Chapter 151: Show and People's Hearts
Hu Hai was silent for a long time, he knew that he was on the front line of disaster relief in the north. Wei Yu is not the most suitable candidate, because the art of war that Wei Yu is best at is strategy.
And this time to go north to help the disaster, it requires a keen and unparalleled political talent. This time I went north, not only because nearly a million ordinary people were dying.
In essence, this time it went north to the counties of the Northlands. In fact, it is also a kind of political showmanship.
With his heart rolling, Hu Hai patted the emperor's case: "Since this is the case, the national lieutenant immediately prepares, and immediately goes north to the counties of Beidi half a day later to coordinate and command disaster relief matters." ”
"Your Majesty obeys!" Wei Yi's eyes were overjoyed, and he complied with his order.
Hu Hai said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the life and death of the Great Qin Empire, and I will bear any storms and waves of the government and the opposition. ”
"Zuo Xiangfu, Black Ice Terrace, the national lieutenant let go of rectification and disaster relief. Bow to Lao Qin and go to the national disaster together. Don't forget this sentence. ”
"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together. The ministers dare not forget each other when they die. ”
……
"Your Majesty intends to go north in person?" In an instant, Zuo Xiangzi was a little enlightened. Hu Hai's series of actions just now are paving the way for him to go north.
"Hmm."
Nodding, Hu Hai did not hide it at all. Even if he was broken by his thoughts, he was still calm: "Going north for disaster relief is an opportunity to turn my reputation around!" ”
"Your Majesty, no!" Prostrate on the ground, bow three times. Zuo Xiangzi Ying is a royal bloodline and the left minister of the empire, and Hu Hai is not the difference between heaven and earth.
According to traditional practice, there is no need for such unusual etiquette. Once this solemn etiquette comes out, it will surely become the focus.
"Zuo Xiang, please get up quickly." Hu Hai pondered for a moment and sighed faintly: "You and my uncle and nephew, you don't have to take this big gift." ”
"Although he is an uncle and nephew, His Majesty is the second emperor of Great Qin, and there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the old minister does not dare to overstep."
A gleam flashed under Hu Hai's eyes: "Prime Minister Zuo, please take a seat, Prime Minister Zuo is so gifted, there must be something, say something!" ”
Although Ziying sat in front of the long case, it was silent, but it also made people feel that there was a feeling that the wind was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. He pondered for a moment, bowed his hand to Hu Hai, and said.
"The counties of the Northland have suffered natural disasters, and the common people must go crazy for food. Your Majesty, as the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire, will definitely become the target of public criticism once he goes north. ”
"Going to Northland County here must be very dangerous. There is a way that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, His Majesty is responsible for the revival of the Great Qin Empire, and the old minister thinks that he should sit in Xianyang and coordinate the overall situation. ”
At the end of the sentence, Ziying stood up, bowed deeply to Hu Hai, and sat down casually.
Hu Hai was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "There is a national captain, and there are even more iron eagles and sharp soldiers with them, and the imperial court has opened a warehouse to release grain to save the people, I believe that the old Qin people will not make a move on me!" ”
After a pause, Hu Hai said, "Lieutenant, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Hearing this, Wei Yu took over the conversation and sighed with emotion, word by word, and said: "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!" The old Qin people are willing to die for the Great Qin Empire and are willing to be loyal to His Majesty. ”
"The old Qin people will only have a long sword to the outside world, and they will definitely not draw a sword, Your Majesty!"
With Wei Yi's words, Ziying didn't know how to refute for a while. After a moment of silence, he said: "This time is different from the past, not all the counties in the north are loyal and patriotic old Qin people. ”
"This gossip is the most obvious example. Lao Chen felt that His Majesty was still sitting in Xianyang, and it was the most appropriate to take care of everything! ”
"This matter has been decided!" Hu Hai took the case and said resolutely: "The government is governed by the left minister, and the seat is in Xianyang." I and the lieutenant immediately went north to coordinate the disaster relief. ”
"Yes!" Seeing that there was nothing to do, the ministers of the palace shouted in unison and withdrew from the main hall of Xianyang Palace one after another.
……
The edict of Hu Hai was promulgated, and the news of the Great Qin Empire's disaster relief spread far and wide. For a while, the people of the northern counties celebrated.
In the past few days, hail has raged, and the fields with rolling wheat waves have been in ruins. The fields that could have had a bumper harvest were made useless by the hard work of the Chinese people.
The elder of the household, who was in charge of government affairs, supervised more than thirty servants to remove hail and stagnant water from the courtyards, courtyards, and carriages, and the carriages that came in a hurry from various counties and counties.
Came and went, went and came. It can be said that it is endless, hurried, and endless.
The people who visited the county guard were all county officials, nobles from the northern counties, and the three elders of the common people from all over the country, all of whom were prestigious.
Some of them drove magnificent bronze chariots, some set up wooden chariots, and some even ox carts. Although the clothes are different, they come together from near or far.
But they all have the same sadness and helplessness in their expressions. In the city of Jingyang, where natural disasters struck and were slaughtered, there seemed to be corpses piled up.
Hail fell from the sky, and Northland County suffered heavy losses. At this moment, the main hall of the county guard mansion has long been nowhere to stand, and under the tent erected in the courtyard for temporary emergencies, it is also full of all kinds of guests.
Among them were young nobles in rich robes, commoners in short shirts, and gray-haired old men. Many people came together, and to their surprise there was no sound other than the sound of breathing.
Time passed quietly, and the twilight had fallen, and the downpour after the hail was small, but still drizzling.
At this time, the waiting people gradually became uneasy, and there was an uproar in the hall unconsciously.
……
"I haven't eaten or drunk, I've been chattering here for a day, why hasn't Lord County Guard shown up for a long time?" Someone was surprised.
"That's right, it's time for the county keeper to come out and say a few words." Some people can't help but speak, and their hearts are indignant.
"However, the crown is like a cloud, and the common people and nobles are gathered together, and it is not necessary to get the personal affirmation of the county guard!" The uproar arose, and the crowd gradually became uneasy.
"Yes, yes, why hasn't the county keeper come out yet?" In the midst of the discussions, some old people muttered loudly and dissatisfied.
The counties of the Northland have suffered natural disasters, and countless families are waiting for the rescue of the imperial court. Now that the county guard is hidden, it naturally causes everyone's dissatisfaction.
……
"Your Excellency!" Just when there was chaos, the old man walked out of the main hall and shouted.
For a moment, the noise stopped abruptly. It's like being suddenly choked by the neck and unable to make a sound.
The impatient waiting crowd suddenly came to their senses, and stood up in unison, staring eagerly at the stone door that led to the dormitory in the main hall.
With a tired cough, Wei Yu walked out of the next door. As he walked through the hall and under the porch, his gaze slowly swept over the main hall and across the courtyard.
Impatiently, everyone, both nobles and commoners, bowed their heads in shame, avoiding his tired and murderous gaze.
They all know that natural disasters have struck. As the guard of Northland, the pressure on Yu's heart, and the business that needs to be dealt with. This time, everyone came to disturb it, which was a big mistake.
