As a eunuch in the palace, Xiao Jing is in his sixties, and he has no eggs, and his courage seems to be lost along with the eggs, so it is not easy to make this decision.

But these days, he has watched Emperor Hongzhi become more and more emaciated, and he has seen such a cold situation, and his brain is hot, and he asks for his life.

Zhu Youzhu looked down at the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, and there was a groan in his heart, the cabinet ministers and the six ministers were all thousands of horses, and in the end, a eunuch stood up.

He looked deeply at this eunuch who had been with him for more than ten years, his gaze turned soft, and finally fell silent, and asked quietly: "Xiao Companion, do you really want to go?" ”

Xiao Jing regretted a little at this time, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Returning to the emperor, although the slave is not a hero, she is also willing to take the order." ”

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said firmly: "No, you Xiao Jing is a hero and a hero!" ”

"The prince and Xia Qing's family are fearless of life and death, they know that they can't do it, they have a heart to save the country and the people, and they are heroes!

And you, Xiao Companion, are eunuchs, but in the midst of these thousands of horses, you stand up and ask for your life, you can also be called a hero!

In my opinion, the so-called gentlemen and generals in this world are all inferior to you! ”

"But you Xiao Jing is a eunuch and an inner servant, how can you receive this position of Qincha?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the civil and military officials again, his tone was low, but his voice was high, "Let me see, there are other heroes in my Ming Dynasty!" ”

“.”

The cheeks twitched as the ministers knelt on their knees, and they felt the anticipation and irony from the emperor from these words, but is it time to be a hero and a good man?

That was a landslide, that was the Yellow River bursting, and now the whole Puzhou is afraid that it has become a vast ocean. There are also officials and civilians who have not counted the dead and wounded, and in this scorching summer, the entire Puzhou will surely be plagued by plague.

Even if you can survive the aftershocks and the flood, how can you survive the plague?

They can be fearless of the landslide, of the floods, of what might have been a rebellion, for these disasters are visible to the naked eye.

But this plague alone is the most frightening, invisible or touchable, and I don't even know when I was infected.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

The cabinet minister is the chief assistant of the national court, and this court, where can the world run without us.

Wang Shu, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, is nearly ninety years old this year, where can the old man suffer from the bumps, and he may have to die halfway before he reaches the place.

The head of the household is still 50 years old, and the ministers also have to coordinate the grain and grass and materials.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, is 80 years old, and he feels that he is also old

These six ministers and nine secretaries of the cabinet, who were pinned on by the emperor and hoped to stand up as heroes, felt that they had no reason to go, so they were waiting for the rest of them to stand up.

But no one stood up, only Li Dongyang was about to move in the crowd, kneeling like this, with his heels on his buttocks, hemorrhoids were committed, and it hurt very much.

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't stand the pain after all, and couldn't help but straighten up, so that his heels no longer pressed against his buttocks.

And Emperor Hongzhi's gaze also turned suddenly, and even if he smiled, it was the kind of smile that was straightforward, a somewhat penetrating laugh.

"I just say that I am a great Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for me to have only three heroes, and Li Qing's family is also a hero!"

"Since Li Qing's family has made up their minds, I will let Qing go to take charge of the Puzhou disaster relief. The prince and Xia Qing's family are now in deep danger, and they asked Li Qing's family, a hero, to rescue the two. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhu clenched his fists, and said with a sigh of anger in his mouth: "Yes, let the hero save the hero, and let the hero save the hero!" ”

Li Dongyang's face turned green, and he almost fainted, "Your Majesty, minister."

But Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to give him a chance to speak, and was about to block him back, but unexpectedly let the rest of the ministers take the lead.

"Your Majesty." Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, praised him, "Li Gong is highly talented and good at overall decision-making, and even the people in the market know about this matter, and he is the best candidate for this Qin mission disaster relief." ”

Xie Qian, the third assistant of the cabinet, continued: "What Gong Liu said is reasonable, if the minister is not mistaken, the family of Gong Li seems to have been born in the army for generations, and the family has a family history, I am afraid that even this art of war is proficient." ”

Han Wen is the secretary of the household department, and he is also in charge of household registration among his duties, so he nodded, "Gong Xie has a good memory, Gong Li used to belong to the Jinwu Zuowei nationality, and he must know a lot about this art of war." ”

Ma Wensheng said in a native voice: "It's a shame to say that the old minister has been added to the secretary of the military department, but he is not as good as Li Gong in terms of soldiers. This went to Puzhou for disaster relief, and rebellion inevitably occurred after the disaster, and others were afraid that they would not be hit, only people like Li Gong, who were familiar with the art of war, could be worthy of a great task. ”

Seeing the high-sounding words of the others, the criminal department Shangshu pondered for a moment, and said firmly and slowly: "What several old ministers said is reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" ”

Wang Shu, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, made a final decision slowly: "The old minister also seconded it." ”

“.”

The cabinet ministers, the six ministries and nine secretaries, all unanimously approved the matter of Li Dongyang going to disaster relief.

This disaster relief is so serious, not to mention that it also involves the prince and the country. If you think about it with your ass, you know that you must need a high-ranking minister to serve as a minister.

Except for the six ministers of the cabinet and other nine secretaries, the rest of them are incompetent, let alone qualified.

It's not Li Dongyang, it has to be them, and one has to be chosen.

What's more, Your Majesty has said so, and has also determined that you Li Dongyang are heroes and heroes, so it is not that we want to harm you, but this hero and heroes are willing to sacrifice you.

Hey, I can only suffer Li Gong, and I will bear the guilt and infamy.

Li Dongyang's face was green and blue, and his long beard couldn't stop trembling, he had been an official in the same dynasty for decades, but he didn't want this comrade's affection to be so weak, which was sad and lamentable.

The old man has never even read a book on war, where does he know what art of war?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at this scene and was silent for a long time, he has been the king for fifteen years, before this Fengtianmen, in the palace of the body, in the Qianqing Palace, fifteen years of imperial career, large and small, has carried out tens of thousands of court discussions.

But it seems that nothing has ever been so swift and so quick as today, and it has attracted a full house of important ministers.

Zhu Youzhu felt a little absurd, absurd but also a little ridiculous, and then he pressed all the emotions in his heart, and his tone was calm and stable,

"Since all the Qing families unanimously believe that Li Qing's family is the best candidate for this disaster relief, and Li Qing's family is also expected.

Then I gave Li Qing's family the will: Li Dongyang, a scholar of the Yuan Pavilion of the Empire, a second assistant of the cabinet, and a young master of the crown prince, was the minister of the Qin mission for this disaster relief. As soon as Puzhou responds to disaster relief, I entrust it to Yu Qing. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi paused a few times, and added: "Qing can select the officials of the court and the central government, select the heroes, and select the heroes, and enter Puzhou with the Qing family to preside over the disaster relief affairs." ”

After listening to these last words, the faces of the other ministers also turned green, what does it mean to select the officials of the DPRK and China on their own?

The crowd just wanted to speak, but Li Dongyang didn't give them a chance, endured the pain caused by hemorrhoids, leaned over and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Minister Li Dongyang leads the order!" ”

At this moment, Li Dongyang's heart finally showed an indescribable sense of happiness and comfort.

Heroes?

According to the old man's opinion, in front of the gate of Fengtian, it can be said that there is a hero meeting from all over the world, and all the ministers are heroes!

Li Dongyang received the emperor's order, but many people were worried, for fear that this old man would not be able to think about it, so he ordered himself.

The situation in Puzhou is still unknown, but it can be guessed that aftershocks, floods, rebellions, and plagues ran in at this time, and it was simply an old birthday star drinking arsenic and looking for death.

Nine deaths and one life are not enough to describe, almost ten deaths and no life, and nine out of ten lives have to be accounted for in it.

But no one dared to ask Emperor Hongzhi to retract his will.

As a father, his son is in deep danger; As the emperor, the life and death of the prince of the Ming Dynasty are uncertain.

Emperor Hongzhi's mood was in an extremely unstable state, and the whole person was also in a crazy and treacherous mental state.

Standing on the edge of the cliff of collapse all the time, the slightest spark may cause the emperor to collapse, making both emotions and spirits jump off the cliff.

This can be seen by anyone who has no bad brain, and no one dares to stimulate him.

Now the emperor still maintains a sense of sanity, knowing that he has too much to do with what the world wants. The crown prince is already uncertain about his life and death, once he, the emperor, is lost, the Ming Society will be overturned in an instant.

But if it is a stimulus, I am afraid that the emperor will have to personally serve as this minister and go to the disaster area, and then he will have to move the entire court together.

Therefore, everyone can only pin their hopes on Li Dongyang, hoping that this old man can read in the eyes of his colleagues, and not choose himself.

As soon as he got up, a large number of people rushed up and began to shush at Li Dongyang.

It is also the support of the nephews in the later life, and the appreciation of calligraphy and painting at home.

"Now that Gong Li has received His Majesty's will, it is still necessary to select some young and strong people for this disaster relief, so that they can become Gong Li's help. Han opened the door of convenience, and those waiters in my household department were selected by Li Gong. ”

"Binzhi, the old man is also half of your mentor, according to the old man's opinion, you don't have to choose after the age of fifty. Disaster relief is a big deal and full of dangers, so it is better to choose some young ones, so that it can be a big deal. ”

"Yes, people over the age of 50 are old and frail, and going to disaster relief is not only difficult to help, but also a drag. The younger generations in the old man's military department are selected by Binzhi, as long as Binzhi likes it, the old man has no two words, only one word, in. ”

“.”

The six ministries of the cabinet, these ministers' ministries, all of them are over half a hundred years old, and they can't be selected at the age of fifty, but those waiters from each ministry are in a hurry.

The left and right attendants of the military department looked at Ma Wensheng's eyes with grievances, I am waiting to take you as my boss, and you use us as a letter ball?

"Elder Li Ge, according to the opinion of the lower officials, the candidates for this disaster relief need to be carefully selected. Only ministers can become the elders' helpers, and in case of trouble, there is also a person to discuss with Elder Li. ”

“.”

Listen to the gossip of these people, and the various promises made before, all kinds of benefits.

Li Dongyang was just expressionless, his colleagues' boats had already capsized, and he couldn't wait to pull all the senior officials of the six cabinet ministries.

But he also knew that this was absolutely impossible, if all these ministers of the court and the central government were taken away, the entire Ming court would be paralyzed in an instant.

What's more, these people are also very old, almost all of them are sixty or seventy years old, and there are eighty or ninety years old, and he is a young person in his fifties.

Take these old vegetable gangs with you, maybe a few will die before you get to the place, who can take care of who at that time?

"When I went to Puzhou, the situation was serious, and it involved the prince of the country; This trip is difficult, and it is a huge responsibility, and the person selected must be the top priority. He also asked the yamen of each ministry to discuss one or two, and selected some capable people to go with the old man. ”

Li Dongyang looked at the scorching sun in the southeast, his eyes were half-closed, "The old man is waiting in the cabinet duty room and leaving in the afternoon." ”

The Hongzhi Emperor in this chapter looks a little weird and inappropriate, but it is actually reasonable.

A person who hasn't slept all night, experiences emotional ups and downs, and worries about his son in his heart, the whole person will be in a feeling like crazy, but he must restrain his reason.

For example, when I wrote that Emperor Hongzhi laughed, it was the kind of innoying laughter, which meant that this person was no longer normal at this time.
