Chapter 207: When the Disaster Prevention Comes Out of the Mouth and Comes Back

Chengdi's good mood didn't last long. ++

With the passage of time, the continuous heavy rains in the south caused widespread floods. Even though preparations were made, many problems still broke out - the dykes burst, and there were several other places that were repaired and allocated only last year. Millions of taels of silver were lost in this way; the warehouse was opened to release grain, but the grain warehouse was empty, and the grain in the bag was actually sand and straw. Just taking this opportunity to enrich their own pockets, more officials and businessmen colluded to drive up prices. The disaster did not cause the people's families to be destroyed. It was because of them that they separated countless families from their wives. Selling children and daughters is still light. what!

Emperor Cheng was furious.

It was decreed that a large number of people's black yarns were picked and all of them were escorted back to Beijing. For officials who had fled, a hunting order was issued. Once caught, they would be killed on the spot, and not one of their family members would be left behind. They will send people to take care of them together, and they will be dealt with after this matter. Obviously, the best outcome for these people is probably exile.

And those who have that thought, but haven't taken actual action yet, seeing Chengdi's thunderous methods, they have to die, for fear that their lives will not be guaranteed, and they will also affect the whole family.

The only thing that is gratifying is that there are probably no problems with the most important dams. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable. However, the decree was issued before, and the responsibility was placed on people. After all, the number of people was smaller, the workload was heavy, and the upward movement may not be effective. In a short period of time, the role it played was still limited.

At this time, Emperor Cheng received the document presented by Prince Kang of the capital. During the period of thinking behind closed doors, he had deeply realized his mistake. The flood in the south had caused countless people to be displaced, and he was very sad. He also thought of his father and emperor. It is difficult to sleep and eat for this matter. Since I can’t be filial to my father, I would like to be sent by my father to go to the south to relieve disasters, solve problems for my father, and reassure the people.

After a while of silence, Emperor Cheng wrote a word on the book: Accurate.

Because these documents were sent directly to Emperor Cheng, and Prince Kang seemed to be covering up when he presented the documents. When Prince Rui and others knew about the matter, the coffin had already been concluded.

Prince Rui and Prince Gong are actually planning this, but at present, the situation is serious, and they are both a little timid. You must know that the current situation can easily lead to riots. It makes sense, maybe even a small life can get in, and they all say that "the body of a thousand gold is not in danger", but the one who is considered not to be a threat will take the lead. Didn't he suspend all errands and leave the government for half a step if he was summoned? You also arranged such an important errand. Father, you really don't like us, right?

However, this time also taught them a profound lesson - don't hesitate when you have a chance; a person who is threatened, even if he shrinks temporarily, must not take it lightly, otherwise, if you are not careful, he may turn over.

The matter has come to this point, and they are powerless to undo it. However, the matter is just as they were worried. If Li Hongyi happens to die when he encounters the mob, then... this matter is not without the possibility of operation.

Li Hongyuan watched from the sidelines. There was a slight problem with his estimation of this flood. Although the people he arranged were guarding important positions, they still underestimated the ability of the following people to act in favor of yin and yin. Therefore, the ultimate disaster is already in In addition to his budget, even if it was much better than in the previous life, he was still dissatisfied, so this time was all low pressure. However, except for a few people, no one knew what was going on to provoke this living hell king. Not happy anymore.

Others who were also unhappy didn't dare to pull their faces down in front of him, and they couldn't show their unhappiness, let alone aggrieved.

For their private fight, Li Hongyuan can guess without checking. In fact, they want to kill Li Hongyi. To a certain extent, Li Hongyuan has no opinion. The lives of those brothers have nothing to do with him. Come on, it's actually not worth much, but Li Hongyi is really dead, and the balance on the bright side is broken. Don't think that there is still a fourth child to contend with, just Li Hongming's method, without a powerful elder brother above. Pressed, he can simply clean up the other slightly threatening brothers to establish his status as the absolute heir.

However, it is simple to say, Li Hongyi is not so easy to kill, not to mention that there is a queen there to advise him, and Emperor Cheng will also escort him. At the age of Emperor Cheng, he wants to see their brother and brother Gong, With a family in harmony, he wants to maintain the surface peace, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the secret crisis at all. Knowing that this trip is inherently dangerous, he will definitely send more people.

It is a big joke to say that the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the people. If there is an emperor who is an emperor, he has committed a crime, and it is also a matter of one sentence, even if it is to give a so-called explanation, Just find someone to take the blame, even if it is beheaded to show the public, you can know who the beheaded person is? After escaping that for a while, when I look back, I can be fooled again. Therefore, to put it bluntly, the lives of dignitaries and nobles are very valuable, and the lives of princes and grandsons are even more valuable. Every emperor shouts that he treats people like children. A son's life is probably more important than the thousands, or even 100,000 lives of those commoners. Perhaps, in Emperor Cheng's will, there was an order to kill the mob on the spot.

Li Hongyuan's obsession in this life is only Jingwan. Jiangshan's words should only be incidental. It is a tool to support Jingwan. He is not so eager to wait for that position, and even a little dispensable, as long as it is not one of his The brother sits on it and puts him under threat, it doesn't matter if his father sits for a few more years, or even longer than in his previous life.

With such a mentality, Li Hongyuan also decided to help a little, of course

, don't expect him to send someone to protect him. At most, he will give instructions to the people in the south. If his life is in danger, pull him if he can, and make trouble for him when there is no danger. However, if God wants him life, that's all it can do.

The floods in the south are severe, and people inside and outside the summer palace naturally have no mind to play. Of course, this is actually for Emperor Cheng to see. At this time, spending money like running water will definitely be punished. Take a bite.

Because the distance is too far, these people have probably heard the word flood, and never knew how terrifying and destructive the water is when there is too much water. I haven't personally experienced it, I haven't seen it, it's actually hard to imagine that kind of scene where everything is ruined, especially those girls who are in deep boudoirs, and the playboys who are indulging in enjoyment, maybe they have to complain twice, because a group of Untouchables, disrupting their lives.

But Jingwan knew that scene, but she had never seen it in this life. In her past life, she watched a lot on TV and experienced it herself. Although she did not encounter the most dangerous time of the flood, she saw a whole lot of houses being destroyed. Submerged, the thriving scene was replaced by a vast ocean, and the water that was the source of life became a beast that devoured everything.

Homes are ruined, people are displaced, and everything that has worked so hard is lost. In the past life, the survivors could still be resettled. To put it in a bad way, people who used to eat and wait to die might still be able to take this opportunity to live a good life, but what about the pain of losing loved ones? But what about the current refugees, what about them? It's hard to say that there is a broken shed temporarily living in, and it is a fortune to have a bowl of gruel mixed with sand and gravel that can make people's shadows...

Thinking of those scenes, Jingwan was a little dazed, and she didn't know what to think, but tears silently slid from the corner of her eyes. Sun Yijia, who was chatting with her, was startled, "What's wrong with Sister Wan?"

Jingwan returned to her senses, only to realize that she was actually crying, she quickly wiped away the tears with a handkerchief, and smiled, "I'm fine."

"Why are you crying so well when you're okay?" Sun Yijia was a little worried.

"I just heard from my grandfather that the flood area is too large, hundreds of thousands of people are homeless, and I don't know how many people will die. It's inevitable that I'm a little sad." Jingwan lowered her head and drank the water, and said with a slightly depressed mood.

"Sister Wan has always been soft-hearted and kind-hearted. It is inevitable to be sad to hear this, but there is nothing we can do about this kind of thing. Don't worry too much, it will be bad if you are hurt." Sun Yijia advised.

Jingwan raised her head to look at her, a little dumbfounded, what is this, she is not a saint who is compassionate and compassionate, in fact, she is just thinking about some things in her previous life. It seems that no matter when this is, this "lie" can't be said indiscriminately, and it can definitely "harm others and oneself". "I don't know if I will return to Beijing early?"

"I don't know, if the situation is too serious, and it is necessary for the sage to sit in the capital to facilitate the mobilization of all aspects, it should be returned early. If the sage's will is unimpeded and there is nothing wrong in the capital, it should be the same in the palace. Because of the bitter summer, since I can remember, I have come here to escape the summer basically every year. I don’t know if I am lucky or not. I have never encountered a situation where something major happened during the two months that led to returning to Beijing early.” Sun Yijia said softly. .

"According to what my sister-in-law said, I'm just unlucky. I've been here for the first year, and something big happened?"

"What nonsense," Sun Yijia reprimanded a little sternly, then stretched out his hand to pinch her, "Why don't you keep your mouth shut and say anything nonsense, such words are especially taboo at this time, let People have heard it. If you spread two random sentences, you might be able to put the flood disaster on your head, and then pull you to sacrifice to the sky to calm the anger of the sky. Don't say that I am alarmist, this kind of thing does not happen. Pass."

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong, really wrong, I don't dare to talk nonsense." Jing Wan hurriedly begged for mercy. She also realized that what she said was wrong, and now the world believes it.

As for what Sun Yijia said, Jingwan also knew something. When she was a child, what her grandmother told her to listen to, actually happened not long after the founding of Qiyuan. The cause of that incident was a casual remark that seemed like a joke, but it ended up causing a lot of trouble. However, the reason for such a result is caused by many factors.

Emperor Taizu's country has not yet been completely stabilized. It happened that the earth moved. It was when he encountered a large-scale draft, and in the place where the earth moved, there was only one woman who overwhelmed the heroes and glamorized the crowd. In terms of qualifications, the most She was a woman from the first palace, but because she was too outstanding, she became a beautiful girl. When she first entered the palace, she was inadvertently "fallen at first sight" by Emperor Taizu, but in just a few days, almost everyone inside and outside the palace knew about this woman's identity. Existence, and it has not been finalized, the rewards of Emperor Taizu are huge, such a person is definitely a big threat.

Then there was an earthquake. The woman was just worried about her family. The sentence "Why did you just leave and move on the spot?" became the beginning of her tragic fate. Someone caught this sentence and said she was a mysterious girl , when the time comes, she should return to the sky, but when God came to take her back, she found that she had left her homeland and did not know where to go, so she lowered the wrath of thunder, and only by sending her to the sky, this disaster will be subsided.

What a ridiculous and unreliable remark, but it has become more and more intense. Under the control of people with a heart, more and more people know it, and more and more people believe it. , request to send Xuannv to heaven. No matter how angry or reluctant Emperor Taizu was, under that kind of pressure, he had no choice.

As a result, a grand ceremony was held, and the beautifully dressed "Xuannv" was burned alive.

Although this matter was deliberately calculated, the woman threatened the interests of too many people. In the eyes of those people, it was simply unpleasant. Even without her words, I am afraid that someone would force her on the head. ,but

It can also fully explain that "disaster comes from the mouth", after all, her words saved a lot of trouble for some people.

Now is also a special time. If one is not good, this matter will be counted on the head of Emperor Cheng. It is impossible to say when he will issue an "edict of his own sin". If someone comes to blame him, he is still very interested. Although this matter, it is indeed very far-fetched to have to be involved with Jing Wan abruptly.

But once this inexplicable thing happens, it is really difficult to control.

Jing Wan chose to shut up silently.

At this moment, the maid next to Mrs. Luo came to invite the two of them to the main courtyard.

Sun Yijia's stomach has passed three months. Although she almost had a miscarriage because of her mother's relationship, she took care of it carefully. Now, it's finally time to be safe, and you don't have to be so careful.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, the two aunts and sister-in-law saw that Mrs. Luo had a happy expression on their faces, and there was a letter that had been opened by their hands. Before they could greet them, Mrs. Luo waived the ceremony first.

"What kind of happy event happened to grandma?" Jingwan asked with a smile.

"Your sister-in-law was born the day before yesterday. She's a kid, and both mother and son are safe." Mrs. Luo said with a smile.

"This is indeed a happy event." Both of them said in unison.

That was the fourth generation of the Luo family, and the first one was a golden grandson, which was a good sign for a family who valued children and inheritance. In fact, Xiao Wang's baby is already late. In terms of days, it was almost due to be born half a month ago, because it had not been very good before and was worried that it would be premature. In Beijing, I don't know the specific situation. A few days ago, Jingwan saw a somewhat sad expression on her grandmother's face. I was afraid that she was worried if something went wrong. I wrote a letter and went back to ask, and Luo Shangshu, the head of the family, had probably forgotten about it. They all seem to be tacitly planning for the worst.

"Grandmother, how is the child's body?" Jingwan asked with a three-point caution.

"The letter said that although it only weighed five kilograms, he cried very hard when he was born. The doctor also carefully checked the child's body, but he was thinner and had no other problems. Take good care of it. I can cultivate a chubby boy." Mrs. Luo is not a very emotional person, but she can clearly feel her good mood at this time.

So, of course, it couldn't be better. However, Jingwan still has a hidden worry in her heart. She is not sure if it was lead poisoning in the first few months. If it is, it will leave any sequelae to the child. However, she is just thinking about it now, and she doesn't understand it very well. Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, as the child of the Luo family, or the eldest grandson of the eldest house, he will definitely be raised well.

"Why was he born half a month late?" Sun Yijia asked.

She is also a mother-to-be who is pregnant with a child. Some things inevitably come to her mind, and she always wants to figure out what she doesn't understand. Of course, this is also because the child was born safely, so he will ask without any scruples.

"One may be that there is a slight error in the doctor's diagnosis. In addition, it is normal for this child to be born ten and a half days in advance or ten and a half months later." Mrs. Luo only wrote about the situation of her eldest grandson and daughter-in-law. A few days ago will be worried. At this moment, my eyes fell on Sun Yijia, because she was wearing a summer shirt, and when she was sitting, she could see a slight bulge in her lower abdomen, but it was only when she knew she was pregnant that she realized, "Don't think too much about it. , as long as it is well raised and nothing goes wrong, it doesn't matter if it is early or late, your child is much more stable than your sister-in-law's time." As for the near miss, this kind of thing should not exist.

Sun Yijia pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly.

But they all care about the children, and everyone can understand.

"As for Jingbo, isn't that bastard kid who hasn't painted or attended the banquet recently, why hasn't he been seen?"

As for the books that teach people to draw, Luo Jingbo has basically had no free time in the past few months, let alone exhausted. After getting through the fatigue period in the middle, Luo Jingbo's painting skills are also improving rapidly. In terms of color matching, it is not yet at the level of Jing Wan, but it is better than many people. Now that the task has been completed, although it has not After the feeling of disgust that comes from the fatigue period, I won't want to hold a paintbrush for a while.

According to Luo Peishan, this is the price of "cheap" to achieve glory. If it is really created by himself, there must be a long process. Fu Zhiliu was still thinking about his own future. During the time when he was bored, he was forced to continue, including Sun Yijia. Although he was distressed, he didn't say anything to let him give up, but Jingwan couldn't bear it. After all, it wasn't her thing. She acquiesced because she couldn't explain it. Because of that guilt, and because she didn't want her brother to be the source of pain because of painting, she told him not to force yourself. Luo Jingbo, who was in a mood for the people who drew him, calmed down, wiped his face, and gritted his teeth to endure it.

Luo Shangshu has said that the extreme will be the opposite, and it is not advisable to blindly be tough.

Sun Yijia joked: Sister Wan still has a solution.

Jing Wan was speechless.

Sun Yijia covered her mouth and smiled, "My grandfather threw him a pile of books on geography and water conservancy, saying that since he has nothing to do, he will study things. Grandmother, you don't know, reading those books, he said that he would rather paint, I'm probably used to using a paintbrush now, and I said that I don't want to paint anymore. However, many times a paintbrush is done. In our house, he lost a lot of uncolored base maps. There are so many, I directly Pick it up and give it to the little girl

We have used the manuscript for embroidery, and the embroidery effect is really good. Will I show it to my grandmother someday? "

"Master has given him another mission? What's the use of studying those things now? Could it be that he won't be able to develop in this area in the future? Jing Bo should accompany you more now." Mrs. Luo frowned slightly.

"I don't need him to accompany me. I live a worry-free and comfortable life every day. There are probably no other women who are more squeamish than me when they are pregnant. It is said that this gentle town, hero mound, and Jingbo will get used to hanging out in the back house. If I don't want to go outside, my grandmother has to worry." Sun Yijia joked.

"Your grandfather is there to be a villain, he doesn't have the life to hang around all the time." Mrs. Luo didn't care.

Jingwan also laughed, alas, the third brother is very hard, and the grandfather is similar to some extent.

Grandfather himself said that the extreme will be the opposite, and you can't just be tough, but when you do things, especially when you treat your grandson, it is an unambiguous and proper high-pressure policy.

Luo Shangshu was probably letting his son go, and he probably regretted it a little bit later, especially in Jingwan's marriage, the second son couldn't support it at all. The temperaments of the sons have been finalized, so they are too lazy to work hard to train them. It is better to start with the grandsons. Before, there was a plan to let the third generation hold up the lintel, but now the requirements are stricter.

Originally, he was only sixteen to study with him, and now he is less than sixteen, and he has to start to face another heavy face, and it is still the most irresistible mountain. When she met such a grandfather, Jingwan also held a moment of silence for her brothers, especially the younger brothers, who were all at ease until the sixteenth.

Luo Peishan came back exhausted. Although he has always been healthy and healthy, Jingwan was still worried that his body would not be able to take it. She asked Mammy Gong, and combined with the doctor's advice, she has been nourishing him with medicinal food recently.

Luo Peishan was also very happy to learn that his great-grandson was born. "The handbook handed over today said that many places in the south have cleared up, and the rest of the places have had less rain. It can be seen that the boy is a lucky star."

"Hu Man what?" Mrs. Luo patted him.

Luo Peishan laughed, "I just said it casually, it's in my own home, and there are no outsiders."

Luo Shangshu's words are actually "similar in purpose" to Jingwan Bairi's words. Whether it is good luck or bad luck, if it is related to the fortune of the country, it can only be related to the royal family. How far can others win? How far to hide.

The sunny weather in the south is a good thing and a bad thing. The scorching sun will intensify the growth of bacteria, which will be accompanied by a more terrible plague. Once it cannot be controlled, many people will get sick and more people will die.

This is something that is obvious to all, so this laughter cannot last long.

Jingwan has already looked up books and asked about the current methods of dealing with the plague. She has long considered the situation and wrote some articles, except that it is really feasible, that is, some common sense things in her previous life, she is also a layman , The things she wrote are also at the theoretical level. She doesn't know if they can be used. Taking something from her grandfather, Jingwan felt a little nervous, but fortunately, Luo Peishan did not ask any specific questions.

Jingwan was even thinking, could the things she wrote already have a theoretical basis, so she didn't arouse suspicion?

As everyone knows, what she wrote was transferred to Li Hongyuan's hands, and Li Hongyuan's actions were even more unambiguous, because he had long suspected that Jingwan had an unusual origin and had absolute trust in her, and even tried every means to find a clear statement for what she wrote. Come from, simply and neatly solved the possible worries.

After a while, when the things came into Luo Peishan's hands, and when he was presented to the imperial front, they were still those things in essence, but their appearance changed.

Luo Shangshu was so speechless, is this definitely his attitude towards his fiancée?

Prince Jin, your fiancé is really too qualified, the old man will not scold you in his heart in the future.

Some people are busy, and some people are so busy that they are about to get moldy, but they have never heard of returning to Beijing early. It wasn't until one day that Chen Zhengmin came to visit, Jingwan was shocked to realize that it was the end of July, and the people from the west had also returned. They did not return to Beijing, but came directly to the palace.
