Chapter 120: Gray hair overnight
Mobile reading
Receiving such news, the emperor was furious. He had been issuing the decree for more than two months, and when the heavy rain came, no one had taken precautions.
On this night, the emperor suddenly aged ten years. A man in his thirties, who was remembered by the news one by one, was almost like an old man in his fifties. That night, the emperor sat in the imperial study all night, and all that flashed in his mind were those who presented the disaster. In the end, there was only one thought left, and that was that the big moon was going to die in the sky.
The next day, when the great eunuch came in, he saw the emperor sitting at the end of the dragon case, with silver-white hair hanging messily on both sides.
The big eunuch was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a 'poof', "Your Majesty!" The trembling voice could be heard, how frightened he was, and the emperor could hear the distress mixed with it.
This eunuch was chosen by his mother when he was a child, and he has been serving by his side since he was a child. Although he was a eunuch, he was already an indispensable part of the emperor's side. It is conceivable how deep the relationship between the two is.
"Xiao Dezi, you say, is it that I didn't do a good job, so the heavens can't look past it, and you want to destroy my big moon?" The Emperor's hoarse voice rang out. Hearing this, the eyes of the great eunuch Father-in-law De were hot, and tears could no longer hold back their tears.
Where is this still the emperor who he has grown up with since he was a child and has always been full of confidence? It's just that I can't say anything about comforting words. After coming down yesterday morning, the emperor locked himself in the imperial study, didn't eat lunch or dinner, and didn't even drink a sip of water!
Finally, the emperor closed his eyes, which had been open all night, and he was so astringent that he almost shed tears. It's just that as the head of a country, I have been taught not to be weak since I was a child. Even in front of those closest to you, you can't show your most vulnerable side.
He raised his hand and said, "Get up!" After seeing Father-in-law De get up, he said again: "Little Dezi, come and change my clothes." ”
Duke De got the order and stepped forward to take care of the emperor's appearance. It's just that when the comb combed the originally long blue hair, tears couldn't help but flow down again: "Your Majesty, why are you suffering?" ”
The Emperor just waved at him and said nothing. But Father-in-law De knew that he was uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything more, but just pulled up his long hair for the emperor and put on a crown that symbolized his status.
In the main hall, it has now become a pot of porridge. When the emperor came in, he saw such a scene. I saw a sharp voice from the eunuch sound: "The emperor has arrived!" Only then did some people stop and salute: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
After the emperor sat on the dragon chair, he raised his hand and said, "Calm down!" ”
Only then did all the ministers thank them and stand up, but this look up startled them. What's going on with the silver wire on the emperor's side?
The emperor pretended not to see their strange eyes, and just said lightly: "Zhong Aiqing, what do you think about the flood? ”
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, someone below rushed out to answer this question. It was Feng Chuanzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who spoke: "Back to the emperor, this natural disaster has caused the current situation, and the ministers are deeply distressed. It's just that the heartache is so painful that the crimes of the prefects in various places will be decided. The manpower and material resources prepared by the ministers had already been arranged a month ago, and the prefects in various places were not in a good position, and when the flood came, they failed to take preventive measures! ”
Yes, if you don't come, you won't come, and as soon as you come, there will be a person who shirks responsibility. The Emperor was disappointed. I don't know if something happened, everyone is competing for merit. Now that something has happened, I am afraid that I will not run fast one by one, and the responsibility will find me.
At this time, General Luo, who looked indignant, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to hold accountable, but to think about how to appease the people and save those affected by the disaster." "General Luo is a soldier, and the concept of a soldier is to change when he knows his mistakes, take it as his responsibility to defend his family and country, and shirk his responsibility or something, then he will be dealt with by military law.
Even the adults stood up and arched their hands towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, General Luo is right. Now is not the time to hold anyone accountable, and the most important thing is to do a good job in disaster relief first. As for who is responsible, it will not be too late for us to pursue the disaster relief after the disaster relief is over. ”
The general of the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Benluo, and Lord Lian blushed when they talked to each other.
At this time, someone stood up and spoke. "Your Majesty, if these moths are not removed, how can the people feel at ease?" ”
"That's it!"
“……”
The emperor looked at his courtiers, in their hearts, the lives of the people should be like mustard!
When the first emperor was in power, he often whispered orders in his ear, saying that he should be a good emperor and put the affairs of the people first. So the water can carry the boat or capsize the boat, he didn't understand what was going on before, but now he does.
If the whole world does not support him, who will he be the emperor?
In the end, the emperor had a headache because he didn't sleep all night last night, and he was so noisy by them today. Let Gonggong De drink everyone back, go back to find a way, and enter the palace before tonight to offer a plan.
When the ministers saw the emperor's mental outlook today, their hearts were also tight. This emperor was fine yesterday, but today he has become like this, you can imagine, what did he experience last night?
After the ministers left, Gonggong De came out and whispered to General Luo: "General, the emperor is waiting for you in the imperial study!" ”
General Luo followed the steps of Gonggong De and went to the imperial study, and when he saw the silver-haired man, he frowned and sat behind the dragon case. General Luo is a little older than the emperor, but when he was young, the two were still good friends.
Seeing him like this now, General Luo felt uncomfortable. The emperor is a Ming monarch, but there are some things, he is personally more pedantic.
stepped forward: "The minister sees the emperor!" ”
When the emperor saw that the person kneeling below was General Luo, he raised his hand and said, "Get up!" There are no outsiders here, so find your own place to sit down! ”
For this general, he doesn't have the idea that those emperors will have, because he knows him very well, and he doesn't have that desire, let alone that ambition. The reason why he came back to meet and talk about flood prevention and disaster relief was also for the good of the people.
After seeing General Luo sit down, the emperor spoke: "Zirui, the opinion on flood prevention and disaster relief was put forward by you. But you didn't come up with it, did you? "It is said that to understand a person, you must know even what he can think of. The emperor's understanding of General Luo included all the things he could think of.
General Luo's old face turned red and said, "Your Majesty, you know it, why bother exposing it, it makes the ministers lose face!" ”
