The eldest son of the red mansion

The others also had no objection, so these five people went out of the Military Aircraft Office together, and walked quickly to the front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The eunuch on duty in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation saw the five of them coming together.I knew something big was going to happen.Quickly ran a few steps forward and came to the side of the five of them.

"My lords, could it be that something important happened and they asked to see the emperor."

Jia Ke said with a serious face: "Hurry up and report to the emperor. Just say that the five of us want to meet the emperor immediately, please meet the emperor immediately."

After hearing what Jia Ke said, the old lady immediately turned around and ran towards Dongnuange. The speed was not at all like a person of his age.

The old eunuch came to the Dongnuan Pavilion and said to the young eunuch guarding outside the Dongnuan Pavilion: "Go in and report to the emperor, the five military ministers are here to ask for an audience."

The little eunuch was favored by the emperor, so he looked down upon the old eunuch who was the gatekeeper.So yin and yang asked strangely: "Did the five of them say what's the matter? Otherwise, how can I go in and report to the emperor?"

The old eunuch was also in a hurry, but he saw that the five military ministers were all jogging over, and even the 70-year-old old man Meng Ming was not behind.

"You little monkey boy, what time is it now that you dare to act prestige? Hurry up and report to the emperor, otherwise if something serious happens, you won't be wronged if you are blown off." The old eunuch had long since disliked this little eunuch, Now it's time to give him eye drops.Let him know that ginger is still old and spicy.

When they were arguing, the emperor who was reviewing the memorial in Dongnuan Pavilion had already heard it.The emperor frowned now, what happened to the eunuchs outside?How dare they quarrel in front of Dongnuan Pavilion.

And Xia Shouzhong, who had been serving the emperor all the time, was also a little frightened.These eunuchs under him are so ignorant of the rules, if the emperor blames him, he will have to eat and chat.

"Long Live Lord, why don't you go out and take a look?" Xia Shouzhong asked the emperor softly, bowing his body.

"Well, these people under your command should be cleaned up, and they dare to make noise in front of my Dongnuan Pavilion." The emperor didn't mean to blame Xia Shouzhong, but was dissatisfied with those people under him.

After listening to the emperor's instructions, Xia Shouzhong bowed and left the East Nuan Pavilion.After exiting the inner room of Dongnuan Pavilion, he dared to straighten up and walk outside Dongnuang Pavilion.

Xia Shouzhong arrived outside Dongnuan Pavilion.I saw the gate steward of the Hall of Mental Cultivation arguing with a young eunuch who was favored by the emperor.

Chapter 412 Negotiation

When Xia Shouzhong saw the two of them arguing, he became very angry.These people are becoming more and more unruly now, and they are too disrespectful to themselves. How dare they quarrel outside Dongnuan Pavilion and make themselves look ugly in front of the emperor. Could it be that they are so far behind Dai Quan?When Dai Quan was in power, these killers were not so bold.

"You two who kill thousands of knives, dare to argue in front of the emperor's Dongnuan Pavilion, and you will die." Xia Shouzhong angrily scolded.

Only now did the two realize that Xia Shouzhong had left the East Nuan Pavilion, and they were both terrified.Their quarrel seems to have alarmed the emperor.Otherwise, Xia Shouzhong would not have come out.

The little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, "The little one is paying respects to the ancestors. There is really nothing I can do about it. The old man at the gate said that the five military ministers wanted to see the emperor, but he didn't tell the reason. How could I go in?" Report to him."

Who is Xia Shouzhong?Where can I be deceived by this child?He kicked the little eunuch aside with one kick, and then said to the eunuchs standing beside him, "Send me this little bastard to the Department of Punishment, and give me thirty boards first. If If he is not dead, let him come back to work."

In fact, Xia Shouzhong has long disliked this little eunuch. This little bastard still has some wit. During this period of time, he has been courting the emperor in every possible way, and the emperor is becoming more and more inseparable from him. If this continues , I didn’t know when I kicked myself away, and this time I hit the muzzle of the gun, and I didn’t get rid of him, that would be a strange thing.

As soon as Xia Shouzhong gave the order, several eunuchs came over and dragged the little eunuch out.The little eunuch knew that the beating was inevitable, even though his face was pale, he didn't dare to utter a sound, fearing that if the emperor was alarmed, the beating would not be enough to pay him off.

And when he left, seeing Xia Shouzhong's eyes full of resentment, it seemed that he hated Xia Shouzhong.

The old eunuch trembled when he saw the young eunuch being pulled down, but he couldn't take it anymore. If the 30 boards were beaten down, his old life would be reimbursed immediately.

Xia Shouzhong glanced at him and asked, "What's going on? Tell me carefully."

"General Manager, the five military ministers trotted to the front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now, and asked me to report to the inside that they want to see the emperor immediately. I can see that they are very anxious, and I am afraid that something important has happened."

Xia Shouzhong didn't delay after listening, turned around and re-entered the East Nuan Pavilion.

At this time, the emperor heard that there was no sound outside, so he focused on the memorial again.But before he could read a few lines, he heard footsteps from far to near.

The emperor looked up immediately, knowing that the eunuchs in the palace had rules when they walked.

As soon as the emperor raised his head, he saw Xia Shouzhong hurried in from outside.At this time, Xia Shouzhong had no rules.Seeing that he came to the emperor in a hurry, he only gave the emperor a simple thousand, and said: "Long live, the five military ministers outside are begging to see him together, and the eunuch who was watching the gate said that the five of them came in a hurry. Almost trotting to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Immediately after hearing this, the emperor stood up and said to Xia Shouzhong, "Then why are you still standing there? Get the five of them in quickly."

After Xia Shouzhong listened, he turned around and ran out quickly.This time, he didn't stop when he left the East Nuan Pavilion, and ran directly to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As soon as Xia Shouzhong arrived at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he saw all the military ministers waiting there.

"Five lords, the emperor ordered me to come forward to deliver a message, please go in and see him quickly." Xia Shouzhong had already shouted before they reached the five of them.

After hearing this, Jia Ke and the five people immediately entered the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, then turned to the side and turned to the East Nuan Pavilion.They also come to this place often, and they are already familiar with it.

Jia Ke and the others arrived outside Dongnuan Pavilion, Xia Shouzhong went in to report, and they waited outside for the emperor's greeting.

Not long after, Xia Shouzhong came out again, and said to Jia Ke and the others, "Long Live Lord, five adults, please come in."

Jia Ke and the others were also polite, and entered the East Nuan Pavilion together.The emperor is now sitting on the throne in Dongnuange.

Jia Ke and others knelt down to greet the emperor according to etiquette.

"All my lovers, get up, and tell me quickly if you have anything to say." The emperor was actually impatient, and he didn't care about those trivial details.

The five of them looked at each other, and then it was Jia Ke who took a step forward, took out the eight-hundred-mile urgent report from his bosom, put his hands over his head and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Anhui has sent an eight-hundred-mile urgent report." Heavy rains fell on both sides of the Huaihe River, and now the embankment has burst, and millions of people on both sides of the river have been affected."

After hearing this, the emperor immediately stood up, came to Jia Ke in a few steps, and took the report from him.Just stood there and watched.

In the beginning, he was still calm.Later, he also felt that his legs were a little weak, and Xia Shouzhong who was next to him hurriedly supported him and helped him back to the throne.

After reading the memorial of the emperor sitting on the throne, anger appeared on his face.It became very clear that this must have been caused by cutting corners on the embankment.

There is no reason. This year, the river yamen only lost more than 100 million taels of silver, and the embankments on both sides of the Huaihe River could not hold on.Could it be that the millions of taels of silver invested every year in the past were all in vain?

The emperor barely held back his anger, "This is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster. If those people in Hedao hadn't been corrupt and broke the law, it wouldn't have caused today's catastrophe. What do you guys think should be done?"

Zuodu Yushi Tianye stood up first and said: "Long live, we can't do anything else now. Let's do disaster relief first. Otherwise, if the millions of disaster victims are incited by others, it will be a catastrophe in the end. "

Liu Yu fully agreed with his opinion, and at this time also stood up and said: "Long Live Lord, Tian Ye's words are golden and good words. If you are a veteran and seek the country, you should first allocate grain and grass from various treasuries and rescue disasters as soon as possible."

Jia Ke was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid that there are not so many grains and grasses in various places. There are really some problems with the administration of officials in these years. I am afraid that half of the grains in warehouses in various places are good now."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, the emperor said angrily, "They are still attacking each other at any time, and now it's more important to discuss disaster relief."

The emperor thought that Jia Ke was attacking Liu Yu's relaxation of the government, which led to today's catastrophe.

Jia Ke did not flinch from the emperor's anger, but said loudly: "I am telling the truth. Over the years, there have been a lot of corruption and perversion in various places, especially the grain storage road has reached the point of unscrupulous. How much grain is there in the grain storage road? Only they themselves know. Didn’t they already understand it last time to raise food for Shaanxi?”

After hearing Jia Ke's words, the emperor felt his heart pounding.He knew about the matter of the grain storage road, and it was a good thing done by his younger brother, King Zhongshun, but he had already ordered Zhongshun King to transport 500 million dans of grain to the grain storage road, which seemed to be able to last for a while.

The emperor is now beginning to rejoice, fortunately he was cruel at the time.Otherwise, the world will really be in chaos now.

"You don't have to worry that there is still some grain in the grain storage road. Take some of it out for disaster relief first, and if it's not enough, we'll think of other ways." The emperor ordered Jia Ke and the others with some confidence in his heart.

Jia Ke thought for a while and said, "I have already discussed with the military plane just now. Since there is still food in the grain storage road, please ask the emperor to allocate 300 million dan to relieve the victims of the Lianghuai disaster."

Originally, Jia Ke wanted the emperor to take out 400 million dans of grain first, but seeing that the emperor was so penniless, he could only give out 300 million dans first, depending on the situation.

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately unhappy, "Why do we need so much? I think it will be enough if we don't have 100 million dans of grain for the time being. At that time, we will open porridge sheds everywhere so that the victims will not starve to death." That's it."

At this time, Tianye, the censor of Zuodu, frowned. He didn't want to come out to speak, but after thinking about the millions of victims, he took a step forward, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid 100 million dans of food is not enough. Your Majesty didn't count it on the way." The consumption of these grains may not even be half left in the disaster area."

Tian Ye paused and then said: "There are millions of people affected by the disaster in the Lianghuai area of ​​Anhui, but as time goes by, I am afraid that more people will be sent. These grains are just a drop in the bucket."
