Chapter 197 Great Victory(2/2)
The reason why Kaifeng chose to be on the bank of the Bianshui River instead of the Yellow River is mainly for the drainage system. Compared with the Yellow River, Jinshui River, Caishui, Wuzhang River and Bianshui water levels are lower.
However, as the Yellow River bed becomes higher and higher, this is no longer useful. When the river flood is high, the water level of several large rivers will exceed the horizon in the city. If heavy rain falls in the city, severe flooding will occur in the capital.
Di Qing was also soaked in the water that time because of the flooding, and he had no choice but to take his family to a high place, but was exaggerated by the civil servants and kept it.
The autumn flood this year was even bigger. Because the water level was too high, the river water poured back into the city from the drainage and irrigation system, and water gushed out from the ground in the city.
Not only were the houses of ordinary people soaked in the water, but the palace was also soaked in the water. Ministers went to Chongzheng Hall to meet and there was water flowing. There was no way, Zhao Shu issued an edict to open the Xihua Gate to release water. After this, the terrain of the entire imperial city was high in the west and low in the east. Once the water was released, the water was surging and roaring towards the East Hall. The lowest part of the East Hall was the house of the attendant. In a flash, many guards, clerks and some livestock were drowned, including the war horses that Wang Ju had previously plotted against.
The entire imperial city was immediately in chaos.
Zhao Shu had no choice but to ask the ministers and generals to rebuild the house.
This is a tragedy that happened in the imperial city. The tragedy in the city is even greater. Just the people who know the name drowned 1,588 people! I don’t know how many people’s houses and property are turned into once.
Sima Guang submitted a memorial. Last year, there were floods in Jianghuai and other places. This year, it was better, and it flooded Bianliang City directly. Why? So, Your Majesty, you have to be filial. But he still didn't make any effort. Although the letters were long, his tone was very tactful.
Lu Dafang was not polite and said directly that rain was a disaster, and this was the slightest part of the yin and yang. The lord’s kindness was not established, the ministers were too powerful, the evil arguments were made to do justice, the private kindness was harmed by the public, the northwest conspiracy, the thieves were in voluntarily, the ministers were negligent, and the punishment was inequality.
It’s hard to say that Zhao Shu is not good, but there are undoubtedly two people who are “too powerful in the ministers”, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. Why are the thieves rampant? It is the result of the three Dings assassinating one and the large-scale assassination of the Xiang army.
Other ministers also wrote letters.
Zhao Shu did scare the heavy rain for the time being, and Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were also scared by the heavy rain.
The rain still keeps going.
Zhao Shu looked at the dark sky every day and had to sigh.
At this moment, a yellow gate hurried in and said loudly: "The Northwest Victory, Your Majesty, the Northwest Victory."
ps: I only wrote one chapter yesterday, and it seemed like there was a drill drilling in my mind, and my headache was split. I lay on the bed and thought about the plot, but it still hurt so much. Suddenly, I thought of the authors who died suddenly, and I was frightened.
This food is really not delicious.
But I am not a great god, so I have to win the hearts of readers through hard work and have to work hard.
Fortunately, my head doesn't hurt today.
