Reborn from the Ashes: Miss Fifth Devil

"What else?" Dongfang Chen looked at the two of them and continued to ask.

The proposal just now cannot make up for any loss. Of course, the loss here refers to the loss of his image in the minds of officials and people and the loss of the hundreds of thousands of people who took refuge in Dongfang Xu.

Of course, Taifu Li understood what Dongfang Chen was thinking.

"Tomorrow, the emperor will immediately issue an edict to sin against oneself, and then he will eat fast, chant Buddha's name, and pray for the people for seven or forty-nine days. He will ask the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Works to help the people rebuild their homes. He will also issue an edict to summon those who left to return and make up for their losses.

Exempt them from taxes for ten years." Taifu Li said slowly while thinking.

For the current solution, we can only make amends after the situation has passed. There is no other better way.

"I agree with this, but the culprits should also be punished so that the common people can be angry and give an explanation to the people, including the emperor. You have to take the blame yourself." Taishi Wang bowed and said forcefully.

Taifu Li frowned, then lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Protector, I'm afraid you have to take full responsibility for this matter. As for your Majesty, all these crimes were caused by Yu Wendong. Your Majesty's fault was just a moment of inattention and being blinded."

That’s all.”

Master Wang frowned in disapproval, and then thought about it, but still did not express his disapproval in his heart. In fact, in his opinion, Dongfang Chen's fault was as big as Yuwendong's, but although he was upright, he was not

Fool, you know when you should accept it, then accept it.

"Okay, I understand. You go down and prepare. Tomorrow morning, put your suggestions into practice." Dongfang Chen waved his hand.

The hidden meaning was naturally for the two of them to take the initiative to blame Yu Wendong and exonerate him.

Taishi Wang and Taifu Li responded and cautiously withdrew.

As the night progressed, Nangong Lin, who was released, went home to take a bath, changed into court clothes, and then entered the palace to see Dongfang Chen.

"I see the emperor, long live the emperor." Nangong Lin knelt down in front of the imperial desk and saluted.

"Nangong Shangshu, please get back on your feet quickly," Dongfang Chen stood up immediately, walked around the desk, and personally helped Nangong Lin up. Looking at his haggard face, he said in a low voice, "Ai Qing has suffered a lot during this time."

"I don't dare to be a lowly minister." Nangong Lin bowed and said.

"Nangong Shangshu, there is something I want you to do immediately." Dongfang Chen sat back at his desk and stared at Nangong Lin closely.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please give me your orders." Nangong Lin bowed and said.

"You call together all the official craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and trade, as well as some craftsmen from the private sector. The more the better, and then go to Zhuozhou as soon as possible to help the people of Zhuozhou restore their homes. All expenses and personnel can be paid to Zhao Shangshu and Cui Shangshu to cooperate with you."

Dongfang Chen said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nangong Lin bowed and responded.

"Okay, you go back and rest quickly. We will start preparations tomorrow. If you have nothing to do these days, you can skip the morning meeting." Dongfang Chen waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nangong Lin knelt down and left quietly without saying a word.

Watching Nangong Lin leave, Dongfang Chen covered his eyes tiredly and leaned heavily on the back of his chair. His mind was groggy and his heart was heavy. He was as tired as if there was a stone weighing a thousand kilograms on his body, and there was no trace of sleepiness.

An Fuhai cautiously came in several times to urge him to go to bed, but he didn't say anything. Then, An Fuhai didn't dare to come in.

Dongfang Chen just sat like this until dawn the next day.
