The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 796 Snow Disaster

Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao looked at the anxious Chu Chenjing and quickly explained to him, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, father received a memorial from the prefect of Linghe Prefecture after the morning court session.

It is said that Linghe Prefecture has had the worst snowstorm in years, and the snow has not stopped yet, with the accumulated snow already reaching above the calf’s height.”

"Blizzard?" Chu Chenjing frowned.

There were also two ministers and the fourth prince Chu Chenyan, who had just arrived at the hall, and no one knew what was going on.

The emperor saw that almost all the people who were notified had arrived, so he said to Eunuch Hong who was holding the memorial:

"Xiao Fuzi, please read the memorial again."

"Yes." Eunuch Hong quickly opened the memorial again, and his shrill voice echoed in the hall: "In the Linghezhou area, heavy snow has been falling for three days and three nights, and it has not stopped yet.

Many farmers' houses were collapsed by the snow, and avalanches even occurred in some places.

Fortunately, the city guards from Linghe Prefecture arrived in time and rescued some people, but their homes were gone. Houses in many villages collapsed, and many farmers froze to death..."

After reading the last word, the emperor said solemnly: "This is the urgent report from Linghe Prefecture that was just submitted this morning."

When they heard the news, they were all very surprised and felt very heavy, just like the ministers who had come before them.

The New Year is just a few days away. People are looking forward to the New Year, but how can these disaster-stricken people celebrate it?

"Your Majesty, it has been snowing in Linghe Prefecture for several days. Why did you report it only now?" Imperial Censor Shi Huaixin asked solemnly.

Ouyang Yunyao's father, Ouyang Xiao, was also here. He said in a deep voice, "Maybe Linghezhou is not too close to the north, and it snows every year.

Maybe they had never seen this year's Blizzard before, so they might not have taken it seriously at first.

Indeed, from the night before yesterday to noon yesterday, Kyoto also had heavy snowfall, and the snow fell very deeply overnight, which is rare in Kyoto, and no one expected a snowstorm to happen. "

"I agree with what General Ouyang said. The snow in Kyoto was very thick overnight. I have not seen this in more than ten years, so now is not the time to pursue this matter." Prime Minister Hong echoed.

"Father, in my opinion, we should quickly send people to rescue the people and deliver relief supplies, clothing, and food." Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao looked at the emperor and expressed his opinion.

Several ministers and princes in the palace were discussing this matter.

At this time, Xiang Yimu, the Minister of Revenue, sighed and shook his head, saying to the emperor worriedly: "Your Majesty, although Linghe Prefecture is not too far from Kyoto, it still takes three days to get there by horse.

If we transport relief supplies now, the thick snow on the road will make it difficult for the carriage to move forward, which will inevitably affect the speed.

By the time supplies and rescuers arrive, it might be too late."

"The newly promoted left prime minister Gu Guozhi said, "Your Majesty, Minister Xiang is right. If we go to the villages below to rescue them, wouldn't it be more difficult and time-consuming? I don't know if those affected by the disaster can wait for us to rescue them and not freeze to death?"

"You are all right." The emperor frowned and looked at Chu Chenjing and his wife.

Ouyang Yunyao's heart tightened when she heard the news of the snowstorm. She thought of the people whose houses collapsed, who must have no place to stay and were very cold.

They had to rush to the scene immediately! At this moment, she understood that the emperor had asked her to come because he had taken a fancy to her plane.

Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at the emperor sitting at the top with a bit of amusement.

She saw that the emperor was also looking at her, his eyes full of anticipation.

She turned to look at Chu Chenjing, and they smiled at each other.

Chu Chenjing stepped forward and said, "Father, time is tight. Yaoyao and I will leave the city now and take some of the Jingyong Army to rescue people first."

"Good! Good! Good!" The emperor was so happy that he said good three times.

Several ministers understood instantly. They knew that Princess Jing had a big iron bird, and they heard that the iron bird flew very fast. So they could take some people and some supplies and go first on the big iron bird.

But they didn't know that Ouyang Yunyao had a big space, and some of them only knew that she had a small Qiankun bag. There were also a few ministers who didn't know that Ouyang Yunyao had a big iron bird. They looked at the emperor and Jing in confusion.

The king then had a conversation.

I thought, is there any way for Prince Jing to quickly reach Linghezhou? Then I thought, maybe Prince Jing is very good at Qinggong, so is he flying to Linghezhou with some subordinates who are also good at Qinggong?

"Father, your Majesty, your son and my third brother will go with you to help with the disaster relief." Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao requested.

Originally, the emperor was planning to let the crown prince be in charge of disaster relief, and he wanted his sons to go as well, because the New Year was approaching, and it would be more appropriate to send his sons.

"Okay." The emperor nodded in agreement.

"Father! I will go too." The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince said in unison.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Alright."

"Your Majesty, I also request to go." Ouyang Xiao requested.

Ning Zhenwu, who had just walked into the hall from outside, also stepped forward: "This humble general greets His Majesty! This humble general heard about the snow disaster in Linghe Prefecture, and this humble general also requests to go."

"Okay, it's approved. I'll wait for you to come back and hold a palace banquet to celebrate the New Year." The emperor was in a much better mood at this time.

"Father, I, your son, also want to go." The Sixth Prince Chu Chenxuan also said.

He had been helping the Second Prince Chu Chenyu to target Chu Chenjing and the others, but now he was too embarrassed to speak up.

The emperor pondered for a moment, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on the Sixth Prince Chu Chenxuan, and said slowly: "You go with the disaster relief supplies behind."

"Yes, father." Chu Chenxuan responded quickly. Although he felt a little unwilling in his heart, he also understood his father's arrangement.

"Xiao Fuzi, quickly ask someone to call the people from the Imperial Hospital, and have a few imperial physicians accompany the Crown Prince and Prince Jing." The Emperor instructed Eunuch Hong who was beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away." Eunuch Hong responded, turned around and walked quickly out of the hall.

Inside the palace, Xiang Yimu, the Minister of Revenue, could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Jing and the others...how many days will it take them to arrive in Linghe Prefecture?"

Before he finished speaking, the Fourth Prince Chu Chenyan interrupted him excitedly: "Minister Xiang, this won't take a few days, we can get here today!"

"Fourth Prince, you...what did you say? You can arrive today? Are you trying to trick me?" Xiang Yimu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"How could this prince lie to you? We will be there in less than an hour." Chu Chenyan said with a firm tone.

"You...are you going to fly there?" Xiang Yimu looked at him with eyes as big as gongs.

"Of course we fly..." Chu Chenyan suddenly realized that he almost let the cat out of the bag.

After all, there are still a few ministers here who don’t know that the Third Emperor’s wife has a big iron bird.
