Outside the Qianqing Palace, lightning and thunder roared, and the rain fell even more, and the sound of the rain even overshadowed the roar of the emperor in the imperial study.

The people who served in the palace were far away, even if they wanted to know what the emperor and Xiao Wenjun had secretly discussed, they didn't dare to come forward, so as not to be angry by the Lanling County Lord who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, although His Majesty hadn't been angry for a long time, they didn't believe that the Son of Heaven was easy to talk to.

But inside the temple was a different story.

After the emperor's role was finished, he sat on the dragon chair for a long time, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and lifted his eyelids slightly, "Okay, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." ”

After eating, I didn't even drink a sip of tea, and I started to perform hard, which was really tiring.

Doing a full set of plays, Xiao Wenjun knelt in the empty hall at the moment, his back was straight, and his voice was calm.

"Your Majesty, the flood in Jiangnan is more serious than what the local government reported, and the 15,000 stone grain and grass escorted are nowhere to be found, and more than half of the officers and soldiers escorted are killed or wounded, this matter has caused panic, can you raise grain and grass in a short period of time, and find someone who is willing to escort it?"

"The granaries in several nearby counties are empty, and it is inevitable to transfer grain from farther states and counties, which takes time and goes through twists and turns, and it will take 10 days at the earliest, but these 10 days are enough for many things to happen, and if there is a riot and the displaced people are scattered, it will be even more difficult to control."

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes really changed, and he looked at her with more inquiring eyes.

Xiao Wenjun took the opportunity to continue: "The courtiers can make a military order, not to control the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and come to see Your Majesty!" ”

"What the hell are you going to do?" Emperor Long Yan loosened, and finally began to face up to what Xiao Wenjun said.

"Since the beginning of this month, the eldest brother and his courtiers who are far away in Lanling have written frequently, and the letter mentions that the eldest brother has many granaries in Lanling, all of which are old grains that he hoarded in the past year after he returned to Lanling, which should be able to temporarily solve the urgent need in Jiangnan."

"Lanling and Jiangnan, thousands of miles apart, how can we save the emergency?" The emperor was a little discouraged, and he really couldn't expect too much from the girl in front of him, although she had always performed well, but in the face of natural disasters, people were like ants.

"The team delivering grain has already set off from Lanling half a month ago, and it will arrive in Jiangnan in a few days." Xiao Wenjun wants to put this credit on the head of the eldest brother.

In just one sentence, listening to the emperor's ears, it is like a heavenly sound. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong.

"I just received the news of the robbery of the grain team today, how can you deploy in advance? What do you want to do with so much food? Then why is it that your food team is safe and sound, and I haven't even received the slightest news before this? ”

The emperor is suspicious, Xiao Wenjun can understand it very well.

The emperor's eyes were heavy, he looked at Xiao Wenjun, and threw out several questions in one breath.

Xiao Wenjun's face was still unfazed, and he replied one by one: "The ancestor of the Xiao family, as a citizen of Daqi, must shoulder the responsibility of serving the country and the people, and the eldest brother is even more responsible. Therefore, after knowing that there was a heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River and a hidden danger of disaster, the eldest brother organized a grain team. ”

"The eldest brother and the courtiers don't have the ability to be prophets, some just have a patriotic heart and do their best to do the Xiao family's modest efforts."

"Why is the eldest brother in Lanling to store grain, this is better explained. The grain handed over to the border army by the military department was only 12/12 of the stones mixed at the beginning, and now it is even more blatant, more than half of the military food is mixed with stones, and in the long run, the border guards are not full, where is the strength to stop Xiliang's iron cavalry? ”

"The Xiao family has paid out of their own pockets for many years, and these grains are prepared for the border guards!"

Xiao Wenjun's words were to dig a hole for the military department. Although Xiao Daocheng did not have the name of the military department Shangshu in the list, with the memories of her previous life and the investigation of the Shadow Pavilion after returning to Beijing, it was a sure thing that he killed his parents!

What's more, the military department is still the power of Yu Wenyao hidden in the shadows, and he is the biggest dragon hero who helped him ascend the throne in his previous life.

Of course, she didn't expect the emperor to listen to only one side of her, but this planted a seed in the emperor's heart, and if he had the heart to investigate, it would definitely come to light.

After hearing her words, the emperor really thought about it, "You go on." ”

"The eldest brother's food team is carried out in secret, and the escorts are all veterans who have retired from the border battlefield, and they are homeless, so the Xiao family has been sheltering and placing these old and weak soldiers, and it has been a habit for many years."

"Because they have been on the real battlefield, and they are not the same as those soldiers who have never seen blood."

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, Xiao Wenjun scolded him in a crook, and even said that the young and strong officers and soldiers under his command were not as good as the old and weak soldiers of the Xiao family.

However, he was even more ashamed in his heart, the soldiers who were replaced from the border battlefield every year, the imperial court was the most headache, not only could not be re-employed, but the compensation was a large amount of silver, and how they were resettled, basically in the mutual blame.

My misunderstanding of the Xiao family is too deep!

The emperor once again looked seriously at the thin girl in front of him, her bearing was calm, her little face was full of stubbornness, such a contradictory point, but it was so harmonious in her.

At first, because she was from the Xiao family and was engaged to her most unfavored son, she was somewhat prejudiced against her, and then she frequently heard rumors about her in the market, and there were even topics related to her in the palace.

It is indeed different to make the women in the palace who think very highly of themselves show their admiration for her, but it does not reach the height of the pride of the sky, and then she walked in front of her from the rumors.

amazed himself again and again, saved his life three times and twice, and even his sons were difficult to compare.

Nowadays, as a woman, she has a mind that worries about the country and the people!

"For the time being, you have solved the food matter, but what are your plans for post-disaster reconstruction and the control of the displaced people?" The emperor asked, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"All the regulations on repairing rivers, embankments, bridges and other projects, relocating displaced people, and preventing epidemics are listed on this excerpt."

After that, Xiao Wenjun presented an excerpt, which contained maps of Jiangnan and several nearby provinces.

The concise and concise list of the rules and regulations on the fold is only an effective method at first glance, and there are red pen sketches on the map, which circles the areas with the highest frequency of homeless people over the years, and the areas where exposure and epidemic may occur are circled, and the annotations are written concisely in small characters.

There are also infrastructure fortifications, and the location of important traffic is also marked, which is very detailed.

The emperor watched for a long time, and the hand holding the fold trembled with excitement. The eyes that looked at Xiao Wenjun were even more different, "These are all what you thought of?" ”

"It was after the courtiers and the eldest brother discussed that they came up with such a plan to control the water." Xiao Wenjun's expression still did not change. added in his heart: There is also Yu Wenyao, it took him a whole few months to get out, and now he has been intercepted by himself, and he feels very happy when he thinks about it!

This pampered and unfazed bearing, in the eyes of the emperor, made him appreciate her even more.

"You have done a good job in this matter, the content on the excerpt will be transmitted to various provinces, and many copies of the map will be copied and transmitted to Jiangnan and neighboring states and counties, as for the credit, ...... credit."

"Your Majesty, the courtiers don't dare to ask for credit, they just want to save the people from fire and water as soon as possible."

"Good!" The emperor didn't care about Xiao Wenjun's merits, and his impression of the Xiao family was getting better and better, so he said: "After the matter is completed, on the day you return, I will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"The lintel of the Xiao family is now lower, and it will be restored to the title of prince when the time comes."

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have a reluctant request, this is going to Jiangnan, there are a lot of obstacles, and please give Your Majesty a sword of Shangfang, I can play better."

Speak so directly? The emperor did eat her, "But! Later, I will send Gonggong An to the county lord's mansion with a secret decree. ”

If such a bright sword is taken out by you, then today's drama will be in vain. However, she reminded herself that the obstacles in her mouth came not only from the local government squires and tyrants, but also from Kyoto, and it was time for Gong Weisi to investigate carefully.

……

In the emperor's roar, Xiao Wenjun left the Qianqing Palace in embarrassment.

"Within three days, you will get out of the capital!"
