Seeing Liu Xiu's look, Huang Hu knew there must be something wrong and immediately asked, "king, what's the matter?"

Liu xiudao: "Herald, turn around and return to Xiangyang."

"Ah

Huang Hu exclaimed, his face full of amazement.

Return to Xiangyang immediately?

They want to inspect the whole Chu region.

This just went to Nanyang County, even Jingzhou did not go out, is about to return.

Liu Xiu said: "Yangzhou has been hit by floods once in a hundred years and torrential rains day after night, which have affected countless people. The incident happened suddenly and had to be dealt with. "

After hearing this, Huang Hu looked solemn.

Even though he was only a general in the army, he knew the consequences of this incident.

When Fazheng and Pang Tong heard this, they also looked solemn.

The current situation is quite serious. We must rush back immediately.

Turn the team around and we'll be back.

After a long walk, Liu Xiu ordered Huang Hu to stop.

It's too slow to drive by coach.

According to the current speed to go back, I don't know the monkey can return to Xiangyang.

When I came out, I was on my way with a playful attitude, so I didn't worry, and I didn't feel that time had passed, so I had already arrived in Nanyang County. But now I'm in a hurry to go back, but I want to go back to Xiangyang in a flash.

Liu Xiu asked Huang Hu to leave a team of soldiers, escorted Huang Yueying's four daughters back to Xiangyang by Sha Moke, and then dressed lightly.

He only took shamoko, Huanghu, Fazheng, pangtong and others to drive on.

Along the way, a few people had little rest.

Back in Xiangyang, it was late September.

As soon as Liu Xiu returned to the palace, he summoned Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao and others.

Looking at the crowd, Liu xiudao said, "tell me, what's the situation like now?"

Kuai Liang, as the head of the civil service, said solemnly: "report to the king, the coastal areas of Wujun and Kuaiji counties in Yangzhou have been hit by the storm. According to the news, it is said that the real dragon absorbed water. It's as if there are dragons absorbing water in the sky, and there are two dragons absorbing water in the air. "

When it comes to this, people's faces are serious.

It's not a good thing that a dragon absorbs water.

Where we passed, dark clouds gathered and floods continued.

Kuai Liang said: "king, the Confucian scholars have suggested that this is the result of years of war. Please postpone the war and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth."

After listening to this, Liu Xiu sneered twice.

You don't know what a dragon is?

But Liu Xiu knew.

It's just a tornado. It's a natural phenomenon.

Liu Xiu doesn't believe in the theory that ghosts and gods are involved.

The only consideration is the relief of the people.

Liu xiudao: "the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth will be considered later. What we need to do now is to allocate food for disaster relief, pacify the people and stabilize the situation. This is the top priority. "

Kuai Liang said: "we are already doing it. In order to save time, all the grain and materials are transported by water, moving eastward along the Yangtze River and unloading grain in Wujun county to appease the people."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "go all out."

"Here it is

They all nodded and answered.

Liu xiudao said: "Wu County and Kuaiji county have suffered severe disasters. I intend to go to Wu county to have a look and appease the people."

"No, your majesty."

Kuai Liang didn't even think about it, but he denied it directly.

Kuai Liang said: "king, today's Wujun and Kuaiji are still in danger. The flood continues. If you encounter problems, the impact will be very big. Therefore, the old minister suggested that the king should remain in the middle of Xiangyang to make better arrangements.

Kuai Liang disagreed with Liu Xiu's going to the front line.

It's too dangerous.

In the face of natural disasters, manpower is too weak.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, Deng Zhan's voice came from outside the hall.

Liu Xiu said, "come in!"

Deng Zhan enters the hall and salutes Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said, "what's the matter?"

Deng Zhan replied, "Your Majesty, I just received the news from Yangzhou. In many places where the flood spread in Yangzhou, rumors began to spread that the flood in Yangzhou was caused by the king's army, which angered the Dragon Lord. "

"What's more, he slandered the king and intended to usurp the Han Dynasty, so heaven would bring disaster."

"King, the royal guards have arrested a group of people."

"These people come from the north."

Deng Zhan said solemnly: "once Yangzhou was hit by the flood, Cao Cao also sent someone to help. Now the people in Yangzhou are boiling with enthusiasm. It's all a mess. "

After hearing this, Liu Xiu had a cold look in his eyes.

At this time, Cao Cao even stepped in.Liu Xiu looked at Kuai Liang and said, "Kuai Qing, the situation in Yangzhou is boiling. After incitement, I'm afraid there will be chaos. "

"At this time, if I don't go, the consequences will be more serious."

"And the more repressive it is, the worse the situation is."

"As the king of the state of Chu, only by going to Yangzhou can we completely stabilize people's hearts."

Liu Xiu once again put forward that Kuai Liang had nothing to say.

Only when Liu Xiu goes can the situation be stabilized.

Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "Deng Zhan, let the royal guards spread the message in Yangzhou immediately. I will personally lead the grain to Yangzhou to relieve the disaster and pacify the people."

"Here it is

Deng Zhan left in a hurry.

Liu Xiu also discussed with Kuai Liang, Jia Xu and others, and determined the next disaster relief policy, so that many talents would retire.

Jia Xu stayed and gave Liu Xiu the imperial edict he had given him before.

Then Jia Yu left.

Liu Xiu accepted the imperial edict, and after a short time, he left the palace and went straight to the lumen Academy. Although we are anxious to go to Yangzhou for disaster relief, we need to deal with the affairs of lumen Academy.

When Liu Xiu arrived, pound was also in his study.

Seeing Liu Xiu, Pang Degong said, "my Lord, I already know about lumen Academy in Wan county. I have already arranged for people to check the lumen Academy in each county and county, and seriously rectify it. "

Liu Xiu nodded.

There is something wrong with lumen academy, and Lord pound will certainly rectify it.

It's just like this no matter how we rectify it.

Treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Liu Xiu said, "teacher, I have some ideas about the Academy."

"What do you think?"

Liu Xiu replied: "I want to split the lumen Academy. The Academy where the county level government is located is still the same. However, all the academies at the county level are managed by each county. In addition, the county government is allowed to set up academies. "

Pound was a little surprised.

Once the local government is allowed to set up academies, the dominant situation of lumen academy will change little by little.

In particular, lumen academy is only responsible for the county level, which has been virtually weakened.

Liu Xiu said: "further on, the Academy will be managed separately. At the county level, it should be managed by the county and the States, rather than by the lumen Academy in Xiangyang. "

After listening, pound thought carefully.

After thinking about Liu Xiu's proposal, he understood it.

This is to weaken the power of lumen Academy.

However, each county was allowed to set up academies, and more academies could be set up, so that more taxis could read and read.

Mr. pound nodded and said, "yes, the king's arrangement is."

Pound had no objection to Liu Xiu's arrangement.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "thank you for your understanding. It's really shocking. If it goes on like this, lumen academy will be destroyed. "

Pound nodded.

When Liu Xiu had dealt with the matter properly, he left.

After returning to the palace, Liu Xiu directly ordered the counties to set up academies.

This order is in the name of trial implementation.

Try it first.

Liu Xiu can't predict what will happen in the end, so he tries to implement it first.

When all the affairs of the Academy were arranged properly, Liu Xiu did not delay any more. He took Huang Hu, FA Zheng, Pang Tong, and an army to go eastward with the relief food.
