Chapter 86 Who is playing tricks
What?The dam was destroyed?
"What's going on?" Gao Qiji asked anxiously.

"Back to the lord, maybe everyone is too tired, and there has been no rain for the past few days, so we relaxed our vigilance a little bit. As a result... I don't know who is behind the trick. Last night, the sandbags at the dam of the hanging river were maliciously thrown into the river. In this way, the water level of the river As it rises, the surrounding sandbags become lower! It may be about to break the embankment!

General Yue has brought people to repair it, but it is raining heavily at the moment, fearing that it will be too late to fix it, the general ordered me to deliver a letter so that you can prepare! "The visitor replied tremblingly.

It's really a leak in the house every night when it rains!

"Lead the horse, hurry up!" Gao Qiji roared.

Turning to Li Siqi again, she said, "Leave the palace by yourself! Be careful on the way, I'll go first!"

After all, straddle the horse and gallop away.

Once the embankment breaks, the capital will be flooded!

The carriage to take Li Siqi out of the palace was late, she thanked the driver and got on the carriage.

Not long after leaving the palace, the carriage stopped abruptly.

"Girl, the car can't pass, I'll go ahead and have a look." The coachman's voice came from outside.

Seems to have hit a roadblock.

The coachman got out of the car and walked forward, Li Siqi opened the curtain to check, only to feel a white smoke coming towards him.

When she realized that she wanted to cover her mouth and nose, it was too late.

It was drugged!

This was her last consciousness before she lost consciousness.

……

When Gao Qiji rushed out of the city at high speed, his heart paused for no reason.

Before people left the city, the flood had already poured in. In an instant, the water depth on the flat ground in the city was three feet deep, and it was difficult for vehicles and horses to move.

It seems that the Xuanhe has finally burst its embankment!
Gao Qiji hurriedly abandoned his horse and left the capital by boat.

When Yue Yang and the soldiers saw him coming back, they all knelt down and pleaded guilty, "My lord, my subordinates did not do well and caused the hanging river to burst, I beg my lord to punish me."

Gao Qiji waved his hand, "This is not the time to talk about these things, let's make amends first!"

The matter has come to this point, we can only find a way to retreat the flood and stop the loss.

As for accountability, let's talk about it after the water recedes!

In the middle of the capital, all civil and military officials were trapped in the palace after they came down to court, and they had to take a boat to go home. The palace is located on a high terrain, and there are many rivers to disperse the water power.

The emperor had no choice but to dispatch ships to take them home, and issued an imperial decree: all officials should suspend their visits until the flood has receded.

Then, he issued an imperial edict to Gao Qiji, ordering him to try to retreat the flood within three days.

As soon as the imperial decree arrived, Yue Yang and the others broke out in sweat. The flood was so deep, not to mention three days, even ten days and half a month would not be able to recede the flood in the city!
But Gao Qiji said nonchalantly: "It takes three days to get back the flood!"

Yue Yang was taken aback when he heard this, "I don't know what the lord's plan is?"

Gao Qiji whispered to him...

Yue Yang applauded repeatedly without realizing it, and then went according to his instructions.

After Yue Yang left, Gao Qiji took a slightly larger boat and went straight to the palace.

When he arrived at the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor was frowning. Seeing him coming, he couldn't help being surprised, "Ji'er, shouldn't you be thinking about retreating the flood right now? Why are you here? What can I do for you?"

Gao Qiji said: "Reporting to my father, my son thinks that although the flood is evil, it is also a rare sight. I am afraid that my father's heart is better than that of the people, which will violate the health of the holy body. I want to invite my father to take a boat to enjoy it together." Rain scene."

The emperor said: "I am worried about the disaster of the flood, and I really don't want to enjoy the scenery. Besides, you only have three days to retreat from the flood. Don't you worry? How can you still be so elegant?"

After hearing this, Gao Qiji said confidently, "Father, why does it take three days to recede the flood? After my ministers have enjoyed the rain scene with you, the water will naturally recede immediately."

The emperor was startled, feeling a bit dazed, and asked half-believingly, "Is this really true?"

Gao Qiji said: "Father is in front of me, how dare my son make jokes!"

The emperor thought for a while and said, "As long as the flood can be receded, why not go with you to enjoy the rain scene."

So the emperor followed Gao Qiji onto the big ship.

From the inside to the outside of the capital, there are two big and small cities. The inner city is the inner city and the outer city is the outer city.

Gao Qiji's boat came out of the palace, entered the inner city, crossed the streets and alleys, and soon sailed into the outer city, and then turned left and right to the Jimin River in the outer city.

When the boat reached Pan Zuoshan's Hanhu Pond, Gao Qiji reported, "Father, this pool is called Qinglian, and the fish and shrimps in the pool play among the lotuses, and there are pavilions and terraces on the pool.

The most famous one is the Sunset Pavilion.Whenever the sun sets, the sun shines on people, and the afterglow is reflected on the water. The water and sky are the same color, and the scenery is charming!

However, although the scenery is good, it blocks the way of the flood. "

"Ji'er, I understand what you mean." The emperor interrupted Gao Qiji, "As long as the flood can be receded, no matter what happens, I will do it according to your wishes. You don't have to report back, you can cut it first and then play it!"

"Thank you, father!" Gao Qiji clasped his fists and knelt down to thank him.

Jimin River is a moat connected with Xuanhe River.

The hanging river has a high sediment content, and its river bed is higher than the river on both sides of the ground, so it is also called "the river on the ground".

Due to the open river valley and the gentle gradient in the middle and lower reaches, a large amount of sediment has accumulated, the river bed has been continuously raised, and the water level has risen accordingly.

In order to prevent water damage, the dykes on both sides of the bank have been continuously raised. As time goes by, the riverbed is higher than the ground on both sides of the bank, becoming a "hanging river".

Every year when the hanging river floods, the water level rises, threatening the safety of the capital.

In order to prevent floods, the capital built a waterproof city wall.A moat was also dug outside the city wall. This moat can accommodate the drainage of the capital during the rainy season, so that the capital will not be flooded.

Later, people called this river Jimin River.

But gradually, the Jimin River has become a river that harms the people.

It turned out that Pan Zuoshan's garden was located by the Jimin River.

Apart from him, other royal relatives and relatives living by the Jimin River also surrounded the Jimin River, raised fish and lotus, and built waterside pavilions, which made the narrow river even narrower.

The water of the Xuanhe River is blocked as soon as it reaches here, and when the rainy season comes, the water will pour back into the city.

Water entered the city. In order to prevent the water from flowing back, the dignitaries who lived under the embankment of the outer city entrusted their husbands to build embankments around their mansions to block the water, making the Jimin River narrower and higher.

Today, the Hanging River broke its embankment, the flood flooded back, and the Jimin River was blocked in many places, which hardly weakened the water potential, but instead caused the river to overflow, which finally led to today's flood.

Gao Qiji has ordered Yueyang to lead people to dredge the Xuanhe River and build embankments, and sandbags to block it.

But right now, I saw a few big boats sailing out from the corner of Hanyu Pond.

The strong wind, heavy rain, and thunder on the boat commanded dozens of people to jump up and start clearing the river barrier built by Pan Zuoshan and others for their own benefit. They cleared it for a whole day and night.

In the afternoon of the next day, the flood in the capital of Kaifeng really receded. The people in the city cheered and kowtowed!

The emperor issued another decree: People who live by the Jimin River are not allowed to raise fish in closed ponds, build pavilions and towers, and block the river course. Violators will be severely punished! The Xuanhe River will be staffed to manage it, build embankment houses, and set up special personnel to guard the river. !

The fuse that caused the flooding of the city this time was the destruction of the dams of the hanging river. The objective reason was that the river barrier blocked the city, and the moat did not play a role in protecting the city!

The river barrier problem of the Jimin River has been solved, and it is time to check whether the dam has been destroyed.

Who did it?
Gao Qiji ordered Lei Ming to continue to secretly protect Li Siqi, while he himself started to investigate the destruction of the embankment!

Although no embankment was built near the Xuanhe embankment before, there were people patrolling the river all the time. Even if the night guards were slacking off, it was just that the patrols were not so frequent, so there would be no one patrolling the river all night, right?
