"The Imperial Master deserves this reward." Emperor Yongle did not expect to back down. He raised his head and said to the crowd: "Not to mention that the Imperial Master has saved me from danger many times, but only to talk about the several abilities that the Imperial Master has used. There are two ways to keep the people fed. If you find one of them that can help the people escape their current hardships, then you can be a national master."
"If any of you know the two, I will not be stingy with the rewards for you. In the current national crisis, the people are struggling, and instead of doing practical things for the people, you come to question the rewards for the meritorious officials. You are Do you want me to be a ruthless and ungrateful emperor?"
Baiguan: I don’t dare.
Strong words.
They just don't want this woman to be in power.
The life-saving grace was huge, but he didn't want the emperor to reward this woman for the sake of this life-saving grace.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers and others are in favor of you rewarding this girl...but the position of National Preceptor is of great importance, so please think twice."
"Your Majesty, please think again."
A group of people screamed and knelt down as soon as they asked. Look at that posture, it's like the new emperor can't afford his life if he doesn't take back.
Minghua looked frivolous and simply turned her head away.
The smile on Emperor Yongle's face faded, and his expression became unpredictable, "Okay, my decree has been issued, and it is true to its word."
After saying that, he ignored the ministers and stood up.
"National Master, will you come with me?"
"Can."
The two walked side by side, and the civil and military officials stood up obediently. They knelt here, and the emperor ignored them. He called the imperial master and left without paying any attention to them. This was not the case when the emperor was in power. If the courtiers strongly recommend it, the emperor will hesitate, or even withdraw his orders to a large extent.
Where did he come from?
That doesn't exist.
"National Preceptor, the policies you mentioned can now be implemented. I wonder if the National Preceptor can explain it in detail?"
"It may not be appropriate for Your Majesty to listen to it alone, so why not call on your closest ministers to listen together? If there are any mistakes or omissions, you can find them out immediately and let the doctor record them carefully." Finally, it was compiled into a disaster response manual.
Once a disaster response manual is available, it will be of great benefit to the Yongle Dynasty of Li State without any harm.
Emperor Yongle rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, I listen to the Imperial Master; Xiao Quanzi, go and invite the Duke of Fu, Duke of Zhen, the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, and the Cabinet Ministers to come together."
"yes."
Xiao Quanzi took a detour and walked away.
Emperor Yongle brought people into the Qianqing Palace and asked Minghua to sit down. He sat opposite Minghua instead of sitting on a high seat and looking down.
"Your Majesty, some adults have arrived."
"please come in."
Xiao Quanzi turned sideways and let the nine people into Qianqing Palace.
As soon as the nine people entered the Qianqing Palace, they greeted each other first, saying, "The humble minister pays homage to your majesty, your majesty."
"Grandpa, brother-in-law, please sit down, adults. I invite you here to discuss how to deal with the disasters that have plagued Li Country for many years. The National Master has a good idea to provide, let's listen together."
Everyone turned their attention to the girl sitting in the first seat on the left. She had young cheeks and looked young. Unexpectedly, she was calm and steady. Many officials in their forties and fifties could not sit as firmly as she did.
"What do you think the Imperial Master has to say?" The person who spoke was a cabinet minister who was over fifty years old, with a slightly hunched back, bright eyes, and high energy. ….
The chief minister of the cabinet glanced at him and sat down next to Minghua; then he bowed to Minghua as a sign of respect.
The other officials followed and sat down, and the chairs in Qianqing Palace were filled with people in just a moment.
Minghua smiled at him, then looked at the questioning official, and said indifferently: "I am not from Li country, nor from other countries. I have no ill intentions towards your country. Of course, it is just a chance that I can sit here today. It’s a coincidence, but I can’t help but see how miserable the people’s lives are.”
"I understand that the Imperial Preceptor cares about the people and does not seek fame or fortune; however, having the title of Imperial Preceptor makes it easier for the Imperial Preceptor to act."
Minghua: I’m afraid I haven’t given up on tying her to Li Country.
Idea.
Emperor Yongle would naturally not admit this. Some things can be plotted slowly, but cannot be spoken out; even if you know it and I know it, and everyone knows it well, they can't say it. Once you say it, you will face rejection, there is no doubt about it.
The ministers reserved their opinions.
The emperor sat down at his usual place, where he would sit and record the emperor's daily life; he would also record how the emperor loved the people, how wise he was, and so on. Anyway, it was almost the same as writing historical records.
"In that case, please invite the Imperial Master."
Emperor Yongle expressed his stance personally, which showed that he really valued her; the eight ministers did not attack again, but just waited for the opportunity.
Minghua nodded slightly and said, "Then I will briefly talk about it. If there are any omissions or mistakes, you can modify them and make suggestions. Our common goal is to let the people live a good life."
Eight ministers:......
How can this make them black?
Look how well she understands righteousness, even Emperor Yongle felt that she was not interested in fame and fortune, but simply came here for the people.
"Just say so, Imperial Master," Emperor Yongle said quickly.
"After rescuing His Highness the Crown Prince, I once asked His Highness the Crown Prince what disasters there were in the country of Li. As far as I know, floods are not inevitable or even weakened, droughts are not impossible to overcome by diverting water, and plagues are not incurable diseases. Curing insect plagues, wolf plagues, etc., apart from locust plagues, in fact, there are also countermeasures to locust plagues."
The eight ministers remained silent and stared at her, waiting for the next step.
Emperor Yongle nodded slightly. He had roughly talked about this before.
Minghua talked about many ways to deal with natural and man-made disasters intermittently, and Qi Julang recorded them all in a book. Then, the eight ministers took turns to look at it, and then gathered together to discuss it. Emperor Yongle looked at Minghua in a daze.
Minghua lowered her eyes to drink tea and eat snacks.
After the eight ministers finished their discussion, they walked up to Minghua and bowed their thanks together, "Thank you, Master. If these methods are implemented, many casualties will be reduced."
"I'm just giving an idea. As for how to do it, you need to conduct on-site investigation. It would be better if there are talents who are good at management." Professional things require professional people.
"You can tell us these methods, which is the greatest help to our country."
After the eight ministers were convinced, they no longer wanted to slander her. After putting aside their prejudices, they instead lowered their bodies and asked for advice. It is a good habit to ask if you don't understand. And the eight ministers can sit in their current positions. Naturally they have such good habits. If you don't understand, I would come over to ask, and if I had any ideas, I would discuss them with her.
Minghua is open to anyone who wants to understand or learn from this. She teaches everything she knows. As for the final implementation of it in various places, that is a matter between them and the imperial court.
She just talked and enjoyed the mortal life; she went out for a walk to see the impermanence of the world, and occasionally experienced the life of the people. In this way, she stayed in Li Country for two years.
In the past two years, Li has undergone earth-shaking changes. .
