I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

After Jiang Ting finished answering, she thought that the original book did not talk about the disaster caused by the rainstorm and flood, and she really couldn't help.

Tentative?

Rong Cen was indeed probing. After all, Wen Dai, who claimed to have a prophetic dream, had already been seen through by her. She had actually come back from rebirth. According to this simultaneous guess, Jiang Ting, who said she had the ability to predict...

She calmly glanced at Jiang Ting, who was inexplicably anxious, and drank the last half of the ginger tea in the cup.

"Concubine Jiang, I remember that you once said that you have the ability to predict, so do you usually predict Dayin's current situation?" Rong Cen asked, swallowing the tea soup.

"I, my ability is not enough, and I can't predict such a big thing in a short time. But the heavy rain is continuous, even if it stops, it is not a good thing." Jiang Ting didn't say too much. To gain a little trust from the female goose, you can't easily overturn what you said before, otherwise you will lose your trust and all previous efforts will be wasted.

One or two, very empty, Rong Cen suddenly lost the mood of wasting time and probing, the tea cup warmed by ginger tea was lightly picked up and put down, she raised her wide sleeves, her face was as calm as water, "That's all , from tomorrow, you and Ruoxu will go to the Imperial Hospital to study pharmacology. Listen to the old imperial doctor Xiao and don't be rude."

"Study medicine? Grab medicine or write prescriptions?" Jiang Ting was shocked. This kind of order is clearly to prepare for the plague after the rain. How dare the female goose, half-learned in medicine, how can I fix the medicine to death?
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the female goose was called Ruoxu in the small characters Wen Shufei and Wen Dai, but when it came to her, she was the blunt and cold word "Jiang Concubine", without any emotion or disturbance.

Just like that, it was rumored that His Majesty doted on her.

Who is so blind to spread rumors and believe in rumors?
Forget it, Jiang Ting only thought that Rong Cen didn't know her name. After all, the original owner was a princess from a foreign country, and she came all the way to get married... No, just because she is from Nanxun, His Majesty should investigate clearly Right?Jiang Ting frowned briefly, and then let go quickly. She belongs to Nanxun. Nanxun is an image of an ambitious man who is always ready to go north to annex Dayin. It is normal to be guarded, so His Majesty does not want to get close to her.

Well, that must be it.Case solved!

Jiang Ting raised her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, I am Xiaozi Zhanmei."

She blatantly brought this matter up on the table, with hints, hoping that the other party could call her small characters.

"Zhanmei." Rong Cen's defense against Jiang Ting was much deeper than that of Wen Dai, in order to lure her out, he did as he wished, and then responded with two sentences: "Okay, that's why I'm looking for you today, nothing else He wants you to get along well with Ruoxu and lead the concubines in the harem."

During the rainy season, Empress Wen Renshu suffered from a disease since she was a child. She was cold all year round during the rainy season.

Rong Cen told her to stay in the palace to recuperate from illness very early on, so she doesn't have to worry about the whole palace.

Excluding Wen Renshu, the highest ranking is the late emperor's only daughter, Concubine Yu Han Yu.But Yu Han never cared about things. She didn't even step out of the palace gate when her father died, let alone the rain made it difficult to travel now.

Therefore, only Concubine Shu Wendai, the head of the four concubines, was the one who could take care of things, and she could also shoulder the burden.As for Jiang Ting, it was purely because of the legendary "precognition ability".

After dismissing the "foreseeing" counterfeiters, Rong Cen was alone worried about the severe rain disaster that would never happen in a century.

In the new era, all the people will receive warm notifications from the Meteorological Bureau and the Emergency Management Bureau, at least starting with an orange warning, or even going directly to a red warning.

There was a lot of noise and noise outside, the gust of wind was blowing, thunder and lightning flashed ruthlessly across the air, and the sound of explosions was deafening.

After sending Concubine Jiang out, Little Six ran in again in a panic, panting heavily, and his shrill voice was harsher than the thunder outside the window——

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, the sacred tree in the Small Buddha Hall has been chopped down!"

Followed by Wan Li, he is more able to control his emotions than the former, his expression is equally anxious and urgent, but his voice is still calm and gentle: "Your Majesty, the sacred tree suddenly leaked water, burned in the rain and was extinguished, It's smoking now."

The Small Buddha Hall was specially set up in the Imperial City for the Empress Dowager. It can be said to be a low-profile stand-in for the Imperial Temple. It was built in a nearby palace not far from Guangshou Palace.

The palace was named by the first emperor, and the word "Buddha is alive" was written in his own handwriting.

Among them, the sacred tree is taller than the highest place in Kyoto, and it is as thick as three to five adults with their arms folded. The crown of the tree is vigorous and full of vitality.

Decades ago, there was an accidental flood in the palace, and a large area of ​​the palace was damaged. Only the "Buddha is alive" was unscathed, and so was the sacred tree.

Hearing the news that "the sacred tree was struck by lightning" and "still burning and smoking", Rong Cen was totally stupefied.

The ancients were all superstitious, and if they were not careful, they would be interpreted as the emperor's uncoordinated virtue and God's punishment from heaven.

Rong Cen didn't have time to think about it, so he ran out quickly, ignoring the heavy rain, and ran towards "Buddha is alive" with all his strength.

"His Majesty?"

Wan Li didn't wait for the young emperor to give an order, and saw that the other party disappeared in a flash, and he didn't even open an umbrella.

A group of servants had no choice but to take small steps vigorously and follow behind.

This rain made the world noisy, everyone was supposed to sit quietly in their respective palaces, but because of the vision of the sacred tree, the entire palace was alarmed.

The Empress Dowager was the first to arrive at "Buddha is alive", and half a step behind her stood the regent, Aunt Kong Lan, and the big maid and servants who were personally serving.

The palace was safe and sound, and the surrounding area was not affected by the fire at all, but the sacred tree was crackling and burned to remove the lush canopy, and now only half of the trunk is left, still billowing thick smoke in the rain.

Undoubtedly shocking.

"The emperor is here." The Empress Dowager spoke out first.

A group of concubines who hurried over from the sleeping hall and drenched on the way bowed their knees to say hello, "Concubine sees Your Majesty" rang out in the heavy rain, but it was surprisingly uniform.

"Exemption." Rong Cen raised his hand and bowed to the Empress Dowager and Regent: "Grandmother, Uncle."

The Empress Dowager probably had something confidential to say, so she purposely screened out irrelevant people, "You guys step down first."

At the end, he added: "The spring tide brings the rain in a hurry, so don't rush back to the palace to catch Louis' cold and fever in the rain, and place it in the surrounding palace."

Rong Cen agreed, thinking of the group of people she summoned today, it really hurts her to rush on the road in the rain, and she would feel that she really regretted it.

So she responded: "Queen, you..."

Forgetting that Wen Renshu was recuperating in Fengzi Palace because of her unwell body, she subconsciously named the Empress of the Palace.

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, before she could change her name and name Wen Dai, she saw that among the group of Yingying and Yanyan who were drenched in the rain, there was someone wearing a palace dress as elegant as a chrysanthemum, stepping on the footsteps without slowing down. Steps, out of the column.

It was the good queen of her family.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here." Wen Renshu's face was pale, but her cheeks were bright red, she looked like she was already suffering from the wind and cold, and she was still holding on.

I have a stubborn temper and can't help it.

By the way, Rong Cen glanced around to see which other faces were in the queue.

As expected, there is still no Yu Han.This woman is really extremely difficult to meet.

"The queen is ill, why are you still here?"

Rong Cen felt a little guilty, but he couldn't bear to say anything more. Wen Renshu has always been responsible, and he can't disappoint others.

She finally called out Wen Dai, ordered Concubine Wen Shu to assist the Queen in managing the affairs of the Six Palaces on the spot, and sent Concubine Jiang to be her deputy.

At this time, the three of them will also arrange for the palace where the concubines will be placed temporarily.

It was nothing more than sitting in the halls of nearby palaces and waiting for the rain to subside before heading back to their respective palaces.

Since it is not yet the time to stay overnight, there is no saying that everyone should squeeze first.

After clearing the venue, only Rong Cen, the Empress Dowager, the Regent, Kong Lan, and Nanny Song remained among the "Buddhas alive".

Kong Lan was Rong Cen's close female doctor bestowed by the late emperor, but she seldom really followed her every step of the way, and now she was going to be sent to Yizhou in the south, so Kong Lan found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and worked alone in the "Buddha" "Alive" found a clean side hall and wrote a disaster relief plan for going south.

Nanny Song, on the other hand, directly borrowed the fire and incense burner from the Small Buddha Hall to make ginger tea.She had the foresight, and when she came, she was afraid that she would be trapped in the "Buddha is alive" by the heavy rain, so she carried a bag on her body, which contained everything to protect against the wind and cold.

Therefore, in the main hall of "Buddha is alive", there are only Rong Cen, the Empress Dowager and the Regent.

Naturally, the Empress Dowager no longer shy away from it, and the two of them slowly revealed a prophecy that had been passed down for centuries.

"Yun Qi, the late Emperor should have told you before his death that the man-made disaster that tore Dayin apart a hundred years ago was ultimately assisted by an immortal."

Rong Cen nodded.

She is a staunch atheist, but she can't stand the fact that her experience is too metaphysical, and now she is not so resistant to theories like immortals.

"Father once said that the immortal left behind a jade pendant, and if the jade pendant is there, Dayin will last forever." Rong Cen said, "But after a hundred years, the jade pendant was accidentally divided into three, leaving only one of the royal family of Dayin." One piece of broken jade, and the other two pieces were displaced, and fell into the hands of people with lofty ideals in Nanxun and Xilin respectively."

"Well, that's true."

The Empress Dowager affirmed her words, she seemed to have not yet decided what to say next, she fell silent for a moment.

The regent was confused, but didn't interrupt.

A moment later, the Empress Dowager broke the silence in the hall.

"The immortal once predicted that there would be natural disasters in Dayin after a hundred years, and it would last for at least a few months in the short term, and several years in the long term. If Dayin can survive this catastrophe, he will not be far away from the day when he will be strong and prosperous in the world. .If Dayin didn't make it through..."

The Empress Dowager did not finish her words, but the meaning was not hard to guess.

A country is destined to suffer a catastrophe. If it survives it, it will be a new life, but if it cannot survive it, it will be the end.

The prophecy did not specify what kind of natural disaster it was, but looking at Dayin's current situation, it was obvious that it was caused by rain and floods.

Is it as short as a few months and as long as several years?
Rong Cen raised his eyebrows and thought deeply, does this deadline include the plague after the rain stops and the water recedes?

If it's included, that's fine.But if it's not included and just refers to rainfall alone, then the situation is really bad.

Rong Cen frowned, holding his breath tightly, unable to let it go.

"Emperor, do you have a countermeasure in mind?" the Empress Dowager asked.

Naturally, she also felt that what happened now was the prophecy mentioned by the immortal, plus the "Buddha is alive" was affected by lightning, and half of the sacred tree was chopped and burned, which was an ominous omen.

"There are some regulations, but... no one can use them." Rong Cen confessed.

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to have countermeasures. In terms of manpower, there is Aijia and your uncle and uncle here, so don't worry."

The regent spoke the first sentence, "Those people in Huangsi, I will transfer them to Yunqi for urgent use immediately."

The mother and son have been walking on thin ice for decades, and a lot of manpower has been hoarded inside and outside the palace for emergencies.I didn't expect to be treated favorably by the first emperor, so I don't need to use those people easily on weekdays, and now they can finally be used seriously.

The empress dowager and the regent discussed and arranged the manpower of all parties, and Rong Cen was in charge of coordinating the overall situation and issuing orders.

The three of them quickly settled on the initial disaster relief method. Rong Cen and the regent practiced the sand table many times, and they didn't find anything that was missed for the time being. They all felt relieved.

The calm before the storm, not the calm.

After the storm has subsided, there will be no peace.

At the moment, it is unclear whether there is a reverse pusher behind the scenes.But when the rain stops, those who are ready to move will surely be eager to be behind the scenes.

However, when soldiers come to block them, and water comes to cover them, who would be afraid?

Rong Cen looked at the half of the sacred tree that was billowing in smoke and scorched black, and his mind had calmed down.

Just wait for the rain to stop.

-

Nanxun.

The national capital is Fengning City.

The impact of rain on Nanxun is far greater than that of Dayin.

It rained for only three days, and there were already heavy casualties.

The living people were all drowned, not to mention the seedlings that had just been plowed in spring, they were completely hopeless.

This year, perhaps it was a divine punishment.

"Fifth Prince, please hurry up. Your Majesty has a request. The other two princes have been waiting for a long time, and you are the only one missing!"

The eunuch in light robes mourned with a long monkey face and urged in a shrill voice. Two hours had passed since the decree was issued. Wake up, but it is quite favored, and no one dares to disturb its rest.But it took so long to invite no one to see His Majesty, the old eunuch was sweating profusely for fear that he would be angered and lose his life.

Jiang Yun was urgently called back to the city by thirteen imperial decrees. He rushed on without sleep and restless. He just arrived in the middle of the night yesterday. He was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. After pouring down two more cups of tea to moisten his throat, he called the attendant to open the door of the bedroom and set out to face the saint.

In the imperial palace, his father was so anxious that his mouth was full of froth, and the two imperial brothers were also extremely gloomy and dejected.

"The fifth prince arrived—"

When the shrill announcement sounded outside the palace, Jiang Yun, the ruler of Nanxun, immediately stood up from the dragon chair.

He looked anxious, before Jiang Yun saluted and greeted him, he called out first: "Wubiao! You are finally back! This rain..."

Jiang Yun has always known that Yaozi traveled to the world, studied art with a teacher, and can see the way of heaven and predict the past.He deliberately wanted to ask, how long will it take for the rain to be reconciled?

But seeing that the other two ineffective sons were also present, he was afraid of revealing the secret and backlashing at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun has nothing to fear.

"This natural disaster can range from a few months to a few years."

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yun hadn't made up for his sleep, so he was woken up and rushed to meet him in a hurry. He still had a lingering laziness, but his expression was solemn, and his tone was extremely pleasing to the ears of Jiang Yun, the monarch of Nanxun. persuasive.

Seeing the disdainful eyes of the third and fourth sons, Jiang Yun grabbed the two memorials at any time, and threw them at the two rebellious and stupid sons at the same time.

"How many times have I said that one must be in awe of the heavens! What Wubiao said was prophesied by the gods... You two have to correct your attitude quickly!"

Seeing that the two of them were hit "Ouch, Ouch" but did not dare to be angry, endured the pain on the face, succumbed to the emperor's prestige and quickly knelt down, bowed his head respectfully and prostrated himself on the ground, "Yes, I know my mistake, I would like to obey the emperor's instruction!"

Jiang Yun thought that these two could be regarded as eye-catching, and maybe the rescue could still be used, so she patiently explained: "Wu Bian met a Sanxian when he was studying abroad, and he came from the same lineage as the one a hundred years ago. As a disciple, I taught him some skills to see the way of heaven."

After the words fell, the third and fourth princes raised their heads abruptly, and looked at the cloudy dragon eyes of the top for three or five breaths. There was just the right amount of shock in the pupils, and then turned their heads to look at Jiang Yun, who was tall and handsome.

Unbelievable, both of them felt resentment towards God's injustice. This kind of emotion was strong, but it was relatively secretive. No one else would notice that there was something wrong with their expressions. Unless they were extremely familiar, no one could see through, even His biological father, Jiang Yun, was also concealed.

Unaware of the abnormality of the two, Jiang Yun was a little relieved, and then said: "This is a top secret, and it is not enough for outsiders to understand. You are all impartial brothers, and you should unite to tide over the difficulties. Don't do it again if you hurt your siblings. !"

It sounds like a crime, but will there be fewer crimes in the royal family?Leaving aside the strife among concubines and concubines for the time being, the third and fourth princes alone have never committed any crimes against the princes and grandchildren.

The eldest son, Jiang Yuan, and the second son, Jiang Yinnai, were born of the queen, but they both died prematurely for some reason, one died of flames and the other died of torrential floods.

Yes, there was a flood in Nanxun about 20 years ago, but the rainy season that year was far inferior to the current flood, and no one was injured except the second prince.However, the second prince, who was only four or five years old in the Fengning royal family, was washed away.When it was found, there was only the corpse of a child who was soaked and swollen.

Today, there are only three princes, four princes, five princes and the only princess among the heirs of the Nanxun royal family.

The eldest third prince, Jiang Yu, was born of Yu Shishi, the favorite concubine. Because he was born in the first year of Changning, he had auspicious omens, so he took the word Changning out of the ordinary, and was named King Ning when he was crowned two years ago.

The fourth prince, Jiang Yan, was born of the noble concubine Chen's family, named Zichen, and was crowned King Chen a year ago.

The remaining five princes, Jiang Yun and Princess Anle, Jiang Yi, were all descendants of the empress.Strictly speaking, Jiang Yi Xingwu was born in the year the second prince died, and the next year she was overturned due to an earth dragon, and suffered from lifelong leg problems at a young age, and she always stayed behind closed doors.

As for Jiang Yun, he has always known that his birth was not so bright and aboveboard, not because of the love of his parents, but because the mother who lost her beloved son one after another wanted to leave a backer for her only daughter.

In the half stick of incense that was suddenly silent in the imperial palace, the four of them recalled the past in unison.

In the past twenty years, Jiang Yun is the most innocent existence.

If it weren't for the eldest son and the second son who died one after another, if it wasn't for the only child suffering from leg problems, then naturally there would be no Jiang Yun.

But the world is impermanent, God seems to like to play tricks on ordinary people the most, so it produces bitter fruit.

The third prince and the fourth prince have done a lot of tricks to this most favored younger brother, both openly and secretly, and most of the time they can succeed because the other party is easy to deceive.

Jiang Yun was shallow-minded when he was a child, no matter how much he was teased and humiliated, he would follow behind them regardless of past suspicions. Later, when he grew up and became familiar with the world, he would smile half-heartedly when he met everyone, and his thoughts were so deep that no one could see through them .

With his thoughts pulled back, in the imperial palace, the fourth prince Jiang Yan was the first to give a solemn assurance: "That's for sure! The fifth brother liked to pester my minister when I was young. The relationship between the two of us has been good since then. These years, the minister has been in the court. It's rare to be able to spare time, just as the natural disaster gave my son a chance to get along with my fifth younger brother, and the fifth younger brother is about to enter the imperial court, my son will definitely pass on all the experience of the past two years to him!"

Immediately afterwards, the third prince also expressed his brotherhood in front of the emperor: "Yes, the fifth brother didn't like reading when he was a child. This habit is not good. Seeing that he will be crowned in the court in two years, if he doesn't like it in the future Let the third brother take you to practice calligraphy and study? Fifth brother, don't dislike the nagging of the third brother!"

As soon as these words came out, the topic of "Jiang Yun knew the natural disaster prophecy of the gods" was changed to Jiang Yun himself.

"What the third and the fourth are saying is that you have been idle and playing for more than ten years, and just taking advantage of the natural disaster, you calm down to sharpen your restless temper, quit the dandyism of eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and don't talk to the palace anymore. I will study with your third and fourth brothers for two years, and you will be crowned in the court in the future... I don’t expect you to do anything, as long as you don’t make a big mistake out of ignorance.”

Sure enough, Jiang Yun began to talk clichéd.

Jiang Yun nodded and raised his eyebrows: "OK."

I can't be more clear about who I set up. Jiang Yun was very sad at first. When he was young, he asked his mother why his brother didn't like him, and often wiped his tears secretly, but he got used to it over the years, and after seeing it through, he didn't care at all. .If you don't expect, you won't be disappointed. It's nothing more than what goes in the left ear and out the right ear, so there's no need to embarrass yourself.

At this moment, he could even laugh lightly, obviously taking over what the two elder brothers had said, but secretly turning the topic back quietly: "Then why don't I just follow the third brother and the fourth brother now?" Learn, just after the rain, the plague is also a big problem."

As expected, Jiang Yun successfully attracted his attention: "Plague?! Unbiased, what you said is true? This is no joke!"

"That's natural."

Jiang Yun's expression was normal, and he calmly glanced at the two pupils beside him who were more shocked and dilated. After hearing those two words, some people's faces were obviously pale.

Without waiting for the holy words, he sat down as he wished, and poured tea to quench his thirst, but he didn't taste the high-quality imperial tea.Tilting his head innocently, he looked like a well-behaved child who relied on his father and brother, and his tone revealed his trust in his elder brother's ability, "Father, don't be impatient. With the third and fourth brothers around, there is nothing to fear from the mere plague."

A light and fluttering sentence is like roasting Jiang Yu Jiangyan on the fire.

Leaving aside whether this bastard Jiang Yun deliberately tricked them, if the plague is true...
