The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.
Chapter 60 The Shame of Jade City
In the previous life, Yucheng County Magistrate Feng Mingjin sent people to Beijing to report the emergency disaster, but it did not attract the attention of relevant officials.
There was neither reporting at all levels nor effective support, so it just sat on the desk.
It wasn't until New Year's Eve, when thousands of families celebrated their reunion with lights, that the disaster in Yucheng reached its peak.
At first, hundreds of people died every day, but later it grew to thousands.
Magistrate Feng waited for help from the court every day, but nothing happened.
It was not until a month later that the wife of Magistrate Feng stumbled and beat the Dengwen drum that Emperor Mingde learned of the danger of Jade City.
But it was too late. When Emperor Mingde sent his imperial ministers to lead people to Jade City, they only saw a dead city with piles of corpses.
Jade City is destroyed!
After Mrs. Feng learned that her husband had died in Yucheng, she was so sad and angry that she bumped her head in front of Dengwen Drum and died.
This is the "Shame of Jade City" that shocked all countries. It was a shame for the court, a shame for being an official, and even more a shame for the emperor.
Emperor Mingde was furious.
Among them, You Qingnian, the head of the household department who suppressed the case, had his entire family executed.
Shi Anxia's uncle Tang Chuyu was also innocently involved in this incident. He was sent to Cangzhou as the prefect, and was transferred back to Beijing eight years later.
All the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs were not spared. They were distributed, demoted, imprisoned, and beheaded.
Shi Anxia remembered this incident very clearly.
So during these days, she closed all the shops in Beijing and sent out the shopkeepers to collect grain, charcoal, and cotton to make cotton-padded clothes.
People in her mother's village are now working day and night to make clothes and shoes, just to rescue Yucheng at any time.
Shi Anxia said sternly, "Uncle, please believe me. Yucheng's letter for help is on the desk of You Qingnian, the head of the household department. He has neglected his duties and has no regard for Yucheng's life and death. You will report it to the emperor tomorrow and request that Yucheng be rescued personally. ."
Tang Chuyu had a strange feeling in his heart, and wanted to say, "Xia'er, court matters are not something to be trifled with." However, he swallowed his words again and changed to, "We won't be able to prepare all the supplies for a while."
Shi Anxia said, "I have prepared part of it and can donate it to the disaster area. But I have a request, that is, I hope that my uncle can recommend my uncle to the emperor, and you two can go to Yucheng to provide disaster relief together."
"Cheng Yi?" Tang Chuyu looked at Tang Chujun in surprise.
Tang Chujun blushed and waved his hands, "Don't look at me. It has nothing to do with me. I don't know about this at all."
Shi Anxia was worried that Tang Chuyu would misunderstand, "Uncle is my benefactor, and I want to repay him."
Tang Chuyu remembered that Shi Chengyi brought Xia'er home from outside. Such kindness must be repaid.
That night, on the way back home, Tang Chuyu stopped by You Qingnian's house and chatted about the heavy snowfall this winter.
You Qingnian was stunned and did not mention that there was an urgent report from Yucheng on his desk.
In his opinion, New Year's Eve is coming soon, so he should still focus on various matters in Beijing.
In addition, his house was really busy, with a lot of relatives coming from far and near, looking at each other and getting along with each other. His father-in-law also told him to find a way to arrange for his youngest brother-in-law to enter a famous school.
All in all, I was so busy that there was really no need to mention the snowstorm in Yucheng on New Year's Eve.
Tang Chuyu was not sure whether it was You Qingnian who did not receive the emergency report, or whether his niece was too mysterious to believe in a Feng Shui master.
But the next day, Tang Chuyu still brought up the Yucheng snow disaster when the dynasty was about to disperse.
This is the last time to go to court before the new year, and it will be New Year’s Eve in two days.
Emperor Mingde is still very strong and in good spirits.
He was a good emperor who devoted himself to the people, so he naturally paid more attention to Tang Chuyu's proposal.
He asked kindly, "Where did Aiqing get the news?"
Tang Chuyu had prepared the manuscript last night, "A friend of mine came to Beijing from Yucheng Road and told me about the local situation. I think it has been snowing heavily in Beijing for days, not to mention Yucheng, which is known as the 'Snow Town'. Without further delay, I am willing to take people to Jade City to share the emperor's worries."
Emperor Mingde glanced at Tang Chuyu with appreciation.
At this time of heavy wind and snow, who wants to go to disaster relief, and who doesn’t want to spend the New Year together at home? The situation must be urgent, so Tang Chuyu decided to go there in person.
He thought for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows, "The Ministry of Revenue is ordered to submit all the documents sent by local officials to me. No omissions are allowed. Do it quickly!"
As soon as the emperor issued an order, the entire household dug three feet into the ground and carried all the zhezi they had held for months to the Jinluan Hall.
You Qingnian suddenly remembered that Mr. Tang came to his house last night to talk to him about the heavy snowfall this winter. He also vaguely remembered that seven or eight days ago, it seemed that he had indeed received an urgent report personally written by the Yucheng County Magistrate.
His mind suddenly went blank, his whole body trembled, and he finally dug out the Yucheng Urgent Report from a pile of unimportant documents.
Urgent report! It’s really urgent!
Jade City is in danger!
He finally realized the seriousness of the situation, crawled into the Jinluan Palace, cried bitterly, and presented the emergency letter for help written with blood and tears by Feng Mingjin, the magistrate of Yucheng County.
The moment Emperor Mingde saw the urgent report, his blood almost solidified, and he hit You Qingnian on the head with the inkstone on the imperial desk.
"You bastard!" Emperor Mingde didn't get angry easily, but this time he was really angry.
He asked the eunuch to circulate the urgent report from Yucheng to the civil and military officials standing in the audience.
Everyone looked at it and all lost their blood.
eight days! If this emergency report could have been read eight days ago, how many more lives could have been saved!
If it hadn't been for Tang Chuyu's proposal today, I'm afraid all the officials would still be immersed in a stable and happy new year.
Although Tang Chuyu was mentally prepared, when he actually saw the urgent letter, he still felt mixed emotions and extremely ashamed.
He was actually half-convinced!
He actually questioned Mr. Feng Shui’s words!
He actually... almost let down his niece's good intentions!
The niece told him so firmly, "Uncle, this is a good opportunity for you to make contributions to the court!"
He took a step forward and started to say, "Your Majesty, Jade City is in danger! There is no need to delay! Please set off for Jade City immediately!"
Why didn't Emperor Mingde know that Jade City was in danger and couldn't delay?
But it was a snowstorm!
Just sending people there won't solve the problem. A large amount of supplies are needed, such as charcoal fires, cotton clothes, cotton shoes, food... Even if they are dispatched immediately, they won't have time to prepare.
Emperor Mingde said, "The Ministry of Revenue immediately prepared and made every effort to raise relevant materials as quickly as possible."
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a loud voice, "I obey the order!"
He knew that he was just doing meritorious service, whether he could keep his official position or not was another matter. Now he had to do things well to atone for his sin.
General Zhongwu Fu Chuanyi stepped forward and began to say, "I am willing to lead troops to Jade City!"
Emperor Ming De: "It's accurate!"
Huai'an General Ma Liyang said, "I am also willing to lead troops to Yucheng!"
Emperor Mingde did not hesitate: "It's accurate!"
The two generals immediately turned around and ran out of the Jinluan Palace, leading their troops to clear the way.
Disaster relief is no better than fighting a war. The battle for food and fodder can go first.
However, disaster relief, especially snow disasters, requires people to shovel snow to clear the way to ensure that subsequent supplies can be quickly transported into the disaster area.
Tang Chuyu said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report!"
