With that, he took the imperial edict, stood up, and looked at Eunuch Xu. "Eunuch Xu, I'm sorry. The flood is coming. I'm afraid Wang can't return to the capital with you yet. Moreover, the flood is blocking the way. I'm afraid you can't return either! "
"What? The flood is coming? Will Jiangzhou be flooded? What should we do then? We still have to return to the capital to report! "Eunuch Xu said anxiously.
Chu Xuanchen sneered. "Then there's no other way. If Eunuch Xu doesn't mind, you can stay with Wang at the prefectural magistrate's office. When the flood subsides, Wang can return to the capital with you. "
Eunuch Xu looked at the anxious officials and could only sigh. "Alright then, that's all we can do now!"
"Your Highness, the flood is coming. The situation is urgent. What should we do?" At this moment, Su Cheng hurried over and asked Chu Xuanchen in a panic.
At this moment, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and a strong wind blew.
Only the rumbling of thunder could be heard, and bean-sized raindrops fell in an instant.
In an instant, heavy rain poured down, and the strong wind wreaked havoc. The rain was so fierce that it bent the trees in the courtyard.
When everyone saw this, they were so frightened that they ran into Chu Xuanchen's parlor.
"Oh no, Your Highness. It's raining heavily again. With the flood and the torrential rain, Jiang State Capital is in imminent danger! "Su Cheng said anxiously.
The other officials were also anxious. They were like ants on a hot pan.
Chu Xuanchen said calmly, "Everyone, don't be nervous. Wang had people dig reservoirs. Now that the flood is coming and the heavy rain is falling, it's time to test the results. With these reservoirs, Wang believes that Jiangzhou City will not be flooded. Everyone, there's no need to worry. "
"No need to worry? The Emperor of Li, do you really think that the reservoirs you dug can withstand this monstrous flood? If Jiangzhou City is flooded because of you, if the people's homes are destroyed because of you, I'll hold you accountable! " At this moment, Zhang Shifan, who was wearing a military uniform and a straw hat, walked in with many officials.
These officials were all drenched. As soon as they walked in, they quickly wiped the water off their bodies.
Seeing Zhang Shifan leading the officials in, Chu Xuanchen knew that Zhang Shifan must have heard the news of the flood and the imperial edict. That was why he came to cause trouble.
He said coldly, "The results haven't come out yet, Lord Zhang, why are you so anxious?"
"Prince Li, this official has already sent three memorials to the Emperor, accusing you of neglecting your duties and committing outrageous acts. In a fit of anger, the Emperor has already issued a decree to summon you back to the capital to punish you. Eunuch Xu has already brought an imperial edict. You still dare to be stubborn even when death is at hand. I'm afraid that the day you return to the capital will be the day you die! "Zhang Shifan proudly waved his hand.
Chen Xi also stepped forward and said sinisterly, "That's right! The Emperor of Li sent The Emperor of Li to control the flood, but he treated the lives of the people like child's play and ignored them. Now that the flood is here, Jiangzhou City will be flooded soon. The Emperor of Li has harmed the people of Jiangzhou! "
"That's right. The Emperor of Li didn't build a dam to resist the flood. Instead, he believed in The Princess of Li's idea and wasted his manpower and money to dig reservoirs. Now that the flood is here, everyone will drown. The Emperor of Li and his wife are a pair of evil spirits. They are the sinners of Jiangzhou! The people of Jiangzhou City won't let them off! "Some officials echoed.
