The capital was full of water, and the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, who had maintained law and order, dispatched a large number of people to take care of the Yongding River dam, so some of the small people in the city gradually became restless, and there were many robberies taking advantage of the fire.

Faced with such a situation, the imperial court naturally had to make a heavy hand to rectify it, and I don't know who made the suggestion, and soon, Jinyiwei received the task of patrolling the capital. In this regard, Yang Zhen naturally knew that Feng Bao must have made a secret effort in it, because this errand was thankless, if something really went wrong, their guilt would naturally be not small, even if Jin Yiwei was careful with everything, it would not be possible to have any credit in the end.

However, since the meaning of the cabinet has been conveyed, Yang Zhen, the current leader in the Jinyi Guard, is not easy to shirk, and hurriedly dispatched manpower to various places in the capital to prevent and control it. Fortunately, today's Jinyi Guards have been trained by Yang Zhen to be quite elite, so that they can rest assured that such an important errand will be handed over to them to deal with.

But even so, Yang Zhen didn't dare to take it lightly, and decided to stay in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division for the next period of time to deal with the big and small problems that might arise at any time. But before that, at dusk, Yang Zhen went home first.

After Haosheng appeased Zhang Jingyun for a while, and explained to the servants at home that he should guard the door of the house when he was not there, not to go out at will, and to hurry to the Zhenfu Division to find himself if something really happened, Yang Zhen wanted to return to the yamen with some daily belongings.

But just when he came to the vicinity of the second gate, he saw his brother Yang Chen's eyes blank, and he staggered in, as if he had lost his soul. As soon as Yang Zhen saw it, he hurriedly asked his Jinyi guards to take things out first, and he greeted him and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you, why do you look like this?" ”

After being pulled by his brother like this, Yang Chen came back to his senses a little, his expression suddenly tightened, and said: "Erlang, something really happened this time, and the Yongding River is likely to burst its embankment!" ”

"What?" Yang Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and quickly pulled his brother into the small hall on the side, and after making sure that no one was coming, he hurriedly said, "Big brother, why did you say this?" Do you remember anything? He only said that Yang Chen, with the memory of his previous life, remembered that there was a record of the great flood in the capital at this time.

But Yang Chen shook his head lightly: "No, as far as I know, there is no such thing in the records, but I am seventy or eighty percent sure that Yongding River will suffer this time." ”

"What do you mean by that?" If it were someone else, our Jinyi Wei Zhenfu would have heard this, but I am afraid that he would have ordered someone to arrest this guy who is talking nonsense and disturbing people's hearts. But when his brother said this, he didn't dare to despise it, and quickly asked, "Big brother, how do you judge that such a disaster will occur?" ”

"I ...... Didn't you wonder why I was ostracized in the Ministry of Works? It's because of this Yongding River barrage. At that time, as soon as I arrived in the capital, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry received such an order, and many officials proposed various methods and locations for building gates. Among them, the squire Weng Ruda proposed the location of the current sluice, because the river is tightly guarded, which can greatly reduce the amount of work. And I, after looking at the topography over there, was resolutely opposed, and even had a lot of arguments with Weng Shilang.

"This Weng Shilang was very powerful in the Ministry of Works, and he had a close relationship with Shangshu Guo Chaobin, so in the end they not only vetoed my proposal, but also reprimanded me. After that, because I didn't want the court to make a mistake, I went to the cabinet alone to explain the reason...... As a result, this piece of music somehow fell back into their hands, so everyone regarded me as a person who informed and betrayed me, and wantonly excluded me......" In the end, Yang Chen unconsciously sighed deeply.

Yang Zhen listened, and his expression also looked very serious: "Big brother, there is indeed something wrong with you, you have already committed a taboo in officialdom by being so alone, no wonder you are struggling these days." ”

"At that time, I just wanted to stop them from making this wrong decision, and I didn't think much about it at all. As a result, they were told to get things done. In fact, if it was just a gate, things would not be so bad. But now, once the imperial court has made up its mind to open the floodgates and drain the water, the problem is extremely serious. Yang Chen grabbed Yang Zhen's hand a little eagerly: "Erlang, you must believe me." ”

"Big brother, I naturally believe in you. But you'll have to tell me what's the danger of opening the gates. ”

"The terrain over there ......" Yang Chen repeated what he had persuaded Guo Chaobin before, and then emphasized: "Once the river backs up, the waterlogging that has been accumulated in the capital will increase several times, and at that time, it will be really a big disaster." ”

After Yang Zhen heard these words, his expression also changed sharply, becoming extremely serious: "If it is really as you said, big brother, things will really get out of control, and we must hurry up to stop them from opening the floodgates." ”

"Yes, but they won't listen to me, I'm afraid tomorrow, everything will be irreparable." Yang Chen stomped his feet violently and said very uneasily.

"Big brother, you don't have to be anxious, leave this matter to me, I will definitely not let such a tragic thing befall Beijing." Yang Zhen hurriedly comforted his brother, and then left the house quickly.

However, this time, Yang Zhen did not rush to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, but rushed directly to Zhong Yu's mansion. This matter is above the officialdom, and the only thing that can stop the people of the Ministry of Industry from doing things indiscriminately is the power of officialdom. For a while, the only helper Yang Zhen could think of was Zhong Yu.

After winning the fight between Jinyiwei and Dongchang last time, for the sake of his own image, Zhong Yu consciously distanced his relationship with Yang Zhen. After all, in the eyes of officials, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are the same dog, and no one is more noble than the other, so it is better not to have anything to do with them. And Yang Zhen also understood Zhong Yu's position, although he was grateful to the other party for helping him in the trial of the three divisions, he did not come to thank him, and he was honest.

So for Yang Zhen's sudden arrival, Zhong Yu really felt a little strange. However, the relationship between the two is good after all, and he knows that Yang Zhen is not a person with no purpose, and the capital is in dire straits, so after a little hesitation, he still invited Yang Zhen into his study for a meeting.

And after listening to Yang Zhen's story, Zhong Yu's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "If it is really like what you said, Erlang, this matter is too serious." ”

"I trust my eldest brother's judgment that he is still very experienced and capable in water conservancy." Yang Zhen solemnly hugged his fists and said: "So I hope that Lord Zhong can think of the safety of the capital and the people and help this favor." ”

"Okay, I'll go into the palace to see Your Majesty and the Pavilion Elder, explain the benefits and disadvantages to them, and let them postpone the opening of the gates!" Zhong Yu is not a hesitant person, and he knows that the situation is urgent, so he immediately agreed, and Yang Zhen could not continue to be polite, so he let his subordinates prepare a sedan chair. Because of the current situation in the capital, several cabinet officials stayed in the palace all day, and the palace gate, which was originally forbidden to enter and exit after sunset, was also much loosened in the past two days.

It wasn't until the sedan chair that saw Zhong Yu leave in a hurry disappear into the night that Yang Zhen relaxed a little. But he didn't realize that in the darkness near him, there were several pairs of eyes that shimmered with strange light staring at the sedan chair, revealing a thoughtful look.

The rain did not stop this night, but tended to increase. Although Yang Zhen couldn't get drenched in the rain in the yamen of the Zhenfu Division, his heart was not at peace, and he spun around in the room from time to time all night. Not only did he not be able to feel at ease by the errand in his hand, but now that there were more things about the downstream gate, no matter how big his heart was, it would be impossible for him to sleep peacefully this night.

After daybreak, some of the brocade guards who were patrolling the night hurried back with tired steps to give orders. Yang Zhen's calming man naturally couldn't snub them, and after the good students praised and comforted them, he sent them to rest. And he himself, in addition to quickly dispatching people to take over the patrol work, called a close attendant beside him: "Can Lord Zhong or someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate bring news?" According to his calculations, as long as Zhong Yu has the result, he should bring a letter to himself now.

But his subordinates' answer made him frown very much: "Lord Hui, no one has brought news." ”

"Really?" Yang Zhen muttered in a low voice, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. This matter is not only related to the reputation of the elder brother, but also has a lot to do with the safety of the capital and the people, how can he not be concerned?

"No waiting!" After a little hesitation, Yang Zhen still decided to take the initiative to find the answer, and immediately strode out of the inner hall, ordering someone to prepare a horse, and he wanted to rush to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to ask Zhong Yu about the situation.

But as soon as he left the gate of the Zhenfu Division, he saw a man dressed as a subordinate rushing over, and he still had some impression that this person was the person from Zhong Yu's mansion.

Seeing that the people who were waiting finally came, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and jumped off the horse. It's just that when that person came to him, Yang Zhen's heart shook again. Because the face of the person who came was also full of anxiety: "Yang Zhenfu, please save my master." He didn't come back after he went out last night, and the little one went to the yamen and the palace to inquire, and they said that my lord had never been there......"

"What did you say?" Yang Zhen's expression changed greatly when he heard this, and he grabbed the man's collar, and he was about to lift the person. It wasn't until the man repeated what he had just said that Yang Zhen let go of his hand a little dejectedly, and there were words in his mouth: "How could such a strange thing happen, Lord Zhong obviously went to the palace, why did he disappear?" ”

And after muttering a few words, Yang Zhen's face became serious again, this time things are even more troublesome, without Zhong Yu's words, wouldn't this river gate be opened today?
