Due to the death of the prince, the emperor has not established a prince for a long time. As a result, two kings competed for the right to inherit the throne, various factions fought, and the court was in chaos. Every court meeting was regarded as a battle. It is impossible to say which day the high-ranking officials of the second and third grades will be killed.
Carelessness leads to bad luck.
The King of Qi was favored and very arrogant, so even the King of Shu had to be careful to avoid being disgusted by the emperor.
Even if the King of Qi colluded with monsters and caused floods many times, they were not serious. For example, this time, if there was really a big disaster, he should choose it in spring and summer when the water rises, but now he chooses it in autumn and winter, even if it is harmful, it will not hurt.
Dazheng’s vitality cannot move its foundation.
Not only would this prevent Da Zheng from going all out to attack him, but even if he got some evidence, it would not be enough to convict him.
Instead, the King of Shu may be charged with framing his brother. In the eyes of the emperor, this crime is probably much more serious than colluding with the demon clan.
How dare Luo Pei act rashly?
When Liu Chen heard this, he sneered, but was pulled by Zheng Yingci.
Liu Chen suppressed the evil fire, closed his eyes and sank slightly, then opened his eyes again and looked at the imperial envoy Luo Pei.
"As Master Yiluo said, how should we control the water? If the Shui Tribe helps King Qi, this flood problem cannot be controlled according to the previous methods. No matter how hard we try, it will be in vain if only one mischief is done."
For ordinary floods, human methods will naturally work, but when it comes to monsters, it is not so easy.
"So you are coming for me." Luo Pei looked tired and coughed: "This is a trap for me."
Luo Pei is a famous minister of water control. His abilities and connections are very important to the King of Shu, and he can be regarded as his right-hand man.
Now that the flood is serious, it is natural to use yourself. As long as you make mistakes in controlling the water, you will be dismissed from your official position and your power will be hit. There are not many people who support the King of Shu. Without yourself, the situation will get worse.
It's just that although King Qi is actually talented, he has a violent personality and the most important thing is that he has a low bottom line. He colludes with the demon clan and cannot be the master of the world!
Even if the situation is critical, you must step up.
"The current plan is to ask the real person to suppress the water demon, and I will control the river. A two-pronged approach may solve this crisis."
"Of course, I also know that the water demon is secretive and comes in and out of the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult for real people to capture them one by one."
"But there is an opportunity in front of me, and I have also heard that the Panlong Lake Dragon Palace seems to have been restarted. The Dragon Palace was granted a title by the previous dynasty, and it is in the king's lordship. It is not comparable to ordinary wild gods."
"Can the real person communicate with the Dragon Palace through the spirit, so that the Dragon Palace can control the water monsters and prevent them from running wild, so that I can control the water smoothly - I am unambiguous in all aspects of human affairs."
"The real person can also make a promise to the Dragon Palace. If it can be fulfilled, I will definitely strive to restore the title and incense."
"I went straight to Shuanghua Mansion just for Panlong Lake."
"This is the key to breaking the situation. I hope you can help me!"
The canonization of ghosts and gods is usually done by imperial decree, and the use of imperial titles is a generous act. To fight for a new god to obtain the imperial title, Luo Pei's energy is insufficient. However, since all dynasties are the same emperors, they generally recognize the canonization of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the previous dynasty had the imperial title, and now it is re-conferred.
, it’s not that difficult.
"The imperial court is really well-informed, and even knows a lot about Dragon Palace!" Luo Pei's words surprised Liu Chen and hesitated. When he came here this time, he actually came from Dragon Palace. Now the imperial envoy's thoughts are somewhat different from his own.
Going in the opposite direction.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds, and monsters should be eliminated.
It’s just that the dragon spirit has been repaid. Isn’t the real dragon a monster? How can it be comforted and given to the king?
But if you give up, many things may be disrupted. Thinking like this, Liu Chen considered and said: "You and I are temporarily staying in the magistrate's office now. Although Magistrate Huang is respectful, he is a member of the King of Qi.
I’m afraid I won’t cooperate with my actions.”
Luo Pei couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
This is indeed the case. If any ceremony is to be held at Panlong Lake, the prefect of Shuanghua County cannot be bypassed, and this prefect is a member of the King of Qi, so he will definitely not cooperate.
Just when he finished speaking, he was deep in thought. Suddenly, there was a continuous muffled drum sound, and there was a commotion outside the courtyard. Luo Pei frowned. At this time, an eighth-grade official rushed in and shouted: "Sir, there are people who beat drums and cry for injustice!
”
The two people watching the rain and talking under the eaves were startled.
Luo Pei was a little speechless: "What do you tell me about this? No see! Although I am an imperial envoy, my mission is to regulate the river, not to patrol. For such matters, I should go to the local official!"
After hearing this, the official was about to speak. Liu Chen was thoughtful and suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute!"
Then he said to Luo Pei: "Sir, you might as well meet me."
Luo Pei frowned slightly. Although he didn't want to, he couldn't deny it at this time and said, "Then hand over the paper."
Since someone beats the drum and screams for injustice, a writ of paper must be handed over.
He didn't want to refute Mr. Liu's face, so he always wanted to see who was suing him. If it was nothing trivial, it would be too late to dismiss him.
The official who reported the report immediately handed over the petition.
Luo Pei unfolded it and was stunned after reading only two lines: "Are you suing the local prefect?"
"Oh?"
Even Liu Chen was stunned at this time. Although he had just had a whim and thought he should take a look, he never thought that he would sue the local prefect.
Luo Pei and Liu Chen looked at each other, what a coincidence?
"I wonder if I can let the students take a look?" Zheng Yingci raised his eyes and said.
"Just take a look." Luo Pei waved his hand. Zheng Yingci took the paper in his hand and unfolded it. He immediately understood the reason for Luo Pei's surprise.
The person who sued the government was a maritime businessman. Many years ago, in order to seize Feng Shui, a family of three, including a pregnant woman, were burned alive.
This complaint was made plainly and without any ambiguity. If the truth were told, not only would the prefect be imprisoned, but he might even lose his life.
Just when we were worried that the prefect would not cooperate, someone sent such a "gift". How could it not make people feel that it was too coincidental?
But such a thing is obviously beneficial to oneself, and it would be a pity to let it go.
After returning the paper to the imperial envoy, Zheng Yingci took a few steps back and said nothing.
If you can see it yourself, you have already taken advantage of the family and the teacher, but you have no room to speak.
Luo Pei didn't even think about asking Zheng Yingci. He hesitated in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since you are complaining about your grievances, and the petition is delivered to the official's hand, how can you ignore it? Regardless of whether the accusation is false or not, if it involves the court official, you must ask clearly.
This is not only responsible to the people, but also to the court and the emperor."
These words are official and true, meaning that the case has been accepted.
Liu Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at the imperial envoy, and nodded: "Sir, whether this matter is true or not, it is a good thing, and the flood cannot be delayed."
This is exactly the truth!
Luo Pei nodded silently. No matter what worries he had in his heart, he could not let go of this matter. Even if it was fake, the prefect would have to suspend his duties pending investigation. In this case, he would not be able to control himself. p>
He was decisive and immediately ordered: "Let me change into my official uniform!"
At the same time, he ordered that the person suing be brought to court.
Looking at Luo Pei who had changed into his official uniform and ran away, Zheng Yingci said to Liu Chen: "Master, this is a strange thing. I think it's best not to get involved too much, so as not to get involved in the fight for the legitimate son."
Liu Chen looked straightforward in front of the imperial envoy just now, but now he smiled and nodded: "I feel relieved if you think so."
