In the pouring rain, His Majesty Li Er entered the political hall with a gloomy face.

The disaster cannot be delayed for a moment.

Jingyang is different from Shaanzhou, even if the entire Shaanzhou is flattened by floods, it is just an inconspicuous county town erased from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and tens of thousands of people are deleted from the household book. Jingyang itself is not a big county, with a population of only tens of thousands, although it is close to Gyeonggi, but it is not the reason why His Majesty Li Er attaches so much importance to it.

Just because not far downstream of Jingyang, is Xianyang City......

Once the Jingyang River bursts, the water will inevitably go down the terrain, and Xianyang City will be swept in it irrepressibly.

As an important town in ancient times, Xianyang's status is not trivial, and there are hundreds of thousands of businessmen living inside and outside the city.

Since ancient times, fire and water have been ruthless, and even a strong dynasty is at a loss in the face of such natural disasters, and it is not impossible for a single disaster to cause a violent chain reaction, leading to the collapse and collapse of the dynasty......

Of course, now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and splendid, it is natural that there will be such a situation as the end of the dynasty.

The reason why His Majesty Li Er attaches so much importance is that the loss of the people in the face of the flood is one aspect, and the other aspect is related to the political situation......

In the past, there were floods in Shaanxi County that devoured people's bones and goods, washed away countless houses and bridges, and now Jingyang and other counties are facing the bursting of the Jing River.

In the eyes of the ancients, the emperor was a son of heaven, not a mortal.

Once the emperor loses his morality, the heavens will feel it, and it will inevitably send disasters to warn the emperor and make him change it, otherwise the subjects of the world will bear their responsibility.

Therefore, if natural disasters were still frequent in that year, the first thing that came to mind from the civil and military ministers to the people in the market was not how to rescue the disaster and how to prevent it, but to find out whether the emperor had done something wrong again, so that God could warn and warn him?

Therefore, once there is a major natural disaster in the world, the most nervous person is the emperor, because if this kind of thing is not done, it will be used by people with ill intentions to incite public opinion to spread rumors and make trouble, resulting in the situation of the court and the instability of the country......

Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er had just come to the political hall and had not yet taken his seat, and Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wei Cong reached the ground, with a solemn expression and a sad tone: "Your Majesty Mingjian, since Zhenguan ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty has been plagued by frequent disasters year after year, and the disasters of floods, droughts and epidemics have not been interrupted for several years, which must be a warning from God." ”

His Majesty Li Er almost laughed angrily, his face was not good when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Do you mean that I have a bad personal morality, misconduct, stupidity and ignorance, failure to meet the blame, and even a mistake in the government I have done and a mistake?" ”

!

Lao Tzu worked hard and thriftily, and there were almost no ancient emperors who were more frugal and industrious than me, but in the end you said that I had done something wrong and was condemned by disasters from heaven?

It just doesn't make sense!

Fang Jun, as the current supreme officer of the Ministry of War, also has the qualifications to come to the political hall to listen to the government, but he only listens to it with his ears, and he has no part in speaking. At this moment, he was sitting in the corner on one side, and next to him was Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the two knew each other, and they had exchanged a few words just now.

Not far in front of them are the princes, the king of Wu, and the king of Jin, three princes who have been reused by His Majesty Li Er, lined up.

Listening to Wei Cong's words, Fang Jun glanced at Liu Dewei beside him in surprise, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Is this man crazy?

It's not that as the Son of Heaven must not be disobeyed, His Majesty Li Er still allows the ministers to speak, even if what you say is wrong, you will not be easily convicted for your words.

But now Wei Cong not only openly condemned the emperor's immorality, but even questioned His Majesty Li Er's most proud "political achievements", what is the difference between this and looking for death?

Everyone in the political hall looked at Wei Cong like a fool, and the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji could even kill......

This idiot who can't even understand the words doesn't know how he climbed to the position of Shangshu Zuocheng?

Wei Cong was baffled by everyone's expressions, and when he saw His Majesty Li Er's fire-filled eyes, he suddenly felt excited, came to his senses, and realized that he had made a big mistake in his mind, and hurriedly sweated profusely: "Your Majesty misunderstood, Weichen is not questioning Your Majesty...... Since his accession to the throne, His Majesty has been sleepless at night, working hard, and has never enjoyed half of the luxury of the world...... Such merit is rare through the ages, and it is clear every day, who does not know the subjects of the Tang Dynasty? If you have never made a mistake, how can you be warned from heaven? ”

His Majesty Li Er looked a little better at this time, but he was still dissatisfied, and asked, "Then what is the purpose of your brainless words?" ”

Wei Cong hurriedly said: "Although Your Majesty has not worked hard to govern the world, it is an example for the emperors of the past dynasties, but in this world, Your Majesty is indeed the only one in this world, you are the son of the gods, and the gods have sent down fires to warn the world, and it may not be to condemn Your Majesty......"

His Majesty Li Er didn't turn a corner for a while, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "Presumptuous! I am the emperor of heaven and the emperor of the world, who else is the son of heaven besides me? ”

There are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords in the people, and there are still people who dare to be called the Son of Heaven with the emperor?

There is no such thing as a person, because even ten heads would have to be cut off......

Wei Cong was so frightened that he knelt in the hall......

The ministers almost covered their faces and couldn't bear to look at them, this person is too spineless, right? Either you have to speak well, or you have to be mentally prepared to say it, full of nonsense, I don't know what to call and be so bold...... It's simply a shame for officials.

Liu Xun on the side was already staring at Wei Cong with burning eyes, and he was thinking in his heart that after he went back, he would impeach a wave of this Jingzhao Wei's son, and step on the name of Jingzhao Wei's to brush himself with a wave of prestige......

How to make a good target, isn't it a waste to be idle?

His Majesty Li Er was also speechless, and said in his heart, how can this person be so soft-boned?

I didn't like it in my heart, and my tone became more and more unkind: "If you have something to say, give me a good word, if you don't have a word, let me get out immediately, this is the center of the empire's politics, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense like this?" ”

Wei Cong's face turned pale with fright, and he swallowed and foamed, he really wanted to obey His Majesty's words and get out of here immediately...... But at the end of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the gloomy face of the eldest grandson Wuji on one side, so he had to suppress the fear in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen is not talking nonsense, the prince is also a king, Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and the prince is naturally also the son of heaven." The monarch is immoral, so the heavens send a warning of calamity, but it is not just a warning to Your Majesty, if the prince is immoral, I think the heavens will also send a warning......"

The ministers were stunned, and a few even laughed.

I've seen people messing around, but I've never seen anyone messing around to such an extent......

Where is this fallacy?

There is no other day, how can the prince be a king!

However, some people can't laugh, where is this nonsense? It is clear that the spearhead is aimed at the prince, and he wants the prince to take the blame for the natural disaster!

How vicious the intentions are!

The prince on the seat turned pale for a moment, gritted his teeth tightly and waited for Wei Cong, his hands pressed on the table in front of him, and his muscles were already bulging, which showed how turbulent the anger in his heart was!

Wei Cong not only blamed the cause of the natural disaster on him, the crown prince, who caused the disaster to the subjects of the world, but also raised his status as a "prince" infinitely, to almost the same height as His Majesty Li Er......

This is the heart!

The prince couldn't help it, so he wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but before he could speak, his kneeling leg was pinched fiercely......

The prince turned his head in astonishment and looked at Li Ke, the king of Wu beside him, I don't know why he wants to stop himself, can he just let this gang of rebellious ministers and thieves plant the blame, but he can't even refute it?

Li Ke pinched the prince to stop his rebuttal under his anger, his lips opened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Don't be impatient." ”

The prince didn't notice it in his anger just now, but he could see it clearly, and Fang Xuanling, who was sitting opposite, twisted his beard and shook his head slightly......

The prince didn't know what Li Ke's plans were, but the two of them have been very close recently, and there is no barrier between them and even trust, so they have to endure the anger in their hearts and purse their lips without saying a word.

There was no sound in the main hall, only the heavy rain was falling outside the window, and everyone held their breath to see how His Majesty Li Er reacted......

His Majesty Li Er stared at Wei Cong with burning eyes, and he was very afraid.

He wanted to support the king of Wei or the king of Jin to replace the crown prince, but he absolutely did not want to see his sons attack each other with such a desperate method.

The prince is also a king?

This is no longer just a court fight, but an unlimited blow, and it must be until the death of the prince......
