There is a saying that things are man-made, and some things often need to be really settled and done seriously to understand.

Yu Ziye followed Chu Hang's side during this time, and even had the idea of stumbling at the beginning, but later on, he really calmed down to learn humbly, and he was able to think from the perspective of a person who really does things.

Sometimes an unexpected moment leads to a small change, and then it can gradually change your life, and Yu Ziye has this tendency.

So when the imperial decree arrived in Dengzhou, Yu Ziye understood the emperor's mind on the one hand, and Chu Xiang's helplessness on the other hand, and at the same time had an inexplicable sense of fire.

It seems that it is also because of this holy decree that the entire Dengzhou Yamen, from the officials to the errands, has been covered with a layer of haze in their hearts, and their motivation to do things has been reduced.

Moreover, the drought-resistant canals in the two states have connected many key lines, but after all, the sky is not beautiful, and the water is not enough, so what is the use of having canals?

In the official office, Chu Hang sat alone behind the table, and on the table was the holy decree, and he stayed here for a day and a night.

There seemed to be an invisible pressure in that room, which made the officials and messengers of the entire Dengzhou Yamen afraid to approach.

The eunuch who came to announce the decree did not get a personal reply from Chu Hang, and he didn't dare to leave casually, but he wanted to go to Chu Hang several times, but he didn't dare to approach that official office.

Perhaps the emperor's original intention was to make Chu Hang admit that he would also fail, but he didn't expect Chu Hang to answer at all.

On the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the eunuch finally couldn't help it, and went to another official office to find Yu Ziye.

When the eunuch arrived, Yu Ziye was studying a lot of documents and atlases on the table, and when he heard the movement, he looked at the door, only to find that it was the eunuch who had come to announce the decree.

"It's Father-in-law Chang who is here, and the lower officials are far away, forgive your sins!"

No matter what he thought in his heart, Yu Ziye still stood up and greeted him with a smile, and the eunuch entered with a smile, after all, Lord Yu was also a close confidant of the emperor.

"Lord Yu is polite."

"Father-in-law, please!"

Yu Ziye invited the eunuch to sit on the chair on the side together, and asked in a low voice while pouring tea for him personally.

"I don't know why my father-in-law is here?"

"Alas!"

The eunuch sighed.

"It's not because of Chu Xiang, the emperor wants the old slave to hear Chu Xiang say something in person, but Chu Xiang doesn't respond, and the old slave can't go over and ask directly, it's nerve-wracking."

Yu Ziye understood, this was to ask him for help, and he smiled after pouring the tea.

"Father-in-law, don't be impatient, wait for Yu to ask Chu Xiang, oh, please use tea!"

The eunuch's face showed joy.

"So please leave it to Lord Yu!"

"Father-in-law, don't worry, Yu will go to Chu Xiang's side to find out, and he will definitely let him give you an answer in person."

After Yu Ziye finished speaking, he walked out of the house directly, and Chang Gonggong in the back was stunned for a moment, there is no need to be in such a hurry, let's talk for a while

Outside the house, when Yu Ziye left, he met the messenger who came to deliver the meal.

"Oh, my lord, your dinner!"

The messenger hurriedly called out to Yu Ziye, who pointed to the room where he had left.

"Send it over there, Grandpa Chang is here, just give it to Grandpa Chang!"

After speaking, Yu Ziye left by himself, and the messenger saw that he was in a hurry, so he had to bring the food to the official office, and saw the eunuch drinking tea inside, the official didn't want to get close, but he still squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Grandpa Chang, Master Yu asked me to bring you dinner!"

The eunuch was stunned again, this Lord Yu's arrangement is so fast? Just out for dinner?

"Hehehehe, no, no, the miscellaneous family has already booked a banquet on the Denglou, and I will go with him when Master Yu comes back! Let's take these meals away! ”

The eunuch glanced at the food on the messenger's tray, a bowl of white rice, a small bowl of greens and a small bowl of bacon, plus a small plate of dried radish, and did not want to look at it a few more times.

"Oh"

The messenger answered, and had to leave with the tray, and when he got to the door, he looked back at the smiling old eunuch, and cursed in his heart for being a eunuch.

On the other side, Yu Ziye walked to the courtyard of the official office where Chu Hang was, and when he was close to the door, he bumped into the person who delivered the meal, but it was not an errand officer, but Chu Hang's old family servant, and the other party also came out with the food.

Seeing this scene, Yu Ziye hurriedly stepped forward.

"What's the matter, Chu Xiang doesn't need to eat?"

The old servant had a sad face on his face, and when he saw Yu Ziye, although he had the impression that this was a minister, he couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Yu, my lord hasn't eaten for more than a day, you go and persuade him, let him eat a little, he is old and his body can't stand it."

Yu Ziye was taken aback, he didn't bother to knock on the door, he directly pushed the door and entered the official room, and Chu Hang, who heard the "squeak" sound of the door shaft, also looked up at this moment.

"Lord Yu is here?"

Yu Ziye saw that the old assistant in it was sitting at the table, his expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to be as haggard as he imagined.

"Chu Xiang, you. Take care of your body, eat two bites of this meal."

In the corner of the table, there was food, which was still steaming, and it was obvious that the old servant had just taken the place from before.

Chu Xiang has always cherished food, and even more so in this kind of famine years, there will not be a grain of rice left over from a daily meal, and it is even more impossible not to eat because of work needs, who can not worry about it today.

"Chu Xiang, the saint is actually him. I also care about Chu Xiang."

Chu Hang just looked at Yu Ziye calmly, and only after a long time did a smile appear on his face.

"Yes, yes, your qi has changed, not bad, not bad."

Yu Ziye was slightly stunned when he listened, what did Chu Xiang say?

But Chu Hang didn't explain, and his smile didn't change his way.

"Even Chu has a time when he looks away, if it was in the early years, you Yu Ziye was in front of the old man, the old man would not value her very much, but now it has also made the old man look a lot better."

These words made Yu Ziye happy and a little worried, and he didn't know why Chu Xiang suddenly said this.

"Yu Ziye!"

Chu Hang suddenly shouted like this, Yu Ziye was taken aback by the increased volume, and subconsciously responded solemnly.

"The lower official is here!"

And Chu Hang looked at this person who once thought he was a minister, but now he has a tendency to transform into a virtuous minister, and he understands that a minister must not only be smart and practical, but also know how to see the wind and steer the rudder, in the era when the emperor is not so holy, maybe a person like Yu Ziye will be much more important than many courtiers who only know how to be upright and loyal.

Thinking like this, Chu Hang showed some relieved smiles on his face.

"The old man has been waiting for you here for a day and a night, and we will have a long talk tonight. By the way, you haven't had dinner yet, you can eat this meal soon, the old man can't eat it."

"Chu Xiang, this is"

"Eat!"

"Alas"

Although Chu Hang is kind and pleasant, there is an inexplicable power at this moment, which makes Yu Ziye dare not disobey, even if it is just to let people eat.

As it gets darker, the lights are lit, and the lights continue in the government offices.

On the other side, in Yu Ziye's office, the eunuchs waited left and right, but they never waited for Yu Ziye to come back, but he didn't dare to go directly to Chu Hang's side to see, so he had to leave alone.

On this night, the eunuch was in the private room of the Shangdeng Tower, accompanied by many officials, eating and drinking food and drinking very happily, and also received a lot of benefits.

After all, flatterers are indispensable everywhere.

This night, Chu Hang and Yu Ziye chatted from night to dawn in the official office where an oil lamp was lit, and then the sky gradually brightened

When the morning light of dawn shone on the earth from the east, Yi Shuyuan and Qi Zhongbin stood on a bridge outside the city and looked in the direction of the east.

In the official office, it is no longer pitch black outside the door, but there is light coming in.

After a long night of talking, Yu Ziye not only did not feel sleepy, but was in good spirits, and so was Chu Hang opposite him.

Yu Ziye couldn't figure out how an old man of such an advanced age could be so energetic without sleeping for a few days.

But at this time, Chu Hang stood up, reached out and grabbed the holy decree on the table, and then walked to the door and opened the door.

The morning light entered, making Yu Ziye, who felt slightly dazzling, subconsciously cover it with his hand, and Chu Hang also turned his head to look at him at this moment.

"Yu Ziye, if you are willing, you will be the last protégé of the old man, please assist the saint well and maintain my Dayong Dynasty!"

After saying this, Chu Hang walked out of the house.

"Chu Xiang."

Yu Ziye immediately wanted to get up and follow, but after kneeling all night, he felt a sore leg and knee before he could stand up, and he felt a slight feeling of dizziness.

"Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang-"

Yu Ziye endured the pain and stood up on the table, swayed and rushed to the door, but he could still see Chu Hang's figure, but he still rushed out directly, all the way to the outside of the mansion gate, and then he saw Chu Hang's back on the street where there were no pedestrians, and Chu Hang had already walked a long way.

Without thinking about why Chu Xiang walked so fast and why the rest of the yamen didn't notice this, Yu Ziye rushed to catch up, and even forgot to inform others, shouting while chasing back.

"Chu Xiang-Chu Xiang-Wait-"

Yu Ziye's shouting finally alarmed the officials in the yamen behind him, and also alarmed some people along the street.

However, Yu Ziye didn't care about other people, he only hated that he had a pair of legs missing, even if his feet had recovered, he couldn't catch up with a gray-haired old man, so he chased him all the way out of the city

At the same time, there were also officials and messengers in the Dengzhou Yamen who chased them out, and many people nearby also heard the news.

Chu Hang walked in front, looking for water vapor and followed the feeling in his heart all the way to the outside of the city, walked to the bank of the Datong River, and walked to a riverside staircase outside the city before stopping.

Looking at both ends of the river, Chu Hang's face couldn't help but show a smile.

At this moment, on a teahouse outside the city, two figures rushed out of the window directly, and rushed towards Chu Hang by the river, these two people were like ghosts, it was Pei Changtian and Mai Lingfei.

The two of them had already felt something at the moment, but they were still in the air, but their clothes were suddenly pulled by someone.

What? Who?

Someone was able to hold the two masters silently, Pei Changtian and Mai Lingfei turned around and attacked the rear almost at the same time.

"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~".

The fists and claws were as fast as lightning, but the person behind the two of them easily slapped them away with one hand, and in the process of exchanging more than a dozen moves, the three of them also landed in mid-air together.

After landing, Ah Fei and Pei Changtian could no longer move, obviously sealing the meridians by the other party.

Ah Fei and Pei Changtian showed a look of shock on their faces, it was hard to imagine that they would join forces and be restrained by someone in one face.

In front of the two of them was a man in a python robe, looking at them calmly at the moment.

"You're good, but I can't let you pass!"

The man said this, his eyes looked over the two of them not far away, and his face showed a sudden look, and he muttered even more.

"I see, Yi Daozi, you already know it, don't you?"

——

On the steps on the bank of the Datong River, Chu Hang reopened the holy decree, recited it in a low voice, smiled slightly, and went to the water to get on a boat.

"Father-in-law Chang, didn't Your Majesty ask what the solution to the disaster is?"

The eunuch who had been drunk last night was arranged to rest on the boat on the upper lamp tower, and the absurd thing is that there were two naked beauties in the same bed.

At this moment, the eunuch was awakened by Chu Hang's voice, and rushed to the window of the boat, and when he saw the river in the distance, another voice came.

"Please tell the Holy Lord, my Chu Hang has acted above board all my life, and I have a clear conscience for the old man, even if I am guilty, I don't need the Danshu iron coupon to save it."

After a slight pause, Chu Hang looked at the water.

"As for the calamity that the Holy One cares about, it will be resolved soon."

As he spoke, Chu Hang held the holy decree in his hand and walked towards the Datong River step by step.

The yamen officials and messengers who rushed to the shore, as well as some people who were originally unknown by the river, showed panic, and Yu Ziye rushed directly to the Datong River.

"Chu Xiang can't-"

"Chu Xiang-" "Lord Chu-"

Including Yu Ziye, I don't know how many people rushed to the bank of the Datong River, and the nearest people even felt that they could hold Chu Hang, but just one step away, Chu Hang had already walked into the water.

"Puff~" "Puff~" "Puff~".

Many errands and young adults who were one step behind jumped directly into the water, including Yu Ziye, who didn't know how to water at all, and countless people on the shore were shouting.

But except for the officials and young people fluttering in the water, whether they were swimming around or diving to find people, everyone did not find Chu Hang's figure, but only rescued Yu Ziye, who was constantly fluttering in the water.

And at this moment, the originally calm Datong River seemed to become turbulent.

"Bang la la lah."

The river stirred up strong waves, and the officials and young men who rescued people in the water had to swim to the shore, and the river bank was already shouting.

"Lord Chu—" "Chu Xiang—"

Yu Ziye didn't think of his safety at all at this moment, and seemed to want to go into the water, but was dragged ashore by the official.

"Your Excellency, you can't go!" "Your Excellency, you don't know how to water!"

"Chu Xiang—"

Yu Ziye broke free from the official errand, knelt directly on the bank and kept kowtowing to the river, until his head broke and bled out.

"Knock Knock"

"Chu Xiang - Chu Xiang - the lower official should die, the lower official should die-"

"Knock Knock"

"Bang la la la la"

The water of the Chase River crashed against the waves, and the wind gradually became stronger, so big that the people on the shore could not stand.

"Boom—"

There was a thunderclap in the sky, and in an instant it was already cloudy, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.

However, before the heavy rain fell, many steps on both sides of the Odori River were flooded by the river.

"The water is rising—" "The Chase River is rising—"

There were people on the shore shouting
