Chapter 369: Rainstorm from the Sky

The emperor also said that this method was good, so he asked the princes to come to the stage to compete, and the county lord would be able to marry Qin and Jin.

The king of Wei and the crown prince did not move, watching several princes jump onto the competition platform, the expressions of the two were solemn, and the other was light and light. The following applause is bursting, all the princes of the royal family have been taught by special people, so their skills are not bad.

The emperor looked at the dragon's heart with great joy, and stroked the beard under his chin from time to time.

Just when the fight was in full swing, suddenly a dark cloud floated over, and the clear sky became dark in an instant. Everyone looked up at the sky and couldn't help but be restless.

Gonggong Li hurriedly ran over, "Your Majesty, it looks like it's going to rain this day, you better hurry back to the palace." ”

As he spoke, the raindrops the size of beans had already fallen, and there was a sense of pain when they hit people. The emperor, under the protection of his guards and Gonggong Li, retreated in embarrassment.

The other ministers also left the scene with their families, and the scene was very chaotic for a while, and many people fell to the ground and were directly stepped on by the people behind them. The king of Wei was about to leave, but when he saw this scene, he stopped and ordered the guards and eunuchs to maintain order, but anyone who shouted and rushed at will was immediately arrested and imprisoned.

Under the command of King Wei, everyone withdrew from the square safely, and at this time, the heavy rain had become a piece, and nothing could be seen clearly a few zhang away, like a fairyland.

The emperor returned to the dormitory and changed into clean clothes, and the crown prince and several princes waited outside, asking about the emperor's physical condition, and each one was more and more worried.

The emperor's eyes swept through the crowd, but he didn't see King Wei, and couldn't help but be a little displeased, "Where did King Wei go?" "All his sons have come to care about themselves, but King Wei is not there, could it be that the other party is not taking himself seriously?

A eunuch came out and replied, "Back to Your Majesty's words, due to the sudden rainstorm, the square is chaotic, and the King of Wei is presiding over the order and evacuating the crowd. ”

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, his eyes looked at the eaves of the corridor, his eyes were thoughtful, "Such a heavy rain ......" knew that he had misunderstood Queen Wei, and his unhappiness turned into worry.

The eunuch heard the emperor's unfinished words, and said at the right time, "The servants have persuaded the prince, but the prince said that if he is not there, many things will be born, and maybe there will be people who will be trampled to death because of the chaos, so they will not leave." ”

The emperor's heart moved slightly, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "King Wei is good, he is my son, and he should do this." ”

The prince listened harshly, and secretly lowered his gaze, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Why didn't he think of this method, King Wei was really the best at pretending.

At first, everyone thought it was an ordinary heavy rain, but it wasn't until two hours later, the rain didn't stop, and the emperor realized that something was wrong, and Jingzhao Mansion rushed into the palace wet, and as soon as he came in, he knelt down, raised his face full of water, and didn't know if it was rain or tears, "Your Majesty, the moat has swelled, the river in the city has burst, several houses have collapsed, and several people have suffered." ”

The emperor stood up abruptly and glared angrily, "If something happens in the city, you don't want to make up for it, why are you here to cry?" ”

"The rain is too big, and Weichen really can't do it." Jing Zhaoyin grabbed the ground with his head, and the rain on his body left a puddle of water stains on the ground.

The emperor paced the room irritably with his hands behind his back, and several princes sat quietly, not daring to make a sound.

After a while, the emperor suddenly turned his head and said word by word, "Send officers and soldiers to inspect everywhere, if any houses collapse, they will all be sent to the government, go quickly!" ”

The emperor under this rain was quite chilled.

I vaguely remember that decades ago, there was also such a heavy rain one day, resulting in heavy losses in many places, and it didn't take long for a sentence to spread among the people, saying that the reigning emperor at that time angered the heavens, which led to the heavy rain pouring for several days, and finally forced the emperor to make an edict against himself.

The emperor stiffened his face, at this time, he didn't want such words to come out of the people again.

However, things often go the other way around, and the more you don't want to come, the more you come.

The heavy rain fell from day to night, and from night to the next day, and there was still no tendency to stop, and the emperor did not sleep well all night, listening to the sound of the rain outside, and opened his eyes until dawn.

The next day, the prefectures and counties near the capital sent people to report the disaster.

“…… The entire county seat of Wanxian County was devastated, 18 villages were flooded, and hundreds of people were trapped ......"

"Several people have died in the flood in Zhou County......"

"Enough!" The Emperor pressed his forehead and let out a loud cry.

There was finally silence below.

The emperor walked up to the ministers who had rushed over overnight with his hands behind his back, and stared at them one by one, "This is a natural disaster, what can I do, you ask me one by one, why don't I want the heavy rain to stop immediately!" ”

In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor's roar echoed, and the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

At this time, a minister suggested that if the wizard intervened, otherwise the rain would continue to fall, and I was afraid that life would be ruined.

The Emperor pondered for a moment, then agreed to the minister's proposal.

So, the wizard was quickly summoned out of the prison, and the emperor forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and asked, "Recently, I was born with a vision, and the rain has not stopped, I guess Mr. already knows, I wonder if Mr. has any way?" ”

"That depends on what His Majesty wants."

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and once again walked down from the dragon throne, and asked earnestly, "Naturally, I want the heavy rain to stop and spare the people of Limin, if it is my fault, I am willing to bear it alone." ”

The wizard's face was embarrassed, and the emperor couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Sir, can't you do it?" ”

Seeing a flash of disappointment in the emperor's eyes, the wizard weighed it and said, "The grass people may be able to give it a try." ”

In fact, he was completely unsure, but if he said it directly, the emperor would inevitably be disappointed in him, and maybe he would be angry with himself.

The prince's heart was also temporarily relaxed, as long as the wizard could gain the trust of his father, it would be like a tiger for him. At that time, let the wizard say more good things to him in front of his father, and he is not afraid that his father will not be biased towards him.

Thinking of this, the prince glanced at King Wei proudly, and saw that King Wei looked calm, as if he didn't care at all, which made the prince grind his teeth secretly.

The sorcerer agreed, and the emperor immediately asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare the things needed, first of all, a high platform, then all kinds of paper candles, and finally a few people to guard under the tower.

The prince whispered to the wizard, "Is the gentleman sure?" ”

The wizard didn't need to hide it from the prince, so he said honestly, "The rain is a celestial phenomenon, and my way to stop the rain is to go against the sky, and it depends on whether God agrees with it." ”
