In the end, all the ministers followed the example of the right minister and stood up and said that they would take out their own Yulu for disaster relief, but Emperor Qiyang couldn't, so he had to ask Meng Quan to count the ministers' donations and the movable silver in the treasury to prepare for disaster relief.

Emperor Qiyang was depressed in his heart, and he didn't want to show it in front of his courtiers, so he had to call for his retreat first.

When a person returned to the imperial study, he began to lose his temper and almost knocked the utensils in the imperial study clean.

The Queen Mother got the letter and came to the imperial study in person, and met Emperor Qiyang, who was kneeling inside and outside the imperial study to suppress a group of palace people.

The Empress Dowager entered the imperial study, and saw that Emperor Qiyang was still sitting on the chair, and she didn't even notice that she came in, so she walked up to Emperor Qiyang and asked in a deep voice: "Why did the emperor lose his temper so much?" ”

She didn't know much about the early dynasty, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so the queen mother never asked much about political affairs, and this time she would come because Gonggong Xu saw that things were not good, so he sent someone to Shou'an Palace and asked her to come and persuade Emperor Yang.

Otherwise, the Queen Mother didn't know that Emperor Qiyang had such a big temper!

Emperor Qiyang was secretly lucky, when he looked up and saw the Queen Mother coming, he didn't dare to show the Queen Mother's face, so he hurriedly got up and walked quickly to the Queen Mother, "Why are you here, Queen Mother," he said and glared at Xu Zhinian fiercely, "This ground is so messy, I don't know how to send someone to clean it up, if the Queen Mother is injured, how many lives can you afford!" ”

"The slave will send someone to clean up, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will move to the inner room for the time being, this side will be fine immediately, right away." Xu Zhinian nodded and replied.

Even if it was clear that Emperor Qiyang himself did not allow anyone to clean it up just now, he would not have the slightest opinion, the emperor's words are always right, they don't need to refute, they just need to obey orders.

Emperor Qiyang then helped the Queen Mother to the inner room where he rested on weekdays.

The Empress Dowager sat down on the soft collapse and asked, "Why is the emperor so angry?" Isn't it your own body? ”

Emperor Qiyang couldn't hold such a heavy shelf in front of his queen mother anymore, sighed, and said: "The queen mother doesn't know, this morning my son received an eight-hundred-mile rush from Moyao, saying that there was a sudden flood in Cangzhou, where the harvest should have been harvested, the embankment was damaged, and the grain fields were destroyed, and the situation is really not optimistic. ”

"There was a flood in Cangzhou?" The Queen Mother exclaimed, "If the mourning family remembers correctly, Cangzhou is connected to the Yongji Grand Canal, and the surrounding embankments have always been impregnable, why would the embankments suddenly burst this year!" ”

Although the Queen Mother is a woman, she is not an ordinary woman, so she naturally knows what Emperor Qiyang means.

Emperor Qiyang's face was bitter, "My son doesn't know, the queen mother, you are right, the Yongji Canal was vigorously repaired by my father at that time, and it has always been smooth and smooth, but all of a sudden, it will burst the embankment!" The most important thing is that this morning Meng Quan actually said that the treasury was empty, and I am afraid it will be difficult to come up with too much silver for disaster relief, which is really embarrassing for his son! ”

"No wonder, you are so angry," the Queen Mother nodded, "The south has always been the export land of rice and grain from all over the country, and this time there was a flood, I am afraid that this year's grain will be expensive, and the emperor must prepare first." ”

"The queen mother can rest assured, her son got the news of Mo Yao, so she hurriedly asked Meng Quan to start collecting the grain."

The Empress Dowager heard Emperor Qiyang's repeated mention of Mo Yao's message, and asked carefully, "You said that this news was transmitted by Yao'er?" The mourning family remembered that he said that he was going to the south to play, how did he encounter such a thing? Besides, what about the magistrates and other officials in Cangzhou? Didn't you hear the wind beforehand? ”

"When the queen mother said this, the son also felt a little wrong," Emperor Qiyang frowned, "There seems to be some vague places in Mo Yao's letter, when the son received the letter at first, he was patronized and angry, but he didn't have an idea about this, but now when he heard the queen mother mention it, he realized that something was wrong." ”

"The emperor is wise, I think there should be a decision in this matter, whether you want to send someone down to investigate." The Queen Mother thought about it and made a suggestion.

"Yes, my son has this intention," Emperor Qiyang nodded himself in response to the Queen Mother's words, "Earlier, my son felt that something was wrong, but he was anxious and angry at the time, and he didn't have time to think deeply, but now he calmed down, but he figured it out, and the queen mother was relieved, and his son had his own decision." ”

"Well, the mourning family knows the emperor's ability." The Empress Dowager saw that Emperor Qiyang was not as depressed as she was just now, and smiled with satisfaction.

At the same time, in Luofu, Luo Zheng returned to Jiying Hall, and he didn't even have time to change his court clothes, so he went to Zhao's Yuanxiang Hall.

Zhao heard the girls say that Luo Zheng was coming, and hurriedly called for people to come in.

As soon as Luo Zheng entered the door, he hurriedly saluted the Zhao family, and said, "There is an accident in the south, mother, my son discussed with you about hoarding grain a few days ago, how is it?" ”

Zhao Shi was stunned by his sudden words, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "What's the matter, you make it clear, what's wrong with the south?" ”

"Prince Duanjin came back from the south, there was a big flood in Cangzhou, His Majesty had a big temper this morning, mother, what my son told you is afraid to come true, Master Huijue is really wise!" Luo Zheng hurriedly finished speaking, and then picked up the tea cup held by Mama Zhao and took a sip of tea.

"Amitabha," Zhao grabbed the Buddha beads on his wrist and exhaled, "Master Huijue is a high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao and is a Buddha, naturally not comparable to mortals such as me, don't worry, I have asked Luo Zhong to stock up on food and some medicines, if there is something wrong with Huajing, the Luo family will definitely be able to stand up in time and share your Majesty's worries." ”

"That's good, that's good." When Luo Zheng heard this, he was relieved.

This morning, Emperor Qiyang was furious, but suddenly, Rao is heart was a little prepared, and he was also shocked.

It's just that he is now more worried about the disaster in the south.

Over the years, the south has always been smooth and rainy, rice and grain are abundant, this flood appeared so suddenly, the people were not prepared, but they were afraid that it would eventually lead to displacement, and now I only hope that the prince of Duanjin is in Cangzhou, and he can deter those officials well, and he will consider the people wholeheartedly...

"Zheng'er, Zheng'er!" Seeing that Luo Zheng didn't know what he was thinking, Zhao was so distracted that he hurriedly called a few times.

"The son is distracted, don't blame the mother." Luo Zheng heard Zhao's shout and hurriedly replied.

Zhao knew Luo Zheng's heart, so he persuaded: "Okay, my mother knows that you are serious, but you can't worry too much, and you must also be careful about your body, if it is really as you expected, there will be an influx of homeless people into Huajing, and there are still many things you need to do." ”

"The mother can rest assured, and the son knows it."

Zhao was satisfied with Luo Zheng's assurance, and discussed something else with him.

At this time, neither mother nor son paid attention, and there was a person standing outside the door, who heard the words of the two of them and quietly turned around and left. (To be continued.) )
