Chapter 488
The emperor was infuriated, and the ground above the golden palace fell to the ground.
"I don't care how you guys usually fight, but now that the natural disaster is here, the people's wails are still ringing in my ears. If anyone dares to make a move at this time, I will chop their hands off no matter who it is!
" Do you understand?
"
"Your son (official) understands. Please calm your anger, Your Majesty.
"
"The Minister of Revenue shall immediately draft the articles of association and hand them over in paper form. From today onwards, we shall begin to reduce the number of cases and expenses incurred by the palace. Except for Grand Princess Yi De, the other princes, concubines, and officials shall be reduced according to their rank …
"
This meeting lasted for more than four hours. After the two of them returned to their respective homes, they got angry and ordered their families to reduce the number of people in the court. At the same time, they gathered their trusted aides and discussed their plans. However, before they could come to a conclusion, Su Jin, who was in the prison of Shuntian, suddenly confessed that she knew the truth behind the river burst. She said that the river burst was not a natural disaster but that someone in the capital had deliberately sunk the ship carrying the salt tax and silver in order to destroy the evidence of the salt tax loss case.
On the riverside, in order to prevent people from salvaging the sunken ships and official silver, he secretly blew up the riverbank to completely destroy the evidence.
When he said that, Shen Bingshu was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat. Ignoring the fact that it was already late, he immediately entered the palace.
When Prince Jin heard this news, he was furious. He paced back and forth in his study,
"Can't we find a way to shut her up?
" The trusted advisor on the side shook his head,
"Earlier, the poisoning of Zou Min and Yang Lian in the Ministry of Justice's prison had angered the Emperor, and he ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate. The reason they didn't imprison Su Jin in the Ministry of Justice was to prevent others from silencing her. Shuntian was Shen Bingshu's territory, and he had cleaned it up extremely cleanly.
As for Su Jin, this important witness, he would send people to take turns to guard her day and night. He would not be able to find an opening at all.
" King Jin pursed his lips and sighed:
"I already knew that Jiangnan Yan Zheng was a huge pit, but I still couldn't resist the temptation to jump down. Now that I want to climb out, I can only grab hold of other people and keep an eye on Duke Yu's every move, I definitely cannot give him the chance to do so in front of royal father!
"
The slanderous words. In addition, the magistrate of Riverside City must personally confirm the life and death of the Titan. Once the message was confirmed, it must be sent to this king and must not be delayed in the slightest. Furthermore, keep a close eye on King Yu, and think of a way to disrupt his relief efforts.
"
"Yes, Your Highness.
" The cold wine fragrance lingered in his mouth, causing him to squint his eyes.
"As long as Prince Jin is unable to successfully provide relief, then I will be able to help father share his worries. In addition, I will also prepare —
A large gift was sent to Eldest Princess Yi's residence. The Eldest Princess greatly doted on King Yue, and right now, the life and death of Fourth Brother is unknown. As her imperial brother, I should help him take care of his family.
"
"Yes, your servant will do it right away.
"
The Minister of the Civil Service gathered officials with experience in disaster relief and worked out the rules for this disaster relief together. After the emperor finished reading, he called King Yu over to him and told him in detail for two hours. Only then did the emperor allow him to leave the capital for Riverside City. When King Yu was at the palace, he had sent his eunuch to visit Mu Yunyao at Qin Fang Yuan Garden. He thought that she should know of the news by now and might have some words or letters that she wanted him to bring to Titan. However, when he came out of the palace, he saw the eunuch who went to ask him and found out that he had arrived at Qin Fang Garden.
After that, they didn't even see Mu Yunyao.
King Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly. He did not tarry any further, getting on his horse and leading the rest of his men out of the capital quickly. It took her six days to arrange all the arrangements for the disaster relief operation. After entering the palace, Grand Princess Yi looked at the tiredness on the emperor's face and couldn't help but gently advise,
"Your Majesty's body is no longer the same as it used to be. You can't work day and night like this and have so many officials under your care …
"
Isn't it all for the sake of helping the Emperor?
"
"Royal sister, Jun Yue's matter...
"
The Grand Princess Yi De turned to look at Xu Li.
"Take away the tea at the emperor's side and exchange it for some soup that will nourish the body.
"
"Yes, Grand Princess.
"
"Your majesty, I've heard of Jun Yue's matter. However, this child has the luck of the heavens. I believe that nothing will happen to him.
"
The emperor remained silent for a long time. After Xu Li served the soup, he slowly withdrew. After a long while, the emperor finally spoke. His tone was choked with emotions,
"Sister, ever since we found out about Jun Yue's accident, we've been worrying about him. If he really is … After a hundred years, how should I face the Queen …. Rou-Er will definitely blame me, moreover, I
He finally understood that he shouldn't have treated him coldly because of the guilt in his heart...
"How can I be so foolish? How can I face Rou-Er …
" Grand Princess Yi De looked at the red-eyed emperor. His two temples had already turned white, and his face was now filled with grief and vexation. He no longer had his usual regal dignity. The incident with the empress had dealt a huge blow to the emperor. He had to stay in the palace to recuperate for three months …
He and the empress Wei Rou were a young couple. No matter how destitute the emperor was back then, the empress had always been single-minded towards him and had even given up her life for him …
"Emperor, Rou Er's personality is the most docile. She understands the pain in your heart, so she won't blame you.
"
"My royal sister, after this incident, I realized that I'm really old. If Jun Yue can return safely this time, I'll definitely make up for it.
"
"Mn, don't worry. With your father being concerned, Jun Yue will definitely return safely.
"
The Emperor broke away from his guilty thoughts. Seeing the Grand Princess's worried expression, he could not help but ask,
"Royal sister, you're not looking well either, but you're not feeling well?
"
"I'm fine, but Yao'er ….
" Grand Princess Yi De sighed deeply.
"Yao'er left the capital and went to Lin Jiang City to look for King Yue.
"
"What?
" The Emperor subconsciously frowned,
"Back then, I didn't know Yun Yao's identity, so I didn't oppose to the matter between her and Jun Yue, but now …
"
The Grand Princess Yi De sighed.
"The Emperor is an experienced man. He should know that matters of the heart are the most difficult to control. Just like you and Rou'er …
"
When he thought of the Queen, the Emperor's forehead once again relaxed. However, he still did not agree.
"Sister royal, but there is a difference in seniority between the two of them.
" Although they were both uncles and nieces in name, in reality, they were even more related than their cousins who had gotten married. It was just that there was some difference in seniority that made people feel that they were slightly different. Jun Yue had a hard time. If he found out the truth one day …
"Just thinking about it makes me feel sad, so as an aunt, I can't help but want to love him a little more.
" Since Yun Yao had already made up her mind, as a grandmother, she had to think of a way to get rid of the biggest obstacle for her. As long as the emperor didn't care about their relationship, then no one else had the right to interrupt.
