"What flood? What plague? Cough..." The emperor became anxious when he heard it, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and stared at King Qi sharply, "What happened?"
King Qi showed concern and embarrassment, and explained: "Father, your health is the most important thing, and the imperial doctor told you to rest at ease. I will discuss these matters with all the adults..."
"Oh?" Li Yufeng interrupted him, looked around the important officials in the court with great interest, and asked bluntly, "Second brother has already discussed with you? It disappeared without a trace, and there has been no new action? It seems that your lords have not done their best to share the worries of the father."
"I don't dare to wait." The six important officials hurriedly bowed their hands, those who supported King Qi in private were already heartbroken, and the others also saw that Li Yufeng's approach was not kind, and they were very surprised.
Li Yufeng didn't wait for King Qi to speak, then turned to the emperor and said, "Father, my son grew up with his grandfather's parents since he was a child, and rarely returned to Beijing. He blamed himself for not being filial in front of his father for many years. Now his father is not feeling well. , Such troublesome things should not be reported to the father, but Erchen is really worried. The floods in the south are getting worse, there is no relief money, no surplus food, and there will be countless casualties. Suffering, so that his righteous sister, who is good at medicine, and friends brought money and supplies to the disaster relief. Unexpectedly, a plague broke out in a town on the outskirts of Beijing. When the son and minister took the exam, the wife had already entered the town to treat the sick, and persuaded the villagers to seal off the way in and out But when Erchen came out of the examination room, he found that the capital was peaceful and no one was in charge of the town. Erchen was worried about the people and his wife, so I begged my father to let Erchen take charge of this matter."
The ministers knew something about the great flood in the south, but the plague in the suburbs of Beijing, those people were all trapped in the town, how could any of them know? Even King Qi didn't know about the plague. Hearing that it was in the suburbs of Beijing, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and the emperor's face turned black!
The old prime minister asked solemnly: "King Xiaoyao, is the plague true?"
"It's absolutely true." Li Yufeng glanced at their surprised and worried expressions, and looked at King Qi, "Second brother sent a lot of people to that town yesterday. Why, you haven't informed the ministers of such a major event?"
All the ministers knew that the old emperor was not in good health, and that King Qi had concealed the incident of the flood. When they heard Li Yufeng's words, their first reaction was that he even concealed the plague. How could he not know? If he didn't know, why did he send people to that town
King Qi hurriedly bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Royal Father, I don't know about the plague yet. I just sent people to arrest a suspicious person yesterday, but I don't know where they chased. I will ask someone to investigate. The epidemic is real, and we must arrange and deal with it as soon as possible.”
He raised his head and smiled rejoicingly: "Fortunately, the emperor's brother is well-informed, and he found out about it just after he left the examination room. Presumably the epidemic will not spread. I wonder if the emperor's brother can lend you the person who reported the letter to my younger brother. My younger brother called someone Understand the situation. By the way, the emperor's brother is already married? How can the emperor's wife put herself in danger? The people around her don't know how to stop her, she is too confused! This brother will arrange for someone to pick up the emperor's wife."
The two princes faced each other tit for tat, and their words stabbed at each other like a knife's edge. Several ministers kept silent and stared at them from the corner of their eyes. King Qi's counterattack is wonderful, so many of them don't know, how did King Xiaoyao know so clearly when he just left the examination room? He didn't know when the wife he married was still in that town. Unless it was a big drama they directed and acted themselves, how would they spread the news? Who sent the news? Has the messenger brought the plague into the capital? These are all big questions.
Li Yufeng smiled slightly, the counterattack is wonderful, but the problem is... the emperor doesn't doubt him, no amount of counterattacks will be useless, he doesn't even need to explain.
He walked up to the emperor, brought a cup of tea for the emperor, and asked for orders again, "Father, my son has never done anything by my father's side. Now my father is not in good health, and my son can no longer enjoy himself freely. Flood disaster How about leaving the matter with the plague to my son? My son will not disappoint my father."
The emperor nodded without thinking, "Okay, you will be solely responsible for this matter."
"Father! My son..." King Qi called out in disbelief.
The emperor raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, and said displeasedly, "I'm not terminally ill, I'm not deaf-mute, I can't bear your filial piety. Today, I called all the ministers into the palace, and I wanted to hold a banquet to welcome the wind. Xichen, but the disaster is imminent, and I will assist Yufeng to deal with the disaster as soon as possible, and I want to know the details before Haishi today."
"Yes, Royal Father!"
"Your servant will obey!"
Li Yufeng and the ministers responded at the same time, so King Qi could only listen. Afterwards, the emperor gave Li Yufeng his most powerful chief internal officer and a team of imperial guards. He was afraid that he would be useless when he was away all year round. When King Qi left the palace, his face was blue, and he almost gritted his teeth with hatred. This was the reason why he wanted to kill Li Yufeng, a son who had never met several times was infinitely more important than their sons who grew up in front of their eyes. If anyone can make his ascension to the throne change, it is undoubtedly Li Yufeng alone!
The emperor kept Li Yufeng behind, and he calmed down when they were all gone, and asked with concern: "Yufeng, have you suffered these days outside? When did you get married? Why didn't you come back to Beijing and let the emperor do it for you?" Marriage? Which family's girl is it?"
Li Yufeng sighed lightly, stepped forward and sat down beside him. He was the only person in the whole world who dared to sit on the emperor's seat, but the emperor was not only angry, but also smiled and patted the back of his hand.
Li Yufeng helped him lean on the soft pillow, and said with a faint smile: "Father, you ask me so many questions at once, which one should I ask you to answer first?"
"Any one is fine, Father just wants to know if you are doing well."
"It wasn't very good at first, but my good second brother and good third brother seem to be getting more and more unpleasant to my eyes." Li Yufeng held the emperor's hand, sent some spiritual power over there, and directly complained, "A few months ago, I came to the capital. I wanted to see you, but I fell into their net and was seriously injured and almost died."
"What?!" The emperor instantly straightened his body, his face full of anger. If Li Yufeng hadn't sent him spiritual power, he might have fainted from anger.
"Nizi! These two naughty sons actually killed my elder brother?!" The emperor slapped the armrest of the seat hard, his chest heaving.
Li Yufeng smiled lightly, "Father, you really never doubted my son's words. But they are indeed too much. My son has long said that he has no intention of governing the country, and only wants to be free and easy, and travel around the world. They have nothing to do with it." I am dying, if I become the next emperor with such a mind, it will be a disaster for the common people."
The emperor frowned and sighed heavily, "In my whole life, I only accepted a concubine after your mother died, and you have three sons. I know that they have their own shortcomings, but I also know about my body, so I can't wait any longer. Ah, oh..."
"Isn't there still me?" Li Yufeng said casually, as if he was saying that he was not so casual after eating, but it was like a thunderbolt that made the chief executive bow his head, wishing he hadn't heard such bold words. Which prince dares to say that to the emperor? There is only this one!
The emperor looked at him in surprise, "You? Didn't you say..."
Li Yufeng played with the folding fan in his hand, "Yeah, my grandfather wanted me to inherit the ancestral knowledge of the Li family and be the best monster catcher, but..." There was a hint of doting in his smile, "Who asked me to marry a What about my incredible wife? I don’t deserve her without any power. You see, I just entered the examination room and took a test, and she went to deal with the plague. If I were a commoner, I could only watch The second brother bullied her, and the second brother sent people to that town to catch her."
The emperor coughed a few times and asked in confusion, "Why did the second child arrest your wife? Threatening you?"
Li Yufeng shook his head, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "I heard that the third child saw my wife's beauty and wanted to rob another woman, but was taught by my wife. The second child is helping the third child."
They all know the virtue of the third prince's love of beauty, and the emperor patted the armrest angrily, "Absurd! Really absurd!"
People have ambitions only when they have a passion, Li Yufeng didn't care about anything before, of course he didn't want to be an emperor, he thought it was tiring to be an emperor. Now that he has someone he wants to protect, and it is only natural that he wants power, the emperor immediately understood his change.
Li Yufeng said to the emperor: "Father, although this minister did not grow up under your teaching, nor did he take up any errands in the court, but these years, in order to deal with the endless schemes, this minister has also managed a lot of power. There are a lot of things. I don’t want to embarrass you, why don’t you let me do a few errands for you to see, and let Director Li follow me to see if I’m capable enough, how about it?”
The emperor liked this son the most, but of course he couldn't pass on the throne to him just because of this liking, so he was very relieved to hear what Li Yufeng said, and he patted Li Yufeng on the shoulder and nodded in agreement.
"You, you have been smarter than other children since you were a child. If your grandfather hadn't snatched you away, I would have taught you myself and made you a prince. Now, ahem, since you have the heart, I will let you try it." The emperor looked at Li Yufeng who looked very similar to himself when he was young, sighed and shook his head, "You don't know who you look like, and you are too courageous. If you change to another emperor, your words and deeds will be suspected."
Li Yufeng smiled and said: "What to say to someone, if you weren't my father, I wouldn't be so bold, aren't you used to it?"
"Hahaha, okay, I'm used to it." The emperor liked his close-to-nature attitude, laughed heartily, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Where is this sacred Chu family that has changed you so much?" ? I really want to see her, when will I bring her into the palace?"
Li Yufeng had a headache and said: "This... I can't promise anything. To be honest, we are called husband and wife to the outside world, but he hasn't agreed to marry me yet. Your son has no name or distinction. You have to ask her if she will come or not." Besides, Erchen hasn't told her about this identity yet, so I don't know if she likes it or not."
"Oh?" The emperor was puzzled, "Whose girl is so strong?"
Li Yufeng asked all the palace people to retreat, and said in a low voice under the emperor's puzzled eyes: "Your daughter-in-law...is a thousand-year-old fox demon."
"... huh?" The emperor was stunned, and it took him a long time to react, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Fox... fox demon?"
