After becoming the king of the subjugated country

Ji Chen suddenly remembered the plot in the novel. There are eight protagonists, but there is usually only one central character in the novel, so what happened to Bai Qi in the end?What happened to them?

Could it be... Only one survived?Or, all of them passed away, and the protagonist changed?

Thinking about some protagonists who only appeared in the middle stage, Ji Chen felt that this kind of situation seemed possible.

After a pause in his thoughts, Ji Chen unconsciously moved the sachet hanging on his waist with his fingers, and twirled the incense pills made by Bai Qi inside. Then he calmed down and said seriously: "I'll wait for you, you must come back safely."

Bai Qi also agreed and made an agreement with him: "Of course, Your Majesty still has an appointment with me, and I will never miss it."

They have never been to Tantao Mountain.

The rest of the courtiers looked at each other carefully. At first they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, but they didn't expect that there would be a sudden natural disaster. Later, they admired Bai Qi's courage and expressed his feelings for His Majesty.

The official who could read his eyes lowered the memorial hidden in his sleeve, and looked at Bai Qi unconsciously, revealing a somewhat complicated look. He was delighted at what he had done, but at the same time had a headache about the two or three matters between him and His Majesty.Those who couldn't understand the color and wanted to talk were also pulled to the back row, and they were not allowed to hinder His Majesty at this time.

In the face of major family and country affairs, personal feelings must be put in the back row, and the rest of the confrontation must also be suspended.

The young general of the Huangmen was called to the front again, and Ning Wenzheng took the initiative to go out and asked him one by one about the river channel information in his area, including the construction history of the river channel dams over the years, the current population situation of He'an County, the number of remaining craftsmen, etc. .

People of insight put forward suggestions one by one, and Ning Yuan finally showed his ability as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and quickly came up with a basic plan, mobilizing the six ministries to jointly discuss measures.

Ji Chen also wrote the imperial decree and stamped it with a jade seal as quickly as possible, handed it over to Bai Qi, and ordered a team of troops for him to protect his safety and help him handle affairs there.

In a hurry, Eunuch Xin received the news in the morning, quickly packed a package and a box, packed Bai Qi's luggage, and prepared simple medicines.

Ji Chen and Bai Qi walked on the palace road, "Come back early."

Bai Qi said, "Okay."

Ji Chen continued: "Some people should be killed as soon as they are needed. Don't worry too much. I will help you deal with the follow-up."

Bai Qi also agreed.

A leaf fluttered down and landed on Bai Qi's shoulder. Ji Chen picked it off for him, "Remember to write to me."

Bai Qi hugged Ji Chen suddenly, with little smiles in his eyes, "I remember it, I will write you a letter every three days, I will remember to eat well, and I know you are standing behind me, Whatever I do outside, when I come back, we will review the book together."

Well, some books that he studied several times.

This is because you think he is long-winded, right?Ji Chen squeezed his face angrily, and hugged him back forcefully.

When they parted, they didn't say any unlucky words, but they just looked forward to the next time they meet, hoping that the peach blossoms will be in full bloom and their faces will remain the same as before.

The fastest team to go to He'an County was led by Bai Qi, mainly an elite soldier plus Bai Qi and Tang Qian.

The second team is also in preparation. Ji Chen urgently selects candidates. This team is mainly composed of engineering craftsmen. Whether it is the temporary construction of the river or the control of the embankment, it needs to be extra careful.

Although He'an County is close to a big river and is prone to floods, He'an County also has abundant rainfall and fertile land. It is considered a large grain producer, and the three nearby counties are not far from He'an. There are a lot of them, and there is even a flat river after three counties. Once this line of defense is broken, the ten or so counties behind will have no shelter at all, and they can only let the floods rage.

However, the previous emperors of the Yue Kingdom were really not wise. Although the treasury had not much money, it was not particularly small, but basically no money was allocated to local water conservancy, and it all depended on the local governors and counties. The officer figured out a way for himself.But what can they do?With limited capacity and the need for too many people to build water conservancy, even if you want to, you can't do it.

For this kind of thing, Ji Chen always has to choose someone who is serious enough, so he is still looking at the list carefully, but a new round of memorials has already been delivered. A small pile of memorials, "Your Majesty, these are more important."

Ji Chen's expression was rarely serious, "Let it go first, and settle the matter in He'an County first."

Ning Yuan showed a smile, and first picked up the previous memorial, "This is a petition from the Ministry of Industry. They all hope to go to He'an to stabilize the situation. There are their own signatures on the back. They are also worried about the expansion of this flood. , thinking about cleaning up the area around He'an, and the rest of the places can also be protected, His Majesty can send them to various places."

Immediately afterwards, Ning Yuan took out three more memorials, "These are the three types of crude treatment methods that I discussed with several adults from the Ministry of Industry, but the critical moment should be adjusted according to local conditions and according to the situation."

"As for the rest, including the inventory of materials, the female officer just happened to make the materials for the canal last time, and they still have a list over there. Now they simply took over this task, and sorted out some in the fastest time. There are also many female officers. I would also like to go there."

"these are……"

All kinds of things are the efforts of everyone.

Ji Chen first opened the petition, looked at their names one by one, and quickly made a decision based on his impressions. He didn't forget to ask casually, "Who is in charge of the people at the Ministry of Industry?"

Ning Yuan's expression changed, and he said sternly: "Your Majesty, I beg for my daughter's order."

The first row and first column of the petition happened to be Ning Wenzheng's name.

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Isn't she going to build a canal?" Didn't this person never want Ning Wenzheng to take risks before?

Ning Yuan was very ashamed, "The canal has already gone through the most difficult project, and she can be replaced, and she is quite experienced in this area. She also followed me to repair water conservancy when she was young. Now she has ambition and courage. , as a father, I can't stop her again and again."

After hearing him finish speaking, Ji Chen finally smiled heartily, and wrote a flamboyant [quasi] at the end.

As for Ning Wenzheng's name, he had circled it and marked it with important symbols as early as the beginning.

On the third day after the news of the flood in Ho'an County, the second engineering team left Kyoto in the early morning.

On the fourth day, the horse-drawn carts carrying the grain and clothes that had been made out of the rush also rushed to He'an County. Before that, the news of dispatching food from the surrounding areas and building temporary residences for the victims had been conveyed to the counties around He'an County, and nearby villages They were also notified by them to temporarily leave their homes and go to other places to take shelter for a while.

On the fifth day, Ji Pei and Bi Xuan went to two places, respectively to the upper and lower reaches of the river in He'an County. Ji Pei went to dredge the dams on the lower reaches, and Bi Xuan went to carry out agency adjustments. Moreover, they also secretly carried some bombs for preparations. It's time for emergency treatment.

On the sixth day, You Han took the people from the Tai Hospital to prepare some medicinal materials from the Tai Hospital by category, and prepared simple medicine packages separately. The group went to the temporary living area of ​​the flood victims in a light car.

Water and fire are ruthless, and people always have to fight against various disasters.

But just because there are people, so there is hope, and the future is also there.

The spring thunder exploded on the head. I don’t know if it was affected by the flood in He’an County. This year, even Kyoto has received a lot of rain. The officials in charge of investigating the harvest in the suburbs have submitted memorials for days, saying that the spring seeds have been affected. .

Qin Sheng wrote down a series of precautions with a blank face, drank a sip of strong tea to suppress his sleepiness, and then went to touch the next memorial, which unexpectedly came to nothing.

Only then did Qin Sheng turn his head to look over, and saw that the stack of memorials had been moved to a position farther away from his hand.

"Go back and rest, I'll approve the rest," Ji Chen rarely felt guilty, "I haven't closed my eyes for two days, if you keep going on like this, your body won't be able to handle it."

Qin Sheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I can't sleep."

He was worried about everything in He'an County. Only by sitting here and receiving the latest news could he barely suppress his anxiety, but seeing the bad news in the memorial, the water level in He'an County was still rising, and he was even more sleepy. No more.

"If it doesn't work, we can only follow the previous plan and designate the low-lying Weifu County near He'an County as a flood discharge area, pour all the flood water there, and abandon all the fertile land and houses there." Ji Chen said calmly: " One Weifu County should not be enough, so Bi Xuan went to the lower reaches of the mountain to blow up the mountain, and decided to open up that area to facilitate flood discharge."

Qin Sheng scratched his hair, and he started to lose a lot of his hair, which had regained his hair volume. Seeing that the hairline began to move up again, his voice became difficult, "Weifu County has nearly 25 people. population, and the surrounding 26 villages, all of these must be given up?"

Ji Chen said: "Save the person first, everything is easy to talk about, and rebuilding in the future is also possible."

The two were silent for a while. Qin Sheng was originally proud of his youth and promise, but in the face of the current situation, he felt extremely difficult every time he made a stroke. He was no longer excited about his past achievements, he was only for countless people The crying is uncomfortable.

Every action may affect the lives of countless people.

"What's more, we did everything we could," Ji Chen said, "With so many of us around, God should give us a favor once."

This is the first time Ji Chen used 'we' instead of 'you' when describing the situation.

Qin Sheng was persuaded by Ji Chen, he took a deep breath, "Okay, I'll go to rest."

After Qin Sheng left, Ji Chen opened the letter that Bai Qi sent him, and read it again.

Letters were sent once every three days, very regularly. Pigeons acted as messengers between the two, flying back and forth once every three days, conveying private messages between the two.

Bai Qi didn't talk much, and the content wasn't too long. The content nine days ago was that he met a bunch of begonias that bloomed extremely beautifully. Unfortunately, Ji Chen couldn't appreciate it, so he drew it and shared it with him.

There were also three crabapple petals sealed in the letter, Ji Chen carefully put them away and hid them in his frequent reading notebook.

The letter six days ago was that he found a willow tree with a crooked neck when he was inspecting outside. Unfortunately, most of the branches and leaves were hanging in the water, and the tree was soaked in water every day, as if it could not survive.He also remembered that in the cold palace at that time, there was a willow tree near Ji Chen's palace. He didn't know what was going on now, but he didn't forget to remind Ji Chen to add clothes at the end. The weather has been a bit cold recently.

On the day he received the letter, Ji Chen had long forgotten whether there were willow trees near the Lenggong. He simply took the time to go back to the Lenggong and walked around in person. Only then did he find one in a corner, so he went to get the bucket in person. The watering actually made Eunuch Xin jump. Seeing Eunuch Xin looking at him with a frightened face, Ji Chen had no choice but to let the bucket out again and let him arrange for someone to do it.

The letter three days ago was that Bai Qi gave his own horse out to ask someone to transport things. He always wanted to ride a donkey when he went out on weekdays, but unfortunately this donkey was too stupid to be able to pump it, so he hung it with a carrot. In front of him, the donkey ran over and gnawed the carrot, and then lay down again.The village head who offered the donkey was quite embarrassed, and said that he offered him a plate of donkey meat on fire, and the donkey was so angry that he offered the head of the donkey to the village head.

Ji Chen laughed while watching, quietly asked someone to prepare two good horses, asked the steward of the racecourse to feed them well, and when Bai Qi came back, he planned to take him to the racecourse for a round of play.

Bai Qi will probably send another letter back today. Ji Chen opened the window and waited for the pigeon to fly in with the letter. Approve the revision.

It wasn't until the lights were turned on in the room, and Ji Chen pressed his slightly stiff neck, that he noticed the sky outside.

Night came, the sky turned black, and the dove hadn't come back yet.

According to common sense, it should have arrived by this time.

Seeing Ji Chen looking outside, Eunuch Xin understood in an instant, and comforted him cautiously, "Your Majesty, maybe the pigeons are a little late because they are tired from flying outside, and that's why they are late. Maybe it will arrive tomorrow."

"Well, I know, you can arrange someone to guard here." Ji Chen was still calm, "It will be the same if you show me the memorial of He'an County tomorrow."

The memorials in He'an County were delivered once a day. After all, the post station was not as fast as the pigeons, but the horses galloped all the way, and it happened to be delivered in two and a half days.Now that He'an County encountered such important news, the people at the post station delivered letters very quickly, and it was almost time for a letter to arrive.

On the second day, the memorial in He'an County also stopped.

Qin Sheng's face was ugly, and he pressed his temples that were hopping, "The post station said they didn't receive the news, so it must not be lost on the way."

It was the message that was interrupted.

This is the worst case.

The two sides could not communicate normally, and all responses became unknown.

Qin Sheng began to look through the previous memorials again, looking for the key points that he had missed, and then sent people to inquire over there, waiting for the latest news, and his whole personality was extremely irritable.

Ji Chen issued various orders in an orderly manner and adjusted the plan. There was no expression on his face, and the courtiers could not see whether Ji Chen was sad or not. He could only be more careful when responding, lest any sentence was wrong, It offended the emperor.

Only at that night, after being busy, Ji Chen looked outside at the starry sky, and after confirming again that the pigeon had not flown back, he asked Eunuch Xin, "Is it Qingming today?"

Eunuch Xin froze for a moment, then nodded.

Ji Chen said: "Prepare a carriage and prepare some things. I'm going to the White Mansion."

Today, he should also go to worship the ancestors of the Bai family.

He has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he respects them more than he believes in them, but now, if these people know about it, I hope they can bless Bai Qi's safe return and keep He'an County safe and sound.

The author has something to say:

It's late, I thought I could finish writing before zero o'clock, I overestimated myself
