Chang'an, Daming Palace, heavy rain pours.
The strong wind blew across the roof, making a shrill scream, and the cold rain flowed down along the eaves, forming a waterfall.
Since the death of Shan Chang, the heavy rain that has affected most of the Central Plains has lasted for seven days.
As if the ocean was turned upside down and held upside down in the sky above the human world, heavy rain washed away farmland, flooded roads, and blocked traffic.
Some people say that this rain is Haotian lamenting and crying for the death of Lian Xuanxiao, the leader of Xuegong Mountain. Some people hold the opposite view, thinking that Haotian is angry because Lian Xuanxiao fell from the top of Taihao Mountain, and specially sent down the heavenly punishment.
,
Some well-informed people will discuss in private, claiming that this heavy rain evolved from Liluanfeng - too much water vapor gushes from the Jiuyou Dark River, which was dispersed by Liluanfeng and swept into the clouds, causing sudden changes in the sky.
p>
No matter which statement is correct, the rain is constantly decreasing. According to the Academy's estimation, it will stop and dissipate in a few days.
This may be the biggest good news in recent times.
In the main hall, Emperor Yu and his ministers were still discussing politics.
Such a double disaster of large-scale floods and heavy rains is rare in history. Fortunately, today is different from the past. The construction of railways has greatly reduced the traffic pressure for disaster relief.
A steady stream of materials and manpower can be transported to disaster areas by train for rescue and relief. Even if the railway section collapses due to the impact of heavy rains, it can be quickly repaired with the Academy's supply of talismans regardless of cost.
Resettling victims, ensuring supplies, building dams, and preventing plagues...
Emperor Yu and his ministers were sorting out and deciding on political orders. Every decision made in this room would affect thousands of people thousands of miles away, so we must be cautious.
"...Let's do this for the time being. With the Mountain and River Guard Talisman here, we don't have to worry about war for the time being. All resources will be given over to emergency rescue and disaster relief. Protect the people first."

Emperor Yu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, ending the meeting.
Squeak——
The door opened, and the queen came in with several maids, carrying silver eucalyptus. There were many jade bowls filled with chicken soup on the silver eucalyptus.
"I asked the dining room to take some time to cook it, so be careful when it's hot."
The queen divided the soup, and the ministers put on flattered expressions and took the jade bowl - Zhongshu ordered Xue Ji not to use it. He was the queen's brother. This chicken soup was their mother's recipe. They drank it countless times since childhood.
times.
Even the little historian who was writing notes on the emperor's daily life in the corner got a bowl. He took the chicken soup with great fear, and his face was extremely moved.
Drinking chicken soup on a cold rainy night, his fatigue subsided a lot. Emperor Yu looked at the lightning and thunder outside the window and suddenly asked: "How is the public opinion in Chang'an City recently?"
This question seemed to drop an ice cube into the cheerful room. All laughter suddenly stopped.
Pei Su, the servant of the minister, put down the jade spoon, thought for a moment and said: "Most people miss the mountain chief, spontaneously erect a memorial tablet for the mountain chief at home, and brave the heavy rain to go to the new temple to commemorate him."
Emperor Yu nodded and asked: "Most of them? In other words, are there any that you don't miss?"
This question was difficult to answer, so Pei Su had to pick up a jade spoon, look at his nose with his eyes, and look at his heart with his nose.
As an emperor, how could Li Shun not have the means to collect the public opinion of Chang'an? The reason why he wanted to ask on this occasion was to hear these words coming from the mouths of the ministers.
When no one responded, Queen Xue gently fiddled with the spoon, making a jingling sound.
Zhongshu ordered Xue Ji to put down the jade bowl, cupped his hands and said: "Some idle people gathered outside the Haotian Temple Gate and refused to disperse. Jing Zhaoyin was afraid that they would block traffic, so he enclosed that area in the name of construction.
Get up."
"Idle people? I'm afraid they are Haotian believers, right?"
Emperor Yu's expression was indifferent. He knew that Xue Ji did not tell the whole story. Before his death, the mountain leader broke into Taihao Mountain alone. Not only did he cut off a mountain peak, he also seriously injured Headmaster Haotian and forced four cardinals to retreat, which greatly embarrassed Taihao Mountain.
Noodles.
In those kingdoms with the most pious faith in Haotian, this move was so blasphemous and arrogant that even Xuan Xiao's corpse would not be enough to repay him.
As for the Yu State, as we all know, most of the people in the Yu State are very practical, and their belief in Haotian is not that lofty. They are almost on the same level as their ancestors. They are the kind of people who, during the Chinese New Year, will pray to them to bless them with smooth sailing and no disasters in the new year.
No disease, abundant wealth.
Belief in Haotian is more of a habit in life. The Haotian bell that rings once in the morning and evening, and the Haotian bell that rings throughout the city every hour, has become an inseparable part of life.
Among the forty million people of the Yu Kingdom, there will always be some who believe more in Haotian, and even a small group, like the people of other countries, oppose the behavior of the mountain chief.
After all, Taihao Mountain had been standing for thousands of years before the Academy, sheltering humans from the claws of demons and leading humans through the darkest era. This is irrefutable.
You can hear needles dropping in the main hall. This topic is too sharp for people to talk about - strictly speaking, everyone in the Yu Kingdom, including the ministers present and the emperor himself, are also followers of Haotian.
Emperor Yu glanced at the expressions on the faces of the important ministers and drank the soup slowly.
Even in the hearts of these ministers, they are not completely grateful to the mountain leader, right?
The mountain chief created Taihao Mountain, seriously injured the headmaster, and left the mountain and river guardian talisman. It did buy the Yu State a few years of breathing time, but it also cut off the Yu State's retreat.
When the talisman of the mountains and rivers dissipates, Yu State will have to face not only the Zhou State, the Jing State, and the Turks, but also Taihao Mountain, which is in its prime and full of revenge, will end in person.
The enemy is too powerful. Even if he doesn't take action personally, he can still shake the hearts of his own people and make them unable to help but fantasize.
I wonder if peace with Taihao Mountain could have been maintained if the mountain chief had not taken action.
I wonder if I can find a way out if I surrender now.
I fantasize that if I abandon the Academy, can I ensure that my family will continue to enjoy glory and wealth after the fall of the Yu Kingdom...
"It's getting late. Let's go home after drinking the soup. Si Tianjian said that the rain will stop in three days and he will attend the funeral of the mountain chief."

Emperor Yu had some guidance and put down the jade bowl.
As if they had been granted amnesty, all the ministers stood up, saluted, and left the palace.
"..."
Emperor Yu looked at the deserted hall, lay back in his chair tiredly, and sighed.
The queen motioned with her eyes to the people around her to step back, including the living historian.
When only the couple were left in the room, she quietly approached, stood behind her husband, stretched out her palms to rub his temples, and said gently: "Don't worry too much, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge."
"The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. I am afraid that some people will want to jump off the boat first, or even smash the boat!"
Emperor Yu closed his eyes and snorted coldly, his voice unable to conceal his anger.
The investigation results of the Xuegong and Zhenfu Division into the Zhao Ming attack have been released, and the contents are shocking.
The governor of a state on the border between Yu and Zhou was actually able to instigate rebellion, and together with the local governor of the town, they shut down the local warning formation to facilitate Zhao Ming's sneaking in.
In the Yellow River water transportation, dozens of bureaucrats, large and small, were either bribed or threatened, turning a blind eye to the hundreds of ships that crashed and sank in the Yellow River system every year - these ships carried gunpowder when they sank, and they were also responsible for the collapse of the dams in various states.
A credit.
In various state capitals, leaflets of unknown origin have appeared. The leaflets claim that Lian Xuanxiao's provocation of Taihao Mountain will bring disaster to the Yu State. It makes the people think carefully whether the Academy is determined to have its own way and will destroy the entire Yu State.
The country has been dragged into the water.
Seeing the irritation and anger on her husband's face, the queen paused and said softly: "Let's wait for the news from the academy. After the funeral, Chen Jijiu, no, it should be Chen Shanchang, will go to the mountain behind the academy for retreat.
.As long as he can break through the Linyuan realm, everything will be fine."
