Chapter 436: The Emperor's Action, Greatly Rejoiced - People's Hearts
He Yi walked in from outside. When passing by, he turned around and looked at her, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Then, he saluted Zhu Feng respectfully.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
"Stand up."
Zhu Feng waved his hand and said, "What brings you here?"
He Yi said respectfully, "I have come here to ask Your Majesty about the successor to the Minister of Works."
"Why?"
Nan Yan looked at them in surprise.
Minister of Works? Isn't he Du Siyao's brother? I heard he just became Minister of Works a few days ago.
The successor, could it be that - he has already stepped down?
He Yi turned to look at her bewildered expression, smiled faintly, and said, "The Minister of Works was corrupt and perverted the law. The Emperor investigated the truth and dismissed him from office."
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes curved.
Nan Yan blinked.
What a coincidence?
Du Siyao was convicted in the harem yesterday, and today, her brother was dismissed from office.
But it's okay. Rectifying the administration of officials and eliminating corruption is a good thing. Besides, he is Du Siyao's brother.
Hehe, you deserve it!
She smiled and said, "That's great."
"Yes, that's great," He Yi said, turning to look at Zhu Feng with a half-smile, and said, "The emperor's move is very pleasing to the people."
Zhu Feng glared at him with a stern face: "Such talk!"
He Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
After saying this, he put away his smile and said seriously, "However, I wonder if the Emperor has already chosen a candidate for the position of Minister of Works."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Leave this position vacant for now."
"Free time?" He Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "However, there are still several palaces in the palace that need to be repaired. In addition to shipbuilding, money-making, and the expansion of the canal, the Ministry of Works is short of manpower."
Zhu Feng said, "Shipbuilding, building funds, and expanding the canal are all related to national affairs. Let them go all out. As for the palace repairs, they can be put aside for the time being."
He Yi frowned slightly: "Your Majesty...?"
"I will make a decision after I return from Peking."
“…”
He Yi looked up at him, and a faint light flashed in his deep eyes, as if he understood something.
He lowered his head and said softly, "I obey your command."
Having said that, he prepared to leave.
But just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zhu Feng suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to show you."
Heyi stopped and turned around. Xiao Shunzi hurriedly took the booklet from Zhu Feng's hand and walked over to give it to him.
When He Yi unfolded his clothes, his expression suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty, this—"
Nan Yan watched from the side, holding her breath.
From the first day she met He Yi, she knew that he was a calm and composed person who rarely had emotional fluctuations. Even Zhu Feng could scare him seldom.
However, when he saw what was in the booklet, his face changed in shock.
What's in that pamphlet?
She was curious and wanted to look inside, but of course she couldn't see anything.
He Yi took the booklet and looked at it for a while with a frown, then raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, how did you get these things?"
Zhu Feng said coldly: "You don't need to care how I got it, just do what you should do."
Listening to them playing charades, Nan Yan was getting anxious to death.
What is it exactly?
She couldn't help but stand up carefully from behind her seat.
