I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt in my heart, in her previous life, Yan Bing and a few of them sacrificed their lives for her, but she didn't know anything about them.

They were all prepared for her by her mother, and they have been by her side since she was a child, but in her last life, she trusted cardamom the most, and she never cared about them.

The sky was unusually gloomy, and the pouring rain did not stop until noon the next day.

Just when everyone thought it wouldn't fall, a thunderbolt swept across the sky, and the bean-sized raindrops quickly fell again.

Stop and stop, stop and stop, so for two days in a row, the rain is finally lighter, but it still doesn't stop.

For a while, it was rainy and rainy, and it was obviously a hot summer, but it made people feel a trace of autumn chill in advance.

At first, everyone thought it was normal, thinking that the climate would be fine in three or five days, but they were a little panicked when they saw that this situation had not stopped for seven or eight consecutive days.

Kyoto's wealthy and powerful families are okay, and the underground drainage ditches are well repaired, and apart from the rain all day long, which brings some inconvenience to daily life, the other effects are not too big.

It's just that those civilians who make a living from farming are not so good, although there is still surplus grain at home, but all the grain that has not been harvested in the field has been flooded, and the hard work of the family for half a year is in vain.

Seeing that the rain doesn't look like it's going to stop, if it goes on like this, it will still be able to get by this year, but what should we do next year?

This is not the case in Kyoto, but the situation outside the city is even worse, especially in the surrounding suburbs, where the lower villages have been swept away by the floods, causing numerous casualties.

The next day, in the main hall of the court meeting, hundreds of officials were arranged in an orderly manner, but all of them looked a little unsightly.

There was silence in the court, and Ning Sheng, the lord of Daxi, was high on the dragon chair.

He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing Guan Min, about forty years old, with a long face, a cold complexion, a pair of slender and deep eyes overlooking the entire court, and his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts, and his power was unparalleled.

"Ministers see the saints, may the saints live long live, long live, long live."

With a sharp shout from the inner servant, the civil and military officials knelt on the ground in unison, and the sound resounded inside and outside the court.

"Zhong Aiqing, let's get even." Ning Sheng glanced at the crowd, waved his sleeves, and exuded a kingly aura in his gestures.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Everyone said in unison.

"In recent days, it has been raining for days, and many surrounding areas have been flooded, and the danger continues.

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall was silent, and Ning Sheng slapped it on the dragon chair when he saw this with slightly gloomy eyes: "Why don't you even dare to speak, aren't you very good at speaking on weekdays, but you are dumb at critical moments?" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are afraid." All the ministers bowed their heads and fell to the ground.

"How many people have been displaced in a breath, and you, as an official of the imperial court, can't share your worries for me, and when something happens, you only know fear, what do I want you for, what do the people want you to do."

Ning Sheng's eyes as sharp as an eagle stared at the hundred officials in the hall for a moment, his face became more and more ugly, and his brows were tightly wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

Look at what kind of ministers he has raised, one by one does not know how to share worries for the monarch and solve the sufferings of the people, but only knows that it is useless at a critical juncture.

Just as his stomach was on fire, an old voice finally sounded.

"Your Majesty, the minister has his own music." Yang took a step forward first.

"Quasi-play." With a wave of the bright yellow sleeves embroidered with the golden dragon, Ning Sheng's face finally softened.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is a top priority, and he should first promulgate a disaster relief policy, send a messenger to inspect the disaster situation, in order to comfort the people, and then cooperate with local officials to resettle the victims, open a warehouse and release grain to save the people from fire and water."

Yang Xian's face was calm, and his old face was full of ravines.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Soon a minister stepped forward and chimed in.

"Who do you think is the most appropriate person to send?" Ning Sheng stroked his forehead and looked at the people below with a smile.

Yang Xian immediately bowed and said: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is kind-hearted, and what is even more rare is that he has a pure heart, and Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is the most suitable candidate." ”

"What Lord Yang said is extremely true." Another minister stood up, and only after saying half a sentence changed the tone: "It's just that His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been weak and sick since he was a child, rarely goes out, and this trip is very hard, His Majesty thinks that it is more appropriate for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince is young and promising, and his intelligence is outstanding, especially since he entered the household department, he has been conscientious, not only has he never made a mistake, but he has also made a lot of contributions." ”

"The minister also thinks that the four princes are more suitable." Another minister stepped forward and chimed in.

"Seconded by the Minister"

……

The fourth prince, Ning Rui, just stood quietly in the crowd, his face was very calm, but the trembling hands under his wide sleeves revealed what he was thinking.

If this is done well, it will not only gain more support, but also a good opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people.

At this moment, the officials in the hall were silent, and they vied with each other to express their opinions, but only a few people remained silent.

Most of these people recommended the fourth prince Ning Xi, and a small number of people recommended the fourth prince Ning Rui, and there were even the fifth prince and the sixth prince.

Ning Sheng listened to Baiguan's reply and was silent, his face hooked up with a touch of irony, gently tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, and said lightly: "Ji Xiang thinks so." ”

Ji An was unaware that the emperor would suddenly ask him, and he was slightly stunned.

Although he didn't care about the affairs of the inner house, he still had a very sensitive sense of political smell, and he just discussed the important matters of the flood, but the deep meaning of this was self-evident, and he immediately stood up and said without blinking: "Weichen thinks that several princes are dragons and phoenixes among people, but the ministers are not very familiar with several princes, if you really want to say, the minister thinks that the four princes are a suitable candidate, after all, the four princes are more familiar with the affairs of the court, and with experience, it will be easier to deal with things." ”

The words are to the point and ingenious, as if there is really no selfishness, just starting from the surface of the matter.

Ning Sheng lowered his eyes, no longer embarrassed him, and moved his gaze to Ning Rui, who was dressed in dark green robes, and said with a complicated expression: "Oh? What do you think? ”

"Thank you for my father's love, but my son is afraid that he is not qualified enough and is difficult to compete."

"In this way, Zhong Aiqing still has a suitable candidate?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say, over the years, under the governance of Your Majesty, I have been in peace and security, and the wind and rain have been smooth, and now there is a sudden natural disaster, and the minister is afraid that this is the shock of God, why don't Your Majesty follow the example of the first emperor and sacrifice to the sky to show his sincerity."

"Shock? Aiqing is talking about my loss of morality. ”

"Your Majesty is angry, what the minister means"

"Lord Yu's words are very contradictory, since Your Majesty's holy candle is shining, and I don't know why to anger the heavens,"
