Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 214 Supervision Department

As a series of rhythmic popping sounds rang out, a world was created where only Emperor Yuan was injured.

He tried his best to control himself and not make any sound, but the result was the opposite of what he wanted.

The originally solemn and dignified Hall of Supreme Harmony now had an indescribable sense of ridiculousness.

Seeing that the expressions of all the civil and military officials were very unnatural, Emperor Yuan strongly felt that he might need to die now.

Otherwise, he would not be able to face the civil and military officials normally.

Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes around and felt that she needed to break this awkward situation.

Otherwise, if we remain stuck here, when will the morning court session end?

Just as she was about to speak, Li Fuquan spoke first to rescue Emperor Yuan.

"Your Majesty, don't you want everyone to taste the sweet potatoes? How about... serving them now?"

Emperor Yuan did not respond.

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately asked happily: "Is it roasted sweet potato?"

Li Fuquan nodded slightly.

"I want to eat it, Your Majesty, can you give me one?"

Emperor Yuan looked at Jiang Yueyang and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Jiang Yueyang added another sentence that made people want to strangle her to death.

"I'm not afraid of farting."

Emperor Yuan: “…”

Li Fuquan: “…”

Minister Jiang: Don’t mention the “farting” issue anymore. Don’t you think His Majesty is embarrassed enough?

Civil and military officials: Hahahaha...

Finally, in order to allow the morning court to continue and to make the "fart" incident pass quickly, Emperor Yuan ordered people to bring up roasted sweet potatoes.

The roasted sweet potatoes had just been served when their burnt aroma filled the hall.

The civil and military officials sniffed subconsciously. It smelled so good!

After a while, they each had a roasted sweet potato.

Jiang Yueyang was also favored, holding an extra-large roasted sweet potato in her hand.

She couldn't wait to break the sweet potato into two halves, and then took a bite with a happy look on her face.

Seeing that she ate without waiting for His Majesty to let her move, and ate so sweetly, Bai Ze couldn't help licking his lips.

He secretly glanced at Emperor Yuan above, thought for a moment, and then broke the roasted sweet potato in half and started eating.

Emperor Yuan glanced at Jiang Yueyang, who had already finished half of the roasted sweet potato, and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, please try the roasted sweet potato."

Upon hearing this, all civil and military officials began to taste the roasted sweet potatoes.

With just one bite, the sweet, soft and delicate taste completely conquered their taste buds.

Especially in this autumn and winter season, eating a hot sweet potato warms your heart and stomach.

Hmm...it's also hand warming.

Seeing that all the civil and military officials were eating with such relish, Emperor Yuan couldn't help but shift his gaze to the roasted sweet potatoes on the plate.

He wants to eat another baked sweet potato...

But just as he stretched out his evil hand towards the roasted sweet potato, a "puff" sound made him lose all his appetite.

A roasted sweet potato was quickly eaten, and the civil and military officials and Jiang Yueyang were all left wanting more.

Emperor Yuan asked, "My dear ministers, how do you like the taste?"

"Your Majesty, I think it tastes delicious." The Duke of England was the first to respond.

"I also think it's delicious. Also, I find sweet potatoes very filling, but the size of a fist makes me feel a little full."

"Yes, yes, Duke Su and I feel the same way."

"If sweet potatoes are really as productive as Master Xiao Jiang says, then the people won't have to go hungry anymore."

Jiang Yueyang interrupted, "Sweet potatoes are indeed filling, but eating too much is difficult to digest and will cause frequent gas. I don't recommend eating sweet potatoes as a staple food."

Emperor Yuan: ...Can’t we just let this fart thing go?

Minister Jiang quickly said, "Sweet potatoes have many uses. Even if they're not used as a staple food, they can greatly alleviate the pressure of food shortages."

"Yes, just like the sweet potato vermicelli that Master Xiao Jiang mentioned last time."

Jiang Yueyang nodded. "Sweet potato vermicelli and noodles have similar functions. They can be used as a staple food and taste good."

"Since that's the case, I've decided to start promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes next year. Do you have any objections?"

All the civil and military officials shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes was finalized, the Minister of Personnel came out to say that all the examination papers had been reviewed. Emperor Yuan then discussed the time for the palace examination with the civil and military officials.

A quarter of an hour later, the palace examination was scheduled for three days later.

Jiang Yueyang found the right opportunity to step out and said, "Your Majesty, in view of the crimes committed by County Magistrate Zhu, I would like to make a suggestion to you."

"explain."

"I want to establish a 'Supervisory Office' so that people who have nowhere to seek justice can get justice from the 'Supervisory Office'."

On the way back, she kept thinking about how to put the idea of ​​the "reporting box" into practice.

But after much thought, she finally felt that it was unrealistic to set up a "reporting box" in every state and county.

First of all, there is the question of whether the people seeking redress can submit their petitions.

Maybe they died before they even filed the lawsuit.

Secondly, handling cases requires every second counts.

By the time the court sent people to check the reporting box, the best time for investigation had already been missed and the evidence might have been destroyed.

By then, even if we know who the murderer is, there will be no evidence.

Emperor Yuan stared at Jiang Yueyang for a moment, "Tell me how this Supervisory Office operates."

"This is what I think. The Supervisory Office in the capital is the general office, and the Supervisory Offices in each state are branch offices. The case..."

"Wait a minute," Emperor Yuan interrupted her. "You mean the court wants to establish a branch of the Supervisory Department in every state?"

"Yes."

"Do you know how much manpower, material resources and financial resources that would cost?"

After hearing what Emperor Yuan said, Jiang Yueyang did not answer but asked, "Your Majesty, are you unwilling to spend that money for the people of Daxia?

Moreover, most of the court's money comes from the people, so it should be taken from the people and used for the people."

Emperor Yuan was at a loss for words to refute. Wasn't it said that he was unlearned and unskillful since childhood? Why was he spouting so many profound truths one after another?

"Forget it, you continue."

Jiang Yueyang continued, "If the parties still have doubts after the case has been heard by the county government, they can submit their doubts and apply for a retrial by the Supervisory Department."

At this time, Lord Wei asked, "What if the parties involved are deliberately delaying time to overturn all previous evidence?"

"Therefore, the suspicions provided by the parties involved must be fully established, and the ability of the Inspectorate officials must be strong!"

Jiang Yueyang looked at His Majesty, "Therefore, I hope Your Majesty will allow me to appoint officials to the Supervisory Department."

"I have not yet agreed to establish the Supervisory Department."

"I know Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and I believe he would like to see a world free of injustice and a peaceful and prosperous sea and river."

Hearing such bold words, Emperor Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips. "You're quite arrogant! Are you so sure that the officials of the Supervisory Department will give the people fairness and justice?"

"I remember your majesty once praised me for my sharp eyes. I believe the official I choose will be a fair and honest official."

"What if you're mistaken?" Emperor Yuan smiled, deliberately trying to scare her. "Death as atonement?"

"Forget it then. I have nothing to say about the matter of the Supervisory Department."

Emperor Yuan: “…”
