In recent days, Li Tai, the king of Wei, was a little disappointed, and the cultural meeting that was supposed to be held in Wei Wangchi was canceled due to heavy rain.

Originally, this was a good opportunity to show his grace, make a name for himself, recruit talents, and seek revenge, but it was all lost because of a heavy rain.

Even the Wei Wangchi, which he was proud of, and the huge mansion have now become a pond swamp country, and grace has become a joke.

What bad luck!

Li Tai was inevitably a little depressed and wanted to find an opportunity to remedy it, but there was no suitable opportunity. After all, the recent autumn rains have been continuous, the floods have become disasters, and everywhere is busy with disaster relief.

Under Liu Xuan's advice, he originally wanted to ask for an order to go to the disaster relief, such as condolences to the people affected by the disaster, giving porridge and food, and asking for warmth in the cold. This can be said to be sharing the worries of the monarch's father, and it can also win the reputation of loving the people like sons among the people.

It's a pity that before Li Tai could speak, Li Shimin issued a holy decree asking him to prepare for the literary meeting, and invited all the court officials, children of the family, and talented people in the Central Plains to gather in Mingde Palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It seems to be a grand event, but Li Tai is not excited, and even a little lost, his father personally presides over it, what does it have to do with him?

When the flood was raging, my father wanted to hold a literary meeting, and invited scholars from the Central Plains and talents from Shandong. Thinking of the crops in the Imperial Garden, Xie Yi was serving, Li Tai had a bad premonition, and he was afraid that he couldn't embarrass Xie Yi now.

Li Tai sighed lightly, a little disappointed. At this time, the chamberlain came to report: "Your Highness, Erlang Jun of the Hejian County Wangfu asks to see you." ”

"Li Chonghui? Did he come to Luoyang? ”

"Yes, I heard that I was escorting the princess to visit the king of Hejian County."

Li Tai groaned slightly, and ordered, "Please! ”

……

On a high hill outside Luoyang City, a thin middle-aged man looked at the surging Luoshui, listening to the narration of a person behind him, his brows furrowed.

"That's all there are rumors?"

"Yes, the main rumor is the revenge of the Dragon King of Jinghe, and the punishment of the Xuanwu Gate Change......"

The tall and thin man's brown eyes rolled slightly, and he muttered, "Isn't there anything else?" ”

"Uh...... What does the host want to hear? ”

"What did Li Shimin do in Luoyang in the past? But it's only been more than ten years, has everyone in the world forgotten about it? Watching him flaunt his might and be indifferent? ”

"What the host meant...... But in this way, will it startle the grass and snakes, and it will not be conducive to our hiding tracks? ”

The tall and thin man said disapprenously: "What are you afraid of? The muddier the water, the easier it is to hide your tracks and take advantage of the chaos. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

The tall and thin man sneered: "I heard that Li Shimin is going to feast guests in the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can he be busy if he doesn't have some excitement?" Ha ha! ”

……

"It's getting more and more interesting, Jinghe Dragon King, Xuanwu Gate...... Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Yang Tong, the former king of Sui Yue, gods and ghosts, all appeared. The masked woman held a withering Du Ruo in her hand and smiled ghostly.

"Yes, people are terrible, but Luoyang is not lively now, and there are more and more sayings." The stout middle-aged man said: "The most distressing thing about Li Shimin a few days ago is probably the revival of the old affairs of Xuanwumen.

However, in the past two days, some people said that the souls of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande refused to accept the defeat to Li Shimin, so they made waves. Some people also claim that outside the Luoyang Palace, they saw the figure of Yang Tong, the former king of Sui Yue, who can be described as a ghostly ghost, and all kinds of gods and monsters are haunted. ”

"Really, the Midyear Festival has passed, and hundreds of ghosts have appeared." The masked woman teasingly abused: "But the hundred ghosts Luoyang Xing, I'm afraid that Li Shimin has a headache." ”

The middle-aged man said leisurely: "The truth doesn't seem to be the case, there is not even a secret spy in the streets and alleys to track down, Li Shimin doesn't seem to care about this matter at all, what kind of literary meeting will be held on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the ministers will be feasted." ”

The masked woman doubted: "Yes, this matter is a bit strange, and it is easy to be criticized when the flood is flooded. So...... Li Shimin's move should not be as simple as a banquet, but I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd? ”

"It's better to be careful, Li Shimin dares to be so indifferent, he must be confident, and he is in control." The middle-aged man said leisurely: "However, since some people can't hold back, let them help explore the truth and reality." ”

"Hmm!" The masked woman said leisurely: "By the way, Li Xiaogong's wife and children came to Luoyang." ”

"The gentleman?"

The masked woman said in a distant voice: "Yes, I originally prepared a big gift for him in Chang'an, and he was about to deliver the goods, but I didn't expect him to come to Luoyang." ”

"You're not going to ...... It's not worth it to be scared because of such a small role, right? ”

The masked woman squeezed the defeated Du Ruo hard in the palm of her hand, her brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes suddenly cold and compelling, and she said hatefully: "Little role? How can the dignified King of Hejian be a small character? However, compared to Li Shimin, he is much worse. But don't forget, you and I are in the situation we are in, who is the initiator? ”

"After many years...... You still can't put it down. ”

"Of course I can't let it go, until now I remember the ugly face that deceived me......" Thinking of the past, the masked woman's eyes were red, and she said angrily: "Don't you hate?" If not, how can we come together with sickness? ”

The middle-aged man's heart trembled, and he reached out to hold the masked woman's fragrant shoulder, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't want to be pushed away.

The masked woman raised her arm, revealing a white wrist, holding up the almost crumpled Du Ruo, and asked leisurely, "Do you like her?" You don't care what she looks like, her past? ”

"Don't care!" The middle-aged man's answer was categorical.

"But I care...... Revenge, as long as that person is dead, her heart will live, as long as you don't dislike it, I will marry you......" As she spoke, the masked woman's delicate body trembled slightly, and two lines of tears slid down her face......

……

Maybe it was not enough moisture, or maybe it was a strong north wind, and by the beginning of August, the heavy rain that had lasted for more than 20 days finally stopped.

Seeing the long-lost sunshine, many people in Luoyang City cried with joy. It's just that... There is no harvest of autumn grain, and the houses are destroyed in the water, which makes people want to cry without tears.

The government of Luozhou carried out disaster relief in an orderly manner, distributing food and cloth, and helping people rebuild their houses. In short, it is to try to appease the feelings of the common people and strive not to create any new chaos.

This move is actually quite reasonable, as long as the people are appeased, even if there are more rumors, what can they do?

It's just that in such a situation, a major event seems to be very discordant - Li Tai, the king of Wei, wants to hold a literary meeting in the Mingde Palace, and the emperor Li Shimin takes the opportunity to feast the ministers, the talents of the Central Plains, and the scholars of Shandong are also invited.

The flood in the eastern capital has just passed, and the people's food and clothing are still not available, but at this time there is a feast in the palace, is it really good?

When some officials learned the news, they immediately wrote to dissuade the emperor from his extravagance.

But this time, Li Shimin, who is good at accepting advice, did not listen to anything. Even if the Yellow River in Shaanzhou bursts, Heyang is full of Zeguo for dozens of miles, and it is unmoved.

It was only ordered that the province and the local government should organize manpower to block the breach and do their best to relieve the disaster, and as for the banquet, it was still done correctly.

For a time, the rumors of the emperor's immorality were once again rampant, and the rumors of various versions before were even more turbulent......
