Queen is the top

Within half a year after the incident subsided, there were no more voices from the people to criticize the emperor. This scene of peace and prosperity made the Supreme Emperor and his courtiers feel relieved.

Because of Chang Youjing's changing attitude, and Taishi Yuan's appreciation for the queen from time to time, the discussion of the queen in the court gradually decreased a lot.

Although the crowd no longer had the previous fierce rejection, they still maintained a wait-and-see attitude, waiting to see if the queen could make political achievements.

Entering the scorching summer, time went to August, and He Jingyue had grown to the age of two and a half years old. He looked fat and fat, a small person, but he was a bit taller than ordinary children, and his body was too big. It is quite strong and rarely gets sick. It can be seen that it was held in the palm of the hand and cared for in every possible way.

Today, he is the age who is most curious about everything, but he is not naughty. What he likes most all day is to let his father, queen and queen take him to Shoukang Palace, to find his third brother and brother Yuqing.

The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager were also afraid of disturbing their busy political affairs.

But He Jingyue insisted on seeing him, but the two had no choice but to take him there.

If He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing are busy and have no time to play with him, he doesn't make trouble, and sits quietly in He Jingyi's arms to accompany him to review the memorial, or nestle on Shi Yuqing's chest to watch him write.

The already cute and delicate face, coupled with that well-behaved appearance, is particularly painful.

Especially Shi Yuqing likes to play with him and teach him how to speak.

He Jingyue sat beside the two of them, read too many words with them, and thought of learning to write.

So in a childish voice, she told her brother Yuqing that she wanted to learn how to write and how to hold a pen.

Shi Yuqing was naturally happy when he heard that, and He Jingyi was also quite surprised, and ordered someone to make a brush that was one size smaller for him.

With the right tool, Shi Yuqing held his little hand and taught him to write stroke by stroke.

To his surprise, He Jingyue, who was a bean, didn't like to doodle like ordinary children. Instead, he studied with Shi Yuqing seriously, and started to write decently.

Although the characters are twisted and twisted, it is a little difficult to distinguish, but it has roughly taken shape, and the improvement will be obvious after writing it a few more times.

Seeing this, Shi Yuqing was very happy, praised him for his intelligence, collected his writing, and continued to teach him in his spare time.

He Jingyi felt warm and comfortable in his heart as he watched the seniors and juniors study hard, and a sense of belonging came spontaneously.

He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing carefully reviewed the memorial, and the other taught He Jingyue to read and write. He Jingyue, who was sitting between the two, was well-behaved and sensible.

These three people seemed to be a harmonious and beautiful scene, and everyone who saw them couldn't help but look forward to the early birth of a prince by He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing.

But He Jingyi never let go, even the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager were helpless, they could only think of slowly persuading him.

With the arrival of summer, the south will always experience a long period of rainy days, and the floods caused by the heavy rain will damage the crops of many farmers.

However, since the reign of Emperor Taishang, he built dams many times to dredge rivers. When He Jingyi came to the throne, he attached great importance to water conservancy management. Therefore, for many years, floods were dealt with in time and did not cause major disasters.

He Jingyi frowned slightly as he listened to the Minister of Industry's report, and Shi Yuqing beside him shook the bead on his forehead slightly, causing a slight collision sound, obviously also shocked by his words.

"This time the disaster came too fast. The flood broke the embankment fiercely. The officials of Jiangnan Road had no time to deal with it. Many people's crops and homes were submerged one by one. The people who did not escape were drowned in the flood. They sacrificed their lives to save people, and the surviving victims had no choice but to flee everywhere and were homeless." Gongbu Shilang sighed and said with emotion, "Your Majesty, we should quickly carry out disaster relief and rescue the victims."

The other courtiers were full of sympathy when they heard the words, and they all looked like they couldn't bear it.

He Jingyi nodded and said, "This is a matter of urgency. The Ministry of Industry needs to clear the flood water as soon as possible, and arrange for officials in the nearby area to accept the victims. The Ministry of Households allocates funds to build a charity warehouse to relieve the victims. We must return the victims to their hometowns as soon as possible."

After hearing the words, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of Households immediately stepped forward to worship and gave orders.

Upon hearing the words, Shi Yuqing turned her face to look at He Jingyi, and nodded. He seldom spoke in court, and He Jingyi knew that he agreed with his handling.

When she raised her eyes and saw the slight frown on his brows, knowing that he was worried about this matter, she stepped forward and gently held his hand.

Immediately afterwards, He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing closely followed the progress of the matter, and they would inquire about the development of the situation every morning, and even sent Hua Nanjin and Ye Cong, who were in high positions and won the trust of the two, to assist , Supervise and supervise the Ministry of Industry to dredge the flood.

Due to the rapid response and proper handling, the flood has been effectively controlled, but, surprisingly, the death toll of the victims has been increasing.

This phenomenon shocked He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing. As soon as they received the news, they immediately ordered people to investigate the situation and make sure to find out the matter.

However, the results of the investigation made everyone surprised and suspicious. These victims actually died of hunger.

However, there were rumors and gossip among the people. Many people felt sorry for the victims, complained that the imperial court refused to rescue them, and watched the people starve to death.

In the areas occupied by the victims, there were even rumors of embezzlement of disaster funds, which shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing immediately ordered the Ministry of Finance to investigate the household department responsible for appropriating the funds, and the results of the investigation once again shocked the officials in the court.

The account books of the household department are different, and the whereabouts of the disaster funds are unclear. It was even found out that the account books handed in by Kang Zimo, the servant of the household department, were fake accounts.

Kang Zimo instantly became the most critical person in the incident, and was ordered to suspend his post for review by the supervisory censor.

At the same time, Doctor Yu Shi received a report that Shi Daoran had deposited a large amount of money in the bank recently, pointing out that the source of the money was unknown and that it was the proceeds of corruption and disaster funds.

All the ministers were discussing even more, Shi Dao is the Queen's biological father, although he is in the position of Duke, but he has no real power, how can he embezzle disaster funds, they can't help but point their suspicious eyes at the Queen.

Public opinion was inexplicably turbulent, and overnight, a large number of unfavorable remarks against Shi Yuqing spread from the court, and most people almost believed that he embezzled disaster funds and let Shi Daoran deposit them in the bank in order to deceive people.

The culprit behind this looked at everything with a sneer, moving the net with peace of mind and being slowly retracted.

He didn't know what was going on, and the ministers who had long been angry at being used were afraid of He Jingyi and Yuan Taishi and others, and remained silent on the surface, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, they were extremely difficult to remove, and more and more voices of criticism gathered , constantly expanding, as if waiting for the day of explosion.

And this day will come soon.
