After a training, the two brothers and sisters who didn't even get food in the end thought that one was beaten and the other was scolded, but they didn't expect their dragon mother's mood to be as capricious as the weather, so that the two of them stood under the tree that Li Hong planted back then, and thought about the tree for an hour.

After a night of overcast, I thought I would be able to tick some raindrops, but after the night, the thick clouds were still thick, but the raindrops did not fall at all.

In the morning, when the court was in high spirits, all the ministers were praying for rain, but the clouds seemed to be sealed, sweeping in the air like a thick curtain was being netted, that is, nothing rained.

The dejected ministers hurried back to their official offices and began to pray for when it would rain quickly, and when the rain would come to ease the gloom between His Majesty's brows above the court.

But the weather has been noon since yesterday night, but it has not rained at all, and some ministers began to whisper, is it time to ask the Holy Lord to go to the Ming Hall to ask for rain? After all, the people have begun to spontaneously beg for rain on Luoshui.

Li Hong followed the ministers to listen while walking, and asked a few curious questions from time to time, when he heard that the people were ready to offer a boy and a girl to the god of Luoshui to ask for rain, his heart suddenly sighed, and he hurriedly asked: "How do you ask for a boy and a girl for rain?" ”

"Your Highness, naturally it was given to the Luoshui Water God, so that it can rain if it is not guaranteed." A minister looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was more than a head taller than him, and hurriedly said.

"Send it to the Luoshui Water God? How to send? With a carriage or ....... Li Hong's face became a little gloomy, and in the minister's opinion, he also had the meaning of knowingly asking.

How else can this be delivered? Naturally, it was put into the Luo River and sank, otherwise how could it be given to the Luoshui Water God?

This kind of thing is not as detailed as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's question, and asking for rain itself is inevitable.

"And where did you get this boy and girl?" Li Hong pulled the sleeve of Jiang Ke's robe and asked persistently.

"Your Highness, you don't need to ask about this matter, in short, it is enough to ask for rain to relieve the suffering of all the people when the time comes." Jiang Ke said with a haha.

Looking at Jiang Ke playing haha, Li Hong's expression is the same as this gloomy but not rainy weather, Jiang Ke doesn't know if he is a good official, but it should be considered good in history, right? There are not many records, but I don't remember what he did.

Watching Jiang Ke and other ministers leave, he also returned to Shangshu Province, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it was, with the ignorance of this era, even if China developed for another thousand years, it was still so ignorant, would it be a common thing to offer boys and girls to ask for rain?

"Yangwu, go to Luoshui immediately, any people who ask for rain will be dispersed, all the boys and girls will be brought back to me, and if there is one less, you will take your head for your life! I don't care what method you and Liantie use, as long as this Henan Province and Guanzhong area, if someone begs for rain with boys and girls today, all the blame will be borne by you and Liantie! Li Hongtie said with a blushing face.

"Your Highness, you ...... Is it ...... think twice. ”

"Don't think twice, do it immediately, I will bear all the consequences!" Li Hong glanced at Yangwu, who was a little worried in his eyes, and naturally knew what he wanted to say.

I'm afraid I just want to say that these requests for rain are not secretly acquiesced by the father or the queen mother.

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

"Xuan Shangguanyi, the secretary of the military department, Ren Yaxiang, come over." Li Hong rubbed his temples and said.

If Jiang Ke knew about this

, but he doesn't want to say it too clearly, so obviously someone from his father and mother must know about this begging for rain, what is Jiang Ke's surname? The surname is Jiang, and from time to time under the court, he often calls himself a descendant of the water god Gonggong.

What does this mean, it is far-fetched to pull his surname Jiang and the surname Jiang of the Gonggong clan together!

Li Hong, who was sitting in Shangshu Province waiting for Shangguanyi and Ren Yaxiang, was irritable at this time and could not be irritable anymore, if the father and mother really agreed to offer a boy and a girl to the water god to ask for rain, this would ...... Alas...... In the end, Li Hong could only sigh helplessly.

Shangguan Yi hurriedly ran in, and Ren Yaxiang behind him was also in a hurry, and the two of them were about to salute after they came in one after the other, but they were immediately stopped by Li Hong.

"Without further ado, I wanted to wait and see if the rain could fall, but now it seems hopeless, and no one has given me a chance to wait any longer." Li Hong said as he patrolled back and forth on the map of Guanzhong and Henan Province.

"Your Highness, why don't you wait, didn't you say that the thunder was too dangerous that day?" Shangguan Yi has been staying in the East Palace since he was summoned by Li Hong yesterday, waiting for Li Hong to start the decision to blow up the clouds at any time.

"Dangerous, can it be dangerous, when I was in Anxi, I had already run far enough, and I was almost struck by lightning. But now we don't have time, and there have been incidents in Luoyang of sacrificing boys and girls to pray for rain. ”

"Huh? Isn't that nonsense! If they could ask for rain like that, why didn't they ask for it yesterday, but they had to rush to this time to ask for it? People are dead, but the rain is not falling, what is it? Isn't sincerity enough? Or a few more boys and girls! Your Highness, this is your ...... You've got to stop it. "Shangguan Yi has been in charge of Chongwen Pavilion for many years, and after replacing Xu Jingzong, he is also the crown prince and concubine, so he said these words with reason.

The most important thing is that since he took charge of the Chongwen Pavilion, he has become unbelieving in ghosts and gods, what to ask for rain or not for rain, since the appearance of the shoddy dry ice, the student splashed a bowl of water in front of him, and immediately became a fairy mist, not only was he startled at first, but he almost worshipped the student.

It wasn't until the student gave him a plausible explanation of the truth, including what the principle of the water vapor of the steamer was, that Shangguan Yi no longer believed in ghosts and gods, and even a few times Yuan Tiangang came to Chongwen Hall to perform his duties, he was reprimanded by Shangguan Yi and pretended to be a ghost!

What kind of temper does Yuan Tiangang have? How can you be scolded and not talk back? Why did he pretend to be a ghost, and what he did was praised even by His Royal Highness the Prince! So the two quarreled in front of the students, and then met, both of them looked at each other with their nostrils, and they didn't say a word.

Li Hong sighed helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "I have ordered Yangwu and Lian Tie to stop it, and Chang'an and other places should also receive the news of carrier pigeons, I hope we can prevent all the tragedies from happening." ”

"Your Highness, Yang Wu and Lian Tie are afraid that there are not enough people, do you want to obey the military department ......."

"Pull me down, because this matter will let my father charge me with rebellion? The military department can use it, but it is not used on this, even if my father does not punish me, this minister is gossiping, and my father will be embarrassed. Li Hong said with a headache.

"But as long as you can blow up the clouds and bring rain, won't Your Majesty be to blame?" Ren Yaxiang thought for a while and said confusedly.

"Say so, but it's hard to say that this thing is not good, what if it doesn't blow up the rain, but how many people are killed? But then again, Yang Wu and Lian Tie were also decided by me after careful consideration, if there is really a father or a mother

support, Yang Wu and Lian Tie came forward, they can withstand the pressure, and the military department is probably worse. Li Hong said as he began to receive information from Shangguan Yi's hand.

The carrier pigeon has long been prepared by Shangguan Yi and placed in various places of the Chongwen Pavilion students, but now without the assistance of the Shenji Camp firearms, they have no choice but to embezzle the heavenly thunder from the Taiyi City Medicinal Diet under Li Hong's order, and this matter, Li Hong is under huge pressure, and if he doesn't get it right, it will attract the real anger of his dragon father.

Although the medicinal food room is still under his control, if he wants to use the things inside, he must be approved by his dragon father, and now without consent, Li Hong embezzled it privately, if it doesn't blow up the rain and people die, then Li Hong will really suffer.

According to Li Hong's idea, use Kong Ming lanterns to install heavenly thunder and send it to a place close to the clouds with dry ice, but how to control the lead of the heavenly thunder depends on whether the people in the medicinal food room have skilled craftsmen and can grasp the time difference.

This is also why Chongwen Hall has nothing to do with taking a rabbit and putting it in the sky in the Kongming lantern, or putting other things in the sky, just to calculate the lifting time and speed of the Kongming lantern under different weights and different air pressures.

Looking at the notes in his hand that were untied from the legs of carrier pigeons, this time the cloud area even covered the entire Henan Province and Guanzhong area, and the lack of rain was mainly around Luoyang City and Chang'an, Li Hong still had to take care of it, don't blow up the rain, and then blow up a hole in the palace.

The weather factor is too unpredictable, he has nothing to do in Anxi, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, unlike here, there are too many people gathered, and it is not good to go to prison.

"Let's start, let's try it from the embankment of the Yellow River where I went yesterday, and tell them that as soon as the Kong Ming lantern is released, immediately ride a fast horse and go back, don't stay below and wait for the rain, the clouds spread slowly, but the coverage area is not something we can accurately measure with the naked eye." Li Hong watched Ren Yaxiang follow Guan Yi and admonished.

The military guards of the Ministry of War, together with the students in various places, are also equivalent to protecting the comfort of those students, because if those crazy people are disobedient, it is not impossible to really stand under the Kong Ming lantern and wait for the rain, and some people have even begun to think about holding a kite to guide the thunder, wanting to see if the thunder can be transmitted through the kite.

Li Hong has always been open to their style of dying, but he has to choose the right time to die, and if he can't die, he won't even be affected.

Shangguan Yi shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, these are all a generation of students who have been influenced by you, and now, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing they dare not do." To tell the truth, even the ministers are often frightened, if nothing else, just say this money, which group does not hold thousands of dollars in their hands, with money, they would rather gnaw on the cake every day, but also want to lure down the thunder and lightning, or drum up to get a Kong Ming lantern that can hold people to go to the sky to see. ”

"If you're not afraid of falling to death, let them get it." Li Hong said angrily.

"I didn't fall to death, but I jumped down from the top of the mountain with the so-called parachute on my back, and there were several people who broke their legs, but that's it, my legs were not good, so I ran out to test them again without telling my family." above

Guan Yi and Ren Yaxiang, while issuing orders to the outside according to Li Hong's orders, talked about the madness of the students of the Chongwen Pavilion.

"Remember that the medical expenses were given from the academy." Li Hong quietly put the message note sent by Lijingmen on the candle and lit it, looked at it turned into ashes, and said with a smile.
