The prince is thinking of escaping marriage every day

It has been three years since Mu Qianli arrived in Yanting. By the beginning of summer, the rain in Yanting has not stopped. It has lasted for more than half a month, and the Xiangchuan River near Yanting is gradually full of water, overflowing the river line, and breaking the embankment to release the river at any time possible.

Mu Qianli recently led people to strengthen the embankment of the Xiangchuan River, and Yang Yanxi, who was standing beside him, pointed to the turbulent waterway in the river: "His Royal Highness, if the rain continues, the embankment will burst within half a day. "

"It rains frequently this year." Holding an umbrella, Mu Qianli looked at the pouring rain and said anxiously: "Let the people in the city try their best to evacuate to the high ground first, and then I will write a letter to Princess Yunhe, asking her to come to the city to assist the people in evacuating. "He said, frowning into the word Chuan, turned around and wanted to go back, but suddenly saw a few workers who were reinforcing the embankment in front of him suddenly lose their feet and fell into the river. swallowed by the river.

Mu Qianli's pupils fluttered, and he hurried forward, looking at the half-collapsed embankment, he said in amazement: "What's going on? Why did the embankment collapse?"

The people around had just witnessed the thrilling scene, and they dared not lie in fear, so Mu Qianli turned to look sideways, but saw that there was a pile of loose soil in the collapsed embankment, and he couldn't help being annoyed: "What's going on?" What happened? What about the stones used to build the embankment? Why is it full of sand?" He turned his head, looked at Yang Yanxi angrily, and asked, "Magistrate of Yang County?"

The rain was majestic, hitting the puddle on the ground and causing shallow waves, Yang Yanxi didn't care about other things, knelt down on the water surface, bowed his head and mourned: "Forgive me, King Chen, I really feel helpless?"

"Why are you cutting corners on the construction of the embankment? Why are you so helpless?" Mu Qianli was furious, and the rain fell on his paper umbrella, making a loud and piercing noise.

Yang Yanxi fell to the ground even more, and cried in grief: "His Royal Highness, to tell the truth, when the embankment was built that day, the money allocated by the imperial court was exploited layer by layer, and there was not much left in the place. We had no choice but to use the mud Sand is enough, although it is not strong, it can resist for a while, but who would have thought that this year's heavy rain... this embankment will not be able to withstand it after all."

"Then why didn't you tell this king earlier, if you told this king, those few city residents would not have died!" Mu Qianli scolded, Yang Yanxi knelt tremblingly, and said repeatedly: "I don't think so Something happened, who knows the weather this year..."

"Forget it, stop talking!" Mu Qianli interrupted him with a wave of his hand, suppressing his fury, watching the turbulent water in the river, crashing against the already weak embankment like a beast.Mu Qianli couldn't help frowning, and asked Yang Yanxi who was kneeling on the ground: "You just said that the embankment can last for half a day at most, but is it true?"

Yang Yanxi raised his head, gradually affirming: "Yes, I know that the embankment is not stable, so I guess it will take half a day at most."

"Don't hesitate over there... The river embankment is like this, it's better to reinforce it to save time and evacuate to a higher place." After he finished speaking, he immediately made a decision and instructed Yang Yanxi: "Ask the workers to evacuate from the river embankment."

He hurried back to the palace, Su Yuzhi had already helped Zheng Anjie to evacuate to the mountain beside the city, and Jin Chao was rushing to the door with other people in the mansion, but saw Mu Qianli put down his umbrella, it was too late to talk to him, so he just called out : "Jinchao, you come with me." He hurried to the study.

He stood in front of the desk, took a pen to write a few times, and slapped the envelope on Jinchao's body: "Go to Yushu to deliver the letter!"

He then walked towards the door again, walked to the gate of the mansion, looked at the evacuated people on the street, and saw Lin He organizing order among the crowd, so he hurried up and asked, "How many households in the city have not been evacuated?"

Lin He hurriedly replied: "There are still half of them!"

"Send someone to urge you with me!" Ling Shuyuan said, walking against the road among the evacuated crowd, walking deeper into the city.

The army has been defending Wucheng for half a month, but in the end they lost the enemy and were defeated.

In the barracks, Gu Fulin threw his helmet and armor on the table with a "bang", pointed at the lost cities in the sand table and said angrily: "I have never fought such a heart-warming battle in my life!"

"Those old scholars in the Ministry of War, have they researched anything? Should they surrender or continue to be defeated!" Gu Fulin asked Xiao Chenzhong who had just returned from Beijing with a letter.

Xiao Chenzhong shook his head in embarrassment: "I didn't make any decisions, I just let the border guards hold on."

"How do you support it? How the hell did you tell me how to support it? What about the grain and grass in Beijing? What about the ammunition? How can you support it if you don't have enough of these?" Hearing the noise, he came in from the outside, only to see that the atmosphere in the camp was tense, and Gu Fulin was sitting on a chair with a sullen expression on his face.

Shen Cong took a deep breath and sighed: "The food and wages from Beijing to the battlefield are less than [-] shi..."

"The central government of the capital sends [-] shi every month, where did half of it go?" Gu Fulin was very angry, but his tone was relatively calm: "Which civil servants in the capital can't protect their families and the country, but they still want to withhold borders?" The pay of the local soldiers?"

"In the past few years, there has been a lot of corruption among officials." Xiao Chenzhong frowned: "Subordinates, to tell you the truth, although Nanwang was mighty and powerful in those days, when he was there, there was very little corruption among officials..."

"King Nan is already dead!" Gu Fulin patted his head and said, "Your Majesty is really..." He didn't say any more, but everyone here knew what he hadn't said.

"Forget it, don't say too much!" Gu Fulin supported his forehead, endured the resentment and bitterness in his heart, put down his hands and said helplessly: "Now that Wucheng is lost, the two states of Minhuang and Canglan can no longer be surrendered to the enemy. Tell Shibai and Lan Zhao to lead troops to defend these two prefectures, as long as they last a day!"

The sky gradually turned into night, and Mu Qianli led the officers and soldiers in the city from house to house to inform the people to evacuate to the mountains as soon as possible. The rain kept falling, and the dark clouds were pressing down on the top of the head, even the air became extremely dull.

"Qianli!" There was a sound of horseshoes, and one shouted loudly. Mu Qianli looked back, and saw Mo Lanying quickly jumped off the horse, walked to his side and said, "How's the situation?"

"Now only half of the people in the city have been notified..." Mu Qianli said anxiously, staring towards the east with fixed eyebrows: "Over there in the east city, please trouble Yun and the princess for help."

"Speak up, of course I want to help!" Mo Lan said heroically, and turned back on her horse: "Otherwise I won't come!" She rode away, Lin He came in the rain, clasped his fists to Mu Qianli and said, "Chen Your Royal Highness, my subordinates have just inspected the embankment, and half of what we have reinforced has been destroyed. The rain seems to be intensifying, and I am afraid it will not last for a while."

"Is there a full notification from the west side of the city?" Mu Qianli couldn't help being angry in his words, and turned around and walked towards the street intersection, while hurriedly ordering: "The princess Yunhe on the east side of the city has brought people to notify , you bring your subordinates to speed up, and within half a stick of incense, ensure that all the people in the West City evacuate!"
