Early the next morning, Long Sheng was pulled out of bed by Ying Yu, and he got up reluctantly. Then he simply washed himself, then got on the carriage and headed towards the palace.
When Dragon Saint arrived at the main hall, there were already many princes and ministers here. After seeing Dragon Saint, those palace ministers began to discuss in low voices.
"Isn't this the sixth prince? Why did he come to attend the imperial meeting?" A minister said:
"You don't know this. I heard that the Sixth Prince was appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs by His Majesty yesterday. Now the Sixth Prince not only has a title, but also an official position. It is reasonable to participate in court meetings! And the most incredible thing is that the Sixth Prince not only has a title, but also an official position.
The sixth prince also beat Liu Quan who was delivering the order yesterday, and the beating was very serious! I heard that his face was swollen from the beating." Another minister said in a low voice:
"Really? I didn't expect that the Sixth Prince would be so lawless! He even dared to fight the father-in-law who delivered the decree! Doesn't this simply mean that you don't take the majesty of His Majesty and the Empire into consideration? It seems that the Sixth Prince is going to be unlucky today.
, maybe you will be dismissed from office if you attend the court meeting on the first day! It seems that there is a lot of fun today." The minister said in a low voice:
"You don't know this. The Sixth Prince has been a demon king since he was a child. Everyone in the palace is afraid of him! And no one dares to provoke him! Coupled with the favor of the Queen and His Majesty, the Sixth Prince will be even more
He is lawless. He often causes trouble in the palace! He has never been severely punished. I think it will be the same this time. Even if the sixth prince is punished, it will not be too severe. His official position determines what he can do.
If you can save it, don't forget that the Queen is the backing of the Sixth Prince. Even if His Majesty wants to severely punish the Sixth Prince, the Queen will not agree, so I'm afraid you can't stand your excitement, but I have to remind you.
!Don’t provoke the Sixth Prince, otherwise you won’t know how you died.” Another minister said in a low voice:
At this time, Long Yan also saw Long Sheng, and came over to say hello to Long Sheng: "I didn't expect that the sixth brother would become the Minister of the Military Ministry so soon. It is really unexpected! It seems that the father still loves Liu very much.
Brother!"
"Fourth brother, do you think I am willing to be the minister of the military department? I was forced to do it, and I can't even accept it! I am so helpless that I will never return to my carefree days, and I have to get up here every morning
What kind of court meeting are you holding? My life is really miserable right now!" Long Sheng said with a mournful face:
"I have heard about Sixth Brother's heroic behavior yesterday. He actually beat up Eunuch Liu who was responsible for delivering the order. You are so fierce. Fourth Brother can't help but admire you! But you have to be careful today.
!My father must have known it now, and he will definitely punish you. You must hold on!" Long Yan said:
"Fourth brother, don't worry. Sixth brother, I will definitely hold on. The worst I can do is give up my official position as a minister of the military department. Then I can be free and happy again. At that time, I went to see fourth brother for a drink, and fourth brother wouldn't let me go."
Welcome!" Long Sheng said:
"How could it be! I'm so happy that my sixth brother can come to me for a drink! How could I not welcome you? I will be waiting for you all at any time." Long Yan said:
"I really don't know what my father likes about this boy. How can he compare to me? You actually let this boy be the minister of the military department all of a sudden. But this time you have committed a big crime! Hire the official who sent the order, then
But the contempt for the majesty of the father and the empire! The father will definitely be furious. Even with the help of the queen, I am afraid that the Dragon Saint will have to pull off a layer of skin! The Dragon Saint can bear this, so I am just right
That will settle the grudge last time. Let’s see how you resolve the crisis this time! It’s really exciting!” Long Yan thought in his heart:
At this time, Long Zhan walked up to the main hall. After Long Zhan sat on the dragon chair above the main hall, a eunuch shouted loudly: "The court meeting begins now."
Then the palace ministers stopped chatting, and all knelt down in order, and then shouted loudly: "May your Majesty be safe, may the Shenlong Empire be prosperous forever."
"My dear friends, are you all safe? Do you have anything to report today?" Long Zhan said:
"Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in the western part of the empire. Please open a warehouse to provide relief to the victims." A minister stood up from the crowd, holding a memorial in his hand and said:
Then a eunuch took the memorial from the minister and presented it to Long Zhan.
After Long Zhan read the memorial, he said: "There is a severe drought in the western part of the empire. Tens of millions of people have been affected. Now these tens of millions of people are hungry. Dear friends, tell me what you can do!"
"I think the top priority is to open warehouses to provide relief to the victims! Otherwise, countless people will starve to death, and there may be riots! The hungry people will do anything to survive! Your Majesty, please
Open the warehouse as soon as possible to stock up on food!" A minister came out of the crowd and suggested:
"There is less rain in the western region, which leads to frequent severe droughts. The empire has to open warehouses to provide relief to the victims every year. Not only does the western region not bring any tax revenue to the empire, it is also like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the empire's money and food.
Ah! The western region is simply a heavy burden for the empire! Now most parts of the empire are in good weather and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The empire can still bear it. If the empire catches up with floods in the south, locust plagues in the east, and foreign enemies intrusion in the north.
The harvest in the central part is not good. How can the empire have the energy to worry about the west? But if the west is ignored, the victims may cause trouble. What will happen then? Therefore, I suggest that the empire should get rid of the heavy burden of the west as soon as possible.
." Another minister came out and said:
"Then I wonder how Aiqing thinks we should get rid of the burden of the west!" Long Zhan asked:
"I suggest you move eastward." Another minister said:
"You are so loud! Do you know that there are billions of people in the west? How much money and food will the empire consume for such a large-scale eastward migration! And how do you plan to resettle these relocated people? Have you ever thought about it?
No! I think you are just talking nonsense!" The minister said:
"Of course it's impossible to move all the western parts eastward. It's just a matter of moving those cities that are prone to droughts eastward. This will also solve a lot of problems in the empire!" Another minister said:
"Even if those cities with serious drought conditions move eastward, they still have tens of millions of people! They spent a lot of money and food to move eastward! And even if the people in these cities moved away, the other cities still remain
There will also be droughts! The drought in the west has still not been solved! The empire still needs relief! Moreover, such a large expense of moving eastward has been added out of thin air, which is really not cost-effective! This is really not cost-effective!" This minister said
