Chapter 144

Dingguo sipped tea leisurely, the emperor smiled and said: "Liu Fei, your heart is not as good as mine, and you are angry again, your eyes are always angry."

"I'm fine."

"Well, I think I can deal with anyone, but I can't do anything against you, Liu Fei, you, learn from Yun'er, think less, and I can rest assured."

"I don't think too much, sir."

"..."

The emperor was silent for a long time, and said: "Forget it, you can drink tea with me."

The more he talked, the more annoying Liu Fei became!
Holding a jade card, Zhuge Yun mobilized the soldiers and horses of the two towns, the governor of the town soldiers looked down on him, Zhuge Yun didn't say much, and directly knocked down the governor of the town soldiers, "Now you listen to me!"

In the military, violent means are always better than Huairou.

He led people desperately to rush to the embankment of Yuhe River.

The torrential rain continued, and Yuhe Daotai commanded the people on the embankment to guard against death. The rising river water made him look particularly haggard. No matter how anxious he was, he had to act as if he was confident that he could hold the embankment. , He knew that the people and guards in the Yuhe embankment were watching him.

"My lord, Prince Cheng sent someone over to deliver a message."

The sound of the rainstorm made the person who answered almost scream, "It's His Royal Highness, Prince Cheng!"

Yuhe Daotai asked loudly: "Prince Cheng who guards the imperial tomb?"

"Yes."

"Prince Cheng's people, please come over."

"Yes."

A man with a round face walked up to Yuhe Daotai, bowed and said: "My lord, please move. The prince has a few words for the villain to pass on to your lord."

Yuhe Daotai had also heard that Prince Cheng had a good reputation. It was really surprising that Prince Cheng was sent to the imperial mausoleum by the emperor.

Although he is upright, he is indeed a person who knows how to be an official. He knows that in the eyes of the emperor, no matter how well he does, he is still a courtier, and he is no match for the prince. Besides, he is also worried about the imperial mausoleum. Once the river spreads, it will inevitably destroy the embankment... ...The direction of flood discharge can only avoid the imperial tomb.

None of the courtiers dared to put the people in front of the ancestral tombs of the emperor's mausoleum.

The people are the most important, and the king is the least, but it is just talking.

Even if the common people sing praises to him, and the emperor says to kill him, it is only a matter of one sentence.

Ancestral tombs are sacred and inviolable to the common people, let alone royal ancestral tombs?

He followed the people sent by Prince Cheng into the shed built on the embankment. There were bowls, chopsticks, and washbasins scattered in the shed. As soon as he entered, he smelled a damp and moldy smell. in this shed.

"The lord said that his ancestor had a dream last night and warned him that there was a flood in the Yuhe River. Although the lord believed in Lord Daotai, he didn't dare not listen to the late emperor's instructions. The lord said that it is better for the lord to evacuate the people of Yucheng, in case the imperial tomb is in danger. , the direction of flood discharge can only be Yucheng."

"My lord also said that it is better to believe in something than in nothing, and to be fully prepared to prevent problems before they happen is also a merit for you."

"My lord reminds me, don't forget that Yuhe is already the focus of attention of the entire state capital."

Yuhe Daotai tightly pursed his lips, and the muscles on his face were tense. He was skeptical about the words of gods and ghosts. Yuhe embankment poured all his efforts into it. He was very uncomfortable being questioned by Prince Cheng, but Prince Cheng said it well. Reason, what if you can't keep it?

The torrential rain for several days, the continuously rising river water, and the condition of the upper dam made it difficult for Yuhe Daotai to think too much about it. The tributaries of the upper reaches of the Yuhe River did not have a dam to store water... The severe situation in front of them made Yuhe Daotai confidence has been shaken.

But if he evacuates the people of Yucheng, rumors will spread everywhere, and the people on the embankment will flee for their lives in a hurry. The flood control strategy he formulated may fail. Son.

If he didn't tell the people of Yucheng, what if... even if he apologized himself, he would not be able to wash away his sins.

At this time, the late emperor came up with a warning in his dream. Although the late emperor was a mediocre lord, what if the late emperor regretted it?

Yuhe Daotai believed that Prince Cheng would not lie about this matter.

"Think about it again, please thank His Royal Highness Prince Cheng on my behalf,"

Yuhe Daotai thought about taking another look. According to his experience, this heavy rain is likely to be the last heavy rain. As long as he survives these few days, this danger will pass.

"grown ups……."

"You don't need to say anything, please also ask Prince Cheng to guard the imperial mausoleum. Once the imperial mausoleum seeps water, it is no joke. The heavy rain in the past few days, even if the Yuhe embankment can keep it, there is also some water around the imperial mausoleum. The ground around the mausoleum is soft and prone to water seepage, you remind Prince Cheng to be more careful."

"Yes."

The man didn't try to persuade him any more, and left the embankment quickly.

Yuhe Daotai silently prayed to God, begging God to bless the Yuhe embankment to survive this catastrophe.

Not far from the river embankment, Prince Cheng was wearing a coir raincoat and listening to his subordinates’ reports. The heavy rain made him unable to open his eyes. He stood in place like a pillar, and Awan, who insisted on following, said, “Your Majesty, it’s time to make a decision.”

Prince Cheng didn't speak. After a while, he waved his arms vigorously, and the people beside him whispered, "Obey."

A Wan held Prince Cheng's stiff, cold, wet hand, and Prince Cheng whispered, "I'm fine!"

He led the people to stand on the highest slope, and the gunpowder could only blow up a little bit of the embankment. After all, there are many people on the embankment now, but in this case, as long as there is a breach of the embankment, people's hearts will be confused. It was too late for the Hedaotai to release the flood.

"The imperial mausoleum is all set up, my lord, we have to hurry back to the imperial mausoleum. Yuhe Daotai is too stubborn...that's why I missed the good opportunity to evacuate the people of Yucheng."

"Ah."

Prince Cheng’s face was stern, and Awan’s consolation and shirking of responsibility did not make him feel lighter. This matter would indeed give him a good chance to return to Beijing, and it would also make him look differently to his father, but at this moment, Prince Cheng was full of worries .

There was a loud noise, and the gunpowder blasted a gap in the embankment, and the people on the embankment shouted: "It's no good, God's wrath, God's wrath, the embankment is broken, the embankment is broken!"

Yuhe Daotai's feet went limp, and he cried out in grief, "God hates me!"

Seeing the river rushing and the dam crumbling, Prince Cheng turned around and got on his horse and said, "Let's go."

He didn't want to see the scene of being submerged, and besides, he had to go back to the imperial mausoleum along the mountain road... Awan silently prayed to the sky, and then got on the horse... Just when the situation was irreversible, a message came from the direction of the capital The sound of the horses and the hooves of the horses seemed to be able to suppress the rainstorm. A group of people rushed to the embankment like a torrent. They were faster than the river, and the raging river seemed to be much weaker in front of the torrent.

"who are they?"

Prince Cheng reined in, "Who are they?"

In the dark rainy night, the long torches were suddenly lit, illuminating the military flags of the fourth town and the fifth town. Prince Cheng's face changed drastically, "Is it from the capital?"

Zhuge Yun saw that the embankment was about to burst and was in danger of bursting at any time, so he shouted, "Get out of the way, people, leave it to us!"

He pulled the governor of the fourth town and said: "Block it, the dam must be blocked."

"But... my lord, why are you blocked?"

"Aren't there earthworks and other things behind?"

Zhuge Yun dismounted his men and observed the situation carefully. Although the situation was dangerous, there was still a possibility of rescue. Until the last moment, he didn't want to just guard the ancestral tomb of the imperial mausoleum!

Because of the experience of the previous life, Zhuge Yun calmly ordered his men to fill the embankment to close the broken embankment as soon as possible. He asked other town soldiers to complete the embankment and get in touch with Yuhe Daotai. Sandbags, earthen bags, what to add .

Yuhe Daotai is a man capable of water control, he listened to Zhuge Yun's command properly, he suddenly became energetic, and also mobilized the people to fight against the sandbags.

The people on the embankment became much quieter. Seeing that the soldiers from the capital were risking their lives to rescue the people, they also threw themselves into it one after another. Their organization is not as good as that of the soldiers, but they can still do things such as carrying logs and earthworks.

Fortunately, Zhuge Yun defeated many thorns on the way here, and the soldiers of the two towns also knew that Zhuge Yun's orders could not be disobeyed. Zhuge Yun often said, even if there is a fire pit in front of you, you have to jump if I tell you to jump!
Of course, just a few days will not make the soldiers believe in Zhuge Yun, but when they saw Zhuge Yun tied his body with a rope and jumped into the water, they no longer had another word, they just said in their hearts, madman, I didn't expect to be famous in the world. The great wit is a lunatic!

Prince Cheng slowly closed his eyes, "It's late."

A Wan's eyes widened, why?Why is Zhuge Yun not acting like a person of this era?Could it be that my cousin was also time-traveled?
"As long as we survive this flood, who in the world will not know him?"

Prince Cheng shook his head crying and laughing, his busyness has helped others.

After the water flow slowed down, Zhuge Yun was dragged up, and Yuhe Daotai knelt in front of Zhuge Yun, sobbing: "On behalf of the elders along the Yuhe River, I thank the general!"

"No, I didn't do this for you!"

Zhuge Yun waved his hand wearily, and looked towards the direction of the imperial tomb, wondering if the people he sent out in private could do something in the imperial tomb?Hmph, the ancestral tomb of the Dajin Imperial Mausoleum has nothing to do with Zhuge Yun!

If Prince Cheng can't afford to walk around, how can he live up to his reputation as a treacherous and crazy man?
Zhuge Yun doesn't care about digging the emperor's ancestral grave, which others dare not do!
Just now Zhuge Yun heard a loud noise, and just now he checked the collapse of the river embankment, and vaguely smelled the smoke of gunpowder. Others may not understand, how could he not understand if he has experience with gunpowder guns?
Zeng Rou said that Shang Wan may have lived for three generations...Even if Prince Cheng wiped out the whole story, how could Zhuge Yun let him hide?If the imperial mausoleum seeps water, the crime of Prince Cheng will be serious.

Doesn't Prince Cheng want to return to Beijing?Does it count as being escorted back?

Zhuge Yun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, Xiaorou, those who are our opponents are very unlucky...
