The emperor let them go and let them feel at ease, which means that the fourth prince will not be punished severely.

As long as the fourth prince is not severely punished.

Nangong Yunqi was angry in his heart, and the anger in his heart was against the third prince.

He stood up and knelt directly in front of the emperor and said, "I don't feel happy if I don't vomit."

The emperor said, "Sit down and talk, the ground is cold."

The queen also felt distressed and said, "Get up quickly and sit down and talk."

Nangong Yunqi sat down again and said, "For food and grass, if it weren't for the Grand Emperor and Yuzhu's preparation in advance this time, the final outcome of this battle was completely unknown. As early as early as early autumn, I wrote to the Third Emperor's Brother, explaining that the cotton coats were in short supply at the border. The Third Emperor also replied, saying that the cotton coats would be delivered when winter began. This was a letter written by the Third Emperor and I at that time."

Nangong Yunqi took out the letter from his arms and handed it to the emperor.

Then he said: "The Third Emperor also said that the cotton production this year is good, and there is a bumper harvest, and there will be no shortage of cotton coats, but the cotton coats have not been delivered until the late winter. The soldiers in the border were not hungry because of the food and grass, but many people were sick because of the inadequate cotton coats. In the cold weather, everyone could not rest in the tent, but could only lean against the fire next to the open-air fire to keep warm. These were all caused by the inaction of the Third Emperor."

Nangong Yunqi became more and more angry as he spoke. The soldiers in the border were not hungry, and he was not angry too much about food and supplies.

But because of the cotton coat, he was frozen, and he saw this.

The emperor's face became much more serious: "What else? Keep talking."

Nangong Yunqi continued: "The cotton coat was not delivered until we finished the battle. If it weren't for the more than 10,000 cotton coats sent by the Grand Emperor and Yuzhu in response, many of our soldiers might not even be able to fight."

"Let's talk about food and grass. Although the food and grass sent by the third emperor brother would not leave the soldiers without food, the food that had not been hoarded could not keep up with it. Thanks to the food and grass sent by the eldest emperor and Yuzhu, we could ensure supply during the days of the war, and there was no chaos in the army."

He was not very angry with the Fourth Prince.

Because he saw the changes of the fourth prince, and also saw the attitude of the fourth prince to correct his mistakes.

But what about the third prince?

There was not even a letter of explanation.

He also sent people to urge him repeatedly.

The emperor's face was already very gloomy. He took a deep breath and said, "I will give you an explanation to the soldiers of the border."

At this time, Eunuch Hai came in and reported: "Emperor, the fourth prince took off his shirt and kowtowed from the city gate with his thorns on his back, saying that he wanted to see the emperor."

Lin Yuzhu and Nangong Yun looked at each other in a sympathetic manner.

Everyone thought to themselves that the Fourth Prince was indeed decisive enough. He could hold on for so long after he bowed his head in three steps. It was in the snow and ice.

The emperor's angry heart comforted a little and said, "Let him come in."

The Empress was very worried: "The Fourth Prince doesn't know if he can hold on. It's such a cold day, people come and prepare thick clothes and can put them on when the Fourth Prince comes in."

The emperor next to him did not stop him, and obviously he still felt sorry for the Fourth Prince.

Lin Yuzhu said: "The Fourth Emperor Brother really knows that he is wrong."

Nangong Yunqi struck while the iron was hot: "Father, look at the fourth brother who is sincere in admitting his mistake."

Both of them were actually a little worried about the Fourth Prince. It was so cold outside that they could not bear the knees even if they kowtowed every three steps from the city gate.

But a quarter of an hour later, Eunuch Hai entered the house with the trembling fourth prince.

The Fourth Prince was really cold. The thorns on his back had already pierced into the flesh, and blood was flowing because the Fourth Prince had been moving and the wounds had not healed.

As soon as he entered the room, the fourth prince knelt directly in front of the emperor: "Please punish my father."

Seeing that the Fourth Prince was so embarrassed and sincere, the emperor lost his anger and said, "Take off the thorn on his body, and someone will put on the clothes for the Fourth Prince."

The fourth prince said firmly: "If the father does not forgive, the child will not get up."

The bitter meat scheme must continue.

The emperor groaned, "You are so lucky that Yun Qi and Yuzhu have you pleaded with you, and the generals from the border pleaded with you, otherwise you will go to guard the imperial tomb with your third brother."

This sentence reveals important news that the third prince will be punished to guard the imperial tomb.

With a sigh, the emperor continued, "I can't punish you, but I can't hand over the matter of asking you to be responsible for the border herbs. I'll give you no objection to the Eighth Princess."

Lin Yuzhu was stunned and quickly knelt down and said, "Father, I can't do it."

The emperor said with certainty: "You can!"

The fourth prince also quickly said, "You promise to the Eighth Princess, you can't help but leave it to others."

This time he was convinced and handing over this matter to Lin Yuzhu was the best result. Not to mention that Lin Yuzhu himself was also growing herbs, but it was another layer of Lin Yuzhu's identity, so it was amazing.

At least, Lin Yuzhu is more experienced in identifying herbs.

Furthermore, this time I just lost the task but did not receive any more serious punishment, which is a very lucky thing in itself.

Lin Yuzhu didn't want to work so hard: "But...but I want to have some time with Yun Qi."

The queen covered her mouth and laughed: "You girl, I know there must be a reason for not agreeing. I remember the general's wife told me last time that Master Chu's son has been helping you grow herbs, right? You can give them the matter! By the way, there is also a doctor named Qi Xiu. I heard that this person is very upright and good, so you can ask them for help."

It is clear that this matter is to be left to Lin Yuzhu.

This was actually mentioned by the Queen on the initiative.

The fourth prince was obviously unable to be qualified to provide herbs to the border.

And this position must be handed over to a reliable person. She was the first to think of Lin Yuzhu and investigated the relationship around Lin Yuzhu. She found that Chu Jinlin, the son of Lord Chu, is a good person. After investigation, Qi Xiuren, who has a good friend with Lin Yuzhu, is also good, and Jishitang also does herbal business. Isn't it all together?

Lin Yuzhu was speechless by the queen's words.

She couldn't understand this operation!

Nangong Yunqi understood that it must be the queen's idea, and smiled and said, "Yuzhu, just promise your father. With Qi Xiu and Chu Jinlin's help, you can only be responsible for staring at it."

To put it bluntly, the emperor is also trying to praise Chu Jinlin and Qi Xiu.

The so-called "one person has attained enlightenment and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven" is probably like this.

Lin Yuzhu kowtowed and received the order.

The fourth prince had already put on his clothes, but he still knelt on the ground.

The emperor said, "Fourth brother, get up, knowing mistakes can improve. I have never been afraid of your brothers making mistakes, but I am afraid that you will not know how to correct them if you make mistakes. This is true for the third brother. You should know what you should do in the future!"

He has not punished the third prince yet. After all, it is the Chinese New Year, so he has to wait for the Lantern Festival before talking about it.
