Chapter 154: Ning'er

"Don't calm down!"

The ministers immediately knelt on the ground, saying they were incompetent, their bodies were trembling, and even the prince kneeling in the front row knocked his head to the ground.

"Incompetent? You are incompetent. My civil and military officials combined are not as good as a doctor in the Youfang! I have been ascended to the throne for several years. Every year, someone comes to ask me for money to provide disaster relief. Every year, my desk reports the number of casualties after the disaster, the disaster loss, and the treasury's silver is used to provide disaster relief like flowing water. The Minister of Revenue comes to me every day to cry with me, but no one has ever thought about how to prevent disasters in advance and minimize the losses of natural disasters!"

The emperor reached out and threw the memorial on the table below, which fell right in front of the prince.

"Look, look at it. A doctor who has not yet reached the level of his title has solved this problem that you emperors and important officials have not solved for several years with a booklet. What are your faces that you call "the emperors and important officials"? If you don't go, go back and take your children!"

While speaking, several booklets were thrown down and scattered in front of all court officials.

The prince trembled and turned on the note, knelt on the ground, and quickly browsed the contents on the note.

It was a memorial written by the prefect of Luoxiang Prefecture. A month ago, he followed the advice of a doctor under his rule and formulated an "emergency handling plan", and then let all the people under his rule participate in the exercises, familiar with the self-rescue and mutual rescue and escape methods when various disasters occur, which allowed the natural disaster to pass smoothly. After statistics, the entire Luoxiang Prefecture, in this natural disaster, more than 300 injured people, and after treatment, no one died.

This was something that should be happy. The prince was lying on the ground, unable to understand why the emperor was so angry. No one thought it out before, and it was not too late to think it out now!

However, Wei Zhao? This name sounds very familiar!

Suddenly, his mind flashed. Isn’t Wei Zhao the doctor who has developed magic medicine? He is also from Luoxiang Mansion, and is also nineteen years old. It seems that he is alone.

Then he thought, Wei Zhao was so old that he could make magical medicine and come up with such a brilliant way to prevent natural disasters. It can be seen that he is a talented person. If he could recruit him under his disciples, it might be a powerful weapon and a think tank.

The prince has been very sad recently. The emperor's temper is getting more and more violent. He likes to call him to scold him if he has something to do. He often asks him some questions. If he can't answer, he will punish him to copy books and compare his young brother with him, saying that he is not as good as a fifteen-year-old younger brother. The imperial concubine is proud of this and repeatedly contradicts his mother and son. However, the emperor favors them and scolds the queen for not being able to teach her children. She also asks her mother and queen to go to the queen to listen to the training.

If this continues, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit steadily as the prince and the queen will be implicated by him.

He now urgently needs a think tank to give him advice and help him get rid of the current dilemma.

Wei Zhao's appearance seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope. If there was a smart person around him and taught him how to please his father, the current dilemma would naturally be solved.

The emperor got angry and scolded the court officials so much that they didn't dare to breathe. He stopped, sat on the dragon chaise, looked around at a group of quails below, and spoke, "Has Master Liu come to court yet?"

The eunuch on the side quickly said, "Go back to the emperor, Grand Master Liu is sick and is still recuperating."

"I'm sick? It's almost a month since the imperial physician hasn't been there?"

"When I went back to the emperor, the imperial physician went to see him. He said that Master Liu had a cough. Every winter, he became more and more serious and needed to rest." The eunuch still knelt on the ground, but he was a little more courageous. If you want to say who the emperor listened to in this court, it must be Master Liu. As long as you mention Master Liu, the emperor's anger will disappear.

The emperor was indeed relieved. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Since Grand Master Liu is seriously ill, the prince, you can go and see him on my behalf."

The prince was shocked and stood up and shouted: "Yes, Father!"

He suddenly felt better. He went to visit his ministers on behalf of the emperor. This was a glory, and only a prince who had trust could have an honor. It seemed that his father was not completely disappointed with him.

As long as he works harder and let the emperor see his benefits, he will definitely win the emperor's favor, kill the emperor's brother, and sit in the position of the prince steadily.

He made up his mind to send someone to invite Wei Zhao to Beijing as soon as possible.

"Although the disaster is not serious, Luoxiang Mansion suffered a disaster after all, Luo Wenze!"

Luo Wenze, the Minister of Revenue, dared not pretend to be a quail, so he quickly climbed out of the line: "I am here!"

"I will leave this matter to you to find out the disaster and losses. If you need to provide disaster relief, you will need to provide disaster relief. In addition, I will send someone to Luoxiang Mansion to learn from the scriptures and find out what they are doing to prevent natural disasters!"

Luo Wenze didn't dare to cry and was poor this time, so he quickly thought that he was looking forward to retreating to the court now. As for whether the treasury is empty and whether there is any silver and grain to provide disaster relief, we will consider it slowly in the future!

After discussing the matter for the morning, he got angry again. The emperor felt very tired. He retreated and went back to the bedroom. He took medicine under the service of the eunuch, and then went to bed and took a nap.

On the other side, the prince took his life and hurriedly took two imperial physicians to prepare some precious medicinal materials, and went to the Taishi Mansion to visit Taishi Liu.

As soon as Master Liu and his group returned to Beijing, they heard that the prince was visiting and rushed to the front hall to receive the reception.

"The old minister is sick and has been worried about the emperor and the prince, and he is frightened!" Grand Master Liu showed gratitude for the arrival of the prince and bowed to the imperial city.

"The Grand Tutor is an important official of the country and is deeply trusted by the Emperor. However, the state has been busy recently and the Emperor has not been able to come in person, so I came to visit him. I hope the Grand Tutor will take care of his health, recover as soon as possible, and return to the court as soon as possible to share the worries of the Emperor!" The prince reached out and helped Grand Tutor Liu up, very friendly, without any of the prince's arrogance.

Master Liu was moved and thanked the emperor and prince again for his considerateness. At the same time, he said bluntly that his illness was no longer serious and he would return to the court soon to share his worries.

One of them showed loyalty and the other won the hearts of the people. The two were very scheming.

After the Imperial Doctor took the pulse for Master Liu and confirmed that his illness was fine, the prince said goodbye and returned to the palace to report his life.

After he left, Grand Master Liu returned to the back house, took a painting and the set of tea sets Wei Zhao gave him, and went to the most remote courtyard of the Liu family.

The yard has green bricks and black tiles, no flowers and plants are planted, only a few big trees, no one is walking around in the yard, only waves of sandalwood dispersed in the wind.

He walked into the main house and saw a beautiful woman's back facing Guanyin statue facing the door, with black hair like a waterfall and slender figure. Just looking at her back, you can tell that she was a beauty.

"Ning'er!" he called out, his tone full of love.
