Chapter 339 Townspeople

After Wei Zhong saluted Bai Qing, he retreated behind Mother Jiang in a regular manner.

She looked at Wei Zhong, who had a low eyebrow and was pleasing to the eye, and knew that her grandmother was asking Wei Zhong to show his ability, so that she could accept Wei Zhong.

"Eunuch Wei is very useful. With you staying with grandma to take care of grandma in the future, we can feel at ease when we return to Shuoyang." Bai Qing said.

Mammy Jiang's lips moved. Before the Eldest Princess could speak to Bai Qing, she was blocked by Bai Qingyan's words. Mammy Jiang could only take Wei Zhong and salute and leave.

"Eldest sister..." Bai Jinzhi didn't understand, and looked sideways at Bai Qingyan, "The news sent by the second sister is not as detailed as that Wei Zhongcha, since this person is so useful, why doesn't the eldest sister keep it? "

"There's an old saying that loyal ministers don't care about two masters. Wei Zhong...is a loyal man. He needs to be used when he is by my side. I'm afraid that he will be hindered at a critical moment. It's better not to leave a variable for himself." Bai Bai Qing Yan picked up the teacup and slowly blew on the undulating buds in the cup.

Besides, Xiao Qi and Bai Jinse still have to stay with her grandmother. With Wei Zhong as a person, Xiao Qi can be regarded as someone who can be used.

Bai Qingyan didn't intend to let Bai Jinse threaten the Lin family. She was by her grandmother's side...she was definitely safe.

At this time, what she was most worried about was the Yanwo Great Famine.

In her previous life, she had never heard of this matter.

The county magistrates of Pingyang, Guangling, Luohong, and Hushui came to report at the same time, which shows the extent of the disaster and the number of people who starved to death.

The most important thing now is disaster relief.

However, it is hard to decide on the candidates for disaster relief. With such a big disaster, civil upheavals are very easy to occur. If the person in charge of disaster relief is a little careless, he will be doomed. It is definitely not a good job.

In the palace, the emperor pressed his head with an ice veil and listened to the people below reporting the disaster in Yanwo. He couldn't keep his eyes open because of the headache, and his chest heaved violently with anger.

"From the end of last year to this year, there has been no day of peace! No day of peace!" The emperor threw off the ice handkerchief in his hand, and stood up angrily, "He concealed the disaster for the sake of promotion! It's so disgusting! Kill! I will execute Min Zhongsheng Lingchi!"

Chu Zhongxing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, went forward to salute and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most urgent task is to provide disaster relief. Your Majesty still needs to choose a candidate for disaster relief. This disaster is too big. I am afraid that people from the royal family will need to come forward to relieve the disaster in order to appease the hearts of the people. ah."

The prince just nodded his head, but he never stepped forward to take over the relief work.

This disaster relief is different from previous years... It's a fat job.

Now the famine in Yanwo is too big, the refugees are spreading, it is disaster relief... and even the townspeople, among them, they need to be very cautious and proper, a little carelessness... It will stir up civil uprisings, the prince dare not take this responsibility .

"Father, my son thinks... you can let the third uncle try." The prince approached and lowered his voice to the emperor, "The third uncle has always been honest and kind, and this time when the people are in a catastrophe, he will definitely do his best to help the disaster. Let others have the opportunity to be greedy and steal."

"His Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, but my humble opinion... If His Highness the Crown Prince can personally go to relieve the disaster this time, it will definitely cheer up the people." Chu Zhongxing suddenly changed the subject when he said this, "But His Royal Highness is the leader of the country. Chu Jun, the disaster is too severe this time, if there is a civil uprising accidentally, I'm afraid it will endanger the safety of His Royal Highness."

The prince's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said to the emperor: "I am not afraid of endangering my own safety, but I have no experience in disaster relief. This time the disaster is serious, and I may not be able to catch it! I think that the party has experience in disaster relief." Only when the person is in charge can we be safe. As Chu Shangshu said, the presence of the royal family will surely inspire the common people, and I am willing to assist those who are in charge of disaster relief, and go together to share the worries of the father and emperor."

The prince's words not only expressed his loyalty to the emperor, but also expressed his willingness to go through dangerous situations for the emperor, and he also said that he had no experience in disaster relief, so he could only use it as a decoration, so that even if something happened in the end, he could not be blamed , really smart.

But the emperor followed this pattern. He sat down on the chair, took the ice handkerchief Gao Demao handed over and pressed it on his head, closed his eyes and said, "The crown prince is the crown prince of the country, the cornerstone of the country, so you can't put yourself in danger!"

Chu Zhongxing thought for a moment and said, "I do have a few candidates for disaster relief, but since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, there have been few natural disasters of this magnitude, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to perfect."

In the past twenty years, the biggest natural disaster was the great epidemic in Jiaozhou. That year...Bai Qishan personally assisted the disaster and led the Bai family army to seal Jiaozhou. Bai Suqiu asked for orders to enter the city. The epidemic in Jiaozhou eased and the people recovered, but Bai Suqiu stayed forever Jiaozhou.

The emperor's eyes suddenly became sour, and the original anger turned into sorrow. He closed his eyes and said, "The Jin court is so big, can't it choose a capable person to relieve the disaster?"

Originally, the disaster relief people could wait until tomorrow morning to discuss it, but now that the disaster situation is urgent, delaying for a moment... will increase the possibility of a change.

The prince suddenly thought of King Liang, King Xin had been abolished, and now the emperor's grown-up prince was King Liang.

"Father, in addition to the person in charge of the disaster relief, we also need people from the royal family to lead the battle. Since my son and minister can't go, I would like to recommend someone to my father. Please don't get angry." The prince considered and slowed down He opened his mouth slowly, "The fact that King Liang intended to frame King Zhen hurt my father's heart, but after all, King Liang was also deceived by the people below, and now he has been locked up in the mansion to reflect on himself, and his father's birthday is also on his mind. Please give King Liang a chance to redeem himself, and let King Liang take his crimes and make meritorious deeds."

The emperor looked sideways and knelt on the ground to plead for the crown prince for King Liang, and before he had time to think about it, the Hubu Shangshu agreed: "What the crown prince said is reasonable, His Royal Highness Liang Wang is the son of His Majesty, and he can inspire the hearts of the people more than the third prince. "

Gao Demao stepped forward to change an ice handkerchief for the emperor. The emperor frowned and nodded: "Then appoint a king of Liang, who will be in charge? Who is suitable?"

"The person in charge of disaster relief, I think, needs a piece of paper and a piece of military, and the generals will lead troops to deter them. General Zhang Duanrui has now led his troops to Chunmu Mountain, so General Shi Panshan, who has meritorious service in the Southern Border War, is more suitable! As for Wen... ...you can choose among the ministers who have been in charge of disaster relief in recent years and have done a good job." Chu Zhongxing clenched his fists, lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "I think...the son of Prime Minister Zuo, Li Mingrui can use it. .”

The emperor had a splitting headache and waved his hands: "That's it! Gao Demao... go and make an order! Call Qiu Guiren over here!"

During these days, the emperor had frequent headaches, and the medicines prescribed by the imperial physician were useless. Only Qiu Guiren came to give the emperor a massage to relieve him a little.

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this job does not fall on his head, anyone will do.

Soon, the emperor's will was made clear.
