Chapter 072: What should I do if disaster victims gather outside the capital?

That's disobedience, disrespect, and capital sin.

The Xuanzheng Hall is full of officials above the fifth grade, and the head is not kicked stupidly by the donkey, at this time, you carry it hard, it is no different from looking for death.

"Secretaries, please."

Yuan Zhi exhaled, he cleared his throat with a smile, and then continued to preside over the meeting.

"Just now, the court discussed military affairs, Da Sima and other military matters, and in the next court discussion, Lone thinks that it should be a disaster relief matter, what do you want?"

As soon as the prince's voice fell, a third-grade official came out of the ranks.

He said in a deep voice:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, hundreds of thousands of victims have poured into the suburbs of the capital, these people come from Henan, Hebei, Huai and other places, and they are hungry and anxious after a long journey for several months, and a civil uprising may occur at any time."

"Who are you and what is your position?"

"Weichen is Jingzhao Yin Su Zhesi, please make a clear decision."

"Where are the victims now?" Yuan Zhi said anxiously.

"At present, a large number of disaster victims are gathered, mainly in the area of Fengyi County and Ba County, which is the closest to the capital, less than 20 miles." Su Zhesi said.

As soon as this recital came out, the entire court was boiling, and there was a sigh from ear to ear.

When Yuan Zhi heard this, he was furious.

"Hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, fleeing from many disaster areas outside the capital, begging the Son of Heaven to save them, why has no one reported the matter?"

He stared at Su Zhesi with burning eyes, "Su Qing, I came to ask you, how long have these hundreds of thousands of disaster victims been gathered outside the capital?" ”

Seeing the prince's thunderous anger, everyone was afraid, and maybe the head on his neck would not be protected.

Su Zhesi's face turned pale, and his lips trembled, "It was more than a month before and after, and at first there were only a few hundred thousands, and slowly... The more you get together, the more you get... All of a sudden, it became uncontrollable..."

As he was talking, a thousand Niu Wei stepped into the hall and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness Qi, a partial general in the left camp of the forbidden army outside the palace said that there is an urgent military report. ”

I heard that there is an emergency military situation, and Yuan Zhitou is about to explode, "Quickly pass it, please enter the palace to play." ”

After only a while, the general hurriedly ran into the hall, "Your Highness, there was an incident of disaster victims besieging the barracks in front of the Beida camp on the outskirts of the city, and there were clashes between the two sides, and there have been many casualties. ”

The situation that Yuan Zhi least wants to see is still here.

He got up and walked down the jade steps, came to Cao Qichang, and said angrily:

"Cao Qing! How did the victims flee from the disaster area to the capital, and did the yamen of the imperial court and state capitals not block it, provide disaster relief, and make proper arrangements? What are the officials going to do with such inaction?! ”

Cao Qichang was coldly sprayed by the prince, his eyebrows were deeply locked for a while, his expression was very ugly, and he arched his hand:

"The old minister still doesn't know the inside story, so there must be a reason... Please calm your anger, this will not be difficult..."

"It's not difficult, why not do it in time?!" Yuan Zhi sneered angrily and said:

"The hundreds of thousands of people who are extremely hungry, as long as someone raises their arms and shouts, it is like a flame on dry firewood, which will burst into a mob with a bang, and the victims will suddenly transform into a mob.

"Historically, the improper pacification of the victims of disasters has provoked civil uprisings and directly caused chaos in the world. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of victims outside the city, which is completely a threat to the Jingshi! ”

Cao Qichang was speechless by Yuan Zhi, and his face was white and red.

He knew in advance that the victims had fled, and he also intended to let the state government yamen not stop him, but he didn't expect that this matter became uncontrollable, and the number of people far exceeded the estimated tens of thousands, which made him plan carefully and made a big omission.

"Where is Guo Aiqing?"

Yuan Zhi walked up to the jade step platform with a grim face, turned around and shouted.

"The minister is here!"

Guo Wei came out of the queue and arched his hand.

"If you are alone, you will go out of the city immediately, and order the two battalions of the forbidden army in the south and north to not take the initiative to kill the victims, but only to defend passively, and those who violate the order will not be killed."

"Obey."

"Where is Shi Aiqing of the household department?"

"Wechen is here." Shi Shenyi is listed.

"Alone, you urgently dispatched the disaster relief food out of the city, and together with Guo Dasima, at the front of the camp of the forbidden army in the north and south, quickly built a porridge factory and porridge shed to relieve the victims."

"Wechen obeys."

"Jingzhao Yin Su Zhesi."

"Micro... Wechen is in. Su Zhesi was so frightened that he fell to his knees, stunned.

He thought his fate was going to be over.

Yuan Zhi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, and lowered his voice slightly, "Su Zhesi listened to the order, and ordered all the officials and servants of Jing Zhaoyin to go out, obey the dispatch of Da Sima and Master Shi, quickly build a porridge factory, boil porridge, relieve the victims, stabilize the people's hearts, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Weichen obeys the order, and is willing to make up for it."

Su Zhesi, who was frightened, woke up like a dream, he promised loudly and kowtowed to thank him.

"Okay, let's all go down and do something." Yuan Zhi waved his hand.

"Yes."

Guo Wei took the lead in thanking him, and he took Shi Shenyi and Su Zhesi, two ministers, and strode out of the Xuanzheng Palace.

Behind him, there are several other generals and generals, all of whom are generals in his military hall, partial generals, and he is anxious to restart the military hall team.

Of course, the people in the Guo family will join in, and they must race against time to prevent the situation outside the city from deteriorating and forming a large-scale riot.

Between the lightning and the fire, in full view of everyone, the prince issued several orders, which shows that he is calm, has excellent adaptability, and is ruthless and decisive, which is really surprising and admirable, and is amazed by heaven.

Stepping out of the Xuanzheng Palace, Shi Shenyi arched to Guo Wei and said: "The lower officials first congratulated the Great Sima, and was promoted to the Grand Sima of the Military Hall. ”

Jing Zhaoyin also hurriedly agreed.

"The two adults don't have to be polite, it all depends on the wisdom and decisiveness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Guo Wei waved his hand, glanced back at the Xuanzheng Palace, and muttered:

"The prince of the prison country is so talented, the country is fortunate, and the people are fortunate!"

After speaking, the three of them briefly discussed, broke up, and went to prepare.

Speaking of which, back in the Xuanzheng Palace, the court discussion is not over yet.

Yuan Zhi suddenly remembered something, he opened his eyes and looked directly at Cao Qichang, "Cao Qing, I remember that the eldest prince of Cao is in the forbidden army outside the city, is it the northern camp or the southern camp?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the dog is in Beidaying."

"Beidaying... The main general, then the one who came to report just now is the partial general of the eldest prince Cao? ”

"Exactly."

Cao Qichang, who was scheming, actually felt that his hands were trembling slightly.

After more than a month, several major rounds of competition, Cao Qichang suddenly woke up to the fact that his side did not have a single victory.

Whether it was himself or his colleagues, they were all defeated in front of the prince, as if they had fallen under a spell.

Right now, from the prince's fleeting eyes, Cao Qichang suddenly felt that the prince might want to move the cornerstone of the forbidden army.

In the face of the sudden incident, he was already uncontrollable, and the prince's aggressive momentum, he could only pray that his eldest son, Cao Shuochun, would not faint.

Once Guo Wei finds any excuse, the power of the forbidden army's Beida battalion will be lost, and Cao Fu will completely lose the support of the forbidden army.

This is a loss that cannot be replaced.

Cao Qichang took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions.
