Chapter 14: Li Chengqian's jealousy

The horse's hooves galloped, the dust outside Chang'an City was flying, and a horse rode alone for thousands of miles. This is a messenger between Chang'an and the disaster area, this is not a martial arts novel, there is no flying pigeon to send a message, and in this era of environmental protection where eagles are flying all over the sky, if the pigeon flies in the sky, wouldn't it be cheap for these predators in the air? Therefore, the war horse carrying the red feather has become the fastest way to transmit the message, but it has killed countless war horses and exhausted countless messengers. But for the sake of military affairs, these sacrifices are inevitable.

"Report ......" dragged on a long note, and the messenger turned over and dismounted, and rushed towards the Suzaku Gate.

The Praetorian Guards at the head of the city saw the flying red feathers from afar, so the rattling of the door rang out, the Suzaku Gate opened, and the dusty messenger completed his mission, and handed over the sealed letter in his hand to the guards guarding the city, and fainted with satisfaction.

The Praetorian Guards who received the urgent report did not dare to slack off, so they rushed towards the direction of the Lizheng Palace, where Li Er was discussing the flood with the important ministers of the court.

It has been more than half a month since the two princes went to the disaster relief, during this time, the news that has been coming constantly is so heavy, countless urgent reports are telling the disaster of the strict zhòng, there is no trace of gratifying news, perhaps a little consolation to Li Er and the ministers of the court is the prince Li Chengqian's expression during this time, this prince His Royal Highness did not live up to Li Er's high expectations, after arriving in the disaster area, the disaster relief work was arranged very steadily, Even later, he personally rowed a raft to save people. This is really commendable for a pampered child of the royal family, and even the successor of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

But that's just the norm. There are not many bright colors, and Li Er is still a little worried about Li Chengqian's previous mistakes. Therefore, Li Chengqian's appearance is not enough for him to calm his anger, and he does not have the slightest praise for his appearance. It's just a normal hum to say that I know.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the disaster situation in the Huai River area has reached the time of urgency, the Huai River has burst its banks in three places, this is the source of the three disasters, and it must be a timely bet, in the past, I and you have neglected the management of this waterway, so that the people suffer, this is our fault, so from today onwards. I will keep filial piety for three days for these disaster-stricken people! Li Er sat on the dragon chair and announced his decision in a deep voice, and immediately a chamberlain came forward to put on the white clothes that had been prepared for him, and the mountains and rivers on his head were also respectfully removed, and a white veil was wrapped around his forehead.

"Majesty!" The ministers all knelt on the ground, Li Er actually made such a move, which was really beyond everyone's expectations, this emperor really made them feel admired from the bottom of their hearts, the emperor wore filial piety for the people, this is something that has never happened in ancient times, it can be said that it is the first time since the beginning of the world. Who is this? He is the true master of the Tang Dynasty, and countless people in the Tang Dynasty are his people, and within this empire, he is the supreme king. But now this king wears filial piety for his people. Shou Li, what do they do if they are courtiers? There was no other way but to get down on your knees.

So in the highest power hall of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of princes and princes knelt down in the dark. No one dared to look directly at the man standing on the nine-tiered steps, dressed in plain clothes and wearing a white veil on his head, not even those fierce generals who killed people in their hands on the battlefield. At this time, they also felt a dignified momentum, suppressing the force and evil aura that they were proud of.

"Report ......" At this moment, a guard soldier rushed in with a letter with red feathers glued to the vermilion fire paint.

"Initiation of the Majesty. There is a new situation reported in the Huaihe disaster area! "It was a timely rain for the Praetorian Guards to rush in at this time, and I don't know how much gratitude he received at this moment.

"Oh! Present! Li Er said indifferently, and then he sat back on the throne. Looking around with a cold face, he was really haggard during this time, and the eldest son's unkindness made him sad, but what worried him even more was the flood this time, I don't know how many people will be displaced and become refugees, I don't know how many families will be destroyed in this disaster, and how many families will be destroyed. These people are the foundation of his country, the foundation of their nobles, their noble and wealthy lives. It is not for him not to worry about it, not to bother his mind. However, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from the disaster area, and he, as the king of a country, must not go to these dangerous places lightly. Therefore, Li Er is also powerless, and just hopes that the two princes sent out can make a difference.

Opening the letter in his hand, Li Er looked at it carefully, and watched his face change, becoming very strange, a little happy, but a little annoyed. There is even a faint blue tendon on his forehead.

But at this time, the ministers were all kneeling on the ground, but no one appreciated his face-changing performance. Li Er is also worthy of being the king of a country, and in this short half of the time, he suppressed the anger in his heart to the deepest part of his heart: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is finally news coming!" Which of the three places where the Huai River burst its levees has been blocked! Ha ha...... God bless Datang! Li Er laughed out loud, his voice shocked the entire hall, and he laughed so arrogantly, as if he was showing his existence to the heavens.

"God bless the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty Xià Shengming!" The ministers began to shout and began to pat Li Er's ass.

"This is not my Shengming, this is a miracle that my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty exchanged for their lives, and this is the result of God protecting my Datang! A statue of a dragon's head suddenly rose on the edge of the Huai River, blocking the section of the river that burst the embankment! Li Er concealed something, but he still told the truth, such a big stone sculpture can't hide it.

"The dragon's head has stopped the flood! This is a sign of the Holy Monarch's rule of the world, Your Majesty, the prosperity of the world is just around the corner! Ling Hudi, the third-grade official in charge of the Tang Dynasty Rite Department, stepped forward in a purple robe to congratulate.

"The ministers are His Majesty, and he is the Tang Dynasty! Majesty xià Shengming, the Tang Dynasty will last forever! "The ministers' ability to pat on the back is getting better and better with time, not to mention that Li Er, who was still sensationalizing before and wearing filial piety for the people, grinned at this time.

"Spread my will, reward Li Kuan, the king of Chu, with 100 catties of gold, 1,000 horses of Ayaluo, a pair of jade Ruyi, and a pair of white jade bottles!" Li Er said about the reward, and at this time the officials below knew that this matter must have been done by Li Kuan, the king of Chu, this mysterious prince has been away from the court all these years, so in addition to a few royal relatives who are close to the royal family, as well as the parents of Li Kuan's group of younger brothers. The rest of the nobles had only seen him a few times in the number of court meetings. But no one underestimated him, because his achievements were not talkative, but really fought on the battlefield, but at the age of fifteen, he had already participated in the two heavy battles of the northern attack on the Turks and the western expedition to Tuyuhun. Especially the latter, everyone understands that Tuyuhun can be said to be the plague of the extinction of the dead race this time is made by this little young prince, but no one knows how he did it, and everyone can't help but stand on end in their hearts, if this prince goes crazy and comes to their family's fiefdom like this, then whether it is a big family or a new noble family, it can't afford it.

Therefore, everyone is even more respectful of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, which also makes many people not know Li Kuan very well, and this time they really want to know about this mysterious prince.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood among the ministers, listening to Li Er's reward to Li Kuan, and couldn't help but twitch, thinking that Li Chengqian's appearance was really too far behind Li Kuan, and even he felt that his eldest nephew could not compete with his second brother, and it was not a grade at all.

The DPRK and China don't know about the various undercurrents caused by this matter Li Kuan and Li Chengqian, the two little guys who are struggling again, but Li Chengqian is losing his temper at this time, because he is busy saving people during this time, and he has almost run all over this piece of Zeguo, and in the past two days, he found that the water level in this affected area is declining, and the speed of decline is very fast, and it seems that there is less general water flow, which makes him very surprised. Because he couldn't figure out why the flood that was surging before had suddenly decreased at this time, could it be ......

Li Chengqian guessed in his heart that there was a gap that was blocked, so who would be the one who blocked the gap? He is not a fool, so he naturally knows how much credit this gap is, as long as he has this credit as a foundation, then his chances of getting Li Er's forgiveness are much greater.

So he sent someone to investigate, but the result was that he was very shocked, very angry and uneasy, because it was his second brother who blocked the gap, the guy who knocked him to the ground, the guy who slapped him in the face, what should I do? Li Kuan has established such a big credit, so he seems to be such a failure compared to him, and his father will forgive himself? What should I do?

The same Li Chengqian still has infinite jealousy in his heart, because plugging the gap is not Li Kuan's proper measures to go, or how much effort he has made, but a mysterious stone sculpture appeared from the underground like a miracle, blocking the bank of that section of the embankment, how could he not encounter such a thing Li Chengqian? Could it be that God is hinting at something through that stone carving?

Li Chengqian was jealous at the same time, but also felt a burst of uneasiness, what would his father think if he knew about this matter? If Li Kuan uses this matter to make a fuss, then what should he do? Thinking of these, some thoughts involuntarily surfaced in Li Chengqian's heart, making his handsome face constantly become hideous, but after a while, it turned into a guilty look, and the constantly changing look showed his inner struggle.
