The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 980
"Deal with the servant who is guarding Chengqian Palace tonight, something that doesn't wink."

The emperor was furious at the moment, and naturally it was impossible to keep that dog slave alive.

De'an's face tightened, and his heart became even more terrified.Knowing that Xiao Yangzi would not survive today, De'an didn't dare to intercede for Xiao Yangzi.

Now that the flood in Changtian Mansion happened, the emperor is furious.If he begged for mercy, then he himself would not get well.

Who told Xiao Yangzi that he didn't have long eyes, and it was not good to offend anyone, but he even offended Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu is a celebrity in front of the emperor, how much the emperor values ​​Mr. Gu now, who in the court doesn't know?
Besides, handing over the sign at this time must be a big deal.

Xiao Yangzi is so blind, it's better to deal with it earlier, so as not to trouble him in the future.

De'an sighed. He looked at the clever kid at first, but he didn't expect to become rampant within a few days of joining him.

After leaving the Chengqian Palace, De'an glanced vaguely at Xiao Quanzi who was guarding the door, and then left without turning his eyes.

The six ministers, Hu Maoshen and others filed in. Several officials wondered what happened, and summoned them into the palace so late.

And it's still in the emperor's Chengqian Palace, which is the emperor's bedroom.Generally speaking, the government will only be discussed in the Imperial Study Room, which is abnormal.

Some ministers began to speculate wildly on the way here. Could it be that the emperor had an illness, so he secretly summoned them?
When these ministers met when they entered the palace, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, all silent.

Who would have thought to enter Chengqian Palace and find the emperor sitting upright.

Seeing that the emperor was in good health, Xia Qing's eyes flickered.Then he glanced aside, and found that Gu Chengyu was also there, and beside him was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully invite you to have peace!"

"Your Majesty, please see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Everyone loves you! It is reported that you came here so late because of a flood in Changtian Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. This place is in the lower reaches of the Tianya River. The river embankment collapsed and flooded the downstream villages. It is known that hundreds of people have died unfortunately. Can be killed It’s not just these hundreds of people, the others have yet to be verified!”

The emperor briefly talked about the matter, and now is the time to brainstorm.

Gu Chengyu hurriedly saluted several officials and stood aside.

"What? Your Majesty! The Tianya River burst its embankment? But you just received the water report?"

Dai Yuanji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, did not expect that there would be a flood, and he shouted in surprise.

"Huh! Water report? I only received a water report from Yingnan Mansion near the river just now, but Changtian Mansion, which has already been flooded, has not moved at all. I remember that the prefect of Changtian Mansion is Qian Huichun. How dare you hide it and not report it?"

The emperor was furious, even Gu Chengyu knew about it, and the court was kept in the dark.

Do you think that no one can cure him if the sky is high and the emperor is far away?
If it wasn't for the news from Ying Nanfu, he couldn't believe that Qian Huichun would have such courage.

With so many senior officials from rank one to rank three present, Gu Chengyu naturally couldn't force himself to stand out.

In fact, if you ask him to say, Qian Huichun would definitely not dare to hide it and refuse to report it, but he should still be thinking about how to report it.

There are many places that can be operated here. If it is operated well, Qian Huichun might even save his life.

However, it is naturally impossible for Gu Chengyu to contradict the emperor now.Anyway, judging by the emperor's appearance, he would definitely not spare Qian Huichun.

"Your Majesty, there is only Feige from Yingnan Mansion passing on the letter, and we don't know the details. It's not easy to formulate a plan without knowing the details!"

In order to quickly deliver the news to the capital, Feige must have sent the letter at first.If you want to know the detailed water report, you have to wait three to five days.

After all, Changtian Mansion is far away from the capital, so even riding a fine horse day and night, it would take at least five or six days.

"Follow me to see the territory of Jiangshan!"

The emperor thought about it, these officials are all Beijing officials, how can they know the geographical location of Changtian Mansion and the direction of the river?
In fact, the territory of Jiangshan is too large, and the flow direction of those river branches may not be marked, but it is better than empty words now.

"Your Majesty! I combined the map of His Highness the Crown Prince, and obtained the detailed annotations of the Changtian Mansion from the steward of the Ivy Minister. So I drew another map and asked the Emperor to look at it. It can be regarded as a reference for all ministers. "

As soon as Gu Chengyu made a sound, he attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

It was very eye-catching that an official from the fifth rank was mixed in with a bunch of senior officials above the third rank.

At this time, Gu Chengyu opened his mouth to offer the map again, which seemed even more abrupt.

"Oh? Very good! De'an, quickly present Gu Aiqing's map!"

The emperor picked up Gu Chengyu's map and checked it carefully, and found that it was roughly the same as the route on his map of Jiangshan.

As for the details, they are not on the map. It seems that the one in Gu Chengyu's hand is indeed more detailed than his.

"I see that Gu Aiqing also has a lot of experience in water conservancy. Come and tell the adults your opinion."

The emperor beckoned Gu Chengyu to pass, but Gu Chengyu was not polite.

He stepped forward and pointed to several prefectural roads in the south of the Yangtze River that were more vulnerable to disaster: "My lords, please look here. Changtianfu is the lower reaches of the Tianya River. There are fewer branches of the river here, and the river channel is narrow. The upper reaches converge into the tributaries of the river. Quite a few, so it becomes a situation that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the shape is quite like a funnel.”

Xia Qing looked at Gu Chengyu who was talking eloquently, although he felt disdainful in his heart, he also knew that this was an extraordinary period.

If he has any dissatisfaction, the emperor will not have the patience to listen to him.So he was very honest at the moment, and he didn't dare to ask questions casually.

"If grain is poured in through the opening of the funnel, the bottom of the funnel will definitely not be able to bear it. Either it will overflow, or the funnel will be broken. This is the case in the Yajiang River today. The downstream dam cannot withstand gravity and collapsed. As long as the dam is washed away, it will be like a gate being released, and the river will pour out."

As soon as Gu Chengyu explained, he pointed out to everyone what he thought was more dangerous.

"Once this place is submerged, the dams in other places will inevitably be affected, and it is very likely to repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, the top priority now is to evacuate other people near the river, save their lives first and then talk about other things. The submerged place has now changed. It has become a vast ocean, but we must do our best to control the river water in this area, and we need to re-dam the river to prevent the river water from diverting."

"Your Majesty! I don't know what the disaster will be like at the moment, and prevention must be done. But after the flood, how to resettle the people is more difficult."

Xia Qing didn't want Gu Chengyu to dominate, so he quickly expressed his thoughts.

Gu Chengyu couldn't help being contemptuous in his heart. The current problem has not been resolved yet, so he talked about the aftermath of the disaster, so let's talk about it first!
