Valley Emperor

A sudden torrential rain broke the tranquility of the Tang Dynasty, and also broke many plans in Li Xuan's heart.

What was his original plan?

That is to try to be as low-key as possible, immerse yourself in development in Huangzhu Mountain, at most occasionally come out of the mountain to capture some people, especially craftsmen or something, and then focus on research and development of high-tech, wait for the day to come out with the flintlock gun, and wait for the day to improve the performance by yourself. Superior cannons were created, and that was the time to consider how to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

As for now and even for a long time in the future, what he has to do is to try to avoid attracting the attention of the top officials of the Ming court, and avoid attracting the army of the Ming court to attack.

In short, it's about hiding and playing by yourself and entertaining yourself!

But now, Li Xuan realized that his idea could no longer be realized, because the heavy rain directly washed away nearly 40% of the farmland in Huangzhu Mountain. In other words, when they harvested this summer, the grain they could harvest would be more than expected. A full 40% less.

This also means that there are more than 3,700 people up and down Huangzhu Mountain, and there will be at least a thousand people who cannot get enough food.

This situation is not only known to Li Xuan himself, but almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that they will not be able to harvest enough food this summer, and will face starvation or even mass starvation in the second half of the year.

For many days after the heavy rain, although people up and down Huangzhu Mountain were also cleaning up the flooded farmland and re-strengthening the dams, their faces had lost the tranquility of the past, and many people began to discuss how to spend this time. Difficulties.

There is no need for those bigwigs to speak, many bandits and even ordinary old and weak people are starting to talk about what to come out and grab one.

Under the Yellow Bamboo Mountain, in the Council Hall of the Tang Palace.

"Liu Aiqing, have all the silt in the flooded farmland been cleaned up? Are the dams properly reinforced?" Li Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, asked, but his eyes did not look at Liu Bagou. Looking straight ahead, I don't know what I'm looking at or thinking.

Liu Bagou raised his head and glanced at Li Xuan. Seeing that he looked like a foreigner, his expression changed slightly. He took a step forward, and then fell to his knees with a slap: "This minister is guilty of death!"

Liu Bagou's sudden action startled many people in the discussion hall. Butcher Chen looked at him, and he was already muttering in his heart. Could this Liu Bagou be stupid again? All these scholars are stupid. After thinking about it, I will do these messy things every three days.

capital offense? What capital crime? Butcher Chen was very puzzled by these ignorant words.

Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren also looked at Liu Bagou, who was kneeling on the ground, looking at Liu Bagou, who was kneeling on the ground. He didn't directly ask if you were guilty.

Why did you Liu Bagou suddenly say such a thing!

The opinions of others are naturally ignored by Liu Bagou. He is a scholar and the first assistant of the Tang Dynasty, and he doesn't care about the thoughts of these rude warriors!

In his eyes, there was only Li Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair as if he was a phantom. Although he was in the discussion hall, he had no idea where he had gone.

This is the young master he wholeheartedly wants to assist, and this is his signboard for realizing his ideals and values!

Although he knelt down, he still looked at Li Xuan and continued: "A few days ago, the **** burst and a large area of ​​farmland was destroyed, leaving thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty without food to feed their stomachs after this summer, and leaving the Tang Dynasty in a lack of food. In a crisis, the minister is the chief assistant, and if the flood control is ineffective, the rescue is ineffective, and the crime deserves death!"

As he said that, he lowered his head, and then put his whole body on the ground: "Please, Your Majesty, behead the sinner and abandon the market!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference hall looked shocked, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren and other generals were even more stunned. ?

However, the expressions of the civil servants behind Liu Bagou, especially Wang Wenhua and Qian Mengjiu, were different from those of the generals. At this time, Wang Wenhua remembered that after the heavy rain returned to the flood control a few days ago and flooded a large area, Li Xuan was Returning to the palace with a sigh, he seemed to have muttered something along the way: "The trouble lies in the sky!"

Moreover, Li Xuan was in a daze when he went to court these days, which made Wang Wenhua have a very bad premonition. Now that he saw Liu Bagou's actions again, Wang Wenhua knew that Liu Bagou and himself were worried. is the same thing.

That is, the young emperor who is afraid of himself thinks that this torrential rain is God punishing them, otherwise, he would not say such words that the disaster lies in the sky.

Once the young emperor has this kind of mentality, I am afraid that he will be disheartened, and he may even lose hope at that time. In that case, their valley dynasty will not break up within minutes.

If last year, Li Xuan was just a sign for this Mountain Valley Dynasty, and there was no real difference between him and him, but after almost a year, this young emperor has proved with his own actions that he The Tang Dynasty is indispensable.

Without Li Xuan, there would be no guards, no muskets, and it would be impossible for them to repel the Ming army many times in the future. I am afraid that they will be completely perished in the recent Ming army.

If Li Xuan becomes disheartened, ignores world affairs, or simply says that the Tang Dynasty has been disbanded and everyone plays their own way, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be completely over.

Even if this is not the case, according to the occurrence of such natural disasters in the dynasties of the past dynasties, the emperor will often commit his own decree.

And this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed by Liu Bagou, and it is also what Wang Wenhua does not want to see.

In the past half a year, Wang Wenhua has found a new hope in life in the Datang Dynasty~www.wuxiax.com~ Although the Datang Dynasty is small, he is the second-ranked civil official among thousands of people. But he was much more majestic than when he used to be a school teacher in a small mountain village.

Therefore, he followed Liu Bagou's back, and knelt down with a snap, and directly kowtowed: "The torrential rain in the sky is not the fault of the gods, but the misfortune of the ministers and others. This is a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster. Unfavorable, please forgive me!"

Looking at the actions of Liu Bagou and Wang Wenhua, Fang Dongquan and the others were speechless. They couldn't understand why these two people suddenly became like this. Just watch a play.

If you participate rashly, you will easily be buried by the wicked Liu Bagou and Wang Wenhua!

At this time, Li Xuan also took his eyes away from the door, looked down at Liu Bagou and Wang Wenhua who were kneeling on the ground, and then waved his hands lightly: "Get up!"

At the same time, he looked around the crowd, thinking about how to open his mouth and tell these courtiers his plans.

I don't know if the plans I've come up with these days will scare them!
