Chapter 366 The Crown Princess interferes in politics?
Of course, Prince Jing only hopes that something unexpected will happen to his brother, the Crown Prince.
For example, he was seriously injured, had a broken leg, etc.
He still cared about the brotherhood and didn't want the prince to die.
Even so, Prince Jing still felt a little guilty when he met the Crown Princess and the Emperor's sister-in-law.
Especially now, why is the Crown Princess staring at him?
Lin Qingning bowed slightly, "Prince Jing, I heard that you are going to the south to provide disaster relief?"
This is a serious job.
Prince Jing straightened his chest and said, "Indeed, is there anything wrong with the Imperial Sister-in-law?"
Lin Qingning: "First there was a flood, then there was a drought. I'm afraid there will be an epidemic. Before you leave, you can bring some doctors and medicinal herbs with you."
These days, Lin Qingning was worried about the situation during the war, but she did not ignore other things.
For example, heavy rain in the south.
She remembered reading some medical books, which pointed out that epidemics were prone to occur under such circumstances.
If the epidemic is allowed to spread, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
Prince Jing was very unhappy after hearing this, "Sister-in-law, as a woman, you should not get involved in important court affairs."
After saying this, he nodded slightly again, turned around and left with Sun Jin.
Lin Qingning frowned, "I hope I'm just worrying too much."
Here, Prince Jing brought Sun Jin to see his father-in-law and talked about disaster relief.
Du Feng was very happy. After all, it seemed that His Majesty wanted to make use of the Sixth Prince, so he shared all his experience with him.
Du Feng: "Oh, Your Highness, when the time comes, you should also bring some doctors and medicinal herbs. People are prone to illness after the flood. There must not be many medicinal herbs left over after the disaster."
King Jing frowned, "We have to travel light and get there quickly. How slow will it be to carry the herbs?"
Sun Jin couldn't help but said, "Just now the Crown Princess reminded us to prepare some medicine to treat the epidemic."
Du Feng nodded approvingly, "Indeed, although epidemics are rare, and there has only been one serious outbreak in the history of the Chu State, we must not take it lightly."
After hearing this, King Jing reluctantly said, "Then take some preventive pills with you."
The crowd discussed some other things.
Three days later, Prince Jing led his men to the south.
The road was very noisy that day. Lin Qingning happened to be out of the palace. On the upper floor of the clinic, she saw Prince Jing riding his horse in high spirits.
You must know that apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor's only biological son is Prince Jing.
Compared to fighting a war, disaster relief and flood control are actually easier tasks.
If you do it well, you will get credit.
It's not as dangerous as fighting a war.
Lin Qingning murmured, "Prince Jing is a little impatient for success. I don't know if he can do this well."
Lin Qingning didn't care whether Prince Jing could get the credit.
She just hoped that Prince Jing could do a good job, which would also relieve the worries on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.
Otherwise, if the southern part of the Great Chu State riots, the Great Chu Army on the southern front will not be able to keep up with the food and grass supply...
What I fear most is that Xiliang will launch another sneak attack at this time.
If that happens, Jing Yu and the others will be in danger.
Wei Shuhe: "As long as Prince Jing provides disaster relief according to normal procedures and there is no epidemic, there shouldn't be any major problems."
It's impossible that Prince Jing would do something at this critical moment, right?
Lin Qingning frowned, "I reminded Prince Jing to bring some medicine to treat the epidemic, but he didn't seem to care."
"No, I have to find someone to ask what medicines he took when he left."
Wei Shuhe: "Master taught me a prescription for curing epidemics, but it requires some special herbs."
Lin Qingning: "Write down the herbs you need first. I'll have someone prepare them and you can start making them first."
Wei Shuhe: "Okay."
Lin Qingning immediately returned to the East Palace with her bulging belly and asked someone to call Luo Shui.
"Luo Shui, can you find out what medicinal herbs Prince Jing brought with him, and how many doctors he had?"
Luo Shui: "I will check it out right away."
Luo Shui was very efficient. He immediately brought the list of medicinal herbs and the list of doctors that Prince Jing had taken with him.
Lin Qingning looked at the list, which was just some daily medicines for bruises, injuries and fever.
And the doctor only brought two.
She was so angry that she laughed.
Lin Qingning: "Just bringing these herbs is of no use at all."
Luo Shui: "It is said that Minister Du also asked him to bring more medicinal herbs and doctors, but King Jing said to bring more supplies and food. The people have suffered from the disaster and they care more about this."
"If it's a minor illness, just hold on. If it's a serious illness, an epidemic won't happen so easily."
Lin Qingning: "Prince Jing is eager to make achievements. He shouldn't be such a careless person."
"However, although the possibility of an epidemic is very low, there is still a human factor involved."
She did not forget that there was another person in Xiliang or the Western Regions who had used the face-changing technique on Shen Ruoying.
He is most likely the junior fellow apprentice of Doctor Bai.
If it was really him, he would know that this time letting the epidemic break out among the people of Da Chu would be a perfect opportunity!
Just at this time, Wei Shuhe had someone bring the list of required medicinal materials. Lin Qingning held the list and immediately stood up and said:
"Banxia, put on some makeup for me. I want to go to the palace to see the emperor."
During this period of time, perhaps due to the bad weather, the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace was much calmer.
She didn't know whether she had given up completely and planned to enjoy her retirement.
Or he will look for opportunities in the future to continue to stuff the Cui family members into the prince's backyard.
Lin Qingning was wearing the Crown Princess's court dress and heavy makeup, and when she met Emperor Minghe, she stunned the emperor for a moment.
"Qing Ning, why are you here? If there's something, just let someone pass it on."
Lin Qingning is now more than five months pregnant, but she is still agile. However, Emperor Minghe is more tolerant of his daughter-in-law.
He knew how much the Crown Prince cared about the Crown Princess.
Lin Qingning bowed and presented the list of medicinal herbs and doctors that Prince Jing had brought with him.
Lin Qingning apologized first, "Father, your daughter-in-law investigated this list privately. I apologize to you first."
"But my daughter-in-law is really worried about floods and droughts in this area. There may be epidemics. I've seen this in medical books before. This is the most likely situation to happen."
She expressed all her concerns.
Before they fell, they suspected that the person who knew the face-changing technique was Doctor Bai's junior fellow apprentice.
Emperor Minghe: "Qingning, what do you think we should do?"
Lin Qingning: "I will ask Shu He to help me prepare pills for the epidemic, and then mobilize doctors from all over the capital to prepare these pills. Just in case of emergency."
"Father, if there is any news coming back from the south, immediately have someone reliable deliver the first batch of pills. At the same time, hurry up and prepare the second and third batches!"
"Of course, if there is no epidemic after Prince Jing and his men go to the south, then it would be a precautionary measure."
Emperor Minghe nodded, "Okay, I will obey you."
This incident sounds too unbelievable because many people think that there is no need to be so nervous about something that has not happened yet.
But in fact, Lin Qingning's worries were not wrong.
There are indeed people who know that Southern Xinjiang has been beaten by Da Chu and has no power to fight back. At this critical moment, as long as Da Chu gets into trouble...
No epidemic broke out?
Then let’s have an artificial outbreak!
However, for the time being, no one in the capital of Da Chu knows about this.
When the empress dowager heard that the emperor had actually listened to Lin Qingning's advice and mobilized the entire country to prepare those epidemic pills.
She sneered and said, "It's a waste of money and time, it's really ridiculous!"
"She's just a crown princess, but she wants to interfere in government affairs. If she really becomes the queen, will she still rule the country from behind the curtain?"
The Queen Mother would never let go of this opportunity.
A few days later, when Emperor Minghe was in court, the censors began to impeach the Crown Princess for interfering in state affairs.
"The Crown Princess is just a woman, and she's pregnant. She should just stay in the East Palace and wait for the birth. How can she investigate what Prince Jing brought with him?"
"That's true. The Crown Princess is of humble origin, and indeed has little experience and is timid. How can she exaggerate something just because it hasn't happened yet?"
"That's right, how can an epidemic happen so easily?"
Here there are censors appointed by the Queen Mother, as well as people from Prince Jing's faction.
They knew that the prince was excellent and impeccable.
The Crown Princess had been very cautious in her words and actions before and had been very low-key, but this time she had actually brought the reason for the crusade directly to them. It would be strange if they let her go!
After hearing this, Ouyang Rui frowned and said, "My dear ministers, if an epidemic really happens, what will you say?"
Imperial Censor: “Hasn’t this happened yet?”
Ouyang Rui: "The Crown Princess cares about the people. She is just preparing for a rainy day. What's wrong with that?"
Cen Jue also said: "My dear ministers, you should know how important this flood in the south is to the Great Chu. If this matter is not handled properly, it will affect the war situation in the southern border."
"Or are some of you deliberately hoping that disaster relief efforts in the South will go awry? Are you spies sent by the enemy country?"
After these words were spoken, the expressions of those imperial censors changed completely.
"Master Cen, you are slandering us! We are all working diligently for the Great Chu, how could we be spies?"
"That's right. We just don't want to see the Crown Princess waste so much money and manpower. Let all the doctors in the capital be busy making pills. What if they can't be used?"
"that is!"
As everyone talked, they seemed to find their confidence.
After all, war requires money, and disaster relief requires money.
The medicinal materials required for the pills that the Crown Princess mentioned are very expensive, and it is also a huge expense.
The most important thing is that everyone's topic revolved around how the Crown Princess shouldn't interfere in government affairs and shouldn't privately investigate Prince Jing's disaster relief efforts.
Ouyang Rui, Cen Jue and others frowned fiercely.
They all realized that the other side didn't really care whether an epidemic would occur or not.
Instead, he wanted to take advantage of the Crown Prince's absence to attack the Crown Princess!
"Okay, shut up!" Emperor Minghe finally spoke.
He swept his calm gaze over the arguing ministers, and took note in his mind who were Lao Liu's men.
Who is the Queen Mother's man?
Everyone's eyes fell on Emperor Minghe.
I want to see how he judges this matter!
