Chapter 97:98 The disaster is serious, provide porridge for disaster relief

"Your Majesty, there are serious floods in the south now, and the victims are homeless! Many victims starve to death on the roadside!" Shen Weixun, wearing a court hat with a golden crown, spoke solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, several civil servants stood up, and Shen Weixun even handed the fold in his hand to His Majesty.

The leader of Dongshan Kingdom took the certificate and when he saw the severe disaster above, he looked at the civil and military officials of the court with sharp eyes.

The disaster was serious and there were many victims, but no official reported it.In recent years, the disaster situation in Dongshan has become more and more serious, and there has been dissatisfaction among the people. This is an extremely dangerous matter for the country's leader, not to mention that the owner of Dongshan is very concerned about his prestige among the people.

"Prince!" The emperor glanced at the prince who was standing at the head of the officials, and suddenly threw the fold to the ground. "Is this the case?"

Yang Shi'an knelt down quickly, followed by all the civil and military officials in the palace.

Yang Shi'an glanced at the folding paper in front of him. It clearly reported the whole story of the disaster, and there was no room for him to refute.

Yang Shi'an naturally knew about the disaster, but this time the disaster was serious, so Yang Shi'an naturally concealed it, thinking that as long as the victims died of starvation, no one would know.

Just like that day, when Yang Shi'an returned to the city from outside the city, he was naturally besieged by the victims. But even now, Yang Shi'an doesn't feel pity for the victims, only that it has nothing to do with him.

"I'm guilty! I neglected to understand the sentiments of the people!" Yang Shi'an quickly admitted his mistake, and his four-clawed python robe fell at his feet.

The emperor glanced at the prince who was kneeling on the ground. Although he was angry, the prince was a son who was personally taught by the emperor, and he had high hopes for the prince.

"Gentlemen, how should we deal with the victims of this disaster?" The emperor looked at the civil servants and generals who were kneeling in the hall, and his tone was coercive.

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers lowered their heads. Treating the victims was a thankless task. What's more, everyone knew that the treasury was empty and they might need to replace themselves, so no one stepped forward.

The emperor looked at these people and became even more angry.

"Shen Aiqing, tell me!" The emperor cast his gaze on Shen Weixun.

Shen Weixun stood up, and was not surprised by the emperor's move. After all, there are so many corrupt officials hiding in the court, but His Majesty likes to use the art of balancing. Even if some of his officials have never bribed, as long as the royal family is not involved, Your Majesty pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"I believe that the most important thing at the moment is to appease the victims, so that they can have rice porridge to eat first!" As he said this, Shen Weixun thought of the slender figure he had obtained these days.

In this court, many officials turned a blind eye while receiving their salaries, but that woman used herself to save the victims, even using her own money. This made Shen Weixun realize why he had to donate in silence. She wanted the royal family to let the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty know about her righteous deed.

"In the past few days, the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Wu'an has a kind heart and has set up a porridge shed outside the city to temporarily comfort the victims!" Shen Weixun said.

Another reason for him to do this was to allow Lin Jianyue to improve her status in Qingyang City. After all, since Lin Jianyue and the prince broke off their engagement, many people were watching the joke secretly, and he wanted to help her.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

No one expected that while they were here pushing each other, a woman would stand up before them. Such behavior was truly righteous.

"But that girl Lin?" The king was surprised, but he thought of that figure in his mind.Emperor Dongshan also watched Lin Jianyue grow up. When she was a child, Lin Jianyue often followed her father into the palace. She was pleasant-looking and smart, and very lovable.

Later, she became the prince's fiancée, and the queen often summoned her. Emperor Dongshan remembered that the child always gave many things.As the head of a country, he has never seen any good things, but the things that girl gives him always please him. Sometimes he even feels that it would be great if this girl was his princess, but it is a pity.
Emperor Dongshan glanced at the prince who was still kneeling down, with a complicated look in his eyes.

At this time, Yang Shi'an did not expect that Lin Jianyue was already serving porridge. If Lin Jianyue was still his fiancée at this time, then this move would definitely bring him great fame. But now, Everyone just thought that the prince was ignorant.

Especially when Yang Shi'an thought of Lin Yuqing who was imprisoned in the house, he even felt the gap between the two sisters.

"I believe that this trip by the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an is an example of a woman, and she should be rewarded by Your Majesty!" An old minister from the neutral faction stood up.

There were many military generals who came forward. Although Chen Jingchi did not speak, he knew that those military generals were his confidants. How could he suddenly come forward to ask His Majesty to praise a woman without his permission.

"Well, that girl Lin is indeed good!" Emperor Dongshan showed a somewhat gratified smile. At this time, everyone looked at His Majesty's attitude towards Lin Jianyue, and some people were very lively.

"Father, the victims are now in dire straits. I am willing to do my best to comfort the victims!" At this time, Yang Bing stood up.

Emperor Dongshan looked down at the third prince below and pondered for a moment.

"Then leave this matter to the third prince, who will surely appease the victims! Let the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate funds!" Emperor Dongshan said.In fact, comforting the victims can gain good reputation and prestige. In the past, this matter was usually left to the prince, but the prince's behavior in recent times has become more and more disappointing to His Majesty, so he deliberately ignored the prince and gave him a beating.

"My son, I will not disappoint my father!" Yang Bing spoke passionately.

Emperor Dongshan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let the Minister of Dali Temple assist!"

"Official, obey the order!" Shen Weixun accepted the order, his eyes fell on Yang Bing, but Yang Bing returned an unscrupulous look, and their eyes met.

At this time, tents were set up one after another outside the city.

A graceful figure stood next to the steaming porridge. The victims were hunched over and holding bowls in their hands. Lin Jianyue scooped up a spoonful of porridge and placed it in the bowl.

"Thank you, miss! Thank you, miss!" The victim wearing rags suddenly knelt down towards Lin Jianyue.

"Please get up! You don't have to do this!" Lin Jianyue quickly put down the ladle and raised the woman's arms without hesitation.

"Miss, don't get your hands dirty, women's bodies are dirty!" The woman held the bowl and backed away quickly, with uneasiness in her eyes.

But Lin Jianyue didn't dislike it at all, and directly helped the woman up, saying softly, "It's just a temporary disaster, and it will pass!"

The woman nodded repeatedly, with tears flashing in her eyes, "Miss is kind-hearted. If it weren't for Miss, we would have starved to death on the roadside long ago! We can't repay Miss's kindness. We will have to work as cows and horses in the next life." Repay the favor, miss!”

At the same time, hundreds of victims were seen kneeling down, and their eyes were all filled with gratitude. At this moment, Lin Jianyue was no different from the fairy who rescued the victims.
