He added, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the earth dragon turned over. I think this year will be a bad year. I hope you all will take good care of my seventh brother, give him advice, and help him govern Northern Qi." As the Sixth Prince spoke, he bowed to the adults in front of him, causing them to return the greetings one after another, and at the same time, they also had questions in their minds: A bad year? Why a bad year? What caused this disaster? Who brought disaster to Northern Qi?
The Sixth Prince did a lot in this disaster. In addition to psychological therapy, he also made practical contributions.
Children in the inner city all focus on their studies, and almost every household, whether young masters or young ladies, hires a teacher to teach their children.
But after the earth dragon turned over, although the casualties in the inner city were not heavy, there were still not enough teachers. Each family focused their energy on rebuilding the official residence. There were too many things to do, so how could they have time to take care of their children's studies? Not only could they not take care of their studies, but they couldn't even take care of their children. All the servants who could still move were busy repairing the house. The children were young and ignorant, so they ran around the streets all day, and even thought that such a Lin'an city was very interesting.
The Sixth Prince took the initiative to assume the responsibility of teaching. He gathered the children from all households and began to teach in an open space or a large tent.
Whether it was the Sixth Prince in the past or the Sixth Prince now, there was nothing to say about his knowledge. Even the one in the past was trained according to the standards of the heir to the throne. He had a bad temper, but his knowledge was impeccable.
Now, this elegant scholar with the identity of Prince Su has a good impression on the children. Even the naughtiest children can calm down under his guidance, recite seriously and write carefully.
People all said that the Sixth Prince had really gone through a big change, and that was what the heir to the throne should be like. Compared to the Sixth Prince, the one in the palace was really too much to bear. It would be great if the throne was passed to the Sixth Prince. Northern Qi would surely become stronger under the Sixth Prince's governance, and the country would be peaceful and prosperous.
It wasn't a big deal. There was light snow a few days ago, and there was a heavy snow two days ago. But ever since the Sixth Prince started giving lectures, the sky cleared up, and the sun could actually feel warm, as if spring was about to arrive.
People were even more moved. Wasn't this a sign that the Sixth Prince was the true Dragon Emperor? What on earth was the late emperor thinking?
In the palace, Quan Qingcheng hadn't slept for three days and two nights. Wu Fei had been urging him to take a rest, but he was reluctant to sleep.
There were more and more memorials on the desk, and the imperial guards sent out would come to report the situation of the inner and outer cities every half an hour. This included how many tents had been built, how many were in the inner city and how many were in the outer city. It also included how many doctors in the inner and outer cities participated in the rescue, what was still lacking, and what support was needed from the court.
It also includes some matters related to post-disaster reconstruction, and all these matters require money from the national treasury. It is said that the regent is seriously injured, and everything can only be done by himself, which is actually his dream of ruling the country himself.
But when he really took power, he realized that the burden of the whole country was so heavy. He could no longer just sit on the dragon throne as a mascot, and could no longer just bear the title of emperor. Everything was done by the regent.
Now he could only rely on himself, review all memorials and make all decisions by himself. Quan Qingcheng suddenly found that he didn't hate the regent as much as before, and was even grateful that his uncle assisted him in governing the country when he first ascended the throne, otherwise he would not have been able to cope with the chaos at that time.
Wu Fei felt sorry for the little emperor, so he told him a lot about how the previous emperor handled state affairs and what decisions he made when he was still alive. This was used as a reference for Quan Qingcheng, and it also opened up Quan Qingcheng's thinking.
As the two were talking, they started talking about Ye Wenyan, who brought a group of people to the outer city to see patients and treat the wounded.
Wu Fei said, "Miss Ye Si seems to be doing the work of a doctor, but in fact, she is truly stabilizing the people's hearts and sharing the worries of the emperor. Lin'an is divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities. The inner city is full of official residences. Official residences are not in chaos, and it is unlikely that an uprising will occur due to a disaster, but the outer city is not necessarily the case. The outer city is inhabited by civilians, and most of the civilians' houses are not as solid as the official residences in the inner city. This earthquake almost collapsed more than 80% of the houses in the outer city and injured more than 50% of the people in the outer city. If there is no one who can suppress his status in the outer city at this time, I am afraid there will be chaos."
Quan Qingcheng's nose was sore when he heard this, "Why is Sister Wen Yan so nice? Why is she so supportive of me!"
Wu Fei said: "Miss Ye Si was assigned by Lord Emperor to treat the emperor's injuries. It was also Lord Emperor who decided that you could ascend the throne. Miss Ye Si and Lord Emperor have such a relationship, which is enough to show that Lord Emperor supports your reign. So Your Majesty, you must be a good emperor, so as not to disappoint Lord Emperor and Miss Ye Si for helping you."
Quan Qingcheng nodded vigorously, "I will definitely be a good emperor, let the world see it, and let Emperor Zun and Sister Wen Yan see it. They did not choose the wrong person, and the future of Northern Qi will definitely be better than before."
"Yes." Wu Fei nodded, "Your Majesty, don't forget the contributions of others, such as Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Chi, the prefect of Lin'an, the imperial physician who is willing to go out of the city to help the fourth young lady, and the hardest-working doctors in the inner and outer cities."
Quan Qingcheng said he understood, "I have written down the names of these people. I remember them all and will not forget any of them. When I reward them for their contributions after the disaster, no one will be left out."
"There is also the post-disaster reconstruction. The inner city and the outer city require too many craftsmen. The emperor has to consider all these." Wu Fei said while scratching his head, "I am an old servant with limited knowledge and cannot think it through. The emperor still needs a capable person to give you advice. If the emperor grows up a little, it would be better to marry a virtuous queen to share your worries."
Quan Qingcheng thought of many of his friends, such as Zhuier and Ye Chulian.
He mentioned it to Wu Fei, who shook his head and said, "They are both in the outer city right now!" Thinking about it again, he thought of another person, "Maybe I can go to the Imperial Observatory to see if Lord Yun has finished his astrology, then we can invite Lord Yun to the Palace of Immortals. Lord Yun is from the Yanhua Palace, so it would be best for him to assist in the administration temporarily, and he won't interfere in government affairs like the regent did."
Quan Qingcheng thought this made sense. Moreover, he would be happy even if Yun Chen interfered too much in government affairs, because Yun Chen represented the Emperor. No one else could interfere in his state affairs, but the Emperor had to do it.
Wu Fei went to the Imperial Observatory to invite Yun Chen, and at this time in the First-Rank General's Mansion, the Second Master Ye was holding up his immobile arm and asking Ye Feizhou to do something - "Go to Yuexiu Lane, East Street in the Outer City, the third house on the left after entering the lane. Go there and see what the situation is. If there is no damage, bring the mother and daughter living there to the General's Mansion." He said while looking at his own room, "Fortunately this house didn't collapse, otherwise they would have no place to stay even if they came. Go and come back quickly."
Ye Feizhou was puzzled, "Where is that? Who are the mother and daughter? Is father going to bring them here to live? Then where does my mother live?" He was unwilling to get up and took two steps back, "Qihua Pavilion has collapsed. This is Huayu Courtyard, where my mother lives."
"Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Ye Jingsheng never had much patience with his second son. "There are several side rooms in this courtyard. Your mother is injured. She can live anywhere. She doesn't have to live in the main house."
"Father, what do you mean?" Ye Feizhou frowned. "The mother and daughter are your concubines, right? For many years, you have been visiting them without telling your mother and family. That's fine, but are you going to bring them home now?"
"You know everything?" Ye Jingsheng was furious. "The Third Prince told you? Humph, you really forgot that you have a good backer. He knows everything and tells you everything. Why don't you just live in his house? Why do you want to come back? Since you are back, it means you still recognize this family and recognize me as your father. Then you have to go if your father asks you to do something! Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Which man doesn't have a group of children at home? But look at our house, except for Liu, who else is around me? Even that Liu, your mother didn't let me enter her room for many years. So is it wrong for me to take them back to the house? Go to the Renwang Mansion and see how many concubines the Third Prince has in his house, and ask him if this is the most normal thing!"
Ye Jingsheng's voice was getting louder, and Ye Feizhou didn't want to argue with him, so he just said, "Isn't there a new concubine?" Then he quietly left the house, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He was just wondering how many beauties there were in the backyard of Prince Ren's mansion, how those beauties would get along, and who would serve the prince every night.
Ye Jingsheng cursed in the room for a long time, and Yan Li came in and advised: "Master, don't be angry. If the second young master doesn't want to go, I will go. I will go to Yuexiu Lane to bring Madam Chang and Miss Wushuang back."
"If you were asked to go, why would I bother looking for him!" Ye Jingsheng was so angry, "The reason I asked him to go was just because I hoped he could stand on my side in this matter, so that he could speak for me when Xiao Shubai made a fuss. But look at his attitude? He actually knew about the existence of Xue Qiao and her daughter a long time ago. Isn't that scary? It's been so many years, Wushuang is almost getting married, and he knows everything, but he doesn't say anything. What's the purpose? Is he waiting for an opportunity?"
This thought frightened Ye Jingsheng into a cold sweat. What opportunity was his son, who had a feminine aura and a feminine face, waiting for? Who was he on his side?
