Chapter 611 When Princess Heqin Becomes the Supreme Empress (37)
"I don't know whether the country of Kang will be subjugated without me. I only know that since I am the emperor's concubine, I can shoulder the obligation of marriage for the people of Kang. So, why can't I stand in the court and plead for their lives for the sake of the people of Kang?
?If you adults think that I am not qualified and think that women should stay at home and enjoy happiness, then you should not mention marriage, you should not involve women in the family in politics, and you should not marry off your own daughters.
Marriage, if you can't do it, don't always make excuses about women, otherwise it will make all the women in the world, including the mother who gave birth to you and raise you, suspect that you look down on women at all."
The court hall was very quiet, no one was talking.
How can you say this? Who told everyone here to be born of women? If you refuted it, it would be another crime - unfilial piety.
Filial piety is also a rule set by their men.
Seeing that the courtiers were silent, Emperor Lin said: "Since you have different opinions, I don't think there is any need to establish this department. Roujia, you don't have to worry about these things. With these ministers in the court, even if the sky falls in the future,
Well, they are also holding it up, and these ministers are holding up the sky of Kang State, what kind of disasters will there be in the future? If there is, it is because these ministers of mine did not hold the sky up to me, and I will naturally go to them to settle accounts."
Ministers, "...!?"
If there is a natural disaster in the future, will it mean that we failed to withstand the weather?
Emperor, are you messing with us?
Seeing that the ministers were shouting that they didn't dare and knelt down, Gu Mo comforted Emperor Lin.
"Brother Emperor, don't be so angry. It's just a department. If you don't build it, it won't be built. What's the big deal?"
Her sudden change made the civil and military officials feel even more uneasy. They always felt that this Roujia Emperor was really going to start causing trouble.
Sure enough, next they heard Gu Mo say: "But it is only natural to pay back debts. Do you have any objections to this, sir?"
The next moment, Gu Mo asked someone to bring in a large sack.
"Come on, these are all the money you owe me..."
After saying that, Gu Mo took the IOU and read out names. Every time he read a name, the person looked like he was about to faint due to lack of blood supply to his brain.
Gu Mo had a smile on his face from beginning to end, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, you have some too. You have the most IOUs here..."
Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "My wife is pure and kind-hearted and doesn't know how to infiltrate the camp. Can't Emperor Ji let her go?"
Gu Mo took out all the family members of the ministers in the court. At this moment, they naturally thought that these IOUs were paid by Gu Mo who took his wife and daughter to pay the bills.
Gu Mo said: "This is not your wife's fault. This one was signed by your eldest son, this one was signed by your second son, and this one was signed by your younger brother..."
These losers!
"Oh, there is another one signed by your illegitimate son born out of another wife. When I left the palace a few days ago, I saw him fighting cocks. My hands were itchy, so I stopped fighting..."
Mr. Zhang, "...!"
Mu De, forget about the hundreds of thousands of IOUs, the last sentence is the highlight, and everyone’s face turned green.
Everyone also looked at Mr. Zhang with joy.
There would be a big fuss if word came to Mrs. Zhang that there was an illegitimate child in the nurturing room.
After that, Gu Mo continued to read the names. While reading, he did not forget to announce one or two shady things about these ministers.
Ministers, "...!?"
It’s so heartbreaking!
Finally, these ministers gritted their teeth and bowed their hands to Gu Mo.
"I feel that the establishment of the disaster response department by Emperor Ji is really a great feat for the country and the people, and I fully support it!"
Mudd, can they also want to set up a department dedicated to combating gambling?
The establishment of relevant departments is very complicated, and not only the central government but also local governments must take it into consideration.
Because it was Gu Mo who brought it up, Emperor Lin directly handed over the matter to Gu Mo.
In the following days, Gu Mo was busier.
Gu Qijin didn't know he had taken the wrong medicine, so he hung around Gu Mo all day long, using his name to help Gu Mo.
But Gu Mo felt that he might be here to spy on her, fearing that she would cuckold him.
Gu Mo felt a little guilty for being able to deceive the wise and powerful male protagonist into being like this.
But Gu Mo really thought too much, and Gu Qijin was actually called over by Emperor Lin.
Emperor Lin's original intention was indeed to have Gu Qijin help Gu Mo, but Gu Qijin slowly discovered that Gu Mo didn't need his help at all.
Gu Mo handles things in an orderly manner and can often plan ahead and think of things that others have not thought of in advance, so he can always get twice the result with half the effort.
Gu Qijin saw Gu Mo's outstanding ability and became more and more inferior. He felt that Gu Mo's success made him feel like a hot chick.
This kind of blow from his career made him even less in the mood to focus on Qin Wanqiu and Qin Wanyue.
After the disaster response department was established and operations were on track, it was Gu Mo's birthday.
Emperor Lin wanted to do something big for Gu Mo, but Gu Mo didn't think it was necessary.
But given his status, it was impossible to do nothing. In the end, Gu Mo only invited the ministers of the court and the female relatives of noble families to come and sit in the palace.
Originally, she wanted to do it.
But as soon as they heard about the horse-drawing, the group of people all made ready to run.
Gu Mo was afraid of frightening them, so he had no choice but to sit there, chatting casually and watching singing and dancing.
Just when Gu Mo was bored, Fu Zhu hurried in and whispered in Gu Mo's ear.
Gu Mo stood up and walked out quickly.
Seeing this, other people in the palace also followed Gu Mo, and soon they reached the Jiuqu Bridge.
Qin Wanqiu was standing on the bridge, seemingly anxious, shouting loudly that Miss Li Er had fallen into the water.
Only then did everyone discover that there was a hand sinking slowly in the water.
A group of people suddenly panicked, "Di Ji! What should we do?"
It's summer now, and everyone is wearing thin clothes, especially today, Miss Li Er is wearing a white Yanluo brocade.
Clothes made of this kind of material will become particularly transparent once they come into contact with water.
At this time, Qin Wanqiu was still shouting so loudly, calling the guards and chamberlains to come over. Even if she was rescued, Miss Li Er might not be able to survive.
But at this moment, Miss Li Er has completely sunk. How can the maids dare to dive down?
Without guards, Miss Li Er would have no choice but to drown.
The guards had already heard the shouting and ran over. Gu Mo raised his voice and shouted: "No one is allowed to come here, please get out of here!"
Qin Wanqiu immediately said: "Emperor Ji, if you don't let the guards come to save people, Miss Li Er will drown! This is a human life!"
It was Gu Mo who was the one who committed such a crime.
But at this time, Gu Mo had no time to settle accounts with her.
"I will go and rescue you."
After saying that, Gu Mo jumped into the water and sank to the bottom in a short while.
