Chapter 1159 The greater the credit, the greater the risk!
The more Lu Feng listened, the lower he lay down, wanting to crawl into a crack in the ground.
What the old general said is absolutely right. This is what the prince planned to do, and this is the result.
But he hasn't given up on pleading for his master, "Your Majesty, the prince has been living cautiously for so many years, for fear of making the slightest mistake and causing trouble for the family. Just this time, he was young and energetic and did not think carefully. The prince will definitely change in the future..."
"Bang!" Old General Lu had already grabbed the teapot and smashed it out, shouting angrily, "He still wants to change, so why should he change it! His life is about to be lost! Are you going to repent to the Lord of Hell?"
Lu Feng raised his head in horror, somewhat in disbelief.
Although the prince loves the princess, he is now the prince's consort. As long as he treats the princess better in the future and coaxes her to change her mind and stop thinking about the princess, everything should be fine.
Why can’t you repent? Why will you die!
The military advisor calmed the old general and now explained a few words to Lu Feng.
"The princess is the emperor's legitimate daughter, she is extremely noble, and she is on good terms with Princess Kangle. It is disrespectful for the prince to deceive him first. The girl he likes is the princess's best friend, which is probably what makes the princess most angry.
“The purpose of the marriage granted by the emperor is to win over our Lu family and secure the southwest. The crown prince is that link, but if the princess becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child. This child combines the blood of the royal family and the Lu family, and is the best candidate to inherit the military power.
“At that time, the prince will be useless, and he will definitely die!”
Lu Feng's face turned pale when he heard this, and he trembled with his lips for a long time before saying, "No wonder, no wonder the princess wanted to consummate the marriage with the prince regardless of the filial piety period. The slave originally thought that the young couple was fighting at the end of the bed, but he didn't expect that the princess was for …Kill the prince’s life!”
Old General Lu walked up and down on the ground with his hands behind his back. No matter how much he hated his son for being ignorant, he could not watch him die an untimely death at such a young age.
The military advisor thought quickly and suggested, "General, the Li family and the Marquis are not ruthless in their actions, and they have known each other for many years. If the prince stops provoking, they will definitely not add insult to injury.
“Now, as long as the third princess calms down or the emperor agrees to spare the prince’s life, this matter will be over.”
Old General Lu nodded and responded, "I still have to trouble you to go to Xindu. No matter what, I want to save that bastard's life. I will lead my people to wipe out the Maitreya Sect immediately. By then, I will have some confidence in front of the emperor." ”
“Yes, general, don’t worry, I’m going to pack my luggage and set off. General, please be careful.”
The military advisor gave a few instructions and bowed his head in salute.
The old general patted him on the shoulder. He had been an old friend for many years, so there was no need to say more.
Lu Feng knelt on the ground and felt uncomfortable when he saw the old general putting on his helmet again, covering his half-white hair.
Children are debts!
Who would have thought that the prince, who had made the family worry-free for twenty years, would make such a big mistake for the first time...
Speaking of Xindu, every family knew about donating food and porridge that night.
When the whole family heard about it and found out the whole story, everyone hated Dingbeihou so much that they gnashed their teeth.
If you don't have the ability to apply eye drops, don't try your best. Now you're dragging everyone along to suffer the loss, you're really stupid!
But no matter how much you scold, no one dares to take action at this time, but should respond positively.
Because the emperor killed the queen mother, imprisoned the concubine, helped the prince to ascend the throne, married the princess, and then killed the queen.
After a series of events, no one knows what he will do next.
If you are trying to kill a chicken to scare a monkey, and you jump out and are caught at this time, you are asking for death.
So, early on the next morning, the food and vegetables donated by each family were immediately received.
Li Laoer was temporarily assigned to take charge of relief for the victims outside the city.
The reason is simple. He has been running the city's relief department.
In recent years, the lives of the elderly and children in the Relief Department have been getting better and better. They have no shortage of food and clothing. They can even start reading and occasionally do some small business to earn pocket money for themselves.
The most important thing is that the entire Xindu will benefit from it.
There is not a single beggar in the streets and alleys, and they are kept clean. There is no snow in winter, no water in summer, no fallen leaves in autumn, and no catkins in spring.
Absolutely make the best use of everyone!
Of course, these are small things, but really smart people know that it is not easy to do this.
This is also the reason why Li Laoer holds the position of earl without any fame and has a firm foothold in the court.
Nowadays, there are many refugees outside the city. It is also necessary to arrange food and accommodation, maintain order, and finally find a way out.
Li Laoer is the most familiar with this job, and it must be him.
When Li Laoer was summoned to the imperial study room, he was a little prepared. After all, he had guessed it when he broke the golden beach and cooked the porridge.
But when he actually heard the appointment from the emperor himself, he still looked frightened.
“Your Majesty, I used to just take the old and weak women and children from the relief department to find a way out, which is really not that much of a skill. Now that there are so many refugees, I’m really worried...”
"My dear, there is no need to be modest. This matter belongs to you. I trust you! Just treat these refugees as the old, weak, women and children of the Relief Department. As long as you ensure that they don't cause trouble, the Maitreya Cult will be wiped out and the south will be peaceful. It will be considered a success if you send them back home. When the time comes, I will remember your great contribution!"
Other important ministers were also afraid of taking on this hot potato, so they all began to persuade him.
“Yes, Mr. Li, this matter belongs to you.”
“Uncle Li acted cautiously and thoughtfully, and it was appropriate to appease the refugees.”
"Uncle Li, this is a good opportunity to share the emperor's worries. You can't postpone it."
Li Laoer sneered in his heart, but his face was still hesitant.
After a long while, he responded, "Your Majesty, I am just an idle earl, and I am capable of arranging food and accommodation for the refugees. But in the hearts of the refugees, the ones who respect and trust the most are the emperor and the prince!"
"How about this? Please work harder, Prince, and occasionally go out of the city to meet the refugees and appease the people. What do you think?"
The emperor was satisfied and immediately agreed.
"The prince is the crown prince of a country, and such natural and man-made disasters are just what they should be. Please feel free to do whatever you want, and just discuss anything with the prince."
The prince also smiled and said, "It will be hard work for Mr. Li from now on."
Li Laoer saluted repeatedly, and then raised several specific difficulties, all of which were of great help in resettling the residents.
The emperor and the prince immediately issued the order and were even more satisfied.
As a superior, what he likes most is pragmatic ministers.
You may not have enough ability, but as long as you accept the errand, you will do it wholeheartedly, which will naturally make people feel most at ease.
Several important ministers couldn't explain how they felt and were a little angry. After all, they had been busy for two days. In the end, the favorability of the emperor and the prince was wiped away by Li Laoer.
More regrets, if they had taken over the job, would they have been so pushy?
But after thinking about it, they backed down again.
The greater the credit, the greater the risk…
Subsequently, the emperor summoned all the censors, and stopped wasting their salaries in the new capital. They all left the new capital and went south to several states to serve as inspection envoys.
There are constant refugees on the road, and we cannot let them all gather outside Xindu.
