Chapter 561: Urgent
The lamp was already in the imperial study, and Emperor Jingming frowned and looked at the fold.
It was rainy in May, and the recent floods in various places were frequent, and the ground movement in Qianhe County was even more concerned about his heart.
Manpower, disaster relief silver, and other material resources continued to flow to all parts of the disaster, and he saw that the treasury was empty at a frightening rate.
Anxiety and depression are the main moods of Emperor Jingming these days.
If you put it in the corner and forget to pick it up, the notebook is already dusty.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Emperor Jingming raised his eyes and glanced at Pan Hai.
Pan Hai immediately retreated gently, and walked in quickly with an urgent report in his hand.
"Where's the recital?" Emperor Jingming asked.
Pan Hai glanced at the envelope and replied, "...... over there in Qianhe County"
Emperor Jingming put down the fold in his hand: "Take it." β
Qianhe County's recital has recently appeared on his dragon case every morning, which can be regarded as a rule, and he has already read today's recital, why is there another recital at night?
Based on experience, Emperor Jingming is not expected to be a good thing.
After receiving the report from Qianhe County, Emperor Jingming slowly opened it, and hurriedly swept to the content of the ground movement in Koi Town, Qianhe County, and his hand trembled when he landed, and he hurriedly looked down.
The urgent report is concise and concise, and the content is very short, and Emperor Jingming quickly read it.
After reading it, he was a little dazed.
Seeing Emperor Jingming's reaction like this, Pan Hai held it in his heart and shouted cautiously: "Your Majestyβ"
Emperor Jingming glanced at Pan Hai, clenched the report in his hand, and said, "The Koi Town under the jurisdiction of Qianhe County has moved. β
Pan Hai's expression was shocked, and he couldn't help but say, "That casualty-"
Emperor Jingming's face showed a strange expression: "The letter said that Koi Town was in ruins, and the people in the town were evacuated a few days in advance, and in the end there were only dozens of casualties, and the specific number of casualties is being counted, and more accurate results will be sent tomorrow or the day after tomorrow......"
"How is this possible?" Pan Hai blurted out.
Emperor Jingming put the emergency report on the case, and his tone was heavy: "Yes, how is this possible!" Three out of ten houses in Qianhe County collapsed, and more than 10,000 people were injured or wounded, accounting for 12 of the population of Qianhe County. And Koi Town is in ruins, how can there be only dozens of casualties? Could it be that Koi Town is a town with only more than 100 people? β
Pan Haidao: "After the ground movement in Qianhe County, the slave maid once looked through the information and remembered that Koi Town was the most lively town under the jurisdiction of Qianhe County, with a population of more than 1,000 people......"
More than 1,000 people, with only a few dozen casualties when all the houses collapsed, it is too bizarre.
Emperor Jingming patted the table: "This Zhao Ruqing, I don't make it clear in the urgent report, what kind of fame is he doing!" β
Pan Hai didn't answer.
The key to the urgent report is the word "urgent", which is often written in a hurry, as long as the most important things are written, as for the more detailed report, it will be sorted out later.
The next day, Emperor Jingming touched the letter in his hand, waited for the ministers to report on various matters, and said in a deep voice: "There was a ground movement in Koi Town in Qianhe County yesterday. β
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.
The ground moved again?
If the previous ground movement in Qianhe County made the ministers feel that it was still far away, the small ground movement in front of the Taimiao scared these people's courage.
What's wrong this year, even the capital has been shaken. Now that Koi Town is moving again, is it that the trouble of ground movement is endless?
Ground movement is more terrible than floods, floods are not caused by a day, if they are properly prevented or even avoided, but ground movements can not be avoided, and when they occur, they can only be left to fate.
"I received an urgent report from Zhao Shilang last night, saying that almost all the houses in Koi Town had collapsed, thousands of people were displaced, and funds were urgently needed to resettle the people......
"Impossible!" Tobe left waiter Lang blurted out.
The head of the household has reached the age of the officer, and the left and right servants of the household department are both adjutant of the household department, and they are both aiming at the position of the household secretary, and the competition between the two has lasted for a long time.
Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and at this critical time, Zuo Shilang can't care about talking about his colleagues.
Emperor Jingming looked at the left servant of the household.
"Your Majesty, there are more than 1,000 people in Koi Town, how can we talk about thousands of people being displaced when all the houses have collapsed? Judging from Weichen, it must be Lord Zhao who exaggerated and wanted the court to allocate more money! β
Tobe Shangshu fixed a glance at Tobe Zuo Shilang, and lowered his wrinkled eyelids again.
If he was a few years younger, Zuo Shilang would not be so eager to attack the officials of the same department, and he would not be able to bear the jokes of other yamen to watch the household department first.
Now that he is about to become a servant, he can understand the rivalry between the left and right attendants.
Let them fight.
The left waiter of the household department said so, and the minister who had a good dislike for Zhao Shilang would of course not lag behind, and immediately agreed.
Emperor Jingming was very calm, and when these people finished attacking, he said lightly: "Zhao Shilang's urgent report mentioned that Koi Town only suffered dozens of casualties, and the specific number should be reported in the next two days." β
"What? Only a few dozen casualties? β
The hall, which was quite orderly just now, turned into a vegetable market, and there was a lot of chaos.
Emperor Jingming was not disgusted with such a bustle.
Many major events were settled in such repeated disputes and discussions, and such excitement was at least more reassuring to him than Yiyantang.
The ministers discussed endlessly, and finally came to a conclusion: there must be something strange about this matter.
Emperor Jingming looked at the old god who was still in the household book: "What do you think of Aiqing?" β
Although the head of the household is still in this position, Emperor Jingming naturally wants to ask.
Hubu Shangshu's eyes opened a little, and he said slowly: "Qianhe County is not far from the capital, if you hurry up, it won't take two days to arrive." Since everyone thinks something is wrong, why didn't the emperor send someone to take a look? β
When Emperor Jingming heard this, he couldn't help but nod.
That's exactly what he wanted.
In addition, the crown prince and King Yan are both over there, so close to the ground, he is not very relieved about safety.
As for the performance of the crown prince in this disaster relief - Emperor Jingming was curious and looking forward to it.
Thinking like this, a minister said: "Your Majesty, the prince is the prince of the country, and he should not be in danger." There was a ground movement in Koi Town after Qianhe County, but do you know if it will happen elsewhere? The minister thought that the prince should be summoned back to Beijing. β
"The ministers seconded the proposal."
Emperor Jingming pondered for a moment and said, "Send a superintendent to Qianhe County to investigate this matter, as for the matter of calling the prince back to Beijing...... It will be determined after the supervision of the imperial history report. β
Yu Private, he is the father of the prince, and of course he does not want his son to be in danger. Yu Gong, it is precisely because the prince is the prince that he wants the prince to have more tempering, so that he can manage this huge country well in the future.
With such a sister-in-law, Emperor Jingming has a headache when he thinks about it a little, and this heart congestion is not enough for outsiders.
Soon, the superintendent Yushi and Pan Hai's apprentices were ordered to leave Beijing together and hurried to Qianhe County.
