Chapter 345: The Emperor of Stamps does not allow others to fly kites, but he himself flies
As the soldiers were escorting the kite flyers into the woods, Du Xiaoyue intervened and kicked the soldiers away. Du Xiaoyue said to Zhu Junhao, "Scholar, Chuntao asked you to come with me."
Mo Li was in the middle of the morning court session, and Emperor Gai Zhang had not arrived yet, so many ministers were whispering to each other.
He Shen choked on the smoke and said to Mo Li, "Damn it, Ji Xiaolan, Mo Li, can you guys smoke a few less puffs? We're almost like smoked ducks."
A minister echoed the same words.
Mo Li laughed heartily and said, "Master He, come here, have a taste too." He handed over the pipe.
He Shen said, "Go, go, go! The Emperor will be here soon. Are you planning to make him sick?"
Mo Li said, "The Emperor won't be coming today."
He Shen said, "You are talking nonsense. The emperor is very busy. How could he not come?"
Mo Li said, "The Emperor has made us wait here for half an hour."
He Shen said: "Maybe he has more important things to do."
Mo Li said, "The flood in Huguang has shocked the government and the country. Is there anything more important than this?"
He Shen said, "How can people like you and me guess what the emperor is thinking?"
At this time, a eunuch came over and said, "My lords, the emperor said that he is not free today, so please go back."
Amidst a flurry of discussion, the ministers left the hall.
Mo Li hadn't left yet.
He Shen saw this and said, "Didn't you hear? The Emperor is asking us to leave."
Mo Li said, "Master He, disaster relief is like putting out a fire. We two cannot leave."
He Shen said, "What tricks are you going to come up with?"
"Please come with me to see the king, sir." Mo Li said.
"No, no, no," Heshen waved his hand. "The emperor told you to leave. If you go again, you will only bring trouble upon yourself. No, I won't go."
Mo Li said, "A ruler has his own will, and a minister has his own responsibilities. I know that you, sir, are a man with the shoulders to shoulder the responsibility."
He Shen was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Mo Li said, “Of course.”
He Shen repeated, "Master Mo, do you always look at me like this?"
Mo Li said of course.
He Shen said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Mo Li said yes, walked up to the eunuch, and said, "Eunuch He, please take me and Lord He to see the emperor."
Eunuch He hesitated for a moment and said, "This... isn't appropriate."
Mo Li said, "Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, Master He and I will shoulder the responsibility together."
Heshen also came over and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. Usually we seem to have different opinions, but in fact, on many major issues, we have exactly the same ideas. That's right." Mo Li patted Heshen's shoulder.
He Shen continued, "Disaster relief is urgent. Go quickly."
Eunuch He said, "Since you two gentlemen are not afraid of death, then I will also give it my all. My two gentlemen, please come in." He made a gesture of invitation.
Mo Li also made the same gesture and said, "Master He, please."
Heshen said, "Let's go," and the two followed Eunuch He to meet Emperor Gai Zhang.
On the way, Mo Li couldn't help but ask Eunuch He what the emperor was busy with and why he didn't even come out for the morning court.
When they were almost there, Eunuch He pointed and said, "Your Majesty, you are busy with that."
I saw Emperor Gai Zhang flying a kite.
Seeing this, Mo Li said, “This…”
Eunuch He walked up to Emperor Gai Zhang and said to him, "Your Majesty, Lord Mo and Lord He are here."
