Dong, a thunder thunder hit the golden glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, deafening.

Crack, the hazy clouds were covered with golden snakes, as if they were to tear open the thick clouds and dispel the wind and rain all over the sky.

But the golden snake is not a golden dragon after all. They cannot dispel the clouds and cannot shake the majesty of the world.

Hurry!

The dense rain lines poured down like waterfalls.

Standing in the Ganqing Palace, I couldn't even see the corridor outside clearly.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent, and all the officials and ministers lowered their heads and silently looked at the emperor standing in front of the palace gate with their hands behind their backs.

"Sizhou is over!" Lian Zining, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, said with a hint of crying. "The latest report is that all the city has been flooded, the treasury is destroyed, and within a radius of dozens of miles, no one of the people is spared..."

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu clenched his fists and his heart twitched violently.

This is the first time he has faced the real suffering in the world after he came to this world. In the earliest flood in Fuzhou, he was not the emperor, he was just a grandson who was eager to show himself. Now, as the emperor of the empire, his subjects are wailing in the flood.

The country said it was very strong, but in fact, the emperor knew that what was strong was the treasury of the court, what was strong was the power of the court, and what was strong was the imperial power.

And in the local area, those real people have no ability to resist risks.

Although everything seems so beautiful in this newborn empire, some places are extremely fragile.

In fact, he knew that this was a common problem in the entire feudal empire. No matter how strong the country was, the people were always the people.

And all the bearers are the people.

"And it seems that if the rain keeps falling, the three counties of Huaiyang after Sizhou will not be able to protect..." Lian Zining couldn't continue.

"The most urgent task is to save disasters!" In the hall, the ministers almost dared not speak because everyone knew that the emperor was brewing anger. If something was wrong, it would be angered.

No one spoke, Zhu Gaochi had to say that because his surname was Zhu, and he had his share in the world.

"The court should quickly organize rescue and allocate money and food." Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice, "In addition to these, we must also prepare to prevent plagues. It is April, and after the flood, it will be May. Once the heat is in May, the plague will be rampant, even more so than the flood!"

"There is also the problem of resettlement of victims!" Bao Zhao said, "The flood is not scary, what is scary is the hearts of the people! At this time, the people are in a panic, so they should properly resettle them. Give them a place to live, give them clean food, clothes, and hope!"

"Sizhou is near the capital, so we must beware of civil unrest!" Cao Guogong Li Jinglong followed closely. "There have been great chaos after major disasters. We must avoid the people being bewitched and disturbed. I believe that we should mobilize troops to the place where the people are placed and separate the people, and we cannot all be squeezed in one place."

Tengteng, suddenly, footsteps came from outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Ping braved the heavy rain and came in with his hands holding the urgent memorial, "Emperor, Sizhou is pressing urgently!"

Zhu Yunyu took it with a tense face and took it personally.

The memorial was covered with mud and heavy.

The hall was silent again, and everyone was watching the emperor.

"The Sizhou Prefecture Chief has 23 officials." Zhu Yunxiu's voice was a little heavy, "When the city was broken, I would die for my life and die together with the city!"

Buzz!

A brief uneasy occurred in the hall, and there was never a precedent in the state dynasty for such a large-scale suicide.

"Emperor!" Li Jinglong took two steps forward, "You are so sorry!" As he said, comforting Zhu Yunxiu, "The heaven is merciless and people are affectionate. I have such a loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty. How can a flood be just a flood! Sizhou Prefecture Chiefs sacrificed their lives for their country and are examples of ministers. I am in a high position in the temple and dare not slacken in state affairs. I will definitely save disasters and fire!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly, not saying anything.

In fact, there is nothing they can do about their death. If they don’t die now, the court will hold them accountable after the flood, and they will not be able to escape the crime of being inattentive.

"Where is the prefect of Sizhou?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly frowned and asked.

Zhu Yunxiu threw the memorial in his hand over and said, "Look at it yourself!"

Zhu Gaochi took it with both hands, opened it and saw that it changed color. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

"I am in the ancestral tomb, and the ancestral tombs will be safe and sound, so the king and father do not need to worry..."

"Bastard!" Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth in his heart.

Now he understood why Sizhou had finished speaking, and it was finished without any signs. The Sizhou prefect organized all the flood-fighting forces and went to the ancestral tomb, leaving Sizhou completely exposed to the Huai River that had diverted.

"But, was he wrong?"

Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, "This Sizhou prefect is right. He will die if he doesn't protect his ancestral tomb, and if he can't protect Sizhou..."

Suddenly, a little shaken in his heart.

"If you really dig the Zhonghe River from Gaojiayan, open a river from the ancestral tomb, and go downstream to the outlet of Huaiyin..."

But then, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhu Yunxiu turned his head and looked at the ministers, "The disaster is in trouble, let go of the others in advance, disaster relief is important!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Feng, "How much money can be allocated?"

"Return to the emperor, you can collect 300,000 stones of food and grass within three days, and 600,000 stones within five days. Huai'an Dacang, Xuzhou Dacang, and Yangzhou Dacang are all full!"

"The Ministry of Revenue will first place the warehouse, and 2.7 million taels are prepared for fear of natural disasters and man-made disasters. It can be used on the victims at any time!"

Zhu Yunhuang nodded and looked at Lian Zining.

"The Ministry of Industry may allocate 800 medical officers. There may be insufficient disaster relief medicines, but the gap is not large. You can buy them nearby in the capital! The Ministry of Industry will provide all the iron pots, fabrics, etc. required by the disaster victims. If there is any mistake, I will... Go to the black sha!"

Then, Zhu Yunxiu looked at Xu Huizu.

The latter's face was deep, "It may be too late to mobilize civil servants at this time, but there are also officers and soldiers from various garrisons in various places, so they can be set off at any time. I dare not say anything about Sizhou, but I am willing to go there in person, but I am willing to go there in person!"

"Duke Cao just said something to me!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at everyone, "At the critical moment of the country, you are all loyal people. Thank you for your hard work!"

"I don't dare!"

"I only have three items to relieve disasters. One is to prevent the people from starving to death. Two is to avoid the people's chaos. Three is to give the people confidence and tell them that after the disaster, the court will help them rebuild their homes!" Zhu Yunqiu spoke slowly.

"I dare to ask the emperor to send an imperial envoy to Sizhou to organize disaster relief!" Bao Zhao said, "To calm the victims of the disaster and to show the emperor's kindness!"

"I have no kindness!" Zhu Yunxiu looked coldly, "A flood that comes at will, so many people die, how can I still have the face to say mercy? Humph, in the past, I was obsessed with the so-called peaceful times, and the great disaster comes at will, I have only had no kindness to the people!"

As he said that, Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said, "Xie Jin!"

"I'm here!"

"I am not thinking about the flood in Sizhou. It is because I am not fully aware of it. There are already signs a few days ago, but I..." As he said that, he sighed, "I issued an edict to blame myself, you can write it!"

"I dare not obey the order if I die!"

"Emperor! Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong knelt down and cried loudly, "Why is this? I dared to ask the emperor to take his life back!"

"Maybe there is really God's will!" Zhu Yunxiu raised his eyes and looked at the dark sky. "This heavy rain is the punishment God has given me. Tell me not to be intoxicated in the illusory prosperity!"

"I have decided, there is no need to say much." Zhu Yunxiu looked at everyone again, "As for the imperial envoy who rescued the disaster..." As he said, he looked around.

Some dodge, some hold their heads up, some have a sense of determination in their eyes, and some are hesitant.
