The next morning, I went to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
The ministers had returned to their former vigor and bustle, having long forgotten the matter of Fang Wanlin.
It was as if this horrific incident had never existed.
It's none of your business, just hang it up high.
This has been true throughout the ages!
Song Liang deliberately looked at Song Huan's face, trying to find some unusual expressions in his words and deeds.
What if those eyeliners disappear at the same time, is it really related to him?
But Song Huan's expression was no different from usual. Even when others were discussing it as if nothing had happened, the expression on his face was still a little solemn.
It seems that he hasn't gotten over what happened before!
Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with him?
Song Liang was extremely confused and couldn't figure it out!
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze..."
Song Huan's nose itched, and he couldn't hold it back and sneezed three times in a row.
I don’t know who is scolding me behind my back, and the scolding is quite unpleasant!
Before he had time to think about it, he saw Emperor Liang striding to the dragon chair and sitting down, accompanied by the eunuch's loud announcement.
"Long live your majesty!"
"Let's get married for free!"
Emperor Liang waved his hand and immediately faced Cheng Xun: "Prime Minister, how is the progress of the disasters in various places?"
Cheng Xun's face turned a little pale and still didn't look good.
However, since Emperor Liang asked about the disaster, Cheng Xun still took a step forward and bowed his hand to Emperor Liang.
"Your Majesty, the resettlement houses for the victims of the snow disaster in Youzhou have been completed."
"We are now arranging for the victims to move in in an orderly manner and distributing food and frostbite ointment to the people."
"Victims of the drought in Guanzhong have also returned to Guanzhong one after another. There are still some who are more stubborn and it may take some time to dissuade them."
"Overall, it's going pretty smoothly."
Hearing this, all the courtiers couldn't help but show admiration on their faces.
Where does this progress go "fairly well"?
It was an unprecedented success!
In the past, if we did not spend three months each year to resettle victims and deal with disasters, it would be impossible to see any results.
However, in less than a month this year, the disaster-stricken people in both places were able to receive such proper resettlement.
I have to say that the Prime Minister's efficiency is definitely among the best among the courtiers in Daliang!
Emperor Liang was very excited: "Very good!"
"Prime Minister, you, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites have done a good job in handling the disaster this time."
"Of course, I also know in my heart that this has nothing to do with Prince Rong's unique handling method!"
"Fourth, you did a good job!"
Song Huan took a step forward and said with a low-key smile: "To solve my father's problems and contribute my strength to the people of the world, all these are what a son should do!"
Everything Song Huan said is true, and there is no falsehood at all.
It's just that verbal rewards don't count. I just hope that the emperor's father will never forget the three-month agreement he once promised to me!
What you want me to do in three months, I can do it in one month.
Then the crown prince position you promised me should not be counted, right?
Emperor Liang was very satisfied with Song Huan's answer, but before the smile on his face dissipated, he heard Cheng Xun speak again: "But..."
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The situation... is very serious!"
Upon hearing this, the expression on Emperor Liang's face froze instantly.
"What's the matter?"
Cheng Xun sighed lowly: "It's still the same old thing!"
"Every department of the Tea Horse Division has been built, including the corresponding stations in the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom has also completed preparations."
"It's just that the Tea Horse Company in Anning County still can't start construction!"
"Furthermore, I have discussed with several adults from the Ministry of Rites that Anning County is located at the junction of Daliang and Xia Kingdom."
"The Tea Horse Division here must be built!"
"Now that Xia Guo has repeatedly urged it, Anning County has been unable to start groundbreaking."
"If it drags on any longer..."
Hearing this, Song Huan also frowned deeply.
It took a lot of thought before Xia Wenqi, the eldest son of Xia Kingdom, reluctantly agreed and persuaded the Xia prince to agree to the tea-horse mutual trade policy.
But now, Xia Guo is actively cooperating, but Daliang has fallen out of control again.
If this matter spread to the Xia Kingdom, wouldn't it make the Xia Kingdom people laugh out loud!
Emperor Liang was furious: "How outrageous!"
"How can a small Anning County still have to wait for a beam as big as mine?"
"It just so happens that all of you are here for the morning court meeting today!"
"Is there any dear friend who is willing to step forward to represent the Liang court and serve as this imperial envoy?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence in the court!
The courtiers all buried their heads like ostriches, fearing that Emperor Liang would see them.
The legend about An Ning has been spreading among the ministers since the last time. It is extremely mysterious!
Some people even say that An Ning people have been raising Gu since childhood.
If anyone goes there rashly, if the locals in An Ning use it as a container for cultivating poisonous insects, then the evil spirit will not be able to be dispelled in this lifetime!
Although the temptation of promotion and promotion is not small, life is definitely still the most important.
No one wants to risk their lives in such a useless place just for the sake of being in the limelight!
Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and remained unmoved, not even daring to take a breath, Emperor Liang was furious.
"how?"
"It's just a small Anning County!"
"I'm not asking you to go up the mountain of knives or into the sea of fire!"
"Are you all too scared to say anything?"
"I am ashamed of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Shutong took a step forward, saluted Emperor Liang and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Wei Chen has something to say, I wonder if I should say it?"
Emperor Liang was most annoying when he spoke in a whiny manner, so he immediately waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
The smile on Sun Shutong's face was very strange: "Weichen just had a sudden idea and thought of something!"
"Throughout the ages, it seems that most imperial envoys have been civil servants."
"But who stipulates that only civilian officials can serve as imperial envoys?"
"Military generals can also serve as imperial envoys to serve His Majesty!"
"Moreover, when military generals enter and leave the battlefield, they bring with them a sense of oppression and momentum, which can further demonstrate the power of the Emperor of the Great Liang!"
"So Wei Chen suggested that when faced with An Ning this time, His Majesty could send a military general as an imperial envoy to represent Daliang!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone began to discuss in low voices.
"A military general is an imperial envoy? Most military generals have bad tempers and are very stupid! How do you become an imperial envoy?"
"Yes! This Lord Sun's idea is really a different approach. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for military generals to serve as imperial envoys!"
"Master Sun said that, could it be that he already has someone he wants to recommend?"
Emperor Liang was a little confused: "Yes, you asked me to choose a general. Do you have a recommended candidate?"
Sun Shutong smiled mysteriously: "Yes, there is a military commander who is very suitable. I highly recommend it!"
"This man is the young and promising General Cheng Tianlin, the Pioneer General and the head of Kaifeng Prefecture!"
