Chapter 33
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei's one-sided words are not enough to conclude that there is a flood in Jizhou. King Kang has always been loyal to His Majesty, so how could he hide the flood in Jizhou?" Jiang Teng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said in a low voice.

Wei Xingzhi said nothing.

She entered the palace and reported the flood to the emperor, and the emperor summoned several important officials to the palace to discuss matters.

Cheng Taifu narrowed his eyes, and said, "Kang Kang came from a humble background. After the first emperor left, he went to Jizhou to serve. If King Kang set up his own territory, intends to rebel, and does not report it, it is not impossible."

He was implying that the flood in Jizhou might be a small matter, but Kang Wang's rebellion might be a big one.

Jiang Shangshu's face darkened. He had met Kang Wang. Although he was a little ambitious, he was as timid as a mouse, and he was not someone who could achieve great things. How could he have the courage to rebel.

"Your Majesty, King Kang has always..."

Just as he was about to speak, Wan Tengqian said coldly, "Qin Tianjian Supervisor, tell me."

Qin Tianjian, who had been standing in the corner to lower his sense of presence, was shaking all over, and the two answers in his mind saw each other.

He had known about the Jizhou flood for a long time, but someone bribed him to hide it for a while.

But looking at it like this, it won't be long.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I looked at the sky at night, and found that above Jizhou, Mercury reversed, approaching Ziwei, and there was indeed a sign of a flood."

Wan Qiqian stared at him indifferently with his cold Danfeng eyes, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Back, back to Your Majesty... The minister was not feeling well a few days ago, and the divination was done by the deputy supervisor, and the minister only obtained the divination yesterday..." Qin Tianjian was kneeling on the ground with a cold sweat on his forehead Again and again.

Wan Tengqian sneered, "If Wei Qing hadn't happened to learn about it from the people who fled to the imperial city from Jizhou, wouldn't it have to wait until Jizhou was flooded and people were devastated before the news could reach my ears?"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Everyone fell to their knees in unison.

Wan Tengqian snorted coldly from his nose, his eyes were dark and awe-inspiring, "There are many things involved in the flood, but there is no news at all in the imperial city. My dear friends, I have really seen your abilities! Come on, general Qintian!" The prison supervisor is dragging him to the imperial prison, so ask him why he was ill those few days, and how he was fine yesterday!"

'Boom--'

Thunder and lightning resounded through the sky, illuminating the dark clouds for a moment, tearing a big hole, and the rain that had stopped for three days seemed to have found a vent, and it slanted down like a waterfall.

Wan Tuqian clutched the armrest, resentful in his heart.Throughout the ages, all natural disasters will inevitably cause countless casualties and damages of hundreds of millions.

But the flood in Jizhou has lasted for a month, and even half of the news has not been sent back to the capital?

What does this mean? It means that those dog officials with corpses and vegetarian meals have left people's livelihood behind, and it means that thousands of people have died or been injured by the flood!
Although he doesn't understand history, every earthquake, drought, flood, and fire, which one doesn't make the headlines?
In the era of economic development, there are still countless casualties, wouldn't there be even more casualties in this place where rescues can't keep up with the birds?
Wei Xingzhi took a deep breath and raised his head, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to send people to Jizhou to investigate and then send people to rescue the disaster. It seems that the rain will not stop for a while, and Jizhou is estimated to be half flooded. Food and disaster relief money will cost a lot.”

"Besides, along the way, there will be many refugees, and it will be rainy, so the disaster relief trip will be extremely difficult."

"Furthermore, Jizhou is low-lying. If the accumulated rainwater cannot be relieved... disaster relief money and food and grass will only be a temporary relief."

Originally, there were still people who wanted to go to disaster relief. In the past, the disaster relief money and pension issued by the disaster relief court, which one was not a lot of money?
But now, when they heard that there were not only refugees everywhere along the way, but also that it was raining a lot, and how much money the household department had now, they were all clean.

This kind of drudgery, whoever wants to do it.

Wan Tengqian glanced at the figures in the imperial study room who were considered dignified and respectable in the court, all of them lowered their heads, without any appearance of being an official.

"Wei Qing is right. Are there any lovers who volunteered? I will promote him immediately."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and there was silence for a while.

Wan Qiqian's face turned black, a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, lazy and lazy.

"In that case." Wan Qiqian's big palm fell on the table bank carved with dragon patterns in yellow pear wood, "I will go to Jizhou to provide disaster relief in person."

The officials suddenly raised their heads and looked at Wan Tuqian in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

Wan Qiqian was cold-eyed and threatening, "If you live in a high temple, you will worry about its people. Since you eat the emperor's salary, you have to bear his blame, but you are all supported by the people, and none of you is willing to stand up for the people at critical moments."

Wei Xingzhi said weakly, "I am willing to go to the disaster relief."

Wan Qiqian gave her a cold look, and ignored her directly, "I will personally lead the troops to rescue the disaster, so that the people of Jizhou will know that I will not give up on every one of my people."

Wei Xingzhi pursed his thin lips, "Your Majesty, I am willing to help the disaster."

Wan Qiqian stood up, pointed at her, and said, "Shut up. Are all the men in my Nanxiao Manchu Dynasty dead? It's your turn to help the disaster."

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: Your Majesty, you can pretend that we are all dead.

Wan Chengqian took a deep breath, "Since no one is going, then I will go in person."

The trip to Jizhou is full of dangers, anyone can go, but she can't.

Yu Lao Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites broke in directly from outside the hall, and hugged Wan Chengqian's thigh, "Your Majesty, you can't go. As the emperor, you can't risk yourself! The country can't live without a master for a day!" !"

Wan Tengqian looked down at Yu Laoshangshu, who had always been unable to walk with his old arms and legs, ran over from the imperial study room almost briskly, and hugged his thigh.

"Your Majesty, how can I let you take risks, old minister, old minister!"

The corners of Wei Xingzhi's mouth twitched a little, Old Shangshu Yu lost two of his big teeth, his head was all gray, and he was hunched over. If he was really allowed to go, let alone be gone before arriving in Jizhou, is it possible?

Just because the emperor sent the veterans of the two dynasties to Jizhou for the earthquake disaster, they were all drowned by the spittle of the people.

Old Shangshu Yu burst into tears. Originally, he had reached the age of becoming an official, so he didn't need to participate in these things.

But as soon as he heard that His Majesty summoned him because of the flood in Jizhou, he rushed over without stopping.

Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the imperial study, he heard that the emperor wanted to go in person.

What is this? Even if the emperor personally conscripted them in all dynasties, there were very few of them. Besides, the foundation of Nanxiao's country is unstable now. If something happens to the new emperor, who will take charge of the overall situation!

"Your Majesty, you must not go! The veteran is willing to go to the disaster relief. Although the veteran is old, he is definitely not useless when he is old and strong!"

Wan Chengqian looked blank, you are a minister of the Ministry of Rites, you have never even touched such a thing as disaster relief...

The dignified people kneeling below all looked ashamed.

Qin Ge paused for a moment, "Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu is too old to go, and the old minister is willing to go to help the disaster."
