Chapter 19: Strange Heavy Rain

Back in Chang'an, Li Shimin was worried and didn't know when he began to ignore Tuyuhun's situation, and he was bent on dealing with the Turks who hadn't paid attention to Tuyuhun's movements for a long time.

Originally, the joy of Yinshan's victory was swept away, and Tuyuhun was a strategically important place, but now Datang had to face the Turks, and his attention to Tuyuhun was obviously relaxed.

Back in the palace, Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling: "Bring me all the information about Tuyuhun recently." ”

Fang Xuanling also bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, do you arrange for someone to explore the reality of Tuyuhun again?" ”

Li Shimin nodded, the intelligence of these days is not enough, it has been too long since anyone has inquired about the situation of Tuyuhun, and the existing information is two or three years ago.

I want to prove whether what Li Zheng said is true, or that this kid is deceiving me.

He said that there will be a heavy rain in Chang'an for the second half of the month in the near future.

Li Shimin came to Qintianjian, and Li Chunfeng was still in retreat.

Seeing Yuan Tiangang wearing a Taoist robe, he was already very old, with white hair and a look in his eyes.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked him: "Daochang Yuan, will there be heavy rain in Chang'an recently?" ”

Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes, pinched his fingers and counted for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers watch the sky at night, there will be no heavy rain in Chang'an recently, it will be sunny, and this year will be a bumper year." ”

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Yuan Tiangang say this, he felt a lot more inexplicably more down-to-earth.

"Someone told me that there would be a heavy rain in Chang'an recently, so I came to ask Daoist Yuan." Li Shimin said.

Yuan Tiangang sat on the star chart and said: "There are a lot of people who swagger and deceive, Your Majesty should not believe those rumors." ”

"Yes, yes." Li Shimin nodded.

Even if Yuan Tiangang said so, Li Shimin was a lot more relieved, how credible was what a twelve-year-old child said?

Back in his bedroom, Li Shimin was about to take a nap, when a cold wind blew open the window of his bedroom.

Hurriedly getting up, Li Shimin walked out of the hall and saw dark clouds in the sky.

A few drops of rain fell, followed by a downpour.

It's really raining......

Yuan Tiangang looked at the heavy rain in the sky, and his face turned pale.

Could it be that I miscalculated?

This shouldn't be...... Yuan Tiangang counted it again and again.

Is there anyone who is more accurate than himself?

Who is it that said to His Majesty that it will rain today, for half a month?

No way.

Yuan Tiangang shook his head vigorously, "There has been no sign of rain in the sky recently, how can there be a heavy rain for half a month." ”

Torrential downpours like this should stop in an hour.

It's been five hours, and the rain is still falling......

Yuan Tiangang looked at the heavy rain in a daze.

The night passed......

Yuan Tiangang rubbed his eyes vigorously, and the heavy rain outside was still falling.

At noon on the second day, there was still no sign of stopping.

On the third day, Yuan Tiangang looked at the heavy rain and said that it was time to stop, this is too abnormal and evil!

Li Shimin couldn't wait so long, and Tuyuhun's latest information didn't come so quickly for a while.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin convened a group of civil ministers and military generals to discuss the matter.

"I want to send 100,000 troops to Liangzhou to guard against Tuyuhun." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said.

Tuyuhun? A group of generals discussed that Tuyuhun was just a small country on the northwest border.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has defeated the Turks on the grassland, how dare a small country like Tuyuhun offend the Tang Dynasty?

"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said: "Tugu Hun is weak and weak, the minister thinks that they will not attack, and now that the war with the Turks has just ended, it is the time to recuperate, and it is not appropriate to mobilize troops and horses like this." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded what Zhao Guogong said." Hou Junji, the general of the Right Military Guard, also said.

Li Shimin could see that these generals and ministers did not take a small country like Tuyuhun in their eyes at all.

Now that Datang has just won a big victory, how can Tuyuhun come back to attack Datang?

Maybe it's really that I'm thinking too much?

Li Zheng said that it was Tugu Hun and the wolf's ambition, and he did not say that he wanted to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin said, "Xuanling, do you think you need to increase your troops?" ”

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said: "The minister thinks that it is not impossible to increase the troops, but now that the northwest defense line of the Tang Dynasty is scattered, once Tuyuhun launches an attack, the border pass will definitely be difficult to deal with, and I am afraid that Liangzhou will be lost." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he immediately stepped forward and retorted: "The minister thinks that it is not necessary, it takes too much soldiers, horses, food and grass to increase the army. ”

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling said again: "Once Liangzhou is lost, if you want to regain it, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass that need to be spent are not only these, but hundreds of times the consumption. ”

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji competed against each other, and the two often disagreed, and everyone could see that the two had been fighting openly and secretly.

Du Ruhui stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it may not be necessary to increase the number of troops by 100,000, but it can increase the number of troops by 50,000, and once there is any change in Liangzhou, it can also be used for defense." ”

proposed a compromise plan, and Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji no longer disputed.

Li Shimin immediately said: "In this case, send 50,000 soldiers and horses to Liangzhou first just in case." ”

"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng stepped forward and said, "The minister wants to impeach a person." ”

As soon as Wei Zheng spoke, Li Shimin immediately came to his senses and asked, "Who?" ”

Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said: "The minister sued Cheng Biting Jin's son for being a tiger in Chang'an, beating people when he saw them, and also blackmailing people for money, forcing people to buy medicine. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Li Shimin turned his head to look, "Cheng biting gold?" Is there such a thing? ”

Cheng Yanjin, who was standing on the side, came back to his senses and looked around: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Shimin was not surprised by Cheng Biting Jin's casual and somewhat fierce temperament, "Zheng Guogong, sue your son for acting as a tiger in Chang'an and blackmailing people for money?" Is there such a thing? ”

"He farts!" Cheng Yanjin said loudly: "Wei Zheng's son, my Cheng someone's son recruited you to provoke you." ”

You can faintly see Cheng Biting Jin's spittle floating in the air.

"The Son is not the fault of the Father!" Wei Zheng said with an old face.

"You have the ability to rush to a certain point, what kind of ability is it to impeach a junior!" Cheng Biting Jin shouted angrily.

The loud voice echoed in the Taiji Palace.

Cheng Biting Jin had a big temper and a loud voice, and Cheng Biting Jin's angry scolding echoed in the Taiji Palace.

Wei Zheng is another soft and hard person who doesn't eat.

Li Shimin covered his forehead in pain......

Jingyang

Li Zheng and Li Yifu were directing the villagers to dig ditches, and it was raining so hard that it would cause flooding and trouble if the water did not flow out, and it would not be good to flood the crops.

The men of the entire Jingyang braved the rain to repair the ditch and build the embankment of the Jingyang River.

"Shouldn't it rain so hard this season?" Li Yifu muttered.

Li Zheng also knew that it was unusual to have such heavy rain in Chang'an this season, and it was out of season.

This unusual weather is documented in meteorological history.

At that time, there were still rumors, and there were legends about the dragon king being angry, the dragon king of the river or something, and there were many versions.
