Chapter 289: Lightning strikes the Imperial City

Yi Qiulou temporarily lived in Xia Hongsheng's home, in the name of learning psychology, Xia Hongsheng kept him, saying that he had just galloped thousands of miles, physically and mentally tired, so let him not worry, calm down and recuperate for a while, and then learn the behavior analysis method. It is estimated that Yi Qiulou has indeed suffered a lot during this time, so he also agreed. In this way, Xia Hongsheng's family has one more person who gets up every day, and he practices martial arts in the courtyard, which has attracted a lot of onlookers and applauds in the family.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but Xia Hongsheng is becoming more and more energetic, and he likes summer the most in his life, just because he is a slow and indifferent person in the later life, and the blazing temperature of summer seems to bring him a kind of enthusiasm.

It is the season when all things are born and vitality is at its peak.

In addition to the fact that this mosquito bite is a bit powerful, Xia Hongsheng has not been dissatisfied with the summer of Datang.

Especially today, when the weather is gloomy at night, mosquitoes will fly into the house, even if they can't take mosquito guts, although they can't fly in, but buzzing and screaming are extremely annoying.

Xia Hongsheng leaned on the bed on his side, hiding in the mosquito guise to read, and the room became a lot hotter because of the many lights. Fortunately, Yuexian sat next to her and kept gently shaking the pu fan, sending a trace of coolness.

Yuexian sat next to the couch, and there was a stack of papers on the edge of the bed, and Yuexian looked at the stack of papers while gently shaking the fan with her other hand. That stack of paper is "Three Kingdoms", and Yuexian is helping Xia Hongsheng proofread whether there are any typos or unobstructed sentences in it. Although Xia Hongsheng himself was holding a book, his mind was not on it.

It's no wonder that nothing else, just because Yuexian's figure is too good and her appearance is too good, it always makes people want to take a look.

Especially since she was sitting on the edge of the bed at the moment. Originally, his body was lower than Xia Hongsheng's line of sight, and he was reading on the edge of the bed, it was hot, and the clothes on his body were thin, so Xia Hongsheng only needed to move his eyes slightly. You can see the delicate face of the moon fairy, the long white neck, and the looming ravine under it.

In order to divert attention, Xia Hongsheng began to think about how to keep Yi Qiulou and realize the ambition of his Datang realistic version of the dragon group. Although it is to find a way, in fact, it is just a wild imagination, and after thinking about it, I think that I still have to guide public opinion first. How to guide public opinion? Glancing at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Yuexian was watching, he said in his heart that this guidance still starts with the novel. I read so many martial arts novels in later generations. What is the Central Plains martial arts resistance to the Khitan, Guo Jing defending Xiangyang City and the like, creating the image of several chivalrous men for the country and the people, the Tang people are still martial, as long as the story of martial arts novels is exciting enough, it will definitely attract many people to follow suit. This can be the beginning, and then slowly realize the plan to gather people in the rivers and lakes.

Yes, that's good. Brother is so smart! Xia Hongsheng put down the book and felt a sigh in his heart, he had read so many martial arts novels in his later life. It's not too difficult to change it to the Datang version!

"Boom Boom...... Click! ......" There was a thunder in the distance, and there was a sudden flash outside the house, and it was as bright as day, and there was a violent lightning and thunder.

"Yikes!" Yue Xian was taken aback, stood up and hurriedly looked left and right. Sure enough, he saw that a window on the side was not squared, so he walked over, and while putting down the window, he said to Xia Hongsheng: "Childe, there is such a big lightning outside!" ”

"Really?" Xia Hongsheng jumped up from the bed: "Go out and have a look!" ”

"Huh?" Yuexian was stunned. Then Wan Er smiled and said: "Childe, don't dare to go outside this day, then Lei Gong is bad, and he will split people below." ”

Looking down at himself, there were no metal objects, so Xia Hongsheng bragged: "My son is not an ordinary person, even if my son is standing in the rain, Lei Gong will not dare to split me." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden light outside, making people's eyes subconsciously close, and then there was a terrifying explosion.

Yuexian's face changed, and he hurriedly went over and pulled Xia Hongsheng's arm, and said a little nervously: "Childe, don't dare to talk nonsense, Lei Gong can hear it!" ”

"Lei Gong?" Xia Hongsheng smiled and said to Yue Xian: "Yue Xian, let me tell you a story about catching the thunderbolt, right?" ”

"Catch?" A look of surprise appeared on Yue Xian's face: "Childe, can you still catch this lightning bolt?" ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled, sat back on the edge of the bed, and said to Yuexian: "Once upon a time, there was a person, far away, his name was Franklin......

"Let's go to the water! - A chaotic shout suddenly came from outside, interrupting Xia Hongsheng's words.

The shouting voice didn't sound close, it didn't seem like it came from his own house, but Xia Hongsheng still rushed out with a quick arrow step. didn't care about the moon fairy behind him holding an umbrella to chase him, rushed into the rain, ran out of the small courtyard, and saw an orange in the sky from a distance.

"Childe! Childe, don't get drenched! Qi Yong had already run out at this time, ran to Xia Hongsheng, and held up the umbrella for Xia Hongsheng.

"Look at the sky, the fire is not small." Xia Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't his own family, he didn't care so much: "It must have been a lightning strike, otherwise such a heavy rain wouldn't have been able to burn." When it rained, it quickly went out. ”

Xia Hongsheng was right, after a while, the sky in the direction returned to normal, and it became dark again, and he could no longer see half a minute of orange fire.

The people who ran out of the family dispersed, Xia Hongsheng also went back to the house, and Yuexian complained: "Childe, you are really, you ran out without an umbrella, and now your clothes are all soaked!" ”

As he spoke, he took out clean clothes and asked Xia Hongsheng to change them.

Although Yuexian seems to adapt quickly to the change of his identity, Xia Hongsheng is not adaptable. Seeing that Yuexian was coming, he was about to help him change his clothes, so he hurriedly grabbed his clothes and wanted to change them himself.

"Childe! Son! Qi Yong's voice suddenly came from outside: "Someone is in the palace!" ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned, someone came at this time? His brows furrowed, and he had a bad premonition.

When I went out of the door, I saw the palace guards outside the door with their eyebrows locked, and when they saw Xia Hongsheng coming out, they hugged their fists and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, summon Xiahou to meet him quickly!" ”

"What's wrong?" Xia Hongsheng saw the guard's grim expression, so he asked in a deep voice.

The guard looked left and right, then lowered his voice and replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, there was a lightning strike in the palace, the water was gone, and a few houses collapsed in the courtyard, and Your Majesty summoned Si Tianjian overnight, as well as the eldest grandson, Fang, Du, etc., and Xiahou was also impressively listed. ”

"Understood." Xia Hongsheng nodded, the direction of the fire turned out to be the palace! So he immediately said to the guard, "Wait for me to change my clothes, and then I will leave." ”

Xia Hongsheng also had to be embarrassed, went back to the house and quickly changed into dry clothes with the help of Yuexian, and then left the house in a hurry with the guard.

When they arrived at the Suzaku Gate, they met Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng getting off the carriage, so the three of them hurried into the palace together and went straight to the Liangyi Palace, where Li Shimin was waiting for them.

Yeting Palace is next to Taiji Palace, approaching Taiji Palace, there is still a smell of burnt paste in the air, and the three of them hurriedly entered the Taiji Palace, passed through the Taiji Palace, and went to the Liangyi Hall behind. Si Tianjian has arrived, and the eldest grandson Wuji and several other ministers who have won Li Shimin's trust have also arrived there.

Whether it was Li Shimin or those ministers, their faces were very serious. In the eyes of the ancients, lightning strikes were something that had to be taken seriously. Because the ancients believed that this was God's punishment for man's bad behavior. Now that the lightning strike has appeared in the palace, it is quite dangerous. Those who are still restless can use this to slander and incite. Especially those Shandong scholars, they are the most convinced of the heavenly people's induction, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

However, fortunately, this kind of thing is an exception, and it is not too difficult to deal with. It is a natural disaster in itself, and it has nothing to do with the behavior and integrity of the king. Isn't there still an honest emperor in the later generations who was killed by lightning?

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's get started. You are all trustworthy people, and I will not hide it from you. Li Shimin glanced at it, and then said: "Just now, the thunder touched the ground, and it hit several buildings in the Yeting Palace, and now it has completely collapsed after the water is gone. ”

Several ministers looked at each other, and they all looked at Li Shimin, and then heard the eldest grandson Wuji say: "Your Majesty, fortunately, it is night now, and this matter needs to be kept secret, and everyone in the palace must be strictly ordered not to talk too much." If it spreads, it may be used by those who have a heart. ”

"If you keep it a secret, I'm afraid it will be difficult for others to know about it. I'm not afraid of anyone talking nonsense. Li Shimin nodded and said to everyone: "I summoned you here overnight to tell you that there will definitely be some arguments at the court meeting about the lightning strike tonight. You should know what to say. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "After all, there are many people in the palace, and you can't hide it. However, as long as you insist that this is a natural disaster, the ministers will argue for themselves. At the same time, the lightning strike in the Yeting Palace should also be restored as soon as possible to eliminate the impact of this incident as soon as possible. ”

"Mainly those people......" Du Ruhui opened his mouth and said: "If they don't let go of this matter, with their prestige, I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to Your Majesty." Your Majesty, please prepare as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, the only thing I'm worried about is those people." Li Shimin nodded: "Since the second half of last year until this year, there has been a severe drought, and then there has been a locust plague everywhere, and now it has just been carried over, and I am worried that they will connect this with each other and use it to attack me." It's inconvenient for me to say it for myself, and it's up to you then! (To be continued......)
