Raid

Chapter 135 Explosion
After Rong Zhi took care of his body, he quickly took people to the Southland.And Li Shengxi, also in the name of something happening in her hometown, closed the medical clinic first. This time, she changed the face of "Ning Rushuang" and went all the way south.

It takes more than half a month to go from Wangjing to the north bank of Lijiang River. Even Gu Lingxu, who was the first to set off, has not arrived in Nandi at this time.

It was another rainy day, and Li Shengxi and Liujin were planning to leave the city.Just listen to Piaoyu's official horse galloping, the horse's hooves splashing mud spots on the road.The leading Zhongguan said loudly:
"Zhenyuan Emergency Report——"

"Pedestrians avoid—"

Liu Jin quickly turned her horse's head and avoided a path. Then she looked at Li Shengxi again, only to see that the cold face of "Ning Rushuang" was already covered with frost.

Zhenyuan, one of the six cities in the north of the Yangtze River, borders Xichang, and it is also the place where Gu Lingxu took people from the land.The governor of Zhenyuan Prefecture is even a member of the eunuch family, and the urgent report from Zhenyuan is definitely not good news.

"The news from Zhenyuan came even slower than the officials from the Northern Qi court. Did the people in the south live too comfortably these days?" Li Sheng scolded angrily. After speaking, he got on his horse, ignoring the heavy rain , in a hurry outside the city.

"There was a sudden thunderstorm in Zhenyuan, and all the major estuaries burst their dikes. The four counties of Xichang, eight counties of Zhenyuan, six counties of Tongjiang, and three counties of Zeyu were not spared. Especially the two counties of Anxia and Zecheng in Zhenyuan, all of them Flooded, numerous casualties. There were even riots among the refugees in these four prefectures. Governor Zhou of Tongjiang simply prepared in time and temporarily stabilized the situation and people's hearts, but the situation in other prefectural capitals is not optimistic." , He anxiously explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

"How did Zhenyuan break the embankment on such a large scale? Where is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and where is the governor of Zhenyuan Prefecture? Who was responsible for the construction of the embankment in Zhenyuan last year? Where did the Jiangbei Jiedu envoy go? He was able to stir up riots !" Emperor Yuan Jia stood up involuntarily, his vain footsteps becoming heavy with anger.

It was pointed out by him, but the officials knelt down and pleaded guilty.For a moment, the entire Taiji Hall was silent.

"How about the casualties? How many households were flooded? Have the granaries in these four prefectures been flooded, and are there enough medicinal materials? Have the other two prefectures in the Southwest sent food and troops there? Are there enough tents for disaster relief? Rong Yushi You have already brought a batch of supplies to the south, and such a dangerous situation is definitely not enough, so you report it quickly so that the Ministry of household can calculate it." Unlike Emperor Yuanjia's questioning of the teacher, Meng Songyan was mature and prudent, he suppressed the grief and consternation in his heart, and the matter At this point, no matter how much it is said, it will not help the matter. The most urgent task is to rescue the disaster.As for those officials who neglect their duties, there are some times to deal with them.

The envoy who sent the letter lowered his head even more, "The incident happened suddenly, only Zhou Fu Yin drew up the brochure, and other state capitals are still counting, and it will take some days before it can be sent to Wangjing."

Meng Songyan's face darkened, and he turned to look at Emperor Yuanjia, "Your Majesty, I thought that it would be better for the Ministry of Households to count the supplies needed by Tongjiang first, and then speculate on the supplies needed by the other state capitals, and then together Send it, and then order Rong Yushi to hurry up. He has already brought a lot of supplies, and he will be able to support one or two. The Holy Majesty will issue another decree to temporarily transfer military supplies from other nearby state capitals in case of emergency. Let the continents The government opened the granary, appeased and rescued the victims, and tried its best to minimize casualties. Then organized soldiers and strong men from various families to reinforce the dam."

"Hurry up and do what the Grand Tutor said." Emperor Yuan Jia scolded angrily.

This matter is too big, no one dares to come forward at this time.Apart from Emperor Yuan Jia, no one dared to impeach Guan Zhi Xingshi at this time.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Meng Songyan did not return to his home, but went to the inner hall with King Wu.

"Although the world in the south has been roughly determined, the specific regulations still need to be drafted by the Taifu and Uncle Wang." Emperor Yuan Jia supported his forehead, full of worry.

I don't know if it's Taifu Meng's illusion, but he always feels that the current emperor seems to be thinner, his eye sockets are slightly sunken, and he is tired.For a while, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. On the one hand, the emperor was busy with the case, and on the other hand, he favored the treacherous villain.

Meng Songyan nodded, "This matter will be decided by the ministers and King Wu together with the prime ministers of the three provinces and the ministers of the six departments. At that time, the Holy Majesty will have to make a decision. Please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

Emperor Yuan Jia felt guilty for a moment, and then nodded movedly.

"Having said that, it's just that there has been a vacancy for a long time, such a big matter can't be decided without the servant, and the imperial examination has not yet been passed, so there may not be enough manpower." King Wu sighed.

"At this time, the matter of scientific research should be put aside for the time being." Meng Songyan shook his head. It is important for the country to recruit scholars, but the lives of the people are more important.

Emperor Yuanjia was resentful, he hadn't done a big thing since he ascended the throne, although he hadn't heard of it, but he knew that there would be rumors that he was a virtuous and ruthless king, that he was wronged .

King Wu nodded, "This minister thinks so too, the provincial government..."

"I can only invite Zhou Fa." Meng Songyan's face darkened slightly.

Although he didn't know what the situation was, he could tell from the messenger who sent the message just now that the Zhou family had made sufficient preparations for this matter. Similarly, only the Zhou family managed to stabilize the situation in the south.

Moreover, those servants in Menxia Province are inferior to Zhou Fa in terms of reputation and ability.

What's more, the Zhou family has many old disciples in the south. Although they are all officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty and should serve the Northern Qi Dynasty on the surface, these words are only good-looking on the surface. What is the actual situation? clear.For those people, Zhou Fa's face may be more effective than the Holy Majesty's edict.

Inviting Zhou Fa to come out of the mountain and reinstating Official Zhou Fa is for the purpose of allowing the Zhou family to help, and also to reward Zhou for what he has done in the south.After all, they dealt with the disaster situation better than others.

King Wu was startled, he couldn't believe Taifu Meng would make such a suggestion, the young emperor might not know it, but he knew it very well, decades ago, when he was still very young, the court of Northern Qi almost It's the house of the Zhou family.

Zhou Fa was not yet a servant at that time, but the Patriarch of the Zhou family at that time also served as a servant under his sect.At that time, the Zhou family had so much power in the government and the public. If the Patriarch of the Zhou family did not nod his head, the imperial decree from the Holy Majesty would not even be able to leave the palace.

The decline of the Zhou family was the result of the royal family having spent a huge price. They did not want to invite members of the Zhou family to the court unless it was a last resort.

King Wu understands, and Taifu Meng naturally understands too, but at this moment, how can he have so many scruples?
