Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 105

In the previous life, Yucheng County Magistrate Feng Mingjin sent people to Beijing to report the emergency disaster, but it did not attract the attention of relevant officials.

There was neither reporting at all levels nor effective support, so it just sat on the desk.

It wasn't until New Year's Eve, when thousands of families celebrated their reunion with lights, that the disaster in Yucheng reached its peak.

At first, hundreds of people died every day, but later it grew to thousands.

Magistrate Feng waited for help from the court every day, but nothing happened.

It was not until a month later that the wife of Magistrate Feng stumbled and beat the Dengwen drum that Emperor Mingde learned of the danger of Jade City.

But it was too late. When Emperor Mingde sent his imperial ministers to lead people to Jade City, they only saw a dead city with piles of corpses.

Jade City is destroyed!

After Mrs. Feng learned that her husband had died in Yucheng, she was so sad and angry that she bumped her head in front of Dengwen Drum and died.

This is the "Shame of Jade City" that shocked all countries. It was a shame for the court, a shame for being an official, and even more a shame for the emperor.

Emperor Mingde was furious.

Among them, You Qingnian, the head of the household department who suppressed the case, had his entire family executed.

Shi Anxia's uncle Tang Chuyu was also innocently involved in this incident. He was sent to Cangzhou as the prefect, and was transferred back to Beijing eight years later.

All the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs were not spared. They were distributed, demoted, imprisoned, and beheaded.

Shi Anxia remembered this incident very clearly.

So during these days, she closed all the shops in Beijing and sent out the shopkeepers to collect grain, charcoal, and cotton to make cotton-padded clothes.

People in her mother's village are now working day and night to make clothes and shoes, just to rescue Yucheng at any time.

Shi Anxia said sternly, "Uncle, please believe me. Yucheng's letter for help is on the desk of You Qingnian, the head of the household department. He has neglected his duties and has no regard for Yucheng's life and death. You will report it to the emperor tomorrow and request that Yucheng be rescued personally. ."

Tang Chuyu had a strange feeling in his heart, and wanted to say, "Xia'er, court matters are not something to be trifled with." However, he swallowed his words again and changed to, "We won't be able to prepare all the supplies for a while."

Shi Anxia said, "I have prepared part of it and can donate it to the disaster area. But I have a request, that is, I hope that my uncle can recommend my uncle to the emperor, and you two can go to Yucheng to provide disaster relief together."

"Cheng Yi?" Tang Chuyu looked at Tang Chujun in surprise.

Tang Chujun blushed and waved his hands, "Don't look at me. It has nothing to do with me. I don't know about this at all."

Shi Anxia was worried that Tang Chuyu would misunderstand, "Uncle is my benefactor, and I want to repay him."

Tang Chuyu remembered that Shi Chengyi brought Xia'er home from outside. Such kindness must be repaid.

That night, on the way back home, Tang Chuyu stopped by You Qingnian's house and chatted about the heavy snowfall this winter.

You Qingnian was stunned and did not mention that there was an urgent report from Yucheng on his desk.

In his opinion, New Year's Eve is coming soon, so he should still focus on various matters in Beijing.

In addition, his house was really busy, with a lot of relatives coming from far and near, looking at each other and getting along with each other. His father-in-law also told him to find a way to arrange for his youngest brother-in-law to enter a famous school.

All in all, I was so busy that there was really no need to mention the snowstorm in Yucheng on New Year's Eve.

Tang Chuyu was not sure whether it was You Qingnian who did not receive the emergency report, or whether his niece was too mysterious to believe in a Feng Shui master.

But the next day, Tang Chuyu still brought up the Yucheng snow disaster when the dynasty was about to disperse.

This is the last time to go to court before the new year, and it will be New Year’s Eve in two days.

Emperor Mingde is still very strong and in good spirits.

He was a good emperor who devoted himself to the people, so he naturally paid more attention to Tang Chuyu's proposal.

He asked kindly, "Where did Aiqing get the news?"

Tang Chuyu had prepared the manuscript last night, "A friend of mine came to Beijing from Yucheng Road and told me about the local situation. I think it has been snowing heavily in Beijing for days, not to mention Yucheng, which is known as the 'Snow Town'. Without further delay, I am willing to take people to Jade City to share the emperor's worries."
