Chapter 808: The Great Flood
Li Ke left the palace and immediately went to Xiao Yu's mansion.
"Whoa!"
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Rain falls down the eaves, ticking and ticking, forming a curtain of rain.
Fortunately, Chang'an City has already repaired the sewer system, otherwise it would be muddy everywhere.
In the house.
The two sat opposite each other.
Sandalwood curls.
Xiao Yu was silent for a while before he spoke: "Your Highness, you have done a good job in this matter, but you are too anxious. ”
"Please also ask my uncle and grandfather for some advice." Li Ke hurriedly said.
"I'm so anxious, don't forget, you are also the king of the domain, if Li You is a vassal king, how can you be missing?" Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty asked you like this, obviously you want Li You and the others to stay in Chang'an City, this is the love of licking the calf." ”
"But if they stay in Chang'an City, it will be very bad for us." Li Ke was a little worried.
Who wouldn't want to be a prince in that high position?
Before, it was a battle between the three kings, but now there are a few more people, and the situation is very bad.
"No, no, no." Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "It's only beneficial for them to stay in Chang'an City. ”
"Uncle, what does this mean?" Li Ke was very puzzled.
"Ke'er, you are a concubine." Xiao Yu looked at Li Ke and said slowly.
When Li Ke heard this, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
He doesn't like it the most when people say that he is a concubine.
However, soon the fist was released again.
"Ke'er, Li You and other princes are also concubines, you are not sisters-in-law, you should be united." Xiao Yu picked up the tea, took a sip gently, and said, "If you want to ascend to that high position, you can't do without the help of these princes." ”
"As long as they are on your side, you are invincible!" Xiao Yu said.
When Li Ke heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.
Those princes who came out of the house?
Are those people really useful?
Li Ke and Li You and others are all concubines, but he has always looked down on them.
Basically, he looks down on all the princes, in his opinion, the princes of the Tang Dynasty are all waste, and he is the only one who is both civil and military.
He's the one who deserves to be on top of that!
And now you're going to work with that waste?
There is more or less unwillingness in my heart.
It's still raining heavily.
……
The rain became heavier and heavier, accompanied by thunder.
In the palace.
Under the eaves, a group of younger siblings are surrounding Li Tai.
"Beautiful country farmhouse with a mother duck lying lonely in her nest, hatching her own young. Finally, the duck eggs cracked one by one, "Secluded! Secluded!" The duck eggs crowed, and the well stretched out their little heads. Look at! How lively these little ones are......"
Lee Tae is telling the story of "The Ugly Duckling" with his younger siblings.
After talking for a while, I finally finished talking about the ugly duckling.
"After listening to the ugly duckling, what do you understand?" Li Tai asked with a smile.
"I know, I know." Princess Gao Yang raised her hand happily and said, "This story tells us that we can't underestimate anyone!" ”
"No, no." Li Tai shook his head.
"This story tells us that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes!" Li You raised his hand and said, "The child of the swan is still a swan!" ”
"No, no." Li Tai still shook his head.
Li Lizhi raised her hand and said, "This story should tell us that kindness in heart is true beauty." ”
"Not really." Li Tai still shook his head.
Xiao Er'er was very puzzled: "Brother Qingque, what do you say this story tells us?" ”
"yes, what the hell tell us?"
"Brother Qingque, you say it quickly, say it quickly."
“……”
"This story tells us that you can live a good life only if you look good." Li Tai said, and then laughed.
……
The rain became heavier and heavier, as if it would never stop.
It's been several days, and it hasn't weakened in the slightest.
A figure came to the palace in a hurry, and the whole person was very worried.
Li Shimin was watching the folds.
This figure hurriedly walked into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!" He walked into the main hall, very anxious.
"How's the situation outside the city?" Li Shimin stood up and asked.
"Your Majesty, water ...... The water is about to flood Chang'an City, and if it continues like this, the people outside the city are in danger! The visitor said anxiously.
"Looks like this is going to be flooded, so what's the matter?" Li Shimin sighed, as an emperor, what he was most worried about was all kinds of natural disasters.
Natural disasters, not only the common people suffer, but also the emperor is not having a good time.
In this era of superstition, if it is a great natural disaster, the people blame the emperor, and the people think that the emperor has no benevolence and genius to bring down the disaster.
Sometimes it will cause turmoil in the country.
"The corn is about to ripen, and if it is soaked in water, the people's hard work for a year will come to naught." Li Shimin sighed and said, "God, why did you lower this punishment? Since I became the emperor, Li Shimin, I have been diligent and pro-government tomorrow, and I dare not have the slightest slackness. ”
"Even during the New Year's holidays, I didn't dare to relax at all, I just hope that the people can live and work in peace and contentment under my governance, but why should God send this punishment?"
"Quickly convene hundreds of officials and discuss politics in the court!" Li Shimin said.
Then he strode towards the main hall of the council.
Soon, hundreds of officials gathered in the main hall.
The crowd stood, their brows furrowed.
It rained heavily, and if it went on like this, there was really going to be a catastrophe.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the rain is heavy and the flood is coming, what do you think is good?" Li Shimin looked at the ministers and asked.
"Naturally, it's a disaster relief." Li Tai stood up and said, "Dad, my son thinks that the gate of Chang'an City should be opened and the people outside the city should be allowed to enter the city to hide from the rain. ”
"If there is a manor outside the city, the people should be allowed to go into the manor to take shelter from the rain, wait until the rain is over, and arrange the aftermath after the rain." Li Tai said.
"No, no, never!" Li Ke stood up and said: "If the people rush here, it will easily cause turmoil, and it will not be good for the security of Chang'an City!" ”
"Are we going to watch people be displaced? Watching the people suffer? Li Tai was very dissatisfied and said loudly: "The people are the water, the king is the boat, and the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat." ”
"My royal family does the things of the world for the heavens, the saint is the father of the world, and the people are the sons of the saint, how can the father watch the son suffer disasters and do nothing?" Li Tai said: "Father, the son is willing to take the lead in disaster relief!" ”
I didn't know there was a flood just now, but now that I know, how can I sit idly by?
As a prince, you have to take on the responsibilities of a prince!
"No, never!" Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Father, if you just make a decision today, but go to a catastrophe, if Chang'an City is opened, there are people who want to make trouble, and it is impossible to prevent it!" ”
