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 kindness!
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 is not enough to solve the problem. A large amount of supplies are needed, such as charcoal, cotton clothes, cotton shoes, and food... It will be too late to prepare them even if we mobilize them now.
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!"
