After Zhang Shifan led the officials out of Chu Xuanchen's courtyard, they arrived under the eaves and said to the crowd, "My lords, this official just heard that The Emperor of Li doesn't care about the lives of the common people at all. The flood is already here, but not only did he not help this official save the people, he even accompanied The Princess of Li to rest in her room. This is simply indifference to life and treating the common people as nothing. He is so muddle-headed, this official really can't go on! "
Chen Xi also said angrily, "This The Emperor of Li treats the common people like grass and treats life as ants. How can he be as eager to love the common people as Lord Zhang? The Emperor of Li is not worthy of leading everyone in disaster relief. Rest assured, my lord, we all support you. "
Zhang Shifan said, "Everyone, The Emperor of Li is neglecting his duties. This official has already sent someone to draft a memorial. This official wants to unite everyone. Let's jointly sign a memorial to impeach The Emperor of Li for his crimes in Jiang Province and ask the Emperor to severely punish The Emperor of Li. What does everyone think? "
"Okay, this official is willing to be the first to sign." Chen Xi quickly expressed his loyalty.
"This official is also willing."
The other officials echoed. They were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to jointly impeach The Emperor of Li.
Su Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and hid in the back without saying anything. He felt that this matter was strange. He felt that Chu Xuanchen wasn't as stupid as Zhang Shifan made him out to be.
He was a wise, decisive, and strategist. He clearly knew that he couldn't slack off at this time, but he still dared to do so.
He wasn't panicking at this time. Perhaps there was a deeper meaning.
Therefore, it was better for him to slow down on the matter of signing.
As for Jiang Ning, Yu Wenxian, Yang Shixun, and a few other officials, they didn't sign for the time being. They also felt that The Emperor of Li's actions were a bit strange.
He looked like a person who loved the common people, but he did the opposite tonight. They shouldn't be anxious. They should wait and see first and then decide tomorrow.

Then, Zhang Shifan led the officials to mobilize the troops and instruct the soldiers to move the common people in the city.
He braved the torrential rain and waded through the water, instructing the soldiers to move the common people living in the low-lying areas to higher places.
The common people were originally sleeping, but they were woken up by the soldiers one by one.
Just as they were dissatisfied that their good dreams were disturbed, they heard the soldiers say, "Everyone, quickly wake up! The flood is coming, the eastern part of the city is about to be flooded. His Highness The Emperor of Li doesn't care about you and didn't remind everyone to move. The governor is concerned about everyone, so he personally sent troops to inform everyone. Hurry up and pack your things. We will bring you to a safe place! "
"What? The flood is coming? The Emperor didn't tell us? What kind of an imperial Imperial Minister? He of the people's lives lives! lives lives lives lives lives lives' lives?
His! His, the people of '''s's''s is is' ''s's people' ''s's people's lives. is the only's not only only.... He of't's not only Only our Governor was not afraid of the hardships and came to save everyone in the rain.
When the common people heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation and their faces were filled with anger.
"The Emperor of Li is simply lawless. He doesn't care about us. He's treating human lives like grass."
"He even asked people to dig ponds. He's been occupying the farmland all day long. Maybe he's doing this to take over the farmland for his own selfish desires. He's using his power for personal gain. We've all been tricked by him! "
"The flood is coming. The Emperor of Li doesn't care about us. Only the Governor is. The Governor is really our Lord. Let's quickly pack up and follow the soldiers to take refuge! "
