This made Li Er have no choice but to re-evaluate his Crown Prince. Not only was he talented, but he also had extraordinary knowledge!
Fortunately, with Wei Zheng's successful example, Li Er no longer had to worry about food for disaster relief.
He immediately appointed Hejian King Li Xiaogong as the general manager of Hedong Road's army and led all matters to the disaster relief…
After leaving the court, Hejian King Li Xiaogong was left alone and went to the royal study.
Hejian King Li Xiaogong guessed that Li Er wanted to whisper to him. After entering the royal study, he was the first to ask.
"Your Majesty, is there something you want to tell me?”
Hedong Road suffered a severe frost and snow disaster. Li Xiaogong was appointed as the general manager of Hedong Road's army. He was definitely not only going to provide disaster relief, but also to consider a series of political affairs such as restoring agriculture.
It was normal for Li Er to explain.
However…
Li Er was different from usual. He looked at Li Xiaogong with a very complicated expression and muttered.
" Before we set off, we should go to the Eastern Palace and ask the Crown Prince if he has any good ideas…"
Li Xiaogong was speechless.
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was stunned!
In an instant, many thoughts popped up in Li Xiaogong's mind.
Could this be Li Er's test?
As a general, Li Xiaogong had followed Li Er since King Qin's Mansion. His loyalty was unquestionable.
The most important thing was that he had always been an unwavering member of the Imperial Party!
What did Li Er mean by that?
"Plop!"
Li Xiaogong knelt on the ground and looked at Li Er to express his loyalty!
"Your Majesty, I, Li Xiaogong, swear my loyalty to Your Majesty and will never be involved in the struggle for the throne!”
Seeing Li Xiaogong's reaction, Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
How could he not know Li Xiaogong's loyalty?
Recalling what he had just said, it was indeed easy to misunderstand.
At this moment, Li Er suddenly missed Wei Zheng.
That old fellow understood him. As long as he said he was going to the Eastern Palace, he would know what he meant.
Li Er looked at Li Xiaogong who was kneeling on the ground and waved his hand.
"Get up!"
"I have no intention of suspecting that you are involved in the struggle for the throne…"
"I just want you to make a trip to the Eastern Palace and have a good chat with the Crown Prince. Maybe it will be of help to you on this trip…"
Li Xiaogong stood up from the ground, but he still had a puzzled expression.
Seeing this, Li Er could only remind him.
"Yesterday, Wei Zheng paid a visit to the Crown Prince. That night, he managed to raise 600,000 dan of grain…"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaogong slapped his forehead and came to a realization.
"I understand!"
"This humble subject will go to the Eastern Palace to pay a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Li Er heaved a sigh of relief.
"Go!"
"Don't say that Zhen asked you to find the Crown Prince. Just say that Wei Zheng asked you to come.”
"Zhen will wait for you in the royal study…"
Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment before nodding.
"I understand!"
"This lowly subject shall take his leave…"
Wei Zheng inexplicably took the blame.
On the way to the Eastern Palace, Li Xiaogong felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that Li Er wanted to ask Crown Prince Li Chengqian about Hedong Road, but he couldn't show his face, so he asked him to run errands as a middleman?
Li Xiaogong, who understood, was still a little confused.
When did Li Er value Crown Prince Li Chengqian so much?
He even specially asked him to ask the other party for a way to relieve the disaster?
However, when he thought of Li Er's hint, Li Xiaogong quickened his pace.
Even Wei Zheng went to the Crown Prince Li Chengqian to ask for a good plan, and on the same day, he managed to gather food for the disaster relief.
Just based on this point, it was enough to see Crown Prince Li Chengqian's ability.
It was not embarrassing at all for him to go and ask for advice.
Soon, Li Xiaogong arrived at the Eastern Palace.
He did not have the privilege of Wei Zheng, nor did he have the face of Li Er. He could only respectfully wait outside the hall for the palace servant to report.
"Hejian King Li Xiaogong?"
Li Chengqian, who was reading a biography with Wu Meiniang in his arms, was somewhat puzzled.
Noble figures like this rarely had any contact with the Eastern Palace, just to avoid arousing suspicion.
Li Xiaogong's personal visit indeed surprised Li Chengqian.
"King Hejian, please come in!"
Li Chengqian instructed.
Wu Meiniang also stood up and retreated to the side. A palace maid also went to brew tea.
Soon, Li Xiaogong walked into the hall with his head lowered.
"Your humble subject Li Xiaogong greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
Li Chengqian waved his hand.
"King Hejian, you're welcome!"
"I wonder why King Hejian is here?”
At the same time, Li Chengqian was also calculating the purpose of the other party coming to find him.
Li Chengqian did not believe that he was here to pay his respects!
At least the noble generals in the court were able to live until now because they were all smart people. They knew that only loyal Li Er could enjoy eternal wealth.
Li Xiaogong did not waste any time. He looked at Li Chengqian and went straight to the point.
"Then this lowly subject will be straightforward…"
"During the morning court session, His Majesty had just appointed me as the general manager of the Hedong Road army. I went to the Hedong Road to provide disaster relief and was in charge of local affairs!”
"Before we set off, this humble subject would like to ask Your Highness if there is any good plan to help with disaster relief?”
Seeing Li Chengqian's strange expression, Li Xiaogong hurriedly added.
"It was Lord Wei Zheng who introduced me…"
Li Chengqian was speechless.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately understood what was going on!
What kind of place did he think he was in?
What kind of acquaintance was this?
Wei Zheng, who had left the capital for a long time, inexplicably carried a big pot on his back.
