The Shi family in Dongting County, since Kong Xiang and Shi Kai left with Zhang You, this place has become a place of sensitivity, bright and dark, twelve hours a day, there are always people constantly monitoring here. According to reason, the common people have always been timid and afraid of things, in this case, it should be a lot of people, but they don't want to, but there are more people than before.

Left and right neighbors, seven aunts and eight aunts, everything is one thing inside and out, they are all good neighbors and good relatives, and they will be promoted in the future, but don't forget the big guys.

The eyes of the masses are bright, Shi Sanluo, who was once ridiculed by others, fell again and brought back a friend, but it was Zhang You, the governor of Jinyi Wei, Zhang Zicheng, this is a big joy that is not easy to meet when there is green smoke on the ancestral tomb, don't forget, that is a red man in front of the Son of Heaven, a little bit of good words, the future of Master Shi can be worse?

Naturally, it is inevitable to mention Kong Xiang, an old county man for more than ten years, selfless and upright with an iron face, and now he has been taken away by Governor Zhang, I am afraid that Zhang Shunsheng, who has been powerful for many years, should be unlucky.

This morning, Kong Daozhen came to the door with a pound of sesame candy, he came early, and the people who visited the door had not yet come to the door, looking at the food on the board, he couldn't help but smile at his sister-in-law: "Look, Wen Chang hasn't become an official yet, when will he really become an official, and the threshold of your family will not be flattened?" ”

"The eldest brother laughed, the little sister who is close and distant is still clear," Shi Kongshi took the hemp candy, took out a piece and stuffed it into the mouth of the second girl, and asked Kong Daozhen: "Don't you have any news of their father yet?" What kind of medicine is sold in Lord Zhang's gourd? ”

While chewing, the second girl blinked at Kong Daozhen and asked vaguely, "Uncle, grandpa and my father won't have an accident, right?" ”

"Don't worry, what kind of person is Master Zhang, all the brocade guards in the world are under his command, and with his protection, your grandfather and your father are very safe. As for what Master Zhang thinks, he says that he has eight tricks, but I can't guess. The latter sentence is an answer to Shi Kong's.

"Big brother hasn't eaten yet, has he? Let's eat some rice porridge with the rice porridge I made. Shi Kongshi knew that it was useless to ask, and took the initiative to change the topic.

The three of them sat around the table, and the two adults couldn't eat anything, so they ate a little hastily, and as soon as the table was cleaned up, another neighbor came to the door. They are all women, and there are many inconveniences, so Kong Daozhen said a few words of greetings and was about to leave.

"Boom ......"

A thunderous voice suddenly sounded from the east, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly.

Everyone changed color at the same time, and exclaimed in unison: "What's the matter? ”

"It's a sunny day, what kind of thunder is it?" After the initial shock, a woman said with a pale face as she stroked her chest.

Shi Kong's heart palpitated, and he took over the conversation: "It's not like thunder, big brother, go to the street and inquire, this sound is sudden, it doesn't seem like a good thing." ”

Without her saying that Kong Daozhen couldn't stay anymore, she nodded when she heard the words, and without squeaking, she walked out of the gate of the Shi family quickly.

With this layer of changes, the women didn't have the heart to stutter, and after being let into the house by Shi Kong's family, they were absent-mindedly idle, in fact, they were all waiting for Kong Daozhen's reply.

This wait was more than half an hour, there was movement at the gate, Kong Daojing rushed in with a white face, and all the women saw this and greeted them out of the house, chattering:

"What's going on, Young Master Kong?"

"Is it thunder?"

"It can't be that someone did something unconscionable and was hacked by Lei Gong, right?"

Kong Daozhen took a breath, listened to this messy question, and smiled bitterly: "What kind of thunder is not thunder, it is the embankment on the east side of Dongting Lake that has collapsed!" ”

"What?" All of them gasped at the same time, looking at Kong Daozhen in amazement, unable to believe their ears.

"This time, I don't know how many people will die!" Kong Daozhen sighed, the place where the embankment burst is the most important embankment, and the north is Huarong County. And that's not all, as a large amount of water from the lake will eventually flow into the Yangtze River, causing a sudden rise in water levels, which will catch the downstream off guard and cause significant losses.

Thinking of this, his mood became heavier and heavier, and at the same time, he became more and more puzzled: it did rain for two days a few days ago, but how big can the spring rain be, how can the embankment at the good end collapse?

Ten days later, due to the sudden burst of the embankment of Dongting Lake, the water level of Taihu Lake rose suddenly, the embankment burst, more water poured into the Yangtze River, and the coastal losses were heavy, not counting, but also washed out the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the Zhenjiang section, after the water flowed, a large amount of sediment was blocked in the canal bed, and countless grain ships transported north were stranded on the southern line of the canal, and the river surface was lined with thousands of sails, although the scene was very spectacular, but it made people not have half a point of joy.

The news transmission lagged, however, the news that the grain ship could not arrive in Beijing on time still reached the cabinet at the fastest speed six days later, and the cabinet ministers did not dare to slack off, headed by Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing, Yu Youding, and the new Dongge University scholar Xu Guo (according to the record of "Shenzong Benji", the time when this person officially entered the cabinet should be the eighth day of April in 1583, and the current time is 1582, the butterfly effect is only, don't be more serious), the four of them entered the palace together, and handed over the card to see Zhu Yijun.

At that time, Zhu Yijun had just returned to the Qianqing Palace from the Wenhua Palace, and when he heard that the four auxiliary ministers asked to see him, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly ordered them to come in.

"Adults, what kind of wind is blowing today, why are they all here?" After seeing the gift and sit down, Zhu Yijun asked first, from the heavy faces of the four people, he had already expected that something big must have happened, just kidding, just to adjust his mentality.

After the four of them exchanged glances, Zhang Siwei stood up first and took two steps forward to kneel on the ground again, and said heavily: "The stakes are very high, and your subordinates dare not hide it at all, long live Lord, Dongting Lake and Taihu Lake burst their banks, washing away the Zhenjiang section of the canal, resulting in a large number of grain ships stranded, and it will take four months at the fastest to officially open to navigation...... Hooray, are you alright? ”

Rao is already mentally prepared, after hearing the news, Zhu Yijun still felt that his eyes were dark, and he was dizzy for a while.

"Imperial Doctor, Hurry up and announce Imperial Doctor!" Shen Shixing yelled at the little eunuch next to him, but was stopped by Zhu Yijun, who had woken up: "Don't call the imperial doctor, I'm fine, I can't die!" ”

These words jumped out of his teeth one by one with gritted teeth, his face was pale, obviously he was angry to the extreme, seeing this situation, the three of them couldn't stand still, knelt down next to Zhang Siwei, and shouted in unison: "Long live the anger, the ministers are guilty!" ”

"What are you guilty of causing the lake to burst?" Zhu Yijun sneered, and gradually calmed down: "Don't talk nonsense, Jingshi can't go without food for a day, let's talk about it, how to deal with this matter?" He vaguely guessed the truth, because he didn't ask the reason, but directly mentioned the countermeasure.
