Chapter 1455 The Holy King and Ming Lord!
Liu Jie rode forward and said in a low voice: "What are the orders from the unknown servant?"
This move seemed a bit embarrassing. The dignified second-in-command in the Yushitai was actually being shouted at... But to be honest, Liu Jie was really worried about Fang Jun.
This stick was quite informal in his actions, and he had few scruples in his willful actions. Not to mention that he dared to beat himself as a minister in public. Even on that stormy and rainy night in Dongshi, Liu Jie had to think about it afterwards. I suspect that the flames flying around were most likely caused by Fang Jun's malicious intent...
As a censor who heard about things, Liu Jie has always been known for his tough and unsentimental attitude.
He is not afraid of those with high official positions, those with high positions, those with deep backgrounds, or those with strong backing, but he is only afraid of those who act regardless of the consequences, who tend to be hot-headed and act arbitrarily on impulse...such people do not follow the rules. , the destructive power is too great.
There is no doubt that in Liu Ji's opinion, Fang Jun is such a stick...
Fang Jun turned to look at Liu Ji and asked: "In the face of the disaster, the magistrate of Jingyang County did not go to the front line to organize emergency rescue and fight against the flood. Instead, he hid in the yamen and enjoyed himself, ignoring the people and officials of the county. It is really a shame for our country." The dignity of officials in the Tang Dynasty, these scum who are afraid of danger, do you care about them?”
Many officials took a breath of cold air. Now that Fang Jun has arrived in Jingyang, he will use the county magistrate to sacrifice the flag?
This is too outrageous!
Liu Jie disagreed. He had spent half his life impeaching officials. How could he care about a small Jingyang County Magistrate? Moreover, what Fang Jun said is indeed correct. At this time of dangerous flooding, as the highest official of Jingyang, he was derelict in his duty if he failed to go to the front line to direct the flood control in person.
Furthermore... this Jingyang County Magistrate seems to be from the Wei family?
He glanced at Fang Jun thoughtfully, thinking that he was a mad dog and would bite whoever he caught. Who would have thought that Fang Jun would be ruthless... He took it for granted that Fang Jun was using the topic out of personal grudges, but Liu Jie was consistent with Fang Jun in his attitude towards Jingzhao Webster.
Thinking about the ugliness Wei Yijie, the Minister of Justice, had brought upon him, Liu Ji gritted his teeth with hatred...
He was by no means a broad-minded person. Now that he had the opportunity, it was Fang Jun who pulled the trigger. He agreed to give the Wei family a hard blow and did it casually. Why not do it?
Liu Ji rolled his eyes, pretending to be helpless, and seemed a little unwilling. He sighed: "Since the Fang Shilang said this...it is naturally within my duties. However, I cannot listen to this. The county magistrate’s one-sided statement requires careful investigation and evidence collection before he can be impeached.”
The words are very beautiful, fully demonstrating the great image of a fair and wise censor.
However, Fang Jun sneered... He could guarantee that Liu Jie would definitely investigate, but when the impeachment memorial was presented to His Majesty Li Er, it would be full of black material about the Jingyang County Magistrate... Nothing about the good place.
The county magistrate Dou Zhili was still a little confused. Why was it that his two complaints, whether minor or not, were enough to make Wei Yifang step down?
But he was not a fool. After thinking about it for a moment, he secretly felt regret in his heart.
This is being used as a knife...
But now that the matter has come to this, what can he say? This room servant must have some grudges with Wei Yifang, and what he was looking for was just an excuse. Even if he retorted at this time, it would not help. As for Wei Yifang...if you offend him, just offend him. Anyway, he really doesn't like that young man.
Then he stood aside silently and said nothing.
Fang Jun looked at the sky. Although the clouds were low and the sky was dim and the rain was pouring down, the surrounding area was confused. However, he estimated that it was already approaching evening, so he asked Cheng Yaojin beside him: "Without further delay, let's rush to the Jinghe Dam as soon as possible." , how about we see what the situation is like and then decide on the next step?”
Of course Cheng Yaojin had nothing to do: "You are the chief officer this time, Mo Ziran will obey orders in everything. Erlang does not need to worry about someone's title and official position, but if you have orders, just speak out."
"Okay! Let's hurry up and rush to the dam!"
With an order, the army started again. Fang Jun ordered the county prime minister Dou Zhili to lead the way, followed by thousands of troops marching forward in the wind and rain.
From time to time, women and children in farmhouses on the roadside heard the sound of neat footsteps outside in the wind and rain. They were all curious, so they put on their rain gear and went out to check. When they saw the groups of vigorous and majestic Youwuwei troops marching on the official road, they couldn't help but be shocked. The neighbors on the left and right were looking for each other, but they didn't know what was going on.
Could it be that the border war broke out again and the imperial court mobilized the army to rush to the battlefield?
At this time, two or three scribes from the Ministry of War were seen riding horses and wearing raincoats, wandering on both sides of the team. When they saw people going out to explore, they rode up to the front and loudly publicized the actions of the imperial court.
"According to your Majesty's order, the five thousand troops of the Youwu Guard marched to the Jinghe River Embankment to assist the people of Jingyang in jointly fighting floods and protecting the embankment! Your Majesty has said: Is there anything in the world that is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. I am a god-given monarchy How can we bear to see the people of Jingyang being ravaged by floods and having their homes destroyed? This time, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty went to the disaster relief, on my behalf, to be with the people of Jingyang, even if the embankment collapsed, people died!"
In the wind and rain, the scribes shouted out their prepared rhetoric at the top of their lungs, and it quickly spread among the people...
As soon as it was spread to ten, and from ten to hundreds, the news spread throughout Jingyang as fast as it had wings. The common people and gentry were all excited and their eyes were filled with tears!
Since ancient times, fire and water have no mercy. In the face of raging floods, almost all dynasties organized local government organizations to fight the floods first. Naturally, everyone was happy if they could survive the floods. But if they could not survive, the floods would break the dams, ravage their homes, and kill both humans and animals. Even if there are one or two people who are lucky enough to survive, apart from receiving a small amount of relief and comfort, they will inevitably become refugees.
The imperial court mobilized the army to participate in flood fighting and rescue?
This is something that has never been heard of before!
Even ordinary people who are illiterate know that the army is an important weapon of the military. Apart from resisting foreign humiliation and putting down rebellions, how can it be easily used for the life and death of a few ordinary people? Especially within the Gyeonggi Province, the mobilization of one soldier or another is enough to arouse the vigilance and tension of the entire court. If it is used by someone with ulterior motives... the consequences are simply unimaginable.
However, now, when a natural disaster is about to wreak havoc in Jingyang, His Majesty the Emperor, regardless of the safety of the imperial power, brazenly orders the deployment of an army to fight the natural disaster together with the people of Jingyang...
"Jingyang is so lucky! We the people of Jingyang are so lucky!"
In Jingyang City, a private school teacher with white beard and hair ran onto the street, not caring that the pouring rain instantly drenched him like a chicken. He looked like he was crazy and shouted loudly in the heavy rain: "Since ancient times, has this happened? Waiting for the Holy Son of Heaven who regards the people as his children? Natural disasters are ruthless, but His Majesty is the son of God. He did not obey the destiny in the face of disasters. But to lead us to defy fate! The flood is irreversible, but the human heart is even more irreversible! You are really lucky to be under the rule of such a holy emperor. Why are you still hesitating? There is only one more chance to follow the old man. If your tone is strong and you can still lift a handful of earth, go and fight the natural disaster together with the army. If the embankment is there and the people are there, people will die if the embankment collapses!"
"The embankment is there and the people are there!"
"The embankment collapsed and everyone died!"
Behind the old gentleman, dozens of his students raised their arms and shouted, following the old gentleman's thin figure in the wind and rain, trotting towards the city gate and rushing out of the city.
The common people are the humblest group of people, but they are also the easiest to be incited... The news spread rapidly inside and outside the city, and many people were moved. Originally, all the young people in the city had gone to the embankment, leaving only the old, weak, women and children, but now the crowd was shocked. Just as the old gentleman said, as long as there is still a breath left and can still hold a handful of earth, They all walked out of the house with excitement on their faces and ran into the wind and rain.
There were octogenarians, children, breastfeeding women, young girls... Countless people poured into the streets, forming a rolling torrent, rushing out of the city gate and towards the embankment.
At this moment, in Jingyang City, it can be said that all the people are united!
When the embankment is there, people are there, but if the embankment breaks, people will die!
The whole city was shaken!
In the county government office, Wei Yifang had just changed into a neat robe, and the wet and greasy feeling on his body was finally gone, which made him let out a long sigh. However, the mood was not much relaxed. As he drank tea worriedly and thought about how to overcome the imminent crisis, he heard faint shouts from outside.
Anxiety suddenly surged in my heart.
Recently, Kavin has been stuck so much that I have been tortured to the point of ecstasy, and I don’t even have the face to ask for votes... Please bear with me, now that I have figured out the clues, Guanzhong still needs some preparation, and then there will be a copy of the Eastern Expedition. Stay tuned.
