Chapter 190 Shocking the Ministers
Chapter 190 Shocking the Ministers
At this moment, the ministers felt as if all kinds of emotions had been overturned in their hearts.
They secretly regretted that if they had mustered up the courage to send their descendants to Lingcheng, wouldn't they have been able to share in the supreme glory and the huge wealth that was pouring in like a tide?
Even the usually steady and calm old man Luo Jingde couldn't help but sigh. After all, no one had expected that this group of people who went to Lingcheng would be able to return safely.
The upright and honest ministers were deeply impressed by the extraordinary courage shown by those who went to the mausoleum, and secretly sighed in their hearts: Why are such outstanding people not their descendants? It is really a pity!
At this moment, the Prime Minister's mood was even more turbulent, and his shock was beyond words. After this incident, he realized as if waking up from a dream that he had never really understood Yun Yuxi in depth.
Now that he thought about it, he was totally wrong! All along, he had mistaken that ordinary fish eye for an extremely precious pearl, but ignored the dazzling pearl next to it - Yun Yuxi.
In comparison, even though Yun Ruyan is smart and clever, she is far inferior to Yun Yuxi. The difference is huge!
"Yu'er, tomorrow is your eldest sister's wedding day, you and the prince must come back to attend. You are the pride of our Prime Minister's Mansion, and father will surely love you more in the future!" The Prime Minister said to Yun Yuxi with a smile on his face.
However, facing the Prime Minister's disgusting hypocritical face, Yun Yuxi just raised her eyebrows slightly and responded lightly:
"Of course, I will definitely go back." After all, he is still in the hall at this moment, so he still needs to save some face.
Yan Wuque stared at Yun Yuxi with burning eyes, his eyes seemed to be filled with endless smiles, and he secretly felt fortunate for the choice he had made.
At this time, Emperor Su Wen wanted to listen to Yun Yuxi's planning ideas for the southern part of the city, and he also wanted to help her remove the obstacles on her way forward.
He knew that many ministers would never agree so easily, but deep down he always believed that Yun Yuxi had such ability. So, he coughed lightly, sorted out his thoughts, and said:
"Princess Regent! I have decided to grant you the right to use the land in the south of the city, but before that, I would like to know your specific plans for this area."
Hearing this, the ministers who were still somewhat bewildered came to their senses as if awakened from a dream. They finally understood why Yun Yuxi had asked Emperor Su Wen whether the original agreement was still valid in the hall.
In an instant, the entire court was plunged into an uproar, with people whispering to each other, and the noise was one after another.
One of the respected old ministers was the first to step forward and said to Emperor Su Wen with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Majesty! I really don't understand. The land south of the city has always been a place where poor people live, like a barren land. How could it be handed over to the Regent Princess to plan it?"
Then, another minister echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty! What extraordinary ability does the Regent Princess have to bring about such a radical change in this slum? Is there really a way to reach the sky and the earth?"
"Your Majesty, I want to know what agreement your majesty made with the Regent Princess. Although the south of the city is a slum and a large area of wasteland, it is the entire south of the city after all. I think the ministers have the same idea as I do," Prime Minister Luo stood up and said in a serious tone.
"I and your Excellency second this motion." The ministers seemed to have united their front.
Yun Yuxi complained in her heart: "It seems that I have to come up with a set of rules today, otherwise it will be difficult to convince everyone."
"Are you questioning me?"
The ministers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
"I'll tell you, when the plague hit Lingcheng, I had no one to use, so you pushed the Princess Regent out. The Princess Regent signed a military order with me in private, using her own life and property to reassure me that if the plague was brought under control, the right to use the south of the city would belong to her."
At this moment, Yun Yuxi stepped forward and saluted Emperor Su Wen, then looked at the ministers and said:
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. The south of the city is a slum. A barren land? Since our dynasty established the capital, has the south of the city been improved in the past hundred years?
Although I am a woman, I have multiple identities - I am not only the daughter-in-law of the royal family, but also a person who enjoys the emperor's grace and salary. In this way, both emotionally and logically, I should do my best to contribute to our Great Yan State.
Therefore, this princess is determined to completely reverse the current situation in the southern part of the city.
We want to make sure that the heart-breaking slums will never be seen again in the capital of our Great Yan Kingdom! Here is my design drawing, please submit it to Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu.
"While speaking, Yun Yuxi carefully took out the carefully prepared blueprint from her bosom, and then respectfully handed it to the eunuch Liu with both hands.
When Emperor Su Wen stared at the densely packed markings on the blueprint, he couldn't help but look a little confused.
Yun Yuxi understood what he meant. She knew that Emperor Su Wen might not be able to understand the deep meaning at the moment. So, she said softly, "Your Majesty, let me explain it to you in detail."
Emperor Suwen was grateful and gave Yun Yuxi an admiring look, nodding slightly to indicate his agreement. Then he said, "Then I'll have to trouble the Regent Princess."
Yun Yuxi took the blueprint generously, with a confident smile on her face, and said, "I hope that the father-in-law can help me find two people to help me unfold this blueprint."
Eunuch Liu quickly agreed, with a flattering smile on his face, and did as he was told.
The ministers saw the nearly two-meter-long drawing unfolded. The buildings drawn on it with carbon pens were lifelike, and there were also many symbols that they could not understand. They all waited quietly for Yun Yuxi's explanation.
"This location is where the poor live. We will build a large shopping mall here in the future," Yun Yuxi explained one by one while pointing at the drawings.
The ministers were extremely shocked and heard many strange terms. When Yun Yuxi finished speaking, they seemed to see pictures in front of their eyes.
So someone asked in confusion, "Princess, what is a shopping mall?"
"A shopping mall is a place where many commodities are traded. For example, you can go there and buy whatever you want without running around."
"Seconds!" Emperor Su Wen exclaimed.
"Princess, how much money will that cost? The treasury is empty now, and such construction will cost a lot of money."
Emperor Su Wen also looked at Yun Yuxi with an embarrassed expression.
