In autumn and August, it rained heavily for several days, and the Luoshui River overflowed violently, breaking its embankment and flooding several counties.

After Wang Sheng returned to Luoyang, the evaluation of the officials was completed, so he promulgated the laws of Yongguo in Sizhou.It had been raining continuously for the past few days, so he issued an order to the counties to build dams. He thought that nothing would happen, but seeing the rain getting longer and longer, and it didn't stop for several days, Wang Sheng's heart ached.

He ordered the counties to report the situation of the embankment every day, and the reports from the counties all said that there was no problem.Several places breached at the same time, Wang Sheng was shocked and angry when he heard the report, but the disaster has already been done, the most urgent task is to reduce the damage, plug the gap, and relocate the victims.

"Call Sizhou Sima, and the former general came to see me." Wang Sheng got up and said, "Wait a minute—"

He pulled the oil coat over his body, "Tell them to go directly to Shou'an, I'll wait for them there."

When Yuan Mu and Qin Gong arrived at Shou'an County, Wang Sheng was standing at the height of the river dam, and the Shou'an County Magistrate was talking beside him, gesticulating while talking, looking very anxious.The two stepped forward, and Wang Sheng turned his head as if he had a feeling. He didn't greet them when he saw them, and said straight to the point: "There are many breaches along the Luoshui River, and several counties have been affected. Shou'an is the worst, and the highest point of the river has disappeared Over the house. The most urgent thing at the moment is to repair the gap and raise the embankment. General Qin, I need 3000 soldiers to build fortifications."

At this time, the rain was strong and the wind was fierce, Wang Sheng almost shouted at him, Qin Gong also responded loudly: "Yes!"

Wang Sheng nodded, and said to Yuan Mu: "Yuan Sima, you have been in Luoyang for a long time, and you are familiar with the situation in various counties, so you are in charge of this matter. I have sent someone to report the situation in Luoyang to the king. The water control officer will arrive soon."

Yuan Mu bowed to him and agreed.

Wang Sheng looked at him, and said again: "This matter concerns tens of thousands of people, Yuan Sima—" He paused, and said in a deep voice, "Wanwang puts the overall situation first."

Yuan Mu also looked at him, and replied after a while: "Your official knows."

Wang Sheng sighed and turned to look at the water.I saw the white water meet the sky, the rain fell like a curtain, and the raging waves rolled up and fell straight down.Luoshui gushed out continuously from the breach, and the ocean scattered in all directions, submerging fertile fields, houses, and livestock in an instant.The sounds of wind, rain, water waves, and wailing all rolled up in one place, rushing up from all directions, which made people feel chilling.

"Didn't you already open the sluice to release the water? Why did the embankment break so badly?" Wang Sheng frowned, and glanced at the magistrate. The magistrate's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head.Wang Sheng became suspicious, wiped off the rain on his face, and shouted: "Ask the judge to meet me at the Governor's Mansion!"

Luoshui breached in many places, not only in Shou'an, but also Fuchang, Yanshi, Gong County and other counties were affected. Wang Sheng went to several places in a row, and he saw a vast ocean.The soldiers he assigned to Qin Gong increased from 3000 at the beginning to 1, and finally became 3 again. They rushed to work day and night, and it took three and a half days before they finally repaired the embankment and relieved the raging Luoshui River. Caught between the narrow dams.All the counties opened the sluices one after another to release the flood and divert the flow. Finally, the Luoshui River was temporarily stabilized. The flood slowly receded, leaving only a messy place, covered with yellow mud, and all the houses collapsed. Standing there, the sight is bleak.

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his body immediately collapsed.

In the past three days, he has slept for less than five hours in total. As long as he is awake, he is either dealing with political affairs or visiting various counties to inspect the defense. He is well aware of his body and knows that it will only be a matter of time before the disease continues like this. It's just that if you can delay it for a day, you will drink bowls of medicine every day, and once you return to the governor's mansion, you will burn a hand stove and press it on your stomach. This is really delayed until after the river embankment is repaired, and it is not a waste of business .

This time he was cold, tired, and over-thinking, breaking all the taboos in one breath, and when the old disease broke out, it was as fierce as the flood this time.He couldn't bear the pain, so he had no choice but to call Tai doctor Li to give an injection, and both of them were sweating all over, and finally managed to stop the pain, and finally suppressed the abdominal pain to a tolerable level.

Seeing this, Li Jiu brought porridge and persuaded him, "Prime Minister, use some rice, so that you can take the medicine to rest your stomach."

Like Li Qi, Li Jiu was originally Liu Fu's close guard. Before Wang Sheng came to Sizhou to take up his post, Liu Fu bestowed him on Wang Sheng and ordered him to serve him closely.When Wang Sheng saw him, he could remember that day when Liu Fu saw him off, he held his hand and said to him, "Jing Huan, I won't see you for a year after you leave. Li Jiu This kid is quick to do things, and I can feel at ease with him by your side." Wang Sheng looked at Li Jiu, smiled in a trance, and then he didn't know what to think, and worry appeared in his brows and eyes.He took the bowl, intending to eat more, but after taking a few mouthfuls, his stomach became bloated and painful, which was a blessing for him.

He returned the remaining half of the porridge to Li Jiu, waved his hands to let him go down, and half-lyed on the bed, stroking his stomach up and down to calm his stomach, and at the same time he was still suffering from continuous cramps intermittently. thinking about things.

The Yellow River has been suffering from severe floods since ancient times, and Luoshui River is its tributary, so disasters often occur.But before that, he had never heard of such a severe flood near the capital of Wei State.Is Wei Guo hiding it, or is it just that this year is particularly serious?There are many former ministers of Wei State, so it is not difficult to find out about this matter.

Before that, some people had managed the Luoshui River, divided canals and erected sluice gates to divert and discharge flood water, store flood water, irrigate farmland, and set up several water gates to weaken the water potential.How did it collapse to this point this time?Is the situation of these sluices and water gates really the same as reported by the local officials?He has ordered the judge to go to various counties to investigate, and it is expected that the outcome will be known in a short time.

Yuan Mu, Yuan Mu, hey... Wang Sheng thought of him and sighed in his heart.Yuan Mu was originally an important minister of the Wei State, but once the country was destroyed and became a captive, he became a Sima of a state, ranking fifth rank, which is quite different from before.This person is indeed talented, but he is also self-reliant on his talent, and he always feels dissatisfied about it.Although this person has no great virtue, he has real talent. In all fairness, Wang Sheng might not want to promote him.But whether he can take on the big responsibility still needs time to observe. If he keeps calm, he will naturally have a bright future in the future. I only hope that he will not be impulsive.From the perspective of this flood control alone, he can be regarded as a person who can take on great responsibilities.

And the king...Wang Sheng frowned, and slightly increased his strength.He was so ill that he forced himself to think of something else.He closed his eyes, thinking about it endlessly, and his mind unknowingly returned to Luoshui. The water control officer sent by the king from Chang'an, counting the days, should arrive...

Wang Sheng thought about one by one, and finally couldn't bear the exhaustion, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

On the other side, in Chang'an Palace, a major event also happened in the past few days.

Not long after Wang Sheng returned to Luoyang from Chang'an last time, there was a happy event in the palace.Yang Jieyu and Xiao Jieyu were pregnant at the same time last year. Calculating the date, Yang Jieyu was supposed to give birth first, but Xiao's unknowingly accidentally moved her fetus, and the fetus was born prematurely.

At that time Liu Fu was terribly frightened, and stayed outside for most of the day, listening to the cries of pain, comfort, and the noise of court ladies rushing and overturning copper basins, he was so anxious that he didn't know how many times he turned around outside the door.Finally, he heard a cry and broke out from the closed door. Liu Fu was surprised, slapped his thigh suddenly, opened the door and rushed in.

The first thing he saw was Xiao Shi, this little girl who had always been charming to him, now she was lying on the bed with a pale face, as if she had just suffered a serious illness and was no longer as angry as before.When she saw Liu Fu coming in, she turned her head to look at him. Although her complexion was dull, her eyes were extraordinarily bright, as if she had plucked the stars from the sky, crushed them and sprinkled them inside.Liu Fu was moved, walked forward, sat down on the edge, and held her hand.

Although he couldn't see what was going on inside, he could clearly hear Xiao's painful cries for most of the day through a door. The sound will sound again.Liu Fu didn't understand what was going on at first, but then gradually realized that it was because Xiao Shi had fainted from the pain, and was called out again by others, and then cried out and tried hard.His heart tightened, and at the same time, he had a kind of respect for the Xiao family inside. Even warriors like them, who lick blood on the tip of their swords all day long, would rarely suffer such a serious crime, but they didn't know that such a weak body, How to bear such a long pain.

"My concubine, it's really hard work for you." Liu Fu said softly, as if he was afraid that if he accidentally blew a breath, the woman in front of him would be blown to the sky by him.

"Your Majesty, take a look at our child first." Xiao Shi looked at him with a smile in his eyes, gently broke away from his hand, and pushed him towards Mrs. Wen.

Liu Fu kissed her hand before standing up to see the child that Xiao Shi gave birth to for him.Wen Po handed him the infant baby, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you really are a little prince."

Liu Fu took it carefully, imitating Mrs. Wen, holding the kitten-like child with both hands, and looked at his face.The newborn baby was still wrinkled, with its eyes closed tightly, red and swollen, like two peach pits, but Liu Fu felt that he liked it quite a lot in his heart. He listened to what Wen Po said, and laughed. : "Wrong, this is my eldest prince of Dayong!"

"Oh," Wen Po lightly patted her cheek, feigning fear, and said with a smile, "Look at what this slave said, isn't he the eldest prince! As the prince and the eldest son, the king is blessed with double happiness today." !" Xiao Shi half-lyed on the bed and looked at this side, covering his mouth and smiling.

The three laughed happily, but the baby in Liu Fu's arms was disturbed by his overly hearty laughter. He didn't show his father any face, curled his lips, and immediately burst into tears.I don't know if it's because of the premature birth, but his crying is not as loud as that of an ordinary baby, but like a kitten, gently scratching the person's heart.Liu Fu didn't dare to hug him any more, so he hurriedly returned the son to Granny Wen. Granny Wen coaxed him for a while, and the baby's crying gradually became quieter, but it still didn't stop.Liu Fu stood aside and watched, half joy and half pity in his heart.

He also had two sons in his previous life, but he left before he could watch them grow up, leaving them with a fragmented empire, a group of enemies who were staring at each other, and the fear of dying at an unknown time. Even the throne was passed on to his younger brother Liu Jing.Their mother has changed in this life, so he and these two children naturally have no father-son relationship. Liu Fu thought about the sons who had not had time to love him in the previous life, and looked at the frail baby in front of him, and couldn't help but move his eyes. All the love of a father was poured into this child.Seeing that the child was still crying, he couldn't help stretching out a finger to tease him, regardless of whether he could understand or not, he said fiercely: "My son has to cry for a while, all the sons of my Liu family are born with If you are strong, it won't work if you cry too short." The child stretched out his hand to hold Liu Fu's finger, and after a while, he really stopped crying.Seeing his fingers wrapped in such a soft little hand, Liu Fu couldn't help but feel infinite tenderness in his heart. He didn't dare to move for a while, but let the soft and boneless little palm gently stick to his on the finger.

Wen Po smiled and said: "Or it's a father-son bond. The eldest prince and the king are really close. They have been so attached to the king since birth, and they will be a filial child in the future."

Liu Fu was very happy when he heard the words, and casually said: "It is also a blessing for the country that the eldest son is like this."

However, he didn't notice. Hearing this, someone's eyes flickered.
