Chapter 337: The Townspeople
After Wei Zhong saluted Bai Qing, he retreated behind Mama Jiang in a proper manner.
She looked at Wei Zhong, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and knew that her grandmother was asking Wei Zhong to show his ability, so that she could accept Wei Zhong.
"Father-in-law Wei is very useful, and if you stay with your grandmother to take care of your grandmother in the future, we can rest assured when we return to Shuoyang." Bai Qingyan said.
Mama Jiang's lips moved, and before the eldest princess could say anything to Bai Qingyan, she was blocked by Bai Qingyan first, and Mama Jiang could only take Wei Zhong and leave.
"Eldest sister......" Bai Jinzhi was a little puzzled, and looked sideways at Bai Qingyan, "The news sent by the second sister is not as detailed as that Wei Zhongcha, since this person is so useful, why doesn't the eldest sister keep it?" ”
"There is an old saying, called loyal ministers do not matter the two masters, Wei Zhong...... is a loyal one, and it must be used if it is placed around me, but I am afraid that it will be hindered at the critical moment, and it is better not to leave a variable around me. Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup and slowly blew the undulating buds in the cup.
And Xiao Qi Bai Jinse still has to stay with his grandmother, with such a person as Wei Zhong, Xiao Qi can be regarded as someone available.
Bai Qingyan didn't want Bai Jinse to threaten the Lin family, she was by her grandmother's side...... It's safe.
At this time, what she was most worried about was the great famine in Yanwo.
In her previous life, she had never heard of it.
Pingyang, Guangling, Luohong, Hushui, and the four prefecture orders came to report at the same time, which shows how far the disaster has become, and the people who starved to death do not know how much it is.
The most urgent thing now is disaster relief.
However, it is difficult to determine the choice of disaster relief candidates, such a large disaster situation is very prone to civil unrest, and the slightest carelessness in taking care of disaster relief will be a catastrophe, and it is definitely not a beautiful difference.
In the palace, the emperor pressed his head with an ice handkerchief, listening to the people below report the disaster of Yanwo, his eyes with a headache couldn't be opened, and his chest rose and fell violently with anger.
"From the end of last year to this year, there is no single day of peace! No one lives in peace! The emperor threw down the ice handkerchief in his hand and stood up angrily, "I actually concealed the disaster in order to be promoted!" It's just disgusting! Kill! Give me the execution of Min Zhongsheng Lingchi! ”
Chu Zhongxing, the head of the household, stepped forward and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the top priority is disaster relief, and Your Majesty still needs to set a candidate for disaster relief. ”
The prince only nodded, but he did not step forward to take over the disaster relief.
This relief effort is unlike anything in previous years...... It's a fat difference.
Now the famine in Yanwo is too big, and the displaced people are spreading, which is a disaster relief...... It is also a townsman, who needs to be very cautious and proper in his proportions, and if he is not careful...... It will provoke a popular uprising, and the prince will not dare to take this responsibility.
"Father, the son thinks ...... You can let Uncle Sanhuang try it. The crown prince lowered his voice and spoke to the emperor, "Uncle Sanhuang has always been honest and benevolent, and this time the people will do their best to provide disaster relief and prevent others from having the opportunity to be greedy and deductible." ”
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, but Weichen is foolish...... If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can personally go to the disaster relief this time, it will definitely be able to cheer up the people. Chu Zhongxing said this, and suddenly changed his words, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, and the disaster is too big this time, if there is a slight inadvertent change in the people, I am afraid that it will endanger the safety of His Highness." ”
The prince's heart jumped violently, and he hurriedly said to the emperor: "Erchen is not afraid of endangering his own safety, but Erchen has no experience in disaster relief, this disaster is serious, and Erchen is afraid that he will not be able to catch it!" Erchen thought that it would be safe to send someone with disaster relief experience to take charge of it. As Chu Shangshu said, having the royal family go will definitely make the people excited, and the sons are willing to help the people who are in charge of disaster relief matters to go together to share the worries of their father. ”
The prince's words not only expressed his loyalty to the emperor who was willing to risk danger for the emperor, but also said that he had no experience in disaster relief, and he could only be an ornament when he went, so even if something happened in the end, he couldn't blame him, which was really smart.
But the emperor ate this, he sat down on the chair, but the ice handkerchief handed by Gao Demao was pressed on his head, and he closed his eyes and said: "The prince is the prince of the country, the cornerstone of the country, and he can't be in danger!" ”
Chu Zhongxing pondered for a moment and said: "Weichen has a few candidates for disaster relief, but since the Holy Lord ascended the throne, there have rarely been such big natural disasters, and I am afraid of ...... It's hard to be perfect. ”
In the past 20 years, the biggest natural disaster was the Jiaozhou epidemic, which was ...... Bai Qishan personally provided disaster relief and took the Bai family army to seal Jiaozhou, Bai Suqiu asked for his life to enter the city, the epidemic in Jiaozhou eased, and the people recovered, but Bai Suqiu stayed in Jiaozhou forever.
The emperor's eyes suddenly became sour, and his originally angry mood turned into pathos, he closed his eyes and said: "There is a huge Great Jin court, can't you choose a capable person to relieve the disaster?" ”
Originally, the people who were in charge of disaster relief could have waited for tomorrow morning to discuss it, but now that the disaster is urgent, it will be delayed for a few more moments...... There is more possibility of change.
The crown prince suddenly thought of King Liang, King Xin had been abolished, and now the emperor was an adult prince except for him.
"Father, in addition to the people who need to take charge of disaster relief, this disaster relief also needs the people of the royal family to suppress the formation, since the sons and daughters can't go, I am willing to recommend one person to my father, and please don't be angry." The crown prince pondered and slowly spoke, "King Liang's previous intention to frame the king of Zhen hurt his father's heart, but in the end, King Liang was also deceived by the people below, and now he has been locked up in the palace to reflect on himself, and his father's birthday is also concerned, and he also asked his father to give King Liang a chance to redeem himself, so that King Liang can make meritorious contributions." ”
The emperor looked sideways at the prince who was kneeling on the ground to intercede for King Liang, and before he had time to think about it, the head of the household department had already agreed: "What the prince said is reasonable, His Royal Highness King Liang is the son of His Majesty, and he can inspire the people more than the third prince." ”
Gao Demao stepped forward to change an ice veil for the emperor, and the emperor frowned and nodded: "Then set a King of Liang, the person in charge?" Who is suitable? ”
"The person in charge of disaster relief, Weichen thinks that it is necessary to have a military force, and the military general will lead the troops to deter, and General Zhang Duanrui has now led the troops to the Spring Twilight Mountain, so General Shi Panshan, who has made meritorious contributions in the battle of southern Xinjiang, is more suitable! As for the text...... You can choose from among the courtiers who have been in charge of disaster relief in recent years and have done a good job. Chu Zhongxing clenched his fists, lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "Weichen thought...... The son of the left phase, Li Mingrui is available. ”
The emperor had a splitting headache and waved his hand: "That's it!" Gao Demao ...... Go to the order! Call the autumn nobles over! ”
During these days, the emperor had frequent headaches, and the imperial doctor prescribed a bunch of medicines that did not work, and only the autumn nobles came to give the emperor a massage to soothe a little.
The prince breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this errand didn't fall on his head, anyone could do it.
Soon, the Emperor's will was made clear.
