wealthy queen

The empress passed away and the rain poured down. On the Golden Luan Hall, the emperor seemed to have aged by more than ten years overnight. The civil and military officials below were trembling. There was a clacking sound, and there was no more sound, and even breathing, everyone seemed to restrain themselves tacitly, for fear of accidentally touching the emperor's head.

"Moon City urgent report!"

"Xuan!"

Suddenly, the urgent report came, and the emperor stood up with a whoosh, and before the eunuchs in the palace announced it, he yelled out first. Wen Yuan, who is located in one of the six ministers, was entrusted to him to stabilize the embankment of Wangyue City before. If something happened to the embankment, he would be the first to be unlucky.

"General Ling said, the water level of the Wangyue River has increased sharply, and the dam may not be protected. Your Majesty, please send more troops to go there. In addition, the iron armored guards under King Qingping responded quickly and stepped up. There are no major casualties among the people so far. Your Majesty, please hurry up." Organize doctors, raise medicinal materials and send them to Wangyue City."

The report seems to have been written in a hurry, and the words are not without respect, but they have no intention of embellishing them. In normal times, Ling Wei is afraid that he will be impeached by the censor again

"Iron Armored Guard?"

The emperor was not the first to care about the disaster situation and the people, but he firmly grasped the word "Tiejiawei". The soldiers of the Ling family army who came all the way from Wangyue City through the rain and danger cupped their fists and looked up at the high emperor: "Yes, Last night, when General Ling arrived in Wangyue City, he visited King Qingping for fun. If God is not beautiful and it really rains, he must send iron armored guards to reinforce it. Yinshi is approaching, and the heavy rain is coming. All the more than [-] members of the Ling family are stabilizing the dam, and there is no time to spare. Withdrawing to settle down the common people, King Qingping ordered Iron Armored Guard Tianshu to command Wangyue Cheng Fuyin to evacuate the common people urgently and lead them to move to Yuehe County with higher terrain. Yuehe County has a unique geographical location. The speed is transferred to different places through eight roads to settle down. Your Majesty, the water volume of the Wangyue River has increased sharply, and the dam is faintly unstable. Your Majesty, please send troops to reinforce immediately. At the same time, because the people were transferred in a hurry, the food was too late to take away. General Wang Yeling Ask Your Majesty with Mr. Zhang Fu Yin, whether you can open a warehouse to release grain, and take out the spare grain to settle the victims. Finally, last night, all the soldiers and civilians braved the rain. The soldiers are still good, and the people are sick. I ask Your Majesty to send a team of doctors and nurses. The team brought enough medicinal materials to Mochiyue City to treat the people."

The location of the Moon City embankment is too special, the disaster came too fast, the soldiers still didn't say much, and the people were nervous and difficult to appease. If King Qingping hadn't acted in time, Moon City and its surrounding cities would have been even more chaotic.

"How many iron guards are there?"

The soldiers of the Ling Family Army who were in charge of the report were eagerly looking forward to it, but the emperor held on tightly to the Iron Armored Guards. It is not clear how many people there are, but it is estimated that they are those who escorted the prince to Wangyue City yesterday."

This is the truth, in that state of panic, who has the time to control how many troops the armored guards have invested?

"Your Majesty, hurry up to eight hundred miles in Binjiang City!"

"Urgent report from Yuntian City!"

"Urgent six hundred miles from Linhui City..."

"Cangjiang City..."

I haven't figured out a clue here yet. Emergency reports from all over the country sounded one after another outside the hall. The emperor no longer had time to take care of the armored guards. Unexpectedly, the emergency reports were all about the disaster situation. It was not just the Wangyue River where the water level soared under the heavy rainfall. The disaster was even more severe in the downstream areas that were already affected. is going on.

"Your Majesty, back then, the Emperor Shengzu bestowed upon King Qingping that he did not need to ask for help in times of chaos, and that he could freely mobilize the authority of the Iron Armored Guards. King Qingping also visited Wangyue City, and he was asked by General Ling to join the ranks of disaster relief. Please, Your Majesty." Don’t blame, the top priority should be to immediately increase troops to Wangyue City, and send imperial envoys to the affected cities to appease them.”

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Mr. Xie Ge of the cabinet stood up first, followed by Mr. Zeng Ge: "Second minister!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

After Mr. Zhao Ge also joined, all civil and military officials, without exception, all seconded the proposal. The emperor sitting high on the dragon chair looked unpredictable. , I just want to know the specific troop strength of Wangyue City, and consider how many troops to deploy, and pass on my decree, order Huaiyang Marquis and his son to go to Dongcheng to order [-] troops to reinforce Wangyue City."

"My emperor is wise!"

The civil and military officials who had just woken up knelt down again, and the fourth prince Qin Yunshen suddenly came out: "Father, my son please go to Wangyue City to assist King Qingping in pacifying the aftermath, please give permission."

No one expected that a prince would take the initiative to invite him to such a dangerous place, and everyone was a little too late to react, including the emperor on the high ground.

"You are worthy of being my son, but there is no need for it. The empress passed away yesterday. She has never lived a single day of comfort after marrying me, and she has no heirs under her knees. Although you are not his own, you should stay in the palace for him." Dai Xiao guards the spirit and assists Yuan Lie, and someone else will do it."

If possible, he would also like to send his son to monitor Pei Yuanlie and carve up the hearts and minds he gained. It can be seen that the crisis in Wangyue City has not been resolved, on the contrary, it will become more and more severe. How could he let his son take risks?

"What the father said is very true, my son is not thinking well."

Qin Yun bowed deeply and retreated, disappointment and sadness quickly slipped across his lowered eyes. Mochiyue City is indeed in danger, but it is a great opportunity to conquer the hearts of the people. As long as he leads enough people, there is no possibility of danger, so he dared to He took the initiative to ask for an order at the risk of being exposed, but he didn't want to ignore the fact that the queen mother had just passed away, and it was impossible for the princes to leave at this time.

"Fourth, there is no need to blame yourself. You want to share the burden for me. I am so relieved!"

Looking at Qin Yunshen who was at the bottom of the squad, the emperor showed his first smile since today, but the rest of the princes were different. They all looked at Qin Yunshen with strong defense.

"Father also knows that I don't have much ambition, and I always like to hang out with the people. Now seeing the people suffering, I feel as if my friends are suffering. I feel very uncomfortable. I really want to do something for them, so much so that I forgot about my mother's new life. If I die, I hope my father will punish me."

Sensing the hostility from the surroundings, and not daring to take the emperor's praise seriously, Qin Yunshen raised his head and pretended to smile bitterly. He still had that handsome and refined appearance, showing no ambition to covet the country at all.

"Baixin is your friend? Brother Sihuang's wording is very novel. It seems that you have a very good relationship with your friends, which is more than your filial piety to your mother."

The fifth prince sneered, and aimed at him in a strange way. The implication was that he had a very high reputation among the people. The emperor on the dragon chair flashed his eyes, but his expression did not change. The fist under Yunxiu tightened, turned around and said with a smile: "Where did the fifth emperor say that I treat the common people as friends? That's because I am the son of my father, a child of the royal family, how can I ignore the common people? As for The matter of the queen mother is indeed negligent on behalf of my brother."

"I don't think it's just negligence. The mother and queen passed away, and the whole country is filial. Why didn't the fourth emperor wear hemp and filial piety?"

After the Seventh Prince talked about it, everyone discovered that Qin Yunshen was wearing the prince's court clothes, but he was not filial, not only him, but also many people present, such as the Minister of the Household Department and Shen Ruiting, the Marquis of Dongling.

"It's not that the Seventh Emperor doesn't know. It's hard to find a foot of linen in the imperial city. I heard that it was bought by the Murong family a while ago to help the victims. Brother Yu and the Murong family have never met. It was too late to send someone yesterday. The head of the Murong family I have already rested, I wanted to enter the palace today to ask my father to reward me with a set of filial clothing, but I didn't expect that there was a sudden rainstorm in the middle of the night, and I was summoned to discuss the matter in a hurry."

After Wen Runhe's explanation, Qin Yunshen suddenly raised the hem of his court clothes and knelt down facing the emperor: "My son is not filial, please allow me to let my son guard the mother's spirit from today until I send her to the imperial mausoleum."

Hearing that, the whole audience was shocked. The royal family usually stops for about 49 days. If the emperor agrees, he will not be involved in the court for at least two months. This is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to the current changing situation. , but guarding the queen's coffin until she was sent to the imperial mausoleum was always an honor only for the queen's birth. For a while, no one could see what Qin Yunshen was thinking.

The queen is gone, so what's the use of seeking a name to be born?

"That's right."

After a brief silence, the emperor actually approved his request, and Qin Yunshen returned to the team in gratitude.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of adopting him to the empress, the princes were also quietly relieved, and secretly scolded Qin Yunshen for being an idiot.

"Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry?"

"The minister is here."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry came out, and the emperor said in a deep voice: "I ordered you to immediately dispatch people to support General Ling, and there must be no mistakes."

"The minister obeys the order."

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, farming, water conservancy, transportation and other government orders. At this time, it is true that he should be appointed, and the courtiers have no objections.

"As played by General Zhun Ling, King Qing Ping and Fu Yin, the granary in Wangyue City was opened for disaster relief."

"Also, order the Imperial Hospital to dispatch thirty imperial physicians first, and the Medical and Civil Administration to dispatch fifty physicians to accompany the army."

"My emperor is wise, long live long live long live!"

The emperor issued several imperial edicts, and all the officials shouted long live three times, resounding throughout the Golden Luan Hall. The soldiers of the Ling family army who were kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen the emperor holding on to King Qingping tightly and the princes were doing their own thing. He thought they would Ignore the common people, but fortunately, all those who should be sent have been sent.

It's just that the heart that has been chilled can't be warmed up again for a moment.

"Wen Yuan!"

Then the emperor assigned imperial envoys to various places, and after dealing with all the imminent and urgent matters, he suddenly let out a sharp roar, and Wen Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had been panicked since the first thunderclap last night, fell out of the team , lying on the ground tremblingly said: "Wei, my minister is guilty, please forgive me."

He was in charge of stabilizing the embankment earlier. He came back confidently five days ago. He has been taking credit for the past five days. Unexpectedly, in just five days, the original sunny day suddenly changed, with heavy rain pouring down, and the embankment was in danger , and there was also a monk Ruian who warned in advance, but he ignored it and almost killed the other party. Now that the liquidation is settled, he is afraid that he will lose Wusha.

"Well, Wen Yuan, I trust you to entrust the matter of the dam to you. How did you repay me?"

The emperor was furious, even though the master had warned him, he still made such a big mistake, how could he be forgiven lightly?

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Knowing that the guilt of the crime is inevitable, Wen Yuan dared not involve anything other than begging for mercy. The emperor slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and jumped up: "Come on, send Wen Yuan to the sky prison. The dam of Wangyue City is damaged, I want to destroy his nine clans!"

"Your Majesty...have mercy..."

"Yes!"

Wen Yuan raised his head in disbelief, no doubt tears streaming down his face, the general in front of the palace dragged him down like a dead dog, all civil and military officials were trembling with fear, accompanying the king like a tiger, the emperor was still praising him a few days ago He has made meritorious deeds, and today he will be sent to heaven.

"All those who are not filial to the queen will be punished with half a year's salary. If you continue to be so disrespectful tomorrow, Wen Yuan will wait for you in the dungeon, and the court will be dismissed!"

He glanced at all the officials below, the emperor finished speaking angrily, turned around and strode away, all the officials were terrified, especially those who hadn't yet filial piety, they rushed home non-stop as soon as the court was over. Inside, they must get a set of mourning clothes.
