Chapter 6 Emergency Water Reports
Early the next morning, Li Jiangwei entered the palace and went to the Wenhua Palace. Unlike in the past, the guards who usually stood guard in front of the temple gate were now standing under the platform.
Seeing Li Jiangwei approaching, Yue Kang stepped forward to stop the person and reminded softly: "The imperial concubine is discussing important matters now, and I also ask Miss Li to wait." ”
"Can you tell me who is coming?"
"It's the lords of the Zhan Mansion. It is the left concubine's Ji Liang on Ji and the right concubine Zhang Chen Chengzhang. ”
"It turned out to be Master Ji and Master Zhang." Li Jiangwei said suddenly: "Then I'll go to the side hall, after the imperial concubine settles the matter, I hope that the Yue guards can order someone to report it." ”
The Yue guard smiled and said, "The imperial concubine has never delayed the start of class. It should be over soon. ”
As soon as the words fell, someone came out of the Wenhua Palace. Both of them were wearing official uniforms and looked solemn. It seems that the conversation in the Mandarin Hall is not pleasant.
Li Jiangwei stood quietly outside the door, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and watched the two adults leave without a word. Ji Lianglun had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and looked at the person standing by the door.
Li Jiangwei, who was dressed like a palace maid, immediately aroused Ji Liang's interest. He asked, "Are you An Yuanbo's 4,000 gold Li Jiangwei?" ”
Li Jiangwei bowed respectfully and replied, "Exactly." ”
The inquiring gaze swept over Li Jiangwei and then retracted it.
"The Imperial Concubine is waiting inside, you can go in."
"Yes."
Seeing the girl leaving, Zhang Chencheng muttered in a low voice: "Is there any more specific news about Xiajiang?" What does your brother-in-law say? ”
"The Ministry of Industry doesn't know more than we do."
"I don't know what the princess means. What the Ministry of Industry didn't know, the emperor wanted to ask the yellow-haired girl of the Lu family. Three positions, partial students chose a Taibu Order! What is this place? It was a place of divination and prayer to God in ancient times. If the Taibu Department's question is useful, can it be a false duty to this day? ”
"The emperor has her own plans, so we don't have to talk about it. At a critical juncture, you should still believe in the imperial concubine. ”
"Alas......"
The pre-class discussion did not disturb the class, but Zhou Songming was on leave and could not come to Wenhua Hall to listen to the lecture. The two of them are just reading together, and whether they come or not will not affect the progress of the class.
But with one person missing, the huge palace seemed even more deserted.
Li Jiangwei was very concerned about the morning events, and even thought about asking the emperor after class. was cautious, and did not take the initiative to mention it until the end, but found it by Yu Yongqing himself.
"Chengwei, do you know Xiajiang?"
"Yes."
When Li Jiangwei was young, she went to the Xiajiang area with her parents.
"There are floods in many places in Xiajiang, do you know?"
Li Jiangwei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of fear.
"That's the land of abundance! Once Xiajiang is affected, the damage will be incalculable! ”
"Yes......" Chu Yongqing sighed helplessly, "It's hard to measure." ”
There are many people living in the Xiajiang area, and if a disaster occurs. It's not just the economy that's at stake, it's human lives......
However, some areas of Xiajiang are still safe.
At least for now, it's safe.
After Fang Zhou completed a single job with his master, he received a share from his master. Looking at the scattered silver lying in his palm, Fang Zhou couldn't help but laugh.
Soon it would be her sister Fang Lan's birthday, and Fang Zhou counted the silver in his hand, thinking about what gifts to give. After thinking about it for a while, there are few suitable ones.
Fang Lan rarely showed her preferences in front of Fang Zhou, and Fang Zhou couldn't do it even if he wanted to buy it. I had to buy a piece of baked cake and go home, and let my sister have a good meal tonight.
It's decided! Wait until your birthday to buy a roast chicken! Ark thought.
The continuous rainy weather made the ground muddy. The feet of the ark were covered with rain and dirt. Even so, he was happy.
After all, it won't be long before I can eat baked cakes with my sister.
Before they entered the village, a man hurried in the direction of their village on a fast horse.
Ark: Their village is not wealthy, and they may not see horses in the village for several years. There was a faint feeling in his heart, and the movements of his feet quickened, and finally he actually ran.
"Urgent! The water level of the Canghu River is rising, you quickly pack your bags and take shelter from the water! Several villages near the Canghu River have been flooded! ”
When Fang Zhou heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly ran home. Seeing that my sister was still doing needlework, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister!" Fang Zhou shouted, "Let's hurry up and clean up the things we had in front of the house!" Let's hurry up and follow the village chief and them to avoid danger! ”
Before his sister could react, Fang Zhou was already rummaging through the house's belongings and packing his bags. Subsequently, several neighbors in the vicinity also received the news from the village chief one after another, and they were also busy.
It was the first time that the two siblings had left the village at the same time.
Fang Lan, who was carrying her bags, looked at the somewhat dilapidated house, and felt very reluctant.
"Sister, we'll be back, let's go."
"Hmm."
The Canghu River is the largest tributary of the Luojiang River in the Xiajiang area. The water level of the Canghu River rose rapidly, exceeding the safe water line. The urgent telegram was soon delivered to Beijing and placed in front of the emperor's desk.
As time passed, the number of people affected by the disaster continued to rise, the economic losses were severe, and the people had nowhere to live. A large number of victims poured into the nearby higher ground in Linsu and Xinquan.
After learning of the contents of this report, Yu Yongqing immediately summoned everyone in the Zhan Mansion to discuss the incident.
"Tomorrow in the court, my father will definitely inquire about this matter. Do you have any ideas? ”
Zhang Chencheng said: "Since the emperor is so worried about the people, why don't you take over the disaster relief?" In this way, it can increase the prestige of the imperial concubine among the people, and also let the people in the court know the ability of the imperial concubine. ”
"No." Ji Liang retorted: "The foundation of the imperial concubine in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household is unstable, and she has little understanding of local forces. Taking the liberty of disaster relief is not good for the emperor. ”
"I don't know what Master Ji thinks?" Right Zhongyun Gu Hao asked.
"Local relationships are intertwined and unshakable. It's good that this disaster relief went well, but if there were other things involved in the disaster relief, we wouldn't be able to deal with it......"
"Master Ji......" Zhang Chencheng suddenly understood, and said: "Speaking of the local ink corruption incident? ”
"I didn't say that." Ji Liang said on the right color: "It's just that the imperial concubine's wings are not yet full, and everything needs to be cautious." ”
Yu Yongqing looked anxious and said, "What is the difference between this proposal and evasion?" Afraid of getting on fire, he avoided this matter and ignored the people of the world? ”
"The emperor has a point." Zhang Chencheng said: "It's a big trouble, if we can't save the people and the fire, then what is the use of our official uniform!" Master Ji......"
"Definitely." Ji Liangyan replied indifferently: "I didn't mean to let the imperial concubine avoid this matter, it's just that it's inconvenient for the imperial concubine to come forward now." Among the emperor's heirs, the most suitable for disaster relief is the third prince. ”
After hearing this, Yu Yongqing thought to herself.
Zuo Zhongyun on the side was shocked and said, "Once the third prince completes this matter!" Then he became the Emperor's biggest opponent! Isn't your proposal inappropriate? ”
"Can the emperor trust Ji?"
