Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 513 The Way of Governing the Country
Although the Chinese Empire has just been established, the majesty of the empire cannot be violated and the internal affairs of the empire cannot be interfered with.

If anyone dares to interfere in the internal affairs of the empire, the empire will definitely send troops to attack him.

"Your Majesty, although more than a dozen ethnic minorities in the southeast have accepted weapons and food as gifts from the Sui Empire, General Xuanyuan still insists on going there. I am worried..."

The bright moon in Tantai stopped talking.

"Are you worried that they will plot against General Xuanyuan?"

Lu Hao's face darkened.

"Wei Chen is indeed a little worried, and Old General Xuanyuan doesn't want many people to follow him. If an accident occurs, we may not be able to rescue him..."

Tantai Mingyue expressed her worries.

"Let Xuanyuan Lingyu lead the first main force of the Central Army to march in and threaten and form an encirclement on the outside. In addition, ask military advisor Liu Rufeng to dispatch a dozen eighth-grade or above masters to protect him. We must ensure the safety of Old General Xuanyuan."

Lu Hao issued the decree instantly.

"Wei Chen will send experts to help immediately, and we must protect the old general."

Liu Rufeng immediately stood up and responded.

"Old General Xuanyuan fought on the battlefield throughout his life, established the southern border of the empire, and made countless contributions. I will never allow any accidents to happen to him!"

Lu Hao's words were loud and powerful.

The civil and military officials in the court heard such confident words and the emperor was so considerate of the meritorious officials. Everyone's understanding of Lu Hao improved a little bit.

"Master Zhang, how is Mr. Xu doing now? Is there still any movement?"

Lu Hao looked at Zhang Zhongwei, the Minister of Punishment.

As an old minister of the previous generation, Mr. Xu was still a meritorious minister to the empire. This was why Lu Hao did not raise the butcher's knife against him.

However, this stubborn old scholar has many disciples and has strong connections throughout the empire. If he has been unwilling to recognize the Chinese Empire and Lu Hao, it will be very troublesome.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Xu is staying at home now. Many students have come to see him. It seems that he has not made too many extreme remarks."

Zhang Zhongwei walked out slowly and reported.

"Not too much? That means you are still a little dissatisfied with me."

Lu Hao was not angry at all.

"It's just that his granddaughter Xu Zimo opened a Taoist temple in the imperial capital and invited the world's wise men to gather together to discuss how to govern the country. She also asked someone to send an invitation to the emperor."

Zhang Zhongwei grimaced and took out a red post from his arms.

"A woman discusses the ways of governing the country? Is it true or false?"

Lu Hao motioned to bring up the invitation.

Father-in-law Xiao Xizi quickly stepped forward to take the invitation and handed it to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao opened it and saw inside that he actually invited the Emperor of the Empire to the Taoist Gym to discuss the ways of governing the country with him. He spoke in a rather loud tone and seemed a bit pretentious.

"The emperor doesn't have to argue with such a little girl who doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth. I have someone seal her Taoist temple!"

Zhang Zhongwei said loudly.

"That's not necessary! Since she has some knowledge and wants to compete with me, I will accompany her to the end!"

Lu Hao was full of pride and fearless.

"Your Majesty, this Xu Zimo is twenty-four. She is a well-known talented woman in our imperial capital. She has sharp thinking and unique opinions. If you are not careful, you will be defeated by her. Even the old ministers have suffered losses. Please, please Your Majesty, think twice!"

Master Meng, the master of Wenyuan Pavilion, stood up and persuaded.

"It's just a little girl. Why should I be afraid of her? Master Zhang, tell her that I will take time to go to the Taoist Temple after dinner."

Lu Hao was too busy and decided to go over and have a look after dinner.

"Wei Chen understands!"

Zhang Zhongwei responded.

"My dear friends, is there anything else?"

Lu Hao glanced around.

"The humble minister has his own book to start the memorial, the governor of Yizhou, his son committed murder, bullied the market, and robbed the women of the people..." Tang Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, stepped forward to start the memorial.

"Such small matters should be handled directly by the Ministry of Justice. If Mr. Zhang can't handle it well, then hand it over to me."

Lu Hao interrupted him.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the governor of Yizhou has a large number of troops. If he is not careful, he will cause a mutiny. Only then did Wei Chen suppress him."

Zhang Zhongwei, the Minister of Punishment, explained loudly.

"What? Mutiny? Does he have many soldiers?"

Lu Hao's face darkened.

"I dare not deceive the emperor. The governor of Yizhou has [-] troops and is guarding the main road leading to the southwest border. The minister thought that this matter must be dealt with in time to ensure peace for both sides!"

Tang Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, said loudly.

"Master Zhang, why do we have to suppress this matter? Are the laws of the empire just for show?"

Lu Hao looked at Zhang Zhongwei coldly.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has sent people to secretly investigate. Once this matter is found to be true, Wei Chen will immediately arrest the criminal. Wei Chen just doesn't want to make the matter bigger!"

Zhang Zhongwei explained.

"No matter who he is? There is no mercy before the laws of the empire. If the governor of Yizhou shields his son, then he will be arrested and brought to justice to enforce the law!"

Lu Hao said loudly.

"Wei Chen understands!"

Zhang Zhongwei quickly bowed and saluted.

Seeing that the emperor had spoken, the Minister of Hubu said nothing more. However, he was obviously worried that Zhang Zhongwei was partial to the son of the governor of Yizhou.

This bastard actually robbed Master Tang's distant niece, and even forced her to marry him. Isn't this a robbery of a civilian girl?

This matter has been brought to the attention of the emperor. If Mr. Zhang dares to practice favoritism and malpractice, he will take part in it again when the time comes.

"Don't worry, Sir Tang. If the son of the governor of Yizhou is really guilty, our Criminal Department will definitely arrest him and bring him to justice."

Zhang Zhongwei looked at Mr. Tang and assured him.

"Then thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang."

Tang Yu quickly thanked him.

"Okay, if nothing happens, then leave the court."

Lu Hao was about to get up.

"I am reporting to your Majesty that a flood broke out in Nanzhou, the land of Jingchu, and flooded several counties. I would also like to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to open warehouses and release grain to help the victims!"

Lord Dong, the Minister of Industry, raised the memorial.

It is now June, the weather is getting hotter, and major floods are beginning to sweep across the continent.

The Chinese Empire now has three fertile great plains, but floods followed.

"When did the flood break out? What's the specific situation now?"

Lu Hao asked.

"Reporting to the Emperor, a sudden heavy rain fell in Nanzhou for three consecutive days, causing floods to break out. The flooding started yesterday and has already submerged many villages. The subjects of the empire had to leave their homes and flee everywhere..."

Master Dong said in detail.

"Master Xiao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, I have ordered you to be the imperial envoy and rush to Nanzhou immediately to provide disaster relief. You will order the surrounding counties and counties along the way to open warehouses to release grain, set up resettlement sites for victims, and allocate flood-fighting materials from surrounding areas..."

"If anyone obstructs the disaster relief or does not cooperate with the disaster relief, they will be executed on the spot! Shoot without mercy! After all the materials are used, they will be replenished by the national treasury to each local government..."

Lu Hao immediately issued a disaster relief order.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Xiao Heng, the Minister of Industry, responded loudly.
