East Palace.

Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng were seated separately.

Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Wei, let Gu take over this position today, I don't know what the purpose is." At this critical time, Lone was really unwilling to leave Chang'an for the sake of the natural disaster in Henan. Yu Wenshi and Xiao Yu are the best candidates. ”

Li Yuan's urine, Li Jiancheng saw it very clearly. He does not deny that his father was a capable and effective king, and at the same time he does not deny that his father was a king who was lazy to the extreme.

No one dealt with this matter, Li Yuan, as the emperor, was forced to stand up as a director, and he was able to handle it beautifully. But if someone is willing to take over things, help or replace him, he will not hesitate to be a hands-off shopkeeper, drill into the gentle township, and be his "emperor".

Although Li Yuan now bears the name of the emperor, as long as he is not blind, he can see that the real deal with the national policy of the Tang Dynasty is the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qin, Shangshu Ling Li Shimin, and the left servant of Shangshu Province to shoot Pei Lian. Li Jiancheng, as the crown prince, the heir of the Tang Dynasty alone took over fifty percent of the government affairs, Li Shimin got three percent and Pei Lin only two percent.

Li Jiancheng believes that if he leaves, Li Shimin will definitely take the slogan of sharing his father's worries and take over the things in his hands to deal with them.

Their two brothers, one of whom had far-reaching influence in politics and the other who were famous in military affairs, each had their own merits.

It was Li Jiancheng who was very jealous of Li Shimin reaching out to him and threatening his advantage.

If it weren't for Wei Zheng's deliberate signal, Li Jiancheng would not have agreed rashly, he had already made a decision in his heart, if Wei Zheng failed to convince him. thought of a way to stay and let Wei Zheng or Wang Qi go instead of him.

Wei Zheng straightened up cautiously and bowed, "His Royal Highness the Prince." Don't underestimate this reinforcement, His Royal Highness doesn't want the crown prince's position to be threatened, and if he wants to ascend the throne safely, he must win the hearts of the people in Henan. Only in this way can we prevent my Datang from being divided into two. ”

Li Jiancheng was surprised: "What do you mean by what Mr. said?" ”

Wei Zheng said solemnly: "His Royal Highness King Qin is a great man in the world, and he has turned into gold with all his patience, and he still does not show the slightest bit of competition with the crown prince. Now he is waiting while he is worthy of his spare effort to run Luoyang. What is the purpose? It's nothing more than leaving a way back for yourself. If the battle with His Royal Highness is lost in the future, he will withdraw to Luoyang and make a comeback. His Royal Highness the King of Qin captured two kings in a battle in Henan. Megatron Huanyu, if he is allowed to take root in Luoyang, it will be a great disadvantage to the prince. Now the Yellow River has burst its banks, and Henan has suffered the biggest disaster since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. All the people are concerned. If the prince can show enough wisdom and courage in this catastrophe. Rescuing thousands of people from disasters will surely be loved by the people of Henan and the world. Throughout the ages, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. In addition, Luo Shixin is brave and good at fighting, and he is good at using soldiers, and if he comes into contact with him, it is not necessary to get his effect. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will certainly lose something when he leaves Chang'an. What can be gained will be far more than what is lost. His Royal Highness the Prince. Please also be aware of it. ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly laughed in his heart: "What Mr. said is very true, if it weren't for Mr. reminding me, I would have missed the opportunity...... Please also go with my husband on this trip to help the lonely. ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Righteousness is not shirked!" ”

At this time, there was a report from outside the house, and Luo Shixin asked to see him.

Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng glanced at each other.

Wei Zheng said solemnly: "Luo Shixin is a person who is both wise and brave, and has a benevolent heart, and has the style of Han Shi Wei Huo. Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, if you can get his help, His Highness will be like a tiger with wings. ”

Li Jiancheng sighed: "I don't know if I'm lonely, but General Luo has a strong temperament, and he is extremely disgusted with this kind of political struggle. Lone felt that he was loyal to my Datang, and he was reluctant to participate in it. ”

Wei Zheng said calmly: "Then there is no need for him to mix, and it is the best policy to win over." Even if you can't get closer, what's the matter? In the future, as long as the crown prince can ascend the throne, the general will still be an indestructible blade! Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have the slightest room for people? The general is not co-opted by His Highness, so His Highness can't tolerate him? ”

"Of course not!" Li Jiancheng made up his mind and said without hesitation: "Don't say that Gu and the general have no grievances, even if he becomes Gu's enemy in the future and falls into Lone's hands, Lone can't bear to kill him." ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "That's it, as a high-ranking person, you must have a mind that embraces all rivers, and there is no talent like General Luo." If you want to achieve great things, whether you are friend or foe, you are worth wooing. ”

As he spoke, the two of them had already walked out of the main hall.

tacitly did not talk until outside the East Palace.

Li Jiancheng warmly welcomed Luo Shixin into the hall and offered tea.

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to speak, Luo Shixin couldn't wait to say: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I came to you specially for disaster relief. Please also ask Your Highness to order the collection of sacks in the safety gate for the entire length of the year, the more the better. ”

Li Jiancheng was puzzled and asked, "What is the use of this collection sack?" ”

"Make sandbags!" Luo Shixin gestured with both hands, the shape of the sandbag, and said: "It is not easy to plug the gap in the Yellow River, and in the face of turbulent water, ordinary methods will not work at all. No amount of mud or grout will wash the rapids clean in the moment of flooding. Sandbags are different, they can collect sediment without being washed away, and can also sink to the bottom of the water in the first place. As long as there are enough sandbags, the gap can be filled in a short time and a temporary levee can be erected. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he saw through the mystery at a glance. He was prepared for funeral at an early age, had a bumpy career, and had rich experience, which also created his talent for governing the country. In the past, he was not allowed to be reused under Li Mi, and was appointed as a local administrative official, responsible for managing government affairs. Li Mi is based on the south bank of the Yellow River, and many places in the territory are often affected by floods.

Wei Zheng also studied how to control the water, and how to repair the embankment to plug the gap when the embankment burst. It is said that wooden piles are driven into the ground as the base, and then the wooden piles are used as support points to build embankments. It is true that a dam can be built in the rushing rapids, but it is extremely dangerous and slow to drive into the piles, which is not conducive to emergency repairs. He also thought hard for a long time, thought of a lot of methods, tried to improve, but the results were not very satisfactory. Especially when encountering strong rapids, it is not as practical as the old method. After all, the old method is clumsy, but it has been tried.

The sandbag embankment method proposed by Luo Shixin is indeed convenient and practical, and it is feasible in principle.

For some reason, Wei Zhengxi said: "This method is fast and feasible, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can follow it quickly." ”

Li Jiancheng also did not hesitate to give an order to equip the sacks.

Wei Zheng said with emotion: "This little sandbag will definitely be of great use this time." The great general's brilliant idea can at least reduce thousands of injuries. ”

"It's great to be able to get results." Luo Shixin replied, but he was completely sure in his heart. Sandbag flood control damming, which was used in the past years of catastrophic floods, is a method that is not clear about the effect and practicality.

Wei Zheng saw that Luo Shixin was full of confidence, and asked: "The general has also studied this Dao, so you might as well say it, and we will discuss it." One person counts the short, two people count the long, a set of good ideas and methods, can also help more people and reduce unnecessary casualties. ”

Luo Shixin pondered for a moment, the knowledge in his mind. In fact, he personally did not know anything about how to fight floods and control water, and he did not bother to study them. However, during the catastrophic flood that year, Luo Shixin himself was in the hardest-hit area of Jiangxi, and he saw and understood some methods and strategies for repairing the embankment.

Don't look at the time it was modern, with modern technology, but in fact, in many places, because of the road, machinery is like scrap metal, which cannot be used. It was the PLA soldiers who stood in the water, carrying sandbags, and purely relied on manpower to repair the embankment.

Luo Shixin elaborated on some of the main points in his memory, what sandbags should be stacked in stacks, and when necessary, he could build a human wall to slow down the rapids, and cover others to repair the embankment.

Wei Zheng was amazed, and memorized the details firmly.

This great ruler has already sorted out a set of roughly feasible plans in his mind.

Luo Shixin had lunch in the East Palace, and after taking out the goods in his stomach without hesitation, he said goodbye and left the East Palace.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This son is so capable at a young age, he is even better than I imagined, and his future is really unpredictable." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded approvingly, he understood Luo Shixin's ability much more clearly than Wei Zheng.

As soon as Luo Shixin left the East Palace, he immediately rushed to Jingzhou, mobilized before the war, and led the 20,000 Tianjie army to the agreed meeting place.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng and other soldiers were not ready, thinking of the wedding date in the thirteenth day, Luo Shixin thought about it, hesitated and struggled slightly, informed Su Dingfang, raised his horsewhip, and came to Zheng's mansion.

Jung In-ki learned that his future son-in-law had come to the door and hurriedly came to see him.

Luo Shixin was not polite, he saluted directly and called his father-in-law.

In ancient marriages, matchmakers and matchmakers were the main communicators, but Luo Shixin had no need to show up, and he was afraid of trouble, so he never appeared. So much so that it is only now that Jung In-ki has had close contact with his future son-in-law for the first time. He saw that Luo Shixin was extraordinary, a talent, and thinking of his heroic deeds, he was also very satisfied with this son-in-law, and he helped him up with both hands and called out cordially: "Virtuous son-in-law." ”

Luo Shixin clarified his meaning with a little shame: "This construction is proposed by me, if I don't set an example in the Tianjie Army, how can I say the past?" What's more, the disaster is urgent and the people are suffering, and I want to do my best to do my part. The son-in-law tried his best to rush back before the wedding, but if the disaster was really severe and he couldn't pull away, he hoped to delay it for a few days. ”

Zheng Renji apparently also heard about the bursting of the Yellow River, as a pedantic scholar who had been trained in Confucianism since childhood. For Luo Shixin's choice, not only did he not have any displeasure, but he fully understood: "Everything is important to the common people, and the virtuous son-in-law cares about the common people, so why bother with the small sections." What's the point of delaying for a few days? ”

At this time, the two still didn't know that Zheng Liwan had let the rolling torrent be swept into the Yellow River. (To be continued......)
