Chapter 28 Water floods Luoyang
"It turns out it's Master Di, I'm lucky to know you." Chen Yuangong bowed and looked Di Renjie up and down, which seemed to be different from what I remember.
The body is weak and fat, and the complexion is moist and white, which is obviously a sign of insufficient kidney water and an increase in heart fire.
"Changshi Chen looked at me like this, could he see something?" Di Renjie asked with a smile.
"I wonder if my elders have frequent urination at night, insomnia and dreams, and night sweats at night?"
Di Renjie stopped smiling and glanced around.
"Come on, let's talk further."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Di Renjie left with the secret medicine and looked at his back and smiled slightly.
As the prime minister of the cabinet, Di Renjie still has some useful things in the future. Giving him a bottle of Liuwei Dihuang Pills to nourish the kidney is not a loss.
When the old man tastes the sweetness, he will know the benefits of the medicine.
Although the official did not resign, he was at least one day off. During this free time, Chen Yuan went to Yashang to rent a house with a yard.
Stay for a few months first, and then return to Qingyuan County after the emperor approved his resignation.
At noon on that day, Chen Yuan was reading "The Works of Heaven" in the house to find out some knowledge about water conservancy.
Suddenly, a thunder sounded out of thin air, and then a heavy rain poured down the sky.
Raindrops as big as beans hit the clay boards, making crackling sounds, and soon the water from the yard was poured into the house.
"Sir, why don't you go to the yamen to hide? The rain is too heavy and it's not enough to reach your ankles!" Captain Hu wiped the rain and said loudly.
"Okay, let's go together with a little peach blossom!"
Seeing that the house was about to flood, Chen Yuan carried a bunch of money and a group of three rushed to the county government. Wherever he passed, all the houses in Poor Alley were soaked in water.
Many people cried and drained water out, but compared with the heavy rainstorm, it was like a drop in the bucket.
Because the rented house was close, the three of them came to the government office within a short while, and the sound of rain behind the door stopped abruptly.
"Shi Chen Changshi, Bei Zhi is about to pick you up, but you didn't expect you to come!" Seeing Chen Yuan and his group coming to the government office, Liu Changfeng smiled and handed over the official uniform.
Changing into his clothes, Chen Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief and glanced across the lobby: "I didn't expect that all the brothers are here."
"I've met Changshi Chen."
The yamen runners bowed perfunctorily.
Chen Yuan didn't care, and continued to look at the lobby: "Changfeng, how many people can the government office accommodate?"
"Sir, six or seven hundred people are no problem."
"That's good. I'll go to Poor Alley with my official and take all the people who are flooded at home to the government office."
What?
The yamen runners stood up one after another and looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief: Sir, it’s so heavy rain, do you want us to go outside to save people?
Too dangerous!
Chen Yuan's face darkened and he said coldly: As the chief of Luozhou, I will naturally rush to the front. You just need to bring the people here.
"I want to take it, but we have some old people at home, so we don't have to worry about a job."
The person who spoke was Zhou Kaiyuan, the headmaster of the government office. He had long disliked Chen Yuan. He was silent and had to do something.
For a bunch of mud legs, is that the reason?
"Okay! I won't force you. Those who are willing to go will come with me. Those who are unwilling to go will take off their official uniforms and leave!"
After the words came, Chen Yuan turned around and drilled into the heavy rain. The rain was too heavy and the people must be moved to a safe place before the flood floods.
Liu Changfeng, Xiao Taohong and Captain Hu followed him without hesitation, and the remaining yamen runners sat back to their seats.
At first, they still had a disdainful attitude, thinking that Chen Yuan was just a new official who took office and was just a show of his behavior.
But as the people affected were carried back one by one, the yamen runners could no longer sit still.
"Brother Zhou, why don't we go out too. If something happens to Chen Changshi, everyone will not be able to afford to be guilty."
Zhou Kaiyuan curled his lips, "If you want to go, I won't go. At the end, he will be scolded. He can really drive us away."
The yamen runners stopped talking, but just looked at Chen Yuan's figure, with a hint of shame.
I don’t know how long it took, but the yamen runners couldn’t sit still.
As officials, Chen Changshi saved people in the flood, so they could not sit in the yamen with peace of mind.
"If you don't go, I'll go!" An official stood up and walked outside.
"I'll go too!"
"I'll go too!"
In the huge government office, Zhou Kaiyuan was the only one left. He glared at the victims with an ugly face and rushed into the rain.
...........
Shangyang Palace, main hall.
At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely solemn, with hundreds of officials on both sides, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
The heavy rain has been falling for five consecutive hours, and the huge gods are like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, and there is a possibility of being flooded at any time.
Wu Zetian paced back and forth in the hall, and stopped from time to time to look outside, where thousands of guards were busy draining water.
Even if this is the case in the imperial palace, it shows how tragic it should be in the Shendu City.
At this time, an official, covered in wetness, ran and crawled into the hall.
"Your Majesty, the flood is too big, all the guards heading to the outer city are blocked!"
What! They are all blocked?
Wu Zetian's eyes turned black and he sat on the dragon chaise, pressing his palm tightly on the armrest.
The flood in the city is so big, if the people cannot be transferred, wouldn't it be...
Wu Zetian dared not think about it anymore.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Di Renjie, "Which guards are left in the city now?"
Di Renjie sighed softly: Your Majesty: After the heavy rain, all the guards of the north and south yamen retreated to the palace.
At present, only the Luozhou government is still in it.
Wu Zetian's eyes lit up and he sat up straight: "Hurry and send someone to tell the Luozhou government that they must rescue all the people!"
Unexpectedly, Di Renjie's words made her heart sink.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Luozhou is recuperating at home. Although the Chief Chen Yuan stays in the city, he is on holiday."
"It is unlikely that a few yamen runners will rescue the affected people."
Wu Zetian staggered to the entrance of the hall, waved his sleeves, trying to brush away the heavy rain in front of him, but it caused a more violent blow to the heavy rain.
"How could this happen? What did I do wrong? Why did God punish the people of the Great Zhou like this!"
Wu Zetian held the door frame and his eyes were red.
Di Renjie reached out to take a handful of rain and sighed: Your Majesty, the heavy rain has already slowed down.
I guess it won't take long to stop. You are mentally prepared...
"I understand."
Wu Zetian took a deep breath and spoke.
"I wrote an order, and the rainstorm fell on me, and the crime was on my body. To express my condolences, I immediately stopped eating for three days to report to the heavenly spirit of all people in Luoyang."
"I will obey the order!" The ministers bowed and fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
