Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Seeing that it was her, Li Chengjing put down the book, quickly held her arm, and said, "You are pregnant, so you can't be tired. How can you do these things like serving tea and water?"

Cheng Yujin thought it was funny: "It's just serving a bowl of soup, what's there to be tired of? Your Royal Highness, I know my own body, I'm not as fragile as you think. Imperial Doctor Zhao also said that after four to eight months, the fetal position is stable, On the contrary, we need to increase the qiáng exercise to save the difficult labor during production."

Li Chengjing felt worried when he heard those two words, and quickly stopped her words: "Okay, I understand, these words are not allowed to be repeated in the future."

Cheng Yujin glanced at him and teased, "You always told me before, when did His Highness have faith in words?"

Li Chengjing sighed: "I used to think that asking God to worship Buddha, or even having to say auspicious words on New Year's Day, was mediocre and self-deceiving. Now that I have you, I understand a little bit. I don't ask for a wish, just for peace of mind."

Li Chengjing helped Cheng Yujin to sit down. After Cheng Yujin sat down, she took out the porcelain gu, and evenly warmed it with a spoon, handed it to Li Chengjing, and asked, "Your Highness, I think your eyebrows are deeply locked today, is it because of disaster relief?"

Li Chengjing took the porcelain gu and sighed: "That's right. Shou Yang chose Xu Wen out of the public opinion. Although Xu Wen is talented, he is too greedy for money, and he is stubborn and has a tendency to take risks. Although he also He used to be a prefect in the Jiangnan area, but the time of peace is completely different from the year of disaster. He has a high self-esteem and is greedy for money. I am afraid that he will not be able to control his own hands during disaster relief, but will delay the disaster."

Cheng Yujin also felt heavy when he heard it, but this was a matter of the outer court, Cheng Yujin could not help, not to mention that the candidate was recommended by Yang Shoufu, I am afraid that the court would have no objection at all. Cheng Yujin asked softly, "Has the candidate been confirmed?"

Li Chengjing nodded and said, "Yes."

Then there is no way to do it. Cheng Yujin is very understanding and never embarrassed himself because of things that have become an established reality. She softly persuaded: "His Royal Highness, the candidate for the disaster relief minister has been determined, and it is useless for you to worry about it. Since Yang Shoufu has finalized the chief ambassador, other candidates will inevitably be released. Your Highness may wish to take this opportunity and put him in the disaster relief team. A few trusted lieutenants. You don’t need to care about your name when you are in a national disaster, as long as you can really make a difference, it’s enough.”

Li Chengjing took a long sigh, put his hand over the back of Cheng Yujin's hand, and said, "You are right. Thanks to my beloved wife, she has a deep sense of righteousness and an exquisite mind. Otherwise, I don't know how much time it will take."

Cheng Yujin glanced at him with a smile, and said, "You are used to deceiving me. I don't believe these words. What I can think of, the Crown Prince can't think of?"

"That's not the same." Li Chengjing put down the porcelain bowl, got up and sat next to Cheng Yujin, gently hugged her shoulders, and naturally rested his chin on her hair. His voice was low, almost muttering to himself: "With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for."

Cheng Yujin felt the weight on top of her head and did not hide or move. Although he couldn't see it, Cheng Yujin could feel that Li Chengjing was very tired.

There is a catastrophe in the country, the people are displaced, people die every moment in the disaster area, and the courtiers are still quarreling because of factions.

Cheng Yujin sighed in her heart, and took the initiative to hold Li Chengjing's hand on her lap: "Your Highness, it is very difficult to sail against the current. Everything will be fine."

Chapter 126 Plague

The flood in the south of the Yangtze River was in emergency, and it didn't take long for the disaster relief team to set off from the capital and rushed to Jiangnan with relief silver and provisions.

This disaster relief team can be said to carry the hope of the whole dynasty. The cabinet is urging questions every day, and the station is waiting in full force. However, everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time, but the news related to the disaster has not come.

Even if Xu Wen sent a memorial, it was full of mandarin clichés, and he told me in a few words about the flood and disaster relief. The emperor thought that the capital and Jiangnan were far apart. Xu Wen was busy relocating the victims and had no time to write documents, so there was no news for a long time, so the emperor suppressed his anxiety and waited patiently.

However, the patience of the civil and military officials did not wait for the news that the flood was cured and everything was back on track. The courtier, who was placed by Li Chengjing as his deputy, failed to persuade him for a long time. At the risk of being disrespectful, he sent an urgent memorial to Beijing . His memorials were escorted in several ways, and in the end only one of them reached Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing sank immediately after seeing the memorial. The next day, he handed the memorial to the emperor in public in the morning.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan Emergency News, Xu Wen rashly greed for merit, embezzled money for disaster relief, replaced new rice with moldy rice, and the victims vomited and diarrhoea after eating, and the death toll soared to more than 1,300 in just ten days. Xu Wen rushed down. After the catastrophe, he tried to cover it up in vain. He did not mention it in the memorial. He also suppressed his subordinates and did not allow everyone to report to the court. As a result, because the bodies were not disposed of in time, a plague broke out. Jiangnan has been raining continuously for the past few days, and the climate is humid. , the plague spread very fast, and before Zhao Liang risked his death, an entire village had already been infected with the plague."

"Plague!" The people in the DPRK were shocked. After floods and droughts, the most feared thing is the plague. In history, it is not uncommon for one of ten households to die because of the plague. Catastrophe.
