Chapter 161: The Flood

The minister of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the emperor's face abruptly, and he was worried, the eight hundred miles of urgent chicken feather letter, could it be that something happened to the frontier again?

Emperor Jing Xiao didn't let everyone doubt for too long, and closed the letter, "Huainan has sent a flood, the Min River has burst its banks, and the flood has engulfed hundreds of villages......"

When the ministers heard this, they were in an uproar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that it is in the flood season, the Minhe River has burst its embankment, and the prefectures and counties around Huainan must have suffered heavy losses.

Prime Minister Zhong Cheng, as the head of the hundred officials, naturally took the lead in speaking, "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to settle the affected people!" ”

These words just said that in the heart of Emperor Jingxiao, the home can be rebuilt even if it is destroyed. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood. If there are no people, what is the use of food?

At that moment, the order was issued, "The household department will allocate 100,000 stone of grain and send it to Huainan immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Since the emperor has spoken, Hubu Shangshu naturally can't touch this mold, and he responded.

After talking about the grain, the escort of the grain has to be specially dispatched. The emperor turned his head to look at the military attache standing on the right side of the main hall, and asked, "Do you Aiqing have any of you who are willing to lead troops to Huainan to rescue?" ”

This...... All the generals lowered their heads to avoid the emperor's sight, and none of them stepped forward.

This flood is a natural disaster, but what is a natural disaster? It is a disaster that human beings cannot resist, and no matter how high the level of kung fu is, who can guarantee that they will be able to come back unscathed in the face of natural disasters?

No matter how much glory and wealth you have, you must have a life to enjoy.

Seeing that the emperor's face is getting darker and darker, no one still wants to be this bird. Song Zizhou gritted his teeth and stood up, "Father, the son is willing to lead the troops there." ”

Emperor Jingxiao was taken aback, he didn't understand the concerns of these generals, even if he was an emperor, he had to be willing to go.

His son is really competitive, and he defeated the Lu tribe at a young age, precisely because his son was too good, so he hesitated.

Water and fire are ruthless, and the flood will not bypass him just because Song Zizhou is his son.

This son really has a bit of a real temperament, it stands to reason that he has already sat in the position of the prince, and this trip to Huainan was not intended to let him go. If there is a stalemate for a while, you can point to any person casually, and no one will dare to object to them.

And in order not to embarrass his father and prevent his people from suffering, the fourth child spontaneously asked to go to Huainan for support.

If the trip to Huainan was completed, it should be successful, and the imperial court allocated 100,000 grains and grass. If it doesn't work out, it will be infamous.

The main thing is that this kind of flood is not as good as war, and it is difficult to define whether it will be successful or not, and perhaps no matter how good it is, it will not be beneficial.

It's rare that Song Ziming didn't come out to oppose it today, in his opinion, it's really not a good errand to control the water. Floating corpses are everywhere, and now it is the height of summer, and if you don't say it, it will cause a plague. The credit for water control is not small, but it is still a small life. Song Zizhou wants to go, it is better for God to accept him for himself, and it will save him from having to worry about how to deal with him.

Prime Minister Zhong Cheng saw the look given to him by the eldest nephew, nodded quietly, and then walked out of the queue and bowed down, "Prince Chu loves the people so much, it is really my luck in Daxia!" Your Majesty, you have a good godson! ”

Listened to this. All the ministers also knelt down and shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

was worshiped by everyone like this, and the emperor couldn't say anything to let Song Zizhou think about it again.

Otherwise, it will definitely arouse everyone's objections, and it will be difficult to convince the public to send anyone later, your son is a son, and someone else's son is not a son?

And Song Zizhou also has his own thoughts, he just needs to organize the people to retreat, where there is any danger, it is just a little harder.

Even if it is hard, it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with the time when they march and fight.

Moreover, even if he was unlucky and encountered a flood, he had learned to float on the water from the secret book of space, and as long as there was a floating object in the water, he would not drown.

At this time, Song Zizhou really had a feeling of "everyone is looking forward to it", he smiled lightly, and his elegance was peerless.

The emperor looked at him like a concubine and sighed, "Then Prince Chu will take five thousand soldiers to escort the grain and grass for disaster relief." ”

Song Zizhou stepped forward to receive the order.

"Choose another civil official Qincha, go to Huainan with the Prince of Chu, and assist the Prince of Chu!"

As soon as Emperor Jingxiao's voice fell, the entire hall became panicked again, and the emperor's eyes swept over whoever would be nervous and his scalp would be numb.

In the end, Zhao Yan really couldn't look at it, and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to recommend someone." ”

Recommend?!

Just when the eyes of the ministers were about to poke a hole in Zhao Yan's back, the emperor spoke, "Who does Aiqing want to recommend?" ”

Zhao Yan, as the left servant of the ministry, does have the right to recommend, and the hearts of all the ministers are about to raise their throats, lest they spit out their names from Zhao Yan's mouth.

"Wechen wants to recommend Li Dai, the new champion!" There was silence in the hall, and then there was an uproar again.

"Li Dai is just a six-rank official, can the emperor agree?"

"I don't know how the new champion feels when he learns about Lord Zhao's recommendation."

......

After listening to Zhao Yan's words, Song Zizhou also wanted to speak and stopped, listening to Zhengrong say that her little brother was a weak scholar, and she didn't know if she could stand it when she went to Huainan with him.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is not familiar with Li Dai, and he can't intercede for him.

could only shoot Zhao Yan silently with his eyes, how could he suddenly think of recommending Li Dai?!

Emperor Jing Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking of the radiant young man.

It's really very suitable, over the years, the phenomenon of embezzlement of disaster relief food has emerged in endlessly, this Li Dai is innocent, and does not belong to any faction, and just from Li Dai Li Dai and his answer that day, it can be seen that this is a good official who loves the people like a son.

The most important thing is that behind Li Dai there is the Bran Wheat Hall, the No. 1 grain merchant in Great Xia!

Emperor Jing Xiao made a decision at the moment, "Ordered Li Dai, the champion of the new department, to go to Huainan this time, except for the Prince of Chu, to see the official level!" ”

There was a sensation in the court! See the official level of the university! This is an order that has not been held in many years! Who is this Li Dai?!

Zhao Yan felt that there was a line of sight in front of him looking straight at him, and he couldn't help but raise his head and want to stare back, but he looked up and saw that it was their prince.

Why did you look at the prince who was a little unhappy with his proposal?

He was a little puzzled, didn't the prince ask him to pave the way for Li Dai? What an opportunity now! can walk with the prince, but no one is willing to go to the civil and military officials, and it will not attract resentment.

Even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out why.

All this happened without Li Dai's knowledge, and he was not qualified to go to court as a petty official from the sixth rank.

Therefore, he didn't even have a chance to defend himself, so he was inexplicably appointed as the minister.

What kind of pie did this fall on his head? Still see the first level of the official university?!

He quickly sorted out his emotions and raised his hands high above his head, "Minister's order, thank you!" (To be continued.) )
