After saying that, he took the imperial edict, stood up again, and looked at Eunuch Xu, "Eunuch Xu, I'm sorry, the flood is coming. I'm afraid I can't return to Beijing with you now.
And the floods are blocking the road, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to return for the time being!”
"What?
Flood is coming?
Will Jiangzhou be flooded?
What should we do then? Our family has to return to Beijing to recover!"
Eunuch Xu said anxiously.
Chu Xuanchen sneered, "There's nothing we can do about it. If Eunuch Xu doesn't mind, you can live with me in the magistrate's office.
When the flood subsides, I will follow you back to the capital."
Eunuch Xu looked at the anxious officials and sighed, "Well, that's all we can do now!"
"Your Majesty, the flood is coming. The situation is urgent now. What should we do?"
At this time, Su Cheng hurriedly walked over and said in panic to Chu Xuanchen.
At this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and there was an emergency, lightning and thunder, and strong winds.
Just hearing the rumble of thunder, the big raindrops fell instantly.
Suddenly, heavy rain poured down, and the wind was raging. The rain came so violently that it bent all the trees in the yard.
When everyone saw this, they were so frightened that they already ran into Chu Xuanchen's living room.
"Oops, Your Majesty, it's raining heavily now.
With this flood and this heavy rain, Jiangzhou City is in danger!"
Su Cheng said anxiously.
Other officials were also anxious, like ants on a hot pot.
Chu Xuanchen said calmly: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I sent people to dig the storage pond before. Now that the flood is coming and there is heavy rain, it is time to test the results.
With this pond, I believe that Jiangzhou City will not be flooded and everyone does not need to worry."
"No need to worry?
King Li, do you really think those ponds you dug can withstand this huge flood?
If the city of Jiangzhou is flooded because of you, and the people's homes are destroyed because of you, I will take action against you!"
At this moment, Zhang Shifan, who was wearing a military uniform and a straw hat, had already walked in with many officials.
These officials were all soaked in the rain. As soon as they walked in, they quickly wiped the water stains on their bodies.
Seeing Zhang Shifan leading the officials, Chu Xuanchen knew that Zhang Shifan must have heard the news about the flood and the imperial edict, so he came to trouble him.
He said coldly: "The results haven't come out yet, why is Mr. Zhang so anxious?"
"King Li, I have already made three accusations to the Emperor, accusing you of neglecting your duties and committing reckless acts.
In anger, the emperor has issued an order to summon you back to the capital to punish you.
Eunuch Xu has also brought an imperial edict. If you dare to speak harshly when you are about to die, I am afraid that the day you return to Beijing will be the day you die!"
Zhang Shifan waved his hand proudly.
Chen Xi also stood up and said sinisterly: "Yes! The emperor sent King Li to control the flood, but he made fun of the lives of the people and ignored them.
Now that the flood is coming, Jiangzhou City will be flooded soon, and all of us, the people of Jiangzhou, will be harmed by King Li!"
"That is, King Li did not build a dam to resist the flood. Instead, he believed in Princess Li's methods and wasted manpower and financial resources on digging a pond.
Now when the flood comes, everyone will be drowned by the water.
This Prince Li and his wife are simply a pair of harmful people, the sinners of our Jiangzhou! We, the entire people of Jiangzhou City, will not let them go!"
