C100

On the morning of the next day, in the middle of the imperial court, Qiao Qiao was still smiling as he looked at the ministers of his majesty. Then, he turned his head and met Yan Mo Chen's cold eyes with his, and an indescribable tacit understanding flowed out from their eyes. When the people in the palace saw that the Regent did not have any effect due to the restriction of the Emperor, although they were puzzled, no one dared to step forward to ask.

"I have already ascertained that the extermination of the entire clan by the Grand Commandant was the doing of the Demon Palace." Qiao Qiao still looked at the crowd of court officials with puzzlement, as she slowly spoke out.

Even though the tragic case of the Grand Commandant's death had been long forgotten by the people, when the emperor brought it up again, the entire Residence of Grand Commandant was still in a state of shock and regret. Everyone clearly did not expect that the extermination of the entire family by the Grand Commandant would involve the martial arts sects, but the emperor had explained to them why the Regent King was released and why he suddenly attacked the Devil's Palace, not because he wanted to stir up the hatred between the Jiang Hu and the Imperial Court, but because he wanted to take revenge for the officials of the imperial court.

"Your majesty, after all, the Grand Commandant is loyal to a country. If the Demon Palace is not eliminated, it would be hard to dispel the grievances in the hearts of the ministers." Vice Minister Liu said with a face full of resentment.

Qiao Qiao still gave a gentle smile, as if he had long guessed that someone would say this. His thin lips then parted: "I have already handed over full responsibility for the extermination of the Demon Palace to the Regent. I hope that everyone can be at ease, as the pillar of the Qiao nation will not die without any reason."

"The Emperor is wise." With the emperor's words, the officials could no longer say anything and could only kneel down in worship.

Vice Minister Liu stood in front of the hall, obviously still wanting to say something, but he opened his mouth and stopped in the end.

"Do you have anything to do with your liaisons in the imperial court today?" Qiao Qiao lightly raised an eyebrow. Today, the death of Grand Commandant Xi was an important matter for her to announce. However, if there were not many shitty sticks who came forward to stir up trouble and things went according to her plan, then it would be boring.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has an important piece to play." Ever since the incident with Xiyue had angered Qiao, Lin Taibai had restrained himself a lot. However, he did not know why today, as he spoke, he stepped forward once again.

Qiao Qiao's cold eyes swept over them, and her thin lips slightly curled up. She coldly smiled and said: "What is it that your beloved official wishes to begin with?"

Back to the emperor, the south has been dry and rainy for several months, and now, it is autumn, the harvest is good. Because of the lack of rain, the citizens have long complained, seeing the harvested grains all wither and die, the citizens cannot eat their fill, I'm afraid that if this goes on for too long, it will cause chaos in the south. Lin Taibai looked at Qiao Qiao and cupped his hands as he spoke.

"Such a big thing has happened, why does This Emperor only know now!" Qiao Qiao's eyes, which were still as sharp as before, swept across the hundred officials in front of the hall. He then sat in the middle of the hall and shouted out.

"This subject is guilty." The group of His Highness officials all knelt down.

Qiao Qiao still turned his head to look at Yan Mo Chen, a look of understanding flashing past his eyes. It had been true that it had not rained in the south for a long time, but it was unlikely for it to be a drought, a civil riot. The reason for all of this was only because Yan Mo Chen had sent people to spread the news, and it was so Prime Minister Luo could start the news.

If a natural disaster were to occur in the south, Prime Minister Luo would think that Qiao will still assign Shen Qian Xun to be the official in charge of sending the calamity silver to the south. In his heart, Shen Qian Xun was his own man, so if he were to send him there, he would be able to earn a huge sum of money from this disaster.

Qiao Qiao gave a cold smile. It seemed that Prime Minister Luo's wishful thinking had failed.

"This humble subject deserves to die. I had thought that it would only be a few days without rain in the south. I never thought that something like this would happen." Vice Minister Liu immediately stepped forward, kneeling in front of Qiao yet again with a face full of self-blame.

Joe's lips were still raised, and even the false one was true now, with the old, stolid, neutral Vice Minister Liu as an example.

As expected, Prime Minister Luo's expression changed slightly as he looked towards Shen Qian Xun, who was seated beside him. Shen Qian Xun's expression did not change as well, as if nothing had anything to do with him, but all of this remained in Qiao Qiao's eyes.

"There is a need to pacify the people. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the citizens have not made a good harvest, so the imperial government naturally has to lend a helping hand." There is a need to pacify the people, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the citizens have made a bad harvest. Qiao Qiao still did not reprimand the ministers, but slightly raised his hand, indicating for the officials to stand up while he spoke with an indifferent tone.

"Your Majesty is right." Prime Minister Luo bowed and agreed, "Natural disasters are unavoidable, but the Emperor is wise and wise. He will not cause trouble for the people, so this old official has proposed to select an official to send aid to the disaster relief officials."

"This subject believes that the Prime Minister's words are extremely true." Lin Taibai stood behind Prime Minister Luo and agreed.

Vice Minister Liu's eyes turned slightly. He too, clearly felt that sending the relief official Yin was the key to Sky Disaster. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this old subject also thinks the same."

"Oh? "Then who should be sent?" Joe was still frowning slightly, as if deep in thought.

"This old official believes that Minister Shen has just taken up his post and should be able to gain some experience." Prime Minister Luo immediately replied.

"This subject also recommends Master Shen." Lin Taibai agreed.

Qiao Qiao's lips suddenly pursed, as expected, it was exactly the same as her thoughts. She then turned her head to look at the unique throne in the hall, and lightly smiled as she said: "I wonder what the Regent thinks?"

The light in Yan Mo Chen's eyes turned slightly. His indifferent phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness. He frowned slightly. His pretty, sword-like eyebrows bent upwards and his lips curled up into a bright smile.

"Could it be that the Prince has a different opinion?" When Qiao Qiao saw that Yan Mo Chen did not speak for a long time, he could not help but ask.

Yan Mo Chen chuckled, his thin lips curled up slightly, "This king does have something to play in Japan, but Lin Tai Bao was the one who got it first. However, after hearing what Lin Tai Bao had to say, This king thinks that this king will be of great help to the emperor."

Qiao Qiao pretended to be suspicious as he looked at Yan Mo Chen, and asked curiously: "I wonder what the Regent wants?"

"The matter that Lin Taibai played will cause your majesty to worry, but the matter that this king played will help your majesty to share his worries." Yan Mo Chen smiled mysteriously.

After the officials heard Yan Mo Chen's words, they could not help but raise their curiosity to a whole new level. They did not know what the Regent had said about helping the Emperor.

"Regent, please don't keep us in suspense." Qiao Qiao still narrowed his eyes and said gently.

"Alright, since the emperor says so, then this king will speak frankly." Yan Mo Chen looked back indifferently, his gaze drifting towards his Highness, and finally landing on Prime Minister Luo. After looking around for a moment, his eyebrows moved, and his gaze landed on Mo Yi once again, "I have to thank the maester in the Cabinet for this matter."

He did not know why the Regent would drag him into this, but since the Regent was willing to thank him, he would not allow him to do so. He slowly paced up and down, walking to the front of the hall and bowing respectfully to the Regent, "Prince is too serious. His attitude was respectful and humble, but he didn't know that a calamity was about to befall him.

Yan Mo Chen did not reply to her words. He did not even look at her for a moment. His cold eyes slowly lifted as he continued, "I found an iron ore in Python County by chance."

The expression on his face changed the most as he clenched his fists tightly. Thinking back and forth, he still couldn't understand how Yan Mo Chen could have discovered the location of the Python County's iron mine, how he had sent people to guard it, and how the Python County Magistrate had taken care of it!

"This King thinks that if this iron mine is mined, the income will not only be able to support the relief officials in the south, but it will also be able to fill the national treasury and protect the Qiao Nation from all worries in the recent years." Yan Mo Chen continued with his bland tone, he did not even glance at Prime Minister Luo, as though the fact that he was looking at him was just a coincidence.

The corners of Qiao Qiao's lips were slightly raised. Today's important event was finally about to begin. She pretended to be pleasantly surprised and spoke with an extremely cheerful tone, "If that's the case, then it will really solve my urgent problem! To think that there would be such a great item in Python County. Reward, I must give a big reward to the county magistrate and the Cabinet of Ministers! If the Regent discovers that there is merit in this act, it is the same as saying that there is merit in this act! " Joe still laughed.

"Thank you, your majesty." Mo Yi's expression turned slightly awkward. It was obvious that he did not know of this matter, but he still happily accepted the reward.

Qiao once again sneered. This Mo Yi was indeed unsuitable for an official to enter the imperial court. At this very moment, he was smiling in the face of His Highness's pride. However, he didn't notice the look in Prime Minister Luo's eyes that wished to immediately put him to death.

"Since the Regent has discovered that the iron ore has done a great job, he will now be in charge of mining the iron ore and transporting it to the south." Qiao Qiao's lips pursed into a smile. Seeing Prime Minister Luo's expression as if he had suffered a loss, she couldn't help but feel carefree. This greedy old fox's trip today truly was like a mute taking a loss. He could not speak anymore.

"The Emperor is wise." After all, it was the Regent's discovery of the Pingxian Iron Mine. Even if some people were unwilling to accept it, they could not say what had happened, and could only follow the crowd of officials and join in.

Qiao once again looked towards Eunuch Zhang and nodded. Eunuch Zhang understood tacitly and immediately went forward. He shouted: "Withdraw ~"

"Respectfully sending off your majesty. Your majesty has lived for tens of thousands of years."

"Respectfully sending off the Regent, the Prince has lived for thousands of years."

Qiao Qiao's brows were still slightly bent as he slowly walked down from the main hall …
