Rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 451 Dilemma, Difficulty in Ningzhou

Chapter 451 Dilemma, Difficulty in Ningzhou

Ningzhou City, inn.

Jun Mochen was safe, but within two days, the people of Ningzhou had heard the news that the Yong'an Dam might burst.

At this time, the rain that had just stopped began to rain again.

"My lord, after these two days of inspections, I can conclude that if it rains continuously for a month, with the current situation of Yong'an Dam being strong and dry, the reinforcement will not work at all, and it is very likely that the embankment will burst." Said a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang.

He is the minister of the Nangong Lin faction.

"Hu Dawei is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so it's impossible for him not to know about this situation?" Ye Muxi asked.

Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, said, "Master Hu has been in the Ministry of Industry for 30 years, so he knows the situation of Yong'an Dam better than Wei Chen..."

"Then if he still doesn't leave, how sure is he that he won't break the embankment?" Ye Muxi frowned.

Jun Mochen frowned and said, "I don't think he is [-]% sure. He just gambled and got lucky. Now that the people are evacuating, he has to admit that he didn't rebuild Yong'an Dam last year. That's a death penalty. If you don't evacuate, you can't say There's still a chance."

"If he wants to survive, he will gamble with him with the lives of millions of people in Ningzhou City. It's outrageous!" Ye Muxi said in disgust.

Nangong Lin looked at Jun Mochen, "How is Ningzhou City?"

"No one in the entire Ningzhou City now knows that the Yong'an Dam may burst, but..." Jun Mochen looked a little disappointed, "It's just that not many people evacuated..."

Ye Muxi frowned, "Once the Yong'an Dam breaks, there will be no one out of ten in Ningzhou. Are they so afraid of death?"

"Go down and listen to the situation."

The inn has always been the best place to inquire about news, just entered the lobby on the first floor, sat down at a clean table, and heard the people at the next table talking about the Yong'an Dam.

"I heard that there will be a month of heavy rain, and the Yong'an Dam may burst!"

"I've heard about it too, but these are all rumors. Didn't the imperial court send ministers to reinforce the embankment? If the embankment is really going to burst, how dare the official stay here? He will definitely be the first to run away!"

"That's right. I heard that he is a second-rank Shangshu lord. Such a big official is not afraid of breaking the embankment. What are we afraid of? I don't know where such annoying rumors come from."

A man with the appearance of a scholar said, "You don't know that. Those rumors are all based on Mr. Hu's political enemies attacking him. Our Yong'an Dam was built for the first time 20 years ago by Mr. Hu. Nothing happened. Last year, the imperial court allocated funds to rebuild it again. It was repaired by Mr. Hu. Look at how tall and magnificent the repair is! Yong’an Dam is the shield of our Ningzhou. , nonsense!"

"Yes! There has been no accident in Yong'an Dam for 20 years, how could it happen?"

"Great, I'm worried, and I'm relieved to hear you say that. I still have a hundred chickens in my house. If we want to move them away, what will happen to my chickens!"

"Come, come, eat, eat, listen to those rumors..."

……

Although some people were worried, they were relieved when they heard that everyone said so, and it was well-founded.

King Chen took a wonderful move and put Hu Dawei in Yong'an Dam to stabilize people's hearts.No matter how rampant the rumors are, ordinary people have their own cleverness, and they don't just believe what you say. They think that Hu Dawei is in Yong'an Dam, so of course they don't believe that Yong'an Dam will burst.

Unless there is an imperial decree, it will be difficult for these people to leave.

After all, it's hard to leave their homeland, and they have to give up a lot of things that they can't take with them, and they won't leave until they have to.

But really waited until the Yong'an Dam burst, and I couldn't leave even if I wanted to.

In the previous life, this place became a vast ocean, and there were countless casualties.There is no way to stop this in this life. Could it be that history cannot be changed?
"Should I say that these people are ignorant, or are they smart enough to be mistaken by their cleverness?" Jun Mochen rubbed his brows, "Hu Dawei went to Yong'an Dam because he would die if he didn't go, at least there is still a way to survive if he goes, why not? It will become Yong’an Dam that won’t burst.”

Nan Gonglin said lightly, "The people can't think of this. If they can't get the imperial edict, it seems that the people in Ningzhou City won't withdraw."

"Think about it again, wait until the end of June, if no one withdraws, we can't stay here anymore..." Ye Muxi said.

Nangong Lin hummed.They have already tried their best to rescue them, but they can't kidnap people away, how can they kidnap the millions of people in Ningzhou?
"It's almost the end of June. By July, the Yong'an Dam may burst at any time..."

Ye Muxi looked in the direction of the capital, "I hope father and uncle can convince the emperor..."

The imperial palace, Nangong Yuan and Ye Lingxiao joined hands to seek an audience.

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Don't talk about it anymore. I have allocated funds to build Yong'an Dam twice. If I can't even hold back such a small amount of water, then I will really shame my ancestors. It is the heavy rain in the north that continues. I am afraid that the crops will not be saved, and I am very heartbroken, and I will go to the ancestral hall to pray for blessings from now on, hoping that the ancestors will bless them, and God will have mercy, so that this rainstorm will end soon."

"emperor……"

Nangong Yuan wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by the emperor:
"I want to pray for Dagan. Starting tomorrow, I won't see foreign ministers. All important affairs in the court will be entrusted to the ministers who care about your life. Unless it is a big event, don't disturb me. Heavy rain will cause trouble, and Jingzhong will be entrusted to Prince Chen and Prince Rui. It's time to practice. But the guards of the capital, you are the only ones who can reassure me."

Nangong Yuan clasped his fists, "I will swear to the death to protect the safety of the capital."

"We've been old brothers for so many years, and you're still so polite when you talk to me." The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, you guys step back."

……

"Brother Nangong, the emperor doesn't listen to persuasion at all." Ye Lingxiao sighed in embarrassment.

Nan Gongyuan shook his head and said, "The emperor and I have known each other since we were young. The emperor is majestic, wise and powerful. He is generally good at accepting advice, but there is one thing, he is not suspicious of employing people. Since he used Hu Dawei, Yong'anba has never been out. Now there is no proof, how could the emperor not believe him?"

"Hey, the emperor really doubts people, and employs people. Otherwise, we wouldn't have followed him to the death!" Ye Lingxiao said emotionally, "At the beginning, I was alone in the southern Xinjiang. If the emperor didn't trust me, I was afraid that I would support him With self-respect, since Nanjiang is self-reliant, the commander-in-chief has already sent your troops down to attack me, how can we cooperate so well to completely take down Nanjiang."

Nangong Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The emperor is such a person. So what can I do as a courtier, the king treats me like a gentleman, and I will repay him with life and death. Let's think of a way later."

……

Seven or eight days passed in a flash, and the torrential rain became heavier and heavier. The moat outside the capital had already flooded. It had not encountered such a heavy rain for hundreds of years, and the capital was already flooded.

"Hurry up, the water is up to your ankles..." Lin Mingyu directed the servants in the mansion to clear the water.

"It's madam..." Rows of servants poured out the water in the yard with pots and pans.

Ye Hong hid under the eaves and held Lin Mingyu's hand, his small face was full of worry, "Mother, I heard that there is water everywhere outside, so I can't go out anymore, why hasn't my sister come back?"
