Worshipping the heavens and praying for blessings is not only a major event in the eyes of the people, but it is just to obtain the necessary self-comfort in their hearts; It is also a necessary procedure in the eyes of officials, so as to put on a coat of "acting on behalf of heaven" for themselves, so as to better control the people.

In Zhao Junchen's eyes, the so-called sacrifice to the sky and praying for blessings is his best opportunity to build momentum and put on a show.

Yes, in Zhao Junchen's eyes, the so-called sacrifice to the heavens and blessings, in the final analysis, is a momentum and a show, so that the people can follow him to kill locusts with peace of mind, and by the way, improve his disgraceful reputation among the government and the opposition.

On this day, outside the city of Lu'an Mansion, the people gathered, the crowd of people, not only the people around the city of Fucheng have arrived, but also those officials and businessmen in Shanxi, those squires and elders in Lu'an Mansion, all the famous and surnamed people, all of them have arrived, and they are all gathered around the altar set up overnight at this moment, watching the progress of the prayer ceremony to the sky.

At this time, the altar is close to the left, the gongs and drums are noisy, the firecrackers are bursting, the monks are chanting, the Taoist priests are doing the law, the gods are praying, and the witches are dancing the gods.

I have to say that this is very useful, the extermination of locusts is a big deal in the eyes of the people, no one knows whether the legendary locust god is the character of the jaws, and now seeing the spokesmen of the gods and Buddhas gathered here, the people speculated and uneasy, and they have calmed down a little.

At that time, until noon, the sun hung in the sky, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky finally entered the main topic.

Under the watchful eyes of all the officials, amid the cheers of a group of officials and businessmen, Zhao Junchen wore a sacrificial costume and slowly walked up to the altar with the accompaniment of Ya music.

Then, the firecrackers stopped, the gongs and drums stopped, the monks, Taoists, priests, gods, and witches also stopped their respective rituals, and the quiet atmosphere near the altar began to spread around, and soon, it was already quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Junchen.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, and then took out the sacrificial text that Liu Changan had prepared for him, and chanted it in the loudest voice.

"Heaven is supreme, cooperate and appreciate, bow down, swear to take responsibility, sacrifice three animals, and wish to protect ......"

Halfway through the reading, Zhao Junchen couldn't help frowning, he was wondering if the people could understand this obscure sacrificial text.

However, Zhao Junchen also knew that the people didn't really care about what this sacrificial text said, they just valued the solemnity and mystery of the sacrificial text.

When I looked up, sure enough, every person was in awe.

Finally finished reading the sacrificial text, Zhao Junchen put the article in his sleeve and began to explain the intention of this sacrifice to the people in the vernacular.

"People, heaven is not benevolent, locust plague in Lu'an, everyone has worked hard for a year, but there is no harvest. Fortunately, Liu Zhifu is capable, timely reported to the imperial court, the Son of Heaven loves the people, timely allocation of food for rescue, however, the locust plague is not stopped, but intensified, now it has spread to Taiyuan, Hedong and other places, once the misfortune of Lu'an Mansion spreads throughout Shanxi, there will be chaos, at that time, even if Lu'an Mansion has the help of the imperial court, where can it be alone in a corner? Therefore, not only for the sake of the stability of the world, but also to prevent the recurrence of the locust plague in the coming year, the official has made up his mind to exterminate the locusts!! ”

Although he had already received the news, after hearing Zhao Junchen's words, there was a slight confusion among the people, and the whispers among the people were soft, mixed in one place, and there was a buzz.

"Silence!!"

Seeing such a situation, Liu Changan, who was sitting on the side, got up and shouted first.

Liu Changan has served as a parent official in Lu'an Mansion over the years, and he has already formed a prestige in the hearts of the people, so soon, the people quieted down.

After nodding slightly at Liu Changan to express his appreciation, Zhao Junchen continued to raise his voice and said: "This official knows that everyone is worried that this locust plague is a punishment from heaven, and it is the intention of the locust god. But the official here makes it clear that this locust plague is by no means a punishment from heaven, because the official believes that the people of Lu'an Mansion are simple and kind, and they have never done anything to hurt heaven and reason. Even if this locust plague is done by the locust god, the official is also willing to pray to the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth here, and the matter of culling locusts is my Zhao Junchen's strong advocacy, just to save the people from hardship, if God is dissatisfied and punishes him, I, Zhao Junchen, am willing to shoulder it and never pass the buck to others!! ”

The last sentence, Zhao Junchen has been repeated countless times these days, extremely skilled, and his voice is even louder than before, and it has been transmitted to the ears of the surrounding people, and under the leadership of all officials, businessmen, squires and elders, it has caused a cheer.

Even if the people who were far away did not hear Zhao Junchen's words clearly, they had already prepared for a long time "well-wishers" who repeated Zhao Junchen's words to the surrounding people, and finally added a sentence of "This Lord Zhao is really a good official".

These "well-wishers" were naturally arranged by Zhao Junchen in advance.

The people of this era, simple and ignorant, are most easily bewitched by "people and clouds", seeing Zhao Junchen's attitude, listening to the admiration of the people around him, he didn't think in his heart: "This Lord Zhao seems to be a good official, in order to save our people, he is willing to bear the punishment of heaven with his own strength, before someone said that he was a big corrupt official, well, someone must be slandering this Lord Zhao." ”

Thinking like this, the people's cheers for Zhao Junchen became louder.

Finally, when the cheers of the people fell, Zhao Junchen was about to continue to speak, and there was a sudden change.

I heard a young man's voice under the altar, and it suddenly sounded.

"If Lord Qincha really thinks about the people, why would he arrest and detain dozens of innocent people indiscriminately because of a misunderstanding, and to this day, even without trial or release, so that dozens of good families cry at night, and hundreds of people are terrified all day long because of this?"

Zhao Junchen followed the sound and looked, but saw that near the sacrificial platform, there were more than a dozen scholars gathered there, the leader was about the same age as Zhao Junchen, with an ancient face and a green shirt, and now he was looking at Zhao Junchen with a slight provocation.

In this era, scholars have a high status in the hearts of the people, so these people came to the altar very lightly, and the surrounding people even consciously gave up some space to prevent them from crowding.

Seeing this sudden change, before Zhao Junchen could speak, Liu Changan had already gotten up again, and the anger on his face could be seen by anyone, and he shouted loudly: "Zhang Qicheng, after those chaotic people threw stones to attack Lord Qincha that day, you dared to whip in the street to celebrate, I haven't settled accounts with you about this matter, and now you dare to provoke again, don't you think that your father once served as a servant of the ministry, and this official can't catch you?" Don't think that this official doesn't know, the reason why those rebels dared to attack Lord Qincha last time was because you instigated it!! ”

Zhang Qicheng was not afraid of Liu Changan's official prestige at all, and said coldly: "Gu Xianyun, wealth and nobility can't be lewd, mighty can't be bent, Liu Changan, others are afraid of you, a corrupt official, but I'm not afraid, the people are simple, and they are the most easily bewitched, some corrupt officials think that they can deceive the world if they are coy, the reason why I show up is to wake up the people, don't be deceived by corrupt officials!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qicheng looked at Zhao Junchen again, and the provocation in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"What's going on with this Zhang Qicheng?"

When Zhang Qicheng and Liu Changan were arguing, Zhao Junchen asked a Lu'an Mansion official not far away.

The official of the Lu'an Mansion was full of anger and explained to Zhao Junchen: "This Zhang Qicheng's father is Zhang Xuan, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials, and after being dismissed from the government a few years ago, he has been shouting all day long." Crazy words such as 'corrupt officials are rampant tomorrow', I finally died of illness a few years ago, I thought I could be cleaner, but I didn't expect this Zhang Qicheng and his father to have a temperament, even more stubborn than his father, and he has caused trouble for the prefect over the years, but his father had a few friends in the court back then, so the prefect was not easy to punish him at will, but this Zhang Qicheng thought that no one could control him, and now he is becoming more and more lawless. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded thoughtfully, looking at Zhang Qicheng with a jealous and hateful face, he was secretly happy in his heart, and thought: "This Zhang Qicheng came just in time!" ”

On the other side, Liu Changan was already smoked by Zhang Qicheng's mouthful of "corrupt officials", and shouted angrily at the surrounding officials: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't tie this person up and put him in jail yet!! ”

"Wait!!"

At this moment, Zhao Junchen suddenly opened his mouth to stop him.
