The search team for Prince Chang's Mansion is still going on.

However, under Tan Mingyuan's instructions, the soldiers first focused on flood fighting and disaster relief, and provided rescue and rescue work for the affected villages along the road.

When Tan Mingyuan was arranging the rescue work, his original sad and decadent expression gradually subsided. Following Zuo Qian's report of the disaster situation, he devoted all his energy to the disaster situation in order to divert his attention.

It's as if the reality uses busy work as an escape.

In order to temporarily forget the fact that his wife and children were in distress, Tan Mingyuan devoted himself to this disaster relief operation almost without sleep.

Of course, after all, his main duty is to guard the Tianmen Pass. As the chief guard, it is dereliction of duty for him not to lead troops to guard the gate but to fight the flood and rescue.

Therefore, two days after he participated in the rescue, his younger brother Tan Mingqing fished him out of the disaster site.

At this point, he has been working non-stop for two days!

The exhaustion of energy and emotional anxiety made him look several years old.

When Tan Mingqing pulled it out, he almost couldn't recognize his brother.

His sister-in-law, niece, and nephew died, and he was actually extremely sad in his heart.

However, after seeing Tan Mingyuan's distraught appearance, it was obvious that he could no longer preside over the overall situation, but the Prince Chang's Mansion had to be guarded, so apart from Tan Mingyuan, he was the only one.

Tan Mingyuan went to rescue the disaster, so he could only deal with military affairs.

While dealing with military affairs, he also kept asking his subordinates to continue to follow up on Tan Wanjun and the others' course of action, to see if they could detect some new clues.

Not to mention, as the scope and intensity of the investigation increased, he really found some new clues!

"What?! What did you say? The bodies of Dawan people were found in the mountain torrents?!"

When Tan Mingyuan heard the news, he was furious, and his red eyes seemed to be devouring.

In fact, when he first heard about his wife's accident, he might not have thought of this reason.

Zuo Qian had asked the soldier who came to report the serious injury before, and what the soldier replied was that he found out that someone was ambushing him all the way, and it was the flash flood that caused the death.

And when they searched and found the bodies of the dead guards later, they also checked. Their deaths were basically caused by drowning or accidental impact, and there were no knife wounds or arrow wounds, so they didn't think too much about it.

After all, he was still under a major blow at that time. Even if it was really caused by an ambush, he would not send troops to determine who it was from the beginning, and would arrange search and rescue as soon as possible.

It is important to find the enemy, but it is more important to find your wife and children, isn't it?

Only when he was really sure that his wife and children could no longer come back, at that time, the squeezed anger and emotions would completely erupt, burning all the enemies involved.

It just so happened that at this time, Tan Mingyuan had gone through two days of search and rescue. As more and more bodies were found, his hope that his wife and children would survive became weaker and weaker.

But at this time, he suddenly learned that there was another opponent who caused the death of his wife and children, and his original emotions exploded instantly!

Looking at the crazy appearance of his brother in front of him, Tan Mingqing's heart felt like a knife was twisted.

Looking at his current state like a lunatic, his emotions are completely out of control, and he still has the calm and mountain-like posture before.

But even if he was his own younger brother, he couldn't truly empathize with the pain of losing his wife and losing his son.

What's more, he is also a stupid person, and he can't say anything to comfort him. All he can do is to do what he can for his brother when he is unable to make a correct judgment now.

Tan Mingqing shared the information collected during this period with his brother.

After venting his emotions, after Tan Mingyuan calmed down a little later, he finally regained some of the attitude he had when he was the head of the family.

It's just that as the conversation deepened, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, but this subsidence was not over. After subsidence, his eyes gradually became darker, and the chill in his black pupils was almost bone-piercing.

The original two-person conversation turned into a three-person conversation after Li Wei joined in later.

No one knew what the three of them talked about that night.

It was only the next day that Tan Mingyuan regained his previous posture and sat at Tianmen Pass again.

Li Wei continued to lead people to rescue and fight floods.

And Tan Mingqing, the Jianwei General of the Chu State, just disappeared into the palace so quietly, along with nearly 3,000 soldiers from the palace.

Although Tan Mingyuan did not go to the front line to rescue disasters, his deeds slowly spread.

Anyone who knew the inside story knew that Tan Mingyuan wanted to keep himself busy to get rid of anxiety, and wanted to try his luck again to see if he could find out the whereabouts of his wife and children.

But the common people and soldiers who didn't know the inside story saw the general of Prince Chang's Mansion. For this flood relief, he went to the front line and personally participated in the front-line rescue work, working day and night.

Under such performance, the entire Xichuan, and even the entire Chenghuai County, all sang the love of the people of Prince Chang's Mansion.

With the progress of the disaster relief work in Xichuan, the case of Princess Qingyun and Prince Chang's son being in distress was sent all the way to the court in Kyoto with the speed of the messenger.

"What?! What did you say?! Say it to me again!!!"

After the Emperor Chu heard the urgent report from Qianli, he was still sitting peacefully on the throne, but the next moment he stood up suddenly, and said to the messenger in an unbelievable tone.

The messenger was already kneeling on the ground, but now he was thrown to the ground by the roar of the Emperor Chu, trembling, wishing he could directly merge with the carpet in the palace.

Then he said tremblingly.

"Xixiliang urgent report, Princess Qingqingyun and Prince Chang's son encountered a mountain torrent in Xichuan on the way to Kyoto, and their whereabouts are unknown now"

At this moment, the messenger only felt that the edge was on his back.

When he received this informant, he kept talking in his heart.

But now, seeing Emperor Chu so furious, he was even more frightened out of his wits.

After confirming that he had heard correctly, Emperor Chu reached out and grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair with an extremely gloomy expression.

How could something go wrong?

How could something go wrong? ! !

This mountain torrent didn't happen sooner or later, but it happened when the people from Prince Chang's Mansion went to the capital!

Moreover, is it really a flash flood?

Xiliang, Dawan Wangting, Dongyi County.

Unlike Tan Mingyuan, who was a fan of the authorities, as a bystander, the Emperor Chu immediately connected the previous invasion of Dongyi County by Xiliang Dawan.

Recently, Xiliang Dawan is always ready to move, this time, will there be their handwriting?

But the reason is to start with the matter of keeping the year old.

The people of Chu State, and even some of the courtiers thought that it was a kindness for the Emperor Chu to ask the Chang Palace to send his sons and daughters to Beijing every year to watch the year with him.

But he and Prince Chang's House are very clear about it.

This is just a kind of check and balance and test of King Chang by Emperor Chu.

The so-called keeping the year old is just a pretext.

The real implication is that King Chang's sons and daughters are treated as protons.

There is no way, who made King Chang's achievements at that time really too great.

He almost single-handedly lifted Chu State from the abyss, and directly pushed him to the high seat.

In order to lower his prestige, Emperor Chu had to "impersonate" the credit of King Chang when publicizing to the outside world.

Put the achievements of repelling Liang Guo and Kang Guo on his head.

However, at that time, he was indeed a personal conquest by the imperial driver, and it was barely possible to say that it was his merit.

But the truth of the matter, many people actually know it, but dare not say it, and can't say it.

Perhaps it was also because of this that King Chang at that time had already understood that Emperor Chu at that time had begun to fear him.

Originally, the brothers who had worked hard together from humble beginnings, after one became the emperor and the other became a courtier, the relationship between them would always change.

But at that time, King Chang did not have any other thoughts, and he also understood the worries of Emperor Chu, so he did not enter Beijing, but directly stayed at the border, handed over his military power, and then sent all the soldiers and generals who had already formed Handed over to Emperor Chu.

Only in this way, with all the past friendship.

It was precisely because of King Chang's move that Chu State truly entered an era of peace.

Moreover, because the prestige of King Chang is too high, in the next ten years, the first generation of Chu emperors worked hard to rule, and implemented their own good policies. Under the rule, he did have means. Every year.

Ten years later, the overall national strength has already surpassed Liang Guo and Kang Guo. At that time, even if there was no King Chang, the Chu Emperor would have the confidence to resist the two countries.

But among the people, because of the publicity of the Emperor Chu, he exposed himself crazily, lowered a tax today, built a road tomorrow, and praised the Emperor Chu as a sage and wise king everywhere.

With this publicity, coupled with the fact that King Chang has kept a low profile in the follow-up, after more than ten years, the prestige of King Chang has finally dropped, and the phenomenon that people only know King Chang but not the Emperor of Chu no longer appears.

So far, the Emperor Chu has truly secured his throne.

Then, when he was about to abdicate to the crown prince, he secretly went to Xichuan alone to meet Tan Yuanchang.

The two monarchs and ministers haven't seen each other for more than ten years. One of them is already in his sixtieth year, but the other still looks like a middle-aged Confucian general.

The two talked at night by candlelight.

After Emperor Chu returned to Beijing again, at the first year of the second Emperor Chu's ascension to the throne, Tan Zicheng and the three of them, who were still young, Tan Mingyuan, went to the capital to meet the Supreme Emperor for the first time.

Then, under the tears of the emperor, he made an appointment to go to Kyoto every year to accompany the royal family to watch the new year.

This must have lasted for nearly a sixty years.

Until now, the Chu State ruled Zhengde for one hundred and twelve years.

After nearly a hundred years passed, except for some people who knew the inside story, no one else knew about Tan Yuanchang's deeds.

Even Tan Wanjun and the others don't know much about their great-grandfather.

This was decided by Tan Yuanchang.

In his instructions, he specifically told him not to tell too much about his deeds to the next generation, just treat him as an ordinary old man.

Tan Mingyuan understood this very well.

My grandfather just didn't want future generations to have any extra thoughts after knowing that there was such an invincible ancestor in the family.

He also had to sigh that his grandfather was truly unparalleled in his loyalty to Chu.

And only Tan Yuanchang himself knew that he actually didn't want future generations to cause wars because of this redundant ambition.

"I don't want to be named Marquis, but I hope Haibo will be peaceful"

For Tan Yuanchang, perhaps only this sentence can describe his psychology at that time.

Go back to the court.

Chu Zhi, the fourth Emperor of Chu, pondered for a long time.

During the period of his meditation, under the dragon chair, all the courtiers were silent.

"Where is the household servant?"

After contemplating for a long time, Emperor Chu sat back on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice.

"The minister is here!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

Two voices came out from the courtiers below, one after the other.

Then the two walked out of the court row, came to the front of the hall, bowed to Yugui, and knelt down to the Emperor Chu.

These are the left and right servants of the household department, Duan Qi, the left servant, and Huang Ping, the right servant.

Originally, the two of them were not qualified to go to court.

But because Liang Yi "asked for leave", the two of them were eligible for court council.

However, they are usually very transparent. The two of them know that others are soft-spoken, and they have always been reticent above the court, and they are at ease as scarecrows.

However, when they heard that the locust plague was raging in Chenghuai County and the mountain torrents broke out, the two of them felt a thump in their hearts and secretly cried out.

When it comes to locust plagues, mountain torrents, etc., the victims must be rescued.

This matter has always been led by the household department.

Before the drought was brought by the crown prince, wouldn't it be two people who have to deal with this matter now?

Duan Qi, the servant of the left, secretly raised his eyes to glance at the prince after he knelt down and bowed.

At this moment, Prince Longcheng was standing on the side, watching his nose, nose, nose, and heart, without the slightest intention to stand out.

Duan Qi was secretly anxious.

He knows the current situation of the household department best.

After Liang Yi offended a bunch of bosses, he slapped his ass and left, leaving them in the household department to be squeezed and oppressed by other departments every day.

Just before the prince sent someone to contact Duan Qi, Duan Qi followed without hesitation, stood next to the prince, and explained the situation of the household department.

But at this moment, after Emperor Chu called out the two, Duan Qi felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help but glance at the prince.

After being reminded by Fei Ping, the eunuch with palm prints next to him, Emperor Chu said in a deep voice after knowing the names of these two people.

"Duan Qing, Huang Qing, locusts and torrents are raging in Chenghuai County. You two must uphold Liang Sima's responsibilities. I order you to make disaster relief arrangements and submit the countermeasures within three days. You can Can you hear me clearly?"

Facing these two people, Emperor Chu did not discuss at all, and his tone was flat, but there was no doubt about it.

Duan Qi and Huang Ping secretly glanced at each other, both of them could see the bitterness on each other's face.

Duan Qi looked up at the prince again.

But the prince still stood there safely, and did not stand up like last time.

Come on~

Longcheng had noticed Duan Qi's sneaky glances at him early on.

It's just that he didn't make sense of it.

He has fully figured out the situation of the household department.

Now the household department is a minefield, how could he jump into it.

In the last drought, he had already achieved his goal, so this time he will not stand out again.

Sometimes, as a prince, you can't be too active.

After all, his father is still watching.

Anyway, the Ministry of Households has almost touched it now.

Long Cheng had made a decision long ago, this time, he would let Duan Qi and Huang Ping handle matters.

The two of them were not doing well, and the thunder exploded, and he couldn't reach him, but he could smoothly bring the entire household department into the East Palace.

If the two of them can do things well, it means that the two of them can be made, and they will be drawn together later.

As for now?

The two of them were not worth enough for him to act in the eyes of the Emperor Chu.

Seeing that the prince did not move at all, Duan Qi immediately understood the meaning of this.

They are all people in the workplace, and they can still be the left servant, so their minds are definitely bright enough.

He knew that he was not in the eyes of the prince yet, so how could the prince stand up for him.

Therefore, the two of them could only cheer up their tone in a slumped manner, and answered boldly.

"The humble minister leads the decree!"

"The minister leads the order!"

The two spoke in unison again, but the rhetoric of the sentence was different from each other. It can be seen that the two worked hard to unify the sentence, but the tacit understanding between the two did not appear in this court meeting.

Hearing the ups and downs of the voice, Chu Huang frowned, but still didn't say much, just waved his hand to let him go back.

Then, after Emperor Chu ordered the other five departments to cooperate with the household department to do related work, he hurriedly ended the court meeting and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
