After waking up from the dream, Li Yan could still clearly perceive her unhappy emotions in the dream.

But before he had time to think about it, a guard spoke outside the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is in the front hall of the post house with a local official who asks to see him." ”

"Hmm."

Inside the house, Li Yan answered lightly.

got up to wash, changed clothes, and then took people to the front hall of the post house.

These officials from top to bottom, and even several local county magistrates also rushed over, stood in the back position, and quietly fell on Li Yan with awe and curiosity after saluting.

Most of the officials present had already seen Li Yan yesterday, and Wang Yong and Qian Tong had been reminded by Zhang Jiqian last night, and they were particularly relieved today, standing aside and not speaking.

Zhang Jiqian was the closest to Li Yan, and was the first to stand up and explain the situation here again, and then looked at Wang Yong and Qian Tong.

Wang Yong immediately stood up, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "The minister is guilty!" Please condemn the emperor! ”

The officials present immediately became confused, and everyone didn't understand why Wang Yong was like this.

I went to look at Li Di's expression again, but found that Li Di was sitting there with a faint expression, and the young emperor's eyes were deep, so that they couldn't see joy and anger in such a pair of eyes.

Thinking that Wang Yong's official position could only kneel down and ask for guilt, everyone was panicked for a while.

There was a timid uncontrollable weakness of his legs, and he knelt down.

Finally, Li Yan spoke:

"What are your sins?"

"In the area, floods are frequent, and as a local official, they can't solve them, so that every year when there is a big flood, the people are displaced. To this day, the embankment is still a mess, and the ministers are ashamed of the emperor and even more ashamed of the people. ”

As soon as Wang Yong said this, Qian Tong also hurriedly knelt down and said something similar to Wang Yong.

The officials behind were already worried, and when they heard that Wang Yong and Qian Tong had come up with the reasons why the floods in this place had not been solved, they suddenly turned pale with fright, lowered their heads one after another, knelt on the ground, and their figures trembled slightly.

Linchuan Mengchuan area, because of the special location, once the flood occurs, the upstream water rushes in, but the downstream can not dredge the flood, and the waterproof project built here has been repeatedly shelved for many reasons, resulting in a more serious situation.

Among them, they have more or less taken some benefits.

It's just that after thinking about it, I never thought that the emperor would come to this place in person.

When Zhang Jiqian arrived, they didn't take him seriously, over the years, the imperial court sent countless officials to control the water, the only difference between Zhang Jiqian and those people is that he has just entered the officialdom, and some scholars are angry.

But when the emperor came, the situation was very different.

Looking at the current situation, it must be Zhang Jiqian who reported the situation here to the emperor, which attracted the emperor to come.

Li Yan's gaze swept over these officials one by one.

Seeing the frightened appearance of those officials, he snorted coldly in his heart, and was about to retract his gaze, but Li Yan suddenly found that one of them was standing near the end, and he also knelt down, but it was not the others who were trembling, he deliberately bent over, looking like he was also afraid of Mo Yang, but he was inexplicably calm.

Recording this scene in his heart, Li Yan retracted his gaze and looked at Wang Yong and Qian Tong.

"Let's be calm, this time to deal with the flood, I will personally go to inspect the river, and the rest of the things will be postponed."

"Yes."

Wang Yong and Qian Tong stood up and roughly explained the recent situation.

When they went to the river, Wang Yong Qiantong and other officials followed, and there was a team of guards in front of them to separate those people, only Zhang Jiqian was on Li Yan's side.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have carefully observed the area along the river, there is a gap between Mengchuan and Linchuan that is wide and deep from the riverbed, and more importantly, there are few people living around, and the ministers think that the court can pay to move them away and build a dam there. When there is a large flood, you can resist it, and then discharge the flood downstream one by one."

"Just ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiqian sighed; "The minister has just put forward this idea, the support of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry was immediately cut off, and this matter had to be delayed, and now that the emperor is here, the minister wants to ask the emperor to decree that after the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry resume transportation, start building the embankment as soon as possible."

Li Yan nodded, and said, "Before I came this time, I also found a helper for you. ”

Zhang Jiqian looked over suspiciously.

Li Yan continued: "This person is in Linchuan, and he is from the same clan as you. ”

Zhang Jiqian immediately understood: "The emperor is talking about Zhang Hengzhi? ”

Li Yan looked at Zhang Jiqian: "Do you know him? ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister has also heard of him during his time here, and I heard that this person was sent by the imperial court a few years ago to cooperate with a water control official to control the flood, but later he was involved in a corruption case."

Zhang Jiqian said this, thought about it seriously, and then continued: "The minister heard that at that time, this case implicated many people, the official who presided over the flood control was removed, and the officials of all sizes here have also changed a lot. The minister also visited a few days ago, but he did not see anyone, according to his family, this person went to visit friends, and I don't know when he will be back. ”

Zhang Jiqian said about this case of flood corruption, Li Yan also knew that his wings were not yet full at that time, and many things could not be done, and on the file that was put in front of him at the beginning, the official who dealt with the flood was indeed involved in the corruption case.

But he remembered Zhang Hengzhi.

The drawings drawn by this man back then are still well stored.

This person may not have gone to visit friends, but he was afraid that he would be disappointed and refused to do it again.

Li Yan looked back and saw Zhang Jiqian's regretful appearance, and said with a smile: "I went in person, can't I see him yet?" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Jiqian looked up in surprise, but saw Li Yan standing under his eyes, and there was a scorching light in the eyes of the young king.

A thousand indescribable stirring emotions suddenly rose in his heart.

"Please come along!"

It is rare to be so restrained everywhere and circulate in the harem that the king has not grown into a person who only knows intrigues and tricks.

Capable and virtuous corporal, whether rich or poor.

Such a king, even if his wings are temporarily bound, who can say that he will not be able to break free from the shackles one day and ride the wind?

When that day really comes, it is the time to show your strength and work for the benefit of the people!

And now, they just need to do what they are doing now, at least protecting the people now!

For those who are ministers, all they want is to be honest and straightforward, and they are also the people of the country!
