Chapter 24: Imperial Observatory, let’s all disperse!
"This, this..." Feng Ying was so scared that she collapsed on the ground, her face turned pale.
Your Majesty was deceiving him just now?
It’s over!
It's all over!
The fifth princess was not killed, but he got himself involved!
"Hmph! Come, drag Feng Ying away and torture him severely! I want to see how he got his position as the Imperial Observatory!"
[Eh? Eh!]
[What a powerful scumbag dad! How did he know Feng Ying was a fake? ]
[It seems this princess's scumbag father isn't just cruel and brainless! Isn't he quite smart? How could he still be fooled by Yu Xunhuan?]
Emperor Beijing gritted his teeth and snorted.
When did Yu Xunhuan fool him?
It was obvious that I was just watching her perform!
If he hadn't considered that she had once saved his life, would he have looked at her differently?
Humph! The little thing knows nothing at all!
Feng Ying wailed as he crawled forward. "Your Majesty, this is unjust! The Fifth Princess is truly a disaster! The richest man in Jiangnan, yes, the richest man in Jiangnan definitely didn't give birth to a son. He must have concealed it. Your Majesty, this humble servant..."
Seeing the ashen expression on Emperor Bei Jing's face, Eunuch Hai stepped forward and said:
"How dare you talk nonsense! Drag him out and slap him in the face until he can't speak anymore."
Eunuch Hai has been able to serve this top power for many years, so his vision is naturally very good.
Isn't this treating His Majesty as a fool?
After Feng Ying was dragged away, the entire court fell into deathly silence again.
All that could be heard was Feng Ying's wailing outside the hall, which soon died down.
The other few Imperial Astronomical Observatory officials knelt on the ground and trembled.
Feng Ying... Feng Ying had actually been talking nonsense before?!
They even thought he was so great and kept flattering him!
Emperor Beijing's cold and gloomy gaze fell on the other members of the Imperial Observatory, and his fingers swept over the people below.
Suddenly it fell on one of them.
"Come and tell me, there's a severe drought in the north. When will it rain?"
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously. How could he calculate it?
But there was no other way, so he had to pretend to count on his fingers.
Facing the gaze of Emperor Beijing, my scalp almost exploded.
About a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Beijing sneered and said, "Why, my dear, can't you figure it out?"
Wang Jiu lay on the ground, trembling and humbly saying, "Your Majesty, calculating the secrets of heaven is extremely demanding and cannot be done in a short time. Your humble servant, your humble servant..."
[Tsk! If you can't do it, just say you can't. Pretending! Isn't it just predicting the heavens? Yuanyuan can do it too!]
[Hmm! In half a quarter of an hour, someone will come in anxiously to report that disaster victims have entered the city and are causing trouble!]
Emperor Beijing narrowed his eyes slightly and imitated the movements of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, counting on his fingers for a moment.
He stared at Wang Jiu coldly, "See through the secrets of heaven? I can do that too! I calculated that in half a quarter of an hour someone will come in to report that there are disaster victims causing trouble!"
"I've calculated that in half a month, there will be heavy rain in the north! The drought will be resolved."
"My dear, do you believe it or not?"
All the officials dared not even breathe a word. When did His Majesty start talking nonsense like this?
Wang Jiu lay on the ground, sweating profusely in anxiety. He didn't know whether to go back or not.
How should he answer this?
[∑(′△｀)?! What happened to this scumbag dad? When did he open his third eye? How could he even know this?]
When Emperor Beijing heard Yuan Yuan's exclamation, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Open the third eye?
That’s right!
I opened your third eye!
Duke Yu was speechless as he now fully realized a very serious problem.
That is, Your Majesty can also hear the voice of your granddaughter.
Thinking of his granddaughter calling him "bad dad" from time to time, Duke Yu's heart was beating fast.
No, I must tell my daughter about this.
Just when Wang Jiu couldn't stand His Majesty's gloomy aura anymore, a young eunuch suddenly ran in hurriedly from the door.
He ran while shouting hurriedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
Arriving at the main hall, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, some of the refugees fleeing famine from the north have rushed into the city and are frantically snatching food from the people!"
"The Imperial Guards have already rushed to the city. Your Majesty, please make the final decision!"
Wang Jiu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and looked at His Majesty in disbelief.
Your Majesty... can he really predict the secrets of heaven?
Not only was Wang Jiu shocked, but the other ministers also widened their eyes in disbelief.
When did our Majesty become so powerful?
Emperor Beijing did not pay attention to their expressions, but was also shocked in his heart. The little thing was indeed extraordinary.
The calculation was accurate to the last detail.
He couldn't help but look down at Yuanyuan in his arms. At this moment, the other party was staring at him in surprise with his big round eyes.
Emperor Beijing felt a little guilty.
He clenched his fist to his lips and coughed softly.
"What are your thoughts on this matter, my dear ministers? How should these disaster victims be dealt with?"
The Minister of Revenue stepped out first and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should first distribute porridge outside the city to help stabilize the victims."
"Wait half a month, if it really rains heavily, these people will naturally disperse."
"As for the disaster victims who broke into the city, we can't just let them go. We'll punish them by making them help build temporary shelters! If they don't finish their work, they won't be allowed to eat!"
[Hey, this old man is quite interesting. What he said actually coincides with Yuanyuan's.]
This is Shen Qingzhi, the Minister of Revenue. He's a very good official, but he's too kind. He uses his monthly salary to support the people. He even doesn't want to change his own pants, which are covered in patches.
"Puff, cough, cough..."
Duke Yu, who was listening and nodding repeatedly, almost choked to death on his own saliva, and his cheeks turned red.
There's no need to mention that all the pants are patched, right?
Shen Qingzhi didn't understand why Duke Yu suddenly started coughing violently, and couldn't help but glance back at him.
He asked, "Does Duke Yu have any other good ideas?"
Duke Yu pounded his chest and waved his hands, "No, no! I just caught a cold, so I'm coughing like crazy."
[Wuwuwu... Grandpa must have had his luck taken away again, which is why his health is getting worse.]
[I have to leave the palace as soon as possible to help Grandpa find the evil creature.]
[Hungry... so hungry... dizzy from hunger! ]
Dizziness! ?
Emperor Beijing's expression suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly holding Yuan Yuan, his eyes falling on the Minister of Revenue.
"Just follow Mr. Shen's method! The Ministry of Personnel will assist you!"
He turned and walked away, but halfway through, he turned back and looked at the people from the Imperial Observatory.
"Come here! Bring these people from the Imperial Observatory away! And find out who is selling official positions behind them!"
"Also, from today onwards, the position of the Imperial Observatory will be abolished! I don't need a bunch of charlatans disrupting the government!"
After saying that, he hurried away holding Yuanyuan, so fast that he almost ran.
Eunuch Hai shouted "Dismiss the court" and ran out.
The people in the Imperial Observatory were like eggplants hit by frost, completely wilted.
Damn Feng Ying!
It’s all his fault!
Why do you insist on saying that the fifth princess is a disaster?
Now look what happened! Not only was the Imperial Observatory completely disbanded, but their lives were also in danger!
【Milk! Yuanyuan wants milk! 】
Before Yuanyuan entered Changle Palace, the wailing sound was heard first.
Concubine Yu rushed out anxiously, and as she ran, she ordered Lixiang, "Quick! Go get the milk I asked you to heat up and give it to the Fifth Princess!"
Lixiang didn't dare to delay and hurried to bring it out.
【Milk! 】
Yuanyuan stretched out his little paws, grabbed the edge of the porcelain bowl, bent his body with great effort, and began to drink it up with big gulps.
Concubine Yu was afraid that she would choke, so she patted her back.
"Dear baby, drink slowly, don't choke."
Yuanyuan licked the last mouthful of milk, then lay contentedly in her arms, closed his eyes and looked sleepy.
"You don't understand, mother. My scumbag father took me to court early in the morning and didn't even give me milk. I'm almost starving!"
An unnatural look flashed across the face of the scumbag father, Emperor Beijing. This little thing had been watching the excitement for such a long time, but she never said she was hungry?
[Pu Pu, the Imperial Observatory has been disbanded. That scumbag dad shouldn't believe that I'm a disaster star and wants to kill me, right?]
"What?!" Yu Fei was so frightened that her hands trembled and she almost dropped Yuan Yuan to the ground.
