Emperor Hongzhi was excited.

There is news...

Now the roads there are cut off, the people have been displaced, the original county town and villages have long been changed beyond recognition, and no one knows where the people have gone. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to get news as quickly as possible.

Now that there is news, it has greatly exceeded Emperor Hongzhi's expectations.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Read."

"After I learned about the landslide, the officials of Lingqiu County flew a letter to report that since the landslide, Lingqiu County has been devastated. Thousands of houses collapsed, countless casualties, and the aftermath of the landslide lasted for three days. Mountains slid and rivers The dikes were all broken, and the army and civilians in Lingqiu were trapped in water and fire. If there is no rescue, they are afraid that natural disasters will cause disasters for their relationships. The officials also reported that Hu Kaishan, a giant bandit in Lingqiu County, was listed as an imperial criminal in his early years. The government has repeatedly encircled and suppressed him. Instead, he was killed by him. This thief is ferocious. It is said that he is one foot long, with a tiger's back and waist, and is invincible to a hundred people. Now, this thief took advantage of the situation and gathered thousands of rioters. .”

"..."

Hearing the tragic situation in the disaster area, Emperor Hongzhi felt as if he was holding a big rock in his heart, like a stick in his throat.

But what really changed his face was the chaotic thief Hu Kaishan.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing is the governor of the East Factory, he understood the look in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, and said quickly: "This man, I have some impressions, this man is really powerful, he once attacked the grain team single-handedly, killed dozens of guards, looted property, The capital of Datong once encircled and suppressed it, but it's a pity..."

Snapped!

Just hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was furious.

"A mere thief, can the Datong Metropolitan Commander kill him?"

"This..." Xiao Jing couldn't laugh or cry: "He hides in the mountains..."

Emperor Hongzhi sneered and said, "But now, taking advantage of the catastrophe, he has come out to harm people and kidnapped thousands of people. Have you ever thought about how big a disaster this will cause? Have you ever thought that the crown prince, Fang Jifan What will happen to the students of Xishan Academy if they are attacked by these villains?"

Xiao Jing said panickedly in the imperial city, "Servant... I will die! I will go to... Lingqiu, and I will find His Royal Highness no matter what."

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "I can't wait to go too. I stay in the Forbidden City, and I can't sleep or eat. If it weren't for me being the emperor, I would be in Lingqiu County now. The decree: Lingqiu County has a catastrophe, and the capital camp Xiaoqi will be dispatched." Five thousand people went to the vicinity of Lingqiu County to try to see if they could enter the disaster area. Before entering, one had to be cautious, and absolutely not, because entering rashly would make the officers and soldiers a burden. The county was cut off by mountain roads, and there were not enough Food, it is useless for these people to go in, it can only be used as a support."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Order Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar, to select some people and go to Lingqiu County in person, and find a way to enter the disaster area. I always feel that a group of children ran there. Don't worry, with Xie Qing's family here, if we can find them, it will be easier."

Emperor Hongzhi was very anxious at this time, and he couldn't take care of anything now. Although the imperial court had precedents of ordering officials to go to disaster areas, they were usually the ministers of the court or the imperial censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Specifications, however, are rare.

…………

Xie Qian took the king's order, which made many people worry about him!

The situation in Lingqiu County is still unclear, if you enter rashly at this time, many unforeseen events are very likely to happen, I dare not say that there is a near-death, but life is in danger, but it is certain.

Xie Qian was quite indifferent. What he was more worried about was not his own safety. There is a prince in Lingqiu County, and there are so many students from Xishan Academy, and none of them are closely related.

What's more, judging from the current situation, if the relief to Lingqiu County is not timely, the banditry will intensify. The next door to Lingqiu County is Beizhili. What a terrible thing.

He knows his burden is heavy.

It is justifiable for His Majesty to let himself, a cabinet scholar, enter Lingqiu County. Except for a prime minister like himself, who else has the ability to quickly stabilize the situation in the disaster area?

Xie Qian is by no means underestimating anyone in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but there are not many people who can really stand alone.

It’s just that Xie Qian had a hard time choosing candidates for the disaster area. This time, the people who were going to the disaster area were surprisingly enthusiastic. No, in his words, you will die in Lingqiu.

There are also quite a few other officials, who are scrambling to be the first.

Xie Qian couldn't laugh or cry, and time was running out, so he immediately set off with his people.

The mighty people and horses walked extremely fast. The distance between Lingqiu County and Beizhili was only 400 miles. In later generations, it was only 200 kilometers.

Coupled with the officials, all anxious and constantly urging, Xie Qian suddenly found out that he had been kidnapped by this group of people!

These people headed by Shen Wen are all urging to leave quickly! If you are tired, you will naturally have to take a rest. Even if the bearers who carry the sedan chair are not tired, the horse is tired enough. But no, I have to go...

Shen Wenda said awe-inspiringly: "Grand Xie, the disaster is urgent. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not disappeared yet. The common people are in the midst of fire and water. How can we afford to wait?"

Others also said one after another: "Yes, yes, the safety of His Highness has a lot to do with it."

"Grandpa Xie, I'm a step late, and I'm afraid it will lead to a catastrophe."

Xie Qian was in a daze. He was good at debating, but now he was surrounded by a group of people.

People besieged, everyone was full of righteousness, and they didn't know what to say for a while!

Then, he glanced at the bearers who were about to die, and finally gave up.

Everyone said that Xie Qian had a bad temper and would not forgive others, but Xie Qian was not stupid. There was no reason for these people who cared about their sons. The most important thing was that there were so many of them.

Xie Qian said, "Then let's walk for a while and let people take a rest."

"Okay, walk!" Shen Wen didn't feel embarrassed.

So a group of people walked along the rugged mountain road, and it took only four or five days to enter Lingqiu County.

Soon, they found a grain transport team from the west mountain.

This was much easier. Xie Qian wanted to inquire about the situation in the mountains, but the folks in this food team were also newcomers, and there was only one leader who spoke a few words.

When Wen mentioned the situation of bandits, the man said, "I've never heard of any bandits."

"..." At this point, Xie Qian felt that there was no need to communicate with this kind of person, and he couldn't get any useful information, so there was nothing to talk about.

So a group of people continued to cross the mountains and saw many villages being directly moved to the ground on the way. This shocking tragic scene made them feel chills in their hearts.

Shen Wen already felt that he was going to die, his back hurt badly, the soles of his feet were worn out, he was limping, his eyes were red.

But in his heart, he was only thinking that Shen Ao also entered the mountain from here.

Ao'er...how much has he suffered.

Looking at the rocks that fell from the mountain, Shen Wen felt even more creepy. The terrain looks much better now, but when Shen Ao and the others entered the disaster area, so many things fell from the mountain. Don't they want to smash people into meatloaf?

Nothing will happen, right?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Shen Wen shuddered, and fear grew in his heart.

So he ignored the pain and continued to stagger.

A group of officials from the imperial court entered the mountainous area, but they couldn't take the sedan chair, and they all complained. They have never experienced such hardship in their life.

But they still persisted and had to go on.

Xie Qian wanted to stay, but was worried that there would be thieves. He was the prime minister, and he was really embarrassed when he rushed into the disaster area this time. Many guards of honor were abandoned along the way. There used to be gongs to clear the way, signs of imperial orders, and eight large sedan chairs...

But looking back now, there are a group of ragged old guys rolling in the mud behind them.

The old guys just didn’t dare to stop, and their awareness was very high. Some people sprained their feet and couldn’t walk anymore. They waved at the crowd: “Go, thousands of people, life and death are in front of you, don’t worry about the old man, you take care of yourself Go, the old man stays here, leave some dry food for me, and let an officer stay here, that’s all. Hey, it doesn’t hurt, there is no need to take medicine, and there is no doctor here, so there is no need to spend manpower and material resources to send the old man back, I will wait They are here for disaster relief and peace of mind, gentlemen, I entrust them to you. Go, go..."

Xie Qian's mood was that he wanted to die again.

As a cabinet scholar, his age is much older than these officials who are in their 30s and 40s. You can bear it, but the old man can't. He was supported by others and climbed over a mountain. In the distance, there is still a mountain road that stretches to the mountains. He gritted his teeth, pressed his hands and said: "It's not going to happen, it's not going to happen, it's really not going to happen, I have to take a break, take a rest..."

"Xie Gong..." Shen Wen was right behind him, his eyes were red, he looked at Xie Qian pitifully, and even his voice was a bit desolate.

"..." Xie Qian didn't say anything, as the minister, he should set an example.

So... what else can I say.

let's go!

Xie Qian is not a person who loves the people, and only covets his own personal enjoyment.

It's just...he is a human being, an old man, a body of flesh and blood, dying, stepping into a coffin, a person who has never suffered so much in his life.

He wished his feet were sprained too.

But...he also knew very well that even if he sprained his ankle, he might not be able to avoid it, so let's go, let's go, he might as well die here.

So he gritted his teeth and continued to stagger forward with the support, dragging his trembling calf.

On this road, there is almost no one to be seen along the way, only the scars and traces of being destroyed by the landslide, and there will always be some strange sounds in the mountain forest. Xie Qian is worried, and he is not sure whether the thieves here are hiding. They are nearby, ready to rush out at any time, and kill the exhausted group of them.

But the others seemed to be indifferent, and continued to move forward, with haste and hope in their eyes.
