No one spoke, and Mrs. Gu spoke: "The minister is guilty, but the top priority is to find a way to fight the flood and provide disaster relief." ”

Emperor Yaozhen has always respected Gu Taifu, but at this moment, he threw the song to the ground, "Disaster relief, disaster relief, I use you to say, what time is it, is there a way to provide disaster relief?" I would like to ask you, the imperial court allocated 2 million taels of silver for the river embankment that was repaired two years ago, why it has only been more than a year, and it can't even stop the flood season. Why is it all good in other places, just one state in Zhaozhou. ”

"Lin Zhiyuan, what do you do to eat."

Lin Zhiyuan's lips and beard moved together, in July, it was raining and sweltering, and his sweat was running down his neck, but he didn't dare to wipe it, and the two servants of the Ministry of Works lowered their heads.

There was silence in the imperial study, and Lin Zhiyuan said: "Your Majesty, the embankment was built two years ago, and it was safe and sound during the flood season last year. The minister didn't know why...... This year's flood season has flooded several counties. ”

He still doesn't know how many counties there are, maybe a dozen, maybe a few.

Zhao Kang didn't speak, he hesitated what to say in order to save Lin Zhiyuan, but he listened to Mrs. Gu and said: "Your Majesty, in May this year, the county order of Qinghua County, Zhaozhou, wrote a report that there were several cracks in the embankment of the Qinghua River, a tributary of the Zhaojiang River, and some of them had been eaten by insects and ants. ”

"The county order of Qinghua County, it is also very rare to go to Shengjing for an excerpt." Gu Taifu knelt down and said, "The minister went to ask Lin Shangshu at that time, and Lin Shangshu reprimanded the minister for not understanding the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. ”

Gu Taifu: "The minister was derelict in his duties, and he thought that only Qinghua County had such a thing, so he thought that it would be fine to repair the embankment in advance, but he didn't expect that when the flood season came, several counties in Zhaozhou were flooded." ”

If there is an accident in a county, it may be a slight negligence on the part of the Ministry of Industry when repairing the embankment, but several counties in Zhaozhou have had accidents.

Two years ago, only Zhaozhou needed to repair the dams, and the Zhaojiang River and its tributaries did not pass through all the prefectures and counties in the province, mainly Qinghua County and Qingyi County...... Dozens of county seats.

Now all the accidents are not caused by the negligence of the Ministry of Works.

Emperor Yaozhen said: "I read the book, and it was not Qinghua County that had an accident. ”

Mrs. Gu hung his head and said, "I think it's the county order of Qinghua County that has already repaired the embankment, and from May to July, there is enough time." ”

Emperor Yaozhen said: "But he has a county order, and he didn't allocate money from above, how to build the embankment." ”

Mrs. Gu didn't mean to say good things for Yan Mingxuan, but he was indeed the county magistrate of Qinghua County, and these things really happened

"Back to the emperor, the county order of Qinghua County was born in the top three of the palace examination three years ago, and later he was released to Qinghua County to be the county order. He is the eldest son of Yan Guogong and a son of a family, and it is estimated that his family has given him a lot of silver. ”

The children of the family naturally have nothing to do with corruption and bribery, and Yan Guogong has already resigned from the government, and it will be three years soon, so it can only be said that the family is running well.

However, it is estimated that this is the only one who uses his own money to build dikes for the people.

This is the best news that Emperor Yaozhen has heard since he saw the song sent by the Zhaozhou Zhizhou.

His face was a little better, but the account that should be settled still had to be settled.

"Zhao Kang, as a doctor of imperial history, I don't believe you don't notice these things, you are in charge of the people below, and you should bear it if something happens." Emperor Yaozhen said, "I will give you a chance to atone for your guilt first, don't let me be disappointed again." ”

"Lin Zhiyuan, how many people in Zhaozhou have lost their lives and been displaced because of you, you won't know. Don't say that all the silver is used to repair the embankment, or do you want to say that a Yanguo Mansion is rich and rivals the country, and you can take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at once. ”

Emperor Yaozhen's voice has always been faint, and he is not shocked even when he is angry.

Lin Zhiyuan was dripping in a cold sweat, "The minister is guilty of dereliction of duty, but the minister really doesn't know ......"

"Enough, Zhaozhou still needs you now, but you should also think about it, how many heads do you have."

Coming out of the imperial study, the rain was a little heavier, Lin Zhiyuan seemed to have forgotten one thing, he glanced at Zhao Kang, and Zhao Kang also came back to his senses.

Mrs. Gu didn't look at the two of them, and left with an umbrella.

Lin Zhiyuan shuddered, "Lord Zhao...... Lord Zhao! ”

Zhao Kang also left, but he didn't have an umbrella, and now he doesn't have a relationship with Lin Zhiyuan, and when will he clear the relationship.

He was glad that Lin Zhiyuan had done a good deed.

If he can really marry the Yanguo Mansion or the Gu family, maybe there will be a chance for this matter to turn around, but when Zhao Kang goes back, the news he got is that Zhao Lu was arrested and entered the Imperial City Division for human trafficking.

Zhao Kang was angry and asked what was going on, but Zhao Lu didn't bring the little guy when he went out, how could the little guy know.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

Zhao Kang found that this relationship was incomprehensible, Lin Zhiyuan was greedy for the money to build the embankment, and he also got a piece of the pie, including the account book, people like Lin Zhiyuan will definitely bite everyone out in the end.

Besides, now that there is the maid of the Lin family, it would be good if it was successful, but now the matter is exposed......

He instructed his entourage to go to the Imperial City Division, dispose of the maid as soon as possible, and wanted to take Zhao Lu back, but it had been almost an hour, where could he still pick up people, and the entourage didn't even see Zhao Lu's face.

*

After Gu Yan saw Yan Mingqiao, he sent her back to the Gongfu Mansion, and he also entered the mansion to say a few words to the Shen family.

Shen waited all night before relieving his heart.

After sending Gu Yan away, she bowed to the Bodhisattva on the cabinet, there are so many things this month, there is something wrong with Mingqiao here, and Yan Mingxuan......

Shen remembered that Xu Jingshu was giving birth in June, and she should have given birth to the child at this time, but Yan Mingxuan hadn't written from her side for a month, so it stands to reason that the letter should have arrived at this time.

What the hell is going on.

It wasn't until two days later that Shen learned that it had rained heavily in Zhaozhou, and many places had been flooded.

She covered her heart and didn't ease up for a while, but when she asked the maid, the maid only knew about it, but she didn't know anything about where it was raining heavily in Zhaozhou and where it was flooded.

Shengjing is still more than 2,000 miles away from the south, so far away, I really don't know anything.

And Gu Taifu was so busy with the flood in Zhaozhou that he didn't think to tell the Yanguo Mansion about it, because he rarely told his family about the affairs of the court.

After all, Yan Mingxuan is fine, and it is estimated that he can make a contribution because of this.

So Mrs. Gu quickly put this matter behind.

Yan Mingqiao was also taken aback, so she wrote to Gu Mian and asked her to follow Gu Yan to inquire. After all, now that her second brother is also going to work, Yan Mingqiao knows someone who is still in the court, so she is closer to Gu Yan.

She also wrote to the Marquis of Jing'an and her sister-in-law's mother-in-law's Anyang Marquis Mansion, and inquired about them, as long as there was news, she could know.

Fortunately, there was good news.

Qinghua County is fine, although there is a tributary of the Zhaojiang River, the Qinghua River, passing through the county, but nothing happens.

Shen knew that Qinghua County had not been flooded by the rain, and his heart could be regarded as a reality.

However, she felt that with Yan Mingxuan's character, as long as nothing happened, her ancestors would bless her, so it was naturally impossible to think that Yan Mingxuan could still make a meritorious contribution.

Shen felt that the reason why he didn't write was because it had been raining heavily for days and it was difficult to deliver the letter.

It is estimated that the child has been born, but I don't know if it is a man or a woman, the situation over there is not good, and the Shen family has to find some way to send something over there, which is also a month to send silver, but I don't know if it is enough to spend.

Yan Mingqiao was also happy, she said to the Shen family: "I don't know what we can do for disaster relief, if we can donate some silver, it would be good." ”

Shen said: "I'll ask someone about this matter, can I think of a way." However, it was a time of peace and prosperity, and the previous years had been a bumper harvest year, and the treasury was full, and there was certainly no shortage of silver for disaster relief. You, don't worry too much about this, by the way, did Zhao Lu go back? ”

Yan Mingqiao shook his head at the Shen family, "No, it should still be in the Imperial City Division." However, I asked Lin Xiang to go to the Lin family and the British Mansion to see, and the mansion was fine. These people who are officials, officials and officials are inclined to each other, and power and power protect each other, there is really nothing good. ”

It's just that the Zhao family didn't get Zhao Lu out, and I don't know what the final result was.

Now Yan Mingqiao can only comfort herself, as long as Zhao Lu is not released, it will be good news for her.

The maid called Painted is now fatherless and motherless, and everyone wants to live, especially after what she wants to do is not done.

Moreover, the Imperial City Division's methods of examining prisoners are not something ordinary people can think of, and she has explained all kinds of things.

Even if the British government is not involved now, the Lin family has not run away.

The Shen family still has to find a time to go to the Lin family to help Yan Mingze retire his family.

Let's take the rest of the rest.

But when the Shen family went, the Lin family had been closed and no one was seen, and it was clear that her daughter went to see it a few days ago, and the house was fine.

Yan Mingze didn't know what was going on, the Hanlin Academy didn't care about this kind of major event in the DPRK and China, he just heard that several county towns in Zhaozhou were flooded, and it had a lot to do with the Ministry of Industry.

Now Lin Zhiyuan doesn't seem to be in Shengjing.

The Lin family may have an accident.

Yan Guogong Mansion came over at this time, the Lin family would definitely not withdraw from his family, Yan Mingze took a deep breath, he had to withdraw from his relatives no matter what.

The Shen family had to retreat because he had promised Yan Mingze, and at this time, he was involved with the Lin family, which did not benefit the Yan Guo Mansion.

The Lin family will never close the door for a lifetime.

Shen said: "If you are an official in the court, as long as you are not careful, you will fall to the ground, so you can do it yourself in the future." ”

Yan Mingze nodded, with a chill in his heart, fortunately he didn't get married, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get married.

However, in this way, his official position in the Hanlin Academy could not be kept.

Yan Mingze thought to himself, no wonder Lin Zhiyuan wanted to take advantage of the British Mansion, and the Imperial Doctor was in charge of the supervision of officials, as long as he could suppress this matter, the emperor would not be able to see it.

said that there was no benefit, just for Lin Yuwan, and said that he couldn't swallow this breath, and he wanted to ensure that his official luck was prosperous...... Both of these people crossed the river in mud, and they could not protect themselves.

Yan Mingze was glad that he finally chose the right one, and he said: "What my mother taught, but in this way, I know why the Lin family and the British Mansion want to attack the fifth sister and Gu Xiaoniang." ”

Shen didn't expect that on this level, Jing Yan Mingze suddenly became enlightened when he said this.

Lin Zhiyuan wanted to beg Zhao Kang to do something, but Zhao Kang estimated that it was even more unclean, so he wanted to reach out to the Yanguo Mansion, preferably the Gu family.

Shen didn't quite understand the things in the court, all she could think of was this, and she couldn't say what she was grateful to Yan Mingze, in short, this time it was thanks to him.

But if you want to go back to the Yanguo Mansion, it is impossible.

As for Yan Mingze's future path, as long as it does not hinder the Guogong Mansion.

By the end of July, Shen had finally received a letter from Qinghua County, in which Xu Jingshu said that she had given birth to a son in early June, whose name had not yet been named.

And Yan Mingxuan was very busy for a while, and followed the disaster relief minister of the imperial court to Linxian County to build a dam.

Xu Jingshu wrote in the letter that the rain in Qinghua County was not light, but the embankment in Qinghua County was repaired more than a month ago, and it cost money from the family, so it was not flooded.

Although Yan Mingxuan didn't do anything big, and he didn't use particularly smart methods, he really thought about the people.

It is estimated that it will not be long before I will not be a county magistrate in Qinghua County.

The appointment documents of the court have not yet come down, but the Minister of Disaster Relief has praised Yan Mingxuan, and many officials have been appointed and dismissed in the past half a month, and it is likely that Yan Mingxuan has risen to the top.

Even if she is still a county magistrate in Qinghua County, Xu Jingshu is quite willing, don't look at the poverty of this place, but the people are simple, and Yan Mingxuan is respected by the people, even her.

After reading the letter, Shen was overjoyed.

When Yan Guogong came back, he immediately handed the fold to the court and asked Yan Mingxuan to inherit the title.

Chapter 130: September

Shen was really happy this time, and gave the Bodhisattva three sticks of incense and a new tribute.

She has always felt that Yan Mingxuan's son is stable and sincere, but she doesn't know how to be flexible, he may not be able to operate in the officialdom, and he doesn't know how to dredge up the relationship, so he definitely doesn't have Yan Mingze like a fish in water.
