Chapter 80: The Troublesome Flood
The weather in July was sultry and hot, and there were more victims of the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the relief grain of the imperial court was far from enough for the counties. www.biquge.info Therefore, although Tang Guifei is pregnant, Zhu Qiyu is still not happy.
Jinluan Palace, early dynasty, the sun is scorching hot, and the hall is also stuffy and abnormal, which makes people upset. "Ladies and gentlemen, the recent floods in Jiangnan have troubled me, I don't know if you Aiqing have any good opinions?" Zhu Qizhen said coldly with a cold face.
The ministers were talking a lot, and Li Xian stood up: "The emperor is graceful, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the floods in Jiangnan have always been a big problem. Although officials have carried out measures such as dredging waterways, they have had little effect. In recent years, floods have become a major concern. The food for disaster relief in various places is not enough for the livelihood of the victims, and more and more disaster victims are pouring into the capital, and what they are most afraid of at this time is the plague and the turmoil of the victims after the disaster. β
Zhu Qiyu patted the dragon chair: "Could it be that these are things I can't imagine?!" What I want is a solution! Settle! β
Yu Qian stood up at this time and said: "The emperor is gracious, and the minister has a law." We can first set up a shelter in the capital, and then send the minister of the Qin Dispatch and the Jinyi Guard to the south of the Yangtze River to strictly supervise the prefects in various places, and report to the imperial court at any time on the situation and form of disasters in various places, and discuss countermeasures. β
Before Yu Qian finished speaking, he heard Shi Heng's disdainful "snort", Yu Qian looked at Shi Heng: "It seems that General Shi has a better way than Lao Chen, it is better to say it, and all colleagues should refer to it together." β
When Shi Heng heard Yu Qian ordering him, he was not annoyed, and stood up and saluted Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Lord Yu's statement is wrong. The capital and Jiangnan are far apart, back and forth, one is to consume manpower, and the other is afraid that Qin Cha and Jinyiwei have arrived, and the flood can no longer be controlled. Before Shi Heng finished speaking, Yu Qian interjected: "Oh? It seems that General Shi has a better way? β
Shi Heng didn't look at Yu Qian, and then said: "Wei Chen thought that since the money for disaster relief had been distributed, he ordered the prefects of all regions to govern themselves, and if there was a riot of the victims, it would be suppressed, and if it was an epidemic, it would be dealt with together!" β
When Yu Qian heard this, he immediately said to Shi Heng very excitedly: "General Shi! You are really a reckless horseman who only knows how to fight on the battlefield! The court dared to destroy the principles of heaven like this and disregard human life! What kind of face do you have, facing the victims of Jiangnan! βγ
Shi Heng was reprimanded by Yu Qian, and he was a little confused, "Lord Yu, we are officials in the same dynasty, and we have different political views, why do you want to reprimand me with a gun and a stick?" β
"The old man just looks at your style of treating human life like a mustard, General Shi, this matter of the court, you martial artists should take care of it less!" Yu Qian did not save Shi Heng a trace of face.
"Lord Yu!" Shi Heng sneered: "I know that you civil officials have always looked down on our military attachΓ©s, but when the capital was defended, if it wasn't for me Shi Heng..."
"Enough! That's enough! Zhu Qiyu's most taboo thing is everything about Zhu Qizhen, but Shi Heng didn't mention it for a long time, this incident made Zhu Qiyu angry and annoyed, patted the table and said: "Shi Heng, your bad idea is really ridiculous!" Punish you for a month, go back and review it well, and submit a paperwork! β
"If no one comes up with a practical solution today, no one will want to go back alive today!" Zhu Qiyu slapped the table, left a group of ministers looking at each other, did not allow anyone to follow, and returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall alone.
Cao Jixiang looked at the group of civil and military ministers below, and didn't speak, Shi Heng coughed dryly, and asked Cao Jixiang: "Father-in-law Cao, look, the emperor is gone, we are ......" Cao Jixiang glanced at Shi Heng with his eyes, "Oh, my Lord Shi, the emperor said, if you fail to come up with a solution to the flood today, you will have to fall to the ground." Ladies and gentlemen, let's think about it quickly. β
The ministers below listened to Cao Jixiang's words, and looked at each other even more. "Little Xuanzi, take someone to serve you well, I remember what the emperor said, no one is allowed to leave if you don't come up with a way!"
"Understood, master!" After seeing Xiao Xuanzi send Cao Jixiang away, Shi Heng walked to Xu Youzhen's side, and when he saw that his friend didn't say a word, he opened his mouth and complained: "This Zhu Qiyu is too ignorant. This official is wholeheartedly for him, but he scolds me for such a villain as Yu Qian, which makes me lose face! β
Xu Youzhen opened her eyes that had been closed, looked at Shi Heng, and then closed her eyes and said, "I think you should say a few words." Behind the criticism of the emperor, it is a felony of falling on the head. β
Shi Heng muttered, "Aren't I telling you about it?" "It's not okay to tell me, you might as well think about how to solve the flood." Xu Youzhen closed her eyes and pointed at Shi Heng.
Shi Heng suddenly knew what he was going to do, and stretched out his right index finger and poked Xu Youzhen: "Hey, old horseman, what can you do?" β
Xu Youzhen chuckled: "What can I do, I'm just waiting for others." Shi Heng looked at the appearance of Xu Youzhen's old god, as if he had no idea, so he said, "I still don't know you?" You have a good idea, so the old god is here. Tell me, what's the best way to do it? β
Xu Youzhen kept silent, and only said: "I really can't help it, you have the kung fu to pester me, it's better to find someone else and discuss." Well, the man must have had a good idea. Xu Youzhen opened her eyes, looked in the direction where Li Xian was, and raised her chin. Shi Heng looked in the direction Xu Youzhen pointed to, and when he saw that it was Li Xian, he said, "Li Xian? I'm afraid that even if he had a way, he wouldn't discuss it with me. That's it, none of you want to say it, and I'm the only one who thinks about it. β
As he spoke, Shi Heng stepped aside, and Xu Youzhen looked at Shi Heng's appearance and smiled softly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like it's going to be noon, but do you want a servant to prepare lunch for you?" Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Xiao Xuanzi walked into the Jinluan Palace, looked at a group of ministers who were still deliberating, and spoke. "Then it's hard work." The ministers thought hard all morning, and they also felt a little hungry, so they followed Xiao Xuanzi to Xinuan Pavilion for lunch.
"Yo, Lord Yu, do you think your Emperor can use today's performance?" Shi Heng walked up to Yu Qian and asked as if unintentionally, he knew that Yu Qian couldn't afford to offend, and he didn't want to fight with him at this time.
"The old man's twists and turns can't always be used, even if there are still Li Xian Li, Lord Xu Pu Xu's twists and turns, it won't be your turn to General Shi's bad idea." Yu Qian replied coldly.
Shi Heng didn't think about it, but he touched his nose again, so he walked to Xu Youzhen and sat down angrily, and complained: "Yu Qian is an old horseman, and the civil officials are all a group of people with false faces. Xu Youzhen's Shi Heng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, so he said, "There is also a civil official sitting next to you." Is General Shi's words too absolute? β
Shi Heng glanced at Xu Youzhen and retorted, "You know I didn't mean what you meant. β
