After he finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent.
The white-haired old tutor stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"I think that we need to verify the rebellion of the Northern Di people on the border before making a decision. After all, the national treasury is not full now, and the country is in a period of chaos."
"I beg you, Your Majesty, to think twice before you act!"
Liu Ying knelt down tremblingly and bowed deeply to Emperor Jian'an. His thin body trembled slightly.
In this situation, Su Lili, who was sitting on the dragon throne, sighed sadly after receiving the new plot.
[Alas, what does Liu Taifu know? Advise Father to stop the loss in time. This time he went against the majority of the ministers and must have offended a lot of rebels! ]
[Unfortunately, my father did not listen to the advice. Liu Taifu died to show his determination, which aroused the anger of many poor scholars and caused them to cause trouble. My father's reputation in the Great Yong Kingdom is in jeopardy, which is a good thing for the rebels! ]
What?! This kind of thing actually happened!
Emperor Jian'an's expression changed slightly, and a chill rose behind him.
...
...
As we all know, Tutor Liu is a veteran of three dynasties and once served as the emperor's teacher. Over the years, he has had enormous influence in both the court and the opposition.
If something terrible really happened in the court, the consequences would probably be...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Liu Ying mistakenly thought that Emperor Jian'an was angry, and his body trembled even more violently, but his eyes remained firm and his back was straight.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to think twice. If Your Majesty insists on being fooled, then I am willing to shed blood in the court and die to show my determination!"
Just as Taifu Liu was about to commit suicide by colliding his head, he was stopped by Wang Yun, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Jian'an.
When she raised her eyes, she met the gentle gaze of Emperor Jian'an and immediately burst into tears.
Emperor Jian'an walked down the steps, personally helped Liu Taifu up, and patted the back of his bony hands, "I know you are thinking about me, and I am not someone who can be fooled. The Northern Di Rebellion is full of doubts. I will never easily allocate funds without a thorough investigation."
"Your humble servant, your humble servant..."
Master Liu's beard trembled and his tears fell even more violently.
Following Emperor Jian'an's eye signal, Wang Yun immediately brought a stool and asked Tutor Liu to sit at the head of the throne.
It was obvious that Tutor Liu was favored, which made the ministers in front of the steps fearful and dared not harm him easily.
The allocation of funds was shelved and Emperor Jian'an wanted to withdraw from court, but soon another minister came forward.
"Your Majesty, I have a report to make. There has been a sudden outbreak of plague in Dongyu recently. Refugees are roaming around everywhere, causing the plague to spread. Your Majesty, I am helpless and can only ask Your Majesty to make the decision!"
The atmosphere became tense again. Su Lili, who was sitting on the dragon throne, shook her head slightly.
[This is true. The plague originated because someone poisoned the well water. As long as people continue to drink the poisoned water, the plague will be difficult to resolve.]
[The best way is to collect the purple grass, grind it and take it, then sprinkle a large amount of purple grass paste in the well, secretly investigate and find out the poisoner and publicly execute him to save the people's hearts! ]
Listening to his daughter's cute baby voice, Emperor Jian'an's frown couldn't help but relax.
Although I really want to briefly talk about Su Lili's content, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, I still have to go around in circles.
"I heard that there is a herb called Ziji grass in the suburbs, which may have a certain effect on the plague. So, I will appoint the imperial physician to try Ziji grass on the patients. If it is effective, I will promote it."
Turning his head, Emperor Jian'an looked at Wang Yun beside him. Wang Yun immediately understood and shouted in a shrill voice.
"Announce, Master Xue from the Imperial Medical Bureau is here to see you!"
Soon, a young imperial physician in a blue official robe walked into the hall calmly and paid his respects to Emperor Jian'an.
"Your humble servant Xue Zhen from the Imperial Medical Bureau pays respect to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
"I have appointed you to lead the imperial doctors to the epidemic-stricken areas with herbs including the purple Ji grass to treat illnesses and save lives. If you succeed in curbing the epidemic, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Xue Zhen bowed deeply, then stood up and took the bright yellow imperial edict.
"Very good, we can leave the court now. General Wei Hu, please stay. I have something to say to you alone."
After he finished speaking, Emperor Jian'an stood up, and left with Su Lili in his arms amid the cheers of the court officials.
When they arrived at the Golden Dragon Palace, Su Lili was already very sleepy, and her little head noded noisily, which was very cute.
"Someone, take the little princess to rest. Remember not to wake her up."
Soon, a little palace maid who was unfamiliar to her came and took Su Lili away.
On the other side, facing the future treason Wei Hu, Emperor Jian'an also specially launched some tests, hoping to find some clues.
As the sky gradually darkened, Concubine Xian kept waiting for the little princess to return, and she became anxious as an ant on the hot pan.
"Hasn't it been a long time since the court was dismissed? Why hasn't Li Li come back yet? Is she still accompanying His Majesty in the council hall?"
Nanny Li was also very anxious. After all, the little princess had just been born. What should she do if she encountered any danger?
Time passed bit by bit, and soon, the little palace maid who went out to investigate came back.
"Your Highness, the little princess was taken away by a palace maid after the court session. There has been no news since then. I'm afraid she has been tricked by someone... Do I need to inform His Majesty?"
"Not only should we inform His Majesty, but also the Queen. They love Li Li very much and would definitely not want anything to happen to Li Li! Go now!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
After paying her respects, the young palace maid left in a hurry without hesitation.
Half an hour later, the news of the little princess' disappearance spread throughout the palace. Concubine Xian fell ill due to anxiety, and Emperor Jian'an was furious.
After a careful search, they finally found the body of the palace maid in a dry well. In her arms, there was half of Su Lili's embroidered swaddling clothes and a pair of small shoes.
"Damn it, how dare you attack my little princess? Even if I have to turn the entire capital upside down, I must find her!"
Emperor Jian'an was furious and ordered people to carefully examine the body of the palace maid and report any new clues in time.
On the other side, when Su Lili woke up again, she was sitting in a small wooden barrel drifting, not knowing where she was going.
Su Lili recited the mantra, her little face flushed red, and finally she recovered some of her magic. She drove the small wooden barrel to the shore, and used her hands and feet to climb out of the barrel to the shore.
As soon as she got ashore, her vision was blocked. Su Lili looked up and found herself surrounded by a group of homeless thugs.
"Tsk tsk, such a young girl is left alone, what a sin, how about selling you to a brothel so you can live a good life? You look so seductive at such a young age, you will be perfect for serving men when you grow up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter broke out all around.
