The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 430 The West Lake Water Comes Out, Leifeng Pagoda Falls Down

Outside the capital, a horse galloped towards Xizhimen.

And the guards of Xizhimen, after seeing the yellow flag planted on the back of that horse, immediately opened the middle gate, and pushed back the idlers on both sides who were about to enter and exit the city gate.

"Hangzhou Mansion Urgent Report!!"

The man on the back shouted and rode his horse into the city.

The defenders of the city did not dare to delay at all, so the city officials went up to the city immediately and sounded the gong.

The sound of the gong spread far away, and after hearing the sound of the gong, the inner city walls immediately passed the message to Chengtian Gate.

When that rider rode his horse to Chengtianmen, eunuchs had already been summoned to wait outside Chengtianmen.

The man got off his horse, carefully took out a memorial from the yellow box on his back, and handed his hands to the summoning eunuch who had been waiting for a long time.

"Floods in Hangzhou Prefecture, huge waves surged up from the West Lake for no reason, Hangzhou Prefecture has become a flooded country, the floods still do not stop, and the floods have spread to surrounding counties..."

The pawn's face was pale, and when he handed the wrinkle to the eunuch's hand, it was already exhausted.

The eunuch Chan Xun was also taken aback when he heard this.

Zhejiang Chengxuan announced that the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the government are all the focus of the imperial court's grain and rice taxation.

If it is true what the messenger in front of him said, then the weight of the memorial in his hand is not light.

Regardless of the life and death of the messenger in front of him, the summoning eunuch immediately expressed his spirit, holding the memorial in both hands, and hurriedly walked towards Fengtian Hall.

In Fengtian Hall at this moment, besides Jiang Yuyan who was sitting on the dragon chair, there were dozens of important court officials.

These courtiers were obviously divided into two camps at this moment, and their faces were red in the battle.

One of the camps is headed by Zhang Wei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, while the other is headed by some new ministers newly promoted by the new emperor.

The reason why the two are arguing with blushes and thick necks is that the old court guards were abolished.

These newly promoted courtiers all advocated that the new dynasty should abolish the hereditary frontier army system of the previous dynasty and switch to the recruitment system on the grounds of the change of dynasty and the corruption of the guard.

However, the veterans headed by Zhang Wei and Yang Wanli, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief, disagreed with the abolition of the hereditary system of guards.

Their reasons are also very good. After all, the new dynasty was established abruptly. Although it is safe and sound at the moment, once it is abolished, it is likely to cause mutiny.

But now the four barbarians are staring at any flaws that may appear in the new dynasty. At this time, if they are abolished, once the border guards mutiny, it is no joke.

"The Taizu of the previous dynasty established the foundation to reward the generals with meritorious service, so the hereditary system of guards was promulgated. But now, it has been hundreds of years since the Taizu of the previous dynasty, and the soldiers of the guards have long been weak. If they use thunderous means, How can the new dynasty deter the barbarians?"

A civil servant who was almost in his forties stood up and pointed to the chief minister of the cabinet who was several levels higher than him and said.

"Let me ask you, how many soldiers are there in the registered guards?"

Yang Wanli sneered, looked at the supervisor Shi who had just been promoted, and asked in a flat tone.

"About a million people..."

Before the Supervisor Shi could speak, the Ministry of War Minister beside him had already given the answer.

"One hair will affect the whole body. If it is abolished, these people will definitely gather together to make trouble, millions of soldiers will mutiny, and some people with ulterior motives will take advantage of the situation. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Zhang Wei also stood up at this time and looked at the person opposite.

"I……"

"Hangzhou Mansion Urgent Play!!"

Just when Supervisor Shi was about to refute, the side door of Fengtian Hall was pushed open, and the summoned eunuch, holding the memorial in both hands, walked quickly to the bottom of the Jiulong steps.

Everyone stopped arguing and fixed their eyes on the pale eunuch.

Jiang Yuyan frowned slightly, and Lianxing, who was sideways, walked down the Jiulong steps quickly, took the memorial from the summoning eunuch, and turned back to the side of the dragon chair.

Jiang Yuyan took the memorial and opened it casually.

After seeing clearly what was described above, even Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but change her expression.

Below, the cunning Zhang Wei and Yang Wanli looked at each other at the same time.

Although they didn't dare to look up at the king, they could see the slightest change in Jiang Yuyan's expression.

If they didn't even have this ability, they wouldn't be able to get where they are today.

"Hangzhou..."

Jiang Yuyan closed the memorial and handed it to Lian Xing at the side.

But Lian Xing understood, and after receiving the memorial, he walked down the Jiulong steps again, and handed the memorial to Zhang Wei who was standing in front of the courtiers.

"Flood? Leifeng Pagoda collapsed?"

When seeing the things depicted in the memorial, Zhang Wei immediately felt absurd.

The West Lake is not small, but the water hidden in it can hardly submerge the entire city of Hangzhou, right?
Moreover, the memorial also stated that not only the city of Hangzhou was submerged, but even the surrounding state capitals were affected.

What's even more bizarre is that where the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed, the water seemed to be endless, and it was still gushing out...

Are you sure this is a memorial?Instead of the drama submitted by the prefect of Hangzhou?
The Leifeng Pagoda fell, and the water in the West Lake came out...

Is that where the water gushes, and there must be a white snake that has practiced for thousands of years? !
Zhang Wei didn't say much. After reading it, he silently handed the memorial to the supervision history who was still arguing with him just before him.

"How, how is this possible?!"

After reading the memorial, Supervisor Shi was also shocked.

No matter how you look at it, it feels a little weird.

How can a lake of water cause such a big flood?

The memorial was passed down one after another, and everyone who saw it was horrified.

In the end, Jiang Yuyan said that the dismantling of the guards was put on hold for the time being, and the imperial envoys were dispatched to escort money and food to the Hangzhou government for disaster relief.

Then they sent Jin Yiwei to secretly find out the real cause of the flood in Hangzhou.

……

The world will be the first floor in the world.

Zhao Yu turned his head and looked around, it seemed that everyone except him looked dull and grim.

What's the situation?
Zhao Yu looked confused, while Di Shitian, who was capturing everyone with one hand, was also dumbfounded.

I have practiced the miraculous skills for thousands of years, but I can't catch Zhao Yu's primordial spirit! !
"drink!!"

Just when Zhao Yu was still in the dark, a coquettish sound came into the pavilion.

All the people who were originally captured by Di Shitian fell to the ground in an instant.

Fortunately, with this coquettish sound, their expressions gradually returned to normal.

Whoosh...

The sound of breaking wind passed by Zhao Yu's ears, and he went straight to Di Shitian who was seated.

"This deity has not been seen for a hundred years. I can't imagine that there is such a master in the Central Plains!"

Di Shitian flipped his hands up, one after another exuding a chilly energy, he picked up the sounds of breaking the wind one after another.

But at this time, when he fixed his eyes, he realized that the sound of breaking the wind was just a few women's black hairs.

Everyone's eyes froze, and then they fixed their eyes, and there was a figure beside Zhao Yu who couldn't see clearly!
The person who appeared suddenly was enveloped in a breath-taking blackness, not to mention his appearance, everyone couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman.
