Chapter 168 Desire

When he was speechless, Eunuch Zhang came in and reported: "To report to the Emperor, Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Household Affairs, is out seeking an audience."

Looking at Gardenia's Luoxi, she said: "You go and sit inside first - Xuan."

"In compliance with the decree——, Mr. Zhang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Propaganda and Husbandry, comes to see——."

The crystal bead curtain was still shaking. Sitting on the table, I couldn't see what the Minister of the Ministry of Finance looked like. I could only hear a respectful voice coming into my ears: "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."

"Plain body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mr. Zhang stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, we have received accurate information about the matter that you ordered me to investigate earlier."

"Tell me——."

"Yes, there is indeed a flood near the Nanjiang River Basin, and the people nearby are now displaced. I have found out that the memorial sent to Aoran City by the city lord of Nanjiang City was robbed, which led to the interruption of news in the Nanjiang River Basin. Ten years after the incident,

It took me a few days to find out. As for the memorial that was robbed by someone, I am sorry that I am incompetent. So far, there is no news at all."

Who was robbed? Of course he knew, because at this time there were people who were worried about the chaos in the world. "Eunuch Zhang," the emperor said, "go to the Ministry of Propaganda and Work and the Minister of Punishment to see me."

"According to the order." Ying Wansheng and Eunuch Zhang walked out, and the emperor continued: "Is there any news about how the Lord of Nanjiang City will arrange for the people now?"

"Back to the Emperor, the Lord of Nanjiang City has led the people to travel day and night to flee to the mountains for refuge. Although there have been casualties, the situation is not too bad."

"Didn't he think of a way to stop the flood from engulfing the village?"

"Yes, the city lord has sent all the men in the city and village to areas with serious flooding to block the water, but the effect seems not to be very satisfactory."

While he was speaking, Lord Lin, the Minister of Industry, and Lord Shen, the Minister of Punishment, walked in: "Kowtow, wait, let me see my emperor..."

Before the two adults had finished their greetings, the emperor waved and said, "That's enough. Even if you keep shouting long live in my ears, I won't live ten thousand years. Everyone, get up."

The two ministers were stunned and stood up and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor stood up and sighed: "Ministry of Punishment, how many prisoners are in prison now?"

Master Shen bowed and said: "Back to the Emperor, there are currently thirty death row prisoners, one hundred and seventy-two serious offenders, and two hundred and fourteen minor offenders."

"According to my decree, there is a flood in the Nanjiang River Basin. In addition to the death row prisoners, 214 minor criminals and 172 serious criminals have all gone to the Nanjiang River Basin to wait for work. The state prisons and city prisons near the Nanjiang River Basin

All the prisoners there will also go."

"I obey the order." Mr. Shen raised his hands and stood aside in obedience to the order.

"Sir Lin, the water in the Nanjiang River Basin has risen and flooded many villages. Now the Nanjiang City City Lord's blocking method seems to be unfeasible. I plan to dig trenches and canals around the villages and towns around the Nanjiang River Basin to guide the floodwaters into the surrounding areas.

Firstly, the flood can be reduced into the village, and secondly, it can be used to irrigate farmland in summer. You have also heard what I just ordered the Minister of Justice. As for the design of the ditch on site, it is up to you to arrange for people from the Ministry of Works to go there. Remember,

Let the people's livelihood there be restored as soon as possible, I don't want to hear this unfortunate thing happen a second time."

"I obey the decree."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Go down and make arrangements."

"I'll take my leave."

Master Zhang and Master Shen walked out. Master Lin just turned around and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the robbery of Nanjiang City's memorial?"

"I have other arrangements for this matter. You just have to do your own thing." He frowned, knowing that Lian Helou had taken action.

"In compliance with the order, I retire."

The room became quiet again. Luo Xun appeared to be staring at the book, but under the bright yellow tablecloth, his little hands were clenched and shaking with excitement. He had to admit that he admired him, his attitude and decisiveness in dealing with such a big matter.

, can actually be solved in half a cup of tea.

Gardenia sat there quietly, Luoxi had fallen asleep in her arms. She had seen everything that happened just now. He was a rare and good emperor, and she didn't understand when she would be in such a high position.

Did the climbers meet?

Thinking of the two concubines she had just met in the corridor, thinking of his heroic spirit as the leader of the world, and thinking of herself, she seemed to begin to understand why she left him in the first place. They were from two different worlds, and she was so ordinary.

Simple, how can I be worthy of an emperor who owns the world? Do I have low self-esteem? Or am I selfish? In vain, I want to know what happened back then?

He walked in and tried to open his mouth, but he pulled him into his arms: "Gardenia, please don't leave me again, okay?"

I didn't speak because I didn't know how to answer him. I have to admit that although Ji Ji is gone, the subconscious love still exists. Is it because the love is too deep?

The bright waxing moon illuminates the sky, the hazy moonlight shines softly, and the twinkling stars are naughty hiding here and there, making it difficult for people to catch its direction.

The night breeze brought coolness, and I listened to the chirping of insects. On the roof of the glazed tile roof, two mother and daughter were hugging each other and looking up to the sky.

"Mom, what does grandma look like?"

Luoxi's childish voice sounded, and Gardenia smiled and said, "Why did Xi'er think of grandma today?"

Pointing to the stars in the sky, Luo Xi said: "Xi'er remembers that her mother said that grandma lives in the sky. Look at how big the star is. Is grandma looking at us?"

With her daughter in her arms tightly, Gardenia said softly: "Yes, grandma is watching us in the sky."

"Is that what Xi'er did? Grandma knows about it." Looking at Gardenia, Luo Xi blinked his clear eyes and asked.

Lowering his eyes and chin, he said, "What does Xi'er want to do in the future?"

The little Luo Xi seemed to have thought a lot and said: "Xi'er wants to be a doctor like my mother, save many people, and fly very high like my grandpa." Luo Xi stretched out his hand and gestured.

, the exaggerated movements made Gardenia realize that her daughter was really cute and well-behaved.

Hugging Luo Xi tightly, Gardenia still smiled gently: "Okay, Mom will teach Xi'er how to learn medical skills. How about letting Master Grandpa teach you martial arts?"

Stretching out his short arms to hug Gardenia, Luoxi said sweetly: "Mother is the best, Xi'er likes mother the most."

"——Mother, Xi'er is thirsty."

"Then let's go down." He held Luoxi in his arms and floated gently to the ground. A gust of fragrant wind blew through, and the branches and leaves on the treetops trembled gently.

Luoxi ran into the inner hall, and Gardenia looked at that petite figure, her heart filled with comfort. As she was about to move, there was a sudden pressure behind her, and when she glanced past the side of the tree, she looked back and saw only a few hammer-shaped darts.

She was firmly driven into the rockery on the side, and in the next moment, a black figure wielded a sharp sword and swung at her without fear. He leaned slightly, and a gust of cold wind blew through her chin and neck, which was cold and biting.
