Despite the rain, civil and military officials hurried towards the palace.
Those who knew them didn't discuss it much.
Once inside the palace, they dusted off their sleeves and began discussing the matter in small groups.
"Lord Yi, do these eighteen tolls of the national bell indicate an emergency at the border?"
Although Zhang Jiadi was the head of the Confucian school, he had only been in power for a short time and not many people believed in him, so he didn't have much intelligence.
Looking at Yin Wei, who held the most power after Yan Song's death, he couldn't help but ask a question.
"I don't know either. If there's an emergency at the border, there should be beacon fires."
"Perhaps it's because of the rain that the smoke signals can't be raised," Heshen couldn't help but interject.
The others looked at him like he was an idiot.
The smoke signals weren't placed in the open air; they were erected inside buildings. How could they not rise?
Just as they were discussing this, Emperor Jianyuan came out with Cao Zhengchun.
All the civil and military officials stood at attention and bowed to him, shouting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Rise, my subject!"
Emperor Jianyuan waved his hand, signaling them to stand up.
He didn't sit on the dragon throne, but stood to the side, as if waiting for someone.
Before the civil and military officials could speak, they saw a golden dragon flying in the rain, transforming into wind and rain.
Several officials leaning against the door stared in disbelief at the majestic golden dragon in the sky. They knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Dragon King has arrived! The Dragon King has appeared!"
Hearing the shouts, other officials gathered around and knelt down one after another, crying out, "The dragon has appeared! Your Majesty, this is an auspicious sign! The dragon has appeared!"
Yin Wei was so excited that he trembled all over: "Your Majesty, this is a god, this is a real god! My Great Ming is saved."
Emperor Jianyuan looked at the golden dragon in the sky, then at Yin Wei, a half-smile playing on his lips.
The golden dragon circled once and then landed at the palace gate.
The civil and military officials dispersed and knelt on the ground, preparing to welcome the Dragon King dancing in the rain.
After the golden dragon landed, it burst into a burst of golden light.
Out of the corner of their eyes, the civil and military officials saw Li Chang'an sneezing as he walked out of the golden light.
"That bastard insulted me, it must be either Luo Yang or Miao Qingqing, those two dogs."
Li Chang'an was somewhat surprised to see the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground to greet him. He then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You are too kind, everyone. Why are you kneeling? Get up, get up."
Emperor Jianyuan went to greet him, his face beaming with delight: "My dear minister, you've worked hard. Please have a seat."
Yin Wei stared at Emperor Jianyuan, then at Li Chang'an, dumbfounded.
So you knew all along that the golden dragon was Marquis Anping.
Before he could say anything, another figure fell from the sky and crashed outside the palace with a loud bang, causing the palace to shake slightly.
"Can you control yourself a little?"
Li Chang'an looked at the silly girl, his lips twitching slightly: "If you land like that, it wouldn't be good if you damaged the flowers and plants."
Every time Li Chang'an saw her baby face paired with her fit body, he felt it was an eyesore.
"Master, this is how Silly Girl flies!"
The silly girl pointed with her finger, looking somewhat aggrieved.
Upon seeing this silly girl who was over three meters tall, Yin Wei wisely shut his mouth.
Li Chang'an sat in his seat, with Emperor Jianyuan standing to the side, squeezing Cao Zhengchun into a corner, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
He opened his mouth, as if to say to His Majesty, "This is my seat."
But remembering Emperor Jianyuan's words, he wisely shut his mouth.
"My dear ministers, I have gathered you all here today because Marquis Anping has important matters to instruct you on. I am sorry to trouble you all."
Heshen looked at Emperor Jianyuan, who was standing with his henchmen, and then at Marquis Anping, who was sitting with his legs crossed. He rubbed his eyes, feeling somewhat at a loss.
It's been so many years since His Majesty returned to the capital. Has he become so extravagant?
Li Chang'an stood up, gestured to the silly girl, and then turned on the GPS system.
A blue light curtain appeared in the center of the palace.
A glint of light flashed in the silly girl's eyes, and a long string of data appeared on the map.
"Gentlemen, today's matter is extremely urgent, so I will not explain the origin of this light screen."
Li Chang'an pointed to the map and said to the civil and military officials, "General Yang should be able to tell where this is, right?"
Yang Wenguang was flattered to hear his name called and stepped forward: "This is a map of the area around the capital."
He looked at it for a while and said with some surprise, "This is too clear. These red dots are the distribution of people in the capital, right?"
Although Yang Wenguang had not led troops into battle for many years, he could still recognize the map and sand table.
Moreover, once you analyze it in your mind, you can see what the red dot represents.
Li Chang'an nodded, satisfied with Yang Wenguang's answer.
As expected of the King of Lingnan, he is a general whom everyone praises highly; he has some real skills.
"This is a map of the city's areas. Silly girl is imitating what it looks like after the rain."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the silly girl's chest began to glow.
The civil and military officials saw countless raindrops fall from the sky, and after a while, the capital was submerged, with only a few mountains still showing their peaks.
"After this rain stops, the capital will turn into a huge lake, and many people will die in the rain."
Li Chang'an pointed to the flooded capital and said to the others, "Ministers, this is not an exaggeration. I want to tell you that this rain will last for a full six months."
Wow!
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials were in an uproar.
Yin Wei couldn't help but point at him and ask, "Marquis Anping, this is no joke. Are you sure?"
Li Chang'an looked at him expressionlessly: "Lord Yin Wei, I have never liked jokes."
Zhang Jiadi's face darkened: "Brother Haoran, if that's really the case, what will happen to the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
He looked at the map, at the capital city now a vast expanse of water, gritted his teeth, and knelt down: "Brother Haoran, I know you are incredibly powerful, but it is you who saved the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Chang'an looked at the acting head of the Confucian school and reached out to help him up.
Three people who talked about national affairs in that carriage in Lingnan back then.
They've gone further and further away now.
After the Yan Song case, Wang Zhongxian never saw him again.
The acting head of the Confucian school was busy with political affairs, and Li Chang'an searched for him several times but found nothing.
He looked at the somewhat haggard Zhang Jiadi and sighed.
"Brother Yujie, I have come here today to discuss with the ministers how to provide disaster relief and flood control."
Li Chang'an looked at the officials and took a deep breath.
"I have just arrived in the capital and know that some of you are somewhat dissatisfied with me. However, this disaster is raging, so I hope you will all cooperate with me to save the people of the capital."
"I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
