Chapter 635 Ship Arrives
Changan, Daming Palace, heavy rain.
The strong wind blew across the tail of the roof, making a shrill roar, and the icy rainwater dripped down the eaves, forming a waterfall.
Since the death of Shan Chang, the torrential rain that has affected most of the Central Plains has lasted for seven days.
It seems that the ocean is turned upside down, upside down above the human world, and the heavy rain washes away farmland, floods roads, and blocks traffic.
Some people say that this rain is Haotian crying for the death of Lian Xuanxiao, the head of the Xuegong Mountain. ,
And some well-informed people will discuss in private, claiming that the torrential rain evolved from the chaotic wind—there was too much water vapor gushing from the Jiuyou Dark River, which was scattered by the chaotic wind and swept into the clouds, causing a sudden change in the sky.
No matter which statement is correct, the rain is finally decreasing. According to the estimation of the school, it will stop and dissipate in a few days.
This may be the biggest good news in recent times.
In the main hall, Emperor Yu and his ministers are still discussing politics.
Double disasters of such large-scale floods and heavy rains are rare in history. Fortunately, today is different. The construction of railways has greatly reduced the traffic pressure for disaster relief.
A steady stream of materials and manpower can be transported to the disaster area by train for emergency rescue and disaster relief. Even if the railway track section is hit by heavy rain and collapses, it can be repaired quickly with the supply of talismans regardless of the cost from the academy.
Relocate victims, guarantee supplies, build dams, and prevent plague.
Emperor Yu and his important ministers sorted out and decided the government orders. Every decision in this room will affect thousands of people thousands of miles away, so we must be cautious.
“.Let’s do this for the time being. With the guardian of the mountains and rivers, there is no need to worry about wars for the time being. All resources are given over to emergency rescue and disaster relief. Protect the people first.”
Emperor Yu rubbed the center of his brows, let out a long sigh, and brought the meeting to an end.
Squeak—
The door of the room opened, and the queen walked in with several maids, carrying a silver case, on which were many jade bowls filled with chicken soup.
"I asked the dining room to cook it for some time, be careful of being hot."
The queen shared the soup, and the ministers showed flattered expressions, and took the jade bowl—Zhongshu ordered Xue Ji not to use him, he is the queen's own brother, this chicken soup is their mother's recipe, and they drank it countless times since they were young .
Even the little historian in the corner who wrote notes on the emperor’s daily life was given a bowl, and took the chicken soup with great trepidation, with an extremely touched expression on his face.
Drinking chicken soup on a cold rainy night, the exhaustion subsided a lot. Looking at the lightning and thunder outside the window, Emperor Yu suddenly asked: "Recently, what is the public opinion in Chang'an City?"
This question is like throwing an ice cube into a happy room. All laughter suddenly ceased.
Pei Su put down the jade spoon, thought for a moment and said: "Most of the people miss the head of the mountain, and spontaneously set up a memorial tablet for the head of the mountain at home, and braved the heavy rain to build a temple to commemorate it."
Emperor Yu nodded, and asked again: "Most of them? That is to say, is there anyone you don't miss?"
This question is difficult to answer, so Pei Su had no choice but to pick up the jade spoon and watch his nose and heart with his eyes.
As the emperor, how could Li Shun have no means to gather public opinion in Chang'an. The reason for asking on this occasion is to hear these words from the mouths of the ministers.
Seeing that no one answered, Queen Xue fiddled with the spoon lightly, making a jingling sound.
Xue Ji had no choice but to put down the jade bowl, cupped his hands and said: "Some idle people gathered outside the gate of Haotian Temple and refused to disperse. Jing Zhaoyin was afraid that they would block the traffic, so he had already constructed the area in the name of construction. up."
"Idle people? I'm afraid they are Haotian believers?"
Emperor Yu's expression was indifferent, he knew Xue Ji didn't tell the whole story. Before his death, the head of the mountain trespassed into Taihao Mountain alone, not only cutting off a mountain peak, but also severely injured Haotian's head teacher, forcing the four cardinals to retreat, which made Taihao Mountain lose face.
In those kingdoms with the most pious faith in Haotian, such a move is simply extremely blasphemous and arrogant, even if Xuan Xiao's corpse is broken into thousands of pieces, it is not enough to repay.
As for the State of Yu, as we all know, most of the people in the State of Yu are very practical, and their belief in Haotian is not so lofty. A disease-free existence with abundant wealth.
Belief in Haotian is more of a habit in life. The Haotian bell that rings once in the morning and evening, and the Haotian bell that rings throughout the city every hour, have become an inseparable part of life.
Of the 400 million people in Yu State, there will always be some who believe in Haotian more, and even a small part, like the people in other countries, oppose the actions of the head of the mountain.
After all, Taihao Mountain has stood for thousands of years before the Academy, sheltering humans from the minions of demons, and leading humans through the darkest and darkest age. This point is irrefutable.
Needle drop can be heard in the hall, and this topic is too sharp, making it difficult for people to speak—strictly speaking, everyone in Yu State, including the ministers present and the emperor himself, is also a disciple of Haotian.
Emperor Yu glanced at the expressions on the faces of the important ministers, and drank the soup slowly.
Even in the hearts of these ministers, it is not entirely pure gratitude to the head of the mountain, right?
The head of the mountain created Taihao Mountain alone, seriously injured the head teacher, and left the mountain and river guardian amulet. It did buy Yu State a few years of respite, but it also cut off Yu State's retreat.
When the Guardian Talisman of Mountains and Rivers dissipates, Yu State will face not only Zhou State, Jing State, and Turkic State, but also Tai Haoshan who is in his prime and full of revenge will end in person.
The enemy is too powerful, even if you don't take action yourself, you can shake your own people's hearts and can't help but fantasize.
I imagined that if the head of the mountain hadn't made a move, would he be able to maintain peace with Taihao Mountain?
Fantasy if you surrender now, can you find a way out.
Fantasy that if you abandon the school, can you guarantee that your family will continue to enjoy the glory and wealth after the fall of Yu State?
"It's getting late. After drinking the soup, let's go home. Si Tianjian said that the rain will stop in three days, and then go to the funeral of the mountain chief."
Emperor Yu pointed out something, and put down the jade bowl.
All the ministers stood up one after another as if they had received an amnesty, saluted, and left the palace.
“.”
Looking at the deserted hall, Emperor Yu lay back in his chair tiredly, and let out a long sigh.
The queen signaled the people around her to back down with her eyes, including the living historian.
When only the husband and wife were left in the room, she approached quietly, stood behind her husband, stretched out her palm and rubbed his temples, and said gently: "Don't worry too much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
"The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridgehead. I'm afraid that some people will jump off the boat first, or even smash the boat!"
Emperor Yu closed his eyes and snorted coldly, his voice could not hide his sullenness.
The results of the investigation of the Zhaoming attack by the Academy and the Zhenfu Division have been released, and the content is shocking.
The prefect of a prefecture on the border between Yu State and Zhou State was actually able to instigate rebellion. Together with the local captain of the Fusi, he closed the local security formation to facilitate Zhaoming's infiltration.
Dozens of bureaucrats, large and small, were bribed or threatened in the water transportation of the Yellow River, and they turned a blind eye to the hundreds of ships that sank in the Yellow River system every year. credit.
And in various state capitals, leaflets of unknown origin have appeared, claiming that Lian Xuanxiao's provoking Taihao Mountain will bring disaster to Yu State, and let the people think about it, is it true that the school will go its own way and destroy the entire Yu State? The country was dragged into the water.
Seeing the irritability and anger on her husband's face, the queen paused, and said softly: "Wait for the news from the academy. After the funeral, Chen Jijiu, no, it should be Chen Shanzhang who will go to the back mountain of the academy to retreat .As long as he can break through the Abyss Realm, everything will be fine."
