Chapter 122
The change of sky came so suddenly, so fast that no one would have thought that this was the first rain this year.

And spring rain is as expensive as oil.

Rong Cen didn't know what King Xi told the imperial concubine, he only knew that he accompanied Mrs. Lu to the Emperor's Temple to pray for blessings, and when he came back, he quietly sent someone to report that she could leave for Zhuyuan immediately.

Just missed a good time.

So in the early morning of the next day, civil servants held wat boards and rushed to give advice.

"Your Majesty, the rain is spreading all over the country. It's only been a while since the spring plowing. Such a heavy rain will make it difficult for the seedlings to survive. At that time, the crops will not be harvested, which will be unfavorable to the people and the court! Moreover, the southern border is low and flat, with many good fields and flat plains. The flood flooded the houses, displaced the people, and even drowned them! Although the situation in the northern region is the opposite, the consequences of the floods are almost the same, which is really worrying!"

"Your Majesty! The western region is an inland land, and there is no drainage outlet, so it will be flooded if it rains for a long time... The eastern region is close to the sea and can drain floods, but now the wind is strong and the sky is high, and the heavy rain is continuous, and there may be a danger of seawater backwashing... The minister thinks that we should Quickly dispatch the imperial envoys to the states in four directions to investigate and rescue the disaster and the people!"

"Your Majesty the Regent! The two elders are right. It has been raining continuously for a whole day and night. Not only does it not stop at all, but it intensifies! Sending people out at this time is just death. , There are countless people, you may wish to think about it, can you save them? The old minister understands that this is the emperor's incompetence, and God has condemned him! Your Highness the Regent, forgive me, the most urgent task is to preserve the royal blood, so I think that a new location should be chosen to move the capital! I heard that the rain in Lingzhou is a little light, so it is better for His Royal Highness the Regent to move to the other courtyard immediately..."

As soon as this remark came out, all kinds of controversies erupted in the court, and many veterans said in unison: "No! Absolutely not!"

Rong Cen was pressing the exquisitely carved dragon head on the handle of the dragon chair, feeling extremely unhappy, suppressing the rolling anger, so as not to throw the knife in his eyes at the person who proposed to move the capital.

Below are people from the First and Empress Dowager Party who are frantically clamoring to move the capital to Lingzhou.

But Rong Cen didn't expect that Song Zeng would jump the highest.

Isn't he a member of the imperial concubine?

"Your Majesty, I also have some objections. Although there has been little rain in Lingzhou recently, since the beginning of last year, Lingzhou has been drizzled for several months. The rivers are flooded and very humid. It is true that it is not a holy place to move the capital. Your Excellency If you are not talented, you have a small plan in your heart to make both disaster relief and capital relocation possible."

As a military general, he should have defended the imperial city to the death, but Song Zeng retreated without a fight and advocated moving the capital. He came out frankly, without any twitching on his face, and said loudly, "I think Yizhou is the most suitable place for moving the capital. Your Majesty Nan Relocate, provide food and resettle the victims along the way, set an example for the world, collect all the hearts of the people, and lay the foundation for the future unification of the country."

Rong Cen tapped the faucet lightly with his fingertips, rubbed his fingers unconsciously, copying the fine ancient lines on it, pursed his lips and thought about it, and seemed to have moved a little bit.

It was the regent who first raised his hand to stop the restless officials, and replied with a sullen face: "Nonsense! Dayin has been in power for more than three hundred years, and Shengzhou has been the imperial capital since ancient times. Yang Dayin will stand forever in the world. Not to mention the replacement of the capital, you need to ask the gods and ancestors to bless you, and tell the common people to celebrate together.

The regent's frequent outbursts of anger would have easily lowered the majesty of the royal family, but the courtiers feared him for no reason.

Therefore, as soon as he said this, the Golden Luan Hall was silent for a long time.

The young emperor remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere gradually became dignified.

Most of the people who took the lead were the former Queen Mother's party, and the Prime Minister Wenren and Taifu Lu did not make a statement, so their respective party members naturally did not stand out.

Right now, in front of the line of officials, only King Xi stood upright.

Rong Zhu took a few steps forward, with a calm expression on his face, raised the white wat board to the level of his forehead, bowed his head in salute, then knelt down: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to go south to rescue the disaster."

Rong Cen remained silent.

She sat on the high hall, casually glanced at the ministers below, some frowning and shaking their heads with urgency, some sighing sadly, and some were inexplicably joyful who couldn't hold back the wild joy in their hearts and couldn't suppress the upward curve of their mouths.

No, it cannot be inexplicable joy.It can only show that these people are the vested interests of the flood.

Queen Mother?
Relevant words flashed through his mind quickly, and Rong Cen was enlightened.

That's right, the only thing those people have in common is - before the queen mother fell, they were all queen mother party members.

It's just that after Rong Cen forced the empress dowager back to the Lingzhou palace, the empress dowager's party members pretended to be defeated and switched to the new master.

No wonder the sudden proposal to move the capital to Lingzhou, the Empress Dowager is still living in the Lingzhou Palace.

After all, the Queen Mother made this move.

No regrets.

Rong Cen hooked his index finger and crushed the little pearl in Nianlong's mouth, rubbed it with specks of luminous powder, and there were strands of phosphorescence in the dark.

Not obvious, but for some things, clues are enough.

But she still couldn't figure out why Song Zeng jumped out?

In order to defraud Zhao Jisheng, the Wei of Tangzhou, Jiang Yun deliberately wrote the word "Ye" on the table while dipping in the tea to mislead her.Later, it was deduced that Song Zeng was actually a member of the Lu family, who was trained by the Taifu.

At that time, Song Zeng followed Rong Cen and Jiang Yun all the way to Fuyunju in Qizhou, and he was secretly behind the Shanyuegui incident, so as to expose Madam Chengdehou's conspiracy to pretend to be Madam Changyihou at the border to bully others and destroy the reputation of Changyihou Mansion.

There are many things that are beneficial and harmless to Rong Cen, but they are of no help to King Xi, and there is a risk of revealing his identity and arousing the emperor's suspicion.

So, why do the people of the imperial concubine do these thankless things?It can't be that she has nothing to do?

Rong Cen's eyes moved left and right on Wen Renmo and Lu Yi. Even if he has practiced the art of emperor for more than ten years, it is far from the two old foxes who have stood in the court for dozens of years.

If you can't figure it out, just put it aside for now.How to deal with the sudden heavy rain right now is indeed the top priority.

Rong Cen raised his hand and placed it on the dragon table, his bones and joints were stretched more comfortably, but his finger bones inadvertently knocked on the Qingxin tea that was set aside to cool down, making a crisp sound, which was quite pleasant to the ear.

"King Xi loves the people, filial piety and loyalty, I agree."

The ministers only thought that Rong Cen made a deliberate decision to make King Xi suffer, and it would be better if he died on the road or buried in Yizhou without turning around.

Therefore, a few royalists were afraid that she would get a bad reputation of harming her brothers, so they knelt down in fright and advised His Majesty not to do it.

"No, King Xi wants to go, let him go."

The young emperor lightly refused, "You are old, just take care of yourself and don't make trouble."
