The sun rose again, and its warm rays shone upon the land of Holy Egypt.
Ministers gathered one after another in the waiting area outside the conference hall, talking in low voices.
But their expressions were different.
In the past, they should be organizing their own memorials and preparing to report to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
But the atmosphere today is obviously different. At this moment, there is a sense of worry and confusion in the air.
"Did you notice?"
A senior minister of the Ministry of Finance lowered his voice to his colleagues, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has been behaving somewhat...differently than usual lately."
Another elderly military advisor echoed, "More than just different!"
"When I presented the military report a few days ago, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh actually leaned back slightly while sitting! This has never happened before!"
Another official nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
"Also, His Majesty's tone of voice has changed slightly recently. It seems to have a more...lazy feel."
Several older ministers spoke, and then exchanged worried glances with each other.
The Minister of the Interior stroked his beard and said, "It seems to me that our great Majesty is overworked!"
"These days, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has been diligently working on government affairs, busy with countless matters, and has almost no time to rest."
"I heard a while ago that he was studying the defense strategy for the northern border all night long and didn't even have time to eat."
Another official added, "Yes! I also heard that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh hasn't been sleeping well these past few days, and is often still reviewing memorials late into the night!"
An elderly official sighed, "Alas! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has been overthinking things. I'm afraid he's already developed physical and mental problems."
"What should we do now?"
At this time, more and more ministers joined in and discussed the matter one after another.
"Since His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh ascended the throne, he has diligently governed the country, resulting in a continuous increase in grain production and a peaceful and prosperous life for the people!"
"Yes, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh reformed the tax system, reducing the burden on the people of Holy Egypt and increasing the treasury's revenue. He is truly a genius at governing the country!"
The conversation unknowingly turned from worry to praise for the Holy Pharaoh, and everyone could list a list of people-friendly measures taken during Lin Ke's administration.
These are not just empty compliments; they are tangible improvements to the Kingdom and the lives of its residents, changes that every citizen can feel.
"Everyone!"
The Home Secretary raised his voice at the appropriate moment.
"Instead of speculating about His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's condition, why don't we jointly submit a petition, implore His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to take care of himself!"
"Although government affairs are important, the well-being of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is the foundation of the country!"
A general immediately responded: "That's absolutely true!"
"We should advise His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to rest properly and not attend court meetings every day!"
"Our Holy Egypt now has a complete system. Most affairs are handled by officials at all levels. Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh only needs to grasp the general direction!"
The proposal was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
They quickly reached a consensus that they would jointly write a letter asking the Holy Pharaoh to prioritize his health and appropriately reduce the pressure of government affairs.
In their eyes, Lin Ke is not only a high and mighty ruler, but also a guide who leads the country to prosperity.
After the discussion, the ministers straightened their appearance and entered the conference room one after another.
A moment later, as the palace attendants announced loudly that Lin Ke had arrived, everyone immediately knelt down in unison, touching their foreheads lightly to the ground to express the highest respect.
"Everyone, please stand up."
The ministers stood up, but still kept their heads bowed respectfully.
The Minister of the Interior stepped forward and was about to read out the contents of the joint petition, but was interrupted by Lin Ke.
"Before we begin today's meeting, I would like to hear reports from various places on the situation."
The Minister of Agriculture seemed a little surprised, but he quickly gathered his thoughts, bowed respectfully, and began to report.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, the grain production in southern Egypt is currently declining..."
After he finished speaking, Lin Ke gave precise advice.
"Allocation of food reserves to support price stabilization, and additional food and subsidies for local residents."
"Holy Egypt now has enough food. I will not allow any more victims to starve to death."
When the Minister of Agriculture heard this, his eyes widened and he even froze in place for a moment.
"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"I'll do it right away!"
Lin Ke raised her chin slightly and said, "Okay, next one."
Another minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, our newly built canal is currently short of funds and needs..."
Lin Ke took over his words and accurately said what he hadn't finished: "Increase the budget and allocate funds from the treasury."
"It's approved. You can ask Kamul to approve it directly and receive it directly. There's no need to go through the formalities."
At this moment, the minister looked up in astonishment, then quickly lowered his head.
"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Then, they rotate in turn.
Lin responded to every minister's report. For matters that originally required a long period of discussion to decide, Lin Ke made the best decision almost without hesitation.
This is completely different from the procrastination and perfunctory attitude of the previous few days.
Finally, the Minister of Internal Affairs finally seized the opportunity and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, I have something to report."
Lin Ke nodded: "Go ahead."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has been overworked recently. I'm afraid your holy body may be feeling unwell. I am deeply concerned!"
"I implore His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to prioritize the country, rest properly, and temporarily suspend state affairs..."
