"Your Majesty, the most urgent priority is to save lives. After the epidemic stabilizes, we can then try the officials of the two places." A flash of horror passed through Li Si's eyes. The aura of His Majesty made him feel as if a burden of hundreds of pounds was pressing on him, making him a little breathless.
"Yes, come here, summon the head of the medical family, the six ministers, the censor Feng Jie, and the Marquis of Tongwu Wang Ben." Zhao Qingrui was almost mad with rage. Tens of thousands of people had died, and the matter was only reported when it could no longer be concealed.
Now she just wanted to pick up the Ding Qin Sword and chop those bastards who were just sitting there doing nothing into minced meat.
Soon, all the people Zhao Qingrui called came over.
His Majesty summoned me urgently in the middle of the night. Something big must have happened.
When they arrived at Qilin Hall and learned the truth of the matter, they felt their scalps tingling.
"It is my fault for failing to supervise properly. I hope Your Majesty will punish me." Feng Jie quickly stood up to apologize.
"You are indeed guilty. I will give you a chance to make meritorious service while serving your sentence. I order you to thoroughly investigate all officials in Guilin and Xiang counties, as well as officials in the court who are implicated with them." Zhao Qingrui had a cold face.

"I thank Your Majesty very much. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let any official who made a mistake go unpunished." Feng Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Your Majesty did not punish him severely.

Wang Yuan, I order you to be the imperial envoy and bring medicinal materials to Lingnan to provide disaster relief. I allow you to mobilize the grain in the local granary." Zhao Qingrui gave orders one after another.
"Your Majesty, we must also be on guard against places like Sindhu. I'm worried that they will take advantage of the border of our Great Qin to cause chaos." Wang Ben reminded.
"Yes, I almost forgot. Send a message to Li You and ask him to lead the troops to guard the Lingnan border. If any scoundrels violate the border, attack them with gunpowder." Zhao Qingrui took a deep breath. The Qin Dynasty was developing too well now. Even if it conquered places like the Xiongnu, the Qin Dynasty was still fat meat in the eyes of other countries.
At the court meeting on the second day, the atmosphere in the court was a bit solemn. Zhao Qingrui looked at these ministers and couldn't help but feel angry. It seemed that the supervision was not strong enough.
