After xuetianxiang and her family left, there were only three people left in the hall: Emperor Hongyuan, Chu xuanchen and Yun ruoyue.

Emperor Hongyuan looked at them and said, "ruoyue, why did you order the biography of Cheng Jun just now?"

Cloud ruoyue's heart clattered. Did emperor Hongyuan find anything?

She raised her eyes and said calmly, "because my nephew and daughter-in-law have seen other dramas, only this biography of Cheng Jun has not seen it."

Emperor Hongyuan looked at her suspiciously and said, "what do you think of the play just now?"

Cloud ruoyue thought for a moment and said, "from this story, my nephew and daughter-in-law realized that the power of the people is very strong. If the emperor of a country doesn't love the people, it will cause complaints and arouse the resistance of the people."

At this point, cloud ruoyue stopped talking.

She didn't want to be too straightforward, so as not to stimulate emperor Hongyuan.

Emperor Hongyuan looked at Chu xuanchen and said, "xuanchen, what do you think?"

Chu xuanchen didn't give face to Emperor Hongyuan. He said directly, "emperor, the story just now reminds me of the people of Chu. Our people are now suffering from disasters, but there is no relief. I'm really afraid that the people will learn from these insurgents. If the people rise up at that time, there will be chaos in the world."

Emperor Hongyuan's pupils tightened and his heart was surprised, "you continue to say."

Chu xuanchen said, "emperor, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Only when the people want can the country be stable, and only when the country is stable can the imperial power be stable. The people outside can't eat enough and have no hope. If they really take up arms and force into the palace, wouldn't all your hard work be destroyed?"

When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he was very frightened.

He doesn't want his palace to be broken down, he doesn't want to lose the noble life respected by thousands of people, and he doesn't want to be dismembered.

He pretended to be calm and said coldly, "in your opinion, what should I do to stabilize the people?"

Chu xuanchen said, "the people know that the country is poor, so they don't ask much. They just want to eat and wear warm clothes. If they want to appease the people, the emperor can only allocate funds for disaster relief so that the people don't have to be hungry, so that the people will be stable."

Chu xuanchen's words suddenly enlightened emperor Hongyuan.

If the people can't live any longer, they won't be at ease no matter how much money they have, because they will be overthrown sooner or later.

He didn't want to lose all these honors, so he decided to grant money for disaster relief to appease the people.

He stood up, nodded and said, "xuanchen, you're right. I decided to open my warehouse and release grain, and allocated 3 million liang of silver to participate in disaster relief and relieve these people. At the same time, in addition to postponing the construction of the imperial mausoleum, I will exempt corvee and taxes in the disaster area to reassure the people."

Chu xuanchen and Yun ruoyue were excited when they heard this.

Chu xuanchen immediately arched his hands and said, "I thank the emperor for the people."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan was very useful.

In fact, he doesn't love these people. He's just afraid of losing all this.

He said, "xuanchen, don't worry about your work. I'll leave it to you. You must appease the people."

Chu xuanchen said, "I'm leading the order. Please rest assured that I will live up to your expectations."

After making this decision, Emperor Hongyuan was also relieved.

He has promised to grant money for disaster relief. I believe these people will no longer think against him?

"Emperor, Grandpa Xu is back!" at this time, the voice of xuetianxiang came from outside.

Emperor Hongyuan looked up and saw Duke Xu and Amina come in quickly.

Father Xu was still holding a medicine bottle in his hand. When he came in, he quickly knelt to the ground and said in fear: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The servant is late!"

When Emperor Hongyuan saw the pill, a glimmer of desire flashed in his eyes.

But with Chu xuanchen and Yun ruoyue present, he still endured.

He said coldly, "father Xu, what's the matter? Why did you come back so late?"

Father Xu's eyes flashed a trace of guilt, and then said, "emperor, it's master Chen's pill that hasn't been refined. He asked the slave to wait there. The slave came back late!"

Yun ruoyue glanced at Chu xuanchen. Didn't Mo leave to stop Duke Xu?

How could father Xu say that?

After hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan looked depressed. "This Chen Changqing is slower and slower than before. I'm so angry! Fortunately, there is ruoyue's medicine this time, otherwise I don't know how much I will suffer!"

Xuetianxiang said, "emperor, now you have Princess Li's medicine, you don't have to rely on Chen Changqing all the time!"

Emperor Hongyuan nodded. When he saw the longevity pill, he was ready to take it.

He looked at Chu xuanchen and Yun ruoyue and said, "well, xuanchen, ruoyue, go back first! I'll tell you more about disaster relief in the morning tomorrow."

"Yes, emperor, I'm leaving." Chu xuanchen took a look at the pill and left with Yun ruoyue!

Seeing emperor Hongyuan like this, he couldn't wait to eat the pill.

It seems that he is addicted to this pill. It's no use trying to persuade others.

It's useless to say more. He didn't want to waste his lips, so he left with Yun ruoyue!

As soon as Chu xuanchen left, Emperor Hongyuan looked at the pill eagerly and said, "father Xu, give me the pill quickly."

Xue Tianxiang quickly grabbed the pill and said angrily, "emperor, didn't you say your head doesn't hurt anymore? My concubine, while your head doesn't hurt, let's save this pill for standby and take it when you have a headache next time?"

Although emperor Hongyuan wanted to take this pill, he also felt that xuetianxiang's words were reasonable.

He had to hold back his inner desire and said, "well, in that case, I'll take it next time. Father Xu, put it away for me!"

"Yes." Duke Xu is fair.

-

After Yun ruoyue and Chu xuanchen walked out of Guangming palace, they just saw Mo Li standing at the door.

Yun ruoyue hurried over and whispered, "Mo Li, didn't you stop father-in-law Xu just now? Why did father-in-law Xu say he was waiting for Chen Changqing, so he came back late?"

Mo Li said, "princess, it's father-in-law Xu. He's lying. Chen Changqing had prepared the pill long ago. Father-in-law Xu lied to the emperor for fear of being punished."

"What, why did he lie?" cloud ruoyue said strangely.

Mo Li said, "just now I found a little eunuch to call father-in-law Xu. He said that father-in-law Xu's dry son, xiaodezi, had a friction with people during gambling and was soon killed! Father-in-law Xu loved xiaodezi and hurried to save him, which delayed the time to get the elixir."

"I see." Yun ruoyue suddenly realized.

Mo Li said, "the emperor asked father-in-law Xu to get the elixir. He actually left his post without permission for his dry son. Of course he didn't dare to tell the emperor the truth, so he blamed Chen Changqing."

Cloud ruoyue wondered, "was xiaodezi really beaten?"

Mo Li said with a smile, "it's true! I'll find someone to beat him up!"
