When Shen Di entered the palace with three subordinate officials, he was stopped outside the imperial study and could not face the saint. Gonggong Chen stopped outside the door of the imperial study, and did not reveal half a word, only saying that the emperor had an order, and no one was seen.

In the imperial study, Lin Ruo sat opposite Emperor Mingzong and told her that yesterday, her sister Minrou County Lord entrusted her with her dreams, and she learned about the influx of hungry people into Bian'an City. He also asked the abbot master for confirmation of the matter, so he couldn't continue to pray for his mother and sister, and discussed with his uncle about disaster relief.

Fortunately, Fenghuaxue has raised tens of thousands of stone grains before, and the masters of Ci'en Temple often do good deeds in the surrounding area, and are very familiar with the surrounding situation.

Therefore, with the cooperation of the Lin family and the Temple of Mercy and Grace, 64 soup kitchens were set up. Lin Ruo was worried that the displaced people would experience floods and difficulties along the way, and would be very susceptible to diseases, which would bring the source of the epidemic to the people of Bian'an City, so he opened 16 more free clinics and mobilized various medicinal materials for emergencies.

After telling the story, Lin Ruo pleaded guilty to Emperor Mingzong, saying that the matter of Xiangxuehai was that the Lin family was careless and did not know the flood situation, which caused the household to purchase insufficient grain. On behalf of her uncle, she donated 50,000 stone of grain to the imperial court and sent it to Shangyu to relieve the victims. The remaining 10,000 stone of grain was used to settle the victims of Bian'an City.

Speaking of deep love, Lin Ruo felt sad in his heart, knelt in front of Emperor Mingzong, and burst into tears.

Emperor Mingzong stepped down from the dragon chair, helped her up, and comforted: "Minhui, you have done me a great favor, what is the crime?" It's just 64 porridge shops and 16 free clinics, how can there be enough manpower? ”

Lin Ruo lowered his head and whispered: "The manpower of the soup kitchen, except for the Lin family and the guys in the shop, I went to Bo Yu for help; As for the doctors and helpers at the free clinic, I asked Dr. Liu......"

As he spoke, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, as if he was afraid that Emperor Mingzong would be angry.

"You...... Why didn't you tell me earlier? What kind of system does a girl's family have a marriage contract with and runs to a man's house? ”

Minhui is also in a hurry...... And I didn't go to the Jingping Marquis Mansion, I asked someone to inform Su Shizi. The disaster was urgent, and Minhui thought that the emperor must be very busy and did not dare to cause chaos to the emperor. The emperor and the imperial grandmother are kind to the Lin family, and they treat Minhui like a daughter, Minhui and her uncle want to arrange it properly, and then report to the emperor and help the emperor share his worries. ”

Emperor Mingzong touched her head dotingly, and sighed with some emotion: "You are very similar to your mother, just as kind and as smart." If all the courtiers were like you and your uncle, then I would have little sorrow......"

"The emperor has raised Minhui."

Emperor Mingzong smiled kindly, nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to the imperial case, took a bright yellow holy decree, solemnly printed the jade seal, and then shouted outside the door: "Chen Guan! ”

"The old slave is here!"

In response, Gonggong Chen pushed the door in, nodded knowingly at Shen Di, who was winking at him, and entered the imperial study, and saluted: "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

Emperor Mingzong groaned slightly, handed over the holy decree to Lin Ruo, and then said to Chen Gonggong: "You accompany the lord of Minhui to go to the household department, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment and the Jingzhao Mansion to announce the decree, and send people to the Lin family's disaster relief point outside the city to help the Lin family settle the victims." Everything must be subject to the arrangements of the abbot of Ci'en Temple and the lord of Minhui, and there must be no mistakes. If anyone does not obey the command, regardless of the size of the official position, he will directly let the city defense army take it and put him in the prison of the criminal department. ”

"The old slave obeys."

"Minhui thanked the emperor."

"As for the matter of sending grain to Shangyu, Chen Guan, after you pass the decree, go and invite Prince Rong to enter the palace, let him choose one or two deputy generals, and go to the Tiger Ben army to pick a team to escort the grain to Shangyu."

After that, he looked at Lin Ruo and smiled. Lin Ruo immediately said: "The emperor is wise. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Shen, the head of the household department, is waiting outside the imperial study."

Emperor Mingzong frowned imperceptibly: "What is he here for?" Shouldn't we give alms at the gates of the city? ”

Gonggong Chen nodded, hung his head without squinting, and replied respectfully: "Lord Shen heard that the Lin family was giving porridge for free treatment outside the city, so I came to report the situation and ask the emperor to decide." ”

"Decided?" Emperor Mingzong slammed the porcelain cup next to him on the table, "Hmph, he still has the kung fu to come here to invite merit?" Let him hurry back and resettle the victims! If this matter is not handled well, don't come to see me again! ”

"Yes!"

Gonggong Chen immediately received the order and took Lin Ruo out of the imperial study.

Shen Di saw Lin Ruo coming out of the imperial study, and he frowned. He had just heard the sound of cups and Emperor Mingzong's angry rebuke from inside, and he was even more uneasy at the moment.

Gonggong Chen stepped forward and arched his hand at Shen Di: "Lord Shen, you should have heard the emperor's words, right?" The emperor is worried enough about this disaster now, so you should help the emperor share his worries first. The old slave is going to accompany the county lord to announce the decree and retire. ”

Shen Di replied: "Gonggong Chen walks slowly, and the county lord walks slowly." ”

Lin Ruo listened to the four indignant words that Shen Di squeezed out from between his teeth, he didn't care, nodded and saluted, and left with Gonggong Chen.

When the two of them walked away, Shen Di smacked at the backs of the two of them, and cursed in a low voice: "If you didn't send the grain and grass out earlier, pretend to be generous now!" ”

The subordinate officials hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Shangshu, let's go back first......

"Let's go!"

Shen Di flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

He was annoyed that the Lin family deliberately embarrassed him, but he was also afraid of the emperor's guilt, so he didn't dare to slack off and turned back.

After borrowing people from Gobu and Jingzhao Mansion, the entire project of settling the victims of the disaster seemed much easier. The city defense army received the order and waited for it, not letting go of the small people who took advantage of the chaos to do evil. According to the instructions of Lin Ruo and Abbot Chengguan, maintain order among the victims, and settle the old and weak women and children first. deliberately making trouble, Leng Shu and the warrior monks of Ci'en Temple can also help take people.

The masters in the temple already had some deterrent effect among the people, and besides, the Lin family's soup kitchens and free clinics were numerous, and the disaster victims who had originally gathered at the four gates and two points of Bian'an City were scattered to ten points, and everything seemed to be much more orderly. Moreover, under the inspiration of the Lin family and the masters of Ci'en Temple, some able-bodied young people, after eating and drinking enough, began to help distribute food and medicinal herbs together, and take care of other disaster victims, and they were all happy. Even Su Muyu restrained his appearance of being a hanger, teasing the crying refugee children from time to time, or helping the doctor of the free clinic to make medicine.

The men and horses supported by the Five Divisions and Jingzhao Mansion were basically used to carry supplies. There is no way, few of these high-ranking and organized soldiers are kind to Baixin. But they can only obey Lin Ruo's orders - there is the emperor's holy decree pressing! Moreover, the bright scalpel of Su Shizi of the Marquis of Jingping Mansion has seen blood.

Gonggong Chen accompanied Lin Ruo to announce his decree, and rushed to King Rong's mansion to find Prince Rong, but he pounced; rushed to the military headquarters, and also pounced. I heard that he had already taken the royal family's soldiers and brothers from the military department to the outside of the city to help the Lin family with disaster relief!

had to drag a handful of old bones and run outside the city to look for them, just in time to meet Xu Zhan who turned back.

Xu Zhan is Murong Chong's deputy general, and he has always been charging by Murong Chong's side and is quite trusted. Murong Chong had learned of Emperor Mingzong's will from Lin Ruo's mouth, so he asked Xu Zhan to go to the palace to receive orders and send grain to Shangyu.

happened to meet Chen's father-in-law, and the two entered the palace together to restore their lives.
