Pei Sisheng, who got the will, started not to panic. Since His Majesty arranged it this way, it is natural that he has declared that this matter is not only innocent but also meritorious. , As for where to go, it is still unknown, which also made Pei Sisheng curious about where he would be transferred.
This time when he left the capital to go to Jinyang, Pei Sisheng did not hold his sword like before, but chose to walk slowly on horseback. Although he was in a good mood when he just left the gate of the capital, the weather was not good. The autumn wind was blowing, and the sky in the northwest was covered with dark clouds. , although it is far away from the capital where I am, I can still vaguely see lightning and thunder, and the dark clouds are getting closer and closer to me, obviously it is going to rain.
Pei Sisheng, who had no money left in his hand, suddenly felt a little miserable. At this time, even if he stayed in a hotel, he might have no choice. The official impeached himself, and he might not be able to eat it. Although he is known as the tumbler of the court, there are more than one people who hope that he will fall. After thinking about it, he couldn't even live in the county mansion of the Beijing Office set up by the imperial court to receive foreign officials. He came to Beijing without a reason, and there was no such arrangement in the Beijing Office.
"Heh, it's better not to cause trouble for these Beijing officials. You can do as much as you can today." Pei Sisheng smiled wryly at his current situation. He couldn't get the money out, so he blamed himself for leaving too hastily. If he had come all the way on horseback, he might have prepared some money for emergency, but it was already too late.
At this moment, in the northwest sky, a huge meteor that was as dazzling as the sun flashed across the sky, and then split into two halves in the sky. The smaller one fell straight towards Lingxi Town, and the other one went towards The west disappeared, Pei Sisheng was terrified, he didn't understand the meaning for a while, galloped his horse to the nearest post station, settled the horse under his crotch, borrowed an ordinary cloth from the post station messenger, and found a place where no one was there. The place where the sword was re-armed and rushed to Jinyang City.
Pei Sisheng didn't dare to fly too high because of the lightning and thunder all over the sky. The wind and rain all the way made him rush to the border of Cangzhou. Occasionally, there were a few thunderbolts hitting him on the road. Fortunately, he had a high level of cultivation. It's just that the clothes on his body were broken in several places, but luckily the court clothes were not damaged.
Walking on the road for a day and a night, he came along the trajectory of the meteor, followed the falling point of the meteor, and the dark cloud went against him to the east, and when he arrived at Lingxi Town, the rain in the sky had stopped, and he Taking advantage of the situation, I pulled up my figure to see what happened.
The Shanding River surged, and the flood flooded Changsheng Mountain. Hundreds of Taoists tried their best to control the water, but the effect was minimal. The flood flooded the road to Jinyang City, and swept towards Jinyang City. The towns of Shan'an and Fengyu intercepted it, and Lingxi Town survived, but the situation is not very optimistic. Standing in the sky, you can see that the tributaries of the Shanding River are also continuously converging towards Lingxi Town. The people below think They tried their best to chase and intercept them, but the effect was not bad.
"It seems that in order to control the water, someone in Lingxi Town died."
What Pei Sisheng said is correct. Someone in Lingxi Town did die, but it was not because of flood control. The person who died was named Li Zongye. The Chu family arranged a mourning hall for him the next day, and the entire Chu family wore mourning for him.
"Hey, how can this sudden flood allow the soldiers to survive." Pei Sisheng sighed with emotion, and then went to Changsheng Mountain with his sword. At this time, there was no one around the Changsheng Temple, so he could only go to where the Taoist priests were. I went to look for them by the Shanding River, and before I reached the Shanding River, a Taoist came from the sky. I saw him with frosty hair and a tired face. He said to Pei Sisheng in a loud voice: "This Taoist Friends, if you want to control the water, please do your best. If you have other things, please come back again. There was a loud noise on the snow mountain yesterday. Friends are interested, it is small to do something for us, but it is a big thing to do our part for the people at the foot of the mountain."
"Daoist, I came from the capital to Cangzhou yesterday. Before I arrived in Cangzhou, I saw two meteors, one big and one small, falling to the border of our Cangzhou. Do you know where these two meteors came from and why they came together?" Fall into my land of Cangzhou?" Pei Sisheng felt strange, but he also read some things written in the history books. Whenever there is a natural vision, either a great power is born, or someone leaves, but he just left the capital yesterday, and he also I have never heard of a minister who is seriously ill and will leave soon, so I will ask this question.
"Fellow daoists, yesterday my junior brother Zhang Qingyuan urgently issued a sect summoning order, asking me to return quickly. I also heard from my junior brother yesterday that an old star official from 15 years ago died in Lingxi Town at the foot of the mountain. The public speculates that there is probably no one other than Li Zongye, the Duke of the State who was demoted to Lingxi Town fifteen years ago. Li Zongye has done many moving things for the country and the people in his life. ??Natural phenomenon, heavy rain fell in Cangzhou yesterday, and now dark clouds are moving eastward, it is estimated that it will not be long before the news of the death of a generation of legendary Li Zongye will spread throughout the world. "
"Oh? Li Guogong is dead?" This news made Pei Sisheng feel unbelievable. Although he hadn't seen Li Zongye for more than ten years, in the past days, although he worked in Cangzhou in the northwest, every year when he went to Beijing to report his work I always go to visit Li Zongye once. Since he was exiled, I haven¡¯t seen him again because of the court¡¯s discussion. However, when I suddenly heard the news of Li Zongye¡¯s sudden death today, I can¡¯t help but suspect that Li Zongye is only older than myself How could he suddenly disappear when he was not a few years old?
Just now I saw a large area of ??people in white clothes and white cloth on the west side of Lingxi Town at the foot of the mountain. Could it be that it was done by those who mourned for Li Zongye? Thinking of this, Pei Sisheng, who was terrified and frightened, immediately went down the mountain and rushed towards the west of Lingxi Town. Standing at the gate of Chu's house, Pei Sisheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, "Is this the Chu family that Yinger wants to take away? It¡¯s too huge, and 15,000 soldiers and horses really isn¡¯t much, maybe I have to add some other things.¡±
However, this time he came to condolence Li Zongye, not to destroy the Chu family. When he entered the door, he looked at his attire. He was carrying a burden on his back. The time should be harmless, no one should know that I have left Jinyang City, and I am standing in Lingxi Town at this moment, maybe I can go in to mourn Li Zongye who has promoted me in the past.
Sure enough, the Chu family did not obstruct his reason for coming to express condolences. Pei Sisheng also walked smoothly to the courtyard in front of the mourning hall. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly looked up and saw Xiao Hong who was crying with pear blossoms and rain. , he knew Xiao Hong, and he could see the love between Li Zongye and Xiao Hong when he visited Li Zongye every year, but later he heard that Xiao Hong disappeared when Li Zongye was exiled, how could he suddenly appear here now? Pei Sisheng was terrified. In order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting acquaintances, Pei Sisheng just stood in the middle of the courtyard and bowed deeply to Li Zongye's coffin, then turned and left.
The road was muddy and flooded. Immediately, Pei Sisheng left Lingxi Town and continued to move forward with his sword. In a blink of an eye, he came to Shan'an and Fengyu Towns. These are two important military towns. Fengyu Town has several huge granaries. , responsible for the supply of grain and grass, Shan'an Town is on the west side of the mountain, and the arsenal is in the standing army. There is a Shanding River between the two towns, one behind the other. The Yellow River that was taken in also surged, and the water flow was turbulent. Fortunately, no floods occurred, but officials from the surrounding prefectures and counties followed suit to reinforce the Yellow River embankment.
The two towns of Shan'an and Fengyu were seriously affected by the disaster. Many houses collapsed and the people were displaced. The officials also temporarily set up tents on the high ground to calm the hearts of the people. To no avail, the main road has been washed away by the flood, and the bridges on both sides of the Shanding River have also been washed away. This made Pei Sisheng feel difficult, but at the same time he came up with a reason to deal with the Chu family.
Cangzhou is flooded, and the court of the household department must also worry about where the money will come from. If I can raid the Chu family with surprise troops and seize all the property of the Chu family, it will definitely be good news for the people of Cangzhou. Although the bridge has been washed away, But it still didn't hinder him from doing business, and then he flew to the northwest military camp and mobilized 30,000 new troops to fight the flood. In name, it was to fight the flood, but in fact it was to pave the way for him to mobilize troops to Lingxi Town.
After arranging all the matters, Pei Sisheng returned to his house, smiling, and sat on the stool wearily.
In five days, from Cangzhou to the capital, and from the capital back to Jinyang City, all the way was basically consuming his own vitality to fly, no matter how deep his cultivation base was, it was not enough for him to consume it like this, besides He is still only a heaven-level eternity, and he cannot absorb the good fortune of the world at will like a saint, and he still needs to practice hard.
The Cangzhou prefects are naturally responsible for the flood in Cangzhou. I am an officer myself, and it has been extraordinarily helpful to transfer soldiers and horses to them. What else do I need to say? When the flood control is over, just wait for him to lead his troops through to Lingxi Town. The whereabouts of the previous commander have also been found at this time. I believe that my Yinger has sent someone to invite him. There are military merits and various other merits that can be preempted. His Majesty asked the name of his own child, so it must be reused. The plan that has been planned for so long can be regarded as implemented. What is there to be dissatisfied with?
Thinking of this, Pei Sisheng fell asleep on the stool limply, snoring like thunder, and no one dared to bother him.
At the same time, dark clouds swept across the sky over the capital, with lightning and thunder, howling winds, and heavy rain for three consecutive days. When the rain cleared, the persistent dark clouds still piled up over the capital for more than a month.
