June 4, the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

One wave has not yet settled, and another wave has risen again.

At this critical moment when the party dispute made Zhu Youxiao feel overwhelmed, a series of natural disasters followed one after another.

The prefect of Yan'an, Shaanxi Province reported that the area had been storms for half a month.

At present, some officials in Yan'an Prefecture are closed, and the post station is blocked. The government cannot even send out street patrols. Even the daily training of local garrison troops has been temporarily stopped.

The local government agencies were almost completely paralyzed, and countless people and soldiers guarding the city were frozen to death every day. The local governments had no choice but to hope that the court would deal with it as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, Jining, Shandong also sent a hurry report.

The prefect of Jining reported that since the beginning of spring this year, there have been occasional locusts passing by. In June, swarms of locusts came from the south.

Locusts gather, covering the sky and the sun, so that spring grass can disappear, and no grass grows wherever you pass.

In his memorial, the Jining Prefect said that swarms of locusts have spread to the surrounding areas recently, and Jining’s official warehouse has opened for one month, and there are still more and more refugees, and the grain payment has already dropped from the drop in the bucket.

The grain stocks in the official warehouse are gradually exhausted, and the news is heard, which directly leads to the current surge in grain prices in Shandong, and will roll exponentially the next day.

Those with grain are hoarding grain and rice, while those without grain can no longer afford grain.

There are refugees everywhere, and the granaries of government governments in many places have no relief. They are truly empty, and refugees are everywhere, and hungry people change their children to eat each other.

Jining is the most important place where the canal flows through, and it is also one of the strongholds of the Royal Chamber of Commerce in Shandong.

The outbreak of Shandong's famine from Jining also had a significant impact on the canal economy.

Natural disasters come just after being prepared for five years. These things are still not enough. The population of the country is now too large.

Fortunately, the sweet potatoes in Jifu Imperial Village have already been mass-produced, and the food transfer from other places should be sufficient for Shandong's needs.

But what if there is another famine in the other provinces at the same time?

Once these refugees are not properly disposed of, they will soon become thieves who make trouble and rebel in various places. At that time, their nature will change.

I don’t have much time and I have to deal with the famine in Shandong as soon as possible.

As for the current chaotic party dispute between the court, Zhu Youxiao decided to appear in person, one-size-fits-all to avoid trouble!

This is what we mainly talked about at today's grand ceremony.

Both urgent comments were delivered yesterday. After reading them, Zhu Youxiao was deeply worried and decided to discuss them at today's court meeting and issue an order immediately.

"Long live your Majesty--!"

After the ministers called out, Zhu Youxiao sat firmly on the Jiulong imperial throne, swept his eyes over the ministers below the steps, threw out two memorials, and said straight to the point:

"Please put everything aside. It's heavy snow in Shaanxi and great hunger in Shandong. Let's talk about it. How to deal with it?"

Before he finished speaking, a censor stepped out and advised:

"Your Majesty, I have this report!"

Zhu Youxiao looked over and said, "Is it about the case of the death penalty? I said, let's talk about disaster relief first, you go back."

The censor refused to give in and said:

"Your Majesty, Xu Xianchun is arrogant and domineering, arresting and killing people at will, and everyone in the people shouts and beats him. If he does not deal with it in time, it may affect people's hearts!"

Zhu Youxiao then squinted his eyes, looked at him for a while, and said:

"Cong Shishan, what did you not understand what I said?"

"But Your Majesty..." Cong Shishan did not notice that the courtiers looked at him as if they were looking at a fool, and wanted to say something else.

British Duke Zhang Weixian stood aside, looked at this guy, and then looked at the emperor whose murderous aura could not be suppressed. He quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

"But?" Zhu Youxiao was really angry this time, "Let me tell you what it is to affect people's hearts."

"Shaanxi is snowing heavily, the government is shut down, the people are huddled at home and frozen to death, and the court does not deal with it in time, which is called affecting people's hearts."

"If Jining is famine, if disaster relief is not provided in time, locusts will be hunted and killed, and it will spread throughout the province, and hungry people will eat each other, which will affect people's hearts."

"Even someone like you is worthy of standing in the court and saying these words to me in a noble manner?" Zhu Youxiao stood up and looked out of the hall:

"Transfer to the general of the Han Dynasty."

After saying that, two warriors from the hall attended the hall, standing next to Cong Shishan, one on the left and the other on the right, and said in unison: "See Your Majesty!"

"Drag down, take twenty poles, dismissal, and be exiled!"

"Your Majesty, I know you are wrong, Your Majesty—!" Cong Shishan said "ah" and quickly knelt on the ground.

Not only him, but also Yu's court officials did not expect that the emperor would be so angry with the censors today.

This was the first time that the court had been slapped in the court, and it was also the first time that the court officials were dismissed at the grand court meeting.

I'm afraid that Cong Shishan will be recorded in history.

However, Yu people dare not envy such a book. It is better to live than to die. Such a way of dying is too unworthy.

In any case, the miserable censor was dragged down from the palace by two burly generals of the Han Dynasty.

Shaoqing, the sound of the court staff trembling all over the body was heard entering the hall.

The great Han general beat the courtyard staff, without any twists and turns, and each staff was beaten firmly into the flesh.

After taking twenty sticks, Cong Shishan was covered in blood and fainted.

Someone turned his head slightly and saw Cong Shishan's miserable situation. He was shocked and quickly turned around and was afraid.

Being exiled is not as simple as letting you join the army, especially for these literary court officials, it is like being sentenced to death.

Everyone's hearts are clear about the ending of Cong Shishan's remaining half of his life in the tragic life of becoming a military officer.

Zhu Youxiao sat back, looked at the ministers, and asked angrily: "Is there anyone else to advise now? Stand out!"

Everyone looked at each other, all lowering their eyes and silently.

Who dares this? The emperor is obviously angry today. It is not necessarily true that he will go out at this time and will be recorded in history. It is certain that he will die miserably.

"Shaanxi is snowy and Shandong is famine. It must be dealt with as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath and said slowly:

"You remember that as long as the Shaanxi government is not operating normally, Jining Locusts will not be controlled. You dare to ask for an impeachment and advice in front of me."

"kill!"

"Do you understand?"

......

A court meeting was shocking.

This can be said to be the most impressive court meeting of the Tianqi Dynasty so far. The occurrence of natural disasters has become the hole that Zhu Youxiao transferred the court officials to Xu Xianchun.

If the court officials were so depressed for a few days, they would continue to hold on.

After this court meeting, the court properly dealt with heavy snow in Shaanxi and the famine caused by locusts in Jining.

One hundred thousand cotton coats are being sent from Shuntian Prefecture to Shaanxi, and more cotton coats are being made in a step-by-step manner, and the renovation team sent by the Ministry of Industry is also on the way.

Among them is a small number of professionals, fully armed and well-dressed, and are sent to guide the local governments on how to maintain operation.

In addition, there are also a large number of craftsmen recruited in the capital in the renovation team.

After arriving in Shaanxi, they will install stoves from door to door in Yan'an Prefecture, which is the most serious, to help the people survive as much as possible in this storm.

As for Jining, in addition to disaster relief, Zhu Youxiao also designated Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang, who were effective in promoting the new salt law in Fujian, to go to the local area to take charge of disaster relief matters.

The court once again made extremely rapid responses to local natural disasters. Countless disaster relief supplies and responsible officials set out in batches on the third day after the memorial arrived in the capital.

This made many people feel at ease. Only when the court has done something can we feel at ease.
