Chapter 316: Raining The
sun was setting, and the sunset dyed half of the western sky red.
The King of Yue, who was far away in Yunzhou, watched the disaster relief outside being carried out in an orderly manner. The people were all shouting "Long live the King of Yue", and his brows could not help but raise again and again.
So what if he had never sat on the throne before? So what if he is not the emperor now? Now the emperor is incompetent, the prince is young, and the most popular person is him, the King of Yue!
Things that belonged to him, the King of Yue, would be taken back sooner or later! An attendant hurried over and whispered something in the King of Yue's ear.
"You mean, the prince is praying for rain in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple?" The King of Yue curled his lips. "Isn't the prince the one who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods? How could he resort to such a method now?"
"Doesn't this just show that the Crown Prince, Prince Fu and other aides have no other options but to resort to this sensational tactic in an attempt to regain public support? It's really ridiculous." The Prince of Yue sneered.
"The donkey in Guizhou has run out of tricks." The King of Yue disagreed. "During this period of time, you should just focus on handling these matters properly. You must firmly grasp the hearts of the people. Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world."
"Don't worry, father." The prince of Yue nodded repeatedly, "I know what to do and will definitely get things done properly."
The Crown Prince has always been prudent in his work, so the King of Yue was quite relieved. He just walked outside while talking with him to see the current situation of disaster relief and listen to the people's voices of support for them.
The last bit of sunlight also set below the mountain, and the remaining clouds in the west were gradually swallowed up by darkness.
The leaves that had been wilted and motionless by the sun suddenly shook, followed by a cool breeze from the sky that blew across the earth.
The wind was gentle at first, then it grew stronger and stronger, causing the branches to sway and the leaves to rustle. Even the sand and dust on the ground were blown up, blinding people's eyes.
The sky, which was originally clear and even allowed the moon and stars to be seen, was now pitch black. Bright lightning could be vaguely seen in the clouds and dull thunder could be heard.
Is it going to rain?
Everyone looked up at the sky with anticipation, waiting for a miracle to happen.
Soon, raindrops fell from the sky and hit those upturned faces.
The long-lost coolness made everyone excited. Some shouted, some cried with joy, and more knelt on the ground, praying to God.
Thank God for giving them a way to survive!
But even though the crowd was in a frenzy, they still stood in the rain, staring blankly at the sky.
They are still afraid deep down.
They were afraid that the long-awaited rain would be short-lived and would not completely alleviate the current drought, and that their joy was just a false alarm.
Some people are also afraid that the rain will be too heavy, causing a flood and making their lives even more difficult.
The rain just kept falling.
It does not have the ferocity of a summer rainstorm, but instead has the softness of a spring rain and the lingeringness of an autumn rain. It falls slowly and leisurely, as if soothing everyone's heart, neither hurried nor slow.
The heavier the rain fell, the greater the joy on everyone's faces.
However, the expressions of King Yue and others became more and more ugly.
How come it rained when there was no drought? How could they, the father and son, take advantage of this to become famous and win the hearts of the people?
Especially since this rain came after the prince had prayed for rain with great fanfare. Doesn't this tell others that the rain was prayed for by the prince?
