Chapter two hundred and nineteenth celestial attack
As soon as these words came out, there was buzzing discussion everywhere in the court, and a cloud covered the entire Yankang Kingdom. This was almost impossible, but it happened!
The country of Yankang has a vast territory, 90,000 miles from north to south and 80,000 miles from east to west. Now it snows all over the country, and the heavy snow lasts for six or seven days. This is also impossible!
Those with supernatural powers have the ability to summon wind and rain, but they can only make rain fall in a small area and call wind in a small area. It is impossible for such a spell to cover the entire Yankang Kingdom.
But this is not a natural disaster. It rarely snows south of the Jinjiang River, and it is even less likely to have rain or snow south of the Yongjiang River. When it comes to the Lijiang River, it is like summer all year round, and it is even less likely to snow.
The snowfall across the country is even more incredible!
Emperor Yanfeng coughed, asked the courtiers to calm down, and said: "Sinong, there are probably many beloved ministers who do not understand how terrible this snow is. Please explain it to all beloved ministers."
An old minister came out. He was the agriculture minister of the Yankang court and was in charge of the country's agriculture. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, due to this snowstorm, the crops in the north are already cold and frost-resistant, so they are not in need of next year's harvest."
The key is the south. After this heavy snowfall, all the crops in the south will be frozen to death. Next year, the crops in the south will not be harvested."
The Minister of Household Affairs said quickly: "Where is the south that Lord Sinong is referring to?"
"South of Jinjiang."
All the officials in the court gasped, and Qin Mu was also startled.
He had a map of the mountains and rivers of the Yankang Kingdom. The Jinjiang River also started from Daxu and ran eastwards for tens of thousands of miles before entering the sea.
The land south of Jinjiang occupies two-thirds of Yankang's land!
In other words, two-thirds of the country will be left without harvest!
"This... Your Majesty, I thought we should first allocate grain and grass from various places to the south to prepare for disaster relief!"
The minister came out of the queue and bowed: "The south has just experienced war. Many counties and counties need disaster relief. I am afraid that the granaries in each county are already empty. Your Majesty, please mobilize the granaries in the north to save the people of Li from the fire!"
Minister of Agriculture and Agriculture sighed and said: "We can't adjust it at the moment. You adults don't know. The war consumes food and grass. A lot of food and grass have already been consumed. Now if the food is sent to the south, it will only be eaten up by the hungry people. After eating, next year
Even the grain seeds are gone. We can’t grow any grain, and we won’t have anything to eat in the fall. Your Majesty, if the hungry people don’t have anything to eat, they will eat human beings.”
“Are we just going to let the people in the south starve to death?”
Minister of Agriculture and Agriculture said: "Food has to be transported to the south, but the supply needs to be limited, and only the food rations needed to survive are given to the victims in the south. In fact, there are still granaries in the south, but they are all concentrated in the hands of wealthy families and landlords. If we want to touch them
of food, I’m afraid they will incite the victims to rebel. Your Majesty..."
Emperor Yanfeng's face darkened and he said: "I will find a way to provide food for the wealthy families and landlords. You continue to talk."
"Yes. In addition to the south, there is also a major disaster in the north and south."
The Minister of Agriculture said: "Winter is always cold in the north, and it is even colder this year. I have been to several northern counties and found that farmers are already cutting down trees and burning fires for warmth. Many woods in the mountains have been cut down.
Bare. People in the north are cold-resistant, and even so, it is conceivable that in the south. If the trees in the south are cut down, flash floods, mudslides, and major floods will inevitably continue. Natural disasters will cause man-made disasters, and man-made disasters will cause
More natural disasters. If the victims are not allowed to cut down trees for warmth, I am afraid that countless people will freeze to death. By then, I am afraid that ten houses will be empty..."
Emperor Yanfeng exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the officials in the court also became quiet, so quiet that even their breathing felt heavy and harsh. If the trees were not cut down and burned, the farmers would freeze to death. Cutting down the trees and burning fires would cause more disasters.
A snowstorm put the huge empire of Yankang into a dilemma.
Minister of Agriculture and Agriculture continued: "The key is not to know how long this cloud will last. If the clouds dissipate in the past few days, the losses can be minimized. If they do not dissipate, the country will be in danger and the country will be in danger!"
"I...get it."
Emperor Yanfeng sat down, feeling a little weak, and said: "My dear friends, do you now know how critical the situation is? A few days ago, when those traitors rebelled, I was still leisurely and content and didn't take it seriously. I know they can't succeed, and they will be there sooner or later.
I was destroyed by the Imperial Preceptor and all my dear friends. But this snow disaster and this cloud are going to ruin my national destiny in Yankang! Dear sirs, is there any solution?"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell into silence.
Even though they have great magical powers, they can't blow away the clouds or melt the snow.
Emperor Yanfeng looked at the ministers in the hall, feeling angry and anxious. A snowfall or a cloud would make this empire fall apart, and let hundreds of years of hard work disappear?
A civil servant said: "I think this is the national master's reform, which has angered the sky..."
Emperor Yanfeng was furious: "Drag him out and chop him down!"
The civil servant knelt on the ground and cried loudly, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty, God has the way of heaven, and the national master's reform is to change the way of heaven. Therefore, God is angry, and when God is angry, people will complain, and the people will not live in peace, Your Majesty!"
"Someone is coming!"
Emperor Yanfeng was furious: "In the face of national calamity, he still deceives the public with his monstrous words. If you don't kill him, do you want me to kill him myself?"
The guards in Jinluan Palace came over quickly and dragged the civil servant away. The cry of the civil servant gradually faded away.
Emperor Yanfeng took two hurried steps and suppressed his anger: "I want capable ministers who can do things, not sycophants who can only open their mouths to slander! This reform is what I want to change, not what the imperial master wants to change! God is angry and people are angry.
You are also angry with me and resentful of me! The Imperial Master is a capable minister, let alone five hundred years, even if it is one thousand or two thousand years, it will be rare! You can think of a way for me, if you can't think of a way, don't go home, and there is no need to celebrate the New Year!
"
"Your Majesty, why don't you take this cloud away?"
Suddenly a voice from the hall said: "Since you can't drive away the clouds, then just collect the cloud energy."
The ministers of the cultural relics all followed the sound and looked over. Emperor Yanfeng also looked over and said, "It turns out to be Dr. Zhongsan. You might as well tell me what Dr. Zhongsan has to say."
Qin Mu said: "I once saw treasures such as fire gourds in the army. The sergeants stored their own real fire in the fire gourds on weekdays, and then released the fire in the fire gourds during the war. The imperial hospital failed to refine the medicine.
, the hemp turned over the Taixue College, and it was the predecessor, the Grand Priest Jiu, who used a gourd to take away the anesthetic and saved the Taixue College. Do you think that this dark cloud can also be included in a spiritual treasure such as a gourd?"
Emperor Yanfeng looked at General Tiance and said, "General Qin, do you think it's possible?"
General Tiance, whose surname is Qin and whose name is Jian, is the leader of the military generals and the head of the Qin family, a powerful family in the capital. He said: "Your Majesty, what Dr. Zhongsan said is feasible. However, there are not so many fire gourds in the army.
The fire gourds in the army use wisteria gourds and are given to the Suzaku Army in various places. There are a million fire gourds in all parts of the country. One million fire gourds can take away the clouds of a province, but there are so many provinces in the country.
The fire gourds in the army alone cannot do it."
Qin Mu said: "Although there are few gourds in the army, there are officials who practice magic in various places. The officials in the aristocratic families and in the court are even more powerful. Your Majesty has issued an order to order those with magical powers from all over the country to create treasures and collect the dark clouds in the sky. All over the country
There are so many people with magical powers. The county magistrates, Shaoyin, and Fuyin in various places are all strong. Each is responsible for the area under his jurisdiction. In addition, the strong men in the army go to various places to remedy the situation. It is expected that the dark clouds can be removed.
eight."
Emperor Yanfeng thought: "It is a bit difficult to mobilize all the magical powers from all over the country to clear the clouds. There are some idle magical powers in the world who do not listen to the court..."
"So your Majesty still needs to do it personally and set an example for the world."
Qin Mu said: "Your Majesty went out of the capital and personally went to the provinces to collect the clouds. Naturally, the people followed him."
Many civil and military ministers looked at each other. The emperor left the capital and went to various places to collect the clouds in person? Now that the chaos has just subsided, I am afraid that the remnants of the sects and sects will take the opportunity to assassinate him.
Yankang's imperial master went to the Great Ruins and returned in vain, but was attacked by a sneak attack on the way. When the emperor leaves the capital, he is afraid that he will be assassinated in various ways!
Everyone was about to speak when Emperor Yanfeng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "But Qin Aiqing, do you still have a way to deal with this snow disaster?"
"The snow disaster has already happened, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Qin Mu said: "But I heard something that the way of the saint is no different from the daily use of the common people. There are so many people with magical powers in the world. If the heavy snow melts after the sun comes out, these magical people can personally go to the ground and eliminate them for the people everywhere.
If the crops are frozen to death, replant them, and there may be some harvest next year. When the rice is heading, and there is no wind, then ask a supernatural person to provide wind. If there are overgrown weeds, then ask a magical person to weed them. If an insect disaster breaks out, then ask a supernatural person to provide wind.
To get rid of insects, if frost falls from the sky, then ask someone with supernatural powers to use fire to remove the frost."
"Your Majesty, these are the words of the devil!"
A civil servant was so angry that he was trembling all over and said: "Your Majesty, Dr. Zhongsan spouted evil words and harmed the country and the people. He should be punished!"
Emperor Yanfeng smiled and said: "This sentence is very correct. Why is it the words of the devil? This is not a harm to the country and the people, but a good word to govern the country and save the people. Your official position has been dismissed. Go home and reflect. Qin Aiqing, what else do you have?
A good strategy?"
Qin Mu thought: "Your Majesty can also ask the Supervisor of Heaven to monitor the weather in various places. In years of floods, rain clouds can be collected into spiritual treasures such as gourds. In years of raging hurricanes, hurricanes, tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning can be collected into spiritual treasures.
, can be put away for later use. If there is a drought, it can release heavy rain. If there is a war with foreign countries, it can release hail, ice, snow, thunder and lightning, and tornadoes to control the celestial phenomena and attack enemy countries. This year's snow disaster has made Yankang so brilliant.
The national destiny of a big country is almost destroyed in one fell swoop. If such celestial powers are used on an enemy country, which country can afford it?"
"Your Majesty, manipulating the celestial phenomena is against the law of heaven. This is the word of the devil!"
Another civil servant came out, kowtowed repeatedly, knocked his head until it was bloody, and said sternly: "The words of the devil are really meant to destroy our country Zuo! Your Majesty, please kill this devil of the devil as soon as possible!"
"You have been fired."
Emperor Yanfeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't come up with any ideas, so I'm talking nonsense and criticizing Dr. Zhongsan. I give you a lot of salary every month, so what's the use of raising you? This snow and this cloud are just a matter of time."
He wants to destroy our country Zuo! If someone comes, drag him down. Doctor Zhongsan, I know it is easy but it is difficult to do. This time for disaster relief, you come with me."
Qin Mu hesitated, wondering why: "I want to go home to celebrate the New Year... I recommend a few people who may be able to help Your Majesty."
Emperor Yanfeng laughed heartily, and felt that the dark clouds hanging over his heart had dissipated. He waved his hand and said, "That's right. Now is the time for me to employ people. If the person you recommend is really useful, I will not treat you badly."
Duke Wei was slightly shocked: "The Heavenly Demon Sect is about to enter the imperial court... But having said that, I am the Heavenly Demon Sect's sect king, and I have entered the imperial court a long time ago. This little leader is really a sneaky person, and the Imperial Master is not around these days.
In the court, he took the opportunity to deploy people. If the Imperial Preceptor had not been seen for several years, he might even have become a member of his Demon Cult! Where had the Imperial Preceptor gone? He and his wife had been traveling around for so long, and such a big thing happened.
