Early the next morning, Gu Haoyin handed over the rubbed portrait to Gu Jiancheng.

"This, you take it to Bai Ning."

"Okay, after entering the palace, my nephew will give it to the regent."

Gu Haoyin nodded, and when Gu Jiancheng was about to leave, she suddenly spoke: "Big nephew." ”

Gu Jiancheng paused, "I don't know what else my aunt commands?" ”

"I've been promoted, congratulations."

Gu Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, promoted?

The regent had told him that Luo Ji's affairs would be promoted if he got it, but Lord Jiang hadn't left yet.

However, the regent must have made a number when he spoke, and my aunt probably congratulated him in advance.

"Thank you, Auntie."

After Gu Jiancheng entered the palace with the portrait, he waited outside the main hall of the council, and with his official rank, he was not qualified to stand in the main hall for the early dynasty.

It wasn't until he dispersed that Gu Jiancheng waited for Yan Linyuan's summons.

"See the prince."

"Master Gu, please get up."

After Gu Jiancheng stood up, he handed over the drawing paper on his body.

"The portrait that the prince wants for this."

Lin Fan stepped forward to take the portrait and handed it to Yan Linyuan.

Yan Linyuan looked through it and found that each one was depicted like a real person.

"It's hard to take care of your Excellency."

"It's not hard for the lower officials, it's all done by the eldest lady."

Yan Linyuan handed over the album to Lin Fan and asked him to send it to Master Li.

"Early this morning, Lord Jiang submitted his resignation to this king, and the position of Qin Tianjian was vacant, and now, this king will appoint Lord Gu as Qin Tianjian, is Lord Gu willing?"

Gu Jiancheng was shocked in place, his aunt was really a god, and she could actually see that the regent had promoted him today.

"The lower officials must do their best to serve the imperial court."

Yan Linyuan bowed his head slightly and gave his will.

Gu Jiancheng walked out of the main hall, and the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't be suppressed.

It's not easy to stay up for so many years.

He was happily about to walk down the stone steps, but was almost hit by the Praetorian army who was walking quickly.

"Be careful, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Gu Jiancheng sat down on the stone steps, but fortunately he didn't roll down, otherwise he wouldn't have to ask for his old face.

The forbidden army turned back a little apologetically, "I'm sorry Lord Gu, I really have an urgent report to tell the prince." ”

It must be a big deal for the forbidden army to send an urgent report, and Gu Jiancheng didn't dare to delay others, so he hurriedly let him go.

"Congratulations, Master Gu."

Gu Jiancheng turned around and saw Master Jiang looking at him with a smile.

"It's Lord Jiang."

Lord Jiang waved his hand in a weird way, "I have already resigned from the office, but I am not an adult." ”

Gu Jiancheng has worked with Master Jiang for many years, how could he not know the yin and yang of his tone.

He secretly said that he didn't offend him either, could it be that he was blamed for robbing Qin Tianjian of the position?

When Gu Jiancheng was unknown by Yin and Yang, the forbidden army had already entered the hall.

"Report, Lord Wang, Qinzhou sent an urgent report, due to the heavy rain that broke the dam in Qinzhou, and now the flood is pouring down, not only flooding the fertile land, but also killing a large number of people, and now tens of thousands of people in Qinzhou are displaced."

When Yan Linyuan heard this, his face sank.

"The Qinzhou Dam has collapsed?"

"Yes."

Qinzhou is located in the south, and there will be waterlogging every year, so the imperial court has allocated a lot of money to strengthen the Qinzhou dam in the past, for fear that one day the dam will have problems and harm the people.

In the case of annual reinforcement, the dam still failed.

"Tell this king about the situation in Qinzhou in detail."

"Yes."

The forbidden army said that it was midnight when the Qinzhou dam collapsed, and the people on both sides of the river were still asleep.

As soon as the dam collapsed, a large flood washed down, and people died in their sleep, and now there is no way to count the death toll.

The rain in Qinzhou has not stopped now, and if it continues to fall, the area around Zhou will only become more and more extensive.

Yan Linyuan immediately sent someone to find the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.

Gu Jiancheng was about to get rid of Lord Jiang, who was yin and yang, when he saw Lin Fan come out of the hall with a tense face.

"Master Jiang, the official will leave first if he still has something to do."

After speaking, regardless of Lord Jiang's gloomy face, he walked directly to Lin Fan.

"Major General Lin." Although Lin Fan is now Yan Linyuan's personal guard, he also had a position when he went to the battlefield with Yan Linyuan before.

Lin Fan's footsteps paused slightly, "Why is Master Gu still here?" ”

Gu Jiancheng said: "I saw a forbidden army hurriedly entering the hall just now, I don't know what happened?" ”

It was impossible to hide the matter of the floods in Qinzhou, so Lin Fan told Gu Jiancheng about it.

When Gu Jiancheng heard this, this matter was not small, and he didn't dare to delay Lin Fan's errand, so he quickly got out of the way.

It's just that when he went to the government today, this matter has been haunting his mind.

He was still thinking about it until he went home to eat.

"Father, father?"

Gu Jiancheng came back to his senses, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Mingde sandwiched a piece of chicken for Gu Jiancheng, "Father, the food is going to be cold, why don't you think about it when you're full?" ”

Gu Jiancheng remembered that he hadn't told his family about his promotion.

He put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, and respectfully saluted Gu Haoyin, who was sitting on the main seat.

Everyone looked surprised, and they all followed Gu Jiancheng to get up and salute Gu Miyin.

Gu Haoyin was still holding a chicken leg in her hand, and she was stunned, "What is this for?" ”

"Thank you aunt for helping your nephew, today the regent has appointed his nephew to be the chief eunuch of Qintian, if it weren't for my aunt's help, my nephew wouldn't have been promoted so quickly."

Gu Haoyin said with a smile: "Today, I see that your Yin Hall is shining with red light, and it looks like something good has happened, congratulations." ”

"Thank you, auntie."

How long has Gu Haoyin been back, except for Gu Mingde, the imperial doctor, who is not so good at being promoted, the others who are mixed in the officialdom have jumped one level, and they really think that Gu Haoyin is their lucky star.

"I also said that why my father was so distracted just now was because he was happy for his promotion."

Gu Jiancheng also returned to the chair and sat down, "No, I just got the news today that the dam over there in Qinzhou collapsed, drowning many people, and it is estimated that the situation over there is very serious." ”

"How could the dam in Qinzhou collapse, I remember that the imperial court allocates a lot of silver every year to strengthen the dam, and eighty percent of it is swallowed by those people."

Before Gu Wenque finished speaking, he was glared at by Gu Jiancheng, "You kid is always open-mouthed, and you can't talk nonsense about things without evidence." ”

"Yes, I know grandfather."

After Gu Haoyin finished the soup in the bowl, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped her hands.

"Isn't that a lot of people dead?"

Gu Jiancheng nodded, "The dam collapsed at midnight, and all the villages along the coast were submerged. ”

As soon as Gu Jiancheng said this, everyone's mood became heavy.

How many people have to die here?

Gu Haoyin wrinkled her brows and said, "What time is it today?" ”

"Grandma Tai, it's the tenth day of the new year today."

Gu Haoyin's brows tightened even tighter, "On the tenth day of the first month, there are only five days before the ghost door opens in the middle of July. ”
