Xia Yuanji was stunned, and also realized that the big one was coming,

Hurry up,

"Got it, Your Highness,

Wechen will pack up his things. ”

Yang Shiqi asked on the side,

"Your Highness, what about me?"

Zhu Xiongying asked,

"Have you been busy lately?"

Yang Shiqi shook his head again and again,

"Not busy, not busy."

Yang Shiqi is indeed not busy, and the busiest time of the Ministry of Rites is concentrated in the first half of the year.

"Okay, you follow."

Yang Shiqi sighed and hurriedly went to pack his things.

Zhu Xiongying had a gloomy face, walked out of the house, and walked away looking for the sound of drums.

The officials in the outer palace basically poked their heads out, and Jiang Zhen flashed behind Zhu Xiongying,

Zhu Xiongying walked towards the Dengwen drum, only to see a person fainting in front of the drumstick holding the drumstick.

He says it's a person, but it doesn't look like a person.

Covered in mud and smelling foul,

The hair sticks to the face, and the body is worn with a few rags.

but

Zhu Xiongying recognized these rags,

Daming's official uniform!

Zhu Xiongying squatted down, turned the person over and held him in his arms,

"Your Highness!

It's so dirty! Let the subordinates come down! ”

Jiang Zheng was just about to stretch out his hand to stop him, but was stopped by Zhu Xiongying with a look,

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

The refugee felt something, and opened his eyes,

In front of him is His Royal Highness the Holy Sun of the Ming Dynasty.

This man was in a trance for a while, and he didn't know if he was hallucinating or real.

This person's voice was hoarse like two pieces of pig iron grinding, so that Zhu Xiongying couldn't tell who it was at all.

"Get some water."

Zhu Xiongying looked sideways at Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan hurriedly went to get water,

"Your Highness, the water is coming!"

Jiang Xuan's body was light, and it didn't take more than a dozen breaths to get water, and Zhu Xiongying hurriedly handed the water over,

The man took it, and poured it down.

"Your Highness, woo woo woo, Jiangnan is all ruined!"

After drinking the water, the man's voice became much clearer,

Zhu Xiongying finally heard who it was,

"European scientific name?!"

Hongwu sixteen years of Jinshi, the representative of the southern students in the palace examination,

He was born in a large family, well-educated, talented and virtuous,

has been appointed as Linjiang Mansion, a proper place leader.

But the person in front of him who was like a refugee couldn't make Zhu Xiongying unable to match the handsome boy in his mind.

Zhu Xiongying fed Ou Scientific Name a pill, and Ou Scientific Name's spirit also recovered a little.

"Your Highness..."

Ou Xueming looked at Zhu Xiongying and choked up,

"Your Highness, Weichen is worthy of your reuse!"

Zhu Xiongying forcibly suppressed his emotions,

Reassured,

"What the hell is going on, you tell me slowly."

Ou Xueming's eyes flashed with horror,

"Water, it's all water! O monstrous water!

Since the beginning of autumn, it has rained heavily for half a month in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Poyang Lake and other lakes have been completely blown up, and there is no water storage at all.

The flood broke through all the dikes in one night!

All the state capitals in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were affected!

It's hell right now! ”

Jiang Xuan's eyes widened on the side, and his hands and feet were cold when he listened,

According to the European scientific name of the foot,

Jiangnan has been affected for a long time!

There is no news in the capital!

Zhu Xiongying clenched her back molars and squeezed out of her teeth word by word.

"How is this possible?! Such a massive disaster!

You officials, can you hide it?! ”

Ou Xueming's face was full of ashes, and he said with a wry smile,

"Your Highness, you don't know, we have the right to talk about the local surface, but in fact, we can't manage things at all!

The whole place in the south of the Yangtze River is controlled by those big clans like iron buckets!

As soon as the flood occurred, we, the court officials, were brought under control!

We don't report to the capital, and the refugees who were affected by the disaster can't report to the capital!

Wechen... Weichen also deceived his family, so he ran out and went to Beijing to report the news. ”

Zhu Xiongying's eyes were complicated when he heard this, and Ou Xueming was also a son of a big family, so he was in a very embarrassing situation.

He can sneak out and summon the interrogation, which is already the best he can!

But

Zhu Xiongying is now more angry in his heart,

Jiangnan was hit by natural disasters, and they dared to hide it and not report it!

Even if they hide this thing, how long can they hide it?!

It's a matter of time before the stuffing is exposed!

However, if one more day is delayed, countless people will die!

In ancient times, when the communication method was single and complicated, they were really forced to hide it!

As the name of Ou said, those refugees have a hard time protecting themselves, how can they go to Beijing for interrogation?

And a group of officials, who were controlled for the first time, really forcibly held down such a big bomb!

Jiang Zhen was on the side, frowning and said,

"Your Highness, your subordinates don't understand, why are they hiding this?"

Zhu Xiongying was silent,

Indeed, as Jiang Zhen said, this is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.

It has nothing to do with these big rich families, what are they going to do with holding it down so hard?!

Moreover, it is a matter of time before it is discovered, once it is discovered by Hong Wuye, everyone has to move their heads,

What the hell are they going to do at such a big risk?!

Ou Xueming's face was full of struggle,

Gritted his teeth and said,

"Jiangnan has a big secret."

"The big secret?"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Ou Xueming and said in astonishment.

Ou nodded his head,

"I don't know what it is.

Anyway, they are extremely resistant to the people of the capital entering the south of the Yangtze River.

After suffering such a big disaster, it is inevitable that people will come from the capital, so they can only hide it and think about it in the long run. ”

Would you rather carry such a big thunder than keep a secret?!

Zhu Xiongying was a little dizzy,

Asked

"Then after grandpa found out about this, didn't he have to go down to Jiangnan?!

It's just a matter of time!

Will they be so stupid?! ”

Ou Xueming smiled bitterly,

"Hong Wuye won't know."

Zhu Xiongying's eyes widened slowly.

"Your Highness,

Hong Wuye has been to Jiangnan once since the second year of Hongwu, and he has not been to Jiangnan for seventeen years.

The Beijing official who governed Jiangnan before was Yang Xian, and that trip was enough for the Jiangnan Shi clan.

Yang Xian is a person from the eastern Zhejiang faction and a person from Liu Bowen.

Hu Weiyong fought against Yang Xian, and behind it was the strength of the Jiangnan Shi clan.

His Majesty has been in the capital, and the method of understanding the place is nothing more than an excerpt and some numbers,

No matter how wise Your Majesty is, as long as you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never know what the situation in Jiangnan is.

What are the people? The people are numbers!

As long as the taxes they should pay are not less, Your Majesty will not find out the problem!

After suffering this catastrophe, the Jiangnan Shi clan paid money to make up the taxes of those who died, and they were paid correctly.

If the tax is not wrong, these dead people will not be found. ”

Jiang Zhen was completely stupid on the side,

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it can be said that I have never seen anything dirty and dark.

but

Compared to this matter, it is completely insignificant,

Jiangnan announced that the political envoys united to cover up the flood?!

The most terrifying thing is that

Jiang Zhen thought about it carefully, and the method that Ou Xueming said seemed to be indeed no problem!

As long as they want to, they can really make His Majesty never know about it!
