The matter was caused by the severe drought in Hebei this year.

Guochao's smooth weather for five or six years finally came to an abrupt end this year.

The entire Hebei Road has not had a drop of rain since the beginning of spring...

Guochao is not short of grain now, and the Changping warehouse is always full. In the past ten years, the price of rice has always remained at a low price of [-] cents per bucket.

However, among the people of the country, there are still a few people who can afford to buy food for a year.Most of the people still live on the products of the fields every year.

And the government can only do porridge to ensure that no one will die of starvation in a disaster year.

Zhao Xi really thought that the imperial court would directly provide food for the victims, just like the disaster relief in later generations... It was a wild idea.

It's very strange, those victims are very strange, the imperial court has sent a large amount of grain to Hebei Road, but the victims still come to Bianliang in a steady stream.

Zhao Xi even ordered the Imperial City Secretary and the court to send people to thoroughly investigate the issue of disaster relief food, and emphasized that once anyone found corrupting disaster relief food, no matter their position or status, they would be killed without mercy.

As a result, all the relief food was used for the victims, and even the local officials contributed their share, which still couldn't stop the victims from coming to Bianliang.

"Workshop City needs to increase the number of special trains for transporting grain to ensure the cost of the capital and Hebei Road. The water transport yamen must also be activated to transport grain as much as possible. All the usual business of transporting goods should stop immediately and focus on transporting grain. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

"The envoy of the Third Division monitors the turmoil of food prices in the market. Anyone who takes the opportunity to drive up food prices or deceive the public with false rumors will be seized and their property will be confiscated!"

"Notify Jingdong Road, Jingxi Road, and inventory Changping warehouses. If there is a problem with the grain transportation channel, we will be ready to mobilize grain to support Jingshi and Hebei Road at any time."

"In addition, with the Guangnan East-West Route New Army launching a certain scale of gunpowder drills on the border of Annan, Dali should also cooperate with Guangnan Road to carry out exercises to deter Annan from using food at this point and threatening."

"The imperial court sent important ministers to Guangnan to preside over military affairs, and gave them the right to make timely decisions and act cheaply. If Annan makes any changes, he will lead the army to teach a lesson at any time! Of course, if Annan behaves properly, if we have nothing to do, we will deal with it as a borderline quarrel..."

"Kaifeng Prefecture must do a good job in the resettlement of refugees. Prevent theft, fire prevention, epidemic prevention, and chaos prevention. If necessary, the new army can intervene with the permission of the Zhengshitang."

"The Ministry of Rites informed the Cuju Express that a special column must be kept every day for the publication of disaster relief notices, from the porridge location, on-duty officials, cooperating officials, etc., to be published in plain text."

"We must inform the Bianliang subjects of the imperial court's grain reserves and grain transportation to ensure that no one will take the opportunity to cause chaos."

"This is a state of emergency. I am ordering now. In the state of emergency, all the imperial court's regulations will be set aside for me. If anyone has the will to check my gains and losses as a king, he will either wait for the disaster to pass, or send me a memorial before you." At the same time, please go out directly! No rebuttal will be accepted at this time!"

This was the court meeting, and Zhao Xi didn't follow the rules at all. He interrupted Han Qi when he came out to report, and then began to arrange for the disaster situation.

"The Zhengshitang must arrange a certain number of censors to go to Hebei Province to supervise the disaster relief work. Anyone found to be unfavorable to the disaster relief behavior will be recorded in the record. According to the seriousness of the case, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Officials for evaluation and use, or it will be dealt with after the disaster is over. .”

"There are other things that can't be considered. The government affairs hall should be completed as soon as possible, and it should be documented and issued to the relevant state government offices...~"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xi looked at His Majesty's servants...~waiting for them to express their views.

As I said, this is a state of emergency and no rebuttal is accepted.

When did Guochao have this situation?This official arrangement stunned the entire courtiers.

inappropriate?Officials have said that this is a state of emergency.What's more, although the official arrangement is a bit tough and cruel in terms of punishment, it is not an exaggeration in this state.

For a while?Han Qi felt that the officials had been staring at him for a while.

"The minister leads the decree..."

Han Qi still made a statement.

"The minister leads the decree..."

The husbands finally expressed their views one by one.

To be honest, Zhao Xi's approach was indeed a bit arbitrary, but he had to.

Seeing that more and more disaster victims outside Bianliang City are gathering, and the grain transportation in the workshop city is almost at its limit, but the water transportation is procrastinating.

Moreover, food prices on the market are showing signs of rising again.

At this time, we have to let the court gather to discuss, dilly-dally, and wait for the court to settle, maybe the food price will get out of control, and the victims may also be chaotic and out of control.

Zhao Xi had no intention of adding any more Xiang troops.

"Forgive me for the punishment..."

In this way, someone still came out with a memorial.At that moment, Zhao Xi really wanted to grab something and throw it at his grandson's face.

"speak!"

I can't help but say it, but Zhao Xi's tone is really chilling.

"Your Majesty, the sages once said that the one who is in charge, the emperor is responsible for managing yin and yang, following the four seasons, cultivating the best of all things, controlling the princes of the four barbarians outside, and being close to the people inside... The king is not known as evil, and his ministers are not known as good. All goodness belongs to the ruler, and all evil belongs to ministers."

"Nowadays, there is a ruler who is in charge of Wang Jiefu. The method of crowning young crops competes with the people for profit. The method of farmland and water conservancy destroys the balance of heaven and earth. He promotes courtiers and reuses villains, causing disasters. I implore your majesty to drop the crime on Wang Jiefu and the courtiers he used. , to appease the wrath of God!"

All of a sudden Zhao Xi was a little stunned, what is this?

I thought that the punishment and forgiveness memorial was to judge these arrangements, or that the punishment was not in line with the way of the sage.

Unexpectedly, he actually mentioned Wang Anshi.Old Wang, you are so hated, you can even blame you for not raining.

The reason why Zhao Xi started to take the initiative as soon as he came up at the court meeting was because he was worried that someone would link the drought in Hebei Province with innovation, or that there was something inappropriate about him.

Unexpectedly, Wang Anshi was given this hat.

Chapter 474 This is responsibility

Can Zhao Xi leave Wang Anshi alone at this time?Certainly not.

Although framing Wang Anshi in this way is not in conflict with the handling of the disaster, he is worried that it will be dragged on him in the end, and then he will be forced to commit some crimes against himself... This end cannot be opened.

Don't make it in the end, God will need a sin edict anytime it is windy or rainy, so don't do anything every day, just write a sin edict for fun.

Zhao Xi looked at Xingshu, and his neck was still stuck.Then look at the princes and courtiers who are ready to watch the excitement.

"Does anyone still want to play the book? It doesn't matter if you say that the king is a gentleman, or you think that the king has lost his virtue. There should be someone else?"

"Postpone it, or hand me a note if you have anything you want to say. Now, I only need ministers who have the ability to deal with disasters, and put all my mind on dealing with disasters!"

"What the imperial court needs to do now is to unite as one for the disaster! As for whether it is not raining because of me as the king, or because Wang Jiefu, the minister, has provoked the heavens, let's wait until the victims are resettled and the disaster is dealt with!"

"The sages also said: the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least. At this time, the people are the first, and you should not provoke the gods, right?...~Okay, Wang Zhongzheng, disperse the dynasty!"

After speaking, Zhao Xi got up and left.The courtiers in Zichen Palace were left dumbfounded.

To be honest, Zhao Xi was being tactful.

The most annoying thing is to not do this kind of shit, and beep endlessly whenever something happens.

Before the courtiers could react, the officials had already left Zichen Palace...~What's the matter?
