In mid-July, it's still hot.

Yan Chengjin looked at the weather and knew that it was going to rain, so he specially instructed the sedan chair man to go out with an umbrella before going out.

When I arrived at Chengxian Street, the sedan chair clanged.

He Neng covered his head and shouted, "Young master, it's hail!" What a big hailstone, smashing people to death! ”

Pedestrians fled in all directions, hiding under the eaves.

"Quickly carry the young master under the eaves and go into the inn to avoid hail."

Looking at the fist-sized hailstone, the roof of the sedan car clanged, as if it would break the hole at any time.

The Xiaoice period became more severe, with hail in July.

Yan Chengjin has only seen it in his life.

The sedan chair drivers did not dare to drop the sedan chair, and they were smashed to pieces and carried the sedan chair under the eaves.

Someone was hit and lay on the ground for a long time without reacting, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

"Someone there has fallen, won't you save it?" Yan Chengjin looked to the side.

The shopkeeper scolded: "It's good to be stoned to death, this deflated Sancheng will come to the inn to steal wine." ”

Could this be......

The oil-paper umbrella was smashed out of the hole, and the vendors ran away.

"It's such a big hail, it's the first time I've seen you in this palace."

Yan Chengjin looked up and saw Zhu Houzhao walking on the street happily, not dodging or dodging.

This guy's head must be broken.

"Your Highness, come and hide, you will be stoned to death."

"Lao Gao, come out and see, what a big hail!"

O faint king!

I don't know how many people will lose their grains, and the hail will fall into the ground, pressing the ears of rice into the soil, and after soaking, they will not be able to eat, and they will sprout.

At this time, there is still half a month before the harvest.

Yan Chengjin didn't care about Zhu Houzhao, but he saw that at the end of the street, a fast horse was galloping quickly, like an urgent report from the place.

I didn't know that there was a big event there, and it took 800 miles to expedite.

He was very calm, looking at the officer's outfit and direction, it shouldn't have been passed back by his father.

"Where is Your Highness going?"

"Go pick up Hanwen, this palace wants him to go to the East Palace on an errand." Zhu Houzhao said.

He has been practicing marksmanship hard for the past few days, and he wants to compete with Hangul.

When he has raised enough money, he will recruit soldiers and horses.

Feng Hanwen was the ranger general under his command, specializing in charging into battle.

Yan Chengjin knew that Zhu Houzhao liked high-force guards, and Jiang Bin was so favored.

"Your Highness knows where Han Wen lives?"

Zhu Houzhao showed a sly smile: "This palace doesn't know, you must know!" ”

"Han Wen has already entered the palace, Your Highness should return to the palace quickly, I'm afraid that I will be transferred to another place if it's too late."

Yan Chengjin guessed that Emperor Hongzhi would keep Han Wen by his side, and even if he didn't keep it, he wouldn't give it to Zhu Houzhao to mess around, otherwise, the East Palace would be turned upside down.

Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry, turned around and rushed to the palace.

Yan Chengjin looked at the oil-paper umbrellas that had been smashed out of the holes, and it seemed that when he returned to the house, he had to make a cloth umbrella and put it on the sedan chair.

……

The Royal Palace, the Cabinet Courtyard.

Li Dongyang is reviewing the Daming Huidian edited by Hanlin, and according to the plan, the book needs to be edited and revised this winter.

"Xie Pi's knowledge is doing well."

Just like Yan Chengjin when he first entered Hanyuan to compile classics.

Song Jing and Xie Pi and others also need to be edited, but this year's revision is the Ming Huidian.

Xie Qian sighed, and suddenly heard a tremor on the roof, and the ground outside the window was full of ice slag.

Liu Jian immediately stood up, and Li Dongyang also walked to the window, opening his mouth slightly.

"Oh my God, it's getting more and more abnormal."

"Alas, it is the time of harvest, and I don't know where this hailstone has fallen."

As he spoke, Hanlin, who served in the cabinet, hurried in.

"My lord, Anluzhou sent back a hurry."

The place where Xie Pi went to control the water was not Anlu Prefecture?

Xie Qian opened the emergency and saw that since the beginning of July, Anlu Prefecture has been raining heavily for ten consecutive days, and the floods are flowing sideways, rushing from east to west.

"Yu Qiao?"

Li Dongyang saw that his face had changed greatly, and hurriedly took over the sparse music to watch.

The sparse performance was written by the magistrate of Anlu Prefecture, and the heavy rain for ten consecutive days made many places in Anlu Prefecture like an ocean.

"What Princess Xing said is true, Anlu Prefecture is in July and August, and it will turn around."

"Let's go to your majesty first." Liu Jian looked at Xie Qian and said with concern: "Yu Qiao, you stay here on duty." ”

Xie Qian gritted his teeth and said: "Such a big event, is it because my son avoids it, and I face the saint with my two brothers." ”

Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and looked into the distance, and the hail smashed the rubble.

"It is the time of the harvest, and there is another catastrophe, and it seems that this year it will be open again for grain relief."

Xiao Jing thought for a while and comforted: "The slave maid thinks that the harvest year is coming. ”

"Why?"

"Prison Supervisor Qintian is saying that Ruixue will have a good year, and the hail will fall so much......" Sensing that His Majesty's face darkened, Xiao Jing reined in the precipice and swallowed the words that he didn't say.

The little eunuch came to report and said, "Your Majesty, Master Zeng Jian of the Ministry of Industry is in a hurry. ”

After a while, Zeng Jian strode to Emperor Hongzhi's side and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, according to a rough count, there are twelve palaces in the palace that need to be repaired.

I don't know how much damage is still done to the yamen of the six departments and the prisons......"

This hailstorm turned rubble into rubble.

The yamen of the six ministries and the prisons have not yet been reported, and it is just a hall in the palace.

The cost of repair is no less than 10,000 taels of silver.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed heavily: "I look at Yan Chengjin's mansion, it is dilapidated, and it is also well lived, and the side halls in the palace that do not need to be repaired are put aside for the time being." ”

"This ...... Among these twelve palaces, there are His Majesty's Qianqing Palace, the Queen Mother's Renshou Palace, and the Prince's East Palace......" Zeng Jian looked up and lowered his head again.

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated for a long time, and spit out a few words with difficulty: "Repair, how much silver?" ”

"The minister estimates that it will take 200,000 taels." Zeng Jian asked for more, anyway, after the repair, there will be a supervised eunuch liquidation.

If you don't have any money for half of the repair, then it's troublesome.

If you ask Your Majesty again, it may not be so easy.

Xiao Jing saw that the corners of Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were slightly squinted, but his hands were unconsciously pulled into fists, and when His Majesty had difficulty in making a choice, it would be like this.

"The East Palace is not repaired, let's repair other palaces first."

Zeng Jian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, the old man's daughter still lives in the East Palace!

Sensing the face of his in-laws, he couldn't wronged his daughter-in-law after all, Emperor Hongzhi coughed dryly: "After collecting the summer tax, it's not too late to repair the East Palace." ”

The summer tax is only in August, just after January.

Liu Jian and the three of them crossed the gate prison and walked straight into the Fengtian Palace: "Your Majesty, the urgent performance from An Luzhou." ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly presented the sparse music, and after Emperor Hongzhi read it, his face changed greatly: "The water of the Han River has burst the embankment?" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang bowed down.

The Han River is the largest river in Huguang, along the river there are Shou County, Jingshan County, Zhongxiang County and other places, hundreds of thousands of people.

It is the most fertile granary of the Ming Dynasty in addition to the south of the Yangtze River.

Ten days of heavy rain, the flow was rapid, and some of the low thatched houses could not even see the roof.

"Now, we can only control the water to save the people of Anlu Prefecture, but the flood covers the rubble, and I am afraid that Xie Pi will not be able to do anything."

Li Dongyang said.

Speaking of Xie Pi, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell on Xie Qian, "Master Xie doesn't have to worry, I believe Xie Pi ...... him"

Xie Qian bowed his head, but he was so depressed that he couldn't speak.

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, it is better to send another person to Huguang to divide and rule." ”

Relying on Xie Pi alone, such a big water situation can't cope with it.

He is also a new member of the Kejin Sect, and he has no experience in water control.

Xie Qian bowed slightly, and said resolutely: "The minister asks for the order, and he is willing to go!" ”

"Master Xie doesn't need to be in a hurry, this matter is related to the lives of tens of millions of people, and I will make a decision after the court discusses."

The hail stopped,

Hundreds of officials crowded into the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Houzhao also came, and Han Wen was really on an errand in the Fengtian Palace!

"Father, can you transfer Han to guard the East Palace?"

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him, ignoring him, "Stand down, I have something to discuss!" ”

Zhu Houzhao obediently stood aside, pretending to be solemn.

As long as he behaves well, his father will transfer Hanwen to the East Palace.

Xiao Jing began to read out the urgent recital, and when he heard the heavy rain in Anlu Prefecture for ten consecutive days, the officials whispered.

Yan Chengjin lowered his head, the area around the two lakes was also a flood-prone area in later generations.

This time, it rained heavily for 10 consecutive days......

Xie Pi doesn't know if he's still alive? I knew that I sent Wang Shouren to go, Wang Shouren has the aura of a saint, and he can't die under normal circumstances.
