In later historical books, several far-reaching events occurred in the fifth year of Chu Xingzong's reign, that is, the fifth year of Yuan'an.
First, the then regent Xiao Yu proposed to abolish the nine-rank Zhongzheng system that had been used since the Yàn Dynasty, which involved a dispute over the re-evaluation of the aristocratic family.
The debate began within the aristocratic family and then extended to the nobles. From the end of June, there was endless debate in the court until mid-July.
And by late July, the second big thing happened.
There were sporadic records in the Tongzhou Prefecture Chronicles at that time: In June, the rain was drizzling, and the waters of Yongjiang, Qinhe and Lanyanghe surged.From June 12th to 15th, the Yongjiang River in Wanjin County rose by a total of eight feet and three inches, the Qin River in Gong County rose by three feet, and the Lanyang River rose by one 8 feet and five inches. At the same time, the bet was made, and the shape was overwhelming.
Yongjiang has always been dangerous during the flood season, and there have been several breaks in history, causing great disasters.
The court invested a lot of manpower and material resources to manage the river. Seeing the flood season this year coming in full swing, the river workers reported the matter, but no one from the superiors responded.
The county magistrate of the Wimbledon County under the middle reaches of the Yongjiang River will report to Tongzhou, which is also a sank to the sea.
By July, the water level of Yongjiang River was irresistible. It rained ten days in a row from July 13th. Several embankments in the territory of Wanjin County to Gong County collapsed. The county magistrates of several counties and the people worked day and night to repair the embankments, trying to block the flood, but the rain became more and more fierce. In addition, the embankments in the middle reaches of the Yongjiang River have been disrepaired. On July 25th, the Yongjiang River broke.
The flood instantly collapsed the embankment. Amid the deafening sound of rain, huge waves were surging and white waves were like mountains. Yongjiang swallowed the three counties of Shangpei, Bianyin and Muhuai under the flood peak in an unmatched roar, and continued to go south. Wherever he passed, there was a marina.
The news came back to Liang Jing, and the court was in an uproar.
It was the fifth day of Yongjiang's break. The governor of Tongzhou knew that the matter was decided to hide it. In panic, he sent someone to Beijing to report overnight. Due to the delay in the rain, everyone in the capital only found out.
Yao Ji could hardly stand, her hands holding the paperweight could not stop trembling, and her whole face was as pale as paper.
Yongjiang broke the severance... She could not understand how great the destructive power brought by natural disasters in such an era.
Yongjiang is the second largest river in the Great Chu territory. From the upper reaches, the coastal prefectures and counties are everywhere and densely populated. Because of its steep river channel, it is flooded every year, but most of it is the loss of some property, which is not worthy of the court's report. Now it has to rely on two hundred miles to send news in a hurry. She hardly could not imagine how serious the matter was.
It was not the court meeting at this time. When the two hundred miles of urgent report was handed over to the Political Affairs Hall, Zhang Jingan knew that the matter was very important and rushed to Tai Chi Palace without even hitting a single bend.
Xiao Yu stood on the lower head of the emperor's left, looked at Yao Ji with implicit concern, and said in a deep voice: What is the current disaster relief situation?Since the breaking of Yongjiang River is an irreversible fact, we can only do our best to make up for it later.
The memorial of the magistrate of Tongzhou was clearly written. At that time, everyone agreed to disaster relief matters and ordered the prefectures and counties in the affected areas to open warehouses for relief, and sent Jingyuan army to maintain order. They were busy until late that day. Yao Ji saw that several older court officials could not hold on anymore, so she said: Everyone should rest for a while. Duan Hongyuan sent someone to help her husband back to the duty room.But Xiao Yu was kept by her. Something was wrong. Her face was calm and Yongjiang broke his mouth. Why did the court never hear any clues about such a big thing?
You should know that the heavy rain has been falling for many days. If there are signs of a break in Yongjiang, the officials below must report it.
When Ningzong was in power, there was a year when the rains were even heavier than it is now. Because the court was relieved in time, no major disaster was caused.
Xiao Yu's eyes flashed a few times and he said in a deep voice: I think... it was someone from the lower level who deceived his superiors and concealed his subordinates.I just don't know which level it is.
As he expected, the court sent an envoy to Tongzhou to investigate. The results found that Yao Ji was furious and she was about to overturn the table on the spot.
This driver should kill the borer!She really didn't expect that the officials in Tongzhou were so bold that they had obviously had floods before, but they ignored them. If the magistrate of Tongzhou was still rescuing the disaster, Yao Ji would now want to take her lock into Beijing to question the crime.
It is rare for the emperor to get such a big temper. Everyone is silent and even Jiang Yong has no intention of sing a counter-topic tune.
The previous losses have been counted, and all the three most severely affected counties and counties were damaged. The people's houses and fields were destroyed, and more than 200 people were killed in the flood.
Yao Ji was both angry and angry, and she didn't even have a good dinner. After looking through the resumes of officials from all over the city of Tongzhou, she summoned Xiao Yu to the palace overnight: Uncle Qi, nothing is ignored.
The governor of Tongzhou has been an official for many years. Although his political achievements are not outstanding, he is a person with a sense of caution, so how could he not know the difficulties of the Yongjiang River and not take this matter to heart?
The envoy who went to investigate reported that the magistrate of Wanjin County had already reported the situation in Yongjiang to the city, but the magistrate of Tongzhou turned a deaf ear to him. He did not seem to be someone who would do such a thing unless...
There was another person, or another force, intervening, which forced him to suppress the report from the county magistrate of Wanjin County.
It was difficult to manage rivers. In addition to setting up a special water supervision in the central government, the imperial court also ordered the chiefs of various prefectures and counties to manage river management during the flood season. It also established a special water management agency for the Yongjiang River, which flooded every year, namely the Yongjiang Water Supervision Bureau, which was stationed in Tongzhou. The Yongjiang Water Supervision Bureau Chief, was born in the Qiu family of Heyang and was the son of the head of the Qiu family.
Qiu Ping was in charge of Yongjiang Du Water Supervision for five years. It was like this heavy rain five years ago, but Yongjiang had not broken. Why did the embankments in Yongjiang reach such a fragile level five years later?
There is only one reason, that is, river engineering deterioration.
The funds allocated by the court to maintain the embankment were encroached, and the river workers were falsified everywhere. The embankment was disrepaired for a long time, and even repairs were just a gesture. When heavy rain came, how could it block the unstoppable flood peak?
Therefore, after the flood is about to occur, the governor of Tongzhou either dares or cannot report the truth.Otherwise, once the court sends people to investigate, the deterioration of Yongjiang River craftsmanship will be exposed.
Xiao Yu was silent for a moment before saying lightly: Since you already know, why ask me?
The envoy did not mention a word about the Yongjiangdu Water Supervision in the report, and he was probably afraid of the Qiu family's power.
That's right.Xiao Yu answered frankly.
His performance made Yao Ji feel even colder: So, what afterwards?Forget it like this, let the culprit go gently. She saw Xiao Yu's attitude. With Xiao Yu's ability, how could he not detect this good show of bullying his superiors and concealing his subordinates? Although the magistrate of Tongzhou was extremely guilty, he was also a scapegoat, and the most hateful person was still at ease!
Qiu Xingguo has agreed to implement the test strategy. Xiao Yu's voice is extremely dull. The power of the Qiu family in the aristocratic family can be comparable to that of the Zhang family. Once the Qiu family lets go, more than half of the people in the aristocratic family can be toughly opposed.
Yao Ji didn't say anything, just looked at him.He seemed to be stinged by the gaze, lowering his eyes indefinitely, but his tone did not pause at all: Qiu Ping is Qiu Xingguo's only son.
Suddenly, Yao Ji remembered what the person in front of her once said: For the king, you must be kind, self-disciplined and diligent. You have done all these well, but the most important thing is that you cannot do them.
She retreated step by step, not knowing what to do, but subconsciously wanted to escape, escape from the coldness that was about to suffocate her.
It was her turn, and finally one day, this dirty choice was on her head.
But Xiao Yu was as calm as if he was talking about the most ordinary gossip in the world, as if the two hundred innocent lives were not sacrificed behind him.
I know you can't do it, he said firmly and indifferently, "I'll do it for you."
First, the then regent Xiao Yu proposed to abolish the nine-rank Zhongzheng system that had been used since the Yàn Dynasty, which involved a dispute over the re-evaluation of the aristocratic family.
