I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down
Chapter 208 Supervising the Country
"The clothes are weird, they don't look like Qin soldiers. That's really strange!"
"But judging by the scene today, with the entire city's citizens and officials rushing out to welcome him, the scene has completely overshadowed the prince who returned to the palace a few days ago. Could it be that our Qin State is about to have a female emperor?!"
……
Inside the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Heisha knelt on his knees before the emperor, placed his hands on the ground, and looked respectful.
"Black Rock City Lord Heisha pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!"
The emperor in front of him was extremely happy.
He came up to the latter and quickly helped him up, saying, "I've heard for a long time that Black Rock City in the northwest can be defended or attacked, and that its lord is a match for ten thousand men. His military power and strategy are unparalleled in the world!"
"Especially the Black Demon Army under my command, which is feared by other countries!"
"But I just don't know, if you join my country, who will control the Black Evil Army under your command?!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
He asked this question mainly to warn the black evil spirit.
Heisha was once a great general of the Wei State, and he understood the meaning of the words of the Qin Emperor.
"Of course it's under the control of Your Majesty!"
As Heisha spoke, he handed over the tiger talisman in his arms.
No matter who it is, as long as they have this tiger talisman, they can control the soldiers of the Black Evil Army at will.
The emperor's eyes did light up.
But he quickly took it back.
He then helped Heisha up, and then returned the tiger talisman to him and said with a smile: "It was just a joke!"
"The City Lord has just arrived at the Imperial Palace. Why don't you stay here for a while? Once you find a suitable official position, it won't be too late to accept it!"
When Heisha heard this, he looked a little surprised, but still accepted the order.
Later, the emperor came before the princess and smiled.
"Well done, much better than your big brother!"
When Su Yan heard this, she was secretly happy, but she did not show it. Instead, she asked about the promise made by the latter before departure.
"You said that, I agree!
"In three days, I will go to the Fahua Temple to recuperate for a while. You will take care of the military affairs and state affairs at court!"
The emperor issued an order directly.
The princess was overjoyed and knelt down to express her gratitude.
Later the emperor dismissed everyone.
The princess led Heisha out of the palace and returned to the villa.
……
Inside the Royal Courtyard.
Everyone was extremely surprised that Heisha was not given any official position.
Only Lin Chen saw the emperor's plan.
"Your Majesty probably hasn't fully trusted the City Lord yet!"
"It's not surprising to act this way!"
Lin Chen said it directly.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
Heisha did not show any disappointment because he was not valued by the Emperor of Qin.
After all, he had just surrendered to the Qin State, so it was natural for him to be a little wary.
At this time, Liu Qin said: "But first, congratulations to the princess. This time, you have obtained the power of regent without any effort. It is not impossible for you to ascend to the throne in the future!"
I have to say, his flattery was just right.
Several people around also echoed.
Princess Danyang also seemed to be very pleased.
Only Lin Chen did not say anything like congratulations. Instead, he lowered his head and thought about something.
This made the princess look a little confused.
"Mr. Lin, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Chen came back to his senses and said what he was thinking.
"Although it's a good thing that the princess is now acting as regent and has real power in her hands, if she doesn't handle state affairs well, it's inevitable that those with ulterior motives in the court will notice and use it to make trouble!"
A word to awaken the dreamer.
The princess finally came to her senses.
"Yes, the prince still has many followers in the court!"
"Even though I am now the regent and have real power in my hands, I still need to be careful in my future actions!"
The princess then instructed Liu Qin and the others, "When you go out during this period, be careful and don't act arrogantly!"
"If I catch you, I won't let you go!"
When everyone heard this, they quickly put away their previous smug expressions.
They still understand the principle of shooting themselves in the foot.
……
The next afternoon.
The princess returned to the villa and sat down on the chair listlessly.
He looked depressed and immediately threw the two memorials in his hands onto the table.
At this time, Lin Chen came over and asked what happened.
The princess sighed and later explained, "There's been a locust plague in the Jiangzhong area. The crops have been completely destroyed, and people are even cannibalizing each other!"
"And this locust plague has gradually spread to the imperial city!"
"I originally planned to use part of the national treasury's money for disaster relief, to alleviate the disaster in the Jiangzhong area!"
"But now the locust plague has spread to the Imperial City. If I use the money from the national treasury to rescue the people in the Jiangzhong area, the people in the Imperial City will be trapped by the locust plague, resulting in the complete destruction of their crops and the reappearance of cannibalism!"
Just as Lin Chen was about to answer, Liu Qin jumped out from the side.
"My Lord, I have a way to resolve this disaster!"
"We can first use the money in the national treasury to stabilize the locust plague in the Imperial City. Once the disaster is over, we can ask the people in the Imperial City who have received the grace of the country to donate money for disaster relief!"
"Then the disaster in the middle of the river will be alleviated!"
He originally thought that this good plan would be praised by the princess, but before the princess could speak, Lin Chen next to her spoke first.
"If we really do this, not only will the disaster in the Jiangzhong area be exacerbated, but it will also increase the dissatisfaction of the victims towards the imperial court!"
"Master Liu's good plan is actually misleading the people and the country!"
When Liu Qin heard this, he suddenly became furious.
"Boy, how dare you say that my good policy is misleading the people and the country!"
"You think you can be valued by simply offering advice to the princess? That's wishful thinking!"
"It's a national affair. How can a junior like you know the pros and cons of it?"
The princess did not believe the latter's words. She looked at Lin Chen in front of her and said, "Then I wonder if you have any good ideas to alleviate the disaster in the river and the imperial city!"
Lin Chen said, "We can first use some of the money in the national treasury to relieve the disaster in the Jiangzhong area. As for the Imperial City, I will come up with a feasible solution tonight!"
"The Imperial City is currently only showing signs of an approaching locust plague. The most pressing concern right now is the disaster in the middle of the river!"
Unexpectedly, when Liu Qin heard this, he was full of dissatisfaction and said: "The Imperial City is the foundation of our Qin State. How can a small place like the Jiangzhong be compared with the Imperial City!"
"Besides, the Imperial City is home to high-ranking officials. If they die, the court will be in chaos!"
"Save the people first and save the officials first. Don't you understand this truth?"
At this moment, the princess slammed the memorial on the table and said, "Alright, I agree with Lin Chen's opinion. First, allocate two million taels from the national treasury to help the disaster-stricken areas in the middle of the river!"
"As for the matter of the Imperial City, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer tonight!"
After saying this, she took the two memorials on the table, left the villa, and went to the palace to allocate money.
After the princess left, Liu Qin looked at Lin Chen beside him, and his eyes became more and more displeased.
"If a locust plague were to strike the Imperial City, and the treasury had no money to provide disaster relief, I wonder how you would explain this to the people of the Imperial City, and even to the officials!"
