Chapter 478: Heavy Rain

As Lu Zheng said, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the prince did mention to Huai'an and other subordinate officials that he wanted to set up an altar to ask for rain.

There was a great drought in Huai'an, and the prince was worried, and the subordinate officials were not much better.

The prince and Lu Zheng are both thunderous means, and now no one in Huai'an officialdom knows that the black gauze hat on his head is not so easy to wear.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposed to set up an altar to ask for rain, which was all for the good of the subjects of Huai'an City.

The prince smiled and accepted the compliments of the officials, and his face was kind.

Occasionally, their eyes met Lu Wen, who was sitting on the left-hand side, and they quickly exchanged glances, which only they understood each other, and immediately staggered.

Because the drought in Huai'an has not been alleviated, at the behest of His Royal Highness the Prince, the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, everything is simple, but not long after, the night banquet was dispersed, and the officials sent the prince away, and they were busy getting together to discuss the matter of asking for rain.

Although this matter was proposed by His Royal Highness the Prince, he can't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handle everything, right?

If that's the case, then what do they want them to do?

After the prince left the night banquet, he went directly to Lu Zheng.

If the drought in Huai'an is not resolved for a day, it will be impossible for Lu Zheng to really hide from Qingqing.

Knowing that they were going to discuss business, An Sheng took Qinghui and retreated.

It's not that she's interested, but she understands that there are some things that shouldn't be involved too much.

Master Puyun also wanted to leave, but was left behind by the prince, so he had to watch his apprentice and take the last piece of moon cake stuffed with jujube paste and leave.

What the prince asked Lu Zheng to discuss with Master Puyun was nothing more than setting up an altar to ask for rain.

As he spoke, he found that he hadn't eaten enough, so he pinched a small moon cake and put it in his mouth.

So, after the moon cakes with jujube paste filling were taken away, Master Puyun watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eat up all the moon cakes with mung bean paste that he liked second.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to the night banquet, right?

Master Puyun almost couldn't help but be suspicious.

The prince was unaware of the true intention that Master Puyun's gaze wanted to express, and after eating all three moon cakes, he wiped his hands, took a sip of tea, and arched his hand towards the master very humbly: "Master thinks that what Gu Fang just said, is there anything wrong?" ”

The prince really respects Master Puyun.

Not to mention the crown prince, even the emperor and the queen mother who are far away in Yejing have great respect for Master Puyun.

The prince asked Master Puyun's opinion, and he was really sincere and not adulterated at all.

However, Master Puyun's gaze seems a little strange?

The crown prince noticed that the master's gaze was different, and he was about to ask a question, but he heard the master say: "His Royal Highness the prince has arranged carefully, and you are blessed by auspicious qi all over your body, and you will definitely be able to turn danger into a disaster, and your wishes will come true." ”

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The master said so, isn't that the drought in Huai'an solvable?

However, Master Puyun didn't say any more, and the prince couldn't ask questions, so he could only put this thought aside for the time being.

The moonlight gradually shifted, and the hour was not early, so the prince waved goodbye to Master Puyun and left.

As for the henchmen?

The prince said that he could stay wherever he wanted, he couldn't control it.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was rare for the wind to rise, and the hot air that permeated the city of Huai'an was finally diluted a little.

After nightfall, a thunderclap woke everyone who was asleep.

Everyone was awakened by the thunder, and after waking up, many people ran out to see the sky before they even had time to put on their coats.

When the raindrops of beans fell down, Huai'an City was completely boiling.

Many men in single clothes ran into the rain and shouted to the sky, and some children broke free from their mother's shackles and ran barefoot into the heavy rain.

For three months, the rain did not fall, and this belated heavy rain finally washed away the sorrow that lingered on the heads of the people of Huai'an City.

An Sheng also got up, but he didn't rush into the rain to cheer, but just put on his coat, tied up his hair, and stood at the door with Qinghui.

Lu Zheng came quickly.

The light was unknown at night, but An Sheng could still feel that it was Lu Zheng who was hurrying from the end of the corridor.

"It's raining." An Sheng waved his hand at Lu Zheng and smiled extraordinarily brightly.

"Yes, it's raining." Lu Zheng walked up to An Sheng and stood still, blocking the moisture outside for her.

It's finally raining, and this rain is just in time.

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for rain, this heavy rain began to fall, whether it was really providence or coincidence, this is a thing to be happy about.

However, with sudden heavy rainfall, there are also various potential dangers.

An Sheng knew that Lu Zheng was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep again tonight, and when he saw that he was neatly wearing a sword and obviously going out, he advised: "Be careful." ”

"Don't worry," Lu Zheng nodded, and the gaze in his eyes softened, "Go back quickly, carefully pass the water vapor over you, it's sick." ”

An Sheng: "......" Why has she always had the illusion that she seems to be a paper paste in Lu Zheng's eyes since she woke up that day?

Qinghui saw that An Sheng was speechless by Lu Zheng's words again, and at the same time, she secretly laughed and persuaded her: "Childe, you go back first, Ming'er is still busy." ”

In order to prevent the heavy rain from causing typhoid fever to the people of Huai'an, Miss will definitely accompany the master tomorrow to distribute medicine to the people.

Although heavy rain can relieve the drought, there is no guarantee that it will not bring disaster.

Qinghui followed An Sheng out this time and learned a lot, and I thought deeply about what An Sheng said, to prevent trouble before it happens.

An Sheng went back to the house, the doors and windows were closed, and Lu Zheng left with confidence.

When heavy rain arrives suddenly, the first thing to pay attention to is not to let water accumulate in the city, let alone let the flood control fortifications have problems.

No one knows when this rain will fall, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it's not small.

Fortunately, Huai'an has always done a good job of defending against floods, and Lu Zheng took someone to see it in person, and confirmed that there was no problem with this fortification to withstand the heavy rain for ten days, so he was relieved.

This rain has been raining for three days, and it will stop.

The thirsty land was full of water, and the heat of Huai'an City seemed to be taken away by this rain all of a sudden.

At the end of August, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led everyone to set off for Beijing, and the subjects of Huai'an took the umbrella of all the people, and sent them directly to the city gate for more than 30 miles, and then returned to the city under the persuasion of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Before leaving, the prince dismounted and bowed to the Huai'an subjects who came to see him off.

When the officials and the people saw this, they all knelt down and returned the salute.

At this time, I heard the prince say to the officials of Huai'an: "I hope that you will put the people first in everything, take the stability of the society as your own responsibility, and jointly build a prosperous era of our Nanzhao!" ”
