Jinling, Changle Palace.

The documents reporting the disasters in various parts of the Chen Kingdom were sent into the palace one after another like snowflakes.

The mountain peaks in the west collapsed, and the mudslide swept through seven towns, and even Changwu Pass, which was thought to be a moat, was cut off from it in the face of this catastrophe; the river in the east poured in, and the fertile fields of the cities and towns that were submerged were innumerable, and the specific number has not yet been counted; most of the cities near the Dayuan Mountain in the south were destroyed in a huge avalanche; and although the northern border was not hit by such a devastating blow as the other three realms, the northern border has always been short of grain, and several important granaries were destroyed in this natural disaster, although the government has tried its best to snatch the grain and grass, but most of the grain and grass were still destroyed in one fell swoop, and the problems faced by the northern border are equally severe。

All in all, none of the four realms, seven counties and ninety-six cities of the Chen State were spared this disaster, and if anyone was lucky enough to avoid this disaster, it was probably only Li Moding and his son, who led an army of more than 100,000 people all the way west to the land of Longzhou. When the natural disaster that swept the entire Chen State and even the whole world came, the army of Li Moding and his son happened to arrive in Lujiao Plain, which was somewhat strange, and the collapse of the sky and earth in the outside world seemed to be nothing, and it was also because of this that Li Moding and his son and their 100,000 troops had to escape and survive.

These natural and man-made disasters are certainly shocking, and this is true for every Baixin who has suffered such a catastrophe.

And when all these calamities were placed on the table, bloody and straightforward in front of Fang Ziyu, the girl was somewhat broken.

She looked at the officials who knelt down in the audience and came from all over the place, most of them were disgraced, her head hurt, and after a rough look at the documents, she said: "These... What will you do to me?"

Of course, this is a very unreasonable thing, last night she stayed up late to memorize all the books that Chen Xuanji asked her to memorize, she was ready to find Chen Xuanji early this morning to complete the bet with him, so that she could get rid of her current identity, regain her freedom, and go to Dayuan Mountain to help Xu Han and others.

But this morning, she had already gone to Chen Xuanji's residence with great interest, but halfway through, it was dark for a while, and after tossing and turning several times like this, Changle Palace was also in a mess. The guards and eunuchs in the palace gate were busy taking care of the chaos and treating the wounded, Fang Ziyu had to temporarily put aside the idea of looking for Chen Xuanji, and also turned around to participate in such a rescue.

Most of the envoys who came from all over were full of worries, and they were expecting His Majesty in the Changle Palace to show them a clear way, but the first answer they didn't want to get was such a question. But dragging it out is not a way after all, the victims everywhere are still waiting for the assistance of the imperial court, so one of the envoys took a step after a slight hesitation, and whispered: "Tell Niangniang, it was the palace lord who asked Weichen and others to hand the fold to Niangniang." ”

Fang Ziyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately asked again, "Which adult?"

The officials who came from all over the country were immediately dumbfounded, most of them were local officials, few had ever been to Jinling, and even if they came, most of them had not entered the harem, and the adult who instructed them only knew that he was dressed as a figure with a head and a face in this palace, and the situation was urgent at that time, these officials did not think much about it, so they responded to the words of the adult, and at this moment let them recall that the name of the adult was far from being able to tell.

For a while, everyone looked at each other, and the expression on Fang Ziyu's face became more and more suspicious, obviously also aware of the cat, this natural disaster is far more widespread than any natural disaster that has occurred in the past, this has only been a day, all the towns around Jinling are still coming, and as time goes by, the farther counties and towns asking for help are estimated to be piling up more and more. With such a major change, it stands to reason that Chen Xuanji, who is the emperor, should have been busy as an ant on a hot pot, and he can't wait to have an out-of-body incarnation to deal with these many things, how can there be any reason to leave these things alone and push all the reactions to her?

Just when the queen mother on this stage was full of doubts, and the officials in the audience didn't know how to respond.

A young eunuch who looked like a eunuch suddenly lowered his head from the door, and hurriedly walked towards Fang Ziyu with small steps.

Fang Ziyu's eyes froze, she remembered that this eunuch was the eunuch she had seen yesterday who added firewood to the palace, and those officials who knelt down in the audience and were worried were also shocked at that time, they also remembered that this eunuch was the will he handed down, so that everyone could send the documents on the disaster situation in various places to the queen's bedroom.

After thinking of this, these officials wanted to state the matter to Fang Ziyu on the stage, but before the words could be spoken, the eunuch knelt down in front of Fang Ziyu and said loudly: "If you go back to Niangniang, it was the slaves who asked them to send these folds to Niangniang." ”

Fang Ziyu's brows furrowed, but he didn't get angry, but asked: "What do you want me to do? This military affairs should be handed over to Your Majesty, can I, a woman, still be able to act on my behalf?" Of course, Fang Ziyu didn't like Chen Xuanji, and most of the time he was willing to show such dislike, but at this moment, after all, it was a matter of life and death for Chen Guo, and Fang Ziyu still didn't want to be too embarrassed in front of so many Chen Guo officials.

"Tell Niangniang, Your Majesty's meaning is the highest state of reading, if Niangniang can handle this matter beautifully, then this bet will be considered a win. The eunuch said without hurry.

The officials who were waiting for the imperial court to issue a rescue seemed to understand this, but they probably understood that the matter seemed to be really handed over to the queen to deal with, and they couldn't help but change their faces, and instinctively felt that such a big thing falling into the hands of a woman's family made people a little uneasy after all. However, as the person concerned, Fang Ziyu also frowned at that time, she read so many books, and she also understood a truth, His Majesty the Emperor sitting in the palace gate looked at it naturally and extraordinary, and he was full of words, but as an emperor, every move, or even an inadvertent decision could make hundreds of thousands of living beings fall into misery.

If she could, Fang Ziyu didn't want to play such a role, which was not a good experience for her after all. What's more, under such a natural disaster at this moment, all parts of Chen Guo have suffered natural disasters, and it is not easy to get where to transfer food and where to send manpower, and such a hot potato recipe fish never wants to take it in his own hands.

Fang Ziyu's thoughts had just risen, and before he could announce it, the eunuch kneeling in the audience said again: "Your Majesty said, if Niangniang does not agree to this matter, then this bet will have to be stopped." ”

Fang Ziyu was suddenly angry, as soon as she patted the desk in front of her, her body suddenly stood up, pointing at the eunuch and was about to scold, but before the same words came out, she was swallowed back by herself, there is a way that people do not bow their heads under the eaves, at this moment she has no qualifications to bargain with Chen Xuanji, she needs to seize every possible opportunity, thinking of this, Fang Ziyu's eyes sank, and finally retracted the gaze that fell on the eunuch, looked at the thick folds stacked on the desk, and after snorting coldly, began to look at them one after another in front of his eyes。

Seeing this, many officials in the audience also knew that it was a foregone conclusion that the queen mother, whom they met for the first time, would take over the matter, although they were a little worried, but they could only accept such a rather absurd arrangement for the time being.

Fang Ziyu began to look through the twists and turns, and everyone in the palace gate was silent at that time, waiting for Fang Ziyu to give them the rescue method they expected. But as she looked at it, Fang Ziyu's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, before that, she had been a little prepared for the situation in Chen Guo, but when she read these pieces carefully one by one, she realized that she was still too optimistic after all.

Almost every region of the Chen country has been greatly hit, either a large number of people are needed to rush there, or a huge amount of grain and grass is needed to relieve the victims, but Fang Ziyu is not a god, how can she have the ability to conjure so many people or food out of thin air, she carefully calculated that if the grain in the treasury is fully allocated, it can only maintain the entire Chen country for half a month, if you want to survive the winter, until the autumn harvest next year, you need to transport the grain and grass in the grain storage land in the south to be unified scheduling, maybe it can last until then, but at this moment, the grain and grass in the south are covered under the avalanche, and you want to pull out the grain and grass thereIt takes a lot of manpower to find the town buried by the heavy snow, and this process is by no means a handful, and it also requires a lot of food and grass to keep the surviving people alive until that moment.

Fang Ziyu was kind-hearted, although she didn't like Chen Xuanji, but she knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would be a catastrophe for the surviving people of Chen Guo, at this moment she was thinking about where to find so much manpower and grain and grass, and she had long forgotten the so-called gambling contract.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, and the officials waiting for Fang Ziyu's order were anxious outside the palace gate like ants on a hot pot, and the folds sent by various towns farther away were also handed into the palace all the time. The officials who inquired about each other's situation everywhere were like ashes, this Chen country had no place to live, everyone was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, who could help whom?

With such thoughts, those officials no longer had any hope for the imperial court.

Until the time came, the palace gate of the Changle Palace was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and many officials subconsciously looked in the direction of the palace gate, but the situation there made everyone stunned, only to see the queen mother who made up casually during the day changed into a black brocade robe, she looked at everyone with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "The treasury is open for disaster relief, and the states and counties can receive seven days of grain and grass according to the number of survivors reported up. ”

These words did not make these officials feel half happy, and they all cried bitterly: "This winter is long, and after seven days, what should happen next?"

Such a voice was quickly echoed by most of the people present, and for a while there was a lot of noise outside the palace gate.

The black-clothed girl standing in front of the palace frowned, and said again: "This is the emperor's order, if you have any doubts, you can write to Your Majesty, if not, then take the order." For seven days, if a person starves to death under the jurisdiction of the states and counties, the law of the state of Chen has its own law of punishment, and after seven days, the grain and herb palace that you are worried about will also be delivered to you!"

With that, the sword qi around the girl shook, and a long sword appeared at her feet, carrying her body into the distance.

Many officials present looked at each other in pairs, and they couldn't imagine where the queen could conjure food for them, but in the end, they didn't dare to disobey her orders, so they could only leave Changle Palace with a suspicious attitude and go to the Jinling treasury.

And what neither the departing girl nor the civil and military officials present had ever seen was that as soon as the girl's words fell, everywhere in the territory of Chen Guo, a thin aura slowly surged into the girl's body at that time, and gradually condensed into a dragon behind her...
