Now that the prince's reputation among the people has been rising, the prince and grand master feel both pleased and ashamed.

He sighed: "Your Highness, I am ignorant and have underestimated your ability."

Luo Qinghan: "Teacher, I'm just lucky, I don't have much ability. Don't take this little thing to heart. How you taught me before will remain the same in the future."

This was said to the Prince and the Grand Master, who was very moved, and the old man smiled.

"Your Highness has made great achievements this time and will definitely be rewarded. Your Highness, please quickly enter the palace. The emperor and ministers are waiting for you in the meeting hall."

Hearing this, Luo Qinghan remembered what his father said before he left. He said that if the prince could ask for rain, he would personally go out to greet the prince when he returned to the palace.

But at this moment, the father is still sitting in the meeting hall, and he must have forgotten the agreement with his son.

If it were in the past, if his father had clearly promised to come out of the palace to pick him up but did not come, he would probably be very disappointed.

But now, his heart is extremely peaceful.

Along the way, he thought a lot.

Since family affection cannot coexist with power, and since both of these things are cold and ruthless to him, why doesn't he give up that useless family affection and seize power that is more beneficial to him?

Farewell to the teacher, Luo Qinghan boarded the carriage again.

The motorcade continued to move towards the palace.

The carriage drove into the palace gate, passed through many palaces, and finally stopped in front of the meeting hall.

The prince got out of the car and walked slowly up the stairs.

When he walked this road before, his mood was always numb, but now he has a completely different feeling than before.

He raised his head and looked at the meeting hall at the end of the road ahead. In his ears, he seemed to hear the cry of the mountains when all the people knelt down and worshiped, and also seemed to hear Xiao Xixi's voice.

She is saying——

You will definitely be a good emperor in the future.

They all have high hopes for him.

These high hopes are a reliable backing and a force pushing him forward.

His steps became more and more determined.

The position of the prince is already his. Not only the position of the prince, but also the throne of the emperor will be his.

No matter who comes to rob him, he will never make any concessions!

Luo Qinghan walked into the meeting hall with firm steps.

In the meeting hall, the cabinet ministers and princes all turned to look at him.

Luo Qinghan seemed not to notice the various gazes cast on him, and moved forward steadily, giving a big salute to the man sitting in a high position directly in front of him.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my duty and asked for rain for the four southern counties. The drought has finally been lifted!"

The emperor's mood at this time was extremely complicated.

The prince did what he didn't dare to do.

Does this prove that he is really old?

He smiled and said: "Prince, get up quickly. The reason why the four southern counties were able to lift the drought this time is all due to you. I must reward you greatly. Tell me, what do you want?"

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I have no worries about food and clothing, and I don't want anything. If my father must reward me with something, please ask my father to hand over the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Punishment to me. I am going south this time.

, I met many local officials and saw the shady scenes of officialdom that I had never been exposed to before. I want to clear up the officialdom so that my father can better govern the country."

The emperor said happily: "You have really grown up and know that you have shared my worries. I have already planned this matter. Even if you don't tell me, I will assign you errands. Since you took the initiative to speak, I will send the punishment department to you today."

I will leave it to you to take care of first, and when you get used to it, I will consider leaving the staff department to you as well."

Luo Qinghan paused to thank him.
