Chapter 38: Taihang Mansion
The raindrops in the sky fell mercilessly like swords, and only white rain could be seen between heaven and earth. The ground is full of mud!
Although Zhao Wei is a bit like to fight for power, he is an upright official and does not follow the arrangement of the attendants to pretend to be an official inspector. Instead, he went straight to Taihang Mansion, which was the easiest to break the embankment.
After a bumpy journey, Zhao Wei and Zhao Tian finally arrived at the Taihe River embankment in Taihang Mansion.
The Taihe River is the first big river of the Jiang Dynasty. The total length is as high as 5,000 kilometers, spanning the Great Jiang Dynasty. It can also be said to be the mother river of the Great Jiang Dynasty, which has raised generations of Great Jiang people. But every year when the flood season comes, it's a headache!
Zhao Wei, who was standing on the river embankment, was stunned.
There was an ocean in front of him, the cold river water occupied all his vision, and the wind blew waves like mad dogs rushing towards him, Zhao Wei shuddered in fright.
Seeing this, the guard next to him immediately supported Zhao Wei: "My lord! You okay? ”
"So horrible!" Zhao Wei hurriedly stood up, and then his face was already full of horror, "Is there anyone who can take charge of this Taihang mansion!"
Zhao Wei clapped his hands and was furious!
You must know that these tides and droughts are all natural disasters, although there is no way to avoid them, but if they are well managed, the casualties can be reduced, and naturally the people and everyone are singing praises and praising the benefits of officials and His Majesty the Emperor.
However, if it is not dealt with properly, resulting in the destruction of people's families and displacement, then the negative impact can be great.
The most reassuring thing is that among them, there may be, there will be people with a heart, shouting the banner of rebellion and doing some things when the time comes!
At that time, it will not only be a problem for the people in the Taihang Mansion, but he Zhao Wei may be removed from his official position because of this matter!
"All of you have given me a good look at this Taihang River embankment, if there is any sign of damage anywhere, come and inform me immediately, and this official will go to this Taihang Mansion today to see what the officials inside are doing!" Zhao Wei waved his sleeves and left angrily.
And because the situation on the embankment was too dangerous at this time, Zhao Wei didn't let Zhao Tian stay here, "Tian'er, you go to the mansion with your father, and you can rest well in it when the time comes." ”
It was also the first time for Zhao Tian to see such a vast and serious scene, and at this time, he had no intention of dragging his feet, so he nodded immediately, and then got into the carriage with Zhao Wei.
"Hurry up! Get to the government office as fast as possible! ”
Zhao Wei was so anxious! The situation has reached such a critical point that the entire Taihang Mansion seems to be sleepwalking! I'm afraid not many people will believe this! Wouldn't they go to see if the embankment would break?
O fool!
The sedan chair was quickly carried by these people, and Zhao Tian, who was sitting inside, felt that all the things in his stomach seemed to be shaken out, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on to it when it was so critical.
"Ahh
Suddenly, the car shook violently, and a corner hit the ground directly, and Zhao Tian didn't brake for a while, and at this time he hit his head directly on the sedan chair, and after he couldn't help but scream in pain, he heard Zhao Wei's roar.
"What's wrong?!"
"Tell you, the road is bad on this rainy day, the road is muddy, and the wheels of the carriage are stuck in the mud and it is difficult to pull them out!"
Originally, if a person walked on such a normal road, he would also step on muddy water, but at this time, there was a heavyweight carriage, and the whole wheel was deeply stuck in the mud pit, and there was no way to move forward!
Zhao Wei was anxious and felt that his mouth was blistering, and at this time he looked around, and then gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Let's go over!" Tilt, stay in the sedan chair and don't run around! ”
Zhao Tian opened the curtain and looked around, this place was at the foot of a mountain, looking at the leaves that were blown by the wind on it, Zhao Tian was afraid that he would be hit by falling rocks at that time, so he immediately said: "Daddy, I'll accompany you over!" ”
Zhao Wei had already run a short distance, and when he saw that Zhao Tian had come down, he couldn't say anything, and he was really anxious to die now, so he moved towards Taihang Mansion with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Zhao Tian was originally wearing a blue and plain robe, but at this time, he was beaten by the wind and rain and touched by the surrounding mud, and he already looked as if he had crawled out of the mud pit.
Zhao Wei looks even more unbearable than Zhao Tian, and the other party's official uniform is even more cumbersome and complicated, and at this time he looks like a crazy old beggar!
And Zhao Wei himself is also a person who is used to living a pampered life, at this time there is still a long way to go from Taihang Mansion, he already feels that he seems to be weak, but fortunately, Zhao Tian and a few other people with fast feet are constantly supporting, and a few people finally arrived at Taihang Mansion!
Zhao Wei gasped, and the group behind him quickly stepped forward to report at this time: "My lord is here, let your prefect come out to greet him!" ”
The doorkeeper squinted at his eyes at this time, and seemed to have a little sleepy eyes, and when he heard someone talking next to him, he quickly came back to his senses, and then looked at the guy who was talking with a little nervousness.
The other party's body was covered in mud, and it didn't look like any difference from the old Hanako outside the city, at this time, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "Get out of here!" A group of people called Hanako, make fun of your grandfather?! Damn, if it weren't for Lao Tzu not being able to move around casually now, I would have killed you believe it or not?! ”
The catcher was very loud, and he picked up his own board, and it looked like he was going to beat someone!
The messenger was holding his neck at this time, he was Zhao Wei's subordinate, that was the person who was wandering in the capital, how could he be intimidated by a small catcher in front of the Taihang Mansion.
"You dare?!"
"Do you dare to look at Lao Tzu!" The catcher was angry and angry, and was about to take the board and hit the messenger.
If Zhao Wei saw such a guy at another time, he would directly find someone to teach him a good lesson, and it would depend on the owner to beat the dog!
But at this time, he took out a token directly from his arms, and then said in a loud voice: "I am Your Majesty's inspection officer!" Don't delay me from seeing the prefect, otherwise I will definitely be punished afterwards! ”
At this time, when he saw Zhao Wei like this, he was a little panicked, and the other party really didn't look like a beggar with no knowledge.
Afraid of this, he withdrew his hand in a mocking manner, and then said, "You are waiting in this place!" I'm going to ask the prefect! ”
Where can Zhao Wei wait for this time, maybe there will be a lot of water in this time of grinding back and forth!
So they and the group ran directly behind the catcher, and the catcher was a little suspicious at this time, and he didn't delay the people behind, so he took the group to the court.
When it was quite far away, a woman's cry came from inside the court, as if there was a normal case inside, and a group of people arrived at the court, and the catcher quickly explained.
"Lord Prefect, these people from outside say what kind of minister they are, and the little one will bring it to you!"
The prefect's face is a little empty and looks a little fat, but his eyes are beeping and always gives people a feeling of looking down on people.
As soon as he heard what the minister was, he was a little panicked for a while, but when he looked at it again, he saw the mud monkey under the hall, and his face was full of astonishment at this time.
"Zhao San! Are you kidding the official? Bring a few old beggars and say that they are the ministers of the Qincha!? ”
The prefect's face was a little worried, and at this time he said with an impatient expression: "Hurry up and get these people away!" Don't filthy my courtroom! ”
The person surnamed Zhao was about to come over to drive people out after the prefect's order, but Zhao Wei was angry at this time, and immediately took out his token and said: "Open your eyes and take a good look at what is written on this!?" ”
Zhao Wei took out the token, but the words on it had been polluted by muddy water, and it was not clear at this time, the prefect looked at it with his eyes open for a while and thought it was something that the old beggar took out to deceive people.
"Humph! All right! An old beggar still dares to use chicken feathers as arrows?! A fake thing that can't be faked anymore, you can't be blind as an official! Come on, take these people down and keep them under strict guard! ”
Zhao Wei was furious! He didn't expect that this Taihang Mansion would be such a brainless guy! For a while, I was a little angry and choked!
The guard next to Zhao Wei couldn't help it, and pointed at Zhao Wei and said: "He, he, he is the Marquis of Mingyi who was sealed by Emperor Taizu, the current secretary of the Criminal Department, Lord Zhao!" ”
The prefect looked at this guard, stuttered, and couldn't speak clearly, and this Zhao Wei didn't come out of his official uniform, his civilian clothes were full of mud, saying that he was an official, so much more like he was fleeing!
The prefect patted his chest and looked at Zhao Wei with contempt: "It's ridiculous, if you want to say that, I'm still the emperor!" ”
Zhao Weiqi's face was flushed, just like eating chili peppers, and he felt that he was holding his stomach.
"You! You! Da Jiang is because of an official like you......" Zhao Wei was speechless angrily.
"Me! What's wrong! The prefect looked at Zhao Wei and motioned to the officials to blow them away: "Drag me out, don't dirty my mansion!" ”
And Zhao Tian saw these menacing, it seemed that the guards next to him seemed to be about to make a move, Zhao Tian immediately turned his brain, as if he thought of something, pulled his legs and ran outside.
Zhao Wei was stunned, "Tilt your ......"
Before he finished his words, he saw Zhao Tian shouting loudly at this time: "Oh no! Oh no! The dam is bursting! ”
"Taihang is going to be flooded! Everyone, hurry up! Come on! ”
Her voice was not small, and at this time, the people around her looked over one after another, which had attracted the attention of many people.
"Where did this little Hanako come from? How can you say that there is a big flood?! ”
"Taihang doesn't seem to be very reliable, I heard that it seems to be flooding...... But I haven't seen a lot of water in the past two years! Isn't it fake? ”
"I don't know, it looks a bit like ......"
Zhao Wei instantly understood what Zhao Tian meant, looking at so many people who came out at this time, at this time, his body was full of strength, and he directly shook off the catch fast around him, and raised a token high in his hand.
Zhao Wei stood in the rain, holding the dragon token majestically: "I am Your Majesty's minister!" Come to Taihang to control the river! The top and bottom of Taihang need to obey my command and strengthen the embankment of Taihang! ”
