Prime Minister

Chapter 488
Facing the inexplicable anger of the officials, Zhang Yue couldn't help being taken aback. Is this wrong?

Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang faced such inexplicable fire from the officials, but nothing was unexpected.The official family is such a person, showing joy and anger, lacking the city and solemnity of the superior.

In other words, our official never pretends!
Overturning Han Qi's medicine bowl, talking about Empress Cao with the palace people, and even saying in front of all the ministers that Empress Cao has no kindness to me.

This is especially true for ministers who scolded Privy Envoy Zhang Sheng in the court, and blatantly asked Cai Xiang to resign as the third envoy, leaving no room for others.

Even if the officials don't want to take Nandi away, it can be said that I will think about this matter again, but the officials directly expressed their selfishness to Zhang Yue.

Before Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang opened their mouths, Jia An, the prime minister in the censor, said directly: "Officials, this is not the words of a benevolent lord."

Before Zhang Yue could speak, Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang remained silent. They didn't expect that it was Jia An who stood up for him.

Zhang Yue remembered Ouyang Xiu's evaluation of Jia An, saying that this person is upright, but not thoughtful.

How is Jia An upright?
Jia An was already hard-headed during the Renzong Dynasty.

At present, the officials want to use Zhou Mengyang, the former minister of the palace, with Wang Guangyuan as the right and left. Jia An stood up and said no. The officials said that there is no one available around me. Available, let me teach you how to select talents?

The officials were blushed by Jia An's words, so they had no choice but to give up.

The official family has been in charge for more than a year now, and not even a single old member of the palace has been promoted, but Sima Guang, Jia An and the others forcibly held him down.

After Puyi, Ouyang Xiu put forward the theory of Huang Kao, citing the examples of Liu Xiu and Liu Bingji. Everyone knew that Ouyang Xiu was behind the government's intentions, but Jia An confronted Ouyang Xiu in court.

Now seeing the officials reprimanding Zhang Yue, Jia An is also criticizing in front of the court, this is not the act of a benevolent monarch.

The officials were so angry that they almost fainted in court.

"I want to protect my aunt's tomb, why is it wrong? Is my filial piety also wrong?"

Jia An said: "Your Majesty is right. If your Majesty is doing filial piety, it is certainly appropriate to do so, but if your Majesty is thinking of millions of people in a city, it should not be so. Your Majesty, now that you see the heavy rain in Bianjing, don't you know it at all?" Is this a warning from heaven to His Majesty?"

The official said: "Don't use the rhetoric of warning from heaven. I will inherit the great treasure and have my own destiny. How can it be said that there is a rain."

Jia An said: "Your Majesty, not only Bianjing, but since His Majesty took power, there have been sunspots every day, and the water in the river and Huai River has either overflowed or dried up. Going to the rainy summer, there will be more than autumn."

"Flooding in more than ten states in the southeast of Gyeonggi Province, the houses were completely destroyed, the old and the weak were displaced, and the poor roads were donated. The price of wives and children was lower than that of dogs and pigs. This summer, there was a severe epidemic, covering thousands of miles. what!"

"Nowadays, the flood in Bianjing is because of Jianman's ancestral temple. If it goes against the weather, the water will not moisten it!"

"Water does not moisten the world" is quoted from Hong Fan's Five Elements. The original text is Jianzong Temple. If you don't pray to the temple, you will abolish sacrifices. When the sky is against the sky, the water will not moisten you.Anyway, if the officials want to recognize their father, it means that they have slowed down Renzong, so it is the Jianzong Temple, so the heavy rain caused disasters.

Zhang Yue was dumbfounded by the side, it was originally a dispute between him and the officials, but it turned out that Jia An was in charge of the palace and blamed the emperor.

But Zhang Yue praised it from the bottom of his heart, good scolding!Although he doesn't like the theory of the induction between heaven and man, he must admit that it is easy to use to scold the emperor as a thief.

Jia An said: "Your Majesty, this rain is caused by spring drought and summer heat. Bianjing has never experienced such heavy rain before. Isn't this an early warning from heaven?"

The officials were ashamed by Jia An, and after Jia An finished speaking, he turned to Han Qi. Zeng Gongliang looked at Han Qi and said: "Now the second and third are in power, and the officials who know the officials are the first emperors. According to the father's words, that's why the spirits of the seven temples were furious, and the sky rained heavily, killing the people."

Zhang Yue was dumbfounded after reading it, Jia An is so brave, even Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang scolded him.

Han Qi said loudly: "Your Majesty, Jia An is crazy and rebellious, and he has no father!"

Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, Jia An took advantage of the heavy rain to speak of Jian Zong. This is a thick slander against heaven and man."

Then Zaizhi quarreled with Yushi Zhongcheng Dangdian, and the two sides talked about the change of heaven and personnel, but they didn't mention the flood for a long time.

At this time, Zhang Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty's love for family members is known to all the world, but please also give priority to the people of Bianjing, and release the flood quickly, so as not to turn Bianjing into a vast ocean."

"The minister risked his life to kowtow to His Majesty, and hope to obey."

When the official heard the words, his face was black and he didn't speak. He just didn't want to release the flood to the South Embankment. Why is Zhang Yue so clueless?
Han Qi said: "It's better to call the water supervisory officials from the capital to join us."

The officials agreed, and Han Zhi, the capital water supervisor, was sentenced to the palace soon.

Zhang Yue explained the ins and outs to Han Zhi, saying that now half of Bianjing has almost become a state of Ze, and the official said: "Zhang Qing wants to dig up the south dike, but my aunt's tomb is in the south dike, Han Qing, how about you, the minister of water control?" It seems?"

When Han Zhi heard that the official aunt's tomb was on the south embankment, he took advantage of the situation and said, "I thought that as long as the embankment of the Yellow River is preserved, Bianjing will be fine, and the heavy rain and flood can be released by itself, so there is no need to open the south embankment."

Hearing Han Zhi's words, the officials couldn't help but Longyan said happily: "Well said, Han Qing is worthy of caring about the people of the country, so he can protect the tens of thousands of mu of farmland of the people in Nandi."

Zhang Yue wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Han Qi: "Since Prison Han has already spoken, let's do it this way."

Han Zhi looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Zhang Taichang was sentenced to prison, when did you know how to control the water? You still put your heart into what you do, and don't bother to do it for you."

Zhang Yue looked at Han Zhi, then at the officials, Han Qi could only say in the end, "It's because I'm worrying too much."

Everyone exited together.

Jia An was the first to leave the hall with an angry expression on his face, and Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang were also very angry.

Zhang Yue was caught in the middle, he didn't know whether to go to Jia Anran or Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang explained that such a situation finally made himself very embarrassed.

On the contrary, Han Zhi smiled and said to himself: "Just now, the words of the palace collided, Zhang Taichang doesn't have to take it to heart."

The other party beat him up in front of the emperor, but he came to fix it in private, Zhang Yue said: "I hope that the prisoner Han will give more consideration to the matter of the Nandi."

Han Zhi laughed and said disapprovingly, "Forget it."

Walking out of the hall, Zhang Yue saw that the heavy rain was still pouring.

When Zhang Yue held an umbrella and walked outside the palace gate, he met the official of Kaifeng Mansion, who asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "It can't be done."

The official of the Kaifeng government sighed, "What should I do?"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang of thunder, which shocked everyone.

People on the left and right sides of the palace gate looked up at the dark cloud-covered sky at the same time.

At this moment, outside the Tokyo Tower, the Yellow River, which is almost at the waist of the tower, is still flowing, and the muddy water washes over the dike side by side.

Heding patrolmen are patrolling the embankment to prevent breaches, and a lot of sand and gravel wrapped in bamboo strips have been filled into both sides of the river bank.

And half of Tokyo City under the Yellow River is now submerged in water.

It was August [-]rd.

The rain was heavier.

The ditches on the ground of Bianjing City not only did not drain water, but were gushing water upwards. One after another houses collapsed under the continuous flood of water, and the people uttered mournful sounds.

After the officials got up, they heard that the well water behind the Xuanhe Palace was gushing out, and even the palace began to accumulate water.
