Chapter Eighty-Eight: Warning
Chapter Eighty-Eight Warning
There are some things that you just want to hide, but you can't hide them, and when such a big thing happens, it will be passed on among the civil and military officials overnight, and it will be passed on among the people sooner or later.
The heavy rain fell for a whole day and night yesterday, and today's rain is only a little lighter, even if it is smaller, but Li Shen also knows that the situation in various places is not optimistic, but fortunately, this time it was properly controlled, and the drought situation did not cause much trouble, but this flood will not be known at that time.
Li Shengao sat on the dragon chair, looked at the civil and military officials below, and lightly recounted what happened yesterday, looking at the ministers below, many people frowned slightly, and said coldly: "I don't know how many people are in the imperial court today, and there are people in the entire empire, but I hope that you will not be implicated in order to your family, I hope that you will think clearly, you should stand on that side, start a war at will, and disrupt the situation in the Central Plains, I will punish him for the nine clans, believe it or not, You can also give it a try. ”
When the ministers heard this, many people secretly looked at Li Shen in disbelief, and many of them turned pale.
"That's all I said today, I hope that all Aiqing will cooperate with each other to meet the floods below and retreat." After Li Shen finished speaking coldly, he stood up and walked towards the apse of the Xuanzheng Palace.
Li Shen walked into the apse, looked at Yang Dingtian sitting on the sofa, sighed slightly, and said, "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”
Yang Dingtian's cloudy eyes raised his head and glanced at Li Shen, his eyes were full of helplessness, and said, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. ”
"Yes! I didn't think of it either. ”
"What are you going to do next?"
Li Shen shook his head slightly, sat down, and said: "This matter is not something I can decide, it depends on him, if he starts a war, I can only face it, and then it will only be the common people who will be unlucky." ”
"Is there a proper solution? The people have just settled down......"
"Grandpa, these things are not up to me, unless I abdicate, but you should also know what will happen to me once I abdicate, and I can't put my family, including those who follow me, in danger."
"Alas! I knew I shouldn't have let them do that in the first place. Yang Dingtian sighed, and then muttered in a low voice: "This makes me how to see Wan'er when I die, how to face it without worry." He raised his head, looked at Li Shen, and said, "Can you let them go one last time?" ”
Li Shen looked at Yang Dingtian with some tears and laughter, and said, "Grandpa, I don't even know where they are now?" And you're talking about this kind of thing a little too soon! The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and you should know this, if they go to the battlefield, how dare I guarantee you this. ”
"Well, you can do it."
Looking at Yang Dingtian's hunched back, Li Shen was also a little helpless.
The weapons workshop also began to increase the production of weapons, preparing for the arrival of the war, when the war will start, Li Shen does not know, but the only thing that can be sure is that without a few months of preparation, His Majesty Li Er will not start a war at will this time, but the time cannot be dragged on too long, the longer it is, the more unfavorable it will be for him.
The heavy rain lasted for six days before it slowly stopped, and the blazing sun broke through the clouds early in the morning and shone on the earth, and the traces of rain that lasted for several days in a morning seemed impossible to find in the blink of an eye.
"Your Majesty." Ma Zhou looked at Li Shen, who was standing at the gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, looking into the distance, walked over, saluted and shouted.
"Something?" Li Shen asked lightly.
"This is a disaster situation in various places, Your Majesty should take a look."
"Let's talk about it briefly."
"The losses of disasters in various places are similar, crops except Jiangnan Province and other places, other places are afraid that there will be no harvest this year, the drought according to the current statistics from all over the country, basically the old and weak and young children go more, a total of about 180,000 people, this flood, has not yet been able to be counted, but it is estimated that the loss is heavier than the drought. Yesterday came a message from Bianzhou that the entire Bianzhou was plunged into floods, and the specific ...... is not yet known."
"I see." Li Shen said.
Bianzhou is Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Song Dynasty, the important place of water transport between the Yellow River and the Huai River, since ancient times, Kaifeng City has been flooded many times, this time the heavy rain that is rare in a hundred years poured down, the Yellow River and the Huai River rose, and it is impossible not to be flooded.
"And there are rumors everywhere now......"
"Just deal with what you have to do, the rumors will disappear one day, how is the situation of disaster relief in various places now?"
"The situation is stable for the time being, because we have prepared from the beginning, so there is no such thing as people wandering around, and it is basically carried out in an orderly manner. It's based on the rumors gathered from all over the place, it seems that the emperor spread it, this ......"
"What do the people think now?"
"The people don't have much repercussions at present, after all, it's a natural disaster now, it's good to be able to fill your stomach, how can you have the energy to take care of this, and the various decrees issued by Your Majesty some time ago have also spread throughout the empire, and the people still appreciate it very much, this ......"
"Okay, you go down, continue to properly publicize with the Propaganda Department, including the newspaper industry, Datang can't be messed up for the time being, and the situation must be explained to the people, so that they can distinguish right from wrong by themselves." Li Shen said with a slight relief in his heart.
I didn't expect his actions, now this time to help, as long as the people can distinguish right from wrong, Li Shen believes that Datang will not be chaotic, the people will not be chaotic, the only thing that can be chaotic within Datang is probably those henchmen of His Majesty Li Er, those who are in charge of military power, that is, they will become the source of chaos at that time.
"The minister will retire first." Ma Zhou saluted and turned to leave.
"Brother Huang." A trembling voice sounded behind Li Shen.
Li Shen turned around, looked at Li Mingda, who was pale, and pale for a moment, it seemed that she still knew the news, and said with a smile: "Son, is there something?" ”
"Brother Huang, why didn't you tell me?" Li Mingda asked with tears in his eyes.
"Tell you what?"
"Brother Huang, at this time, do you still have to hide your son-in-law?"
"Son, these things have nothing to do with you, don't worry, big brother will take care of it."
