Chapter 397: Disaster Relief

In the past few days, from the stars holding the moon after the martial arts test, to now everyone avoids it, Lu Yun can be regarded as having seen the warmth and coldness of people, and can be regarded as distinguishing which people can rely on and which people are not enough at all.

That's right, I'm talking about the so-called elite gate valve children. When he was drunk in Sanqiu, Lu Yun really had some thoughts that he could unite these people and do a great career together. But as soon as he divorced Xiahou Valve, none of the guys who patted their chests and called him brothers and sisters, saying that they wanted to share weal and butter with him, disappeared.

When he gathered in front of the ceremonial department this morning, except for Lu Song and a few, the rest of the people avoided him and hid far away, even Cui Valve and a few people only nodded from afar, and they didn't even have a word of warmth.

This made Lu Yun secretly sneer, laughing at how naïve he was, he actually valued these children who looked like grass on the wall, and wanted to bother to make friends with them......

This idea is obviously very wrong, his opponent is a giant like the Great Grandmaster of the Valve Master, and it is obviously worth fighting for himself, and it should also be a giant like the Valve Master and the Great Grandmaster. And you shouldn't spend a little more energy on these hairy children.

Here Lu Yun was secretly introspecting, and the sound of Zaza's carriage sounded on the Tongtian Road over there, and naturally the lords of the valves had arrived.

The officials in the field hurriedly stopped to greet each other, returned to their places, sorted out their appearances and stood still, and greeted the arrival of the old lady Xiahou and the dukes. Everyone noticed that among these belated giants, only Lu Shang, the lord of the land valve, was missing.

Xiahou Ba, with the support of Xiahou Immortal, slowly stepped out of the carriage, and saw Lu Yun standing at the forefront of the scholars at a glance. Without stopping on Lu Yun for a moment, the old lady's indifferent gaze moved forward......

Ying Tianmen slowly opened.

In the Jianyuan Palace, the early dynasty began.

The initial emperor sat on the imperial couch and first accepted the worship of hundreds of officials. Then Wei Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out to report that the new scholar was already waiting outside the palace, waiting to meet the saint and thank him.

After the initial emperor announced the meeting, the 'protégés of the Son of Heaven', under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, entered the main hall and bowed to the initial emperor. But today's new science and technology scholars face the saint, it is only a ceremony to show the solemnity of the imperial court, and it will not be awarded on the spot. The specific appointment of each scholar still needs to be coordinated and decided by the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province before the appointment will be assigned to each person.

Therefore, the emperor warmly said a few words of encouragement, and the new scholars thanked him and went down to the palace.

Then, the morning meeting got to the point.

I listened to the left servant of Shangshu in charge of the household department, shoot Xie Xun out of the class to report.

"Your Majesty, the relief grain and grass requisitioned from various states and counties have arrived in Beijing one after another. Judging from the accounts in the newspaper, the grain of Xingluo Cangtun has exceeded 10 million stones, which can barely allow the affected states and counties to survive the spring famine. ”

"Yes, it's pretty good." The initial emperor bowed slightly, expressing approval.

However, the 60 counties affected this time, with 5 million victims, belong to seven states. The seven states are not affiliated with each other, and the extent of the disaster is not the same, and the amount of food and grass needed for disaster relief is also different. Relying solely on the household department and the states to connect will inevitably lead to scramble, and it will be impossible to get food to where it is needed most. Xie Xun paused as he spoke, and said slowly: "The old minister and the monk Shangshu have discussed it, and I think that the imperial court should be asked to set up a special disaster relief envoy to fully coordinate the distribution of disaster relief grain and grass. ”

"Well, well thought out." The Initial Emperor nodded, this is what it should mean. Then he asked again: "Then you Shangshu Province, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

"This, I have to ask the Chinese book to decide." Who knew that Xie Xun changed his words and led the topic to Xiahou Ba.

The initial emperor couldn't help but feel tired in his heart, and naturally understood that these old kings were singing double reeds again.

"Is there a candidate for the old lady?" The initial emperor didn't look at Xiahou Ba, his eyes looked at the corner of the sky outside the palace gate, and asked.

"Xie Fushu asked for instructions from Zhongshu Province yesterday, the old minister thought about it, Lu Xin, the Zhongshu squire, is capable and accessible, and has been an official in the state and county all the year round, so it is very suitable to deal with local officials." If it were usual, Xiahou Ba would definitely hand over this kind of nomination to Cui Valve, but how could Cui Yan push his in-laws into the fire pit at this time. He was also impatient to fake the hands of others again, so he simply went into battle to have a good time.

The eyes of all the officials fell on Lu Xin. Sympathy, regret, and schadenfreude, the minds of all officials are different. But there is one thing to agree on, that is, this upstart who has just been promoted to five levels in a row is going to be cold now......

The so-called rise is also vigorous, and its death is also vigorous, which is really the best portrayal of Lu Xin's father and son.

"Zhongshu Shilang is just a fourth-grade official," the initial emperor couldn't help frowning when he heard that Xiahou Ba couldn't wait to openly take revenge on Lu Yun's father, and said slowly: "Those assassins are all third-grade, how can Lu Xin talk to them hard?" After a pause, he said: "Besides, the widow remembers, he has been promoted to five levels in a row this year, and the old lady is a talent, and there should be a limit to overpromotion, right?" If you look at it, let's change it to a book. ”

"Your Majesty is overwhelmed." Xiahou Ba did not allow the initial emperor to shirk at all, and said categorically: "The disaster relief envoy is a messenger, representing His Majesty and the imperial court, who dares to bully him because of his low official position?" That is to deceive the king, and the sin is unforgivable! ”

The Taishi and the emperor were on top again, and the atmosphere in the Jianyuan Hall suddenly became stagnant again.

"What does Shang Shuling mean?" In the past, no one would speak the tone of the first emperor, so he hated this dynasty. But today, the original emperor's extravagant hopes can be a little different.

In the eyes of the original emperor, the situation of the Lu family's father and son can be regarded as being harmed by Cui Valve. It's reasonable, Cui Yan should help Lu Xin say something, right?

"Back to Your Majesty." Seeing Cui Yan's expressionless face, he said: "If Zhongshu Province sets a charter, Shangshu Province will naturally follow it." As for the other problems, they can be overcome. ”

"Hehe......" Xiahou Ba couldn't help laughing, glanced at Cui Yan with slightly squinted eyes, and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that this old slippery head would not dare to really go against himself.

The initial emperor on the couch sank, and he still underestimated Xiahou Ba's control over the various valves. Yes, even Lu Shang took sick leave, and he didn't dare to support his children, how could he expect Cui Yan to help Lu Xin carry Xiahou Ba?

As soon as he thought of this, the Initial Emperor couldn't help but sit on pins and needles, he didn't even dare to look at Lu Xin, lest he would see the helplessness and disappointment in the other party's eyes......

The things that the initial imperial capital couldn't turn over, naturally there was no part for Lu Xin to speak. He had no choice but to silently go out to receive orders, saying that he would definitely do a good job and let the victims survive the spring famine safely.

In the next court meeting, the initial emperor became more and more cowardly, and listened to Xiahou Ba's spittle about a few things, and then asked Du Hui to announce his retirement from the dynasty.

After seeing the initial emperor leave, the officials sent the Taishi and several dukes first, and then they walked out of the Jianyuan Hall and went to Yingtianmen.
