The emperor was furious and knelt on the ground above the Golden Palace.

"I don't care how you fight in normal times, but now that the natural disaster is in the air, the people are still crying. If anyone dares to do something at this time, no matter who it is, I will chop off all of your hands! Do you understand?"

"The ministers (ministers, etc.) understand, please appease the emperor."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, immediately draw up the regulations and write them in a booklet and hand them over. From now on, I will start to reduce the quotas and reduce various expenses in the palace. Except for Princess Yide, everything will continue as usual. Decreasing in order..."

This court meeting lasted for more than two hours. King Ling and King Jin lost their temper after returning to the mansion, and then ordered the mansion to reduce the quota, and at the same time called their confidantes to discuss the next regulations.

However, before they reached a conclusion, Su Jin, who was in Shuntian Mansion prison, suddenly confessed that she knew the inside story of Linjiang’s embankment breach, saying that the river’s embankment breach was not a natural disaster, but someone in the capital wanted to destroy the embankment. For the evidence of the salt tax deficit case, the ship carrying the salt tax and tax silver was deliberately sunk on the Linjiang River. In order to prevent people from salvaging the sunken ship and official silver from the river, they secretly blew up the river embankment and completely destroyed the evidence.

As soon as these words came out, Shen Binghuai was startled into a cold sweat, and regardless of how late it was, he immediately went to the palace to face the saint.

When King Jin heard the news, he was extremely annoyed, and kept pacing back and forth in the study: "That Su Jin, can't you find a way to shut her up?"

The confidant at the side shook his head in embarrassment: "The poisoning of Zou Min and Yang Lian in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice earlier has angered the emperor and ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate thoroughly. The purpose of not imprisoning Su Jin in the Ministry of Criminal Justice is to prevent people from silencing people. Shuntian Mansion belongs to Shen Binghuai. The site was cleaned up extremely clean by him, and for Su Jin, an important witness, he sent people to guard it day and night, and there was no room for it."

King Jin pursed his lips slightly, and sighed deeply: "I knew that Jiangnan Yanzheng was a big pit, but I still couldn't resist the temptation and jumped into it. Now if I want to get out, I have to pull other people over the pit. At your feet, keep an eye on King Ling's every move, and absolutely don't let him have the opportunity to slander his father. In addition, order the prefect of Linjiang City to personally confirm the life and death of King Yue. There can be no delay. Keep an eye on King Yu and find a way to disrupt his disaster relief."

"Yes, my lord."

King Jin picked up a glass of wine from a small table on one side, put it on his lips, and took a sip. The clear aroma of the wine lingered in his tongue, making him squint his eyes: "As long as King Jin can't relieve the disaster smoothly, , this king will be able to help his father relieve his worries in time, take this credit, and prepare a generous gift, and send it to Princess Yide's mansion. The princess loves King Yue very much. This emperor brother should take care of his elders on his behalf."

"Yes, the servant will do it now."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials gathered officials with experience in disaster relief to jointly draft the regulations for this disaster relief, and then reported it to the emperor. After the emperor finished reading it, he called King Yu to him and talked to him carefully for an hour before letting him leave the capital and rush to Linjiang City.

When King Yu was in the palace, he sent his servant-in-law to Qinfang Garden to visit Mu Yunyao, thinking that she should know the news by now, maybe there would be some words or letters, and wanted to let him bring it to King Yue. But after he left the palace, he saw the servant who went to inquire, but learned that after arriving at Qinfang Garden, he did not see Mu Yunyao's face at all.

King Yu thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and without further delay, got on his horse and galloped out of Beijing quickly with his hands.

It took six days to make arrangements for disaster relief. After Princess Yide entered the palace, she looked at the tired emperor and softly persuaded her: "The emperor's body is no better than before. Isn't it just to share the emperor's worries at this time with so many officials working under him?"

"Sister Huang, the matter of Junyue..."

Princess Yide turned her head to look at Xu Li: "Remove the tea from the emperor's hand, and replace it with some nourishing soup."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

"Your Majesty, I've heard about Jun Yue's affairs, but this child is auspicious, and I believe he will be fine."

The emperor remained silent for a while, and Xu Li slowly backed away after serving the soup.

After a long time, the emperor finally spoke, and the words were choked with sobs: "Sister Huang, ever since I found out about Junyue's accident, I have been holding on to my heart, and if he is really... After a hundred years, I should How to face the queen... Rou'er will definitely blame me, and I also want to understand a lot. I really shouldn't have treated him so coldly because of the guilt in my heart... How can I be so confused, How can I be sorry for Rou'er..."

Elder Princess Yide looked at the emperor with red eyes. His sideburns already had white hair, and now his face was full of sadness and annoyance, completely lacking the usual imperial majesty. What happened to the empress back then had dealt a great blow to the emperor. He had to recuperate in the palace for three months before he managed to stand up and go to court again.

He and Empress Wei Rou are young couples. No matter how downcast the emperor was at the beginning, the empress was devoted to him, and even put her own life on the line for him in the end...

"Emperor, Rou'er has the most docile personality. She understands the pain in your heart, so she won't blame you."

"Sister Huang, after this incident, I realized that I am really old. If Jun Yue can return safely this time, I will definitely make up for him."

"Well, don't worry, Junyue has you as his father in his care, and he will definitely return safely."

The emperor broke away from the feeling of guilt. Seeing the eldest princess with a sad expression, he couldn't help asking: "Miss Huang, your complexion is not good, but you are not feeling well?"

"I'm fine, but Yao'er..." Elder Princess Yide sighed deeply, "Yao'er left Beijing to find King Yue in Linjiang City."

"What?" The emperor frowned subconsciously, "At the beginning, I didn't know Yunyao's identity, so I didn't object to the matter between her and Junyue, but now..."

Princess Yide sighed: "The emperor is also a person who has been here before, so he should know that emotional matters are the most difficult to control, just like you and Rou'er back then..."

Thinking of the empress, the emperor's eyebrows stretched again, but still with disapproval: "Miss Huang, but there is a wrong generation between them."

"Although they are uncles and nieces in name, they are actually farther in blood than those cousins ​​who are married. However, there is a gap in seniority that makes people feel that they are special. Jun Yue The child is suffering, if one day I know the truth of the year... I feel heartbroken when I think about it, so as an aunt, I can't help but want to love him more." Now that Yunyao has made up her mind, she will do this. The grandmother has to find a way to help her remove the biggest obstacle. As long as the emperor doesn't care about their relationship, other people have no right to intervene.
