Chapter 144 Reward
Now that the prince's reputation among the people is on the rise, the prince's tutor feels both gratified and ashamed.
He sighed and said, "Your Highness, I was foolish and underestimated your ability."
Luo Qinghan: "Teacher, I am just lucky, not really capable. Please don't take this little thing to heart. Just follow your instructions in the past."
The Crown Prince's Grand Tutor felt quite relieved by these words, and he smiled.
"Your Highness has made great contributions this time, and you will definitely be rewarded. Your Highness, please go to the palace quickly. The Emperor and the ministers are waiting for you in the meeting hall."
Hearing this, Luo Qinghan remembered what his father said before he left. He said that if the prince could pray for rain, he would go out of the palace to greet him personally when the prince returned to the palace.
But at this moment, the emperor was still sitting in the council hall, and he must have long forgotten the agreement with his son.
If it had been in the past, if his father had clearly promised to go out of the palace to pick him up but didn't come, he would probably have been very disappointed.
But now, his heart was extremely calm.
He thought a lot along the way.
Since family affection cannot coexist with power, and since both of these things are cold and ruthless to him, why doesn't he abandon the useless family affection and seize the power that is more beneficial to him?
After bidding farewell to his teacher, Luo Qinghan boarded the carriage again.
The convoy continued to move towards the palace.
The carriage drove into the palace gate, passed through the palaces, and finally stopped in front of the meeting hall.
The prince got out of the car and walked slowly up the stairs.
Whenever he walked this road before, he always felt numb, but now he had a completely different feeling than before.
He looked up at the council hall at the end in front of him. He seemed to hear the cheers of thousands of people kneeling in worship, and he also seemed to hear Xiao Xixi's voice.
She is saying—
You will definitely be a good emperor in the future.
They all had high hopes for him.
These high hopes are a reliable backing and the force that pushes him forward.
His steps became more and more firm.
The position of crown prince is already his. Not only the position of crown prince, but also the throne of the emperor will be his.
No matter who comes to grab it, he will not make any concessions!
Luo Qinghan walked into the meeting hall with firm steps.
In the council hall, cabinet ministers and princes all turned around to look at him.
Luo Qinghan seemed not to notice the various gazes cast upon him. He walked forward steadily and bowed deeply to the man sitting on a high seat in front of him.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and have brought rain to the four southern counties. The drought has finally ended!"
The emperor's mood was extremely complicated at this time.
What he didn't dare to do was accomplished by the prince.
Does this prove that he is really old?
He smiled and said, "Prince, please get up quickly. The drought in the four southern counties was relieved because of your contribution. I must reward you greatly. Tell me, what do you want?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly, "I have no worries about food and clothing, so I don't want anything. If you must give me something, please give me the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Justice. This time when I went south, I met many local officials and saw the dark side of the officialdom that I had never seen before. I want to clean up the officialdom so that you can better govern the country."
The emperor was pleased and said, "You have really grown up and know how to share my worries. I have already planned this matter. Even if you don't say it, I will assign you a task. Since you took the initiative to ask for it, I will hand over the Ministry of Justice to you today. When you get the hang of it, I will consider handing over the Ministry of Personnel to you as well."
Luo Qinghan bowed his head in thanks.
"Your Highness will do your best to live up to your grace!"
