From eunuch to emperor

Xianhe City.

Si Nongqing and Sun Lu stood under the eaves, watching the pouring rain, and sighed, "The rain in Nanliang is really heavy. How can there be such a heavy rain in Dazhou?"

Luo Qiwei, the commander of the North Camp, said with a smile: "Master Sun, if we had such a heavy rain in Dazhou, there would have been victims all over the place."

Sun Lu quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense."

If such a heavy rain really fell in Dazhou, there must be floods and sorrows everywhere.

Luo Qiwei smiled, knowing that this was unlucky, so she stopped saying it.

Looking back at the study, the empress was still discussing matters inside and did not summon Sun Lu.

Sun Lu was in charge of farming. When the rainstorm came, the Empress was worried that the crops would be affected, so she summoned Sun Lu to discuss the matter.

But after arriving, the empress stayed inside all the time, but she didn't summon Sun Lu, which made Sun Lu a little confused.

"The Holy Majesty will discuss the matter of attacking Linhu City again?"

Sun Lu said to himself.

Luo Qiwei did not answer, such a question cannot be said.

What the emperor is doing, the courtiers cannot guess, let alone discuss it openly.

in the room.

Yingfeng was looking for some records of Nanliang, with more than a dozen candles lit beside her, the empress frowned, carefully searching for the records of that year.

"Really are..."

The Empress' complexion suddenly changed, and she jumped up.

Sun Lu and Luo Qiwei outside the door felt the wave of true energy, and their hearts thumped in fright.

Empress rarely does this, something must have happened.

Yingfeng said anxiously: "Then why didn't Li Chengdao take any action?"

The empress shook her head and said: "Impossible, since Li Chengdao knew that the lake mouth could be blocked, he wouldn't just sit and watch Long Chen block the lake mouth."

"Li Chengdao must have a plan, you should inform Long Chen immediately, and then bring fifty thousand Long family troops! Call Wu Jian!"

Yingfeng got the order, turned around and left the study, found Wu Jian, and immediately led [-] troops to Linhu.

Sun Lu watched Yingfeng leave in a hurry outside the door, and didn't know what happened, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Luo Qiwei watched Yingfeng leave in astonishment, also in a daze.

Just today, the Empress suddenly remembered that when Linhu City was flooded, it seemed that Li Chengdao was in charge of disaster relief.

Thinking of this, the empress broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately searched for historical materials to check.

Sure enough, Li Chengdao was really in charge of disaster relief.

That means that Long Chen's strategy of flooding Linhu City cannot fool Li Chengdao.

But it's strange, after such a long time, why did Li Chengdao sit and watch Long Chen seal off the lake mouth, but didn't take any action to fight back?

The only explanation is that Li Chengdao is holding back his big move, and he has secretly prepared it.

The Empress wished she could rush over to help, but she was also afraid that the ghost would take the opportunity to sneak attack, so she sent Yingfeng to lead the troops to reinforce.

...

The west gate of Linhu City.

A soldier hurried up the city wall, and Yan Xi asked, "Was the lake water so high during the rainstorm before?"

The soldier didn't even look at it and said, "General, there is no such thing. In previous years, the lake's water rose up to the shore at most during the rainy season. There is a stone pillar there, which is used to record the highest water level."

Yan Xi looked at the lake, but couldn't see any stone pillars at all.

Wu Hongying felt that the matter was too strange, there must be something wrong.

"Old Yan, the water in this lake is still rising. If this continues, we will all be fish and turtles."

Yan Xi also knew that the matter was urgent, and it was clearly a water attack.

"Could it be that Long Chen really played tricks?"

Yan Xi immediately thought that Long Chen was building a ship in the southwest, and felt something was wrong at that time, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Now I understand, Long Chen is tinkering with water attack.

"I think it's Long Chen playing tricks, report it to the Holy Son immediately."

Wu Hongying was in a hurry, Yan Xi immediately went down to the place where the ghost fetus was.

Braving the torrential rain, the two arrived outside the door, but their followers stopped them.

Yan Xi explained the reason, and his followers went in to report, and they took off their coir raincoats and bamboo hats and went in.

There is also a lot of stagnant water in the backyard, and there is also a turbid lake.

"The servant pays homage to the Holy Son."

The two knelt and kowtowed outside the door.

Guitai was sitting in the room, with Feng Erniang standing beside her.

"Is the lake rising?"

The ghost said coldly.

Yan Xi immediately crawled over, kowtowed and said: "The rainstorm doesn't stop, the lake has already submerged the highest water level, and the west gate has started to pour back. If this continues, I'm afraid the city will be flooded."

The ghost fetus has long heard Feng Erniang say that the lake is flooding.

Not only Ximen, there are sewers under the streets in the city, and domestic sewage is usually discharged into the lake through the sewers.

The backflow of the lake water came in from the sewer first, and Feng Erniang had already realized that something was wrong.

The ghost now also understands that it must be Long Chen who is doing something at the mouth of the lake, otherwise it would be impossible for the lake to skyrocket.

The ghosts were very depressed, and they had called them to discuss it once before, and they all said it was okay.

Well now, report any problems.

"Reduced to the country of Ze, you bastards are just like ducks in water."

The ghost sneered coldly.

Yan Xi and Wu Hongying didn't dare to answer.

At this time, if you speak carelessly, you will die.

"I asked you if there was anything wrong, and they all said no, now that the situation is like this, you are the only ones who dare to confront Long Chen and die!"

The two were so scolded that they trembled and lay on the ground, not daring to move.

The two thought to themselves: Even you can't guess, we know what a fart!

"Be prepared for a water battle, the rain won't stop for a while!"

The ghost cursed, and the two immediately kowtowed and crawled out of the room.

Back in the front yard, the two of them were soaked in clothes, rain and sweat.

"He doesn't even know, how do we know, this place has never been flooded before."

Wu Hongying muttered something, but Yan Xi remembered something, and said in a low voice: "I remember that when the first emperor was in power, the emperor seemed to come here to relieve disasters..."

Having said that, Wu Hongying also had an impression, and suddenly said: "It seems... yes."

However, thinking of this matter, the two became even more puzzled.

"Why didn't the emperor say it?"

Yan Xi said doubtfully.

Daliang is Li Chengdao's mainstay. If Daliang collapses, Li Chengdao will be the king of subjugation.

Why did Li Chengdao deliberately conceal such important information?

Wu Hongying looked towards the backyard and said in a low voice, "Do you want to..."

Yan Xi shook his head immediately, and said: "Such right and wrong must never be revealed. You and I are not the only ones who know about it. If you want to tell others, we won't say it!"

Yan Xi immediately vetoed the idea of ​​suing, Li Chengdao and Guitai are not easy to save fuel.

The ghost is vicious, and Li Chengdao is also vicious.

If Li Chengdao didn't say anything, there was a reason why he didn't say anything. If they couldn't figure it out, they couldn't figure it out, and they absolutely couldn't get involved.

The way to be an official lies in self-protection.

You treat the king like a parent, and the king treats you like nothing.

A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor Taoist. Anyway, being an official is just a job. If you change the emperor, you can still be a minister, so why bother to work hard.

Look at Yu Fuguo, in Long Chen's hands, he still leads the Imperial City Division.

Wu Hongying nodded and said: "That's right, there are still many old ministers in the city, and they also know what happened back then, let them talk about it."

Yan Xi sneered and said: "I'm afraid no one will talk about this matter, who dares to poke the big mess, the sky will fall, and the one who poked it will be smashed to death first."

Having been an official for so many years, I know very well that in the officialdom, after stabbing a swindler, the higher-ups will not block the basket, but will give priority to killing the stalker.

As long as no one stabs Lou Zi, Lou Zi does not exist, everyone is happy, and then makes money.

Wu Hongying nodded and said, "It makes sense, but it's strange to think about it. The Holy Son has lived for hundreds of years. Doesn't he know what happened back then?"

The ghost fetus is said to have lived for hundreds of years, so that should have happened at that time.

Yan Xi said: "Perhaps in his opinion, it's a matter of sesame seeds, not worth mentioning, so I don't know."

Wu Hongying nodded slightly, it is indeed possible.

"The Holy Son asked us to prepare for the water battle, how should we prepare?"
