As Zhang Fang judged, because it was not the news period, the serious consequences of the Weishui levee burst far outweighed the actual losses in terms of impact. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter all, Chang'an is the imperial capital.

The water quickly receded, leaving a mess in its wake.

Jingshi suffered this catastrophe, as the Son of Heaven, he naturally wanted to sin his own mistakes, and issued an edict saying: "Gai Wen is born with all the people, and they can't govern each other, so they will set up a king to govern them." If you have the way, the grass and trees and insects will be salty; If the king is not virtuous, he will see the heavens and the earth, and the disaster will be different, so that he will not be cured. I am dabbling in the way, and I am very afraid of making mistakes. The secretary of state thinks about his mistakes and understands Chen Zhi. The county was flooded, and the people were killed by thousands. The Jingshi falsely said that the flood was coming for no reason, and the people were frightened and ran to the city. The cruel and profound officials have not stopped, and Yuan Yuan has been wronged and derelict in his duties. Send Dafu Lin and others to follow the world. ”

The after-effects of the flood were far more than that, as the flood receded and an officialdom shook out.

Wang Zun, the new Si Li Lieutenant (the former Si Li Yuanfeng was killed), wrote to impeach Prime Minister Kuang Heng and the imperial historian Zhang Tan for the following reasons: 1. When Shi Xian was in power, Kuang Heng and Zhang Tan's corpses were vegetarian, and they turned a deaf ear to Shi Xian's actions, but flattered Shi Xian in every way; After Shi Xian stepped down, the two came up to make up for it and wrote a letter to impeach Shi Xian violently; On the whole, it is not only incompetent, but also shameless. 2. When the Weishui burst the embankment, Zhang Tan was drunk and lay at home, and he didn't know that the flood had arrived, and he was carried up to the attic by his family to avoid it. The next day, the court meeting was even more afraid, and he really shouldn't be a courtier. 3. Prime Minister Kuang Heng, whose family occupies 400 hectares of official land, has a bad impact, and his crime is obvious, so it is not appropriate to continue to serve as the head of the hundred officials.

The imperial historian Zhang Tan wrote a letter to apologize and resigned. Prime Minister Kuang Heng also resigned.

For Zhang Tan, the facts are clear, the impact is very bad, and Liu Biao resigned. The post of Imperial Historian was replaced by Imperial Historian Yin Zhong. As for Kuang Heng, Liu Biao asked for a clear investigation before he spoke. As a result, in less than half a month, Kuang Heng took the initiative to resign again, and this time Liu Biao agreed.

Some people don't understand it, but some people understand it -- it is obvious that this is a problem, and Prime Minister Kuang Cheng took the initiative to resign, so that the guilt will be reduced and the face of the court will be good-looking.

The veteran of the two dynasties, the model of the scholar, Kuang Cheng, finally went down. The successor was Wang Shang, the left general who strongly admonished the Son of Heaven in the Chang'an flood incident and showed a firm and eye-catching performance. The general was appointed prime minister, which was almost unimaginable in the dynasties after the Sui and Tang dynasties, but in the Han Dynasty, it was normal, and there was no obvious civil and military boundary. The military generals wrote the cursive army, and the Wenchen beat the crazy Hu, and they also played well.

Wang Shang finally reached the pinnacle of his life.

But at the same time, Wang Shang also formed an inextricable grudge with Wang Feng. Because in Wang Feng's view, Wang Shang climbed to a high position by stepping on himself. The more correct Wang Shang is, the more wrong he is. This man is like a political mirror, showing his mistakes all the time...... As the first minister under one person and above ten thousand, how can you endure?

Regarding Wang Feng's performance during the Chang'an flood, the historian's record is "Feng is ashamed, self-hatred and gaffe".

From then on, the two kings became sworn enemies.

And another eye-catching character, the facial features of the Lang will be released, because he has just been promoted, it is not good to be promoted immediately, so he can only be rewarded with gold silk and increase the number of food and yi by 500 households.

In the words of Liu Biao, who summoned Zhang Fang alone, it was, "This merit will be recorded for the time being, but there will be opportunities in the future, and it will be slowly promoted again." In the future, I will make you a veritable general, no less than your ancestors and marquis. ”

Fuping Jinghou is Zhang Anshi. Zhang Anshi's last position was General Sima Wei.

……

In the first four years of its establishment, disasters did not go alone, Chang'an had a big flood, and Yanzhou followed suit. Snow falls in April, and then the plants unusually blossom and bear fruit in autumn. As a result, the Yellow River broke in Dongjun.

It was a very serious flood. At that time, it rained heavily, and for more than ten consecutive days, the flood peak rose suddenly, wanton and violent, and directly destroyed the area of Guantao, Dongjun and Jindi. The collapse of the embankment caused the flooding of 32 counties in the four counties of Dongjun, Pingyuan, Qiancheng and Jinan. The deepest part of the water is more than 2 feet, and the affected area is more than 10,000 square kilometers. Nearly 40,000 official houses and private houses were destroyed, and heavy casualties were inflicted on people and animals. There is no exact record of the number of people affected, but in subsequent relief operations, the official number of people rescued was more than 97,000.

With the emergency response capacity of the society at that time, how many people were not rescued, I was terrified.

However, in fact, such a catastrophe could have been avoided if it had been handled properly. Three years before the flood, Feng Kuan, the governor of Qinghe County, had already written to the imperial court to pay attention to the problem of flooding in the Yellow River near Qinghe County and Dong County.

Liu Biao still attaches great importance to this matter, and he instructed on the chapter: Please ask the Prime Minister's Office and the Imperial History to supervise it.

The Prime Minister's Office then sent a doctor named Xu Shang to inspect, and after some investigation, Xu Shang came to the conclusion that there are problems, but they are not too serious, and the current state funds are tight, so this matter will be postponed.

Since ancient times, the excuses for government malfeasance have been similar: there is money to build buildings, but there is no money to build schools.

Yin Zhong, who had just become the imperial doctor, didn't know if it was because he didn't pay enough attention to disaster relief, or if it was the first time he had encountered such a major event, and the disaster relief plan proposed was not fast, but also quite empty and lacked operability.

This made Liu Biao very dissatisfied, and issued an edict to severely reprimand him. Poor Yin Zhong, who had just taken over the position of deputy prime minister, had neither qualifications nor the ability to resist pressure, and in fear day and night, he committed suicide in office - yes, suicide.

The leader in charge committed suicide, but someone has to do it.

So, Du Qin, who has bad eyes but is the best at recognizing people, recommended another person to Wang Feng: Wang Yanshi.

Wang Feng has always believed in the "vision" of this think tank, and after talking with Wang Yanshi, he quickly recommended it to the Son of Heaven.

Liu Biao also believed in the general's vision, and soon appointed Wang Yanshi as the messenger of the river embankment to preside over the work of the mouth of the Yellow River.

Wang Yanshi personally went to Dongjun, braved the heavy rain and torrent to investigate the scene, found out the crux of the problem, and decided to plug the stone in Guantao and Jindi. The bamboo cage of four zhang long and nine encircles is made again, and the small stone is held in the middle, which is carried and sunk by two boats, and then the mud and stone are used as obstacles. After 36 days of fighting day and night between the army and the people, the embankment was completed. Finally, at the beginning of March of the first five years of construction (28 BC), the breach was blocked.

Liu Biao was rewarded, Longyan Dayue, promoted King Yonsei to Guanglu Doctor, gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei, and rewarded 100 catties of gold.

In April, in order to commemorate the success of the Huang Dynasty, the first five years of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty were the first year of Heping.

Or this Wang Yanshi, in the third year of Heping, because the Yellow River broke in the plain, Liu Biao sent him to work with the master craftsman Xu Gao and the doctor Ma Yannian to jointly manage the Yellow River breach. After accurate measurement and calculation, Wang Yanshi repaired the river embankment and resumed normal production in only half a year, so that the people on both sides of the strait could live and work in peace and contentment.

As the great writer of later generations said, "Since ancient times, we have had people who worked hard, people who worked hard, people who asked for their lives for the people, and people who sacrificed their lives to seek the law. ”

Wang Yanshi deserves such praise. (To be continued.) )
