Biography of Ilha in Qing Chuan

Chapter 79

"Brother Liu, where are you taking your people so early in the cold weather?" It was the newcomer who commanded the infantry in the yamen who spoke.The man called Brother Liu spat on the ground, stomped his feet and rubbed his hands and said, "Don't mention it, Chongwenmen came to report last night that many refugees came from outside the city. We are all heading to the capital. We are busy in this snowy day, don’t stand still, kid, go back, maybe your team is on a business trip.” After speaking, he greeted his men and went to Nancheng.

Looking at the back of a group of people walking away, the man muttered a few words, "I didn't hear that there was a snow disaster nearby. Why did the victims suddenly come here? Forget it, I'd better go back to the yamen and wait for orders." Trot away in the direction of Yamen.

The ministers living in the alleys around the Forbidden City all went to the palace in sedan chairs before it was dark. Kangxi was a diligent emperor. Except for Xiu Mu, the officials have to go to court almost every day.

A small sedan chair shuttles between the high palace walls under the light of two lanterns. The weather is so cold that the white air exhaled by the bearer is more and more obvious in the night. The pearl in the sedan chair is closing its eyes and resting. He received the news from Chongwenmen last night, probably a few hours earlier than the emperor knew.Others didn't know what happened to these disaster victims who appeared suddenly, but he knew it clearly.

"It seems that the old fox Suo'etu is going to stumble this time. It's just that the timing is wrong. It's a pity." Mingzhu's ability to fight Suo'etu for so long in the court is naturally no worse than that of Suo'etu. The tricks inside.

Just as he was thinking about how he would go up and down, he felt the sedan chair stop and the servant outside said: "My lord, it seems that the sedan chair of Lord Suo'etu is in front."

After hearing this, Mingzhu lifted the curtain and stretched out her head to look out. Seeing that the lantern was indeed the sign of Suo'etu's mansion, she ordered the person who carried the sedan chair to go forward and stopped beside Suo'etu's sedan chair.

"Master Suo slept well last night!"

"Lao Mingxiang is thinking about it, last night was a good night's dream." Suo'etu couldn't understand the meaning of Mingzhu's words, he had already considered that it was impossible to hide the snow disaster in Zhili when he concealed it.Qin Tianjian had already predicted that the heavy snow this winter might be more severe than in previous years. The governor of Zhili was his own person, and he had already written a note and reported it to the court.

However, after the accident in the Jiangnan examination center, I and the prince suffered heavy losses in Jiangnan, so I had no choice but to come up with the idea of ​​Zhili disaster relief funds. Every year, it will be approved every year, and then the money will be transferred from other places to make up for it. The most urgent thing to delay is to stabilize the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

I never thought that this year's weather was so abnormal that it snowed two months earlier than usual.He also knew that there were disaster victims coming to the capital, and the crown prince had ordered him to mobilize manpower to intercept them, but some escaped the net and arrived in the capital.He used his knees to figure out that it was Mingzhu who was playing tricks.

"It seems that Lord Suo has already responded to the disaster victims outside the city. No wonder the Holy Majesty relies on the Lord. If he gets angry with the Emperor, he will look at you, Lord Suo." After finishing speaking, he put down the curtain and ordered the people who carried the sedan chair to continue. Row.

Suo'etu snorted coldly when he heard the sound of Mingzhu's sedan chair going away, and ordered him to move on.

Because Yinzhen is married and has been working with the prince for a long time, he naturally has to go to court.He stood quietly by the side with his head lowered, listening to his Huang Ama getting angry because of the disaster victims around the capital.Hearing Suo'etu and Mingzhu's two factions arguing in the court hall and shirking each other's responsibilities, they pondered secretly.Mingzhu and Suo'etu have been fighting for a long time, so it is impossible not to know about Zhili.

If you act rashly, if you don't pay attention, it will arouse the suspicion of both parties, and I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss.Sure enough, I am still a little impatient, and I still need to be patient.But when he thought of the victims outside the city, he sighed again. Although Huang Ama was good at balancing the court, the people were the ones who finally suffered because of the rivalry between the two parties.Now I don't know how many people are still starving and freezing in Zhili.

After the early court ended, the ministers did not debate and come up with a regulation. In the end, Chen Tingjing proposed to build some sheds around the capital to accommodate the victims of the disaster.

Seeing Yinzhen's poor appetite, Ilha forced him to drink a bowl of hot soup. After dinner, he ordered the waiter to go out. Ilha said: "Grandpa But there's something bothering you."
