"Good! Hongu is waiting here today! Wait for the emperor to come back, see if you dare to stop the palace! Liu Suizhu gritted her teeth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If this was outside the palace, she would have rushed into the military tent a long time ago and asked Han Xiu to administer justice to herself.

It's a pity that since entering the palace, she feels like she has been put in a cage. The emperor went to court in the outer court, and she couldn't even get out of the door of the inner palace, let alone trespass on the court.

Liu Suizhu lowered her eyes and covered the hatred in her eyes.

She hates Shi Jiao'e, and she hates Han Xiu even more!

At this time, the emperor's heirs were still few, so she and Han Yi still had a status.

However, as the emperor continues to favor the newcomers, there will be more and more heirs. If she is favored by others, and Yi'er has a few more younger brothers, then she will be easily replaced!

Liu Suizhu clenched her fists hard, her nails digging into her palms - she wouldn't allow this to happen!

She wants to make Han Xiuli the crown prince!

You must make a prince!

Otherwise, her and Han Yi's advantages will soon be gone!

……

Liu Suizhu waited outside the Zhengyang Palace.

And above the court, everyone has been silent.

"Your Majesty, you can't drag it out any longer...... "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu lowered his head and stepped forward hard, hoping that Han Xiu would make a decision as soon as possible.

The muddy river has flooded hundreds of villages! Countless houses collapsed, fertile fields turned into water in an instant, countless people were killed and injured, and tens of thousands of people became homeless!

The victims need to be accepted by the local government, and the imperial court needs to open warehouses to release grain, otherwise, tens of thousands of disaster victims will not survive, and they will definitely become bandits, looting grain everywhere, and even simply revolting.

The hardships of life, the hardships of life, if you have not experienced it yourself, you may never feel it.

If these people are not properly resettled, they will soon be reduced to mobs under the threat of starvation and death.

If there is no food to eat, they will definitely starve to death, and if the imperial court does not give them food, how long can they last by eating grass and tree roots?!

I can't hold it anymore, what should I do?!

Then you can only grab it!

In order to survive, the victims can do anything. People are like this, once there is a dead end in front and back, and you can only wait for death if you are trapped in place, then you can only desperately drip out of a bloody road!

"Your Majesty, it has been raining heavily along the Turbid River for several days, and many places have burst their embankments. If there is no dam that bursts, I am afraid it will not last long......"

"The water level of the Wei River and the Jing River is rising, and if the heavy rain does not stop, I am afraid that even the vicinity of the capital will be affected......"

In fact, as early as early May, there was heavy rain along the Turbid River. It's just that it wasn't long and didn't have much impact.

In mid-June, it rained lightly. At that time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu mentioned that it was necessary to inspect and repair the embankment and prepare for flood control. However, no one expected that the flood would come so quickly!

In the last days of June, the downpour suddenly poured down for four or five days, and it shows no signs of stopping.

Heavy rains triggered flash floods, mudslides, and the bursting of several levees along the river.

Villages were flooded, houses collapsed, tens of thousands of people were displaced, and thousands of hectares of fertile land were wiped out.

Originally, the summer harvest would have been achieved at the end of July, but now there is less than a month left, and the rice has been knocked down by the rain and rotted directly in the fields.

"Xu Shangshu ......" Han Xiuqiang suppressed the tyranny in his heart, clenched his fists and asked coldly, "Xu Shangshu, how much surplus grain is there in the household department?" ”

"Minister...... The minister ......" Xu Shilang lowered his head, and cold sweat kept pouring out.

On the first day he took over as Shangshu, he waved his pen and allocated a large sum of money and grain to the Ministry of Industry for inspection and repair of the embankment.

Then, the king of Yue came to the door again, saying that the military department needed a large amount of grain and grass, so as to cooperate with General Zhou to concentrate his troops to attack the Northern Jin Dynasty.

In this way, the surplus grain in the granary on the outskirts of Beijing has gone to seven or eight tenths, and there is not much left.

He had thought that the tax would be levied in another month, and that it would be a good year today, and that it would be a good year, and that the treasury would be naturally full.

But who would have thought, who would have thought ......

"Xu Shangshu! I ask you, how much food is left?! The green tendons on Han Xiu's neck burst out, and he was about to be unable to suppress it.

He didn't even need to hear the answer, just looking at Xu Shangshu's reaction, he knew that there must not be much money and food left!

But to what extent?!

"Minister...... The minister ...... "Xu Shangshu didn't dare to wipe his sweat, so he let the cold sweat flow down his forehead and into his eyes, and his piercing eyes hurt.

"I don't know ......" After Xu Shangshu said this, he seemed to be deflated, and knelt on the ground with a dejected face.

He doesn't know, he doesn't know anything!

He only knew that he was in power, and that someone came to ask for food, so he let it out. He only knew that taxes would be collected soon, and the household would not be short of food.

He doesn't know anything else!

He didn't know anything.

How could he have thought that there would be a flood!

This is a natural disaster, a natural disaster!

It's not his fault!

"Xu Shangshu, this is what you call being loyal to your duties and living up to the emperor's grace?" Han Xiu's face was cold, and his face was pale, like frost.

"Chen, I didn't expect ......" Xu Shangshu was still kneeling on the ground, his head touching the ground, like a puddle of mud, and he couldn't lift it up for a while.

He also wants to be faithful, and he wants the treasury to be full. However, the national treasury was already insufficient, and now it has encountered a flood that is not seen in a century.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. Good things never come in a row, but bad things happen one after the other.

Han Xiu's face was calm, and his tone was cold, "Drag him out for me." ”

Immediately, a guard came over and dragged Xu Shangshu away with his mouth gagged. No matter what, this Xu Shangshu can't survive today.
