Chapter 564 Returning to Beijing to Meet the Emperor



Back in Wuji Town, Inspector Yu Shi met Nini, the only survivor of the earthquake.

The little girl looked a little listless, her face was pale and her eyes were red and swollen, it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

The woman who was taking care of the child wiped her tears and said, "The child has been making a fuss about looking for his parents. What a sin."

"Is your name Nini?" Seeing a little girl who was about the same age as his own daughter, Supervisor Yu Shi's heart softened when he thought of the little girl's parents who had both passed away.

The little girl looked at Inspector Yu Shi timidly, nodded, and her eyes like black grapes stared straight at the door.

"What are you looking at?"

The little girl pursed her lips and finally said, "I'm waiting for my handsome brother."

Supervisor Yu Shi was stunned.

The little girl added: "The handsome brother hugged me..."

The inspector Yu Shi then connected his handsome brother with the King of Yan.

Think about the face of the King of Yan. He is indeed pretty, but my brother——

Supervisor Yu Shi touched his chin, which had not yet grown a beard, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He no longer had any doubts about what Minister Zhao said about the Prince of Yan personally rescuing the little girl.

Looking at the poor and lovely little girl, Supervisor Yu Shi fell silent.

This child was the only survivor left in the town at that time, and was rescued by the King of Yan at the risk of his own life...

The young inspector Yu Shi had an unprecedentedly favorable impression of Yu Jin.

That night, the light in Inspector Yu Shi's room was on all night. He wrote a thick report, sealed it in an envelope, and sent it to the capital at full speed.

After Emperor Jingming received the report from Minister Zhao, he finally waited for the reports from Supervisor Yu Shi and Xiao Lezi respectively. Comparing the two, he found that they were almost the same as Minister Zhao's report.

After a long pause, Emperor Jingming ordered Pan Hai: "Pass on my order to summon the Crown Prince, Prince of Yan, and Zhao Ruqing, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and others back to the capital to see the Emperor."

"yes."

Emperor Jingming thought of something and added, "Oh, by the way, remind the Prince of Yan to bring General Xiaotian with him to the palace."

Pan Hai immediately passed on the order.

It was two days later that the Crown Prince and his companions received the imperial edict. By the time they returned to the capital, most of May had already passed.

Yu Jin glanced in the direction of Prince Yan's mansion. Although he was eager to return home, he had to follow the crowd into the palace first.

"Send the two children back to the palace first, tell the princess that I'm back, go to the palace to see my father and then go home immediately." Yu Jin instructed Long Dan.

Go home... just saying these two words sounded as sweet as honey and filled his heart with joy.

I just came back after being away for so long, and I don’t know what the old man has to say that requires him to be so anxious.

Because of the delay in meeting his daughter-in-law, Emperor Jingming instantly changed from an emperor to an old man in Yu Jin's heart.

Erniu was equally unhappy.

After being away from home for a long time, I miss the doghouse, the mistress, halved beef, braised pork elbow, steamed meat...

After thinking about it for a long time, Da Gou became even more unhappy, and followed Yu Jin into the palace listlessly.

The eunuch outside Yu's study saw that everyone had arrived and hurried to report it.

Emperor Jingming was already waiting impatiently in Yu's study and immediately called someone in.

Many people rushed into Yu's study room at once, and the first person Emperor Jingming saw was the young man who was as beautiful as a pearl and jade.

It’s not because he is in the front, but because no matter how many people are in front of him, they cannot overshadow his brilliance.

There are always some people in this world who, even if they are standing silently in the crowd, still stand out like a crane among chickens and can be seen at a glance.

Emperor Jingming lowered his eyes and saw a large dog with smooth fur.

Uh, you are a little fat——

As soon as this thought flashed through Emperor Jingming's mind, he heard a voice of greeting.

"No need to be polite."

Emperor Jingming then looked at the Crown Prince, and was immediately gloomy when he saw that he was even fatter than when he left the capital.

Going to disaster relief and actually getting fat? It's obvious that this idiot didn't contribute much!

Emperor Jingming had a rough idea of ​​how the crown prince behaved outside after reading the reports from Minister Zhao, Supervisor Yu Shi and Xiao Lezi.

Of course, none of these three dared to say anything bad about the prince, and some even praised him a few times.

But even with this brief compliment, what was there that Emperor Jingming didn't understand?

The prince went to comfort the disaster victims on his behalf. If he performed well, wouldn't the prince be praised to the heavens in the report?

This good-for-nothing!

Emperor Jingming's sudden cold expression made Minister Zhao a little puzzled.

It's said that even if there is no credit for this trip, at least I have worked hard. What does the emperor mean by this?

I see, it must be because they think the disaster relief money has been overspent!

Thinking of this, Minister Zhao scolded the prince again in his heart.

Emperor Jingming looked at Minister Zhao and his expression softened. "Thank you for your hard work, my dear Minister Zhao."

Minister Zhao immediately said, "It is my duty to share your worries."

"I heard that Lord Zhao is very hands-on, which comforts me. If all the ministers in the court were like Lord Zhao, I would be able to rest easy."

Minister Zhao spoke humbly, but his heart was already blossoming with joy. He only hoped that the Emperor would praise him again in front of all the civil and military officials at the court tomorrow morning, and then he would have no regrets.

After praising Minister Zhao, Emperor Jingming looked at Yu Jin and said, "Seventh Brother, you did a great job this time. Saving more than a thousand people is a great merit. You have lived up to my expectations..."

The prince felt sad when he heard this.

It was clearly Erniu's credit, so how come it all belonged to Laoqi alone?

In the end, there was still a bit of rationality left in the prince, which stopped him from revealing in front of these people that Minister Zhao had deceived the emperor.

Humph, he will tell his father secretly later!

Yu Jin said calmly, "Father, you are right. I just did what I wanted to do without thinking about whether it was a good deed or not."

"Do what you want?" Emperor Jingming was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "It's better to do what you want, it's better to do what you want."

Pan Hai took a deep look at Yu Jin and thought: It seems that the Prince of Yan has become more important in the emperor's heart. I wonder what good fortune the Prince of Yan will have in the future...

Pan Hai did not dare to think too deeply about it, but secretly made up his mind to try his best to show kindness to King Yan in the future, at least there would be no harm.

Although Emperor Jingming was very satisfied with Yu Jin's performance on this trip, he was his son after all, so he couldn't praise him too much, so he turned his attention to Erniu.

"Is this the General Xiaotian whom I honored in my early years?"

When Erniu heard this, he immediately stood up.

Pan Hai hurriedly stood in front of Emperor Jingming.

"Pan Hai, please step back." Emperor Jingming said indifferently.

How could a magical dog that can predict danger and find survivors of earthquakes bite people like a mad dog?

If such a divine dog bites someone, there must be a reason.

Yu Jin didn't expect Emperor Jingming to be so open-minded. Worried that he might have misunderstood, he quickly explained, "Father, Erniu is showing you the badge on its neck."

Emperor Jingming looked carefully and saw a copper plate between the big dog's neck, with some words faintly written on it.

When Erniu saw that Emperor Jingming had looked at it, his two front paws dropped back to the ground.

Emperor Jingming was immediately delighted: "The General Xiaotian I appointed is indeed a divine dog, but his collar is a little small. I will replace it for you later."

Well, you are indeed a little fat. The bronze medal hanging around your neck is almost invisible...
