Soon, the water level in Chang'an City increased little by little.

In a short time, it was submerged to almost the knee.

At this time, all the people panicked.

The people dragged their families with them, ran out of their homes, and stood in the streets.

At this time, Li Su sent a team of officers and soldiers to guide the people to move to the high ground.

Then, the officers and soldiers were ordered to set up tents on the open high ground to shelter the people from the wind and rain.

Raise the fire and let them roast it and remove the moisture.

On this night, almost no one slept in the entire Chang'an City.

At dawn the next day, the weather finally cleared.

The water level in the river shows no signs of lowering.

However, as soon as the rain stops, it is believed that soon the water will fall.

At this time, Li Shimin, who had already gone to escape the summer, had returned overnight.

It turned out that when Li Shimin received information that it had been raining heavily near Chang'an for several days and that the river was about to burst its embankment, he began to return.

Finally today, I returned to Chang'an City.

When he entered the city, Li Shimin saw the stagnant water that could submerge his calves, and Li Shimin's face became extremely ugly.

This night, because he was in a hurry, he didn't get the slightest news.

And now, even the stagnant water in Chang'an City has submerged the calves, so what about the people outside the city?

Li Shimin didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Soon, Li Shimin rushed to the palace.

The crown prince Li Chengqian, who got the news, hurriedly led the hundred officials to greet him.

Li Shimin couldn't help asking, "Prince, how is the river embankment now?" What about the losses? ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly replied: "Father Qiqi, the sixth brother Li Su is responsible for strengthening the river embankment, and ordered those soldiers to open the canal, causing water to accumulate in Chang'an City. However, the embankment was saved due to diversion, and as for the damage, it is currently being counted. ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's answer, Li Shimin couldn't help but look at him coldly and asked, "All this, is your sixth brother doing?" So what did Li Tai and Li Ke do? ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly replied: "Qiqi's father, the third brother Li Ke, was infected with typhoid fever before the embankment burst and is still bedridden. The fourth brother, Li Tai, was on the way to strengthen the river embankment, accidentally fell from a horse and was trampled by a horse and broke his thigh, and is now recuperating from his injuries. ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian coldly and asked, "Then what are you doing?" ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and then couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, strode into the palace, and ignored the prince.

In the end, the crown prince was helped up by the eldest grandson Wuji and walked into the palace together.

In a short time, the losses in Chang'an City were counted.

In this flood, a total of 120 houses collapsed in Chang'an City due to the immersion of stagnant water, killing 37 people and injuring 156 others.

Property damage, which is expected to reach more than three million.

At this time, Wang Xin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Li Su, the king of Liang, regardless of the lives of the people in Chang'an City, and the safety of my Tang Imperial City. Insisting on going his own way and opening the canal, the water in Chang'an City was too high to the knees, causing more than 100 casualties among the people, and the dragon qi in Chang'an City was damaged. The minister thought that King Liang must be severely punished! ”

After Wang Xin, the officials of the five surnamed Qiwang factions, which accounted for more than half of the court, stood up to impeach Li Su.

Cheng bit Jin angrily pointed at Wang Xin's nose and scolded: "Okay, you bastard, if it weren't for King Liang to open the canal, the tens of thousands of people outside the city would all die!" Tens of thousands of people, and the deaths and injuries of more than 100 people in Chang'an City, you can't tell which one is light and which one is heavy? Are you a pig? ”

After Cheng bit Jin, other generals also echoed him.

Li Shimin's face sank, and he said sharply: "Okay, that's enough!" This is the court, do you think this is a vegetable market? ”

After waiting for the calm down, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask the eldest grandson Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, what do you think of this matter?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji came out and said: "Your Majesty, King Liang's move is dedicated to the public, and the ministers admire it. However, Chang'an City is the imperial city, where the dragon qi of the Tang Dynasty is located. And when King Liang opened the canal, he didn't think about the consequences at all, if the stagnant water collided with the dragon qi, it would damage the foundation of my Tang Dynasty. Even now, I don't know if it has damaged my Datang dragon spirit. Although King Liang is well-intentioned, in the opinion of the minister, it is a bad thing and has to be punished! ”

If yesterday, the eldest grandson Wuji admired Li Su and devoted himself to the Tang Dynasty, then now, he is selfish.

This Li Su, who dared to calculate me, had to be aware of being hit.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and then asked Fang Xuanling, "Xuanling, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Liang has merits, but the merits outweigh the faults, and he should be rewarded." ”

Du Ruhui's opinion is the same as Fang Xuanling's.

However, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji and the officials of the five surnamed Qiwang factions secretly joined forces and occupied an absolute advantage, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to Li Su.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "King Xuanliang is here!" ”

Soon, the chamberlain went down to find King Liang.

Not long after, Li Su, the king of Liang, walked into the main hall covered in mud.

It turned out that since he arrived at the embankment yesterday, Li Su ran from the embankment to both sides of Chang'an City, and did not rest all night.

Now people are standing on top of the main hall, and their clothes are still dripping, and wherever they stand, they are all swaying and crumbling.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel distressed, and couldn't help but say: "Come on, show King Liang a seat, and serve him a bowl of ginseng soup." ”

Soon, an attendant moved up a Zhenguan chair, and after Li Su thanked him, he sat on the chair with his buttocks, leaned his head on the backrest, and almost fell asleep all at once.

When the ginseng soup was delivered, Li Su drank it while it was hot, and there was a trace of heat on his body, and he was relieved a little.

Next, there is the impeachment of Li Su by the Five Surnames and Qiwang faction headed by Wang Xin.

The point of impeachment is that Li Su dug a canal and released water into Chang'an City, destroying the dragon energy of Chang'an City.

This is nonsense at all, but the ancients believed this, and if there is no way to tell the difference, it must be a felony.

But on the contrary, whether this dragon qi is destroyed or not, there is no example at all, and it is very difficult for Li Su to distinguish it.

However, after listening to their impeachment, Li Su couldn't help but smile and asked, "Your rhetoric, this king thinks it is very strange. The so-called eight water Chang'an City, the dragon from the water, because there is so much water around Chang'an City, in order to ensure that the dragon in Chang'an City is vigorous. ”

"And now, Chang'an City has crossed the water, and it will actually destroy the dragon qi? What is the rationale for this? The dragon is from the water, the water is sufficient, and the dragon will only be stronger, which will inevitably make my Tang Dynasty more solid and stronger in the future! ”

"Wang Yushi, let me ask you, do you think this is the truth? Will my Tang Dynasty be more stable? Will it be more prosperous and powerful? ”
