At this time, on both sides of the river, the huge amount of rainwater brought by heavy rains continued to accumulate, causing serious waterlogging.

Qin Qiong went up to the embankment and moved sandbags by herself.

Li Jing also personally commanded on the Yellow River embankment in Puzhou.

hold fast,

There must be no major breach of the embankment.

As long as we can still hold on, even if it overflows both sides of the bank now, and heavy rains and internal waterlogging will flood many states, counties and villages, only some areas will be seriously affected.

But once the embankment breaks, whether it is diverted to Hebei or diverted to the southeast,

This will increase the disaster situation tenfold, and even turn Hebei or Henan and Huainan into a tragic yellow flood zone.

We must continue to restrain the rolling water of the Yellow River and continue to rush along the Yellow River into the Bohai Bay.

Luoyang,

The simply restored Luoyang Palace,

Li Shimin looked at the rain curtain outside, his face pale. He turned around and knelt down in front of the statue of Supreme Laojun in the Laojun Hall in Luoyang Palace.

Pray to the ancestor of the Li family.

I hope the heavy rain will stop,

I hope the Yellow River embankment can be maintained,

The emperor knelt down and prayed in Laojun Hall for a whole day and night.

The fifth day of August,

The rain in Luoyang finally stopped,

The long-lost sun appears in the sky,

"Saint, the rain has stopped!"

Zhang Ananda, the chamberlain's eunuch, walked into Laojun's palace and announced the good news to the emperor who had knelt down and prayed all night.

Li Shimin raised his head,

His eyes were red, his lips were chapped and peeled, and he looked very haggard.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep in several days.

"Has the Yellow River embankment been defended?"

"There is no news of dike breaching and diversion,"

If there is no bad news, then it is good news. Although the news may be delayed, heavy rains and floods may delay the news.

But Li Shimin still had the best hopes in his heart.

Zhang Ananda helped the emperor who was numb in his legs,

Pass along the breakfast quickly.

The emperor only wanted a bowl of millet porridge. At this time, countless people in the thirteen states were affected by the disaster. How could he have the appetite to eat those exquisite breakfasts?

Li Shimin has been waiting for news this day, and he is very anxious.

until night,

News was sent to Luoyang one after another,

Yang Gongren from Weizhou in Hebei, Zhang Liang from Xiangzhou, and Cheng Yaojin from Youzhou patrolled the north bank of the Yellow River and sent back urgent reports. The rain stopped, the flood peak passed, and the embankment was saved.

Then Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others also came with good news from the south bank of the Yellow River.

The levee was saved. Although overflowing and waterlogging also affected dozens of counties, fortunately, the imperial court gave early warning and made preparations. Most of the people evacuated and resettled in advance, and the food was transferred early. So it was a blessing in misfortune.

This flood was severe, but not many people died and the losses were acceptable.

"Call Li Chunfeng. I want to know whether there will be heavy rain, whether there will be floods, and whether the Yellow River embankment is still in danger!"

Li Chunfeng came and told the emperor that there would be rain again, but there would not be such heavy rainstorms.

Hearing this, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay.
Chapter completed!
