C39

The various ministers left, the inner sect supervisor announced the Prince Zhenyuan and Wen Yi entering.

Wen Yi was a little perturbed, she did not have any confidence in this matter. Although she did not know much about imperial power techniques, she knew that once the emperor opened his mouth, it would be extremely difficult for him to turn the tables. She could only watch helplessly as someone innocently died, unable to do anything.

The Imperial study was very big, facing away was the emperor's office. Behind a royal table embroidered with a dragon's luster and yellow silk cloth, there was a square dragon chair that was painted with gold paint. In front of the royal table, there was a row of chairs, it was the seat for ministers to enter the palace to discuss national affairs. The first color was covered with a bright yellow silk cloth, while the cushion was embroidered with a dark green embroidery. The two colors intertwined, giving off an incomparably noble feeling.

The emperor sat calmly on the dragon throne. His brows were tightly knitted, and before the two of them had bowed, he had already spoken out in displeasure, "What are you two doing? It's fine with Luo Yi, but she doesn't know the rules. "They actually started a ruckus together with us!"

Prince Zhenyuan cupped his fist in salute, and said: "royal father, please say something to childrens!"

The Emperor seemed to be more troubled than usual. He frowned: "If you are pleading for him, then let's not talk about it, it is a busy autumn day for the court, and the matter of relief has yet to be resolved. Instead, you are not helping the royal father with national affairs, but instead spending so much effort on such small matters, it is absurd!"

Prince Zhenyuan did prepare a lot of things to say, but the emperor's first sentence was already enough to block their path, they were not allowed to say anything, they were not even allowed to mention anything, who knew what to say next.

It was just that he had promised Wen Yi, although he did not know what relationship she had with the Imperial Physician Shangguan, in his opinion, if not, why would she risk her life to save him? However, Wen Yi was his wife's savior, yet he actually agreed to help. Even though she knew that she couldn't help, she still had to do her best.

He pondered for a moment, and said: "royal father has indeed taught him well, but childrens thinks that all this time, Imperial Physician Shangguan has always done everything for our Royal Family, never once did we make the slightest mistake …"

Before the Emperor could finish his words, he interrupted him with a slight air of annoyance, "Don't bring up this matter again. I know very well whether he deserves to die or not."

Wen Yi heard these words and her heart immediately turned cold. She himself knew that Imperial Physician Shangguan was guilty of the crime, but since he had given the order, she was not willing to change it. To put it bluntly, he felt frustrated and wanted to find someone to kill to vent her anger.

Wen Yi knew that she shouldn't go head-on against him. Emperors were sometimes the most unreasonable people in the world. If she were to face it head on, it would be challenging the imperial power. How could the Emperor allow her to challenge his authority? Presumably, the consequences would be them killing Imperial Physician Shangguan immediately, or even implicating his family.

If he couldn't face it head on, the only way was to solve his problem.

She remembered what Zhong Zheng had said earlier, and after a moment of thought, she kneeled down and said sincerely, "royal father, I am not here to plead for Imperial Physician Shangguan, but I feel that he has already committed a crime. If I just kill him like this, there is no way I can help Wangsun, so why not let him gain merits his services and go to the disaster area to control the plague?

The emperor's expression softened, but he still said in a harsh tone, "Luo Yi, you as a woman don't understand the politics of the court, but what you said is reasonable. Shangguan Li is from the Department of Maternal and Infant Affairs, he may not be good with the plague."

Seeing that the emperor's complexion had improved, and was willing to listen to her speak, Wen Yi was relieved and boldly said, "Your majesty, we can use the name of the Imperial Physician Shangguan to appeal to the doctors of the people to accompany you to the disaster area. People's hearts were in despair. If the imperial government ordered them to provide relief and relief services, naturally, they would have to allocate food and resources to the people in the affected areas. If they wanted to help the people, they had to save their bodies and the people's hearts. During a time of disaster, the hearts of the commoners were extremely fragile. Regardless of whether or not the people sent by the Emperor could help them, they were all able to warm up. "As for the affected areas, they have received the attention of the entire country and even the attention of other countries. If the Emperor is able to appreciate the hearts of the people, he will definitely be respected by all four parties. It will also greatly benefit the Emperor's reputation."

The emperor's expression became softer and softer. In the end, he stood up and said joyfully: "Good, you have good insights. Luo Yi, I didn't think a woman from the royal family would have such insights.

Wen Yi was relieved. Although she smiled and replied, "royal father is flattering me, childrens only feels that rather than killing a person during a natural disaster, it is better to take that person in and serve royal father. Furthermore, Imperial Physician Shangguan is a man who must die, now that royal father has forgiven him, he can take back his life. Naturally, he would be grateful to royal father and would work even harder for him, praised royal father's kindness to the outside world, and this will be more effective than killing him. "

"Hmm, Luo Yi's words are reasonable. I have to say, you don't give in at all!" The emperor reached out his hand happily and knocked on the table, then shouted: "Where is Zhong Zheng?"

Zhong Zheng immediately pushed the door and entered, bowing: "This servant is here!"

"Prepare an edict for me, pardon Shangguan Li's death sentence, order him to come to the disaster area today, and cooperate with the local doctors to treat the people." The Emperor said.

Zhong Zheng smiled at Prince Zhenyuan, then stepped forward and began to grind the ink.

After the decree was given, just as Wen Yi and the Prince Zhenyuan were about to leave, the emperor extended his hand out to greet her. "Luo Yi, come to my side!"

Wen Yi was startled, she exchanged glances with Prince Zhenyuan, who nodded slightly. Wen Yi focused and came to the front to wait.

The Emperor actually took out a piece of the memorial, which was as tall as a small mountain, and handed it to her. "Look at it, and give me some advice."

Wen Yi was a little terrified. She knew that the palace maid was not allowed to take matters into their own hands.

She retreated a step, lowered her head, and said: "childrens does not dare."

The Emperor seemed to be in a good mood as he said, "I'll let you see, so be it."

Wen Yi could only use both hands to take the imperial edict and flip through it. There was a thick stack of memorials, and after a while, she had finished reading it.

When the emperor saw that she had folded the imperial edict, he thought that she would not be able to understand him. He said in a somewhat vexed tone, "Oh, I forgot for a moment, these obscure words, you're just a woman in your room, how can you understand them? Zhong Zheng, explain them to Princess Qian Qian."

Wen Yi smiled slightly, "royal father, there's no need. childrens can understand it, and I've finished reading it as well."

The emperor looked at her in surprise. "Finished? This memorial is divided into three parts, have you finished reading all three? "

Wen Yi said: "I have finished, the first part, is the cause of the disaster. Because of the blockages in the river, the continuous heavy rain and the fact that the rain could not get out, coupled with the blockage in the Long River's River, it took me five days and six nights to get out of the water. So this time, it only rained for five days and six nights, which resulted in this rare disaster. The second part was the current situation of the affected people. In this flood, the affected area affected three counties, over 375,000 houses had collapsed, over 136,75 people had died from the disaster, and over 70,000 people had been injured in the disaster. The third part is about the epidemic situation. Since the epidemic situation has just occurred, the data are inaccurate, so the memorial didn't spell it out. "

The emperor looked at her strangely and did not speak for a long time. Finally, he pointed at the Prince Zhenyuan and said, "Yun Gang, take a look."

Prince Zhenyuan accepted the order and took it.

It took Prince Zhenyuan an hour to finish reading the same memorial.

The emperor asked, "How many people died in the disaster area?"

Prince Zhenyuan was startled, and immediately flipped open the imperial memorial.

The emperor then asked, "How many houses collapsed in the disaster area?"

Before they could find the Prince Zhenyuan, the emperor asked again and they flipped through the pages even faster.

In the end, he used a mosquito-like voice to recite what was written in the memorial.

The Emperor shook his head. "What do you think?"

There was no end to these words. Prince Zhenyuan did not know what the Emperor was referring to and could not help but kneel in fear as he said, "childrens is guilty!"

"What crime have you committed?" the Emperor asked sternly.

Prince Zhenyuan looked awkward. He looked up at Wen Yi and stuttered: "childrens … childrens... " After mumbling for a while, he couldn't say a word.

The emperor looked at Wen Yi again, "What do you think he did wrong?"

Wen Yi was also a little doubtful, but she shook her head, "childrens thinks that Your Highness is right. Just like Li Bai had said, the heavens are born with talent, the prince is a good general who leads the troops in war, with the ability to plan, planning, and strategy, he won by a thousand miles, causing the childrens to respect him greatly. As for the royal father, they were king over all, they loved their people like their children, they lived in a high place in a temple, they thought about the people of the world, and the various national policies that they carried out under the throne focused on the people. If it were the common people, royal father would not be able to sleep and eat at ease, and wished to suffer in their stead. However, childrens did not belittle himself. childrens adhering to his duty and doing well in himself was the best explanation to royal father and Father and Mother. "

When Wen Yi said this, she also felt goosebumps. It was unknown when she had become a fart. However, these words were extremely useful for high ranking personnel.

The emperor smiled and looked at Wen Yi with a new level of respect. After she finished speaking, he said to the Prince Zhenyuan, "Get up. It's just as Luo Yi had said; you're not at fault.

Prince Zhenyuan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Wen Yi gratefully.

The Emperor looked at Wen Yi again and said, "You have read the memorial too.

Wen Yi did not argue, and said: "royal father, there is no need to discuss the matter of relief efforts, just do your best, to make the people in the affected area your own family members, and they will be perfect. Only, the disaster has already happened this time. We have to put an end to this and let it happen again. Could the royal father take a look at the map of the arid region and its information? "

The emperor nodded slightly. "Well said. In the past few days, I have been discussing with the ministers about how to provide food for the disaster, but we were unable to reach a consensus. It has been a headache. Now that you put it this way, I have a plan. Rather than calculating my own purse, I might as well unpack my own purse and make a disaster. "In any case, there is no war at the border, and silver would not be given to children in the treasury. It would be better to use it for the common people." He passed the memorial for the drought to Wen Yi and ordered Zhong Zheng to send him a map.

Wen Yi looked for a long time. The drought also covered a large area, but she was puzzled by the fact that there were rivers surrounding the drought area. Logically, as long as they were clear of the river, they would be able to irrigate their water.

She muttered to herself for a long time and said: "royal father, can I ask if you would like to talk with the Minister of Industry?"

The emperor was stunned and looked at her doubtfully, "The Minister of Industry is Yun Qian."

Wen Yi was startled, he was the Minister of Industry? Why hadn't anyone mentioned it to him? Furthermore, there was no such thing in Yang Luoyi's memories, and even Yang Luoyi himself didn't know of it, right?
