As a series of rhythmic popping sounds rang out, a world was created where only Emperor Yuan was injured.
He tried his best to control himself from making any sound, but the result was the opposite of what he wanted.
The originally solemn and dignified Hall of Supreme Harmony now had an indescribable sense of ridiculousness.
Seeing that the expressions of all the civil and military officials were very unnatural, Emperor Yuan felt strongly that he might need to die now.
Otherwise, he would not be able to face the civil and military officials normally.
Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes and looked around, then felt that she needed to break this awkward situation.
Otherwise, if we remain stuck here, when will the morning court session end?
Just as she was about to speak, Li Fuquan spoke up to rescue Emperor Yuan.
"Your Majesty, don't you want everyone to taste the sweet potatoes? How about... serving the sweet potatoes now?"
Emperor Yuan did not respond.
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately asked happily: "Is it roasted sweet potato?"
Li Fuquan nodded slightly.
"I want to eat it, Your Majesty, can you give me one?"
Emperor Yuan looked at Jiang Yueyang and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Jiang Yueyang added something that made people want to strangle her to death.
"I am not afraid of farting."
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Li Fuquan: “…”
Minister Jiang: Don’t mention the “farting” issue anymore. Do you think Your Majesty isn’t embarrassed enough?
Civil and Military Officials: Hahahaha…
Finally, in order to allow the morning court to continue and to make the "fart" incident pass quickly, Emperor Yuan ordered people to bring roasted sweet potatoes.
The roasted sweet potatoes had just been served, and the burnt aroma filled the hall.
The civil and military officials sniffed subconsciously. It smelled so good!
After a while, they each had a roasted sweet potato.
Jiang Yueyang was also favored and held an extra-large roasted sweet potato in her hand.
She couldn't wait to break the sweet potato into two halves, and then bit into it with a happy look on her face.
Seeing that she started eating without waiting for His Majesty to let her start, and ate so happily, Bai Ze couldn't help licking his lips.
He secretly glanced at Emperor Yuan above, thought about it, broke the roasted sweet potato into two halves and started eating.
Emperor Yuan glanced at Jiang Yueyang, who had already finished eating half of the roasted sweet potato, and waved his hand and said, "You all, please taste the roasted sweet potato."
Upon hearing this, all civil and military officials began to taste the roasted sweet potatoes.
With just one bite, the sweet, soft and delicate taste completely conquered their taste buds.
Especially in this autumn and winter season, eating a hot sweet potato can warm your heart and stomach.
Hmm...it warms my hands.
Seeing that the civil and military officials were eating with such relish, Emperor Yuan couldn't help but shift his gaze to the roasted sweet potatoes on the plate.
He wants to eat another baked sweet potato...
But just as he stretched out his evil hand towards the roasted sweet potato, a "plop" sound made him lose all his appetite.
A roasted sweet potato was quickly eaten up, and the civil and military officials and Jiang Yueyang were still reluctant to leave.
Emperor Yuan asked, "How do you think it tastes?"
"Your Majesty, I think it tastes delicious." The Duke of England responded first.
"I also think it's delicious. Moreover, I find sweet potatoes very filling, but the size of a fist makes me feel a little full."
"Yes, yes, Lord Su and I feel the same way."
"If sweet potatoes are really as productive as Master Xiao Jiang said, then the people won't have to go hungry anymore."
Jiang Yueyang interrupted and said, "Sweet potatoes are indeed filling, but eating too much is hard to digest and will cause frequent gas. I don't recommend eating sweet potatoes as a staple food."
Emperor Yuan: ...Can't we just let the fart thing go?
Minister Jiang quickly said, "Sweet potatoes have many uses. Even if they are not used as a staple food, they can greatly alleviate the pressure of food shortage."
"Yes, just like the sweet potato vermicelli that Master Xiao Jiang mentioned last time."
Jiang Yueyang nodded. "Sweet potato vermicelli and noodles have similar functions. They can be used as a staple food and taste good."
"In this case, I have decided to promote the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes starting next year. Do you have any objections?"
All the civil and military officials shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
After the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes was finalized, the Minister of Personnel came out to say that all the examination papers had been marked, and Emperor Yuan then discussed the time of the palace examination with the civil and military officials.
A quarter of an hour later, the palace examination was scheduled for three days later.
Jiang Yueyang found the right opportunity to step out and said, "Your Majesty, in view of the crimes committed by County Magistrate Zhu, I would like to make a suggestion to you."
"explain."
"I want to establish an "Inspectorate" so that people who have nowhere to seek justice can get justice from the "Inspectorate."
On the way back, she kept thinking about how to put the idea of the "report box" into practice.
But after much thought, she decided that it was unrealistic to set up a "reporting box" in every state and county.
First of all, there is the question of whether the people seeking redress can submit their petitions.
Maybe they died before they even filed the lawsuit.
Secondly, handling cases requires every second counts.
By the time the imperial court sent people to check the reporting box, the best time for investigation had already passed and the evidence might have already been destroyed.
By then, even if we know who the murderer is, there will be no evidence.
Emperor Yuan stared at Jiang Yueyang for a moment, "Tell me how this Supervisory Office operates."
"This is what I think. The Supervisory Office of the capital is the general office, and the Supervisory Offices of the states are branch offices. The case is..."
"Wait a minute." Emperor Yuan interrupted her, "You mean the court wants to establish a branch of the Supervisory Department in each state?"
"Yes."
"Do you know how much manpower, material resources and financial resources that would cost?"
After hearing what Emperor Yuan said, Jiang Yueyang did not answer but asked: "Your Majesty, are you unwilling to spend that money for the people of Daxia?
Moreover, most of the court’s money comes from the people, so it should be taken from the people and used for the people.”
Emperor Yuan was at a loss for words to refute. Didn't he say that he was unlearned since childhood? Why did he keep saying so many great principles?
"Forget it, just continue."
Jiang Yueyang continued: "If the parties still have doubts after the case has been heard by the county government, they can submit their doubts and apply for a retrial by the Supervisory Department."
At this time, Lord Wei asked, "What if the parties deliberately delay this to overturn all previous evidence?"
"So the doubts provided by the parties must be completely established, and the ability of the inspector general must also be strong!"
Jiang Yueyang looked at His Majesty, "Therefore, I hope Your Majesty will allow me to appoint officials to the Supervisory Department."
"I have not yet agreed to establish the Supervisory Department."
"I know that Your Majesty is a wise ruler and would certainly like to see a world without injustice and a peaceful and prosperous sea and river."
Hearing such bold words, Emperor Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips, "You are so arrogant! Are you so sure that the officials of the Supervisory Department will definitely give the people fairness and justice?"
"I remember your majesty once praised me for having a pair of sharp eyes. I believe that the official I choose will be a fair and honest official."
"What if you are wrong?" Emperor Yuan smiled and tried to scare her. "To die as a token of apology?"
"Forget it then. I have nothing to say about the matter of the Supervisory Department."
Emperor Yuan: “…”
