Outside the capital, a horse came galloping towards Xizhimen.

When the guards at Xizhimen saw the yellow flag on the back of the horse, they immediately opened the middle gate and screened away the people on both sides who were preparing to enter and exit the city gate.

"Urgent report from Hangzhou!!"

The man on the back shouted and rode into the city.

The defenders of the city did not dare to delay at all, and the city guards immediately went to the city and sounded gongs.

The sound of the gong spread far away. After hearing the sound of the gong, the inner city wall immediately sent the message to Chengtian Gate.

When the group of horses rode to Chengtianmen, there were already eunuchs waiting outside Chengtianmen.

The man got off his horse, carefully took out a memorial from the yellow box on his back, and handed it to the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time.

"Hangzhou Prefecture is flooded. Huge waves surged up from the West Lake for no reason. Hangzhou Prefecture has become a land of water. The floods are still not stopping. The floods have spread to surrounding prefectures and counties..."

The knight's face turned pale, and when he handed the wrinkled hand to the eunuch's hand, the lamp was already dry.

Eunuch Chanxun was also shocked when he heard this.

The prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Chengxuan Government Secretary were all responsible for the imperial court's grain and rice taxation.

If it is true as what the messenger in front of me said, then the weight of this memorial in his hand is not light.

Not caring about the life or death of the messenger in front of him, the eunuch who summoned him immediately conveyed his message, holding the memorial in both hands, and walked quickly towards Fengtian Palace.

In the Fengtian Hall at this moment, in addition to Jiang Yuyan who was sitting on the dragon chair, there were dozens of important officials in the court.

These courtiers were clearly divided into two camps at this moment, and they were fighting with their faces red.

One camp was headed by Zhang Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, while the other camp was headed by some new ministers newly promoted by the new emperor.

The reason why the two were fighting so hard was because the old imperial guards were abolished.

These newly promoted courtiers all advocated that the new dynasty should abolish the hereditary guard and frontier army system of the previous dynasty and use a recruitment system on the grounds of the change of dynasty and the corruption of the guard station.

The veterans, led by Zhang Wei and Yang Wanli, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, did not agree to abolish the hereditary system of guard posts.

Their reasons are also very good. After all, the establishment of the new dynasty was sudden. Although it is safe and sound at the moment, once it is abolished, it is likely to cause a mutiny.

But now the four barbarians are watching with eager eyes, staring at any flaw that will appear in the new dynasty. If the troops are abolished at this time, once the border guards mutiny, it will not be a joke.

"The Taizu of the previous dynasty established the foundation to reward the meritorious generals, and then promulgated the hereditary system of guard posts. But now, hundreds of years have passed since the Taizu of the previous dynasty to the present, and the soldiers of the guard posts have long been weak. If thunderous means are used,

How can the new dynasty frighten the barbarians?"

A civil servant who was almost 40 years old stood up and pointed at the chief minister of the cabinet opposite him, who was several levels higher than him.

"Let me ask you, how many soldiers are there in the army now?"

Yang Wanli sneered, looked at the newly promoted Supervisor Shi, and asked in a calm tone.

"About a million people..."

Before the Supervisor Shi could speak, the Minister of War on the side had already given the answer.

"A single move can affect the whole body. If they are abolished, these people will definitely gather in crowds to cause trouble. Millions of soldiers will mutiny. Someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of the situation. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Zhang Wei also stood up at this time and looked at the person opposite.

"I……"

“Hangzhou Prefecture’s urgent call!!”

Just when Supervisor Shi was about to refute, the side door of Fengtian Palace was pushed open, and the summons eunuch held the memorial in both hands and hurriedly came to the foot of the Kowloon steps.

Everyone stopped arguing and looked intently at the pale-faced interrogator.

Jiang Yuyan frowned slightly, and while Lianxing was turning sideways, he quickly walked down the Kowloon steps, took the memorial from the eunuch who had summoned him, and turned back to the side of the dragon chair.

Jiang Yuyan took the memorial and opened it casually.

After seeing clearly what was described above, even Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but change her expression.

Below, the cunning Zhang Wei and Yang Wanli looked at each other at the same time.

Although they did not dare to look up at you, every change in Jiang Yuyan's expression was visible in their eyes.

If they didn't even have this ability, they wouldn't be where they are today.

"Hangzhou..."

Jiang Yuyan closed the memorial and handed it to Lianxing who was standing aside.

Lian Xing understood it in his heart, and after receiving the memorial, he walked down the Kowloon steps again and handed the memorial to Zhang Wei, who was standing in front of the courtiers.

"Flood? Leifeng Tower collapsed?"

When he saw what was described in the memorial, Zhang Wei immediately felt ridiculous.

West Lake is not small, but the water contained in it cannot submerge the entire city of Hangzhou, right?

Moreover, the memorial also said that not only the city of Hangzhou was flooded, but also the surrounding state capitals were affected.

What's even more bizarre is that where the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed, the water seemed to be endless, and it was still gushing out...

Is this definitely a memorial? Not a drama submitted by the Hangzhou prefect?

The Leifeng Pagoda collapsed and the West Lake water came out...

Isn't that where the water comes from? There must be a white snake that has been cultivating for thousands of years?!

Zhang Wei didn't say much. After reading it, he silently handed the memorial to Supervisor Shi who was arguing with him just a moment ago.

"This, how is this possible?!"

Supervisor Shi was also shocked after reading the memorial.

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit incredible.

How could a lake of water cause such a huge waterlogging disaster?

The memorials were passed down one after another, and everyone who saw them was horrified.

Finally, Jiang Yuyan spoke and put the dismantling of the guard station on hold for the time being, and first dispatched imperial envoys to escort money and grain to Hangzhou Prefecture for disaster relief.

Then they sent Jin Yiwei to secretly find out the real cause of the flood in Hangzhou.

…

Tianxiahui, the first floor in the world.

Zhao Yu turned around and looked around. It seemed that everyone except him had dull expressions and ferocious faces.

What's going on?

Zhao Yu looked confused, and Emperor Shitian, who was capturing everyone with one hand, was also shocked and stunned.

I have practiced magical skills for thousands of years, but I can't capture Zhao Yu's soul!!

"drink!!"

Just when Zhao Yu was still confused, a sweet sound came into the pavilion.

Everyone who had been captured by Emperor Shitian instantly fell to the ground.

Fortunately, with this coo, their expressions gradually returned to normal.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Waves of breaking wind sounds passed by Zhao Yu's ears, and he went straight to Emperor Shitian who was sitting in his seat.

"I haven't been around for a hundred years. I never expected that there is already such a master in the Central Plains!"

Emperor Shitian flew his hands, exuding chilling energy one after another, and successively received those few wind-breaking sounds.

But when he took a closer look, he realized that the wind-breaking noise was just a few strands of a woman's black hair.

Everyone's eyes were dazzled, and then they looked closely, and there was a figure beside Zhao Yu whose appearance could not be clearly seen!
