The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Prince Rong choked for a long time and said: "I have investigated, but after all, the incident happened in the harem. Even though I am the prince, there are many inconveniences, and nothing has been found."

Ouyang Sheng looked at him with helplessness on his face: "Your Highness, if you think about it carefully, even you are in a lot of inconvenience, wouldn't it be even more inconvenient for us foreign ministers? It's not that we don't help, it's that we can't help. . To put it bluntly, if the person who committed the crime this time was His Highness, we could still go to the Emperor to intercede for you; but the person who committed the crime was Concubine Li, the Emperor's concubine, and we, the ministers, would go and intercede for the Concubine. , what is this? Wouldn’t this make the emperor even more angry? "

Ouyang Sheng's words were reasonable and well-founded. King Rong could not refute them, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

Ouyang Sheng looked at his young but hunched back and couldn't bear it, so he stopped him: "Your Highness, Concubine Li is your mother-in-law. No matter whether she really made a mistake or was wronged, please beg me on your knees." Your Majesty, you should do everything, but you should not go too far. You know better than I do about the affairs in the palace. There is never any right or wrong. As long as you make meritorious deeds and make the Emperor look at you with admiration, even if Concubine Li has committed a crime If you have committed a heinous crime, the emperor will also look at your face and be more generous, don't you think so?"

He understands the truth, but where can he perform meritorious service? If he had this ability, he would have become the prince long ago. How could he be as useless as he is now? King Rong smiled bitterly for a while, and suddenly felt "blessed to the soul". He turned around and knelt down in front of Ouyang Sheng: "Please teach me, Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Sheng was quite surprised and turned aside: "Your Highness, I cannot bear your obeisance."

Zhang Chengxuan quickly stepped forward and helped King Rong stand up: "Your Highness, if you do this, then we all have to kneel down to speak."

King Rong slumped down and refused to get up, looking at Ouyang Sheng longingly.

Ouyang Sheng tilted his head and asked King Pingnan and Duke Cheng Guo for their opinions.

King Pingnan and Duke Cheng Guo thought for a moment and nodded slightly at him. Although King Rong is useless, he is at least humble and kind-hearted. It is better to give him a helping hand. Whether he can seize the opportunity or not depends on his luck.

Ouyang Sheng went to see Zhang Chengxuan again, and Zhang Chengxuan also nodded and had no objection. Ouyang Sheng then said to Prince Rong: "The flooding in the Yellow River has always been a concern for the Emperor. Your Highness might as well ask for orders to go to the Yellow River to control the water. If you make a great contribution through this, not only will the matter of Concubine Li be solved, but your Highness's image in the eyes of the Emperor will also be changed." "

Prince Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, how can I control water?"

Ouyang Sheng said: "Your Highness can't do it now, but that doesn't mean he won't do it in the future. As long as you study hard and work hard, and know people well and make good use of them, you will definitely win over the Yellow River floods."

After all, Prince Rong was not stupid at all, and he finally understood the meaning of Ouyang Sheng's words: "I would also like to ask the prince to help people to the end and recommend an expert in water control."

Ouyang Shengxu gave him a hand: "Your Highness, we'll talk after you get up."

King Rong already understood that Ouyang Sheng was sincere in helping him, so he got up without saying a word.

Ouyang Sheng then asked him: "Your Highness, do you know why you need to ask?"

Prince Rong nodded: "The emperor once sent He Biwen to control the floods in Kaifeng, but He Biwen went to Nitao County to clean up the sand in the tributaries. The emperor was furious, dismissed him from his post, and threw him into prison. several years."

Ouyang Sheng nodded and said: "Now that he has been released from prison, he lives in Nitao County. Your Highness wants to manage the Yellow River, so why not go find him first."

King Rong was very hesitant: "Why did you ask that the emperor punished you because of your inability to regulate the Yellow River, but the prince asked me to invite him to come out? What should I do if he doesn't obey the order?"

Ouyang Sheng smiled: "If he doesn't listen to orders, then let him give orders. As for why he was punished back then, His Highness might as well check it out, and use it as a training for yourself."

Listening to what he said, this water control trip is really difficult. Can he do it? King Rong struggled for a while, and suddenly thought that his current situation could not be worse. If he didn't fight for a way out for himself, he would die sooner or later, so why should he be afraid of hardships and dangers? Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and clasped his fists at Ouyang Sheng: "I will set off today and go to Nitao County in person. Why do you need to ask for a visit?"

Ouyang Sheng saw that he used the word "visit" and was a little relieved: "His Highness has visited the thatched cottage three times and has the attitude of being polite to a virtuous corporal. He will definitely be able to accomplish great things."

King Rong was praised and full of fighting spirit, so he turned around and left.

Ye Yuxiao looked at King Rong's leaving figure and said, "I think King Rong can succeed this time."

Ouyang Sheng became interested: "Why are you so sure?"

Ye Yuxiao smiled and said: "You used to teach him how to fish, but today you are finally willing to teach him how to fish."

"That's right." King Pingnan stroked his beard and said, "Prince Rong's character is certainly weak, but if he can know how to make good use of people, be courteous to virtuous people, and attract the help of talented and high-ranking people, he may not be a man who cannot be supported."

Ouyang Sheng and others nodded. What they want is a wise monarch. It would be best if King Rong could work hard from now on.

Now that the matter of King Rong is over, Duke Cheng Guo thinks that next, it is time for King Pingnan, Ouyang Sheng and Zhang Chengxuan to blame Ye Yuxiao and the others for breaking into the study. After all, when men are discussing important matters, how can women listen?

But none of King Pingnan and the others felt that the behavior of the three sisters Ye Yuxiao was inappropriate. Instead, they were concerned about whether Ye Yuxiao was tired after sitting with a bulging belly for so long and wanted to go out and walk around.

Duke Cheng was speechless and left first. Gu Ruyan followed him out and sent him to the car first. Duke Cheng Guo couldn't hold it back and asked her, "Daughter-in-law, when you were at your parents' house, were you able to observe all military and state affairs?"

Gu Ruyan nodded: "My grandfather said that if the Pingnan Palace is in trouble, the female family members will be implicated and will not survive the disaster, so they have the right to know anything."

There seemed to be nothing wrong with these words... Duke Cheng Guo couldn't find anything to say to refute, so he had to say "Ouch" and boarded the car.

In Prince Yingchuan's Mansion, Prince Pingnan and Zhang Chengxuan also left one after another. Only Ouyang Sheng and Ye Yuxiao were left in the study.

Ouyang Sheng helped Ye Yuxiao up, walked with her to the corridor, and asked her: "Did you go to visit your second cousin's sister-in-law today? How is your second cousin's sister-in-law doing?"

Ye Yuxiao smiled and said: "She is already pregnant, and her pulse is very good. I even prescribed a prescription for my eldest cousin--"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Zuan coming over in a hurry: "The prince, the princess, the young master and the young lady are here!"

Gu Yuanlang and Sun Weifang? This is really about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Ye Yuxiao said hurriedly: "Invite them to sit in the hall, the prince and I will be here soon."

Ouyang Sheng was very surprised: "You just came back from Prince Pingnan's Mansion, and they rushed to Prince Yingchuan's Mansion right after you? Is this something urgent?"

When Xiaozhan heard this, he couldn't help but interjected: "Your Majesty, when the young lady came in, her face was not very good, as if she had been holding in a lot of anger..."
