However, there are several rivers in Xuzhou, such as Yinghe River, Shuangji River and Qingliu River, among which Yinghe River and Shuangji River are tributaries of Huaihe River.

In history, the Huaihe River flooded and caused large-scale floods many times. "Heavy rain and big disaster, light rain and small disaster, no rain and drought" refers to the Huaihe River Basin.

Li Wangyou could almost conclude that the continuous torrential rain must have a rather large scope of influence.

Even the water level of the Yellow River has risen a lot, let alone the Huaihe River Basin.

The flood in Xuzhou in the fourth year of Zhenguan must have been caused by this heavy rain!

After seeing off the messenger, Li Wangyou sighed helplessly, and returned to the hostel with Niu Wu and others, waiting patiently for the rainstorm to stop.

No one expected that the torrential rain lasted for three days and three nights without any intention of stopping.

And there is no news of the two boat bosses who risked their lives across the Yellow River to deliver the letter.Li Wangyou didn't know whether Li Er and Chaotang had received his letter.

On the fourth day, the torrential rain finally stopped, but it still didn't clear up, but a drizzle started.

827 Imperial Envoy

Li Wangyou looked at the sky, then ordered Niu Wu to arrange for someone to go to the ferry to check the situation, whether he could cross the river today.

They were trapped in Fenglingdu for three days, so Huayin County probably couldn't hide it anymore?

He didn't expect that it would be really unlucky for him to sneak out with Li Chengqian and Li Tai and be trapped on the north bank of the Yellow River by the heavy rain.

Li Wangyou was more concerned about whether the letter he ordered someone to take the risk of sending across the river was actually delivered to Chang'an City.

The dandies have long been bored in this Fenglingdu, trapped in the hostel by the heavy rain every day, unable to go anywhere, making everyone extremely depressed.

If he had known this earlier, he might as well have stayed in Huayin County.

However, what Li Wangyou and the dudes didn't expect was that the sound of horseshoes sounded densely on the street outside the hostel before the trilogy who went to the ferry to check the situation came back.

Cheng Chu listened silently, and couldn't help but change his face slightly: "Zi You, why do you look like the troops of the Imperial Army? Only the Imperial Army can do such a neat hoofbeat."

The dandies looked at each other, then looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai, why did the imperial army appear at Fenglingdu, did they come to look for the crown prince and the king of Yue?

Before Li Wangyou asked people to go out to check the situation, he saw the shopkeeper of the inn stumbled in, and said out of breath, "My lords, there is a large group of imperial troops outside, and the inn that is coming down is surrounded. , but came to look for the nobles?"

Li Wangyou thought to himself, it seems that his letter should have been delivered.

But why didn't Li Er quickly send people to Xuzhou for disaster relief and bring the imperial army to Fenglingdu?Are you afraid that something will happen to him with Li Chengqian and Li Tai?

Li Wangyou and the others hurried out of the hostel, and the sight in front of them shocked everyone.

The long street outside the hostel has already been blocked by heavily armed imperial guards, driving away all the spectators.

In front of the imperial army, there is a full set of guards of honor for the founding prince, the crown prince, and the king of Yue...

The first person was Mi Tuo, an old acquaintance.

Li Wangyou couldn't help touching his nose, thinking to himself what does Li Er mean by this?With such a big fanfare, the guard of honor is clearly displayed, what is the trouble?

In the crowd, Li Wangyou also saw Afuluo's figure, stuck out his tongue at him in embarrassment, and pointed to Mi Tuo in front of him secretly, which naturally meant that the matter had been exposed.

When Mi Tuo saw Li Wangyou, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai, he first bowed and saluted, and then took out a scroll of silk yellow paper from his bosom.

"Li Wangyou, the Marquis of Kaiguo County in Huxian County, received the edict!"

Li Wangyou hurriedly bowed and saluted, listening to Mi Tuo read the will.

It has to be said that Li Wangyou was very surprised by Li Er's will.

In the decree, Li Er appointed Li Wangyou as the dethroning envoy of Henan Province, and immediately went to Xuzhou, Henan Province to inspect and deal with the flood disaster.

What surprised him even more was that Li Er actually asked him to bring Prince Li Chengqian and Li Tai with him to experience the suffering of the people.

The dandies were all arranged to be included in the entourage of Li Wangyou, the dethroned envoy, and headed to Henan Road together.

This decree caught Li Wangyou a little off guard. He never thought that he would warn Li Er of the flood in Xuzhou, but he would be responsible for disaster relief.

In his secret play to Li Er, in order to make Li Er believe in the Xuzhou Dashui, he shamelessly borrowed the words of the Taoist ancestor Tuomeng.

Anyway, he couldn't think of any other reason. Since he had already used it once, he might as well use it again.

If Li Er doesn't believe it, he can go to his ancestors to verify it.

Li Wangyou didn't know that among the two boat bosses who risked their lives across the Yellow River that day, only one successfully arrived at Tongguan and presented the letter.The boat of the other boat boss was washed downstream by the turbulent river.

After seeing Li Wangyou's letter, the captain of Tongguan did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered people to hurry up and send Li Wangyou's secret performance to Chang'an City.

Even though there was a heavy rain blocking the road, the messengers sent by Tongguan ran all the way, changing horses in the post station every twenty miles, but they braved the heavy rain and ran for more than 200 miles before dark to send Li Wangyou's secret performance to Li Wangyou. After entering Chang'an City, Li Er's royal case was set up.

Li Er was skeptical about the imminent flood in Xuzhou, Henan Province, which Li Wangyou said in his secret performance.

Li Er didn't believe what Li Wangyou said about Taoist ancestors entrusting dreams.The last time the aristocratic family attacked him and wanted Li Er to punish him, he suspected that it was Li Wangyou who did the trick, but there was no evidence.

But Li Er couldn't completely disbelieve what Li Wangyou said.

After all, his nephew, although he was mysterious, had never joked about such an important matter.

Li Er thought for a moment, then ordered someone to invite Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji, and gave Li Wangyou's secret performance to the three of them for review, hoping to see their opinions.

After Fang Xuanling and the others read the secret play, they were also skeptical.

"Your Majesty, from what I have seen, what the Marquis of Hu County has said must be guarded against. If there is a serious flood in Xuzhou, I estimate that within four or five days, the governor of Xuzhou will have news. But no matter what, it is still early. It's better to be prepared." Fang Xuanling is a person who is extremely stable in his work, and his speech is also smooth and steady, without leaking.

Du Ruhui nodded lightly, expressing his agreement.

Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, but then said: "If your majesty orders the Marquis of Hu County to depose the envoy of Henan Province, order him to go to Henan Province immediately. If there is really a flood in Xuzhou, the Marquis of Hu County can also make a decisive decision to save all the people. In the midst of fire and water."

"Zhao Guogong's method is good, and the minister seconded it!"

Li Er saw that his three confidant ministers all had the same opinion, so he immediately made up his mind and ordered Li Wangyou to be the deposed envoy of Henan Province.

Deposing an envoy is not an official position, but an envoy.

The bureaucratic system of the Tang Dynasty is divided into several categories: titles, casual officials, service officials, honorary officials, and envoys.

To put it simply, knight titles and casual officials represent the rank of officials, while commissioned officers are the specific positions of officials, and honorary officers are used to commend those who have military merits. treatment, but can directly deal with specific affairs, that is, have power.

Li Wangyou's title is Marquis of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, and his scattered official title is Doctor Yinqing Guanglu. From the third rank, this is his treatment and status.

And his position, that is, the official, is the county captain of Huayin County.

Sanguan decides Li Wangyou's status and official uniform, so in Huayin County, he wears a purple official uniform to go in and out of the county government. How can this prevent Shang Zimo and others who are wearing green official uniforms from feeling extremely painful .

Changsun Wuji's proposal to depose the envoy is an envoy.
