Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

After reviewing the documents, the Jade Emperor suddenly remembered what had happened in Jiangzhou and called out, "Clairvoyance!"

"Your Majesty sees you!"

Clairvoyance quickly stepped into the hall, bowed and saluted.

The Jade Emperor said: "Show me the situation in Jiangzhou."

"Yes!"

Clairvoyant went to the outside of the hall, covered his eyes with one hand, used his magical powers, and looked down, and the picture of Jiangzhou also appeared in the hall.

The Jade Emperor's face suddenly sank.

I saw that the farmland in Jiangzhou was lush and lush, and the wheat was growing happily, and some full ears were already visible.

Is this an early disaster?

Could it be that someone privately rained Jiangzhou?

But it's impossible to think about it. The Jade Emperor is still very confident in his authority, especially when the catastrophe is approaching, the gods are even more honest.

He looked carefully again, and soon found something wrong.

Throughout Jiangzhou, there are thousands of wells, which continuously provide clear springs, and the Jade Emperor's face can't help showing an angry look.

These mortals are really bold and reckless, do they really think that they can fight against the power of the sky with their mere mortal bodies?

"Come on, Xuan Feilian and Xuanming go to the palace!"

The Jade Emperor shouted sharply.

"Yes!"

A yellow turban warrior saluted and left.

Xuanming is also known as Yushi, and Feilian is Fengbo.

After a while, the two gods went to the hall and bowed to salute: "My minister pays homage to Your Majesty!"

The Jade Emperor pointed to the picture on the side, and said, "Ai Qing, take a look first."

The two gods turned their heads to look, Feng Bo was surprised and said: "Your Majesty once ordered that there will be no rain in Jiangzhou for a year, but the mortals in Jiangzhou are quite capable of making troubles, and they actually drilled thousands of wells."

The Jade Emperor said coldly: "Do you think I can't cure him because I can dig a well? The water from the Hongjiang River comes from the melting ice of the glacier in the upper reaches in summer. I order you two to go quickly. The glacier will be frozen by the cold wind and the snow will fall all over the sky. If the source of running water is lost, I see no use for him to dig more wells!"

"Yes, Weichen will do it now!"

The two gods saluted and left, and flew over the glacier with a cloud head, but saw tens of thousands of miles around, crystal clear, and in the center, there was a snow mountain with a height of [-] feet standing in the sky. Under the sunshine, the glacier slowly melted, and the water droplets Converging into streams, streams merge into small rivers, small rivers merge into big rivers, and the dense cobweb-like river channels finally converge into Hongjiang River, rushing down all the way, nourishing countless creatures along the coast.

Master Yu and Uncle Feng looked at each other, and they both sighed secretly. They both knew that if the source of the Hongjiang River was cut off, many people on both sides of the bank would die of hunger and thirst, but the Jade Emperor's will could not be disobeyed.

"Let's begin!"

Feng Bo waved his sleeve.

In an instant, there was a strong wind, and the cold wind blew all over the ice field. The rain master also cast spells at the same time. The heavy snow fell with the wind, and the melting glaciers gradually froze, and there was a dead silence everywhere.

Chapter 38 Wei Zheng's Chance

In the past few days, the inflow of water from the upper reaches has decreased sharply, and the beach at the bottom of the river has been exposed. In the shallow puddles that are shrinking and disappearing one by one, the fish and shrimp are dying. The shadow of early days shrouded everyone's heart, and the emergency letter from Yanjiang Prefecture flew to Chang'an like snowflakes.

"My dear fellows!"

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers with worried eyes, and asked: "The state capitals along the Hongjiang River have had little rainfall since the end of the year, even like Jiangzhou, where no rain has fallen, and the ponds and lakes are almost dry. They are barely maintained by drilling wells. Now the Hongjiang River The water level has dropped sharply, and the wells can't get any water. This is only April, if it doesn't rain again in May and June, I'm afraid catastrophe will be inevitable. Do you have a good plan?"

Wei Zheng went out, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, last year the Hongjiang River was flooded, and this year it's drought, it's very strange. I thought about it carefully, and there are two reasons.

First, His Majesty did not issue an imperial edict last year, so disasters followed one after another this year.

Second, last year all the state capitals along the Hongjiang River broke their embankments, but Jiangzhou was the only one that blocked the flood. I thought that the gods care about face, and Tianwei is not allowed to be sympathetic to ordinary people. Therefore, another source of the Hongjiang drought should fall On Chen E, the prefect of Jiangzhou. "

"nonsense!"

Yin Kaishan was furious and sternly said: "You old man, you have repeatedly and repeatedly confronted His Majesty and my son-in-law, what are your intentions?"

Wei Zheng said calmly: "Wei has selflessness, the world can learn from it!"

Li Shimin glanced suspiciously at Wei Zheng, he didn't understand why Wei Zheng always wanted to commit crimes himself.

In fact, this is also due to Li Shimin's unclear identity in his previous life. In his previous life, he was Emperor Zhongtian Ziwei. Although he was listed among the four emperors under the name of the Jade Emperor, in the older era, there were six emperors in the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor was only one of the six emperors. One, because he got the Peach Garden and grasped the lifeline of the gods, he stood out and surpassed the four emperors. In terms of Taoism and supernatural powers, even if the Jade Emperor is higher than the four emperors, he is very limited.

And Wei Zheng, as the star king of Wuqu, naturally knew that the Jade Emperor had the intention to subdue the four emperors. If Li Shimin issued an edict of guilt, it would be tantamount to admitting his guilt, and his luck would be cut off, which would affect the emperor Zhongtian Ziwei in his previous life. In the future, when Li Shimin returns to heaven, his luck will be weakened, and the degree of protection from heaven will decrease accordingly. Will he be able to fight against the Jade Emperor again?

This is also the fundamental reason why Wei Zheng seized the opportunity and always asked Li Shimin to issue his own edict.

Although he secretly took refuge in the Buddhist sect, the Buddhist sect did not give him any promises. He still wanted to show it in front of the Jade Emperor and win the Jade Emperor's favor.

In fact, in the past dynasties, there are not a few emperors who have sinned against themselves, and they do not have much influence on the imperial power. Li Shimin originally rejected him, and there may be no subconsciousness in his previous life blocking him.

Why did Emperor Ziwei reincarnate in the lower world?Isn't it to establish a peaceful and prosperous world, to obtain merits in the world, and to better resist the catastrophe?

The Edict of Guilt is self-confessed, and even he thinks he is guilty, so how could the way of heaven give him merit?

Li Shimin said in displeasure, "Does Wei Aiqing insist that I issue an edict to punish myself?"

Wei Zhengdao: "I'm just suggesting that it's up to Your Majesty whether to issue an edict, but Chen Guangrui can no longer be allowed to do anything wrong. Your Majesty should immediately issue an order to arrest him in Dali Temple for questioning."

Yin Kaishan laughed loudly: "Could it be that if you have made great contributions to water control, you are guilty of saving millions of people in Jiangzhou?"

Wei Zheng said indifferently: "Going against the will of God is a crime."

Yin Kaishan asked back: "What is God's will? Last year there was a lot of rain, but this year there is little rain. Isn't it common? His Majesty conquered the East and West in the early years, ended the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, saved the people from suffering, and restored the world to peace. Yun Changlong, is it not God’s will that the national power of the Tang Dynasty is flourishing day by day? But you have repeatedly forced His Majesty to condemn yourself, and you have repeatedly instigated His Majesty to remove capable officials and good ministers. What is your intention? Who is going against God’s will?

Let me ask you again, is Dayu also guilty of controlling the waters to last forever? "

"This"

Wei Zheng was at a loss for words immediately.

Dayu is a saint in the world!

Yin Kaishan went all out, pointed at Wei Zheng and said angrily: "In the sixth year of Zhenguan, you once said that the minister promised the country with his body, walked straight, and would not dare to bully him. I hope that the minister will be a good minister and not a loyal minister. At that time, the whole court praised you, and everyone said that your majesty has received good ministers, but if you look closely at your experience, it is very rich!

You first voted for Li Mi. In the first year of Wude, you followed Li Mi to the Tang Dynasty. In September of the same year, you were captured by Dou Jiande and served as a housekeeper. It was not until the fourth year of Wude that His Majesty captured Dou Jiande alive, and you were able to return to Tang. Your Majesty has the grace to save you and return to the Tang Dynasty. , you were supposed to join the Tiance Mansion, but what is surprising is that you voted for Crown Prince Yin and carefully planned for him. The crown prince's rebellion failed and he was punished, and then you turned to His Majesty four times. Based on what you said earlier, you are indeed a good minister, a great good minister! "

As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng's complexion changed dramatically. Even though Lu Bu was called a slave of three surnames, and he was the master of four changes, as long as Li Shimin mishandled him a little, he would be beheaded immediately, and he would plop down on his knees and burst into tears With a full face, he choked up and said: "I have a straightforward personality. Since I was taken in by Your Majesty, I have worked hard and dared not be negligent. If Your Majesty thinks that I have ulterior motives, please push me out and behead him, as a warning to others!"

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, Yin Kaishan's stern words spoke to his heart, he favored Wei Zheng because of political needs, and he didn't really like people following behind him all day to find fault.
