Datang: I was exposed by Princess Changle

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I lost my composure. Because I didn't sleep all night last night."

Fang Xuanling explained with a trembling face.

The voice just fell.

Li Shimin said in surprise when he heard the words: "Oh, Wei Guogong didn't sleep all night?"

"Come here, give Duke Wei a seat!" Li Shimin ordered solemnly.

Soon afterward, the chief servant Chang moved a chair and asked Fang Xuanling to sit down.

"Your Majesty, my humble minister..." Li Shimin interrupted Fang Xuanling before he could finish speaking.

"Wei Guogong, you haven't eaten breakfast yet?" Li Shimin asked with concern.

Afterwards, Li Shimin ordered solemnly: "Come here, get some breakfast, I will use it with Wei Guogong!"

Fang Xuanling was startled when he heard the words, and quickly said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I dare not eat the imperial meal!"

"Your Majesty, I have come here this time because I have something urgent to report to you!"

"Your Majesty, the Yellow River has burst its embankment!"

As soon as this word comes out.

"The Yellow River burst its embankment?!"

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, and said in surprise and shock.

"When did it happen, why did you report it now!"

Li Shimin shouted slightly angrily.

The Yellow River broke its embankment, this is a big event!

The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are the two most important mother rivers in the Tang Dynasty. These two rivers have nurtured countless people in the Tang Dynasty.

But once they get angry, they are also very terrifying.

One breath can destroy countless fertile fields, houses, and people on both sides of the strait...

Moreover, a catastrophic flood can cause economic losses to Datang as high as tens of millions of taels!

Fang Xuanling responded anxiously when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, this matter... should have happened before."

"The people below report up layer by layer, and it will take some time during this period."

"Your Majesty, you also know that it takes too long to convey the news all the way from Henan Mansion to Chang'an City."

"Weichen also just got the news late last night, and he was very anxious for a while!"

"But the palace was locked at that time, there was no other way, so I had no choice but to stay outside the palace early before dawn, waiting for His Majesty to summon me."

"I just want to report this matter to Your Majesty as soon as possible... Let Your Majesty make a decision!"

Li Shimin's face darkened when he heard this, and he was slightly silent.

"Wei Guogong, do you know which area burst the embankment?"

he asked solemnly.

Chapter 320 This year's Tang Dynasty is really full of disasters!

The Yellow River Basin is so long, the location of the embankment is also very critical.

In some places, the dikes can barely be maintained, but in some places, the dikes can be broken!

"It's the area around Henan Road." Fang Xuanling hurriedly reported with concern.

"Now is the day of the summer flood, and the dams there have been in disrepair for a long time."

"According to the person who reported below, the last time the embankment was consolidated was during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty!"

"How many years have passed, and it is God's blessing that the hidden danger has not broken out until today."

Fang Xuanling had a helpless wry smile on his face.

According to common sense, this kind of critical dam should be inspected at least every year, and reinforced every two or three years, so as to be safe.

But after Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would not allocate funds to such a poor place, and the place naturally fell into disrepair.

After years of immersion in the water of the Yellow River, it can only be said that even the modern steel bars of this kind of dam will rot!

It has been able to support it for such a long time, and it has only been announced that the embankment has burst. Isn’t this God’s blessing?

"So it's there?"

Li Shimin rubbed his aching temples, and said lightly, "Let me think about it carefully."

"Director Chang, pass on the breakfast!" Li Shimin ordered solemnly.

He urged the housekeeper Chang, seeing that Fang Xuanling had stayed up all night, he probably was already hungry by this time.

Soon after.

A group of court ladies filed in and served a steaming breakfast.

Li Shimin moved his chopsticks first, and began to eat with a look of indifference.

When Fang Xuanling saw this fragrant food, his stomach let out a growl.

He endured it for a while, but in the end he couldn't help it anymore, and with a grateful expression on his face, he cupped his hands and thanked His Majesty for the meal.

Then, he moved his chopsticks with a little embarrassment.

He really couldn't bear it because he didn't eat anything all night!

Then it started to gobble it up!

"To solve such a difficult matter right now, it seems that I still have to ask King Jin for advice!"

Li Shimin was thinking secretly.

"Hey, how much damage will the Yellow River cause to Datang this time?"

"This year's Tang Dynasty is really full of disasters!"
