In the middle of summer, it is very hot in the capital in the middle of summer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The heat is a little unbearable, and before you know it, few people notice how long it hasn't rained in the capital.

Until someone found that the water level in the moat was much shallower and the water in the well was getting deeper and deeper, everyone suddenly realized that it had not rained in Chang'an for half a month.

It is not uncommon for it to not rain for half a month, but it does not rain on such a hot day, so there are many problems that follow.

Tang Zhou didn't pay attention to this at first, in his opinion, it was very common for half a month, a month without rain.

He also did not pay attention to the water in the moat, nor the water from the well.

He noticed this incident because Qin Shu told him that many of the cotton and soybeans in the Tang family's fields were listless, and large areas of the world had been cracked by drought, and if this continued, the crops would probably die, and I was afraid that they would not be harvested this autumn.

Droughts rarely occur in the capital, and after Tang Zhou heard Qin Shu's words, he suddenly realized that danger was coming, and he was afraid that he would face a major drought for the first time.

Tang Zhou took people to his own field, and things were really as Qin Shu said, whether it was soybeans or cotton, they were all shrunk with leaves, and even in the evening, they didn't stretch.

In fact, it is normal for crops to shrink their leaves, if the weather is too hot, in order to avoid the evaporation of water, the crops will shrink the leaves, but when the evening comes, because of the dew, coupled with the drop in temperature, the leaves will stretch out.

But if the leaves don't stretch out at this time, then I'm afraid the matter will be very serious.

This is a precursor to a major drought.

After a piece of news spread, it swept through the entire Chang'an in an instant.

Every day, at the head of the crops outside Chang'an City, there are farmers with sad faces, they look at the crops in their fields and are helpless, all they can do is a light sigh.

In fact, the drought at this time is much better than the drought before the wheat harvest, at least there is food, they can't starve to death, these soybeans and cotton are just their side-industries.

Earn pocket money.

But even so, if these crops are destroyed, the loss of the people will be huge, and if the soybean and cotton harvests are not good, it will definitely affect the price of soybeans and cotton in the future.

Soybeans have now become a daily ingredient for many people, whether it is tofu soy milk or other soy products, they are indispensable, if the price of soybeans is expensive, many people may not be able to eat these soy products.

The problem of not being able to eat is not very big, but the big problem is cotton.

Nowadays, many people wear cotton clothes to protect themselves from the cold, if cotton is expensive, cotton clothes will definitely be expensive, so many people can't afford to buy cotton clothes, this winter will be very miserable.

At that time, I am afraid that the matter of freezing bones on the road will happen on a large scale again.

After the matter spread in Chang'an City, it was quickly mentioned to the main hall by the ministers.

Early that morning, as soon as Li Shimin went to the morning court, someone brought up the matter, and then a group of officials shouted.

"Holy Lord, there is a great drought in the capital, and the people's crops are probably going to be harvested, this is all God punishing us, please make an edict against yourself."

The official said this very slippery, and the reason why he said it so justifiably is mainly due to previous examples, but whenever there are natural and man-made disasters, the Son of Heaven will issue an edict against himself, and take all the sins on himself, indicating that it has nothing to do with the people.

Even if this emperor is a faint monarch, in the face of this situation, there are few emperors who do not do it.

And for the emperor, if he wants to maintain stability, the next edict is still very helpful, and the people rarely want to rebel when they see the emperor like this.

After the official spoke, the others hurriedly followed, but the eldest grandson Wuji kept silent.

From the first year of Zhenguan to the present, it has been 22 years, in these 22 years, there have been many natural and man-made disasters in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin has issued a lot of crimes for the stability of the Tang Dynasty.

But that was before, and Li Shimin didn't mind giving his own edict in the past, but now it's hard to say whether he is willing to do it.

Tang Zhenguan has gone through more than 20 years, in these more than 20 years, Li Shimin has established immortal merits, he is now a heavenly khan, he doesn't want to let himself have any more stains on me, so how can he be guilty of this kind of edict?

He thought he was not wrong.

Moreover, the ministers have asked Li Shimin to issue an edict for his own crimes, isn't this forcing him to admit his mistakes? Li Shimin is already old, he no longer has the mind when Wei Zheng was still there, and if someone like Zhang Liang wants to oppose him, he will not admit his mistakes.

Therefore, when the ministers asked Li Shimin to issue an edict of guilt, Li Shimin's face was ugly, and it became more and more ugly, and he suddenly broke out in anger. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji finished talking, and the ministers looked at each other, not understanding why the eldest grandson Wuji would suddenly oppose Li Shimin's edict at this time, but how could this matter be done without an edict?

In fact, many people in the court did not consider Li Shimin's ideas, they just acted according to their own ideas, and there was a great drought in the capital, and as the emperor, he should make an edict against himself.

Therefore, they ignored the opposition of the eldest grandson Wuji, and talked about it again.

"Holy Lord, the edict must be issued, otherwise I am afraid that the people of the world will be uneasy."

"Yes, according to the rules, this crime should also be issued."

“…………”

Tang Zhou stood in the crowd and listened to these people's words, he didn't consider Li Shimin's feelings, he just thought that what these people said was very funny, can this thing solve the problem of the great drought?

What does the drought have to do with Li Shimin?

In his opinion, Li Shimin can be said to be able to do this in the Tang Dynasty, what is wrong with him.

Now Li Shimin must be very aggrieved in his heart, I, Li Shimin, am eloquent and strategic, and I have governed a Tang Dynasty so rich and strong, but there is a big drought, why am I wrong?

Tang Zhou felt ridiculous, but if it was just because it was ridiculous, he wouldn't stand up and make a statement, but if he just issued an edict of guilt, how could he solve the problem, so he did not object to the matter of the edict of guilt, but he objected to the matter of the edict affecting the solution of the problem.

Therefore, just when everyone was shouting, Tang Zhou suddenly stood up and said: "Holy Lord, in fact, it is not the purpose to issue an edict of guilt, our purpose is to help the people solve the matter of the great drought, and the minister asks the Holy Lord to edict the edict of the guilty self into a ******, even if God wants to drought my Chang'an, but my people in the Tang Dynasty can't, we must find a way to solve the drought in the capital Chang'an." ”

Tang Zhou's words also entered Li Shimin's heart, which made Li Shimin feel very comfortable, but at this time, the ministers of the court and the central government were stunned, and then shouted again.
