This sudden change of the imperial court, just like the current torrential rain in Beijing, caught everyone off guard, not to mention that many civil and military officials couldn't understand it, and even a few members of the cabinet couldn't see it clearly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Dongyang had already arrived in Jingxian County, standing on the edge of the mouth of the broken embankment, thunder and lightning in the sky, heavy rain was pouring down, and the cabinet ministers appeared here in person, and of course other officials, big and small, did not dare to rest at home, and each wore a coat and braved the rain to persuade him by the embankment, and asked Li Dongyang to go to the county government to supervise, this place is extremely dangerous, and once something happens, no one can afford to take it.

At the top of the embankment, temporary recruits were forced to carry bags filled with gravel into the breach in the rain under the supervision of the servants, trying to block the embankment.

In fact, the local officials know better than anyone else, especially the river governor who accompanied him is like a mirror in his heart, such a turbulent river is venting towards the breach, with such a little people's strength, it can't be blocked at all, plus the sky is not beautiful, the heavy rain is still pouring, and now urging the people to block the breach, it is simply a joke.

But everyone knows, but Li Daxue may not know, he is a Qing nobleman, where do you know these famous halls, at the moment these efforts are just for Li Dongyang to see, let this Daxue know that Jingxian County and Hegong Yamen have done their best, sometimes Shangguan does not want the result, but needs to see the process with his own eyes, as long as you see that you are trying all kinds of ways, even if you can't block it, at least you can have an evaluation of hard work without merit.

The people were rolling in the mud, and the servants were shouting loudly in the wet, and it was a lively scene.

But Li Dongyang's face was very gloomy, with dark clouds on his head, and the heavy rain was pouring down from under the hat like a waterfall, Li Dongyang was very angry, he was not a fool, of course he understood what these people were doing. But he didn't say anything, just stood here and saw the rapids mixed with countless mud and rocks rushing towards the ridge of the flat river.

"My lord, I can't stay here any longer, my lord's body is very important, and go back to the county government to change into clean clothes, drink a sip of hot tea, no, take a sip of ginger tea, and take a good rest." There are officials here to take care of ...... "It is the county order of Jing County who is persuading hard, Jinshi of Hongzhi for three years, has just been transferred from the Ministry of Rites to this Jing County, named Li Ruyi, this Li Ruyi is still Li Dongyang's protégé, but in front of everyone, he did not dare to call Li Dongyang a blessing, he persuaded him bitterly, tears were about to flow out, but he was interrupted by Li Dongyang in the middle of his words.

Li Dongyang stared at him gloomily, and shouted: "Li Ruyi, when you were in the court, you were so loyal, I didn't expect that even you would become like this, hmph, do you think this trick can hide from the world?" Have you eaten all your teachings and teachings with dogs? ”

Li Ruyi was startled, and hurriedly knelt down in the mud, and said, "Xiaguan deserves to die." ”

Li Dongyang didn't move, he didn't even look at him with his eyes, he just stared at the break in a daze, standing in front of this breach, even he, a scholar, became incomparably small, between the wind roaring, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain between the majestic heaven and earth, he was like a fine sand.

But the old body was not bent by the heavy coat, he stood straight, indescribably desolate, the wrinkles under the bags under his eyes were soaked with water, and the angry eyes gradually softened.

When the water is clear, there is no fish, this is his way of life, and it is also the truth that he has summed up in the sea for decades, he is not Xie Qian, he is not the kind of person who wants to smash everything and start over, he is familiar with all kinds of selfish desires of people, so he was angry, but he didn't say anything.

"Zi Si ......" Li Dongyang's voice is not small, in this kind of weather, if the voice is lower, others will not want to hear it.

Zisi is Li Ruyi's word, Li Ruyi listened to Li Dongyang call him like a nephew, which made him feel relieved, and he hurriedly responded: "The lower official is here." ”

Li Dongyang said: "Evacuate these people and let them go back, in the future, when the disaster passes, they don't know how much effort they will have to spend to rebuild their homes." Gather all the officers and scatter them to the embankments to observe the movement of the embankments at any time, and to warn them of any embankments that are in danger of being washed away. Also, let the local military households be ready at any time to assist in the relocation of the people, and those people whose homes have been affected by disasters will all settle in the county town, and you will send some people to settle them. ”

Li Ruyi was embarrassed in his heart, so many victims had to settle down, where could the county government deal with it, but at this time, he didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the lower officials know, please rest assured." ”

Li Dongyang nodded, sighed, didn't say anything more, and said for a long time: "Let's go, go back to the county office." ”

A cadre of attachés followed Li Dongyang into the sedan chair, and the group braved the rain to return to the county seat, fortunately, the county seat of Jingxian County is not in a low-lying area, but even so, the water accumulated on the ground still overflowed the shoes, Li Dongyang sat in the sedan chair, opened the sedan curtain, let the wind and rain pour in, and saw that there was no figure on the street, all the shops along the street were closed, even if someone opened the door, it was also a dustpan or a water ladle to pour out the rainwater that had overflowed into the home.

He didn't say a word, and he didn't know if he was thinking about the early morning court meeting, or what he had just seen and heard on the river embankment.

When I arrived at the county office, someone braved the rain to greet him, this person was an errand officer, and he almost shouted in the rain with his throat: "Beijing Division Urgent Report, Beijing Division Emergency Report, Urgent Transmission, County Honorable ......"

"No noise! The elder is here. "Someone went and called him.

The officer immediately shut up.

Li Dongyang's eyelids were raised, and when the sedan chair entered the county government, he stopped steadily under a long corridor, and when Li Dongyang got off the sedan chair, several messengers came to pick him up with umbrellas, and when Li Dongyang got off the ground, entered the corridor, and then entered the lobby of the yamen, and the rest of the attachés also followed up, Li Ruyi greeted loudly: "Quick, make a charcoal fire, boil ginger soup, you have broken your legs, go quickly." After that, he came over to Li Dongyang and said, "Adults sit less, and the lower officials ......."

Li Dongyang had a calm face and asked lightly: "Someone just shouted that the Beijing division was urgent, calling the messenger to come, and the old man wanted to see it." ”

Li Ruyi was bored, so she had to squeeze out a smile and say yes repeatedly.

The hot tea and the urgent report were sent together, in addition, there was also an errand who put a brazier at Li Dongyang's feet, Li Dongyang suddenly felt hot, but his mood was cold, he picked up the urgent report, unwrapped the seal, and then looked at it.

Immediately, his face changed slightly, but his indifferent eyes were full of surprise.

Something went wrong...... At noon, the Jinyi Guard poured out of the nest, and for some reason, the long street and the city gate had been blocked, rumors spread in the Beijing Division, and what was even more surprising was that a team of captains suddenly surrounded the house of Liu Ji, a university scholar.

What does Jinyiwei want to do? Liu Chengfeng: What is this trying to do?

Li Dongyang narrowed his eyes, he couldn't help but still have doubts in his heart, or what did the emperor want to do? The information revealed here is too incomprehensible, and the house of the scholar is surrounded, and what Li Dongyang wants to figure out is whether this matter was done by Liu Chengfeng without authorization, or at the behest of the palace.

If this is Liu Chengfeng's unauthorized action, this Liu Chengfeng is inevitably too bold, Zhou Cheng's matter is not over, he dares to risk the world's disapproval and lead someone to hit Liu Ji's head, Liu Ji is indeed finished, it can be seen from the attitude of the palace towards him, but even if people are snubbed, it is by no means something that Jinyiwei can be contemptuous at will.

But what if the palace ordered it?

Li Dongyang didn't believe it very much, the emperor would never do such a thing, even if the emperor didn't like Liu Ji anymore, he would not have such an excesses, it was a big deal to let him be a leader, why should he make such an earth-shattering fuss.

Sky...... It's changed...... In fact, Li Dongyang felt a little clue earlier, since when? It should be seven or eight days ago, the emperor's various signs are strange, and many of his behaviors seem to have changed a person, just this morning this court meeting, what the emperor did can be described as shocking, I didn't expect that it was only a long time, and such sensational things came out in the capital again.

Finally...... What happened, Li Dongyang couldn't figure it out for a while.

But now it seems that things are not small, and next, even more earth-shattering things will happen in Jingshi.

Li Ruyi, who was standing on the side, saw that Li Dongyang's face had changed slightly, and couldn't help but say cautiously: "My lord, there is nothing big happening on the Jingshi side, right?" ”

"Huh?" Li Dongyang came back to his senses, and then his eyes fell on Li Ruyi, and then he said very calmly: "Something happened, well, didn't the old man tell you to resettle the victims?" Go ahead, no matter what, as long as it's settled, it's still your credit. ”

Li Ruyi nodded, but he knew that things must be unusual, he was a smart person, and at this time he was just wondering in his heart, what kind of emergency report could make the cabinet minister so uneasy.

"Zisi, come back." Li Dongyang suddenly opened his mouth again, and then ordered: "The disaster situation here, all yamen must not be lazy, you immediately go to prepare a sedan chair, the old man will return to Beijing overnight, and you can't be lazy about the resettlement of the victims, go quickly." ”

"Ah......" Li Ruyi couldn't help but exclaim, and said: "Go back to Beijing overnight, my lord, it's pouring rain outside, and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, it is said that many roads have been washed down by rocks and mudflows. ”

Li Dongyang's tone was extremely resolute, and he said: "If you want to go, you will prepare, the old man has made up his mind, you don't have to say much." ”

Li Ruyi was helpless, but there was no joy in his heart, no matter what, Li Dongyang was gone, and he was happy to be beaten by no one, this big Buddha in this county, always teaching people to be uncomfortable.
