Filling the breach does not mean that the flooding is over.

Luo Shixin found that he didn't know how to control the water was more reliable than the half-hung weir official Zhang Yun, so he didn't care about it, and found that the water level was slowly rising.

The Yellow River lacks a vent, which directly leads to a 10,000-ton flood and a place for catharsis, and the result is that the water level rises and there is a danger of overflowing the embankment. If the water level rises so much that the river embankment is submerged, they will be doing useless work.

After drinking the joyful crowd, they moved in three groups, one group to consolidate the breach of the embankment, one group began to pile sandbags on the embankment to raise the embankment, and the other group continued to transport sandbags by horses: sandbags were indeed a great weapon for flood relief.

Sure enough, the river gradually rose and flooded the dike. Fortunately, Luo Shixin made preparations in advance and raised the embankment, which did not cause accidents.

Dali Temple.

Zheng Shanguo, the Qing of Dali Temple, listened to the report from his subordinates, and his brows were furrowed.

"So, it's really King Yanjun who leaked the information?" Zheng Shanguo was restless and walked back and forth in the main hall of Dali Temple, and Luo Shixin's original "unintentional words" attracted the attention of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Pingyang. Zheng Shanguo of Dali Temple and Qu Tutong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, are both people with great ambitions and outstanding abilities, and they noticed that there may be detailed works that leaked military information, and they began to investigate the matter one after another.

Pingyang is upright, has the heroic spirit of not letting Xu Mei go, and is most disgusted by the villain who leaked secrets and colluded with Fanbang, not to mention that it was also about Luo Shixin, and he was also involved. prompted Li Yuan to angrily order: a thorough investigation of this matter was launched.

Zheng Shanguo sent people everywhere to investigate, judging from the news revealed by Luo Shixin. Li Yi, the general of Yanjun Wang Zuo Yiwei, was the most suspicious: he secretly knew in his heart that if this matter was true, it would be a rare political storm.

Zheng Shanguo is in addition to being Dali Siqing. There is another identity, princeling.

Li Yi is the first person in the princeling military, if this matter is true, it will be a heavy blow to Li Jiancheng.

After checking this step, Zheng Shanguo quietly suppressed the matter and did not tell anyone to know. Si Zhishi, who was sent to the north to investigate today, returned to Chang'an and brought the latest news.

In the words of later generations, Si Zhishi described him as a special investigator. It's a bit of a secret service flavor. The name of the Si Zhishi in charge of the investigation is Li Chong, and his name is unknown, but his ancestors have served as the Si Zhishi of Dali Temple in the past dynasties. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge in this area. On the first day he went deep into the Turkic Khan's court, he sent back the news, and he was 100% sure that someone had revealed the news to Jieli.

Immediately, after a series of investigations, Li Chong noticed that Princess Yicheng was a strange force. Married to the Turkic princess. Yicheng is not an ornament. On the contrary, it has great power. He found out that Jieli had hunted the White Wolf King with the intention of showing off, but soon after returning to the big tent, he immediately transferred troops to rescue Yuyang, and did not meet anyone during this period, and it could only be that Princess Yicheng got the news and then sued Jieli.

Following the line of Princess Yicheng, Li Chong found Li Yi's body, and Li Yi's younger brother Luo Shou appeared in Dingxiang at the same time and had secret contact with the old ministers who fled to the grassland.

It is impossible for such a confidential matter to have 100% human and physical evidence, and the information is leaked. Li Yi has a grudge against Luo Shixin, and Li Yi is one of the few people who know. Luo Shou coincided with the appearance of his meeting and came into contact with the ministers of the Sui Dynasty in Dingxiang.

This kind of indication is enough to show that the leaker is Li Yi, the king of Li Tangtang.

In the face of Zheng Shanguo's suspicion, Li Chong said without hesitation: "I can't be wrong, there were only more than 20 people in the DPRK and China at that time, and Li Yi was the only possibility." ”

Zheng Shanguo hesitated for a while and said: "This matter is very important, Si Zhishi is fortunate, you go down to rest first, wait for me to think about it carefully, and see how to deal with it." ”

Li Chong also knew that the relationship was important, and he took the order.

Zheng Shanguo thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a solution, so he called his henchmen, personally repaired a book, and ordered his henchmen to send it to Henan and hand it over to Li Jiancheng.

Before Li Jiancheng got the news of Li Chong, he was enthusiastically pulling Wei Zheng to talk about the east and west, and he was in a happy mood.

In ancient times, natural disasters and man-made disasters were not as frequent as in later generations, but because of backward scientific and technological conditions, once a natural disaster occurred, the only thing the imperial court could do was to comfort and rebuild after the disaster. If the disaster is severe and causes a plague, in order to prevent more people from being harmed, it is more likely that the affected area will be completely sealed off until the plague is eliminated.

But because of Luo Shixin's suggestion, this time Datang dispatched the army to rescue the victims.

The ability of agile and well-equipped soldiers to save the people is far better than the ability of the people to save themselves.

Especially after Luo Shixin controlled the embankment, their rescue was extremely smooth. He Tang prince Li Jiancheng personally led the crowd to the rescue, and also won high praise, and now he can cause bursts of shouts wherever he goes, and has won the heartfelt love of the people affected by the disaster in Henan.

That's a good feeling!

Li Jiancheng said with emotion: "In the future, if Lone ascends the throne as the emperor, he will be diligent in government and love the people, so that all over the world, thousands of people will be like these disaster victims, and love Lone from the bottom of their hearts." ”

Wei Zheng was stubborn, but he was not pedantic, and he joined the princeling not because of the Confucian law of primogeniture, but because he felt that Li Jiancheng was more suitable than Li Shimin to be the emperor of Li Tang. He once analyzed the current situation in detail and carefully: he felt that the stalls left by the Sui Dynasty were too bad and too bad.

He flipped through the relevant records: in the fifth year of the Great Cause, the population of the Sui Dynasty was 8,907,546 households, and the total number of people recorded was 4,600 and 19,956 people, and during the Wude period, after the Tang Dynasty unified the world, the total population was investigated, and it was found that the total population of the whole world in just 13 years was only more than 2 million households, and the population of the world fell sharply by three-quarters in 13 years, and the loss of more than 30 million people.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no industry, and the development of a qiē depended only on manpower, which was priceless. Wei Zheng felt that what the Tang Dynasty needed was an emperor like Li Jiancheng who could be diligent in government and love the people, put the people first, similar to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, so that he could bring stability to the world, bring a rich life to the people, and restore the people's livelihood to the greatest extent. Instead of being belligerent and fierce, similar to Li Shimin, who is like Han Wu.

Therefore, Wei Zheng did not hesitate to invest in Li Jiancheng's account, and was bent on helping Li Jiancheng defeat Li Shimin.

Regarding Li Jiancheng's ambitious and a little rebellious words, Wei Zheng said happily: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such ambitions, and Zheng will definitely bow to his death." ”

Li Jiancheng also felt a little out of shape, even in front of his henchmen, it was better to say less about some things, and changed the topic: "It's a bit far-fetched, Mr. Wei, tell me how to deal with this matter next?" ”

"Continue to run to the affected areas, and leave the matter of the embankment to General Luo." Wei Zheng answered this question without hesitation.

Li Jiancheng admired: "Mr. is very calculating, so that he can show the general his respect and trust in him, and at the same time, he can win the hearts of the local people, killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone." Lone then wrote a book to praise the general, and continued to put him in charge of the embankment. ”

At this time, Li Jiancheng got a letter from Zheng Shanguo.

The face that was originally full of smiles instantly became hideous.

"How can it be!"

Li Jiancheng slapped the case violently, and Huo Ran stood up.

"Your Highness?" Wei Zheng shouted, his expression was a little dazed, and then he thought that the letter was from Zheng Shanguo, and his heart moved, and asked, "But about General Li Yi?" ”

Li Jiancheng saw that Wei Zheng had guessed it, and handed him the letter and said, "This is unforgivable!" For the sake of personal grievances, ignore the interests of my Datang. If it weren't for General Luo's breakthrough in danger, Yuyang would be in danger, Youzhou would be in danger, and the 50,000 army would be in danger. This Li Yi is simply confused, and he is a bastard. ”

Wei Zheng's face was also pale, and Li Yi's approach was unacceptable to his own people from the same party.

"Someone, go and call the King of Youjun to me!" Li Jiancheng, who has always been gentle and elegant, also moved the real fire at this moment.

"Wait!" Wei Zheng shouted: "What does Your Highness plan to do with this matter?" ”

Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "What else can I do?" Li Yi has helped Gu so much, if even he can't be blessed, who will serve Gu in the future? Fortunately, Zheng Qing is Lone's cronies, and it is not a difficult thing to suppress this matter. As he spoke, he was very happy in his heart.

Zheng Shanguo became famous at an early age, and during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, he was worshiped as the Taishou of Lu County at the age of fourteen. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and Wuwei Taishou Fan Zi Gai in the official assessment, tied for the first place, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold, a thousand pieces of goods, and moved to Dali Temple. Later, Yu Wenhua and killed Yang Guang in order to appoint him as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, followed Yu Wenhua and came to Liaocheng, where he was captured by Dou Jiande. Because of his dislike of Dou Jiande's reckless identity, he came to Chang'an with Li Shentong.

Li Yuan didn't want to see Zheng Shanguo, but Li Jiancheng knew his ability very well, and arranged for him to be the prince's left concubine and the prince of Xingyang County.

After Li Jiancheng confirmed that he was loyal to Zheng Shanguo, he arranged for him to return to his old business as the secretary of Dali Temple, and also served as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Zheng Shanguo was picked up by Li Jiancheng, and loyalty can be guaranteed, so that he can ignore this matter, he can still do it.

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Highness, not only did Dali Temple take over this matter, but the Criminal Department also granted the same appointment. What can be found in Dali Temple, there is no reason why the Criminal Department can't find it, it's just a matter of time. Don't forget, Qu Tutong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, followed His Royal Highness the King of Qin to fight in the south and the north...... It's his people. ”

Li Jiancheng's expression became solemn, he had ignored this before. His second brother Li Shimin is Shangshu Ling, who commands the six departments, and he arranges for the crucial position of Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "What do you think, sir?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "It is not difficult to protect the king of Yan County, but the difficult thing is that between the king of Youjun and General Luo, between the two, who does His Royal Highness choose?" (To be continued......)
