It is midsummer in August and the heat is oppressive.

There are very few people going out in the streets during the day, and people's activities have all changed to morning and evening.

At noon, it felt like the sun had just risen and the bluestone slabs on the street were already scorching hot from the sun.

Servants from various families in the capital were eagerly waiting at the palace gate. Today's morning court was exceptionally long, and it was almost time for lunch, but the court had not yet been adjourned.

For a moment, the familiar servants at the palace gate gathered together and asked each other what had happened.

Li Yushi's servant was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart. He knew it, but he didn't say it, and he wouldn't leave his carriage, because there was an ice basin on the carriage to relieve the summer heat.

The carriages of Minister Lin and Minister Meng were placed together, and the ice basins on the two carriages added together made it more refreshing.

The driver and the servant boy were sitting leisurely against the shaft of the cart.

Anyway, no matter who's family has an accident, nothing will happen to their two families. Their master is busy like a top all day and has no time for anything to happen. Everyone has lost weight, but they are in better spirits than before.

I don’t know if it’s because of the water and soil at the princess’s manor that nourishes people, but after staying at the princess’s manor for a period of time, not only the master, but also they themselves felt much better than before.

There was ice on the two carriages, and they were parked in a cool place, so they were much better off than the others.

The point is, now that the carriages of the two families have stopped inside the group of cars, who wouldn't give way? Wouldn't the shady place be right next to them?

In just a few months, the agricultural tools produced by the Ministry of Industry have been popularized throughout the country. Great efforts have been made in agricultural development, and corresponding good results have been achieved. Threshers, windmills and shellers alone have played a huge role in helping to harvest crops before the rainy season arrives in some places.

There are also curved plows, water wheels, barrel carts, sickles, etc., which also benefit millions of people.

The entire Ministry of Industry is now extremely busy. Even with wave after wave of new employees, there is still a shortage of manpower.

The situation in the Ministry of Households was similar. They traveled around the country with new grain varieties and technical issues related to planting, teaching the people step by step how to plant and maintain them. The area close to the capital started first, and many people have already started eating vegetables that take a short time to mature.

In the hot summer, there is a touch of green on the table. Everyone is grateful to Princess Fuyao, but they also remember that the officials from the Ministry of Revenue braved the high temperatures and inspected their vegetable fields every day, teaching everyone how to plant, maintain, and save seeds...

The Ministry of Revenue was short of staff. I heard that even the son of the Minister of Revenue was sent out to lead people to grow rice.

So if we talk about the least likely places in the capital right now, it would be the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue. Really, there is no time, and no people...

……

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the palace gate.

Everyone was looking forward to it. Fortunately, they came out at this time and returned home just in time for lunch.

However, it was not the officials who came out, but the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince with their men, fully armed, looking like they were going to confiscate the property...

Everyone quickly retracted their stretched necks and watched as the two teams of people left the palace and ran towards different places. But this was not the end yet.

Behind them are the teams led by Prince Rong and Lord Xie...

The team led by the general and Prince Xie...

The team led by the Minister of Personnel, Mr. Guo...

Li Yushi's servant's eyes widened and he suddenly jumped off the carriage. His master actually led a team...

Although his master's main job in the past was to confiscate properties, he usually did not go there in person. He was the one who held the pen and spoke, and the work of wielding swords and guns was left to other people.

Now, why do you have to go to the front line yourself?

The book boy was confused, and then he saw his master stride into the carriage and said to the driver in a deep voice: "Go to the residence of the Minister of Personnel!"

Bookboy: ...and it’s a big one.

Groups of people and horses rushed out of the palace and headed towards different directions of the capital.

One of the servants waiting at the door to pick someone up tried to slip away in the chaos, but he happened to meet the princess and the people from Baicaotang who came to distribute herbal tea, and he was immediately filled with tea.

The herbal tea produced by Baicaotang in summer is all prepared by the princess herself, and each has different effects. Today's is another kind of tea. Those who drink the tea must sit quietly for the time of an incense stick to allow the medicinal power to flow to the limbs and bones to prevent winter illnesses.

We have to take precautions even if we don't want to. One of the batches of the princess's tea might be sent to the soldiers at the border, and there can be no mistakes. Those who are lucky enough to have tasted the first batch of medicinal tea should tell us their feelings, so that the princess can prepare medicinal tea for different body types.

All of a sudden, the coachmen, servants, and waiters at the palace gate all sat on the carriages with their heads held high, waiting for the effect of the drug to dissipate...

On the side, hundreds of people in Baicaotang, each holding a small notebook and an unusually sharp pen, were waiting to record their feelings after drinking...

Time passed by minute by minute, the recording at the palace gate continued, and several leaders who were out on business had returned.

Even Censor Li, who was riding in a carriage, came back staggeringly and entered the palace.

Everyone was worried, and no one knew when the people from Baicaotang would leave. Perhaps the recorded data was enough...

……

Inside the palace, the Golden Throne Hall.

The sunlight shines on the golden glazed tiles, and the refracted light is dazzling, making it even more sacred and solemn.

The atmosphere inside the solemn palace was terribly depressing at the moment.

Emperor Qing had a gloomy face and looked coldly at the people kneeling in the hall.

Finally, his gaze rested on the eldest prince in the front.

After a long while, Emperor Qing spoke slowly, his voice low and cold, "You poisoned your own brother, colluded with the enemy, betrayed the country, and deceived the emperor. According to the Daqing Law, there is no other punishment except lingchi. You... commit suicide."

Qi Yunting's body, which was originally kneeling, suddenly fell to the ground, and he looked at Emperor Qing above in disbelief.

Even though he made many mistakes, he never thought that his father would kill him.

It was not until today that he realized that the people he trusted were actually pawns placed by others beside him.

And everything he had built over the years was gradually exposed to the public because of a fireworks show.

He still couldn't believe it, tears blurred his eyes, he fell to the ground and shook his head tremblingly...

Impossible, how is it possible, impossible, no...

After Emperor Qing finished speaking, he turned his head away from his eldest son, slowly stood up, looked at the rest of the people in the hall with anger, and said word by word: "You have betrayed your country and collaborated with the enemy. This is a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated by heaven! I will now deprive you of all your official positions, confiscate your property, and throw you into the prison. You will be executed in the autumn to serve as a warning to others!"

After Emperor Qing finished speaking, he turned and left. Li Jing hurriedly shouted "dismiss the court" and then hurriedly followed him.

Your Majesty must be feeling very uncomfortable at this moment.
