Not only the husband, but also the entire court knew who old Chen Lin was.
How long has it been since Chen Lin played the role of running errands and delivering orders?
So no matter how unhappy Song Chu was, she still came.
When he arrived at Chui Gong Hall, all the princes had already arrived.
"Your Majesty, it's just an earthquake, why do you need to mobilize troops like this? How will the people of Bianliang view this?"
Even though I came here, I was still invited like this. If I can't discuss things properly, I still insist on asking questions.
Fire!
"Xiangong Song, today Xi will not ask you a few words as the prince, but as a resident of Bianliang. Is it okay?"
Song Chi seemed to be disdainful of Zhao Xi's question and just made a little noise from his nose.
"Xiangong Song, there was no collapse in your house, right? There were no casualties, right? But can you explain why the entire Bianliang family is as wealthy as Xianggong Song?"
"It's just tiles falling down in the palace, but for the people of Bianliang, it is very likely that their houses will collapse! As a court, the people support the officials with taxes. Is it what an official should do to turn a blind eye at this time?"
Zhao Xi was very gentle at first, and he wanted to calmly explain the question clearly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it became rhetorical questions, one sentence after another, and the tone of each sentence became higher and higher!
At this time, he would rather not be a prince, but rather a commoner, even a high-ranking official, who could spit on Song Itchy's face without any scruples.
Regardless of ability or literary talent, it is the tragedy of the official system of the country and the dynasty for people like Song Chi to be able to act like husbands!
"Your Highness, let's discuss matters."
It was always the ministers who blamed the emperor. Suddenly His Highness the Crown Prince accused a husband, and the accusation was justified, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.
On this occasion... Fu Bi quickly laughed, fearing that if Zhao Xi continued to question him, Song Chi would argue again... and the so-called discussion would become nonsense again.
Zhao Xi had no intention of continuing, he was just unhappy with Song Chi's behavior of complaining after he arrived.
There is no room for nonsense about the disaster, so it is better to talk about the business as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, Xi proposes: First, mobilize part of the imperial army and implement temporary military control in Bianliang City."
Zhao Xi didn't know if the current government had emergency plans for dealing with various disasters. He hadn't seen one, and he probably didn't have one.
He didn't want to waste time, so he directly expressed his thoughts.
"Your Highness, there is no need for the military to intervene in the earthquake, right? Kaifeng Mansion and patrols will do."
"Fu Xiang, an earthquake of this intensity may not cause too much damage. But it is very likely that a small group of people will take advantage of the panic of the people and take the opportunity to do illegal things. I suggest that during this period, anyone who infringes on public and private affairs
Anyone who possesses property or is waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"
"Second, the Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen officials also mobilized a part of the Xiang army to coordinate with the Lifang administrators to register people from house to house in order to obtain the number of missing or buried people."
"Third, based on the above data, the patrol and some Xiang troops launched a rescue of the buried people. A person will die if he does not drink for three days, and if he does not eat for seven days. Now every person can be saved."
"Fourth, it is suggested that the Imperial College should suspend its studies and that the imperial court should also open up useless public buildings to provide temporary residence for homeless people."
"Fifth, all doctors, including the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau, are divided according to regions to treat injuries caused by the earthquake. If the imperial court is in trouble, the East Palace can bear part of the required expenses."
"Sixth, the court can set up a dedicated person to take charge of the people who voluntarily participate in the rescue, and reasonably allocate the area and number of people to avoid chaos in the rescue."
"Seventh, inform all merchants in Bianliang City that before the court has set aside a specific period for disaster relief, anyone who takes the opportunity to drive up prices will be killed without mercy!"
"Eighth, some Xiang troops were deployed to bury those who died due to the earthquake, and all corpses, including animal corpses, were centrally processed. Lime should be thrown in all areas where corpses had been to prevent a major epidemic.
"
"Ninth, the imperial court opened the Changpingcang before the people recovered their belongings, and provided porridge in various places in Bianliang based on the village to ensure that the people did not starve."
"Tenth, the intensity of the Bianliang earthquake should not be the epicenter. While confirming the extent of house damage, we should determine the direction of the earthquake source, dispatch emergency couriers, respond to reports, and reserve various materials to wait for support at any time."
"During this period, the Guard Battalion and Imperial City Detectives are responsible for supervising all accusations. If there is any deliberate slackness or blame-shifting, they will be killed without mercy!"
The urban foxes and rats in Bianliang City have never been eliminated. When Bao Zhengquan was informed of Kaifeng Prefecture, he once tried to control it, but it was diverted away by the guard camp.
With this earthquake, those scum might take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Naturally, this kind of person will be killed without mercy. Perhaps this is the reason why Zhao Xi said "Kill without mercy" so smoothly. Later, he said it in passing.
It's just that...both his father and his husband-in-law were stunned.
Kill without mercy means that as long as certain circumstances arise, you can kill them without explanation.
When has the country ever had such harsh punishments?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty Fu Bi agrees with what His Highness said. In times of chaos, heavy rules should be used. Anyone who commits chaos will be killed if he deserves it!"
Huh? Zhao Zhen continued to be stunned. What's going on? Mr. Fu actually seconded the proposal. Listening to this tone, it seems that he still quite agrees with Xi'er's approach?
Fu Bi indeed agreed. Not only did he agree with killing without mercy, he also agreed with all the proposals of His Highness the Crown Prince.
From food and accommodation, to medical treatment, to epidemic prevention and treatment, as well as all the accidents caused by the entire disaster, His Royal Highness has basically thought of everything that can be thought of.
To be honest, His Highness the Crown Prince's strategy is already well known. This is the first time His Highness the Crown Prince has shown his talent in politics.
Great luck to the country!
Therefore, Fu Bi agreed without any ambiguity. While everyone was still stunned by the massacre, he, as prime minister, took the lead in expressing his stance.
It's very simple, he just asked His Highness the Crown Prince to implement all ten items.
"I agree with what Your Highness said..."
"I second the proposal..."
Zhao Zhen was a little dizzy. He didn't expect his son to pass the test so easily.
He thought it would be the result of being sprayed again, but he passed like this...
Maybe, I really should give in... This idea came up again.
He would just have this idea for a moment, and then change his mind again.
Zhao Xi spoke in plain language again, and Sima Guang, who was writing the imperial edict, once again had the opportunity to show off his literary talent.
But after the edict was formed, everyone nodded in agreement.
But Zhao Xi felt that this was just for the scholars, and neither the soldiers nor the common people could understand it at all.
Forget it, I won’t spoil the fun of this group of elites.
The edict was formed and sent out in the middle of the night. Suddenly, the entire country was in motion.
Zhao Xi, however, wrote it again in vernacular and had it published on the first page of Cuju Express.
Of course, it is not the content of the imperial edict, but a notice to the people.
Clearly tell the people what the imperial court has done for the people due to the earthquake, and how the people should cooperate. At the same time, they must report and expose illegal activities.
Furthermore, Zhao Xi requested that the next day’s Cuju Express be printed in excess and distributed free of charge.
