Chapter 246

but?Shangguan Lin came out of the queue, clasped his fists, and said respectfully, "My Majesty, my brother is willing to serve as the Minister of Disaster Relief, go to Lingnan to fight the disaster, and resist the flood together with the local people."

As soon as Lord Shangguan's words fell, there was no sound from the sparrows in Nuoda's Golden Luan Hall. Everyone did not expect that the majestic prince would volunteer to be the disaster relief ambassador. Lord Shangguan really loves the people like a son, and the hall burst into thunderous applause.

A smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Yao's lips, with a warm face.

"Okay, you really deserve to be the blood of the royal family..." Shangguan Yao sighed in admiration, then turned around and issued an imperial edict: "Where is the Minister of the Household Department?"

The Minister of the Household Department immediately came out and knelt down respectfully: "The minister is here."

"Immediately allocate 30 taels of silver for flood fighting and disaster relief."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Shangguan Yao ordered the Ministry of War again in a deep voice: "Where is the servant of the Ministry of War?"

Lan Qinglun went out immediately, because the Minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Ye, was seriously injured in bed, so he did not go to court. The affairs of the Ministry of War are entirely up to Lan Qinglun to decide. Lan Qinglun is extremely vigilant, and will report everything he does every day Lord Ye Siyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is very satisfied with Ye Siyuan, and feels relieved to hand over the power to him for the time being.

"The minister is here."

"Allow a team of elite soldiers to escort the silver and protect the safety of Shangguan Prince."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lan Qinglun took the order and stepped back.

The early court resolution, the emperor retreated, and the ministers dispersed, Shangguan Lin's expression was cold, his whole body was quiet, and even the surrounding air was extremely cold.

Even though many ministers were afraid, there were still one or two people who were not afraid of death came to say hello.

Lan Qinglun smiled elegantly, raised his eyebrows, and clasped his fists together: "The prince really loves the people like a son."

"It's easy to say..." Shangguanlin didn't have the slightest affection for Lan Qinglun, he only thought that this person would be flattering and flattering, and would make the emperor feel at ease. He even let him take charge of the Ministry of War. I'm afraid that the power of the Ye family will soon be lost. Falling into this man's hands, the more Shangguan Lin thinks about it, the more amusing he is, let the emperor and the Ye family fight, the queen mother will not sit idly by, it will be fun then.

Shangguanlin sneered and left the Golden Luan Hall with Lan Qinglun one after the other, reminding him as if he remembered something.

"Lord Lan, you need to pick some good soldiers. If something goes wrong with this king, or if something goes wrong with the 30 disaster silver, this king will not spare you."

Lan Qinglun immediately put on a smiling face. He seemed to have no temper forever, and he was so handsome that he couldn't be hated. But Shangguanlin just didn't like him and never gave him a good look.

"Don't worry, my lord."

The two broke up outside the palace gate, and followed the flow of people all the way to the outside of the palace.

When Shangguanlin returned to the palace, he immediately found the housekeeper and ordered all the servants in the palace to be sent out. The housekeeper didn't know what happened and was frightened. Shangguanlin didn't bother to explain. The emperor asked him, didn't he just want to set up a trap to harm him?Lingnan is not far from Yanjing, and there are thousands of miles. Nothing will happen along the way. If something happens to the disaster bank, he will not be able to escape. On the contrary, if something happens to others, it will be a natural or man-made disaster. On the field, the emperor can get rid of such an opponent as him.

Sure enough, as Shang Guanlin expected, he encountered no less than ten robbery robbers along the way, big and small. Unfortunately, the silver taels were replaced with bricks and stones, and the real 30 taels of silver was secretly stolen from the waterway by his capable confidantes. Ship it out, and then store it in the bank of the country. As long as they go to the neighboring counties near Lingnan, they can get the disaster money, and they don't need to escort them all the way. The most important thing is that the emperor ordered the household department to prepare the cash. Why not The 30 taels of silver bills are required, so that is not foolproof.

However, the able-bodied subordinates said that the 30 taels of official silver that traveled by water was also robbed. If someone hadn't secretly helped, the 30 taels of disaster silver would have been robbed, and Shangguan Lin broke into a cold sweat. It's not that they are afraid of death, but that this is life-saving money for Lingnan and two counties. Now that the counties and counties are flooded, it is difficult for the victims to eat and wear clothes. If they lose their money, how many people will die.

Fortunately, God bless, no major problems.

A group of people rushed to Lingnan with dozens of boxes of bricks. They encountered dozens of robbers along the way, but they were all repelled. The most important thing was that they were helped along the way.

Shangguan Yao was inexplicably surprised, who was helping him secretly?He has never had very good friends, except for a few capable confidants, he has no other friends. Although he considers Leng Yue a friend, but it is thousands of miles away, it is impossible for Leng Yue to come here to help He, then who else will help him?

After more than ten days of non-stop, when they arrived at Lingnan, Shangguan Yao ordered Mu Li and Qiao Chu to go to a nearby bank to take out part of the cash and escort them all the way to Lingnan.

Lingnan County is slightly larger than ordinary county towns. Looking at it at this moment, it is hard to tell where is the farm and where is the depression. From the outside of the city to the inside of the city, it is all spread in the water.

The sky is filled with light rain, the rain curtain is all over the sky, and the mist rises from the water.

Looking at the people from the opposite side, Shangguanlin couldn't figure out what the current situation in the city was like. From far and near, he could only see rotten vegetable leaves, rotten tree leaves, clothes, shoes and socks, and even wooden tables and chairs floating on the river. Floating on it, there were cries everywhere in my ears.

Shangguan Yao's heart tightened, and he felt an inexplicable throbbing pain. Because of the situation in front of him, he had nothing in his mind at this moment, and the only prerequisite for the moment was to save the victims.

"Muli, immediately investigate the sheriff and sheriff and other officials, where are you now?"

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

Mu Li waved his hand and led a few people, and went all the way into the city to inquire, while Shangguanlin continued to distribute Qiao Chu, who was beside him: "You and I brought people to rescue them, choose a high place, and send them to one place. close."

"My lord, be careful."

Qiao Chu was worried, and repeatedly reminded him, but the prince had already led the people behind him to walk forward, all the way to the city, and along the way, he saw adults holding children, and young and strong people supporting the elderly, but that was it. The water has already reached the belly, people can't stay in the water for a long time, they will catch cold and get sick. Many of them have pale faces, and they are even more exhausted because they haven't eaten. If you want to delay any longer, just The number of people who are afraid of death will increase.

Shangguanlin had already learned about Lingnan County along the way, and knew that there was a mountain not far from the city, so he shouted all the way: "Move to the mountain immediately, everyone move to the mountain immediately, and start shaking the disaster and releasing food immediately, Everyone move up the mountain."

Hearing that there was food, the victims immediately regained their energy. They all looked at Shangguanlin suspiciously. Seeing that they were wearing the official uniforms of the imperial court, they no longer doubted them. As long as they were able to move and walk, they all went all the way to the outside of the city. Go, transfer to the mountain.
