Emperor Hongzhi became excited.

There is news...

Now that the roads are isolated there, the people are already wandering away, the original counties and villages have long been beyond recognition, and no one knows where people have been wandering. Therefore, it is so difficult to get the news as quickly as possible.

Now that the news has come, it has greatly exceeded Emperor Hongzhi's expectations.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Remember."

"After I learned that the land collapsed, the official of Lingqiu County reported that after the land collapsed, Lingqiu County was tragic, thousands of houses collapsed, countless casualties, and countless casualties. The land collapsed for three days, the mountains fell, and the river embankment was broken. The soldiers and civilians of Lingqiu were trapped in water and fire. If there was no rescue, they were only afraid that natural disasters would cause disasters to cause human relations. The official also reported that the great bandit of Lingqiu County, Hu Kaishan, was listed as an imperial prisoner in his early years. The government repeatedly surrounded and suppressed them, but was killed by him. This thief was cruel. It is said that the long one zhang long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and hundreds of people were invincible. Now, this thief took advantage of the situation and gathered thousands of chaotic people, spread across Lingqiu, and the soldiers and civilians in the disaster area were dead and in front of him. I beg Your Majesty... to decide."

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi felt like he was holding a big rock in his throat when he heard the tragic situation in the disaster area.

But what really made him look like was the rioter Hu Kaishan.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing was the governor of the East Factory. He understood the look of Emperor Hongzhi, and hurriedly said: "This person has some impression of me. This person is indeed powerful. He once attacked the grain team alone, killed dozens of guards, and plundered property. Datong Dusi once surrounded and suppressed him, but it's a pity..."

Bang!

Only after hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was furious.

"Will Datong Dusi be able to destroy a thief?"

"This..." Xiao Jing said laughing and crying: "He hides in the mountains..."

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "But now, taking advantage of the disaster, he came out to harm people and forced thousands of people to coerce. Have you ever thought about how big this would be? Have you ever thought about the prince, Fang Jifan and the students of Xishan Academy where they were, what would happen if they were attacked by these evil enemies?"

Xiao Jing said in panic in the imperial city, "I... I will die! I will go to Lingqiu in person, and you will find His Highness the Crown Prince no matter what."

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "I wish I could go. I stayed in this Forbidden City and couldn't sleep or eat. If it weren't for the emperor, I would have been in Lingqiu County now. Issue: The disaster in Lingqiu County was a major disaster, and five thousand cavalrymen in Beijing were allocated to Lingqiu County. Try to see if they could enter the disaster area. Before entering, they should be cautious and must not be done. Because entering rashly will make the official army a burden. The mountain roads in the county are isolated and there is not enough food. These people are useless to enter and can only serve as a support."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I will order Xie Qian, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, to select some people, go to Lingqiu County in person, and find a way to enter the disaster area. I always feel that a group of children have gone there and are worried that Xie Qing's family is here, if they can find them, it will be easier."

Emperor Hongzhi was anxious at this time and could not take care of anything at the moment. Although the court also had a precedent for ordering officials to go to the disaster area, they were usually ministers in the court or censors of the Censorate. The specifications of the same size as today are rare.

…………

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

The situation in Lingqiu County is still unclear. When you rashly enter at this time, many unexpected things are very likely to happen. I dare not say that I will die for a lifetime, but it is certain.

Xie Qian was quite calm. What he was more worried about was not his own safety issues. There was a prince in Lingqiu County and so many students from Xishan Academy, and each of them had a lot of relationships.

What's more, according to the current situation, if the relief to Lingqiu County is not timely, the bandits will intensify. Next door to Lingqiu County is Beizhili. If thousands of riots are rampant, it will be so terrible.

He knew very well that his burden was heavy.

It is understandable that Your Majesty let himself, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, enter Lingqiu County. Apart from a prime minister like himself, who has the ability to quickly stabilize the situation in the disaster area?

Xie Qian was definitely not looking down on anyone in the civil and military affairs of the court, but there were not many people who could really stand on their own.

However, Xie Qian was in trouble with the candidates who were selected into the disaster area. This time, the people who were going to the disaster area were surprisingly enthusiastic. Hanlin Grand Secretary Shen Wen was the first to ask for a visit. He had to go. In his words, he would die in Lingqiu.

There were also many other officials, and they were rushing to the top.

Xie Qian was so amused that time was tight, so he immediately took his people away.

The vast number of people and horses walked very fast. Lingqiu County was only four hundred miles away from Beizhili, and only two hundred kilometers were placed in later generations.

In addition, the officials were anxious and kept urging. Xie Qian suddenly realized that he had been kidnapped by this man!

These people led by Shen Wen were urging them to leave quickly! When they were tired, they naturally had to take a break. Even if the sedan chairmen carrying the sedan chair were not tired, the horse would be very tired. But if they couldn't, they had to leave...

Shen Wen said righteously: "Mr. Xie, the disaster is urgent. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no whereabouts yet. The people are in the midst of water and fire. How can we afford to delay?"

The others also said, "Yes, yes, your highness is of great importance."

"Mr. Xie, one step late, may cause a disaster."

Xie Qian looked confused. He had always been good at debate, but now he was besieged by a group of people. They were all full of righteousness and didn't know what to say for a moment!

Then, he glanced at the sedan chairmen who almost wanted to die and finally gave in.

Everyone said that Xie Qian had a bad temper and was unreasonable, but Xie Qian was not stupid either. There was no reason for these people who were concerned about their sons. The most important thing was that they were many.

Xie Qianbing said, "Then let's walk for a while and let's take a break."

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

So the group walked along the rugged mountain road and entered Lingqiu County in just four or five days.

Soon, they discovered a grain transport team coming from the West Mountain.

This made me much easier. Xie Qian wanted to inquire about the situation in the mountains, but the husband of this grain team was also a newcomer, with only one leading the team and said something.

When Wen and the bandits were in the situation, the man said, "I haven't heard of any thief."

"..." At this point, Xie Qian felt that there was no need to communicate with such people, and he could not get any useful information, so he would talk about anything else.

So a group of people continued to cross mountains and ridges, and halfway through the way they watched many villages being moved directly to the ground. This shocking and tragic scene made them feel cold.

Shen Wen already felt that he was going to die. His waist was in great pain, his soles of his feet were worn out, and he limped and his eyes were red.

But he was just thinking in his heart that Chen Ao also entered the mountain from here.

Ao'er...has hardships suffered?

Looking at the rocks that fell from the mountain, Shen Wen felt even more heartbroken. The terrain now looks much better, but when Chen Ao and his friends entered the disaster area, there were so many things falling from the mountain, wouldn’t it be that they would smash people into meat pies?

Nothing will happen?

The more I thought about it, the more I became scared. Shen Wen shivered and became frightened.

So he didn't care about the pain and continued to stagger.

A group of imperial officials ordered to enter the mountainous area, but they could not get rid of the sedan chair. They complained one by one, and they had never suffered such hardship in their lives.

But they still insisted and had to keep going.

Xie Qian wanted to stay, but was worried that there would be thieves. He was the prime minister. He hurried into the disaster area this time, and it was really a mess. Many ceremonial guards were abandoned along the way. There were originally gongs that opened the way, the signs of the imperial destiny, and the eight-carrying sedan chairs...

But when I looked back, there were a group of old guys rolling in the mud, dressed in rags, and all in a mess behind me.

The old guys didn't dare to stop, and their awareness was very high. Someone sprained his ankle and could not walk anymore. He waved to everyone: "Go, thousands of people, life and death are right in front of me. Don't worry about me, you can go, I will stay here, leave some dry food for me, and let a servant accompany me here. Oh, it doesn't hurt, there is no need to apply medicine, there is no doctor here, there, don't spend manpower and material resources to send me back. I'm here to rescue disasters and to restoration. I'm here, I'll ask you to do it. Go, go..."

Xie Qian felt like he wanted to die again.

As a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he is much older than those in his thirties and 40 years old. You can handle it. I can't. He was supported by someone and climbed a mountain. When he saw that there was still a mountain road stretching out to the mountains in the distance, he gritted his teeth and said, "It won't work, it won't work, it won't work, it won't work, it won't work, it won't work, it will work, it will work..."

"Mr. Xie..." Shen Wen was behind him, with red eyes and looking at Xie Qian pitifully, even his voice was filled with a bit of desolation.

"..." Xie Qian said nothing. As a prime minister, he should be an example.

So...what else can you say?

Let's go!

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

But... he is a human, an old man, a flesh and blood body, and he is about to die. He stepped into the coffin and has never suffered so many people in his life.

He wished he would sprain his foot.

But... he knew very well that even if he sprained his ankle, he was afraid he couldn't escape. Let's go, let's go, let's die here.

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

There were almost no one along the way, only traces of devastated and damaged by the ground. Moreover, some strange sounds always appeared in the mountains and forests. Xie Qian was worried, and he could not be sure whether the thieves here were hiding nearby and rushed out at any time to kill them, exhausted people.
