every world is in su

The long drizzle is like a spider's thread connecting the vast sky and the earth. When it fell, it made puddles on the ground.

In the small wooden shed, there were about three or four strong men, wearing coarse short shirts, staring at the scene outside with trepidation.

I don't know who sighed, and then even the air in the small space seemed to become heavy.

The drizzling rain has been falling for too long, so long that the river has risen, and so long that ordinary people like them are beginning to despair.

"This rain is getting heavier and heavier."

A few people paid attention, and sure enough, at some point, the continuous drizzle had disappeared, replaced by torrential rain!

Suddenly, their eyes narrowed, noticing that with the onset of the rainstorm, the marks made by the imperial envoys of the imperial court had been covered. Their pupils shrank, remembering the imperial court's explanation, and immediately stood up in a panic. Run towards the village!

As far as they know, there are many small villages like this in their area, and each village has people left behind in the corresponding river channel. As long as the river rises beyond a certain scale, they will immediately settle the village and everyone retreats to a safe zone.

The waterways in the south are criss-crossed, and floods occur frequently. They know where to hide is the safest place when floods come.

Because of the notice from the imperial court, they had already packed up their valuables and stored a lot of food in the safe area where they were preparing to retreat. In this way, the loss would undoubtedly be minimized.

"Run away! Water, the flood is coming up!"

Following their desolate and sharp warning sounds, the whole village seemed to be awakened, and the villagers carried their bags in a panic, and began to walk in the established direction under the leadership of the prestigious old man in the village.

……

Different from Ningbo area, the capital city can be said to have a clear sky, and the clear blue sky looks lofty, but because of the sweltering heat, passers-by on the road are in a hurry, wishing they could have a piece of ice in their mouths.

But other people just think about it, where is there ice for them to eat at this time of year?They wiped the sweat from their foreheads, obviously not happy with this season.

But in the palace, Zhao Yunhong did not have such troubles, he hid in the shade of the Royal Garden, with a disgusted expression, an ice bowl was placed in front of him, the crystal bowl was crystal clear, and there were all kinds of local Seasonal fruits, there are still a lot of ice between the fruits, just looking at it makes people feel that the scorching heat is not very difficult.

Not only is it not difficult, it can be said that eating ice is almost enjoyable when it is hot.

Liu Fan, who was standing behind the little emperor, thought enviously, but the little emperor was self-willed in the blessings and didn't know the blessings. He heard the little emperor complaining a hundred and eight times: "Oh, life is really hard, and I don't know how to live." I know when we will hear about Lu Aiqing."

"Your Majesty, this servant has already given orders to the General Secretary. As soon as Minister Lu returns to Beijing, he will definitely report to this servant as soon as possible." Liu Fan bowed his waist and said.

Zhao Yunhong let out a groan, and said again: "Lu Aiqing is right, people grow up every day, just like me, I am more wise today than yesterday, don't I?"

Liu Fan accompanied him with a smile: "Your Majesty, this servant has always thought that His Majesty is extremely wise, but this servant is stupid. He clearly thinks that His Majesty is the most wise, but it happened to come to his mouth. With a flick of his tongue, he didn't know how to express his heart." .”

"You don't have as much ink in your stomach as I do. It's not surprising that you have thoughts in your heart that you can't express." Zhao Yunhong was the same as every time before. No matter what he said, he couldn't help but think of his sweetheart. His expression was a little fuzzy, and he said in a tone of exclamation: "My Lu Aiqing is different. He was born as the number one scholar, and now he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. In the future, I plan to let him gradually be promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites. One day, maybe Lu Aiqing can also join the cabinet. Like the other masters, their eyes are always on me."

Zhao Yunhong only figured out these things after Lu Zha left for a few days. Since Lu Qing wanted to make a difference and display his talents, he always wanted to help him.

Several masters in the cabinet stared at him, often catching his mistakes, and he felt more troubled, but if that person was replaced by Lu Qing, and Lu Qing was always looking at him, thinking of Lu Qing's eyes, he said I don't know, I just feel that although he is messing around in those eyes, Lu Qing sees him differently.

"He has beautiful articles in his belly. If he wants to praise me, he must... No, a person with such a noble temperament will definitely not be as flattering as you are."

After Zhao Yunhong finished speaking, he scooped up a mouthful of ice and ate it. While Liu Fan deeply disagreed with His Majesty's words in his heart, but on the surface he agreed with him. He was about to hold the little emperor and say a few words, when he saw a little eunuch approaching from afar up.

After receiving the secret letter handed over by his confidant eunuch, Liu Fan saw the words marked on it, and respectfully presented the secret letter to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, the General Secretary has news from Mr. Lu!"

Zhao Yunhong unfolded the letter eagerly, and looked at it at a glance, and soon the excitement and anticipation on his face disappeared, and he became pale visible to the naked eye.

"...It's really a flood. If, if something happens to him, what, what should I do?"

Big water is deadly!

In the past, officials ordered by the imperial court were washed away by floods during floods.

The little emperor shook his lips and muttered to himself: "I have a real dragon to protect my body. If I am by Lu Qing's side, Lu Qing will definitely not have any accidents."

Liu Fan was about to speak, when out of the corner of his eye he saw several cabinet ministers coming hand in hand, he stepped back.

After a while, the cabinet ministers arrived in front of the little emperor.

Zhang Song knelt down first, followed by several other cabinet ministers, Zhang Song's voice was extremely heavy, "Here is an urgent memorial, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yunhong accepted the memorial absent-mindedly, while Zhang Song took the opportunity to report the situation to Zhao Yunhong, "Fortunately, the court has prepared for the flood in the south of Ningbo Prefecture, but the loss in the south is still not small, and the court's compensation has to be prepared."

Although the imperial court sent Lu Shilang as an imperial envoy, the loss was relatively low to the minimum, but the compensation after the flood is also the key. After all, the flood damaged countless houses and flooded countless fertile fields. For a long time, the affected people The cost of food and clothing depends on the court's pension.

Zhao Yunhong looked a little dazed, pursed his lips, and said in a soft and sad voice, "I shouldn't have let Lu Aiqing go, I thought it was fine at the time, and everyone told me that it was nonsense, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have Let Lu Aiqing go."

Several cabinet ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. At this time, shouldn't His Majesty be concerned about whether the flood will recede or not, and how the people in the south will be affected by the disaster?In the face of such a natural disaster, they cared about a little servant, even if this servant made a great contribution this time, they admired him very much in their hearts, but listening to the words of the little emperor, they felt inexplicably sorry for the people affected by the disaster.

If the first emperor is still there, it will definitely not be like this.

Seeing the heavy hearts of several cabinet ministers, the little emperor felt that his heart was even heavier. He asked with anticipation in his eyes: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, let Lu Shilang go back to Beijing first, alas, there is a flood in the south, it is too dangerous Yes. There is a saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, right?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Song cried out, and said with a heavy mouth, "The most urgent thing now is to discuss disaster relief."

Zhao Yunhong waved his hand, "I don't understand disaster relief, let the masters decide this matter, Lu Aiqing—"

Zhao Yunhong said this, but he didn't continue. Looking at the faces of the masters, he knew that the masters would not agree, and his expression was also very heavy, "You always advise me, saying 'a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall Under that', a few masters say it's okay, but I say it won't work? Oh, that's all, let me be quiet for a while, the masters will treat it as...just treat me as sick."

The little emperor turned around and left, what else could the ministers do?Zhang Song took a deep breath. In the past, when the little emperor didn't want to go to court, he used illness as an excuse. Now it's obvious that the little emperor doesn't want to care about state affairs anymore.

Zhang Song looked anxious, "Masters, please take care of your health, this imperial court still depends on us old fellows."

Several people nodded silently, and returned to the cabinet to formulate disaster relief strategies.

The little emperor must be unreliable. They can't say they will live for a few more years. There is really no hope for this court.

Here, the little emperor returned to the palace with a gloomy face. Liu Fan and Li Denian behind him looked at such a little emperor, walking even more quietly, not even making a sound.

The little emperor returned to the inner palace, and sent the rest of the eunuchs and maids away, leaving only Liu Fan and Li Denian, and then said quietly: "I am going to look for Lu Aiqing, should you follow me, or should I go alone?" ?”

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Liu Fan and Li Denian knelt down immediately and hugged the emperor's thigh. This is a matter of life. If the two of them really leave the palace with His Majesty, if there is something wrong with His Majesty, Their two little lives plus the lives of their godson and grandson can't afford it!

But the arms are always unable to twist the thighs, the emperor insists on going out of the palace, how can these slaves stop him?

Not long after, at dusk, three people who looked like little eunuchs sneaked out of the palace.Of course, behind them, Liu Fan's secret guards who only obeyed the emperor's orders also followed, protecting the emperor personally.

Zhao Yunhong had never experienced such an experience before. As an emperor, he was always pampered. This was the first time he really went deep into the disaster area.The deeper you go to the south, the more you can feel the ruthlessness of natural disasters.

The fertile fields that were submerged, the people standing on high ground and crying bitterly facing the continuous river, all seemed to be beating him.

He has never known that he is not a good emperor, but seeing this with his own eyes now, he has a deeper understanding of this point.

After many days, they entered Ningbo Mansion with difficulty. Under the guidance of passers-by, they went to the embankment, and saw countless migrant workers busy. When they got closer, he finally saw the familiar man The figure, wearing an official uniform and an official hat, the official uniform is stained with dust, the official hat is sticky with sweat, and the soap-colored official boots are also covered with mud.

But that man was tall and tall, with a handsome and indifferent face, silent as if he could lift a mountain.

The eyes of the surrounding people are also full of admiration and worship.

"Are the people here all victims of the disaster?" Zhao Yunhong asked suddenly.

Someone nearby suddenly responded, "Your Majesty, you have sent Master Lu. In previous years, when the flood came, there were only hundreds of casualties? This time, there were only hundreds of casualties. It was because the people didn't listen to Master Lu, and they were greedy for their families. The goods that are taken away cannot escape being flooded.”

Another person was carrying the bag, and continued to say: "Who says it's not? It's all thanks to His Majesty's sageness. Mr. Lu is a good official. Mr. Lu has suffered a lot these days. He has been following the disaster relief. There's no time for a break."

There were voices of praise for Mr. Lu, Zhao Yunhong raised his eyes to look at that person, and saw that person wiped his forehead, as if he was wiping off sweat, and then his eyes suddenly met his.

Zhao Yunhong's heart became hot, everything he heard was gone, only the sound of his own heart beating and blood flowing rapidly.

Everything he saw with his eyes was gone, only the figure of the man who seemed to be walking towards him in surprise.

After confirming with his own eyes that this person is safe, Zhao Yunhong breathed a sigh of relief.

But right after, a thought in his mind grew wildly like weeds, he really wanted to plunder this man to the palace, and then they would never be separated again.

Since they are separated, that person may be in danger, why not be protected by him under his wings?

Lu Zha is busy with post-disaster reconstruction. These days he hardly sleeps. When he saw the little emperor for the first time, he thought he was hallucinating. After waiting for a while, the hallucinations did not disappear before he realized that the little emperor really appeared. The Forbidden City is in front of him.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Lu Zha walked quickly to the emperor and saluted, and the emperor had only two eunuchs with him, so Lu Zha knew that the emperor must have left the palace privately.

In the capital, the disappearance of the emperor cannot be concealed. Instead of waiting for the panic among the officials in the capital, it would be better for him to sit here and solidify the image of the little emperor going out of the palace to comfort the victims.

The people on the side had fixed their eyes on Lu Zha as early as when he came over. When they saw Mr. Lu bowing to a young man and calling him "Your Majesty", they felt that the scene in front of them was incredible.

Among them, the migrant workers who talked to the emperor widened their eyes even more, God, how could such a small person like him be so close to the emperor?

This is the emperor?Just like them, with one nose and two eyes, although he is also handsome, he is not as good-looking as Master Lu, and he doesn't have dragon aura on him.

Soon these people put away the disrespectful thoughts in their hearts. The emperor must have dragon aura to protect his body. They couldn't see the dragon aura. It was probably because the emperor put away the dragon aura. Without the dragon aura, they could still Is it the emperor?

How can you sit still on the dragon chair?

Everyone knelt down on the ground, shouting long live, the little emperor smiled reservedly, and called everyone to be flat.

Lu Zha waited until the little emperor yelled, and then stood up. After seeing the little emperor, he habitually called up the favorability panel of the system space, and the value of favorability on it surprised Lu Zha.

I don't know when the value on the panel has changed to 80. Such a high favorability can already be called 'love'.

He has been busy with disaster relief work outside during this time, so, did the little emperor complete the self-strategy by relying on his brain?

Now that the little emperor is here, of course Lu Zha can't stay here any longer. He took the little emperor and his party back to Ningbo Fufu City.

Because the little emperor spent a lot of time on the road, when Lu Zha saw the little emperor, Wang Yang had already retreated.Although the low-lying areas of Ningbo Mansion were also submerged by water, the location of the Ningbo Mansion was relatively higher and remained intact.

Therefore, Lu Zha settled the little emperor in the government office. While the little emperor was bathing and changing clothes, he wrote a memorial to report the whereabouts of the little emperor to the princes, so as not to worry the court.

As everyone knows, the court was indeed in a mess because of the little emperor's departure.

In the beginning, it was the little eunuch who entered the palace to serve the emperor and found out that the emperor was missing. Who would dare to hide such a big thing?So he had no choice but to report this matter to the Empress Dowager Chitose.

The Empress Dowager forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart. It was not the first time for the emperor to leave the palace, so she immediately arranged for people to go to the capital to look for the emperor.

After everything was explained, the queen mother sighed anxiously, "Why can't the emperor let Ai's family worry? Is this what an emperor should do to leave the palace?"

The empress is now restrained, and the affairs in the harem have been controlled by the empress dowager recently, and the empress dowager is really tired.

But at this time, the queen mother was still in a relaxed mood. When the emperor could not be found in the capital, the queen mother really panicked.

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to invite the cabinet ministers over. The cabinet ministers were still wondering why the Empress Dowager was looking for them, but when they found out that the Emperor had actually left the palace, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

"The ministers are ashamed of the late emperor. The late emperor entrusted His Majesty to the ministers, but the ministers refused, but lost His Majesty!" Wang Zhen was the first to plead guilty, and the court ministers knew it well. Since the young emperor could not be found in the capital, Then, it is very likely that the little emperor went to a farther place.

"Your Majesty probably went to the south. There is a lot of water in the south, Your Majesty," Zhang Song gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say "Your Majesty is worried about the victims", so he continued, "Your Majesty may have gone to find Master Lu."

The Empress Dowager kept the name 'Master Lu' in her heart, but it was obviously not the time to worry about it. The Empress Dowager turned her phoenix eyes and said eagerly: "The late emperor handed over the imperial court to all the lords. It can be seen that you have a plan in your heart. , Now, what exactly is the regulation? When will His Majesty be found? Your Majesty is going on tour in disguise, who knows if there are any villains out there?"

The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She was the emperor's son. At this time, as long as she thought that the emperor might be in danger, her heart would be crushed.

Zhang Songdao: "The old minister will send people to look for His Majesty, and bring His Majesty back immediately after finding His Majesty. The imperial court should not announce His Majesty's news."

The other cabinet ministers all nodded and said: "That's the only way to go."

Several cabinet ministers left with heavy steps. They still want to take good care of their bodies and devote themselves to the court for a few more years. But with such an emperor, it may be difficult to maintain their health and live for a few more years.
