The Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Transmigrating to Great Qin, Zhao Qingrui found herself with land and money at home, and a cheat system. To avoid becoming cannon fodder in chaotic times, she brought her father to recruit soldiers...

Chapter 422: Regent of the Retired Emperor

"Sir Meng, has His Majesty replied? Is there anything wrong with His Majesty's health?" Li Si looked at Meng Yi worriedly. Among this group of people, only Meng Yi had the closest relationship with His Majesty, so the question naturally fell on Meng Yi.

"You can see for yourselves. His Majesty didn't say much. He just handed over the government affairs to the Supreme Emperor, and she continued to lead her people on tour." Meng Yi shook his head and took out the letter.

Several people took the letter and read it, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"Since Your Majesty has used a special method to call back the retired emperor, perhaps the retired emperor knows your Majesty's situation. Let's ask the retired emperor when he comes back." Feng Quji said seriously.

Your Majesty is too important to the entire Qin Dynasty, and they dare not be careless in the slightest.

Everyone had a solemn look on their face, but the fact that His Majesty was unwell could not be revealed. If it was known to someone with ulterior motives, it would be troublesome.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, so keep your mouth shut about this matter. If I hear any rumors outside, don't blame me for being ruthless." Feng Quji's eyes swept over everyone, especially those in the cabinet.

Compared with Meng Yi and other colleagues who have worked together for so many years, these cabinet members are all newcomers and not trustworthy.

"Don't worry, Lord Feng, we won't say anything outside." Several people hurriedly said seriously. This matter was too important. They entered the cabinet for high positions. It can be said that if they want to climb up in the future, in addition to looking at the brothers Feng Quji and Feng Jie, they also have to look at the emperor's wishes.

"Anyone who dares to disclose the emperor's physical condition will be charged with treason." Meng Tian clenched the sword in his hand and looked at the people present with a cold face.

"Lord Meng is right. He should be severely punished." Feng Jie looked at Meng Tian in agreement.

The effect of these warnings from several people is still very obvious. At least the people in the cabinet are now much more cautious.

As soon as Ying Zheng got ashore, someone was already waiting for him. Now the road in Daqin is flat, and the return journey is much faster.

They rode at full speed and arrived in Xianyang in five days.

The return of the First Emperor made Feng Quji and others feel certain that both His Majesty and the First Emperor were the mainstay of the Qin Dynasty. As long as they were there, nothing would go wrong.

"Greetings to the Supreme Emperor." Ying Zheng reappeared in the palace, making Feng Quji and the others very excited.

"No need to be so polite, please sit down. It has been several years since I left the court. Please tell me in detail about the current situation of the Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng sat at the top. He was a little uncomfortable with this long-lost feeling.

Without wasting any words, the few of them reported in detail the situation in various parts of Daqin.

It was a day later when Ying Zheng finally understood everything.

Looking at so many things, Ying Zheng couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

There are a lot of new things here, including various newly established departments, all of which were developed by Zhao Qingrui.

The benefits of developing these things are obvious. They make the Qin Dynasty better and the court, a large machine, more sophisticated.

The downside is that there are more things to manage.

These are all good developments for the Qin Dynasty, and Ying Zheng didn't have much to say. The only headache was that he was afraid he would not be able to rest after returning.

"Your Majesty, there are already some signs of drought in Shu and Beidi County. Should we prepare in advance?" Li Si talked about these areas that were experiencing some drought.

Ying Zheng picked up the map and took a look. The places Li Si mentioned were not many, so even if a drought occurred, the impact would not be too great.

"Yes, we will discuss it at the grand court meeting tomorrow." Ying Zheng nodded. Daqin still needs a large number of people. If a drought occurs, it will definitely weaken the population of Daqin. Preparations must be made early.

After finishing the affairs in the palace, Ying Zheng went out for a walk and checked the situation of the Wei River.

The Wei River is still clear, but the water level has dropped a lot. Compared with previous years, the water level has dropped by about two or three feet.

Looking at the situation of the Wei River, Ying Zheng frowned slightly. This was not a good sign. No wonder Li Si brought it up at this time.

After returning, Ying Zheng urgently called Li Si over and asked him to send people to sort out the rise and fall of rivers in various places.

Zhao Qingrui also knew what happened on Ying Zheng's side, but she was feeling very comfortable at the moment. Without that pile of memorials, she felt completely relaxed.

Without all those worries, everything I eat tastes delicious.

Of course, she would be happier if she didn't have to avoid certain foods.

Zhao Qingrui was happy, but Ying Zheng was busy as hell.

He hadn't been involved in state affairs for several years, and as soon as he came back, all the pressure fell on him. Even though he was very powerful now, he couldn't hold on.

He would rather go out and fight those powerful beasts than deal with these complicated government affairs.

However, he really couldn't just leave his daughter alone because of her health condition. Apart from his daughter, he was the only one in the entire Qin Dynasty who could handle these matters.

Suppressing his irritability, Ying Zheng continued to deal with these matters.

Ying Zheng's return and appearance in the court also caused many officials to have more speculations.

But no matter what he thought, he didn't show it on his face.

Whether it is His Majesty or the current Emperor, they are all workaholics. Now that the Emperor is back, they have more burdens on their shoulders and have to work overtime again.

The emperor emeritus is a bit obsessive-compulsive and wants them to do everything to perfection.
