Chapter 387: Flooding Jinghua (I)

The early spring of the first year of Qianfeng is a wet spring day, the rain has hardly stopped since March, there is a heavy rain every three or five times, the latest one has lasted for seven days, seeing that the time has come to the beginning of April, the heavy rain still has no signs of stopping.

Yang Zhong's mood has changed from excitement to disdain to disgust and then to irritability now, this is when it comes to excitement, he heard the news of the sinking of the ship of the Xia Tang Dynasty seven days ago, this is great news, he has always been afraid of the Xia Tang Naval Division, this dynasty ship sank, even if the naval division is powerful, how much wind and waves can it set off?

But then Yang Zhong heard accurate news: the reason for the sinking of the ship of the Tang Dynasty was not on the Tang side, but on his own side. It was the god who killed the cavalry, and it was the people who sent people to dive into the Huangshui in the dark night to scuttle these ships, and this matter was heard by Emperor Liang who was very satisfied, and for a time the Taitai Wengu rose a wave of limelight. Seeing that the God Killing Rider was proud, Yang Zhong felt uncomfortable in his heart.

After a period of time, even the soldiers in Huazhou City began to praise the "great achievements" of the Divine Killing Cavalry, and they praised these warriors for their good work, so that they could greatly relieve the siege of Huazhou, and the brothers could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Whenever he heard his subordinates talk like this, Yang Zhong's heart swelled with disgust, he didn't plan to stop his subordinates, but just told himself in his heart that he would definitely find an opportunity to win back a city in the future.

In this way, after a few more days, Yang Zhongyi instructed his subordinates to always pay attention to the situation on the other side of the river, and at the same time, he never relaxed his vigilance. At this time, Yang Zhong had a desire for battle in his heart, he was a soldier, and the value of a soldier was generated in battle, only military merits could make Emperor Liang see his own value, and Yang Zhong firmly believed that his Guangyuan Army's combat effectiveness was higher than that of the Divine Killing Cavalry. With such thoughts, Yang Zhong began to rebel against the sinking of the Tang ship by the Divine Killing Raid, but he really calmed down and thought that once the Tang Navy came to attack the city, he might not be able to hold on.

Such an ambivalence of going back and forth made Yang Zhong almost crazy in these days, and he was jealous of Wengu and even more jealous of Yongwujian, and even planned to order the whole army to build a pontoon bridge for the army to cross the river after the sky cleared.

"Damn! Is there a leak on this day, it hasn't stopped raining for a moment! Yang Zhong stood in the corner tower at the head of the city and began to shout hoarsely, only such a cry could alleviate the grief and indignation in his heart. I think when my father was still there, how could the Guangyuan Army fall into such a field today? If he really dies in battle, how can he go to see his father? The Yang family has been in charge of the Guangyuan Army for three generations, and they must not interrupt the delivery in their own hands, absolutely not!

"Come on, bring me the fire gold!"

Yang Zhong commanded, and his subordinates immediately sent the halberd with a fiery red body and dotted with yellow sand spots on it to Yang Zhong. Yang Zhong stroked the golden halberd, and the familiar feeling of the bloody battlefield returned to his heart.

"What the hell is wrong with me? Since my father left, my mentality has begun to be unbalanced, and the struggle in this officialdom is far more complicated than I expected. Whose fault is it that the imperial court has come to this point? I am a soldier, and I should have fought openly, and those smoky officialdom should not have been involved in me. ”

With Huo Dianjin by his side, Yang Zhong's impetuous heart finally quieted down, as if his father was by his side, and his earnest admonitions had always echoed in his ears. People are like that, once the mindset is adjusted, the perspective and feeling of looking at any problem will change completely.

Yang Zhong looked at the city on the other side through the heavy rain curtain, the rain at this time was even heavier than the previous few days, and the mist that splashed on the water began to permeate the two cities, making it difficult to see each other.

In such weather, no party would make a rash move, Yang Zhong was stunned for a long time, and finally decided to leave the city and return to the mansion. The moment he turned around, he heard a voice, how to describe it? It was like a muffled thunder in the sky.

Thunder? This kind of thunder on a rainy day is not a strange thing, Yang Zhong looked up and took a casual look, spring is originally the season of frequent thunderstorms. Yang Zhong just took two steps and heard a muffled thunder, no, there was no thunder in the sky, Yang Zhong began to stop and listen, and a few more muffled thunders sounded, and they were louder than the previous two sounds, and Yang Zhong judged that the thunder did not come from the sky, but ...... It's from the city of Bingzhou!

Jiang Weizhen knelt on the avenue in the area of the official office of the Sixth Ministry, which was the only way for the personnel of the Sixth Department to enter and exit the official office, and anyone would see him kneeling. Naturally, Jiang Weizhen didn't have an umbrella, he let the heavy rain completely water him, and the rain flowed down his cheeks, and he didn't wipe it, anyway, no matter how he wiped it, it would be useless.

These days are the days when the six ministries and government offices are working normally, and people come and go on this road every day, because of the heavy rain these days, the officials have chosen to stay in the government office, and they have to save the time of going back and forth between their homes and the government office in this heavy rain. Jiang Weizhen began to kneel on this avenue today, and at first it was only seen by a few people, but gradually more and more officials heard about it and came out of the official office to see the excitement.

The reason why Jiang Weizhen knelt on the avenue of the official office had to start from five days ago. Since he went to Huazhou, he hurried back to the capital, and as soon as he returned to Beijing, he immediately wrote a letter bluntly about the possible impact of heavy rain on Huangshui and Huazhou and Bingzhou, such a letter was completed by Jiang Weizhen in a night's time, and he hoped that the book could pass through Shangshu Province and finally arrive in Tianting.

With apprehension and excitement, Jiang Weizhen waited at home for a day and did not receive any reply, he realized that the book was only afraid of being intercepted, so he immediately picked up the pen and wrote the second book, this time it was still those things, but the words became sharper, and it could even be said that it was a little alarmist, his purpose was to arouse the vigilance of Shangshu Province and even the prime minister, and then submit the book to Emperor Liang.

It's a pity that Jiang Weizhen still miscalculated, and he waited for another day and still didn't receive any reply. Jiang Weizhen couldn't wait no matter what, this heavy rain had been falling for five days, and everything would be irreparable if it continued like this, so he decided to go to Shangshu Province to meet him in person.

Whether it is the prime minister or the six books, where can he see such a small degree of support as him, he has been rejected several times, and the reason is very simple: the scholars are not in the official office, and there is no explanation as to where the scholars went. Jiang Weizhen has never given up easily, he immediately went to the prime minister's mansion, and waited at the gate for half a day but couldn't see the prime minister, and the old man's reply was the same: The prime minister is not in the mansion.

When he returned home, Jiang Weizhen didn't close his eyes all night, he thought about it over and over again, trying to find a way to meet the person he wanted to see, and on the morning of the last day, he finally came up with an idea, that is, to kneel in the avenue of the six official offices, and completely make the matter bigger.

Jiang Weizhen also has a good quality, that is, once he decides, he will do it immediately, and he will definitely not drag his feet and look ahead. Jiang Weizhen came to the official office with an umbrella, the official office area of the six ministries is close to the imperial city, and a straight avenue extends to the Tongtian Gate of the imperial city, which is the only way for the officials of the six ministries to enter the imperial city, and it is also the area where the officials of the six ministries work.

"Are you really going to do that?" Shen Ming asked.

"I'm soft-spoken, if I don't come up with this decisive method, I won't have a chance to meet the prime minister, let alone the emperor. For the sake of the beam, I'm going to get out anyway! ”

Jiang Weizhen directly threw away the umbrella, fell to his knees on the avenue with a thud, his eyes kept looking at the imperial city in the Tongtian Gate, and he said lightly: "Master Shen, you better go back earlier, this matter still needs to be done by myself, and you can't be involved." ”

"I really can't help you here, if you have anything else to say, I'll do my best."

"Master Shen" Jiang Weizhen's heart was infinitely grateful, and he still didn't look back, "There should be someone who Master Shen knows among the people who went to scuttle and sink the Tang ship that night, and ask Master Shen to find that person." ”

Shen Ming's face did not change, but he was already surprised in his heart, he did see Huo Qing that night, but he did not tell Jiang Weizhen about it. Jiang Weizhen said it now, which means that he had already seen it that night, how did he do it?

"Master Shen, I believe you didn't deliberately hide it from me, after all, this matter was not a big deal at the time, I'll explain it clearly today." The rain had already begun to wash over Jiang Weizhen's face, he spit out a few mouthfuls of rain and said: "There was a significant change in your expression that night, and the change happened when those people appeared, your eyes suddenly became bright and surprised, this emotion means that you have met a familiar person or object, according to the scene that night, I guess you must have seen an acquaintance." This was originally just an accident, and I didn't want to mention it, but things have progressed to this point, and I really don't have enough energy to spare, maybe the person Master Shen knows can help? ”
