A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 445 Raw and Cooked Rice (1)
On the second day, the collapse of Tianshuiya gate and dam in Fenghuang Guan shocked the world.

The flood surged out, and the entire Fenghuang Pass was submerged. The two cities adjacent to Fenghuang Pass were not spared, the fertile land was flooded, and countless people were killed or injured.Qingshan City on the border between Tiansheng and Nanliang was also affected, and the flood hit most of the city.

This is the first time such a catastrophe has occurred since Tiansheng Dynasty was established for a hundred years, except for the seven-day and seven-night torrential rain, which caused Tiansheng's large-scale flooding to be rectified and rectified.The water stored in Tianshui Cliff gushes out, and the water covers hundreds of miles of Fenghuang Pass. It comes fiercely and urgently, and no living beings are spared.

People in power in various countries got the news as soon as possible, and they all paid attention to the news of Fenghuangguan.

The old emperor Tiansheng learned that the Qingshan City belonging to the Tianshengdi boundary was affected, and immediately sent the fourth prince Ye Tianyu to Qingshan City to preside over the overall situation. Ye Tianyu led the order and hurried out of the capital.

When the people in the capital learned of the flood in Fenghuangguan, the kind-hearted people burned incense and prayed at home one after another.

For a while, the Fenghuang Pass flood overwhelmed the three major incidents that were widely spread, ranking first among all incidents.

It is said that the first time Nanliang got the news, the king of Nanliang vomited blood in a rage, and Prince Rui asked his order to go to Phoenix Pass with his family.Wang Enzhun of Nanliang, but after all, the capital city of Nanliang is still some distance away from Fenghuangguan, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire.

On the evening of the third day, Hongge sent back a message that the flood was too great at that time, and the rafts and bamboo rafts were overturned by the waves and were useless at all.Fortunately, the people in the Red Pavilion are all masters of martial arts. All the more than a thousand celebrities in the Red Pavilion on the Motianya were mobilized, and 2000 people survived.

2000 people have gathered all the strength of the Red Pavilion.

When Yun Qianyue saw the news, she was a little relieved that 2000 people were at least [-] lives.

On the fourth day, the flood stopped for a while, and countless corpses floated to the surface. It is said that Fenghuang Pass is hundreds of miles away, and there are corpses floating on the river.In addition to the people wearing Nanliang costumes, there are also people wearing Tiansheng costumes.

The general soldier of Fenghuangguan was spared and all other officials were killed.

At noon on the fourth day, Nan Lingrui arrived at Fenghuang Pass, and it was difficult to walk on foot. He immediately ordered people to build several small boats. The purpose of the small boats was of course to salvage the corpses.It is said that after Prince Rui only ordered this sentence, he did not say a word for a whole day and night.

On the fifth day and night, Tianshui Cliff didn't store any more water, and the flood calmed down.But it is conceivable that the entire Phoenix Pass has turned into a vast ocean.

For the next seven days, Nan Lingrui sat in Fenghuangguan, did not eat or drink, and salvaged the corpses of the people. He salvaged all the corpses of the people in Fenghuangguan to the top of the mountain. People dug pits to make graves on the top of the mountain, and Prince Rui personally buried the soil in front of each grave to pay homage to the spirits of the dead. Whether it was the people of Nanliang who died in this flood or the people of Tiansheng, they all received his equal treatment. treat.

Afterwards, Prince Rui asked monks from temples hundreds of miles away who were not affected to save the souls of the dead. On the mountain where tens of thousands of bones were buried, the sound of chanting sutras continued day and night for another seven days.

From the collapse of the Tianshuiya sluice gate to the day when the sutras were chanted and the souls of thousands of people were saved.For twenty days, the whole world was surrounded by mournful songs.Whether it is Tiansheng Capital, or everywhere in the world, there is an oppressive atmosphere of darkness and death after the disaster.Every household, even the mansion of the prince and grandson who played and sang songs every day, has lost the usual enjoyment.

Compared with the catastrophe at Fenghuang Pass, the affected Qingshan City was much lighter, but it also flooded hundreds of fertile fields and killed or injured thousands of people.

Ye Tianyu arrived at Qingshan City three days after the flood broke out. For the first time, this pampered prince withdrew from the air of a prince who was both righteous and evil, and shared joys and sorrows with the people of Qingshan City.After [-] days, Qingshan City has taken care of the safety of the people and the people, but the floods have not receded and the losses have been heavy.

Twenty days later, whether it is Fenghuang Pass, Qingshan City, or Nanliangzhang City within Fenghuang Pass, from a distance, there is still a glimmer of water.The boat with more than a dozen people can run amok without being stranded, which shows the large amount of water.

It was rare for Nan Lingrui to survive exhaustion for [-] days, so he ordered the mobilization of troops to start drainage.

Yun Qianyue consulted the book about the topography of Fenghuang Pass, and combined with her own memory of the topography of Fenghuang Pass, sorted out a set of effective methods for dredging and drainage, and ordered Hua Sheng to pass it on to Nan Lingrui.

After this method came out, Yun Qianyue stood in front of the window thinking, that's all she can do now.

Twenty days later, the old emperor seemed to have only remembered the fourth prince Ye Tianyu's birthday, and hurriedly ordered Ye Tianyu to be transferred back from Qingshan City to the capital to celebrate his birthday, and sent the young master Cang Ting who had just returned from the Cang family to the capital, and appointed him as The emperor sent the inspector Yushi to Qingshan City to take over Ye Tianyu's work and deal with the aftermath.

Cang Ting took the order to go to Qingshan City, and Ye Tianyu returned after waiting for dispatch.

This simple transfer order seems to be that the emperor loves his son, and he is still thinking about the birthday of the fourth prince under such circumstances, but smart people know that this is the emperor's removal of the power of the fourth prince, and he will not let the fourth prince be in Qingshan City. This is an opportunity to get big, and everyone knows that Cang Ting is the Seventh Prince's aide. Now that the Seventh Prince's people are taking over from the Fourth Prince, and enjoying the result of building Qingshan City, this clearly tells the world that his favorite successor is the Seventh Prince.Tell people clearly that the fourth prince has no qualifications and no chance.

The biased wind vane in the court once again turned to the Seventh Prince.

The seventh prince, Ye Tianyi, and Ye Qingran, the little prince, have been recovering from their injuries these days, but the difference is that the seventh prince goes to court every day, and the little prince Ran is recuperating in the mansion, and has never left the mansion, let alone went to court.

On the day when the old emperor's decree arrived at Qingshan City, Yun Qianyue received a letter from Ye Tianyu.The letter said, "Sister Yue please help me get rid of Cang Ting."

Yun Qianyue read the letter for a while, and wrote back, "I can't get rid of it! Go back to Beijing! Qingshan City is just a small city. Since the emperor's uncle wants to celebrate your birthday, then you can come back happily .The green mountains remain unchanged, and the green water flows forever. The capital city is the core of the world, so why worry about not having a chance?"

Ye Tianyu received the letter that day and night, and was not reconciled, so he immediately drove back to Beijing.

Yun Qianyue didn't know what role she played in this tragic song, whether she was a spectator or the rescuer behind it.But in short, this great tragedy made her understand that on the road to imperial power baptized by the regime, the country is not a joke, but the accumulation of blood and lives of countless people.She has never realized more clearly than this moment that the world is about to fall.

These days in Beijing are peaceful, since Rong Jing went to court with Prince Yun that day, he has not come to Prince Yun's mansion.It is said that he accompanies Prime Minister Qin to handle government affairs in the meeting hall every day. After all, Qingshan City is flooded, and this catastrophe also requires supplies and supplies from the rear.

Three days later, the Fourth Prince Ye Tianyu returned to Beijing, and there was only one day left before his birthday.

The old emperor highly praised Ye Tianyu's performance in this flood in Qingshan City and gave him a reward.Ye Tianyu smiled and kowtowed, thanking his father for his love. It is said that the father was kind and his son was filial and harmonious on that day in the Golden Luan Hall.

The next day, the fourth prince got the old emperor's permission to hold a banquet in the mansion. Originally, the country was in crisis and there should be no happy event, but the old emperor said that he would take advantage of the fourth prince's birthday to celebrate and get rid of bad luck. So all the officials congratulated one after another. A small birthday banquet is like a wedding banquet.Before it even started, there was great pomp and joy.

Yun Qianyue accepted the appointment and went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion early in the morning.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the Fourth Prince's Mansion today, and everyone was smiling, coming in and out, quite happy.The chief butler of the Fourth Prince's Mansion greeted the guests with a few people close to him, and received the gifts softly. The Fourth Prince's Mansion was in full swing today.

When Yun Qianyue arrived at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, most of the guests had already arrived.She opened the curtain and got out of the car, and the butler of the Fourth Prince's Mansion hurriedly threw down someone to greet her, her enthusiasm surpassed that of all the distinguished guests.

Yun Qianyue smiled and looked at the big housekeeper of the fourth prince's mansion, with her hands spread out, empty, she smiled and said: "I didn't bring a gift, I don't know if I'm allowed to go in for a drink."

The chief steward of the Fourth Prince's Mansion was taken aback, and quickly smiled and said: "Miss Qianyue, just now, my Fourth Highness asked if you have come, it's fine if you come now, and you will naturally enter without a gift."

"Where's Ye Tianyu? Greeting guests inside? The Fourth Prince's Mansion is really lively today!" Yun Qianyue looked at the long line of carriages and the hustle and bustle of people in the mansion, she asked with a smile.

"My Highness didn't entertain any guests. He was in the backyard. I ordered you to come and I will take you to find him," said the chief steward.

Yun Qianyue nodded when she heard the words, and waved her hand, "You don't need to lead the way, you can entertain the guests! I am familiar with the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so I go to the backyard to find him."

The big butler was not polite when he heard the words, he nodded in response, and went to entertain the guests again.

Yun Qianyue stepped up and walked in. The mother and concubine of the fourth prince was Chen Guifei, the daughter of the old general Chen. Although she died young, her grandfather was a famous family and had a noble status.Later, he was brought up under the queen's knees, and among all the princes except the one that the queen is pregnant with now, he is the prince with the most noble background.His mansion is naturally not bad, even better than the mansion of Ye Tianqing, who was originally the prince and is now the second prince.

Lintai Waterside Pavilion, flowers and treasures, are dazzling, luxurious and noble.Not terribly elegant, but not vulgar either.

The autumn is crisp, the sky is clear and the sun is bright, and the banquet is arranged in the front yard.Tables of delicacies, delicious dishes.Before the banquet started, there were already 80 people sitting in front of the banquet.Smiling and laughing at Yan Yan, full of joy, just like celebrating her own birthday.

"Yun Qianyue?" A familiar voice called out.

Yun Qianyue was about to go around the front hall, but when she heard a familiar voice, she turned her head and saw Leng Shaozhuo sitting at a table waving to her.Rong Feng sat next to Leng Shaozhuo, and the two occupied a table without anyone else.

The guests who were chatting lively stopped talking and looked at Yun Qianyue when they heard Leng Shaozhuo's shout.

Yun Qianyue glanced around roughly, more than half of them were the ministers of the court and the other half were the family members of the ministers of the court.There is also a place separated by a curtain, and several tables are set up, and the female family members are sitting inside.She saw several little princesses from the royal family, including the cold and alienated from the filial prince's mansion, Rong Linglan, the second lady of Rong Wang's mansion, and the ladies from various mansions in the middle of the capital. In the scene of a group of daughters in luxurious clothes, she was extremely simple and elegant, she looked strange at first glance, but after a closer look, she couldn't help being a little surprised, it turned out that the woman was the sixth princess.

Today's Sixth Princess is so different from the previous Sixth Princess, even she can hardly recognize her.
