King Zhu Chong of Pingnan also quickly mobilized his troops to fight back. The two sides fought hard at Shahe Pass and both sides suffered losses.
After seven days of rapid horse racing, Li Mingyang also rushed to Guangyi City with the imperial edict and met Yu Hao and Zhou Ren.
At this time, the disaster relief work in Ningzhou was proceeding in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Hao and Zhou Ren, and the people in Ningzhou basically received disaster relief food.
At the same time, more than 5 million stones of grain stored on Luotuo Mountain were also transported to Ganzhou, which was adjacent to Ningzhou, solving the disaster in Ganzhou.
In the Guangyi Prefecture Office, Li Mingyang held the imperial edict and said with a serious expression: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: Zhou Ren, the governor of Guangyi, was appointed as the governor of Ningzhou, and was in charge of disaster relief matters in the five northern states. If any of the other four states do not follow, they will be executed and will not be pardoned. I will be honored!"
"My minister Zhou Ren received the order and thanked Lord Long's kindness!"
Zhou Ren was already in tears at this time. The emperor not only appointed him as the governor of Ningzhou, but also gave him such great power. This was a great kindness for him!
At the same time, Zhou Ren also looked at Yu Hao with gratitude. It was precisely because of Yu Hao's recommendation that Zhou Ren is today. He will never repay Yu Hao's kindness for his life!
"Congratulations to Lord Zhou, the disaster relief work in the five prefectures will be troubled by Lord Zhou." Li Mingyang smiled and handed the imperial edict to Zhou Ren.
"This is what I should do, please rest assured Lord Li." Zhou Ren respectfully took the imperial edict and said.
Before Li Mingyang arrived at Guangyi Mansion, Zhou Ren had ordered Lu Xiaoming to bring 5,000 civil servants and tens of thousands of soldiers from Ningzhou to return to Wudu City, intending to transport the remaining 10 million stones of grain from Haoyue Manor.
According to Yu Hao, he specially asked someone to make a batch of grain transport vehicles, and more than 10,000 people were enough to transport all the grain.
With this food, the people of the five northern states will be worry-free.
At this moment, Yu Hao suddenly pulled Li Mingyang aside and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Li, I came to Guangyi Mansion this time, Your Majesty didn't say anything, right?"
Yu Hao came to provide disaster relief this time and missed the wedding date set by the emperor for him and the princess. In the smallest terms, it was a escapist, and in the big way, it was a deception of the king.
Although Yu Hao was for the people to provide disaster relief, Zhu Song would probably not punish Yu Hao, Yu Hao was still a little worried.
"You are so embarrassed to say, have you forgotten that you and the princess have an engagement? Your Majesty is so angry about this. I will take you back immediately this time." Li Mingyang said angrily.
"No? I'm not going to make the people of the five northern states fill their stomachs? Your Majesty isn't so unkind, right?" Yu Hao was startled.
Seeing Yu Hao scared, Li Mingyang laughed and said, "I'm just teasing you. Your Majesty hasn't mentioned any words about the engagement. I guess I won't make things difficult for you, but you still have to go back with me immediately."
"Why? I won't go. I plan to stay in Guangyi Mansion for a while." Yu Hao said angrily.
He just missed the engagement. If he went back at this time, the emperor would not force him to marry the princess immediately?
As the saying goes, generals are outside and military orders are not accepted. As long as he is not in Wudu City, it will be useless even if the emperor wants to marry the princess to him.
Li Mingyang obviously saw what Yu Hao was thinking, glaring at Yu Hao and said, "Can you still plan to hide outside for the rest of your life? How many people want to be the prince consort but can't be the one? Don't be in the blessing of you!"
