The Taiping Hall has not held such a temporary "rush dynasty" as today for a long time.

The so-called "urgent dynasty", that is a very important event in the country, the convening of civil and military officials on the urgent deliberations of the abnormal court meeting, so when the more than a dozen drums outside the gate of the East Palace sounded like a shock, the "urgent drums" in various places in Yanjing City also sounded, hundreds of drums sounded in all corners of Yanjing City, Yanjing City can be heard everywhere, officials smell the drums, do not dare to slack off, have put down their affairs, gathered in the Taiping Palace.

In the eyes of most people, such a rush is related to the border war, but recently I haven't heard that Qingguo is attacking Yan Guo, as for the Wind Country, it is even more impossible to go out of the territory of the Wind Country to provoke the Yan State.

Of course, a very small number of officials knew the reason for this rush.

The emperor was wearing a fiery red dragon robe, sitting on the dragon throne like a flame, and said directly to Taishi Xiao: "Taishi, why is it in a hurry, you tell you Aiqing." ”

Master Xiao stood up and said respectfully, "Obey." After a deep groan, he said in a deep voice: "Today's report, the Dachang River in Yichun County...... Because of the rainstorm, the embankment has burst, a hundred miles, Susong, Huangmei and most of the land of Lanhe three counties have been invaded by floods, washing down countless houses, casualties are said to be more than 10,000 people, the people of the three counties have fled to the north, when the emergency report came up, Yichun County was still raining, and the imperial court was asked to send people to rescue immediately! ”

The hometown of He Qingzhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is in Yichun County, and the two counties of Huangmei and Lanhe are also on the territory of the He family, and the two counties have burst the embankment and flooded, which is not only a major blow to the people of the entire Yichun County, but also a great blow to the He family.

Yichun County has a total of seven counties, and the He family occupies three counties, and two of these counties were suddenly hit by floods, which consumed countless manpower and material resources, which has shaken the foundation of the He family.

He Qingzhi has been out of the court at this time, a sad face, not a fake, this He family in Yichun County has a lot of people, this suffering is not only the people of Yichun, the He family is naturally involved, more importantly, the He family in Yichun County has a lot of industry, this flood washed, everything was washed away, the richer the family suffered the heavier the blow, the He family's property was damaged countless times, the vitality was greatly damaged, and He Qingzhi was not sad, and said: "Qi Sheng, now the disaster is urgent, the minister asks the Holy to send the Ministry of Labor to Yichun, Intensify the construction of embankments to prevent the flood from continuing to spread, hundreds of people's homes have been destroyed, and now it is necessary to mobilize a large number of relief grain to be transported to Yichun County to rescue ......! ”

Fan Yunao also came out and said: "Qi Sheng, what Lord He said is extremely true, the top priority is to urgently build the second or even third embankment to prevent the flood from continuing to spread, and the current situation in Yichun is chaotic, there is a shortage of food, to calm people's hearts, we must first send disaster relief food to Yichun, otherwise if there are people with ill intentions to instigate it, I am afraid that there will be a bigger mess." ”

Susong County is on the territory of the Fan family, and for the benefit of the family, Fan Yunao's opinion this time is surprisingly consistent with He Qingzhi.

The emperor groaned slightly, and then asked Taishi Xiao: "Taishi, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”

This emperor rarely comes up with his own resolutions in the court, and sometimes makes himself appear incompetent, which is not a bad thing, at least it will make many people underestimate you wrongly.

Xiao Taishi said respectfully: "The people's will is important, what Lord He and Master Fan said is good, disaster relief is necessary, and it is even more necessary to stop the flood from continuing to spread...... The Ministry of Industry sent people to Yichun County to treat the disaster and the household grain, which is an urgent matter......! ”

Su Guanya, who rarely speaks in the court, finally came out today, and said calmly: "Holy Lord, the cabinet suddenly got the news of Yichun today, but before that, the minister in the cabinet did not get the slightest news about the possibility of Yichun breaking the embankment, even yesterday, the minister didn't know anything about it......!" He glanced at He Qing, and then said slowly: "So the minister wants to ask, how did the embankment of the Great Changjiang River suddenly burst?" ”

He Qingzhi glanced at Su Guanya coldly, and then said: "Yichun County was originally a torrential rain for half a month, the water potential of the Dachang River was overflowing, the embankment had not been repaired all year round, and it was not stable...... Since the day before yesterday, it was another torrential rain, and in the early hours of yesterday morning, the embankment finally couldn't resist and broke ......! ”

"I see." Su Guanya seemed to be smiling, and his face was calm: "Knowing that the embankment is in danger of breaking at any time, but he didn't make it clear to the imperial court, let alone evacuate the people, after the breach, the disaster was serious, and hundreds of people were killed and injured, who will bear the responsibility for such a crime?" ”

"Lord Su, the officials below, just want to save the court from some trouble, and they can handle the things they can handle by themselves, is this wrong?" He Qingzhi sneered.

When Su Guanya came out at this time, he naturally wanted to reshuffle the officials of Yichun County at this time, and the spearhead was naturally directed at the He family and even the Fan family.

"Handle it yourself?" Su Guanya's elegant face had an indifferent smile: "Such an important matter, if they can handle it well, the imperial court will naturally have nothing to say, but ...... As a result, this is the case, which proves that some officials are arrogant and do their own thing without regard for the safety of the people. If such a serious consequence is not investigated, then officials from all over the country will not report anything to the imperial court in the future, where is the authority of the Holy Heaven, and where is the law of the imperial court? ”

Taishi Xiao coughed and said, "Master Su, the pursuit of responsibility is naturally indispensable, but the top priority is not to hold anyone responsible, but how to fight the flood and provide disaster relief, the priority must be clear." ”

Su Guanya said lightly: "What the Taishi said is extremely true, this primary and secondary naturally needs to be clear, but it is not that the main and secondary need to be followed first, but the primary and secondary need to be carried out at the same time. Yichun flood, flood relief is naturally the top priority, but to appease the people, I don't think it's a trivial matter, right? In order to reassure the people, in addition to releasing disaster relief materials and solving practical difficulties, the most important point is to let the people's grievances be contained. ”

"Resentment?" The emperor stared at Su Guanya and asked, "What kind of resentment?" ”

Su Guanya immediately said respectfully: "Qi Shengshang, as far as the minister knows, Yichun County did not report the danger of the Dachang River embankment, but there is another mystery. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Long's eyebrows furrowed: "Su Aiqing, what's the mystery, you can tell me!" ”

Su Guanya glanced at He Qing, and said slowly: "Qi Shengshang, as far as the minister knows, the terrain of Yichun County is relatively low, except for Wu County, in the territory of my Yan Kingdom, Yichun County is the lowest terrain of the state and county, especially the three counties of Susong, Huangmei and Lanhe. The embankment of Yichun County was reinforced and repaired in the early years, although it was not very strong, but because the terrain was extremely low, it was also widened and heightened as much as possible, if it were not for the strange weather for more than half a month in a row, the embankment should not have burst. However, when the first emperor was there, he also instructed that it would be okay if the Dachangjiang embankment in Yichun County did not break, and once it broke, it would be a catastrophe, so he had made a decree that the yamen under the Ministry of Engineering in Yichun County in charge of the project must pay attention to the safety of the Dachangjiang embankment. ”

The emperor bowed slightly: "My father said this back then, and I remember it." ”

Su Guanya said again: "Heavy rain for more than half a month, the Dachang River is overflowing, and the embankment is in danger of bursting at any time...... The minister did not know that there could be a private report, but the cabinet did not receive a formal excerpt...... Hehe, such a big event, no one reported it, it's really weird. ”

The emperor frowned and asked, "Su Aiqing, you said that there is another mystery in this matter, what is this mystery?" ”

Su Guanya replied: "According to reliable information, the officials of Yichun did not take this matter to the table, but just to open up a new way of wealth!" ”

"A new way to make money?" The emperor was even more puzzled, and the courtiers also whispered, not knowing what the meaning of Su Guanya's words was.

"It's rare for Yichun County to have such a big flood, so the people of Yichun County don't think there will be a big burst." Su Guanya said slowly: "Because of this, they did not estimate the consequences of today, the Dachang River is flooded, endangering the embankment, but they came up with a way, in the name of reinforcing the embankment, to the people of Yichun to add a tax name, and it is a large amount of tax silver, not to mention the ordinary people, as far as I know, some independent small businesses, each household needs to pay one hundred taels of silver, the land of the seven counties of Yichun County, in less than half a month, it is said that more than 100,000 taels of silver have been collected to build the embankment, but this silver is not used in the so-called construction of the embankment, Chen really has some doubts......! ”

He Qingzhi immediately said, "Master Su, where did you hear this rumor?" My hometown is in Yichun County, but I've never heard of it. ”

"Yes, Fan has never heard of this." Fan Yunao also looked at Su Guanya coldly: "Lord Su, I'm afraid that these news are hearsay, right?" Even if taxes are collected, I'm afraid they are other taxes, and they have nothing to do with building dams, right? The saint is wise, and the words of Lord Su are really not thoughtful, and there is even a suspicion of slander, and I hope that the saint will be the master of Yichun officials! ”

The officials of Yichun County, seven or eight out of ten are from the Fan He family, Su Guanya is difficult for Yichun County, Fan Yunao and He Qingzhi naturally have to work together to deal with it.

Su Guanya said calmly: "What I said is true or not, there is no need to argue in the court. He respectfully said to the emperor: "Holy Lord, the minister implores the Holy Majesty to decree that our Ministry of Officials will send investigation officials to Yichun County to conduct a thorough investigation of the relevant issues, and if there are traitorous officials in the traitor department, they must be severely punished, so as to appease the people and prevent the situation from deteriorating." ”

He Qingzhi's expression was cold, and Fan Yunao also frowned, Speaking of which, Su Guanya was going to insert a knife into Yichun County at this extraordinary time.
