    Several ministers discussed each other word by word, and they figured out the first step of disaster relief.

    Emperor Jinghe was happy to hear this and said smoothly: "Well, let Ge Honglian handle this matter entirely!"

    When the ministers heard this, most of them were so frightened that their faces changed color.

    Cao Yi, such a steady prime minister, couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, please think twice. We cannot let Ge Honglian do this. Please choose someone else!"

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I second the proposal!" Wang Feiteng, the Minister of Revenue, also said quickly.

    "I second the proposal!" Vice Prime Minister Nangong Ji also frowned.

    Not only them, but Feng Yuqiang, who has always been resolute and courageous, also said: "Your Majesty, I also think that the selection should be more cautious."

    ? Okay.

    The emperor proposed a candidate, but many people opposed it.

    It¡¯s really a bit embarrassing!

    At first glance, you may still think that the person proposed by the emperor is unreliable?

    of course not!

    Ge Honglian, whose real name is Ge Songdao and whose courtesy name is Honglian, is in his forties.

    At the age of nineteen, he won the second place in the imperial examination that year, a solid second place.

    At the age of twenty-four, Ge Songdao could have entered the Sixth Department directly from the Hanlin Academy, but the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy at that time appreciated him very much and wanted to give him more grassroots training, so he asked the emperor for a post from the prefect of Luodian, Guizhou.  Location.

    The prefect of Luodian is from the fourth rank, but taking charge of a piece of land and governing more than 200,000 people is a good starting point.

    "As long as he can survive for five or six years and make some achievements, he will be promoted step by step, and it will be more than enough for him to return to the capital around the age of forty and become a minister of the Sixth Department.

    When he went to Luodian, the officials commented that he had a reserved personality and gentle behavior. This comment was also an important reason why he was sent to Guizhou, a place with a large number of native people, to be the prefect.

    But I never expected it.

    The second year after Ge Songdao went to Luodian, he encountered a natural disaster. The natives were incited and rushed directly into the city of Luodian, burning, killing and looting.

    Ge Songdao tried his best and led two thousand garrison troops and government officials to repel the attack of the natives and drove them out, but what was left behind was a devastated Luodian city.

    What made him most devastated was that two days before the rebellion, his old father and mother, along with his wife and newborn son, came to Luodian to visit him.

    As a result, we encountered this rebellion. Ge Songdao¡¯s parents, wife and children were all killed in the rebellion.

    Since then, Ge Songdao, who was "introverted and gentle", died.

    "It was replaced by another Ge Songdao.

    Since that day, in addition to taking care of government affairs, Ge Songdao devoted himself to the matter of annihilating the Jieao native tribe.

    In this year, Ge Songdao personally led the garrison and recruited civilian warriors to massacre five chieftain tribes and kill 4,800 men. All women and children moved to the place designated by the government. The women married Han people and their children followed.  His father's surname is his, and he can only learn Dakang dialect.

    In the third year, seven chieftain tribes were slaughtered and 7,900 men were killed. The women and children suffered the same fate as above.

    In the fourth year, Ge Songdao was promoted to the prefect of Zunyi. In the same year, he massacred 11 chieftain tribes and killed 13,000 men. The women and children suffered the same fate as above.

    In the fifth year, twelve chieftain tribes were slaughtered and 18,000 men were killed. The women and children suffered the same fate.

    In the sixth year, because the two state capitals were in good governance, stable and peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, Ge Songdao was once again promoted to governor of Guizhou.

    In the first two years after taking office as governor of Guizhou, Ge Songdao was even more cold-blooded. He massacred 33 chieftain tribes in one go, beheading 54,000 men, and the women and children suffered the same fate.

    After five consecutive years of relentless slaughter, most of the rebellious chieftains in Guizhou were wiped out, and many fled to Nanzhao. The remaining chieftain tribes totaled less than twenty.

    These twenty chieftain tribesmen were so frightened that they knelt down. All the usually unruly ones were slaughtered. They were all relatively gentle, and they knelt down directly from then on.

    Not only can the Han people go to them to do business freely, but they can also collect medicines and plant land, and no one dares to stop them.

    If you stop it, you will be exterminated.

    Even the ignorant and barbaric chieftains have no doubt about the cold-blooded cruelty of Ge Songdao, a lunatic.

    It¡¯s not that there were no chieftains who went to the court to complain, and it¡¯s not that there weren¡¯t those moral saints who were dissatisfied, but thisOnly deputy prime ministers of the second rank and prime ministers of the first rank are eligible.

    It is impossible for Prime Minister Cao Yi to leave the court, so there will only be deputy prime ministers of the second rank.

    Nangong Ji, deputy prime minister, will be sixty-one soon and will definitely not be able to go, so the remaining candidates are Ma Haoqiu and Zhong Chang.

    In addition, the prince has a transcendent status and has experience in governing the two lakes area, so he can also go.

    Hearing this, Zhong Chang stood up without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the prince has been busy for several months and will not return to Beijing until November. It will probably take another three or four months to go to the southwest, so let him rest for the time being.  Rest and let Wei Chen go!"

    Emperor Jinghe asked his ministers, "What do you think?"

    "It's okay, Mr. Zhong."

    "very good."

    "Wei Chen agrees."

    A group of people expressed their agreement.

    It goes without saying that Zhong Chang¡¯s identity and ability are natural. He often travels outside, is familiar with the place, and is not stable in his dealings. Going to the southwest is a good choice.

    As the deputy prime minister, he will not encounter any pushback from the court on various matters, and will receive more help.

    Sending the deputy prime minister personally to provide disaster relief will also let the people in the three southwestern provinces know that the court attaches great importance to them, and they will feel more at ease.

    Under the disaster situation, Emperor Jinghe did not hesitate much, "Well, without further ado, Qinggu, after you have coordinated well, take the people and set off as soon as possible!"

    "According to the order!"

    Zhong Chang bowed down seriously and said, "I will do my best to live up to His Majesty's expectations."

    "Serious words, serious words." The emperor smiled slightly and said, "You all must be well, and the world will be better. Take care of your health when you go, and don't be too tired. The imperial court cannot be without you."

    "I obey the decree, and I thank you for your kindness!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
