The grassland at dusk is particularly beautiful, with layers of faint golden light covering the endless grassland, and the cattle and sheep consciously and slowly walk towards the sheepfold and cattle pen in the shouting of the Eastern Turks.

In the distance, a herd of horses raised a cloud of smoke and dust, intertwined with the golden dusk, like the back of the Buddha's light, full of mystery.

Heaven and earth seemed to be a little discolored at this moment, in the dust and poplars, the horses galloped on the grassland, and the faint black clouds on the edge of the sky, echoing each other, forming a harmonious and happy picture.

But just after the Eastern Turks had settled their cattle, sheep, and horses, the faint black clouds that had been in the setting sun suddenly seemed to change their character, accumulating more and more on the edge of the sky, becoming more and more dense, tumbling and circling and began to press towards the steppe.

The mountain bag lying on the grassland in the distance was instantly submerged by the rolling black clouds, and the rolling black clouds could be vaguely heard, carrying lightning and thunder, making a deafening rumbling sound, and flying unstoppably.

The wind on the steppe blew faster and faster as if it were being chased by the black clouds that pressed very low, and the Eastern Turks took one step and two steps back against the wind, and it took them a long time to get into their tents.

The roar of lightning and thunder, as if mixed with the howling of wolves, suddenly made the horses, cows, and sheep involuntarily squeeze together again.

The whole grassland suddenly became small in the sky and the earth, and the grassland, which was originally still shiny, turned into a black one at this moment, and the wind whined, and instantly pressed the originally upright grass from all to the ground.

The tents of the Eastern Turks, as if also under the menacing black clouds, seemed to be crumbling, crackling and wailing when the wind blew, making people feel that if the wind was stronger, they would be lifted from the ground.

The rolling black clouds swirled and began to ravage the entire grassland, and the grassland, which was originally shrouded in a layer of golden light, seemed to be like a lonely boat in the sea, crumbling under the mania of nature.

There was the neighing of horses, the bleating of sheep, the mooing of cattle, and the thunder of lightning and thunder in thick black clouds.

And on the earth, along with the black clouds that pressed the steppe, there were more than a dozen wolves galloping on the steppe, their eyes flashing with green light, staring closely at the cattle and sheep of the Eastern Turks.

A thunderbolt that resounded through the heavens and the earth, like an order from the heavens, slowly rolled into the sky with the sound of the thunder, shaking the entire grassland.

As if the wolves had received an order, the first wolf howled in the wind and ordered the wolves to start attacking.

The smell of blood suddenly spread from the steppe, and the East Turks in the tents could not run out of the crumbling tents to stop the wolves rushing into the flocks of sheep, cattle, and horses.

The whole grassland began to fall into a hellish scene, and the sound of biting, wailing, and the strong smell of blood spread throughout the grassland.

A group of Turks with about 100 horsemen seemed to follow the wolves, and after the wolves had already made a lot of money, they gradually found the right direction in the dark.

"Most of the urgent reports are protected, and the horses have been driven away by the steppe wolves." As soon as the voice in the darkness finished speaking, his whole face changed color, and in a simple sentence, his stomach was already filled with the smell of wind and blood.

In the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace of Chang'an City, Liang Xiaoren and Yu Wenrong stood in front of Li Hong and said solemnly: "The water in Qujiang Pond has exceeded the warning line you drew at the beginning. ”

"The water of the Yong'an Canal and the Longshou Canal has also begun to overflow from the South Canal, and the most serious thing is that the rainwater must be drained out of the South Canal and the Longshou Canal in the east, but if this happens, it will flood the crops of more than a dozen counties in Guanzhong before the autumn harvest." Liang Xiaoren also said worriedly.

"Where's the liquid pool? Qujiang Pond is full, and the Taiye Pond must not flood the newly built Daming Palace? Li Hong looked at the topographic map on the sand table and asked.

"The Taiye Pool is fine for the time being, and a small gate has opened in the direction of the Longshou Canal to the east, and it is draining out at the moment." Liang Xiaoren replied.

Li Hong held a slender wooden stick in his hand, knocked on the topographic map of Chang'an on the sand table from time to time, and said lightly, "The terrain of Sanyuan and Gaoling is higher than that of Yong'an Canal, and the water cannot be discharged into Weishui, and Lantian County cannot enter it, so what do you mean?" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Hong put down the slender wooden stick in his hand and looked at the two people who were now working in the Ministry of Industry with a smile.

Liang Xiaoren and Yu Wenrong glanced at each other, His Royal Highness the Prince's meaning is self-evident, this is to discharge the flood from Chang'an Wannian County, after Zhiyang County was merged into Wannian County, it was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, if it was discharged from Wannian County, it would inevitably wash away a few squares of Chang'an City near the city wall.

"Your Highness, in this way, I'm afraid that the loss of Wannian County will ......."

"What about your early warning mechanism back then? Isn't that just the right time to use? Washing away a few squares of land is better than flooding the crops of Lantian, Gaoling and other counties, Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of the surrounding twenty-two counties, if it is not from Wannian County, at least more than a dozen surrounding counties will suffer. ”

"I'm afraid you have to summon your subordinates and the two provinces of Zhongshu to inquire about this matter, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......."

"Go ahead, isn't that the flood route you studied back then? What's more, the gate is not as good as before, and it is not possible to open the gate in time to discharge the flood. Hua Meng, summoned the Zhongshu, the subordinates, the household servants, and the military department Shangshu to come over. Well...... It's in Chongwenkan. Li Hong thought for a while and said.

"It's ......." Liang Xiaoren and Yu Wenrong are still a little at a loss.

Li Hong was about to leave for the Chongwen Pavilion Hall, but seeing that the two of them were still hesitating, he smiled and said: "Before my father and mother went to the Eastern Capital, they had already appointed me as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and I appointed the governor of the palace, do you two still have any questions?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, if this is the case, it would be easy to do, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will come to the first and then the prelude, and this kind of thing, now in the court has happened more than once, the angry majesty every time he goes to the court, he slaps the table on him, but it is still to no avail.

Immediately said in unison: "Yes, Your Highness, the minister will do it." ”

"Remember, when you move out of Daning, Xingning, and Yongjia, you can't use force, and the city guards will cooperate with you to move the people together."

After Li Hong finished speaking, he was just about to leave, when Xiaoxue ran over and said crisply: "Your Highness, Zong Chuke is asking to see you at the door." ”

"He also knew what he was doing as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, and he showed up after such a long time, telling him that I was not free, and asked him to move and evacuate the people of Sanfang with Liang Xiaoren and Yu Wenrong."

Liang Xiaoren and Yu Wenrong, who had not yet gone out, heard this, and their hearts were even more relieved, with this actual Jingzhao Mansion parents and officials, it would be much faster and faster to move the people and drain the flood.

Suddenly, the two of them bowed deeply to Li Hong again: "The student thanked His Highness." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly followed Xiaoxue to find Zong Chuke, who was promoted from Lantian County to Jingzhao Chief.

Jingzhao Mansion was previously known as Yongzhou Mansion, and its functions were to govern the surrounding counties headed by Chang'an and Wannian counties.

At that time, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, once both: the left and right generals, Shang Shuling, the Liangzhou envoy, the Yongzhou pastor, and the Liangzhou governor. It can be said that the power has reached the point of overthrowing the emperor.

And now Li Hong, although he is nominally leading the Jingzhao Mansion from afar, but the court officials are all like a mirror in their hearts, this is another emperor who is naked, who has ever seen the Jingzhao Mansion from afar, and can still appoint the governor himself?

To put it bluntly, this is the emperor's intention to cultivate the next emperor.

But even with the addition of the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, as well as his position of the head of the household department, Li Hong is still a lot more humble compared to his grandfather.

In his own words, it is: "A grandson is a grandson, and a grandson will always be a grandson." ”

After watching a few people leave, Li Hong, under the leadership of Xia Zhi, looked at the pouring rain outside, and saw Zong Chuke wearing a simple robe, standing under the eaves like a chicken in soup, waiting for a reply.

"Send someone to bring him a bowl of hot soup, don't let him die again because of this rainstorm." Li Hong sighed and said.

Xia Zhi whispered to the other palace maids to do it quickly, and then led Li Hong to the council hall.

At this time, Li Zhi and Wu Mei happily threw away the government affairs of the court and went to Luoyang to play, leaving the prince in Chang'an to supervise the country.

After a while, Pei Yan, the secretary of Zhongshu Province, Cen Changqian, the provincial servant of the door, Jinghui, the servant of the household department, and Ren Yaxiang, the secretary of the military department, hurried over.

Li Hong sat on the chair in the center of the head, looked at a few people and their left and right subordinates, and waved his hand to signal a few people to sit down.

"Is it my father's will?" Li Hong looked at Zhongshu Provincial Governor Zhongshu Ling Pei Yan and asked.

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty has no will."

"They thought about it, it had been raining so hard for several days, they couldn't have been unaware, right? The heart is really big. Li Hong pouted dissatisfiedly.

Then he motioned to the eunuch Mangzhong, and handed the documents he had just instructed Liang Xiaoren and Yu Wenrong to a few people present.

"How's it going? If there is no opinion, it can be issued. Li Hong picked up a glass of boiled water, took a sip and said.

Originally, he had already started drinking tea, but once playing chess with Sun Simiao, Lao Dao looked at the tea handed by the palace maid, and said angrily with his eyes down: "What kind of tea does the little boy drink?" Wait until you have an heir, or when you really grow up, drink tea. ”

Li Hong asked why with a strange face, and Lao Dao hummed again: "I'm afraid that you won't be interested in sexual affairs in the future, you will be in the three palaces and six courtyards in the future, and everyone will be pampered, and it is not good for you to drink tea now." ”

So, from that day on, without waiting for him to understand whether the old words were true or false, Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue took matters into their own hands and helped him change the tea to boiled water.
