"The emperor is immoral, and the heavens will punish him!" A square-headed, big-eared non-monk and non-lay man sat in a strange costume on the eight-person step, and knelt down in front of him with a serious expression, "Now Our Lady of the Lotus has sent me to lead you and others to overthrow the control of the unvirtuous people and choose a new master." As long as the emperor makes an edict and recedes from the throne, the manna surrenders himself. ”

The group of believers immediately became excited, and some people couldn't help but raise their heads and shout, "Holy Mother of Lotus, bless me, the spirit body is holy, and the holy fruit will be realized early!" ”

Immediately after, the rest of the congregation began to shout. The messenger who claimed to have been sent by Our Lady of Lotus held the lotus with his hands full of compassion, "Follow, all the faithful, follow us and act according to the instructions of Our Lady of Lotus. ”

In the capital, the imperial city hall. The emperor's face took advantage of it, as if thunder was brewing. All the ministers held their breath and bowed their heads, cautious.

But there is always someone who has to speak, and Yushi has to speak hard, "Your Majesty, now the people are very angry, and they demand that Your Majesty must issue an edict for his own offense and open the Temple of Heaven to worship the sky." ”

"So, tell me what to write on my guilty edict?" The emperor's eyelids were not raised, and his voice was low.

Who dares to say that the emperor is at fault? Do you think you have an extra head? Yushi had an urge to cry, "Your Majesty, the edict is just a formality, and the sacrifice to heaven is also to appease the people's grievances." "The implication is that if you don't do this, the people's resentment will boil, and if something goes wrong, don't look for me.

The emperor sneered, "Didn't you say that you want to choose another Mingjun?" Let them tell them who they want to choose, and I will immediately go and worship the heavens. ”

The ministers were slandered in their hearts. I'm afraid I'm going to cut down the person who was chosen to sacrifice to the sky, right?

"Your Majesty!" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites came out of the crowd, "Your Majesty, the minister is foolish." It is better to follow the will of the people first, and if it does not rain at that time, the rumors will be self-defeating. ”

"Ridiculous!" The British public shouted angrily, "Isn't this being coerced by those foolish people and cults?" In the old man's view, he simply sent troops to suppress it. Those who resist will be killed. ”

"If the British public does this, I am afraid that it will further intensify the contradictions." The waiter shook his head. "Countering violence with violence is really not a good strategy."

The emperor wanted to agree with the suggestion of the British duke, he was the emperor, the master of the whole Great Xia. Those who are not convinced. Forget it, why do you use such a painstaking and roundabout method. He sighed in his heart, even the emperor, there are times when he has no choice. It's really aggrieved!

"Pan Aiqing. Tell me about it. The emperor looked at Taishi Pan Liangjin, who had been bowing his head and saying nothing.

Mrs. Pan walked out slowly. After a salute, he calmly spoke, "The minister has something unknown." At the same time, why was Dongxuan Mansion not affected? At the same time, why didn't the Dongxuan Mansion allow the cult to grow unchecked? ”

Is this a compliment? How do you feel like you're looking for something? Gu Mo is not here, but when it comes to him, the current Chengguo Duke Gu Yuanzhi has to speak. Now Gu Mo is still a person in the Chengguo Mansion, if it is not good. I am afraid that the Chengguo Mansion will also be affected.

"Taishi Pan didn't know that the grain in Dongxuanfu had been implemented. Naturally, it is less affected. What's more, with such a good thing as a waterwheel, it will naturally not delay the sowing of the second season. As long as there is hope, farmers will not leave their fields and wander around. On the plane, Dongxuanfu was well governed, and the demons' inappropriateness was discovered in time, and the matter was brought under control early, so naturally it was the least affected. ”

Taishi Pan smiled slightly, "If it is really His Majesty's misconduct, then why are some places not affected?" Obviously, it's just that the response is different from place to place. Of course, local officials can't be blamed. After all, the promotion of grain seeds cannot be achieved overnight, and our remedial measures in the later stage cannot be said to be inadequate. The root cause of this incident is just that someone has a crooked idea. ”

When the emperor heard this, he thought it was true, "Then what about according to the meaning of the Taishi?" ”

"According to the humble opinion of the old minister, I suggest that Your Majesty publish the drawings that have been presented to the world. That kind of good thing doesn't have to be in the hands of the imperial court. After all, with only the manpower of the imperial court, the speed of rushing is also limited. The drawings are issued, and there are craftsmen everywhere, and the speed will be much faster. Is there a great drought, and soon there will be a shortage of water? As long as the well produces water, it will not affect the farming and livelihood of the farmers, and will definitely attract some people to return to farming. The remaining die-hard elements were then suppressed by force. Of course, it is also indispensable to expose the true colors of those so-called messengers. ”

"Master Pan's words are reasonable." Lord Dasi Nongqi also stood up, "Your Majesty, it is better to take out a part of the stock of porridge on credit to curb the price of grain." As long as the grain can be sold at the regular price, it can also appease the people. Through this incident, I believe that the whole country has also seen the benefits of new grain varieties, and presumably the promotion of new grain varieties will be smoother in the future. ”

Some magistrates are accustomed to doing things slowly, and the benefits are also close to some powerful and wealthy families, and the peasants get less grain, so the speed of promotion is very slow.

The old croppers all say that in the summer, there will be a small drought for three days, and a major drought for five days. Although this is an exaggeration, generally speaking, if it does not rain for half a month to a month, it has to rely on river water and well water for irrigation. This major drought began in mid-May, and now it is August, and there has been no rain for almost three months.

The emperor nodded, "Master Pan, before tomorrow, give me a fold." Let's disperse today. ”

After retiring from the court, the emperor returned to the imperial study. He frowned and asked his father-in-law, "What's so urgent that you won't let me stay longer even in the early dynasty?" Is it because I look ugly, afraid that I will really be angry? ”

The emperor's tone was not serious, and Father-in-law Yu grew up serving him, so he would occasionally joke with him.

Father-in-law Yu bowed down and said, "It's one thing for a slave to feel sorry for Your Majesty, but this is really an urgent matter." Otherwise, where does Nuci have the courage to gesture to Your Majesty! ”

After serving the emperor all these years, no one knows the emperor better than Gonggong Yu. Although he is sometimes kind to himself, he definitely does not want to see himself disrespectful in the slightest. To put it bluntly, the people who are emperors are people who are deep and suspicious.

"Okay, what the hell is going on?" The emperor was obviously satisfied with his father-in-law's attitude, and waved his hand to let him reply.

Father-in-law Yu took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it to the emperor with both hands, "It was ordered by Your Majesty, and the Dongxuan Mansion will present it to Your Majesty as soon as there is a letter." ”

As soon as the emperor saw the bamboo tube, he knew that it was the majestic falcon that was coming again, he took out the letterhead, quickly swept it, and couldn't help but stroke his palm and laugh, "Hahaha! This Liu Yunxiang is indeed a disciple of Master Chengtian! I even left a hand! In this way, I am also determined! (To be continued.) )
