Boom, a thunderous sound hit the golden glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, deafening.
Click, the golden snake danced wildly behind the hazy clouds, seeming to tear open the thick clouds and disperse the wind and rain.
But golden snakes are not golden dragons after all. They cannot dispel the dark clouds and cannot shake the majesty of heaven and earth.

Wow!
Dense lines of rain poured down like waterfalls.
Standing in the Qianqing Palace, you can't even see clearly the corridors outside.
The atmosphere in the palace was silent. All the officials lowered their heads and looked silently at the emperor who was standing in front of the palace gate with his hands behind his hands.
"Sizhou is over!" Lian Zining, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said with a hint of crying in his voice, "The latest report is that the whole city of Hecheng has been flooded, the treasury has been destroyed, and no one within a radius of dozens of miles has been spared... "
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi clenched his fists and his heart twitched violently.
This is the first time since he came to this world that he has faced the real suffering of the world. In the earliest flood of Fuzhou, he was not the emperor, he was just a grandson who was eager to express himself. But now as the emperor of the empire, his subjects are being flooded wailing in the middle.
The country is said to be very powerful, but in fact he, the emperor, knows that what is powerful is the court's treasury, what is powerful is the power of the court, and what is powerful is the imperial power.
On the local level, those real people have no ability to resist risks at all.
Although everything in this nascent empire seemed so beautiful, it was also extremely fragile in some places.
In fact, he knew that this was a common problem in the entire feudal empire. No matter how powerful the country was, the people would always be the people.
And the people who bear everything are also the common people.
"Moreover, it seems that if the rain keeps falling, the three counties of Huaiyang after Sizhou will not be safe..." Lian Zining couldn't continue.
"The most urgent task is to provide disaster relief!" In the palace, the ministers hardly dared to speak, because everyone knew that the emperor was brewing anger, and if he said anything wrong, he would get angry.
No one spoke, but Zhu Gaochi had to speak, because his surname was also Zhu, and he had a share in this world.
"The imperial court should quickly organize rescue operations and allocate money and food." Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice, "In addition to these, we must also prepare to prevent the plague. It is April now, and May will be after the flood. Once there is a severe heat in May, the plague will be rampant. , worse than a flood!”
"There is also the issue of resettling the victims!" Bao Zhao said, "Floods are not scary, what is scary is the hearts of the people! At this time, the people are in panic, so we must properly resettle them. Give them a place to live, and give them a place to live. Clean food, clothes, give them hope!"
"Sizhou is close to the capital, so beware of civil unrest!" Cao Guogong Li Jinglong followed closely. "There has always been great unrest after major disasters. We must prevent the people from being deceived into rebellion. I think we should deploy troops to the places where the people are resettled. The people are housed separately and cannot be crowded into one place."
Tengtengteng, suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the palace.
Then Deng Ping came in despite the heavy rain, holding an urgent memorial in both hands, "Your Majesty, Sizhou urgent memorial!"
Zhu Yunxi took it personally with a sullen face.
The memorial was covered with mud and was very heavy.
The palace was silent again, everyone was looking at the emperor.
"There are twenty-three officials under the Prime Minister of Sizhou Prefecture." Zhu Yunxi's voice was a little heavy. "When the city is destroyed, you will die for the country and the city will live together!"
Buzz!
There was a brief period of unrest in the palace, and such a large-scale official suicide had never been seen before in the dynasty.
"Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong took two steps forward and said, "My condolences!" He said, comforting Zhu Yunxu, "Heaven has no mercy and no one has mercy. We have such loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty. How can a mere flood be righteous? The prime minister of Sizhou Prefecture and others sacrificed their lives for the country.
, is an example for me and others. As I hold high positions in the temple, I dare not slack off in state affairs, and I will save disasters from fire and water!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
In fact, there was nothing we could do about their death. If they didn't die now, the court would hold them accountable after the flood, and they wouldn't be able to escape the crime of neglect.
"Where is the prefect of Sizhou?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly frowned and asked.
Zhu Yunxi threw the memorial in his hand and said, "Read it yourself!"
Zhu Gaochi took it with both hands, and when he opened it, his color suddenly changed, and he was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"As long as I am in the ancestral mausoleum, the ancestral mausoleum and the mausoleum will be safe and sound, and the king and father will not have to worry..."
"Bastard!" Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth in his heart.
Only now did he understand why Sizhou was over and over without any warning. The prefect of Sizhou organized all the forces to fight the flood and went to the Zuling Mausoleum, leaving Sizhou completely exposed to the diverted Huai River.
"But, is he wrong?"
Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, "This Sizhou magistrate is not wrong. He will die if he doesn't protect the ancestral mausoleum, and he will die if he can't protect Sizhou..."
Suddenly, he felt a little shaken in his heart.
"What if we really dig the Zhonghe River from Gaojiayan, open a river channel from the ancestral mausoleum, and go down the river directly to the Huaiyin outlet...?"
But then, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhu Yunxi turned his head and looked at the ministers, "When the disaster is approaching, put everything else down first. Disaster relief is the most important thing!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "How much food can be allocated?"
"Back to the emperor, the ministers can mobilize 300,000 dan of grain and grass in three days, and 600,000 dan in five days. The Huai'an warehouse, the Xuzhou warehouse, and the Yangzhou warehouse are all full!"
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has 2,700,000 taels of silver in advance, just in case of natural or man-made disasters. It can be used on the victims at any time!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded and looked at Lian Zining.
"The Ministry of Industry can allocate 800 medical officers. Various disaster relief drugs may be insufficient, but the gap is not big. They can be purchased nearby in Gyeonggi! The Ministry of Industry will fully supply the iron pots, cloth, etc. needed by the victims. If there is any shortage,
I...go to Wusha!"
Then, Zhu Yunxi looked at Xu Huizu.
The latter's face was deep, "It may be too late to mobilize the civilians at this time, but there are still officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp in various garrison posts, and they can leave at any time. I dare not say anything about Sizhou, but to save the three counties of Huaiyang, I am willing to go there in person!"
"What Mr. Cao Guo said just now speaks to my heart!" Zhu Yunxi looked at everyone, "At this time of national crisis, you are all loyal people. Thank you for your hard work!"
"I don't dare!"
"I have only three principles for disaster relief. First, the people must not starve to death. Second, there must be no civil unrest. Third, we must give the people confidence and tell them that after the disaster, the court will help them rebuild their homes!" Zhu Yunxi said slowly.
"I dare you to ask the emperor to send an imperial envoy to Sizhou to organize disaster relief in person!" Bao Zhao said, "To comfort the victims and show the emperor's kindness!"
"I have no kindness!" Zhu Yunxi said with a cold face, "A flood that just came and killed so many people, how can I have the face to say kindness? Hum, in the past I was obsessed with the so-called peaceful and prosperous age, but the disaster
Come as you say, I only have faults for the people, not kindness!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said, "Xie Jin!"
"I'm here!"
"The big flood in Sizhou is because I didn't think carefully enough. There were obviously signs a few days ago, but I..." As he said that, he sighed, "I have issued an edict to sin against myself, you write it!"
"I dare not obey the imperial edict even if I die!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong knelt down and cried loudly, "Why is this so great? I dare to ask Your Majesty to take back my life!"
"Maybe there really is God's will!" Zhu Yunxi raised his eyes and looked at the dark sky, "This heavy rain is God's punishment for me. Tell me not to be intoxicated in the illusion of prosperity!"
"My decision has been made, there is no need to say more." Zhu Yunxi looked at everyone again, "As for the imperial envoys for disaster relief..." As he said that, he looked around.
Some people dodge, some people hold their heads high, some people's eyes are full of determination, and some people are hesitant.
"Xin Yande, the former Minister of General Affairs, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Censor of the Capital, rushed to Sizhou with a guilty conscience to organize disaster relief!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Tell Xin Yande, isn't he a stubborn person? This time, I am also in trouble, as long as there are people
If anyone dares to violate the law, if someone dares to take advantage of it, if someone dares to embezzle relief supplies, they will be killed without mercy!"
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
