Chapter 72: Gods
Wei Qian's face โกโก, and when she returned to the palace, she immediately closed the palace door.
"Red Tsubaki, stay outside, don't let anyone in!" Wei Qian closed the curtain, lay on the bed and gritted her teeth, silently enduring the buzzing noise in her head.
"Is it Midway?" Wei Qian guarded her mind and listened carefully to the prayers in her head.
A few days ago, Wei Qian went back to Shimen to find Lingyun for advice. Lingyun gave this method of dividing the spirit and gods, so that Wei Qian could create the second primordial god to undertake incense as a god.
In the past few days, Xuanyun has built a temple on Midway. On the first day of prayer, because of the novelty, many residents of the island immediately went to burn incense. The sound of incense and prayer was put into the statue and connected to Wei Qian's side.
"Li Xian Niangniang bless, this year's harvest is good, don't starve."
"Mother bless my son to return safely from the sea......"
"Island God Niangniang, my daughter-in-law has just become pregnant, please ask Niangniang to bless and give birth to a boy!"
โฆโฆ
Wei Qiankeng was abducted and deceived, and Jia Mei brought 10,000 people to Midway Island by various means. In addition to the family members who worked in the shipyard, there were also the workshops that Gu Zhenzhen later built. Craftsmen are very popular at Midway, so they take their families with them. In addition, there are various refugees, who are pulled to Midway.
These people are all civilians, who belong to the lowest level in Shenzhou, with the loess facing the sky, and the lives of farming and work. Moreover, according to the rules, seventy percent of the harvest needs to be handed over to the landlords, and the remaining thirty percent of these servants themselves are just barely enough to survive the winter.
But at Midway, Wei Qian collected 50% of the rent, and the remaining 50% was given to them for their own use. Moreover, the climate of Midway Island is suitable, even in winter, there is no cold in the north, and the grain can be harvested twice or even three times a year.
Paradise, plus the family is here, naturally there is no homesickness, and I concentrate on living on Midway.
But Wei Qian ignored one thing, and that was faith.
In Shenzhou, there are temples and Taoist temples, and you can go to worship on incense when you have nothing to do on weekdays, and you can also come to a temple fair from time to time. And in Midway, not to mention the Jade Emperor and the Buddha, there is not even the most basic land.
These people did not dare to speak up for fear of the island owner's force. Now Xuanyun took the initiative to build an earthen shrine, and was immediately worshiped by everyone on incense.
Because Wei Qian inherited the honorific title of Lishan's mother, Xuanyun used "Li" as the god name. Lishan fairy, so it is called Lixian.
At the time of publicity, it was the fairy who came out of Lishan Wonderland, and was ordered by the old mother of Lishan to transform into a goddess to protect the islanders on Midway.
Invisibly, the "Li Xian" occupies the god position of the land, and the ruler of the island is a kind of earth mother god.
Wei Qian's consciousness was attached to the idol, and inside the idol, there was part of the primordial god that she had split at the beginning, and the incense gathered to give birth to another spiritual body.
Like the statue of the god, the spirit body is also in the form of a fairy holding Ruyi, silently looking at the people outside the earth shrine.
Most of these people are women, who come to offer incense during the slack season. And for the first time today, the good deeds spread ten to hundreds, and hundreds of people knelt outside.
Listening to these incense prayers, Wei Qian sighed lightly: "Where can I realize these prayers one by one?" โ
What kind of child, what kind of marriage, where can she do it?
"It's worshipping me as God Almighty." Wei Qian noticed that the divine soul began to have a split conflict because of these incense prayers, and hurriedly stripped away some of the messy incense thoughts, concentrating on leaving the pure thoughts of incense.
The essence of incense is the spiritual power of all peoples. In addition to prayers, everyone present also thanked them.
After all, Wei Qian's mother and daughter pull people, and most of them are people who are precarious and hovering on the verge of hunger. Now that I live comfortably on the island, I naturally have a sense of gratitude to the owner and others.
Xuanyun said that the owner of the island was ordered by Li Xian to establish a paradise, and this gratitude naturally fell on Li Xian.
These incense thoughts of gratitude are very pure, and they are also the foundation of Wei Qian's spiritual growth. After a while, his soul was stable, and he began to slowly ponder the incense mixed with the prayers of mortals.
"In my previous life, I also read a lot of novels about incense gods, all of which said that the priesthood divine seal, although there is no induction at present, but I can feel it in the dark, and accepting the incense prayer means helping to repay the wish."
Accepting the spiritual power of others is also a process of receiving guidance from others, and the instinct of the gods is biased towards these believers.
Promised those women to protect the children who went to sea, then Wei Qian's future direction is the god of the sea, paying more attention to navigation, and having the obligation to protect the islanders who go out to sail. If we ensure that the wind and rain on the island are smooth and the grains are abundant, then more attention is paid to agriculture, and the field is biased towards land and harvest. There is also marrying a wife and having children, and this kind of marriage and childbearing is another field.
At present, Wei Qian has only one divine authority, and that is the land god position of Midway Island itself. Everyone thinks she is the guardian of the island, so this position is crucial and her foundation.
But what next? Take the road of the earth and bless the believers with a bumper harvest? Or do you want to be a marriage god who gives away children in a safe house? Or is it a goddess of the ocean?
Wei Qian hesitated and told Xuanyun about his situation. Xuanyun was also hesitant, after all, it was the first time she had seen this kind of god. When the two of them were together, Wei Qian suddenly felt a strange movement from the side of the body, hurriedly extracted his consciousness from the idol, opened his eyes, and heard a shout from outside: "The emperor has arrived-!" โ
Wei Qian's expression changed greatly in Ningshou Palace, and she turned around and hid in the house. As soon as the news spread, Situ Yun came to visit after finishing his work.
Wei Qian lay on the bed, listening to the prayers of hundreds of people, her heart was haggard, and she was ready to get up to greet her. Situ Yun hurriedly held her down: "Since you are sick, there is no need to be polite." โ
Looking at Wei Qian, Wei Qian's skin was already fair, but now it is a little less bloody and more morbid and beautiful.
"Have you ever asked for a doctor?"
"No, it's just a little uncomfortable, just come back and recuperate." Wei Qian is not sick at all, but her mental strength is too exhausted, so she can sleep well.
But Situ Yun didn't believe it, he was used to seeing harem battles, so he naturally thought that Wei Qian had been tricked. So he summoned the imperial doctor to give Wei Qian a shock, and asked about today's itinerary carefully.
"It may be that I caught a cold last night, and today I have a gaffe on the Queen Mother's side. It's not a big deal, don't worry, turn around and let Hongchun go to the Queen Mother's side to ask for the crime of dishonorment. โ
Wei Qian shook her head with a smile, asked Hongchun to put a pillow for herself, and leaned on the head of the bed to talk to Situ Yun. From time to time, his eyes fell on the two courtiers in the outhouse.
Successive kings have had living notes, and it is the living officer who is responsible for recording these things.
In this dynasty, the province of Zhongshu set up a housekeeper to record the events experienced by the emperor. The province set up a living room to record the emperor's words and affairs. Even, the holy decrees issued by each generation of emperors and various recitals will be recorded one by one. Only when the emperor lived his private life at night did he have a little freedom to speak of.
Most of these historians were from Hanlin and took turns to record the emperor's daily life as a source for compiling historical books in the future.
"They record the words and deeds of the emperor, and if they want to learn the emperor's way of governing the country, it is best to find them except for the emperor himself." Even what they recorded must be more detailed than what Wei Qian learned from Situ Yun. This is a record of what happens every day in this dynasty, and it is the most detailed "textbook for governing the country."
Using the daily notes of these historians, and then connecting with the actual examples of the people around him, this is the learning route Wei Qian chose.
But-
The problem is that these historians' things are not easy to read. Wei Qian lives in the deep palace and is beyond their reach.
"There is also a great seal from the Son of Heaven on the side of the Hanlin Courtyard to suppress all evils. It's impossible to read it from the history library with supernatural powers. Only by using the methods of mortals, digging little by little. โ
Wei Qian had a ride or a ride to talk to Situ Yun, and secretly pondered: These two Sheren Langjun have been by His Majesty's side for more than a year. The people promoted by Situ Yun personally have no doubt about their loyalty. It is not possible to win them over, but this position is to be replaced in turns, and if they are sent out in the future, they will need to be replaced by new people.
How did most of the people in Hallymin come here?
Imperial examination.
Therefore, Wei Qian's method can only come from here. Cultivate talents by yourself, secretly handle it, and find a way to push him to the position of a living officer.
"Don't worry, Situ Yun himself has no experience in governing the country, let's take our time."
At this time, the imperial doctor came over to diagnose Wei Qian, and finally frowned, and reported to Situ Yun after going out: "Niangniang is in good health, but she is worried and lacks sleep, Rong Chen went back to prepare a few medicines, and drank them on time for two days." โ
In the end, he is an old man in the hospital, and he is proficient in the affairs of the harem. Just saw that Wei Qian was not sick, and his face was just in poor spirits. But according to this statement, he definitely couldn't convince Situ Yun, so he prescribed two health care pills.
Wei Qian's heart was clear, and she asked Hongchun to boil the medicine with her, and asked Situ Yun about her arrangements for tonight: "Where are you going to stay tonight?" โ
"Right here you are."
"The concubine is unwell, I'm afraid it will be difficult to serve, why don't you let those sisters in the palace come?"
Thinking of the women he had seen, Situ Yun was a little moved, but with so many people around, the emperor was still thin-skinned and said reservedly: "No, stay here today." โ
Wei Qian asked again and again, but Situ Yuncai accepted it with a reluctant look.
The living man next to him silently wrote: "Emperor Tanning Concubine, stay in Yongfu Palace." Concubine Ning was virtuous and polite, and asked Her Majesty to move into the side hall on the grounds of her own physical inconvenience. However, His Majesty was affectionate and insisted on refusing. After Concubine Ning's three invitations, His Majesty took pity on Concubine Ning's body and went to the side hall in desperation. โ
See, that's the credit for the show.
Situ Yun may not be as good as his father in governing the country, but he is a first-class master in this kind of buying people's hearts and acting and dressing up his face.
In life, what you want is power and fame.
Situ Yun is the emperor, and his power is already at the peak, and he can only compete with his father for the supreme right to be the first in the world. But for fame, the merits and demerits after a thousand years will be commented on by later generations, and what he can do is to make a virtuous appearance in front of others.
Wei Qian beckoned someone to bring a bag of tips, and said to Situ Yun: "The concubine is not in good health, and it is difficult for those sisters to come over in person to let His Majesty meet him." It is better to take a fancy to whomever you like, so you can invite them to the Luanhe Palace. โ
Luanhe Palace, the side hall on the left side of Yongfu Palace, Wei Qian vacated it for Situ Yun's use.
Situ Yun looked at the names on the bag and felt very curious. The eyes are selected from the different colors of the bag, and finally choose a plain white bag embroidered with plum blossom patterns.
"You see, this plum blossom embroidery is good, it matches yours. That's it. Situ Yun looked at it and understood, this is the daughter of the squire of the Criminal Department.
"Bai Su?" Wei Qian knew that this was a person sent in by Taoism, and it seemed to be related to the three princes.
"Well, it's providence to think about it. While Situ Yun was over, I passed the news to Shi Qinglan and asked the two rivals to fight on their own. Wei Qian thought about it and arranged for Bai Su to sleep.
When Situ Yun rushed away, Wei Qian suddenly woke up: "Am I a bustard?" "I'm in a hurry to find someone for Situ Yun, isn't that kind of person?
"I really don't know how the queen endures it on weekdays." However, Wei Qian had no feelings for Situ Yun, and after sending this great god who could not afford to offend, he concentrated on studying his own god incarnation.
