Chapter 5

Qikou Pass is the key to winning or losing this battle.

Only Cheng Zhijie in the Tang Dynasty can hold this place.

"Zhijie, Qikou Pass is the place where the Turks must pass through to escape. I think you are the only one in the Tang Dynasty who can guard this place."

"Your Majesty, do you really think so?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking.

"Of course."

After Tang Taizong flickered for a while, Cheng Zhijie agreed to guard Qikou Pass.

After Li Jing analyzed the form, Cheng Zhijie understood the importance of Qikou Pass and directly assured him.

"Your Majesty, I guarantee with my head that I will stick to Qikou Pass."

After arrangement, Wei Xiaojie led troops to Heng'an Road to support Cheng Zhijie who was at Qikou Pass on the side.

On that day, Cheng Zhijie led his troops to Qikou Pass.

After Tang Taizong summoned a group of generals and arranged the combat order, he remembered the flood disaster and found Qin Tianjian a little restlessly.

observatory.

"My minister sees the emperor."

An old man in a Taoist robe and holding floating dust in his hand made a pointing finger to Tang Taizong.

"Li Aiqing, I came here today because someone told me that there will be a flood in the Tang Dynasty that will never happen in a century. I wonder what Li Aiqing thinks?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. According to what I have observed in the sky for many days, there is no sign of rain. I hope your Majesty will not listen to rumors."

"Aiqing has worked hard."

"It is my duty to relieve His Majesty's worries."

Tang Taizong thought about the copper coins he gave away, and felt a burst of regret in his heart. It was all the money in Guanyin's maidservant.

At this moment, light rain began to fall from the sky.

This!
Li Chunfeng looked up, looked at the looming sun in the sky, and forcefully argued.

"Your Majesty, the weather is unpredictable, and it won't be long before the rain stops."

Gradually, the rain became heavier and heavier, the sun disappeared, and the dark clouds in the sky became more and more with the wind.

Tang Taizong looked at Li Chunfeng with complicated eyes.

Forehead!
Does God have to fight against him?
Li Chunfeng couldn't help muttering in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out.

As time passed, the rain became heavier and heavier with the wind.

In the end, Tang Taizong turned and left without saying a word.

Li Chunfeng, as the Qin Tianjian, naturally has some real skills, and Tang Taizong can't cut him off just because of his slight mistake.

The most important thing now is the flood disaster. According to this kind of rain, within three days, people in Chang'an City will be panicked and food prices will rise.

At that time, the five surnames and Qiwang will have another reason to criticize them.

If it rains continuously for seven consecutive days, there will be no harvest this year, and the houses will be soaked in rainwater.

Thinking of this, Tang Taizong suddenly stopped and walked back.

Li Chunfeng was a little panicked when he saw His Majesty returning.

"His Majesty."

"Li Aiqing, hurry up and do the math, even if it's when the rain will stop."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This heavy rain, according to later historical records, was the unwillingness of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who were killed by Tang Taizong, and finally turned into evil spirits, creating this disaster.

After careful divination, Li Chunfeng was about to reply when he learned the time, when he suddenly paused and thought about it.

"Your Majesty, the hexagram shows that the heavy rain will continue, but it doesn't show the exact time."

"Why is there no specific time displayed?"

"Your Majesty, this is God's will."

It means that if you ask me, I don’t know. This is because God prevents the hexagrams from appearing.

For such a result, Tang Taizong turned his head angrily and left.

Although what Li Chunfeng said was the same as not saying, but no matter what, the flood disaster should be prevented in advance.

………………

Jiangjiazhuang, Jiangfu.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Jiang Yunqing let go of his raised heart.

Long ago, Jiang Yunqing asked people to do a good job of flood control, and now they are waiting to sell grain to make money.

Speaking of which, all the things recorded in the historical materials may be false, but if you want to talk about the dark history of those emperors, everything must have happened in the real world.

According to historical records, the heavy rain this time will last from July to the end of October.

And in October, there will be an earthquake in Hedong Road. The source of the earthquake is Jinyang, the hometown of Tang Taizong.

This year was the most troublesome year for Tang Taizong.

"Husband, it's raining so hard. Can the imperial court continue its expedition against the Turks?"

Li Huan'er stood aside, and asked with some preoccupation.

"I can definitely fight, not only can I fight, but I will definitely win."

Looking at Li Huan'er's puzzled eyes, Jiang Yunqing explained with a smile.

"The heavy rain is coming fiercely, and the Turkic people don't have so much food in storage. I'm afraid they will worry about food after a long time."

"You said Datang sent troops at this time, can you not win?"

"I hope so."

Li Huan'er silently prayed to the gods in her heart, hoping that Datang would win a big victory this time.

"Ma'am, do you know anyone who can become popular in the ladies' circle just by using some rare items?"

"Eldest grandson and fourth wife."

"Why the eldest grandson and fourth mother?"

"My husband doesn't know that the eldest grandson Si Niang and her cousin, who is also the current empress, are in charge of the business of high-quality rouge in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the eldest grandson Si Niang is very popular in the circle of ladies."

"That's it, forget it! We can't see our eldest grandson, Siniang."

Jiang Yunqing was a little disappointed, he didn't expect that such a good way to make money would be killed before he started to act.

"Ms. sir, you can ask our mother. Maybe she can help."

"Will this be too much trouble, mother?"

"No, as long as the things satisfy the eldest grandson and Siniang, the matter is basically settled."

At that time, she can still ask her mother to invest in shares to earn some money. Ever since her father became emperor, she has no money, and although her mother is expensive as a queen, she can only live frugally.

Where did you say the money the queen earned went?

Wasn't it borrowed by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two court officials, because the treasury was empty. As a queen, how could she helplessly watch the emperor make things difficult at this time?

The money is just for the emperor to borrow from the empress first. When the country has money, your majesty will never forget the kindness of the empress.

Then there is no more then.

All the money saved through frugality was just lost.

………………

In the imperial palace, in the harem, Empress Changsun was coaxing her child to sleep with a sad face.

"Queen, I made you suffer."

Tang Taizong looked at his wife who was no longer young, and felt distressed for a while.

"His Majesty."

Empress Changsun was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Emperor Taizong.

"Queen, Huan'er has been found."

"Huan'er found it, found it. Your Majesty, I'm not dreaming!"

"This is not a dream, Huan'er really found it. Not only that, but we also have a son-in-law."

"Here, is Huan'er married?"

Empress Changsun asked in surprise.

In her impression, Li Huan'er has always been a well-behaved and obedient boy, how could she do such a thing.

After Tang Taizong's explanation, Empress Changsun understood the whole story and agreed to go to see her son-in-law with Tang Taizong.
