In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Bianliang Road into Kaifeng Prefecture in Beijing. In the eleventh year, he dismissed Beijing as a prefecture and established the vassal state of Zhou King Zhu Ju (su).

Since then, Kaifeng Prefecture has begun to prosper as a thoroughfare to eight provinces.

Because of its special political status, Kaifeng Prefecture controls 30 counties in four states with one prefecture.

Kaifeng City, located in the heart of the Central Plains, has a history as thick as the Yellow River embankment.

This day.

Shortly after Zhu Yunxi arrived in Lanyang County and borrowed the head of the county magistrate Cao Zhisheng to calm the people.

Several accompanying officials, escorted by a team of royal guards, quietly appeared outside Kaifeng Mansion.

Everyone on this trip did not wear official clothes, but dressed up as merchants. The officials were the merchants, and the royal guards were the caravan guards.

As for the carriages in the team, they really contained a lot of food.

Everyone stood beside the official road not far from the city gate, looking at the gate of Kaifeng City with frowns.

"Why can't we even see any victims?" A head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked in a low voice, frowning in confusion.

Someone also deduced and explained in a low voice.

"What if Kaifeng Prefecture arranges the victims elsewhere?"

"It's also possible that Kaifeng Prefecture has sent all the victims to work for relief."

The head of the Ministry of Personnel shook his head and looked at the other censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who was accompanying him.

Because in the early years, Zhan Hui, the former Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also served as the errand official of the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so in those years the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were very close and had a good relationship.

This origin has not been interrupted yet.

The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who was accompanying him frowned and looked around, then looked at the officers and soldiers standing on the city wall, checking the passing people and caravan soldiers and horses under the city wall, and couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

"This isn't right."

Several officials who were still wondering about the reason couldn't help but look over after hearing the sound.

The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate said in a low voice: "You have all seen the situation in Lanyang County when the six prefectures were hit by the disaster this time. What were the people like after the disaster? In addition to those who were cleared of silt, how many people did not have enough to eat?

After eating, they gathered outside the city and waited for the government to recruit people with work in exchange for relief."

Following the explanation from the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there was a sudden chuckle in the team.

Everyone finally discovered what was wrong with the problem.

Damn it, there are no victims in Kaifeng Fucheng, that’s the biggest thing wrong!

In such a huge city, there is not a single disaster victim in sight. What could be more wrong than this situation?

The people who came all the way to the outside of Kaifeng City in disguise finally reacted.

The head of the official department, who was dressed as a wealthy businessman, snorted coldly and turned his head to look at the royal guards in the team who were dressed as guards.

"Quietly, go to a few people to inquire about the news and see where the victims are outside Kaifeng Prefecture."

Several Jinyi guards immediately accepted the order and were about to hide themselves and leave the team.

However, at this time, under the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, which everyone was paying little attention to, a group of cavalry rushed out.

From a distance, shouts were heard.

"Come on, everyone!"

"Come on, everyone!"

"Kaifeng Mansion is late to greet you. Please forgive me, sir."

The shouts coming from under the city gate were full of enthusiasm and apology.

The head of the Ministry of Personnel frowned, turned around and hid his hands behind his back, pressing his hands on the Jin Yiwei who had already started to move forward.

The royal guards immediately stopped.

The few people behind the head of the staff frowned at the pair of people on horseback who came over, and started talking in low voices.

"We were exposed."

"How did they know we were coming?"

"There can be no mistakes in His Highness's entourage, so the problem can only be in Kaifeng Mansion."

"They've been waiting for us to come!"

After a few sentences of discussion, a result is presented to everyone.

The head of the Ministry of Personnel had already walked out.

Now that Kaifeng Mansion has discovered his identity, there is no need to be so shameless and pretend not to know.

The head of the Department of Personnel clasped his fists at the team that came straight towards him: "I am the head of the Department of Officials and Officials, and I wonder which yamen you are from in Kaifeng Prefecture."

The sound of the war horse's breath has reached the ears of the chief of staff.

At first glance, the sturdy war horse is a rarity that is rarely seen in the frontier army.

On horseback, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe and official uniform dismounted calmly, signaling to the officers behind him to be calm.

The middle-aged man threw away the reins in his hands, with a smile on his face, and walked up to the head of the Ministry of Personnel with his hands folded: "This official is the general magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion. I am late to welcome all the superior officials today. Please forgive me for your sins."

Listening to this man's voice, you can tell that the shout under the city gate just now came from him.

While the middle-aged man was smiling and apologizing, his eyes moved from the head of the Ministry of Personnel to the other accompanying officials behind him, and finally glanced at the group of royal guards who were secretly on guard.

The head of the Ministry of Personnel raised his hand and said: "It turns out to be Fang Tongpan, and the lower official is just the head of the Ministry of Personnel. How dare you forget your dignity in front of Tongpan."

The head of the Ministry of Personnel answered very carefully, and his eyes were always quietly observing the Kaifeng Prefecture General Judge Fang Gusalom across from him.

Fang Guxin, the general judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, laughed and waved his hand: "The person in charge is an official accompanying His Highness Taisun. Naturally, he can be regarded as an imperial envoy. Isn't that the Shangguan of Kaifeng Prefecture who we are waiting for?"

The head of the Ministry of Personnel frowned slightly and trembled a few times. He felt a little dissatisfied with Gu Xin's nonchalant remarks.

It's just that there is still a sense of affection on the face.

The head of the Ministry of Personnel said softly: "I wonder how Fang Tongpan knew that we were coming?"

Fang Guxin turned his eyes and said without thinking too much: "The whole Kaifeng Mansion has been looking forward to His Highness the Grand Sun for a long time, hoping that the imperial court will provide relief. Sir, don't look at the fact that there are still merchants in Kaifeng Mansion now. These are all sages from the countryside.

It’s just borrowed food.

Kaifeng Mansion has been waiting for the arrival of the superior officials every day. Today, they saw that the faces of the superior officials did not look like the locals of Kaifeng Prefecture, so the people from the government office came back to report. The lower officials knew that the superior officials did not want to show their official faces to others,

I am afraid of shocking the people of Kaifeng Mansion, but the lower officials still have to come to pick up the superior officials in person, so as to comply with the etiquette of Kaifeng Mansion."

Fang Guxin said it very tactfully.

But it made the head of the Ministry of Personnel feel more and more uneasy.

In just a few words, the Kaifeng Prefecture's official judge not only named the current difficulties in Kaifeng Prefecture, but also explained why they knew about the arrival of his group.

At present, it is at least a perfect explanation.

"May I ask Fang Tongpan, where have all the victims of the disaster in Kaifeng Prefecture gone?"

When the head of the Ministry of Personnel really didn't know what attitude to take to continue, another official accompanying him behind him had already spoken bluntly, looking closely at Fang Guxin, who had a smile on his face.

Fang Guxin was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said as if he was very surprised and puzzled: "If I go back to Shangguan, the victims of the disaster in my mansion naturally went to work. Didn't the imperial court ask us to provide relief with work to calm the people's hearts?

Well, this is a good thing. If the imperial court orders it, Kaifeng Mansion will naturally go all out to do it."

The accompanying officials who asked questions continued to press for questioning.

Behind Fang Guxin and others, another team approaching with bursts of steaming steam.

"Everyone give way! Everyone give way!"

"If you miss the royal palace's porridge delivery and starve the people, no one in Kaifeng Mansion will be able to live well!"

The person shouting in front of the team was very polite and polite.

When he got close and saw Fang Guxin, who had already looked over, his expression changed and he trotted over quickly.

"It turns out to be Fang Tongpan, the younger one deserves to die, the younger one deserves to die!"

Fang Guxin snorted coldly: "Are you trying to ruin the reputation of the palace? Giving porridge to the palace is just giving porridge. If you are so arrogant and domineering, do you want me to go to the palace and file a complaint?"

The man immediately bowed his head and apologized again and again: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

While talking, he raised his head several times to look at the chief of staff and others.

Fang Guxin seemed to be still angry in his heart, and still snorted: "These are all the envoys accompanying His Royal Highness the Emperor. They came to Kaifeng Mansion today to provide relief for the disaster. If you

If you act stupidly again, the sergeants will kill you!"

When the man heard this, his whole body was shocked.

He glanced at the chief of staff with frightened eyes, then knelt on the ground with a snap.

Both hands have already been slapped on his face.

"Damn the little ones!"
