After Zhang Youtao checked all the beggars, Xiao Liuzi rode over on horseback.

"That's exactly what you're going to need." Zhang Youtao looked at him with shiny eyes.

Xiao Liuzi chuckled at her, "So, I'm quite useful, by the way, the sixth prince sent a guard in the house, that side is very safe now, our family's granary has been dug up, the grain is fine, and there will be guards to send a cart of grain first." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Youtao couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "It's too tacit, that's what I'm going to say, and one more thing, one-third of the people here are injured and can't move, two-thirds are fine, I want you to take a moving man to build a shed here, just be able to shelter from the wind and rain, who knows if it will rain at night, move quickly." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away, and you have to be careful yourself." Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but repeat the instructions a few times.

There's no way, who let Zhang Youtao always get hurt, this will be such a mess, it's too late to regret something, thinking of this little Liuzi faintly regretting it, he should bring two guards to protect Zhang Youtao.

Zhang Youtao waved her hand indifferently, "Go get busy, solve this place as soon as possible, maybe there will be more trouble tomorrow." ”

With that, she turned and entered the crowd, letting some of the people who remained here take care of the wounded, and some of them followed her to clear the clearing and build the stove.

Time passed very quickly, and before I knew it, three days had passed.

When Jiang Yiling appeared in front of Zhang Youtao again, Zhang Youtao almost didn't recognize him, "Why are you so embarrassed?" ”

"I'm sorry I couldn't marry you on time." Jiang Yiling grabbed Zhang Youtao's outstretched hand and pressed it directly on his cheek, his eyebrows and eyes full of guilt.

"It's okay, natural and man-made disasters, you don't want to." Although tired, Zhang Youtao still smiled at him soothingly.

At a glance, I knew that Jiang Yiling had not had a good time in the past few days, not to mention his beard, and the corners of his clothes were still dusty.

"Is everything okay at home?" Jiang Yiling looked around, didn't see Butcher Zhang and Zhang Boning, and couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Youtao nodded, with a helpless smile on her face, "It's all good, Dad will go to the countryside with Bai Ning, the old man just doesn't worry about that, and he won't let him go back." ”

Jiang Yiling couldn't help frowning, "At this time, it's not safe to go back." ”

"It's okay, bring back a lot of people, you may not know, I hired a lot of beggars for food and shelter, but they have to work for me, and then, after the reconstruction, I will see if I can give them a home, no, I will do my best, let them survive this catastrophe."

Zhang Youtao shook her head as she spoke, "Anyway, I'm right about my conscience." ”

"You've done a good job." Jiang Yiling gently hugged her shoulders, now everyone is only concerned about self-preservation, that is, her, and she is still in the mood to help others.

"I also think I've done a good job, by the way, you can also use my method for post-disaster reconstruction, encourage everyone to participate together, you don't need any substantial rewards at all, you just tell the emperor, pick two for the entire plaque, what loyal ministers and good generals, to ensure that a large group of people take the bait." Zhang Youtao raised her eyebrows and said with a wicked smile.

Jiang Yiling blinked, this trick is really good, "Why is the emperor's ink treasure so good in your mouth." ”

Zhang Youtao laughed evilly, "You can get such a big benefit with a pen, why don't you do it, is the treasury very full?" That's when I didn't say it. ”

"Well, you're too smart." Jiang Yiling patted Zhang Youtao's head, "Are you done with this?" Come with me to the palace, my father wants you to show it, and I want you to see my mother. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll explain and we'll go." After Zhang Youtao finished speaking, she found Xiao Liuzi, said what she was going to do, and told her what to do next, and then left with Jiang Yiling.

Probably because the palace building is relatively special, along the way, Zhang Youtao found that most of the palace did not collapse, but there were varying degrees of damage.

But the situation that day was too chaotic, and it can be seen that the eunuchs and palace maids who went back and forth were all injured to varying degrees.

"Do any of these people in the palace have a fever or a cold?" After seeing a lot of wizened slaves, Zhang Youtao couldn't help but pull Jiang Yiling and asked in a whisper.

Jiang Yiling frowned and thought about it, "There shouldn't be any for the time being, maybe it's not too serious, I haven't heard any relevant news." ”

Zhang Youtao couldn't help but worry, "Remember to ask the imperial doctor to pay attention to all the checks, after this kind of disaster, it is easy to have problems......"

"Okay, I'll let the Imperial Doctor pay attention." Jiang Yiling nodded in response.

The two of them went all the way to the outside of the imperial study, and before they could call someone in to report, they heard the angry roar of the emperor inside, "It's all waste, you can't even choose a person to help the disaster, and everything raised by the court is actually waste." ”

This anger value is too high, Zhang Youtao quietly shrunk her neck, and instantly cheered up her spirit, for fear that she would cause trouble by saying the wrong thing for a while.

But the emperor did not let Zhang Youtao go in directly, but asked Jiang Yiling to go in, and after Zhang Youtao stood outside for a while, Gonggong Gao came out and took her through the side door into the inner hall of the imperial study. Bayi Chinese Network

Through a screen, Zhang Youtao could clearly hear the conversation in the imperial study, and after Gonggong Gao saluted her, he went out and continued to stand beside the emperor to serve.

"I'll be here today, and I'll spend a disaster relief person coming out, otherwise I won't go home." The Emperor slapped the table and roared angrily.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and Jiang Yiling's voice suddenly sounded, "Father, the son is willing to go." ”

Zhang Youtao's hand clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, and her heart suddenly lifted.

Before the emperor could speak, an urgent report suddenly came in, "Your Majesty, Lingzhou urgently, the plague in Lingzhou City has become a dead city, and there are still 3,000 victims besieged by the army on the outskirts of Lingzhou City." ”

This caused panic among the courtiers.

"Plague, it's a plague, what can I do?"

"The plague is contagious, and all those victims should be disposed of so that it doesn't spread to more people."

……

Everything you say and I say is all cold words, and the selfishness and despicability of human nature are vividly displayed at this moment.

Until the emperor threw the inkstone in his hand violently, this loud bang finally made these people realize that this was in the imperial study, and if they were not careful, they would lose their heads.

"Say, go on, and then you are going to say that there will be people with plague in this king's capital? Do you have the plague and you have to kill me, so as not to threaten your life? The emperor looked at the ministers below expressionlessly, with a trace of exhaustion and sadness between his eyebrows.

"I have been on the throne for twenty-five years, and I have always thought that under my notice, this world is not to say that the country is peaceful and peaceful, but it can also be regarded as one and the same, as a result, you are all powerful enough, so many people, kill if you say kill, you are more rampant than me, the emperor." The emperor said and slapped the table hard.

The courtiers present fell to their knees and shouted for the emperor's forgiveness.

Zhang Youtao's mood was a little complicated, it turned out that she had been guarding against the emperor, but now it seems that no matter how suspicious he is usually, at the critical moment, he is really a good emperor.

"Father, the sons are willing to share the worries of their fathers, and the sons are willing to take the imperial doctor to the disaster area immediately, if the plague is not eliminated, the sons will never return to the court." Jiang Yiling said sonorously.

The emperor looked at Jiang Yiling with complicated eyes, this was once the son he didn't care about the most, and he could even be regarded as disgusted, but he was the only one who would stand up in this situation.

Zhang Youtao shook her hand and hesitated, but she still walked out around the screen, and the minister couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment when he saw a woman appearing here.

Zhang Youtao ignored other people's thoughts, knelt in front of the emperor with self-care, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the people's daughters have trespassed, and I ask the emperor to allow the people's daughters to go to the disaster area to treat the refugees." ”

The emperor was also taken aback by her sudden action, and after reacting, he couldn't help but ask, "That's the plague, aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid." Zhang Youtao said bluntly, "But the Minnu knows that if these people are not cured, it will be a disaster, although I dare not say that I can be optimistic about any disease, but the Minnu feels that there is a 60% chance that she will take everyone to survive together." ”

"If I remember correctly, the day of your wedding with Yiling has passed, and you ......" The emperor pressed his eyebrows as if he was tired.

Talking about marriage in the court, is this really good, Zhang Youtao slandered in her heart, but she smiled awkwardly on her face, "Your Majesty, this is nothing, in front of major national affairs, children's private affairs are all small things." ”

"It's really not easy for a girl to have such an idea." The emperor sighed with emotion, "Women can still be like this, you people, go back and reflect on it." ”

The ministers wanted to say something, but after looking at each other, they honestly closed their mouths and withdrew.

Soon there were only three people left in the imperial study, including the emperor, Zhang Youtao and Jiang Yiling, and Zhang Youtao knelt there with her head down and was silent.

The emperor chuckled uncertainly, "Just now so bold, this is honest?" ”

Jiang Yiling looked at Zhang Youtao with a complicated expression, and didn't care that the emperor was watching from the side, "Zhang Youtao, what do you think, don't you know how dangerous this is?" ”

"I know, but it's useless for you to go, I'll go to work." Zhang Youtao looked at Jiang Yiling with an innocent face.

Jiang Yiling, who was pretending to be stupid, had itchy teeth, he really wanted to pry open this woman's head and see what she was thinking.

"Okay, don't sulk there, young peach, come and give me a pulse, this age is getting older, and my spirit is getting worse and worse." The emperor sighed heavily.

I don't know if it's the influence of indoor light or the emperor is really old, Zhang Youtao actually saw the feeling of powerlessness from his face.
