The concubine's funeral can be regarded as a big event, but on such a rainy day, the royal family has the heart to do it, but it is also a little powerless. In addition, the rain continues, the river water around Chang'an City rises again and again, making people panic, and the various families in Chang'an City rarely go out, so the matter of the princess's funeral and the funeral, except for some officials in the court, not many ordinary people know, and the whole funeral process seems to be a little cold.

From morning to night, the rain continued, the water touched the sky, and the streets of Chang'an City were empty except for teams of funeral honor guards.

Li Shimin only appeared at the beginning of the funeral, and then never appeared again, compared to the funeral of the crown princess, Li Shimin is more concerned and worried about the current flood situation.

The flood is relentless, and if the flood affects thousands of miles, it is not a matter of thousands or hundreds of people.

Today is the sixth day of heavy rain, the rain is blocking the road, and the urgent reports from various places can no longer be delivered on time.

Du Ren, who was in charge of monitoring the situation of the eight water veins near Chang'an just now, sent someone to hand over a report showing that the eight rivers surrounding Chang'an City, namely Wei, Jing, Feng, Shui, Wei, Zhu, Chan, and Ba, all showed signs of surging water.

This is not a festive news, although the eight rivers originate from different places, staggered and connected, but in the end, it is still the Yellow River in Tongguan, the eight rivers are rising sharply, so the Yellow River, isn't it also in danger?

"This, what does Tao Aiqing think?" Li Shimin handed the fold in his hand to the waiter next to him, and asked him to take the fold to Tao Yande for a look.

Tao Yande is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. He is in charge of the water conservancy department, and Li Shimin wants to hear his opinions on this issue.

"Back to the emperor," closing the fold, Tao Yan Dewei bent down to Li Shimin, and replied softly: "Eight rivers are rising, the Yellow River is in danger!" ”

Although everyone knows it in their hearts. Heavy rain of this magnitude. The water of the Yellow River is a matter of time. But the time has really come, and everyone's hearts are still a little difficult to accept. Floods will not only lose homes, fields, but also many lives.

"That, according to Tao Aiqing's opinion. What should I do? Li Shimin glanced at Tao Yande and asked him softly.

"Now we should order all counties along the river to tighten the river embankment, strictly monitor the water situation, and according to the current rainfall, maybe it can last a few more days, and after a few days, if it really can't work." Tao Yande raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin carefully. Said softly: "Only, there is only one way to break the flood." ”

Breaking the mouth to discharge the flood is a way to 'abandon the car and protect the handsome' only when it is absolutely necessary. Break the barren land and keep the fertile side, so when Tao Yande said this, he seemed a little hesitant and broke his mouth to vent the flood, and many times, it was regarded as the incompetence of the Ministry of Works.

Li Shimin took a sip of tea, a little speechless, when the catastrophe came, all he, the emperor, could do, was to order people to break the river embankment to drain the torrent?

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asking to see you outside the palace." Li Ran walked from outside the hall and bent down to report to Li Shimin, interrupting the somewhat suppressed silence in the hall.

"Prince? Isn't he handling the burial of the crown princess, how did he get here? Li Shimin put down the tea bowl in his hand and instructed Li Ran: "Announce him to come in, I also have something to look for him." ”

The arrival of the crown prince reminded Li Shimin of the third son of King Li, the king of Wu, who came to the palace to meet him overnight two days ago.

Now that the catastrophe is approaching, the affairs of controlling the post-disaster epidemic, if the prince does not succeed, he can only let this third child try, after all, there are not many sons who can stand up at this time and dare to stand up and think about sharing worries for the court.

The third child, talented and courageous, is also a good choice.

Of course, the premise of this matter is whether the prince can get out of the matter of the crown princess, if the prince will sink for a woman, his mood is depressed, and he abandons the people of the Tang Dynasty, then he is not enough to be a good emperor.

"Erchen has seen his father!" While thinking about it, Li Chengqian had already strode from outside the hall, and when he came to Li Shimin, he bent down to salute Li Shimin.

Looking at his face on the ground, there was no trace of distress and sorrow, his eyes were firm, his face was gentle, and between his actions and tone, there was also a little more majesty that he did not have in the past, and in a flash, Li Chengqian seemed to have completely changed as a person.

He grew up, Li Shimin nodded lightly, and unconsciously felt a little more relieved in his heart, after this setback, his eldest son was more like a prince.

"Sit down on the side," Li Shimin waved his hand to Li Chengqian, motioning for him to sit down beside Tao Yande, and then whispered

Qian asked, "Is the crown princess already buried?" ”

"has been buried safely, Father Lao is worried." Li Chengqian bent down slightly and replied softly to Li Shimin: "Erchen knows that the flood is getting worse and worse, and a huge flood is no longer inevitable. ”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian took out a list of papers from his arms, handed it to the chamberlain next to him, and said softly to Li Shimin: "This is the list of epidemic prevention materials collected by Erchen in various counties and counties of Datang in the past few days. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and motioned for the chamberlain to hand over the list, which can be described as a surprise, the materials are secondary, and the prince did not disappoint him, which is the point.

I looked at the list again, the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and almost all the counties near these two major streams are on the side, and the materials are all those epidemic prescriptions given by Liu Yiyi, plus some herbs to cure wind and cold, diseases and so on.

"Well, the prince has a heart," Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, this was the first time he was so satisfied with his eldest son, he stood up lightly, walked to Li Chengqian, handed back the list in his hand to Li Chengqian, looked at him and whispered: "Keep up the good work, it won't be long before these things will come in handy." ”

By now, Li Shimin has no intention of transferring this matter to others, originally, this matter was prepared for the prince.

"Yes, father, the son will not disappoint his father!" Li Chengqian stood up, stretched out his hands with a calm face, took the list, and assured Li Shimin softly and forcefully.

"Well, I was discussing the current flood situation with Tao Qing just now, so you can also listen to it." Reaching out and patting Li Chengqian's shoulder, Li Shimin whispered to Li Chengqian.

"Ugly duckling, in a very big forest, there is a flock of wild ducks, there is a female duck sitting in the hole, she has to hatch her ducklings" Liu Xiaohui word by word, with great interest read Liu Yiyi on the paper, using Chinese pinyin and Chinese characters, the fairy tale written for her, Liu Yiyi and Zhang Chuchu sat on the side and looked at her with a smile.

In order to improve Liu Xiaohui's interest in learning, Liu Yiyi didn't bother to think about it, knowing that children like to listen to stories, so he wrote all the fairy tales and fables he had read before for Liu Xiaohui to write in Chinese pinyin and let her read them herself.

So far, the effect has been good, and now not only Liu Xiaohui, but even Zhang Chuchu has also liked these stories, before writing a new story to Liu Xiaohui every day, Zhang Chuchu will definitely pester Liu Yiyi to tell her again in advance, looking at her appearance, she is more like a child than Liu Xiaohui.

"Husband," seeing Liu Xiaohui's reading, Zhang Chuchu leaned to Liu Yiyi's side and said softly: "Xiaohui has more and more real words now, and it won't be long before this 'Hanyu Pinyin' is no longer used, although 'Hanyu Pinyin' is good, but if Xiaohui is dependent on it, it will not be good." ”

Speaking of which, the main role of 'Hanyu Pinyin' is to assist in learning Chinese characters, and Chinese characters are the focus, which is like a baby sucking breast milk, breast milk can be eaten, but grains are the main food, and a person cannot eat breast milk for a lifetime to live.

"The lady is right, but it's not the time yet, wait until a while." Liu Yiyi chuckled, Liu Xiaohui's current level, at best, has only reached the level of the first grade of primary school, and he still knows very little things, and if he wants to get rid of Hanyu Pinyin, it will take at least a year.

"Well, it's good that the husband knows it." Zhang Chuchu glanced up at her husband, chuckled and nodded, she believed in Liu Yiyi.

Gently holding Liu Yiyi's warm hand, Zhang Chuchu looked at Liu Xiaohui who was reading, and whispered in Liu Yiyi's ear: "I want to sort out all the stories that my husband writes every day, bind them together, and when our child is born in the future, I will read them to him every day." ”

"Hehe, as long as the lady likes it." Liu Yiyi turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law, smiled softly, and was also thinking in his heart, whether he should write "One Thousand and One Nights" as well, and read one every day from the day the child was born, then, after one thousand and one days, their children should also grow up.

As for whether he can remember the content of "One Thousand and One Nights", it is not in his consideration
