Ding Xi said anxiously.

"I'm gone, it's safe, but I can't stop the breach, what will the people do! When the flood crosses the border, they will lose their homes!"

Not many people built brick houses these days. Most of the houses were made of mud and thatch. Even if the floods didn't break them, they could collapse, not to mention how many people died in the floods.

"Block it, you must stop it!"

"Your Majesty, the people are almost exhausted."

When Li Wei came, the morale of the people increased a lot, but when manpower was limited, everyone tried their best to move a mountain to block the breach.

In order to block the breach, the people have been busy for so long, and there is no support for a long time, which has reached the limit.

"Move the horse to the breach."

If the emperor hadn't been here, the common people would have dispersed long ago when they found that the breach could not be blocked. Now seeing the emperor bringing people and horses over, the common people gathered on the embankment near the breach couldn't help talking.

"Kill the horse!"

Chapter 579 Uneasy

"what?"

"I said to kill the horse, throw the horse's corpse in to block the breach."

Li Wei, who came from later generations, has watched the documentary on flood fighting. In order to stop the flood, the muck trucks filled with sand will be thrown directly into it.

There are no cars in this era, so we can only lose horses.

"No way, Your Majesty, these are good horses, the foundation of the country!"

Years of wars have caused the number of horses in Qin to drop sharply. Without horses, there will be no cavalry, and they will not be able to stop the iron hooves of Jin and the blades of Han and Chu.

Even if it is just economic accounts, so many horses are worth more than ordinary people.

The elders and patriarchs in the vicinity also spoke out to dissuade them. They don't understand the importance of war horses to the country, but everyone in the village knows that big animals are more valuable than people.

"Your Majesty, let's move sandbags, we can't kill horses!"

"The breach is getting bigger and bigger. How can I move the sandbags? Even if I move, how much strength do I have? How much can I move? Kill the horse immediately and block the breach!"

Seeing Ding Xi's hesitation, Li Wei drew out his sword and stabbed it into the horse's neck.

The mount seemed to have a premonition of its own destiny, and without any resistance, it looked at Li Wei and fell to the ground.

"Kill the horse!"

The BMW emperor who had been with him for many years could bear the pain and kill him. Ding Xi dared not hesitate. After giving the order to kill the horse, he personally killed his mount.

In order to block the breach, Li Wei went all out, but the horse corpses could only be thrown into the breach one by one. As long as one was thrown in, it would be swept away by the raging flood, but it still couldn't stop the breach.

"Your Majesty, I have done everything that can be done. This is God's will. Let's leave quickly."

"You bastard, how could it be a natural disaster this time? Even if it is God's will, as the Son of Heaven, I have to fight with God! Jump down and stop the flood!"

The horses were all killed, and the only way now was to employ people. Facing dozens of fierce golden men, Ding Xi dared to draw his sword and charge forward, but facing the raging flood, his first reaction was to retreat.

"Shui Taotao, but there is no way for us to retreat. Behind us are the people. Serving as soldiers and eating food is not to serve the court, not to enshrine wives and children, but to protect the people of one side! I will not force you, I am willing to work hard for the people , just follow me to block the flood.”

After finishing speaking, Li Wei took advantage of the fact that the guards didn't react, and jumped down directly.

The emperor actually dived into the water, everyone was shocked, Ding Xi didn't have time to think, his first reaction was to jump down to save him.

As soon as he fell into the water, Ding Xi couldn't stand still. If it wasn't for the powerful Li Wei who grabbed him, he would have been swept away by the flood.

Even the emperor fought the flood with his own body, so what did the others dare not? Not only the guards kept diving, but even the eunuchs brought by the sixth father-in-law also jumped into the flood.

If Wei Yongjie hadn't reacted in time and stopped the people, everyone on the embankment would have jumped off.

"Stop, stop! Throw the horse carcass in while the flood is slowing down! Quick!"

More than 300 people jumped into the water and pulled each other, forming three human walls, which instantly weakened the momentum of the flood. After the horses were thrown in, they would never be washed away again.

"Your Majesty, go up quickly, there are ministers waiting here."

"Nonsense, I managed to hold everyone together. As soon as I move, the wall of people will collapse? With you guarding me, why should I be afraid!"

Hearing that the emperor trusted him so much, many guards and eunuchs burst into tears, gritted their teeth, and blocked the breach even more firmly.

The emperor was desperate, and the people seemed to have been beaten to death, roaring and throwing everything at the breach.

After more than half an hour, the breach was finally completely blocked, and Li Wei also crawled out of the flood under the protection of the guards and eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, quickly change into clean clothes and warm yourself by the fire..."

Kicking away the sixth father-in-law who had just crawled out of the water, Li Wei said anxiously: "Ding Xi, count the number immediately. I saw that some warriors were washed away by the flood just now."

After counting, six bodyguards and two eunuchs were missing, and Chen Yuzhou, who had just been promoted by Li Wei, was also missing.

"Hey, to die for the people is a worthy death."

God seemed to be frightened by Li Wei's desperate tricks, the rainstorm started to weaken, and the people present knelt down to worship, but this time, they were not thanking God for reducing the rain, but the emperor who saved the lives of their homes.

"Get up, Ding Xi, you stay behind with two hundred guards, in case there is another problem with the breach, little six, you immediately go to the local government and ask them to deliver supplies and reward the people. Wei Yongjie, you and I will go back to Chang'an and figure out this. Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.”

Most of the horses were slaughtered, and those who were not killed were left on the embankment to carry sandbags. Li Wei and his party could only walk back to the city in the rain.

When they could see the city wall of Chang'an, God seemed to think that the ants on the ground would not be killed if it continued to rain, so they simply stopped the rain.

As soon as the heavy rain stopped, the entrance of the palace became lively. Bi Siqian, who had successfully bowed his head to Li Wei in the court hall, once again became the leading brother, leading an army of hundreds of trolls with officials as the main force and civil servants as the assistant, holding memorials in each hand , to meet the emperor.

Behind them, there are nearly a thousand scholars who are fledglings and do not understand the dangers of officialdom. The scholars who were fooled with a few words wanted to speak up for the world. As soon as they were notified, they all brought their own dry food as support groups.

In the outermost area, more people gathered, waiting to see the excitement.

Faced with such a big battle, Fan Yi, the deputy commander of the inner guards, was about to cry. The emperor suddenly left the palace, and the chief commander and chief executive followed him. In the entire palace, there was no one who could take charge. A master who dared to fight and kill, but at this critical time, it is difficult for the harem to fall into the handle of interfering in politics.

In the end, Fan Yi, the deputy commander who couldn't bear it but had to stand up and bear it, could only take charge of the overall situation.

"What do you have to say, give a memorial to the cabinet, what are you doing in the palace?"

Bi Siqian, who has enough support behind him, is not afraid of anyone now, and said directly: "The cabinet is called a cabinet minister, but it is actually a retainer of the emperor. We are worried that there will be treacherous people who will hinder the hearing of the emperor. Today, we must personally face the emperor and present a memorial!"

"Bastard, you dare to slander the cabinet, do you know what crime it is?"

"If you enter, you will be beheaded. I will admit it! Colleagues and scholars, the heavy rain has fallen recently, the Feng River has flooded, and the people have suffered. For the sake of the common people in the world, and for His Majesty's holy name, even if you die today, you have to meet His Majesty and state your interests!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of applause, and Bi Siqian suddenly felt a pleasure of ruling the world, and his whole body floated.

"Give me the memorial, and I will personally deliver it to His Majesty."

"No, we can only rest assured if we hand it over to His Majesty in person!"

"Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you just say you see him?"

"God has issued a warning sign that the people of the world are about to suffer and suffer. At this time, will your majesty refuse to even see us?"

Faced with this question, if you are not careful, you will be guilty of slandering the king, and Fan Yi dare not answer at all.

"Crafting and sycophants obstruct the sage's hearing! Colleagues, the dynasty has been supporting soldiers for a hundred years, and the day of righteous death is now! Go in and see your majesty!"

Even the imperial officials dared to make trouble, and the scholars became angry and clamored to storm the palace gate together. The people behind them didn't expect such a big commotion today, and they also became excited.

Guarding the palace is the duty of the internal guards, even a group of powerless literati must not let them break through the gate of the palace.

Fan Yi personally raised a spear and said viciously: "Don't move, anyone who dares to step forward will be killed!"

"Okay, if you want to kill, kill me first. No one who dares to come here today is afraid of death! For the sake of the world, why should you be afraid of death?"

There will never be a good end to such a disturbance, but the participating officials have long been promised that they will use their own lives in exchange for the rise of the family, so that their children and grandchildren will have no worries. It is very worthwhile.

Under the leadership of Bi Siqian, the officials walked towards the palace gate step by step without fear.

Everyone in front of them was ordered by the imperial court, so Fan Yi dared not do anything. Bi Siqian took a step forward with the civil servants, and he took a step back with the inner guards. The last row of soldiers quickly retreated to the palace gate, and he had already retreated. Refundable.

"Don't come here, or I'll be really rude!"

The old fritters who have been working in the officialdom for decades have long seen Fan Yi's external strength and middle performance, and continue to move forward.

There were too many onlookers, and the carriage couldn't get in. At this time, Lin Qianru was under the guard of more than a dozen experts, watching the excitement at the gate of the palace with cold eyes.

To buy officials, the Chang'an Bank headed by He Shengchang paid a lot of money. Now it seems that the money is worth the money. This time, not only will Li Wei completely abolish the reform of the currency system, but also let him make adjustments in the money policy.

"Missy is really resourceful and resourceful. A generation of kings will bow their heads. The master will definitely reward Missy."

Facing the compliment, Lin Qianru frowned tightly, "I always feel that something is wrong."

"God's sin must be the emperor's negligence. With so many officials forcing them to die, the emperor does not want to lose the hearts of the people all over the world. He must compromise."

"I can't tell exactly what's wrong, but I always have this feeling. Is there something wrong with Ma Jinfei?"

Lin Qianru thought for a while and asked.

"Absolutely no problem. Ma Jinfei just looked for the villain, and his disciples have already mixed into the crowd. If the inner guards dare to attack the officials, they will encourage the people to storm the palace gate."

The attack by officials is just persuasion, but the attack by the people is rebellion, and the excitement is even greater.

After thinking about the whole thing repeatedly, Lin Qianru was sure that there was nothing wrong with her plan, but the feeling of uneasiness was still lingering in her heart.

"Don't come here, my lords, it's not easy to get an official position after studying hard for ten years. Don't waste your life just for a moment of impulsiveness."

At this time, Fan Yi had already used a begging tone, which further fueled the arrogance of Bi Siqian and other officials. He winked over, and an old official pushed away the soldiers who did not dare to stop him, and hit his head directly on the palace gate.

The bright red blood frightened all the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and the horn of attack was sounded thoroughly, and all the officials rushed forward like crazy.

5 Chapter Eighty

Fan Yi didn't dare to do anything, so he simply led the officers and soldiers under his command to block the palace gate with his body, in case another official committed suicide, and resisted the beatings of the officials.

"I figured it out!"

In the crowd, upon hearing Lin Qianru's shout, Ou Weijian hurriedly asked, "Miss, what happened?"

"I thought about why I was uneasy. When things got to this point, Li Wei didn't even come out."

The Great Qin Emperor never played cards according to the routine. Before the southern officials knocked on the que, the emperor showed up directly. Now he is about to break into the palace. With Li Wei's style, how can he be a coward.

As soon as Lin Qianru thought of this, there was a burst of exclamation from behind her. When she turned her head to look, the onlookers behind her were in great confusion, but they voluntarily moved out of the way very politely.

Standing on tiptoe, Lin Qianru waited and watched for a long time before seeing Li Wei walking step by step.

The moment she saw Li Wei, Lin Qianru's first reaction was that the gang of beggars rebelled, and some beggars proclaimed themselves emperor.

It's not that Lin Qianru's imagination is too rich, but Li Wei's style is too unique.

The drowned Li Wei's crown was blown away by the flood long ago, his hair was disheveled, and the dragon robe was covered with mud, but there were no buttons, the sleeves were also shortened, and there was a big hole at the hem.

If it hadn't been for a heavy rain that washed Li Wei's face clean, he would have been arrested for treason the moment he appeared.

The guards following behind were also traveling like a gang of beggars. They looked more miserable than the other, and several of them had wounds on their faces and bodies.

"Could someone plot to assassinate the emperor?"

Lin Qianru asked suspiciously.

"No, I don't know."

When the emperor became like this, not only the people were shocked, but even the most restless scholars stopped.

After getting the news, Bi Siqian stopped making trouble. They were going to face the emperor today, but now the emperor appeared behind them, and the rear team directly changed to the front team.

"Your Majesty, you... Your Majesty, I came here today just to persuade Your Majesty..."

"How did the Feng River burst its embankment?"

Bi Siqian did not expect that Li Wei would ask himself this question, and immediately replied: "This is a warning from heaven."

"Warning? There is a breach in the embankment of Lidu Town, and the local government has done nothing. How did you know it in the first place? And you have written a memorial to form such a large team?"

"My minister listens...to what people say."

"Who said that?"

"It's not important. What's important is that the Feng River broke its embankment, the disaster spread thousands of miles, and the people were displaced. Hasn't Your Majesty woke up?"

Looking around, Li Wei said with a sneer, "It's true that the embankment broke, but I blocked it."

"blocked?"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Wei Yongjie stood up and said, "That's right, His Majesty jumped into the flood and blocked the flood with his flesh and blood!"

Wei Yongjie shouted this sentence with all his strength, so that as many people as possible could hear his words.

As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked.
