"In previous years, the flood season was in June, when the rain came from the east and spread across the country. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Why did the rain not arrive this year, and the flood peak came on the Dingjiang River ahead of schedule?"

When the officials of the imperial court were still surprised, the emperor asked coldly. "Chen Jian, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, you come to tell me. ”

Shilang is the adjutant of the Ministry of Industry, and the head of the Ministry of Industry, Qi Hezheng, is still accompanying the Seven Princes to control the water in Wuzhou, and now the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are all handed over to Chen Jian.

Since the emperor asked, Chen Jian didn't dare not agree, so he came out of the ranks of hundreds of officials: "Back to the emperor, the ministers don't know." ”

His voice trembled, and he was obviously not prepared for the flood that had been launched in advance.

"You are in charge of the fortifications, don't you have a plan?" the emperor shouted angrily.

After speaking, the emperor looked around the palace again: "Ladies and gentlemen, you also come to discuss, do you know the origin of this flood?"

After the emperor asked, Chen Jian, who was hanging in the main hall, looked frightened, and many of the other courtiers also lowered their heads, for fear that the emperor would look at him, and they all avoided their eyes.

The emperor looked at it again and again, and his heart became more and more aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows. Leng Buding, a crisp voice came from below the main hall, and it was the outermost Fang Haoze who was speaking.

Although he stood farthest, his voice clearly reached the ears of everyone in the court hall, and the loud voice made people feel certain.

"Tell me, it seems that there are still sensible people in our court. The Emperor smiled a little, then snorted. The smile was naturally made by the other party Haoze, and the cold snort was aimed at the rest of the courtiers.

This positive and negative also aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials, and immediately some officials secretly glanced at Fang Haoze in the outermost area, but everyone was buried in their hearts, and their emotions were subtle.

There are also more open-minded officials, such as Prime Minister Gu Changshan, who pricked up their ears with an inquiring expression.

It is a mediocre talent not to attract envy, Fang Haoze naturally chose to ignore the malicious gaze that was staring at him from all sides. He greeted the emperor and slowly explained: "During the second emperor of the previous dynasty, Dingjiang also had an incident of flooding half a month in advance, nearly 854 years ago. ”

Going to Dingjiang to control the water, although it was a method of meritorious service and virtue that Fang Haoze thought of for a while, he was fully prepared afterwards. During this period, he also read a lot of books on the hydrology of Dingjiang, and even biographies of Ye Shi.

At this time, what he said was the past recorded in the local chronicles of Wuzhou.

According to local chronicles, Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty caused natural disasters because he did not respect the god of Dingjiang water, and the flood season of Dingjiang was advanced, and Wuzhou became a country for thousands of miles.

At that time, it was mediocre to read, but now that I think about it, it must also be the handwriting of the god of water in the Dingjiang River, no wonder the local chronicles also have a special title "Do not respect the god of the river and water." ”

After a pause, Fang Haoze recalled the details: "According to records, although the Dingjiang flood season started half a month in advance, it did not rest half a month in advance, so the flood season lasted and the amount of water was particularly large. The minister asked him to go to Dingjiang as soon as possible and preside over the matter of water control. ”

After explaining the reason for the coming of the flood season in a few words, the emperor and the ministers showed clear expressions, and their hearts were slightly settled.

Especially the emperor, he looked directly at Fang Haoze, found the backbone of the heart, and was no longer as anxious as Fang Cai.

"With such a big flood, and a dam is being built on the Dingjiang River to intercept the flood, will this matter have a bad impact on the flood crossing the river?" the emperor suddenly frowned and asked after listening to the explanation.

"There seems to be something wrong. Fang Haoze thought about it and replied honestly. Now the Dingjiang water blocking project is to complete the main structure before the flood season, who knows that the flood season is suddenly advanced, not only has an impact on the construction period, but also aggravates the trend of flood transit flow rate.

After hearing this, the emperor said "um", and after a while, he looked at Prime Minister Gu Changshan: "Inform the states along the river to do a good job in flood control, if the flood is too large, then arrange the flood discharge areas, and the states should assign disaster victims." ”

"Your Majesty......" Gu Changshan finished listening to the order, and opened his mouth to shout, which was meaningful.

He knew the emperor's order, in fact, it was already very clear. On the one hand, it is necessary to inquire about the adverse impact of the river flood control project on the flood peak, and on the other hand, it is necessary to inform the prefectures to make preparations for disaster relief.

The emperor would rather sacrifice the people along the river to cure the flooding of the Dingjiang River.

"After the ministers dispersed, they went to prepare, and they will discuss the detailed regulations with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and then report to the emperor. Gu Changshan replied respectfully.

"That's good, let's get away with nothing. Fang Aiqing went to Dingjiang quickly, and he had to do his best to do his best in the project, if the flood was too large, the work could be temporarily suspended, but the embankment could not collapse. The emperor stared at Fang Haoze and said seriously.

"The minister knows, and obeys the emperor's orders. Fang Haoze's heart is also like a mirror.

An early dynasty ended hastily under this circumstance, and the emperor originally used Fang Haoze's self-defense to beat dissenting officials, and later it evolved into the Dingjiang Incident, and Fang Haoze was ordered to be in danger.

The situation in the court of Baiyujing is changing, and the upper reaches of the Dingjiang River are not far from the source, which is also a tense atmosphere.

The mighty Dingjiang River, the river is vast, and there is an obvious flood peak in the distance, which is slowly moving downward.

There are also sporadic people along the Dingjiang River, all of whom are embankment guards stationed here from nearby states and counties. The prophet of Chunjiang plumbing duck and the news of the Dingjiang flood in advance was discovered by the people of the coastal states and counties. After layers of reporting, it finally reached the ears of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, a levee keeper in his fifties was nervously watching the flood passing, and he stared at the flood peak, and every time the levee moved, the levee keeper was sweating, and a cigarette gun in his hand was almost broken.

He couldn't help but worry, under the embankment is the annual ration of ten people in the family, and this is the time when the rice is out of the grain, if it is flooded, several fields will be unharvested.

"Lao Wang, this flood peak is finally over from last night to now, you haven't slept all night, go and rest. "A fellow next to me is concerned.

"No, seeing that the flood peak is about to pass, our embankment has finally been saved. The embankment keeper, who was called Lao Wang, slowly looked into the distance.

"The front is Tianlin Gorge, this time the flood season is advanced, it must be the water god to show its might, after passing the Tianlin Gorge, the embankments on both sides of the bank are afraid that they will not be able to be saved. With that, the old king sighed.

"Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own doors, and it doesn't matter if others have frost on their tiles, but we are fortunate that this section of the embankment will not be broken, and this year's harvest will not be flooded. Half a month later, when the rain comes, there is still a flood to pass. The fellows around him also shook their heads and sighed.

"Yes, although the land by the Dingjiang River is fertile, it has been flooded for nine out of ten years, which is really bitter. Lao Wang's face was sad. "I heard that in the past of Tianlinxia, the imperial court is vigorously controlling the water, and I hope that the flood in Dingjiang will be alleviated in the future. ”

"You're right, this time the water control is really vigorous, and even many scholars in the county have discussed it, saying that it is the young genius of the national dynasty who is presiding over the ......" The fellow talked about gossip with his eyebrows.

"If we can really succeed in controlling the water, we will burn incense for the court official, and we will also set up a shrine for him. Lao Wang knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand, his face full of expectation.
