"Let's see if there is rain in Dengzhou today." Shen Xihe knew Xiao Huayong's worries, since the eunuch could make mistakes, the one Shen Xihe was looking for, the person he didn't know at all might not be wrong.

Shen Xihe wants to take advantage of the rain to amnesty the harem and let go of the palace people, if the other party's premonition is also wrong, and there is no rain when people are released, it will have a great impact on Shen Xihe's prestige, and His Majesty may also make some fuss about this matter.

Shen Xihe didn't want to give up such a great opportunity to clear the harem with lightning speed.

Missing this opportunity, she has already shown her minions like His Majesty, and when the matter in Dengzhou is resolved, His Majesty will free his hand, and it will not be easy for her to firmly control the harem in the palm of her hand.

Xiao Huayong tilted his head slightly, looked at her with dark eyes, and was silent for a long time but did not say much.

The rain fell, Shen Xihe's face softened, and she couldn't help but walk out of the house, standing under the eaves, blowing the cool breeze with a damp breath, listening to the sound of the rain falling, her mood improved for no reason.

Xiao Huayong, who followed her, actually didn't like rainy days in the past, for a long time rainy days meant poisonous hair, and the body would be cold with the humid air.

It is rare to see the smoke and rain in the haze, she stands in the wind, her eyebrows are stretched, she is happy to look like the color, and she unconsciously likes the rainy day, accompanying her to cook tea and talk, stroke the piano and paint, and listen to the sound of the rain, which seems to be a different kind of enjoyment.

This rain fell, I don't know Shen Xihe Huanxi, many people are happy, although Dengzhou is hundreds of miles away from here, there is rain here, not necessarily Dengzhou also rains, but it is always an expectation, isn't it?

It's just that these people are destined to be disappointed, until the time passed, Dengzhou has not rained, and the news that the people of Dengzhou are out of control has also been urgently transmitted to the imperial case in the middle of the night, except for the frail crown prince Xiao Huayong, His Majesty will urgently summon several princes and ministers to the Taiyun Hall to deal with the government overnight to discuss countermeasures.

Although Xiao Huayong was not urgently called, he was also alarmed, and stayed in his clothes, looking at the night sky after the rain, as if it had been cleaned, it was extraordinarily dark and clean: "Dengzhou has no rain." ”

"The person Daddy asked for help was a respected outsider, and if he didn't know, he wouldn't lie to him. If you are given the exact time, you must be sure that there will be rain. "Shen Xihe has actually not stopped, waiting for the results.

She didn't want to let go of this opportunity and tried to convince Xiao Huayong.

The long eyelashes as fine as a veil drooped slightly, and the half-covered black bright pupils were a little less deep, and there was a little more pampering with a smile: "I understand." ”

"Huh?"

I see? Got what? The headless and brainless sentence made Shen Xihe confused.

"I'll take care of the rest, you don't have to worry about it, I'll be able to make it happen." Xiao Huayong shook Shen Xihe's shoulder with his hand, then turned around and walked along the corridor.

The rain splashed down the eaves, and the color of the water that flew up did not sink into the corners of his robe that was slightly lifted between his steps.

Shen Xihe slowly turned her feet, but did not catch up, stopped for a moment, withdrew the shoes that exposed her skirt, hid the pearl on her head in the light gauze skirt again, her slender neck was slightly raised, and she was white and glowing outside the misty smoke and rain, her calm eyes fell on the fine rain curtain, and she didn't blink for a long time, not knowing what to think again.

A heavy rain in the palace fell for a day and a night, and the next day the dawn was still dripping, but Dengzhou was still exposed, the line that the people were stretched was completely broken, and the dry eyes were broken with all the light, covered with a layer of spider web-like blood, and all of them were red-eyed, and the riots began to riot in the two big counties of Wendeng and Qingyang, and the riots instantly spread to Muping County, Huang County, Penglai County, etc.

It was so fast that Xiao Changyan, the king of Jing stationed in Dengzhou, was caught off guard, he governed the army strictly and decisively, and killed the enemy bravely, but now he is facing the people, the people of a state.

Xiao Changyan planned to severely suppress the initial and largest riot in Wendeng County, but was stopped by Xiao Changgeng, the eleventh prince: "Eighth brother, no. ”

"The people want to survive, not the thieves are extremely vicious, Wendeng is the leader, capture the thief first and capture the king, and take Wendeng, it will definitely be able to deter the rest of the troublemakers!" Xiao Changyan said coldly.

"Eighth brother, there must be something strange about this matter." Xiao Changgeng hurriedly explained, "If it is really ordinary people who are in turmoil, the eighth brother's move will definitely be calm." However, there must be someone behind this matter, there was also a drought in the previous dynasty, the longest for two years, there has never been such a riot, you and I brothers have come to Dengzhou for more than a month, although they do not say that they do everything themselves, but they also do their best, and the people see it in their eyes, that is, the speculation of the Taishi Eunuch spreads.

There was no rain yesterday, and the people were disappointed and complained, just as the eighth brother said, the people survived, and they didn't have to do it until they had to, how could they make trouble? At this time, if the eighth brother suppresses them by force, I am afraid that the people will be more and more mistaken that the court wants to abandon them, which will only make them even more unable to resist, and the chaos will be uncontrollable at that time, how can you and I explain to Your Majesty? ”

Xiao Changyan's hand holding the sword tightened, and the green tendons on the back of his hand jumped, how could he not know that there was fraud in it? However, the troublemakers were too cunning, and almost overnight they instigated the entire Dengzhou, like thieves who lit fires everywhere, making the whole Dengzhou a mess.

If the riot is not quelled with the power of thunder, it will snowball.

"There are soldiers everywhere, and the people are just gathering to make trouble, since they are trying to survive, if we don't release food so that they have the foundation to survive, we can naturally temporarily calm their grievances, and at the same time we must find out who is behind the trouble." Xiao Changgeng proposed.

"Enough food?" Xiao Changyan asked.

"Eighth brother, rest assured, I have counted the population of each county, and the grain that I want from the household department during this period of time has been sent to the granaries of each county one after another, and it will not be a problem to feed the people of a county for a few days." Xiao Changgeng bowed.

Xiao Changyan slapped Xiao Changgeng on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Fortunately, I listened to your proposal that day and sent the grain to the counties early, otherwise...... I'll leave the rest to you, and I'll see who stumbles on you." ”

With that, Xiao Changyan took the long sword on his shoulder and strode away.

Xiao Changgeng stood in place, the corners of his lips rose slightly, but his smile was tinged with bitterness.

On that day, he proposed to send grain to the counties of Dengzhou with great fanfare, but it was just to appease the hearts of the people everywhere, but he never thought that he would become a pawn of the crown prince and brother.

He, the crown prince, can always use everything at his disposal, always stay out of things, make a fortune quietly, and do all kinds of bad things, but no one knows when he stretched out his evil hand.

"You caused a civil unrest in Dengzhou?" The news was very fast, and Shen Xihe knew about it.
