million.The imperial court was caught off guard by the sudden flood. Although the order for disaster relief was handed down for many days, the actions of various places were very slow.Especially the Ministry of Household Affairs, which couldn't even prepare the minimum relief money.

The old sage was very angry about this. He knew that the treasury was empty, but he really didn't expect it to be so empty that there were only a pile of IOUs left.But even if the head of the Minister of the Household Department is removed, no money is still no money.In desperation, the old sage had no choice but to allocate money from his private treasury and send people south to supervise the disaster relief.

As the news of the disaster came from the south, Yu Wenhu looked at the old man with something wrong.I don't know what kind of good luck this guy got, not to mention that he has changed from evil to good, but he has also learned to foretell?How did he know that there was going to be a flood in the south? Not only did he stockpile so much cement early on, but he also kept transporting it to the south.

However, the most urgent task now is disaster relief, Lord Su didn't get to the bottom of Jia Enhou, he was right under his nose, and it would be a matter of time before he figured it out.

When the flood just showed signs, Master She made a memorial about the cement, explaining the function and usage of the cement in detail.Because cement is a new thing, no one has seen it before, so it didn't attract attention at first.The old sage only ordered several state capitals to adopt this thing because Jia She rarely cared about state affairs, and called it an experiment.

The old man didn't care, and while stepping up the cement production at home, he ordered people to use the cement sent to the south to strengthen the dam.Knowing that there was such a natural disaster, but unable to warn in advance and plan ahead, Jia She felt a lot of guilt for those victims, but he could only try his best to make up for it in other ways.He didn't want to be a magic stick, and he didn't want to lose his life.

Therefore, from June onwards, Mr. Xi's expression was heavy every day, and even the youngest brother Cong didn't dare to approach him.And when the news came that the Jiujiang embankment had breached, the elder sat silently in the study all night until he was summoned by the old sage the next day to enter the palace to see him.

The reason why Jia Amnesty, an idle nobleman, was summoned at such an emergency was because the cement had made great contributions in the flood.Several states and counties named by the old sage were reinforced by cement mixed with sand, stones and steel bars, and they were as solid as gold in the monstrous flood.While this made the old sage rejoice, he also had high hopes for cement.Whether it can withstand the flood depends on it.

"Enhou, how much cement is left now, can it be used for emergency reinforcement of the dam?" In the imperial study, after talking about the situation in the disaster-stricken area, the old sage said with anticipation in his eyes: "If we send more people, can we build it in a short time?" Kiln fired?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, I have been working overtime in my workshop, but the output is difficult to meet the demand. This object was obtained by chance when my cousin Jia Jing was refining alchemy. At first, I just saw that it could cement bricks and stones. I just came out to repair the mansion. Who knew that this thing is still so useful, but I didn’t burn it vigorously. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The old man met the old sage's gloomy eyes for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But the cement kiln is not complicated. I have drawn the blueprint. If there are enough materials, the kiln can be opened in half a month, but I don't know if it can catch up with the flood. Speed." As he spoke, he took out the blueprint in his sleeve pocket and put his hands in Dai Quan's.

"Okay!" The old sage flipped through the drawing and found that it was very clear and the structure was not complicated, so he was very happy.Looking at the formula for firing cement, he praised Jia Amnesty loudly, and looked at the elder with a much softer gaze.

The princes and princes who were here, the elders of Junji Pavilion, ministers and ministers of various ministries all looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that this time Jia's family was once again in the eyes of saints, and they might have to treat Rongguo Mansion in a different light in the future.

The old sage opened his mouth to reward Jia Amnesty, but swallowed the words back.This is the time when the disaster is urgent, and it is not suitable to award rewards, it is better to wait until the natural disaster is over.Just to see if this kid can hold his breath and if he is a useful person.

After Jia Amnesty handed over the cement, he turned his mind to the epidemic after the flood.In his "dream", many people died in the flood, but more people died from the disease after the disaster.Hand over several preventive prescriptions in the "dream" to your confidants, and take them south to prepare medicinal materials, hoping to save a few people.

In addition, the unstable people in the south rebelled, which caused the old sage to fall ill, and finally became Yu Wenhu.With his intervention this time, I don't know if there will be such a result.However, if he is allowed to stand by and watch, Grand Master Xi will feel uneasy again.

Just when he was struggling in his heart, Mr. She didn't know that his little butterfly was too small to flap its wings to cause a tsunami.Even with his cement and prescriptions, the people who can benefit are limited to a few places.The disaster area in the south still suffered heavy losses, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and large-scale epidemics occurred after the flood receded.

Although reminded by Jia Amnesty's hint, Yu Wenhu persuaded the old sage to change to an imperial envoy who went south to escort the relief money, but the result was no different from his "dream".After all, it is not an imperial envoy who is greedy, but the entire bureaucratic system in the south from top to bottom.Even if the imperial envoy is stern and impartial, they can still find a way to embezzle money and money, the worst is to let the imperial envoy stay forever.Besides, the old sage's vision was indeed not very good, and the imperial envoy he changed was only half a catty compared to that one.

Therefore, at the end of September, in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other places, there was news that the victims, because of poor relief, rose up to loot the treasury and attack the government.However, within ten months, four provinces were affected.

The old sage was hit hard, and when the eight hundred li emergency report came, he fainted in the hall.As more and more shocking events came, the old sage's condition became more and more serious, and even the Tai Hospital was helpless.

"Tell me, how is my condition? Do you have a cure?" The old saint's complexion was pale, his eyes were dark and sunken, and he seemed to be more than ten years older than his appearance at the New Year's banquet.At this time, it was just a question, and he was so tired that he was out of breath, and his eyes were darkened.

The envoy of the imperial hospital knelt in front of the dragon couch, with sweat pouring down his drooping forehead, and after muttering for a while, he said: "Return, return to the Holy Majesty, I am incompetent..." After saying these words, he seemed to have lost everything. With average strength, he fell limply to the ground.

I am going to die! ?

Although the old sage also felt that his health was not good, he didn't expect it to be so serious.But after a brief period of confusion and anger, he quickly returned to his usual calm and self-possession.He has sat on the throne for more than 30 years, which can no longer be considered short. During this period, he has tasted the ups and downs. Even if he is still unwilling, it is time for him to take a good rest.

It's just, this position...who should it be reserved for?

No.18 Thoughts on King Su's succession and another path to the throne The new emperor's southern tour

Inheriting the throne is a major event in the country, so the old sage can't do it casually.He has five adult sons at this time, and he must choose one of them.After pawing and pawing, the old sage didn't make a decision in his mind, instead he couldn't help but think of the deposed prince, Prince Yizhong.

The child's biological mother died early, and he brought him up with his own hands. As soon as he ascended the throne, he was made a prince, and carefully cultivated the way of governing the country.I originally thought that the father would be kind and the son would be filial, so that the country and the throne would be passed on smoothly, and the father and son would become a good story.Unfortunately……

The old sage was lying on the bed, feeling dejected for a while.The good father and son, how did they fight each other in the end?Ever since Yizhong left, he had been thinking about this question. In fact, he already had an answer, but he never wanted to face it squarely.However, now that he was about to pass away, there was nothing he could not let go of.

Time, fate, everything is just a word of "power". When the son grows up, he wants to take power, but he has no intention of delegating power. The contradiction is as simple as it is, but it is so deadly.

After a short period of sadness, the old sage quickly recovered as the emperor of the dynasty.Yizhong has already gone, so it is pointless to think about him, as for the few remaining...

The eldest son is his first son. He has gone out with the army several times and made great military exploits, but he has been banned and disgusted by him because of the abolition of the prince; It is still not easy to control the overall situation of the imperial court; the fourth child is calm and steady, and he is very organized in his work. Everything entrusted to him can be perfect, but he is too strict; The method was too exquisite; Lao Jiu was never in his consideration, that is absurd and dandy, An's living as an idle prince is worthy of his father.

Thinking about the current situation, the old sage finally fixed his targets on the old Sisu Wang Yuwenhu and the old Bacheng Wang Yuwenqi.But in the end, he chose the fourth Yu Wenhu.There is no other reason. The situation in the south is urgent now, and what is needed is an emperor with an iron fist.If the fourth child is determined to be ruthless, even his mother's family will not be merciless in dealing with it.

And Lao Ba has always been tactful in life, if he becomes uncharacteristically tough, it may cause unnecessary backlash, which is not a good thing.Furthermore, when it was proposed to re-establish the crown prince, nearly [-]% of the courtiers asked for the crown prince to be established, which made him feel a thorn in his heart all the time.

The old sage was a vigorous man. Now that he knew that his body was hopeless, and he had made a decision in his heart, he should even write down the imperial decree for the Zen position, and Zen will be located in Yu Wenhu, the fourth son of the emperor Su Wang, on the first day of next month.As soon as this decree was promulgated, even though the courtier Xungui was mentally prepared, the entire court was still in a state of turmoil.

However, with the strong support of the old sage, all overt or covert voices of opposition were suppressed, Yu Wenhu successfully ascended the throne, and began to deal with the southern rebellion
