Chapter 336
The abbot of Guangbei Temple said so, and all the ministers left naturally.But Jun Yi and Li Dan didn't. They stood on the left and right, not afraid of the rain hitting them. They would stand here as long as Gu Junchen knelt here.
Before the second prince left, he gave Gu Junchen a sneering look. This battle has just begun.So what if Gu Junchen guessed that Qin Tianjian had lied?Qin Tianjian will not live until tomorrow.
Royal Palace.
"The emperor is not well. The water in the moat has risen, and the low-lying places have been flooded by the river."
"Your Majesty, some villages in the outskirts of Beijing have been severely flooded."
"Flooding has been worst near the eastern suburbs."
Emperor Zhao Ning's eyebrows could hold a brush. "How's the situation over there?" Why didn't Qin Tianjian account for this kind of weather? "Dahai, go to the Qin Tianjian."
"The sacrifice to the gods is over. His Royal Highness ordered all civil and military officials to return first, leaving only the abbot of Guangbei Temple to chant scriptures and pray for Buddha with him."
"Junchen is still on the altar?" Although Emperor Zhaoning didn't like being an emperor, he still had the basic brains to be an emperor.Qin Tianjian didn't calculate today's situation, or did he deliberately conceal it?It is impossible without calculating it, otherwise how can it be called Qin Tianjian? That is concealment, if it is intentional concealment, what is the purpose?You bastard... The purpose of deliberately concealing it is to target Junchen.No, in this case, it was the crown prince.Emperor Zhao Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of Gu Junchen's impromptu handling.Fortunately, Junchen didn't come back and stayed at the altar. "Emperor doctors get ready, go to the altar and wait for the crown prince." This heavy rain is unbearable for ordinary people.Fortunately, Junchen is in good health, but even so, Emperor Zhaoning is not at ease.
"The emperor is not well, Qin Tianjian is dead."
Emperor Zhao Ning shook his body, Qin Tianjian died at this time? "Quickly, pass it on to Dali Temple Minister."
"The Minister of Dali Temple is still on his way back from worshiping the gods." Eunuch Hai reminded.
"When he comes back, hurry up and find out about this matter." Emperor Zhao Ning said again, "Let's go, you follow Zhen Qin Tianjian to have a look."
"Yes." Eunuch Hai followed.
The death of Qin Tianjian showed a problem, there must be something wrong with what happened today.But likewise, the truth about Qin Tianjian's death was also hidden and covered up.
At the same time, Li Luo, with Li Changcheng and Wei Sheng, had arrived at the border of the capital.Driving...they just reached the border of the capital, and it was raining cats and dogs.
"The weather was fine just now." Wei Sheng said, "Why did it rain when we got here?"
"This is a temporary shower in some areas." Li Luo replied.
"Look, Lord Hou." Li Changcheng pointed to the village over there, "The river washed away the village, and according to the direction, it is the water of the moat." They came to the eastern suburbs specially to watch the ritual ceremony, although it was too late, but It's good to see it a few times, but I didn't expect to encounter this thing.
"It's strange, today's weather, how could it be the auspicious time chosen by Qin Tianjian?" Wei Sheng said.
"Could Qin Tianjian make a mistake in choosing an auspicious time?" Li Luo asked.
Wei Sheng shook his head: "It's definitely not. If Qin Tianjian makes mistakes, many things will go wrong in the court. How can we use him?" Wei Sheng is actually not sure, but he thinks that there should be no mistakes.
"Whether there is a mistake or not, the flooding of the village and the day the prince sacrificed to the gods will definitely have a bad influence on him." Li Luo thought for a while, "Do you know where there is a stone tablet?"
"My subordinates will look for them immediately." Li Changcheng and Wei Sheng said in unison.
Li Luo nodded: "Find the stele and come to the upper reaches of this village to find me. I'm there."
After Li Changcheng and Wei Sheng left, Li Luo went to the secret guard left by Junchen again: "Go and inform the Jingwei camp in the eastern suburbs, and go to rescue the water immediately."
"Go to the capital and find the owner of Chengxin Pharmacy, and ask him to transport a large amount of anti-cold and fever-reducing medicinal materials to a place where the water level is high and will not be submerged... Let's go to Jingwei Camp in the eastern suburbs. The location of the Jingwei Camp in the eastern suburbs is good. It will not be affected by the river water of the moat."
"Send another person to the altar to tell His Highness the Crown Prince so that he doesn't have to worry about the flood."
The secret guard had a doubt: "How does Lord Hou know that His Highness the Crown Prince is still on the altar?"
"It must be here. If he leaves, the rumors will be against him." Li Luo replied.
"Yes, this subordinate will go right away."
Li Luo walked along the mountain road to the upper reaches of the affected village.The water of the moat came down from here, and then diverged to form branches, and the water rushed to different villages along the branches.There are three branches here, so there are at least three affected villages.Therefore, they have to block two of the branches to reduce the spread.Before Li Changcheng and Wei Sheng came, Li Luo continued to go up the water.
Until the moat side.Li Luo checked the bank of the moat again. If the river was rising, it should have washed down directly from the bank. The water poured down from the entire bank like a waterfall, but obviously it wasn't here.The river has risen, but only through a gap on one side.
On the water bank of the moat, there are protective fences, which make the river bank higher.This project should be done by the imperial court, in order to prevent villagers from entering, falling into the water, and causing casualties.Therefore, villagers are forbidden to enter and exit.But now, a part of the artificially high river bank has collapsed, and the water is coming out of this place.Li Luo couldn't be sure whether it was a natural collapse or a man-made collapse, but there were too many things that happened recently, and these things were connected together, plus the second prince's small actions, he would rather suspect that it was caused by the second prince.On the day when Gu Junchen offered sacrifices to the gods, such a thing happened... But how did the second prince know that the moat would swell on this day?
Li Luofei came to the river bank.Because the heavy rain is still falling, even if the water in the moat does not continue to rise, even though the heavy rain is pouring, the river water continues to rush down.As long as the heavy rain falls, the water here will flow as long. Therefore, the longer the heavy rain lasts, the greater the damage will be to the people in the village below.But the rain disaster cannot be controlled by others.
altar.
Because of Li Luo's order, the hidden guard went directly to the altar.
"Who?" Even if it was raining heavily at the moment, Jun Yi and Li Dan did not dare to relax.Someone approached, and it came from below, and they were immediately on alert.
"Chief Guard, Deputy Commander Li." The dark guard said.
It turned out to be the secret guard of the Prince's Mansion, Jun Yi and Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief. "Aren't you secretly protecting the young master?" Jun Yi asked.Don't let anything happen to that one, if something happens to that one, His Highness will definitely be upset.
"Young Lord has arrived safely, and is dealing with the flooding of the village under the moat." The dark guard said, "This subordinate is following the order of Young Lord to inform His Highness that he is safe, Your Highness, please don't worry."
"Can there be an accident on the way?" Jun Yi asked.
The dark guard shook his head: "Mr. Wei made three human-skin masks, Captain Darkwood and the others changed their appearances into the appearances of Young Master, Chief Guard Li and Wei Sheng to lure away the enemies hiding in the dark. Back to the capital, so the journey is safe."
"Understood, you step back." Gu Junchen finally spoke.
"No." The dark guard left immediately.
Then, Gu Junchen stood up: "Tell me, now everyone is busy dealing with the flood and resisting the heavy rain, and the unfavorable rumors about Gu have not yet spread. If Gu has cut off his chance to spread rumors before that, he will how?"
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Li Dan asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was attacked by assassins on the altar, and his life is dying." Gu Junchen said. "Go, tell the second prince that Gu wants to see him for the last time before he dies."
The imperial doctors were waiting for His Royal Highness under the altar, but they were very comfortable, sitting in the carriage.He suddenly heard a group of footsteps approaching, then opened the curtains, and saw several men in black rushing up to the altar.After a while, they heard a voice from the altar: "There are assassins, Your Highness is injured."
Your Highness is injured?The hearing of the imperial doctors was very good at the moment, so they hurriedly got out of the carriage and let the altar go up.
If something happened to His Highness, they would definitely not have to live until tomorrow.They had only gone up a few steps when they saw Jun Yi and Li Dan rushing down protecting the bleeding Gu Junchen, while the abbot of Guangbei Temple was fighting the assassin.
"Quick, come here quickly." The imperial physician shouted, "Hurry up and send His Highness to the carriage."
"Quick." Gu Junchen from the county caressed him into the carriage.
"You guys go first, I'll break up with Master." Li Dan said.
"Well, be careful, take care." Jun Yi said.
Gu Junchen was injured by an arrow, and the arrow was also on his chest, the same place as the second prince that day.The imperial doctor's hands were trembling. After all, the current patient is His Royal Highness, and he is really afraid.However, after examination, it was found that His Royal Highness's injury was not serious. "Your Highness, I'm going to draw the arrow, please bear with me." The imperial physician said softly.
Gu Junchen held the imperial physician's hand: "Is Gu going to die?" His hand was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to crush the prince's wrist.But his eyes were a little confused, and his voice was weak and lifeless.
The imperial doctor held Gu Junchen's hand with the other hand: "Don't worry, Your Highness, your injury is not serious, you will be fine after waking up from sleep, let the next official draw the arrow first, the longer the arrow stays in the wound, the more unfavorable it is to the wound .”
"Get out." Gu Junchen suddenly became angry, "You see Gu is lying to Gu when he is about to die, do you want to do something to Gu when he is seriously injured?
"Your Highness, I have wronged you." The imperial doctor was sweating on his forehead, and he knew that the patient was difficult.But now that the patient is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he can't ignore it.
"Injustice?" Gu Junchen sneered, "You all want to die alone, you want to be a prince, do you think Gu doesn't know?" Gu Junchen's body suddenly rose, and he grabbed the imperial doctor's neck with his other hand, "Say, Are you sent by the Second Prince to assassinate Gu?"
"No, my majesty, Your Highness, please let go...let go." If he doesn't let go, he will be strangled to death.
"Get out, I don't believe you, get out of here." Gu Junchen threw the imperial doctor out of the carriage with a flick of his hand.
