Emperor Hongji became excited.

There's news......

Now the roads there are cut off, the people have been displaced, the original county town and villages, has long been unrecognizable, no one knows where people have gone, therefore, it is difficult to get the news as quickly as possible.

Now that there is news, it has greatly surprised Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Read." ”

After the minister learned of the collapse, the Lingqiu County warden Feishu reported that Lingqiu County was miserable since the collapse of the ground, thousands of houses collapsed, countless dead and wounded, the aftermath of the collapse was endless for three days, the mountain slived, the river embankment collapsed, the Lingqiu army and civilians, trapped in fire and water, if there is no rescue, only afraid of natural disasters and caused its human disaster. Its warden also reported that Lingqiu County Jukou Hu Kaishan, in the early years was listed as a prisoner, the government repeatedly encircled and suppressed, but was killed by it, this thief is ferocious, it is said that the body is one zhang long, the tiger's back is bear's waist, and a hundred people are invincible. Now, this thief took advantage of the situation, gathered thousands of chaotic people, crisscrossed Lingqiu, and the soldiers and civilians in the disaster area died and were in sight, so I implore Your Majesty...... Decided. ”

“……”

The tragic situation in the disaster area, Emperor Hongzhi listened to it as if he was holding a big stone on his head, like a fish in his throat.

But what really made him change color was the thief Hu Kaishan.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jingnai is the overseer of Dongchang, and he understood the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, so he hurriedly said: "This person, the slave maid has some impressions, this person is really powerful, he has single-handedly attacked the grain team, killed dozens of guards, looted property, Datong Dusi has surrounded and suppressed, but it's a pity that ......"

Syllable!

Just hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was furious.

"Just a thief, can't Datong Dusi be exterminated?"

"This ......" Xiao Jing said with a smile: "He is hiding in the mountains......"

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "But now, taking advantage of the catastrophe, he came out to harm people, and he coerced thousands of people, have you ever thought about what a big man-made disaster this will cause?" Have you ever wondered what will happen to the crown prince, Fang Jifan, and the students of Xishan Academy once they are attacked by these evil bandits? ”

Xiao Jing said in fear in the imperial city, "Slave maid...... Slaves and maids are dead! The slave and the maid go... A trip to Lingqiu, no matter what, I have to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "I can't wait to go, I stay in this Forbidden City, I can't sleep and eat, if it weren't for me being the Son of Heaven, I would be in Lingqiu County now." Message: Lingqiu County disaster, transfer 5,000 people from the Beijing camp to the left of Lingqiu County, try to see if you can enter the disaster area, before entering, you need to be cautious, absolutely not, because rash entry, but make the officers and soldiers become a burden, the county is isolated from the mountain roads, there is not enough food, these people go in, it is useless, can only be used as a response. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Then I will order Xie Qian, a scholar of the Cabinet University, to select some people, go to Lingqiu County in person, and find a way to enter the disaster area, I always feel that a group of children ran there, don't worry, there is Xie Qing's family, if you can find them, it will be easier to do." ”

Emperor Hongzhi can be said to be anxious at this time, and he can't take care of anything at the moment, although the imperial court also has a precedent for ordering officials to go to the disaster area, but it is generally the court's squire or the imperial history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Inspectorate, like today's specifications, but it is rare.

…………

Xie Qian received the king's order, but it made many people worry about him!

The situation in Lingqiu County is still unknown, at this time, it is very likely that many unforeseen things will happen, I dare not say that I will die in one life, but there is a danger to my life, but it is also certain.

Xie Qian was quite indifferent, he was not more worried about his own safety, there was a prince in Lingqiu County, and there were so many students from Xishan Academy, which one of them was not shallow.

What's more, according to the current situation, if the relief to Lingqiu County is not timely, the bandit trouble will be aggravated, Lingqiu County is next door to Beizhili, if there are tens of thousands of bandits raging, what a terrible thing.

He knew he had a heavy burden.

It is also understandable for His Majesty to let his cabinet scholar enter Lingqiu County, except for Zaifu like himself, who has the ability to quickly stabilize the situation in the disaster area?

This Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, Xie Qian is by no means looking down on anyone, but there are not many people who can really take charge of themselves.

It's just that for the candidates selected to enter the disaster area, it made Xie Qian difficult, this time, the people who want to go to the disaster area are surprisingly enthusiastic, and Shen Wen, a scholar of Hallym University, is the first to ask for help, he has to go, in his words, he will die in Lingqiu.

There are also quite a few other officials, who are actually scrambling to be the first.

Xie Qian couldn't cry or laugh, and the time was pressing, so he immediately set off with people.

The mighty people and horses, walking extremely fast, Lingqiu County and Beizhili are separated, but 400 miles, in the later generations, but only 200 kilometers.

Coupled with the subordinate officials, one by one, they were anxious and kept urging, Xie Qian suddenly found that he had been kidnapped by this vote!

These people, led by Shen Wen, are full of urging to go quickly! If you are tired, you naturally want to take a break, even if the sedan chair bearers are not tired, this horse is tired enough. But if it doesn't work, I have to go......

Shen Wen said awe-inspiringly: "Duke Xie, the disaster is urgent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been whereabouts so far, and the people are in the midst of fire and water, how can we afford to delay?" ”

The others also said: "Yes, yes, Your Highness's safety is very important." ”

"Gong Xie, if you are one step late, I am afraid of causing a big disaster."

Xie Qian looked confused, he had always been good at debating, but now he was besieged by a group of people, all of them were full of righteousness, and he didn't know what to say for a while!

Then, he glanced at the palanquin bearers who almost wanted to die, and finally confessed.

Everyone said that Xie Qian was short-tempered and unforgiving, but Xie Qian was not stupid, these people who were concerned about their son were unreasonable, and most importantly, there were many of them.

Xie Qian said: "Then walk for a while first, let people rest." ”

"Okay, walk!" Shen Wen didn't feel embarrassed.

So the group walked along the rugged mountain road, and it only took four or five days to enter Lingqiu County.

Soon, they found a convoy of grain from the West Mountain.

This is much easier, Xie Qian wanted to inquire about the situation in the mountains, but the people of this grain team were also newcomers, and there was only one person who led the team and said a few words.

When talking about the situation of the bandits, the man said, "I haven't heard of any thieves." ”

"......" At this point, Xie Qian felt that there was no need to communicate with this kind of person, and he couldn't get any useful information, so what else could he talk about.

So a group of people continued to climb over the mountains and mountains, and watched many villages being directly moved to the ground halfway, which made them feel chills in their hearts.

Shen Wen already felt that he was going to die, his back hurt badly, the soles of his feet were also worn out, he was limping, and his eyes were red.

But in his heart, he was just thinking that Shen Ao also entered the mountain from here.

Ao'er ...... How much suffering I have suffered?

Looking at the rocks that fell from the bottom of the mountain, Shen Wen's heart felt even more terrible, the current terrain looked much better, but when Shen Ao and them entered the disaster area, so many things fell from this mountain, wouldn't it be to smash people into meat pies.

Nothing will happen, right?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Shen Wen shuddered, and became afraid.

So he didn't care about the pain anymore and continued to stagger.

A group of court officials entered the mountainous area, and they couldn't take the sedan chair, and they cried out one by one, and they had never suffered like this in their lives.

But they still insisted that they must go on.

Xie Qian wanted to stay, but he was worried that there would be a thief, he was Zaifu, and this time he hurriedly entered the disaster area, it was really embarrassing, and many honor guards were abandoned along the way......

But now when I look back, there is a group of old guys rolling in the mud, ragged, and embarrassed.

The old guys didn't dare to stop, their consciousness was still very high, some people broke their feet, couldn't walk, and waved to everyone: "You go, thousands of people, life and death are just around the corner, don't care about the old man, you take care of yourself, the old man stays here, leave me some dry food, let a messenger accompany you here, eh, yo yo, it doesn't hurt, you don't have to take medicine, there is no doctor here, you don't have to spend manpower and material resources to send the old man back, I am here to relieve the disaster, I am here to calm the people, my lords, they will please give it to you." Go, go......"

Xie Qian's mood was that he wanted to die again.

As a cabinet scholar, his age is much older than the officials who have passed their thirties and forties, you can bear it, the old man can't bear it, he was supported by someone, climbed over a mountain, and saw in the distance, it is still a mountain road that stretches to the mountains, he gritted his teeth, pressed his hand and said: "No, no, really not, you have to rest, rest......"

"Gong Xie ......" Shen Wen was right behind him, he looked at Xie Qian pitifully with red eyes, and even his voice was a little desolate.

"......" Xie Qian didn't say anything, as Zaifu, he should be an example.

So...... What else can I say.

Let's go!

Xie Qian is not a person who does not love the people, but only covets his own personal enjoyment.

It's just that...... He is a human being, an old man, a flesh and blood body, dying, stepping into a coffin with one foot, and a person who has never suffered so much in his life.

He wished his foot had broken too.

But...... He also knows very well that even if his foot is broken, he can't hide from it, so let's go, let's go, just die here.

So he gritted his teeth and continued to stagger forward with the help of his trembling calves.

Along the way, there was hardly anyone to see along the way, only the traces of devastation and destruction by the landslide, and there were always some strange sounds in the mountain forest, Xie Qian was worried, and he was not sure if the thieves here were hiding nearby, ready to rush out at any time and kill their tired people.

But the others seemed to be full of care, and continued to move forward, one by one with urgency and hope in their eyes.
