Chapter Twenty-Five: The Mountain Rain is Coming
In the early morning five days later, a black cloud appeared in the sky of Zhili, covering the earth, and it did not dissipate for three days, and the people talked about it, all thinking that it was the sky and that it was going to rain heavily. The emperor was overwhelmed, and summoned Liu Huizu, Mu Shuai and other old ministers to discuss, at this time Mu Shuai's body was not as good as before, and his weak body could not stand for a long time, so the emperor hurriedly asked the chamberlain to move a chair for him. He spoke first, breaking the silence: "I heard that there has been a demon cloud in Zhili recently, which will not disperse for three days, and sometimes there is thunder, and the people are panicked. ”
Liu Huizu said: "Today's plan, in order to show Your Majesty's care for Li Minsheji, I also ask Your Majesty to go to the altar to worship and protect the safety of Sheji." Mu Shuai also echoed: "The old minister seconded the proposal, in recent years, disasters have occurred in the world, and the people are uneasy, and I ask Your Majesty to deign to worship the gods and bless the world with peace." The ministers echoed the voice. The emperor frowned: "The flood of the Yellow River is due to the lax supervision of the upstream officials, and I have already allocated funds for disaster relief; The Shandong earthquake is due to my lack of personal morality, and I have already issued an edict for my own crimes, and I have also allocated funds for disaster relief; Now he said that there was a dark cloud, and before it rained, I would cry and beg heaven to spare my people. The gods, the gods are just fooling the people, and the people have read the books of the sages, but they don't know such truths? ”
Seeing that Long Yan was angry, all the ministers knelt down to ask for guilt, and Mu Shuai said: "Your Majesty, this is an expedient measure, just for the stability of Your Majesty's society." The Emperor covered his head and sighed, "Even so, that's all it takes." Under the sacrificial stage, the emperor's whole gown was a little heavy, and his mood was equally heavy. Walking on the altar, as soon as the lit incense was inserted into the incense burner, it was cut in half, and there was a commotion for a while......
On the Five Elements Mountain, Xu Yuan was still holding a paper kite, and he asked Shanyuan: "Master, I'm all so high, okay?" Good karma yelled at him from afar: "No! It's just where it goes. Xu Yuan had no choice but to continue to run and swing upward, and suddenly a huge force followed the rope towards him, Xu Yuan kicked his legs, fainted to the ground, and Shanyuan jumped up happily in the distance, "Xu Yuan!" All right! Why are you lying on the ground, boy? "Good karma ran over with a sheepskin glove on his hand." Oh, look at me, I forgot to have a pair of gloves for you. ”
On the day, when Xu Yuan woke up from the bed, he remembered yesterday's incident, sat up and was about to go to Shanyuan to settle accounts, only to feel dizzy and dizzy, numb hands and feet, and hurriedly lay down again, it took a while to get better, he slowly sat up, found shoes, stood up to find Shanyuan. The old monk saw Xu Yuan, who was walking towards him with a hideous face, and hurriedly put down the stone box in his hand and walked over to him: "Oh, you woke up so soon, I said, your body is good, you must be fine." Xu Yuan was furious: "How can you clean up those fatal things and toss your apprentice, I am your own apprentice, who will send you to the end when I die?" The old monk looked weak: "Isn't there still Meng Jia?" Xu Yuan pointed at him: "It turns out that you just used me as a shield for the dead ghost, it's too scary, you stay by yourself, the master has gone down the mountain." As he spoke, he was about to go down the mountain, but Shanyuan hurriedly grabbed him: "What are you talking about, the drone can take off, so you can't watch it." I'm going to teach you more. ”
Xu Yuan turned around and had a smile on his face: "Master, what are you talking about, how can I not read it, without you, how can I be where I am today, teach me quickly." "Good fate took out a small thing the size of a palm with a few small poles on it. Shanyuan said: "Look, this is called a handle, you go and set up those drones, go quickly." Xu Yuan ran to set up hundreds of drones, but before he got thirty, he didn't move, he said: "It's too much, you see that this is like a hill and you can't get it, you call two of them first for me to see." Shanyuan raised his eyebrows: "Now it's your good master again?" I saw him gently fiddle with the small pole, and the paddle of a drone began to rotate and rise into the air, Xu Yuan was stunned.
"There is still such an artifact in the world, it can really go up to nine heavens!" "Boy, you see, there's even more powerful!" He tugged at the small pole, and the drone circled into the sky as fast as it could. "See, you can fly to the clouds!" As he spoke, the drone was almost invisible, and at this moment, a flash of thunder and lightning flashed in the clouds, and it was slashing on the drone, and the iron bump staggered and fell straight down. Xu Yuan shouted, "Master! Come on, it's falling! Shanyuan was anxious: "Don't scream, boy, I'm in a hurry, didn't you see the thunder split?" It doesn't listen to me, and I don't have a problem. ”
I saw that the drone was stunned and fell to a hill in front of him, Xu Yuan and Shanyuan glanced at each other, pulled their feet and ran there, and when they got there, the drone had fallen to pieces, Xu Yuan looked at Shanyuan, and the old monk looked empty: "What kind of eyes are you?" Don't we have a few hundred more? Xu Yuan angrily shook his hand and walked down the mountain, Shanyuan followed and said: "Actually, the Buddha also thinks that you should go down the mountain and prepare to go, always eat and drink on my mountain, and don't give money, delay your big thing, when you need it, Meng Jia will go to you, you don't need to come to me again, there is one more thing, drones can only be used once, if you want to destroy their fighting spirit, you can only use it in the most important war." ”
Xu Yuan replied: "Got it!" Shanyuan watched him walk away, froze his steps, looked at the wreckage of the drone in his hand, sighed, turned around and walked in the direction of the house, and said as he walked: "It's really old, the people who are forced to stay can't keep it, I forgot about it." ”
Gyeonggi, Imperial Palace, Geonjeongjeongjeon
"Your Majesty, I found out, it was the little chamberlain who stole the incense in front of the palace and sold it out of the palace for silver, and it has been tied up and waiting for Your Majesty to be sent down." The emperor was furious: "Li Wenchang! This is the person under your hands, and even the sacrificial things dare to steal! Ling Chi is at the entrance of the vegetable market, strictly control the people in the palace, Li Wenchang, you are the general manager, the control is not strict, go and get the thirty rods yourself. The steward trembled and went down to receive the punishment. The emperor was still angry, but this matter was very important, so he could only suppress his anger and come to the Ministry of Rites to discuss: "Wu Aiqing, you see that this matter must be blocked now, for the sake of today's plan, what should I do?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the matter can't be suppressed, I can only ask you to make an edict to blame yourself for this matter, then I'm afraid it's feasible." ”
