what?

earthquake!

Emperor Yuanwu's eyes were shaken violently.

Officials at the border were still investigating when a natural disaster occurred.

What if a large amount of disaster relief grain from the imperial court falls into the hands of corrupt officials?

Emperor Yuanwu's brows furrowed deeply.

Now is the time to hire people, but there is no one available.

If officials are transferred from other places, firstly, they are not familiar with the border areas, and secondly, the border areas are different from the capital and have many regional customs.

It is inevitable that unnecessary trouble will be caused.

It turns out that disaster relief is a tedious job, which may bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Lu Zhaofeng and Lu Zhaolin seemed to see the difficulty in Emperor Yuanwu's eyes.

The two looked at each other and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the border."

Concubine Shu looked at the two of them, and her eyebrows trembled slightly.

As a subject, it is natural to stand up when the country is in trouble.

But as my brother.

She naturally didn't want her brother to be in danger.

There have always been riots on the border every year.

Now there is an earthquake.

Those crazies on the border might take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Lu Zhaofeng has some skills.

But Lu Zhaolin...

Concubine Shu thought about the suffering her elder brother had endured over the years.

Now, finally, the hardship has paid off and happiness has finally arrived.

She really couldn't bear to see her elder brother put himself in danger again.

After all, due to the previous disasters, many officials had frictions because of suppressing the people, and many officials died in the line of duty.

Concubine Shu's face was full of worry, fearing that Emperor Yuanwu would directly agree the next second.

But the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

She hesitated in her heart whether she should start to dissuade him.

Mu Qianqian's voice came to Concubine Shu's ears.

[Daddy, you don’t need to be so anxious. ]

[Not all officials originally stationed at the border were corrupt officials.]

【For example, the governor Zhao who came to report the news was an honest official. 】

【He is not only honest. 】

[During the years he was stationed at the border, he could not bear to see the people there living in poverty.]

[He used all the little money you gave him as a monthly allowance to help the disaster victims.]

[Her wife also often distributed porridge to the people in the border areas to help them.]

[Father, you are not that miserable. You still have a few obedient officials! ]

Emperor Yuanwu listened to Mu Qianqian's thoughts, and the expression on his face finally eased a little.

"Call Governor Zhao in." Emperor Yuanwu returned to his original seat.

"Your Highness, long live the emperor. Long live the emperor." Governor Zhao walked in with his head lowered and knelt in the middle of the hall.

Emperor Yuanwu looked him up and down.

The incident happened suddenly and he had no time to go back and change into court clothes.

He was wearing his usual clothes.

Although it was washed clean and tidy.

But if you look carefully.

You can see it.

The cuffs of the clothes worn by Governor Zhao had become worn and discolored, as if he had been wearing it for a long time.

Apart from an ordinary jade pendant around his waist, there seemed to be no other valuable decorations on his body.

That jade pendant, if I remember correctly.

It seemed like it was the first time he met the emperor since high school.

He gave it to him.

It seems that what Mu Qianqian said was indeed correct. Governor Zhao should be an honest official.

Thinking about it carefully, the clothes that Governor Liu was wearing were indeed made of rich and luxurious material, and the precious jade he was wearing was worth a fortune.

"Governor Zhao, how is the border situation now?" asked Emperor Wu of Yuan.

"Your Majesty, the entire border is feeling the tremors clearly, and a county town has already experienced a fault."
