Chapter 186 Earthquake in Central Shu

"The official's pulse condition is not good. If you can listen to me and stop the pill, and take medicine to regulate and detoxify, you can still live for more than ten years.

But if he refused to listen and insisted on continuing to take the pill, the consequences would be serious.

So you must know what to do, some things can not be done, but you have to take precautions. "Bai Mengjin is reminding Song Yucheng that the emperor's health is not good, so he should take precautions in advance.

"Yes, I know. I will also find an opportunity to persuade the official. It would be best to let him stop the elixir."

Song Yucheng felt a little heavy, the emperor really had nothing to say to him, he couldn't bear to see the emperor lose his life because of the pill.

"If you can't be persuaded, don't force it, after all, you are not father and son, so you still have to be scruples about many things.

The so-called planning depends on man and success depends on heaven, you and I will do our best. "Bai Mengjin couldn't help but comfort Song Yucheng.

While the two were chatting, Bai Wei gently knocked on the door outside the study, "His Royal Highness, Chen Duzhi is here, saying that the official has something important to ask for you."

Song Yucheng was stunned for a moment, he just came out of the palace not long ago, what's the big deal, he found the White House?
"Qi Niangzi, something may have happened in the court, I'll go and have a look first, and come to you when I have time."

Ever since he became the crown prince, Song Yucheng was so busy that he didn't even have time to get bored with Bai Mengjin for a while.

After Song Yucheng finished speaking, he got up and went out, Bai Mengjin inevitably followed, and met Chen Zhong in the main hall of the front yard.

"Your Highness is really in the White Mansion, hurry up, the officials are looking for you, let His Royal Highness enter the palace to discuss matters."

Chen Zhong was obviously very anxious. After seeing Song Yucheng and saluting hastily, he was about to leave.

"Chen Duzhi, what happened? So anxious?" Song Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and asked casually.

"Ah, it's the earth dragon in the middle of Shu who has turned around. It is said that the situation is very serious, and the people have lost countless lives.

Just now the messenger from Shuzhong sent the news to the palace, the officials were anxious when they saw it, and hurriedly called all the courtiers to discuss the matter, Your Highness, hurry back to the palace, this matter must not be delayed. "

Chen Zhong respected Song Yucheng very much, and there was no need to hide this matter, so Chen Zhong said it directly.

When Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin heard this, they were also dumbfounded. The dragon in the middle of Sichuan turned over?Very serious? "Liulang, it's urgent, you should hurry into the palace, don't delay."

The earth dragon turning over refers to an earthquake. In the era of underdeveloped science, people would think that there are dragons living underground. Once the earth dragon turns over, it will cause landslides and ground cracks, causing disasters.

And most of the time, once the earth dragon turns over, it will be interpreted as the emperor's fault, so the heaven will punish.

A new crown prince has been established in the court, and they are at war with the Jurchen. Now that the earth dragon has turned over, I am afraid that someone with a heart will deliberately interpret it and say that the crown prince has no virtue and is not qualified to be the crown prince. That's why God will warn.

Another point is that the border war is at a critical juncture. At this time, there is an earthquake in central Sichuan. Will someone use the earthquake as an excuse to obstruct the Northern Expedition?
All these had to be considered, that's why Bai Mengjin asked Song Yucheng to enter the palace quickly to control the direction of the matter.

Song Yucheng obviously had this in mind, "Okay, I'll go to the palace right now, don't worry, wait for my news."

After finishing speaking, he left the White Mansion with Chen Zhong, and rode straight to the palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials have been convened in the Hall of Qinzheng to discuss matters, and all the officials are about to quarrel about the earthquake in central Sichuan.

Sure enough, as Bai Mengjin thought, someone really impeached Song Yucheng, saying that Song Yucheng had no talent or virtue, and was not worthy of being a prince. The earth dragon in the middle of Shu turned over, which was a warning from heaven.

Of course, many people disagreed with this point of view, so everyone quarreled in the court.

"My lords, the earthquake is a natural phenomenon and has nothing to do with other people or things.

I know that there are many people in the court who are not convinced by me, but the most important thing right now is not to quarrel with these useless things, but to send people to rescue the disaster immediately. "

When Song Yucheng came in, those people were still arguing. The angry Song Yucheng spoke a lot louder than usual, but he calmed down these people all at once.

"Father, the earthquake in central Sichuan has caused heavy casualties among the people, the most important thing at this moment is disaster relief rather than quarrels.

After the earthquake, houses collapsed, roads were difficult to walk, and many people were trapped. The most important thing right now is to immediately send officials to Sichuan to check the disaster situation, collect food, medicinal materials, clothing and other daily necessities, and transport them to Sichuan as soon as possible.

After a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic, and enough doctors must be arranged to avoid the epidemic caused by the disaster. "

"Reconstruction after the disaster, appeasement of the victims, all kinds of things are in front of you, you don't think about it, but you are arguing here, what is the reason?"

Song Yucheng is really angry, what kind of bullshit officials are these?If something happens and you don't solve it, you will know how to talk about it one by one, and you can't find the right place to talk about it. Is it useful to spray it indiscriminately?

What Song Yucheng said made all the officials in the court dumbfounded.

According to past examples, no matter where a disaster occurs, it is the local officials who are responsible, and the way to deal with it is very simple.

The dead were buried, and the young and strong living were all incorporated into the Xiang army and entered the barracks to receive their salary. The old, weak and sick remained at home and it was over. How could there be such tedious things as relief for the victims and post-disaster reconstruction?

The Great Zhao Dynasty has always dealt with it in this way, and no one thinks it is wrong. They would never think of other ways to deal with it.

But is this really the most reasonable way to deal with it?Those young men were recruited into the Xiang army, but their combat effectiveness was low, and they could not go to the battlefield at all, but the imperial court had to allocate a large sum of money to support them.Isn't this the main reason why one of the three redundant soldiers is redundant?

Besides, how many people are willing to leave their hometowns to become the leading soldiers?As long as there is a way out, who doesn't want to stay in their hometown?
The young and strong were taken away, leaving the old and weak, women and children, what did they do for a living?If no one cultivates the land, it can only be barren, and then it will be annexed by those big landowners.

As more and more people became landless, these people could only depend on the big landlords and become tenants to be exploited.As a result, land annexation has become more and more serious.

Central Shu is the land of abundance, a place of abundance and prosperity, and it is also a place of refuge for the Central Plains Dynasty every time a catastrophe occurs.

The Sichuan-Shaanxi gateway is also a checkpoint for defending against foreign invasion, and the southwest barrier of the Central Plains.

If the people are displaced and desolate due to the earthquake disaster, it is the fault of those in power.

In the past, Song Yucheng was just an idle son of the clan. He had no control over the government and had no right to speak.

Now that he is the crown prince, the prince of the country, and the future emperor, at this time, he must not sit idly by.

He must find a way to reverse the inherent concepts, change the court, and change the world. Mediocrity is not his style. If he wants to do it, he must do his best.

"Father, if the father trusts the minister in this matter, the minister please go to Sichuan to take charge of the disaster relief and resettlement matters."

Song Yucheng knew that other officials would not be happy to arrange this matter, and he would not rest assured.

He simply took the initiative to ask for Ying, and he went to sit in the middle of Shu himself. He must settle the people in the middle of Shu so that they can have a stable life after the disaster.
