I am Feng Jun

Chapter 980 977. Another Sleepless Night
According to Shen Ci's instructions, Hongjin first invited Gu Qianqiu, and then Dong Hua, Governor of Yangzhou.

When Dong Hua went in, Gu Qianqiu stood on one side, the shock on his face that was not weaker than when Hong Jin went out had been suppressed, replaced by the worry that should be there now, a gully between his brows loomed.

The man sitting in the middle slowly raised his eyes to look at Dong Hua, whose official robe was a little wrinkled and messy due to the long journey. The cold gaze shot out from behind the bronze mask, which made people feel inexplicably cold and couldn't help but surrender.

In fact, there are many flaws, if you want Gu Qianqiu to say it.

Phoenix eyes, height, hair, figure, internal strength, many details cannot be perfected in a very short time.

But the natural momentum and the cool voice that was exactly the same as Mu Yuanxi made it easy for these local officials who didn't know much about the Empress to blur those details.

"Chen Dong Hua, I greet Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

At least the current Dong Hua knelt down even though he felt strange about the bronze mask.

"Um"

A deep and cold voice came out of his throat. Dong Hua, who had passed his forties, didn't feel anything wrong. He stood up slowly. Seeing Hong Jin and Gu Dashi standing on both sides of the empress, she couldn't possibly There is no doubt about the identity of the person sitting in the middle.

Just unavoidable doubts.

"Your Majesty, this is."

What does it mean to wear a mask?

"Slightly hurt."

From behind the mask came a cold and slightly hoarse voice, with a deep tone that was neither high nor low, and slightly close to neutral, Shen Ci could certainly do it.

Even Hong Jin and Gu Qianqiu didn't hear anything unusual, let alone Dong Hua who only saw the Empress once a year.

However, Dong Hua's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and his voice raised a little.

"Injuried?!"

It shouldn't be!Your Majesty was known as the God of War on the border of northern Xinjiang when she was the Crown Princess, and won every battle, why is she injured now!

"Cough, cough, cough."

With a few coughs that seemed uncontrollable, Shen Ci supported the table with one hand, and his knuckles slowly tightened. Dong Hua instinctively wanted to step forward in surprise, but was stopped by the "Empress" raising his hand .

Gu Qianqiu found out that the male lead's acting skills are not weaker than hers, she sighed behind Shen Ci, and then said lightly.

"My lord Dong, yesterday at the embankment of the Wuhe River, His Majesty was wounded a little bit because he fought with Lan Yi, a monster who used an evil method to attract thunder and blow up the embankment. So Your Majesty wears a mask."

There is too much information in this sentence.

First of all, the reason why the dike was blown up was the national teacher, no, it was the former national teacher Lan Yi, and His Majesty went to fight against him, resulting in injury.

According to Gu Qianqiu's words, the wound is on the face, so it needs to be covered?And those weak coughs with perseverance just now, it sounds like the internal injury is serious!

No wonder she didn't feel the fluctuation of the internal force on His Majesty's body, presumably it was because of serious injuries that she couldn't function!But even if there were no internal force fluctuations, this deep and majestic aura made her dare not underestimate it.

"Then dare to ask how Lan Yi is doing now?"

Dong Hua is a quick-tempered person, and he can act freely. It is not easy for a person to be the governor of a state.

She knew very well that the news that the dam was blown up by thunder could not be stopped at all, and she could guess what kind of rumors would arise once it spread, so she was extremely worried.

"died."

With just two words, Dong Hua sensed bursts of gloomy sharpness. While being shocked by the result, Dong Hua was surprised that His Majesty was so angry.

However, if you think about it, His Majesty has attached great importance to the embankment of the Wuhe River from the very beginning. Last year, he executed a group of people, and this year he specially came to inspect it.

As a result, one of them was ruined by Lan Yi and was seriously injured. Everyone was angry, let alone the nine-five-year-old who was calculated,
The 'Empress' was seriously injured, so she spoke concisely, relying on Gu Qianqiu who was at the side to embellish the thrill of last night and tell Dong Hua.

This was discussed between Shen Ci and her in the short time just now.

The news that Mu Yuanxi was knocked unconscious by the lightning could not be revealed, but she could be seriously injured.

As a female empress, she was in the center of the disaster, she did it herself, and she was even seriously injured because of it. After all, she could win some people's hearts.

And it is more credible to spread it through Dong Hua's mouth. Shen Ci also intends to see Dong Hua alone, as for the others, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.

Hong Jin, who went all the way to invite people, didn't know what Shen Ci and Gu Qianqiu were plotting, but was a little surprised that Gu Dashi was so convinced by Feng Jun's pretended majesty.

She was silently observing from the side, and after the initial surprise, she gradually discovered some flaws in Feng Jun's body.

But when he and Dong Hua began to discuss how to deal with the disaster in Yangzhou, they didn't show any timidity, and various plans seemed to have been thought up long ago. Although his voice was pretending to be weak, the momentum in his words was not weak at all.

Dong Hua came anxiously, and walked away calmly in admiration.

Hongjin's heart was extremely complicated for a while, but at the beginning, the anxiety that those things were left unattended slowly dissipated, and gradually replaced it with another kind of worry.

What exactly does Feng Jun mean?

*
This night was another sleepless night, the government office was brightly lit, and the rain stopped, but when the sun rose the next day, it allowed people to see clearly the tragic image of the disaster.

After half a month of continuous rain, the dam was destroyed, and the flood broke out. The water in the city was increasing, and it was as high as half a person.

There are also many houses that survived the torrential rain in the previous period and collapsed in the rain that intensified again after the thunder last night, and countless people lost their homes.

The villages outside the city were even more tragic. The 3000 nearest villages were destroyed by the flood, with more than [-] households and nearly [-] people. Only a hundred people survived.

In addition, the water level of the various sub-canals has skyrocketed, the embankments have been destroyed, and the fertile fields and roads have been submerged.

The locust control medicines sent from the imperial capital in the past few months were also a waste of effort. There was no need for the locust plague after the rain, and the flood alone was enough.

Even though Shen Ci came out of his mouth and various orders supervised by Dong Hua were issued quickly, the Golden Eagle Guard followed the Yangzhou garrison to rescue the disaster and eased the situation to some extent, but they still couldn't relax.

Disaster situations vary from place to place, but the common thing is the need for money. The disaster relief funds in the imperial capital are rushing in, and the reserves in Yangzhou alone won't last long.

Food, money, urgent.

At this juncture, an imperial decree came out from the Nanwucheng government office to open warehouses and release grain, and to distribute grain from areas that were not affected by the disaster or were not severely affected, such as Suzhou and Yingzhou, to relieve the urgent need.

The resignation of this imperial decree was not stable, not because of the wrong identity, but because those granaries were military rations stored for wartime.
