Chapter 52 Ask the Heavenly Father

Song Fujian Road, Quanzhou Nan'an County embankment

After several days of heavy rain, the water of the Nan'an River swelled, thus breaking the embankment of the Nan'an River.

In order to block the breach of the embankment of the Nan'an River and save the thousands of people in Nan'an County, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, took the lead and jumped into the torrent.

At this time, the people on the embankment were also very busy, and the cloth bags, stones, firewood, door panels and other things filled with dirt rained down on the breach, and they could successfully block the breach.

However, at this time, Li Sanjian and the others, who formed the human wall, had reached the end of the strong crossbow, and they could no longer hold on, and some people had even fainted in the flood. Everyone who jumped into the rapids had ropes tied to them, and after fainting, they were dragged up the embankment, but there were also people who were swept into the flood because the ropes were broken by the rapids, and rushed downstream, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

The same is true for Li Sanjian, tiredness, cold, and pain are intertwined, making Li Sanjian almost faint in the torrent, standing in the water is swaying, not Shan Kui and Xu Biao holding each other, maybe they will really be swept away by the flood.

"Heaven is a ball!"

At this critical moment, Li Sanjian suddenly used enough strength to shout loudly.

When everyone who was about to hold on heard this, they were all startled, and they were all extremely surprised, and they all turned their heads to look at Li Sanjian together.

Could it be that Li Daguan has been standing in the torrent for a long time, so that he has become a demon? Started babbling? Everyone thought of it in their hearts.

"He is strong by him, and the breeze blows on the hills; He is crossed by him, and the bright moon shines on the river. Li Sanjian then shouted loudly.

It turned out to be the poet of Zhuang Yuanlang, and everyone secretly said in their hearts,

"He is strong by him, and the breeze blows on the hills; He is crossed by him, and the bright moon shines on the river. "Li Dazhizhou is so elegant, how can everyone not be funny? So the crowd shouted loudly together.

However, when I yelled as hard as I could, the fatigue on my body seemed to disappear, and I felt mentally abnormal.

"My generation asked the sky, full of armor and eight horses, angry! Indignant! Indignant! Li Sanjian shouted loudly again.

"My generation asked the sky, full of armor and eight horses, angry! Indignant! Indignant! And they shouted again.

"Look up to the sky and roar across the horse, try to ask the heavenly lord who is high and low, kill! Kill! Kill! Li Sanjian shouted.

"Look up to the sky and roar across the horse, try to ask the heavenly lord who is high and low, kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Everyone yelled together, especially "Kill! Kill! Kill! The crowd roared out almost with all their might, as if a thunderclap had suddenly struck in the sky, and the sound shook the wilderness.

Li Sanjian's poem is not a quatrain for the ages, nor is it a wonderful work, but it can express his anger, dissatisfaction, and refusal to admit defeat, and can show his unyielding heart to fight against natural disasters, which makes people extremely excited.

"My generation asked the sky, full of armor and eight horses, angry! Indignant! Indignant! ”

"Li Zhizhou, we're here for the grass people!"

"The grass people are willing to go with Li Zhizhou!"

At this moment, there were shouts from all directions, and the sound shook the wilderness, and it was definitely not the shouts of one person, ten people, or even hundreds, or thousands, at least ten thousand people or more could make such a huge shout.

At this moment, men and women, old and young, carrying shovels, bamboo rakes, sticks, hoes and other things, rushed towards the river embankment, shouting loudly as they ran.

When Li Sanjian saw this scene, the corners of his eyes suddenly felt a little moist, and tears couldn't help but flow, but they were quickly washed away by the flood.

A few years later, someone with a heart set up a stone tablet on the river embankment here, called "Meritorious Tablet", which recorded that Li Sanjian, who was the governor of Quanzhou at that time, Li Taishou, sacrificed his life to control the water, which was admired by future generations.

。。。。。。。。。。

"Hahahaha!"

"Li Zhizhou... You... Ha ha! ”

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the river embankment in Nan'an County was finally blocked.

Li Sanjian, Yang Zheng and others were then "fished" out of the water.

Li Sanjian and Yang Zheng were lying on the river embankment at this time, so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, and they couldn't move.

Although Li Sanjian almost collapsed, he couldn't help laughing when he looked at the higher and higher embankments.

"Li Zhizhou!" Yang Zheng lay on the ground and gasped and said to Li Sanjian: "Xia Guan has heard of Li Zhizhou's name for a long time, and he is an official who cares for the people, and he really deserves his reputation." Only... But... When Li Zhizhou first arrived in Quanzhou, the lower officials were still skeptical, and after that, Li Zhizhou and Quanzhou Prefecture were all over the place. . . ”

"Do you think this official is not worthy of his name?" Li Sanjian said with a smile when he heard this.

"The lower officials have eyes and no beads, and I hope that Li Zhizhou will forgive his sins." Yang Zheng laughed when he heard this.

"Rigidity is folding, softness is eternal, and softness is stronger than strength." Li Sanjian raised his hand with difficulty, shook it and smiled.

The affairs of officialdom need to be hypothetical in many cases, and there is no way to do it, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart. All right

As an official in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, if he is so loyal and upright that he is almost unapproachable and does not recognize his six relatives, then he will also be isolated from the officialdom and will not be tolerated by others, and at the same time, it will be difficult to move an inch.

If an official becomes a loner, then no matter what happens, it will be very difficult.

This is also Li Sanjian's euphemistic advice to Yang Zheng.

"The lower officials are afraid, and Li Zhizhou's words should be remembered by the lower officials." Yang Zheng nodded.

Since you said in your mouth, rigidity is folding, softness is eternal, softness is stronger than strong, but what about yourself? In fact, Yang Zheng still had some disdain in his heart.

When Li Sanjian was in the capital, he avenged the people and killed the prince of the dynasty in anger, thus delaying his future, is this soft? It's too rigid to be more rigid ...

Li Sanjian's matter is already known to the whole world at this time.

"That's it!" Li Sanjian waved his hand and asked, "Now I can tell me why Nan'an County broke the embankment, right?" ”

"It rained heavily for days, and the country skyrocketed." Yang Zheng replied.

"It has been raining heavily for several days, and the country is soaring, is the official blind? You know what I'm asking? Li Sanjian's face sank, and he stared at Yang Zheng tightly and asked unhappily.

"What's the obvious thing, do you still need to talk about it?" Yang Zhengqiang's temper came up again, and he replied unceremoniously.

"Jinjiang County... Li Sanjian glared at Yang Zheng and said.

"Li Zhizhou is clearly decided!" Yang Zheng nodded.

"Jinjiang County, Jinjiang County, Jinjiang County..." Li Sanjian said to Yang Zheng after talking about Jinjiang County three times: "Yang Zhixian, I bother you to arrange a place for the official, the official just wants to sleep well now." ”

"Li Zhizhou's order, how dare the lower officials disobey?" Yang Zheng said.

。。。。。。。。。。

Jinjiang County, Songquan Prefecture

Jinjiang County, also known as Thorn Tree, Ruitong, Quan'an, is located in the southeast of Nan'an County, south of Quanzhou, from Nan'an County and Quanzhou are twenty or thirty miles up and down, the distance is close, Quanzhou Governance Office was placed in Jinjiang County.

"Congratulations to Wuzhi County, blessed as the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan."

"Congratulations to Wuzhi County, the sun and the moon shine together, and spring and autumn are not old."

"The longevity examination is Hongfu, and the three joys of life are leisurely and elegant."

"Haha, Tongxi, Tongxi, everyone, please come in!" Wu Xiyu, the magistrate of Jinjiang County, who was dressed in a longevity robe, stood in front of the mansion and said again and again.

Today is the 50th birthday of Wu Xiyu, the magistrate of Jinjiang County, so Wu Xiyu set up a birthday hall in his mansion and placed a birthday banquet to invite guests from all over the world.

There is red silk hanging on the south wall of Shoutang, the word "Shou" is written on it, there is a picture of a hundred Shou on its side, Shou Lian is hung on both sides, Shou Lian is hung on it, and there are some Shou Lian on the rest of the wall. A red carpet is laid on the floor of Shoutang, and a square table is placed under the wall in front of Shoutang, on which are placed shou peaches, shou noodles, seasonal fruits and vegetables, shou noodles and so on. Candles are placed on the square table, and chairs are placed on either side of the hall.

The birthday display is extremely luxurious.

Wu Xiyu is the respect of a county, and the wealthy merchants and officials of Jinjiang County naturally want to go to Wu Xiyu's mansion to celebrate his birthday and give him a generous gift.

It is said that Wu Xiyu has a tough backstage, so everyone does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, but also to give Wu Xiyu a generous gift.

Wu Xiyu was also born as a Xu official, and he had no fame, but he had a tough backstage, so he became the magistrate of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou.

Generally speaking, people from Xu officials can reach the sky at most if they achieve the county order.

The number of officials and wealthy merchants who came to Wu Xiyu's mansion to congratulate him on his birthday was relatively large, and there were even Hu merchants and Fan merchants, and everyone flocked to the mansion with various birthday gifts, and offered their blessings one after another.

As the saying goes, the county officials are not as good as the current management, although Wu Xiyu is only the magistrate of Jinjiang County, but Jinjiang County is close to Quanzhou, near Quanzhou City, near Quanzhou Wharf, there are more Hu merchants and Fan merchants who come and go on weekdays, and it is Wu Xiyu who manages them, so although some Hu merchants and Fan businessmen are unwilling in their hearts, they dare not give Wu Xiyu a generous gift.

"Liu Xiancheng, why is it like this? Don't you like the old man's birthday today? Wu Xiyu saw that Liu Yanlu, the county magistrate of Jinjiang County, looked sullen, so he asked.

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare!" Liu Yanlu got up when he heard this, and apologized again and again: "Xiaguan has the courage to dare not offend Wu Zhixian, Xiaguan is just worried about Jinjiang County." ”

"Oh? What is there in Jinjiang County that you need to worry about? Wu Xiyu snorted.

The old man is the magistrate of Jinjiang County, and you Liu Yanlu is just the county magistrate, and now you Liu Yanlu is worried about the affairs of Jinjiang County, isn't it just a substitute for you? Wu Xiyu said secretly in his heart.

"Hey, Xiaguan didn't offend Wu Zhixian, but at present, Quanzhou is flooded, and Xiaguan also heard that the river embankment in Nan'an County has been broken out of two executions, so... Ay... This... But how is it good? Liu Yanlu said hesitantly.

The floods in Quanzhou are raging, but Wu Xiyu doesn't think about water control, disaster relief and other things, but he puts on a birthday banquet.

"Quanzhou Li Taishou has arrived!" At this moment, the master of ceremonies outside the mansion sang loudly.

"Congratulations to Wuzhi County, congratulations to Wuzhi County!" At this time, the people of the mansion suddenly heard a young and loud voice.
