"Wuyou, hum, I'm so pissed off!" The old emperor snorted, but his expression softened. The situation seemed critical, but in fact, once encircled, mere treachery would not be enough. [.\nCOM Situ Update

"Dushui Sikong Ling?"
As the old emperor recalled it, he gradually became impressed.
"Is it the Pan who was appointed by the previous Prime Minister?"
"Yes, he is a descendant of Pan Taidou."
Speaking of this person, although his official rank was not high, Zhao Bingzhong still respected him as a leader.
This man is truly a master of water conservancy.
Emperor Wei commented: "Pan was the first to create this method, which can serve as a teacher for hundreds of generations and benefit the Central Plains. He has done a great job and his descendants will benefit endlessly."
Not long after the founding of the Zheng Dynasty, the Yellow River burst. At that time, the imperial treasury was in short supply, which placed a heavy burden on the emperor and his chief ministers.
However, managing the Yellow River is not a trivial matter. It may harm the national system, so we must be cautious, and we must be cautious in selecting people.
At first, the river censor was sent. Although he was famous, he had no experience in river management, so nothing was accomplished in the end.
As a last resort, we searched for Pan's descendants and discovered water conservancy, and then we solved the problem.
"But I remember, wasn't Pan dismissed from office? Why did he come to the capital again?"
In the former Wei Dynasty, the Pan family was honored as an earl, but when they arrived in Dazheng, they naturally did not recognize him, and they were just ordinary people.
When the Yellow River was under control, it took a few years, but within a few years, he was dismissed from office.
The old emperor still remembered this.
"Your Majesty, in order to prevent flooding in the capital, the cabinet petitioned to use Pan to survey the capital's water affairs and build water for drinking... Have you forgotten?"
"Oh, that's what happened."
In fact, he had no memory, but the old emperor still pretended to remember it and felt a little uncomfortable.
I've been getting more and more forgetful lately, and every now and then I forget something.
"It rained heavily in the past few days and the water in the Yujin River rose. The commander of Du Shui Kong ordered his troops to clear the river and divert the water from the Yujin River... At the right time, Eunuch Hu requisitioned it on the spot."
"With this help, it's not difficult to hold on!"
"This is God's will!"
The old emperor suddenly realized, and his heart felt a little light. Sure enough, his destiny was his.
"Not bad, not bad, let him take credit."
"This Mr. Pan is still lucky. If nothing happens after tonight, what if I reward him with a third rank?"
"Well, is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, fire and water have no mercy."
"Pan's method of regulating the river was to narrow the river channel first, and then divert water from nearby rivers into the Yellow River. In this way, the Yellow River surges, the sediment is washed away, and it is not easy to sink to the bottom, so the river can dredge itself."
"Now the earth is being dug and the buildings are broken, originally to divert the rising water of the Jinhe River into the Sanjiang River."
"But with a slight change, water from the Three Rivers can be diverted into the palace city to flush out the bandit army!"
Flooded the bandit army?
Such a bold design is worthy of someone who is interested in water conservancy engineering.
But if we do this, the palace will be flooded... Should we do this?
The emperor fell silent.
Waves of fatigue interrupted his thinking, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
After a slight cough, he took a sip of tea and lay down again, with no color on his face.
"Drown it!"
"I'm sure."
Isn't it just that the palace was flooded?
In order to destroy the Shence Army, he was willing to pay such a high price, but now it doesn't matter.
"Earlier, you said that the troops should be silent. I still think it is correct. I don't know how much this traitor has colluded. Silence is indeed necessary!"
The emperor thought for a moment.
"But at this moment, some Lin'an guards defected, and with the help of the Shence Army, the fish became bigger. In this case, I have to build a bigger and stronger net!"
The emperor sneered. The Shence Army and the Monster Clan had always been a thorn in his side, but Empress Taizu was lurking.
Although King Qi disappointed the emperor, in the end, he caught a big fish.
"This is a good opportunity to clear the air!"
Otherwise, how could the emperor let the situation develop to this point?
"That's it!"
The emperor no longer hesitated, and Hu Huaian was not around, so he asked Zhao Bingzhong to write the decree.
After the edict was written and the ink had dried slightly, the emperor looked over it, looked at it briefly, and then covered it with the seal.
"Follow the festival order and get the military talisman."
"Assist Donghua Guard, Yulin Guard, Shenwu Guard, and Jianzhang Guard, with half of them each, and go immediately to encircle and suppress them."
"Urgently mobilize the capital's middle base, garrison cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, Hu cavalry, Shesheng, the Eighth School of Huben, and come quickly to King Qin!"
"When the order comes to send troops, there must be no mistakes!"
"Go and send it yourself."
"yes."
Zhao Bingzhong was secretly shocked. The emperor's decisiveness was unexpected, so he turned around and walked out.
There were already several rows of eunuchs waiting in the corridor, each one hanging its curtains in silence and breathing silently, obviously having many years of hard work behind them.
With a straight face, he personally issued orders and decrees.
"My slave obeys the order!"
A dozen eunuchs bowed in obeisance to receive the order, and immediately went out with the order to pick up the horses from the stables, accompanied by guards.
The palace door slowly opened, freeing up a spacious royal road. Under the night, groups of eunuchs came to the front, followed by several guards, and rushed out.
The torch illuminated their armor, which made a clanging sound as they passed through the street. The process was very quiet, no one poked their heads out to see, and in a blink of an eye, the people and horses disappeared at the end of the street.
However, there was a group of eunuchs who were going to build guards. The eunuchs drove to an alley and suddenly stopped. Looking in the direction of the palace, they saw plumes of smoke suddenly rising into the sky, and the faint sounds of killing and screaming.
Slightly hesitant.
His family was originally from Shu and fled to the capital. However, the capital was in trouble and four of his seven brothers starved to death. They became cruel and became eunuchs.
But it’s also difficult in the palace. If you make a slight mistake, you will be killed by a stick.
When he received fifty strokes, he thought he was going to die, but Zhao Bingzhong saw him and signaled for a light punishment, so he survived.
Later, I was cared for, promoted to the sixth rank, and my family was well-supported, but it took ten years to support a scholar, which was spent in a short time.
"Father-in-law, I will give this life to you!"
Remembering that his family had moved away, his last hesitation was wiped out. He gritted his teeth, but suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped around.
"Hey, father-in-law, you are on the wrong track!"
The guard following him suddenly became alert and shouted a warning.
"This is not the way to Jian Zhangwei..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone's cold command in the alley, which made the guard's heart sink to the freezing point.
"shoot!"
"Puff, rustle, rustle -" Following the order, a sound broke through the air in the night rain, and then screams were heard.
The eunuch took a deep breath and looked back. Among the four guards, three of them fell to the ground, dead.
But the guard who had just spoken seemed to be alert, and hid on the horse's back to dodge, only to be hit by one arrow. He only heard a muffled grunt, and squeezed the horse's belly with his legs.
The horse suddenly felt the force and ran wildly, trying to escape.
"Kill him quickly!"
The eunuch shouted in a high-pitched and trembling voice.
"Shoot!" The cold voice remained unmoved and continued the order.
"Puff, rustle, rustle -" The second round of shooting went away. The escaped guard, with seven or eight arrows in his body, fell down and landed on the ground. His eyes were wide open, with an unbelievable expression on his face.
He died with his eyes closed, and blood continued to flow out of his body.
"Don't blame me!" The eunuch gritted his teeth and turned his face away. At this time, people were snatched out of the alley. They looked like they were wearing guards' clothes. They didn't say anything. They quickly touched them and took all the guards' badges and tokens.
Take it off, wash it away from the rain, and hang it by your side.
