Chapter 280 Kill You (Part 1)

Wei Hongji left, and Li Wei sorted out his thoughts again.

It was my mother, but in fact, there were two more times before I appeared on the stage this time, which was not a big deal. The first time was the controversy caused by the deposed queen, my mother won a great victory. But at that time, my mother did not have much real power. I can only say that like Xu Jingzong and others, she was robbing her father. She didn't even learn to review memorials. She had the skills of power and strategy, at least she was much stronger than herself now, and her ability to handle government affairs was still insufficient. This restricted my mother's ambition or ambition.

At this stage, the mother consolidated the harem. Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu cannot be said to be mothers. They just obeyed their father's wishes and supported their mother as queens. Of course, they helped their mothers, and they still had to continue to support their mothers as queens in the court. Of course, with their mothers, they could continue to support them as queens. This was a relationship of mutual help. So for the second time, Shangguan Yi proposed to depose the queen. This time, his mother turned the world around again, and Xu Jingzong was more powerful. Then his father began to have a father's illness and slowly walked onto the stage, including letting his mother rule from behind the curtain. But his father was very concerned, like Wang Cainian, he built a Three Kingdoms. The longer the time, the more serious the concerns he had, the more the relatives were, and Xu Jingzong died, and his father even satisfies to watch the ministers deliberately suppress and oppose his mother.

Therefore, at this stage, my mother still did not take the stage, and she took a blister, dived into the water, continued to "lurk" and waited for the opportunity. It was not until she threatened her father's status and her father lost control of things because she was seriously ill and lost control of things, that my mother jumped up.

Maybe the ministers were still illusions, but Li Wei knew that his mother would not be willing to retreat this time.

I even thought about whether my mother was instructed by my father to Luoyang. I was in Luoyang, and Di Renjie and others were in Chang'an, and it was beyond the reach of me. I and several prime ministers were in Luoyang, but under my father's nose, it was hard to say that I was too close to me and the emperor was still alive. As the prime minister, I deliberately got too close to the prince, and I could be demoted. When I thought about this, my heart became even colder. I knew the direction I was going, but I fell into the valley and didn't know...

My mother's scheming and computing ability are even more frightening.

...

The second project of the two canals was completed. First, the newly opened river was opened. Wei Hongji submitted a memorial. On March 22, the Horizontal Dike was not open to navigation. It took a lot of effort to get these iron pillars out. In the memorial, Li Zhi only approved one word, accurate!

It is quite interesting. This is an unprecedented major project in the Tang Dynasty, and even the three dangers were not solved during the Sui Dynasty. Now it is slowly resolved, and a safe route will appear. If there is no accident, it will be the first major event this year. At least the emperor must come in person.

No.

Li Wei guessed privately that his father might not be able to hide his face and was so sick that he had to hand over his political affairs to his mother. How could he go to Sanmen? Or he saw that Sanmen was his own achievements and did not want to come to see him. So Li Wei did not go, and he had a little bit of a sense of power. If he didn't go, he was deliberately pitiful. After thinking about it, he would rather be pitiful than be powerful at this time and stimulate his father's already exhausted heart.

Wei Hongji had no choice but to order Horidi.

This irony is very strong. If it is too far away, what else can I say? The three gates are not very far away from Luoyang. Except for the officials involved, the emperor and the prince will not come, and even the other officials will not come. There are many people coming, many nearby people come to watch, and even the owner of the ship parked the boat on both sides and took a detour to watch. Even Luoyang has many people who heard it and ran over to see this feat.

Slowly use a twisting rod to rotate the iron column backwards. A twisting rod stands on the embankment and a twisting rod stands on the peninsula. It is very long and can operate it in total for more than a dozen people. In fact, it is equivalent to a large wrench. The dam next to it has not even been watered. The iron columns are lifted up, and the wire mesh is not dared to take it, so it is cut off directly. Gradually, moving to the middle. It has to seize the time. Since the beginning of spring, the river water has become larger and the hole is broken. If the embankment cannot be removed quickly, the river water can be washed away quickly.

Starting from the downstream first, it does not mean that the water in the downstream is small, but the river flows backwards. The water will slow down. The downstream borehole will be opened and the river water will flow backwards, causing the newly opened river to overflow the river. The water levels on the inside and outside are not much different, the pressure is low, and the risk is also small during the levee. The principle is not clear, but the basic principles can still be understood.

Slowly moving to the middle of the embankment, the river began to spread, and Wei Hongji ordered: "Retreat!"

Wei Hongji discussed this matter with Li Wei earlier, which was also a critical step. At the beginning, we should not be anxious. Let a small hole be leaked first. After all, this hole is not in the center of the river, and it is on the edge. The water spreads inside and outside, so that the dam cannot be taken away. Let the water level inside and outside level be leveled, and then the second operation is started. Some principles are also explained, but Wei Hongji did not understand it very well.

Seeing that the water level of the Xinkai River gradually increased, the people watching on both sides cheered. Then they ordered the civilians to re-dive the dam. In short, the dam downstream was still very smooth, but the time was very slow, not very long, and the total length of the dam was only a little over nine meters. However, this method of digging out the iron column was too backward, and the iron column was dense. After all, once the two sides were connected, there was pressure on the water level. Once the dam was washed down before the completion, the dam was washed away, and the fate of nearly a thousand civilians inside was dangerous. Therefore, it was slow to dig it for more than two days, and when they were still working on a torch at night, they opened the dam. However, the gravel and mud bags were still on the edge of the Xinkai River. There was no upstream river water and it would not be taken away for a while.

It was just now that we arrived at the upper reaches, and the edge was still smooth, without any pressure, and the danger was not high. After a day and one night, we moved to the middle and the danger appeared. It was not the downstream of the Danshui, but the water was smooth, nor the upper stream of the Danshui, but the water flow was still small. After the river passed the gantry, it began to be wide, and there were no three gates at this point. Because the mountain was bound, the water flow was still very fast. Half the embankment was like dancing. Wei Hongji ordered again to let the civilians stand on the embankment with ropes.

The bigger the hole, the higher the flow of water flowing in. The stone mud bags downstream had already rushed to somewhere. Finally, what Wei Hongji was worried about happened. The embankment was like a tight bowstring. Finally, because the force it was under was too high, it broke and broke into three pieces. The river water rolled down from the breaking point. Several civilians were washed into the water, and luckily tied the rope and rescued it. They suffered some injuries of varying degrees, but no one was killed. Then Wei Hongji sat there in a daze.

After one day, all the wire mesh was broken and the accumulation was washed away. The remaining iron columns were under a small force area, so they finally stopped. But the new problem came out. The iron columns had to be removed. The embankment had not been destroyed. They stood on the embankment. But when they were destroyed, the edge was better, and where was the stand in the middle? It was also a pity that the steel made by coke was not good steel, but the strength and toughness were better than the original pig iron. They were no longer under the force and rebounded a little. Otherwise, they could only sigh when pressed into the river. After thinking for a long time, they had to use the gentle slopes on the edge to re-hire the villagers, pick up mud bags, and shorten the distance. Then they sent the villagers with good water to tie the rope, swim over forcibly, and twist the threaded gates. They twisted it out bit by bit. It took several days before they slowly moved up one iron column after another.

The dam of Horizon started on March 22, and it was not until the first day of April that it was officially completed. However, after many twists and turns, it was finally completed.

Because of this delay, the newly opened River Hole Dike was early, but it fell behind, and the Danshui downstream project ended in the front. Of course, not all tidal flats and reefs are being removed, and it may not be completed in two years of struggle. The main ones are tidal flats and reefs on the waterway, and the edge areas, such as smooth or simple construction, and cleaning them at the same time.

These two projects can be said to have attracted worldwide attention. Since the start of construction last year, the people have been paying attention. It seems to be successful. Although dozens of people died, it is unlikely that such a large project will not die. The pensions are heavy, and there is no objection among the people. Now that it has been completed, the court is very neglected and ignored it. There are more discussions.

Under this pressure, a minister finally submitted a memorial and talked about this matter.

A belated imperial edict was issued, and the queen and the prince led all officials to Longmen, and sent ritual officials to formulate rituals and drink sacrifices to the river gods.

Wei Hongji had no choice but to drag it, leaving the iron pillars on the side without moving. He waited until the sixth day of April when Wu Zetian and Li Wei arrived. After the drinking ceremony, he ordered the civilians to continue to release the remaining iron pillars. He first put a boat down from the upstream, arrived at Xinkaihe and drove over in an instant, but the channel was staggered, and even if he stood on the Renmen Peninsula, he could see that the boat was four or five meters away from the Pizhu. This was also a safe distance.

The boatman on the boat was also very excited. This was the gates of hell. You can imagine how excited you can surround the boat. Long live the mountain. Even Dai Zhide and others smiled. There were too many ships that were sinking in this section of the river and too many people died.

But Wei Hongji stood beside Li Wei and said, "Your Highness, the water is still in a hurry."

Although it is wide, compared to the Yellow River, the five-meter distance is nothing. Moreover, the current Yellow River is not the Yellow River in later generations, and the water is very large. Opening in a straight line, the flow rate is fast, and more water from the human gate, and even the river water from the gods and ghosts and ghost gates is divided into part. It is only in early April, in June and July, the water is larger, and the water flow is faster than now.

Li Wei also whispered: "If you want to be able to slow down the water, even if the God and Ghost Peninsula River are opened, you are still powerless, and it is only alleviated. Once this river opens, it can only resolve the harm caused by some pillars."

That's all I can say, but it's better to drive it than not.

Wei Hongji sighed again: "I wonder how Dayu controlled the flood back then?"

It is said that Dayu divided the nine rivers of the Yellow River, and even managed the Yangtze River and Huai River. There are many legends of Dayu controlling the flood between Longmen and Sanmen. This is something that Li Wei did not believe, and it is possible to control the water. At that time, the people mainly operated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. They either released the three Miao in Huangshi in Wuhan far away, the Fangfeng family was in Taihu Lake, the Tushan family was in Huainan, the Yi family was in Dingzhou, Zhaozhou, Laiyi was in Shandong Peninsula, and the Youhu family was in Chang'an. It is possible to control the water, and even invented the theory that blocking is worse than diversion, which can be divided into the nine rivers of the Yellow River, and they are not very convinced. The water of the Jianghuai River is even less believed.

But I dare not be serious about this and smiled and said nothing.

Wei Hongji was still thinking about how useless the power of the three gates was, and there were all kinds of new things and new methods. Thinking about the records of Dayu's flood control in history books, I can only admire the earth. I was thinking that more ships were constantly coming from the upstream, reaching the Xinkai River one by one, and all rushed to the shore to thank him. Of course, this was definitely not thanking Wu Zetian, but the prince.

Pei Xingjian twisted his beard and looked at Wu Zetian's back, and smiled.

The queen did everything she did some time ago, and even he couldn't help but admire her. But this was a conspiracy and she couldn't even get to the table. And the two canals can be said to be a merit or a conspiracy.

Especially the Sanmen, even the Sui Dynasty could not solve the problem of life and death, and it was solved by the prince. Although he did some controversial things to raise funds, he did not change the treasury of the court's treasury and was successfully completed. This is a miracle in itself.

This is the beginning. Once all the projects in Sanmen are completed, the river water will become smoother and the accident rate will be smaller. The pressure on people to pull fibers may be reduced by half. Once the Danshui Canal is opened, Guanzhong has an additional retreat, which has decomposed the pressure for Jiangnan and the two accurate measures.

Not to mention the achievements of the prince before, it is just such achievements. No matter what the queen's plan, he dares to instigate the prince to depose the prince? Moreover, the emperor and the queen repeatedly suppress the prince without regard for the country, so the people can only sympathize with him. The public opinion is so large that it is an unstoppable force. Not only Pei Xingjian thinks this way, but some officials who are "extremely clever" at both ends are also in trouble.

Wu Chengsi also saw some clues from these cheers and whispered in Wu Zetian's ear: "The new river is built, and your highness is at its peak, just like the water of this big river, no one can stop it."
