Glancing at Xiao Nanye, Emperor Qi Ming spoke with eyes full of anger, "This is utter nonsense!"
"Imperial Brother, the rain outside continues to fall. While the people inside the city have a place to take shelter, those outside the city have nowhere to go."
"If we don't settle the people soon, there will be casualties."
"After the previous snow disaster, many have already died. Do you wish to see a second wave of casualties?"
Though Xiao Nanye spoke softly, every word clearly reached Emperor Qi Ming's ears.
Emperor Qi Ming fell silent.
After a long while, he looked back at Xiao Nanye and said irritably, "Does the refuge have to be built right in front of The Admiral's Mansion of the Nine Gates? Can't we choose another location?"
The Admiral's Mansion of the Nine Gates was a significant place, representing the face of the court.
