Emperor Dewu looked at him coldly. He lowered his head and dared not speak.
Emperor Dewu snorted coldly, "What? Are you mute and can't speak anymore?"
The minister raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his long sleeve. "Your Majesty, it is my fault that I failed to discipline my subordinates. I will definitely discipline them properly and prevent them from making the same mistake again."
Emperor Dewu's gaze fell on him indifferently. He felt very nervous. What, what happened?
Is what he just said okay?
There's nothing wrong with it!
"Your Majesty?"
Emperor Dewu: ...
"Now that you know what went wrong, how do you solve this problem? Don't you have any ideas?"
Do you want me to teach you bit by bit?
Oh! Oh! So that's it!
The minister breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only just beginning to come back. Wait, it was too early to relax now! He hadn't figured out a solution yet!
The minister swallowed his saliva and said, "I think we should first solve the housing problem of the people in Caoyang County. I think we should first have the prefect send people to rebuild their homes, and then provide them with porridge to help them through this difficult time."
The minister was very nervous, not knowing whether the emperor would approve of his answer.
Emperor Dewu hummed lightly, "These things all need to be done."
"What about the refugees who escaped? If you were in this situation, how would you arrange it?"
The minister thought carefully and said, "In short, let them stay at the post station first, give them clean clothes, send them some food, and ask them if they are willing to return to Caoyang County. If they are willing, send them back. If not, encourage them to find work here."
Emperor Dewu nodded slightly and said, "Let's do as you wish."
"Let the prefect pay for the reconstruction of their homes. If he is unwilling, bring his head to me directly. In addition, after the homes are rebuilt, the farmland must also be prepared for the people."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes!" the minister replied, "I understand."
"Okay, now that you understand, let's do it!" Emperor Dewu waved his hand.
"Yes." The minister saluted and left in a hurry.
As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty is still as great as he was in the past!"
"When will the little princess return to the palace?"
Every time at this time, he missed Her Royal Highness the Little Princess especially. If Her Royal Highness the Little Princess were here, His Majesty would definitely not be so angry.
The minister sighed and almost ran out of the palace. He had to quickly complete the tasks assigned by the emperor.
He wrote a letter and asked someone from the "Flash Delivery" shop to deliver it to the prefect, asking him to repair the house in Caoyang County as soon as possible.
After writing the letter, he went to the dilapidated temple to see the refugees, took them to have a good meal, arranged for them to stay in the post station, and found a tailor in the shop to measure their sizes and make clothes for them.
"All the clothes will be delivered in a few days."
The minister comforted them, "This time it was the prefect who was wrong. We only learned about this today..."
"It's not that I didn't want to care about you before, but I really didn't know about this matter."
"As soon as the Emperor learned of this, he immediately sent for me to help you."
As he spoke, the minister shed two tears.
When the people of Caoyang County heard him say this, they all spoke to comfort him, "Don't cry, we all understand."
"The prefect doesn't care about our lives, so why would he report it?"
"It is our blessing to be remembered by you and the emperor."
"Yes, yes, now that you know about this, we can finally live a good life without having to live in fear."
"Thank you and the Emperor!"
Minister: "This is all ordered by the emperor. If you want to thank me, thank the emperor!"
"You can all stay here for now. If you want to go back to Caoyang County, I will arrange for someone to escort you back."
"Caoyang County, we will never give up!"
The people of Caoyang County shed tears, "Of course we have to go back. Caoyang County is our root!"
"When will you leave for Caoyang County? We will go with you."
"Okay, then I'll pick you up on the day I leave."
He also wanted to go. He wanted to supervise the stupid prefect, but he was worried that the prefect was confused and would not help them after reading the letter he wrote.
The minister appeased them here and then left.
The next day, Concubine Liang heard many people discussing this matter. She was surprised and said, "Your Majesty is really fast!"
"It's just as my sister said. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of."
Concubine Liang gave Concubine Xian a thumbs up and said, "Sister, you are really great!"
What a master!
Concubine Xian smiled gently, "Let's go!"
"Okay!"
They got into the carriage and continued their journey.
Dong'er and Qiuxiang sat in the carriage. They looked at each other and said in unison, "We can't fall asleep today!"
As soon as the words fell, both of them burst out laughing.
When they woke up yesterday, the empress and her friends had already returned from their shopping trip. They were frightened to find themselves sleeping in the carriage.
The guards guarding the carriage told them that the queen and others were waiting for them in the private room upstairs, and they could go up directly when they woke up.
They thought they would be scolded, but the ladies just smiled and asked them to sit down and eat without punishing them.
Concubine Liang also said, "Since we are here to have fun, please do as you please and relax as you please. You don't have to think about serving us, we can do it all."
