Empress will not return to the palace tonight

Chapter 436 Why haven't you come yet?
Time passed little by little, and the emperor was watching the time while listening to the ministers playing.

It stands to reason that Yunyi from his family should have come over, why is there still no movement at this hour?
The emperor glanced at Gu Hai lightly, and Gu Hai quickly lowered his head in fright.

He was just there to deliver the letter. As for what happened to the emperor and the second lady before, he didn't know anything. He would feel very scared when the emperor looked at him like this.

Several adults looked at each other, not knowing what happened, but they can be sure that the emperor is not in a good mood now.

Everyone can sit in the current position, and everyone is a person who can read words and deeds.

There is no way, companions are like companions to tigers, as long as they are in front of the emperor, everyone has to use up all their thoughts.

"Continue." Seeing that they stopped, the emperor felt a little dissatisfied.

"My Majesty, last year the locust plague in Hedong was severe, and I am afraid it will be unavoidable this year. If no measures are taken, it will definitely spread to other provinces." The Minister of the Household Department bowed quickly and said.

The emperor frowned after hearing this. The locust plague in Hedong was indeed serious last year, spreading almost half of the province.

He remembered that when the first emperor was in power, locust plagues spread to three provinces one year, and the crops were almost eaten up. At that time, there were countless hungry people, but his father did not handle it properly, and the officials in the court did not do enough to relieve the disaster. , Many people starved to death.

This can't be sloppy.

"Your Majesty, now we can only follow the previous method. Where the locust plague is the worst, we will burn all the crops to prevent the locust plague from spreading." The servant of the household department said respectfully.

"Your household department sent people to Hedong to check carefully, so as to minimize the loss of the people." The emperor said solemnly.

"Yes!" A group of officials from the household department quickly responded.

Locust plagues were very common in the south of the Great Yan Dynasty. Sometimes they happened every year, sometimes they flooded every few years. Most of the time, they were within the scope of one province. If they spread to two or three provinces, even The son of heaven has to offer sacrifices to the heavens, issue edicts for sins, and ask for forgiveness from the heavens, so the consequences will be a bit serious.

Even the emperor has to self-criticize, what about the officials below?
The governors of the disaster-stricken provinces were the first to bear the brunt, and then they, the household officials, were dismissed lightly.

Let's hope nothing major happens this year!
"Gu Hai, go and have a look, it's almost noon, why hasn't Yun Yi come over yet?" The emperor looked at Gu Hai and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Gu Hai hurriedly responded, and rushed towards the direction of the Internal Affairs Office.

Seeing the not-so-young Eunuch Gu running around the palace all day, many young eunuchs and maids in the palace looked dazed, and then continued to do what they were doing, pretending they hadn't seen it.

However, Gu Hai was destined to miss out, because this morning was relatively smooth and everyone was very efficient, so Bai Yunyi and the others had already returned to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The Empress Dowager is an old man, and she likes to eat differently from them, so her old man eats first, while Bai Yunyi and the third princess have lunch in the side hall.

The queen mother was very kind to them, and ordered the royal chefs to cook meals that they both loved.

Seeing the two girls eating, the queen mother was very happy, and her face was full of kindness when she looked at them.

From the Empress Dowager's point of view, although Bai Yunyi is much younger than the third princess, she seems to be more reliable than her daughter. She is very well-organized and organized in everything she does, so she is not easy to make mistakes, but she is very brilliant.
