After Zhou Qian said about the incident, it had been raining heavily for half a month, and he heard that the coastal city guarded by King Heng had problems because of the rain for days, but the emperor kept silent about it, Pei Yuan guessed that it might be saving face for King Heng.

King Heng had already learned from Qin Tianjian that there would be a heavy rain before he returned, and at that time he had already sent a letter to his subordinates to start strengthening the embankment, but when he returned, he saw that all his efforts were to no avail.

The rebuilt levees could not stop the flooding at all, and the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, the water level was still rising, and the subordinates below were obviously unable to do anything.

By the evening of the second day, things had become even more dire, and the flood had completely burst the levees, and all the nearby farmlands and even houses had been destroyed. There was a flood everywhere, there was a hoarse scream everywhere, and someone was swept away by the flood in their sleep, and when their families found it, they couldn't even see the corpse.

King Heng looked at the vast sea in front of him, his brain was throbbing and aching, and the subordinate officials next to him were still crying and mourning: "Lord, some family members who have been washed away and separated have made trouble in the yamen, asking our government to send people to help rescue and find people, but all the people in the yamen have gone to build embankments, where are the extra manpower to find people for them!" ”

King Heng pondered for a moment, and waited for the headache to pass before he commanded in a deep voice: "Transfer the people in the barracks to deal with the flood, and withdraw the people in the yamen to find people." ”

"But how can the people in the barracks be transferred at will?" The subordinate officer felt that something was not suitable.

King Heng looked at him coldly: "Is it called casual?" If they don't need these for such a big thing, when will it take? Raising soldiers for a thousand days is not to say that they can only use them when they are fighting. ”

The subordinate officials said yes again and again, and immediately went to do this non-stop, and King Heng led a team of men and horses to follow him, and began to release grain for disaster relief in the severely affected places according to his withering.

King Heng led the troops day and night to provide disaster relief, but he could only take care of the small area in front of him, and in other coastal towns that he couldn't take care of, some guards not only did nothing about the flood disaster, but also embezzled and corrupted in the matter of releasing grain for disaster relief.

The officials who were found out were naturally reprimanded by King Heng, but things have already happened, and such large-scale corruption cannot immediately make up for the deficit in a short period of time, and the people will not receive subsidies after the disaster, so they are naturally full of complaints.

I don't know who began to stir up emotions everywhere among the people, and before King Heng could come up with a solution in just a few days, a small number of the people who were guarding the people began to rebel.

The people and King Heng's army had a direct conflict, King Heng had no way except to let these soldiers stop them, they were already dishonest in the people, if they raised their swords to encircle and suppress at this time, I am afraid that they will lose the hearts of the people even more, and there will be more than these people who will rebel at that time.

The subordinate officer looked at the black and oppressive heads outside, and said with a bitter face: "Lord Wang, it's not a way to go on like this, you hurry up and think of a way to solve it, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that tomorrow this place will be attacked by those people." ”

King Heng is already a head or two, and everything in front of him is no longer something he can handle, he rubbed his temples and instructed his subordinate officials: "Prepare pen and paper for this king, this king wants to write a letter to the emperor, asking him to send rescue soldiers over." ”

In this way, the news of the coastal area can really reach the capital, Pei Yuan went out to go to the court as usual, but before leaving, Shen Jiahe stuffed an umbrella in the hand of the little servant who followed him: "Take care of your prince." ”

Seeing that the little guy nodded in response, Shen Jiahe helped Pei Yuan tidy up his clothes again: "Go early and come back early." Watching him get into the carriage, he went back to catch up on his sleep.

King Heng's news arrived in the capital early this morning, and the emperor read the letterhead and informed the officials: "This incident is bad, it is not just an ordinary disaster relief, King Heng asked me to send people to help him, who do you think is the most suitable person to go?" ”

Shen Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "At this time, the local officials are corrupt, and they should send people from the three divisions over, and Dali Siqing and others should choose the most suitable one." ”

Those are all Heng Wang's subordinates, with the attitude of investigating corrupt officials, how can the scourge cooperate well with Heng Wang, when the time comes, when he returns to the capital, maybe he will be put in small shoes by Heng Wang, Dali Siqing immediately shirked and said: "It's not that the ministers are unwilling to share worries for the emperor, but the most important thing in this matter at present is not those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, after all, there is King Heng, and they are also detained, and they can't make a splash." ”

"The most important thing now is that," Dali Siqing glanced at Shen Xiang, and then at the emperor before continuing, "It is to suppress those people who rebel, it is to appease those people who have not rebelled, Weichen is incompetent, this is really not Weichen's strength." ”

The emperor nodded, but agreed with Dali Siqing's statement, then looked at the people below and asked, "But there are other candidates to recommend, or there are people who take the initiative to share their worries." ”

Master Hanlin replied, "The minister has someone to recommend." ”

He looked at Shi Xiangjie, and then continued: "Lord Xiao Shi is the son of General Shi, and he is a person who has just returned from his military exploits, and he has a good reputation in the hearts of the people. ”

Shi Xiangjie replied: "The minister is willing to share the emperor's worries." ”

Such a candidate can be regarded as a decided, Pei Yuan touched his chin and thought about it, he had never had a chance to investigate the Gu poison back then, and the news received by the Yuan Pavilion in the past few years was also useless scraps, if he wanted to find out about the Gu poison, maybe he should go deep into the field.

He rushed away for too long, which will definitely attract attention, why not use this time to go south for disaster relief to investigate, thinking like this, Pei Yuan took the initiative to ask for his life: "Brother Chen is willing to take the initiative to follow Lord Xiao Shi to disaster relief, hoping that the emperor will be fulfilled." ”

The emperor didn't think much about it, anyway, whatever Pei Yuan did in his opinion, it was to consolidate his power in the court, he didn't want to see him jumping in front of him all day long, so he immediately agreed: "King Xian's heart is the blessing of the people of my Pei dynasty, and Zhong Aiqing still needs to learn more from King Xian." ”

Shi Xiangjie and Pei Yuan said goodbye to each other at the gate of the palace, Shi Xiangjie rode on the horse and said with a bitter face: "When I came back from the border, I promised Jiahui that I would never part with her again, which is good, I will break my promise to her again." After speaking, he arched his hand at Pei Yuan and rode away.

Pei Yuan thought about this in his heart, and didn't know how to talk to Shen Jiahe, they originally said that they would have a child after this time, but he didn't know how long he would be delayed before he could come back.

Thinking like this, Pei Yuan decided to hide this in advance, and dragged it until the day when he had to leave, and then told her truthfully, if she still wanted to go with her, then he would simply take it with him, as long as he took good care of it.

Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Yuan, who made an exception for lunch and used half a bowl of rice, and asked without moving, "When are you going to go for disaster relief?" ”

Pei Yuan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at her with a weak heart: "You know everything?" Who chews your tongue? "No one in the house knows about it.

Shen Jiahe glanced at him angrily: "The two of us have been for so long, you know me so well, don't I know you?" With a look of hidden thoughts, no one said that you were going to disaster relief, but only said that there was a flood in a coastal city, I guessed it. ”

"The princess is so smart, how can this king be good!" Pei Yuan smiled and hugged the person in his arms, "I wanted to find out about the Gu worms that my mother had mentioned, so I took the initiative to ask for help, otherwise I wouldn't want to clean up the mess for King Heng." ”

Shen Jiahe nodded: "Then you don't have to hide it from me, I'm such a person who doesn't care about the overall situation?" ”

Pei Yuan kissed her lips: "Naturally not, my princess is the most empathetic princess in the world, but I finally came back from the border, I'm afraid you feel sorry for me." ”

"Flim Flam!" Shen Jiahe patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Although I am reluctant, I will still support you." ”

Pei Yuan said with a smile: "Then you will go with me this time, anyway, I spent it safely last time." ”

Shen Jiahe shook her head, after the last incident, she already knew Pei Yuan's ability, so she didn't want to be willful again, the marriage of the two elder brothers was postponed until I don't know when, if this kind of thing happened again, I don't know how much it would affect the family.

Shen Jiahe suggested: "If you take Yuanyang and Yuanxu with you, I can rest assured of you, I will stay at home and wait for you to come back." ”

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "You really don't want to go with me?" "It's not like her character, but thinking about some things at the border, if she is willing to stay at home, it will save him a lot of heart.

Shen Jiahe affirmed: "Really, it's more true than gold." ”

In the afternoon, the general's mansion sent a small servant to invite Pei Yuan to discuss things with Shi Xiangjie, and Shen Jiahe took advantage of his absence to take Bai Ying to be busy in the kitchen for an afternoon.

Bai Ying asked Shen Jiahe while confronting: "Will the prince leave tomorrow?" ”

"I guess so, I heard that there was a mob in the area, and the situation is quite serious." Shen Jiahe sighed, "Sometimes I really envy Bai Wei when I think about it, just keep one acre and three points of land and live a good life, people like us always have something to do today and something tomorrow." ”

Bai Wei smiled: "It's all the same, ordinary people naturally have things to worry about at home, and everything is not smooth." ”

When the two came out of the kitchen, they happened to meet Gonggong Fu coming over and saying, "Princess, King Ling and Princess Ling are here." ”

Shen Jiahe hurriedly took Bai Ying to the front hall to greet him, and after seeing the two of them salute, Shen Jiahe explained to them: "Your imperial brother went to the General's Mansion, I'm afraid it will take a while to come back." ”

"We're here to see off the royal brother, it doesn't matter later." Pei Hao opened his mouth and said, "But just when I entered the door, I learned that the princess was busy in the kitchen with the little maid, which surprised me and Jintai a little." ”

Shen Jiahe instructed his subordinates to serve the tea, and then said with a smile: "Is there less of a thing that surprised you?" It's just cooking, and it's not done often. ”

is also said, just a woman crossing the border alone has already made people's jaws drop, Pei Hao also laughed: "Three days into the kitchen, wash your hands and make soup, this kind of artistic conception this king also wants to enjoy it." ”

Jintai glanced at him and snorted: "Tell you, don't think about this, I can't do it." ”

Pei Hao was afraid of making Jintai angry, and hurriedly explained: "Hey, I'm just talking casually, don't you mind!" ”

Shen Jiahe snorted and laughed, and when he saw Pei Yuan walking in from outside, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the paperwork in his hand, and said about Pei Hao's send-off: "The kitchen has already prepared a meal, and you can eat when you change your clothes." ”

"Brother Huang must pay attention to this, last time in the capital, King Heng didn't get a bargain in your hands, don't stumble when the time comes." Pei Yuan raised his glass and mentioned it to Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan raised his glass and took a sip before replying: "He will never take any action on the disaster relief, and I will withdraw in time when the disaster relief is over, and I don't want to deal with him more." ”

"That's the best."

Set off tomorrow to leave, Pei Yuan was reluctant to Shen Jiahe, and she was very tired from holding people back and forth that night, Shen Jiahe was really paralyzed in the end, and he was so angry that he asked him to sleep in the study.
