Capital city.
In the Golden Palace, all officials bowed their heads.
The emperor reclined in his dragon throne, his right hand resting on a bright yellow ambergris pillow. His demeanor was heavy, like the calm before a storm, oppressive and gloomy. All the ministers bowed their heads, and the hall was hushed.
"My dear Liu Mo." A deep voice sounded.
A man stepped out from among the officials. He was dressed in red brocade court robes, looking dignified and upright, his face rosy. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty is here."
"I have been very worried these days."
The emperor's sharp eyes fell on Liu Mo like a knife blade. Although his tone was slow and careless, all the officials knew that the emperor was testing him.
"I am willing to relieve your majesty's worries." Liu Mo suddenly clenched his hands in Hongluan's sleeves and answered in a cold voice.
"Although the Huan'an floods have been over for a month, I only received the news in the past few days. Perhaps the land route has been destroyed by the water, or the sea route is impassable."
The emperor sighed, his slightly wrinkled hand caressing the handle of the throne. The crown rustled in response, bringing a touch of life to the silent hall. "You will follow my orders and lead your men to clear a path. Bring a hundred taels of gold and go to Huan'an City to rescue the suffering people."
"My lord, I obey the order."
Liu Mo took Zun Yi's orders and retreated. When he passed by Prime Minister Liu beside him, he caught a glimpse of a sarcastic smile. He secretly suppressed the anger in his eyes and restrained his expression.
We cannot fall out with Liu Zongrui at this critical juncture. Great things can be accomplished without paying attention to trivial matters, and we still have a long way to go before we can achieve them.
After the court session, Liu Mo left the capital in a mighty procession that afternoon, accompanied by a team of imperially appointed soldiers.
…
These days, Shen Yanjin's name has been widely spread among the people of Huan'an City. Some say that he is the Wenqu Immortal Lord sent from heaven to save people from suffering, while others say he is the Taibai Immortal Lord and the Yue Lao Immortal Lord. The rumor is so widespread that it is incredible.
But the person involved didn't care at all. He just listened to the people's sentiments, comforted the common people, and took in refugees every day. He did everything that the government didn't do.
The current situation is not very turbulent and the impact is not great. The Lord of Huan'an City turned a blind eye to it. Due to the transactions in public and private, the Lord of Huan'an City appointed Shen Yanjin as the second-highest official besides the Lord of the City.
This is considered a private seal.
However, the official position was not high-ranking, and he was below the city lord, so no one dared to say anything.
It was difficult for those minor officials who tried hard to show off in front of the Lord of Huan'an City. They came from other places to provide assistance, held a dinner, received some small gifts, and were then sent away perfunctorily.
The officials in the inner city looked at each other, wishing to drag down the newly promoted senior official Shen Yanjin and start a fight to bully others.
Xiao Xu had a boring month. Not only did he not see that little bastard Shen Yanjin all day long, but Qiu Xiaoan was also assigned to do other things. Every day, he did nothing but poke at the flowers and plants exposed by the receding tide in the yard, or he was bored and talked to his fellow creatures.
Occasionally, a few people came, but they were just minor officials who wanted to show off in front of Shen Yanjin.
Liu Qianfo, this evildoer, never comes early or late, but chooses to come on the days when Shen Yanjin is out of the city. I always feel that he has bad intentions.
"I heard from others that your name is Fat Chen. Hmm... this name suits you very well."
He pinched a piece of cake, supported his chin with his fair hand and spoke with a smile. The wide-sleeved outer garment in the color of glazed red phoenix slid gently with his movements, and the pleasant sound of jewelry jingled. His peach blossom eyes flickered, and his handsome and beautiful facial features were still childish.
If you say that Shen Yanjin is a little turtle with the appearance of a celestial being, it is something you can only hope for but not imagine.
Then...Liu Qianfo is the ideal in the world, which can be desired but not obtained.
But no one expected that such a proud and powerful man would end up like that.
Maybe the author thinks this is natural and it's just the death of a supporting male character.
But Liu Qianfo was one of the male supporting characters who died the most miserably. At that time, Xiao Xu was still watching him as an outsider, but when he really met Liu Qianfo and knew what kind of person he was, he no longer had the same attitude.
