Chapter 134: Disaster in the pass

The Celestial God held a huge blade and split the sky with earth-shattering divine power. The light of the lightning outlined this trace of the sky. The thunderclap that followed was like the heavens and the earth cracking, and it was the roar of the gods of wrath, which plunged the entire Guanzhong into boundless fear.

Yuwentai seemed to sense that something was wrong, he quieted down, hugged Yun Jiang but only turned his head to stare at the place where the lightning light appeared just now at the window. Although he could not see anything in the darkness, the lightning just now awakened a certain uneasiness in his heart.

Yun Jiang suddenly realized that the air around him didn't know when it was slowly getting colder. In this spring night, which should have been warm, she felt the cold that only in Chang'an winter. Of course, she also felt the uneasiness of Lord Lang's mentality, and broke out of Yuwentai's arms silently. Yuwentai seemed to be unconscious and let her go. Yun Jiang lit the lamp and took his robe. She was doing all this with extremely light hands and feet, barely making a sound, and did not dare to disturb Lord Lang.

The moment the lights in the study came on, Yu Wentai walked towards the door of the study. Yun Jiang followed and draped his robe over Yu Wentai. Yu Wentai walked to the door and snatched the placket from her hand without paying attention to it, and put on the robe haphazardly. At this time, both of them heard the sound of splashing water with a scoop.

Without any hesitation, Yu Wentai suddenly opened the door of the study, and immediately saw the scene of heavy rain falling from the sky outside. Ignoring the cold, he walked under the porch outside the door. Yun Jiang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't go out. She knew that Lord Lang must have remembered something important, and all she had to do at the moment was not to interfere with him. She just stood quietly inside the door and looked at Yuwentai's tall back.

Yuwentai listened to the rain, and after a long time, the uneasiness in his heart eased slightly. He had only just noticed that there was a little light in the distance in the rain curtain that stood out. Immediately recognized that it was the Buddhist hall of his wife, the eldest princess Yuan Yuying. The night is deep, and she hasn't slept yet?

It's not that the heavy rain is blocked, it's not that the distance is too far, it's just that he doesn't know that at this moment she can no longer be as obsessed with him as she was when she was in Luoyang. Turning around and seeing Yun Jiang still standing behind him, he walked towards the study and asked, "How long has it been raining?" ”

Yun Jiang was still worried about his hot forehead, and when she watched him come in, she carefully closed the door of the study, and secretly calculated in her heart and replied, "It's been more than ten days." She thought to herself that it was raining continuously these days, with more heavy rain and light rain without stopping, and there was always no break in between. Now that the spring season is already in full bloom, it is really not a good sign that it has suddenly become cold again.

Thinking like this in his heart, Yun Jiang still quietly followed Lord Lang inside. It wasn't until the door of the dormitory that he whispered softly, "It's late at night, so Lord Lang should go to bed first." After thinking about it, he said, "The slave and maid are on duty outside for the night, and if the lord of the lang is not safe, the slave and maid will go and ask the imperial doctor to come." ”

Yu Wentai waved her hand to signal that she didn't have to follow, and then went in on her own.

Until he couldn't see his back, Yun Jiang was still standing outside, and after a while, he heard his coughing sound again. His cough was shallow and muddy, hugging his chest and lungs, as if something was clogging his chest. Although Yun Jiang is not at ease, he can only stop there. I walked back to the door of the study very lightly, quietly listening to the heavy rain outside, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.

The rain kept falling, as if the sky was cracking and flooding.

Chang'an City is still prosperous with singing and dancing. How did the people of the market know that the emperor of Great Wei in the palace was seriously ill and had not recovered? How do you know that the prime minister who is really in charge of the future and destiny of the Great Wei world is also sick?

The trees that had withered in the heavy rain had returned to their winter slean form within a few days. The eldest princess Yuan Yuying stood at the door of the Buddhist hall and looked at the decaying scene in the garden. Nan Qiao walked up behind her lightly and whispered softly, "Your Highness, it's time to eat." ”

Yuan Yuying retracted her gaze from afar, and saw that the water on the ground in front of the eaves was already very deep, and the endless heavy rain landed and caused countless large blisters. Looking up at the sky, it was cloudy and uncertain, as if the heavy rain had never stopped, making people forget what it was like when the sky was clear.

"Withdraw." Yuan Yuying sighed in her heart and ordered, "The horse captain has been sick for a few days, I'll go and take a look." ”

Not hearing Nan Qiao's voice, Yuan Yuying turned around strangely. found that Nan Qiao was staring at the ground in front of her, and also followed her gaze, and found that there was a small white translucent particle on the ground at some point, and it actually rained hail.

Nan Qiao suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Your Highness forgives your sins, and the slave has lost her mind." She looked carefully at the Xiaoice hail and blurted out, "It's really strange that this weather is warm and cold, and it rains hail again." After speaking, he went according to the instructions of the eldest princess and ordered someone to bring rain gear.

At this time, Yuan Yuying saw Yun Jiang's shadow flashing at the door of the study from a distance. She felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, waved her hand to Nan Qiao, and went into the Buddhist hall by herself.

The hail rains for a long time, and the grains are small at first and then large. Yun Jiang has been taking a closer look at the door of the study in the heavy cold. In the past few days, Lord Lang has been almost groggy, waking up and sleeping, and the body heat does not subside, and he is not allowed to pass on to the imperial doctor, and no one is allowed to know, Yun Jiang only has himself secretly worried. Every time she woke up, Lord Lang would ask if the rain had stopped, so she was extra attentive.

"Prime Minister! Prime minister!! Anxious shouts came from the rain.

Yun Jiang saw a thin old man in a green shirt rushing towards him, followed by a young servant in the mansion holding a green Luo umbrella and chasing the elder to cover the rain. Although the servants are not common, they recognize the people in the mansion, and the elders are angry, and somehow they actually break into the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not only was there no one to stop him, but the servants also kept him out of the rain, which was very strange. It is even more strange that the servant, though he is younger, cannot catch up with the elder.

When he got closer to Yun Jiang, he saw that this elder was Mr. Su, Su Sui. The study in the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion was a quiet room when Yu Wentai was in charge of the mansion, and it is now also lived here many times. If you see people from other courts, there is a special courtyard in front of the mansion, so outsiders generally can't enter the back garden. Only the two generals Yu Jin and Zhao Gui can enter the back garden, and that is because of different feelings. Even Yu Jin and Zhao Gui rarely came, let alone broke in. The other is Mr. Su and Su Sui. But Mr. Su is a serious person, and generally only discusses with the prime minister in the courtyard in front, and only comes to the study in the back garden once or twice and is also invited by the prime minister. Breaking in in at this moment is neither like Mr. Su's personality nor Mr. Su's style of doing things.

Su Sui had already walked to the eaves, and before he could speak, the servant holding the umbrella behind him asked how the Lord Yun Jianglang was doing, saying that Mr. Su had something extremely important. Yun Jiang had already seen that Mr. Su's clothes were already half wet, and the hem of his robe was even more wet, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed to go in first to see Lord Lang, and then come out to reply after the report.

When Yun Jiang entered the study, Yu Wentai woke up, and when he heard Yun Jiang's report, he ordered to dress. Knowing that Su Xuan must have something important, he cheered up and ordered Yun Jiang to invite Mr. Su to come in and speak.

Su Sui entered the study, Yun Jiang retreated with great interest, and he didn't dare to go far, so he stood in the porch outside the door and waited. The servant didn't dare to enter the study, and he couldn't even see the face of Lord Lang, so he had already withdrawn.

As soon as the door of the study is closed, it is a world of its own, and it is extremely quiet inside, but the sound of the torrential rain outside is more clearly beaten on people's hearts because it is not masked.

Su Sui saw that although Yuwentai was sitting upright and neatly dressed, his sick appearance could not be modified in any way, so he sighed and said, "The prime minister is very sick, who is the right general of Guanzhong Longyou?" The words were not polite, and Su Sui's tone was also a little anxious.

Yuwentai didn't have the slightest anger, looking at Su Sui as if he didn't understand what he meant for a while, and asked in his eyes.

"Is the prime minister really sick and confused?" Su Xuan walked closer, but his body was obviously not as agile and agile as when he was running briskly just now.

"Is Mr. Su Kangtai?" Yu Wentai asked with concern, his voice slightly hoarse, followed by several coughs.

Su Sui has an old illness, but at this time, he doesn't appreciate Yuwentai's concern at all, "It doesn't matter whether Xia Guan Kangtai is or not. Whether Guanzhong Kangtai is the foundation of Dawei. Su Xuan sighed.

"Mr. is reasonable, my illness will not heal for a few days, I am confused, please Mr. for advice." Yu Wentai cheered up and asked very sincerely.

"In the second year of Gaozu in the Han Dynasty, there was a great hunger in Guanzhong, rice and ten thousand dollars, and even cannibalism, the Han Emperor ordered the people to eat Shu and Han ......" Su Xuan just opened his head, and Yun Jiang's urgent cry suddenly sounded outside, "Lord Lang!" Yun Jiang's voice was slightly timid, but it sounded anxious.

Of course, Su Sui is smart person heard it, and he stopped to look at Yu Wentai. Yuwentai knew that Yun Jiang was a measured person, so he groaned slightly, stood up and walked to the door of the study to open the door.

At a glance, I saw the general of the chariot and cavalry, Yu Jin, standing outside the door.

"The lord ......" Yu was about to speak and stopped.

Yu Wentai didn't speak, motioning for him to come in.

Yun Jiang looked at Lord Lang's face gloomy, and saw that the door of the study was closed again. She also felt that today was indeed different, Mr. Su and General Yu Jin were both stable people, but they coincidentally broke into the main study of Lang and did such a thing that was not in line with their character, what was the reason?

Yu Jin came in and saw Su Xuan, a little surprised, but almost a little overjoyed, which was a rare thing for him. Yu Jin said, "The lower official broke in rudely and disturbed the lord and Mr. Su. ”

Su Xuan saw that it was Yu Jin, and obviously frowned, "The general came at the right time." ”

Yu Wentai's body couldn't support it for a long time at this time, he sat down and said, "Mr. Su means that it has been raining heavily for several days, and it has been hailing again today, so I'm afraid ...... Under-harvesting? He was already nervous, but he didn't want to say such a result, so he had to ask such a question.

Hearing that he finally understood, Su Sui stared at Yu Wentai, and said in a difficult tone, "Prime Minister Mingjian." It's not that I'm afraid of ......" Su Xuan didn't seem to be able to bear to predict any bad results, but he still said bluntly with a little difficulty, "Yes, it must be." Guanzhong will definitely fall short of harvest this year. The prime minister tried to think, with such heavy rain and hail, can the wheat in the fields still be harvested? The catastrophe of cannibalism is just around the corner, not a rumor. Su Sui's voice was a little choked, and his worries had deeply rendered the air in the study, enveloping the three people on the scene in such a tense air.

Yu Wentai looked the same on the surface, but in fact, his heart trembled like a cliff falling, and he felt almost suffocated, so he coughed violently. He coughed heavily, but no one dared to ask him. Yun Jiang heard it outside, and she could only listen to it like this, she couldn't go in at this time, of course she could grasp this point. Su Xuan and Yu Jin stared at Yu Wentai nervously for a while, not knowing what to do.

For a long time, Yuwentai relieved himself, and slowly wheezing steadily.

Yu Jin said with a worried face, "The lord's illness is good and bad, and it never heals......" He wanted to say something, but Yu Wentai signaled him to stop talking.

Yu Wentai adjusted his breath and said to Su Sui, "The disaster is in front of you, and you can't give up on yourself." Tell me what to do? ”

Su Sui's eyebrows were about to be twisted together, and he thought for a while and said, "The Son of Heaven is newly established, and the society of the country is only stable at the beginning, so it should be to appease the people." The catastrophe is just around the corner, and in this fierce year, please ask the prime minister to reduce the rent first, and the forced labor should also be exempted. ”

"This is natural." Yuwentai already looked as usual. Not only that, but the millet of Taicang and the surplus wealth of the treasury should be used for the people. The difficulties of the people are the difficulties of the country. ”

Su Sui was greatly relieved and said, "This is very good, the benevolence of the prime minister is the blessing of the people." What is there to fear of catastrophes, cross them to rob **** Yue, scatter them with wealth, and gather people with people, and people will gather together to make politics peaceful. The prime minister is benevolent, the position of the Son of Heaven can be kept, and the Great Wei Society can be safe. ”

Yuwentai suddenly saw Yu Jin still frowning and sitting silently, knowing that something must be wrong, so he asked, "Brother Sijing, didn't he come here for the famine?" ”

Yu Shen said thoughtfully, "Sijing is a military general, and the things he worries about are naturally different from Mr. Su. ”

Su Sui's heart tightened, and he turned his head to look at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin said again, "Lord, the worry of Sijing is not in Chang'an, not in Guanzhong, but in Yecheng." ”

Yu Wentai stared at Yu Jin and didn't speak.

Su Sui naturally knew that Yu Jin would not send troops to fight Yecheng at this time.

"You mean, I'm afraid that the Gao clan knows about it and sends troops to attack?" Yuwentai is also a military general, of course he understands it in his heart.

Yu Jin nodded slightly, "The lord must not be on guard." ”

Su Sui also understood. This is a matter between each other, and if I don't go, it doesn't mean you won't come. If one day the "Great Wei" in the east took advantage of the gap to attack, the weakness of the national strength in this fierce year would really be a more terrible thing than a famine. But this is something he can't do to express his opinion.

Yu Jin and Su Sui both looked at Yu Wentai with blank eyes.

Yu Wentai suddenly smiled and said, "The matter has come to this, what's the use of worrying?" Even if the 'great general' led the army to recruit me, I just accepted it calmly. There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, and if the real temple is counted, he may not win, and I may not lose. Hearing his calm and calm tone, Su Xuan and Yu Jin breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Su Sui said with a smile, "The subordinate doesn't know how to use soldiers, but if you want to come, even if you come to the situation where you are in the middle of the Su Hou and the division is not full, the 'general' is also a long-distance attack by the labor division, and if you don't fight quickly, you may not be profitable." ”

Yu Wentai said with a smile, "Mr. Yan doesn't know how to use soldiers, isn't this the road to simplicity?" ”

Yu Jin was still worried, "Mr. Su understands this way, 'the general may not understand this way'." If you really come from afar, it will be a trouble anyway. ”
