Chapter 579 No one wants to go to disaster relief

The emperor sat on the high dragon chair and did not speak. Instead, he sat quietly and waited for them to finish. Then he looked down at the important officials in the hall and waited silently to tell them that this time he had made a big decision.

of

Finally, after a long time, some courtiers couldn't bear it anymore and came out of the queue to ask the emperor.

"I wonder what your Majesty said you came here to do?"

"Relocation of residents near the seaside! Which of you is willing to supervise this matter?"

As soon as the emperor said these words, everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony couldn't help but hold their breath, and it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

"What? None of you want to go?"

The emperor's question to everyone was drawn out at the end, and it was obvious that he was a little angry.

"this……"

The court officials who came out looked around in confusion, trying to find allies, but no one came out to speak.

"What? No one wants to go?"

"I await the death penalty!"

The courtiers tried their usual tricks, but they all refused.

"Death penalty, if I really kill you, Yunhang Baixin can migrate, then I would like to give it a try."

"Prime Minister Zuo, you are in charge of all civil and military officials, and you should know these my courtiers very well. Who do you think is more suitable for this matter?"

The king on the dragon throne glanced sharply at the ministers, and finally stopped at the Prime Minister Zuo.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the court in a completely different and playful manner than before.

Seems a bit arbitrary.

"Your Majesty, your mind has been made up?"

The leader of the Zuo Prime Minister came out of the procession. He did not bend down like those in the Chaocheng side and did not dare to look at the emperor. On the contrary, he stood up straight and looked directly at His Majesty the Emperor. After two dynasties, the Zuo Prime Minister

At this time, the adult was quickly thinking in his mind how to resolve this crisis.

After all, disaster relief is a thankless job, not to mention taking advantage of the situation to relocate people who are unwilling to leave their homeland.

Who is willing to do such a hugely dangerous job?

With Lord Zuo Xiang thinking like this, he couldn't think of anyone to choose for the moment. The emperor on the dragon throne didn't urge him, but said very generously.

"If Mr. Zuo Xiang can't think of a candidate for the moment, it doesn't matter. You can think about it slowly. I have plenty of time and can afford to wait. When will you come up with a candidate, when will I go to court?"

The emperor's words almost made the senior courtiers faint, not for any other reason than because they had just been ripped off by the eldest princess. They had been playing in the Palace of Supreme Harmony for two full hours. At this time,

It was long past lunch time, and everyone's stomachs were already growling.

The old minister, who was exhausted, had secretly fixed his eyes on the left prime minister.

Only then did Mr. Zuo Xiang realize that he must be the bad guy today.

So he turned his attention to the courtiers behind him.

The courtiers all lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.

Some people even lowered their heads and whispered for help, "No, Mr. Left Prime Minister! I am not qualified for this arduous task!"

Mr. Zuo Xiang was secretly angry in his heart. These people usually had the advantage of squeezing their heads, but now they would shrink back like a tortoise when faced with difficulties.

It’s really too realistic!

However, Mr. Zuo Xiang is not a vegetarian. After all, he is an old man who has experienced two dynasties. He has methods for dealing with those above and managing those below...

"Your Majesty! I don't have any candidates for the people who will go to Yunhang to provide disaster relief, but I do have a suggestion. Please make your decision!"

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and nodded gently, "Tell me, Prime Minister Zuo!"

"Your Majesty, this Yunhang is always a natural disaster. During the previous dynasty, some people proposed to relocate the residents nearby, but there is an old saying that is good and true, which is..."

The next words were stuck in the left prime minister's throat, and he deliberately did not say anything.

The emperor was obedient to hear half of what he said, but the Prime Minister Zuo suddenly stopped talking and asked.

"what is it call?"

"Poor mountains and bad waters bring trouble

civil!"

The emperor frowned.

Lord Zuo Xiang stopped again.

The courtiers all began to whisper together, and generally speaking, the Left Prime Minister was right. This was the fact. The people of Yunhang were really making things difficult for others.

The imperial envoys sent by His Majesty were all beaten into hornets' nests and fell unconscious before being carried back to Beijing for treatment.

The second time, the imperial envoy brought the disaster relief money, and after the disaster relief was completed, he brought up the matter of relocation. Others tied him up and threw him at the entrance of the village. Then he tried to go in and talk to the villagers about the relocation, but the villagers picked up knives, forks and swords.

The halberd and hoe are blocking people from entering and refusing to communicate!

It is not that the emperor is unaware of these matters, but this matter has to be resolved, and it must be resolved. Otherwise, after a natural disaster occurs every few years, the national treasury will no longer be able to save a penny.

"Why don't you continue talking, Mr. Zuo Xiang?"

The emperor saw that the people below had finished talking, so he spoke out to continue the topic.

Mr. Zuo Xiang replied quickly, "Your Majesty, since Yunhang's problem is a natural disaster, there must be someone chosen by heaven who can handle it all. Your Majesty, I dare to ask your Majesty to issue an edict and ask the Imperial Advisor to spy on the secrets of heaven.

Please give me some hints from God, let’s see who can perfectly solve the problem of Yunhang people’s migration?”

The left prime minister's words won applause from the courtiers.

When His Majesty the Emperor on the Dragon Throne heard this, before he could make a decision, the courtiers were already kneeling on the ground, shouting, "Your Majesty, please issue an edict and ask the Imperial Counselor to communicate with heaven to find a capable person who is qualified to serve as Yunhang's Imperial Envoy."

man of!"

The emperor saw the actions of the courtiers and knew that they were playing ball. He was very unhappy at first, but he didn't have any good candidates in mind, so he asked Eunuch Ling to go to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion to convey the decree.

Who would have thought that it took Eunuch Ling almost an hour to go back and forth, but his response was that the Imperial Master was not in the house and had disappeared.

The emperor had no choice but to think that the disaster relief money had been shipped out and people were also sent to raise food. The matter of relocating the people of Yunhang was not that urgent, so he withdrew from the court.

After the morning court, the emperor hurried to the dining room.

In the dining room at this time, Xiao Suisui was holding a big chicken drumstick with one hand and devouring it.

Princess Atta, who was sitting opposite her, was stunned.

"Eat slowly, I won't compete with you. Besides, your Majesty's adoptive father hasn't come yet. If you just eat and drink like this, aren't you afraid that he will blame you when he sees you like this in court?"

Xiao Suisui gnawed on the chicken drumsticks, his mouth full, and shook his head repeatedly, "Your Majesty's adoptive father will not blame me! He said I can eat what I want and drink what I want!"

"Yes, yes! Your majesty's adoptive father said this, but your dining etiquette is too bad. How did the nanny I assigned you teach you? How did you become a living person?

It’s as bad as a child from Shoto’s house!”

The emperor's voice suddenly came from the tile surface, and Princess Atta quickly stood up and saluted.
