After the New Year's break, the big and small turmoil in the previous dynasty eased a little. But maybe Liang Yinhao has not been smooth in the past two years, and before a few days of leisure, God immediately gave him a loud ear scraper.

A number of prefects in the south handed over the excerpts one after another, and the embankment built by the imperial court in order to control the waterlogging a few months ago actually collapsed a few days ago! In an instant, the surging flood instantly engulfed several prefectures and counties, thousands of acres of farmland and houses were submerged, not to mention the countless deaths and injuries of the people, and the displacement of the people, the originally beautiful and comfortable water town in the south of the Yangtze River instantly became a hell on earth.

In fact, the floods in the south have been going on for some time, and the emperor is not unaware of the severity of the disaster, so he specially issued a decree to allocate a sum of money to the Ministry of Works to build a dam. It's just that no one thought that not long after the construction was completed, the embankment could not withstand the flood and collapsed into a pile of rubble and mud in an instant. Why did a newly built levee burst in such a short period of time? The catty nature is self-evident.

After Emperor Liang Yinhao received the report, he was simply furious, and smashed everything that could be smashed in the Showa Hall in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. The officials and eunuchs of the entire hall all crawled to their knees one by one, not even daring to breathe, and watched Liang Yinhao furious.

The successive upheavals in the court and China left the young emperor physically and mentally exhausted. After the anger, Liang Yinhao sat on the dragon chair tiredly, panting expressionlessly, making it impossible to see his joy and anger.

When everyone was silent, thinking about how to protect themselves, Rui Wang Liang Yinhuan took the lead in standing up. "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and the top priority is to solve the problem of the livelihood of the victims. General Aysen's Chengde army was stationed in the south, the closest to the place where the incident occurred, and sent the Chengde army to support and set up tents and shelters for the victims to take refuge temporarily. In addition, sending soldiers to pile up piles of sand and soil was a delaying measure, but it could also temporarily curb the spread of floods. As for food and water, it should also be transported from the nearest prefecture and county. ”

Wei Ming listened to King Rui's construction, nodded frequently, and also got up and echoed: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that King Rui's construction is indeed reasonable. ”

Huo Pei'an couldn't hold back at the moment, and retorted sharply: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be!" If the Chengde army was stationed in the south, if they were hastily transferred away, wouldn't it be even worse if an enemy army sneaked up on the border? If the southern border is lost, the matter is very high, who will bear this responsibility at that time?! ”

Liang Yinhuan's face froze, and he immediately explained Huo Pei'an's concerns: "Your Majesty! Only a part of the soldiers needed to support the disaster area immediately, and the remaining soldiers of the Chengde Army could still stay in the southern border. What's more, the southern border has been very stable for decades, and the small countries around the southern border are also far from our dynasty in terms of military strength. However, the affected prefectures and counties are not far from the southern border, and the border is really threatened, and it is not too late to dispatch troops back to the southern border to support. ”

Huo Pei'an snorted coldly in disapproval, and refuted: "The soldiers not only have to rescue the victims, but also have to travel day and night, but when they rush to the southern border, they don't know who is supporting whom!" ”

Liang Yinhuan also ignored Huo Pei'an's-for-tat, knelt in front of Liang Yinhao, kowtowed suddenly, and said: "Compare the two evils, whichever is less." Millions of people in the south are in dire straits at the moment, and their lives are at stake, please think twice, Your Majesty! ”

King Rui and Huo Pei'an argued, but Liang Yinhao, who was sitting on it, didn't say a word. He silently rubbed his painful head, as if it had taken a long time to open his eyes.

Liang Yinhao summoned the secretary of the military department and asked, "Yue Xuan, is there an army that can be deployed in the military department now?" ”

Yue Xuan came out of the column and said: "Back to the emperor, there is." But to get to the disaster-stricken areas in the south, at least... Seven days. "Seven days?!" Liang Yinhao was surprised, and his face had turned from red to white. He pondered for a moment, and finally made a difficult decision.

"Spread my will, and transfer 3,000 soldiers of the German army to the disaster area in the south immediately to rescue the affected people."

After saying these words, Liang Yinhao seemed to have exhausted his strength, sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, neither angry nor retreating. The officials waiting below all looked at each other, at a loss.

Wei Ming has always been the most outspoken minister, and at this time, it was naturally difficult to hide the indignation in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty! It all started when the levee burst, so why is the embankment, which has only just been built, so fragile? Is there any hidden secret hidden in this? ”

In fact, everyone knows what Wei Ming said, but no one said it clearly, and even Liang Yinhao himself knew that this matter was no accident. The Ministry of Industry was responsible for repairing the river and building the embankment, and the Ministry of Industry is well known to be the person of Prime Minister Huo Pei'an.

However, the reason why no one mentioned it was because the people involved behind it were too wide and too big, and only this old stubborn Wei Ming dared to pierce this layer of window paper at this time.

Liang Yinhao looked at Wei Ming with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What does the Wei Qing family want to say?" ”

Wei Ming insisted: "Your Majesty, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry to build the dam, and now that something has happened, the Ministry of Industry should be responsible." Isn't there anything to say about the Ministry of Industry now? ”

When Wei Ming said this, he didn't just say it to the Ministry of Works, but also to Huo Pei'an on the side, these two people were wearing a pair of pants, and if something happened, no one could escape from it.

Lin Peng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is a middle-aged man over forty years old, his mental head looks very healthy, and his slightly fat stomach looks like he knows that he usually has no shortage of water and oil.

When the incident first happened, Lin Peng rushed to the Qinzheng Hall as soon as possible and knelt outside, pleading guilty. It's a pity that Liang Yinhao hasn't seen him for a long time, so he knelt outside for a whole day, and then hastily sent him back.

Now in the court, Wei Ming mentioned the Ministry of Works and the details of the construction of the embankment, and couldn't help but make Lin Peng's face like earth, and cold sweat slipped down his cheeks drop by drop.

Lin Peng knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, and said weakly: "There is nothing wrong with the embankment itself, but when it was built, I didn't expect the rain to be heavier and heavier this year, and Wechen failed to realize it in time, Wechen is guilty!" I hope the emperor will be merciful and spare his life! (To be continued.) )
