Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

Hearing this, Li Er nodded and walked up the imperial steps.

In fact, Li Er didn't plan to blame anyone for the plague in Hedong. After all, Tang didn't have much experience in plague.

Although there was a smallpox plague in Lantian County of Chang'an area a few years ago, it never broke out, and Qin Mu strangled it in the cradle.

The most important thing is that he also came up with a good way to inoculate vaccinia once and for all.

Therefore, this experience value is too low.

On the dragon chair, before the trial, Li Er clasped his hands together and stood on the case.

In fact, today's matter was discussed when Li Chengqian returned to the palace last night.

Of course, Li Er also knew that this was all Qin Mu's ghost idea, but it couldn't be called a ghost idea, it could only be said that Qin Mu had seen through the essence of this matter.

It's about solving problems, not people.

Followed by.

Li Er looked at Liu Zhenghui in the center of the hall, and said slowly, "Zhenghui, don't just stand there and talk about your thoughts. After all, you are the governor of Hedong. From the beginning to the end, you understand the whole process of the plague in Hedong Road .”

Liu Zhenghui was born in the Liu family in Henan.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Liu Zhenghui served as Sima of Yingyang Mansion in Taiyuan.

Later, he led the army to seek refuge with the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and was sent to Taiyuan to report Wang Wei and Gao Junya for rebellion. He was one of the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he was ordered to stay in Taiyuan and manage the rear area. After Liu Wuzhou captured Taiyuan, Liu Zhenghui was captured by the enemy, but he was loyal and unyielding, and he was notoriously tough.

Conquered the country for the Li family and made indelible achievements.

Li Er has no doubts about his loyalty to Datang, he is a great hero of the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Li Er calling him, Liu Zhenghui was startled, and then faltered and said: "Return...Return to Your Majesty, guilty minister...criminal minister..."

Being called suddenly, Liu Zhenghui was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment.

To be honest, he is the minister of the Great Tang. Since the founding of the Great Tang, he has always made meritorious deeds and has never made any mistakes.

He felt a little ashamed to be standing in the palace as a guilty minister now.

Followed by.

Li Er looked at him and said lightly: "Zhenghui, you don't have to be nervous, and you don't have to blame yourself. You are the governor of Hedong. You can't escape the crime this time. But this incident did have a reason. I also understand your difficulty. .”

"This time is the opportunity I've given you to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."

"As long as you can tell the truth about this matter, I will pardon you of your innocence and continue to serve as governor of Hedong. From now on, this matter will never be mentioned again."

The words fall.

Liu Zhenghui looked up at Li Er, dumbfounded and shocked.

He had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't make it to this point. He even thought about his life after returning home.

Unexpectedly, Li Er actually said that he would be given a chance to be a new man.

But the more so, the more uncomfortable Liu Zhenghui felt.

Liu Zhenghui's eyes were scarlet, and he couldn't help crying, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... this old minister is guilty, and this old minister deserves death. This old minister has failed your trust in him."

Liu Zhenghui cried and knelt on the court hall, feeling unspeakably sad.

He felt sorry for Li Er and Datang.

It was so sad to see Liu Zhenghui crying.

All the officials, civil and military, felt nervous, because his reputation in the court was still very good.

"Sigh... It's really not easy for Mr. Liu to have such a incident in Hedong. He is quite old."

"Who says it's not? I heard that when the plague was raging, Mr. Liu didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, and then he passed out abruptly."

"The plague is a force majeure factor, and this time only more than [-] officials have neglected their duties, which is very small. Last year, the Jiangnan flood caused more than [-] officials to be beheaded by the son-in-law."

"Your Majesty is also a sensible person, so His Majesty already understands the difficulty of Lord Liu."

......

All the officials in the palace were talking about it, but most of them felt sorry for Liu Zhenghui. It was really not easy to worry so much in his sixtieth year.

Looking at the sad Liu Zhenghui.

Li Er pressed his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the political meeting, don't be sad, I know your sacrifices, and I understand your powerlessness, otherwise I wouldn't listen to what you say here, and I wouldn't give it to you. An opportunity to serve a crime and do meritorious service."

"Although merit and demerit cannot be offset, I will never let you take the blame for this matter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Zhenghui kowtowed to Li Er, then stood up, and said slowly: "Your Majesty told the guilty minister to speak, and the guilty minister will speak."

"About the Hedong plague, the guilty minister has three things to say."

"The first is the people. The panic of the common people about the plague has really exceeded the expectations of the criminals. They think that this is God's punishment on Hedong. Know."

"The second is the officials. Some officials are even more exaggerated than the common people. When they learned that the plague was sweeping through Hedong, they immediately put down their government affairs and fled back to the mansion to pretend to be dead. However, the conscientious officials also have little awareness of and prevention of the plague. method of control."

"The third is the soldiers. There is no good awareness of cooperative defense and control between officials and commanders. When the plague comes, each takes care of his own, and the two are irrelevant."

"There is no common sense of prevention, no cognition, and no sense of coordination among the civilians, officials, and soldiers."

"This is the fundamental problem that led to the explosive spread of the Hedong plague."

"Victory can only be achieved if all parties work together."

Chapter 9 and One: Qin Mu questioned, the prince appeared (1/5)

In the Hall of Liangyi.

Li Er and all civil and military officials listened to Liu Zhenghui's words and nodded in agreement.

Regarding the plague, for Hedong, people are the most threatened, including officials, civilians, and soldiers...

Followed by.

Li Er looked at Liu Zhenghui and asked, "Zhenghui, you continue to talk about how the local government should deal with such disasters as plagues and floods in the future."

heard.

Liu Zhenghui saluted and continued: "I believe that a separate emergency response department should be established in the local area to deal with emergencies, coordinate communication and cooperation among officials, soldiers, and civilians, and jointly respond to emergencies."

Li Er listened, frowning deeply, then scanned the hall.

He found Qin Mu in the corner and shook his head slightly after listening.

immediately.

Li Er looked at Qin Mu and said in a deep voice, "Qin Mu, do you think Master Liu's suggestion is feasible?"

heard.

Qin Mu stood up and walked forward.

at the same time.

The eyes of all the Chinese and military officials in the palace were all looking at Qin Mu in the corner.

Seeing Qin Mu slowly getting up and approaching, everyone frowned and thought secretly.

The son-in-law has done a great job in helping the disaster in Hedong this time, it is obvious to all, there is no doubt about it.

Whether it is the plague prevention and control policies, insecticides, disinfectants, sprayers, or special medicines for treating malaria, they are all created by the concubine.

Although Li Chengqian stabilized the hearts of the people, his contribution was not small.But without Qin Mu, it would be a matter of time before the disaster victims had a second turmoil.

The most important thing is that Li Chengqian was originally the son-in-law's closed disciple, and his style and method of doing things are exactly the same as the son-in-law's.

Therefore, in Li Chengqian's outstanding achievements, there is also a strong stroke of Qin Mu.

At this time, Qin Mu got up, and everyone was looking forward to the answer from the son-in-law, wanting to see what kind of shocking remarks it was.

Under the royal steps.

Qin Mu stood in front of Li Chengqian, which was the privilege Li Erxu gave him.

Above the court, apart from the old eunuch Wang De, Qin Mu is the closest to Li Er.

This symbolizes his status as the son-in-law, Duke of Zhen.

Even if it is the prince, he has to stand aside.

Of course, Li Chengqian was also willing, even happy, because Qin Mu was still the prince and grand master after all.

Qin Mu looked at Li Er, bowed slightly, "Return to Your Majesty, I think Master Liu's method is not worth the loss."

After the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall.

Liu Zhenghui was also shocked. This method, he had carefully considered. After experiencing the plague in Hedong Road, he felt that he had a strong understanding of the plague.

Civil and military officials are also talking about it.

"I feel that Mr. Liu's words make some sense. When the plague appears, the victims are not human beings? There is no problem if all parties are linked together."

"It's hard to say, the son-in-law said no, he must have his own unique insights, let's listen to what the son-in-law has to say."

"Although I don't know what the son-in-law is going to say, I must support the son-in-law without thinking."

"Nonsense, it's up to you to talk about it. Who else understands disaster relief better than the son-in-law? Smallpox, earthquakes, floods, severe drought, malaria... The disasters that the son-in-law has experienced are worse than yours." Many lifetimes."

"Haha... What you said is rough, but there is nothing wrong with it."

The civil and military officials expressed their opinions, but they did not question Qin Mu. After all, it is indeed Qin Mu who has more experience in fighting disasters and has the most right to speak.

Moreover, they didn't expect that Qin Mu had paid so much for Tang without knowing it, and the most dangerous place would always be the figure of the son-in-law who took the lead.

"Oh?" Li Er said in a low voice, frowning slightly, "Since you said that what the political council said was wrong, what good strategy do you have?"

Qin Mu replied: "It's not that what Mr. Liu said is wrong, there is nothing wrong with his analysis, it's just that the solution is not right."

"As we all know, although the damage of natural disasters is huge, their frequency of occurrence is not high. In the past two years, although we have experienced a lot of natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty, there are only a handful of them. Moreover, it does not involve the entire Tang Dynasty, but just a few state roads."

"If we set up a separate department for this reason, how many departments should we set up and how many officials should we employ?"

"In this way, there will definitely be redundant officials. More than [-]% of the officials in this emergency department will have nothing to do within five years. Not to mention the lack of pay, even if this department is established, who can guarantee that after five years, there will be no job. Seeing the same problem, they still have the ability to solve it?"

"I'm afraid it has long been stuffed with relatives by individual officials."

The words fall.

Li Er and all the officials in the palace froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Listening to Qin Mu's analysis in this way, it is indeed the truth. If this is the case, the gain outweighs the loss, even if you don't care about the funds, regardless of the cost of the investment.

But the most critical issue is that once an emergency occurs in the area, these officials may not be able to provoke the leader at that time.

If so, it is indeed a meaningless fool's project.

Followed by.

Liu Zhenghui bowed slightly to Qin Mu, "After listening to what the son-in-law said, the old minister has some insights, and it is exactly as the son-in-law said. This method will cause redundant officials, but the old minister didn't think carefully."

What Qin Mu said convinced him, and he had nothing to refute.

Followed by.

Li Er pondered: "Since this is the case, Qin Mu, do you have a more appropriate solution? Since we have spent so much effort discussing this matter today, we must not shelve it because of this."

Hearing this, Qin Mu smiled slightly, "I would like to hear His Highness the Crown Prince's opinion."

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Li Chengqian behind him.

listen to him.

All the officials in the palace looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian also hesitated slightly, just now he was thinking of ways to prevent it.

"Prince, what are your thoughts?" Li Er glanced at his eldest son.

After Li Chengqian came back from Hedong this time, Li Er felt that his eldest son had grown up very well, and he knew more and more how to be a king.

Originally, what Li Er hoped most was that Li Chengqian could go deep into the people, understand the people, and comfort the people. Only in this way can he think what the people think and do what the people do.

At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, if he wanted to support the people, he would not impose excessive taxes or increase corvee taxes.The money for traveling in the mountains and rivers and building Qionglou Yuyu was used to benefit the people, so why did the people live in desperation, and the world revolted and overthrew the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took the blame on himself and could not blame others.

Carrying Li Er's words.
