Chapter 224: Li Tai's fall from the horse is finished, everyone don't wait)
Wei Ting smiled slightly and said to Li Tai in a low voice: "Your Highness, if the prince really sends you to go, you must not refuse. However, there may be some minor accidents on the way there, resulting in injuries and being unable to go. In short,
No matter what happens this time, you can't go."
After listening to Wei Ting's words, Li Tai couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face, and then said to Wei Ting: "Thank you sir for teaching me. I am grateful for your kindness, sir."
Not long after, all the civil and military officials and several princes came to the main hall.
Prince Li Chengqian said with a heavy face: "I have just received news that the water in the Dianshui, Zhejiang and Zhejiang rivers in the south of the city has surged and will burst its embankments. Once the embankments burst, countless people will be submerged, leaving countless people homeless and separated from their wives and children.
, let’s all discuss, how should we deal with it now?”
Changsun Wuji immediately stood up and said: "Your Highness, you should immediately send people to strengthen the river embankment! You must not let the river embankment burst! Once the embankment breaks, it will definitely cause a catastrophe!"
Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "I think the prince still needs to do the aftermath work after the embankment bursts. Prepare food for disaster relief, how to resettle the victims, how to avoid causing plague and other issues."
Then Du Ruhui and other senior ministers put forward their opinions one after another.
Based on the discussions of the officials, the first task now is to send people to strengthen the river embankment immediately, and the second is to prepare for the aftermath in case the embankment breaks.
Next, it depends on who the prince sends to strengthen the river embankment.
The Minister of Works will definitely go there. After all, the Ministry of Works is responsible for repairing and strengthening the river embankments.
But on top of the Minister of Industry, whether to send another person to take charge of the overall situation depends on the choice of the prince.
After pondering for a moment, the prince couldn't help but look at Li Tai and said to Li Tai: "Fourth brother, this matter involves the lives of tens of millions of people. It is difficult for others to take on such an important responsibility! The lonely king will leave this matter to you.
Come and take full responsibility! Without further ado, you can take people there now! I leave this matter to you, fourth brother!"
After saying that, Li Chengqian couldn't help but stand up and bowed deeply to Li Tai.
Li Tai hid the fierce murderous look in his eyes and quickly returned the gift. At the same time, he said sincerely: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? This is a matter that belongs to my brother, and it should be so! Your Highness, don't worry, if the dam is alive, the dam will be dead.
"
Hearing Li Tai's words, a sneer flashed across Li Chengqian's face.
What a loud tone, how dare you say such words.
This is your own death, and you can't blame others.
At that moment, Li Chengqian personally led people to send Li Tai and others out, and watched them go away before Li Chengqian left.
At this time, all civil and military officials were waiting for news in the six departments.
Even Li You and Li Min couldn't leave rashly after the news didn't come out.
As a result, not long after, a guard came to report that the king of Yue, Li Tai, had accidentally fallen from his horse and had his leg trampled by the horse. He was now unconscious.
Hearing the news, Li Chengqian almost spit out blood.
The civil and military officials as well as Li Min were all secretly frightened.
This King of Yue is really ruthless!
How could he be so cruel to himself?
Which one of you here is not a human being?
If it was said that this fall from the horse was an accident, they would not believe it to death.
What shocked them even more was that in order to avoid this mission, Li Tai even had his leg trampled by a horse. He was really cruel!
Well, okay, in fact, Li Tai didn't intend to play such a big game.
In Li Tai's design, it was enough for him to fall off his horse, get injured, and then pretend to be seriously injured.
But he never expected that when he fell off the horse, because of his inexperience, he tripped over the stirrup and fell under the horse's belly.
The next moment, a big horse's hoof stepped on his stomach.
If it were stepped on, the place would probably be broken out, and you could see clearly what he had eaten in the morning at a glance.
Li Tai evaded hastily, and finally escaped his stomach, but was stepped on firmly in the thigh, which was directly broken.
Then, he passed out decisively.
…
Li Chengqian's face was ashen and he ordered people to carry Li Tai down for treatment.
Next, Li Chengqian found Li Min, and continued to give Li Min a deep bow and said: "Sixth brother, I didn't expect Qing Que to be injured by a fall. I can only leave this matter to you!"
Li Min nodded and said calmly: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will do my best."
Li Min really didn't expect that Li Tai would be so cruel, and the matter would eventually fall on him.
In fact, there is another Li You above him.
But this guy is just a idiot, even worse than the original Li Min.
Li Chengqian did not dare to entrust him with such an important matter.
However, although the matter eventually fell on him, Li Min was not afraid.
Maybe he will be punished if he fails to reinforce the dam in the end, but it won't be too serious.
Anyway, his goal is not the position above.
Therefore, after receiving Li Chengqian's appointment, Li Min immediately rode to the river embankment.
At this time, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other senior ministers were all quite disappointed with Prince Li Chengqian.
At present, although the prince is well-behaved and respectful to them, he has no sense of responsibility, which is not the behavior of a human king.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said to Li Chengqian: "Prince, the matter of strengthening the dam is of great importance, and I have decided to go to the site to take charge."
After Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui all requested to go to the dam.
Instead of waiting here, it is better to go to the scene in person and give them advice.
After the three people, there were also direct line officials from the aristocratic families who also requested orders.
The purpose of these people is not to help, but simply to find fault.
They are going to the scene to find out the omissions of Li Min, the king of Liang, and then impeach him severely.
These people volunteered to go to the dam, and Li Chengqian had no reason not to agree.
Not long after, Li Min arrived at the site of embankment reinforcement.
Li Min discovered that a section of the river embankment on the south side of Chang'an City became narrow because the river channel reached here.
The river is rolling down, and the water level is rising continuously. It will not be long before the river bank is destroyed.
Unless the heavy rain will stop now, or the river water will be diverted.
Otherwise, I'm afraid their reinforcement speed will not be able to keep up with the rising speed of the river water.
Li Min rode his horse downstream in the rain, and soon discovered that after passing a narrow section of the river for more than ten miles, the river widened again.
In other words, currently only the river section of these dozen miles is the most dangerous.
But, what method can be used to protect this dozen-mile stretch of river?
