Because the emperor to the mudslide occurred in the section and the specific time are out, the Ministry of Industry Secretary thought things have been discovered by the emperor's spies, immediately scared two black eyes, honestly the process of the incident and concealment of the reasons, all said.
After speaking, the emperor was slow to speak.
The Minister of Public Works was so scared that he fell to his knees and did not dare to look up, but the long silence made him worse than death, so he had the courage to repeat his suffering, and took the opportunity to raise his eyes and observe the Emperor's color.
The emperor's expression is not actually gloomy anger, but surprise, surprise also through an unspeakable fear.
"Liangshan mountain south, west of the mill village, sudden mudslide, seven dead, twenty-three injured ......" The emperor murmured, shocked eyes flickered slightly, and finally said in a deep voice: "Zhongyuan Festival."
The Minister of Public Works thought that the Emperor was repeating his own account of the disaster, and was so frightened that he knelt down again and touched his head to the ground: "The guilty minister did not take enough precautions, and deserved to die! But at this time the project has just started, this matter should not be publicized, in order not to disturb the people's hearts, I hope that Your Majesty will send the guilty minister for other crimes!"
Ministry of Public Works Minister "to understand the reasoning and move with emotion", looking for excuses to impress the emperor, trying to mitigate their own crimes, but never thought that the emperor did not chastise him at all.
The emperor said that the natural disaster prevention, but should not be hidden and not reported, if you dare to do it again, decapitation.
After saying that, the emperor let him continue to prudently supervise the work, not only did not condemn him, but also in turn let him not to spread the matter out, and asked the Ministry of Works to suspend the levy of ding, re-drafting the project plan, Offer Shudao's five-year construction period, pushed to ten years.
When the Minister of Public Works exited the Yangxin Hall, his expression was wrong to the extreme.
After the personnel sent by the imperial court to survey Shu, they reported again and again that "it was too difficult to build the road and requested that the construction period be extended by five to eight years."
But no one dares to report this news directly to the emperor, folded to the cabinet, were advocating Offer Shudao Dong Zhongrui back, asking the Ministry of Works "re-calculated", they must be counted within five years of the construction period can not be.
Said "to broaden the heart of the Holy Spirit", in fact, is to take the emperor to pressure them, want them to reckless whip force service.
Now just after the start of construction, such a big thing happened, the dragon face not only did not shock anger, but also took the initiative to request an extension of the construction period.
This fact is so unbelievable that the Minister of Public Works, on his way out of the palace, suspected that he was dreaming.

Xue Yao had been brewing for a long time, but he still hadn't made up his mind to ask Princess Shi Shi to resign.
I'm afraid to say it out loud, he actually couldn't leave the little chubby cub.
The thought of parting soured Xue Yao's heart, so he fed five boxes of milk for three days.
His reluctance created a happy spring for the little fat cub!
The painful determination came on the fifth day.
Xue Yao decided to feed out the box of Mengniu, then immediately resigned and left the little fat cub, when the time came to make a decision!
However, in the midday of that day, Xue Yao, who was practicing calligraphy in the academy, suddenly heard an alarm ringing in his head!
【System tip: The host intervened in the plot line and successfully extended the Shu Road project to ten years, according to the number of people who benefited and the proportion of the host's merits, the reward for whitewashing points totaled eleven thousand three hundred and sixty-nine points, please continue to work hard.】.
Xue Yao's brain buzzed, entering a half-dream of incredible bliss!
Fake, right?
He's crazy for a whitewash, isn't he?
Saving a life is only 60 or 70 whitewash points, what's with the reward of over 10,000 whitewash points I just heard?
What about "successfully extending the Shu Road project to ten years"?
This thing has clearly failed.
Just then, class was over.
As soon as the gentleman went out, the little royals buzzed with activity like little bees.
"Does Your Highness drink milk?" The Seventh Prince, who had gotten used to being fed in recent days, expectantly reminded Silly Yao Yao of the breastfeeding.
However, today's Yao Yao was not quite right, always maintaining the posture of holding the brush, looking at the rice paper with a wooden sculpture-like expression of dullness, the ink from the tip of the brush had already haloed into a large black spot on the paper.
Seventh Prince's little bun face came close to Xue Yao, anxiously reminding, "Does Your Highness drink milk?"
Xue Yao gradually regained his senses, and the happy news of the extension of the work schedule made him suspect that he was dreaming, and he raised his hand and viciously pinched his face!
"Ah!" Xue Yao covered her face in shock.
Ouch!
Silly Yao Yao suddenly mutilated himself, frightening the little fat cub on the side in shock!
His Highness hastened to weakly dissuade him, "Forget it Master is not drinking."
"Drink drink drink!" Xue Yao turned around and picked up His Highness's little bun face, barfed hard, and declared universally, "From now on, Your Highness will drink as much as you want!"
Over 10,000 whitewash points! Get rich!
He's got money to feed the fat pups!
This day after school, Xue Yao winded his way to the Green Dome Palace, intending to celebrate his victory with Princess Shi.
However, Concubine Shio did not know about the extension of the work period, but instead, with a face full of alarm and worry, she talked about the strange things that happened in the morning of this day-
His Majesty came to the Green Vault Palace in the morning, but instead of looking for Consort Shi, he summoned Aunt Po into the inner hall alone to talk.
What was talked about, the Emperor forbade Aunt Po to reveal to the public.
After the talk, Aunt Po was taken away by the emperor, saying that she was to go elsewhere on business and serve the court.
"His Majesty promised not to pursue responsibility." Princess Shio's eyes reddened with anxiety, "Could it be that you want to privately execute my Aunt Po?"
"That won't be the case Empress." Xue Yao couldn't help but be overjoyed, "It might really be an appointment position for Aunt Po because His Majesty should already know about Aunt Po's prophecies being fulfilled, think about it, the location of the natural disaster and the number of casualties can be predicted with precision and accuracy, can His Majesty not reuse her?
Nowadays, what we have to worry about is not her safety, but let her never say any more precise predictions, as long as she pretends to be mysterious for the rest of her life, the Emperor will not make things difficult for her."
Aunt Po hadn't been executed, this Xue Yao could be sure of, because if he had interfered with the plot line and caused the deaths of innocent people, he would have definitely deducted a large number of whitewash points.
That Lord Qin of the Qin Tian Supervision was instructed by the Grand Prince to receive a plate and suffer trauma, and according to the proportion of responsibility, Xue Yao accounted for at most 30%, resulting in the deduction of more than ten whitewash points from him.
Aunt Po was his direct offering of instruction, and in the event of a death as a result, he estimated that he would have to deduct hundreds of whitewash points.
The fact that he hasn't even deducted a single whitewash point now means that Aunt Poi is very safe.
"Are you sure?" Shiofi wondered at his inexplicable confidence.
Xue Yao smiled with a springy smile, ''You put your heart at ease, Your Highness! Things are all done, the project has been delayed to ten years, which means that the Emperor must have known that the prophecy was fulfilled, he was just not in a position to announce it to the public!
It happened on the Ghost Festival, such an accurate and unerring prediction of a natural disaster and human life, coupled with the fact that the officials may have kept it secret and not reported it before, the Emperor, having been accidentally informed of the truth, must have believed that it was not rumor-mongering or man-made, and even the Son of Heaven would surely have been scornful of the fulfillment of such a natural disaster."
Xue Yao's eyes reddened with relief as he solemnly gazed at Concubine Shih, "Your Highness, we are at the end of our suffering, we must notify the Grand Prince as soon as possible, so that the prophecy of the Heavenly Stone descending on the Emperor will be fulfilled as well. If it is fulfilled again at this time, the Emperor will believe that he and Lord Qin do not have the intention to falsify and disobey, and will definitely trust them more in the future."

Offering victory in the Battle of Shu Road not only benefited a large number of commoners, it also brought Xue Yao a huge income of whitewashing points, and turned around the lives of Princess Shio's mother and son for nearly a decade afterward.
That night, Xue Yao was notified by the system--
[Side quest: Primary improvement of Lu Qian's character has been achieved, rewarding 500 whitewashing points, intermediate improvement quest has been triggered, please continue to work hard.]
This happy news made Xue Yao so excited that he couldn't sleep.
Sure enough, the reason why the future Lu Qian was cold-blooded and brutal was directly related to the robbery of Shu Road.
However, the system said that this side quest had only reached a "primary level of completion", which meant that there were still disasters in the future that would seriously affect Lu Qian's mental health.
Xue Yao didn't think too much about it for the time being, at least the little chubby cub was able to spend his childhood comfortably.
Eleven thousand or so whitewashing points, he joyfully calculated in his mind.
If he changed his food three times a day, it would add up to enough for him to lie down for ten years!
It suddenly occurred to me that there were now enough Whitewash Points to open all of the Primary Malls within the Tesseract!
Xue Yao hurriedly closed his eyes and entered the mental space.
The unified opening points for primary malls were all 130 Whitewash Points, and with a total of seven malls left to open, Xue Yao didn't hesitate to open them one by one.
Rich and capricious.
He was most curious about the [Multidimensional Record Reference Line Mall] that he hadn't had the money to open before, so he took the lead in opening this mall and tapped on the product screen-
Instead of the actual item appearing in the projection screen, a segment is being shown like a movie screen.
The image is of a middle-aged woman dressed as a peasant, at the moment weaving in a dimly lit, simple house.
Xue Yao patiently watched for a full twenty minutes, the mall interface was always playing such a boring image, and the middle-aged woman did not encounter anything special.
The lower right corner of the interface has the same refresh button as the food mall, again with three chances to refresh.
Xue Yao clicked, and the image immediately changed.
It turned out to be a team of men and horses transporting goods, and judging by the flags on the wagons and horses, it was probably some kind of dart board that was making its way through the woods.
After watching for a while, Xue Yao refreshed again.
However, after three refreshes had been used up, he still didn't understand what the function of this mall was.
Is it hard to believe that this is a movie theater mall?
The plot is too confusing, isn't it?
Multi-dimensional record reference line mall, I thought it would be a diary or something like that, but now it seems ......
Xue Yao's eyes lit up.
Could these images be what these people in the picture are experiencing, or will be experiencing in the future?
So it seems that this mall is a fixed-point accurate preview of everyone within this world!
Xue Yao's eyes widened.
Wouldn't he then be able to see the dangers he might encounter in the future and avoid them in time!
It's simply anticlimactic!
Xue Yao didn't hesitate to click on the Intermediate Mall, and the system popped up a dialog box to explain:
By opening the secondary multidimensional record reference line mall, the number of refreshes available per day will be increased to 300.
Open the first level of multi-dimensional record reference line mall, the host can independently search and locate the target person.
Secondary Mall Opening Conditions:
①Consume 350 whitewash points.
②Complete the [Reversal of Character] Sidequest Ultimate Quest.
Ultimate Mall Opening Conditions:
①Consume 3800 whitewash points
②Complete the [Cold-Blooded Tyrant's Heartwarming] Branch Ultimate Quest.
Xue Yao: "............"
The Personality Twist side quest, which should be the one he's already reached Primary Completion on, should be possible in the future to complete the Ultimate Quest as well, which is okay.
What kind of strange quest is "The Cold-Blooded Tyrant's Heartbeat"?
Is this asking him to be a bride for the Seventh Prince?
The original cold-blooded, highly intelligent Dragon Ao Tian would never fall in love with anyone!
Patients with advanced emotional receptivity disorder, trouble the system to understand that there are only physical needs and no psychological needs!
Forget it.
Xue Yao exits the interface and lies salty.
Sure enough, this kind of anticlimactic plug-in is impossible for him to get his way, so give up on the dream of the undiscovered old magician.
Better to see what other malls have to offer.
