Chapter 261: Opportunity
In the capital, the folds of reporting the floods in the lower reaches of the Chu River were piled up on the desk of the saint.
The Chujiang dam burst and the flash floods and mudslides broke out on the banks of the Chu River, destroying thousands of hectares of fertile land and damaging 5,300 houses.
Nearly 10,000 people left their homeland and went north to survive.
The Holy God ordered all localities to open warehouses and release grain to help the victims.
After reporting the excerpt of the disaster, he faintly set off a wave of excerpts to participate in King Ning.
The Chujiang Dam was allocated 50,000 taels by the imperial court the year before last to build and reinforce it.
An official said that the construction and reinforcement work of the year before last was not seriously completed at all, and it was just a show.
The silver allocated by the imperial court to build the Chujiang Dam went into the pockets of some people.
The saint looked at the excerpt of the disaster like a snowflake, and this excerpt of participating in corruption undoubtedly ignited the anger in his heart!
The Holy Emperor and the Imperial Court jointly investigated the matter.
Is it a natural disaster that was spared, or is it a man-made disaster that caused such a heavy loss?
Shangguan Xi couldn't care about going south, so he took Su Pu and Su Bai's master and apprentice all the way north and rushed to the capital.
But there was a secret letter that was delivered to the Holy One faster than they did.
This secret letter appears to have been written by the county guard of Yidu County to King Ning.
In addition to flattery, the letter also begged King Ning to intercede for him, implying that the procuratorate had already found out to him whether the silver that had been repaired the Chujiang Dam the year before had been implemented in order to monitor the whereabouts of the silver that had been repaired the Chujiang Dam the year before.
The apprehensive words in the letter made the saint very angry.
If Jiangnan loses, it is all caused by official corruption! How to let him not be angry!
The Taiwan Academy was hinted by the Holy Lord, and immediately secretly visited King Ning's correspondence, interpersonal communication, and so on.
Liang Yan sat in the inner courtyard, with the account book in front of her, and Bai Wei standing aside.
Liang Yan looked at the account book and said: "This time Jiangnan was affected, and it was the people who suffered, let Xu Changgui make overall arrangements, and set up a porridge shed at the entrance of Renji Hall near the disaster to give porridge for free." Renjitang rice from all over the country was sent to the disaster area. ”
Bai Wei nodded again and again and took notes.
"Ah Xi can come back with a letter of safety?" Liang Yan asked again.
Bai Wei shook her head, "No, Xu is delayed on the road, Miss Shangguan must be fine." ”
Liang Yan nodded.
Li Ningxin trotted to the flower hall where Liang Yan was holding her small money box, "Auntie! ”
She pushed the small money box in her arms into Liang Yan's arms.
Liang Yan was slightly stunned.
Li Ningxin gasped and said: "Yu said that A-Niang took all her jewelry and wanted to exchange food for the victims. This is Ning Xin'er's silver! Also to the disaster victims! ”
Liang Yan looked at her daughter in surprise, "Isn't Ning Xin'er's money box very precious and no one will touch it?" Now you are willing to give it to A-Niang? ”
Li Ningxin shook her head, "It's not for A-Niang, it's for the victims!" Ning Xin'er can still save money in the future! ”
I don't know who she followed, Li Ningxin is very sensitive to money, she never uses the pocket money given by her father and mother on weekdays, and she has enough examples in the house. She personally put the rest of the money in a red sandalwood box, kept it personally, and no one touched it.
At this time, she was able to think of the victims and take out her small savings, which really surprised Liang Yan.
She never hinted that Li Ningxin should do this.
She looked up at Yu, "Did you tell Ning Xin'er to let her take out her savings?" ”
Yu hurriedly shook his head, "The maid didn't say, but the little lady asked the maid why the princess didn't bring much jewelry during this time, and the maid told the little lady that the princess used her jewelry as a way to buy rice and grain to help the victims." ”
Liang Yan smiled and nodded, she was a jewelry she didn't like very much, she didn't wear jewelry, she felt that Jiangnan was affected by a large area, she lived in the capital safely, no matter how poor and luxurious she was, it was really not good, simple dress can always remind herself that there are still people suffering, she should do her best.
Li Ningxin nodded, "Ning Xin'er also has to learn from A-Niang." ”
As she spoke, she took off a hibiscus hairpin on her head that she liked very much, reluctantly put it in front of Liang Yan, looked at it for a long time, took it back, and then put it in front of Liang Yan again. After repeating it a few times, he finally put his hand behind his back, "It's okay, there will be one later." ”
Liang Yan smiled and said to Bai Wei: "Write down, how much money and how many things the little lady has donated are recorded in the book, and they will also be included in the donation account of Renjitang." ”
Bai Wei nodded and said, "The maid knows!" ”
Although Li Ningxin was reluctant to give up her favorite hairpin, she also smiled with a sense of accomplishment at this time, "Is it that Ning Xin'er's money will also be turned into rice grain to help the victims who have no home?" ”
Liang Yan nodded, "Yes, your money can buy a lot of rice and boil it into a very big pot of porridge, so that many, many people don't have to go hungry." ”
Li Ningxin's waist straightened a little suddenly, and she turned around and left the flower hall with a smile, "Auntie, hurry up, I won't disturb you!" ”
As soon as Li Ningxin walked out of the flower hall, she saw the little maid in the outer courtyard hurrying straight to the flower hall, "Princess!" The prince was called away by the people of the Imperial Tower! ”
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, "The people of Yushitai? ”
The little guy nodded in a panic and said, "Yes! King Ning was asked to leave by the people of Yushitai yesterday, and he has not come back yet, so our prince is going to ......."
Liang Yan frowned, waved her hand and said, "Call the housekeeper!" ”
"The housekeeper has gone to inquire about what's going on!" The little guy replied.
Liang Yan nodded, "Don't panic, let's go down first, the people of the Imperial Historical Observatory are directly ordered by the Holy Lord, maybe the Holy Lord wants to know something." ”
The little guy bowed and walked away.
Bai Wei's brows were also furrowed tightly, "Princess, this ......"
Liang Yan put down the account book in her hand, "You have remembered all the disaster relief matters of Renjitang, right?" Leave the rest alone, just do the disaster relief well. ”
"Yes!" Bai Wei put away the account books and bowed out of the flower hall.
Liang Yan got up and walked towards the inner courtyard.
The people of Yushitai invited King Ning away yesterday, King Ning has not returned to the house yet, and today he invited Li Xuanyi away.
What exactly is it to ask?
What is the Holy One so concerned about?
"Auntie! Auntie! Li Zhen, the son who had just left, ran towards Liang Yan with his calves.
pounced on Liang Yan, hugged Liang Yan's legs, and said with a small face: "Auntie, hug!" ”
Liang Yan bent down and hugged Li Zhen, "Find Aya!" Find Ayah! ”
Liang Yan smiled: "Aya is not in the house, can A-Niang play with you?" Aya...... I'll be back in a moment! ”
Li Zhen twisted her soft little body, kissed Liang Yan's face, and smeared her saliva, "Auntie, let's play!" ”
Liang Yan carried Li Zhen back to the room, put him on the big bed, let him turn his head, and let him go crazy.
But she has always been a little absent-minded.
Li Zhen was careless when he was playing, and he was too close to the bed, if it weren't for the nurse who was waiting for him to stand close, he almost fell off the bed.
Listening to Li Zhen's cry after being frightened.
Liang Yan was troubled for a while.
Until dusk, Li Xuanyi hadn't come back.
Liang Yan called the housekeeper to ask about the situation.
"Did you find out why you were asked to leave?"
The housekeeper bowed down and said, "I heard that it was because of the flood in the Chu River." ”
"Chu River floods?" Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said in a trance, "Is the county guard of Yidu County a person from King Ning?" ”
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time and said: "It seems that in the year of the Jiangdong plague, when the Holy Admiral Jiangdong officials were purged, it coincided with the Yidu Junjun Guard's funeral and filial piety, so he was recommended by King Ning. ”
"Sure enough...... This time, I'm afraid it's not easy! Prepare the car, I'm going to Pingkangfang! Liang Yan said.
The butler nodded hurriedly.
When Liang Yan arrived at Shangguan's house in Pingkangfang, it was already twilight.
"Does my father-in-law know about this?" Liang Yan briefly said that King Ning and Li Xuanyi were both invited away by Yushitai.
Shangguan Ruixing also had a solemn face, "I haven't heard of it before, I think it was the Holy Lord himself who ordered them to act in secret!" ”
"Then now that King Ning and Xuanyi have been taken away, in this case, what strong evidence has Yu Shitai obtained?" Liang Yan said in surprise.
Shangguan Ruixing hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
The atmosphere in the room was very solemn.
"King Ning is not that kind of person...... Liang Yan said.
"Whether the county guard of Keyidu County is that kind of person or not, it is not certain, after all, it is thousands of miles away...... was seized by the prince and others again...... "Shangguan Ruixing was full of worries.
"The saint should know that King Ning's character is that the county guard misbehaves, and he shouldn't care about King Ning!" Liang Yan said in a low voice.
Shangguan Ruixing shook his head slightly, "The person was recommended by King Ning, if the county guard is really greedy for the silver to repair the river embankment, how can King Ning not be reconciled, the lower reaches of the Chu River have washed away more than 5,300 families, and now the saint is in the midst of the holy anger, and there is the prince provoking from the side, where is the anger of the saint spreading?" The prince has a good time! ”
I could hear the anger in Shangguan Ruixing's tone.
Liang Yan bit her lower lip, "Now that King Ning and Xuanyi have been invited away by the Imperial Historical Observatory, can the righteous father have someone who is familiar with the Imperial Historical Terrace?" Would it be nice to find out a little bit about the situation? ”
Shangguan Ruixing shook his head, "The Wang family has a close relationship with the prime minister, and the prime minister hinted to him that this matter should not be taken lightly now, even if there are people in the Yushitai, now they should also avoid leaving, and the saint is now staring at this matter, and if he is not careful, he will lose all the plates!" ”
When Liang Yan heard this, her brows furrowed, "Then just wait?" Do nothing? ”
Shangguan Ruixing said: "I heard that Renjitang is not giving porridge and medicine? This thing is enough for you to be busy, so you can keep busy with this thing, right? ”
"Aya means ......," Liang hesitated.
Shangguan Ruixing nodded, "Replace doing something with nothing, and wait and see what happens!" ”
