Regardless of whether Zhu Houzhao's words were intentional or unintentional, after listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Ye Chunqiu suddenly thought of something.
Zhu Zaiyao's name is three soils, and the earth collapse is also related to soil, this son of heaven will not think that Zhu Houyao is a broom star.
Ye Chunqiu hurriedly said: "I heard that the sky and the earth are cracking, and there are saints coming out, although the earth is a bad omen, it is not His Royal Highness the Prince."
Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Ye Aiqing, don't be nervous, I don't mean to blame Zhu Zaiyao, he is my flesh and blood, do I still blame him for bringing disaster to me?"
At this time, it was just noon, but the Jingshi had become a pot of porridge, all kinds of rumors came out, and the various ministries were already like a great enemy, and the cabinet had almost become a market, and the people from the various ministries came to wait for them, and they had to act according to the instructions of the cabinet ministers at any time.
After more than three hours, the sky was dark, but it was still lively here, the lights were bright, everyone stayed up all night, and the chief officials of the various departments could not rest at this time, but the fast horse of the Xuanfu finally arrived.
The location of the disaster is in Datong, the specific disaster situation has not been calculated, but the damaged houses are at least thousands, countless dead and wounded, Datong is an important town, and it is the throat of the north, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, at this time it is already mourning.
Liu Jian and others are constantly summoning officials from various ministries, assigning various matters, coordinating the various ministries into the river, how to respond, how to appease the people, everything must be personally inquired into, and the money and grain dispatch of the household department is also the biggest problem, but at this time, there is an inspector Yu Shi Diyi tiptoed to Jiao Fang's public house.
Jiao Fang sat behind the case in the public room, frowning and pondering something, this Di Yi first saluted Jiao Fang, and then said: "Jiao Gong, the lower officials have something to play." ” Jiao Fang raised his eyes and glanced at Di Yi, but he just nodded nonchalantly.
Di Yi is his protégé, so Jiao Fang doesn't have to be polite to him, just looked down at the report from Xuanfu, and said: "Oh, it's Zixin, at this time, don't come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to cause chaos, the disaster is like fire."
Di Yi said: "Enfu, students have important things to do, and they are about Xuanfu." ” After Jiao Fang heard this, his frowning brows became deeper, and he raised his head and said, "What do you want to do?"
Di Yi stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "Actually, there should be a report today, the students have just come back from patrolling the Xuanfu, and the town of Datong broke out of smallpox just a few days ago, and the urgent performance was sparse, but I don't know why it has not arrived, but today, I can't imagine that there has been a landslide again, isn't this worse Now the government and the opposition are paying attention to the landslide, but this smallpox has been ignored." ” smallpox Jiao Fangwen's color changed, this smallpox is extremely contagious, once it is popular, its harm is no less than the plague, if it is infected, it is enough to cause a large area of death.
It really happened to be raining in the leaky house, if so, the disaster relief would be troublesome, and the landslide and smallpox were enough to destroy the entire Datong 100,000 soldiers and civilians.
"This matter" Jiao Fang squinted her eyes and said, "Who else knows" Di Yi smiled bitterly: "Now all the princes are paying attention to the news coming from the Xuanfu now, and they are all busy with the disaster.
"Got it."
Jiao Fang's expression was solemn, but he said lightly: "But in this matter, let's press it first." ” After he said that, he called a scribe to come: "Go and pick up all the notes related to Yu Xuanfu a few days ago." ” After a short time, he picked dozens of books, Jiao Fang read them locally, and finally, his eyes fell on a letter played by the prefect of Datong, which did have something about the smallpox epidemic, but it was only said that the epidemic only happened in a certain village and had been isolated.
No wonder there is no attention, Jiao Fang said to Di Yi: "Are you sure that the smallpox epidemic has been rampant in Datong these days?"
Di Yi said: "It's true. ” He craned his neck to look at the report of the Datong prefect, and continued: "Either the latest epidemic has not been reported, or someone has deliberately suppressed the news, and most local officials like to conceal it, unless the lid can't be covered, this will be truthful." ” Jiao Fang let out a long breath, and then said: "The old man knows, don't say anything about this matter, Zixin" He suddenly smiled, looked at Di Yi and said: "Good life to do your own thing, a few days ago, Liu Yaozhishi, the imperial history of the capital, this position has been vacant until now, the old man has always wanted to recommend you, Zhang Butang has already said hello." ” Di Yi fell to the ground in a hurry, with a grateful look, and said: "Enfu Hongen, the student has nothing to repay." ” Jiao Fang looked down at Song Shu again, but waved his hand lightly, signaling Di Yi to go down.
It was busy until midnight, and the cabinet was still brightly lit, and at this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was still waiting for news in the foreign court, had already ordered a few cabinet ministers to go to the warm pavilion to talk.
A few old ministers didn't, one by one they looked tired, and hurried to the warm pavilion, only to see Zhu Houzhao sitting on the soft collapse, and Ye Chunqiu still hadn't left.
Everyone saluted, and Liu Jian roughly reported the disaster: "After the landslide, there is no statistics for the time being, but the disaster is like fire, the minister has ordered the household department to open a warehouse, dispatch money and grain, and transfer divisions in various places, at any time, mules and horses along the way, must be requisitioned at any time, and the most important thing at the moment is that the imperial court appoints the Qin Mission, and on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he rushed to Xuanfu for disaster relief." ” When it comes to appointing a chincha, under normal circumstances, disaster relief is done by Qingliu officials as a chincha.
Hearing that he was going to appoint a messenger, Zhu Houzhao seemed hesitant and said angrily: "I don't know who is the most appropriate person to send."
Jiao Fang's eyes flickered quickly, and then he took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, the minister recommends Ye Chunqiu." ” As soon as he said it, everyone in the monarch and ministers was a little stunned, and even Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but be surprised.
Disaster relief belongs to the aftermath, it is generally easy to accumulate reputation, this time the imperial court is full of disaster relief, and will not be stingy in terms of money and food, this is simply a political achievement sent to the door, as long as there is no chaos of the people's uprising, this is a real qualification.
It stands to reason that when encountering this situation, many people will recommend their protégés and former officials, in fact, Xie Qian did have the idea of letting Ye Chunqiu go to disaster relief, but it was a little inconvenient to say, I always felt that this was due to public and private affairs, and Ye Chunqiu was just a Hanlin cultivator, although he was entrusted with a Qincha, but after all, his qualifications and prestige were not enough, and when he got to the locality, could he control those magistrates But Jiao Fang's recommendation of Ye Chunqiu to go is very intriguing aa2705221:
