The disaster of the nation suddenly descended upon the king, and his subjects suffered the wrath of heaven.
This loss of the son is hard to conceive, and the king's heart ached to conceal it from Rong'er.
Within the palace, Xuan Ye looked at the flustered looks on his subjects' faces and lightly shook his head, ”Ming Zhu, what's the situation like now?”
”When we return to the emperor, there are many houses in the capital that have collapsed, and the people are crying incessantly.” Ming Zhu cupped her hands and replied.
”This is the divine punishment!” Xuan Ye looked up at the sky and heaved a long sigh. Before Xuan Ye had summoned everyone, he had received a request from the Left Censor-in-Chief, Wei Xiangdi, to impeach him for the crime of forming a faction and extorting power. Although Xuan Ye had refuted him in his face, he was still furious in his heart, and obviously, Wei Xiangshu's melody had shocked Xuan Ye. He angrily rebuked the officials on his knees, ”Since you were appointed, your family has been quite wealthy. The world has done evil in many ways, and the heavens will surely report this disaster. Our government in the imperial court has not yet satisfied the heavens. From today onwards, we shall be strict with ourselves, be more diligent in our work, and strive to build a province. ”All the princes and officials shall be punished for their own crimes, washed their lungs and intestines, changed their ways of life with patriotism and set their hearts on behalf of the nation. If anyone fails to change his mind, the laws of the country will be in place and they will not be forgiven!”
”This subject and others are terrified, I will definitely report this to my country!” Seeing that Xuan Ye was infuriated, the ministers hurriedly knelt down to deliver the decree.
Xuan Ye nodded and ordered, ”Minister of Revenue, Isanar. Investigate the casualties and disasters in the capital city. Give me a reply within two days.”
”Your subject obeys the decree.” Issandr, Minister of Revenue, rose to answer the order.
Xuan Ye nodded. ”The Minister of Industry, Wang Guangyu. The Ministry of Industry should investigate the damage to the buildings, including the damage to the imperial government. Report it to me immediately …”
As soon as Xuan Ye's voice fell, he did not see Wang Guangyu respond. Instead, he shouted, ”Where is Wang Guangyu?”
”Reporting to your majesty!” Mingzhu took a step forward and reported. Earlier, the imperial court had not seen Lord Wang's arrival, and this official had already sent someone to inform him that he had not returned yet.
Before Ming Zhu could finish her words, the guard beside Xuan Ye, Cao Yin, entered the hall and cupped his hands in greeting. ”Reporting to Your Majesty, the person who just went to report to the Minister of Industry, Lord Wang, he …”
”What happened to him?” Xuan Ye's heart tightened as he stood up and asked.
”The houses in Lord Wang's house have all fallen. Without seeing Lord Wang and his family, I'm afraid that they have all been buried under the houses.” Cao Yin lowered his head and reported.
”What?” Xuan Ye felt dizzy and mumbled to himself, ”Ming Zhu, all the officials in the capital should also conduct a thorough check to see if any officials have been harmed.” Xuan Ye gently waved his hand. ”Withdraw from the court. Everyone, go and save yourself the trouble!”
After exiting the palace, Xuan Ye gave the order to go to Yikun Palace. Xuan Ye felt that his head hurt, and it was time for him to reflect on what he had done in the past few years. After years of war, he had put all of his experiences into war, and neglected the management of government, government, and government officials.
Xiao Qing was feeding her soup, and Rong'er already knew that her child was gone. Therefore, when Xiao Qing told her about it, although she was in pain, she didn't say anything. She almost died, but this time, she really did feel like she died, and suddenly she remembered Yin'er.
