Emperor Zhengde sat down slowly.
The entire Jinluan Palace returned to deathly silence again.
Everyone knows that the great court meeting after the heaven-sacrifice ceremony has officially come to an end.
But is this really the end?
No.
This is just the beginning of another drought.
"Xu Yi."
A majestic voice came out of Emperor Zhengde's mouth.
"I'm here!"
Xu Yi had no choice but to salute again. God knows how many salutes he had made today.
How much I hated the cumbersome etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty.
"From now on, you are allowed to take up the post of Jing Zhaoyin."
"General in charge of the specific matters of disaster relief in Guanzhong."
Emperor Zhengde made the final decision, and at this point, there was no possibility of turning around the incident.
"I accept the decree!"
Xu Yi responded loudly and became the fourth official to be appointed to Jing Zhaoyin in the 29 years of Zhengde.
"Shang Shu!"
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Justice!"
"Minister of Industry!"
Emperor Zhengde's majestic voice sounded again, but this time the target was three ministers.
"I'm here!"
"I'm here!"
"I'm here!"
After hearing this, Tian Yichu and the others quickly walked out of the queue and saluted respectfully.
"The Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishment each dispatched hundreds of people to provide disaster relief. They have full authority to take orders from the Sixth Prince Xu Yi!"
"Among the hundred people selected, there should be one Yuanwai Lang and two principals."
Yuanwailang is an official of the fifth rank, and the principal is an official of the sixth rank.
It may seem that the official position is not high, but don't forget that the Yamen they work for is the Sixth Department.
This shows how much Emperor Zhengde attached great importance to disaster relief.
"The Ministry of Industry has allocated five hundred people, and they will take full orders from the Sixth Prince Xu Yi during the disaster relief period!"
"Among the five hundred people selected, there should be one doctor, five assistant doctors, and ten chief ministers."
"I accept the decree!"
The minister of the Ministry of Industry directly bent down to receive the order without saying anything.
Among the six departments, only the Ministry of Industry has the largest number of people.
Let alone 500 people, there would be no hesitation even if 1,000 Ministers of Labor were transferred.
In fact, the Ministry of Industry has too many staff. It is winter, and most of the officials in the Ministry of Industry are idle.
Rather than leaving them doing nothing in the Ministry of Works every day, it would be better to drive them all out to provide disaster relief.
If disaster relief is effective. The Ministry of Industry can still get some credit.
"Chang Shuirong, the left minister of Yushitai!"
After the three ministers returned to the team.
Emperor Zhengde once again looked at the pale-faced Chang Shuirong, the left minister of the imperial censor.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here!"
Chang Shuirong, who originally thought he had lost the bet, became active again.
The originally pale complexion also turned rosy in an instant.
"You are authorized to serve as the Ombudsman!"
"Participate in disaster relief throughout the entire process!"
Emperor Zhengde looked forward and spoke slowly.
Although the position of supervisor had no real power in the Zhou Dynasty.
It is also impossible to give any advice on Xu Yi's disaster relief work.
But he has the responsibility of supervision, and he also has the privilege of going directly to Tianting.
Emperor Zhengde appointed Chang Shuirong as the supervisory envoy, which may not have contained a warning.
"I...I accept the order!"
Compared to the six ministers, Chang Shuirong appears to be much more spineless.
After hearing this, he didn't know whether he was excited for a moment or wanted to please him, but he knelt down and worshiped Emperor Zhengde directly.
"Retreat!"
Emperor Zhengde ignored Chang Shuirong's flattery and slowly stood up and announced his withdrawal from the court.
After a tiring day of running around, Emperor Zhengde was really tired.
"Retreat!"
"Snapped!"
The great eunuch Zhan Zhu, who was on the lower right side of the dragon chair, heard the words and repeated them loudly, and then swung the whip in his hand heavily.
"I respectfully send off your majesty's chariot!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Upon hearing this, all civil and military officials in the court bowed down and saluted.
Amidst the chorus of shouts of long live the emperor, Emperor Zhengde slowly walked out of the Jinluan Hall from the front.
Behind him, Crown Prince Xu Yong followed silently.
Before leaving the Jinluan Palace, Xu Yong quietly turned back and glanced at Xu Yi below.
There was an indescribable color flashing in his eyes.
After a while.
The civil and military officials in the Jinluan Hall slowly exited the Jinluan Hall according to their official positions.
Stay away from the rear of Jinluan Palace.
The originally neat queue instantly dispersed.
Small groups formed one after another.
Only Xu Yi was still alone.
And those small groups would secretly glance at Xu Yi and Xu Yi with strange eyes from time to time.
"Yier."
Jin Wang Xu Zhen's steps were slow, but his movements were not slow at all as he walked towards Xu Yi.
"Second uncle."
Xu Yi quickly stepped forward and supported Xu Zhen.
"Disaster relief...forget it, we'll talk about it on the carriage."
Xu Zhen opened his mouth and was about to say something, but before the words came out, he realized that this was not a place for conversation.
He quickly stopped talking.
"Um."
Xu Yi nodded and helped Xu Zhen slowly walk down the steps.
For others, this court meeting may be the end of this year's disaster relief.
With Xu Yi as the scapegoat, many officials will be able to have a good year this year.
It will even be an exceptionally rich and fertile year.
But for Xu Yi, the end of this court meeting was just his first step out of Youningyuan of Zongzheng Temple.
If you want to truly get out of Zongzheng Temple Youningyuan, it depends on how well this disaster relief work is done.
As for those large and small aristocratic families, even if they do not have the power of life and death, Xu Yi will still not show any mercy.
How can you be so merciful when your own life is at stake?
Just as the two of them were walking further and further apart.
No one noticed.
Behind the two of them, there was a cold gaze, always watching the two of them slowly leaving.
And the owner of that gaze was clearly the current military general and uncle of the prince, Li Guangli.
After a while.
Outside the imperial city.
Xu Yi helped Xu Zhen slowly get into the carriage.
Just as Xu Yi was about to enter the carriage, a person suddenly ran up behind him.
"Sixth Prince, wait!"
Chang Shuirong, the minister on the left side of the censor's desk, was sweating profusely and walked toward Xu Yi with slow steps.
It seemed that with every step he took, there would be a sharp pain in the place where the stick had been extended.
"What's the matter?"
Xu Yi turned to look at Chang Shuirong, who was in pain and covered in cold sweat.
Xu Yi never had a good impression of this person.
"May I ask when the Sixth Prince will take office?"
"The people in Guanzhong are dying all the time. I ask the Sixth Prince not to delay disaster relief."
Chang Shuirong paused, gasped several times, and then slowly spoke.
Xu Yi gave Chang Shuirong a cold look.
Then he stepped into the car.
"Sixth Prince, you! Your subordinate is also the governor of this disaster relief department!"
"Please also ask the Sixth Prince to give this subordinate the dignity he deserves."
Seeing that Xu Yili ignored him and got into the car directly.
Chang Shuirong's face suddenly turned ugly. Others were afraid of offending the prince and the powerful, but he was not afraid.
After all, this is a man who is determined to be a lonely minister.
"When will you take office?"
Xu Yi lifted the curtain from the car and looked at Chang Shuirong coldly.
"I really don't know how Chang Shilang achieves the position of Shilang."
Xu Yi's cold sarcasm made Chang Shuirong's face look even more ugly.
