Chapter 39: Disaster Relief Funds

"Hmph! General Qing's mouth should really be cleaner, the emperor is still sitting on it, and he is not inferior to the mouth of the main hall, what kind of system. Dong Jian flicked his long sleeves, his eyes showed disdain, and looked at Qingyuan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Of course, the emperor is sitting on it, and I don't need you to remind you, besides, it's you who I scolded, and it's really inappropriate for you to use the emperor to talk about things. Qingyuan is neither humble nor arrogant, said solemnly.

"You!"

"Okay, what does General Qing want to play, let's talk about it quickly. He Hui was hurt by Qingyuan and Dong Jian's shouting brains, and if he asked the two to quarrel again, it was estimated that the early dynasty would be delayed again.

"Yes!" Qingyuan bowed and said eloquently.

"Now Yangzhou three days of heavy rain, two days of light rain, vegetable market grain, vegetables and fruits, fish and shrimp are all rotten in the hands, nowhere to sell, the disaster in addition to flooding houses and grain fields, but also for the economy has brought great losses, the people have nowhere to go out, the water rises and the boat is less, the people in the city can not go out, people outside the city can not enter, the traffic is blocked, the street people starve to death innumerable, drowned cattle, horses and livestock everywhere, rotten bones and rotten corpses all over the field, I heard that Yangzhou big merchants have monopolized the supply of foreign food, sold at sky-high prices, the people complained, the people shouted hunger, the children could not go to school, the farmers could not crop, it has become a big disaster。 "Qingyuan Road.

He Hui frowned and pretended to be in pain, and the ministers and ministers all complained bitterly, and there was a lot of discussion below.

"However, this disaster relief fund has already been distributed to all counties in Yangzhou, Lujiang County, Danyang County, Linchuan County, and Jian'an County, which is seriously flooded, have distributed disaster relief materials as appropriate, so why has this flood been delayed for a long time?

He Hui was furious, and all the ministers in the hall were frightened and knelt down and said, "The ministers are incompetent. Dong Jian, who knelt for the head, did not change his face, and He Hui couldn't help but squint. Today's Dong Jian, on the contrary, is too serious and sensible, which makes He Hui very uneasy. There is a sense of proportion in the heart, and anger is even greater.

He Hui was angry in his heart and didn't know how to do it, so he pointed to Gonggong Ming and said majestically, "Spread another holy message, the imperial historian Zhou Yunkai is not early in the morning, and he will be rewarded with fifty boards." ”

"Yes! "Father-in-law Ming.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if you want to truly control the floods, you must distribute disaster relief funds to the people. Shangshu Wang Langyue knelt down and said.

"Lord Wang Langyue is probably old and deaf, didn't you hear Your Majesty say that the disaster relief funds have been distributed?" Dong Jian knelt in front of him and said in an accent.

Wang Langyue shook off, bowed to the ground again, and said again, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if you want to truly control the flood, you must send disaster relief funds to the people. This time, Wang Langyue's voice was quite low, but she emphasized the last four words.

He Hui didn't understand why a lot of disaster relief funds were distributed but still couldn't manage the floods, just because the officials protected each other and withheld at all levels, and there were very few leftovers that were really distributed to the victims, and then they were colluded by local officials and big households, and it was still the people who suffered.

But this matter can't be rushed, it will affect the whole body, and now that the corrupt officials are found out, I am afraid that there will be some officials who are big and cannot be shaken, so that the disaster has not healed, and it has provoked the big people and forced the rebellion to raise troops, which is not something that has not happened in the previous dynasty. He Hui made a difficulty. Looking at Dong Jian, I'm afraid that he Dong Jian can't get rid of it.

He Hui's head hurt again. After thinking twice and again, he finally waved his hand, planning not to punish him first, and told Dong Jian to have self-knowledge, and hoped that he could allocate the disaster relief funds. So that they do not hurt each other's decency.

"That's it, that's it for today, you guys go back and think of a way to come out, I don't want to hear the same thing tomorrow morning. If there is no way to do it after three days, I will investigate it thoroughly. He Hui said, not forgetting to give Dong Jian a meaningful look, but I don't know if Dong Jian saw it.

"Yes! The ministers bowed down, and Dong Jian looked no different from others.

"Retreat—"

After He Hui left, and all the battles behind him left, the ministers reasoned again.

Dong Jian strode in front of Qing Yuan and snorted, "As far as I know, this flood is not under the jurisdiction of General Qing." ”

Qingyuan took the lead and said casually, "I'm willing, I don't think my business is under the jurisdiction of General Dong." ”

Qingyuan brushed his sleeves away, still feeling uncomfortable, and turned around and scolded again, "Piff!"

"You!" Dong Jian blew his beard and glared, but Qingyuan was already far away.

Qingyuan left the main hall, and at the gate of the Shangshu Palace, he saw the ministers gathered together, whispering in front of him, and he couldn't help but take a few steps faster and stepped forward to look.

I saw Taiwei Chen kneeling in the middle of the door of the main hall, his face full of solemnity, and a white beard floating with the breeze. It's still a serious expression on weekdays, but his eyes don't look at anyone, he only looks towards the upper book hall. Everyone is not to blame, after all, Taiwei Chen is straightforward, and if there is anything important that requires the emperor's nod, he must kneel down to show his solemnity.

Qingyuan rubbed his eyes and looked at Taiwei Chen in the distance. What is different from the past is that behind Mrs. Chen, there is a young woman who is also kneeling on the ground.

Look carefully, this woman is dressed in turquoise clothes, her skin is white and beautiful, her eyebrows are like willow leaves in spring, her face is like a peach blossom in March, her eyes are clear and dark, and there is no impurity. It's just that she is not dressed up too gorgeously, only ordinary clothes, ordinary hair buns, not even lip grease, no makeup on her face, and the woman is quite heroic, but like a beautiful man.

Everyone passed by Mrs. Chen's side again and again, and when they saw that Mrs. Chen's face was angry, they ignored people, so they had to shake their heads and leave.

Qingyuan stepped forward and said politely to Mrs. Chen, "Old Chen." ”

Coincidentally, Taiwei Chen just straightened out Qingyuan, raised his head, looked at Qingyuan's face, snorted heavily, and then said, "Piff!"

"Ah...... This ......" Qingyuan Daleng raised his head and looked at Taiwei Chen with a complicated expression, not knowing what Taiwei meant by scolding himself.

"Isn't it, didn't you disturb Taiwei ......" Qingyuan asked cautiously, looking at Taiwei Chen's face cautiously.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Chen didn't say a word and only sneered at Qingyuan, Qingyuan's face was ugly, but he didn't dare to go beyond the rules, and Mr. Chen, who had always been respectful, didn't know what was going on today. Qingyuan couldn't figure it out, so he had to salute with a sad face, "Then, I won't leave first." With that, he left with a blank face.

Seeing this, the others did not dare to approach, so they took a detour far away.

The little father-in-law, who only went to the door of the book hall, hurriedly ran to spread the word to Ming's father-in-law, and Ming's father-in-law hurriedly told He Hui about it.

"Oh, Old Chen is kneeling at the door of the Shangshu Palace, it's okay, maybe he has fallen in love with one of my paintings, just give it to him. He Hui pinched his forehead, worried about the flood, but didn't care.

"Your Majesty, this time is different......" Father-in-law Ming bent over with a complicated expression.

"What's the difference?"

"This time, it was Taiwei Chen who brought his baby daughter and knelt at the main entrance of the Shangshu Hall together!"

He Hui's tea almost squirted out of his mouth, holding his chest and coughing, Ming Gonggong hurriedly stepped forward to pat He Hui's back.

"You can look carefully!" He Hui put down the teacup and looked at Gonggong Ming in shock.

"Your Majesty, the minister should look good, after all, Miss Chen's good looks are rare, and Miss Chen has always only worn turquoise, and the minister recognized it at a glance. ”

"Hurry up, lead me over!" He Hui said, and followed the footsteps of Ming Gonggong out of the Shangshu Palace.

At the foot of the empty hall, there was almost no one except for the palace maids. From a distance, I saw Mrs. Chen kneeling at the door of the hall with his head upright, and it was indeed Miss Chen who was kneeling and yawning behind him, yes, there was only the daughter of the Chen family who was not afraid of the hall at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"Oh no, Cheng Qi, I can't coax Chen Lao with a few calligraphy and paintings this time. He Hui hurriedly turned around, calling the nickname of Ming Gonggong, and his tone was hurried.

Even He Hui knew that Taiwei Chen was the most favored daughter, and the old man spoiled his beloved daughter to the sky, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, covering it in the palm of his hand for fear of pain, and resting it on his head for fear of flying, such a pampered daughter actually came here to kneel for a long time, it seems that this time it is serious.

He Hui held his breath, stepped forward, laughed, and greeted him with a smile, "Gong Chen, why did you get up early in the morning and bow down?"

When Taiwei Chen saw He Hui, he bowed his head and slammed his head on the ground, and then he was silent for a long time.

He Hui and Gonggong Ming, who were about to step forward, were startled at the same time, and they paused to look at each other and did not dare to step forward.

The daughter behind Mrs. Chen was so frightened by Mrs. Chen's actions that the corners of her mouth moved, her face spasmed slightly, and she secretly pinched Mrs. Chen's waist with her hand, and Mrs. Chen finally raised her head, and a big bag instantly swollen on her forehead.

"Gong Chen, talk about something slowly......" He Hui stepped forward and said with a smile, I was really afraid that Taiwei Chen would faint at the foot of this hall if he couldn't get up in one breath.

Taiwei Chen bowed to He Hui again, but it was much lighter than the previous kowtow, he didn't count his own worship, and he didn't forget to call his daughter behind him.

"Good wishes, goodbye!"

The woman behind her was obviously not very willing to come and kneel and worship, but she couldn't kneel and kneel, so she was still one more time away.

"Little girl-Chen Jiayi, see the emperor. With that, he raised his head and looked heroic.
