Chapter 252 Huainan General Chaos
After everyone left, Li Ke returned to his inner study. Li Ke ordered Dan'er to grind ink and lay paper, and wrote to Beijing to explain the situation in Huainan, while thinking about how to deal with the danger of the Huai River bursting its embankment.

"Your Highness, although Yuan Chengfan has worked as a water cao in Yangzhou Governor's Mansion for many years, but after all, he is a lowly official and his position is unknown. Whether his words will be realized or not is unknown. If Your Highness rashly follows his words, it may not be appropriate to rule the river according to his laws." Wang Xuance Looking at Li Ke who was writing quickly.Said to Li Ke.

Li Ke was naturally aware of Wang Xuance's worries.

The pan of the Huaihe River is not within Li Ke's authority, but belongs to the local states and counties. It is reasonable for Li Ke not to intervene in this matter.

If Li Ke doesn't ask about this matter, even if the local states and counties mishandled the matter, he has nothing to do with it, and Li Ke's affairs cannot be hindered, but if Li Ke intervenes rashly, then with his official title, it is the matter It's okay if it succeeds as a leader, but if it doesn't, Li Ke is the first to be held accountable and will inevitably be held accountable.

From Wang Xuance's point of view, Li Kezhi's actions were probably a little thankless.

Wang Xuance learned the way of vertical and horizontal, but in everything he does, the first consideration must be the relationship between the parties. If the matter of water control is successful, these credits will not help Li Ke, but if it fails, then he will inevitably be punished by the court. Those adversaries impeach.

Li Ke finished writing the letter at hand, put down his pen, and said to Wang Xuance: "What you said, sir, has some truths, but not all of them. This king did not follow what Yuan Chengfan said, but what Master Cen said."

Hearing Li Ke's words, Wang Xuance obviously surprised him for a moment, and then asked, "Jingren (Cen Wenwen's name) is far away in Chang'an, what does this matter have to do with him?"

Li Ke said: "Sir, do you still remember the saying that the white rainbow penetrates the sun in the first month of this year?"

After listening to Li Ke's words, Wang Xuance understood, Wang Xuance said: "The white rainbow pierces the sun, and the disaster lies in the southeast. Is this what His Highness is talking about?"

Li Ke nodded and said: "I don't know if this is the case, but people's mouths can make money, and the accumulation of bones will be destroyed. This matter must not be careless."

Li Ke hastily intervened in water control, although it was beyond his duty and somewhat inappropriate, but Li Ke had no choice.

The matter of water control seems to have nothing to do with Li Ke, but in fact, everyone in Huainan can avoid it, but Li Ke cannot avoid it, or Li Ke's ambition does not allow him to avoid it.

This Huainan is not someone else's Huainan, but his Li family's Huainan. The people are not other people's people, but his Li family's people. If others get back, how can he get back.

If he retreated, if he ignored this matter, ignored the life and death of the people, and spread it to Li Shimin's ears, how would Li Shimin think of him?

Li Ke asked himself to be a hostage. He had endured four years of bitter cold in the north to gain his reputation today. How dare he neglect it.

Accumulated hope is like a pile of rocks, and it is not easy to pile up, but if you want to destroy it, you only need to push it lightly, and it will fall like a mountain.

Li Ke can be a romantic young man who spends a lot of money, a prodigal son who lingers in brothels, or even a ruined prince who sells all the property in the mansion, but he can't be a prince of inaction who doesn't care about the lives of the people. If so, Li Ke Even if he is completely out of touch with the throne.

As soon as Li Kezhi's words came out, Wang Xuance understood Li Ke's meaning, Wang Xuance said, "Your Highness is worried about His Majesty's opinion?"

"Not bad." Li Ke nodded and replied.

The future ownership of the Tang Dynasty depends to a great extent on Li Shimin's attitude.

Whoever Li Shimin wants to ascend the throne may not be able to ascend the throne of God, but if Li Shimin does not want anyone to ascend the throne, then he must not be able to ascend the throne of God.

Seeing this, Wang Xuance asked, "Your Highness has plans?"

Li Ke said: "The white rainbow pierces the sun, and the Huaihe River is flooded. This matter is both a crisis and an opportunity for this king. The gang of princelings used the vision from the sky to force this king to leave Beijing and go to the southeast of the town. Floods and floods, I became the one who obeyed the destiny, and won the hearts of the southeast."

----------

After days of heavy rain, the Huai River surged, and the news that there might be a danger of bursting the embankment reached Li Ke. At the same time, Xiao Yuexian, who lived in the back hall of the Linjiang Palace, also got the news.

"My lady, there is news from outside the palace that the Jianghuai River is raining continuously and the Huaihe River is soaring. If this continues for five days, the Huaihe River is in danger of bursting." Li Ke had just sent away the officials of Yangzhou in the main hall, and Wen Qing'er He returned to Linjiang Palace with the news, and reported to Xiao Yuexian.

The Huai River is in dire straits, Xiao Yuexian can see the clues from Wang Xuance's actions, and now that Wen Qing'er has brought back the news outside the palace, Xiao Yuexian is even more certain in her heart.

"The Huai River is an important waterway in the world, and it is one of the 'four desolations'. If the Huai River breaks its embankment, it will surely spread the disaster to the entire Jianghuai River. It seems that the white rainbow penetrating the sun that appeared at the beginning of the year probably corresponds to this. "Xiao Yuexian said to herself after hearing what Wen Qing'er said.

Wen Qing'er said to Xiao Yuexian: "Lady, if the Huai River breaks its embankment, our chance will come."

After hearing what Wen Qinger said, Xiao Yuexian asked, "What do you mean?"

Wen Qing'er said: "The Huai River bursting the embankment will inevitably lead to chaos among the people. If we can take the opportunity to kill Li Ke at this time, then the whole southeast will be panicked. Wouldn't it be the time for us to profit from it?"

"Kill Li Ke? How did I ever say I'm going to kill Li Ke now?" Xiao Yue asked with a frown upon hearing this.

Wen Qing'er looked at Xiao Yuexian's reaction, and immediately asked: "At this point, don't you want to kill Li Ke?"

Xiao Yuexian replied: "I can't kill Li Ke, at least not yet. It's still useful for me to keep Li Ke."

Wen Qing'er's father and brother died at the hands of Tang Jun. She hated Li Tang's family members to the bone. She heard that Xiao Yuexian did not want to take Li Ke's life. She was puzzled and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Li Ke If you don't die, how can you make the Huai River burst its embankment, if the Huai River doesn't burst its embankment, there will be great chaos in the southeast, how can we take advantage of it."

Xiao Yuexian shook his head and said: "Could it be possible that killing Li Ke will lead to chaos in the southeast? You need to know that although the southeast has been at peace for a long time, the military equipment is not booming, but the [-] troops of the Jianghuai military mansions are definitely not for display. Li Ke's subordinates Ma Zhou, Wang Xuance, etc. Crowds are not wine bags and rice bags. If we can't deal with them, even if there is a flood in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, it will be difficult to achieve great things with more than a thousand of us."

Ever since Li Xiaogong quelled the rebellion of Xiao Xian and Fu Gong Er, the southeast half of the Tang Dynasty had seen few battles. It is still there, the nearly [-] government troops in the Jianghuai area are not something that Xiao Yuexian can lightly try.

Listening to Xiao Yuexian's words, actually wanting to use Li Ke's hand to deal with the Huainan army, in the eyes of others, it is tantamount to fantasy.

Wen Qing'er looked at Xiao Yuexian's confident appearance, but she didn't know where her confidence came from, so she asked: "The local government army never dispatches from the general of the military government, unless it is an imperial edict, there is no other way. , what good plan does the lady have?"

Xiao Yuexian said: "Why do you need an imperial decree to mobilize the Jianghuai army? Li Ke can have the power of an imperial edict if he has something in his hand. If he can get it in his hands, wouldn't the southeast army be in my hands?"
