The two of them quickly arrived at the Wanshou Palace, and Wang An took Chen Qiuyu in.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao was sitting on the dragon throne.
This was the first time I met Chen Qiuyu.
Chen Qiuyu looks to be around thirty years old, with regular features, handsome appearance, thin figure, and bright eyes. It can be seen that he is a determined person.
"Your Majesty, I am Chen Qiuyu. I pay my respects to you." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Chen Qiuyu hurriedly and respectfully saluted Zhu Youxiao.
"Okay, no need to be so polite." Zhu Youxiao said directly.
When Chen Qiyu stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued, "I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, I can see that you are a man of great talent. You have done a good job in Henan."
"Thank you very much for your praise, Your Majesty." Chen Qiuyu said quickly.
This was Zhu Youxiao's last compliment to Chen Qiyu. As for the matter of Henan, that was the end of it. Zhu Youxiao would not discuss it in detail with him, but there was one thing he still had to do.
Zhu Youxiao then said, "I have just ascended the throne and have been raised in the inner palace, so I don't know much about the outside world. Although I know the sufferings of the people, I have never seen them before."
"You've been an official in Henan for so many years, and you've submitted a secret petition impeaching Prince Fu. Although I've sent people to investigate, it's still a bit vague. I want to know how the people of Henan are doing. Tell me about it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Qiuyu quickly agreed.
He did not expect that His Majesty was so concerned about the suffering of the people in Henan, and he was quite moved. At the same time, he knew that he was not wrong. The current His Majesty was indeed a man of broad mind and courage, as well as compassion.
Such an emperor is what the people of the world most want, and it is also what officials like himself most want.
So Chen Qiuyu opened up and talked about the sufferings of the people in Henan: they couldn't survive without land; when natural disasters and man-made disasters happened, the people were so miserable and had no food to eat.
Zhu Youxiao listened intently, his expression becoming more and more solemn, and his eyes showing more and more pity.
After Chen Qiyu finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao said in a low voice: "The people's lives are so difficult. This is all my fault. I didn't do my job well."
"Your Majesty, please do not think so."
Chen Qiyu quickly stepped forward and consoled him, "Now that Your Majesty has punished the corrupt officials in Henan, severely punished Prince Fu, and returned the land he had embezzled to the people, the people of Henan will surely live a much better life. This is all due to Your Majesty's kindness, and the people of Henan will undoubtedly be grateful for your kindness."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Qiuyu and nodded slightly.
This person is good. He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and he also knows how to speak.
Zhu Youxiao asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, there are still many vassal kings in Henan and other places. The land of the people is seriously annexed and the people have no place to live. This is a great disaster for the world." Chen Qiuyu said after hesitating for a moment.
Originally, Chen Qiuyu didn't want to say it, but seeing that His Majesty was so wise and brave, he decided to say what he wanted to say.
