Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter Seventy-ninth
This is the most time-consuming and most extensive rain in human history recorded by humans. It lasts from midsummer to autumn gradually, exceeding everyone's imagination. The rain keeps falling from the sky and falling on On the mountains, rivers, wilderness and lakes, after being washed by rain, the cliffs began to collapse, the official roads were destroyed, the rivers broke into dams, and floods became disasters.
Such a serious natural disaster is enough to make the whole world feel desperate. Fortunately, the Xiling Temple and the royal families of various countries quickly launched disaster relief. Once again, human beings showed terrible vitality and patience in the face of serious natural disasters, and were not knocked down. Instead, accept it calmly and fight hard.
Heavy rain also fell on the wasteland. The fields were watered with mud and soft, and walking on them became extremely difficult. The herdsmen could not grazed, so they had to hide in the tent and struggled to the sun. Even the horse thieves hid back to comb. In the mountains and forests by the Bi Lake, I kept lamenting at the rain.
After the end of the Wasteland War, the Tang army retreated in two directions. One of the northeastern border troops arrived at Tuyang City in the south before the rain fell. The Beidaying Iron Cavalry, who followed the imperial guards, stayed in Helan City for a while. , and then it was forcibly kept by this endless heavy rain.
Although the empire spared no effort to invest for hundreds of years, Helan City was far away in the depths of the wasteland and the buildings in the city were limited. Tens of thousands of Beidaying Iron Cavalry had filled all the camp tents and houses in the city, and there was still a large part of them. Forced to be placed in the city tower.
The city tower is high and the cliff walls are flowing through the cold wind at night. The temperature at the turn of summer and autumn should be suitable for camping, but the heavy rain has been poured for a long time. The autumn came to the wasteland in advance, and the temperature suddenly dropped. General Helan's history is for These Beidaying Iron Cavalry have spent all their efforts in keeping warmth.
The most troublesome thing is the issue of food and grass supply.
Helan City has a lot of food reserves. But there are tens of thousands of Tang troops and countless war horses. The pressure it is under instantly increased and can barely support it for a while now, but if the rain continues, the food and grass in the south cannot be transported. They cannot leave either, so Helan City will face the risk of food being cut off.
Various problems and troubles become various dangers when combined together. However, no matter whether it is the Iron Cavalry Commander of Beidaying or the Historical General, he dare not use this question to ask them for advice. His Majesty the Emperor, who should ask for instructions most, dare not alarm the Empress or Master Boxer.
Because His Majesty the Emperor is sick, he is very sick.
...
...
Emperor Li Zhongyi of the Tang Dynasty was a person who valued love and righteousness, but this did not mean that he was pedantic and incompetent. When he was a prince, he was the most powerful general in the world, and nearly twenty of them were after ascending to the dragon throne. Nian he seemed very calm and low-key. But no one dared to underestimate him.
For the emperors of Southern Jin, the kings of Yuelun, Yan, Qi, Song and Chen, the emperors of Tang were definitely ranked first on the death list they wanted to see, all the time. I wonder how many people were praying for him in secret Suffering from an incurable terminal illness, he cursed him to die in a serious illness.
In fact, not many people know that Li Zhongyi fell ill many years ago, and the disease was very serious. He has always been with him and cannot be cured through the bones.
The Master had seen His Majesty’s illness, or the illness was too troublesome, or the Master had seen the abyss of fate after the illness, so he just prescribed a prescription without using human power.
This disease was delayed until the autumn of the 18th year of the Apocalypse. As the golden dragon descended on earth, with this continuous cold rain, it broke out with a destined stray arrow.
The emperor leaned against the couch, his face pale, holding a handkerchief in his hand, with blood stains on the paper.
The queen lowered her head and rubbed her chest gently, trying to make him feel more comfortable.
"In recent years, many people have died in Chang'an City. Many elderly people who have accompanied their father and even grandfather have walked in front of me. Now the dean has left us."
"Now I can't do it."
The emperor held her hand and said, "Heaven will destroy my Tang Dynasty, not the crime of war... Even so, I have no fear, because I firmly believe that the Tang Dynasty will surely win the final victory."
Hot tears fell from the Queen's eyes. At this time, the emperor was holding her hand, so the tears fell into a splash of water on the two tightly held hands.
"I am the most powerful man in the world. I married my favorite woman and finally died on the journey of fighting all directions. There is really no regret in this life, so don't be sad."
The emperor said.
The queen raised her head and said with tears on her face, "But I have a lot of regrets. I haven't seen your old age yet. I haven't let you see Xiao Liuzi grow up. I regret even more of the sect that year.
I went south to Chang'an and lure you into lie to you and eventually ruin you as you are now."
The emperor smiled and said, "Teduce me and lie to me, but you ended up falling in love with me."
Listening to the sweet and sour words, the queen finally smiled with tears and asked, "Have you ever blamed me?"
"It's a lie to say that you have never been blamed. After all, who doesn't want to live longer?"
The emperor reached out and wiped away the tears from her cheeks, saying, "But later, thinking that this war between you and me will eventually end with my victory, so it is also a trace of glory for me to bear some injuries."
The queen hugged him gently and murmured, "From the moment I saw you, I lost."
The emperor smiled with satisfaction. He had fought countless battles in his life, but this one was the one that made him most deeply and valued the victory and defeat the most.
"If I don't become an emperor, I will be a student of the academy. Now I think that life may be more interesting, but I will treat my Master as my teacher after all."
The emperor smiled tiredly and looked at her and said, "Now the teacher is going to work in heaven, we still have to work in the world. After I go with the teacher, do you know what to do?"
The Queen said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know how to do it."
The emperor said, "I asked Xiaoliuzi to be the master of Mr. Da to learn the way of benevolence. If the two children do not do anything randomly, they will... leave them a way out."
The Queen no longer shed tears and said very calmly: "I will do these things well."
"Then I'll feel relieved."
The emperor said, then slowly closed his eyes.
Master Box Yang walked into the room.
The queen looked at the sleeping emperor for a long time, then took off the string of rosary beads on his wrist, put them on his wrist, lowered her body and kissed him gently on the forehead.
Master Box Yang put his hands together.
A moment later, the sound of chanting in the room sounded.
Sutra of rebirth.

It is also raining in Chang'an City.
The rain was very heavy, mixed with thunder, and occasionally lightning flashed, illuminating the quiet and empty palaces like daytime. Even if there was a cover, the candlelight was still shaking uneasy.
If there were no lampshades, the candlelights would have been extinguished long ago?
Li Yu sat behind the desk, looking at the beautiful candlesticks beside the pillars, thinking a little distracted.
Her black hair was slightly wet, and her uterine skirt was a little wet. She probably went somewhere in the rain before.
Her face was a little pale, but it was not because she was afraid of thunder and lightning, because she thought that what she did was right, even if she lived in a dark palace, she would not be in a bad mood.
Looking at the night rain outside the hall, two lines of tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes, slid across her pale cheeks, and fell on the memorial on the table, wetting one of the ink words.
Li Yu woke up and ordered the eunuch to dip it in water and dip it in coarse paper, carefully wipe off the wet marks on the memorial, then wipe off the tears from his face, and continued to review the memorial calmly and concentrically.
This memorial is a summary of floods in various counties of the empire and is very important.
She picked up the brush and began to give memorials.
Guard the dike, store water, provide disaster relief, epidemic prevention, military power mobilization, and keep an eye on the roars in the Eastern Wasteland.
The Tang Dynasty was very big and had a lot of affairs. She had adapted to her habits and handled them in an orderly manner. As the approval of memorials continued, her expression became calmer and calmer, and even seemed very resolute.
...
...
Late at night, after a busy day of government affairs, Li Yu put on a cloak, did not bring eunuchs and palace maids, and left the palace alone, under the heavy protection of the Yulin Army and the guards.
The place she went was not far away, just across the imperial city from Nanmen Temple.
The Nanmen Temple, shrouded in heavy rain, looks particularly desolate and quiet.
Li Yu walked into the Taoist hall. Deep in the black paulownia floor, an oil lamp was lit by the soft mattress, illuminating the haggard and thin face of Li Qingshan, the national master of the Tang Dynasty.
She walked to Li Qingshan, knelt down slowly on both knees, and said with a trembling voice: "Father, let's go."
Li Qingshan slowly closed his eyes and then opened them again. There was only sadness in his eyes, no shock.
For hundreds of years, Helan City has used the Thousand Mile Book Talisman Formation twice in a row for several months.
The first time was because of that black carriage.
The second time was to convey the news that His Majesty the Emperor left the world back to Chang'an City.
At this time, only a few people knew about this news in the entire Chang'an City. Li Yu relied on the help of Nanmenguan to temporarily keep the secret. At this time, looking at the expression of the national teacher Li Qingshan, he knew that the other party already knew - since she was relying on it
Only by keeping the secrets in the South Gate Temple, naturally, cannot hide it from the owner of the South Gate Temple.
Li Qingshan looked at her kneeling in front of her and said weakly: "What are you going to do?"
Li Yu said, "I want to read the will."
The will of the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty's throne was not in the palace, but in the South Gate Temple!
Li Qingshan said: "According to the Tang Dynasty's laws, the will should be announced in public before all civil and military officials."
Li Yu lowered his head, looked at his wet skirt, and said, "The civil and military officials don't know yet."
Li Qingshan said: "They will know after all."
Li Yu said: "I didn't want to hide the news of my father's death for too long, and I will notify everyone later."
Li Qingshan said: "Why did Your Highness come here early?"
After being silent for a long time, Li Yu said, "Because... I'm not relieved."
Li Qingshan also fell into a long silence.
Li Yu's head drooped lower, and water droplets dripped from the black black head.
Her body fell along with the water droplets, and her forehead touched the black floor.
