Seeing that Yin Zhen had already said this, Yun Xiang knew that no matter what he said, he would not listen, and the only thing he could do was to accompany him to continue to wait for the rain here.

Yun Xiang glanced at the ministers standing behind, some of the older ones were already shaky because they couldn't stand the heat, shook their heads secretly, and said to Zhang Tingyu: "Lord Zhang, please take a few elders down first, and then go on like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it." ”

Zhang Tingyu nodded, and said with some anxiety: "Then the emperor and the prince ...... you"

Yunxiang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm watching here, and it'll be fine." ”

"Well, well." Zhang Tingyu didn't have a good way, so he had to leave first, and when those old adults heard that they could go, they all nodded and helped each other to leave, leaving behind an envious courtier.

After waiting for another hour, everyone began to get dizzy, even Yinzhen was no exception, but he still insisted there, wanting to move the heavens with sincerity and rain to relieve the suffering of the people.

However, this time, the heavens seemed to have blinded all the senses, turning a blind eye to Yinzhen's hard work, and just looking down on the world indifferently and ruthlessly; Let them cry, let them laugh, let them mourn everywhere.

"Fourth brother, let's go back first." Yun Xiang persuaded again, this time using a title that had not been used for a long time, and he felt like he was on fire.

Yin Zhen slowly retracted his gaze, because after looking at the bright and dazzling sky for a long time, his eyes were a little blurry, and he smiled bitterly: "Thirteenth brother, has this god made up his mind not to rain?" ”

"How can there be such a thing, maybe it will go down at night, the fourth brother is too anxious, the dragon body is important, let's go back first!" Yun Xiang persuaded bitterly.

Yin Zhen was about to speak again, but his eyes suddenly turned black for a while, and his body suddenly sank, falling to the side, and his consciousness was instantly blurred.

"Fourth brother!" Yun Xiang exclaimed, his eyes quickly supported Yinzhen's body, Dongfang Min, who was already groggy and groggy, saw this scene and suddenly cleared his head, and hurriedly came over to help. I saw that Yinzhen's eyes were closed, and his face was extremely ugly, Yunxiang knew in his heart that this must be a long-term heat stroke.

At this time, there was a sound of "plop" and "plop" behind him, but there were ministers who fainted one after another, and the Temple of Heaven was instantly chaotic, and Yun Xiang was quite calm, and ordered someone to quickly carry the fainted person down, as for himself, he carried Yinzhen on his back, Yun Li was afraid that Yun Xiang would not be able to take care of him alone, so he turned over and went to the Forbidden City with the royal chariot.

On the contrary, Yun Zhen and a few others, from beginning to end, were all cold-eyed bystanders, and even those greetings were a little reluctant, which shows that the contradiction between them and Yinzhen has reached the point of irreconcilability.

After being seen by the imperial doctor, Yinzhen was indeed suffering from heat stroke, and he fainted after accumulating too much heat in his body to discharge it. But the imperial doctor also whispered that Yinzhen was not in good health because he often stayed up late to review and review the folds, so he should try to avoid fatigue in the future.

This prayer for rain ended in vain, and the sky was still extremely fine, not even a trace of clouds, and the blazing sun seemed to dry the earth.

Yun Zhen even publicized the fact that Yinzhen fainted in the Temple of Heaven begging for rain, and wanted to make Yinzhen the laughing stock of the world. But this time, he also missed it, none of the people laughed at Yinzhen because of this, but thanked Yinzhen for everything he did for them, the people in Beijing have recently been able to receive water from one pot to two pots, and the extra pot of water, they know from the mouth of the officials who sent the water that it is because the emperor ordered the palace to cut the use of ice and provide them with the extra iced water for them to drink.

The emperor treats his subjects with his heart, and how can the subjects not know how to be grateful, so even though they did not ask for rain this time, they are still full of gratitude to the emperor who cares about the suffering of the people.

Although the drought in Beijing is getting worse and worse, there are only a handful of people who have fled the disaster, and most of the people are still doing what they have to do, believing that the emperor in the Forbidden City will not let them die of thirst, and that God will rain one day.

Compared with the optimism of the people, Yinzhen's heart is heavy, the nearby water source has almost dried up, and the well water has been declining, and now most of them are supported by eighteen ice cellars, but the daily expenditure of the ice cellar has far exceeded the usual time, and the amount of ice storage is declining sharply, and even the palace water has begun to be in short supply. It has become inevitable to go further afield to fetch water. It's just a place with water, either the road is far away or the road is difficult to walk and rugged, and it is not easy to transport, and now everything has been prepared, just wait for Yinzhen to set a place to get water.

After depicting the detailed map for a long time, Yinzhen finally made a decision, stretched out his hand and said: "Just go to Pingzhou to get water, although it is a little farther away, but the road is relatively wide, and there is a newly built official road, the waterwheel is convenient to transport, and it is not easy to have problems, so I will strive to go back and forth within five days." "Because the waterwheel is too big to gallop, otherwise it can be faster.

Seeing that Yinzhen had made a decision, Zhang Tingyu, who had been waiting at the bottom, arched his hand and said, "Hey, Weichen will do it." ”

After it came out, Yinzhen leaned back, and there was a lingering sadness between his eyebrows, and at the same time, there was a ring sound behind the screen, but it was Ling Ruo. She was originally accompanying Yinzhen to approve the folds, but when Zhang Tingyu came in, she went behind the screen to avoid for a while.

Ling Ruo stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yin Zhen's frowning brows, and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, everything will be fine." ”

Yin Zhen shook her hand, closed her eyes and said, "If it doesn't rain in the sky, I will have to worry about it for a day." Water can still be transported outside, but this year, the grain in the vicinity cannot be saved, and when it comes to winter, I am afraid that there will be a rush of food in the market. Once the ** merchants hoard, the people will go hungry. ”

"Grain can be transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain that was hoarded in the granary before can also be used, although it is old, but it is better than having no grain to eat." Ling Ruo's words caused Yin Zhen to smile bitterly, "Nian Qianyao led the troops to fight outside for more than half a year, and the grain hoarded in the granary has already been used up, and the remaining ones are equal to nothing, and they can't be of great use at all." As for grain transportation, we must wait for the grain harvest in Jiangnan this season before making a final conclusion. ”

Everyone in the world thinks that as an emperor, he has to be windy and rainy, but he doesn't know that there are more things to worry about for the emperor, not to mention the frequent disasters in various places in recent years, and even the capital is also an earthquake and a drought.

"A few days ago, Li Weijun folded and said that he wanted to implement the collection of Ding Yin's land and land at the same time, and no longer levied it according to the number of people and acres of land as before, so as to alleviate the landless and landless people. Speaking of this, Yin Zhen sighed again, "It's really unspeakably tiring for me to be in charge of such a big country, but there are still people who make trouble from it, I really don't know if their hearts are made of iron." "Yin Zhen has a secret secret cloth in his hand, and he knows very well about Yun Zhen's deliberate revelation that he fainted praying for rain on the Temple of Heaven.
