Prince Baojun, who had been proud in the court for several years, now has to discuss everything with the prince. However, the prince is now soft-tempered and docile, and the Xu family's vitality has been seriously damaged. There is not even a descendant of the Xu family in the court who can support the appearance. No, so the prince often asks for instructions from Lord Long Live. Lord Long Live seems to be very satisfied with the prince's current honest behavior, and has re-employed several descendants of the Xu family, but they are only idle posts of the fifth and sixth grades, and all the court officials are With a bright eye and a bright heart, he probably understood what Long Live Lord meant, and for a while no one dared to interact with the princes in private anymore.
Without the constraints of the princes, the life of the left and right ministers and the six ministries has been much easier. Long Live Lord obviously wants to weaken the power in the hands of the princes, so he naturally pays more attention to the courtiers. This is undoubtedly a big deal for the courtiers. The happiest thing about the good things happened is Wei Junchen, the right minister. Since the prince was banned, he has been walking on thin ice in the court, and now he is finally looking forward to the prince's return. It's not that happiness brings sorrow. On the second day after the prince returned to the court, Wei Junchen fell ill. He was very ill and couldn't even get out of bed. He had to submit a leave note to the palace, hoping to take half a month's leave. Long live the Lord was happy and paid a large sum of money. With a wave of his hand, Wei Junchen was allowed to rest for a whole year, allowing him to recuperate without worrying about government affairs.
Wei Junchen looked at Lord Long Live's Zhu Biao. His already pale face turned even paler now, and his illness suddenly became three points worse. Lord Long Live was kind and ordered the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to go to the Wei Mansion three times a day. Wei Junchen was grateful, but However, his condition did not improve for a long time. Wei Junchen's son asked Taoist priests from Qianlei Temple to exorcise his father's evil spirits and pray for blessings. Wei Junchen's health gradually improved, but it was only after the New Year that he could barely get off the ground.

End of September of the 24th year of Jiasheng
Severe drought in the south.
Since the beginning of autumn, there has been an unusual drought in the south. In some places, it has not rained for three consecutive months. Autumn is the harvest time in the south. More than half of Dali's food supply depends on the supply from the south. Every year, the national treasury earns The biggest one is the tax in the south, of which the tax on grain fields is naturally indispensable. But looking at the weather this year, the tax in the south is likely to be reduced by at least half, not to mention how many people will starve to death.
In the morning, Long Live Lord ordered Prince Ning and Minister of Household Affairs Wan Yaojie to go to the south of the Yangtze River and the southwest respectively to deal with the drought.
All the courtiers looked at each other. Why did Long Live Lord suddenly remember the eldest prince who had been in court for more than ten years
When I thought about the series of abnormal behaviors of Lord Long Live in recent times, I had some thoughts in my heart. In order to consolidate the imperial power, Lord Long Live actually involved the eldest prince.
When Zhao Ruhai came to Prince Ning's Mansion to convey the order, Lu Zhishan was really confused for a while.
"Why did your father suddenly think of me?" Lu Zhishan made a cup of tea for Zhao Ruhai with his own hands and handed it over, "Do you know your father's intention?"
Zhao Ruhai took a sip of tea, looked at Lu Zhishan, and said solemnly: "The harem is constantly involved with the former dynasty. In the past, I could just turn a blind eye, but now I don't want to tolerate it anymore. "
"It seems that Concubine Li's incident has had a great impact on my father," Lu Zhishan nodded, and said to Zhao Ruhai, "I understand that my father wants to use my hand to suppress other princes, but how can I allow him to do so?" Going out of Beijing?”
