Placid Chang'an

In the first ten days of April, the little emperor heard the "touching" story between Song Fan and Huang Wan'er. He was moved to tears, and immediately approved the marriage between the Ding'an Hou Mansion and the Huang family. Once.

It's just that the two families involved in this unprecedented event did not live in peace.

Huang Shilang complained endlessly, thinking how could he send his daughter back after being rescued from the wolf's den, before she could say a lot of twists and turns, Lord Song Hou had already taken the lead, and filed a lawsuit against the Queen Mother of Chu. Sue the Huang family's daughter for being unmarried and pregnant, so she can't enter their Song family's door!

By the way, the Empress Dowager Chu's natal father still had a good relationship with Song Hou Ye, so he agreed without saying a word, and went to ask how the little emperor could be so childish, how could the Song family give a marriage to such a lowly person after the general family? people.

The little emperor looked at his mother innocently, "But Huang Wan'er's child belongs to Song Fan. If he doesn't marry Song Fan, who will he marry?"

Only then did the Empress Dowager Chu realize that she was being used by others. Song Yi, an old bastard, only said that Huang Wan'er was pregnant, but never mentioned the origin of the child. She made such a foolish thing today, but it seemed that she was unreasonable and was taken advantage of by others. Read the joke.

Immediately stop caring about this matter, and she will hide when Song Yi comes again, if it is going to rain, Niang wants to get married, whoever wants to take care of it.

Huang Ting was also furious when he heard that, he hasn't held Song Fan accountable here yet, but the Song family is the villain who complained first and then bit him, and then he didn't do anything and kept going. Anyway, his Huang family has a clear conscience and agreed to the marriage If it is down, whoever's children will support themselves!

The little emperor was robbed of the lantern by Song Fan that day, and he couldn't express his anger. He took this opportunity to be extremely positive about the marriage, and urged the Ministry of Rites every day. Five is a good day, suitable for a big wedding.

All of a sudden, the streets and alleys and Goulan Washe were all talking about this marriage, and several versions were derived. The serious ones are about the first meeting in Wanqing, the love in the thatched cottage, and the final marriage, and the unserious ones. , Private Meeting on a Moonlit Night, Dry Chai|Fire was out of control, and the Xianxia Zhiguai version also said that Huang Wan'er was the reincarnation of a fox fairy only to repay Song Fan's previous life's kindness and move God, so she asked the Emperor Meng to bestow her marriage.

In short, there are all kinds of weird claims.

The matter has come to this point, no matter how reluctant Song Yi is, he can only admit it.

It's a pity that Song Fan didn't recognize it.

That night, Ding'an Hou's mansion was smashed into a mess, Song Fan pointed at Song Yi and yelled, "Are you crazy, you want me to marry her?!"

Song Yi drank tea calmly: "You can't control your lower body, and you cut the grass but don't get rid of the roots. Who is to blame now?"

Song Fan lowered his voice: "Don't forget who I am!"

"I haven't blamed you for bringing up such an evil breed to ruin the reputation of my Song family!" Song Yi put his teacup on the table heavily, and said heavily in a low voice: "I only promised to the one who kept you alive, and the rest I promised." in spite of."

Song Fan sneered: "If you want to let that person know that you have found such a good marriage for me, what do you think he will think?"

"You asked for it yourself," Song Yi snorted coldly, "Besides, I don't owe you anything."

"You don't owe us?" Song Fan walked forward, smiling with a pair of peach blossom eyes, bewitching people's hearts, "Father, have you forgotten Lu Xiaoliu back then? Have you forgotten the 280 seven lives?"

"You!" Song Yi stood up abruptly, the chair made a sharp stabbing sound on the floor, pointed at Song Fan's smiling face with one hand and trembled a few times, and finally had no choice but to walk away, "I can't control this matter anyway, you Let's see!"

Song Fanzhen did as he wanted, and the day before the big wedding, he severed his father-son relationship with Song Yi and left.

Anyway, the little emperor bestowed the marriage on the young lord of Ding'an Houfu, whoever wants to be this lord can marry him.

There was an uproar in the capital.

The little emperor didn't believe it at first, so he sent Dali Shaoqing Su Cen to Ding'an Hou's mansion to investigate in person, and confirmed that Song Fanzhen had really left. Then he comforted Song Yi with a sad face, and at the same time issued a sea arrest document , and vowed to bring Song Fan back into this marriage.

All of a sudden, there was a wave of looking for Song Fan all over the country. Some were looking for fun, some wanted to get a reward, and some were the enemies that Song Fan had offended. Anyway, now Song Fan has nothing to do with Ding'anhoufu. It doesn't matter, there is no need to take revenge for those who are wronged, and revenge for those who have revenge.

In the blink of an eye, it was June, and Huang Wan'er gave birth to a little son, with thin lips and peach blossom eyes, who looked like Song Fan's seed.Although Song Fan hasn't been found yet, the little emperor said that he doesn't need to care about these etiquettes. This child is the eldest son of Ding'an Houfu.

The Huang family was overwhelmed by the flattery. This not only preserved Huang Wan'er's reputation, but also allowed the child to have an identity. He thanked the emperor for his favor and made the child recognize Su Cen as his godfather.Su Cen did his best in this matter in secret, the Huang family is not stupid, Su Cen is now popular in the imperial court, and it will do them no harm to gain this relationship.Furthermore, if this child can really become a prince in the future, he might be able to help Su Cen instead.

Su Cen couldn't refuse, but for no reason, he had a new godson.

At the end of June, the hot weather was still there, and it rained a few times in a row to relieve some of the heat.Su Cen ate the red bean cold cake on a plate in the Huxin Pavilion, listening to the rain beating the lotus leaves outside the pavilion, the fragrance of the lotus was bursting, which was quite interesting.

Dali Temple hasn't had any major cases recently, so it's rare to be free. Su Cen went to Xingqing Palace to escape the summer heat. This pavilion in the middle of the lake is a resort, surrounded by water, and covered with flowers and willows. How easy it is.

When he was full and wanted to take a nap, he saw Qi Lin hurrying to Li Shi's study with the booklet, and he was especially conspicuous with the yellow seal that was expedited for six hundred miles.

It's only been half a day, and it's already the third trip.

Su Cen thought to himself, is this a border invasion, or is it a rebellion against the party?Yao thought about it for a while, and it seems that nothing major has happened in the court recently. Why are you in such a hurry?Immediately, I lost all sleepiness, and followed the past to find out.

It hadn't rained when he came, and he didn't bring an umbrella with him. There was no one around him at the moment, so he picked a lotus leaf and put it on his head, and ran out in the rain.

Although the rain was not heavy, it was still far away. When he ran to the study, his clothes were still drenched. Su Cen didn't care. A bit of rain in summer was no big deal, so he walked in after shaking his body from the rain.

Li Shi was reading the excerpt, frowning slightly, Qi Lin waited at the side, and when Li Shi finished reading, he lowered his head and asked, "Master, what should I do?"

When Li Shi looked up, he saw Su Cen who was like a drowned rat.In summer, the clothes are thin, and the gauze-like clothes are stuck to the body by a dozen rainwater, and the body inside can be seen at a glance, adding a bit of the charm of smoke, cold water, moon and sand.Li Shi stopped when he reached the edge of his mouth, his complexion sank, and he said to Qi Lin, "Close your eyes and get out."

Qi Lin didn't realize what happened, but his words were orders, so he closed his eyes and strode away.

"Did something happen?" Su Cen was anxious to care about the note, but he didn't care about Li Shi's abnormality at all.

Seeing that Li Shifang put down the booklet and walked over step by step, his expression was indeed a little ugly, Su Cen took a breath in his heart, and only heard Li Shi say: "Something has happened."

Li Shi took off his coat and wrapped his head around him, and asked in a deep voice, "Who has seen it?"

Su Cen was stunned for a while before he understood what Li Shi was talking about. He couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and hurriedly said, "No one saw it. If someone really saw it, wouldn't I be able to get an umbrella?"

Only then did Li Shi's expression soften, he wiped off the water from his face, hooked up the clothes that were tightly attached to his body, and said with a frown, "You are not allowed to wear smoked veils from now on."

The smoked gauze fabric is the lightest and lightest. It is cool to wear in summer, but it is a bit clearer.Su Cen felt it was funny, so she had no choice but to agree now, "Okay, I will only wear brocade from now on, and you will be happy if you cover your whole body with prickly heat."

Li Shi was finally amused by someone, and tapped Su Cen on the forehead, "Go change your clothes and come see me again."

Su Cen obediently went back to the dormitory and changed her clothes. After tidying up, she made sure that there was nothing missing before looking for it again.Li Shi seemed to have settled the matter, and when Su Cen came in, Qi Lin was ordered to leave.

Su Cen frowned, wondering if it was Li Shi's instruction, Qi Lin always came to report to Li Shi when he was not around.

Su Cen stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Li Shi nodded the corner of the table, and a bowl of ginger soup was ready.

Resigned to his fate, Su Cen picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, sweating all over, only then did he see Li Shi open his hand to him, "Come on."

Su Cen stepped forward and sat on the man's lap familiarly, only to see Li Shi pressed his brows and sighed, "It's raining heavily in Xuzhou, I'm afraid it won't last."

Su Cen was startled: "The rain hasn't stopped in Xuzhou?!"

Half a month ago when he attended the court meeting, he heard that Xuzhou was raining continuously, but now half a month has passed, and it is still raining!Xuzhou City is surrounded by water on three sides, and it is also the place where Sishui and Bian Rivers meet.Once the flood breaks the embankment, tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou City will be displaced. This is not counting the submerged tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and livestock houses.

"Then these three notebooks are all..."

"Three days ago, Cao Village in Chanzhou broke through, Guanjun County 45, the river moved southward, and turned into two strands, one merged into the Beiqing River and entered the sea, and the other—" Li Shi pursed his lips, "Merges into the Nanqing River, Enter Huai."

Su Cen's heart skipped a beat, "The Xuzhou embankment is already unsustainable, and with this, that, that..."

Li Shi nodded, "Today's three reports were all sent by the Xuzhou governor. The water level is rising day by day, and people in the city are panicking. They request to call the imperial army to fight the flood."

Su Cen felt sorry for the fact that the Forbidden Army was not assigned by the governor, but only obeyed the imperial court's orders. It seemed that there was really nothing they could do.And what's the use of the embargo army? Anyone with a heart knows that flood fighting is fake and suppression is real. If there is a riot at this time, it will be even more out of control.

"Is this really the case?"

"It's ready."

Su Cen nodded. Before the natural disaster, human life was at stake, and this was the only way.

Li Shidao: "The imperial court is only afraid that they will send someone down to appease the hearts of the people. At this time, there must be no such thing as people's hearts being unstable."

Su Cen looked up: "Who are you sending?"

Li Shi asked back, "Who do you think is suitable?"

Su Cen frowned and thought for a while, "This kind of job, the official position is too small to live in a small town, and it's a hard job to work around. It doesn't work when you're old. It's better to leave there without doing anything. You have to gain insight into the hearts of the people, and know the works by seeing the small things." Finally, he smiled: "I think, I am quite suitable."

"You can't do it," Li Shi interrupted, and directly suppressed his thoughts, "You stay in Chang'an City, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Su Cen straightened her body: "Manchao civil and military, I am the most suitable for the fourth rank and above, you can't play favoritism because of public affairs!"

Li Shi smiled and pinched the back of the man's neck, "I already have someone to choose."

On the second day, Prince Ning Yiluan got up and went to Xuzhou to appease the people.

Su Cen's teeth itched in anger. This person didn't discuss with him yesterday the candidate for the imperial envoy, but he had already decided on it. He greeted him in advance and asked him to stay in the capital obediently and not act rashly.

Su Cen was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days, but he also paid close attention to the news from Xuzhou.

At the same time, Su Cen is not the only one who pays attention to Xuzhou. Once Prince Ning leaves, this is a major event in the court. All forces take turns to move, each with their own calculations.

In the early morning, when the matter of Xuzhou was mentioned again, the people in the court were panicked and argued endlessly, and the little emperor also had a drooping face, not knowing what to do.

Liu Yu's face darkened, "The lord is too foolish, there is no one in the court." He glanced at Su Cen intently, and said: "If something goes wrong, who will take care of it?"

Huang Ting, the servant of the household department, wiped off his cold sweat, and replied with cupped hands, "There shouldn't be any problems, right? Last year, the household department just allocated 50 taels of river repair funds to Xuzhou, and the newly built dams are enough to last a hundred years. "

Su Cen silently breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xuzhou City is fine, Li Shi should not be in any risk.

That night, Xuzhou rushed eight hundred miles, the flood burst and the dam collapsed.
