After Chu Lan returned, Zhang Qingjiu was detained by Chu Feng in the Jufu for two full days.
On the third day, she finally got Chu Feng's permission. Just as she was about to go to the Prince's Mansion, an imperial edict summoned her into the palace.
Seeing the traces of worry on the face of the eunuch Defu next to Chu Wei, Zhang Qingjiu's expression also became serious.
Because she knew that when Chu Wei asked her to enter the palace, he was definitely not talking about granting a marriage to her and Chu Lan.
Entering directly from the Suzaku Gate, Defu led him to the door of the royal study without stopping. Then he stopped, turned around and said, "Sir Xiao Zhang, Your Majesty has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Please stop."
"Thank you." Zhang Qingjiu glanced inside and nodded.
In the room, Chu Wei had a sad look on his face and was looking at a memorial in his hand. No one outside reported it, so he didn't even notice that Zhang Qingjiu came in.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Qingjiu called Chu Wei.
"You're here." Chu Wei seemed to have come back to his senses. When he saw it was Zhang Qingjiu, a trace of joy clearly flashed across his face, but there was also a different meaning in that joy.
"Well." Not ignoring Chu Wei's complicated expression, Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty summoned the minister, but what is the important matter?"
"Yes." Chu Wei sighed softly and waved his hand to call Zhang Qingjiu over, "There is a memorial here. It was urgently sent from Yongzhou 800 miles away. Please take a look."
"Yes." Zhang Qingjiu stepped forward to take it, glanced at it hastily, and frowned instantly, "Yongzhou flood?"
"Yes." Chu Wei sighed, "The rain started falling the night before yesterday, and it has been twenty hours today. This report was written yesterday. It records that more than a hundred houses have been damaged, and the farmland has suffered.
There were countless damages, and countless people lost their lives."
However, in just two days, the disaster caused by the flood has turned out to be so serious! Nearly ten hours have passed now, and the situation during this period is probably worse than before...
Zhang Qingjiu squinted his eyes, feeling that something was wrong with this matter.
"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with this matter?" Zhang Qingjiu asked, raising his head.
"This disaster happened suddenly, and the Yongzhou government office was not prepared. The court is already discussing the matter today. I will consider sending people to deal with the disaster and appease the people." Chu Wei sighed, "It's just that I summoned you today.
Come on, it’s not about this, but..."
"Your Majesty, it's okay to just say it." Zhang Qingjiu looked at Chu Wei intently. She had said that she would not make any inferences about him unless he requested it.
Chu Wei looked at those sincere eyes without a trace of fear, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart, "Someone in the court said that the Yongzhou incident was such a disaster, why didn't you deduce it?"
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Qingjiu couldn't help but suddenly realized that it was because of this...
wrong!
Suddenly, Zhang Qingjiu frowned fiercely. They were right. How could she not deduce such a serious flood in Yongzhou?
The flood occurred only within twelve hours after her deduction. Unless her deduction was wrong, how could she not deduce it?
But how could her deduction go wrong?
"Your Majesty, did this flood really start the night before yesterday?" Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes and stepped forward to pick up the memorial again.
The clear writing on it records the first time the rain fell: the third moment of the ugly hour.
"Yes." Seeing Zhang Qingjiu's solemn expression, Chu Wei was worried that she would be frightened by this incident. Although he felt complicated, he still comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't blame you, nor will the Qintian Prison gang.
No one noticed anything, so how can this matter be blamed on you? It is a natural disaster after all..."
"Your Majesty, this is not right." Zhang Qingjiu took a deep breath and suddenly raised his head with a determined expression.
"What's wrong?" Chu Wei was stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I have read the local chronicles of various places, and they mentioned the topography of Yongzhou. If I remember correctly, this land of Yongzhou should be surrounded by three mountains and one river. It is a rare blessed land.
, even if there is a flood, it can still pour down and reach the sea. It will certainly not be like this when the water reaches the city and does not flow away, but instead floods the farmland and crops." Zhang Qingjiu took a deep breath. She was told by Chu Feng in the past two days
Being detained in the mansion, there was nothing else to do, so I happened to read a lot of local chronicles and topographic records from various places in Dahui. When I thought about it, I felt even more surprised.
This is just what she and Chu Wei said. According to their derivation of the world, the terrain of Yongzhou is the blessing of the four elephants of green dragon, white tiger, red bird and Xuanwu. The people living there are definitely blessed by heaven and earth. How could this happen?
Suffered from this disaster?
And if she remembered correctly, this was also the reason why the previous dynasty set the capital in Yongzhou.
Hearing what Zhang Qingjiu said, Chu Wei was startled. He suddenly remembered that the reason why Yongzhou suddenly encountered such a disaster was not only because it was unprepared, but also because such a disaster had never happened in the past hundreds of years.
It has never happened before, so naturally I won’t be defensive.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask who is going to Yongzhou this time. Wei Chen is willing to go on his behalf. Wei Chen promises... to solve this dilemma!" Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes, whether it was his own deduction failure or this.
The terrain should not have been flooded like this, which proves that this is not a simple disaster.
If you want to find out the truth, the only way is to go take a look!
Hearing Zhang Qingjiu's invitation to Yongzhou, Chu Wei couldn't help but feel startled again. The corner of his mouth moved, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, "You don't know something. Everyone in the court today blames you for this matter.
The prince has...in front of all the ministers, asked me for an order to go to Yongzhou."
"He's going?" Zhang Qingjiu suddenly froze, blurting out almost without thinking, "No!"
"He is the prince of a country after all." Chu Wei sighed softly, his face a little sad. Why did he want his son to go? But he is the king, he is the prince, and he serves the country and the people.
There will always be some things you can't help yourself with.
Looking at Zhang Qingjiu's shocked face, Chu Wei sighed softly in his heart, and the reason why he asked for the order in public was to silence those who wanted to attack the man in front of him...
"Your Majesty, how can His Royal Highness let him go? Do you want him to die?" Seeing that Chu Wei seemed to be seriously considering the feasibility of this matter, Zhang Qingjiu took a breath, and his eyes were a bit cold.
Dog man, she asked him to ask for the imperial edict of marriage, not to ask for death!
"I..." Chu Wei frowned fiercely.
Zhang Qingjiu knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, if you are willing to go, you can set off!"
"you……"
"Your Majesty, think about what Wei Chen said just now. If not Wei Chen, no one can solve this matter." Zhang Qingjiu raised his head, the look in his eyes was solemn and decisive.
Her eyes had only one meaning. If Chu Wei didn't let him go, he would definitely go!
Seeing Zhang Qingjiu's determination, Chu Wei finally sighed and said, "That's all, leave this to you, but don't forget to come back safe and sound for me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Qingjiu took a deep breath, thanked him, turned around and left, so fast that Chu Wei didn't even have time to stop him.
Looking at the figure who was quickly leaving, Chu Wei touched a trace with his fingers. Today Chu Lan came to him specifically to seek the imperial edict, and an unprecedented complexity flashed in his eyes.
