Chapter 122: Take a break for at least three to five years
He unlocked the mechanism of the long sword and took out the imperial edict from it.
"Your Majesty has issued an edict that disaster relief is urgent. From the prefecture to the county government, all matters related to relief and dredging can be regulated.
This is the Imperial Sword. If anyone is found corrupt or disobeys orders, the Governor or his subordinates can execute him first and report to the emperor later."
Qin Zhaoyue held up the imperial edict in his right hand and read out its contents aloud, but he ignored who the edict was issued to.
She looked at the old lady opposite with burning eyes, ""
"The assassination of the imperial heir, the corruption of mercury, the substitution of inferior materials for river embankment materials, which led to the embankment's collapse... the myriad crimes are too numerous to list!
The old lady dared to use her title of county lady to come to the government office and spread rumors to confuse the public. What is her intention?
"You!" County Lord Li was shaking with anger.
"What do you mean by 'you'? Are you planning to act like you're unaware of the corruption in front of the people?
Do you want us to be cautious and give you a lighter sentence because of the importance of flood control?
I tell you, wishful thinking!
"The assassination of the heir to the throne alone is a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan. Thousands of imperial guards and government officials witnessed this. How could he be wrongly accused?"
"Your Highness is concerned about the people and has devoted all day to building dikes and controlling floods.
I didn't have time to take care of you for a while, but you ended up here on your own.
Come, arrest them all and sentence them all after the flood control work is completed."
"yes!"
The imperial guards arrested all the members of the Lu family without any explanation, and covered their mouths roughly without giving them a chance to complain.
It was indeed true that Magistrate Lu was influenced by the sorcerer to carry out the assassination, and it was also true that part of the influence was eliminated by using his life.
If his family members behave themselves, it would be a matter of whether to deal with them or not.
But the old lady insisted on taking a chance on my face, so there was no reason to hesitate.
The imperial edict was so intimidating that the officials knelt on the ground in front of the yamen, all trembling with fear.
With the imperial sword in hand, he can kill anyone below the governor. Who are they? He can kill them at will. How can he not be scared?
The people who came to watch the excitement also knelt on the ground far away, deeply regretting their unwise behavior.
Fortunately, the imperial envoy and his entourage did not blame them. Seeing them return to the county government office, they all breathed a sigh of relief and scattered in a panic.
In the inner hall, Qin Zhaoyue handed the imperial edict and the Shangfang sword to his elder sister.
"Sister, what is this?"
Qin Zhaoqiong already knew everything that happened after he fell into a coma, and naturally knew the content of this imperial edict.
It would be self-deception to say that there was no ups and downs in my heart, but the facts proved that the Queen Mother was indeed far-sighted.
If the situation were reversed, and it was the sixth sister who was poisoned and unconscious, would he be able to calm everything down within half a day?
Seeing that his elder sister didn't take it, Qin Zhaoyue forced it on her.
"This is just a backup plan left by the Queen Mother. Now that my elder sister has been freed from the poison and her cultivation has greatly increased, of course I should hand it over to you."
"But... the Queen Mother gave the power of censorship to my younger sister..."
"You've given me full authority, right? You'll listen to me?"
Qin Zhaoqiong nodded. According to the content of the imperial edict, she also needed to obey orders.
In other words, the person who is truly responsible for flood control and disaster relief has now become the Sixth Sister.
Helping Sixth Sister... She thought about it and it seemed there was nothing unacceptable.
Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand and said, "Since you all listen to me, then I will hand over the power of chastity to my eldest sister. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Hmm...though, it still sounds weird.
Before I could persuade her again, I saw her clasping her hands together. "Sister, using your Qi to save lives is very detrimental to your vitality. You definitely won't be able to recover in a short while, and you won't have the energy to do anything else."
When this was mentioned, Qin Zhaoqiong immediately became nervous, "Sister, is it serious?"
Qin Zhaoyue nodded seriously, "Of course not. It will take at least three to five years to fully recover. Let's go, let's go back and rest."
Having said this, he strode out of the inner hall without waiting for a response.
The three people in the room looked at her back and fell into silence for a moment.
It might be a loss of vitality, after all, it is not easy to cure the poison cast by a third-grade sorcerer.
But if we say recovery takes three to five years...
With her energetic and rosy complexion, it doesn't look like that at all...
She has the imperial edict in her hand and has considerable abilities. If she were to take over the disaster relief affairs, she would definitely have a place in the fight for the throne.
What a good opportunity, and you just... want to give it up?
The Qi was halfway through healing the injury when it suddenly stopped, and the focus was on repairing the embankment and controlling the water first.
Even though Yinzhe stood up to support him, he still had doubts in his heart, but at this moment...
No way, could it be that the Sixth Princess really has no idea about that position?
Qin Zhaoyue didn't care what they thought and went back to the backyard with her hands in her pockets.
At this time, the eldest sister's cultivation has greatly increased, the enemy has revealed its intentions, and with two Xuanji guards in the Divine Martial Realm, what else is there for her to do?
I ate a bit too much at dinner, and it was mostly meat, which was hard to digest.
Qin Zhaoyue rarely felt the urge to exercise, so he reached out and called for Sui Mo.
"Go find some wood and carve out a set of mahjong tiles. Let's help digest our food together."
On a rainy night, the front hall was brightly lit, and so was the backyard.
"bump!"
…
The next day, Qin Zhaoyue slept until he woke up naturally again. How could he seek justice for this?
The sky was dark, and although the rain was not as heavy as before, it continued to rain all night long.
At that time, he sensed that there might be danger, so he asked Taoyao, the alchemist, the magician and the three from Chiyan County to leave the army halfway and disguise themselves as a family to quietly head for Fengjing.
Suimo has now become Qin Zhaoyue's maid, and she is responsible for all her grooming and dressing.
She had been severely disliked before, so she secretly worked hard and finally learned how to put on simple makeup and draw eyebrows.
There aren't so many requirements in this place, and Qin Zhaoyue doesn't like heavy makeup, so just making do is enough.
It was already noon, and after a whole night of exercise, my stomach was already empty.
Just as they were about to have their meal, Qin Zhaoqiong and Yinzhe arrived together.
"Eldest sister, it's just right for us to go together."
Qin Zhaoqiong naturally had no objection.
When Qin Zhaoyue is out, he doesn't have so many rules, so it's no big deal to sit at the same table with the Mo group.
But after the eldest princess and Captain Yinzhe sat down, they left the dining hall on their own accord.
"There's something I want to ask your opinion on."
Qin Zhaoqiong was in charge of the county government office and sent scouts to the surrounding areas.
According to the intelligence just received, rumors were indeed spreading in the surrounding counties.
It was almost identical to the rumors in Longmen County: the River God was enraged, the dam collapsed, yin and yang were reversed, and the country was in danger. That was all there was to it.
"Sixth sister, is there any solution?"
Qin Zhaoyue chuckled. It’s just a war of public opinion. What’s so difficult about that?
