Chapter 1092: Supporting Brother-in-law (1)

After this incident, how many people were left in the Barren Capital?

All the officials were worried.

The messenger’s face turned pale and he took a deep breath. “”Originally, there were only 31,000 soldiers in Huangdu. Most of them are the descendants of sinners, and some of them are exiled sinners.”

“After the Salvation Palace expelled the evil, the surrounding commoners rushed over. At one point, it reached nearly 100,000 people.”

“Last night…Last night…”

The messenger took a deep breath. “Your Majesty, I’m afraid only 10 – 20% of the people in Huangdu can stay. The entire city is empty.” It also collapsed.

The commoners had nowhere to go and suffered heavy losses.

One or two out of ten, only twenty to thirty thousand would be left, right?

Lu Huaijiang closed her eyes gently. ” Fang Ruye, listen up. I order you to bring 30,000 troops, rations, and a group of imperial physicians to the Barren Capital. ” We must stabilize the emotions of the victims and move them to a safe place.”

“Lord Jiang and Lord Fang, listen up. The capital was far from the Barren Capital, and the army would need at least three to five days to arrive. Ask the officials around the Barren Capital to send soldiers to help the buried victims and then open the granaries to release food. First, protect the daily needs of the Barren Capital.”

“I bestow upon you the Imperial Sword. If you don’t obey, I will give you the right to act first and report later.” Lu Huaijiang glanced at Lord Jiang. Jiang Huaian was a civil official, and Fang Ruye was a military general. It was just right for him to act.

Jiang Huaian had been promoted to the third rank recently, and it was rare to find a third rank official.

Lord Xia was previously a third-grade official. At that time, he had already been a grandfather for many years.

Jiang Huaian was only in his twenties.

Now that he was standing in the middle of a group of old ministers, he was really eye-catching.

He had risen too quickly, and there were discussions among the officials and the people. This time, it happened to be along with the disaster relief. If it was done well, it would naturally be justified.

In the long run, he wanted to support Jiang Huaian and make him a great general.

The current Rank-3 was far from enough.

That was why his protectiveness was engraved in his bones.

Eunuch Lu personally took out the imperial sword and gave it to Jiang Huaian.

Jiang Huaian held the imperial sword tightly in his hand and said in a deep voice, “”Yes.”

“I will not disappoint you.”

Jiang Huaian’s expression darkened. This wasn’t just a relationship between monarch and subject.

It was also his…Brother-in-law.

After everyone had left, the Sage King glanced at the lords, who immediately agreed to discuss the matter of the natural disaster.

After the court session, news of the situation in Barren City spread.

When the commoners heard that the entire city had been destroyed, it had long become a purgatory.

Everyone’s faces turned pale.

“Why are there so many natural disasters all of a sudden? What did we do wrong?” The commoners knelt on the ground and roared angrily. They were wronged and angry.

Heaven, however, did not have the slightest answer.

After the court session, a group of officials originally requested to see the Emperor.

Eunuch Lu stood guard outside the royal study.”Milords, please return today. His Majesty did not sleep last night, and today, he suffered a blow from Barren City. I’m afraid that we’ll have to rest in the afternoon. If His Majesty is tired in such an eventful autumn, the people and the country will be even more uneasy.”

The ministers agreed and immediately asked Eunuch Lu to take good care of the Emperor.

“Recently, there have been many natural disasters. Your Majesty is busy every day. I still have to trouble the imperial physician to take Your Majesty’s pulse often.” If His Majesty fell, the Great Zhou would probably really be finished.

Recently, the Great Zhou had been plagued by natural disasters. The neighboring country, Fusang, had been constantly offending them. It seemed that they had forgotten the days when they were suppressed by His Majesty a few years ago.

The ministers did not dare to disturb His Majesty’s rest and retreated.

The moment Lu Huaijiang entered the royal study, the door closed.

His figure disappeared from the palace.
