At night, it's as cool as water.

Ordinary people, unaware, fell into a deep sleep.

In the sweet dreamland, they didn't know that the crisis was quietly enveloping them little by little.

The night passed quickly.

The sky is white.

Then, the scorching sun rose into the sky.

On the edge of the Yellow River, people who have been busy for a long time helplessly looked up at the sun in the middle of the sky and sighed: "Alas, today is another day of unbearable heat. ”

The houses of the people on the banks of the Yellow River collapsed, and many fields and other fields were also washed away by the flood.

Now that the flood has receded, the people on the banks of the Yellow River have the help of the imperial court.

However, after all, the imperial court cannot help them for a lifetime.

If they want to live for a long time, they still need to rebuild their houses and reorganize their fields.

No one would have thought that after the flood, the sun did not set over the mountain during the daytime.

In the beginning, everyone was actually quite happy.

Because the sun can dry the water.

However, as the days went by, some of the older people noticed that something was wrong.

- Before the flood occurred, the same was true in heaven.

It's just that at that time, it was raining all the time.

Originally, June was redundant, which in the eyes of people was a matter of God's mercy on them.

However, who would have thought that when it rained too much, it would become waterlogging.

The Yellow River washed away the embankment.

Along with it, it also washed away more than a dozen surrounding villages.

This disaster came unexpectedly.

At the beginning of the disaster, an elderly man sat by the door, looking at the rain like a curtain, revealing a faint worry.

But at that time, no one took it seriously.

And now, such a situation has appeared, and the first to react are such elderly people.

They sat in the doorway and nagged to themselves.

This time, though, the advice of the elders was not ignored.

Fortunately, the sun only basked for more than half a month.

The flood waters receded, and the water at the bottom of the well had not yet had time to be evaporated.

People began to prepare for the drought.

In addition, he also told the court officials who came to relieve the disaster.

When Temu Changyuan heard this, he frowned.

He thanked the county magistrate who had been elected by the villagers.

Instead, he instructed his men to make some preparations.

At this time, Tiemu Changyuan, who was on the edge of the Yellow River, and the people did not know.

On the edge of the Yellow River, where the flood occurred, a little to the south, on the vast plains, at this time also faced the same situation as on the edge of the Yellow River.

The differences are:

Soon after the Yellow River, there will be a heavy rain.

In addition, there has just been a flood on their side, so in fact, the stored water is actually enough.

On the southern plains, there is no habit of storing water at all.

In previous years, they relied on God to provide food.

God gave them the wind and rain, and they were able to eat and not go hungry.

God didn't have that much to eat, and although they didn't have enough to eat, they didn't starve to death.

This time, however......

It seems that God has forgotten to give them the rain.

…………

However, at this time, the people of the Southern Central Plains still knew nothing about this.

The sun on the edge of the Yellow River is still scorching.

After all, Tiemu Changyuan came here to provide disaster relief, and the Yellow River had just been flooded, and everything was destroyed.

Naturally, there is no ice or anything.

Therefore, Tiemu Changyuan had no choice but to put many buckets in his room......

However, later, since the people on the side of the Yellow River, they came to tell him that there is a high probability of drought on the side of the Yellow River, so please prepare Tiemu Changyuan to save some water, and it is best to store some water.

Tiemu Changyuan even removed the bucket in the room.

The two black-clothed men followed behind Tiemu Changyuan every day, fanning Tiemu Changyuan.

Tiemu Changyuan's style made the big dog and the second dog can't help but think of Baili Wenfeng.

Baili Wenfeng is also a person who is afraid of heat.

In the summer, there is no ice in the room.

Sometimes, when Baili Wenfeng walks past them, they all feel that this person's body is cold.

At first, they were worried that the child would freeze.

Baili Wenfeng did suffer from the cold a few times because of this.

However, the problem of being afraid of heat has not been corrected.

He would rather be cold than heat-tolerant.

When they saw Tiemu Changyuan, the big dog and the second dog both remembered Baili Wenfeng:

If the younger brother is here, it will probably be even more exaggerated, right?

Hey, it's good that the little brother didn't come with them.

…………

The two of them thought about it, and they couldn't help but miss the two brothers Baili Wenfeng and Baili Xingchuan.

- I don't know if Xingchuan and the younger brother are doing well in Jingshi, who is not familiar with the place of life?

After Lord Zhao's case is closed, Xingchuan and his younger brother should return to Linyao City, right?

Zhao Duan was also released by the emperor after Tiemu Changhan threw the pot to his deputy.

However, the emperor pretended to be a public servant and took away Zhao Duan's official position and demoted Zhao Duan to a concubine.

After all, the official position of the prefect of Pingzhou, the emperor still has to keep it for the people of the Yihe family.

Of course, under the circumstances at that time, the emperor also knew that the affairs on Pingzhou were tiresome.

And the people of the Yihe family did not stand up and ask him for an official position.

Therefore, the emperor did not immediately appoint the prefect of Pingzhou.

And the reason why he let Zhao Duan go.

One is because the people of the Shuerdu clan reminded him on the side that the people under Tiemu Changhan can continue to go back to be his Zhangzhou prefect if they can't manage it well.

So, Zhao Duan didn't do anything wrong, but the management was more relaxed, so that the thieves had a chance, should he also be released?

The other is because it doesn't matter whether Tiemu Changhan is witty or innocent.

Anyway, Tiemu Changhan, a person who often comes to give him money, can be fine.

Then, naturally, it means that the emperor will be able to continue to receive the money given to him by Tiemu Changhan in the future.

This made the emperor very happy.

was in a happy mood, so he didn't have the heart to hold on to that poor Zhao Duan.

So, after the emperor heard from the Shuerdu clan, he was merciful and only dismissed Zhao Duan.

This is what happened the next day.

Because the emperor took a while Joe.

The decree was not given until the next day.

After Zhao Duan came out of the prison, he was picked up by the Shuerdu clan.

Baili Xingchuan, they didn't have time to meet Zhao Duan.

Although Albugu said that he wanted to receive Baili Wenfeng under the door, it seemed that he regarded these two brothers as people who could be subdued. 51 beautiful

However, when the emperor asked him what he thought of Zhao Duan's treatment.

Albugu said to the emperor without blinking his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhao Duan is just a pure person, and he will kill him if he kills him." ”

If he could, Albugu actually wanted to suggest that the emperor kill that Temu Changhan as well.

However, firstly, although Tiemu Changhan is the concubine of the Tiemu family, he is a nomadic in the end.

And over the years, Tiemu Changhan has sent gold, silver and jewelry to the emperor.

Even for the sake of the gold, silver and jewels, the emperor would not listen to Albugu.

Second, Tiemu Changhan is the concubine's dog.

Because of the relationship between the concubines, Tiemu Changhan did not bite him.

Therefore, it is not good for him to speak ill of Tiemu Changhan before the emperor, so as not to reach the ears of the concubine, make the concubine suspicious of him, and thus expose his identity.

As for Zhao Duan, it was because Albugu was still resentful of the Shuerdu clan's deception to him.

The Yihe family had little friendship with the Shuerdu clan in the first place.

Therefore, once you have a bad relationship, you have nothing to worry about.

The Shuerdu clan may not be as ruthless as the Yihe family.

Because they know that it is better to settle a grievance than to settle it.

Both of them are going to stay in the court for a long time.

It's not a big deal, for the sake of a pure clan, the two families have been calculating each other for hundreds of years, just like the Chiwu family and the Qiyan family......

That's not good.

Although they hate the people of the Yihe family for doing something to their family, they will not easily deal with the Yihe family until they find a suitable opportunity.

But Albugu knew:

He was originally going to upset this court.

He and the Shuerdu clan didn't get along for long.

Therefore, since the people of the Yihe family have already calculated the people of the Shuerdu clan.

Then, now, while the other party has not reacted, Albugu has ruthlessly offended them to death.

- Anyway, if there is such a thing as eye medicine in front of the emperor, the emperor will not go out of his way to go to the people of the Shuerdu clan and tell them about it.

And there is no need to show mercy to an opponent who is bound to become an enemy.

It's like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves......

Call......

Bang la ......

Either they are destroyed, or they hang pitifully from the branches......

Of course, Albugu said so.

The emperor thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "No."

I feel that if I really kill Zhao Duan, I will be too partial to you......"

The Emperor glanced at Albugu and stopped talking.

- He actually wanted to say, "It's a bit embarrassing."

If I really collude with the ministers in the court, I will really become a faint king! ”

However, the emperor pursed his lips and did not say.

Instead, the tongue twirled and changed the word.

It is okay for courtiers to fight among themselves.

The victorious courtiers, whitewashing the peace, put the results in front of the emperor, and the emperor was happy to turn a blind eye.

But if the emperor helps his courtiers to grab other people's official positions......

When the emperor was young, he was taught by so many people.

He originally wanted to become a Mingjun.

Naturally, I know that this is not a good practice.

Therefore, this time, the emperor dismissed Zhao Duan from his post, and gave Zhao Duan a reason why the death penalty could be avoided and the living crime could not be escaped, so it would be good.

- Even if some people think that Tiemu Changhan's punishment is different from Zhao Duan's, Tiemu Changhan has nothing to do.

Zhao Duan was imprisoned for more than a month before being released......

This emperor is eccentric.

In that court, there will also be people who defend the emperor with confidence:

"Then Zhao Duan is a person of the pure race, a person of the pure race, can he be compared to me and other chosen people?"

Ever since the nomads came to dominate the Central Plains from the steppe a hundred years ago, they have always felt that they were chosen by God to govern this land.

A hundred years later, some people still like to call themselves the chosen ones.

I also like to say goodbye to God when I have nothing to do, and get some other natural choices.

For example, the Chosen Officer......

…………

Albugu seemed to see the emperor's thoughts, and with a somewhat amused smile, he said respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty said yes. ”

The emperor did not go to see Albugu.

He also sensed that Albugu had seen his thoughts, and his heart was a little weak.

- And the emperor who was a little weak-hearted and didn't look at Albugu, naturally he didn't see the coldness and contempt that flashed in Albugu's eyes......

After Baili Xingchuan and Baili Wenfeng heard that Zhao Duan was released from prison, they went to Shuerdu's house to visit Zhao Duan.

Zhao Duan has spent some hard days in prison for more than a month.

When the two brothers saw Zhao Duan again, they found that Zhao Duan was almost ten years older than more than a month ago.

However, Zhao Duan's expression was not so decadent.

It can be seen that although Zhao Duan has undergone this change, the blow he has received is not too big.

When Baili Xingchuan saw Zhao Duan, he was very careful not to call Zhao Duan "Lord Prefect" again.

Instead, he shouted, "Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Duan waved his hand and said, "You two little babies, you don't have to call me sir."

If you don't dislike it, just call me Grandpa Zhao. ”

Baili Xingchuan is about the same age as Zhao Duan's grandson Zhao Xincheng.

Therefore, after Zhao Duan no longer has an official position, it is okay for them to call Zhao Duan "Grandpa Zhao".

However, they were afraid that Zhao Duan would suddenly change from "Lord Prefect" to "Grandpa Zhao", which was a bit of a big gap.

I'm afraid that Zhao Duan will feel uncomfortable after hearing this.

Therefore, at the beginning, they called Zhao Duan "Mr. Zhao".

At this time, I heard Zhao Duan ask them to call him Grandpa Zhao.

Baili Xingchuan smiled lightly, and said warmly and politely: "Xingchuan and the younger brother have been living on the streets in their early years, relying on each other for their lives, but they have always wanted an elder.

Thank you Grandpa Zhao for your love. ”

Saying that, Baili Xingchuan made a junior salute in a regular manner.

Hundreds of miles of wind and learning.

Zhao Duan, he was actually a little depressed in his heart.

Anyone who has put in more than 30 years of effort in vain will be hit hard.

However, Zhao Duan was originally more generous.

When he was kind to the people and put himself in the shoes of the people, Zhao Duan actually didn't want the people to remember his kindness and be grateful to him.

- He does not ask for the gratitude of the people, he only hopes that in this land, there can be a place where pure people can live in peace and happiness.

When the people are doing well, he is happy, and he thinks it is worth it.

However, he gave the people a comfortable environment, but he did not make them live as human beings.

But for every individual, for thirty years, a heart must be warmed.

And those people have never been truly free, they only regard Zhao Duan as a protective umbrella and desperately draw nutrients from him.

When Zhao Duan was only left with a shriveled body, they discarded it without hesitation.

- He has been working for thirty years, not a person.

It's a bunch of demons.
