Chapter 66 Digging a Hole
At this time, Luo Yunxuan stood up again and said sincerely: "The Crown Prince is a genius. He can actually come up with a plan to dig a tributary. He is really capable. In my humble opinion, it is better to let the Crown Prince solve the drought. It will also let the people of the world see that our Great Sheng Dynasty's Crown Prince is not much inferior to our father."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the civil and military officials changed slightly.
Luo Yunxuan's words sounded like he was praising the prince, but in fact he was deliberately pushing the prince towards Feng Jianlang's side.
Especially the last sentence, which actually compares the prince and the emperor. Isn't this trying to sow discord between the father and son? !
Someone secretly went to see the emperor's expression.
The emperor did not react much, and did not seem to take the second prince's last words to heart. He waved his hand and issued an order immediately.
"The Second Prince is right. The disaster relief work will be fully entrusted to the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan cupped his hands and replied, "I obey your order!"
After the court session ended, civil and military officials walked out of the Weiyang Palace in groups of three or five.
Luo Yunxuan was stopped by Luo Yechen.
Luo Yechen said unhappily, "Second Brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you speak for the prince just now?"
Luo Yunxuan smiled slightly: "Brother, the prince is our brother, of course I have to speak for him."
"Don't try to play tricks on me! What brother or no brother? Ever since the day he stole my position as crown prince, I have no longer considered him a brother!"
Luo Yunxuan put away his smile and lowered his voice: "Brother, please be careful with your words!"
Luo Yechen said disdainfully: "We grew up together, don't I know your thoughts? You pretend to be righteous, but in fact, you have more evil thoughts than anyone else. You and I don't want the third brother to be the crown prince. I don't understand, if you don't want the third brother to be the crown prince, why are you still speaking for him?"
Luo Yunxuan didn't want to continue to tangle with this stupid elder brother, so he said gently: "I don't understand what elder brother said. I have something else to do. I'll leave first. Goodbye."
After saying this, he floated away.
Luo Yechen clicked his tongue at his back: "Hypocrite!"
He couldn't understand Luo Yunxuan's intention, so he simply stopped thinking about it and went straight to ask his staff.
As the eldest prince, he has many talented people under his command, including some with quick minds.
After listening to his whole story, the staff came to a conclusion after a little thought.
"The Second Prince is deliberately setting a trap for the Crown Prince."
Luo Yechen became interested: "Oh?"
"The drought in the south is very serious this time, but the court is unable to allocate funds for disaster relief. However, if it is left alone, it will surely cause public resentment. Now the prince has taken on this hot potato. If he cannot solve the problem perfectly, he will not only be punished by the emperor in the future, but also bear the curse of the people. If he is not careful, he may not even be able to keep his position as the prince."
Luo Yechen's eyes lit up.
He slapped his thigh and laughed excitedly, "So that's how it is! The second brother is indeed the most cunning one among our brothers. Only he can think of such a dirty trick!"
He began to expect that the prince would be demoted and scolded for failing to solve the drought.
If the third son really lost his position as crown prince, his father would definitely give priority to him as the eldest son when appointing another crown prince.
When he thought of this, Luo Yechen felt hot in his heart.
In the study room of Minguang Palace.
The Prince's Grand Tutor shook his white beard and asked tremblingly, "Your Highness, do you have any solution to the drought in the four southern counties?"
I spent ten minutes thinking about how to ask for a ticket. It was so difficult for me.
