After sending the letter, Rosin Xiang hurriedly brought some dry food and returned to the Criminal Division because of the busy affairs in the Yazhong.

Ji Qingling had already asked someone to find a few more Xiangfu County Chronicles and came back, and he was carefully checking to see if there was any information he had missed.

However, before she could see half of it, Qiu Yue hurriedly came in from outside and said, "Madam, Qiu Shuang is back, saying that the Bianhe River outside Xinzheng Gate is flooded!" ”

Ji Qingling was startled, hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand, and stood up awkwardly.

Qiu Shuang's hind feet had already followed, she was covered with sweat, and said hurriedly: "Madam, somehow there is a lot of water in the Bianhe River!" ”

It has rained for several days, and it is not surprising that the water is rising, but this time the water rises suddenly, and it is really scary.

She hurriedly told everything she had seen in the afternoon.

Ji Qingling heard that everyone was stampeded and crowded, and hurriedly asked, "Have the people in the house come back?" No injuries? ”

Qiu Shuang rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bruises on his head, and pointed to his knees that had been rubbed off a large piece of skin and said, "It's just that it hurts badly, but it's not a big deal." ”

Qiu Yue had already counted once, and said busily: "The people have already come back, and there are a few falls, and there is no major problem - I heard that the water supervisor of the Kyoto Prefecture and Tongdu has been dealing with the aftermath, and there should be no major incident." ”

Qiu Shuang heard Ji Qingling talk about the Xiangfu water tank in the morning, and when he saw the water in the sky, he couldn't help but ask: "Madam, such a big water, is the water tank down?" ”

If the river rises sharply due to heavy rains, it will be in order, and it will not be as defenseless as it is today.

Ji Qingling shook his head and said: "It's just speculation, I haven't seen it, and I can't easily assert it." Fortunately, Fan Dashen is already on guard, so there should be no big deal. ”

She thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is that Junchuan loquat useful?" ”

Qiu Shuang snorted from his nose, and secretly said in his heart that that thing had a fart, but it was not easy to say it so vulgarly, so he had to say: "It's useless, scratching around, it's the same as tickling, a few back and forth will break a few feats, and it takes manpower and money to spend money, and I don't know what that official business thinks!" ”

She carefully described the situation in the river today.

When Qiu Yue heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "How can such a useless method be used?" ”

Ji Qingling said: "It's not necessarily useless, it's just that the use is too small, according to what Fang Cai Qiushuang said, and the depth of the bottom of the river is appropriate, and you have to know which place has a big stone blocking the way, go for a while, and change the loquat of different lengths, if the river impulse is suitable, maybe you can really take away a section, but this kind of method of doing twice the result is half the effort, it seems that it is really not very suitable." ”

Qiu Shuang, such a little girl, feels useless, and in the city, naturally more people feel useless.

Du Shui Jian made such a big joke, which was talked about a lot, no matter how confident Zhang Hu was, he couldn't pretend to be deaf.

Fan Yaochen borrowed this reason and asked to stop using Junchuan Loquat, but Zhang Hu naturally refused, so he handed over the message and found a time to enter the palace.

***

Before entering the vertical arch hall, Cui Yongchen first tilted his head and yawned lightly in a place where no one could see.

At this time, it was too late to find cold water to wash his face, he squinted his eyes vigorously, rubbed his face again, told himself to look more energetic, and ran towards the Empress Dowager with small steps.

"Sage, the eldest prince is here."

Although he did not name him, he may be called the eldest prince by the top and bottom of Ciming Palace, and Zhang Hu is the only one.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Call him in." ”

She didn't lift her head, but continued to flip through the pieces in her hands.

The Empress Dowager didn't take a pen, and naturally she didn't approve the words, she read one copy, read another, and only piled up all the ones she had read next to her right hand.

There was already a thick stack of them, all of which were impeachment words on the imperial platform, which made her look very annoyed.

Especially the one that pressed her at the bottom, the nonsense in it was really unbearable.

A barking mad dog.

The Empress Dowager has already made up her mind in her heart.

Zhang Hu quickly entered the door.

There is no need for the Queen Mother to say, there is already a small yellow door holding a chair.

Zhang Hu saluted, got another signal, and naturally sat down.

Without him opening his own mouth, the Empress Dowager gave a step down and said, "I heard what the Imperial City Division said, is it not very useful to use Junchuan Pavilion?" ”

Zhang Hu explained: "In a hurry, the minister did not think about it enough, but let others see the joke - but it is not that it cannot be used, but it needs to be changed again." ”

He explained the situation of the day in detail, and put out the analysis given by himself and Yang Yifu and the capital water prison, and finally said: "The sage also said that everything is not achieved overnight, and it is natural to revise it again and again, again and again. Just like the dredging of the Bianhe River, countless new methods have been used in the past 100 years, and there is generally no one that does not need to be changed from the beginning. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "Fan Yaochen has already been excerpted, and the book has been approved, and he is here, do you know?" ”

How could Zhang Hu not know?

He was a little angry and said, "Sage, Fan's heart to participate in politics, don't you know? He did not agree to this method in the past, and then he was forced by the Chinese book, and he couldn't find a legitimate reason, so he had no choice but to stop it. The sage always said that Fan participated in politics and had the talent to manage affairs, but since he took over the position of the water supervisor, when did he manage this time? ”

The more Zhang Hu spoke, the more excited he became, he couldn't control his voice a little, and said loudly: "Fan has also done water conservancy things in the past, I naturally can't compare, but no matter how capable he is, he never does the right thing, what's the use?!" Blindly know how to stop others! He already knew that there were many loopholes in the Junchuan and two-boat pulley method, and he should be good at pointing out, why did he do it like this! The appearance of a country is all for his own selfishness, how can such a person be a governor of political affairs?! ”

Seeing that Zhang Hu was so angry, the Empress Dowager said: "Fan Yaochen doesn't care about this person for the time being, if it is for you to act again, how many times will it be useful?" ”

Zhang Hu raised his head and said: "There are two more times, when it can be properly debugged." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "At this time, it is the end of spring, and if you don't implement the law, when the rainy season comes this year, there will be a big flood, are you sure?" ”

Zhang Hu said loudly: "The minister must be sure!" ”

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "You have drafted a charter for this matter again, so that you can check and fill in the gaps, and don't happen again." ”

When she said this, she asked, "Do you know that the Bianhe River swelled the day before yesterday?" ”

Zhang Hu was on the river at the time, so he naturally knew about it, and said: "This is indeed the case, the river has swelled several feet, and I heard that some places have broken out of the outer embankment and flooded the fertile fields and houses. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "Several people have been swept away outside the Yangzhou Gate, and no living people have been fished out yet, do you know?" ”

Zhang Hu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I've heard from someone." ”

He also said, "It's because the Kyoto government has not been able to do its best......"

The Empress Dowager thought about it, took down the book on her right hand, took out the bottom one, and handed it to Cui Yongchen.

Cui Yongchen hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up and walked to Zhang Hu's side.

"Let's take a look."

The Empress Dowager said.

When she said this, she didn't wait, but looked down at the rest of the music.

However, Cui Yongchen stood aside, waiting for Zhang Hu to look through the excerpts, and saw the whole process of his complexion changing.

Zhang Hu didn't know what this was at first, but when he saw the beginning, his expression was normal, and he nodded slowly, but the more he looked back, the more his face sank, and the more frowning his brows became. ”

reprimanded again: "This Zheng Shixiu is just a mess!" What does this have to do with me, and what does it have to do with the water supervisor?! It's obviously the slackness of the Xiangfu County Government, and the Kyoto Prefecture is negligent, why do you want to pull it on me?! Is this a bully to see me? Could it be that the royal family of the clan should be ridiculed at will!? ”

is so angry that he no longer calls himself a minister.

The Empress Dowager said: "This matter is not just to listen to what you and I say, although Zheng Shixiu is indiscriminately biting, his people are also a little cunning, the chief of the water supervision investigates the depth of the Bianhe River, and acts according to the size of the water, the water of the Bianhe River is soaring like this, but the water supervisor is the last to learn, and he has to mention the criminal division to know that it is your omission, yes or no?" ”

Zhang Hu nodded helplessly and said, "It's the minister's negligence." ”

This responsibility is unavoidable.

The Empress Dowager said: "I also know that you have been busy with the dredging of the canal for a while, and it is normal to have anything to take care of, you are the first time to send it personally, and you are the chief bookkeeper of the affairs, but when you get to the place, you must first figure out your own functions, so as not to stab Lou Zi, and I don't know that I am not afraid of this place, but the people outside are making a lot of trouble, and you don't look good on your face." ”

This is already a very heavy word for Zhang Hu.

Although he was a little embarrassed, he nodded and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the saints." ”

The Empress Dowager said again: "The capital water supervisor wants to carry out the Junchuan Sect, which is already known to the whole city, but has not been informed of the Kyoto government, the crowd is very large, and you must not be hasty for a while, this is your omission, yes or no?" ”

Zhang Hu had to nod.

"I heard the Kyoto Prefecture report that eight people died outside the gate of Yangzhou this time, as well as farmland washed away by water along the river, and a few fishermen were missing.

Hearing the Empress Dowager say this, Zhang Hu was a little uncomfortable, put his hands on his knees, and turned his head slightly.

Seeing him like this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but blame him more, sighed slightly, changed the topic and asked: "What is the reason for the soaring Bianhe River, but the water prison has found out?" ”

Zhang Hu was a little embarrassed and said: "Fan's participation in politics is being investigated, so the minister didn't ask in detail." ”

"I only showed you a piece of music, but here I amended, but there is far more than that, although I have the intention to do things, I will not be afraid to be impeached, but this time it is you who are at fault first, do you know?"

The Empress Dowager still gave Zhang Hu face.

In fact, the thick stack on the table is almost all the impeachment of Du Shuijian, except for the impeachment of Fan Yaochen, it is the impeachment of Zhang Hu and Yang Yifu.

Although Fan Yaochen is a newcomer, he has made his attitude clear early and does not want to use the Junchuan loquat, but he has the name of hosting, and he is the father-in-law of Yang Yifu, so he naturally deserves to be scolded.

And Zhang Hu is the person in charge, and he is the cousin of the Empress Dowager, this is the one he hosts, who does he scold if he doesn't scold him?

You must know that Yushitai's favorite scolding is the royal family.

The mere collusion between China and foreign countries and the carrying of nepotism have been able to write seventy or eighty folds for them without repetition.

After sending Zhang Hu away, the Empress Dowager sat at the table alone, carrying a pen, and did not move for a long time.

Cui Yongchen asked softly, "Sage, do you want to wipe your face?" ”

The Empress Dowager nodded her head imperceptibly.

The basin was quickly raised, and the warm, soft wipes covered her face, but they didn't give her any comfort.

Her nose was a little blocked, and her throat was a little itchy, so she had to cough hard.

Cui Yongchen asked, "The minister went to ask Doctor Xie to come over?" ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, how can it be so effective." He only prescribed medicine last night, and it didn't get much better after taking it, so I'll call back in the evening to take a look. ”

Cui Yongchen was a little uneasy, and said: "Fang Cai is fine, why does it seem that his nose is blocked all of a sudden?" ”

He also said: "I knew that after taking medicine at noon, the saint should have a good rest, maybe he can be more comfortable." ”

He thought to himself: Isn't it for the eldest son of the Zhang family?

I can't beat it, I can't scold it, I feel distressed, and it's useless, what else can I do except get angry silently in my heart?

The folk say that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this is true, that is, the empress dowager is already the supreme in the world, and she is more powerful than the Son of Heaven, and there are still so many unsatisfactory things.

The Empress Dowager ignored him, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, stared at the thick pile of music in front of her, and was stunned for a while.

Zhao Rui, the emperor, is really useless......

is a good Yushitai, how can he be cultivated into this virtue! It's really the same temper as his father, so soft that it's pitiful!

Such an emperor, if he doesn't bully you, who does he bully?

When he hung the curtain back then, how beautiful was the Yushitai? Give him all these years The emperor sat down, and there was nothing left of the previous benefits, and now those young imperial histories are all like crows, where there is carrion, they will drill wherever they go.

Especially that Zheng Shixiu, relying on his ability to write a few words, speak and compose, completely disregarding decency and ignoring the facts.

Such a person, listening to Zhu Baoshi, was very important to the Son of Heaven in the past.

Second brother, what kind of eyes are these?!

The first is that he is so busy that he has no time to take care of it, and when he is cured this time, he will free his hands in a few days and break his teeth, and see if he still has so much strength to tear and bite!

"Saint?"

The Empress Dowager came back to her senses and saw Cui Yongchen standing aside with a copper basin in her own hand, so she wiped her hand and threw the handkerchief back into the basin.

There was a small yellow door on the side to take the basin away.

"Let's stay in the middle."

Pointing to the stacks of concerts, the Empress Dowager said softly.

Cui Yongchen bowed, beckoned to the small yellow door on the side, waited until the other party brought a bamboo basket over, and casually threw the many pieces into the bamboo basket, and waved his hand, telling the yellow door to go down with the bamboo basket.
