After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Emperor Jianhe's handsome face was gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

Prime Minister Qin stood at the front, raised his eyelids lightly, glanced at the emperor on the dragon throne, and remained unmoved.

He would have to wait for two more days. Only when the emperor became extremely anxious could he step forward to take on this hot potato. Only then could the emperor see his ability and value.

Prime Minister Qin had good ideas and understood the emperor's mind thoroughly. No matter what he did, he wanted to get the greatest benefit for himself.

But he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway.

Fu Cheng Yaojin Zheng stood out from the crowd to the center of the hall, standing out from the crowd!

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries."

Swah——

In the whole hall, all the ministers cast their eyes towards Fu Zheng at the same time, and the anger was so intense that it was unbearable.

Emperor Jianhe suspected for a moment that he was hallucinating, but the next moment he sat up straight and asked in surprise, "Prince Pingyang, are you serious?"

"This is a matter of great importance. I dare not joke around."

"I am not a talented official, but the Fu family still owns several grain stores. I discussed with my family yesterday and decided to keep enough food for the family and give the rest to the disaster victims. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it is also a token of my sincere gratitude."

"I am willing to purchase food from Jiangnan. If the price is higher than usual, I am willing to pay out of my own pocket, even if it means losing everything, to ensure that the victims have enough food."

Every word he spoke was full of righteousness and patriotism.

"Okay." Emperor Jianhe patted the armrest of the dragon throne excitedly. "Then I will leave the matter of raising grain to you. No matter what method or means you use, you must transport the grain to Pengzhou to solve the disaster of the people. I order the six ministries to cooperate with you unconditionally."

The ministers suddenly felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping past them, and secretly cursed Fu Zheng for being treacherous.

After he donated the grain, could the others just sit there and watch?

Who can stand in this hall without some assets? Even if there is no grain shop, doesn’t it mean that there is no money?

If you can’t donate grain, then donate silver.

Oh, you said you don’t want to donate.

When no one mentions it, you can play deaf and dumb. At this time, you have to be a coward and pretend you don't know.

Then you can expect to be hated by the emperor. At the very least, you will be given a hard time, and at the worst, you will be dismissed from office.

But this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and they have no way of refusing it.

Fu Zheng: "I obey your order."

Having resolved the huge burden on his heart, Emperor Jianhe suddenly felt relaxed. After leaving court, he even walked with a breeze.

The ministers did not dare to speak until they left the hall.

"Prince Pingyang is truly a man of extraordinary ability." One of the ministers walked past Fu Zheng and glanced at him.

"Hmph, don't end up shooting yourself in the foot." The second minister snorted.

"I would like to congratulate His Majesty in advance on his great achievement." The third minister bowed with a smile, his tone very sarcastic.

"..."

Fu Zheng was walking with the Duke of Protectorate, and was stunned by what these people said.

"Sick."

Prime Minister Qin paused beside Fu Zheng and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"How are you these days, my lord? If you have any difficulties, just let me know and I will do my best to help you."

Fu Zheng was confused: "Not bad... not bad."

What difficulties could he have?

Prime Minister Qin smiled and nodded, without saying anything else, he strode away.

Fu Zheng turned to look at the Duke of the Protectorate and humbly asked, "What does Qin Xu mean?"

The Duke of the Protectorate chuckled and said, "You have been assigned a mission to Jiangnan this time, so you can't go alone. You must bring people with you. Qin Xu wants to put his people beside you. If things don't go well, it's your fault. He will naturally find a way to get rid of his people. But if you really have merit, then the people who accompany you will also benefit from it. You will have a bright future after returning to Beijing."

Fu Zheng's mouth twitched: "She may not look pretty, but she thinks beautifully."

"Who wouldn't be tempted by such huge benefits?" The Duke of the Protectorate said with a smile, "What does Your Majesty want to talk to me about?"

Fu Zheng threw Qin Xu's words out of his mind and said to the Protector of the Country, "Let's find a restaurant and talk while we drink."

"Ah?" The Duke of Protectorate was stunned for a moment and looked up at the sky. It was not yet noon, wasn't it a little early?

Fu Zheng understood what the Lord Protector meant and laughed, "It doesn't matter if I wait an hour. I didn't eat much this morning and I'm hungry."

The Duke of the Guard laughed and nodded in agreement: "Then please, Your Majesty."

The two of them got on the carriage and went to Wangjiang Tower one after the other.

As the name suggests, the building is built by the river. Sitting upstairs with the window open, you can see the sparkling river surface outside. Occasionally, there are a few small boats sailing on the river, which creates a unique scenery.

The most distinctive feature of Wangjiang Tower is the fish. Various fresh fish caught from the river have their own unique deliciousness.

The food and wine came and the two drank and chatted.

"My Lord, I offer you a toast." Fu Zheng held up the wine glass and said to the Lord Protector of the Kingdom, "My daughter was able to be successfully taken back to the palace that day, thanks to the support of the Lord's wife. Later, we divorced, and I also thank the Lord for his words of help in the palace."

The Duke of Huguo smiled and raised his glass: "Your Highness is too polite. When it comes to helping, Yinyin is the benefactor of our Liu family."

"If it weren't for her cleverness and alertness, Cheng Hong's legitimate son would have gotten into trouble in my house, fallen into the trap of the Fifth Prince, and become enemies with the Cheng family." Compared to these, what they did was just a small matter that could be done with just a little effort.

Because of this, they saw through the character of the Sun family and asked their son to stop in time.

Otherwise, if Sun Ruqian is really married, the Huguogong Mansion will be ruined by her sooner or later.

"Let's not be polite and just drink." Fu Zheng said.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Fu Zheng added: "It was Yinyin's suggestion that I came to see the Duke this time. Just as Prime Minister Qin wanted to place his own people to accompany me to Jiangnan, I wondered if the Duke had any good candidates to recommend."

Instead of giving others a bargain, it is better to choose someone you trust.

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Protectorate was slightly stunned. Seeing Fu Zheng's serious look, he knew that he was not joking.

"Have."

Since Fu Zheng was speaking his mind, the Duke of Protectorate did not act pretentiously and nodded.

Being in this position, even if he does not get involved in the fight for the crown prince position, it does not mean that he will not build up his own power.

Fu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.

If the Duke of Protectorate politely refused, he really didn't know what to do.

The fact that the Duke of Protectorate agreed so readily showed that he treated him as his own.

"The Ministry of Revenue has always been in the hands of Prime Minister Qin. Now the Ministry of Revenue has been thoroughly investigated by the emperor and a major purge has been carried out. This is a good opportunity for us. I intend to let the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works take over the position of the Minister of Revenue. If he can go to the south of the Yangtze River with you to get this done, there is a high chance that this will be accomplished." The Duke of Protectorate said.

In other words, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works is the Duke of Protectorate's man.

Fu Zheng nodded in understanding: "Okay, I will report to the emperor tomorrow."

The Duke of the Protectorate smiled slightly and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"You are too polite, my Lord."

Not only did Prime Minister Qin want to take advantage of this opportunity to promote his own people, but Gu Yanqing also wanted credit.
