Chapter 99 Acting wildly

In the early autumn of July, heavy rain fell across all states in Henan, and the rain and fog never stopped.

Qingzhou, Qijun, Zhua County.

County resident Huang Asi braved the wind and rain to reinforce the Yellow River embankment with his fellow villagers. They made more than ten trips back and forth. He could no longer tell whether it was sweat or rain on his back.

Behind you is the farmland. In another month, the ears of millet will mature.

Including Huang Asi, every farmer working on the embankment had only one thought: they must not let the flood ruin a year's harvest.

However, their efforts were in vain in the face of rising water levels.

"The water is coming up!"

"Hurry up! The river bank is probably going to collapse!"

Shouts came and went, and everyone was frightened. Huang Asi hurriedly followed the flow of people and fled the embankment.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a loud noise, and the river burst its banks and surged out, seemingly capable of destroying the world.

His ears were filled with cries, and Huang Ahsi's mind went blank.

The Yellow River overflowed, causing floods in several states in Henan. The river flooded acres of fields, killed crops, and destroyed houses. Countless people were displaced. Memorials requesting relief flowed to Daxing City like snowflakes, and hungry people were crying for food.

Daxing City, Daxing Palace, Daxing Hall.

Yang Jian summoned Gao Jun, Su Wei, Yang Su, and Yu Qingze to discuss who should go to Guandong to relieve the victims and how much corn should be allocated.

Post-disaster relief has always been an issue that cannot be ignored. Poor people are usually weak and can be bullied, but when they are on the verge of life and death, they will never be intimidated by the punishment of treason, but will use their own methods to find a way out.

Therefore, it is even more important to select candidates to lead disaster relief. If the person appointed is incompetent, the consequences will be disastrous.

Yang Jian's original preference was to have Su Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, patrol for disaster relief, but before he expressed his inner thoughts to the public, Yang Su, the imperial censor, recommended a more suitable candidate.

That person had been in charge of military logistics several times and had never made any mistakes.

He also has a reputation of being honest, so there is no need to worry about him enriching his own pockets and greedy for money and food for disaster relief.

The most important thing is that this person is now enjoying his married life and is free at home.

Yang Jian thought to himself that it was time for his son-in-law to help.

Wucheng Gongfu, backyard garden.

"Husband, I am here!"

Miao Rong hid behind the tree and shouted to Cui Che.

The blindfolded Cui Che was about to catch someone when he heard Yuwen Eying's voice behind him:

"Grandpa, come and catch your daughter!"

Yuwen Eying has moved in for more than ten days. As Cui Che said, after getting acquainted with her, she began to think of "father" and "grandpa".

Cui Che turned around and was patted on the shoulder again. It turned out that Yuchi Chifan had been hiding behind him and followed him step by step.

Mu Xieli covered his mouth and smiled:

"Husband, it was sister Yuchi who was teasing you just now."

Cui Che said angrily:

"You haven't learned this yet. Don't let me catch you today, otherwise you will have to take care of me."

Yang Lihua was reserved as a lady and did not join in the fun, but she could not help but laugh while sitting in the pavilion.

The laughter of Yingying and Yanyan could not be heard endlessly. Cui Che reached out and groped around, trying to catch one of them.

Suddenly, the garden became quiet. Cui Che did not think about the reason. He heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around and hugged the man. He estimated the height and it was definitely not Yuwen Eying, so Cui Che smiled and said:

"Let me catch you. Come on, let me kiss you."

Before he even put his mouth together, the silk handkerchief over his eyes was pulled off. Cui Che saw clearly the appearance of the person in his arms and was frightened to death.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Cui Che quickly let go of Yang Jian, bowed to the ground and said:

"I will be punished by death if I fail to behave in front of you!"

"Okay, don't knock anymore, get up."

Yang Jian admitted that he was feeling sad, and he also wanted to find some beauties to play with, but when he thought of his fierce wife at home looking like this, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.

Previously, Yang Su recommended Cui Che to provide disaster relief, and was immediately supported by Gao Jun, Su Wei, and Yu Qingze. Cui Che was originally supposed to be summoned into the palace, but Yang Jian came to Cui Che's house himself and took the opportunity to meet him.

Meet my daughter.

Unexpectedly, I witnessed Cui Che's happiness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your leniency!"

Cui Che quickly stood up, but before he could feel relieved, he heard Yang Jian reprimand him again:

"As an official of the imperial court, how unbecoming it is to play at home all day long! This time several states in Henan were hit by disasters, so Qin Dong went out to provide relief. If there is any mistake, he will be punished for both offenses and will be punished for the two crimes!"

Cui Che's heart trembled when he heard this. The matter was so important that he naturally did not dare to be careless:

"I will live up to your majesty's trust, but I ask your majesty to respond to my request."

"What's the matter?"

"But if there are people who are greedy for disaster relief money and food, Xu Chen will kill them first and then report them!"

Cui Che bowed and asked.

"I allow you to do this, but you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. If it is later found out that the deceased is innocent, I will not give you mercy!"

Yang Jian's attitude towards corruption needs no elaboration, and embezzlement of money and food for disaster relief is an act that he cannot tolerate.

Normally, accepting bribes is a matter of moral integrity, and handing out money and food for disaster relief may seriously trigger a civil uprising. When it comes to dealing with such people, Yang Jian and Cui Che naturally stand on the same side.

"I sincerely obey your Majesty's teachings!"

After seeing Yang Jian off together with Yang Lihua, Cui Che turned around and complained:

"The Supreme One came to visit, why didn't you give me a warning?"

"My father told me to be silent. How can I speak? Besides, who would have thought that my husband would be so dissolute."

Yang Lihua recalled the scene when Cui Che was about to kiss Yang Jian. Even though she was as dignified as she was, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.

Cui Che was extremely angry. If he didn't punish her severely today, how could he be the head of the family in the future?

So he pulled Yang Lihua back into the room, closed the door, and forced Yang Lihua to simulate a courtroom with him on the grounds that he was about to go east for inspection and people might complain about their grievances.

But Yang Lihua was full of doubts, and she really couldn't figure out what Cui Che wrote and directed about the drama of a traitor bullying an enemy's wife, and what it had to do with his mock trial of a case and making decisions for the people.

With one hand covering her butt that was red from being slapped by Cui Che, Yang Lihua buried her head in the quilt and said in a loud voice:

"If my husband leaks what happened today, I will die."

Cui Che also knew that with such boudoir fun, when the two of them were alone, Yang Lihua could still cooperate with him under his soft touch.

But if outsiders knew about it, given Yang Lihua's temperament, she would really seek death and survival.

After finally comforting Yang Lihua and letting her pull her head out of the quilt, Cui Che had a new idea.

There were only the couple in the house, and Cui Che no longer had any scruples. He talked about Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong's kindness to him, and then hesitantly said:

"The Zhou Dynasty owes me a great favor. From now on, if you and I are to be alone as husband and wife, we might as well act like the Queen Mother."

Yang Lihua still didn't know what he was planning.

Yes, before marrying Cui Che, she had always regarded herself as the Queen Mother even after the death of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. But now that she had accepted the identity of the Sui Princess, how could she want to play shameful games with Cui Che again.

"Queen Mother, you should just obey Wei Chen."
