Empress: Living In The Mountains, My Daughter Praised Me As A God

"I don't dare! In my eyes, Your Majesty is the first female emperor of our Bingling Kingdom, and she must be the Emperor of Furui!"

"But the governors made secret visits to the people everywhere, and the people didn't think so! They all said... His Majesty brought the disaster!"

Seeing Liu Qingxue's expression getting colder and colder, Qin Hui gritted his teeth and glanced at Queen Zhenbei.

Feeling confident again, he straightened his neck and continued.

"Such remarks are extremely detrimental to our Bingling Kingdom, and they are also extremely detrimental to Your Majesty!"

"So if I want the people to return to their hearts and want to eliminate those remarks to prevent them from spreading, I think the disaster must be controlled!"

"I... am willing to die for the people! I hope your Majesty will lend a helping hand to the people, mobilize supplies for disaster relief, and express your Majesty's favor!"

With the beginning of Qin Hui, at the signal of Liu Zhi, the king of Zhenbei.

More than thirty officials, large and small, including the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Punishment, all raised their hands and shouted.

"Your Majesty, please lend a helping hand and save the people from dire straits!"

Seeing such changes in the court, the other civil and military officials looked at each other in shock and did not dare to say a word.

King Zhenbei leaned against the pillar, crossed his arms, and looked at Liu Qingxue with his joking eyes.

Liu Qingxue did not answer immediately, but turned to look at the imperial censor who was loyal to her, Du Ruhui!

"Is what Qin Zhongcheng said true?"

Du Ruhui sighed and nodded feebly.

"It's true! I only received the news last night and didn't have time to report it. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"

Hearing this, Liu Qingxue's eyes suddenly became serious.

She had heard about disasters in many places, but she didn't expect that things would become so serious.

"Didn't I allocate a large sum of money for disaster relief at the beginning of the drought and flood? Where was it used? Why didn't we control the disaster?"

Liu Qingxue asked in a deep voice, quite as if he was launching an attack to investigate.

Although she didn't know what Qin Hui's plan was, she knew she couldn't follow the other person's path, otherwise she would be led by the nose.

In response to the empress' question, Qin Hui raised the corner of his mouth in a vague manner and winked at He Shen, the Minister of Household Affairs.

The muscular He Shen had already spoken. With a flick of his sleeves, a thick account book appeared in his hand.

"Your Majesty! This is where the disaster relief funds were used. Everything is detailed. I have found out exactly where every penny ended up. Your Majesty, please check!"

Liu Qingxue didn't even look at the account book handed over by He Shen, but put it aside.

If the other party can bring it so openly, then what you see is just what the other party wants to show you.

"No need! I can rest assured that the monk will do the work!"

"Since the disaster is serious, disaster relief funds must be allocated again to stabilize the disaster and allow the people to have a stable home!"

Liu Qingxue said solemnly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, He Shen saluted with a guilty look on his face.

"Your Majesty! The Ministry of Revenue...has long since run out of funds, and the national treasury is also empty. I'm afraid...it won't be able to come up with disaster relief funds!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qingxue understood instantly!

No wonder the King of Zhenbei has been investigating the disaster situation in various places in the past few days. No wonder these officials who never care about the people suddenly report the disaster situation today.

All this... was just to roast her Liu Qingxue on the fire!

Nowadays, the Ministry of Household Affairs has no money and the national treasury is empty.

As the empress, she, Liu Qingxue, could not come up with disaster relief funds and could not solve the problem for the victims everywhere.

There is no doubt that the people have deep resentment towards her, the empress.

If King Zhenbei fanned the flames again, the consequences would be... unimaginable.

When the time comes, the people's support will be shattered, and it will be difficult to regain the people's support.

After losing the support of the people, her imperial aura will also become extremely weak.

For a moment, Liu Qingxue realized the seriousness of the matter.

Seeing the empress's heavy expression, King Zhenbei seized the opportunity and stood up.

"Your Majesty, the people in these places are suffering. The number of people affected by the disaster is too large. If Your Majesty does not provide relief as soon as possible, let them have a stable home."

"I'm afraid... the officials will force the people to rebel! When the Bingling Kingdom falls apart, Your Majesty will be... the sinner!"

"This position of emperor has always been occupied by the virtuous. I hope your majesty will not betray the trust of the people and the late emperor!"

King Zhenbei's eyes were filled with pride.

The meaning of the words is also very straightforward. If you can't relieve the disaster, let me be the emperor!

He, King Zhenbei, was not as afraid of the empress as those ministers. Overt and covert fights between them were nothing new.

Everyone wants to kill the other, but no one can do anything about the other.

Now that an opportunity has been created, King Zhenbei will not let it go easily.

"King Zhenbei is teaching me how to do things? I will definitely solve this disaster!"

"Do you think there is nothing I can do because the treasury is empty? Within three days, I will definitely come up with a solution!"

"I will tell you with facts that I am worthy of this throne! Hum, let's adjourn the meeting!"

With a wave of Liu Qingxue's dragon robe, the morning meeting broke up unhappy.

At this moment, her heart felt heavy. There were not many treasury resources when the late emperor died.

As a woman, she became the emperor, and the resistance was extremely huge.

In order to win over people's hearts over the years, the national treasury has been exhausted, and she doesn't have many personal resources to use.

No matter how resourceful and ambitious you are now, it is hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

Watching Liu Qingxue leave angrily, King Zhenbei laughed unscrupulously.

I feel even more proud in my heart: Wait until you, Liu Qingxue, are helpless and the whole world is angry.

As long as I, Liu Zhi, stand up and resolve this crisis, I will be the one who will win the support of the people, and my prestige will reach an unprecedented height!

When the time comes...who will be more qualified than me for this position of emperor? And you, a woman who has lost the aura of an emperor, are only worthy of being the cauldron of my ancestor of the Soul-Suppressing Sect!

...

In the sword pavilion, Liu Qingxue and a group of confidants gathered together.

Li Chunfeng also heard about the fight in the court from Gu Yanwu.

His expression is also heavy!

After all, if an empire wants to last for a long time, it depends not only on high-end combat power, but also on the people at the bottom.

"Your Majesty, you are a woman. There has never been a precedent for you to be an emperor. You have already been questioned. Coupled with the natural disasters in recent years, people and officials in many places have complained a lot, thinking that your Majesty is not worthy of the throne. "

"I think your Majesty himself is aware of it. I observe that your Majesty's imperial aura...has not made any progress in the past two years, alas..."

"If we don't solve it well this time, I'm afraid... it will be very difficult to get things right. Maybe the prestige and foundation we have built up over the years will be lost!"

Seeing Li Chunfeng, the national counselor, speak, Du Ruhui, the auxiliary minister and imperial censor, also let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, I have personally visited the disaster area. It is truly a hell on earth."

"It is so common to change children and eat them. I even saw with my own eyes that someone ate Guanyin soil until their stomach burst and then died miserably!"

"His Majesty just said at the court meeting that a solution will be found within three days. May I ask if your Majesty has any clever plan to solve this problem?"

Listening to everyone's words, Liu Qingxue shook her head helplessly and did not hide anything.

"It is impossible to provide disaster relief without a large amount of resources and money. What we lack now...is money!"

"Moreover, reconstruction after disaster relief also requires a lot of money."

"With the resources I have, I'm afraid... there's no way to solve it yet!"

Hearing this, everyone was disappointed and their mood instantly dropped.

Could it be that... is His Majesty going to lose in the fight with King Zhenbei?

At this moment, the atmosphere in the sword pavilion became a little heavy.

Even though he had many think tanks and everyone present was an official official, he still couldn't come up with any ideas.

After all, the funds required for disaster relief and reconstruction in such large states are simply not what they can come up with.

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, a happy and charming laughter suddenly came from outside.

"Keke! Sister Shangguan, come and chase me. If you catch up with Ling'er, Ling'er will give you delicious food!"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked sideways.

I saw Shangguan Yan chasing Chu Ling'er and coming in from outside.

Chu Ling'er's cheerful laughter, like a lark, seemed to have diluted some of the gloom in everyone's hearts.

When he walked into the sword pavilion and saw the heavy expressions on everyone's face, Shangguan Yan immediately realized that something was wrong.

He ducked forward and grabbed Chu Ling'er.

"Ling'er, don't make trouble. Your Majesty and the others must have encountered a problem and are dealing with important matters. My sister will play with you later. Please sit quietly for a while!"

Chu Linger nodded.

Seeing Liu Qingxue frowning, her eyes suddenly started to roll.

I heard Sister Shangguan say that my mother is encountering a problem, right?

Daddy has taught me a lot. If Ling'er can use the knowledge Daddy taught me to solve the problem of my beautiful godmother.

Will the godmother worship and rely on daddy more and more?

Dad said that when a woman is extremely dependent on a man, she is like a locust wrapped around a heron's feet, and she will never be able to leave that man.

So Ling'er only needs to make his godmother rely on his father. When Ling'er goes home to find his father, will his godmother follow him?

Thinking of this, Chu Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea in her heart.

The small body shrank into Liu Qingxue's arms, raised her head and asked curiously.

"Mom, have you encountered any problems? Why don't you tell Ling'er about it?"

"Dad said that Ling'er might be able to help mother with some ideas because of her cleverness!"
