Only then did Murong Bing come back to her senses.
If the local governor had nothing to do, he would not leave the office easily. Now he hurried to the imperial city, something big must have happened.
She quickly picked up the memorial on the table.
"What? Flood? When did this happen? Why are you reporting it now?"
The sudden shouting startled the sleeping Zhao Rui, who trembled and got up in a daze.
The little eunuch who delivered the memorial was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground. They did not know the contents of the memorial.
Zhao Rui wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and wandered to Murong Bing's side.
"What happened? You're yelling like that!"
He is still half asleep and half awake, thinking he is on Blue Star.
The two young eunuchs were completely dumbfounded. It was disrespectful to speak to the emperor like this and would punish the nine tribes.
Unexpectedly, Murong Bing was not angry, but instead sent the memorial in his hand to Zhao Rui.
"The three counties in the south are the most prosperous places for our great merchants. Now they have been hit by floods and suffered heavy losses. I am afraid it will damage our national strength! Neighboring countries will also take the opportunity to launch attacks."
Only then did Zhao Rui wake up and immediately made a respectful gesture.
"Then send people to deal with the disaster quickly!"
Murong Bing naturally knew what to do, but in recent years, with the continuous war in the north, the national treasury was already empty, and there was no money left to provide disaster relief.
Zhao Rui shook his head and suddenly became excited.
"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to share your worries and go to the south to deal with the disaster."
Murong Bing was in a daze. She really had no choice now, but she couldn't live without Zhao Rui, otherwise Xiao Xiangguo would attack again and she wouldn't be able to cope with it.
But before Murong Bing could say anything, Zhao Rui scolded the two eunuchs directly.
"Tell the governor outside immediately that your Majesty's special envoy will go to provide relief soon."
The two eunuchs had dull faces, their bodies were shaking, and they looked at Murong Bing subconsciously.
Have you ever heard of a eunuch giving orders for the emperor?
At this time, Murong Bing had no other choice but to let Zhao Rui go.
Not to mention how happy Zhao Rui is, he is involved in too many royal affairs now.
Both the emperor and the queen slept with him, and the queen slept with him twice!
If this continues, he is afraid that his life will be at risk.
Just take this opportunity to stay away from the imperial city, maybe you can escape smoothly this time.
The two eunuchs were also horrified that the emperor actually obeyed Zhao Ruiyan.
"What are you still doing here? You two go with me to see the county guard."
In the corridor outside the palace hall, an old man who looked to be in his forties or fifties was kneeling under the scorching sun, breathing heavily.
Sima Shang, the governor of Nanjun, was a well-known upright official in the Great Shang Dynasty. He was a veteran of three dynasties and had extremely high qualifications.
Originally, Murong Bing planned to let him stay in the court to assist in government affairs, but the old man had to be transferred to Nanjun.
In recent years, Nanjun has become a veritable land of plenty under his governance, and half of the tax money and food for the great merchants came from here.
When Zhao Rui saw Sima Shang, he immediately went up to him and helped him up.
"Lord Sima, His Majesty has issued a decree asking me to return to Nanjun with you to provide disaster relief. Let's leave now."
Sima Shang was slightly startled. He came here to ask the emperor to allocate some money so that he could go back to fight the earthquake.
But now the emperor didn't give him anything and actually sent a young eunuch to go back with him. Isn't this nonsense?
Just as he was about to speak, dozens of imperial guards hurried over.
