Chapter 644: Disaster Relief

After finishing a plate of Dongpo pork elbow, there are also pepper and salt pork ribs underneath, which are both the system's favorites.

Liang Chongyue caught a glimpse of the system gnawing on the strips and making a crunching sound. He shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect Yun Ling to care about it so much.

Everything is ready, but I'm afraid the system doesn't want to eat.

"Take the puppy down to eat. I'm going to sleep."

Yun Ling also felt that the sound of the puppy gnawing on the bone was a bit loud, so she immediately responded and took the puppy, who was still eating hard, downstairs along with the dog and the bowl.

Without this little episode involving the system, the noisy atmosphere in the Yangxin Palace lasted for nearly an hour before returning to calm. When Liang Chongyue woke up and prepared to get up to attend court, the person next to him had already left.

"Change it to a cup of ginseng tea."

Last night was quite chaotic. Liang Chongyue hadn't practiced martial arts for half a year due to too many state affairs. He had been worrying about the country and the people for too long and felt a little tired. Only after drinking ginseng tea did he feel better.

"Your Majesty has been overworked recently. This servant feels so bad for you. Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, so you must take good care of your health."

Last night, Yun Ling took the puppy and waited outside the Yangxin Palace and talked for a long time. There is a difference between humans and dogs. Although the puppy cannot speak, Yun Ling always feels that the puppy is smart and understands what she said.

The puppy has been with Your Majesty for sixteen years. Puppies also have a poor appetite sometimes, not to mention that Your Majesty worries about him every day and he has suffered so much at the border and in the northern border. His health is not as good as before.

Last night, Yun Ling, who had chatted with the puppy for a long time by the candlelight in the Yangxin Palace, decided to pay good attention to the health of His Majesty and never let His Majesty hurt his body because of trivial matters.

"I know. I know what's going on."

The system will transmit her physical examination report to the panel every month. If there is anything wrong with her health, the system will immediately remind her.

She was just too tired recently. It was really not easy to be the emperor above everyone else.

Da Xia had just opened up a new territory, and she had to make decisions on all matters. Liang Chongyue pinched her brows, sat on the bed to relieve her fatigue, and then got out of bed.

Liang Chongyue had just finished washing up and changed into a dragon robe when Yun Ling came over with breakfast.

"Your Majesty, it's still not too late for you to have breakfast before going to court. Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy and can protect Daxia for a hundred years."

Liang Chongyue had no appetite when she got up early, as she had just drunk a bowl of ginseng tea. Seeing Yun Ling kneeling in front of her with hot porridge in her hands, Liang Chongyue sighed helplessly and sat down at the table.

Upon seeing this, Yun Ling immediately placed the prepared breakfast in place and began to serve the dishes to His Majesty.

After Liang Chongyue drank a bowl of porridge and ate two shrimp dumplings, he signaled the palace servant beside him to bring him tea to rinse his mouth.

"Prepare a lighter breakfast next time."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue turned and walked out of the Yangxin Palace, heading towards the Taihe Palace. Yun Ling turned her head and took a look at the breakfast that His Majesty had finished. This was the most common meal His Majesty had every time he was with the Empress Dowager.

I guess Your Majesty has no appetite after getting up early, and these things seem greasy.

Yun Ling silently took note of it and took people to clean up the things on the table.

The officials at the morning court debated only a few issues, and Liang Chongyue had already made up his mind. Soon after Liang Chongyue returned to the Yangxin Palace after the morning court session, he saw Ping An walk in from outside:

"Your Majesty, Minister of Works Hu Jing requests an audience."

"come in."

Liang Chongyue had just opened a memorial, but closed it again after taking a few glances at it. Hu Jing was still wearing his court robes, and it looked like he was ready to leave for North China.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live Your Majesty."

"Lord Hu, please get up. Why are you so anxious to see me today?"

Liang Chongyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, then listened to Hu Jing, who was kneeling below, speaking as she expected:

"Your Majesty, I have made all the necessary preparations and can depart for North China at any time. I only need your approval, and I will depart immediately."

Hu Jing was a good official who loved his people like his own children. Liang Chongyue did not answer him immediately, but calculated in his mind.

"Don't worry. I've already sent the director of the Imperial Hospital to accompany you. The accompanying troops are already assembled outside the capital. Once the Imperial Hospital has counted and loaded the medicinal materials onto the trucks, I will immediately send someone to escort you to North China to save the people there from the dire situation."

Upon hearing this, the anxiety on Hu Jing's face faded a lot. For a moment, he stood in the Yangxin Palace, meeting the emperor's gaze, not knowing what to say.

Seeing his embarrassment, Liang Chongyue reopened the memorial that he had just closed and said to Hu Jing without looking up:

"Go home and say goodbye to your wife and children. Disaster relief will take at least six months, and it's hard to say how much longer. You love the people like your own children, so you can't sacrifice your own family for the sake of the greater good."

After His Majesty's instructions, Hu Jing bowed and withdrew. Liang Chongyue saw him leave and continued to review the memorials.

Three days passed in a flash. They had originally planned to set off for North China in two days at most, but unexpectedly, it took three days just to collect and load the medicinal materials on the prescription.

Among the team going to North China for disaster relief, besides Hu Jing, the most important one was the imperial physician. Liang Chongyue had no choice but to wait until all the medicinal materials were loaded onto the truck before ordering them to set off.

Everyone knelt in the Yangxin Palace and said to His Majesty in unison:

"Your Majesty, rest assured. We will never disappoint your expectations. If we cannot resolve the drought in North China, we will never return to Beijing."

Hu Jing's voice was the loudest. Even though the imperial physician was used to being cautious, he still cursed loudly despite his loud voice.

Although the imperial physician regretted his words as soon as they were out of his mouth, the drought would end sooner or later, and it was impossible for God to not send a drop of rain to North China, but the consequences of this natural disaster would be on his shoulders. The imperial physician felt that he was impulsive just thinking about it.

"Well, you are all great. When you come back, I will go to the city wall to greet you."

Since that incident, Liang Chongyue never went up to the city wall again. Now that they were setting off, Liang Chongyue only expressed his concern for them in the Yangxin Palace for a few more words, and then ordered General Xiao Duan to lead the army to escort them to North China.

Although he did not stand on the city wall to watch them leave in person, Liang Chongyue still opened the panel and watched them leave.

Seeing the relief on their faces when they left, I just hope that after they have resolved the drought in North China, they can come back with smiles like this.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has sent a message inviting Your Majesty to have lunch."

After safely seeing off several ministers, he had just returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation from the Meridian Gate when he ran into Cheng Zhao outside who was beside Her Majesty the Queen. He received Her Majesty's decree and came before His Majesty.

"Then go ahead."

After Liang Chongyue responded indifferently, Ping An turned around and went out to reply to Cheng Zhao.

"His Majesty said that he would accompany His Majesty the Queen for dinner today. I hope Your Majesty will prepare it early."
