At the end of the summer of the fifteenth year of the Great Xia Xining.

The earth of Shu moved, the earth dragon was born, countless houses collapsed, the people were displaced, and the mourning was everywhere.

When the news reached Jingshi, the government and the opposition were shaken.

"At present, it is roughly estimated that there are more than tens of thousands of dead and wounded." Jiang Wuji frowned, reported a number, his voice landed, and the whole dynasty exclaimed.

"I'm afraid you and I have angered the heavens?" A civil servant's face was full of panic.

Huo Gang glanced at him, "The top priority is how to resettle the victims?" When will the repairs take place? He paused suddenly, and didn't say any more, Emperor Xining's face was not very good.

Ji Yuan was also worried, "You should also pay attention to other things, after the earth shakes, it is easy to cause a major epidemic, how to prevent and control it?" How will the wounded be treated this time? Who will organize the dispatch of the officials in Shudi? ”

Jiang Wuji pleaded, "Your Majesty, the Jiang family has lived in Shu for generations, and no one is more familiar with Shu affairs than the minister, and the minister implores ......."

Emperor Xining suddenly interrupted, "You don't have to go, stay in Kyoto to accompany the Queen Mother." ”

Jiang Wuji's throat stalked. Everyone knows in their hearts that Your Majesty is jealous of the Jiang family's reputation and power.

"Zhong Aiqing, can you have a suitable candidate to recommend?" Emperor Xining asked, but no one answered.

The ministers didn't want to touch the emperor's moldy head in vain, and they couldn't get a good fruit to eat.

The more times like this, the more bold you are to stand up and suggest.

"Weichen thinks that the customs of the people of Shu are not as good as civilization, so it is not appropriate to rashly choose people to go, and they are not familiar with Shu...... It is better for each local government to report according to the seriousness of the disaster, and the imperial court will allocate disaster relief funds according to the serious situation. ”

It was Chu Guogong who stepped forward to block the muzzle, he probably also knew Emperor Xining's thoughts, and he didn't want Jiang Wuji to return to Shu again, but the people who were most familiar with Shu were the Jiang family.

He is not a fool, he recommends his family to go to that uncivilized land, and if he can't do well, he will eat and hang, and he will lose money. He also wanted to recommend the prince's people to ...... Forget it, this hot potato, you might as well ask the officials of Shu to follow it themselves.

"There is no such precedent in the DPRK and China." An imperial historian retorted.

Without the Minister of Disaster Relief, the following things will be a mess, and if something really happens, who will take care of it? Who will carry this black cauldron?

To put it mildly, when the time comes, the disaster relief will really be ineffective, and they will concentrate their firepower to scare one person.

When the time comes, each will have its own difference, and I'm afraid it will have to be written until next year.

"Eh, it's a special matter, the situation in Shu is different, and it will be very troublesome to transport the materials in." Marquis Zhongjing frowned and retorted.

"According to what Marquis Zhongjing said, if the disaster relief is not effective at that time, who should be to blame?"

A royal historian sneered at each other.

"This, find out who it is, isn't it okay?" Marquis Zhongjing paused for a moment, and then replied.

"Shu is thousands of miles away from the capital, no one supervises and supervises, and controls the overall situation, is the Marquis of Zhongjing able to reach the sky with his hands and eyes or what? Those little minions made mistakes and pickled them out one by one, and the local people didn't know how much they had suffered! ”

Several imperial historians worked together to make the Duke of Chu and the Marquis of Zhongjing speechless for a while. They felt that they had the upper hand, and they couldn't help but be proud and hold their heads high.

Emperor Xining was annoyed by their quarrel.

"Above the court, what do you think this is? Noisy and unorthodox. ”

"Your Majesty forgives you."

"You say it's not good, that's not good, why don't you come up with a way?"

"......" The ministers looked at each other.

"What are they doing as saw-billed gourds?" Emperor Xining scoffed.

"Your Majesty forgives you."

"Forgive your sins, forgive your sins, what else would you say besides that?"

Emperor Xining was unprovoked and manic, and the ministers were terrified.

He also seemed to suddenly notice that his emotions were a little out of control, and leaned back in the dragon chair, calming down.

The bead curtain not only blocked the view of the ministers, but also blocked the eyes of Emperor Xining.

"Prince, what do you think?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "The minister thinks that the role of the Minister of Disaster Relief is very important, and it is really indispensable to be able to be responsible for the Son of Heaven and coordinate officials below." ”

"Then who do you think can take on this great responsibility in this Manchu Dynasty?"

"If you talk about qualifications, it should be Lord Jiang'......"

"Alright." Emperor Xining interrupted him unhappily, the Jiang family had been operating in Shu for several generations, and finally transferred to the capital, how could he let the tiger return to the mountain.

Ji Yuan was helpless and didn't say anything for the time being.

Huo Gang came out to be a peacemaker. "Your Majesty, it is imperative to appease the people."

"According to you, how to appease?"

Huo Gang pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty should issue an edict for your own offense!" ”

Emperor Xining had a headache, he looked unpredictable behind the bead curtain, and no one dared to speak for a while.

If the Son of Heaven is willing to issue an edict to the world and announce it to the world, it is undoubtedly a good practice to calm the people's hearts.

There was silence for a long time.

"I will naturally issue an edict to the world."

Some people breathed a sigh of relief silently, afraid of His Majesty's whim.

Our majesty has an excellent reputation, and there is nothing wrong with this, I am afraid that Long Wei will use the wrong place and be a courtier, and it will be difficult.

"You also have to come up with a charter for me, who will take on this disaster relief mission?"

In the Golden Palace, you look at me, I look at you, except for Jiang Wuji, who had just asked for help but was rejected, no one spoke.

There is oil and water fishing for disaster relief, and it is true that I want to go. But the oil and water in this Shu land is really not easy to fish, and the place is too bitter.

The prince watched, the Jiang family watched, and there was a supervising imperial history like a mad dog, where there was a smell of meat, he would drill wherever he went, and he felt that it was thankless, and there were many people who didn't want to go.

"The minister is willing to go." Ji Yuan was silent for a few seconds and stepped forward to ask for help.

Emperor Xining waved his hand, "You are the crown prince, and it is not appropriate to do so." Flutter rejected him.

In fact, Emperor Xining had two plans in his heart.

First, the prince wanted to do Jiangnan affairs for him, and as soon as he went to relieve the disaster, Jiangnan was delayed, and Emperor Xining was unwilling.

The second is that the power of the crown prince has made Emperor Xining a little jealous, this throne, I am willing to give it to you, help you to ascend the throne, and your strength is too great, forcing me to abdicate The feeling is completely different.

Emperor Xining didn't want to be a faint king who killed his son, and he didn't want his son to become a sinner who killed his father. Mutual restraint is the way for the emperor and the crown prince to get along.

Ji Yuan did it, Emperor Xining knew that he could do a good job, but it would also allow him to gain too much fame and popular support, not good, really bad.

He didn't want Jiang Wuji to go, and he didn't want Ji Yuan to go, he didn't have a suitable candidate in his heart, except for the two of them, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military didn't want to go, and he actually didn't worry about letting them go.

For a while, it was a stalemate.

"Retreat from the dynasty, I will think again." Emperor Xining waved his hand.

The bead curtain moved slightly, and Emperor Xining had already left.

Some courtiers sighed silently in their hearts, the disaster is like fire, Your Majesty is like this, so that the people are innocently guilty.

"Your Majesty......" Liu Zhen carefully put the blanket on Emperor Xining's body in Xiaomei.

still woke up Emperor Xining.

"Huo Gang is here?"

"Just arrived." Liu Zhen stepped forward to help him put on his shoes and socks.

"Hmm."

Huo Gang, the left minister, entered the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures.
