C3663 (2/2)
The good old Yi Xuan quickly tried to smooth things over. ”Please calm down, Empress Dowager! Please calm down! ”I'm really short on time. According to the schedule, I should have already passed Tianjin, even if I'm two days late, I can still enter Beijing!”
”Empress Dowager, do you know how much loess the imperial government has to prepare for this route? It's not because I'm worried about money, it's really not. It's because I don't have enough time! ”
”According to the rules, His Majesty has to travel on the road three times, no less than three inches. They have to go to several fixed villages in the west of the capital to collect all the loess …”
”I estimate that it will take at least ten days if we do not have twenty thousand manmade men.”
”And the commoners, they are all incredibly stupid. It would take at least three days of training for them to kowtow and only then would they be able to ensure that there are no mistakes …”
”Esteemed Empress Dowager, if you don't train well, then when His Majesty returns to the capital, these group of people will kowtow in disorder. The adults will laugh at the children's cries, and if they run into the imperial carriage, that would be bad …”
Since the two dukes had expressed their opposition, Ci Xi could not afford to lose face. Recently, Ci Xi had gradually gotten used to the core rights of power, and in a small scale battle with the imperial government, he was able to win.
He was at his peak, how could he bear not giving face!
”Haha …” Hahaha … Good, good, good. He really is a good servant! Since the two princes have expressed their disagreement, I shall listen to the others! ”
This time, the remaining ministers were all staring at each other with wide eyes. They would provoke anyone who chose to support them, so what was the best course of action?
Yi Tian sneered at the group of officials who had revealed troubled expressions, ”I don't care anymore. If anyone has the ability, they can take this job. Once it's done, I'll go back and set some wine to thank them!”
It was a threat, a blatant threat! The meaning was too clear. Whoever nodded in agreement, he or she would think of a way to clean the streets, then organize the commoners to welcome him or her!
Who would dare to take this job? To be able to bring the Deisenmun to Xuanwu and then to the main roads of the Caishikou and the Sky Bridge to be covered with dirt for three inches?
Even deities could not do it!
”This... ”This …” Everyone was grinding their teeth.
But she never thought that Yi Xuan would come to kill his again. Not just the inner city, even the roads leading to the Tongzhou would have to be paved with dirt! ”
”Good boy, this is a big deal! ”We can't forget this road, and the villages along the way, the people have to organize themselves as well!”
Yi Feng laughed coldly, ”That's right!” ”Welcome back to the capital. We should at least have a colored shed along the way. Lanterns and silk flowers should be hung on the trees by the roadside, right?”
”We'll do it now. I want to see who can do it!”
At this point, all the officials shook their heads, ”This official is useless, I really can't handle this!”
Now, the officials had offended all of Ci Xi!
”Hehe …” Good, good, good … So loyal! Your little thoughts are all spent on this? ”
Ci Xi's shrill voice resonated within the Yangxin Palace, ”What are all of you planning?! ”What intentions do you have?!”
