Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred and seventy-seven homing pigeons

Following the message from Yang Wu and Lian Tie, although Li Hong was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was angry with people in this ignorant age for everything they did to pray for rain. There were only two or three places to ask for rain, but I didn't expect that with the message of Yangwu Liantie, there would be as many as seven or eight!

Some are entrusted by the government, the scene is huge, the crowd is crowded, and everything used is expensive. And some warlocks who saw it raining and wanted to make a fortune were also beginning to use this knot to make money!

The role played by bad people at this time has made Li Hong a little balanced. Those people who originally did not rely on the sky or the ground, but rely on the government to live their lives, have no responsibility for those natural disasters. The heart belongs to the real eagle-dog minions who only obey the government.

Along with Yang Wu and Lian Tie, holding the token of Shang Shu Ling to mobilize bad people to disperse rain-seekers, the effect is also immediate. In addition, they are mixed among the people, and it is also a question of where the phenomenon of praying for rain may occur. There are more, so in just a few hours, all the prayers for rain were killed in the bud.

As a series of orders were issued from Shangshu Province, Li Hong's heart began to relax. As long as the shocking ritual begged for rain is blocked, then whether it will rain next depends on the group of Chongwenguan. Lucky **** and lunatics.

Shangguanyi was very puzzled, this pigeon is really easy to use, and news is really fast. Ren Yaxiang was also the original beneficiary of the homing pigeon, and both of them were a bit confused at this time. It is said that after the homing pigeon was released, there should be a reply not far away, but it is a homing pigeon that has not been received yet.

The two were anxious, but the crown prince on the first seat was the old god, and even hummed a tune unknowingly.

"His Royal Highness, none of these pigeons flew back, do you think there will be any accidents?" Some of these pigeons are from the Ministry of War, and some are from Chongwenguan, but the two guys are precious.

Since knowing that this pigeon is not easy to train, it is easy not to let others borrow it. Today, it is also borrowed by His Royal Highness. If it is changed to another person, the two can even do it. Life is optional, but the pigeon is definitely not a strong posture. .

"Nothing, this is normal, and I can't explain it to you. But..." A weird smile appeared on Li Hong's face and said, "You two have to be prepared to lose a lot of pigeons. ."

"Ah? Why?" Shangguanyi got up from the chair suddenly.

These carrier pigeons are now almost becoming his lifeblood. Losing one will make him sleep well. Every time a student from Chongwenguan loses a carrier pigeon, he can't wait to confuse others. ! I was trembling with anger, walking and swinging.

Ren Yaxiang felt nervous when he heard Li Hong's words, but compared to Shangguanyi, at least his manners were much calmer, but his expressions were also a little anxious.

"Homing pigeons can’t fly in rain, so if it starts to rain in some places, these homing pigeons will find a place to stay under the eaves and wait until the rain stops before they fly, but there are also many other birds of prey. So after the rain has passed and the sky clears, I am afraid that the birds of prey will not be a minority." Li Hong said leisurely, not caring about the fate of those pigeons.

Compared to this thief, it's raining, those pigeons are really nothing, and even if they are gone, they can still be cultivated. "You mean, maybe it's already raining elsewhere?" Ren Yaxiang pays attention to nature or rain, unlike Shangguanyi, who is like a dead relative, sitting helplessly on a chair and sighing to the sky. .

Li Hong couldn’t tell him that the homing pigeons rely on the earth’s magnetic field for navigation. When the magnetic field is disturbed in time of thunderstorms or low cloud pressure, the only thing these homing pigeons can do is to stay under the roof and not move. move.

Looking at Ren Yaxiang nodded, Li Hong just about to speak, he heard Shangguanyi say bitterly: "Yes, how can I ever see a bird flying on a rainy day? This homing pigeon is also a bird, oh... this ...This is another big expense...Huh? I came back with one!"

Shangguanyi didn't care about being rude in front of His Royal Highness. He hurried out when he heard the sound of cooing, and saw a soldier taking the note from the pigeon's leg, and the pigeon was also on the mailbox with his eyes on the letter box. Walking around nervously.

Looking at the note, Shangguanyi waved his hand to let the soldiers send in by himself. He had to see if there was anything wrong with the pigeon. According to His Highness, since it was raining outside, then this could only fly back. The homing pigeon is definitely the ace pigeon. It needs more care and can no longer let go.

"Unexpectedly, there are still people who can fly back." Li Hong took the note from Ren Yaxiang and nodded in satisfaction.

Blasting clouds really blew out rain. Although some places blew up the clouds, it failed to blow out the rain, but it caused thunder and lightning. But it still started to rain in some places, which is a good start anyway.

The sky above Luoyang City is still covered with dark clouds, but there is no sign of rain at all. Li Hong didn’t dare to set the Kongming Lantern in the sky above Luoyang City, so he hoped to cast the Kongming Lantern in the no-man’s land outside the city. Hoping that it could blow out the rain, but the sky did not fulfill everyone's wish, Luoyang city seemed to be cursed, saying that it would not rain at all.

And this also allowed Li Hong to prevent people from offering sacrifices to pray for rain. It became angry and resentful. Rumors spread. Now Luoyang City has begun to have people's dissatisfaction, and even some princes and nobles rushed to the palace to ask the emperor and queen Report everything that happened in the city.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei had a grim face. They had anticipated Li Hong's move a long time ago, so they secretly supported the folks asking for rain. They did not tell Li Hong, but bypassed him and knew him. The temperament is determined not to do this, if he really wants to force a sacrifice to pray for rain in front of him, I am afraid that the unfilial son will blow up his hair.

But now it’s still not raining in Luoyang City. He Li Hong also suspended the sacrifice to pray for rain. The emperor and the queen have not yet angered him, but the princes and nobles and the surnames of Gaomen quit, although they don’t know that this is Li Hong’s Idea, so I ran to the Ministry of Households and other government offices at the beginning, hoping that the government would support the sacrifice for rain.

But the officials of the DPRK and the central government could only shook their heads with a bitter smile, and then silently pointed their fingers at the official office of Shangshu Province, so these people understood that this was the idea of ​​His Royal Highness again.

He lives in the palace and doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but doesn't he care about life and death of his people?

But just as the princes and nobles, some people headed by Ji Wang sat in the Qianyuan Hall with a bitter face, and confided to the emperor and the queen, an **** hurried in and said: "Your Majesty, the queen, outside the city It has started to rain. Although it is still dozens of miles away from Luoyang City, the rain has gradually started."

"Your Majesty, please allow the folks to ask for rain immediately. This ritual outside the city has already seen the rain. Could it be that the people of Luoyang cannot spring ploughing due to drought."

"King Ji, stay calm and listen to him." Li Zhi frowned. He didn't believe that the unfilial son prevented the sacrifice from praying for rain and left his tail.

As they were speaking, a faint thunderous rumbling sounded from afar, and the rumbling sound rolled over, but when they arrived at Luoyang Palace, they had become extremely small.

"It's raining outside the city. Is this the result of praying for rain or other contributions?" Li Zhi asked, looking at the eunuch.

"His Majesty, according to the messenger's account, first saw the light of fire light up in the clouds, and then the sound of thunder. In a short while, the clouds rained." The **** lowered his head and said respectfully. .

"Have you seen someone praying for rain over there?" Wang Ji asked anxiously, looking at the eunuch.

"This..." The **** looked at Li Zhi, then at Wang Ji, not knowing whether to answer.

These eunuchs in the imperial palace, now trained by Wu Mei, only recognize Li Zhi and her, and no one else recognizes them. Regardless of whether you are a relative of the emperor, a prince or aristocrat, it is not easy to work in the imperial palace. Naturally, there Except Princess Li Lingyue and Prince Li Hong.

"But it doesn't matter." Li Zhi snorted dullly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. There were people praying for rain over there, but they were stopped and dispelled by Yang Wu at the beginning. The rain seeker..." The **** was a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter, say." This time it was Wu Mei who had spoken, and had vaguely guessed it~IndoMTL.com~ I was afraid that she would be imprisoned by the unfilial son.

"The rain-seekers and the participants were all imprisoned by the people of the torture department." After the **** had finished speaking, he hurriedly shrank his head, fearing that the emperor above would behead his head in anger. .

"Mischief! The worshippers are also concerned about the safety of the people in the world, why are they imprisoned! Give me Li Hong to go to the palace!" Li Zhiqi's beard was trembling, but fortunately, dizziness and sickness were not committed, otherwise, If someone faints his dragon father, his dragon mother won't kill him!

When Hua Ji appeared in Shang Shushen, Li Hong was not surprised at all. The sky was already dark. This is not a sign that the clouds are getting thicker and the storm is coming, but that it is now Shenshi, Tian thinks It's not black.

Li Zhi also knew that if he sent other eunuchs to Shangshu Province, he might not be able to summon Li Hong to Qianyuan Palace, so he immediately let his personal **** Huaji appear in Shangshu Province.

"Is the father's spirit so powerful?" After explaining Shangguanyi and Ren Yaxiang, remember not to set the Kongming lantern in Luoyang City, and then follow Huaji out of Shangshu Province and pat Huaji on the shoulder and asked.

Behind him, Shang Guanyi got up and wanted to stop Li Hong from speaking, but looked at the weather outside and it still didn't rain, and finally resisted not reminding His Royal Highness.

"Looking at the way Master Shangguan was hesitant to speak, did you have anything to say when His Highness left just now?" Ren Yaxiang asked curiously, looking at Shangguanyi's somewhat entangled expression.

"Hey...this... Your Majesty asked me for a few Kongming lanterns. I'm afraid that it won't rain again in Luoyang. Your Majesty will personally release those Kongming lanterns for rain. After all, the rain outside the city is because the Kongming lanterns fly. And it's raining." Shangguanyi's face was awkward.

One is the emperor and the other is the prince. Which one he offends can afford, and one is not allowed to let go. If one has to let go, it is difficult to be a courtier if he is caught in the middle.
