Chapter 50
Today's Holy Majesty said it nicely, it is the year of the heyday of Spring and Autumn, but it is not nice to say, he is already in the dusk of Xishan, but the princes are all grown up.

There is no space for two tigers on one mountain, there is only one position, even though they dare not take the emperor's idea, the adult tigers below are biting each other, each standing in line, but they are constantly using their hands and feet in the dark.

Regardless of the local officials or the important ministers in the court, they are already standing in line.

The courtiers rely on their sharp eyesight to cling to the powerful and powerful, which cannot be underestimated.

Emperor Hui'an has a headache...

Before the flood season of the Yellow River this year, Emperor Hui'an sent Wei Ziqian, a young, courageous and capable man, to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate secretly.

Don't look at the emperor's sixtieth year, and his health is getting worse.The mind is still clear.

He asked the young Wei Ziqian to go to Qinzhou Road, and first settle the matter of private salt in Chuanzhou.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ziqian really lived up to his expectations. He solved such a big problem in a few days, dug out Jiang Qingyuan, the instigator of the collusion between the government and businessmen in Sichuan Province, and solved some problems in the court all day without doing business. Noisy veteran.

It's just that at the end of the investigation of the case, Jiang Qingyuan's backer turned out to be the crown prince Chen Rui.

As a result, the eccentric emperor let go of it with a lot of thunder and a little rain, and then he took the knife on those noisy veterans.

Do you really trust Wei Ziqian when you are the emperor?
No, because Wei Ziqian is young and his foundation is not deep.There is no such thing as forming a party for personal gain.

Trust him and promote him to the official position, one is to do more work for the court, and the other is to tell him to be grateful and to be more loyal to the emperor and the court.

Since ancient times, the emperor has long been able to control the heart of his courtiers to the fullest!
Another reason is that the local officials know Wei Ziqian very rarely, so it is also convenient for him to investigate the case.

The emperor also thought it over carefully, Wei Ziqian is not one of those veteran ministers with high morals and prestige, who sells his old qualifications if he has some political achievements, and his tail goes up to the sky!I wish I could make him a prince, no, I want to ride on my head!
As for Wei Ziqian's identity as Prince Cong's grandson, the emperor was not afraid.

Firstly, the Wei family has no military power, and secondly, the Wei family is a noble family, and they never formed cliques, let alone suspected of taking sides.

In other words, Wei Ziqian was promoted from a Hanlin editor to a minister of the Ministry of punishment at a young age, until now he was a third-rank official.Colleagues are envious and jealous, but they see it calmly.

Why are you here?

Officials go up and down in ancient times, just like you were just a seventh-rank sesame official, and then you were promoted to a second- and third-rank official in the middle of the court.It can be understood as the mighty grace of the emperor!
What's more, yesterday you were the chief assistant of the first rank, the position of the prime minister, but you were captured to the end in a blink of an eye and became an official with no rank.He even copied and beheaded the whole family, destroying the nine clans!

The world will say that the emperor's authority is strict!
Therefore, if you want to enter an official career, you must be mentally prepared to face it calmly and not be surprised by honor or disgrace.

At this moment, Wei Ziqian frowned slightly, looking at the rolling Yellow River in front of him with a pair of pitch-black eyes in thought.

Prepare a strategy before you come, and your heart is like a mirror.

According to the flood control records of past dynasties, the measures taken by the outsole during flood control and flood control include "sheep report", "horse report", "dog report", "step report" and other alarm methods.In the event of a flood, in addition to immediately reporting to the superiors and the court, the people in the disaster area should be notified in time to guide and evacuate.It is also difficult to evacuate in time. The predecessors summed up a set of methods: in case of danger, immediately hang flags, hang lights, and strike gongs to send emergency rescue signals, remind rush repairs, and arrange for people to evacuate.

In addition, in order to fully and comprehensively grasp the disaster situation, the flood officials also set up special "water officials", "sikong", "capital water supervisor", "water doctor" and "river governor". They are full-time flood control officials.While emphasizing the timely reporting of flood conditions, the imperial court also required full-time water officials and local officials to report the disaster situation in a timely manner, forming a complete and effective disaster reporting system.

Needless to say, either Wan Yi'an, the governor of the river transport, neglected his duties, or he enriched his own pockets and embezzled the flood relief supplies.Otherwise, there is no other explanation?

Therefore, on the first day Wei Ziqian arrived in Qinzhou, he first went to investigate on the embankment of the river.

Looking at it, he could see that there was a problem.

It stands to reason that Governor Cai of Heyun shouldn't make such a low-level mistake!
It's hard to say that he is not a corrupt person.

Wei Ziqian looked at the obviously unqualified embankment, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Lin, you stay and lead someone to survey the remaining embankments, calculate the data, and draw a good picture."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!" Seeing the angry look on his master's face, Wang Lin didn't know the seriousness of the incident?
Wei Ziqian had to hurry up and submit the notebooks he saw, otherwise, the Yellow River would burst its embankment again during the flood season a few months later, and it would be ordinary people who would suffer.

······
Xia Sichan rested in the inn and slept until the sun was high before lazily waking up.

After eating enough, sleeping enough, and nourishing enough energy, I became bored again.

"Young Mistress, I took care of you when you were about to leave the house. He said that you were bored so you went out for a walk. I will follow you, so it doesn't matter if you keep it."

Xia Sichan glanced at the tall young man who was as cold as iron in front of him, and the icy aura on his body was also compelling.

She said before that she doesn't need him to follow her, so why did that person still keep him to protect herself?

Forget it, it is said that there are more people around, and the safety is more secure.

Coupled with the fact that Lu Tao and Shi Ju were around, nothing would happen in this day and night.He nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing Shi Ju and Lu Tao jumping up for joy, they hurriedly prepared the fence and the red oiled paper umbrella for going out.

No wonder, they are only sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, how can they not be tempted when they see them talking about going shopping?

This time Kang Cheng did not follow as far behind as last time, but followed closely behind.

The inn was originally located in the downtown area, not far from Donglin Street, the most prosperous main city in Qinzhou.Therefore, before going out, the proprietress of the inn enthusiastically stood in front of the gate and pointed out the location of Donglin Street to them: "Guest officer, the distance is not far, and you can get there with a cup of tea, no need to take a carriage."

"Thank you, lady boss." Upon hearing this, Siju thanked the lady boss, turned around and carefully helped Xia Sichan cross the threshold and walk out.

The proprietress with a round figure in her 30s has been running a hotel for many years, and this is the first time she has met a young couple with outstanding looks.

Compared with this gentle little lady, her husband is so cold that no one dares to approach her.

The weather at the beginning of May was already scorching hot, Xia Sichan still covered her face in order to avoid unnecessary troubles.

I didn't expect to set foot on Donglin Street in the main city, and I caught up with a lively scene.

I remember when I was a child, I went to the teahouse with my elder brother to listen to books. There was always a scene in which Deng Tuzi molested a good woman, and the pretty scholar drew his sword to help when he saw injustice on the road.The storyteller spit, and the gavel is banging, but it is far less vivid than seeing it with one's own eyes, which is outrageous.

 Floods have been an existence that cannot be ignored since ancient times.
