The Temple of Heaven is also called the round hill, which is located two miles east of the Mingde Gate at the south gate of Chang'an City. The Temple of Heaven is a square four-storey platform, each level of height difference is 8 feet 1 inch, from top to bottom, respectively 5, 10, 15, 20 zhang long and wide. In the Tang Dynasty, major events were held here.

When they arrived at the Temple of Heaven, everyone was given a wicker branch, which they usually held with their left hand, and when they sacrificed, they should hold both ends with both hands and hold it high above their heads.

It was already noon, and Li Shimin was about to start begging for rain.

Others begging for rain are worshiping the Dragon King, Li Shimin is the Son of Heaven, and if you ask for rain, you will find a person with a higher level - Taishang Laojun.

The status of the dragon king is not as good as that of the Taishang Laojun, and the Taishang Laojun speaks, and the Dragon King does not dare not listen, so it is more useful to ask the Taishang Laojun than to ask the Dragon King.

Of course, these are all Li Chunfeng's fools to Li Shimin, and he swore an oath that he had received a hint from the disciple of Taishang Laojun that it would definitely rain today.

Taishang Laojun hoped that His Majesty the Emperor of the world would personally ask for rain to show his status as the son of heaven who was ordained by heaven.

Li Shimin was originally skeptical, but Li Chunfeng swore that if he didn't work, he would be willing to die to apologize. Li Chengqian was also on the side to help.

Li Shimin is now plagued by gossip between the government and the opposition, and there is no other better solution anyway, so let's give it a try.

At this moment, Li Shimin was standing on a high platform, without a yellow umbrella on his head, and the scorching sun was like fire, making him dizzy. He looked around, the sky was cloudless, where was there a little bit of rain?

However, at this time, it was too late for him to regret it. This matter has been announced to the world, and there are tens of thousands of people standing in the audience, including the court nobles, civil and military officials, and representatives from all walks of life, and the ceremony of praying for rain can only continue.

Xiao Qian presided over the sacrificial ceremony, and he shouted: "The rain prayer ceremony begins." Worship the heavens!"

Li Shimin took the lead and knelt down. Tens of thousands of people fell to their knees in the dark.

Xiao Qian shouted: "Licheng." Rise! ”

The crowd stood up.

Xiao Qian shouted: "Sacrifice to heaven!" ”

Li Shimin bowed to the sky again. He took out the manuscript and read, "...... The minister was commanded by heaven to pray for the favor of God...... Bestow on Ganlin. ”

Li Chunfeng didn't listen to a word of Li Shimin's painstaking memorial speech, his eyes stared at the sky vigorously, hoping to see the dark clouds appear. However, there was not even a single white cloud.

Li Chengqian also began to sweat, it was not hot, but anxious, worried and afraid.

At this moment, Li Chengqian and Li Chunfeng secretly hated Li You, and said in their hearts: "How can you believe in you, a bastard evil?!" ”

Li Shimin read it for half an hour before he finished reading a memorial message.

Next, it's time for Li Chunfeng to perform. He was dressed in Taoist robes and stood in the center of the altar.

Li Chunfeng held the peachwood sword in his right hand, stood in his palm and chest in his left hand, and muttered words in his mouth: "Taishang Laojun favors, disciple Li Chunfeng is dedicated to the Tao, practicing for 20 years, for the sake of the disciple's sincerity, rain down." Otherwise, the disciple's life will be at risk. ”

The crowd was so far away from him that they couldn't hear what he was saying.

Li Chunfeng chattered while looking at the sky, hoping that a dark cloud could really fly, and it would be better if it rained.

But, however, ......

Li Chunfeng tried his best to delay time, and repeated it several times in a row, and when he saw that he couldn't delay any longer, he raised the sword in his hand, pointed to the sky and shouted:

"Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law, sick!"

Everyone looked up at the sky, it was useless! Not to mention the rain, not even a single cloud hair.

Li Chunfeng was anxious, raised the sword in his hand again, and shouted: "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law, sick!" Disease!! !!"

No response!

There was a burst of discussion in the audience, tens of thousands of people, everyone's voice was small, and when it came together, it was a "buzzing" wave.

Li Chunfeng turned his head to look at Li You, but he couldn't see that he was on the steps below.

Li Chunfeng was about to cry, Li Chengqian's heart had already been pinched together, and he was about to stop beating.

Li Shimin asked suspiciously, "...... Daoist Li?"

"Shhhhhh

When Li Shimin saw it, he quickly shut up, worried that he would disturb Li Chunfeng to listen to Taishang Laojun's will.

After listening for a while, Li Chunfeng nodded frequently, and then saluted into the air. Say it loudly: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Li Chunfeng turned to Li Shimin and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, good news." Just now, Taishang Laojun's waiter said that Taishang Laojun was not at home today, and his old man went to attend the Jade Emperor's banquet.

However, the waiter said that he would tell the old gentleman. Within three days, it will rain. ”

Li Shimin was skeptical, bowed to the sky, and expressed his gratitude.

The crowd talked about it and doubted it. However, Li Chunfeng looked like he had words, and everyone didn't dare to question it. Anyway, we'll see in three days.

Back in Chang'an City, as soon as Li You returned home, Li Chengqian and Li Chunfeng came to the door.

"Fifth brother, what's going on? Didn't you say it was raining today, why didn't there be any movement at all? Li Chengqian said with a sad face.

Li Chunfeng also said: "Your Highness, this little fate of the minister is explained. On the brow is a deep "Chuan" character.

Li You smiled: "What's the hurry, isn't there still three days?" Rest assured, it will definitely rain. Come, eat an ice cream, and defeat the fire. ”

Li Chengqian and Li Chunfeng ate ice cream, but they still couldn't settle down in their hearts.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't sit still, Li You smiled and said: "Don't worry, I dare to pack the ticket, it won't rain in three days, and I won't eat meat for a year!" ”

Li Chengqian and Li Chunfeng were even more worried, and said in their hearts: "You just don't eat meat, we are going to be unlucky." ”

Li You was patient, and finally coaxed the two away.

After Li You sent them back, he lay on the recliner and said to the white tiger, "Come here, pinch my head." ”

While massaging him, Baihu praised: "Lord Wang, the little one admires you, you are open-minded, not frightened by humiliation, not afraid of danger, and the demeanor of a real general." ”

Li You smiled, did not speak, closed his eyes and pondered.

To be honest, he felt a little awkward about today's events. The information recorded is that it rained at noon today, and it is almost evening, and there is still not a cloud hair in the sky.

"This is a lesson, it seems that those major events are more reliable, and things like this are not very accurate when it comes to a certain day." Li Youxin said.

The next day, there was no rain. Li You has a big heart, anyway, there are still two days to go, and he is not in a hurry.

On the morning of the third day, Li You called Yu Chi Baoqi, handed him a map of the distribution of minerals in the Chang'an area, and gave him a booklet with relevant knowledge of prospecting, and said to him:

"Baoqi, you should familiarize yourself with this knowledge as soon as possible, and if you don't understand, come and ask me. After getting acquainted, organize people to go out to find mines, which is a major source of income for our research institute. ”

Yu Chi Baoqi took the drawings and manuals, but did not leave, looking like she wanted to say something.

Li You asked curiously, "Baoqi, what's wrong?" ”
