The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 224
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince seeks an audience..."

Liu Quanxi lowered his head and whispered.

Emperor Tianchen looked at the Crown Prince and the Third Prince standing aside, put down his pen and said, "Let him in!"

While talking, Emperor Tianchen smiled at the crown prince: "I heard that the side concubine in your mansion is pregnant, which is a good thing, let the crown princess take care of it more, your heir is still a little weak."

The crown prince bowed in response, with a smile on his lips: "What the father said is that the minister will let people take care of Concubine Meng."

He glanced at the third prince again, with a smile that was not a smile: "I heard that the youngest son born to concubine He in the third younger brother's mansion is sick, so I don't know how it is now?"

When the Third Prince heard this, his body became colder and he cupped his hands: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Prince, you are still taking medicine safely."

It is said that medicine is used, but in fact, most people know that the youngest son in the third prince's mansion, Ping An, may not succeed. He has not got out of bed for several months at such a young age, and at this moment, he may just hang himself with medicine. , I can't say that I will leave someday.

The meaning of the crown prince's words is very obvious. Emperor Tianchen said that his heirs are weak, so he clings to the third prince. It is true that his heirs are weak, but now he has four sons, although most of them are not healthy. Very good, I don't know if he can become an adult, but he has one more son than the third prince. What's more, the youngest son of the third prince will soon die. How can he say that he is stronger than the third prince.

Emperor Tianchen took a look at the crown prince, and the boredom flashed across his eyes. This son doesn't say he loves his brothers, but cares about everything with his brothers. tolerance.

Taking another look at the third prince who clearly had a painful expression on his face, Emperor Tianchen felt distressed again. Although this third son looked a little colder, he was the most cold-hearted and soft-hearted lord. He was also filial to himself and to his brothers They also take care, the most important thing is that this son was born to Queen Kong, so Emperor Tianchen naturally treated him differently.

"Third brother, there is still a thousand-year-old ginseng in the internal storage. When you leave later, let Liu Quanxi find it and you bring it back. It will be used by Ping An and see if it can be better."

Gao Zixuan heard this sentence as soon as he entered the room, he didn't speak, just stood aside and watched.

The third prince quickly knelt down and licked his head: "Royal father, this can't be done. That ginseng is a rare item, and I have to keep it for the royal father. How can I give it to you safely..."

Emperor Tianchen waved his hand: "Things are dead, but people are alive. I am in good health. Wherever I need it, let's use it safely."

After all, the third prince felt sorry for Ping An, so he didn't say anything else.

Only now did Gao Zixuan go forward to greet Emperor Tianchen, the crown prince and the third prince, but when he stood up, he heard the crown prince's sneer: "Father, according to my son, it is better to give the ginseng to the ninth brother." Alright, Brother Ninth was injured this time and his vitality has been damaged, and he urgently needs some good medicinal herbs to nourish his body."

Emperor Tianchen hadn't spoken yet, the crown prince was afraid that he couldn't hit people, so he said loudly: "Jiudi is not too young now, let's not talk about sons, no daughters have been born, what good things should be kept close to Jiudi. "

Gao Zixuan lowered his head, clenched his right hand, his heart was full of anger, the crown prince became more and more out of order, and now he actually provoked the relationship between their brothers.

Seeing that the third prince's expression was also not good, he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Gao Zixuan became even more angry, he didn't care about sons and daughters, a son like the crown prince would only cause trouble if he wanted it, so it's better not to have it.

The room was full of swords and swords, and there was a tense atmosphere, Liu Quanxi retreated quietly, fearing that he would be contaminated by something.

Emperor Tianchen was sad and angry at the same time, he slapped the table: "Okay, let's not say a word, whoever I give is whoever I give, and I can't allow others to criticize."

As soon as the prince heard that something bad was going to happen, he shrank his neck and stepped aside, muttering in a low voice: "Ninth brother should think about it more, among the brothers, you are the only one...won't Ruogu find some bright ones for the ninth brother?" Send it to my daughter's house."

Gao Zixuan was furious, and he had always been known as the overlord, so he said loudly without hesitation: "Then thank the prince, but I don't need any women, the prince's eyes are still somewhat unbelievable, you If you can really pick a good one, those little nephews in your house won't be all thin and thin. If you want my brother to say, this woman, who will carry on the family line, doesn't need to be beautiful, as long as she has good bones and is easy to bear, that's all. Why don't my younger brother find some fertile ones and send them to my elder brother."

After saying those words, the angry prince's hands trembled, but he couldn't do it in front of Emperor Tianchen. However, his eyes on Gao Zixuan were full of jealousy and insidiousness, as if he wanted to smash Gao Zixuan immediately.

Emperor Tianchen saw it, and was startled, and couldn't help being a little more wary of the prince.

Looking at Gao Zixuan again, this youngest son has obviously lost a lot of weight, and his face is also somewhat pale, it can be seen that his body is weak after all.

"Ah Jiu, are you feeling better?"

Fearing that these two would quarrel again, Emperor Tianchen had no choice but to change the subject.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zixuan hurriedly saluted: "If you go back to Father, your son is already healed. Tete came here to thank Father for his concern."

Emperor Tianchen laughed: "You'll be fine as long as you're well, poor parents all over the world, I was always in fear during the few days when you were injured."

Gao Zixuan quickly knelt down: "Father Lao is worried, it's my son's fault."

"That's all!" Emperor Tianchen lifted Gao Zixuan himself with a smile on his face, "You should be more careful in the future, Chang'an City is not peaceful now, there are such gangsters acting, it seems that this curfew still has to be enforced."

"Yes!" Gao Zixuan quickly responded and stepped aside.

Emperor Tianchen sighed, and said to the third prince and the crown prince: "Think about the matter discussed just now, from the beginning of winter last year until now, the rain has been very rare, and it is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but this spring is actually It hasn't rained even once, and the crops..."

Gao Zixuan listened carefully, and also frowned. Looking at it now, maybe the locust plague will happen this summer, and he doesn't know how many people will suffer.

Squeezing the paper in his sleeve, Gao Zixuan listened quietly, thinking of finding a good time to present the blueprint of the design.

"Now the north is fine, but the Jiangnan side is even more powerful!" The third prince sighed, "My son heard the people from the south of the Yangtze River say that the land is cracked due to the drought, not to mention the crops, even the weeds can't grow. stand up."

"I'm worried!" Emperor Tianchen frowned and sighed.

"Father, what my son means is to send people to search the topography of various places to find underground water sources. If they can find them, it would be a good idea to dig wells at the water sources for the daily drinking and irrigation of the people." The third prince replied with hands clasped.

Gao Zixuan lowered his head, thinking about talking about him later.

But he didn't want the prince to sneer at this moment: "Third brother said this lightly, and the groundwater is invisible, how can it be so easy to find, your method, I am afraid it will be a laborious and laborious, Yigu means , Drought is a natural disaster, it must be a warning from heaven, why not take a shower and change clothes, fast for a few days, and then bring all the civil and military ministers of the court to pray for rain."

As soon as the crown prince's words fell to the ground, not to mention Gao Zixuan and the third prince, it was Emperor Tianchen who changed his face first, and said sharply: "The prince means that I am not good enough as an emperor, and the heavens warn me? What is the warning? Did I do it?" What's the matter of anger and grievance? Hmph, I'm afraid the crown prince wants me to pray for rain, but wants me to abdicate."

The words were so serious that the prince's heart trembled when he heard it, and he quickly knelt down and smacked his head heavily: "Father Huang Mingjian, the son didn't mean that, the son was also worried, worried about the lives of the people..."

Emperor Tianchen was so angry that he ignored the crown prince and turned his attention to the third prince.

The third prince lowered his head and thought, the crown prince is still unable to move now, if not, Emperor Tianchen would not just blame him and not punish him severely, so he wanted to sell it for a good deal, smiled and said: "Father, the prince's brother is also heartbroken!" It's not intentional to worry about my father... I hope my father will forgive him."

As soon as the third prince begged for mercy, Emperor Tianchen gave the prince a cold look: "Forget it, it's your younger brother who begged for you, so get up."

The prince got up, straightened his clothes and thanked the third prince, but his eyes were a little colder.

Emperor Tianchen was startled, pretending he didn't see it, he said to Gao Zixuan, "Ah Jiu, tell me, which of your two elder brothers' methods is better?"

Seeing him, Gao Zixuan knew that the time was ripe, and said with a smile: "Father, my son thinks that third brother's method is good. We should find some people who are proficient in geography to find underground water sources. If the wells can be drilled, the harvest this summer will still be small." Guaranteed."

Emperor Tianchen nodded, and then asked the third prince: "Third son, I will leave this matter to you. You must find someone who is proficient in geography and can find water veins."

Gao Zixuan quickly responded, and took a step forward: "Father, my son still has some ideas."

"Oh?" Emperor Tianchen looked at him with a smile and asked: "If you have any thoughts, just say it. There are only us father and son here. If you say something bad, no one will blame you."

While talking, Emperor Tianchen asked the prince with a half-smile: "Prince, do you think so?"

The prince was frightened just now, how could he dare to say anything bad here, he quickly wiped off his sweat and said, "What the father said is true."

Gao Zixuan had a wild smile on his face: "Nowadays the drought is severe, even if a well is dug, it may be a deep well, and it is not easy to draw water, let alone water it. My son has got something now, which is somewhat convenient."

As he spoke, Gao Zixuan took out the blueprint from his sleeve and put it on the table in front of Emperor Tianchen: "This thing is called a water wheel, and it can be made by skilled craftsmen, and then it is placed on a deep well so that people can step on it to draw water. Tight."

Emperor Tianchen took the blueprint and took a closer look. It was somewhat similar to the waterwheel on the big river, but it was more delicate and smaller than that kind of big waterwheel. It could be put on the well, but not Know how it works.

"This……"

Emperor Tianchen was a little uncertain.

Gao Zixuan smiled: "If Father doesn't believe it, just ask someone to make it and try it. Originally, the son planned to take it out to please Father on his birthday, but today he saw that Father was frowning, so he took it out. Whether it is successful or not, we will also have a heart-to-heart with Father."

What he said was very sweet, and Emperor Tianchen was also happy when he heard it. He patted Gao Zixuan's shoulder with a loving expression: "Ah Jiu's mouth is becoming more and more eloquent. It's alright, I will let the Ministry of Industry If the trial production is really effective, I will reward you a lot.”

Gao Zixuan quickly waved his hand: "My son doesn't want to reward or not. The son just wants the father to be happier and less troubled. Now the son is watching, the father has gray hair, it must be for the government. Tired, the son intends to share his father's worries, but it is a pity that he is poorly educated and doesn't know anything, so he can only worry."
