The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

Su Yuntian said, "I think the most urgent thing now is that the infected people are about to reach the capital. Although I have been blessed by my father and have never encountered the plague, I have also read in history books that the Great Saint Kingdom of the previous dynasty had several plagues that spread to the capital. Because it was not well controlled, half of the royal family died, and the entire dynasty eventually declined. So I think the city gates should be closed immediately to prevent the plague from entering the capital."

Su Yu was annoyed when he heard this and said, "Can we close the gates of the capital forever?"

Su Yuntian said: "The gates of the capital must not be closed like this forever. We should recruit doctors from all over the country. Those who can produce effective prescriptions to curb the plague should be rewarded with a large sum of money or ask for a favor from my father."

Su Yu nodded and said, "What about the silver that various places want? The national treasury is empty now, where can we find the silver?"

"I think that a disaster has occurred in the Rilong area. Father, the King, has already distributed disaster relief supplies, but the disaster has not been controlled. Instead, a new round of plague has been triggered. This is not only a natural disaster, but may be a man-made disaster."

"Man-made disaster?" Su Yu frowned and muttered.

"Yes, the disaster victims and the people were not properly resettled with the materials distributed by the court. Instead, the situation became worse and worse. That means some people may have intercepted them and used them to make money from the national disaster."

Su Yu nodded. What Su Yuntian said made sense. The relief supplies that were distributed had indeed gone through layers of distribution. This process involved countless people and procedures. How much of it would actually reach the hands of the victims?

Su Yu said: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Su Yuntian saw that Su Yu's complexion looked much better, so he continued.

“I think that most of these officials are colluding with local evil merchants, and the emperor’s grace cannot reach the people. Now the people are blaming the court for not being properly resettled. We should confiscate the property of these officials who are colluding with the evil merchants and turn their property over to the national treasury, and then use the seized money to show grace to the people. The most important thing is to ease the people’s misunderstanding of the court and transfer the people’s conflicts to those officials who do nothing.

"Yeah!" Su Yu nodded as if he agreed with Su Yuntian's statement, and also seemed to be considering the feasibility of implementation.

"Then what do you think of your father-in-law's memorial?"

Su Yu's words made Su Yuntian's heart, which had just calmed down, rise again.

Su Yuntian knew that Su Yu had always been wary of his marriage with the Mu family, and was even more wary of the prestige of the Mu family army among the people. Su Yu would not increase the grain and manpower for Mu Weihou, and he asked this just to get others to help him say it.

Speaking of Mu Weihou, Su Yuntian couldn't help but think of Mu Jin. Was that woman relying on the support of the Mu family army to ask for a divorce so confidently?

Thinking of this, Su Yuntian said, "I think that our Dongyue Kingdom has just signed a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance with Beiqi Kingdom. Beiqi Kingdom will not break the treaty so quickly. I think General Mu is worrying too much."

Su Yu was very satisfied with Su Yuntian's answer. He nodded and let Su Yuntian continue.

"I think everything is stable at the border. Why should we waste our time and money on General Mu's groundless worries?"

After Su Yuntian finished speaking, Su Yu finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Well, I am very pleased that you can think of this. Since you are the one who came up with the solution, you can do these things."

Hearing Su Yu say this, Su Yuntian couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He was right in thinking this idea, but doing such a thing would offend people.

The officialdom is connected by a line from top to bottom. Sometimes, even if they are just minor officials, touching them is equivalent to touching the people in the upper level. As one of the two kings of Dongyue Kingdom, he needs the support of such people the most.

"Father, I think that at your age, you should gain some experience and help me share your worries. Why not take on this mission~"

"Yi'er, no, you don't need to say more. Let the Ministry of Personnel assist you in this matter by evaluating the performance of officials at all levels. Investigate it thoroughly from beginning to end!"

Su Yuntian was interrupted by Su Yu before he could finish his words. Su Yuntian lowered his head, hiding his flash of resentment, and said, "I obey your orders."

When Su Yuntian returned to the gate of Prince Yun's Mansion, the guards came forward to help him take the whip.

Su Yuntian walked into the palace and asked the guards around him.

"Have you asked the imperial physician to change the medicine for the princess today? I hope the scar won't be left behind." Su Yuntian said, but he didn't expect the guard to tell him that Su Muxue personally came to invite Mu Jin out for a social event today.

When Su Yuntian heard this, he couldn't help but stop and looked displeased.

Suddenly a delicate voice was heard.

"Your Majesty."

Su Yuntian turned his head and looked over, only to see Shen Qianqian with red eyes being supported by Cuixiang, looking at him lovingly.

Su Yuntian felt a little annoyed for no reason when looking at Shen Qianqian like this.

When Shen Qianqian saw Su Yuntian standing there and not walking towards her like before, she felt a little uneasy, so she took the initiative to walk towards Su Yuntian.

"Your Highness, didn't you say yesterday that you would go to Qiushui Garden to accompany Qianqian in the evening? Did you believe what that old woman said and become disgusted with Qianqian?"

Cuixiang also spoke up for Shen Qianqian, saying that Shen Qianqian had waited for Su Yuntian all night last night and had been standing at the gate of the mansion early this morning without even having breakfast, waiting for Su Yuntian until now.

When Su Yuntian saw Shen Qianqian's weak and helpless look, his heart couldn't help but soften a little.

"Don't think too much. My father has assigned me a lot of errands recently. I'm very busy. I will go to your courtyard to accompany you when I have time." After Su Yuntian finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Qianqian grabbed Su Yuntian's arm, tears streaming down her face, looking so pitiful.

"What the prince said to Qianqian yesterday, that he would trust Qianqian, love Qianqian and never abandon Qianqian for the rest of his life, is no longer valid?"

Today, after Su Yuntian dealt with Shen Rong in the palace, he now had to deal with Su Yu. At the moment, he really didn't have enough energy to deal with Shen Qianqian.

Su Yuntian pushed away Shen Qianqian's hand that was on his arm, told Shen Qianqian not to think too much, and walked towards Yunjingyuan without looking back.

In the VIP room of Shuyu Tower, Su Muxue grabbed Mu Jin's hand, and seeing the wrist wrapped in gauze, she couldn't help feeling distressed.

Su Muxue knew that the reason why Mu Jin was deceived by Guangfu this time was partly because she had gone to Prince Yun's Mansion to look for Mu Jin many times in recent days, which allowed Guangfu to take advantage of the opportunity and use her name to trick Mu Jin out of the capital. So today Su Muxue brought Mu Jin to Shuyu Tower and let Mu Jin choose freely.

"Damn it! Zhang Guangfu actually dared to use my name to trick you out of the house and colluded with the bandits to kidnap you. Fortunately, he died quickly, otherwise I would have captured him, avenged Ah Jin, and chopped him into pieces and fed him to the dogs."

"Is Guangfu dead? How come I didn't know?" Mu Jin asked

"Last night, my lady went back to her room to wash up and slept until the princess came to see you today. I didn't have the chance to talk to you." Qing'er added from the side.

Mu Jin raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Guangfu to die so soon.

"I heard that before Guangfu died, he begged to see Shen Qianqian, but Shen Qianqian said to the messenger as if to avoid suspicion that she would not see the person who framed the princess. She also said that if Guangfu still remembered the palace's cultivation of him for more than ten years, he should die to apologize. So when Guangfu heard the messenger's reply, he laughed loudly and bit his tongue to commit suicide."

"Who bit his tongue to commit suicide?"

The three of them turned to look at the door, and saw Su Yi, with a very good face and a smile on his face, walking into the VIP room, followed by Zhao Yefan.
