Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 268 It's Raining

At the beginning of June, Beijing entered the hottest time.

Many people were waiting for the emperor's order to leave the palace to escape the summer heat, but in the early morning of this day, they received a rush from Master Gao of Liangzhe Road.

It is said that there is a large area of ​​torrential rain in the south, which may gather rain and cause disasters. Please order the imperial court to activate emergency measures.

The memorial was read out at the court meeting, and the ministers below had different reactions.

However, most people think that this is Mr. Gao's unreasonable worry, deliberately exaggerating the situation.

This summer in the south of the Yangtze River has a lot of heavy rain. In previous years, it rained for five or six days without any floods. It has only been three days, and emergency measures must be activated...

At the moment, someone came forward, citing examples from previous years, and they all ridiculed Mr. Gao for grandstanding. This is because he just took office and wanted to make a contribution.

Even Qin Yushi, who has always been in the name of justice, came out and said that it is not a trivial matter to start emergency measures, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. If the sky clears after three days of rain, then these manpower and material resources will be wasted. Who will be responsible for the waste of money and people?
Cai Xiang followed suit and didn't say anything against Mr. Gao, but only said how much manpower and money would be spent if emergency measures were activated.

Even Prime Minister Han agreed.

The emperor hesitated a little.

Mr. Gao grew up with him since he was a child, so he naturally understands Mr. Gao's personality.

That is a cautious one, if it is not [-]% certain, it will never be accepted.

However, the ministers in the court are also right.

In previous years, there were no floods for ten days or so, how could there be floods in the next three days?

Moreover, Mr. Gao's book not only said that two Zhejiang roads should be used for disaster prevention, but also disaster prevention together with Anhui, two lakes, and Fujian.

With so much involved, he was a little suspicious of Mr. Gao's original intention.

However, when the people below said such things about Mr. Gao, he felt a little unhappy.

His face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Your family means that there is no possibility of a flood, so there is no need to prevent it. If there is a flood at that time, everyone, what should I say?"

This question is so level that even Prime Minister Cai feels speechless...

Who dares to give you an answer!

There are unpredictable things in the sky, if it really continues to rain, then there will be floods.

However, at this time, shouldn't we conduct research with reason and evidence?For example, in order not to cause unnecessary losses, put the matter on hold for a while, and if there is a flood, it is okay to start it later.

Now, what we should discuss is that Mr. Gao dared to make such an offer without any factual basis. Once it caused unnecessary losses, it would be a crime of dereliction of duty. , should be replaced!
Emperor, when did your problem of not speaking according to the routine start!
"My Majesty, although this is the case, I feel that this matter is still unacceptable. If there is a natural disaster, I am afraid that the flood has not yet occurred, and the man-made disaster has already occurred." Han Xiang came out and said.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty." A group of courtiers also echoed.

The emperor glanced at Han Xiang, then raised his eyes to Cai Xiang and Qin Yushi, and then his eyes swept over the courtiers who spoke.

There was a hint of coolness on the back of the spine.

This is the first time since he ascended the throne, he has truly realized that he has no right to speak above the government.

At this moment, he didn't know how to refute these people's words.

Yun Shilang looked left and right, then looked at the emperor's face, coughed lightly, and came out and said, "My majesty, I think that although it has only rained for three days, the magnitude of the rain cannot be measured by time." , Even if emergency measures are not activated, the imperial court should send people down to take some precautions to prevent problems before they happen."

The emperor's face softened a little, and the tone in his heart also came out a little, and he softened his voice and said: "Yun Qing is right, human life is at stake! You only think about how many people and how much money you want, Have you ever thought about how many lives will be lost in the south of the Yangtze River once there is a flood? In this matter, according to what Yun Qing said, Yun Qing sent a few people down to cooperate with Mr. Gao to do preventive matters, and to pass on my will and order it to be always Bai Cheng led the imperial guards to stay in Hangzhou to support Mr. Gao in his work."

Han Xiang glanced sideways at Waiter Yun, and then looked at the emperor's face, knowing that this matter could not push the emperor into a hurry.

Otherwise, if there is really a flood, he will be the first to fail to please.

Then he responded, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Han Xiang spoke up, and even if others disagreed, they could only agree.

After the dynasty was over, many ministers deliberately avoided Minister Yun and walked with Minister Cai and Minister Han.

"Mr. Han, you..." an official called out and winked at the palace.

Why did you let this step in the end?

Han Xiang smiled and said: "Although the emperor doesn't understand political affairs, there is nothing wrong with what he said. Human life is at stake, and it must not be ignored. Moreover, it is only a few people, and it will not cost much."

The people around immediately understood.

This is Han Xiang saving face for the emperor.

As for the people sent there, I still don't want to get involved. I don't know if there is a flood, but those who dare to go must first offend Cai Xiang and Han Xiang.

What's more, the weather is hot now, and it's hard work to patrol those dams and so on. If there is a flood, it is dangerous. If there is no flood, it will be a waste of time, and you will be laughed at.

Yun Shilang strolled aside, seeing the eyes of those people looking over, he unconsciously sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, I hope Sanlang didn't make a wrong judgment this time.

"Master Yun." Someone called from behind.

Yun Shilang paused, and raised his eyebrows unconsciously when he saw the person coming: "Master Niu?"

He and this Mr. Niu have been in different departments and had no personal relationship before. It was only after Yun Qinghong and Mr. Niu made friends that the two of them met once or twice.

Unexpectedly, at this time, those people who had been friends with him or even courted him in the past would stay far away, but this one came forward in front of everyone.

"What Master Yun said is very true." Master Niu walked up to Shilang Yun, and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for me to have such a king who loves the people as if he is a son. If Master Yun chooses someone, the boy is not talented, but he is young. It’s okay to run errands or something.”

Yun Shilang's heart moved, and he cupped his hands to Master Niu and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir."

It is indeed difficult to get these incumbent officials to go. Even if the transfer order is directly lowered, maybe those people will find a way to refuse.

However, many of the Jinshi just obtained this year have not yet officially appointed officials.

Those people have not been blackened by this officialdom, and there are still some passionate people who can be used.

Last night, Yun Qinghong got the news of Jiangnan's memorial, so he asked him to have a secret talk.

Yun Qinghong asserted that Mr. Gao's book was definitely not obtained blindly because he was not familiar with government affairs. In all likelihood, there will be a major flood in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, he also asserted that today the court will overwhelmingly oppose the emperor, and some people even want to take the opportunity to replace Mr. Gao.

And at this time, it was their opportunity for the Yun family.

Now their Yun family can only have a future if they stand firmly on the emperor's side and work hard for the emperor.

Yun Qinghong said that he and Yun Shenshui were going to Jiangnan.

Then, the entourage, let's take these newly promoted Scholars and see how many people have the vision to seize this opportunity.
