Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father
Chapter 52 Great Qi Dynasty 5
After leaving the general's mansion, Sirong saw that it was still early, so she wanted to visit the residences of various ministers.
Especially in the Prime Minister's Mansion, maybe we can find out some information.
In the past few years, Prime Minister Yu has been secretly colluding with Prince Ning. It should be because Concubine Yu's children are still young and have no ability to compete for the position of crown prince.
That's why Prime Minister Yu chose Prince Ning.
Prince Ning was born in a humble family. His mother died shortly after giving birth to him. He has been a small and invisible figure in the palace for many years.
For Prime Minister Yu, such a prince is easier to control and help him ascend the throne. Then he can find one of his own daughters to marry him, and the next generation of emperor will most likely be of the Yu family's bloodline.
Over the years, Prime Minister Yu and Si Rong have been at odds, often arguing fiercely in court. Si Rong believes that the most likely person to have poisoned her father is Prime Minister Yu.
When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the light in the study was still on. Sirong carefully avoided the patrolling guards and hid under the window.
It is possible to hear sounds from outside while inside the space.
Prime Minister Yu is discussing with his advisers how to arrange the assassination of the crown prince.
This year's flood in Jiangnan is the most serious since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The emperor asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 700,000 taels of silver to control the flood, and in the end this task fell on the prince.
Jiangnan is plagued by floods every year, and the Ministry of Revenue allocates funds every year to deal with the floods. These officials have developed their own formula for dealing with this matter.
Officials at all levels exploited the money and grain layer by layer, and in the end, if half of the money and grain could be used in the disaster area, it was considered a success in disaster relief.
The flood had originally broken the dam, causing some casualties and losses, so this account was settled.
I can continue to ask the court for money to govern next year.
The officials in charge of flood control did not take it seriously and continued to use the same methods from previous years.
Who knew that this rainstorm would continue and the amount of water would be more than twice that of previous years.
Fields were washed away, houses collapsed, and plagues raged, to the point where nine out of ten houses were empty and corpses were strewn across the streets.
Along with the reports of disaster, there were also refugees carrying the disease.
This made the people in the capital uneasy and rumors spread.
This made the emperor furious. He ignored the opposition and sent the prince to the south to control the flood and investigate where the money for flood control in Jiangnan had been spent over the years.
The death or injury of a few civilians is nothing to the prime minister.
However, if the prince could arrive in Jiangnan safely, then the fact that they had embezzled disaster relief funds over the years would no longer be concealed.
Fortunately, there were rampant pirates along the way to Jiangnan, so it was not difficult to cause some accidents.
Besides, the plague has already broken out, and the prince works hard day and night, so it makes sense that he would unfortunately be infected with the disease.
Upon hearing what Prime Minister Yu and the others were planning, Si Rong was horrified. She quietly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight to the residence of Muchen's elder brother Mu Yang.
The prince should still be in the East Palace at this time. It would be troublesome for Sirong to sneak into the inner courtyard of the palace, and Sirong and the prince are not very familiar with each other.
This time when the prince goes south, Mu Yang will definitely follow him, and it will be the same when discussing things with him.
When she arrived outside Mu Yang's study and quietly revealed her identity, Mu Yang personally opened the door and welcomed Si Rong in.
What a coincidence, the prince is here too.
He should have come here to discuss moving south.
After a few simple greetings, Sirong stated her purpose.
She told the prince and others what she had heard in Prime Minister Yu's residence.
Hearing the frowns on the Crown Prince and Mu Yang's faces, the Emperor waved his hand and allocated 700,000 taels of silver for disaster relief.
However, the Ministry of Revenue kept delaying the payment. Not only had the silver not been paid in full, but even the food and medicine to prevent the epidemic were not available.
The two were already worried about this matter, and Sirong brought this news, which really made things worse.
Sirong thought about it and told them that she had a batch of food and medicinal materials that she could move to them for disaster relief, using the excuse that she wanted to stockpile some military rations for the Zhenbei Army.
However, they need to figure out the origin of this batch of food and fodder themselves.
This is not a problem for the prince and others.
Several people planned the route to the south in detail and felt that it would be safer to send the food directly to Jiangnan and then have the prince and others take over.
So they agreed on the handover location, and Sirong gave the prince and Mu Yang two bottles of spiritual spring water before leaving.
After returning to the military camp, Si Rong called the commander of the secret guards into the tent and asked him to arrange ten people to go with Muchen early the next morning.
He rushed to Taozhou Wharf, 200 miles away from the flood site, as quickly as possible, rented a large yard, and then sent the address back by carrier pigeon.
These past two days, Muchen has been going out early and coming back late, trying to find out the location of the nearby bandit's lair.
Thinking that while Lengyue Country was quiet recently, he would take his soldiers to suppress the bandits, which would also allow him to supplement the military funds.
When he heard Sirong looking for him in the morning, he hurried over.
Sirong told him about what happened with the prince, but did not explain the source of the information.
Muchen didn't ask any questions and set off with ten people according to Sirong's arrangement.
Two days later, Sirong received a letter from Fei Ge.
The letter gave their detailed address, and at night Sirong used the mecha to fly to the yard at Taozhou Wharf again.
After arranging everyone to be on guard outside, they took out the food and medicine from the space.
Before leaving, Sirong gave Muchen some prescriptions for treating epidemics and cement, as well as plans for post-disaster epidemic prevention and control measures.
Let him pass it to the prince. It is too late to use cement to block the dam now.
But it will definitely be useful during post-disaster reconstruction.
She also left some finished cement products and some lime powder among the food and fodder, which she would put in water for disinfection.
After dealing with these matters, Sirong was still angry, so she flew back to the capital and cleaned out the warehouses of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Minister of Revenue's house.
Ever since Si Rong led the troops to the northern border, the general's mansion has been closed to visitors until now.
The Crown Prince and Mu Yang also went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief. The Prime Minister's residence was robbed, but no matter how much they investigated, they could not be traced back to them.
I let you and Prime Minister Yu collect wealth everywhere, and rely on your disciples all over the world to withhold the military rations of the Zhenbei Army.
You are still tampering with the disaster relief funds. This time, I will let you provide exclusive sponsorship to the Zhenbei Army.
After a long period of busy work, Sirong lay on the bed in the military tent and asked 571 if the blood clot on her father's head could be removed with medicine.
The answer was negative, and Sifu had been in a coma for more than a year.
The blood clot has already solidified, and the best way is to remove it surgically. It is unlikely that the body will absorb it on its own.
The best way now is for Sirong to get the body repair cabin when she is on a mission.
At that time, the surgery can be performed in a repair cabin with minimal risk.
Otherwise, with the current medical conditions in Daqi Dynasty, the risk of performing surgery on Sifu would be too great.
After hearing 571's analysis, Sirong felt that what she said made sense, but she really wanted her father to wake up quickly and didn't want to stay in the military tent to rest. She asked 571 to help her start the next journey.
