In the summer of the fifth year of Yongchang, the Yellow River flooded.

During the reigns of Emperor Jingyu and Emperor Qingyuan, the Yellow River also flooded frequently, but never was it more serious than this flood in the fifth year of Yongchang.

The flood of the Yellow River came violently. In the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Pingjiang region, the eastern coastal areas and the areas along the Yangtze River are all hard-hit areas. Previously, because of the frequent diversion of the Yellow River, he had to face this major decision every summer, and this year's wind and rain were smooth, so that Chu Luo had forgotten the great disaster of the Yellow River. Finally, in the late summer of this year, the Yellow River flooded, the border areas suffered heavy losses, and the national treasury spent a lot of money, and the victims were still complaining.

When one after another was handed to the emperor, Chu Luo was already frowning. For the Yellow River to burst, he hadn't slept well for several days, and his eyes were terrifyingly black. On this day, Yan Ji was by the emperor's side, and when she saw him extremely distressed, she was also distressed in her heart. He was only twenty-six years old, but he seemed to have aged a lot in the past few days. She gently stroked his shoulder and said softly, "Your Majesty, rest for a while and then watch." ”

Chu Luo didn't look at her, his eyebrows were still tightly furrowed, "It's out of the way." ”

Yan Ji sighed slightly, she had been with the emperor for a long time, and she knew that she couldn't interfere in the affairs of her family and country, so she didn't want to persuade her anymore.

She thought silently, but saw that the name of Shen Tunan was mentioned on the scroll unfolding in front of Chu Luo, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately said, "Has the emperor ever thought that Jiangnan is often flooded, and Lord Shen, who is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is also proficient in water control, if he is allowed to go, wouldn't he be able to help the emperor?" ”

When Chu Luo heard this, his dark eyebrows were raised, and he said warmly, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that Lord Shen is over half a hundred years old, and he should be at the age of enjoying the joy of family, and he has worked so hard to control the water, and I really don't want to let him go." ”

Yan Ji immediately froze and sighed sadly, "It's just that the Yellow River is flooded endlessly, and the people in the affected areas have suffered heavy damage...... I'm afraid it's ......."

Yan Ji didn't say any more, Chu Luo already understood what she meant.

The death toll of the people in the border areas is increasing every day, and seeing the ministers handing over a piece of music, how can Chu Luo not be heartbroken? is a big country, and he can't choose a talent that can be used by him.

He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Even though Shen Tunan has experience in water control, he is old, and I mean to let Lu Chongyuan go." ”

Yan Ji often accompanied the emperor, and also understood who Lu Chongyuan was in the emperor's mouth, so she said, "Lord Lu is still young, I'm afraid I can't entrust him with important tasks." If the emperor is not at ease, he can let him go with Governor Shen. ”

Yan Ji said this, but the emperor was understandable. He originally wanted Shen Tunan to go to control the water, but now that he was accompanied by Lu Chongyuan, he was more at ease. The sooner the floods of the Yellow River are resolved, the sooner the country will be brought to peace.

Therefore, the emperor issued an order and ordered Shen Tunan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to be the governor of the river and go to the Yellow River area to control the water.

As soon as the emperor decreed, Shen Changan couldn't sit still immediately, and got up and went to the door of Mingde Palace.

"Niangniang, the emperor ordered Lord Shen to go to control the water, which is important to Lord Shen and Niangniang, if Lord Shen has merit in controlling the water, Niangniang will naturally benefit......"

"You open the house!" Shen Changan was furious, stretched out his hand and gave Cheng Dehai a slap.

Cheng Dehai is the chief eunuch of Mingde Palace, and when he was bullied like this, he was extremely dissatisfied. Even so, he didn't dare to speak ill of the emperor's beloved concubine, so he only said, "The emperor is making a batch of folds in it, I'm afraid it's ...... at this time."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Changan hurried past him, and he couldn't stop him anymore.

Shen Changan went to Mingde Palace angrily, his eyes were almost on fire, and when the people in the palace saw the tragic situation of Cheng Dehai Fangcai, they didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly flashed a way for her to pass.

"Your Majesty!" Chang'an stood in front of Chu Luo and said angrily, "My father is old, and there are so many ministers of water control in the court, why did the emperor send my father there?!" ”

Chu Luo had already heard the noise outside the hall, and when he saw Chang'an like this at this time, he sighed slightly in his heart, but his gaze at her was still warm, "Chang'an, you come." ”

As if he hadn't heard, Chang'an stood upright in the moment, "Chang'an wants an explanation from the emperor, why did you send my father?" ”

"Lord Shen has treated several floods in Jiangnan, and he is also familiar with it, shouldn't I send him there?"

"But my father is already old, and I ask the emperor to reconsider!"

"Chang'an." Chu Luo sighed heavily, and stretched out his hand to take her, "Lord Shen is your father, and he is also my father, I sent him this time, and I will definitely order someone to garrison him to keep him safe and sound, you don't have to worry." ”

A trace of tears flashed in the corners of Chang'an's eyes, and he still asked unwillingly, "Are you serious?" ”

Chu Luo stretched out his hand to grab her, and his voice was soft, "A gentleman's words will be difficult to chase when a horse is a horse." ”

Chang'an's expression calmed down slightly at this time, leaning on his arms, peaceful.

However, his promise was not fulfilled as it should be.

At the end of this month, the flooding of the Yellow River was finally stopped, and the ministers of water control built high weirs to contain the water, attacked the sand with water, and made unprecedented achievements in making the two rivers flow together and divert the flood water.

Although things went well, several heroes were lost in the process.

Shen Changan's father, Shen Tunan, is one of them.

At first, when the emperor heard the news, he was filled with grief. All the ministers knew that Governor Shen was the father of the noble concubine, and they couldn't say anything for a while.

A few days later, the news also spread to the Chonghua Palace.

Shen Changan clenched her fingers vigorously, her knuckles turned white, and her voice trembled endlessly, "You...... What did you just say......"

He Sheng crouched on the ground, already in great embarrassment, so he had to repeat in a deep voice, "Lord Shen died in the line of duty, and he has ......."

"Get out!" Chang'an's blood-red eyes widened, and tears rolled down from her eyes, "This palace told you to get out!" ”

When He Sheng saw the appearance of the concubine like this, he was extremely frightened, he didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly retreated.

He walked to the door and saw Evening Fragrance standing there, her eyes red.

"Father-in-law, let's go back first." Wanxiang tried her best to smile at He Sheng, but the smile was extremely ugly and sad.

He Sheng sighed deeply and comforted, "You should accompany Niangniang well, she is also very bitter at this time." ”

Wanxiang nodded vigorously, and a little tear oozed from the corners of her eyes.

Shen Changan sat on the couch, holding a jade pillow fiercely in her hand, so hard that even the catkins inside were exposed, but she still didn't realize it. Her big tears fell on her robe, and her voice was a little hoarse, "This palace doesn't believe it, this palace doesn't believe it!" ”

With that, she ran out of the house.

Han Yan, who was sobbing, saw Chang'an like this, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Where is the master going?" ”

Chang An didn't answer her, and reached out and pushed her hard. Where can Hanyan withstand Chang'an's strength, and immediately hit the table on the side, Wanxiang was startled, and hurriedly wanted to help her, but Hanyan ignored the pain on her body, and looked straight at Chang'an, "Go and chase the master......"

Chang'an ran to the door in a frenzy, but was stopped by Chu Luo. He grabbed her wrist hard and said solemnly, "Where are you going?!" ”

Chang An just didn't seem to hear it, and punched Chu Luo's body fiercely, tears gushing down, and he whimpered in his mouth, "You killed my father, you killed him......"

Chu Luo felt pain in his heart, and let her hit him, but he didn't resist.

When Cheng Dehai saw this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Guifei Niangniang, the emperor is the Ninety-Five, and he can't beat it, if you want to beat it, just beat the minions......"

Cheng Dehai knelt at the feet of Chang'an and kept kowtowing. As soon as he knelt, the palace people behind him all knelt on the ground.

Shen Changan has never hated it so much, never. The grievances she suffered in the palace were not as strong as the pain of losing her father at this time.

She was tired from the fight, she stopped herself, squatted on the ground, and curled up in tears, "Why...... Why should I have no father...... Why do you do this to me, I don't have a brother anymore, why do you want to take my father......"

She cried heartbreakingly, Chu Luo saw this, his heart was extremely throbbing, he squatted down and tried to help her up, but she was slammed hard, "Don't touch me!" ”

He was also frightened by her, but he unwillingly stretched out his hand to hug her, "Chang'an......"

She raised her eyes and looked at him resolutely, but there was a clear hatred in her eyes, "I hate you to death, Chu Luo, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!" ”

Chang An used all his strength to finish this sentence, but between his tongue was astringent, "I'm going to see my father, I'm going to see him......"

The corners of Chu Luo's eyes moistened, and even his voice became much softer, "I'll let you go to see him, I'll go with you, okay......"

"Get out of here!" Chang'an's lips were white, and tears burned hotly, "My father is so good to you, he has been doing his best for you, but you want to kill him, Chu Luo, you are simply not human!" You don't deserve to see him! ”

The fire in Chang'an's eyes gradually burned out, and her face was gloomy like a black cloud pressing down on the city, "Chu Luo, I really hate it, why should I like you......"

This sentence slammed into Chu Luo's heart unguardedly, his face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice, "Chang'an, you say it again......"

"Get out! I feel extremely disgusting every second I see you, you really don't deserve it, you don't deserve it! She roared angrily, and large tears rolled down her eyes, and in an instant, her entire vision was drowned.

Chu Luo's heart sank, as if there were ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, and he said in a deep voice, "You said it yourself. ”

With that, he got up and walked away.

The door of Chonghua Hall closed heavily behind him, Chang'an looked at it, and only felt that all her youth, all her youthful love was closed with this door, leaving behind just a shell named Shen Chang'an.
