Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1388 Disaster in Central Shu

The matter of canonizing the queen is completely abandoned.

Although Wen Rou was very unwilling, she didn't make trouble with Li Shimin.

He knew very well that since Li Shimin had already made such a decision, it was absolutely impossible for him to change his mind.

And if she went to make trouble, it would definitely make Li Shimin bored with him.

For a man like Li Shimin, she still knows very well that such a man never lacks women, so if a woman doesn't know how to make him happy, then he may abandon you at any time.

If you are gentle and not noisy, no one will mention this matter again.

The court has resumed the previous situation, the impeachment of the impeachment, and the discussion of the matter.

The weather in midsummer is extremely hot and muggy.

It has not rained in Chang'an City for several days.

The common people are a bit hot and can't bear it, and they can't help but have some complaints.

This morning, when Qin Tian went to the morning court, the weather was gloomy, as if it was going to cover the entire Chang'an city, it looked like it was going to rain.

Seeing that it was going to rain, not only Qin Tian, ​​but everyone else was also very excited.

If there is a heavy rain, Chang'an City will be cooler.

When it was early morning, the whole hall seemed a little dark, and the wind outside was whistling.

Not long after, a thunderclap was heard from the sky, followed by heavy rain.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the officials in the main hall of Chaozhong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had been holding their breath before, and this heavy rain had resolved their situation.

It was raining non-stop, and things in the court hall went more smoothly.

Before noon, the early morning was over.

The officials left one after another, with comfortable smiles on their faces.

The rain came in a timely manner, at least in the eyes of many people.

But in the next few days, everyone was a little bored.

Because it has been raining for two days.

After two days of heavy rain, many places in Chang'an City were flooded. This is because Chang'an City's water conservancy is relatively good, so it didn't cause too many consequences, and a lot of the accumulated water was drained.

But it has been raining for so long, it is still a bit unbearable.

Fortunately, on the third day, the rain stopped.

Although the weather has become hot again, everyone is surprisingly not disgusted.

In the early morning again, even though everyone was sweating profusely standing on the main hall, they still didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

And at this moment, an urgent report came in a hurry.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from Bazhong."

Hearing the urgent report from the land of Ba and Shu, Shu King Li Ke's eyes moved slightly. Although Bazhong is not within the scope of his fief, Bazhong is still very close to his fief. If something happens to Bazhong, don't worry. Know what's going on in his fief.

Here, Li Shimin quickly asked, "What urgent report?"

"Holy Majesty, in the land of Bazhong, it rained heavily for ten days in a row. The ten days of heavy rain washed away and flooded the houses of many people in Bazhong, and some mountains even experienced landslides. Today, the people of Bazhong are affected by disasters, and many of them are already facing serious problems. Life is at risk, and nowadays, many people are migrating..."

The palace servant told the Bazhong emergency report, and after listening to it, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It rained in Chang'an City for two days, and they were a little irritable and couldn't stand it anymore. It rained heavily in Bazhong for ten days, so maybe they couldn't stand it alone?

Moreover, the land in Bazhong is mountainous, not to mention the inconvenient transportation, and the convenience of water conservancy is not as good as Dujiangyan in Jincheng. If the accumulated water cannot be drained, it will naturally affect the lives of the local people.

After the news came out, some people in the court sighed lightly from time to time, as if they were very distressed.

Here, Li Shimin frowned, and said: "There has been heavy rain in Bazhong for ten days, so the flood is likely to be serious, and we must deal with it as soon as possible. Everyone, who do you think is responsible for this matter, is it more appropriate?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, the people in Bazhong were affected by the disaster. I thought that His Royal Highness should go down to comfort them, and at the same time hone His Highness' abilities."

Prince Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment when he said this. He had never thought of leaving Chang'an City to deal with matters outside, but now that Changsun Wuji had finished speaking, he felt that he should indeed go out to investigate the situation of the people.

In the past, Qin Tian took him to see some situations in Chang'an City, but he hadn't seen the ones in other places.

So, after Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Chengqian stood up and said, "Father, my son is willing to go."

Li Chengqian agreed to go to Bazhong for disaster relief, but at this moment, other people in the court recommended Wei Wang Li Tai and Shu King Li Ke.

"My lord, I think Wei Wang Li Tai can go to Bazhong for disaster relief."

"Your Majesty, the King of Shu's fief is in Jincheng, so it would be best to let King Li Ke of Shu go to Bazhong."

"........."

Soon, in the court, there were voices supporting the three people one after another. Some supported the prince Li Chengqian, some supported the Wei king Li Tai, and some supported the Shu king Li Ke. After seeing these situations, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment. We need to hone our abilities, and now that Li Tai and Li Ke have also jumped out, things will not be easy.

He quickly understood what was going on.

Nowadays, there are many forces in the court, and everyone is fighting for power and profit. In order to make Li Chengqian's crown prince more consolidated, Changsun Wuji must increase Li Chengqian's achievements.

If he can put down the flood in Bazhong, his prestige among the people will be very high, and he has made great contributions, and the officials in the court and in the middle will recognize him even more.

Obviously, Wei Wang Li Tai and Shu Wang Li Ke also saw this, so they let their people compete for this matter. After all, if they made great achievements, they would have the capital to compete with Prince Li Chengqian.

For them, if they want to win the position of prince, they can only make their achievements higher and higher, just like Li Shimin back then, there is no way for Prince Li Jiancheng to take him.

Both Li Tai and Li Ke thought so.

There were endless quarrels in the court, Li Shimin looked at this situation, and naturally knew what these people thought, but after this situation happened, he was a little hesitant, not knowing who to support.

Now, with the support of his grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian is obviously the most powerful. For balance, he should let Li Tai or Li Ke go.

However, he recalled Empress Changsun's entrustment to try to avoid killing each other among the princes. In this way, only by increasing the prince's influence can he suppress the ambitions of the other two princes.

Li Shimin thought for a long time, and he didn't want to see that kind of brother-in-law situation happen again.

After all, they are all his sons, and he feels sorry for anyone who dies.
