The common people depend on the sky for their food.
If God changes his face, the people will suffer disaster.
Seeing that the crops in the rice fields were being submerged bit by bit by the rain, the people had no choice but to do nothing.
Pain and depression condensed in the endless rain and continued to ferment.
The villagers of Tubei Village have lived a stable life for many years, and have accumulated some wealth in their hands, which can still support them.
But outside of Tubei Village, the people in the outer city who had just left their sharecropping life for two years were not so lucky.
Half of last year's grain was enough to satisfy my needs, and half was to replace my daily necessities. I am full of hope and am waiting for this year's new grain to arrive, so that I can continue to live a prosperous life.
A non-stop heavy rain in August easily destroyed the newly built hope.
As if despising the suffering suffered by the people was not enough, he once again pressed down on their protruding heads.
Not only the place of exile, but also many places in Yongzhou were affected by this, and border towns were also inevitable.
Local memorials reached the imperial court as quickly as possible.
On the day when the memorial was received, the emperor's order came from the palace:
"Immediately dispatch manpower from nearby cities and towns to support, evacuate the affected people, and strengthen the canals and dams of Yongzhou's rivers and reservoirs to prevent floods!"
"Prepare another local granary and open it at any time to store grain. If anyone dares to take advantage of the disaster to make money, behead him!"
"Instruct the generals of Xuzhou and Xiangzhou to each bring three thousand troops to the border city to strictly guard the defense line of the place of exile to prevent anyone from causing rebellion!"
"Ti Gan Zhenyu is the second-grade governor and will immediately go to Yongzhou to deal with the disaster! With my handwriting, I can dispatch surrounding troops and raise money and food as appropriate. Disaster relief is the top priority in everything!"
The orders were issued one by one, Gan Zhenyu took office, and immediately packed up and rushed to Yongzhou.
After coming out of Jinluan Palace, Wei Li was still frowning, and there was always an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Master Gan has acted prudently and will be able to deal with the disaster well." Ziyi followed him, knowing that he was worried about the situation in the place of exile, and even more worried about his relatives in Tubei Village, "And there are Tianbao and Bai Yu here, together. With the power of the three forces and Mr. Huo's control, the place of exile will be safe."
Wei Li pursed his lips, stopped and looked back, "Having said that, I am still worried. Natural disasters are different from man-made disasters. No matter how talented Tianbao is, he is still a human being. How can he fight against natural disasters on his own? What I am most worried about is that if there is a flood, The place will inevitably be in chaos, there will be loopholes in the defense, and those hiding in the dark will definitely fish in troubled waters... Uncle Ziyi, I can't feel at ease. You and Uncle Broken Blade are the people I trust the most. He is guarding the border now, and you are the only one I can use. "
When Ziyi heard this, he understood in his heart, and immediately bowed his hands and said, "Please give me the emperor's order!"
"You take the secret guard camp and leave the capital immediately, and protect them for me!"
"yes!"
Once the secret guard camp directly under the emperor left, there would be no one close to the emperor to protect him.
The two of them knew this, but no one mentioned it at the moment.
The emperor will not change his decision, but Ziyi can understand his mind.
At the same time, Chang'an envoy posthouse.
Envoys from various countries who came to negotiate alliances were still there, and they were not much slower than Emperor Xuanjing in learning about the disaster in Yongzhou.
In the courtyard of the Beixiang Envoy Corps, Feiyun hurriedly walked into the small flower hall for guests to take a rest, and reported the secret report he had just received, "The flooding in Yongzhou has begun. If the rain continues, the severity of the disaster will be unpredictable. . No matter how tightly defended the place of exile is, gaps will leak out due to chaos, allowing others to take advantage of them. Master, what are our plans?"
King Mobei sat on the small couch near the window. He turned to look at the gray sky outside, his eyes flashing, "Now the situation in the mainland has changed. The biggest disaster for all countries is no longer Su Jiuni, but Nansang. Su Jiuni Letting Yan Changkong go, without the bargaining chip that can hold Nan Sang in check, Nan Sang will definitely take action next. God-given opportunity, taking advantage of this opportunity, may be able to promote an alliance between Dayue and I, Beixiang. Feiyun, will the guards accompanying this trip Allocate half of it to rush to the border town of Yongzhou and help Su Jiuni when she needs it. There is no need to rush forward too early and act according to the opportunity."
"Master is worried that Nan Sangxu will take this opportunity to attack Su Jiuni?"
King Mobei turned around, raised his lips and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Nan Sang will definitely take action."
"My subordinates will do it now!"
Just as Feiyun left the small flower hall, another person walked in outside.
An old man in his 60s, dressed in silk-colored clothes and embroidered with a gold belt, he looked elegant and elegant, with an aura of a superior person without anger but in his eyes.
King Mobei immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Emperor Dongpu, you missed the greeting from afar and were negligent."
"Hey, King Mobei, don't be so polite. It's just you and me here. How about being more casual?" Emperor Dongpu smiled, walked into the small hall and naturally sat on the other side of the small couch, "I just saw the prince's personal bodyguards. Did you leave in a hurry to do something for the prince? Something about Yongzhou?"
"Nothing can be hidden from your sharp eyes." King Mobei shook his head and sighed. He took a small table from the side of the couch and placed it between the two of them. He poured tea with his own hands. "It is said that man-made disasters can be avoided and natural disasters can be avoided. The flood in Yongzhou is fierce. When the water rises and the water becomes muddy, there will be opportunities for those who fish in troubled waters. What does Emperor Dong Pu think of this matter?"
"You and I are here for the same purpose, for the peace of our country. Let's put it this way, you, me, and Emperor Nansang are all politicians, and Su Jiuni is a charlatan. Politicians value profits, and charlatans value righteousness. We and Su Jiuni is two completely unrelated people, but they both work hard for their goals and beliefs. The only difference lies in their different positions. This time, Dongpu wants the benefit that only Su Jiuni can give, so he naturally chooses Su. Jiuni."
The King of Mobei raised his cup and offered tea to the old man opposite him, "Emperor Dongpu, I would like to offer you tea instead of wine. Let's not talk about the future. This time, Beixiang and Dongpu have the same goal."
Negotiations between various countries and Dai Viet lasted for several months, with the two sides going back and forth and never reaching an agreement.
The two people in power understand that their sincerity in showing good intentions has not yet met Dai Viet's requirements, and this help may be their only chance to win over Dai Viet.
If she offends Su Jiuni, she seeks revenge against the culprit. If she pays her life for her life, she will not cause trouble again.
However, the feud with Nan Sang will only end if one of the countries is destroyed to the death. However, Nan Sang relies on the magic weapon and does not take the other countries seriously at all.
So this time, they must choose Su Jiuni.
To be honest, if we put aside family and country matters and talk about friendship with others, no one would dislike people like Su Jiuni.
Naturally, the actions of the two great powers Beixiang and Dongpu could not be hidden from the eyes of other people who were also in the post house.
All the countries followed suit and made their choices, but in the end no one quit. Even Darong and Long Yuan, who had the deepest hatred against Su Jiuni and others, also rushed to the border town of Yongzhou to contribute to the defense line.
While all parties were making arrangements, they had no idea that Nansang's dead soldiers were already quietly ambushing in the darkness of the outer defense line of the place of exile.
Like a dormant poisonous snake spitting out a scarlet letter, waiting for an opportunity to move.
