"You're crazy!"

In Huainan disaster relief, the adults in the court have not yet made a decision.

How to provide relief, who to send, where the money comes from? Whether the prefectures near Huainan will accept disaster victims, and there is no constitution. Because of the appreciation of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Cui Yangang became a "intern" of the Ministry of Revenue. The court wanted to send people to provide relief, but Cui Yan was not the turn of Cui Yan... No, a small head of the Ministry of Revenue like Cui Yan can go, and the disaster relief officials also need assistants.

But why did Cui Yan go?

It’s right to ask for wealth and honor in danger. Huainan disaster relief is too dangerous. The big guys in the court don’t want to go. If you don’t make any contribution, you can easily lose your life. You have studied hard for many years before becoming an official. It’s better to be promoted slowly than to lose your life!

Cui Yan took a few deep breaths before telling the story of his father's halfway to Huainan.

"My mother said he wanted money but he was not that stupid. But it was too dangerous to go to Huainan at this time, and he had another chance... Cheng Qing, you must help me with this matter, brother, please!"

Cheng Qing also felt that Mr. Cui was not that stupid.

My son passed the Jinshi and became an official. The good days that Mr. Cui had always dreamed of have just begun. How could he not think about going to Huainan to commit suicide?

But Cui Yan's concerns make sense. Mr. Cui may have underestimated the severity of the drought in Huainan. If the disaster-stricken people have no food, they will become refugees. If the refugees are not appeased, they will evolve into "mobs"... The mobs not only want to survive, but also have to vent their dissatisfaction. The laws of the court are not binding on the mobs. They are afraid of officials and rich gentry on weekdays, and they want to kill all the officials and rich gentry when they are desperate.

Blame, loot, kill people.

Without order, all kinds of crimes will arise.

Mr. Cui, who brought a lot of money to Huainan, was simply a fat sheep with golden light. Although Mr. Cui also brought some servants to guard him, he did not play much role when he met a large number of refugees!

Mr. Cui stepped into danger on his own, no wonder Cui Yan was in a hurry to go to Huainan.

Although Cui Yan is just a small head of the Ministry of Revenue, once he follows the official who goes to Huainan to provide disaster relief, he will be slandered and mobilizes the power of the government. If he is lucky, he can save Mr. Cui back.

Cui Yan came to Cheng Qing for help because he was not sure that he would be able to do this by relying solely on Cui Yan himself.

He is willing to take risks, but it depends on whether he is qualified.

Unless the Minister of Revenue who appreciates Cui Yan is willing to go to disaster relief, the possibility of Cui Yan joining is very small. The people above will not send new officials to the officialdom of the current department. They are all raw melon seeds with no practical experience. Going to Huainan is a mess!

Cui Yan wants to say that he has the ability, but someone has to believe him.

In contrast, Cheng Qing’s path is much wider.

Cheng Qing can't help, Meng Huaijin may be able to help. In addition to Meng Huaijin, there are also Minister Zhang, Lord Mei, and Master Cheng Liu... Cheng Qing went to find them, which is definitely better than Cui Yan's!

"You go back first, I'll go find out the news first."

The first thing Cheng Qing thought of was not Meng Huaijin and Master Cheng Liu, but Lord Mei.

Lord Mei is not only a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but also joined the cabinet. Lord Mei should know the arrangements of the cabinet bosses best.

If Lord Mei’s face is not good, Cheng Qing can only go to Cheng Gui, but I don’t know how much the Chief Guard Gao valued Cheng Gui, his grandson-in-law.

Others avoid disaster relief in Huainan, and Cui Yan wished he could get money to join the disaster relief team.

Cheng Qing went directly to Mei's mansion to find Lord Mei, but unexpectedly, Tan Jingya was there too. It seemed that he had arrived a while ago than Cheng Qing. Tan Jingya was talking about the disaster relief in Huainan.

Cheng Qing and Tan Jingya have worked together for several months, and their relationship is neither good nor bad. Tan Jingya is more than ten years older than her and cannot be said to go together. Cheng Qing was promoted quickly and became a lecturer. Tan Jingya was respectful to her and was not intimate enough.

Tan Jingya is just like his articles, and he is stable. Cheng Qing has never seen Tan Jingya look so impatient.

"Cheng Qing, are you here for the disaster relief in Huainan?"

Lord Mei was straightforward.

Cheng Qing nodded, "The disaster in Huainan is serious, and the court has been unable to make a decision to provide disaster relief. The students are worried that the victims in Huainan will mutiny."

Lord Mei sneered, "It makes sense for your concern. Today, the news sent by Eight Hundred Miles in a hurry is lost. The mob rushed into the yamen, grabbed the prefect of Haozhou, hung him on the city wall, and then snatched all the granaries of Haozhou!"

Has Haozhou been lost?

Haozhou is the place where the Xiao royal family is located. There are troops in the ancestral tomb. Haozhou's military defense capabilities are absolutely not weak. Even the prefect of Haozhou was caught and killed by the mob. What a chaos there is!

The situation was worse than Cheng Qing thought. The government and the people didn't know about this news. The eight hundred miles of rush were handed directly to the imperial front. The emperor threw the memorial to the cabinet again. Long Yan was furious and asked the cabinet to take out a charter and drag it on. The royal family's ancestral tomb would almost be dug up.

Tan Jingya is braver than Cheng Qing. He came to find Mrs. Mei with the same plan as Cui Yan, and wanted to go to Huainan.

Lord Mei didn't agree, so Cheng Qing came.

Master Mei asked Cheng Qing if he wanted to go to Huainan too. Cheng Qing shook his head, "Students were afraid that they would not be able to quell the Huainan Rebellion, which would delay the disaster."

Lord Mei did not scold Cheng Qing for being greedy for life and fear of death, but instead taught Tan Jingya a lesson:

"Did you hear that? This is a self-aware approach. The situation in Huainan requires a minister with enough ability and courage to stabilize it!"

Tan Jingya is not the second-tier student in the current academic field, and it is difficult to convince the public after going to Huainan.

Cheng Qing’s title of “Six Yuan Di” is quite intimidating, but he is too young, so Lord Mei also disagrees.

Master Mei did not expect that he had just finished educating Tan Jingya, and Cheng Qing added: "... Although students are not capable enough to take on major responsibilities, if the court needs students to go to Huainan, the students will never refuse. If they are not the commander, they can become an official."

Lord Mei was so angry that she stared at him, too lazy to be with Tan Jingya, and Cheng Qing wasted his saliva and directly issued an order to expel guests.

He drove both of them away, and Lord Mei was still angry. Mrs. Mei brought a bowl of stewed soup off the heat, "Don't be angry. You two students want to go to Huainan, at least you can take on the job. Whether you can do it well is one thing, and whether you are willing to do it is another. How dangerous is Huainan? Only Cheng Qing and others who have just entered the government are willing to take risks."

It is better to have a heart than not.

The people in Huainan are now living in dire straits. If the court does not provide any relief, more and more people who cannot survive will join the mob team.

Lord Mei hurried into the palace before she even finished the stewing soup.

Cheng Qing hit a nail in Lord Mei and was about to find Master Cheng Liu, so the palace asked her to enter the palace as well.

The cabinet ministers gathered together, with the eldest prince, the second prince and the fifth prince all present, the fifth prince knelt on the ground, and the eldest prince looked at the fifth prince with a look that he wanted to eat people.

"I have met the emperor--"
