In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

[Marquis Zhenyuan is indeed a capable man. After more than a month in Shuozhou, the flood relief work has basically begun to be in order, and there are no more casualties.]

Mo Sheng looked at the message Xiao Ba sent her.

[If you stop losses in time, the country will not be destroyed so quickly]

System: [Yes, young master. The people are behaving themselves, the military power of the wise king has been taken back, and the internal troubles have been resolved to some extent.]

Ever since Mo Jinyi confirmed the truth of what Mo Sheng said, he has basically monopolized Mo Sheng and has been inseparable from her.

When Mo Sheng said this, he knew it.

Finally, some of the internal problems have been solved. Let's take it slow, little by little, and pull this country back from the brink of collapse.

This morning's court session.

"Your Majesty, we received a letter from Shuozhou saying that the disaster relief work there is on track."

The prime minister was honest this time and dared not suppress the news anymore.

"However, the court has been implicated in this incident and a large number of positions have become vacant. Your Majesty, you must quickly select people to fill them."

[No, isn't this job the responsibility of the Minister of Personnel? Who did this Prime Minister receive money from to be so impatient to start interfering]

System: [This time it’s because there are people in his family who are of the right age to enter the court.]

Mo Sheng was called by his father to attend the court early in the morning. He hadn't seen his mother today and was in a bad mood.

[I don’t do much of my work every day, but I am quite happy to take money and get involved in other people’s affairs]

The Minister of Personnel has been very distressed recently. His Majesty has killed more than a dozen people in response to the Shuozhou flood, and these people keep asking him for more people every day. How can he have so many people?

The children of officials and aristocrats in the capital are either uneducated or playboys.

Now that the Prime Minister said this, his eyes rolled.

"Mr. Prime Minister, if you ask this, do you have any candidate to recommend?"

"Tell us all about it and see which family this young man belongs to. Maybe we all know him."

All the officials in the court, except Your Majesty.

Everyone knows who his prime minister is. He recommends whoever gives him money.

[The cuckolded king, the Minister of Personnel, is quite tough]

System: [He is short of manpower]

The Prime Minister slowly named the people he recommended.

The Minister of Personnel bowed to the Prime Minister to express his gratitude.

"I am very grateful for the Prime Minister's help. I will investigate these people carefully." The Prime Minister looked at the Minister of Personnel's sarcastic gratitude and wanted to report him.

But he had no evidence.

The Minister of Works stepped forward and talked about the reconstruction of Shuozhou after the flood.

"Your Majesty, the flood in Shuozhou has eased now. But we still need to repair the dam to avoid floods next year."

The Minister of Revenue was very unhappy when he heard this.

It costs money again and again.

Why does he have to spend money everywhere? These people all come to him for money.

There is no money left in the treasury, so where can he go to give money to these people?

"Master Zeng, the dikes in Shuozhou are repaired every year, but floods still occur every year.

The money in the national treasury has just been used for disaster relief, so where is the money left to build a dam for you?"

The Minister of Revenue was a speaker.

"I don't have money, but I want your life. If there is one, I will use my life to repair it for you."

“But if it is solved, Shuozhou will become a fertile land and will no longer be plagued by floods.”

The Minister of Works also argued his case.

That's right. Although it may cost more to build water conservancy projects in the early stages, once the projects are completed the area will no longer be affected by water disasters. Doesn't that save the national treasury a lot of money?

The Minister of Works felt that there was nothing wrong with his proposal.

The Minister of Revenue said later that he directly blamed himself.

Are these people buying vegetables at the market?

Mo Jinyi and Mo Sheng had the same expressionless face as they watched the quarrel among the court officials below.

[As for money, that's easy to solve. There's a very rich man in the palace. He's guilty of a very serious crime anyway. If we pick one of his crimes, we'll have the money, right?]

Mo Jinyi's eyes lit up, yes.

You have to think carefully about what evidence you have that can be used to carry out a legitimate confiscation of your property.

[There is a way to permanently solve the dam problem, but now is not the best time. It can only be done during the dry season.]

Mo Jinyi said that let’s not talk about time yet, you should tell me first.

I discussed it with the court officials first.

[The project is huge and costs a lot of money]

That's something to think about carefully.

[Father, do you still have money now?]

Mo Sheng looked at his father with suspicion.

Mo Jinyi felt that Sheng'er's words were full of sarcasm, because he really had no money left.

Tired.

"Okay, you guys can't come to a conclusion on these things today."

Mo Jinyi carried Mo Sheng away, and Li Desheng followed suit after announcing the adjournment of the court as usual.

Mo Jinyi handed Mo Sheng to Li Desheng and asked him to take him back to find Concubine Rong.

Huaqing Palace

[Mother, mother, your baby Shengsheng is back. I miss you so much.]

Concubine Rong could hear her daughter's soft voice from a distance. She was almost four months old. After her persistent pampering and nice words every day, Sheng'er finally relaxed a little.

"Dear Shengsheng, are you happy going to court with your father today?"

Concubine Rong hugged Mo Sheng, kissed her forehead, and asked gently as usual.

"It seems that the little princess missed her mother after being away from her for the whole morning."

Luzhu and Hongxiu joked when they saw how eager Mo Sheng was to be hugged by Concubine Rong.

[Who wouldn't want a beautiful, fragrant and soft mother?]

When Concubine Rong heard her daughter start praising her again, if she wasn't afraid of being exposed, she would have wanted to tell her brother instead of her mother, who was having so much fun every day.

He got up and carried Mo Sheng to take a walk in the garden.

"Did you hear that?"

A voice sounded.

"What did you hear?"

Another voice asked in confusion.

"Haven't you heard about this? The Yufu Palace where Lipin is is haunted."

The first voice said with some disappointment.

"Ah, no way. Although the Yufu Palace is a little off the beaten track, it is still a popular palace. How can it be haunted?"

Another voice was clearly unconvinced.

"Really? Don't disbelieve it. I saw it with my own eyes last night."

The first one got anxious when she heard that this person didn't believe her.

"Oh, let me be frank. Didn't Eunuch Xiao Dezi want to have me as his consort? He thought that Lipin lived far away and there were not many people there, so he wouldn't be seen."

"He asked me to go over there to chat, but we just met and didn't talk about anything when I heard loud crying in Lipin's palace. There was an echo."

"At first I thought it was Concubine Li who was teaching those disobedient palace maids a lesson."

"I went to inquire about it this morning, but found out that there was nothing going on in their palace."

The first voice began to explain the cause and effect of why he knew.

"Isn't this a haunted place?"

Another voice believed it a little.

"And then, and then, how is Concubine Li now?" Another confident and lively voice came.

They turned around and found that it was Concubine An and the eldest princess who were listening quietly behind them with great interest.

"How dare you! Who is gossiping behind your back?"

A scolding voice also came from in front of the rockery.

[Zi Bu Yu, strange and supernatural, this is obviously an accident in Lipin's palace, okay?]

Mo Sheng also heard it. She guessed that maybe Concubine Li was exposed, but it was not made public due to the royal family's face.

Concubine Rong wanted to tell Mo Sheng that you still say that Zi Bu Yu talks about strange things, supernatural powers, and you are the most special, okay?

After hearing the gossip, you still have to stop it.

It would be bad if it got out.

When she tried to stop him, Anpin's voice rang out at the same time.

Concubine An came out with the eldest princess and the two palace maids following behind her.

"Sister Rongfei, how are you?"

"Hello, Madam Rong."

"Sister Anpin, if you want to eat melons, we can just go find the Queen. Why are you fooling around with them?"

Concubine Rong held Mo Sheng in her arms and spoke softly to Concubine An who came out from behind the rockery.

"Sister Rong Fei, I just heard it when I was walking here. I was curious, so I came in to take a look."

Concubine Rong looked at Concubine An who looked innocent in front of her and shook her head helplessly.

She also knew that Concubine An just liked to watch the fun and she still had some sense of propriety, so she just said a few words and let it go.

"Take these two people with us and go to the Queen to ask for information."

Although Rong Fei knew what happened with Lipin from her daughter, she still wanted to hear the story from the person involved.

[I now understand why my mother, who is such an elegant and quiet person, became friends with Concubine An, who is so lively and cheerful. It turns out that they have the same hobbies.]

Mo Sheng laughed at his mother in his heart.
