For a while.
The Jinluan Palace once again fell into an eerie silence.
Inside the palace.
Xu Yi looked at the aloof Emperor Zhengde with a magnanimous expression.
His eyes were clear, and there was no trace of embarrassment or nervousness.
Behind him.
Chang Shuirong, the minister on the left side of the imperial censor's desk, has his head slightly lowered and his hands raised above his head in a salute.
The wide sleeves of the crimson court dress fell naturally, completely covering Chang Shuirong's cheeks.
This made it impossible for everyone to judge Chang Shuirong's inner thoughts at this time through his expression.
On the dragon throne, Emperor Zhengde, whose face could not be seen clearly, burst out with an indescribable and powerful pressure.
That was the majesty of a superior person that was subtly cultivated during the twenty-nine years since Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne.
It can also be called Longwei.
Longwei came out from Emperor Zhengde, like a dead soldier charging into battle, and rushed straight towards Xu Yi.
In an instant, Xu Yi seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, with dragon power from Emperor Zhengde coming from all directions.
The dragon's power overflowed inadvertently.
Just the spillage alone frightened Chang Shuirong to the point where he almost fell to his knees.
The civil and military officials were so shocked that they did not dare to make the slightest move.
From this we can imagine what kind of terrifying pressure Xu Yi was facing at this time.
However, from beginning to end, Xu Yi's face did not change at all.
Still looking magnanimous.
In fact, Xu Yi's back was completely soaked at some point.
How could it be that the majesty of a superior person cultivated by Emperor Zhengde during his twenty-nine years on the throne could not be resisted so easily.
It is already very difficult to keep the complexion unchanged.
Time seemed to have completely stopped at this moment.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe a few breaths.
Emperor Zhengde on the dragon throne moved slightly.
The majesty that swept the entire Jinluan Palace instantly dissipated like a tide.
The moment the majesty disappeared.
Shangguan Lu, the chief assistant, wearing a large purple court uniform, slowly walked out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, I think what Chang Shilang said is unreasonable."
"Guanzhong is where the capital is located, and it is also the lifeblood of our Zhou Dynasty. There is no room for loss."
"The Sixth Prince is certainly resourceful, but he is still too young after all."
"If a decision is made carelessly, it may endanger the fate of the country."
"I hope your Majesty will be aware of this."
Assessing the situation and figuring out what is best are the basic qualities of a qualified official.
As the chief minister of the dynasty, Shangguan Lu naturally became more proficient in this skill.
"I second my opinion."
If there is one, then there are two.
As soon as Shangguan Lu finished speaking, Yao Yanjin, a scholar from the Second Assistant Jinshen Palace, quickly came out to second the proposal.
"I second the proposal."
Naturally, the other pavilion elders were not willing to lag behind and came forward one after another to second the proposal.
Compared with Chang Shuirong, these old guys are naturally better in moral conduct.
"I second the proposal."
If someone stands out, there will be others who will follow suit.
There are few officials who can take this step to the Jinluan Palace. They are real fools.
From Xu Yi's words, they heard a strong smell of blood.
Outside the city, there are those large and small aristocratic families that are leaning on the Zhou Dynasty to draw nutrients.
There is a more or less unclear relationship with them.
If not, how could those big and small aristocratic families be so crazy?
How could they allow Xu Yi to hold great power and live and die as he pleased?
When the Jinluan Hall was full of voices of agreement, the expression on Xu Yi's face did not change at all.
It was as if all this was expected by him.
Emperor Zhengde, who was always paying attention to Xu Yi's face, couldn't help but nodded slightly when he saw this.
"Xu Yi."
As soon as Emperor Zhengde's voice came out, all the voices of agreement in the court instantly dispersed like birds and beasts.
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Xu Yi, who was named by Emperor Zhengde.
They knew that the real results were coming.
"I'm here."
Xu Yi bowed his hands in salute, without any trace of nervousness or anxiety in his voice.
"Guanzhong is the lifeblood of the country and cannot be lost."
"However, the severe drought in Guanzhong also requires no delay."
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary actions should be taken."
"I can entrust you with the full responsibility for disaster relief."
"But I can't wait for the results."
"You are taking the lead in this disaster relief, and the imperial court will also send a special envoy to monitor it."
"Do you have any complaints?"
Emperor Zhengde slowly stood up, and a huge majesty enveloped Xu Yi's body again.
This was already the biggest concession that Emperor Zhengde could make.
"I have no complaints."
Xu Yi looked as usual and answered respectfully.
His original goal was to gain absolute dominance, but now he just lost the power of life and death.
Everything is calculated.
"Tell me your second request."
Emperor Zhengde withdrew his gaze and walked slowly on the high platform.
"yes."
"My second request is to ask Your Majesty to mobilize the idle imperial doctors in the palace to provide relief to the victims."
Every time there is a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic, and now it is the cold season of winter.
The victims were already without food and clothing, and their resistance naturally declined rapidly.
If you want to provide disaster relief, you need to save people first. Xu Yi knows this better than anyone present.
"allow!"
Hearing that he was just asking for the idle imperial doctor in the palace, Emperor Zhengde agreed without saying a word and waved his hand.
Everything is lacking in the palace, except for the imperial doctor.
In one Taiyuan hospital alone, there are more than ten national experts and nearly a hundred experts.
Not to mention those who are excellent in medical skills.
"Tell me your third request."
Emperor Zhengde's expression remained unchanged and he slowly asked.
"yes."
"My third request is that your Majesty please allocate 100 people from the Ministry of Household Affairs, 100 people from the Ministry of Punishment, and 500 people from the Ministry of Works to assist in disaster relief."
Disaster relief is not simply about distributing intact food to the people and counting it as disaster relief.
There are many things involved.
Because of this, Xu Yi asked for a hundred people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to register, check people's household registrations, and coordinate the granaries in various places.
The transfer of a hundred people from the Ministry of Punishment is to alert local governments not to cause trouble, as the Ministry of Punishment has the right to arraign cases at any time and at any time.
Five hundred people from the Ministry of Industry were transferred to provide better disaster relief. The specific reason was not convenient for Xu Yi to explain at this time.
Everything will not be known until we conduct on-site inspections in the disaster area.
"allow."
Emperor Zhengde did not hesitate at all, and agreed again with a wave of his hand.
It's nothing more than the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works.
As long as the Ministry of War is not involved, everything is easy to discuss.
"My lord, thank you for your kindness."
Xu Yi's face straightened and he saluted again.
At this point, Xu Yi finally took the first step out of Youningyuan of Zongzheng Temple.
Although this step is shocking every step of the way, from time to time someone will jump out and cause trouble.
However, the final result is still good after all.
Only by taking the first step can there be a second step.
If you can't even take the first step, how can you take the second or third step?
Emperor Zhengde walked towards the dragon chair.
Sit down slowly.
When Emperor Zhengde sat on the dragon throne again.
This also means that this court meeting has truly come to an end.
