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

Mo Sheng tried hard to recall the plot of the article.

Xiao Ba looked at Mo Sheng in his mind and saw his expression twisted as he recalled this incident. It seemed like he couldn't remember it at all. Xiao Ba sighed helplessly.

System: [Young Master, let me tell you. This year's flood in Shuozhou is the largest in recent years. Moreover, the losses in Shuozhou were heavy, and only a few people in the four counties survived.]

Very few?

That's impossible. No matter how big the flood is, unless it submerges the entire city, the worst that can happen is that you lose your property and become homeless.

Unless there is no one to provide disaster relief.

[Is there something wrong with the two people that Father sent to represent the court in disaster relief? Otherwise, it wouldn't be this tragic.]

System: [Yes, that Imperial Censor claimed to be an honest official, but he deceived the emperor, rested his head on gold, built his bed with silver, and even though he couldn't sleep at night, he embezzled more than 500,000 disaster relief funds.]

Hearing this, Mo Jinyi's face darkened and he almost couldn't control the anger in his body.

There are so many people in the four counties of Shuozhou, how dare these people do this?

He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself, and continued listening.

System: [The Xian Wang boasts of his talent and is unwilling to be inferior to others. He has made some moves behind the scenes, but has never had regular troops. This time, sending him to Shuozhou is a good opportunity for him. He and the Imperial Censor are in cahoots, one is greedy for power, the other is greedy for money.]

Mo Sheng: […………These people are really capable. I don’t know how many lives they have left. For the sake of money and power, they have disregarded the lives of the common people.]

Mo Sheng couldn't suppress her anger. As a director of a group in her previous life, she had a lot of dealings with the government.

It's not that I haven't come across officials of this type before, but no matter how greedy they are for money and power, no one dares to joke with the lives of people in a state.

System: [This is the case with the higher-ups and the officials below who were involved. They neglected their duties and indulged in pleasure. By the time they discovered that this year’s flood was different from previous years, it was already too late.

In order to avoid punishment, these people actually reported the flood according to the previous flood standards, and the court also had their people to help conceal it, so naturally your father just thought that this year's flood was the same as usual. 】

Mo Sheng: [What are the plans of those people behind? Among all the officials below, is there no one who cares about the people? Unfortunately, I am still a swaddled baby, I can’t speak, my hands can’t write, and I don’t know how to remind my father of the true situation of the flood.]

Mo Sheng feels a little powerless at her current age. If she were older, she would be able to remind her father to pay more attention.

Mo Jinyi heard Mo Sheng ask the question that he also wanted to ask.

Yes, he also wanted to know, in such a big country, these people received salaries from the court, but no one cared about the people.

System: [The bad guys said: "After killing tens of thousands of refugees, we can bribe people and frame those who stand in our way. It won't be difficult to conceal this matter."

There are also capable and talented officials who are dedicated to the country and the people. They are saddened by the people's miserable lives, but their power is too small and too weak to fight against the oppression of the aristocratic families and the protection of officials. They cannot change the overall situation and cannot save the people.

Mo Sheng: [So, those people were afraid that the truth would be exposed, so they kept them in their posts forever? ]

System [Yes, in the end, the person who took the biggest blame for this incident was your father, who was called a tyrant, and provided a great slogan for the subsequent rebellion and removal of the emperor.]

After hearing this, Mo Jinyi couldn't bear it any longer.

These people were so bold and arrogant that they allowed his country and his people to be oppressed by them, and in the end he had to take the blame.

He slammed his hand on the table angrily.

"presumptuous"

The voice was so loud that Mo Sheng, who was held in his arms, was frightened and came back to his senses from what Xiao Ba said.

[Father, you are suddenly going crazy for no reason. What is the reason for your anger?]

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." The palace maid was frightened by the emperor's sudden anger and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Concubine Rong also came back to her senses from what she had just heard, and was frightened by Mo Jinyi's sudden anger. She was confused and didn't know why the emperor was so moody. He seemed quite happy just now.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. But Sheng'er hurt you." She looked at Mo Jinyi carefully, staring at the child in his arms.

She was afraid that His Majesty would get too angry and throw the child away. What should she do?

"Nothing." Mo Jinyi handed Mo Sheng to Concubine Rong, took the tea beside him and took a sip, rubbed his aching forehead, and calmed down.

"I just told you about the flood in Shuozhou. After thinking about it carefully, I feel that this matter went too smoothly. It is really a bit strange." Mo Jinyi found an excuse that was reasonable and not likely to arouse suspicion, and said to Concubine Rong.

"Concubine Rong, take good care of Sheng'er. I still have a pile of memorials to be approved in my imperial study. I will come to see you and your daughter another day." Mo Jinyi stood up and prepared to leave, just at this moment.

System: [Young Master, your father's melon. I can't hear it.]

Mo Sheng: [What's his melon? Every day, besides handling state affairs, he goes to the harem to favor a concubine. What's even more outrageous is that he plays some new tricks with his women. You can guess it.]

System [………My dear master, you are getting off topic. Although I am a melon-eating system, I am a melon-eating system with principles. I eat serious melons, okay?]

Mo Jinyi and Rong Fei also looked helpless. Their daughter looked serious, but how could she have such frivolous thoughts?

Mo Jinyi: [Isn't it? I'm a little disappointed. Actually, I'm quite curious, huh? Didn't the emperor just say he was leaving? Why hasn't he left yet? ]

Mo Jinyi: "... cough cough... my throat is a little dry, I'll have another cup of tea before I leave." He sat back down, holding the teacup in his hand and continued drinking.

System: […Young Master…Forget it, let me be frank. Your father’s Secretariat is like a sieve. The memorials sent to him are carefully selected. They only send good news or greetings from officials from all over the country. For the rest, they will pick a few minor matters and send them every month.]

Mo Sheng: [Hahaha, no, I think my father can play Les Miserables by himself. He is surrounded by stupid teammates.]

Mo Sheng couldn't help but grin. She felt very sorry for her old father. It had been very difficult for him over the years.

[Fixing holes here and there, patching leaks there, patching up one pile and there's still one more. ]

Mo Jinyi: “…………” Who am I, where am I, what am I doing, did I commit any sins in my previous life, that in this life I met a bunch of stupid teammates, was called a tyrant, and even lost my country?

I'm beginning to doubt my life.

He got up and left in a daze. Even if there was something wrong with the memorial, he still had to approve it.

Li Desheng, who was serving on the side, felt that there was something very wrong with their Majesty today and he seemed a bit nervous.

"Li Desheng, send someone to investigate the flood in Shuozhou privately. I feel that this matter is going too smoothly. Send people to investigate the other counties as well. These people are too obedient."

Mo Jinyi had just thought about it on the way and decided to use his own power to investigate first. These people in the court were really not trustworthy.

After receiving the order, Li Desheng sent something out in a special way. If nothing goes wrong, he will receive what His Majesty wants at noon tomorrow.

As the ruler of a country, the emperor also has some power in the dark. An intelligence agency, Shadow, roams the streets and alleys, inquiring about various news. He has always been a secret guard, responsible for the emperor's safety.

Shadow had always been under the management of Li Desheng, the chief eunuch, and Mo Jinyi had never used it because he trusted the court officials. But these people seemed to think his trust was cheap?

After Li Desheng sent the message, he saw his apprentice peeking at the door of the imperial study.

"What are you doing...what are you doing...Your Majesty is in a bad mood today. You are so rash. Be careful or you will be punished by His Majesty later." Li Desheng walked out of the door, stretched out his finger and poked Qing Yu's forehead and said.

"Master, I was wrong. I just wanted to tell you that Concubine Cheng and Concubine An came to the imperial study just now and said they wanted to deliver cakes to His Majesty, but I stopped them." Qing Yu scratched the back of his head and said to his master naively.

"I understand. You did a good job." Li Desheng said that he had an idea in mind. He asked his apprentice to return to his post and he also hurried in to serve His Majesty.

Huaqing Palace

Mo Sheng was carried back and forth by Concubine Rong, looking at his mother who looked dazed.

[Mother, please stop shaking. Your daughter is about to faint. It's not that serious. You can't bear to see your father leave right after he left.]

When Concubine Rong heard this, she came to her senses, looked at her cute daughter rolling her eyes at her, and glanced at Mo Sheng with evil intentions.

“Ahhh…ahhh…ahhh…ah…” Mo Sheng was speechless at her mother’s evil intentions and tried to protest by babbling.

"Hahaha, dear baby, it's okay... okay... mother won't tease you anymore." Concubine Rong laughed when she saw that she was so anxious that she almost spoke.

Hongxiu and Luzhu, who were standing by, looked at this heartwarming scene and smiled.

Daughters are indeed the best. Look at the empress, she is so happy. Huaqing Palace has become much more lively.

[Mother, you are going too far. Look, Hongxiu and Luzhu are both laughing at you for bullying a child.]

Rong Fei smiled at her softly without saying anything. She turned her head to look out the window and said to Hong Xiu and Lu Zhu.

"The weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk"
