Although he was crowned king, the four princes ran out of the imperial city again within a few days and disappeared. The ministers who supported the four princes were frozen into ice with their blood, and they didn't even have the spirit of the previous dynasty.

The four princes ran away for a year, and the ministers gradually calmed down, and went to the court in peace, office, and listened to the announcement.

Xiao Qiao also started the affairs of the household department this year, and he was not as busy as before. In the summer, he also asked Master Li for leave, and took Hu to leave Zhuangzi to escape the summer.

Master Li was sweating in the hot head of the household, thinking of the students who took Hu Li Yoyoda a few days ago and left without hesitation, and kept muttering, "I don't know how to respect the teacher at all, and I have to train well when I come back." ”

"What do you say, my lord?" The pawn who was giving Master Li a hand on the side leaned over curiously and asked, and Master Li slammed his head down, "Go and go, go and work, and inquire about your family's private affairs." ”

"Oh." The pawn covered his head and slipped out, the adults have been moody lately, who are they angry about? Or who has the guts to let go of his family's popularity for several days?

No one answered the pawn's doubts, so Master Li moved the ice basin forward, squatted beside him, and held a fan, "This day, it's really hot." The imperial city is so hot, there won't be a drought, right? ”

"It's really hot this year, Brother Xiao." Hu Li was lying in the gazebo, his hands paddling around the lake, and a group of small fish swimming in the direction of his hand strokes.

"Well, it won't be long before it rains." Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li, who was playing in the water, and looked at him carefully, so as not to fall into the lake.

"Oh, it's better if it's raining, it's much cooler when it rains." Hu Li pinched the fish food and sprinkled it in the lake, although he was not afraid of the heat, but such a hot weather made people feel unrefreshed, so nostalgic for the summer in the far north mountains.

"Hmm......" Xiao Qiao thought that it would not be long before there would be a month of continuous rain and the ensuing floods, hoping that Lord Lin would realize the severe consequences of heavy rain earlier than in his previous life.

"Is the old lady feeling better today?" Hu Li turned over and pulled Xiao Qiao's sleeve and dangled it, bringing a trace of wind, Hu Li squinted his eyes.

"It's better, my grandmother's health has always been healthy, but now it's just a bit of a bitter summer, and when the weather cools down, it'll be fine." Xiao Qiao pinched Hu Li's nose and pulled his sleeve back from his claws, "Okay, get up, didn't you say that you want to take the red halberd to hunt?" ”

"Wait a minute, it's too hot." Hu Li refused to get up from the wooden chair in the pavilion, and leaned on it and blinked at Xiao Qiao, trying to make him feel how much he didn't want to move.

Xiao Qiao endured it, but in the end he was defeated by his watery eyes, and accompanied him in the pavilion for a while, knowing that the sun was in the west, so he got up and took the red halberd to the back mountain to hunt.

The halberd was two years old, three feet tall, almost seven feet long with its wings outstretched, and sharp claws and beaks sharp enough to tear through its prey. Not to mention that the red halberd has eaten a lot of spiritual grass elixir obtained from Grandpa Hu, it was not obvious at the beginning, and now the red halberd has the spiritual intelligence of a ten-year-old child, and he is very picky when hunting, and he can't let him go all out of the prey except for all kinds of chickens.

Thanks to Hu Li is demon fairy, otherwise there was a three-foot-tall eagle standing on that thin arm, and anyone who looked at it would be terrified.

However, Hu Li didn't realize this at all, he waited with great interest for the red halberd to run after the prey in the back mountains, and he didn't use spiritual power, just like an ordinary person, to enjoy the fun of chasing.

Xiao Qiao sometimes joins him, but most of the time he stays in the summer village, although he takes leave to hide and is lazy, but the official business that should be handled still has to be handled.

And Xiao's mother was also brought to the summer village, during this time, Xiao Qiao let Xia Yikong zhì Gu worms, and Xiao's mother was able to get out of bed and walk around.

She knew that Xiao Qiao had a good relationship with the old lady, so even if she was disliked by the old lady openly and secretly, she still went to the old lady every day to say goodbye.

Xiao Qiao watched Xiao Mu toss coldly, he didn't plan to kill her this summer, he had to let Xiao Mu live, at least before the new emperor ascended the throne.

Half a month later, as Xiao Qiao said, the heavy rain poured down, and the hot heat was washed away at once. The summer resort is already cool, but it rains heavily for a few days, and even chills faintly at night.

Xiao Qiao didn't dare to take the old lady and Hu Li to continue to live in the summer village, and after the rain stopped a little, he took them back to Xiao's mansion.

In the imperial city, everyone was jubilant, the sun was scorching a few days ago, and everyone stayed at home and didn't move much. Even the court rested collectively within a few days of Xiao Qi'ao taking leave, and even Emperor Huiming was so hot that he nested in the hall every day, and he had to carry an ice basin with him when he went out.

It's a pity that this joy didn't last long before it was washed away by the continuous heavy rain along with the heat, Xiao Qiao looked at the heavy rain outside, frowned and said nothing, Hu Li lay on Xiao Qiao's back from behind, and pulled his ears, "Brother Xiao, what do you want?" ”

"Little thing, the guts have risen, huh?" Xiao Qiao stretched out his long arms, picked up the person like a child, and flicked his forehead.

Hu Li stuck out his tongue, turned his head to look at the heavy rain outside the window and the stagnant water in the yard, and then looked at the sky, "Brother Xiao, you see that the dark clouds are still very thick, how long will it take for this rain?" ”

Xiao Qiao pinched Hu Li's cheek and sighed: "At least it will go down for a few days, and if it goes down like this, I'm afraid that the embankments in many places will be destroyed." ”

Hu Li blinked, thought about what he had seen when the levee collapsed, and his brows furrowed, "Is that going to kill a lot of people, I remember that after the flood, there will be a plague." ”

"Yes, I hope the things I sent to Lord Lin can be useful." Xiao Qiao began to ask Xia to develop medicines that could prevent the plague very early, and now he was quite successful, and after seven days of heavy rain, he sent someone to send the medicinal powder to Lord Lin, just hoping to come in handy.

The problem that Xiao Qiao and Hu Li are worried about is exactly what Lord Lin is worried about, and Lord Lin has begun to pay attention to it since he received the medicine powder sent by Xiao Qiao. Especially after the heavy rain did not stop for nearly ten days, Lord Lin braved the heavy rain and entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, and told Emperor Huiming all the problems he was worried about now.

Emperor Huiming is not a dim-witted emperor, and he still pays close attention to people's livelihood. After hearing this, he first asked the people from the Tai Hospital to verify the efficacy of the medicinal powder brought by Lord Lin, and then announced that the household department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War entered the palace to discuss the possible waterlogging.

After a discussion in the Imperial Study, Lord Hayashi asked himself to inspect the embankment and followed the embankment all the way south from the north. Just as Lin reached Jiangnan, the embankment collapsed, and the water washed away the houses and fields.

Lord Lin couldn't rebuild the embankment in a short time, so he could only find another way, gather the victims, take care of three meals a day, and dig more than a dozen tributaries together, diverting the flood water to barely save the nearest city.

Fortunately, Jiangnan is rich, the prefect of Jiangnan is a newcomer who has only been in office for two years, and he does not dare to stretch his hand too long, and when there is enough food and grass, this disaster did not cause the same casualties as before.

However, post-disaster reconstruction is still a top priority for Lord Lin, and when he received the letter sent to him by Xiao Qiao, he called Xiao Shilang a great talent.

This letter was prepared by Xiao Qiao a long time ago, just for this flood in Jiangnan, and even the method of diversion was reminded by Xiao Qiao when he was drinking during the New Year's Day.

Xiao Qiao sat on the rocking chair in front of the window with Hu Li in his arms, swaying leisurely, he needed Master Lin to become the leader of the Ministry of Industry, so that the Ministry of Industry could be more smoothly returned to the command of the Eighth Prince in the future.

According to the news he got recently, King Jin has begun to be unable to hold back, and hopes that the Eighth Prince's actions in the northwest will be faster, otherwise he will not be able to catch up.

"Brother Xiao, is Jiangnan really okay?" Hu Li looked at the rain that was still dripping outside the window and asked worriedly.

"As long as it works properly, it's fine." Xiao Qiao held Hu Li's waist, gently moved his fingers and scratched it, Hu Li's body stiffened suddenly, and then he began to flutter, and soon laughed out of breath.

"Hahaha, don't scratch it, don't scratch it, Brother Xiao, hahaha, don't scratch it." Hu Li twisted and twisted, his face was red with a smile, the physiological tears in his eyes were left, his nose was red, and he looked pitiful and cute.

Xiao Qiao stopped his hand and let Hu Li lie on top of him and gasp, and then stared at him for a while before he said, "Just talk, what do you scratch me for?" ”

Xiao Qiao smiled and nodded his eyebrows, "You can eat as much as you want, play when you want, don't worry about the affairs of the court." ”

Hu Li pouted dissatisfiedly, and reached out to pinch Xiao Qiao's nose, "How can this be considered a matter in the court, it is obviously a matter of ordinary people." ”

"Okay, good, you're right." Xiao Qiao let Hu Li pinch his nose, and the words he said had a thick post-nasal sound. Hu Li laughed out loud as soon as he "poofed", let go of the fingers pinching Xiao Qiao's nose, and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist again.

Lord Lin is a good official who loves the people, and he stayed in Jiangnan until September, completely letting the people of Jiangnan settle down. Because of the anti-plague powder, only a few people were actually infected with the plague after the disaster, and a large number of people did not die. Without the plague, there would be no panic, and there would be less unrest.

When Lord Lin came back, the whole person was not only thinner, but also a lot darker, looking like a refugee. Emperor Huiming sighed for this, and appreciated a cart of supplements, hoping that Lord Lin would not be tired.

The emperor is virtuous, the minister is virtuous, and the whole court is not like a court in harmony, so King Jin is simply heartbroken.

"Go and tell the people over there, the dosage has increased, and I hope to see the results before next year."

"Yes, lord."

"Master, there is movement in King Jin." A man in black rolled in through the window and was almost slapped out by Hu Li.

Xiao Qiao took the unsigned letter, and after reading it, he burned it, "Keep watching, and tell Xia Er, speed up, the eighth prince must come back before the year." ”

"Yes, master."

After the man in black left, Hu Li sighed, "The royal family is really messy!" ”

"Yes, so you still don't have anything to do with Yu Jia." Xiao Qiao took the opportunity to focus on eye medicine without any doubt.
