After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 34 She Goes
Wan Qiqian: ...

He's old, aren't you old?
Calculated, Qin Ge's age is several years older than Yu's old Shangshu.

Wei Xingzhi looked at the veteran ministers who opened their mouths to help the disaster, and sighed in his heart.

This is the result of young officials in the court, all of whom come from noble families.

They are all spoiled and spoiled, with no ambitions, and when the critical moment comes, they can't even pick up the leader.

Counting the days, the scientific examination will be held soon.

She has to suggest that an exam be held for all these young important officials, and those who fail will be beaten back and remade.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Wei Xingzhi adjusted his crimson red robe, knelt upright, clasped his fists and said righteously, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Jizhou for disaster relief."

But it's just a flood, so it's hard to get her?
Old Shangshu Yu was stunned by his crying expression, and Wan Tuqian also paused for a moment.

It was because Wei Xingzhi's expression and tone were so resolute that he forgot to refute for a while.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Jizhou for disaster relief, relieve the people, dredge the river, build dams, and alleviate the disaster. The flood in Jizhou will not decrease for a day, and I will not return for a day."

Wan Chengqian opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Wei Xingzhi took the lead.

"Your Majesty, when I came to the court on the first day, some people questioned the character of the Wei family. I also told all the officials that the character of the Wei family is not afraid of death and power. effective."

"The minister's father died in the battle between Nanxiao and Xishu, the minister's second uncle and third uncle all died in the hands of Xishu and Mengdan Xizuo, and the minister's cousins ​​also died for the country, they don't complain. I'm going here, if something really happens, I won't complain."

"Go forward in fear of difficulties and obstacles, fear power and treachery without yielding, although I am a woman...but I will not lose to a man, otherwise I will not be valued by your majesty now, and I will be appointed as the chief assistant. I beg your majesty to agree to let me be the people of Jizhou. Do your best."

After all, she bowed her head and kowtowed.

Old Qin Ge's eyes were red, as if he saw the heroic souls of the Wei family who died in battle gathered behind Wei Xingzhi.

That old fellow Wei Zhongxian has taught a good granddaughter!
"It's a good one to move forward in fear of difficulties and obstacles, and to be unyielding in fear of power and treachery." Wan Tuqian lowered his head and chuckled.

The voice was low and hoarse, and no emotion could be heard.

Does it have to be her?
Wei Xingzhi paused, "Your Majesty, Old Shangshu Yu is right. As the Son of Heaven, you must not leave Beijing for fear of accidents. If you sit in the imperial city and I go to Jizhou, Your Majesty will definitely be satisfied with the result."

Frowning, Wan Tuqian put away the contemplation in his eyes, "Zhao Pingchao."

Hubu Shangshu said tremblingly, "The minister is here."

"How much money does the imperial court have?"

"It's less than 10 taels." Zhao Shangshu's voice trembled.

"Boom—" Wan Qiqian grabbed the inkstone on the table and smashed it down.

Black ink poured all over the ground, and a few drops even splashed on Zhao Shangshu's face.

"It's really good." Wan Qiqian scolded angrily, "less than 10 taels? What about the taxes you collected?"

Zhao Shangshu was about to cry, "Your Majesty, there are more places to go for the collected taxes! Lord Wei implements a light taxation policy, the people are at ease, but the court is also poor!"

The corner of Wei Xingzhi's mouth twitched, the co-authoring was her own fault.

That's right, blame her for being impatient.

Wan Tuqian's forehead was full of blue veins, "What about the money obtained from the operation of the imperial court's industry?"

"It's all stored in banks all over the place, and it won't be able to be shipped in a while!"

Wei Xingzhi said, "What about the food?"

Zhao Shangshu wiped his tears and said hurriedly, "There is grain. Last year's harvest was good, and a lot of grain was collected from various places! This year, apart from Jizhou, other places also collected a lot."

Wan Chengqian always felt that there was one thing that made him feel at ease.

"The matter of disaster relief will be handed over to Wei Qing. As for the disaster relief money, 60 taels, Zhao Pingchao will find a way for you to collect it."

Zhao Shangshu was crying, with snot and tears, where is he going to collect 60 taels of disaster relief money now.

But no one cares about him.

Old Qin Ge said, "Your Majesty, as Your Majesty said, Mrs. Wei is a girl after all, and there are many things that may be inconvenient. If you don't let the eldest grandson of the old minister go with you, there will be someone to take care of you on the way."

Elder Qin Ge's eldest grandson is Mrs. Qin's eldest son, Qin Changbai, who is also the unlucky one who married Yulin county magistrate.

Now he is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he has been idled from the sixth rank.

Qin Ge's old behavior is probably because he wants to win a higher official position for his grandson.If the disaster relief is successful, it will be sealed if you don't say anything when you come back.

Wan Qiqian thought about it, he was really worried about Wei Xingzhi going alone. These Qin Changbai heard that they were fairly upright people, and the Qin family had some connections with the Wei family, and Qin Changbai was also a malleable talent. The grind is great.

"Okay, sure." Wan Qiqian waved away the crowd, leaving Wei Xingzhi alone.

After everyone retreated, Wan Chengqian said with complicated eyes, "Actually, you don't have to go."

"If you repent now, I will order you not to go."

Wei Xingzhi blinked twice, why did he go back on his word?

Although she is not a good person, but at the moment the disaster relief is for the common people, and for herself, it is just a little hard work, so what?
In her era, did she suffer less?
"The minister will not go back on his word."

After getting a firm answer, Wan Tuqian didn't know what it was like, he obviously admired her like this, but he didn't want her to risk her life.

"Your Majesty, the matter of disaster relief must not be delayed. Within three days at the latest, I will lead troops to escort the relief money and food to Jizhou." Wei Xing knew, "I need a detailed map of Jizhou."

It is not enough to only provide disaster relief, and it is not enough to only save the people.

She checked the files, and found that Jizhou was flooded every few years, and every time the farms were flooded, the people were in dire straits.

It's just that this year is more serious than previous years.

If you want to cure it... let's watch her Dayu control the water.

But when she arrived in Jizhou, she realized that water control was not as simple as the book said.

Wan Chengqian nodded, walked in front of her, took off the scarlet jade ring on her thumb, and raised her thumb to put it on.

But she found that she was tall and her fingers were very slender.

It would slip off when he put it on, and his face was stiff.

Wei Xingzhi looked at the emperor's series of mysterious operations in amazement, was he so moved?
It must be because of her actions, the emperor was so moved.

"Your Majesty, I don't need this."

"I want to give you an amulet, but it's just a token." Wan Qiqian took his hand back with some disappointment.

Just as he was about to put the wrench on his hand, Wei Xingzhi's eyes lit up, "Wait a minute."

"Ok?"

Wei Xingzhi clasped his hands, "Your Majesty's reward, there is no reason to take it back. After you take it back, you must string it up with high-quality hanging silk, hang it around your neck, and wear it next to your body day and night, in order to ask for the blessing of Your Majesty the Son of Heaven."

This finger pull is a token from the emperor, maybe it can save his life in the future.

"Really?" The gloom on Wan Chengqian's face dissipated.

"Really." Wei Xingzhi nodded heavily.

Wan Chengqian put the wrench in her palm, "Keep it well, come back safely."
