Red makeup against the world

Chapter 509
After hearing Xu Wanzhen finish speaking, Su Liangzhi applauded and laughed: "Good! Great good!"

His original plan was to make Ling'er a little maid for Xu Wanzhen to solve her livelihood problem.Unexpectedly, the method proposed by Xu Wanzhen was hundreds of times better than what he imagined.

It not only takes care of Linger's ambition, but also supports himself.

Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly: "It's just teaching people how to fish."

……

The epidemic situation in Luoyang City has eased, and the prince and his party, who are patrolling on behalf of the sky, have just arrived in Dizhou.

As you can see along the way, people are displaced and diseases are rampant.On both sides of the official road, there are often teams of disaster victims supporting the old and the young, and everyone looks disheartened.

The prince couldn't bear it.He grew up in Luoyang City since he was a child, and he has never experienced the turmoil of the previous dynasty. He was not mentally prepared for such misery that hit his face.

Under Tian Zifeng's suggestion, the entire convoy speeded up, and the sooner they arrived in Dizhou, the sooner they could host the disaster relief.

The water in Dizhou has receded, leaving only a devastated area with ruins.

Xiang Shi led the officials of the state government and greeted them from a distance.It's not just the imperial envoy, but also the incomparably noble Crown Prince, how could he be slighted.

That night, the prince stayed in the governor's mansion, and hosted a banquet for the governor to welcome him.

"The prince has come from a long way, and you have worked hard all the way!" He raised his wine glass to the governor and said with a flattering smile.As a local official, even if he went to Beijing to report on his duties, he would not be able to sit and drink with the crown prince.How can such a good opportunity to get closer to each other be let go?

Everyone ordered to raise their glasses and said that the prince had worked hard.

The prince smiled reservedly, and responded lightly.

Dizhou had just been hit by a disaster, and the banquet that the governor tried his best to gather was not as good as the ordinary banquet of the big families in Luoyang City.However, everyone at the table was trying to curry favor with the prince, and this feeling of being surrounded by stars made him feel a little smug.

But the prince kept in mind Guan Jinghuan's instructions to keep him calm, and his face was calm, not revealing.

After drinking a round of wine, he saw the prince's indifferent expression to the governor, clapped his hands, and two young beauties came up.One plays the piano and the other dances, adding to the fun of the banquet.The prince was playing with silk and bamboo, squinting his eyes slightly, and tapped the time with his fingers.Although he doesn't like women, such beauty is undoubtedly worth appreciating.

Seeing that he was interested, there were constant compliments in the banquet.Between the singing and dancing, everyone was mingling with red faces, and they were in high spirits.If the disaster victims outside the governor's mansion were ignored, it would be a scene of prosperity.

When the fiery atmosphere reached its climax, a man suddenly jumped up from the table, and his blunt voice resounded throughout the audience: "His Royal Highness! I wonder where the relief food has gone? The granary in the state capital is already empty. The people outside Hungry."

This man is about 40 years old, wearing a light green official robe with a silver belt, and is a seventh-rank county magistrate.His voice, like a discordant note, interrupted the conversation on the wine table.In the field, it suddenly became quiet.

The prince narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and the sharp light flashed away.

Xiang Cishi clenched his fist and coughed lightly, he didn't want him to come to this stupefied young man, but now he really caused trouble.He didn't think about it, if he offended the prince, what good fruit would the officials present have.He hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Xie County Magistrate, His Royal Highness just arrived today, and we will discuss this matter tomorrow."

County magistrate Xie poked his neck and said: "The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the bones are frozen to death. Outside the door are the hungry victims. They lack food and clothing, and are sick. May I ask the adults in the banquet, how can you eat?" "

His words offended everyone in the banquet, and everyone put down their chopsticks in embarrassment.

Tian Zifeng leaned into the prince's ear and whispered a few words, and the prince applauded lightly: "Magistrate Xie is a good official who is worried about the suffering of the people! The food team set off earlier than my highness, and they are rushing to Dizhou day and night. It will arrive in a few days."

As soon as the words were spoken, the officials headed by Xiang Shishi flattered one after another, and the voices of "Prince is wise" and so on kept coming and going.There was a trace of color in the prince's heart, he relaxed and leaned back on the chair, full of ambition.

County magistrate Xie looked pale and sat down slowly.I thought to myself, it seems that the prince is not as violent as the rumors in the market, he can listen to opinions and do practical things, and in the future, he must be a wise monarch.

……

It was night, the sky was covered with overcast clouds, and only occasionally when the moon poked its head through the thick clouds, there was a little light on the earth.

A fast horse knocked open the gate of Dizhou city, and went straight to the mansion where the prince stayed.

In Tian Zifeng's house, lights were lit to receive the visitors.

After reading the letter in the visitor's hand, Tian Zifeng frowned and paced back and forth in the room.After a while, he said: "Go down and rest first, and wait for my order."

After he went down, Tian Zifeng went to Master Du's room and woke him up.

"How could this be?" Master Du turned pale with shock.

The letter stated that the food team encountered a torrential rain the day before yesterday.Fearing that the grain would get wet, the officers and soldiers who escorted the grain would open the oilcloth to inspect it on the spot when they arrived at the shelter from the rain, but they were strongly opposed by the grain transporter.

Chen Xiaowei, who led the team, sensed something was wrong, and forcibly opened a cart of grain for inspection, only to find that more than half of it was moldy old grain.

Shopkeeper Sun of the Ningxing Company, who was in charge of the food transportation, not only did not feel panic after the incident was exposed, but arrogantly threatened that it would be good if the victims had something to eat, and there was also this year's new food in it.

Chen Xiaowei is a member of Prince Wei's mansion, knowing that the matter is important, how dare he hide it?Shopkeeper Sun has been brought under control right now, and at the same time, he sent a secret report to ask for an idea.

The food team was delayed on the road one day away from Dizhou. In order to avoid leaking out, Chen Xiaowei could only restore the food truck to its original state and wait for orders.

Tian Zifeng shook his head slowly, and said: "Brother Du, do you know the origin of this Ningxing firm? How could it be so arrogant?"

Master Du sighed: "I know one thing, this Ningxing firm has something to do with the Crown Princess' natal family."

"Crown Princess?" Tian Zifeng sighed secretly, it was so secretive that he didn't investigate the background of the firm when he set off.He only randomly checked a few carts of grain and let them go.

Master Du was worried, and asked: "What do you think about this? Once such old food is distributed, it will no longer be able to be covered."

"It's not up to you or me to make decisions about the Crown Princess." Tian Zifeng pondered, "We must report to the Crown Prince now, and the Crown Prince will make a decision."

……

The local dignitaries in Dizhou praised the prince for a long time at the reception banquet, which made him, who has always been self-disciplined, drink some wine involuntarily.

Back in the room, he felt extremely happy, no wonder everyone wants to stand at the pinnacle of power, this feeling is really great!
Wang Miaoyan brought him hangover soup, the prince stretched out his hand, caressing Wang Miaoyan's tender skin lazily, and looked at the beautiful woman who was smiling cleverly under the light, with a wicked smile on his face.
