Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

A few days later, a big event happened in the court.

It rained continuously this year and floods occurred in Lincheng. Emperor Yinde Longyan was furious. Natural disasters were originally inevitable, but Lincheng officials concealed them and failed to report them. As a result, the people were displaced and hundreds of people drowned alive.

If he and Gu Wenkang hadn't always paid attention to what was going on below, I don't know how long this matter would have been hidden from him and the court.

Knowing this, Emperor Yinde quickly summoned officials to discuss the matter. With hundreds of people's lives at stake, Emperor Yinde had no good expression at the moment. He sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face and said nothing. It was left to Gu Wenkang to discuss the matter with the officials.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing now is to behead the magistrates and magistrates of Lincheng in public to show that the court attaches great importance to this matter. Otherwise, it will only chill the hearts of the people of Lincheng even more." one official suggested.

Gu Wenkang stood at the front and glanced back at him, "Master Zhao, you mean that the most important thing now is not to rescue the victims, but to deal with the officials?"

"The magistrates and magistrates of Lincheng are unworthy of His Majesty's support and should be punished as they should be. Do you want to protect them today?" Mr. Zhao continued.

"When did I say that I would protect them?" Gu Wenkang was almost furious. Could this man have some foresight?

"Then why, Prime Minister..." Before Mr. Zhao could finish his words, he saw the expensive tea cup shattered on the ground.

"Okay!" Emperor Yin De roared, "You don't think I have enough headaches, do you?"

The officials were so frightened by the emperor's majesty that they all smashed their legs to the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"I sent you here to find a solution, not to let you make noise here!"

Emperor Yinde was already upset when he heard about this, but now he was even more upset when his ministers made such a noise.

"Is there anyone willing to share my worries and go to Lincheng to appease the victims?"

After Emperor Yin De's words fell, Gu Wenkang was the first to raise his head. He was very willing to go, but he was not in a hurry to reply because he saw Emperor Yin De shaking his head at him.

Also, Gu Wenkang is already the prime minister of a country. If anything requires him, the prime minister, to personally deal with it, that is really unreasonable.

Among the courtiers behind, there were some who were eager to try, and some who really didn't want to go. Emperor Yinde had a clear view of all this.

Ji Xingwang really wants to relieve you of your worries. If this matter is really done this time, it will be a good thing for him, Emperor Yinde, Chengjue, and the people of Wanjin. pieces.

But Ji Xingwang also knew that his current abilities were not enough. He had just joined the official position less than a year ago and had no experience in many things. He had never even followed others on business trips to Beijing, let alone traveled to Beijing on business trips by himself.

He always remembered what Hui Zhaoyuan and Su Qingyao said. If you have the ability to do an errand, do it. If you are not sure, don't do it. Nothing in the court is trivial. The emperor will not let you try and make mistakes. Chance.

Thinking of this, Ji Xingwang gave up the idea.

"I am willing to share your worries and go to Lincheng. I would like your Majesty's permission." Ji Xingwang actually knew the speaker. He was the legitimate son of the Minister of Rites, Qiao Muyan's brother Qiao Fa.

I really didn't expect that he would be so active.

A dandy boy actually took the initiative to ask for help. Considering the safety of the people, Your Majesty will definitely not use him.

Ji Xingwang really guessed Emperor Yinde's thoughts. Emperor Yinde was about to say something when he was interrupted by Qiao Shangshu.

Qiao Shangshu saluted Emperor Yinde and said, "Your Majesty, although Quanzi wants to share your Majesty's worries, he is still young after all. I boldly request an order to let Mr. Zhu and Mr. Liu go together to help Quanzi. Please also Your Majesty approves."

The two officials Qiao Shangshu mentioned just now are both his subordinates. If they get credit for this matter, they will also be regarded as belonging to their Qiao family.

Emperor Yinde thought about it for a long time and realized that this was indeed a solution, so he issued an edict and agreed.

"Tidy up and set off immediately. It's nothing, just kneel down." Emperor Yin De rubbed his brows and waved his hand tiredly.

The officials knelt for a long time, and their legs were numb after they stood up. They also supported each other when they went out.

"Master Su, Your Majesty, please come in and talk." Su Li had just left the palace gate when he was called back by Li Fuhai.

Mr. Zhao, who had a dispute with Gu Wenkang just now, is an official of the Ministry of Punishment. Emperor Yinde left Su Li alone this time because he wanted to remind him to take care of the people under him and not to behave at all.

Su Li was scolded by Emperor Yinde in the Yangxin Hall. This matter reached Su Qingyao's ears through Yejiu that night.

Su Qingyao also heard about what happened in Lincheng. When Emperor Yinde was upset, she didn't bother to get close to him. She might as well play with the children in Weiyang Palace.

"Master Zhao? Isn't he from Su Li?" Su Qingyao asked after thinking for a while.

Ye Jiu lowered his head and responded, "Master is smart, this Master Zhao is actually very close to Qiao Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette in private. What happened today in the Yangxin Hall looks like someone from their Ministry of Etiquette deliberately It’s arranged.”

Su Qingyao sighed softly, "It is indeed true. Among the ministers in the Yangxin Palace, including His Majesty, who can't see it?"

Ye Jiu asked cautiously, "Master, do you think it's a pity? You gave this good opportunity to make meritorious deeds to others in vain."

Su Qingyao lowered her head and smiled, "What's the pity? I won't do anything that I'm not sure about, and I hope my cousin will do the same. What's more, I and Your Majesty are also very clear about Qiao's purpose, but they just want to Through this contribution, I want Qiao Muyan to raise her own children."

"Then let her raise her own child. Qin Chongyuan from the province comes to me almost every day to complain, saying why Mrs. Qiao is so restless. She is raising her own child, and I am quiet now. I also want to see it. Look, what will the child raised by Qiao Muyan be like in the future? Even if she is not allowed to raise it now, she will find other ways to deal with me and Qin Chongyuan, which is really tiring."

Su Qingyao knew very well that with Qiao Muyan's family background, as long as her family had some merit, it would not be difficult to raise her own children.

Then she might as well be more generous. Besides, who would want to raise the child Qiao Muyan gave birth to?

As long as Qiao Muyan learns her duties, Su Qingyao really doesn't mind and allows her to raise her children for a few more years. If she doesn't learn her duties, then it really doesn't matter.

This is the only thing we can do now.

Recalling what she heard about what happened in the Yangxin Hall, Su Qingyao told Ye Jiudao, "You have been keeping a close eye on Mr. Zhao these past few days. If he is still restless, get rid of him."
