The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 272 Pursuit

"No," said King Rui, "What a coincidence, this person is the disappointing son of Marquis Jing'an!"

"It's actually him?"

Emperor Yongfeng was a little surprised.

"Since he is from Jing'an Marquis Mansion, why did he appear in Yuntong County and make a thresher?"

This sounds a bit unbelievable.

"I just happened to hear about this. I'll tell His Majesty about it."

Prince Rui was not in a hurry. He watched the palace servants clean up the hall and replace the tea with new water. Then he said, "I heard that the young master of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion has been in poor health and went to Yuntong County to seek medical treatment.

As a result, it happened to be the local autumn harvest time. He watched the people working in the fields during the day, and then picking the rice ears one by one and storing them under the moonlight at night. The elderly and children all stayed up late to work with them, without any rest.

So he felt compassion and spent several nights there, coming up with the idea of ​​a thresher, which he then asked a blacksmith to make.

I heard that it was not easy to make, and it took several revisions before it was finally successful.

Mr. Lu's condition worsened as a result.

Fortunately, there was a local doctor who could cure his disease, so he was saved."

Ye Xinran only gave Prince Rui a rough account of the whole story. As for the rest, Prince Rui made it up himself according to the emperor's preferences.

Having been with the emperor for so many years, he knew that what he liked to hear most were stories about ministers who disregarded their own safety and devoted themselves to serving the court and the people.

After hearing his words, the emperor was indeed moved.

"I never thought that Lu Tingen's son would have such a compassionate heart! Who said before that he was not educated and in poor health, and could not serve the court!

If Daliang were full of good men like him who are dedicated to serving the people, we would have ushered in a prosperous era long ago!

But there are always some people who are just sitting there doing nothing. These people are the shame of Daliang!

Cough cough cough! "

The Yongfeng Emperor became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't stop coughing.

The personal eunuch hurried forward and patted him gently on the back to help him calm down.

Prince Rui also advised: "Your Majesty, you must take the dragon's health into consideration and don't hurt yourself over such a trivial matter."

The violent coughing finally stopped, and Emperor Yongfeng took a sip of tea to suppress the dryness and itchiness in his throat.

Then he said: "For so many years, thanks to you for being by my side and sincerely helping me solve my problems.

Look at my good-for-nothing sons, they only know how to win over their confidants and secretly covet my position.

If Yuanliang were still here, they wouldn't dare to act like this, and why would I worry so much! "

Prince Rui waved his hand and asked the eunuch to leave. He then reached out to support the emperor and gently stroked his back. He said, "Yuanliang's matter is a foregone conclusion. Your Majesty should not worry about it anymore, so as not to worry too much."

Emperor Yongfeng waved his hand.

"I know, I can't die now!

I want to see what kind of chaos those good-for-nothings are going to cause in the imperial court!

The Ministry of Revenue is under the charge of the Second Brother. He cannot escape blame for the mistakes made by his subordinates. I will draft an imperial decree to have him reflect on his mistakes at home for three days."

"Is the punishment too severe?" Prince Rui said, "Second Brother should not be aware of this matter."

"Can you just let the matter go by saying it's not clear?

His subordinates did not do their job well because he did not know the people well and did not use them well. He deserves this punishment."

"The emperor said so."

Prince Rui agreed, "However, if the emperor really wants to investigate, I'm afraid it's not just the second brother who is at fault in this matter."
