Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 576 The only prince who can't see through (for subscription)

In the Palace of the Prince of Wei, many disciples of Li Taiyang gathered beside Li Tai at this time. The main reason why Li Tai called these disciples here today was Li Shimin's recruitment order.

Li Tai wants to help Li Shimin resist the drought. Li Tai believes that as long as he can come up with an effective way to resist the drought, he will definitely get Li Shimin's attention and even fulfill his verbal promise.

But when Li Tai summoned his disciples and asked them if there was any way to resist the drought, all the disciples raised by Li Tai in the mansion fell silent for a while.

It took a long time before a doorman got up and said: "Your Highness, we can move the people from the drought-prone areas and let them move to places without drought.!

In fact, this is a method, but it is hard to leave the homeland. It is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do. This method is useless at all.

It's just that apart from this method, Li Tai's dozens of disciples have no other countermeasures, and it's not that Li Tai's family is too bad, it's that the drought problem is really too difficult.

Seeing a group of useless disciples, Li Tai walked away directly.

However, just as Li Tai walked away, Li You, who came back from Qinglongfang, directly saw the eldest grandson Wuji who came in a hurry.

"Uncle, why are you here today? Didn't you say that we will try not to have too much contact in the future?" Li You was a little surprised when he saw Changsun Wuji coming in person, because since the alliance, Changsun Wuji asked him to avoid suspicion. Li You and Li Zhi tried not to look for him too much, but today Changsun Wuji came by himself, which is very surprising.

"There is trouble!" Changsun Wuji walked in front of Li You, walked straight into Li You's house, and then sat on a chair and said, "However, if we have a solution to this trouble, it will be a big problem. opportunity for proof."

Looking at Changsun Wuji who was sitting on the chair, Li You quickly asked, "Uncle, what's the trouble?"

"drought.!"

"Drought...?" Li You was horrified.

You must know that Li You is very aware of the horror of drought, because drought is not only a killer in ancient times, but also a killer in modern times. Even in the modern 21st century, droughts will occur. Of course, there will be no large-scale death threats, but droughts Indeed, what still exists, cannot be resisted by manpower.

Seeing Li You's worried look, Changsun Wuji on the side hurriedly said: "It's not that it has already happened, but there are signs of drought just now. Now the water levels of all major canals are dropping, and the Taishi Bureau has also concluded that it is There will be no rain in one month near Chang'an.

This made His Majesty panic. You know that this month is the time for the people near Chang'an to grow grain. Therefore, His Majesty issued a recruitment order to seek solutions to prevent and solve the drought. Anyone can offer advice, as long as they are adopted, they will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and promoted to three ranks.! "

"Father is right, plan ahead...!" Li You nodded.

"Indeed. So this is also our opportunity. If we can come up with a way to ensure that the farmland around Chang'an can be irrigated normally even if the water level drops, then it will definitely leave a heavy mark in His Majesty's heart."

Changsun Wuji's words made Li You nod slightly in his heart. At this moment, Li You's eyes lit up and he said, "That's right. I have a way to get a rain!"

"Get a rain?" Changsun Wuji was horrified, because what Li You said was too amazing. He could have a way to get a rain. How could this be possible? Li You is not a god, so how could it be possible? Get a rain.

But looking at Li You's determined look, Changsun Wuji didn't see any joking expression on Li You's face.

It's just that this rain, what method will Li You use to get it down? If Li You really begged for rain, then how terrible is Li You? Is it good or bad for him to be by Li Zhi's side?

A few days later
"What are you talking about? His Royal Highness King Jin is going to pray for rain ten miles away in Chang'an?" In the west market, among a group of common people eating noodles together, a commoner looked at the surrounding commoners and said.

"Really? How could there be rain on such a hot day with no wind at all?" Soon, this topic got the interest of another commoner, but this commoner raised his own doubts .

As soon as this question was raised, it also got the approval of other people in the noodle stall.

"Yes, look at the weather. If there is no ice cubes provided by the government, it will be so hot that you can't sleep at night. How can there be rain in such a weather?" A commoner shook his head speechlessly.

"The seeds are going to be planted soon. Let me tell you, the water in the canal has dropped a lot. I used to be able to reach the water by bending over. Now I need to connect a rope of at least one meter, and the water level is still falling. I am really worried. , sow without water."

"Then what should we do? If we can't grow food this season, what will we eat in winter and what will we use as seeds in the next year?" A group of people were talking, they couldn't eat any more noodles.

However, at this time, the man who started at the beginning suddenly said: "Hey, don't forget that His Highness Jin Wang was the one who was dreamed by Li Er's teacher, that is to say, His Royal Highness Jin has the most imperial aura.

If a human god prays to the sky for rain, the sky will definitely give it rain! "

"Really...?" A commoner popped up suddenly and said, "Does that mean that as long as His Highness King Jin can ask for rain, then His Highness King Jin will be the next crown prince appointed by heaven?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone showed a surprised expression, and the words spread throughout Chang'an that day. On the second day, Li Zhi arrived ten miles south of Chang'an early. On the high platform, Li Zhi just sat on the high platform.

There is shade on the high platform, so it is not exposed to the sun, which is much more refreshing than standing in a military posture in the recruit camp. Li Zhi is also very willing to sit on this high platform, so that he can temporarily get rid of the military posture and walk in the queue. I don't know how happy Li Zhi is at this time.

As long as he can feel comfortable, he doesn't care what Li You asks him to do, and he doesn't care if the rain can fall or not.

Li Zhi's praying for rain today has also attracted the attention of many people. Li Shimin, Li Tai, and the ministers in the court, although none of these people arrived at the scene of praying for rain, they have sent people to follow the whole process.

Li Shimin was sitting in the Ganlu Hall. Although his eyes were looking at the upper table on the table, his mind was not on the upper table. After a while, Li Shimin looked at Yang Qu beside him and asked, "Yang Qu, what do you think if the childish slaves If you really begged for the rain, then does it mean that the young slave is actually suitable to manage the Tang Dynasty, or else, why did the most holy teacher always love him and God always protect him?"

Of course, Yang Qu did not dare to say such a thing, he could not eat a mouthful, as long as he did it, it would be a death penalty, so even if Yang Qu wanted to help Li Zhi in his heart, he could only say: "Your Majesty, this way The old slave doesn't understand the matter, the old slave only knows how to serve His Majesty, other things have nothing to do with the old slave."

"Hehe...!" Li Shimin smiled: "You, you still know how to measure, but this time I didn't have any other intentions. I was really confused. Since Chengqian left, I feel that I am the most suitable for the crown prince. The one in the seat is the blue bird.

But what I didn't expect was that many ministers objected to my idea, and they all thought that Qingque was not suitable to be a prince. I wanted to wait for a while to see, but what Qingque did made me one after another. Disappointed, threatening his own brother, protecting his confidants, but I feel that Qingque still has his abilities.

However, the current Zhinu makes me look a little different. I didn’t think about Zhinu before, but Zhinu has changed now. More importantly, the relationship between Zhinu and him is really close. He should be my The only son who can't see through!"

Yang Qu just listened without saying a word, but he was worried in his heart. The only son Li Shimin couldn't see through should be King Qi, and the person Li Shimin couldn't see through, Yang Qu was very worried that Li Shimin would kill the grass.

In Li Tai's Prince Wei's mansion, Li Tai was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, and Li Tai's confidantes, Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai, Du Chuke, were sitting on the side. These people were also frowning at this time, and these The reason people sat together was because of Li Zhi's begging for rain and the gossip.

"If the King of Jin can really ask for the rain this time, then we will be passive this time!" It was Du Chuke who spoke, he was Du Ruhui's younger brother, and he was also a supporter of Li Tai.

"I also checked the gossip outside, but the other party hid it very well, and I couldn't find the person who spread it. However, I can be 100% sure that these gossip must be spread by Li You's people." Chai Ling Budo.

"But there is no evidence, even knowing it is useless!" Fang Yiai looked at Li Tai who had his eyes closed at this time and said, "Your Highness, begging for rain is a double-edged sword, and so are those gossip. It’s okay, but if the rain doesn’t come down, we can go along with the flow and say that this is the revelation from the heavens that Li Zhi is not suitable to be a prince!”

As soon as Fang Yiai said this, Li Tai finally opened his eyes slightly and nodded, "Fang Er is still reliable..."

Hearing Li Tai's praise, Fang Yiai continued: "Besides, asking for rain is not something that can be achieved so easily. After all, the Taishi Bureau has already made a judgment, so I think King Jin is just trying to please the public. As long as King Jin asks this time If it doesn't rain, we can attack in groups.

It can even be said that he deliberately offended the heavens by doing this. If a drought really comes in the future, we will put all the blame on King Jin. "

"Eh, isn't that a bit cruel?" Du Chuke was a little surprised.

At this time, Li Tai revealed a slight ruthlessness and said, "No poison, no husband."
