"Who is this person?”
" I don't know him. I've never seen him before…"
There were also well-informed people." This person is called Li Jing, the nephew of Han Qinhu from Shangzhu Kingdom. His Majesty granted him a favor yesterday and promoted him to the rank of General of the Left Military Guard, Rank Four.”
In the crowd, only Yang Su frowned.
Of course, he knew Li Jing. It was this guy who had kidnapped his maid, Zhang Hongfu.
Yang Su did not mind. She was just a maid.
Even though Li Jing had been promoted to a general of the Tiger Troop, he was still nothing in front of him.
However, for the sake of Han Qinhu of Shangzhu Kingdom, he didn't want to argue with him.
Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction when he heard Li Jing's answer.
This was the correct way to deal with sudden disasters.
Lantian County was going to have an earthquake the next day. Who would have the time to set up an altar to worship the heavens and pray for blessings? It was simply nonsense.
"Li Jing is right. The most important thing now is to move the thousands of residents out of Lantian County as soon as possible."”
It was actually adopted by His Majesty?
The court officials were stunned. Was His Majesty serious?
"Your Majesty, isn't this a little inappropriate?" Cui Junsu stepped forward and asked. It was not a small matter to move thousands of residents out. Wasn't this too disturbing to the residents?”
"Lord Cui, did you not understand His Majesty's words?" Guo Yan glared at him and shouted angrily. There's going to be an earthquake tomorrow. When the house collapses, people will die. Under such circumstances, you're still worried about disturbing the people. You're really old and muddle-headed!”
Cui Junsu was so angry that her eyes were wide open." Who said there would be an earthquake tomorrow? It's just a dream of His Majesty." How could it be child's play to disturb thousands of people?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Junsu knew that she had misspoken.
Sure enough, Yang Guang narrowed his eyes and stared at Cui Jun Su,""Minister Cui, do you mean that I am talking nonsense?”
Cui Junsu was also a tough nut to crack. He gritted his teeth and said,"I don't dare to. I'm just stating the facts. It's really questionable to say that Lantian County is going to have an earthquake based on a dream!”
Many court officials secretly gave Cui Junsu a thumbs up.
At the same time, she was worried for him.
He was not afraid that Yang Guang would punish him for contradicting him in public.
Who knew that Yang Guang laughed,"In the end, Minister Cui still doesn't believe my words. Who else?" Is there anyone who still doubts what Zhen said?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yun stood up again.
"This old official also believes that the earthquake in Lantian County is still open to discussion.”
"Is there anyone else?"
After waiting for a long time, no one stood up.
Yang Guang said with a smile that was not a smile," It seems that only the two beloved ministers don't believe my words. Since that's the case, do you dare to make a bet with me?"”
Cui Junsu and Pei Yun raised their heads at the same time."What do you want to bet on, Your Majesty?"
"If there's no earthquake in Lantian County tomorrow, I will issue a decree to punish myself and announce it to the world," Yang Guang said coldly.”
Everyone gasped when they heard this.
"You want to issue an edict to punish yourself and even announce it to the world?”
This was definitely a very serious punishment for an emperor.
"If there really is an earthquake in Lantian County tomorrow, then the Cui and Pei families will be responsible for all the costs of rebuilding Lantian County. The standard of post-disaster reconstruction will be decided by Minister of Works Yuwen Kai!”
He had already said so.
His Majesty was even willing to take responsibility for his crimes, so how could Cui Junsu and Pei Xi dare to say no.
Moreover, the two of them did not think that there would really be an earthquake in Lantian County tomorrow.
Even the imperial court's Grand Scribe, who specialized in observing astronomical phenomena, might not be able to accurately measure it, let alone an Emperor's dream.
The two of them had already asked Grand Scribe Yuan Chong.
Yuan Chong was at a loss. He had no idea that an earthquake was going to happen.
Therefore, this was simply a farce.
Cui Junsu and Pei Yun said at the same time," Let's do as Your Majesty says. If there really is an earthquake in Lantian County tomorrow, our two families will cover all the expenses for the post-disaster reconstruction of Lantian County."”
Yang Guang laughed." Don't joke around. It's a deal then."”
"General Li Jing, listen up!"
Li Jing took a step forward.”
Yang Guang immediately issued an order." I order you to bring 6,000 soldiers of the Left Military Guards and rush to Lantian County. Before nightfall, you must move all the residents in the city to a wide area outside the city.”
"Yes!"
"Where is the Minister of Civil Affairs, Wei Chong?"
"This old subject listens to the decree…" Wei Chong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, immediately stepped forward.
"I order you to immediately prepare tents that can accommodate thousands of people. Before nightfall, take the empty space outside Lantian County City and complete the construction.”
"In addition, the porridge stall for the porridge must be ready before dark.”
"When the time comes, if one of the victims in Lantian County suffers from cold and hunger, I will hold you responsible!”
"Yes, old minister…" Wei Chong's spirit turned cold.
Yang Guang's gaze fell on Gao Wei.""Gao Wei, you are very experienced. Follow me to the scene and assist the Minister of Civil Affairs Wei Chong to check and fill in the gaps.”
"If anything happens, you can handle it on behalf of me. No mistakes can be made!”
"I accept your decree…" Gao Wei replied without hesitation.
Yang Guang's series of orders left all the officials in the court dumbstruck.
His Majesty was serious!
"The disaster relief matter is extremely urgent. If anyone drags me down at the critical moment, I will definitely destroy their entire family.”
All the officials in the court responded.
Li Jing had already rushed out. His mission was also very urgent.
It wasn't easy to move thousands of households in Lantian County, or more than 10,000 people, out of the city in a day.
"Li Jing, Li Jing, is six thousand enough?" Guo Yan caught up, panting. If it's not enough, bring some of our Imperial Guards.”
Li Jing said solemnly," Great General, you can't. The imperial guards have a heavy responsibility to protect the capital. You can't mobilize them easily!"”
"Alright then," Guo Yan said helplessly,"If there's anything that can't be solved, let me know as soon as possible."”
"Thank you!"
The Minister of Civil Affairs, Wei Chong, did not dare to be negligent.
Regardless of whether there would be an earthquake in Lantian County tomorrow, he had to do it.
He had already seen the imperial edict.
He would really exterminate his entire family!
