In the Zichen Palace, the current emperor Li Guanghao threw a book on the table and suddenly coughed violently.

Gonggong Xu, who was standing on the side and serving, hurriedly brought a bowl of medicinal soup and helped Li Guanghao take it.

After drinking the medicinal soup, Li Guanghao felt that his throat was much more comfortable, and waved his hand to let Gonggong Xu take the medicine down.

At this time, there were still a few people standing in the room, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Li Guanghao.

"Father, your health is important, so let's leave these things to my son. Li Chengye stood at the front of everyone, after all, he was the eldest prince, and he didn't dare to speak like others, seeing Li Guanghao's appearance, he said to his father with concern.

Li Guanghao nodded and said, "It's okay, my body is fine, come here, go and call the second prince immediately." ”

After a while, Li Cheng'an hurried to the Zichen Palace, and as soon as he walked into the house, he felt that the air was a little dignified, which made him also lower his head and dare not speak more.

At this time, more than half a month had passed since Li Cheng'an recovered 10 million taels of disaster relief silver from Luoyang, which was originally a secret mission assigned to him by Li Guanghao, but when he transported 10 million taels of silver back to Chang'an City, his deeds immediately spread in the city.

Li Guanghao was also very satisfied with Li Cheng'an's performance, and praised him greatly in front of the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty.

Therefore, at this time, when Li Chengan walked into the room, the ministers who were standing did not raise their heads, but they all cast respectful glances at him.

"Erchen greets his father!" Li Chengan walked up to Li Guanghao and bowed.

Li Guanghao waved his hand to signal that there was no need to be polite, and then asked Gonggong Xu to hand the stack of folds on the table to Li Chengan.

Li Chengan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened it to check it, and was startled after reading it.

The twists and turns come from different places, but they are all concentrated in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The content of the recital is surprisingly consistent, and they all only say one thing, the aftermath of the Yangtze River flood.

It turned out that not only Qingshui Town, but also many other places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River had disasters of different sizes, although not as great as the previous floods, but also for the already devastated disaster area.

Many homes that had been rebuilt with great painstaking efforts were destroyed overnight.

Houses can be rebuilt if they are destroyed, but it is difficult to restore them if they are destroyed.

The biggest blow to the victims of this aftermath was in their hearts, stabbing their already fragile hearts again.

Although Li Chengan did not come to the scene in person, he knew that the people there must be very bitter, and they were very resentful, complaining, and even more resentful of the imperial court.

Seeing that Li Cheng'an had finished reading all the recitals, Li Guanghao snorted coldly, and said with anger on his face: "The people are suffering, and what are you parents and officials doing? Drinking old wine, rubbing mahjong, and visiting the green house?"

"A mere Shangzhou Thorn Historian has the best night pearls hidden in his home that are not even in my Imperial Treasure Pavilion, so there must be better things hidden in your people's homes, right?"

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

After listening to Li Guanghao's words, all the ministers fell to their knees together and shouted loudly.

Li Guanghao's sharp gaze swept over everyone, making everyone feel tight, and their underwear was all soaked with cold sweat.

"Since the last 10 million taels of disaster relief money has been recovered, then we have to continue to use it, I have decided to increase the amount of disaster relief to 20 million taels, but I don't have much money in the treasury, only 5 million taels more, so the remaining 5 million taels have to be handed over to everyone here. ”

After listening to Li Guanghao's words, several ministers immediately looked at each other and were speechless, but the embarrassment in their eyes was overflowing.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Guanghao snorted coldly: "Give you three days, if you can't raise it, then I have to go to Aiqing's house one by one to sit down." ”

"Obey the Divine Commandment!"

As soon as Li Guanghao's words fell, the ministers immediately kowtowed to the ground and said in unison.

"Okay, get up, as long as you do your best for me, I don't have time to care about some small things, but what I just said is a big thing, don't think about making small moves under my nose. ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" After speaking, the ministers slowly stood up and stepped aside, as if there was a thousand pounds of weight around their necks, their heads were so low that they were almost parallel to their shoulders, and they didn't dare to lift half a point.

"In this disaster relief, I decided to appoint Cheng An as the imperial historian and personally be responsible for the escort of the disaster silver, so after you prepare the silver, you will contact Cheng An, and you don't need to trouble me again. ”

Hearing Li Guanghao's words, Li Chengan was stunned, a little unable to believe his ears, and just wanted to speak, he saw Li Guanghao raise his right hand and stop him.

"Have you all heard clearly, and if you have heard clearly, then stand down and prepare your money. ”

In this way, after the ministers bowed to Li Guanghao, they slowly withdrew from the hall, only to find that everyone's foreheads were covered with beads of sweat.

They looked at each other, shook their heads, did not speak, and hurried away.

There are only two people left in the Zichen Palace, Li Chengan and Li Chengye.

Li Guanghao glanced at Li Chengye and said, "You should go down first." ”

Li Chengye bowed slightly, and also obeyed the order to withdraw from the door.

When he closed the door with his backhand, he only felt that his hands were trembling slightly.

Seeing that everyone had left, Li Chengan asked Li Guanghao softly: "Father, those silver are very important, and the child is afraid that he will not be able to take on this heavy responsibility and harm those poor people." ”

Li Guanghao looked at Li Cheng'an and smiled faintly: "Cheng An, for what you just said, I believe you will be able to take on the heavy responsibility." ”

After speaking, he took a sip of tea and said to himself: "A king who cares about his people is a good king." ”

Hearing Li Guanghao's words, Li Chengan's face tightened, his heartbeat accelerated instantly, and something he had never thought of quietly crept into his heart.

Next, Li Guanghao briefly explained a few words to Li Cheng'an, and with the experience of the past, the arrangements for the transportation of disaster relief money this time were very strict, and it even made Wuya Pavilion Bailiying send several masters, led by Gao Sheng, to be responsible for escorting.

This series of arrangements also made Li Chengan feel a lot more at ease, and finally accepted the mission happily.

Next, it took only one day for the ministers to collect 5 million pieces of silver, and the mighty disaster relief team set off from Chang'an under the leadership of Li Cheng'an to the disaster area.

In addition to the imperial court, many enthusiastic wealthy businessmen in various places also reached out to help and spontaneously donated money to send their love and contribute to the people in the disaster area.

This includes Yunkang of Chase Bank.

Since the collapse of Bing, Chase has returned to the No. 1 position, and business is more vigorous than before.

So this time, Yunkang also took out 100,000 taels of silver, and Yun Danhong personally escorted him to the disaster area to relieve the people.

Of course, this escort task was won by Yun Danhong, he was actually very reluctant to stay in Datong Qianzhuang to take care of Qianzhuang's affairs, he just wanted to take advantage of this escort mission to find an opportunity to sneak away and return to Wudang Mountain.

In this way, disaster relief funds continue to depart from all over the country and rush to the Yangtze River disaster area.
