1180 Asking for rain in the southern suburbs

For three months in a row, it was rare for two clouds to float in the sky.

It seems that it is expected to rain really.

There are vanguard guards in front to clear the way.

Jin He changed into the special official uniform of Qin Tianjian, held the dust whisk, led the minister of civil and military affairs, set off from the palace gate, walked, and went to the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs to ask for rain.

Originally, this should have been done by the prince on behalf of the civil and military officials, but the prince was disabled, and he was rumored to be good at astronomy and could ask for rain, so he was replaced.

As for the image, this was designed by Qin Tianjian, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to let him be led by a seven-rank imperial envoy.

The teacher is famous, and it is natural to be at the forefront.

People from all directions came around one after another, following, shouting excitedly, if it weren't for the guards blocking it, the people would rush into the ranks of officials, as for what they were going to do, it should be to show their admiration for the officials and support for this rain prayer operation.

Jin He felt very honored, and his excitement was held at the corners of his mouth and eyebrows.

Growing so big, he has never been so much in the spotlight as he is today.

Then he heard someone in the crowd shouting that he must beg for the rain to come down.

Absolutely?

3. I calculated the hexagram the day before yesterday, looking at the white clouds in the sky, how many days have there been no clouds, can't it explain the problem?

As long as the rain falls, he will not only be able to confirm the crime of Princess Yong'an, but he will also be admired by the people, so that his career can go further.

It's bound to rain today.

Jin He is ambitious.

At this time, he represented the Son of Heaven and the royal family, and he could not speak to people at will, so he replied to the anxious people with a straighter back.

With him here, how could he not ask for rain.

Such tenacity, strength, representing the pace of hope walked for a quarter of an hour, Jinhe was a little unable to support it, too tired, here to the southern suburbs, there is a twenty-mile journey, such a hot day, wear so much, but to ask for rain must walk, this is the rule, isn't this to die?

Behind him came the low, but one after another grumbling voices of the ministers.

Jin He looked up, when did the white clouds float away?

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and his face was roasted.

Slowly, all the official clothes on his body were soaked, and he didn't dare to wipe his sweat to maintain his image.

What can I do?

Can it still rain on such a day?

How long do you have to go? It's so tired and hot, it's going to collapse.

Jin He could only hold on to his spirits.

By the time they walked out of the city gates, several of the older adults could no longer walk.

They were helped down by the guards.

The very active crowd that had been following behind also dropped by a third.

It was so hot that everyone didn't want to go.

But the people could leave, but he couldn't.

Anyone here can give up halfway, but he can't, he wants to beg for rain.

Jin He regretted a little in his heart, he knew that it was so bitter, so he shouldn't have accepted it.

It's still half the way to the southern suburbs.

But if you don't insist, you can't do it, if you don't insist now, you will be punished when you go back, and he finally has the time when everyone is in the spotlight today.

was worried, and heard the three auxiliary ministers behind him praying in a low voice: "The sky will descend on a great task, we must first suffer their minds, we are so sincere, can it rain?" ”

Master Chen said he would definitely be able to.

Jin He nodded secretly, he must be able to, this is God's test for him, if he doesn't suffer so much, how can God see their sincerity?

Jin He expected that when he arrived at the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs, there would be a downpour as promised.

Once a person has faith, the next suffering seems to have sustenance, and he can bear it.

The group gritted their teeth, and finally a third of them passed the test of twenty miles and reached the southern suburbs.

But no matter how much sustenance there is, the body is really sinful.

When he saw the Temple of Heaven, Jin He's body went limp, and he almost knelt down, he really didn't want to go anymore.

Lord Chen, who was behind him, pushed him with his hand: "If you fall, what do you let the people think?" Not yet. ”

Jin He looked back at the people who had followed, all of them were able-bodied people, and these people seemed to walk without any effort, and they all looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

Yes, he was in high spirits when he was in the city, and after these twenty miles, his clothes were soaked and sticking to his body, and his hair was soaked with sweat, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Of course, there are people who are more embarrassed than him, but he is a person who begs for rain, so being embarrassed is not convincing.

Jin He didn't have time to thank Lord Chen, so he hurriedly stood up straight and walked towards the direction of the Temple of Heaven, the mountain road was still a mile away from the Temple of Heaven.

However, the Temple of Heaven is the place where the emperor takes the stage to communicate with the gods, and he is at most the mouthpiece of the prince, and he is not qualified to ascend the Temple of Heaven.

Qin Tianjian had already thought of countermeasures, and set up a rain platform for him under the steps of the Temple of Heaven, so that he could not only receive the treasure land, but also not infringe on the emperor's authority, killing two birds with one stone.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jin He walked to the platform.

The guards begged for rain for fear of the people and influences, so they blocked the crossing...... You can only stand outside the intersection and watch from a distance, not close.

The ministers of civil and military affairs, like the previous court, stood in two rows under the steps on both sides of the Temple of Heaven, although there were the main people who begged for rain, of course, they also needed the support of these pillars of the court.

Jin He arrived at the bottom of the rain platform, behind him is the Temple of Heaven, the main body of the round building, red walls and blue tiles, eaves flying corners, white jade railings besieging the city four pedestals, looking up, magnificent atmosphere, it is the place to pray to the gods for happiness.

Jin He yearns for it, if he can wait for the Temple of Heaven to ask for rain, it will not be in vain.

As soon as he finished thinking about it, he was frightened by his own thoughts, that is the place where the emperor and the prince can board, and the only person who is not the emperor and the prince has been here is the Empress Zhou, and it is precisely because the Empress Zhou has begged for rain here and it has been successful, that the emperor built the Temple of Heaven here.

It's all royalty, not a place where his little envoy can climb high.

At this time, the Qintian Prison Supervisor came over, and Jin He was busy collecting his thoughts and standing up straight.

He communicated with the eunuch before, and the prince said that everyone in the Qin Heavenly Eunuch should help him, just to be able to ask for rain.

Now Qin Tianjian is his subordinate in the entire prison, so he doesn't need to be too polite.

Seeing the arrogance of the imperial envoy of Jinhe, the eunuch did not care about him, and asked, "When will the eunuch take the stage, when will he ask for rain, and when will it rain?" ”

This question is too professional for Jin He to know how to answer.

He looked at it and suddenly frowned: "Why don't you even have a bead of sweat?" ”

It's also a twenty-mile journey, why is he as hot as a soup chicken.

Jin He looked at the Qin Tianjian officials waiting under the rain platform, all of them were dry and refreshing, could they really have divine help?

The old eunuch didn't know what the envoy was asking for this question, obviously this question was very stupid.

However, his contempt was not expressed, and he replied respectfully: "The lower official came in the middle of the night, otherwise who will do the preparations?" ”

In the middle of the night, the weather was much cooler, and Jin He was jealous, so he thought about it and asked, "Did you come by walking?" ”

Fart, of course, is to take a car, and you have to bring a rain magic device.

The eunuch was too lazy to talk nonsense with this envoy again, and said; "Your Excellency, when will you be on stage, when will you ask for rain, and when will it rain? Xiaguan is here to cooperate"

This time I had to answer, Jin He thought about the old Taoist hexagrams, and said stiffly: "Take the stage immediately, and ask for rain after taking the stage." "Look at the sun in the sky, it's not raining.

Gritted his teeth: "Anyway, it will definitely rain today." ”
