Hearing about the severe drought in the south, Mu Yuyan immediately cheered up.

What worries her most right now is this!

The national destiny is in decline and disasters occur. It is true that misfortunes never come singly.

If the drought is serious this time and the grain released for disaster relief is not enough to fill the gap, I am afraid it will really trigger a civil uprising and make the people of Yasukuni even worse!

...

"Dajing's grain reserves are actually sufficient."

Gu Lan talked eloquently and captured the core of the problem in the first sentence.

"I think Her Majesty the Empress must also be worried about this matter... But there is no need. Although the national destiny is declining, its foundation is still there, and it is more than enough to support the southern border through the drought."

Mu Yuyan was stunned after hearing this, then breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly.

It would be nice to be able to get through it peacefully...

At this moment, she was completely convinced by Gu Lan's words and was as serious as listening to the teacher's lecture.

However, Gu Lan's next plain words shocked her!

"But who would have thought that it would have been better not to provide relief for the disaster, but half a decade after the grain relief was released, a major civil unrest occurred in the southern border."

"Why!"

Mu Yuyan's pretty face turned pale and she asked subconsciously.

She didn't notice at all why Gu Lan could predict the future!

I just want to know what is the problem with the counter-effect of disaster relief!

"Because of natural disasters...and man-made disasters!"

Gu Lan spat out each word, then recalled for a moment: "There are many capable ministers in the imperial court, but there are also treacherous ministers, including those princes who were enfeoffed..."

"Some of these court bugs are dissatisfied with the empress, and some are just purely greedy."

"They are all factors that promote the decline of the country."

"Our Queen, Her Majesty, has been busy trying to save the country from declining fortunes, but she has ignored these small details. I can only say that she is...a bit stupid."

After talking for a while, Gu Lan shook his head gently.

I'm not complaining about the empress, but I think the author who wrote this eunuch novel in his previous life was Mao Cake!

Being able to become the empress is enough to show Jiaqing's ice and snow intelligence, but to be able to make such a mistake is really outrageous!

It can only be said that a wise man will always make mistakes, or the protagonist's aura is too strong, and the empress has forcibly lost his mind...

In fact, the empress also realized this later, and wanted to clean up the court officials and eliminate the evil.

But by then it was too late!

Old ministers rebelled, loyal ministers were slaughtered, and the developed protagonist and various villains disrupted the situation. She was at her wits' end at that time.

In the end, he ended up frustrated!

Mu Yuyan's body trembled after hearing this.

My mind felt like it was struck by lightning!

Because she suddenly thought at this moment that the disaster relief funds she had allocated in previous years were always twice as much as planned because she was afraid that the people would not have enough!

But even so, every time the book is presented, it is said that it is enough!

I see!

There are treacherous ministers and traitors who dare to ruin Dajing's luck under my nose... Mu Yuyan was so frightened and angry that she almost couldn't restrain her terrifying sword cultivator's aura!

"Ahem!"

Fortunately, Liu Yexi came back to her senses and coughed as a reminder.

"Xiao Xi, if your throat feels uncomfortable, drink more water."

Gu Lan poured her a cup of hot tea.

Liu Yexi was a little embarrassed: "Thank you, thank you for your concern."

After taking a few sips, he glanced at the empress and found that her breath had calmed down and returned to normal.

She naturally concealed her shock and anger, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes gradually overflowed with a young lady's admiration for her husband!

"Gu Lang is indeed a scholar, he knows so much!"

Your Majesty is really good at acting... Liu Yexi silently praised it and continued to drink tea.

"As long as the lady likes to hear it."

Gu Lan's eyes were full of adoration and tenderness, and his fingertips lightly brushed the empress' soft blue hair.

"I like to hear it very much."

Mu Yuyan seemed to have found the right way to open it. She was not in a hurry to ask who the thieves were in the court, and just said in a good-natured way: "When Gu Lang goes to high school next year, he will be able to become a high official, and we will have hope in Jingguo."

The high official is exempted from the job, the capital is not a good place to go, it's all a mess... Gu Lan thought steadily.

moment.

He sighed and said slowly: "Mr., I am not studying to become an official."

"Not for being an official?"

Mu Yuyan was puzzled. How many scholars had she seen in the Jinluan Palace after she ascended the throne? Who didn't want to be named on the gold medal list and return home in glory?

Scholars all over the world rushed to the capital in a hurry, but Gu Lan was not enthusiastic?

As a female official, Liu Yexi was also confused and put down her tea cup to look at him.

"Then why does Gu Lang/Master study?"

"For..." Gu Lan thought of the words he quoted every time in his compositions from his previous life, "To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to inherit the unique knowledge of the saints, and to create peace for all generations!"

This situation.

Although it was improvised, it couldn't be more appropriate!

What he said was clear and powerful!

The room is quiet again!

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth...establish a life for the people..." Mu Yuyan chewed on this ancient famous saying, and her mind was greatly shocked!

Since she ascended the throne, the Empress has been surrounded by flattering words. How have she ever heard such kind words!

Unknowingly, her beautiful eyes began to burst into tears!

Of all the scholars in the world, how many of them would say such heartfelt words for the country and the people when confiding their true feelings to their wives?

This is the character that a scholar should have!

Just this sentence, Gu Lang can be the emperor's master... Mu Yuyan sighed a lot, and at the same time, a thought that she had never had before arose in her heart!

Be an official!

She wants Gu Lan to be an official!

Moreover, he must rise to the top and become an extremely popular minister!

It not only saves the common people, but also does not bury the talent of governing the world!

Of course, it can also satisfy Mu Yuyan's own little selfishness... Even if he regains his status as an emperor in the future, he can continue to be his pillow!

Mu Yuyan's thoughts settled.

Liu Yexi over there calmed down and praised with a smile: "As expected of the young master, these words...should be spoken to all the officials."

In addition to being a personal attendant of the Empress, she is also the female official in charge of the Xuantian Division, and has the responsibility of supervising all officials.

So when I heard such a beautiful saying, I felt inspired.

Gu Lan, who is a civil servant, waved his hand: "Many of them are indifferent even if they listen to it. Their love for Jingguo is different, so it makes no sense to listen to it."

"Indeed."

Mu Yuyan nodded.

Liu Yexi suddenly shivered and asked, "Do you think any of the courtiers would be indifferent after hearing this?"

When I ask this question, I just want to gossip about who is treacherous and who is loyal.

Gu Lan directly knocked her on the head: "Young lady, what do you know so much about?"

"Gu Lang, I want to know too." Mu Yuyan came over and said.

"Ahem... Madam likes to hear it, so let's talk briefly."

Gu Lan cleared his throat.

Liu Yexi: "..."

"Not to mention the distant one, that prince in the southern border... He just likes to take advantage of the situation and make money from the people's disaster relief... But he doesn't have any ambitions, he is just greedy."

Gu Lan scratched his head and remembered the disgusting villain in the original novel.

He is a man who collects people's wealth and wealth.

It's okay to do evil in normal times, but when a disaster strikes, he continues to do evil, and even joins hands with wealthy businessmen to hoard food, so that he can live in rare goods!

Which refugee doesn't riot!

Gu Lan couldn't remember his name clearly.

After all, he is just a minor villain in the early stages of the book, who is easily taken down by the protagonist later on.

However.

The empress knew the people he mentioned very well!

"Marquis An Guo, Cai Yu!"

Mu Yuyan took a deep breath. This was the only marquis in the southern border who was hereditary. Of course she had an impression.

to be honest.

If Gu Lan hadn't mentioned it today, Mu Yuyan really wouldn't have paid attention to this cancer!

"Man-made disaster, is this the Marquis Cai you're talking about, right?"

"My wife is smart, that's right."

Gu Lan took a sip of tea, not realizing at all that he had unintentionally sentenced a marquis to death...
