"emperor."
Several ministers knelt on the ground tremblingly and bravely said: "Floods are raging in the south, with the Lingyuan area of ​​Bianzhou being the most serious. Huai County has been completely flooded. People have been displaced and there are countless refugees. Now there are rumors everywhere.
explain……"
"What did you say?"
"This...is a treasonous and unethical statement that deceives the emperor and offends the emperor. I dare not speak nonsense."
Xiao Li put down the fold in his hand, with an unclear expression in his narrow eyes: "Say it, I won't chop your heads off."
Several ministers on the ground looked at each other and bumped one of them with his elbow. The minister swallowed his saliva nervously. Seeing the emperor looking at him coldly, he could only bite the bullet and continue fearfully:
"There are rumors outside that the snowstorms, floods and droughts in the past two years are the worst disasters that have ever happened since the founding of the Qin Dynasty. They say that... it is the emperor who is stupid and ignorant... ahem... and has attracted the anger of heaven and people, so the Qin Dynasty has
After suffering such a catastrophe, Wei Chen feels that the urgent need is to control these rumors, otherwise they will cause more public resentment and the consequences will be unimaginable."
"My beloved ministers risked their lives to remonstrate with me. They are really loyal and commendable. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
There were no emotional sounds above their heads, which made several ministers remain silent and did not dare to speak out.
"Why don't you say anything?" Xiao Li's eyes became colder and colder. He threw a bunch of discount papers in front of them and said angrily: "See for yourselves what these are. I have already allocated millions of taels of silver."
, why are the people still displaced and unable to make a living? Where have you sent all the money and food you sent!"
A minister heard this and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. The food and clothing exchanged for the disaster relief silver taels have been distributed to various disaster areas on time. Unfortunately, there are too many refugees and the floods have not receded. If things continue like this, no matter how much silver taels we have, they will not be used up for a few days."
.”
Xiao Li raised his lips with a sly smile. His voice was very cold, so cold that it made your blood flow and your hands and feet became cold: "Well said, I almost forgot if I didn't mention it. Sir, you are in charge of the Ministry of Industry.
What did the officials do when they were stationed in the south for a whole year? I sent you a lot of men, horses, and money to cut off the floods. As a result, the flood control levees built were destroyed by the water! The critical time for me to support you is
Are you using it as a decoration?"
The strong aura and sense of oppression made the kneeling ministers turn pale. The minister of the Ministry of Industry was so nervous that he kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am ineffective in doing things and failed to relieve your worries. Please forgive me."
"Okay." Xiao Li pinched his eyebrows with a headache, and his stern face was filled with seriousness: "The draft ceremony will be in two days. This matter will be discussed later. Please step aside."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Several ministers breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the imperial study. They were afraid that the emperor would be unhappy and punish them and throw them to the Meridian Gate. Even when they saw Su Jinzhi at the door, they only glanced at her.
Passed by.
If they had known that the person in front of them would be the one who would always play against them in the court, they would probably regret it. Why didn't they leave the imperial study later, so that the emperor would not do such a shocking thing the next day?
Decided.
As soon as the ministers left, the imperial study became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xiao Li stood alone by the window. The sunlight shone in, coating his handsome silhouette with a layer of warm sunshine, making him look like a god. His bright yellow dragon robe made his figure even taller and taller.
Looking at it from a distance, that figure is cold and proud, lonely and lonely.
