Chapter 264: The Yellow River Floods

October is the harvest season for the people on both sides of the Yellow River.

But I don't want a heavy rain to fall for more than ten days in a row, so that the Yellow River bursts, the river floods, and washes away the villages along the river, cattle and sheep, and the people are displaced, and the people are mourned!

The wild geese are flying, wailing and screaming!

Since ancient times, the Yellow River has flowed through Qing, Sichuan, Ganhui, Ning and other places, involving part of the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Rouran, Khitan and Dangxiang.

Now the location of the embankment is the border between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran, Yuwendi discussed with the courtiers, the top priority is to first rescue the disaster and appease the people!

So he sent several groups of senior officials from the DPRK and China to the disaster area for disaster relief, bringing the grain and cloth in the treasury, and actively preventing another group of people from going to the mountains to cut down trees and prepare to rebuild the houses for the people!

Rouran also sent a lot of troops to treat the injured people at the breach of the embankment!

The place where the Yellow River bursts.

The river overflowed uncontrollably, washing away crops and houses on both sides of the river, and washing away poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.

The people fled overnight, dying, sick, and miserable!

Everywhere there were cries of old people, women, and small children.

Chen Guo.

Above the court, Chen Xianzheng was discussing with his ministers whether to send troops to help the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran.

Mrs. Lu said: "Your Majesty, now that the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran have suffered a natural disaster, even if we don't add fuel to the fire, there is no reason to spare no effort to help them, I think we can take advantage of this time to recharge and recuperate!"

Zhu Yushi said: "The minister thinks that in order to show the friendship of all countries, His Majesty should send troops to the disaster-stricken places, and make a contribution to win the hearts of the people!"

Lu Taifu said: "How could the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran be easily co-opted by us!" Although Zhu Yushi is concerned about the rivers and mountains, he also has to prioritize, and now, the people in the land of Nanzhao are also plagued by the tsunami, and the dead and injured have exceeded half a hundred!"

Zhu Yushi listened to it and retorted: "Is Mrs. Lu planning to let Chen Guo stay out of the matter and be alone?" If we can't help the world and choose to ignore it, I'm afraid that the Khitan and the party will beat us in the face at that time! At that time, it will not only be the face of you and me, not only the face of the saint, but the face of the entire Chen Kingdom, I am afraid that it will affect the friendship of the mutual market!"

"What Aiqing said is extremely true! But we don't want to be competitive! If the party, the Huns and Rouran sent troops to help, and we will also follow! If there is nothing to do today, let's retreat!" Chen Xian said.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers said in unison.

Although Zhu Yushi and Lu Taifu still had something to say, they had to give up.

Inside the Bright Moon Building.

Xiao Mingyue was carrying amber, and Qingwen was wearing fur clothes.

I heard a few little eunuchs talking about the early dynasty, so I asked the reason.

It turned out that Chen Xian and the ministers had already discussed disaster relief, and the little palace maids and eunuchs below were also secretly discussing.

Some people say that Chen Guo and the Northern Wei Dynasty were originally old enemies, and if they helped them now, it would be tantamount to raising tigers.

Some people also say that those people along the Yellow River are too pitiful, and if they stand by and watch, they really can't say anything!

"Little Dezi, little Zhuozi, come to the county lord and talk back!" Qing Wen shouted to the little eunuch.

"Yes!" The two agreed in unison.

"Meet the county lord!" The two knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"Get up! I told you to come forward, not to bow down to me, but to tell me what you know from beginning to end." Xiao Mingyue said to the two.

The two looked at each other.

Xiao Dezi said: "We went to the Qinzheng Palace to help put things together, and I heard the father-in-law of Chun'an say that the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran suffered countless deaths and injuries, but it was miserable!"

Little Takuko added: "Yes! Your Majesty and the ministers are discussing this matter! Thinking about helping them or not helping them?

Xiao Mingyue listened to this and hurriedly asked, "Then what is Your Majesty's attitude, and does you decide to help or not?"

Xiao Dezi said: "I heard Chun'an's father-in-law say, 'Your Majesty didn't say that he would not send troops, nor did he say that he would send troops, but he just watched the movements of several other countries before acting!'"

"Got it, go get busy!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Cai Wei, go prepare flour and osmanthus, I want to make osmanthus cake!" Xiao Mingyue instructed Cai Wei.

"Yes!" Cai Wei replied.

"That slave is going to help Caiwei too!" Qingwen said.

"Miss, do you have an idea?" Amber asked.

Xiao Mingyue smiled and said to Amber: "What idea can I have, it's just to make some snacks for Your Majesty!"

"Miss, by doing this, you have an idea!" Amber swore by it.

"Alright, you can also go to the kitchenette to help!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Hmm!" Amber agreed, and then went to the kitchenette as well.

The attitude of all countries is also that of watching from the sidelines and following the trend.

No one made the first move, helping the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran to save people and provide disaster relief, and they were all waiting for other countries to take the lead first!

Especially the Xiongnu King and the Khitan King, thinking that Chen and Wei were dominant, now is a good opportunity, the Northern Wei Dynasty is suffering from this difficulty, it is bound to take a breather for a while, but they can take advantage of the opportunity.

If you help the Northern Wei Rouran survive this catastrophe, I am afraid that you are helping others to be majestic!

Li Yuanxu had the intention of saving the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran, thinking about the previous black witchcraft, he should also send troops to help the Northern Wei Dynasty.

However, most of the princes and nobles objected, saying that Chen Guo still had not moved a single soldier, so how could the party come out first.

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, the Northern Wei Dynasty will not appreciate it and offend Chen Guo, so it will be a big loss because of a small loss!" The minister said.

"Chen thinks that he should help, but he has to wait a little longer, Chen Guo will definitely take action!" Chu Ying said.

"It's good! Then wait a little longer! This king believes that Chen Xian is not an indifferent and ruthless person!" Li Yuanxu said.

"The king is wise!"

Inside the Hall of Diligence.

Chen Xian was distraught to review the recital, he knew in his heart that the Yellow River burst its banks, and it was the Northern Wei Dynasty that suffered, followed by Rouran, and his Chen State was far away from the Yellow River, no matter what, it would definitely not hurt his country.

But if you behave indifferently and ruthlessly, you will also be criticized by the world.

Thinking about it, the relationship between Yu Wendi and his rival is even more contradictory.

Not only did he want to send troops to help the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he also wanted to play prestige in front of Yu Wendi, so that he knew how powerful he was! makes Xiao Mingyue feel that she is not a person with a small belly!

On the other hand, he wanted to ignore Yu Wendi and ignore the Northern Wei Dynasty!

After all, when the Northern Wei Dynasty regained its vitality, it was tantamount to fueling the arrogance of the enemy!

False benevolence and false righteousness abound in history!

Xiao Mingyue also understood Chen Xian's heart, knowing that he wanted to save those innocent people, and he didn't want to help Yu Wendi!

However, she was not interested in the intrigues of the men, whether they were eloquent or strategic.

What she wants to do most is to do everything she can to help the homeless and disaster-stricken people!

So, I made white fungus bird's nest porridge and osmanthus cake and went to the Qinzheng Palace.

"County Lord, you are here, Your Majesty is upset!" Chun'an hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Let me in!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Good! You go and talk to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will be happy!" Chun An said with a smile.

"Chun'an, you'll be a sycophant!" Amber said.

"Hey! The emperor is above, I am telling the truth!" Chun An said sincerely.

"Okay, okay, you two don't have to quarrel anymore,

I'm going in to see Your Majesty!"

After speaking, he stepped into the Qinzheng Hall and went straight to the study.

"Your Majesty, are you still worried about state affairs?" Xiao Mingyue said to Chen Xian.

When Chen Xian saw Xiao Mingyue coming, a few smiles appeared on his face, and he hurriedly motioned for Xiao Mingyue to come to his side.

"Yue'er, you're here!"

"It's autumn, and the weather is getting cooler! I specially made some osmanthus cake and white fungus bird's nest porridge, Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and you must also take care of the dragon's body!" Xiao Mingyue said with concern.

"If you really want to be a widow, this is autumn, you also have to pay attention to your body, sooner or later, don't catch a cold! Add charcoal fire to the dormitory earlier!"

"Mingyue knows, don't bother Your Majesty! This porridge is still hot! Your Majesty, drink it! After drinking, I will fold it!" Xiao Mingyue admonished.

"Good!"

Outside, Amber and Chun'an chatted in a low voice.

Amber said, "Your Majesty is really still worried about the flooding of the Yellow River?"

Chun'an listened, looked around, and whispered to Amber: "It's not! Your Majesty has been worried about the early dynasty, and it is better to go to disaster relief than disaster relief, Your Majesty feels that it is not very appropriate!"

"What do you think?" Amber asked.

"Me? I'm a minion, what can I know! I just want to be safe and live out my old age like my master!" Chun An said.

"Look at your little bit of interest!"

"I'm a eunuch, what do I want! Your Majesty is happy, as long as I am happy, I don't want to be faced!"

"Look! Your Majesty will definitely be persuaded by the young lady! That's a thousand lives!" Amber sighed.

Inside the temple.

Chen Xian drank bird's nest porridge and tasted two pieces of osmanthus cake made by Xiao Mingyue.

"What does Your Majesty think of the taste?" Xiao Mingyue asked.

"This osmanthus is a high-grade fragrant osmanthus, but this side doesn't seem to taste right!" Chen Xian said with a frown.

Xiao Mingyue heard this, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? Mingyue asked Cai Wei and them to make peace early in the morning, there shouldn't be anything wrong!"

After saying that, he picked up a piece and tasted it.

Then he frowned and said angrily: "It's all Cai Wei who is lazy and put too much soda in the face!"

"Yes! They're careless enough!" Chen Xian said.

"Your Majesty, this flour is produced in the Hetao Plain, delicate and mellow! Now, isn't it a pity to lose it like this? "

"Then give it to the palace people!"

"Such an unpalatable pastry, even if you use good flour and osmanthus, the palace people will not appreciate it if they eat it!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Chen Xian listened, looked at Xiao Mingyue, and the two looked at each other for a long time.

"If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt you to say it!" Chen Xian then said.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow River bursts, there are many people on both sides of the river, although they are the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran, but there is abundant wheat and millet there, if so, those farmers have lost their lives, and there is no harvest this year, I am afraid, such delicious flour, even if Your Majesty sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, you will not be able to eat it! And those victims are now asking for nothing else but to be able to live, to leave a life, and to continue sowing and farming!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Chen Xian listened, and then picked up a piece of osmanthus cake.

"You're really changing your way to persuade the widow!" Chen Xian said.

"Mingyue just wants to make osmanthus cakes for His Majesty all the time!"
