Chapter 56 Puppet Queen
Xie Yunting was speechless. For the first time, she felt that the Ministry of Rites could actually withdraw six departments and leave the other five.

"What if I don't want to?" Feng's eyes narrowed dangerously.

It was because she was so kind that the Minister of Etiquette thought she was easy to talk to.

"This" the Minister of Rites suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"This"

The Minister of Rites did not say anything for a long time. The emperor's gaze was so oppressive that he had no doubt that if he gave a bad answer, he would lose his official title.

If he didn't say anything, Xie Yun stopped.

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, I allow you to retire and return to your hometown. You will go to hand over official duties as soon as you go to court. Dear ministers, please recommend a new Minister of Rites. If you continue to be so corrupt and threaten me with my private affairs, the Ministry of Rites will Withdraw."

Xie Yunting decided to abolish the Minister of Rites in an understatement.

All the ministers were trembling with fear. The emperor's move was not to scare the monkeys.

"I will obey your orders!"

The Minister of Rites' eyes widened. He also cared about the emperor and Guo Zuo, who was defending the country. Why was he dismissed?
"Your Majesty, I am wronged! I can still serve David for a few more years."

Soon, the Minister of Rites was pulled down. This time, no one dared to mention the matter of asking Xie Yun to open the harem and give birth to children.

After taking control of the power, Xie Yunting is now as sharp as an unsheathed sword, making people intimidated.

Xie Yunting did not plan to reveal her pregnancy to the courtiers for the time being. She did not need to get pregnant to gain their approval.

The reason why she can sit in the position of the king of Weiguo can only be because of her ability to control a country, not anything else.

Soon, new decrees were issued.

Xie Yunting implemented all the policies proposed by the right prime minister, such as repairing roads, building schools, replenishing agriculture, building dikes, and promoting trade.

Among them, what Xie Yunting admires the most is that the Right Prime Minister's philosophy on running schools coincides with hers.

There is no distinction between men, women, old or young. Anyone who is willing to learn can learn.

Xie Yunting doesn't like the idea of ​​fooling the people. In her opinion, enlightening the people's wisdom is beneficial to future generations. Only an incompetent monarch will be afraid that the people's wisdom will threaten his rule.

The money from the national treasury and Xie Yunting's private treasury flowed out like water, but Xie Yunting did not feel distressed at all.

Hiding wealth among the people is always more valuable than leaving money in the treasury to let it go moldy.

Only when the people are rich can the country be rich.

The things sent by Chu State finally arrived. Xie Yunting looked at the gift list in a funny way. Pei Zhang wished he could send her a copy of everything owned by Chu State to Wei State.

She touched her still flat belly, smiled and said to the child who was not yet fully formed in her belly: "Your dad is a very good man, and you are blessed."

"Put everything away. If I can use it, just take it from here."

You can't live up to Pei Zhang's wishes, right?
After returning to his palace, Xie Yunting slowly opened Pei Zhang's letter. Without letting the palace servants wait on him, he made a cup of tea by himself and read it leisurely.

The letter is repetitive and rambles on regardless of thickness, which is Pei Zhang's style.

With thirty years of familiarity deep in his soul, Xie Yunting always had a smile on his face.

Her lover, no matter who he is, always seems to have endless things to say about her.

After reading the letter, Xie Yunzing stood up, looked in the direction of Chu State, and smiled silently.

After the month of pregnancy, the belly became obvious, but this time, the courtiers had learned to shut up, and no one dared to ask about Xie Yunting's pregnancy.

But privately, ministers would gather together and wonder who the father of the child in Xie Yunting's belly was.

Some people speculated that it belonged to the dismissed concubine, and some speculated that it belonged to the king of Chu. Especially after Pei Zhang sent a large number of gifts with great fanfare, this guess was recognized by almost everyone.

However, these have nothing to do with Xie Yunting. All her energy was spent on the implementation of the New Deal.

For the people, nothing is more important than having them eat well, wear warm clothes, and live and work in peace and contentment.

The implementation of the New Deal did not go smoothly at first. There were always some people who looked down upon Xie Yunting's ability to serve in politics because she was a woman.

After Xie Yunting directly killed a group of moths with his iron-blooded tactics and appointed a group of young and energetic young officials, the new political plan was slowly implemented.

Xie Yunting knew very well that although the New Deal was beneficial to the country and the people, it could not be completed overnight. What she had to do now was to plant a fire and wait for it to one day become a prairie fire.

Pei Zhang originally planned to go to Weiguo to visit his pregnant lover after finishing a batch of domestic political affairs, but at this moment, something happened in Chuguo.

Memorials from various places flew to Pei Zhang's case like snowflakes.

He looked at the memorials one after another with an ugly expression on his face, and the hand he was holding the pen to annotate was almost trembling.

Why is this so! Why is this so!
Pei Zhang could only write a letter, explain the situation to Xie Yunting, and then continue to deal with the internal affairs of Chu State.

He misses his lover and looks forward to seeing his children, but he cannot leave his people behind.

At this time, Chu State cannot live without its monarch.

After receiving the urgent letter, Xie Yunting looked thoughtful. This time, Pei Zhang's letter was different from the usual chatter. It was very concise. The handwriting on the letter was slightly messy. She could even imagine Pei Zhang's mood when he wrote this letter. of shaking.

Ever since she traveled to this world, Xie Yunting has been looking for the turning point of Pei Zhang's tragic fate, but even if she personally traveled to Chu State, she didn't find any clues.

She thought that there might be a mistake in the system. After all, it was not normal for Pei Zhang to appear in this plane.

Pei Zhang in this plane is the most powerful king of Chu among the five kingdoms. Although he had some setbacks when he was young, he still became an emperor with monopoly power. Under his governance, the State of Chu can be said to be a leader in politics and people. Except that he has no heirs, he can be called a winner in life in every aspect, a proper protagonist. But she never expected that it would be a natural disaster.
Xie Yunting felt his heart trembling.

It's a natural disaster!

Not to mention the ancient world with backward productivity, even in the modern world with advanced productivity, the destructive power of natural disasters is extremely terrifying.

What’s even more frightening is that natural disasters are inevitably followed by man-made disasters.

God wants to kill you, how should you handle yourself?
Xie Yunting summoned the right prime minister into the palace.

"Right Minister, please collect detailed information for me about the current situation in Chu State. Remember, it must be detailed!"

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Xu is having the opportunity to realize his lifelong political ideal with his own hands. The right minister looks much younger and full of energy.

He had some suspicions about Xie Yunting's request, but he didn't dare to ask explicitly.

"Right Prime Minister, I won't hide it from you. The king of Chu State is my lover. Chu State is in trouble now. I can't just sit back and ignore it. Do you understand?" Xie Yunting sighed and looked at him with worried eyes. The direction of Chu State.

"I understand, I will do it now."

The right minister did not question Xie Yunting's decision.

Weiguo prospered under Xie Yunting's governance, and his political ideals were implemented. He was very grateful to Xie Yunting and admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, it is not impossible for countries to help each other.

Xie Yunting nodded and asked the right minister to go down.

The right minister was very efficient. On the second day, Xie Yunting saw the information presented by the right minister.

According to the intelligence, the situation in Chu State was far more serious than what Pei Zhang had downplayed.

It’s not just natural disasters, it’s now both natural and man-made disasters.

First, there was a sudden mountain collapse in Zhuoxian County of Chu State, followed by mudslides and heavy rains, in which countless people and livestock died.

After that, there were epidemics and riots.

The epidemic spread quickly. For the sake of the people who were not infected, Pei Zhang could only choose to close down villages and towns with great pain.

Food, medicine, and various materials were driven up by profiteers who took the opportunity to drive up prices. The people in the disaster areas lacked medical care and medicine, and struggled to survive on food and clothing, but the profiteers made a lot of money one by one.

Pei Zhang had dealt with a large number of people, but with little effect.

People are needed to deal with the disaster. If everyone is killed, who will do the work?

Corrupt officials and profiteers have grasped this point and made unscrupulous fortunes from disasters.

Not only that, they were secretly fanning the flames and promoting wave after wave of popular riots. The entire Chu country fell into chaos in a very short period of time.

People are irrational when their lives are threatened.

Rumors spread that Pei Zhang was unfit to be a king, which was why he caused successive natural and man-made disasters.

Xie Yunting looked at the information and sighed.

She wanted to help Pei Zhang, but her top priority was to solve the survival problems of the people in the disaster area.

At least, it cannot prevent them from dying or freezing to death, and it allows them to have medical treatment instead of waiting to die in despair after being blocked.

Food and herbs, Xie Yun stopped thinking about these two most important things in his heart.

When he went to court again, Xie Yun ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to dispatch a batch of grain to support the disaster areas of Chu State. He also recruited doctors from all over the country and rushed to Chu State.

With a lot of money, there must be brave men, and many doctors are willing to go.

Naturally, Xie Yunting didn't want to see them in danger. She recalled her modern experience in epidemic prevention and control, lit candles until dawn, wrote a thick manual, and gave it to the doctors who went to Chu State.

In terms of medicinal materials, Xie Yunting almost emptied his private treasury and sent them to the convoy supporting Chu State.

"system."

Xie Yun stopped calling silently in his heart.

After a while, the system responded.

"Host, what's the matter?"

"I remember, I still have 300 points unused. You said I could redeem them in the mission world. Now, I want to redeem them."

"Yes, host, what do you want to redeem?"

"I want to redeem penicillin, sterile gauze, masks, and protective clothing. You can deduct the points yourself and use them all." Xie Yunting reported everything he wanted to redeem in one breath.

From the first time he saw the items in the system store, Xie Yunting discovered that the so-called childbirth-related items require very high points. On the contrary, these can be used for daily things, and the points required are very high. But very few.

To solve Chu's current predicament, these things are the best keys to solving the problem.

 Xiaoxiao added a thousand words, but no one seemed to like the three thousand words chapter.

  Baby, continue to ask for support~ Do I love you~
