[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

"Report, the Beifan eight hundred miles is urgent."

The messenger's urgent report interrupted the ongoing court meeting. The emperor opened the report written by Lin Hanyu, Marquis of Zhenbei, and read the contents of the letter at a glance.

"There was a sudden severe drought in Beifan. There has been no rain for three months. The river water has plummeted and the grass has dried up. Do you have a good plan?" The emperor rubbed his forehead after reading the report, and asked a little tiredly.

Hearing this news, all the officials below whispered, discussing the sudden news.It is said that the Beifan is the land of the feudal clan, and whether it will rain or not is determined by God, and it cannot be controlled by human power, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.It is said that the Northern Fan was finally willing to submit, if it is ignored, there may be riots, and when the war resumes, even if the repression is suppressed, it may be difficult for Daqi to gain power in the Northern Fan in the future.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and the quarrel was so red-faced that they couldn't talk.Even so, most people still suggested that the court should show its attitude, at least not ignore it, and chill the hearts of the people of the northern domain who had finally gathered together.It's just that this drought cannot be rescued by manpower. The court can allocate food for disaster relief if there is a lack of food, but if there is food and no water, they still can't live. What about water?

The actual situation is actually more serious. Since the beginning of spring this year, there has been very little rainfall in Beifan, but the weather has warmed up. After the thousands of miles of ice and snow melted in winter, it is enough for the growth and recovery of all things in spring. The aquatic plants along the way barely recovered to what they should have in spring. vitality.

However, there was still no rain at the end of spring, and the temperature in the Beifan highlands was extremely high during the day, and the snow had completely melted. Only the tops of the high mountains had not completely melted due to the low temperature, so there was naturally not enough drinking water.After two months, the river water along the way gradually decreased, and the herdsmen had to migrate to places with water. In the end, they basically all gathered in one place and lived by guarding the mother river of Beifan, the Tarimyi River.

Everyone gathers in one place, people and animals, drinking water is getting less and less, the riverbed is exposed in most places, and they have to go far to get water every day.Due to the lack of rainfall for several months, large areas of grasslands have become withered and yellow. Animals have lost their food sources, lack of drinking water, and naturally die in batches.

If things go on like this, riots may really break out. If Da Qi uses brute force to suppress them, the previous efforts may be ruined.

The emperor looked at the buzzing sound below, didn't have any constructive suggestions, and his brain hurt, "Lin Qing stay, retreat." After finishing speaking, he motioned for Lin Ruhai to follow, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, staying behind. The people below looked at each other.

Lin Ruhai is not a man of gods, what can he do at this time, could it be that he can make rain?Hey, after all, the emperor still dotes on Lin Ruhai, look at them, how disgusted they are at this time, no one else cares about them, just ask Lin Ruhai to discuss the matter.The rest of the people couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.

It's true that Lin Ruhai can't make rain, but he has a daughter who makes it rain when she cries, and the emperor also knows it.Ever since hearing about the drought in Beifan, Lin Ruhai's heart has been pounding, thinking that Yu'er might not be able to escape this matter.But Beifan has a vast terrain, can Yu'er's tears alone solve the urgent need?

If it is useful, it is also a merit to save thousands of people.What if it's just a drizzle and doesn't work at all, how will it end then?Lin Ruhai really couldn't guarantee enough rain from her daughter's tears. After all, apart from crying a few times when she was a child and when her mother died, she never shed a single tear.And judging from those few times, the rain was not heavy, and Lin Ruhai privately thought that even if Daiyu really went, the fundamental problem would not be solved.

Lin Ru was thinking by the sea and followed the emperor into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. As soon as he looked up, he saw the emperor looking at him eagerly, as if he was going to let him bring it up first.Your Majesty, is it appropriate for you to make such an expression at your age?Hey, Lin Ruhai suppressed his complaints, couldn't help but sighed, and had to speak first.

"Your Majesty, you know that Yu'er has never cried a few times since she was a child, and the only few times were mild wind and light rain. The northern domain is vast and the drought is severe. I'm afraid it can't solve the urgent need."

"What about Xiao Si?" The emperor earnestly suggested that since they are so familiar, the emperor felt that there was no need to hide from Lin Ruhai, so that everyone knew it well and just didn't point it out. He already understood the special features of the Lin family's children.

"Eh..." Lin Ruhai really didn't expect this, the emperor's sudden proposal made Lin Ruhai feel stuck for a while.Your Majesty, don't you have already thought about how to use your child's special skills, you have already figured out this kind of trick that cooperates with each other.

Lin Ruhai glanced at the emperor suspiciously. After getting along for many years, the two monarchs and ministers have a tacit understanding compared to other people. Moreover, Lin Ruhai's previous awe has also faded a lot after many years. Anyway, he can see that the emperor will not take him talk about things.

"Cough cough." The emperor who was pointed out coughed twice in embarrassment, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Now that this is the case, what else can Lin Ruhai say, the emperor has already made up his mind, can he refute it?He could only answer according to his words: "Why don't you let the two children try. It's just that Yu'er doesn't know that her tears will turn into rain. After all, this crying didn't come just because she said it. If she can't cry at that time, your Majesty will Don't blame it."

Lin Ruhai was vaccinated in advance, and deliberately said "two children" in order to draw the emperor's senses closer. After all, one is the little four you have spoiled for more than [-] years without principle, and the other is the daughter-in-law you personally recognized , except that you are not related by blood, but you are more favored than your own children, don't be angry if you don't care about it, and clamor for punishment.

The emperor is now a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and the Northern Domain has a special status. If they don't come up with a charter quickly, the hearts of the people may change over time.If it was within the territory of Daqi, it would be a big deal to arrange for the people in the dry land to migrate to places that were not affected by the disaster first, and then the imperial court would allocate relief food. Now the imperial court also has the strength to resettle the victims.

However, the emperor of the people of Beifan could not fully trust them, so he moved them to the territory of Daqi. If it caused disaster to the people in the territory, he would have nowhere to cry.So the emperor thought, even if Daiyu really just made a drizzle, at least it would give them some confidence, and it would also show that Daqi was favored by the heavens and could ask for rain for the disaster-stricken people.

I have worked so hard, Beifan, you can't fight together anymore.If you dare to resist, you will have trouble with the heavens, and you can suffer from the drought, and no one will be able to save you at that time.Therefore, the emperor's wishful thinking was well planned. It would be great if Daiyu could alleviate the drought, and further win the hearts of the people in Beifan.If it is not possible, it will show Daqi's benevolence as much as possible. After all, I have sent you a lucky girl to pray for blessings. I really did my best.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a man who can become an emperor, and the twists and turns in his heart can catch up with those nine twists and eighteen turns. In this way, no matter what the result is, at least it will not pose a serious threat to Daqi, and the immediate crisis will not cost a single soldier. A pawn to resolve.

So the two monarchs and ministers discussed for a long time in Barabara in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, making sure that this rain praying ceremony should be grand and grand, so that the people all over the world know the emperor's benevolent heart.When the two finalized the details, it suddenly occurred to him that the Lord didn't know about it. It just so happened that Daiyu was teaching the emperor's grandchildren in the palace today, and the emperor asked Dai Quan to invite them in person.

Daiyu arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a dazed expression on her face. Seeing her two fathers staring at her, her steps stopped, feeling that something was wrong, she resisted the steps to turn around and go out.

"Greetings to my father, my father." Daiyu, who was dressed in men's clothing, performed a blessing ceremony for her daughter's family.

"Yu'er, get up quickly, are the emperor's grandchildren being mischievous today?" The emperor looked like a father, more like his own father than Lin Ruhai.

"Going back to father, the emperor and grandchildren are very obedient, I don't know what the father meant by calling his children here?" Daiyu asked directly, don't talk about what is there and what is not, let's get to the point quickly.

Then Daiyu listened to the two fathers explaining the cause and effect of the matter clearly. It was the first time Daiyu heard that she had such abilities. Doesn't the drama have to be staged again and again.

However, Daiyu still had some doubts in her heart, the two fathers were sure they were not possessed by any spirits, and it was all a coincidence that they said such unreal things.No wonder Daiyu was suspicious, she had no memory when she was a child, she cried a few times when she grew up because of her grandmother's death, and she didn't cry a lot because of the funeral. Thinking about it, it seemed that it was really raining outside.

"It's the duty of a minister to share the worries of the father, but it's just about shedding tears..." Daiyu's face was a little perplexed, tears don't just come when you say it.Since she was a child, she has never had any sad things, but she shed tears for no reason. Thinking about it, there is always a way.

"Yu'er try to think about whether there is any sad thing, brewing and brewing emotions first, there is a long process to do before praying for rain, the time should be enough, if not, let's brew for a while." The emperor suggested.

"I don't seem to be sad at all." Daiyu thought for a while and replied. Lin Ruhai stroked his beard proudly. Naturally, his beloved daughter is not unhappy, which shows that he deserves it as a father. bit.Lin Ruhai, who hadn't been cocky enough, suddenly thought that the emperor was still sitting on top, and this might not be the time to be cocky, so he quickly restrained his expression and became serious.

Daiyu's answer put the two fathers in a dilemma, thinking that it was indeed a bit difficult for others, especially because they still had to cry a little bit, and they had to shed well.

When it comes to the safety of the people, Daiyu felt that if she really had the ability, she should really be obliged to help. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "Eunuch Dai, please help me prepare some ginger juice." She can only try something exciting like ginger juice. Whether something works or not, if it works, then don't bother so much.

When it comes to ginger juice, the two big men are a little confused, why do you need ginger juice at this moment, forgive the men for not knowing women's little tricks.

Soon the little eunuch presented a bowl of ginger juice. Daiyu took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and dipped it in some ginger juice. She was worried that it would not be exciting enough, so she dipped it in for a while more cruelly, and then wiped it on the sides of her eyes. one time.

This time, the hot Daiyu burst into tears instantly, big teardrops rolled down her eyes, her eyes were red, and the two fathers were amazed that they could still do it like this.

The emperor also reflected this, "Dai Quan, go and see if it's raining outside." After receiving the order, Dai Quan trotted out of the palace gate.
