There is a dragon

The last autumn rain of this year, the impact is still too great.The National Teacher has already made a prediction that the rain will not stop before the Winter Clothes Festival. According to the rainfall calculation, the capital will inevitably be flooded.

In the past, there were heavy rains that flooded the city, and Tang Cun'an acted quickly, quickly coming up with a plan for approval by the provincial government.

It rained heavily every day, and many houses in and outside the city were flooded, and even the city walls were submerged and collapsed.Now the price has started to go up in the city, the rice, grain and vegetables have been looted, and the people are sitting at home, hoping for a sunny day.

The drainage is not smooth, and the fish and shrimp swim together with the belongings in the water. No matter how deep the water is, it is impossible to salvage it. You can only watch the things float away and feel distressed.

"Fortunately, there have been no drowning yet." Jiang Mian held the wat board in his hand and bowed forward. "There are people watching in places where the water is deep and turbulent. It is strictly forbidden to go into the water to salvage property. Now there is a shortage of various supplies in the city. For a long time, There will inevitably be disturbances."

People outside the city can't come in, people inside the city can't go out, the transportation of materials is interrupted, walls collapsed and houses collapsed, roads were blocked with mud tiles, the capital has become a country.

Jiang Mian pursed his lips and lowered his head. He came in from outside the palace, and this is what he saw along the way. The emperor in the palace was sitting on the throne, with clean clothes and dry hands, completely different from outside the palace.

Unlike the previous floods, this rain was not the heaviest, but it lasted the longest.

I don't know if the old plan that has been followed for so long can work.

Princess Dekang has been standing quietly waiting since entering the palace.

After listening to Jiang Mian's report, Ye Jingshu caught a glimpse of her being hesitant to speak again, rubbed between her brows, and waved him back.

Jiang Mian raised his head and looked up. Ye Jingshu's brows were tightly wrinkled, and he looked a little impatient. He hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Your Majesty, please temporarily suspend the construction of the Pingshan Tunnel, lest the flood in the capital become worse and irreversible."

"What's the matter with the Pingshan Tunnel?" Even now, Jiang Mian is still determined to stop the construction of the Pingshan Tunnel.Ye Jingshu had a severe headache, and when he looked up again, he saw Xu Yuan standing behind Jiang Mian, looking like a debt collector.

My head hurts even more.

Jiang Mian said: "There is Pingjiang River on Pingshan Mountain. Once the tunnel is repaired, the river course will be affected. I heard that the Ministry of Industry is planning to divert the course."

To put it bluntly, dragon veins are actually the geography of mountains, rivers and rivers. Pingshan has complex terrain and guards the capital like a barrier. That's why it got its name. Now that Ye Jingshu wants to tear down this barrier, Jiang Mian feels it's wrong no matter what he thinks.

The waterlogging in the capital made him feel the crisis even more.If the Pingjiang river course is not improved, won't the capital suffer another disaster?

Pingjiang is just a small river, and compared with the real big river, there is still a big difference.Ye Jingshu didn't take it to heart, Lou Xinming said he could repair it, so he must be able to, in this regard, he chose to believe in Lou Xinming.As for how to fix it, he really doesn't understand it. Jiang Mian is talking to him now, and he is also playing the piano with Niu Niu.

What's more...

Ye Jingshu narrowed his eyes. Jiang Mian repeatedly prevented him from building the Pingshan Tunnel. Whether he had sensed his intentions or simply felt that the Pingshan Tunnel could not be built would fuel the arrogance of the Tang family.

"I know all these things, so I don't need to say any more." Ye Jingshu was irritated by Jiang Mian's noise, and moved past him to click Xu Yuan, "Xu Shangshu, tell me why you came here."

Xu Yuan didn't even bat an eyelid, and finished the report with a flat voice: "Lou Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry did not know anything about the above. When I went to the Ministry of Industry to check with him, he was not there, so I don't know where he went."

"Is Lou Xinming here?" Another person added to Ye Jingshu's headache.

Xu Yuanying claimed it was, and turned to look at Princess Dekang.

Ye Jingshu looked over, and the veins around his temples popped out.Well, it's inevitable right now.

Princess Dekang looked down at the floor, her face was blocked by her hair like a black cloud, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

"Let's put it aside for the Ministry of Industry. Right now, the waterlogging in the capital is the most important thing. Those who should be appeased should be appeased, and those who should be released should be given food," Ye Jingshu said, "I don't need to say what to do, right? If there are any difficulties, we can solve them internally. No more reports."

Xu Yuan took a step forward and said: "I have difficulties, which cannot be solved internally, so I need to report it now."

Jiang Mian's eyelids twitched. After Ye Jingshu spoke, he planned to take the order to resign. He didn't expect Xu Yuan to say it so bluntly. Didn't he see that Ye Jingshu was on the verge of breaking out?

Xu Yuan: "The construction of the Pingshan Tunnel has already prepaid the previous spare bank. The national treasury is empty, and the Jingzhao Mansion can't support it for too long. Apply for the treasury to call for support."

Without Xu Yuan going on, Ye Jingshu also knew that he had no money.

There is no one else who can do what the emperor does.Being chased for money all day long, and pretending to be a wealthy family, to maintain the demeanor of the lord of the world.

Fingers gripping the handle of the dragon chair tightly, the jagged carvings on it are cold and clattering, with moist water vapor, sticky and moist gold and iron smell.

Ye Jingshu asked, "What does Xu Shangshu mean?"

Xu Yuan saluted respectfully, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, please open the private treasury, rescue the national treasury in an emergency, and give charity to all people!"

If the eye knife could be turned into reality, Xu Yuan would have been cut into pieces and bleeding to the ground by now.

Jiang Mian gasped, she didn't expect Xu Yuan to have the guts to say such a thing after experiencing the Yizheng Palace incident.

Princess Dekang who stood aside as if she didn't exist suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Yuan in surprise.

The fingers kept tightening, and Ye Jingshu seemed to hear the sound of the carving and breaking of the handle. Jiang Mian had already knelt down, side by side with Xu Yuan, and said, "Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, cares about the people's livelihood. The bad rain from heaven is supposed to be a test for His Majesty." Maybe. Now that the people of the capital are in danger, and His Majesty's private treasury is full, this matter is nothing more than raising one's hand."

This matter is that it is useless for me to become Avalokitesvara.

Ye Jingshu kept a cold face, but didn't speak.He also wanted to be generous, but he really couldn't do it. The emperor had no money in his private treasury, and he probably didn't have many letters when he said it.But he couldn't explain it.

The atmosphere gradually froze, Ye Jingshu's eyes were bright, trying to let the courtiers understand through his eyes that the emperor would not be able to get the money out, so he just retreated and figured out a way, don't waste any more time.

However, the courtier below did not wink. After Jiang Mian knelt down, Xu Yuan bent his knees and knocked heavily on the ground: "Please open a private treasury to save people!"

Ye Jingshu wanted to kill someone, even if the two of them knelt to death here, it would be useless.Xu Shi was too angry, he could see several Xu Yuan Jiangmian kneeling below in a blink of an eye, so densely packed that it made one's scalp burst.

Princess Dekang lifted the corner of her skirt lightly, walked to the two of them, and said softly: "You two adults, why not go back first, there are many places in the capital with water, and the two adults are too busy, it is better to make arrangements as soon as possible."

Jiang Mian looked up at Ye Jingshu's face, and pulled Xu Yuan's clothes with one hand from behind.

In exchange for Xu Yuan's puzzled eyes.

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Mian pulled him up, stood up, and bowed to leave.

The emperor above said nothing, and let them leave.

"Brother Huang." Finally, the unrelated person was gone, and Princess Dekang walked slowly into Ye Jingshu, calling out to him softly.

Ye Jingshu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was wearing a dragon robe, his eyes were half-closed, and there was a gleam of light in the slits of his eyes.

"What's the matter?" The current Princess Dekang is very different from the previous encounters. She followed Jiang Mian and Xu Yuan to enter the Palace of Political Affairs, and Xu Yuan just came out of the Ministry of Industry.Ye Jingshu asked: "Lou Shangshu is not here, do you know the reason?"

Lou Xinming is obsessed with research, almost all his food and lodging is in the Ministry of Industry, and the only person he knows well in the capital is Ye Jingshu.Missing from the Ministry of Industry for no reason is equivalent to breaking away from Ye Jingshu's protection.

Now the situation outside is grim, and he had a quarrel with Lou Xinming again, which made him a little worried.If Lou Xinming left in distress in a fit of anger, with his weak physique, no one would be able to wait for someone to rescue him if an accident happened.

Princess Dekang stopped, did not answer his question, but said straightly: "Chenmei has a way to relieve the emperor's crisis, but please ask the emperor to agree to a condition after the matter is completed."

"I'm not in any danger." Ye Jingshu flatly refused. Princess Dekang is a person who lives deep in the inner palace, so how could she know what the urgent matter is that his eyebrows are angry now.Besides, what could she do to solve it?Troubles came one after another, and Ye Jingshu didn't want Princess Dekang to get involved.

Ye Jingshu: "I think the Queen Mother and the others have already selected a good husband and son-in-law for you. The imperial sister is still ready to marry. If there is any shortage of dowry, just send someone to inform. Although the imperial brother did not grow up in the palace, he will not owe you anything." , will definitely let you get married.”

After dealing with Jiang Mian and Xu Yuan, Ye Jingshu felt more and more tired, and just wanted to end the meeting with Princess Dekang as soon as possible.

He braced himself, tried to open his eyelids, and stared at Princess Dekang's dangling golden hairpin under the candlelight: "I am busy with state affairs, so it is inevitable that there are things that I can't take care of. I hand over all the affairs of the inner palace to the Queen Mother. If Kang has anything, you can go to the queen mother, I believe she will not make things difficult for you, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be too late to come here."

Princess Dekang remained motionless, and asked again: "Why doesn't the emperor believe in Dekang?" Her eyes were clear and clean, with the innocence of a girl. "Dekang has already reminded the emperor before, isn't this enough?"

Ye Jingshu was silent, he just waved his hand to ask her to leave.He didn't know the details of Princess Dekang, so he would never admit rashly that he was a strong man but was almost dragged down by a huge financial deficit.

His officials are surrounded by him, and his enemies are hidden in the dark. He really doesn't know who is the trustworthy person.

Dekang turned his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Lou Shangshu said, Brother Huang will definitely help me, why does Brother Huang..."

She suddenly stopped talking, stared straight, and the naughty figure on the dragon chair tilted and fell directly to the ground.
