Chapter 379: The Breach of the Levee (Part 1)
A group of officials beat drums in their hearts, and they responded one after another: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials must focus on the people." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Princess Huan Ji traveled, except for the carriage in which she herself sat and the carriage that pulled the goods, the other officials all rode horses, of course, they also had carriages for rest, but there were only two carriages, which were for the sick or unwell.
So most of the officials had to ride horses.
Fortunately, the children of the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty are good at riding and shooting, and some officials who can't ride horses will also start to learn to ride and shoot after they become officials, plus Princess Huanji specially found someone to train them in equestrianism before they traveled, so no one had anything unpleasant because of horseback riding along the way.
Li Geng stepped forward to stop a farmer pushing a unicycle and asked, "Uncle, where are you going?" Is this what happened? ”
The old man said: "What else can you do but run for your life, the Yellow River has burst, hurry up and run for your life." The old man didn't stop, and followed the flow of people as he spoke.
Li Geng was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed a younger person and asked, "Little brother, where is the embankment?" ”
The young man said in a panic: "Don't pull me, the embankment in Qizhou has burst, so run away." There are more refugees in the back, and if you don't leave, you can't leave. After saying that, he quickly left.
Li Geng asked a few people in a row, no wonder there were so many people fleeing here, thinking that this should be the first batch of relatively wealthy people. Presumably, the old, weak, women and children of the poor people should be behind.
Li Geng hurriedly ran back to tell the news he had just heard.
When everyone heard that the Yellow River had burst its banks, they all beat drums in their hearts, and if the refugees poured in, they would not be enough to see at all.
Huan Ji's hand clenched into a fist, and she lifted the corner of the curtain to look at the people rushing ahead.
Wang Yuyang, who was on the side, held Huan Ji's hand and said, "Go back to Jingzhou." ”
For the first time, Li Geng heard Wang Yuyang pass the princess and directly order things, and replied directly: "Yes, Master Horse." ”
Li Geng passed on Wang Yuyang's words, and the team followed the refugees back to Jingzhou the same way.
Qizhou is the confluence of the Yellow River and the Han River, and now they only hope that the place where the breach is not large, and that there is still a chance to save it.
Everyone rushed for two days before returning to Jingzhou City, and Huan Ji directly requisitioned the government as an inspector of the imperial history.
The Jingzhou prefect is now in a dilemma, if he helps the victims, there is no money and food, if he does not help, it will be a stain in the future.
When he learned that the inspection of the imperial history from Qingzhou came to requisition the government office, he didn't even think about it, and directly agreed.
A hundred guards from Qingzhou went directly to the Jingzhou Mansion, and Gu Yuan led the medical team to start taking health precautions in Jingzhou City.
Wang Yuyang and Huan Ji personally met with the prefect of Jingzhou, and the prefect asked anxiously: "My lord, is there a best strategy, this is the surplus grain of Jingzhou Mansion in the past few years, and now it will be handed over to the adults to dispose of." Saying that, the Jingzhou prefect handed over a dozen account books.
"You've done a good job, you've personally brought people to settle the victims, and I'll have someone with you later." ”
The prefect thanked him before leaving, and after the prefect returned to the backyard, the master whispered a few words, "They are not inspecting the imperial history, and one of them is Princess Huanji." ”
Prefect: "Can you find out?" ”
Master: "The investigation is clear, they are from Qingzhou, and recently only Princess Huanji has been appointed to inspect the imperial history for His Majesty to inspect the south." ”
The prefect was afraid for a while, but fortunately, he heard that they were under the banner of Qingzhou, so he expressed his position.
Master: "It's better that adults don't know, since the princess doesn't want to make a noise, she should want to give Your Majesty the reputation of helping the people." ”
Prefect: "That's right. ”
The two of them whispered a few more words before parting.

Huan Ji: "Li Geng, write an urgent letter to Qingzhou, ask Wang Wensheng to prepare food for disaster relief, and inform the imperial court, so that Your Majesty can send someone to come to the disaster relief." ”
Huan Ji: "In the name of Your Majesty, I will personally lead the people of Jingzhou to provide disaster relief, and I think there will be more and more victims." ”
Wang Yuyang: "Let's go and find out the situation in Qizhou." ”
Huan Ji nodded and said, "Yes, let's go to the embankment first, and then go to the refugee camp." ”
In accordance with the instructions of Princess Huanji, the prefect of Jingzhou prepared a refugee shelter and food for disaster relief.
The people of Jingzhou knew that His Majesty had sent someone to investigate the disaster relief, and they were all grateful, and they only hoped that this official was a clean official and could really help them.
Huan Ji took a group of officials to check the embankment every day, for fear of a breach.
In the past few days, it has been raining heavily and lightly, and it has been raining for ten days in a row, and Huan Ji is very worried about the people who have fled.
The emperor has received a letter from Huan Ji, and he was directly angry in the court, but fortunately, the treasury has money in recent years, and the emperor immediately asked people to allocate money and food to the south for disaster relief, as for the officials involved in the case and the inspection officials, they will be dealt with together after the disaster relief.
Princess Huan Ji went to visit the refugees in person, as the imperial historian.
Li Geng shouted: "Your Majesty's hand-picked inspection of the imperial history is here, if anyone knows the details of Qizhou now, please go to the front account to narrate." ”
This is already the third batch of refugees to come here, and one of them led a child out and said: "Grass people Xue Fu, my lord is the governor of the beggar governor, Xue Donglin. The grass people know the big and small affairs of the beggars, so please call the shots. ”
When Li Geng heard this, he hurriedly asked people to take him to the tent where the princess was temporarily resting in front.
Xue Fu said: "This is my young master, who is six years old this year, can the grass people bring it with me." ”
Li Geng agreed, let them hurry over, and here he also wanted to see if anyone else knew about the matter.
Huan Ji changed into simple casual clothes at the moment, and Wang Yuyang stood beside her.
Xue Fu came in and knocked and said, "Xue Fu, the grass people, pay a visit to Lord Yushi, and ask Lord Yushi to be the master of my family." Xue Fu led the little boy in, knelt down and kowtowed.
Obviously, this person named Xue Fu thought that Wang Yuyang was the imperial history.
And Xue Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, was thinking in his heart, this imperial history went out to inspect and even brought his wife, I don't know if they will be in the same stream.
Huan Ji gave Wang Yuyang a look, and Wang Yuyang said, "Get up." ”
Huan Ji asked: "What grievances does your lord have, please come one by one, you can rest assured, our lord is a famous Qing official in Qingzhou, and he will definitely avenge your lord." ”
Xue Fu hesitated for a moment, thinking that when he entered the city, he saw the banner of Qingzhou, and asked softly, "My lord is an official of the Qingzhou Mansion?" ”
Wang Yuyang: "Yes." ”
Huan Ji hurriedly said: "Our adults are the confidants of Princess Huan Ji, you don't have to be afraid of power, our princess has not been afraid of anyone so far." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xue Fu slammed his head a few times, took out a roster and two account books from his arms, and handed them to Huan Ji together. (To be continued.) )
