Chapter 297 The Name of Virtue
Xin'an County is an important producer of grain and silkworms, and post-disaster reconstruction is urgent, otherwise it will affect the production of rice and silkworms next year, and it will be worthwhile.

"Buckwheat is growing very well. By mid-September at the latest, there will be good news of a good harvest coming to Beijing."

"Soybeans and corn are harvested in October. In the second half of the year, the victims can eat the food they have grown themselves, but the imperial court still needs to come forward to provide food relief to stabilize the people's hearts."

The officials of the household department shouted: "The eldest princess is virtuous."

The disaster victims can eat the food grown by themselves, the amount of food provided by the court has been reduced, and the expenditure of the household department has been reduced, so the huge fortune made before can be preserved.

perfect.

After that, Jiang Fuguang successively reported the details of the flood and the epidemic.

Relevant excerpts have been reported to Beijing before.

Just doing a summary this time.

"The eldest princess has quelled disasters and cured the epidemic. She has made great contributions to the stability of the country and the people. The title of the eldest princess who protects the country is worthy of the name." Emperor Nanxing smiled and looked at Fuguang at the hall, "What reward do you want?"

"Your Majesty is wise," Fu Guang lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, "It is not the work of one person to cure disasters and epidemics, and I dare not ask His Majesty for credit for this."

Emperor Nanxing thought of the merits and rewards of the previous Fuguang Memorial Report, and the imperial court commended and rewarded them one by one. He must have arrived in Hangzhou by this time.

"Although the disaster has calmed down, most of the family property accumulated by the victims over the years has been destroyed. The future will be very difficult. Xin'an County has been a heavy taxation area for the imperial court since ancient times. I hope that Your Majesty will help the victims to live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible, so that Xin'an County will soon return to its former prosperity."

"In the original Xin'an County, Xin'an and Sui'an counties were merged into one. Later, due to the imperial court's vigorous development of silkworms, they were governed by one county. The two counties were originally large counties, and their population was far greater than that of other counties. Now that Xin'an County has been hit by a disaster, a lot of things are waiting to be done, and everything is complicated. The minister thought that the combined county should be governed. This is inappropriate. The minister boldly proposed to divide the original Suian County from Xin'an County, and send competent people to manage Sui'an County."

"..."

After returning to Beijing after pacifying the disaster, he didn't think about awarding rewards, but was still thinking about the future of Xin'an County.

The courtiers looked different.

I heard that on the day the eldest princess returned to Beijing, all the people in Xin'an County saw her off with tears in their eyes, and the stretch stretched for more than ten miles. After Hangzhou County was gradually opened up, many people with lofty ideals, literati, and writers rushed to Xin'an County to witness this scene with their own eyes. Poems praising the lawsuit were widely circulated in the Southern Dynasties.

The people in Xin'an County spontaneously wanted to build a shrine for the eldest princess to show her meritorious deeds, a statue of virtue, and a monument of goodness.

The Chu family donated a Taishan stone they had collected. It is said that the Taishan stone was born with a human shape. It is a rare multicolored stone with a head as white as jade and a black body.

Like a gorgeous and noble woman, wearing black clothes, she is unique and independent.

Taishan stone is a geomantic stone, if it is taken, it is extremely peaceful, and it means that it is as peaceful as Mount Tai.

Moreover, Taishan Shining is indestructible, unyielding, and immortal for thousands of years.

It was heard that the eldest princess was not allowed to build a living temple, so some people enshrined the portrait of the eldest princess at home.

It is enough to see that the eldest princess is no less than a god in the hearts of Wanmin in Xin'an County.

After the court was over, Dr. Liu walked up to Jiang Fuguang and bowed frankly: "The eldest princess has a benevolent heart to help the world, protect the country and the people, a woman is loyal and brave, and has never been inferior to her son. I was pedantic in the past. I hope the eldest princess will forgive me."

Jiang Fuguang was slightly surprised, and hurriedly said: "The Yu family in the previous dynasty died in a family, but the root is directly related to the relatives in the harem. Dr. Liu took history as a mirror and took it as a warning. It was not a pedantic fault, but a reason for caution. As a royal official, it is his duty to admonish your majesty. It is not inappropriate because of his duty."

Doctor Liu's reasoning still makes sense, so he can't be regarded as pedantic, but he is a bit stubborn and conservative.

He was also a direct minister, and it was his fault to be stubborn and conservative.

Dr. Liu was stunned for a moment, he used to always dislike the eldest princess who is a girl but interferes in the government affairs, always wants to impeach her if she gets the chance, unexpectedly the eldest princess doesn't care about it.

He put on a straight face: "As the eldest princess said, I don't think I was wrong before. It's because the eldest princess has a heart for the world. I am ashamed of the old man who underestimated the eldest princess. If there is something wrong with the eldest princess in the future, the old man will still impeach her."

Jiang Fuguang looked calm: "It should be so."

Many courtiers came to talk to Jiang Fuguang, Jiang Fuguang responded with a smile.

Marquis Cheng An looked at this scene from a distance, and he had a feeling that he could not lose money by stealing chickens.

Not long after Jiang Fu came to the court to listen to the government, except for the military generals of the Qi Party, there were very few civil servants who supported her. This time when she returned to Beijing after the disaster, she gained a reputation as a virtuous person among the people, and many poor families and Qingliu in the court drew closer to her.

Jiang Jingzhang's face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice: "This bitch is really lucky."

Marquis Cheng An frowned, but didn't say much.

"Grandfather, it was you who said that I am the only direct son of His Majesty. It is a law of etiquette to have a son but not a son. The etiquette cannot be abolished, and the law cannot be broken. There are many supporters in the court."

"It's also you who said that abolishing the imperial family and setting up the concubine is not tolerated by the law of etiquette. Han Gaozu wanted to abolish the imperial concubine and establish the concubine. The monarch and his ministers have not succeeded for many years, and the one who finally ascended to the throne is Liu Ying who is still a descendant."

"It was you who told me not to participate in factional struggles, let alone the muddy waters between the Marquis of Cheng'an's Mansion and the Taiwei's Mansion. As long as I am a humble and respectful third prince, Jiang Fuguang will not be able to get hold of him. Your Majesty will have no chance to abolish the heir and establish a concubine. The neutral faction will still restrain Jiang Fuguang to prevent Jiang Fuguang from chaotic government and dictatorship. Sooner or later, the throne will be mine."

"However, the result now is that the queen mother has been deprived of the Phoenix seal, and she has to reflect in the middle palace. The Marquis of Cheng'an was deposed as a nobleman, and I was conferred the title of a not-so-famous King An. Ye Shangshu of my Yue family fell, and I married a worthless concubine. Jiang Jinghuang, who has never had a sense of existence, married the daughter of the Meng family in Lingnan, and won the support of the Taiwei's mansion."

Jiang Jinghuang got married in July, which was originally planned, but due to the serious disaster in Xin'an County at that time, the marriage was not arranged in a big way.

But His Majesty named him King Yong.

Yong, and also.

The word Tongyong means moderation.

The title didn't matter at all, but Jiang Jingzhang thought that the word "An" given to him by his father was almost the same as the word "Yong" in Jiang Jinghuang. How could he feel comfortable when he was compared with a concubine?

He also thought about the fact that Jiang Fuguang was granted the title of Princess Protector, the title of "Protecting the Country" was equivalent to that of a Prince, but with the word "Long", his status was still higher than that of a Prince.

What does the emperor want to do?
Could it be that he really wanted to abolish the first wife and establish the concubine, let the cowardly Jiang Jinghuang succeed him, and then make Jiang Fuguang a veritable princess regent.

A puppet emperor, as long as he is mediocre and obedient.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for His Majesty to give Jiang Jinghuang the word "Yong"?

His Majesty bestowed the word "An" on him before, telling him clearly to let him keep his own place.
