Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan Province is the residence of the Provincial Government Envoy Si Yamen.

The eight-hundred-mile express from the imperial court had arrived here a day ago, but Feng Qing, the chief envoy, waved his hand and sent the soldiers down to rest. He just glanced at it lightly and closed it.

"Sir, what is the imperial court's order?" Gu Kun was so anxious that he asked bluntly without caring about the etiquette of superiors and subordinates. The disaster in Henan is so serious that people will starve to death every day. If there is no more food,

If we don’t provide disaster relief, I’m afraid the tragedy of cannibalism will happen in Henan.

The disaster in Henan has been reported for a long time, but for some reason there has been no news. Now that the imperial court finally sent someone, Gu Kun was naturally eager to see if the imperial court would allocate food to Henan.

Fengqing smiled softly and said: "The imperial court has said that the food has been allocated to be shipped. It will arrive in Kaifeng in up to three days. We are asked to gather the people from all prefectures and counties to facilitate the imperial court's disaster relief."

"Great, Henan has been saved." Gu Kun was so happy that he jumped up, suddenly facing the direction of the capital, and knelt down, "On behalf of the more than three million people in Henan, I would like to thank the emperor for his grace."

"Master Gu, it's better not to be happy too early." Li Cheng, the right counselor on the side, said with a smile.

Gu Kun stood up immediately. He wanted to get angry, but he thought the people would be saved soon. At this happy moment, he didn't want to cause any conflict with Li Cheng.

"Master Li, since the imperial court has allocated food and the people have been saved, I am naturally happy. Why can't I be happy?"

Gu Kun was a leftist political official, and his official position was one level higher than that of Li Cheng. However, considering that everyone was an official in the same department, Gu Kun did not argue too much with him.

Li Cheng didn't appreciate Gu Kun's kindness, but was full of hostility towards him. From what Li Cheng saw, if it weren't for the stubborn old man Gu Kun standing in the way, he would have been sitting on the right side of politics long ago.

Li Cheng smiled and said: "Master Gu, please see clearly, this is the 800-mile express. From the capital to here, even the 800-mile express will take two days. The current disaster in Henan is very rare.
