Ben Hou is ill

Chapter 71 Arrangement

The situation of the floods in Hedong cannot be concealed. Once the river breaks its embankment and the victims flood into the surrounding counties and counties, and even enter Beijing, the head of the governor of Hedong will be the first to fall.The governor of Hedong was quite smart, and he rushed to send the news to the capital, but he didn't know how to relieve the disaster.

The early morning came to an end in a hurry.

The eldest princess frowned, and summoned several important ministers, including the left minister, the right minister, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, into the imperial study.Yan Zhaoge also naturally followed.

"Princess, the Hukou dam was built under the supervision of Emperor Renzong five years ago. How could it show signs of breaking due to a heavy rain?" Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly said with an expression of disbelief.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong, there were only wars in the first few years of Yuan Xingchu. Emperor Renzong was not good at building palaces and building large-scale construction projects. Therefore, the treasury accumulated a lot of money, and most of it was used to repair the Hukou dam. He was the minister of the Ministry of Industry at that time. He ordered to go to the east of the river to supervise the construction of dams. Although he is not particularly proficient in water conservancy, he has seen every account with his own eyes. overwhelmed.

The eldest princess understood what he meant. The fathers and grandparents of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry were all clean and honest officials, and their reputation was very good. His wife was the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. With a small amount of money and a reputation built up by generations, he is not the kind of person who can't tolerate the sand in his eyes if he can reach the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He understands the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish. It's been a long time since.

Is it an accident?or something else?

"Eldest princess, is there something wrong with the dam, or is it raining too much this year? We can't say in Beijing, we have to send someone there to find out." The right minister said: "Besides, even if the dam is stable, the river east has already become a flood. Disaster relief must also be put on the agenda, as well as preventing the epidemic.”

Yan Zhaoge frowned, but did not speak.

She has nothing to say at the moment.

"That's it, who do you think is appropriate to send?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry immediately said: "Princess, I am willing to go for the flood control!"

He was successfully promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry because of his achievements in supervising the construction of the Hukou dam, otherwise he would have to suffer for a few more years.Seeing that there might be a problem with the dam, his official hat will also be unstable. The official position is still a trivial matter. If there are rumors that he enriches his own pockets and disregards the people, his reputation for generations will be thrown into his hands.

"If Shang Shu goes there, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry may not be appropriate."

"Your Highness!" The minister of the Ministry of Industry was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, he said: "The two ministers of the Ministry of Industry can decide on their own, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum and the princess's mansion have been properly arranged. The flood in the east of the river may be the fault of the minister, please Your Highness. Yunchen go!"

The eldest princess pondered for a while, and said: "Then let Qing go."

"Thank you, princess, for your kindness!" The minister of the Ministry of Industry asked to resign from the palace when he got an errand. The situation was urgent and he could only control the flood. Disaster relief and epidemics are not things he can do. It is meaningless to stay and listen. Why not? Go back to the Yamen and arrange everything that needs to be arranged.

The epidemic situation can only be sent by the Imperial Physician's Office, and the Imperial Physician has to order a few good-looking imperial physicians to follow.

As for the candidates for disaster relief, it is difficult.There are 24 counties in the single county of Hedong, with a population of nearly 100 million. The disaster relief is not small, so we have to find someone who can do things with ease.But as long as the disaster is not serious, disaster relief is not too difficult. There are root warehouses and wet warehouses in the east of the river, which are responsible for supplying more than half of the Guanzhong area. As long as the warehouses are opened in time to release grain, it is expected that there will not be too many refugees.

"Elder princess, I think that you should send a family member to take care of the east of the river." Zuo Xiang said: "If the governor of the east of the river is doing the relief properly, he is going to appease the people. Make a decisive decision, punish the officials in Hedong, and appease the people affected by the disaster."

The right minister said: "I think what the left minister said is true, but I think Yanhou is the most suitable candidate."

Not only Yan Zhaoge didn't expect it, but even Princess Chang was taken aback.

Zuo Xiang was also very surprised.

The right minister continued: "In ancient times, whenever natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred, the price of food would rise. In order to survive, the people affected by the disaster often sold their land at a low price. As a result, the powerful families annexed the land, took people as slaves, and allowed them to grow bigger. The country will be destroyed. The issue of Hukou’s embankment breach has not yet been clarified. There are root warehouses and wet warehouses in Hedong, which are the center of Guanzhong. There are 24 counties and 23 households. If the situation in the east of the river is corrupt, we should use thunder to frighten it. Now that the Marquis of Yan is a nobleman of the clan, and he is also in command of the Jinyiwei Commander, it is very appropriate to lead the emperor's personal soldiers to go this way."

Zuo Xiang couldn't help but twitched.

Yan Zhaoge almost laughed out loud. In his previous life, the Right Prime Minister dared to scold the Duke of Shu when all the courtiers took off their hats and knelt down to respectfully invite the Duke of Shu to ascend the throne. It is not a bad idea to say such things in front of the Zuo Prime Minister from a powerful family. No surprise.

The Eldest Princess frowned and looked at Yan Zhaoge, and said, "What do Marquis Yan think?"

Yan Zhaoge thought about it for a while, no matter whether it is disaster relief or killing, she is quite experienced, so she said: "Princess, I am willing to go."

The eldest princess didn't answer immediately, she was weighing the pros and cons.

Sending the clan ministers is the clearest idea, and even a prince should be sent there, but the current emperor and his brothers are both in their infancy, so there is no need to think about it.The current situation in Hedong, just in case, really needs a minister who can control Hedong by means of thunder. Only the Shu and Qin clans have experience in leading troops in the clan. I haven't sat on Chang'an's side yet, so I don't think about it.Among the relatives, the Empress Dowager Chen's natal family is trash, and the only suitable candidates are Zhao Guohou and Yan Zhaoge.

It’s not impossible to send Marquis Zhao. In the private letter, the eldest princess hoped to send Marquis Zhao. In her previous life, there was indeed heavy rain in this season in Hedong, but she never received the news that the Hukou in Hedong was in danger of bursting. This is most likely caused by man-made disasters. Not a natural disaster.There are not many feudal states in the counties around Hedong. If the embankment is man-made, it must be aimed at Chang'an and aimed at her.

Is it the Duke of Shu who stayed outside?

The clan is doing something wishful thinking?

Or the remnants of the Changping Marquis Mansion?

The eldest princess couldn't figure it out, but no matter which one it was, it would be very dangerous for Yan Zhaoge to go there.

The emperor is still in his infancy, and the eldest princess is regent. Too many people are sitting on the fence.

She didn't want Yan Zhaoge to go.

"Your Highness." Yan Zhaoge didn't think of it before, but after careful consideration, she found that this job was perfect for her.

First, she doesn't need fame, even if the scholars from Hedong call her shit, she doesn't care.

Second, Jin Yiwei is a knife. As long as the emperor needs it, he can kill the corrupt Hedong officials with a single order, and the blood will flow like a river.

Thirdly, she dared to kill people, she dared to clear the officialdom in Hedong for the eldest princess, and she didn't have to worry about falling into the fate of Zhidu Yizong and others.

"The minister is willing to go to the east of the river to relieve the disaster, please allow it, Your Highness!"

The eldest princess was silent for a long time before saying: "Yes."

After deciding on the candidate, the eldest princess immediately issued an order to evict the guests. She was obviously upset. Yan Zhaoge couldn't laugh or cry, but with the left and right ministers present, it was not easy for her to go forward and argue, so she could only leave together.

On the way out of the palace, Yan Zhaoge found an excuse, bid farewell to the left and right ministers, and went back.

The right side grabbed the left side who wanted to say something.

"What are you doing?"

Zuo Xiang frowned and said: "What do you say I am doing, can't you understand that Yan Hou's excuse is to fool me?"

The Prime Minister on the right said bluntly: "So what if it's just fooling you? Marquis Yan and Princess Eldest are in love with each other, and it's your turn, an old bastard, to gossip here and say something that shouldn't be said?"

"No matter how much you love each other, he is not polite! How can I bear it? Your Majesty is still in his infancy, and the palace is full of women, how can he stay in the palace! You are also an important minister of the dynasty, and there were new rumors in Chang'an yesterday , the eldest princess’s reputation is like ink stains on the white paper, why don’t you feel sad?!” Zuo Xiang said bitterly: “Don’t think I don’t know, you have planned in your heart to ruin the eldest princess’s reputation, You will be able to take a look at the government affairs as a matter of course, I tell you, there is no way!"

During the conversation, when he was emotionally excited, the left minister spit and splashed all over the place, and the right minister frowned and hid a few times, and even took a step back when he found that he couldn't hide.This behavior made Zuo Xiang even more furious, and immediately started chattering.

The two servants leading the way looked down at the pattern of floor tiles under their feet, and the other pondered why the stone bricks that built the wall were so beautiful, all pretending that they did not exist.One is right and the other is left, and you can't afford to offend any of them. If the persuasion is wrong, you will suffer yourself, so it's better to keep your mouth shut.

I really envy the one who leads the way for Marquis Yan.

Prime Minister Zuo scolded more and more vigorously, Prime Minister Right could only feel the smell of his saliva in the air, and panicked with nausea, seeing a drop of saliva flying onto the official uniform he was wearing, Prime Minister Right immediately flew into a rage.This official uniform has been worn for some years, and it is very worn out. A few days ago, his daughter just mended it for him, but it was contaminated by Zuo Xiang's saliva. How could he not be angry.The thought of wanting to bear it for a while dissipated, and said sharply: "Shuzi is not enough and tricks!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Zuo Xiang was dumbfounded.

A waiter quickly saluted Prime Minister Zuo, made a smile on his face, and followed quickly.The other servant took a step too late, so he had to stay and follow Zuoxiang full of sorrow.

"What does it mean that a scorpion is not enough to seek! Old man! Tell me clearly!" The left minister realized that the right minister was scolding him, and he was even more furious. He picked up his robe and quickly chased him, which was called brisk walking.

"It's better for you, an old thing like you, who can't even understand the eldest princess's thoughts, to go to the ground as soon as possible." The right minister sneered.

Zuo Xiang fell down in anger, he was always the only one who scolded others, when was he ever scolded like this.

"You must have died earlier than me!"

"If the eldest princess gets her wish, the great Jin will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, so what if I die immediately?" The prime minister on the right said coldly, "It's you, I heard that your sons have married many younger ones. Concubine, I hope you don't make trouble in Jingzhao Yamen."

Co-authoring good things and bad things are all said by you!

Zuo Xiang was almost pissed off. "
