Chapter 415: Disaster Relief

Jia Ke was very puzzled by Fan Kang's attitude, just now he said that this was his biggest opportunity, why did he persuade himself not to ascend the throne now.

Fan Kang also saw it, and Jia Ke immediately explained to him in the future: "My lord, now that the world has been peaceful for a long time, there are many ministers in the world who are interested in the court. If the lord ascends the throne immediately, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos for a while. ”

"What should I do with Mr. Yifan?"

"The lord can first coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and then slowly eliminate dissidents, eliminate the influence of the dynasty, and at the same time give the subjects of the world a chance to exceed. After a while, it will naturally come to fruition, and there will be no more people in the world who oppose the lord. Fan Kang finally said the dragon slaying strategy in his heart.

After listening to Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke pondered it carefully, and felt that it was really such a truth, when he was in the Three Kingdoms of the Earth, didn't Cao Cao do this?

After Cao Cao, Sima Yi also established the Jin Dynasty with this strategy.

In Jia Ke's opinion, if Zhuge Liang is immortal, I am afraid that he will have to take the road of Cao Cao in the end. Because he had forced the then queen Liu Chan into a corner.

There's a poem that says these people are the best way to explain it:

Give the king a way to solve the doubts, no need to drill the turtle and wish the yarrow.

The test jade should be burned for three days, and the material must be aged for seven years.

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.

Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life?

In Jia Ke's opinion, Zhuge Liang just has no chance, he has done almost everything that the ministers can do, and he and Cao Cao are only one step away.

Since there are so many ancestors in front of you, can't you learn from it? So why not be able to take power and make a smooth transition?

"Sir's words really woke up the dreamer, Mr.'s words just now are better than 100,000 soldiers." Jia Ke said with a sigh to Fan Kang.

"Since the lord has adopted Fan's strategy, then please calm down, and wait until the end of the year in a few months, then the lord will have the opportunity to do it." Fan Kang saw that Jia Ke was obedient to his words, and he was also very relieved. He thought of his friend Gao Hong, a man who was ruthless in his tactics but also a well-known strategist. It's a pity that his lord doesn't listen to him.

Jia Ke was completely relaxed now, "Oh, then I should have a good rest during this time, just sit there and watch the emperor and his subordinates make a fuss." ”

After talking to Fan Kang, Jia Ke fell completely silent. For the emperor and Liu Yu, but the requirements are also responsive.

The soldiers and horses that Zuodu Yushi Tianye needed, he prepared them the next day, which made Liu Yu puzzled for a while. Jia Ke had looked at the soldiers and horses so carefully before, how could he not be a little embarrassed by Tian Ye, and prepare the soldiers and horses for him so quickly.

Some time ago, the emperor asked the Xiaoqi camp to go north, and he knew how much effort it took. Now that it was so simple, it made him even more suspicious of Zuodu Yushi Tianye in his heart.

And the emperor is now worried about the same as Liu Yu, did Zuodu Yushi Tianye really take refuge in Jia Ke and become his lackey?

What the emperor can rely on to fight against Jia Ke now is his power among the ministers. If these Wenchen all turned their backs on him one by one and threw themselves at Jia Ke, then he really had no power to fight back.

On the day that Tianye left Beijing, Jia Ke came to see off the emperor on behalf of the emperor and other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department.

I saw countless carriages and horses parked on the main road, and on both sides of the road were 8,000 elite soldiers. And beside the chariots and horses there were countless strong men, all of whom came to serve as conscripts.

On the edge of the imperial city, Jia Ke first toasted Tian Ye on behalf of the emperor, and then read the holy decree in front of everyone.

In the end, Zuodu Yushi Tianye held the holy decree in one hand and the sword of Shang Fang in the other, left the color shed, got on the eight-carried sedan chair specially prepared for him, Lord Qincha, and left the capital and went south.

And Meng Ming, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but envy the others, this old man had already experienced several such regime changes. Especially the one more than ten years ago, in fact, there were already clues, but everyone didn't find out.

And this time, Meng Ming also discovered that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the capital, but now that he was in it, he couldn't turn back.

Thinking of this, Meng Ming turned to Jia Ke and said, "Lord Jia, this time I was able to set off so smoothly, thanks to your strategizing, Lord Jia, if you change to someone else, I'm afraid the food and soldiers and horses are not ready yet." ”

Jia Ke listened to the compliments of the old Meng Ming, and knew that he intended to take refuge in himself, which had already been hinted at before, and Meng Ming did not go to the Ningshou Palace of the Emperor Taishang again during this time, but tried his best to cooperate with himself. It seems that this old man has seen his own thoughts and has begun to protect himself.

Since he stole the olive branch, then he took it himself.

"The old gentleman's praise made Jia really deserved, if it wasn't for your help, how could I have completed these deployments so quickly. I would like to thank the old man. Jia Ke also said with a smile on his face.

Lao Mengren saw that he had received Jia Ke's response, so he smiled at Jia Ke, and everything was silent.

Liu Yu saw this scene next to him, and couldn't help but hate the itch of the crown of his teeth. He never thought that Meng Ming would dare to betray the Emperor Taishang and flatter Jia Ke in public.

Liu Yu was about to go up and say a few words, adding a little unhappiness to Jia Ke. Someone next to him suddenly pulled the sleeve of his robe, and Liu Yu looked back and saw that it was Sun Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Lord Liu, please calm your anger, now is not the time to be angry, let's take no haste and patience as the top." Sun Yan said quietly with a smile on his face.

When Liu Yu said this, his heart was like pouring a basin of cold water, and his anger became bigger and bigger during this time. even often competes with Jia Ke, and if this continues, Jia Ke may be forced to the point where he has to rebel. At that time, he was a sinner of the court.

Liu Yu hurriedly bowed his hand to Sun Yan as a thank you to him.

But Liu Yu didn't notice that his temper was still changing unconsciously, becoming more and more irritable, although he was calm for a while, but he couldn't change the change in his personality. This is also God borrowing his hand to force Jia Ke to do it. Where can this be changed by man?

The next thing went much smoother, after the left capital Yushi Tianye went south to Jianghuai. With his prestige and the military horses under his command, the situation was quickly stabilized. Various localities have also begun to open warehouses to release grain, and the people are considered to have stuttered for the time being.

But such a serious disaster still can't resist the greed of corrupt officials everywhere, and they have all reached out to disaster relief food one by one.

Fortunately, there was Zuodu Yushi Tianye who personally did the town, and he killed seven or eight officials in a row with Shang Fang's sword. This is how this trend has been suppressed, but even such petty thefts have not stopped.

The grain brought by the left capital Yushi Tianye could only be divided into six or seven parts of the hands of the victims. The others have been exploited layer by layer by officials, big and small.

These officials are already familiar with this kind of thing, and they do not dare to carry the grain directly home, and they can get away with it in the form of rats moving each time they put less porridge and boil it thinner.

And the victims of the disaster are already grateful for this kind of porridge, after all, this time the porridge did not eat stones in it, and the porridge is quite sticky, although it is not to the point that the chopsticks do not fall, but it can also ensure that no one dies of hunger. What are the victims not satisfied with?

And Tian Ye, the imperial historian of the left capital, also turned a blind eye to this matter, as long as they were not too excessive, Tian Ye would no longer interfere.

Because there were so many people involved in this matter, he couldn't kill everyone. Therefore, we can only grasp the big and let go of the small, and strive to maintain the balance between all parties so that the situation will not get out of control.

Tian Ye just walked and stopped, and finally arrived on both sides of the Huai River after more than 20 days.

As soon as Tian Ye arrived in Changsha, the capital of Anhui, the governor of Anhui came to greet him with officials of all sizes.

Tian Ye didn't meet them at all, and directly entered the house prepared for him by the governor of Anhui.

After everything was arranged, Tian Ye met Wang Shun of the Anhui Governor alone, this Wang Shun is also a good official, some time ago the Huai River just broke, he took people to go up the ladder in person, only to keep the safety of the Huai River a few times, otherwise it would not be possible to wait now, the two banks of the Huai River would have become **.

Tian Ye met Wang Shun in the flower hall, and after the two sat down, Tian Ye first asked: "Lord Wang, what's going on this time?" At this time in previous years, there was also rain on both sides of the Huai River, why couldn't the embankment hold on this year? ”

"Lord Tian, I'm not afraid of your anger, this year's embankment is not being repaired at all, and the embankments that were repaired before are just a specimen, and it is a great luck to be able to hold on to it until now."

Tian Ye didn't say anything else after listening, he had already heard from Wang Shun's tone that he was dissatisfied with the Hedao Yamen.

But now is not the time to settle the general account with the river yamen, and it will be a great deal for them to wait until the disaster relief is completed this time, and no one from top to bottom can run.

"Lord Wang, you tell the truth, how many victims are there in Anhui now, and how long can the grain in Anhui Treasury last?"

"Returning to Lord Qincha, there are at least five or six million disaster victims in Anhui, and there are more than five or six hundred million quintals of grain stored in Anhui's treasury."

After listening to his reply, Tian Ye couldn't help but look at this governor with admiration. I am afraid that the grain in other places will be sold by the king of Zhongshun, and this governor was able to leave five or six hundred thousand quintals of grain in Anhui for emergency use, it seems that he has withstood the pressure of the king of Zhongshun, and he can be regarded as a good official for the people.

Tian Ye calculated the 2 million quintals of grain he brought, and kept sending them all the way from the capital, and now there are about 1.5 million quintals left, plus these five or six hundred thousand quintals, which can also support until the beginning of spring next year, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Tian Ye had another thought in his heart at this time, that is, the longer the disaster relief time this time, the better, he had already seen that the capital was now tense, and he would go back when everything was settled, no matter who won the victory, he would have no merit or fault, and he didn't have to think hard about which side to stand on.

"Lord Wang, from now on, you will be mainly responsible for the maintenance of the river embankment, you still have experience in this matter, organize those disaster victims to work for relief, you can't let these young people have idle work, otherwise, just eat and don't work, I'm afraid there will be unpredictable things."

Wang Shun is now obedient to Tian Ye's words, and immediately replied to Tian Ye: "Don't worry, Lord Qincha, I will organize people today, and let them go up the river embankment tomorrow." ”

In the next few days, things went as Wang Zhi said, the victims had porridge to eat, and Wang Shun's organization went to repair the river embankment, and there was no time to think about anything else, and the chaotic and even somewhat tense atmosphere slowly subsided.

Tian Ye saw that everything was slowly smoothing, so he wrote a few recitals to the imperial court, and asked people to send them to the military plane quickly.
