Chapter 19: Killed on the way
Zhao Kang, who was stabbed with a thousand knives, not only coerced the minister to hide the true situation of Yuanjiang County for him, but also coerced the minister to accept bribes. Every year he would give his ministers 10,000 taels of silver, and if the ministers did not accept him, he would be punished in the name of rape. ”
"In addition, he will also give the specialties of Yuanjiang County to the minister, the minister has been coerced by him all the time over the years, and His Majesty's minister is bitter!"
Xiao Linglong was numb, listening to Zhou Baichuan tell Zhao Kang one by one, and Her Majesty's anger was rising.
Sure enough, I shouldn't have dealt with a dog official who opened a green building!
Have fantasies!
Such a person actually wanted to summon him to the capital to serve the country before! Her Majesty the Empress only felt that her previous brain must have entered the water.
His Royal Highness Xuan Ce felt that he had opened his eyes today, and there was still such a superb talent in my Great Qianguo! I can't wait to see it!
"I understand, you have been wronged."
Xiao Linglong personally helped Zhou Baichuan who was kneeling on the ground, and at this moment, the prefect was moved to tears, and the humiliation of these years turned into sincere tears.
It's finally been fooled!
"Someone, spread my word!"

Xiao Linglong shouted, His Royal Highness Xuan Ce and Zhou Baichuan's bodies trembled, it was really strange that such a majesty of the Son of Heaven actually appeared on a woman.
The chief eunuch waiting outside the garden hurriedly trotted over: "Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Linglong said angrily: "Spread my message, and order the Ministry of Officials to immediately investigate Yuanjiang County and order Zhao Kang to arrest him, and ask for beheading after the autumn!" ”
"The slave obeys." The chief eunuch swallowed.
Zhou Baichuan was shocked in his heart, this is killed?
What he didn't know was that opening a green building and bribing Zhao Kang alone touched the bottom line of Her Majesty the Empress, and this alone was enough for Xiao Linglong to kill him Zhao Kang a hundred times.
Not to mention that for so many years, he has deceived his superiors and subordinates, and he has not paid any taxes!
If Zhao Kang appeared in front of Her Majesty the Empress now, maybe Xiao Linglong would directly draw his sword and behead his dog.
The chief eunuch was just about to deliver the decree, when Zhang Qianshan, the secretary of the household department, rushed into the imperial garden with his official robe.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
"What's the noise!"
Xiao Linglong suppressed her anger and scolded.
Zhang Qianshan pounced and knelt down and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Jiangzhou is in a hurry!" The dam burst and flooded hundreds of counties, destroying fertile land and displacing hundreds of people! ”
With a shake of her body, Xiao Linglong didn't stand firmly, and almost fell backwards, startling everyone.
Xiao Xuance hurriedly helped his sister, his eyes were full of concern: "Eldest sister! ”
Her Majesty the Empress was really unintentional at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Immediately convene a hundred officials to discuss the matter!" ”
Taihe Temple.
Xiao Linglong walked up to the dragon chair with the support of the green mandarin, there was no need to say much to say the greetings, looking at the Jiangzhou envoys kneeling in the audience, Xiao Linglong said sharply: "Quickly report the Jiangzhou disaster!" ”
The envoy didn't dare to raise his head and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, since June, there has been a sudden torrential rain in various parts of Jiangzhou that has lasted for twenty-three days, and the heavy rain has caused the Guangling River to surge and collapse the Jiangzhou Dam, and the flood has spread unstoppably from Jiangzhou Mansion through Moxian, Jinchuan, Guiyun and other counties with developed water systems, and it has been out of control. ”
"Up to now, all parts of Jiangzhou have been affected by floods, and the fertile land has been destroyed, and the people have no harvest, and there is a tendency to get worse......"
The faces of all the ministers changed in unison.
Jiangzhou is the capital of the most developed water system in Qianguo, and if it causes floods, it will even affect other state capitals.
Immediately, Taishi Yang, who was ranked as one of the three princes, hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, the natural disasters are serious, and the people are suffering, and the disaster relief is urgent!" ”
"The old lady is right, Your Majesty! Please go to Jiangzhou! ”
A group of bigwigs from the military department stood up, and this was the time when soldiers were needed.
Looking at the ministers in the audience, Xiao Linglong's heart felt a little comforted, and he ordered again and again: "Order Li Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to transfer 30,000 troops to rush to Jiangzhou, and the Ministry of Household immediately allocate 300,000 taels from the treasury for relief. Disaster. In addition, the prefects of all states and prefectures were notified to immediately transfer grain to Jiangzhou! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
As soon as the ministers sent it to the sycophants, Xiao Linglong's heart was full of worry instead of much joy.
The initial strategy is in place, so what's next?
The flood disaster is no better than others, if the flood cannot be controlled, the disaster will only continue to spread, thinking of this, Xiao Linglong immediately convened an internal meeting, and all the officials above the third grade participated together, wanting to gather the strength of everyone to come up with a way.
The result was a lot of noise.
You say yours, I say mine.
I think your approach is stupid, you think my idea is that I have in my brain, and the quarrel is about to start in the end.
However, one of the people stared at the map in a daze and suddenly said, "If only the flood could be diverted from Hongyun County." ”
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Xiao Xuance who happened, so they didn't pause for a second before turning their heads and continuing to quarrel.
What can this guy come up with? It's really strange.
Thinking that this guy sneaked out of the palace and finally came back for food, everyone originally thought that His Royal Highness Xuan Ce had also experienced the hardships of the people, and he should have grown up.
Maybe you'll learn something from this ordeal.
As a result, after a period of observation, everyone found out that Xiao Xuance only learned how to ask for food when he left the palace this time.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xiao Xuance suddenly pointed to the map and said angrily: "You won't see it yourself!" Now the flood is pouring in the direction of Hongyun County, and the rest of Dama County and other places are low-lying terrain, and if the flood water is not diverted, the damage will only spread faster. ”
Taishi Yang looked at the map and nodded slightly, yo, the sun came out in the west, and it really made this guy right, the old man muttered: "But how easy is it to divert the flood, there are no mountains and mountains around Hongyun County, is it possible to rely on manpower to stop it?" ”
Xiao Xuance looked confident: "Maybe there is a way." ”
Everyone was really surprised this time and looked at His Royal Highness the prince blankly, Xiao Linglong immediately said: "Xuan Ce, if you have any ideas, just say it!" ”
Xiao Xuance nodded and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you took us to pray to the heavens and knelt for seven days and seven nights, I believe that with our sincerity, we will be able to move the heavens...... The so-called sincerity is open, and the spirit of the father and the emperor in the sky will definitely bless us......"
"Enough!" Xiao Linglong's face was gloomy.
Almost, just a little, she couldn't help but throw out Xiao Xuance, who was talking energetically.
The old lady is really in the water in her brain to listen to your guy talking nonsense!
Her Majesty the Empress is tired and doesn't love anymore.
