You should trust him!
That's right, she should trust him.
"Now that the imperial court is stable, and there are many capable ministers assisting from the sidelines, there won't be any chaos in the imperial court. Besides, you and I are only leaving the capital. If something happens to the imperial court in the future, we can always come back. You can also put aside all your worries and stay by my side with peace of mind."
"Mn."
She nodded.
… …
In the imperial palace, it was morning.
Since it was summer, the sun rose quickly.
Wei Yi woke up at this time after fainting from a headache.
A few candlelight flickered in the hall, giving off a sense of loneliness. Sandalwood incense floated out of the burner and lingered in the room. The fragrance made the room even more desolate.
Wei Yi opened his eyes and stared blankly at the swaying curtains above his head.
His body did not move.
"Creak!"
Liu Ze pushed open the door and entered with a few pieces of sandalwood incense in his hand. He was about to toss another one into the burner.
Just as he lifted the lid —
He realized that Wei Yi was awake!
"Your Majesty, you're awake?" He hurriedly bowed to the dragon bed.
But Wei Yi still did not move.
He was like an idiotic puppet!
Liu Ze was worried. "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? This servant will summon an imperial physician for you. "
He was about to go —
"No need." Wei Yi stopped him.
He propped himself up!
He looked tired.
Liu Ze said, "This servant should summon the imperial physician again."
"There's no need to waste time." He looked outside through the wooden window and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's just dawn."
"I slept for so long?"
"Your Majesty, you should rest a bit more. Your health is more important."
Wei Yi did not listen. He lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He grabbed a piece of clothing from the screen and draped it over his shoulders.
He left the hall.
Liu Ze followed closely behind him, his heart heavy with worry. Outside, the sun had gradually risen, and the morning light illuminated the sky with various colors. The light penetrated through the clouds and sprinkled on the red walls, green tiles, "golden bricks", stone slabs, and red pillars of the Forbidden City … It dyed the cold and dull Forbidden City with a layer of carmine red. Ning Ning, who was in the middle of the night, was stunned.
It was quiet and warm, making one feel intoxicated.
Wei Yi stood in a daze at the entrance of the hall, staring at the morning sun.
The gentle light shone on his body bit by bit, and the warmth also swept away the coldness on his body.
After a long time …
Wei Yi glanced at Liu Ze. "How's the case going?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, this servant has learned that the case has already been investigated overnight. The Ministry of Justice should be sending the file over today for Your Majesty to look over."
He said, "En."
He did not say anything else.
An hour later.
Throne Room.
All the ministers of the imperial court had arrived.
On Jing Rong's left, he stood straight and expressionless.
Wei Yi sat on the Dragon Throne, his dragon robe making him look especially spirited.
The Minister of Justice reported the three murder cases in the capital.
"The culprit has already confessed. This official has also drafted a dossier and is awaiting Your Majesty's judgement."
Wei Yi understood. He looked at the file in front of him and said, "Since the culprit has confessed, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, Wei Yi's gaze swept across the people in front of him. His eyes darkened. "Ministers, is there anything else?" At this moment, the Minister of Works stepped forward. "Reporting to Your Majesty. Recently, the dikes in the southern part of the city suddenly collapsed. Although there were no casualties and no casualties among the people, once the water rises, the city will definitely be flooded. However, the construction is a huge project. Who should be the main person in charge? A few days ago
I have already submitted a memorial and made a list of names. I ask Your Majesty to choose a suitable candidate from them. " Wei Yi had already read the memorials and already had a candidate in mind. "The construction of the dikes is a big project. It should be done by an experienced person. We feel that the Left Assistant Minister of Works, Lord Dong, can take on this role! He has participated in many major construction projects. If we leave this to him, we can rest assured. "
。”
Jing Rong immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although Lord Dong is experienced, and it is natural for him to be in charge of the construction this time, but two years ago, Lord Dong led a group of people to build a small hall in Yonghe Palace. In the end, there was a problem with the quality of the roof tiles, causing several young eunuchs to fall from the roof.
Although it was a problem with the tiles, the supervision was not strict enough. The construction of the dikes this time is a big project. There cannot be any mistakes. Moreover, there are many things that need to be paid attention to. Lord Dong is experienced, but there are some details that may not be taken into account. Thus, Your Majesty should choose someone else. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a minister said, "Prince Rong is right. Your Majesty should choose someone else."
… …
Wei Yi's gaze deepened. He asked Jing Rong, "Then what does Prince Rong recommend?"
"This official has a person that can be recommended. Yang Zhouzhi!"
"Yang Zhouzhi? The Ministry of Justice's Department of Personnel. "Wei Yi was slightly surprised." This person has only been in the bureaucracy for less than a year. "
"Although it was a short time, his father, Yang Shouwen, was the head of the carpenters in the palace. Yang Zhouzhi learned from his father at a young age. He is very proficient in water conservancy and palace construction. Moreover, this person is reliable and meticulous. He has never made a mistake. If he is the one to build the dikes, I think he will be more suitable than Lord Dong. "
Immediately after, the minister said, "This official also thinks that Yang Zhouzhi is more suitable."
"Prince Rong is right."
… …
"Good, then send him." Wei Yi readily agreed. He immediately ordered the Ministry of Works Minister, "Get this done as soon as possible."
"Yes." The Ministry of Works Minister retreated. Then, another minister came forward. "Your Majesty, there have been a lot of refugees in the Min Mountain area. The government has opened the warehouses for disaster relief, but the number of refugees is increasing. Many people are injured. The government has sent people to suppress them, but they do not dare to hurt them. If this continues, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable.
。”
Hearing this, Wei Yi showed a worried expression. He thought for a moment. "Since they are refugees, we should solve the problem of food and clothing. We should immediately prepare more food and transport silver from the capital. We should first solve the problem of food and clothing for the people to prevent more people from getting injured."
The minister was about to accept the order when Jing Rong held a different opinion.
"Distant water can't stop nearby fire. Min Mountain is close to the Southern Fortress. It will take at most half a month to at least seven to eight days to transport silver. By then, it will be too late. Since there are refugees, we must find the root cause. If the imperial court opens the warehouses again and again, no matter how much food there is, it will run out."
"What do you mean?" Wei Yi asked. "The Southern Fortress has a lot of rain in August and September. Many places have flooded, causing the fields to be submerged and the houses to collapse. If we want to provide relief, we must find the root cause of the flood and solve the problem from upstream. There are many canals to divert water to the fields. As for the people, if necessary, we can send the three thousand soldiers stationed in the Southern Fortress.
First, solve the riot, then settle the people. While we open the warehouses, we can solve the flood problem. Then, let the Ministry of Works send officials to solve the problem. Repair what needs to be repaired, and replace what needs to be replaced. Only then can we solve this problem. "
Everyone nodded.
They all agreed!
His words were clear and logical.
The ministers nodded and expressed their agreement.
However, Wei Yi's eyes darkened. His hands on his knees gripped his robe tightly.
Always …
He did not have the right to decide!
An emperor was not as good as a prince.
