Gu Chengyu put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, no matter what, when it came to promotion, Gu Chengyu got a big advantage in the end, so he hurriedly thanked him!

"Obey! We will do our best to get this matter right. Although Gu Chengyu felt a little embarrassed, he was not stunned.

"Zhong Aiqing, you will go to the Ministry of Officials to handle this matter now, and let the promotion document be drafted by Scholar Zhang of the Hanlin Academy himself."

The emperor couldn't wait for Gu Chengyu to set off for Jiangnan now, but he also knew that he had to let people prepare.

He hesitated for a moment and tore off a token from his waist, "Gu Aiqing!" This is the gold medal I gave you, and seeing the gold medal is like seeing me! If the local officials refuse to cooperate, I order you to be punished severely. When necessary, cut first and then play! ”

De'an's hands trembled when he saw this, this is the gold medal that the emperor has with him!

Gu Chengyu was happy in his heart, with this gold medal, it would be much easier for him to do things. This gold medal is different from the one he went to Hejian Province in the first place, and the authority is greater.

Then the emperor ordered De'an to take out Shang Fang's sword and hand it over to Gu Chengyu. Even if he is as calm as Gu Chengyu, he has to be excited at this moment.

However, after a moment of excitement, something came to mind.

"Emperor Qiqi, before Lord Hu went to Jiangnan with officials as a messenger, and now Weichen is also going to ...... as a messenger."

Gu Chengyu's unfinished meaning was understood by everyone present. In fact, there is no need to ask, there is a gold medal monk Fang Sword given by the emperor, and when he arrives in Jiangnan, needless to say, those officials also know who to listen to.

But after all, Hu Maoshen set off before Gu Chengyu, and he couldn't say that he had arrived in Jiangnan at this time.

People are preconceived, and if Gu Chengyu goes as a messenger, those officials will have to hesitate, not knowing who to listen to. After all, they can't afford to mess with any official!

Moreover, Gu Chengyu's grade is lower than Hu Maoshen after all, and when the two meet, Gu Chengyu, who is also a messenger, is not too good at taking a stand.

"I wrote a handwritten letter, you bring it to Hu Aiqing! This flood in the south of the Yangtze River is up to you to take charge of the overall situation, Hu Aiqing's duty is to assist you, you just have to do it! ”

Gu Chengyu received the emperor's personal consent, and with so much protection in his body, he had a lot of confidence in this trip to Jiangnan.

In fact, when the imperial court sent Qin to inspect the place, most of them would send military generals to accompany them. Qin Cha is a civil official, if there is an accident on the road, isn't it the loss of the imperial court? And I have to send another Qin messenger to go, not to mention the trouble, and delay the big thing.

It's just that the emperor didn't know whether he forgot it at this time, or he didn't mention it intentionally. Gu Chengyu naturally wouldn't mention it, he was already good at martial arts, so he didn't need a military general to accompany him.

With outsiders here, he will inevitably be constrained in doing things.

Gu Chengyu selectively forgot about it, and all the ministers in the Taihe Hall didn't even mention it.

They were still arguing about whether Gu Chengyu was going to be promoted just now, and at this moment, they had some inexplicable feelings about Gu Chengyu in their hearts, so they naturally wouldn't go to much trouble.

If you want to say anything, it's actually jealousy, but will these officials admit it? Of course not!

"How's it going? Are those villages really flooded? ”

In a farmhouse, a woman asks anxiously with a child in one hand and a man's sleeve in the other.

"Dead! They're all dead! The flooded villages were flooded with water over their roofs. When I went to see it, there was still a village everywhere, and there was water everywhere. Many people from other places came and cried by the river, but no one swam out of the water, they must all be dead! ”

The man looked agitated and frightened, and when he went to see it, the people who were shouting on the shore were grieving.

All of these people have relatives who have been swallowed by the river, and only some pots and pans and other debris float on the water.

"What? What about my eldest sister's house? What about them? Did you see that? When the woman heard this, she immediately panicked.

The man shook his head, looking sad, and then put his arm around the woman's shoulder.

"Ahh Eldest sister! Bao Gen'er! The woman was so sad that she pulled at the man's sleeve and wept until she fainted.

"Don't cry, hurry up and pack your things, let's get out of here first."

The man can't care about grieving for those drowned relatives at the moment, and in the face of life and death, it is more important to save the lives of himself and his family.

The woman looked up in shock, "What's the matter?" Shall we get out of here? ”

"That's right! Didn't you see that the embankment collapsed? Who knows if it will be our village's turn next? It's better to pack up your things earlier and get out of here. ”

"But we only have five taels of silver, where can we go?"

There is only so much food at home, and if you bring it into cakes, you won't be able to eat it for long.

If you don't have food, you have to spend money to buy it, but what is five taels of silver enough?

"I'll think about it later, let's get out of here first. Li Zheng said, let's all go to the north and take refuge in Hangtianfu first. If there is no food, let's look for the government, can the government still ignore us? ”

said so, but in fact, the man didn't know the bottom in his heart. Li Zheng said, everyone went north. When there are more refugees, the government will have to take care of it even if it doesn't want to.

The man urged the mother-in-law to clean up, and then looked around the room sadly.

Min Feng hurriedly knocked on Hu Maoshen's door, they were now staying in an inn in Yingnan Mansion.

As soon as Hu Maoshen opened the door, he saw Min Feng with an anxious face outside the door, of course he knew why Min Feng came!

"Lord Hu! I heard that Changtianfu broke the embankment again, and the disaster was serious, I don't know if it's true? Min Feng followed Hu Maoshen into the room and immediately asked eagerly.

Hu Maoshen frowned, he had already sent someone out to inquire about the news just now, and it was indeed as Min Feng said.

"This official has sent someone out to listen to the news just now, and the news he heard is the same as what you said, and the situation is not optimistic!"

In fact, this matter has spread throughout Yingnan Mansion, and the streets and alleys are talking about it.

Yingnanfu and Changtianfu are not far away, and it is normal for the people of Yingnanfu to get the news.

And Yingnanfu is also close to the Tianya River, and the people are all panicked after knowing the disaster in Changtianfu.

I am afraid that the embankment of their Yingnan Mansion will also collapse, and their people will suffer at that time.

Therefore, in the last few days, the people have spontaneously organized themselves, selected strong laborers, and waited outside the yamen for the dispatch of the prefect or the prefect.

This is not the time to worry about wages, this is related to the lives of the people in the city, and no one wants to be ruthlessly swallowed by the river like the people of Changtianfu.

"My lord! So what now? Do we still want to go to Changtianfu? "Min Feng heard that even the Changtian Mansion was flooded, how could they go over?

Hu Maoshen felt that this matter was very tricky, and his mind was very messy now, and he didn't have any good ideas.
