Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 508 Gentle Prime Minister x Sickly Prince 10

This summer has been rainy, especially in the south of the Yangtze River.

The population in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, people build farmland around lakes, and there are many rivers and lakes, so floods are inevitable during the rainy season.

But this year's floods are unprecedentedly severe.

The bustling market was submerged in the murky water, and the shop signs swayed on the water, as if telling of the ruthlessness of the disaster.

Residents panicked and fled their homes, seeking refuge on higher ground. Many low-rise houses were shaken by the torrent, and some even collapsed, splashing water.

The farmland turned into a vast ocean, the rice and vegetables were washed away without a trace, leaving behind a devastated scene.

Livestock struggled in the flood, some were unfortunately washed away, and others shivered in makeshift shelters.

The streets were cluttered with mud and garbage, and the stench was overwhelming.

The flood in the south of the Yangtze River came suddenly and caught people off guard, so much so that local officials only reported the disaster to the court after the disaster had already occurred.

The disaster news was urgently reported from Jiangnan yesterday, and the atmosphere in the court today is very low-pressure.

Lin Pei finished talking about the flood in Jiangnan and looked at the people below the stage.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?"

At the eye signal from Right Prime Minister Yang Li, the Minister of Works stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the flood in Jiangnan is extremely rare. I believe that the top priority is to mobilize supplies to provide relief to the victims and send officers and soldiers to assist in disaster relief." The Minister of Works said with a bow.

The emperor nodded slightly in agreement. "I order the Ministry of Revenue to immediately dispatch food and clothing to Jiangnan, and the Ministry of War to dispatch troops to the disaster area for rescue. The Ministry of Works will be responsible for supervising the construction of dikes."

After he made the decision, everyone in the court agreed.

"My emperor is wise."

"But in my opinion, we should send an imperial envoy from the capital to supervise this matter, but the choice of this person..."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Lin Yi who was not far away.

His wedding is coming up, so it is destined that he will not get it.

Lin Feichen naturally knew this. This was a lucrative job. If he came back successfully, he would definitely be rewarded by Lin Pei.

"Father..."

Just as he opened his mouth, Shen Xi took the lead.

"Your Majesty, I recommend the Fifth Prince."

After hearing what he said, Yang Li also took a step forward.

"The Fifth Prince is still young, and the flood in Jiangnan is too serious. It would be better to send someone older. I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is capable of doing this."

Shen Xi looked at Yang Li who was standing in front of him.

"You are still competing with me. I have already got the position, but I still want you to take it away."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married soon. This day is also a good day chosen by His Majesty, the Empress and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory once in a hundred years. If you miss this day, it will be difficult to find another one.

Although the Fifth Prince is young, Your Majesty knows that he has done an excellent job in his studies. "

Lin Yanqing didn't want to go at first, but if Shen Xi wanted him to go, he had to go.

Lin Pei was still hesitating.

Lin Yanqing stood up immediately.

"Your son is willing to go!"

There was a flash of surprise in the emperor's eyes, but he soon smiled with relief.

"Are you really willing to go to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief?"

The emperor asked.

"My father, although I am not talented, I want to do my best to relieve the worries of the people and your sorrow."

Lin Yanqing answered with a firm face.

Seeing this, Shen Xi quickly agreed, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince cares about the world, and he will be able to successfully complete the disaster relief mission this time."

The other ministers who stood on Shen Xi's side also expressed their agreement, and the emperor nodded, "Okay! In this case, I will appoint you as the imperial envoy and set off to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief today."

After expressing his gratitude, Lin Yanqing turned to look at Shen Xi and smiled proudly.

'Will the teacher be happier?'

Lin Feichen clenched his fists and secretly vowed in his heart that he must find an opportunity to prove his ability.

Down to court.

Lin Feichen came to Lin Yanqing.

"Fifth brother, the flood in Jiangnan is not as easy to solve as you think."

There was still a smile on his face, but Lin Yanqing could clearly feel his dissatisfaction with her.

"Thank you for your reminder, my brother. But if this is really a case of doing nothing but harm, why did you want to recommend yourself just now?"

"I just want to do my part for the country and the people, unlike some people who only care about their own power and status."

Lin Yanqing responded without showing any weakness.

The smile on Lin Feichen's face froze, but it only lasted for a moment and soon returned to normal.

"Fifth brother, you are joking. Everyone wants to do their part for the country and the people. As your elder brother, I am just reminding you to be careful."

After Lin Yanqing bowed to him, he immediately left the place to find Shen Xi.

"Thank you very much for your reminder, brother."
