At sunrise on this day, the memorial to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River was rushed to Kyoto by eight hundred miles.
Although Yan Li had secretly made arrangements to relocate some people, after all, there was no imperial decree from the emperor, and large-scale relocation was not possible. So although the casualties this time were less than what Rong Changan expected, there were still a lot of victims!
When the memorial to the disaster was sent to the imperial study, Li Hai had just been explained publicly by Mr. Yuan Bao.
Li Hai saw that it turned out to be a memorial to the flood, and was so suddenly furious, "Since I ascended the throne, the country has been prosperous and the people are safe, and the world is peaceful! Why is there a sudden flood?"
Eunuch Yuan Bao, the messenger, and the few present here did not dare to show their air, and were trembling with trembling, their legs were trembling!
"Come here, pass the decree to Dong Wanshan, Minister of the Household Department, and let him deal with it!"
Li Hai directly asked the Minister of the Household Department to deal with the matter, and went to the harem to find the concubine Yue! He just thought of a way to make her happy.
Entering the palace, he saw his concubine staring blankly at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Li Hai saw that Concubine Yue was not happy, and his heart ached as if being pinched, "Mingyue? Mingyue?"
Mingyue was suddenly embraced by Li Hai, feeling extremely disgusted in her heart, but she didn't dare to resist, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Li Hai was very happy to see the concubine Yue paying attention to him, "Mingyue, the weather has been hot recently, I'll come and see you, are you used to it?"
Yuebi nodded politely, "Everything is fine!"
Seeing the sweat overflowing from Yue Concubine's forehead, Li Hai suggested, "Shall I take you to live in the Mountain Resort for a while? The summer in the Mountain Resort is very cool, you must like it!"
Mingyue refused in every possible way, "Then Your Majesty, haven't you been working lately?"
Li Hai thought that Mingyue was afraid of delaying his work, so his mood brightened instantly, "It's okay, there is nothing serious in the court. Let's set off tomorrow!"
Mingyue could only nod her head in agreement, because Rong Changan would definitely not arrange for her to leave the palace so soon.
The next day, when Dong Wanshan, Minister of the Household Department, went to the imperial study to ask the emperor how to relieve the disaster, the emperor had already left the city gate with the concubine Yue and went to the Summer Resort.
Dong Wanshan, Minister of the Household Department, who was over forty years old, was full of sadness. The disaster relief needed money, but the emperor's approval was needed! No one has no money, how to provide disaster relief!
Yan Li saw the sad expression on the face of the Minister of the Household Department, and greeted him, "Master Dong, what happened to make you so worried?"
Dong Shangshu sighed, "Isn't it for disaster relief?"
It was not surprising for Yan Li to hear him say this, "Yes, this disaster is too serious, Master Dong has worked hard!"
Dong Wanshan smiled wryly, "I'm not afraid of hard work, but the emperor is not here at all, so I can't get money and food, so what can I do for disaster relief!"
Yan Li was also a little surprised, how could the emperor not be in the palace, "The emperor is not in the palace?"
"Yes, I heard that I took the concubine Yue to the Mountain Resort, and I won't be able to come back in a short time. What should I do!" Dong Wanshan was worried about the disaster situation, and worried that the emperor would blame him if the disaster relief work was not done well, so he was very worried. up!
Yan Li was also stunned for a moment, under such circumstances, why did the emperor go to escape the summer heat! Shouldn't he provide disaster relief immediately!
"Then, what is the emperor's order for you?" Yan Li asked.
"Let the internal servant give me the oral order, saying that I will handle the disaster relief matters entirely, and there is nothing else! What about the money? Food? Manpower? Hey!" After Dong Wanshan vented, he looked at Yan Li as if he was looking for a savior.
"Yan Yushi, do you have a good idea? Save the officer!" Dong Shangshu pitifully begged Yan Li.
Yan Li lived up to expectations, "The emperor is not here, but the empress is." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the harem.
Dong Wanshan looked at Yan Yushi's direction, which turned out to be the harem, and just wanted to remind Yan Yushi that he was a foreign minister, but then realized that this matter was really urgent, and he should tell the empress, so he also dragged his clothes and walked quickly to follow!
But at this time, in Rong Changan's Fengming Palace, there was a burst of depression!
Rong Chang'an was worried about the disaster for several days, when Li Hai knew about it, he handed it over to the Minister of the Household Department to deal with it, and ran out to escape the heat by himself!
"Who did the emperor bring with him when he went out?" Rong Changan asked Chuntao disappointedly.
"As for the concubine Yue, I heard that the concubine Yue has been unhappy for the past few days. Later, someone told the emperor that the concubine Yue was not heat-resistant, and she would be fine if she went to escape the summer heat for a while. The emperor left the palace in a hurry." Chuntao quickly told her master what she knew.
"understood!"
Rong Changan sighed in his heart, it seems that it is really necessary to arrange for Mingyue to leave the palace quickly. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous!
Rong Changan was worrying, when a palace maid came in to report, "Your Majesty, Yan Yushi and Mr. Dong, Minister of the Household Department, are asking to see you."
Hearing their names, Rong Changan immediately thought of their purpose, "Please come in!"
The two came in and greeted Rong Changan.
Rong Chang'an and Yan Li looked at each other, and then immediately parted their eyes.
"Dong Shangshu, Yan Yushi, why did you come to my Fengming Palace?" Rong Changan acted like a queen at this time.
Dong Wanshan hurriedly asked, "Empress, I am in charge of disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction according to Your Majesty's orders. However, Your Majesty left Beijing in a hurry and did not leave me money, food and supplies, so this old minister came to ask Your Majesty for instructions on how to do it."
"This is an errand arranged by the emperor. You should ask the emperor how to do it. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Dong Shangshu should think of other ways!" Yan Li was a little surprised by Rong Changan's straightforward refusal.
"Here, ma'am, please help the old minister!" Dong Wanshan knelt down and asked Rong Chang'an for help.
Rong Chang'an sneered inwardly as he looked at the Hubu Shangshu who pretended to be concerned about the country and the people in front of him.
If she didn't have the memory of her previous life, she wouldn't know that Dong Wanshan was a corrupt official. One million taels of relief money, he embezzled 400,000 taels alone!
At this moment, it seems that he is really thinking about the common people, so anxious!
"Dong Shangshu, you can go to the Mountain Resort yourself and ask His Majesty how to deal with this matter. You can go back and forth in three days! I am a woman and I don't understand those important military affairs!"
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Yan Li would have laughed out loud.
A commander-in-chief of a 100,000-strong army actually said that he was a woman who would not interfere in government affairs! What a joke!
"Dong Shangshu, are you still not backing down?" Rong Changan urged seeing Dong Wanshan still staying in his palace.
Dong Wanshan saw that Yan Yushi didn't mean to say goodbye at all, so he hurriedly quit the door.
After Dong Wanshan went out, Rong Changan said concisely, "Find a way to keep him from reaching the Summer Resort. You go there and take on this job."
Yan Li nodded clearly.
"I'll find a way to go to the disaster relief with you tomorrow." Rong Changan thought of the many corrupt officials who appeared in the disaster relief, so he planned like this.
