Let Yang Lian go, are you doing it on purpose, or are you pretending to be confused.

When several bigwigs in the cabinet heard this, their noses almost crooked.

What is Yang Lian doing, that is the hardcore of the Donglin Party, an absolute tiger general, let him go to death, who is willing to do this old fox.

Shi Jikai immediately said: "Although Yang Lian is honest and honest, and has a reputation, I don't think he is the best candidate. To serve as a feudal territory, you must have the political achievements of governing the locality, and you must have served at least one term as a prefect. Yang Lian has only served as the county commander for three years, and it is really inappropriate for him to patrol Henan. Although his reason was far-fetched, he still pulled Yang Lian back, and then he said: "Looking at the capital, it is both fair and honest, iron-faced and selfless, and has a high reputation, and there is a ...... of political achievements in governing the local area" Shi Jikai said this, paused deliberately, and said after a while: "I think of a person." ”

Everyone knew who he wanted to say, but they still pretended to look forward to Shi Jikai. "Brother Shicheng, I don't know who you are thinking of?"

"This person is none other than Yin Yuesu of Shuntian Mansion. Lord Yue's name of Qingtian has long been spread throughout the capital, and he is not afraid of the powerful, and he is a model for us. Moreover, when Lord Yue was the prefect of Tongren, he governed the place in an orderly manner and had a good reputation. Wouldn't it be a blessing for the court and the people to be in charge of Henan by him. ”

Shi Jikai was speechless, and when he finished speaking, everyone made a sudden appearance, Ye nodded to Gao Lianlian, and said: "What Brother Shicheng said is very true, why didn't I think of it." Lord Yue is just right, what do you say? ”

"Exactly, exactly......" "Governor of Henan, it is none other than Lord Yue." "How can there be a more suitable candidate than Lord Yue, it is best for him to be the person." …… In the praise of everyone, the cabinet made a grand plan to be governor of Henan by Yue Su. When the cabinet quieted down, Ye Xianggao said lightly: "Since all the princes have decided that Lord Yue will govern Henan, then let's vote for it, and present it to the emperor when the court is in the meeting." ”

The charter was quickly drawn up, and Yue Su was to patrol Henan, provide relief to the victims, and supervise the river works. The household department allocated 300,000 taels of silver and sent it directly to Henan Buzheng.

As for whether there is so much silver, that's a later story, anyway, I'll send you away first.

After the cabinet meeting, Feng Quan hurriedly ran to Wei Zhongxian's mansion and told Gonggong Wei in detail about tonight's cabinet agreement. Wei Zhongxian listened to this, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Do you think Your Majesty will agree to let Yue Su leave Beijing?" ”

"It's about the same, it is said that the disaster is serious, and the cabinet has already voted for it, so there should be no problem." Feng Quan replied cautiously.

"The emperor can't leave Yue Su for a day now, how can he let Yue Su leave Beijing because of this matter. Do you think that if Ye Xiang Gao proposes this matter at the court meeting tomorrow, His Majesty will approve it? Wei Zhongxian said coldly.

"That guy Yue Su always goes against us, if you don't let him out, staying in the capital is really in the way, and it won't do us any good." Feng Quan said hatefully.

"Yue Su, I've almost touched it now, this person is definitely a pillar of the body, a master who is dedicated to the public. Although he always pleases the emperor, that is his cleverness, unlike Ye Xianggao's gang, who always want to compete with the emperor for power. Let them fight, and when Yue Su leaves, their death will be approaching. In this way, with Ye Xianggao and them, it is impossible to drive away Yue Su, and when the court is meeting tomorrow, our people will also have to make some efforts. At that time, everyone seconded the proposal, and I hope it will be bigger. It's just ......" Wei Zhongxian sighed when he said this, "Whether Yue Su will leave or not, the initiative should be in his own hands, and once he resolutely refuses, His Majesty will not let him go." So, so, so......, so

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's strategy, Feng Quan's eyes lit up, he stretched out his thumb, and said, "Dugong, it's really clever." You want Yue Su to jump in by himself. ”

The next morning, Yue Su went to the court, he was low-key, so there were never many, except for the four sedan chair men, Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, he took eight Shuntianfu messengers.

In the summer morning, many vendors have come out of their stalls, mostly selling steamed buns, steamed buns, tofu brains, fried dough sticks, soy milk and the like.

As he was walking, he heard someone not far in front of him say with a Henan accent: "Uncle, okay, we are fleeing from Henan, and we haven't eaten for three days, so you can enjoy the stuttering......"

"I'll tell you a few, I'm also a small business, and the business is also sluggish, there are so many of you, how can I afford it." Give you two steamed buns, and you can ask for them from another house......"

"Thank you, thank you......"

Then, Yue Su heard a noisy voice again, "Give me a bite." "That's what someone gave me, you won't go to another house to ask for it." …… Yue Su opened the sedan curtain and took a look, only to see that there were more than 30 people in front of him who were competing for two steamed buns.

"Get off the sedan chair."

Yue Su gave an order, the sedan chair man dropped the sedan chair, Yue Su pointed to those called Huazi, and said, "Bring them over." ”

An errand officer agreed, stepped forward to shout, and called a group of Hanako. "Come here, come here, my adults have something to say to you."

When the Hanako saw the officials in official uniforms, they were all startled, and they came over tremblingly, and knelt down together in front of the sedan chair. "The grass people knock to see the big man." ...... "Get up." Yue Su walked out of the sedan chair and waited until the flowers stood up, then he said, "Listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a local, where did you come from?" ”

"Lord Hui, Xiaomin and others fled from Wen County, Huaiqing Prefecture, Henan."

The matter of the Yellow River breaking, Yue Su, as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, has also heard a little, but this matter is handled by the cabinet, and he is not very clear about the specific situation. He asked, "How are you doing over there?" ”

"The small people all live on the banks of the Yellow River, and when they saw the heavy rain and the rising water of the Yellow River, they knew that it was not good and fled into the county seat one after another. Later, the flood broke down the river embankment, flooded all the fields, and I was homeless, and there was no food, so I had to wait until the water fell, begging along the streets, and fleeing north, now I don't know much about the specific situation, but people like us who can't eat are everywhere, and I have seen a lot along the way. If we are young, we can still escape, and those who are old can only wait for death in the same place...... I think my poor old mother was starving to death on the road......." the refugee began to cry as he spoke.

Seeing that he was crying sincerely, Yue Su was also a little sad, and said: "The place is in a disaster, and the local government should open a warehouse to release grain as soon as possible, even if the food is not enough, it is necessary to set up a porridge shed and temporarily resettle the people." Where you are, will the government sit idly by and let the people starve to death? ”

"Porridge shed, how can there be such a good thing. We stayed in the county seat of Wenxian for three days, and we saw that more and more hungry people had fled to the city, and we did not see the county lord take out a grain of grain. We were really hungry, so we fled north, and if it wasn't for the last resort, who would want to leave their home. Another man said helplessly.

Yue Su nodded, and said earnestly: "Jin Cicada, buy a hundred steamed buns for them." After speaking, sit in the sedan chair.

As soon as they heard Yue Su say that they would be rewarded with steamed buns, these refugees hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......."

Jin Cicada bought steamed buns and distributed them to them, and these refugees were grateful, and they ate them in large gulps, and some even shed tears. Yue Su went to the court, and these refugees waited until Yue Su walked away, and walked into a nearby alley together, and in the depths of the alley, there was a young man dressed as a family member standing there waiting for them.

With a smile on his face, the young man said, "You have done a good job, and this is a reward for you." After saying that, he took out the copper coins from his bosom and scattered them on the ground one by one.

The refugees immediately lay on the ground and rushed to the ground, but the young man sneered, as if watching a pack of dogs grab food. When he threw out the last handful of copper coins, he walked away.

"There is a book out of the class to play early, and there is no book to retreat. ”

Above the court, Baiguanshan shouted long live, and after saluting, a eunuch shouted loudly.

After shouting in this voice, Shoufu Ye Xianggao stood up, "The minister has this." ”

"Ye Aiqing, what's the matter?" Zhu Youxiao, who was high up, asked.

"Long live Qiyu, the Yellow River burst, Henan disaster, the political envoy Zou Jiaren played one after another, imploring the imperial court to issue silver for disaster relief and rebuild the river. Yesterday, the cabinet deliberated overnight and decided to allocate 300,000 taels of silver from the household department to solve this urgent need. However, disaster relief and the rebuilding of river fortifications are of great importance, and the imperial court needs to send a major minister to preside over it. Ye Xianggao said respectfully.

"Aiqing is reasonable, I am right. But I wonder if the cabinet can plan which ministers will go to Henan? Zhu Youxiao said lightly.

"The cabinet thinks that the people sent should not only be impartial, but also quite prestigious, and there are not many people in the court who are so important. I waited overnight to weigh it, and finally decided that it was Lord Yin Yue of Shuntian Mansion who was the most suitable. Ye Xianggao said.

"Let Yue Su go?" Zhu Youxiao, who was originally pleasant-looking, immediately sank his face when he heard this. said: "With so many officials in the Manchu Dynasty, is it only Yue Aiqing who can do things?" ”

This is a little heavy, so it is not difficult to reflect the emperor's dissatisfaction. is just such a person who plays with himself, you still plan to let him go, how can Carpenter Zhu be willing.

"Back to Your Majesty." Second assistant Han Yi immediately stood up, "Lord Yue is selfless and upright, and he is indeed the most suitable person." ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Yue is indeed the most suitable person." …… Shi Jikai, Shen Xiao, and He Zongyan followed suit.

These people are all old fritters, and they will never answer the emperor's questions, only saying that Yue Su is the most suitable.

The Donglin Party members in the court seemed to have a tacit understanding, and as soon as they finished speaking, the official department Shangshu [***] Xing also followed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Lord Yue can take on a great responsibility, which is the most suitable." Immediately after, all the Donglin Party members echoed one after another.

"Lord Yue can take on a big responsibility, which is the most suitable." …… Feng Quan on the side saw that all the Donglin Party was in battle, and he also stood up, "Your Majesty, Lord Yue is not only honest and honest, has both ability and political integrity, and is good at governing the place, but also knows a lot about the affairs of the household department and the Ministry of Industry. I also hope that Your Majesty will be clear. ”

Above the court, those who have always been in favor of the Donglin Party are mostly opposed, or silent. Now that Gu Bingqian and the others saw Feng Quan coming out, they agreed with the Donglin Party to drive away Yue Su, and they would understand it.

Gu Bingqian also came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, what Ye Shoufu and Han Cifu said is extremely true, and Weichen also approves of Lord Yue going to Henan. ”

Most of the ministers who can go to the court now are the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, and a small part of the remaining ones are either remnants of the three parties or people without party affiliation. Above the Golden Palace, there were only voices in favor of Yue Su's trip to Henan. On the temple, a rare unity of opinion happened to Yue Su.

Zhu Youxiao, who is accustomed to the endless disputes between various parties, is still the first time he has encountered this kind of unifying opinion. Although he is the emperor, he doesn't know what to do in the face of this kind of formation. In the end, he had to look at Yue Su and said, "Yue Aiqing, what do you mean, are you willing to go to Henan?" ”
