Liu Yongyan raised his tone, but he felt a little sad: "I am Fengxiang's parents and officials. If the people are not doing well, they will scold me. It doesn't matter if they scold me. Now they have no food, and the court does not distribute money and food. If they still have to force me,

The big households in the city pay money and grain. If there is a rebellion, I am afraid that I, the prefect of Fengxiang, cannot bear the responsibility."

Speaking of this, he stopped and the crowd was silent.

His words were just and Li Jiuzhou couldn't help but be stunned.

At first glance, the people all saw were despair, as if this flood had cut off their life.

When I returned from the Western Regions, I also passed by Guanzhong, but the scene I saw was very different from the one I saw at this time.

As for how the court did not distribute money and food to provide disaster relief, it was naturally because Yang Guozhong obstructed it, and he didn't know what he was worried about.

Li Jiuzhou was speechless by Liu Yongyan and looked at Liu Yongyan gently: "This matter is indeed very urgent, but you and I can't make the decision, and I don't have to hurry to discharge the farmland flood first. I

Now that we have come, we will advance and retreat with you. When the flood is cured, we will submit a memorial to the court for the distribution of money and grain."

Liu Yongyan still wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, so he started draining with his people.

Based on Fufeng's previous drainage experience, I worked day and night for three or five days, and the flood had almost gone.

But everyone couldn't be happy.

In the Fengxiang Mansion, Liu Yongyan kept closing his eyes, thinking about something.

Li Jiuzhou looked at his face with some worries and said, "Prince Liu, I can't ask about your Fengxiang matters, but I am the disaster relief envoy of the court. I have thought about what you said before. Now that the people have no food to do.

If you eat, you and I will step up the memorial to the court and ask the court to transfer money and food to the court."

Not only Fengxiang, but also most of the central and central areas need to be transferred to provide disaster relief.

Liu Yongyan opened his eyes and said, "I am afraid that the saints will not be trusted by me. I will send someone to inform the nearby disaster-stricken areas and jointly submit a memorial."

So, they jointly prepared a disaster situation in various places, and needed to apply for the imperial court to allocate the amount of money and grain. Liu Yongyan also found the people of Fengxiang, wrote a letter to the people of all people, and sent people to submit them to Beijing in an urgent manner.

Li Jiuzhou also drafted a copy and submitted a memorial together. He stayed in Fengxiang and waited for news in the capital.

After leaving the capital for a long time, many things have happened in the court.

First, the emperor listened to An Lushan's remarks and switched to the dangerous places of the three towns to guard them, and the court officials refused to follow their advice.

One day, Yang Guozhong was in front of the imperial court, and Gao Lishi stood by.

The emperor said, "I am getting older and tired of diligence. Now I can rest assured as the prime minister for the court and the generals for the border affairs."

Gao Lishi reported: "The previous rebellion of Nanzhao, which caused repeated loss of troops. Now he rebelled again and the border generals have too strong troops. The court must control it so that there is no worries."

The emperor said, "You are worrying about nothing, and the slaughter is quite self-disciplined."

Yang Guozhong was very unhappy when he saw him telling the defeat of Nanzhao in front of the emperor, and replied: "The barbarian land of Nanzhao is not a problem, so he can order Li Mi to lead Jiannan army to attack him again, which will be great.

Win."

Previously, Xian Yu Zhongtong, the governor of Jiannan, led his troops to fight in Nanzhao, but returned after being defeated. Many soldiers died. Yang Guozhong concealed his defeat and still mentioned his achievements.

Later, he led his army to attack him. Although it was not considered a great defeat, it was not considered a victory.

There were countless deaths in front and behind. This time he made another idea to let Jiannan stay in Li Mi and lead 70,000 troops to attack him.

Gao Lishi mentioned it by chance, and Yang Guozhong concealed it: "The Southern Barbarians betrayal, the king's army will fight to suppress it, and there will be no worries about the holy concerns. As for General Gao's words, the border generals are too strong, but it makes sense, just like An Lushan's three-dimensional system

The big town has strong soldiers and strong ambitions for a long time, so you must be careful."

When the emperor heard this, he pondered silently.

Yang Guozhong also replied: "I have a plan to eliminate An Lushan's strange ambitions."

The emperor said: "What's the plan?"

Yang Guozhong replied: "If An Lushan is promoted to Pingzhang, he will be summoned to the court, and the three ministers will be divided into Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong towns, then An Lushan's military power will be released, so he will naturally be worried.

Your Majesty follows it.”

Although the emperor said it was good, he was still undecided.

When he returned to the palace and chatted, the emperor said this to Yang Guifei.

Seeing the emperor hesitating, Yang Guifei said, "An Lushan has not rebelled. Why do foreign ministers say that he wants to rebel? Now that he has the heavy troops outside, he is recruiting frequently for no reason, it is probably inappropriate."

The emperor sent Lu Lin as the imperial envoy to reward the border troops and secretly investigated An Lushan's actions.

When Xiao Lin arrived in Fanyang, An Lushan had already known his purpose, so he gave him a generous gift and gave him countless good gifts. He asked him to deal with it. Xiao Lin received a bribe and returned to the court to reply to the imperial edict at night, saying that An Lushan was loyal to the country.

, and there is no different mind.

When the emperor heard that, he believed it and summoned Yang Guozhong into the palace and said, "The court treats An Lushan well, and An Lushan will also be loyal to the country and will never let them down. You and others do not have to doubt it."

Yang Guozhong was not easy to argue, so he didn't say anything.

Just so happened, the eunuch passed the memorial from Guanzhong.

The emperor asked Yang Guozhong for his opinion.

Yang Guozhong had known about this and knew that Li Jiuzhou had also submitted a memorial, so he might not be able to hide it. He had already released Fufeng Prefect Fang Guan and said, "The flood in Guanzhong is not serious, but the people's hearts are unstable. According to Li Jiuzhou, he reported.

, the people are indeed hungry, so it is better to distribute some money and food to stabilize the people's hearts."

The emperor did not blame him. After reading the memorial, he knocked on the letter of the people and agreed with him, so he asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money and grain, and transported it to Guanzhong for disaster relief based on the amount in the memorial.

The Ministry of Revenue did not dare to delay and made preparations for several days and sent people to transport them.

Li Jiuzhou and Liu Yongyan were inside the Fengxiang Yamen, but the door was alarmed by a rush of horse hooves.

Several horses appeared. Liu Yongyan saw the eunuch who was dressed up at the front immediately and greeted him in person. Li Jiuzhou also followed.

The eunuch turned over and dismounted, threw the whip at the person behind him, and asked loudly in response to Liu Yongyan's actions: "Is Fengxiang Prefect Liu Yongyan here?"

The eunuch was in the palace for a long time and naturally did not know the border ministers.

"I'm just that." Liu Yongyan bowed and replied.

The eunuch came to spread the news and said, "The court has allocated money and grain to provide disaster relief. I am on the way. I will notify you from the ground. You don't have to panic. Then you can send someone to pick up the grain, collect it according to the distribution of the court, and distribute it.

People.”

Liu Yongyan hurriedly thanked him and wanted to leave the eunuch to entertain him, but the eunuch refused: "I have to go to notify other places."

As soon as the eunuch left, Liu Yongyan turned to Li Jiuzhou and said, "It's great to get money and food to provide disaster relief. It's still a loss for disaster relief envoy to submit a memorial."

Li Jiuzhou smiled faintly. He had slapped his flattery too much and even pushed all the credit that was not good to him.

He said to him: "Since the money and food distributed by the court are on the road, it is difficult to find the road here, which will delay the time. The prefect sent someone to pick him up halfway."

"I'm just about to make arrangements." After Liu Yongyan finished speaking, he called someone and arranged a small team of people to investigate. If he encountered the Ministry of Revenue's grain team, he could also lead the way.
