The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 350 Respected

Jia Rang immediately sent the news about Yanzhou to the three provinces through Junyi.

The three senior officials did not dare to delay and immediately went to Weiyang Palace to find Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard about what the governor of Yanzhou had done in Yanzhou, his cheeks were livid with anger, his breathing was rapid, and he said indifferently: "This is an unfaithful and unfilial person!"

"That's how loyal and patriotic he is! The military and political leader of one party can't even understand the serious relationship between them, but he puts all the blame on the crown prince! He deserves to die!"

Once more than 50,000 people are about to break into chaos, what will the court do? Once they rebel, will the court use the army to suppress them?

These are his subjects of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If they are killed, the situation will be even more difficult to deal with. If they are not killed and they are allowed to rebel, the situation will get out of control.

The chiefs of the three provinces and six ministries are also extremely anxious. It will definitely be too late to send troops there now, unless Jia Rang can calm the situation there.

No matter who the court sends there now, it's too late. The only person they can rely on is Jia Rang.

But everyone now doesn't know Jia Rang's political level. It's a bit difficult for them to deal with these matters. It's easy to kill the governor of Yanzhou, but it's very difficult to quell the people's resentment...

After Weining heard the news here, he also came to Qilin Hall from the East Palace.

He asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to hold his troops first. He believed that Jia Rang would handle Yanzhou's affairs well.

Weining doesn't trust Jia Rang's political level, because he has nothing to do now and the only one he can count on is Jia Rang.

Now it's time to test Weining's employment skills. If Jia Rang handles it well, it means that Weining is smart at employing people, and Jia Rang will bring glory to Weining.

If it is not handled well, it means that Weining's use of people is not eye-catching enough.

In short, the court is watching whether Jia Rang can fight a good fight.

In fact, Weining didn't feel much pressure. No matter how Jia Rang handled it, there would be no problem. Weining didn't use him to engage in politics, but to manage the Yellow River.

He is famous in history for governing the officials of the Yellow River. Now that the Yellow River is slightly overflowing, so many people have suffered disasters. If the Yellow River is not managed properly, the Han Dynasty will never have peace, let alone other development.

The level of science and technology in ancient times was not enough. The Yellow River was a scourge. If it was not controlled, it would be an absolute disaster for the country.

The Yellow River can irrigate crops on both sides of the river, and it can also flood the residents on both sides of the river. Just like the officials appointed, politicians are not divided into good and bad people.

……

Yanzhou.

Jia Rang led his soldiers to find the governor of Yanzhou.

He pointed at the governor of Yanzhou and said fiercely: "Li Shimao! You deserve to die! You are an unfaithful and unfilial fool. You deserve the trust the court has placed in you!"

"Where do you put the crown prince? Is this your loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?"

Li Cishi sneered and said: "I am doing what I think is right. I will never dare to bear the responsibility for the evil things the Crown Prince has done!"

"Since he dares to abandon the people of Yanzhou, he should let Yanzhou bite back!"

With red eyes, Li Governor pointed to Yanzhou City, which was submerged in the flood in the distance. With tears falling, he asked Jia Rang: "Master Jia, have you seen it? So many people died in the flood, who dares to carry this?" Responsibility? Who can bear it?"

"When the Crown Prince wanted to build a dike and flood the city, didn't he think about the consequences?"

Jia Rang was silent for a long time. He looked up at Li Shimao and sneered: "If we don't make a decisive decision promptly, millions of people in Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou... will all die in the floods. "

"Do you think you are the only one who has been wronged? Do you think the crown prince really wants the people of Yanzhou to die? Have you considered his feelings?" "He is the prince, he is not a fool, he could have done nothing, then he would have He won’t bear any infamy, so why does he want me to open the door to Yanzhou?”

"Using Yanzhou City to save millions of people, or killing all the people including Yanzhou, how do you choose this multiple-choice question?"

"Do you think you are the only sane person in the world?"

"You are the governor of the state, a fourth-grade senior official. Can't you understand such a little truth?"

"The one who is wronged is not you, but the Crown Prince. He would rather bear the eternal infamy to do such a thing. You don't need to publicize it. Sooner or later, the people will know that the Crown Prince did these things."

"At that time, they could only be resentful in private, but they didn't dare to do anything. What you did today is tantamount to encouraging them to rebel. You... deserve death!"

Jia Rang looked at him angrily and spoke loudly.

Li Shimao suddenly froze. He was too anxious. The flood flooded Yanzhou City and his reason. That's why he confessed to the people that the prince did it.

Now Jia Rang's words were like a wake-up call, knocking him to pieces.

It seemed that this was the case. He had never considered the Crown Prince's grievances or why the Crown Prince made such a decision.

If it were him, he would have no idea how he would choose, but the prince made a decisive choice. Not everyone has such courage.

He looked at Jia Rang blankly and said tremblingly: "This..."

Governor Li bent down, saluted, and said with a look of shame on his face: "I... you deserve to die!"

Jia Rang said: "How to deal with the situation now? If more than 50,000 people rebel, will you let the court kill them or not? What do you think?"

"You keep saying that you are protecting the people of Yanzhou. Now you come to tell me, what should I make?"

Li Shimao gritted his teeth and glanced at Jia Rang blankly. He seemed to understand what Jia Rang meant, and then said with a righteous voice: "Kill me!"

"The prince will bear all the blame for his crimes with the help of his ministers!"

Jia Rang was in awe. He looked at Li Shimao for a long time, then he cupped his hands, bowed and bowed: "I admire you!"

If the opening of the Yanzhou embankment was not the prince's order but Li Shimao's order, then the prince would not bear any responsibility.

But no one could bring this matter up. Only Li Shimao was willing to let him explain to the people, let him bear all the blame, and then use his death to wipe out these things.

This is the situation Jia Rang hopes to see, and so is his hint just now. Li Shimao understands it.

To be honest, Jia Rang sincerely felt that Li Shimao was a good official, a rare good official, a good official who dared to act with kindness and righteousness.

Naturally, he does not want Li Shimao to die, but someone needs to take the blame for this matter. If he takes the initiative to take over everything, the crown prince will be able to get away from this matter immediately, but there will be one more person in history who will kill tens of thousands of people in the future. The traitor named Li Shimao!

Jia Rang's cheek twitched slightly and said: "I will wait for you here for a quarter of an hour. When you finish explaining to the people, I will take people over...to kill you!"

"I will ask the prince to make arrangements for your family. I will never treat your descendants badly. Please rest assured."

Li Shimao nodded, gritted his teeth and left resolutely.
