    In the past, in front of several cabinet college students, Zhu Houzhao could only be taught, but now seeing Xie Qian being overwhelmed by his own words, he had nothing to say to refute

    Zhu Houzhao suddenly became energetic. Just looking at Xie Qian and others, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. These people seemed difficult to place.

    After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said: "What can you do?"

    Xie Qian said casually: "I and others can provide disaster relief."

    "" Zhu Houzhao frowned, scanned the dozen or so people with his eyes, and said: "You go and wash the clothes. Many students' clothes are smelly. Although there are women who usually help wash them, they can't do it."  You also have to take care of your children to help the men do things."

    "What?" Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, and then became a little angry. He thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was humiliating him, so he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, I am"

    "Should you wash it or not? It's okay if you don't wash it. You can only get one rice ball for one meal, two meals a day, and you can't live in a shed, you have to live outside." Zhu Houzhao didn't give them the slightest chance to refute.

    Xie Qian: ""

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Came here to provide disaster relief, and now he's doing your laundry?

    But Shen Wen and others behind him nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay, His Highness has given the order. That's it. It's an emergency."

    Having found their son, Shen Wen and others felt at ease.

    Xie Qian still wanted to say something, but Zhu Houzhao had already snatched the sack from Fang Jifan's hand, and casually put the sack on his shoulder, saying: "Look carefully, there are no idle people here."  Yes! It¡¯s good that I can carry the stone and let you wash the clothes. Why don¡¯t you come and try this stone too?¡±

    ""

    Xie Qian looked at the calm sack and finally fell silent.

    People are under the eaves

    So a dozen people were assigned to the well and given needles and thread. Their tasks were to wash and sew clothes. They had three meals a day, one rice ball in the morning and two at noon and evening, which could barely fill their stomachs.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that there are too many women at the well.

    Some women couldn't stand it. When they saw an official squinting his eyes, which were almost cross-eyed, and still couldn't pass the needle, a woman said in a Shanxi accent: "That's not how you wear it, that's not how you wear it."  Yes, comeI'll teach you."

    Not only learning to thread a needle, sewing clothes is also a skill. Xie Qian sat cross-legged, took the thread, put it in his mouth and sipped it. This was already the third day. He threaded the needle familiarly, and then tied the thread.  After finishing the work, he sighed with emotion while sewing the clothes: "Hey, look at these young people, they are so rough and careless. There are so many tears in this clothes, and there are still blood stains here. God knows where they were scratched."  It's broken. Hey I remember back then"

    "Thank you, Mr. Xie, why don't you just rest while the subordinates come and sew."

    Xie Qian¡¯s face turned red: ¡°Isn¡¯t that why you can¡¯t just eat hard work?¡±

    Everyone was silent. Shen Wen on one side was beating the wet clothes hard with a mallet, panting from exhaustion.

    During these three days, everyone was unconvinced at first, especially Xie Qian.

    But later on, he gradually became convinced. His Royal Highness actually carried the stones himself. Even Fang Jifan, who had a brain disease, even sat in the mud and counted.  The rest of the people are not idle, and most of their work is menial work. No one here takes themselves seriously.

    Those scholars were all crawling around in the mud. They had to burn stoves and distribute food in the early morning. They had to carry stones in the morning. At noon, they found a place on the ground to lie down and rest. They were all snoring loudly.

    In this way, Xie Qian knew that he had been taken care of.

    Although it¡¯s not decent to sew and wash clothes, they don¡¯t have the ability to go up to the causeway to move rocks, so they can just work in peace.

    The women near the well taught them many sewing and washing skills, and they became familiar with them after repeated visits. For example, Xie Qian used the back stitch method to sew clothes, and after sewing, they were strong!

    He bit the thread and tore it off, then put his hand into his tongue and twisted it, soaked some spit, smoothed the ends of the thread, and said: "Now I know that when people are old, their eyesight is not good, it's time to go  Get a mirror, the kind that Xishan gave to the Empress Dowager."

    Shen Wen was so happy that he patted his clothes with a mallet. He was soaked all over, and he didn't know if it was sweat or the splashing well water. At the same time, he gave the patted clothes to Chen Xin, the young minister of Dali Temple.

    Chen Xin wrung out all the clothes and was panting, like an old cow that had been plowed in the fields, his face was red from holding back.

    At this time, Shen Wen will look around to see if there is any whereabouts of his son Shen Ao, I found it this time, and I saw him behind me, more than ten feet away, with his back to me, at the door of a house, whispering something!

    Shen Wen felt so happy in his heart, and said: "It's not easy, it's really not easy. There is no post-disaster scene here. This is a paradise, where chickens and dogs can hear each other, and they are so happy here that they don't want to go back to the capital."

    Xie Qian remained silent, and Chen Xin said with a smile: "My son can also treat people. Yesterday, someone came to the door in person to thank him."

    After finally washing hundreds of pieces of clothes, Shen Wen, Chen Xin and others carried buckets, found a high place, set up bamboo poles, and went to dry the clothes.

    Xie Qian received the rice ball at noon. He was a senior man and naturally had a separate shed. At this time, although he was so tired that his back ached, he could sit back in the shed. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table.  On the slips of paper, there were balls of waste paper.

    He tried several times to write a memorial, but he was very dissatisfied every time. When he wrote it for the first time, he complained a lot. At that time, he was quite disappointed with His Highness, thinking that His Highness was too ridiculous and nonsensical.

    But the next day, he felt that what he wrote was wrong, so he calmed down and wrote another manuscript, praising His Royal Highness for loving the people, and that Xishan Academy ventured into Lingqiu County. This was benevolent government.  But he started to highlight the important points. Although he praised him, he scolded the prince and Xishan Academy severely.

    How could the prince take such a risk if the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace? This is the crown prince, and this is absolutely unacceptable.

    Of course, he was not polite to Xishan Academy, and also scolded him. A group of scholars did not do their job properly and followed Fang Jifan to fool around. Fang Jifan was rescuing disasters and did not inform the palace and the government in advance. This was really a taboo. If Xishan Academy was not an academy planned and built by the prince, veteran minister  One might even think that Xishan Academy has ulterior motives and is trying to win people's hearts.

    The result well, last night, he tore up this memorial again.

    And today, he had no choice but to write again, took a deep breath, and wrote: "I entered Lingqiu County on orders, in the name of disaster relief and hunting down thieves, in the name of searching for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even Lingqiu, this place is a well.  Orderly, well-organized, the Crown Prince and Uncle Xin Xin"

    This time, he praised the prince fiercely. He thought that it was wrong for the prince to do this. He should not come to Lingqiu rashly. As a prince, he should not be so trivial about his own safety. But when he came down, it was for the prince in Lingqiu.  I highly appreciate what Qiu County has done.

    ¡°His Royal Highness took the lead, and the soldiers and civilians were all scrambling. Now the epidemic has been controlled and the disaster has been alleviated This is all the credit of His Royal Highness.

    Although Uncle Xin Xin suffered from brain disease, he still helped from the side. The rest of the staff went deep into the army and civilians to help the people nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians were treated

    These compliments all come from the bottom of my heart. Xie Qian is not blind. Although he could not accept the behavior of the prince and Xin Xinbo at first, he saw that the place was in good order, that the victims were living and working in peace and contentment after the disaster, and that there were many students and people.  Eating and sleeping together, being warm and intimate with each other, Xie Qian felt that if he still had any criticism, it was really nothing.

    "His Royal Highness the Prince is so virtuous that no one can match him. I have been here for three days and have been filled with emotion when I saw this situation" At the end of the memorial, he still added this sentence. The word virtuous was something he was a little uncomfortable with.  Nice to write.

    Because today¡¯s scholars pay most attention to character, and they also hold officials to this standard. As a cabinet bachelor, praising the prince so solemnly is actually quite a bit of flattery, but in the end, he still  Added this sentence.

    After finishing writing, Xie Qian seemed to be relieved and exhaled. Then he gently put down the pen and collected the memorial. Then he handed the memorial to the people in the grain team and asked them to take it out.

    After taking a nap at noon, another batch of clothes was delivered. Xie Qian went to the well as usual and heard Shen Wen and others talking: "Your Highness is really amazing. He transported more than 20 bags of stones to the river today."  On the embankment, when I saw Your Highness, your shoulders were all worn out."

    "Yes, yes, that Hu Kaishan only transported more than seventy bags. Our Highness is still very good."

    Everyone nodded again.

    This is actually a certain kind of psychology. Everyone has never been optimistic about His Highness the Crown Prince. Now His Highness the Crown Prince can transport more than twenty bags. Even if others transport three times as much as he does, everyone still recognizes it and appreciates the Crown Prince very much.  add.

    This is just like Fang Jifan. Everyone who interacts with him has already acquiesced that he is a human scum, but once they come into contact, hey, although this guy has eyes above his head, he will contradict you from time to time, and he can't spit out ivory from his mouth, but  After all, he didn¡¯t greet all the women in your family in a frothy manner. Uncle Xin Xin is pretty good too.  Tsk tsk the young man has a bright future.

    "Mr. Xie, have you written the memorial?" Shen Wen thought of something and looked at Xie Qian eagerly.

    Xie Qian felt a little ashamed when he thought of the compliments he had given to the prince and Xishan Academy. Although he felt that these compliments were meaningful and came from the bottom of his heart.  The name is straight.

    What does it mean to be honest? It means that no matter what, you have to have the courage to give advice to His Majesty and the Crown Prince. You have to find something wrong with whatever Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have done, and then plausibly ask Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to correct it, but they don¡¯t listen.  Yours is a foolish king and you are acting arbitrarily.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)nbsp; "Mr. Xie, have you written the memorial?"
