The Long River 天下长河 Episode 25

Now Chen Huang and Jin Fu's honor and favor are unmatched by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. They all rely on their management of the Yellow River, and they have not made any mistakes in recent years. Therefore, Ethan's desire to bring down Jin Fu with this matter is purely beyond his control. Even Suo'etugui, who is the head of all officials and is a relative of the emperor, is also cautious in his words and deeds on weekdays.

But Suo'etu firmly believes that Jin Fu's favor will not last long, not to mention that he faces the mess of natural disasters and man-made disasters all day long, and sooner or later he will get angry, and persuades Ethan to wait for a good opportunity. After all the words, Ethan Amao suddenly realized, and complimented Suo'etu for his resourcefulness.

Just as Suo'etu was passing on his experience of increasing his knowledge, he suddenly heard that the imperial decree was coming, so he went out to greet him excitedly. Originally thought it was a reward from the decree of kindness, how did Kangxi accuse Suo'etu of lying and indiscriminately, depriving him of the position of a scholar in the Palace of Baohe. After the official who delivered the decree left, Suo'etu was an afterthought, and couldn't help feeling the depth of the emperor's scheme.

At this time, Kangxi accompanied the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to Wutai Mountain to pray for the people along the Yellow River. Unexpectedly, he encountered a heavy rain on the way, causing people to turn their backs. Although Kangxi led everyone to overcome many difficulties and arrived at the Wutai Mountain Temple, he watched the thunderstorm outside the door with a dignified expression. .

This year's autumn floods are approaching, and Kangxi does not have full confidence to tide over the difficulties. Although Gao Shiqi believes in Jin Fu and Chen Huang, he also dare not be rash. In fact, Chen Huang had already figured out a countermeasure, which was to blow up the old dam, give up the big ones and protect the small ones, and notify all the people in Taoyuan County to move.

However, blowing up the old dam meant allowing Taoyuan County to be flooded. As a native of Taoyuan County, Yu Zhenjia naturally refused to agree. Chen Huang patiently explained that the dam built by Wang Dengxuan was strong and hollow on the outside, and it was difficult to withstand the impact of the flood. If it survives this year's flood season, it will play a key role in the spring of next year. If the flood destroys the dam, it may harm the people of the three provinces.

But Zhenjia had a stubborn temper, and he didn't listen to advice at all, forcing Chen Huang to threaten to tell Jin Fu to give orders. Yu Zhenjia was completely unafraid of the authority of the government, and even led the people to strengthen the dams. In turn, he accused Chen Huang and others of failing to manage the river for five years, and that he had to discharge floods to Taoyuan County every flood season, which was completely unbearable for him.

After that, Yu Zhenjia led all the people in Taoyuan County to kneel outside the gate of Hedu Mansion to ask for orders. Jin Fu tried to persuade him to no avail, and then moved out the banner of Wang Ming. This thing was like a sacred order that could not be disobeyed. Yu Zhenjia went to the door in a daze to tell everyone the result.

With more and more rainfall, the water level in various places has gradually risen, and floods have been encountered one after another. Jin Fu sent someone to notify Chen Huang to evacuate the people and prepare to discharge the flood in Taoyuan County. But Yu Zhenjia did not choose to leave, and then took the male who voluntarily stayed to guard the river. It was almost dawn, and because of the delay in flood discharge, Huanglong finally attracted Huanglong to cross the border.

Seeing this, everyone scattered in panic, Chen Huang fainted in anger, and so did Jin Fu. It is also because of Yu Zhenjia's ignorance that the people of Taoyuan County and even the three surrounding provinces were completely affected. The flood swallowed tens of thousands of lives like a beast. Purgatory on earth.

Above the court, the chief eunuch read out the situation of the disaster-stricken area, and all the ministers present and even Kangxi wept when they heard it. Mingzhu came to Gao Shiqi that night, and lamented that Jin Fu and Chen Huang had neglected their duty to control the flood. There must be bloody storms tomorrow morning, but he and Suo'etu have been fighting for water transportation for many years. The two of them.

Therefore, Mingzhu told Gao Shiqi to cooperate well with her. Only by keeping Jin Fu and Chen Huang can they keep each other's wealth and lives, and even the emperor. On the other hand, Suo'etu convened his confidant ministers overnight to discuss the matter of condemning Jin Fu, and it was necessary to find suitable candidates to replace him and Chen Huang.
