Although he didn't bother to watch the Second Master do his work, Shi Jin followed Liu Yi and stood on a high place.

Twelve wooden frames were set up in the place where the corpses were cremated, and oil was poured on them. A corpse beyond recognition was picked up from a pit that was still covered with rainwater, and it was placed on the wooden frames upright.At that moment, Shi Jin saw countless survivors kneel down.

From Shi Jin's side, he couldn't hear any cries, and no one made trouble.However, the sadness between the heaven and the earth seems to be gathered in one place, silently suppressing the heavy longing and sadness, and even the sky is dimmed.

Liu Yi didn't go through anything after all, even though she saw the scene from a distance, she still buried her head on Shi Jin's shoulder, not daring to turn her head to look.

Twelve torches wrapped in tarpaulins were gradually lit, and soldiers wearing mufflers stood around the wooden frame holding the torches.The Fifth Prince struggled to get up from the wheelchair, supported his body with the back of the wheelchair, as if praying for an obituary.The voice also appeared and disappeared with the wind, and occasionally a sentence or two came over, with some desolation and sadness, which made people weep.

Shi Jin suddenly blurred his eyes.

That kind of emotion couldn't be explained clearly, as if my heart was tightly grasped by a hand, it was so painful and sad.

She was so sudden that she didn't want to look any further, and was about to turn around and take Liu Yi to leave, but she saw Miracle Doctor He standing not far from her at some point.

His piercing eyes swept away from her red eye circles, then turned his head and continued to look at the sadness in the distance.

Shi Jin paused, and led Liu Yi to leave together.

Behind them, flames soared into the sky, sweeping and swallowing up the once-living shadows...
.
The fire burned for three days.

Although the source of the plague has been controlled, the fifth prince's heart has not been relieved from the desolation and sorrow for a long time.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, and his upper body, which used to be fairly straight, was a little bent.

Compared with these fresh lives, the factional disputes in the court seem like a joke.

Everyone is for their own selfish interests, and who will open their eyes to see this purgatory on earth?

His voice was hoarse, and he lowered his eyes and asked Qi Mojing beside him, "How to deal with the banditry in Fanlong Mountain?"

Qi Mojing stood by, his body as tall and straight as a pine.No matter when and where, he seems to be able to hold up a world, "Time is running out, just one word, bomb."

The Fifth Prince was in urgent need of silver taels for disaster relief, so he blew up Fanlong Mountain.

Although the Fifth Prince was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by his boldness.He couldn't help showing a wry smile, "Fan Longshan said he was a bandit, but he was just a private soldier raised by the second brother. If you bomb him, he might hate Tiqisi."

"However," he said again, "this king will bear this matter with you."

Qi Mojing's eyes showed some warmth, and his voice became warmer, "Your Highness, don't worry, this subject can still bear it."

The two of them had a tacit understanding so that they didn't talk about this topic any more, and only discussed and finalized the next disaster relief arrangements one by one.

"In this way, the most urgent thing at the moment is the wood, stones, and charcoal for building houses. The most difficult time is over, and there are many victims. Your Highness can write to the nearby towns, prefectures and counties, and ask these local officials to be responsible for accepting them. First batch of disaster victims, and the rest will be housed in newly built houses, barely avoiding this cold winter." Qi Mojing said.

"Wood, stones, charcoal... It costs a lot. The previous relief money also purchased food, herbs, cotton clothes, etc. from Xiangyang. If you want to survive this winter safely, you may need to ask the Ministry of Households again Silver." The fifth prince was quite troubled by this point.

Although His Majesty allocated 100 million taels of silver for disaster relief before, the household department cried for poverty, while all the officials insisted on their own opinions. In the end, only 50 taels were allocated, and they were detained in Panlong Mountain.

This time it is going to ask for money again, I am afraid it will be more difficult.

"It is essential to start with the Ministry of Household Affairs. We also need to have a charter here. Although the victims of the disaster can barely survive on relief, it is not a long-term solution. Regarding the construction of winter houses and the cleaning of ditches, Your Highness may wish to use the work as a substitute. Relief, hire the victims and make rice noodles, so the hatchback is safe. This is one of them."

"Those who are unable to work, are allowed to borrow rice grain from the local government. After a good harvest in the coming year, they will be repaid with new rice. This is the second."

"His Majesty Shangshu, exempt three years of corvee tax in the nearby disaster area, this is the third."

"It's the fourth of the government to adopt widows, widows and lonely people..."

Every time Qi Mojing made a statement, the fifth prince's eyes lit up a little, and when he said what was in his heart, he couldn't help but smile, held his hand and said, "What Mr. .Little Tiqisi, Mr. Nan Shi has a chest in his chest!"

From then on, the two discussed the details again, all night long, tirelessly.
.
Hao Jing.

It was the time for the officials to go to court early.

The memorabilia of the five princes was presented straight to the sky, and the great eunuch Chang De held a brush in the court hall and read it.

His voice had the eunuch's high-pitched voice, scratching and making people tremble:
"...the six animals are exhausted and those who live mourn, crying loudly, and babies crying all over the field; gradually, the sound becomes silent and all those who fall to the ground are all hungry and dead, and finally they lie down with exhaustion, where the arms are pointed and the toes are Going forward, I know where Haojing is; and at the end of the year, the weather is cold, and the number of people left behind is less than half, changing children to eat, and taking clothes from corpses, all of which make people change their faces. However, the grace of God is mighty, the floods are gradually stopping, and the plague is not over. Sheng, only the weather is unbearable, and the rest will be hard to withstand the erosion of wind and snow. The people of the world are all the people of Daye, so the sons and ministers boldly asked for 50 taels of silver to prepare for the new house to survive the winter... "

The hall was quiet.

In the silence, Emperor Tianyuan was the first to speak out, "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally the crown prince Yao Zhizhang stood up and bowed to the end, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the fifth prince puts all the people first, and saves the people in disasters. He should be entrusted by His Majesty that day, and I also see him." With a sincere heart, I feel the sun and the moon, and spread the virtues of Your Majesty to the world..."

As soon as he said this, all the ministers were also grateful.

The prince only felt a sudden pain in his chest.He was injured just right, and because of the assassination, he finally won some concern from Emperor Tianyuan, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Li Linfu's case, he was allowed to sit in court.

Hearing Lao Wu being praised by these courtiers at this time, the wound in my heart was so hateful that it almost burst open.

However, the words he said were somewhat honorable, "The fifth brother has always loved Fengyue, and was indifferent to his ambitions. I didn't expect to be so tolerant, caring for the people, and full of ambitions. Even a minister, I also admire him from the bottom of my heart." , take the fifth younger brother as an example..."

Although his words were flattering, Emperor Tianyuan was impatient.

What he wants is not the flattery of the courtiers, but the real support.

He saw Gong Qingze, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, hiding in a corner with his neck shrunk. He only glanced at his long eyes, and pulled Gong Qingze out, "Shangshu Gong thinks, 50 taels, is it okay?"

As soon as these words came out, Gong Qing was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty. The 50 taels of disaster relief last time were also taken from the repair of the imperial mausoleum. Now it is time to pay Empty the national treasury, and you can't raise a huge amount of 50 taels..."
