Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 413 Want to pray for rain?
Chapter 413 Want to pray for rain?
"Could it be... because of King Youzhou?" Suddenly, someone reminded in a low voice.

This person is not the patriarch of Qiwang with five surnames, but he is the head of a small family that is a vassal of Qiwang.

His reminder really shocked the other people present.

"It makes sense! The king of Youzhou secretly returned to the capital. As soon as he came back, he was ordered to dig a well. At this time, it was reported that the emperor wanted to pray for rain. If it is said that the two have nothing to do with each other, I don't believe it either!" Patriarch Li nodded. road.

Everyone else felt uneasy because of this.

"If it's really because of King Youzhou that he prayed for rain, then this prayer for rain must be successful?" The other person hesitated, "If the emperor really succeeds in praying for rain, wouldn't it be..."

Then wouldn't all the things they did before be wasted?

They still hope to use the drought to create public opinion among the people!
So the emperor wanted to pray for rain?
And this prayer for rain may have something to do with King Youzhou?These people were also a little creepy when they thought that King Youzhou had never missed one of his more than 100 wells.

They really believed in the king of Youzhou, Qin Yang, and he was a little bit capable!
If the other party does have some tricks against the rain, wouldn't that be bad?

Someone hurriedly said: "It's not unusual for some folk craftsmen to light wells. As for rain, this is a bigger matter. Being able to light wells may not necessarily control rainwater. If you can control rainwater, wouldn't you be a god?" This is impossible!"

Others also agreed.

But that is to say, until the end of the meeting, the frustration always surrounds everyone who participated in the meeting.

This is the other courtyard of the Li family. Everyone else has left, but the owner of the Li family has not left.

At this moment, a servant came in and reported to him: "My lord, I just got the news that Changsun Huan was whipped more than a dozen times by Changsun Wuji's family law, and he has already been grounded."

"What?" Hearing the news, Patriarch Li raised his eyebrows slightly. "It was discovered so soon?"

The servant carefully replied: "According to the information I got, it was Changsun Huan who took the initiative to say something to Changsun Wuji, which triggered the family law."

So, it was Chang Sun Huan who blew himself up?

Patriarch Li hated iron for being weak, shook his head and said, "What a waste!"

Success is not enough and failure is more than enough!
However, he was not the main leader in this matter. He just discovered the remnants of the Boling Cui family's direct branch and hooked up with Changsun Huan, so he kept quiet and wanted to wait for Changsun Huan to really do something irreparable. After the incident, he used this incident to blackmail Changsun Wuji.

They had thought about controlling Changsun Wuji to be used by them before, but it was a pity that Changsun Wuji was old and cunning, and had a high position and authority, so there was no way to make the other party submit except by using some low-level methods.

However, in Li's view, those who make big things don't care about small things.

For the head of the Li family, as long as he can kill Qin Yang, as long as the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes can return to their heyday, whether it is doing villainous things or using other dirty methods, it doesn't matter to him. .

Everything should be done!
In his opinion, this is sacrificing himself for the family!

The reason why he somewhat looked down on the former Patriarch of the Boling Cui Clan was because the other party was the Patriarch, but he was selfish and didn't think about the Boling Cui Clan at all, but thought about himself first.

Unlike these people, although they are the heads of the family, their words and deeds are actually for the sake of the family behind them.

Thinking of this, the Li family leader said to his subordinates: "Changsun Wuji, you continue to watch. Once Changsun Huan contacts those people again, you will let people watch and keep the evidence, understand?"

"Yes, sir." The man obeyed and stepped back.

Patriarch Li sat where he was, looking at the sky outside the door.

The weather is cloudless and clear, whether it is day or night, the sky of Chang'an City is always so clear.

And this also effectively calmed Patriarch Li's mood.

For Li Jiazhu, this time Li Shimin went on stage to pray for rain.

As long as the prayer for rain fails, it means that their side will win without a fight!
But if they succeeded in praying for rain, then they would be directly defeated.

Because the hands and feet that were done before will be useless.

Therefore, whether praying for rain is successful or not is a decisive "battle".

"I hope the weather will remain the same in the next period of time." He said silently in his heart.

At the same time, the common people who learned that Li Shimin was going to the sky to pray for rain thought completely differently from Patriarch Li.

As common people, they naturally hope that the world will be peaceful.

It hasn't rained in Chang'an City, which is just making people panic at the moment, but if it doesn't rain for a long time, the consequences will be serious.

So for the common people, if it rains at this time, it will definitely be able to appease people's hearts.

The news from the palace made them very excited.

Different from those aristocratic families, ordinary people have blind trust in the emperor!

If the emperor is in their hearts, then he is someone with a lot of history!
Otherwise, why can someone be an emperor?
And if such a well-established person prays for rain, it must be completely different from other people praying for rain!
"Will it rain? The emperor prayed for rain himself, so it must be raining, right?"

"I think it will rain too, but I don't know if it will be heavy or light."

"I hope it will rain heavily, but if not, just a light rain will do. The ground is almost dry and cracked. It's okay now. But when summer comes, if it doesn't rain, life will really be unbearable."

Is it just relying on the well to eat?

It’s enough to eat, but what to do with the crops?
Use well water to water crops?

Far can't quench near thirst!

These words are also practical for crops!
Therefore, whether the people believe it or not, they all hope that this matter is true!

They don't want to hear words of discouragement!Don't want to hear the voice of frustration!

Because of the attitude of the people, those who originally wanted to fish in troubled waters and have a little rhythm have temporarily died down.

Now if they speak ill of Li Shimin or the king of Youzhou, they will definitely be discovered and sent to officials, and those who are better will probably get a fat beating.

Anyway, as long as Li Shimin can't pray for rain, when the rain praying ceremony is over, there will be plenty of time to set the pace and make the people dissatisfied with the emperor.

With this expectation, these people waited for the day to pray for rain.

The time set by Li Shimin started at Chen Shi.

Before Chen Shi, Li Shimin had already brought all the civil and military officials and the royal family to the vicinity of the Rain Prayer Terrace.

There are sheds erected nearby.

This shed can not only temporarily shelter from the rain, but also keep Li Shimin and the others from being exposed to the bright sun during the waiting time.

When these people came to the scene and looked up at the still sunny weather, they felt a little desperate.

How can it rain in such good weather?

The emperor chose this time to pray for rain, is it really okay?
