Born of Worry

Li Ye stayed bored in Ruyuexuan for half an hour before waiting for the rain to stop. When he went out, he wondered whether to go to the general's mansion or the Yuege first. Thinking about it, Lin Ruxuan couldn't escape anyway, so he should go to the Yuege first. By the way Buy some "moon-watching" and come back.

Don't ask him why Lin Ruxuan doesn't live with him in Wofeng Palace anymore, since the "scandal" happened that time, this brat refused to go back with him, saying that it's not good to cuddle every day in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, so he just fucked it. Why didn't you say this when you lived in Shuang before?Now feel that there is no one in the general's mansion, and you are at ease?If you don't come over, why don't you let me go?How childish.

Lin Ruxuan had already passed the three-year filial piety period, and there was no taboo anymore, and the scandal a few years ago did not come to light after a short period of time.He was promoted to an official position, and he has been on the rise all the way. He is no longer the little general who was impeached at the beginning, and no one can shake his position.

However, the more he behaved like this, the more uneasy Li Ye became. He was afraid that one day he would find a wife and go home to carry on the family line. Fortunately, he didn't have this idea yet, and he probably won't come back straight after being bent for a while.In order to prevent him from coming back straight away, Li Ye had to rush to find him every day, trying to break him up a bit more, and bought him some good wine and food from time to time to bribe him, so that it was rumored that he became a virtuous wife and a good wife. In the end, he was the one who was pushed and fucked.

Alas, these days are bitter...

After thinking about it, he walked to the Moon Pavilion, Li Ye knocked on the door and went in, but was told that Ruyue was not here and had gone on a trip, so he couldn't help being at a loss.What if someone robs her?

But he couldn't say that, so he had to buy two altars of Mochizuki from others, and left resentfully.

The rain stopped, and Li Xian didn't want to stay in the bedroom, so Mo Wen went to make him dinner again, so he went out for a walk to get some fresh air.

The steps outside the hall were covered with water. He walked very carefully, but he didn't want to step on something, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Ji Ying was about to come to him and helped him: "Be careful, Your Majesty!"

"...Thank you." Li Xian was a little embarrassed and made a fool of himself in front of outsiders, and hurriedly wanted to bring this topic up, so he asked, "General Ji came to see me for something?"

This Ji Ying was naturally the champion of the last martial arts examination. Li Xian made her a general of Changning and formed a new red tassel army for her; If there is a "Qi", shouldn't it be worthy of a "Lin"? He was named General Yunhui; Wu Tanhua Yang Qingping, named General Zhaowu, led the Guangming Army.

Of course, their officials must be lower than Lin Ruxuan's. After several years of training, Li Xian found that these people's talents in commanding the army are not bad, and there were no major problems, so he was relieved.At the beginning, the Xuanjia Army was allowed to follow secretly, but later it was no longer necessary.

"Yes." Ji Ying helped him back to the imperial study, and said, "The matter that His Majesty told you last time has been done, and there is no evil intentions found, and there is no fraudulent behavior. The same is true for Tenglin Army and Guangming Army. Your Majesty can rest assured."

The imperial examination three years ago left a deep impression on people. In addition to the previous case of Zhao Chou, the emperor's meaning is also very obvious: if you want to be an official, you can, but you don't want to take bribes; Don't; cheaters, don't.

Li Xian nodded, and said: "Three years, if there are, they should show their feet. It's good if they don't, so that I don't have to worry about dealing with them."

"His Majesty……"

"how?"

"There is one more thing, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"speak."

"Yes. A few days ago, I overheard my brother say that Weishui..."

Li Xian frowned, "What about the Wei River? The dam is going to burst?"

"Your Majesty knows? My brother told His Majesty?"

"No, I guessed it." Li Xian felt cold, "What else did he say?"

"It seems to be nothing, and I haven't heard too much. Now that Lord Wang is not here, although my brother is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is still not good at water conservancy. I am afraid that he will not dare to tell His Majesty, and I will miss the matter, so I privately decide to replace it." He said it, please His Majesty not to punish him."

"...No, I will ask him to come over and ask."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty still has something to tell me, if not, I won't bother you."

"It's all right, you can go."

"Yes." Ji Ying stood up with her fists clasped, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Your Majesty should rest more, nothing is as important as a dragon's body."

Li Xian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "General Ji is bothering you."

Ji Ying left the hall, but lingered at the door for a while before leaving.It was almost dusk, and the sun might not come out again today, but she still remembered that day when she first saw the young Emperor Dayin, dressed in an extraordinary black and red dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair. Young man, he is obviously not outstanding in any way, but he is clearly...unforgettable.

She sighed softly, stepped on the stagnant water on the steps and left the palace.

However, no matter how much Li Xian wanted to make the people better, no matter how much he sent people to the Lianghuai River to pray for rain, no matter how hard he tried to strengthen the Weishui River dam,...God, he would never allow people's wishes to come true.

The Huai River had been cut off for several months, and even if he stepped up to transfer food from other provinces, it still couldn't meet the needs of so many people, and the number of people who starved to death one after another did not know how many there were.

Whenever he thought of these, his heart ached like a knife.

On the other hand, the Wei River was just the opposite. The continuous torrential rains in the Wei River Basin caused the Wei River to swell, and people fell into the river and drowned almost every day. Moreover, the farmland was flooded, and the crops were poorly harvested.Not only did he want to adjust grain to Lianghuai, but he also wanted to adjust grain to the Weishui area, but how could there be so much grain in the world that could be adjusted.Coupled with the large amount of silver required for disaster relief, the treasury's spending is increasing day by day. The money stolen from Zhao Zhao's home last time has already been exhausted. If the drought and flood continue, the treasury may not be able to last for a few more years.

If this continues, he really doesn't know if the people in Huaiwei can survive this summer.

For the first time since being the emperor, he felt such unspeakable despair.

He has the ability to deal with man-made disasters, but he has no way to resist natural disasters.

"Little Xian, do you really want to go to Lianghuai to pray for rain?"

"Um……."

"But you have already been there twice, is it necessary...do you want to go again?"

"Yes..." Li Xian sighed, and unconsciously rubbed the corner of Mo Wen's clothes with his fingers. Still have to go."

"Little Xian..."

"what?"

Mo Wen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it after all, Li Xian frowned at him: "What's wrong?"

"I... I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you this time."

"why?"

"There are...some things in the clan, I have to go back."

"...Is it necessary to go?"

"I have to go."

Li Xian lowered his eyes, "Then... when will you leave? How soon will you be back?"

"You leave on the day you set off, how long will you come back... I can't be sure, it may be a few days, or it may be a long time."

"Okay then... I'll wait for your return."

"……Um."

The day before his departure, Li Xian had arranged all the affairs, and it was time for the old man Lin Xingzhi to come in handy.Li Xian wanted to rest at night, but Mo Wen came over to kiss him.

"Mo Wen..." He closed his eyes and gently pushed him, "I'm very tired, let's try another day."

There was a trace of imperceptible loss in Mo Wen's eyes, but he still said, "Okay."

He sat on the edge of the bed and watched the emperor fall asleep. After watching for a long time, he suddenly got up and lit a stick of incense in the incense burner beside the bed, then returned to the bed, leaned down to his ear, and said softly: " Remember next time, don't burn the wrong incense..."

Li Xian's eyelids trembled, but he didn't wake up.

He stretched out his hand to gently touch his cheek, his eyes full of reluctance.

Xiao Xian...

sorry... please let me last...

Lie to you again.
