The Great Song Dynasty opened the mode of praying for rain, and finally moved God. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the third day of the fifth month, Zheng Xia presented "The Picture of the Hungry Death of the Displaced People" ** Wang Anshi, and Zhao Xuan issued an edict to suspend Wang Xianggong.
After only one day, on the night of the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, Bianjing City suddenly ushered in a long-lost cool breeze, and after an instant, there was lightning and thunder.
The people of Bianjing were excited, and many people crawled out of the bed and walked outdoors, feeling the rare coolness, looking forward to the long-lost rain.
A lightning bolt split, and the entire Bianjing City was illuminated, and the faces of the common people were all excited and joyful. The drought has been going on for almost ten months, and people's expectations for rain have reached their extreme.
But everything is destined to be happy and sad!
Zhao Ji stood on the steps in front of the Funing Palace, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder, and his mood was a little complicated. The moist and cool breeze blew in his face, but it couldn't take away the irritability in his heart.
It's going to rain!
This is definitely a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty and the people, and the long-awaited Ganlin can rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty and stabilize the current panic situation.
Zhao Ji is very pleased! But there is some unhappiness in my heart, or regret and helplessness!
Why didn't it rain two days earlier, or ten days or so in the evening?
At the moment, it is raining, which is good for the Great Song Dynasty and the common people, but he, the emperor, is not so good.
Zheng Xia's oath has been fulfilled!
As long as the prime minister is dismissed, rain will definitely fall from the sky within ten days, and now it will rain in only two days.
Providence!
Zhao Ji was reluctant to accept his fate, but if this was the case, he was helpless!
The deposition of Wang Anshi was already inevitable, and Zhao Ji had no choice but to make such a decision, thinking about how to clean up the mess. Wang Anshi wants to leave, but the change cannot be completely stopped, and there must be a complete disposal.
Zhao Ji has been standing in front of the Funing Hall like this, even if the lightning and thunder are above his head, he has not heard it, and he stood in place and fell into deep thought. The inner servants didn't dare to come forward to disturb, the official family has been short-tempered recently, and if something goes wrong, they will be furious, so they are all cautious, lest they anger Long Yan!
Maybe when it rains, the official family will come back to their senses and go into the temple to take shelter from the rain!
But the lightning and thunder continued for nearly an hour, and the rain did not fall. The attendants were puzzled!
After a long time, Zhao Ji also realized this problem!
It's just thunder, isn't it raining yet? That Zheng Xia's oath...... Hehe, Zhao Ji suddenly had a hint of luck in his heart.
Maybe things are still turning around, and there is no need to be in such a hurry about the resignation!
Wait and see!
Zhao Ji was completely sleepy, so he asked the chamberlain to bring a stool and sit at the door of the Funing Palace, always maintaining that luck in his heart!
On this night, Wang Yan was also lucky!
When he found that the lightning and thunder were roaring outside, Wang Yan's heart sank to the bottom, is it really going to rain?
This rain is a rain and hope for others, but it is a disaster for their Wang family!
Wang Yan dragged the heavy sick body and got up, walked to the window, the lightning continued to illuminate the sky, reflecting his somewhat pale face, and the whole person had no spirit to say, and looked weak.
The wind is getting cooler and colder, which may be a rare coolness for others, but it is a little chilly for Wang Yan. His wife was very virtuous, and hurriedly put a cloak on him, and gently comforted: "Husband, go back to the couch and rest, be careful of the cold, and be careful of your body!" ”
"It's okay! You go and rest first! Wang Yan was very polite to his wife, but he was very unhappy in his heart! If the father loses the phase, the future is over, what is the use of the body?
"Hmm!" Little Madam Wang originally wanted to be comforted again, but when she saw Wang Yan's persistent eyes staring directly at the lightning sky, she had to shake her head slightly, sigh and turn away.
Wang Yan stood like this, and it was an hour at a time, and it didn't rain!
No rain!
Wang Yan's already cold body suddenly trembled, accompanied by his smug laughter!
It's just that the night is still very long, and the lightning and thunder are not far away, and who knows if it will rain in the second half of the night?
At this moment, Wang Yan's mood is the same as Zhao Xu, and even more persistent than Zhao Xu, so he stands in the cold and windy night, waiting with luck!
It's an ordeal!
It was a torment for the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and even for the people of Bianjing!
People were enthusiastically looking forward to it, lightning and thunder, and a cool breeze for an hour, but before the rain fell, everyone was a little anxious!
The people can't help but be a little disappointed, is it possible that God is joking, the drought will continue? Oh, my God! Don't let people live!
The officials were also anxious, looking straight at the sky, and they didn't know how urgent they were. Everyone knows that as long as a raindrop falls, Wang Anshi's phase will be finished!
In comparison, Zheng Xia may be the most tormented person!
Xu Rong told him that an old servant of his family was good at observing the weather, and it was expected that there would be rain within ten days, and under repeated encouragement, Zheng Xia made a decision to risk death!
Now that you've done it, let's be thorough and take a gamble! As long as he succeeds, it is inevitable that Wang Anshi will get out, his revenge will be avenged, he will also be famous all over the world, and there may be a new turn for the worse in his career. At least that picture and that bold statement should go down in history.
Being famous comes at a cost and risky!
The bet is on this rain, not raining is just a disappointment for others, but it is death for him!
If it doesn't rain for ten days, the crime of ruling the ministers and bullying the king, please be beheaded outside the Xuande Gate!
Is it fame and fortune, or sacrifice one's life for righteousness? The answer will be revealed tonight!
Seeing the lightning and thunder, when it was raining, Zheng Xia smiled, this time it was the right bet.
It seems that he has seen the revenge of the Ming Dynasty and the infinite scenery!
But after more than an hour, Zheng Xia's face gradually dimmed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, replaced by an extremely solemn look.
Zheng Xia looked straight at the sky, and said anxiously: "God, you can't joke at this time!" ”
This night, the whole Bianjing is destined to sleepless!
From the emperor to the common people, most of them did not sleep, but stayed outside, watching the lightning, listening to the thunder, blowing the cool breeze, and waiting for the rain to come!
Such a scene has never been seen in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty!
This night, Bianjing had too many emotions, anxiety, disappointment, luck, and expectation. And the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is a busy mess!
Chai Minyan's delivery date is approaching, and the fetus has been moving frequently recently, but no one knows which one of the children will land! After nightfall tonight, she rested early, and was asleep, when suddenly a thunderbolt woke her up.
Maybe she was frightened, or maybe she got up suddenly and had fetal gas, and after a while, Chai Minyan had abdominal pain, and she knew that this was a sign of childbirth!
Fortunately, the Hou Mansion had been prepared for a long time, and it was ready for battle, so it was not very flustered.
The maids dispatched one after another, the midwife was in place, the doctor was on board, boiling water and preparing medicine, preparing a tool, and at the same time reporting to the Hou Ye more quickly!
There were thunderstorms in the sky, lightning and thunder, but no one in the Hou Mansion cared about whether it was raining or not, all of them were busy!
Lin Zhao received the news and rushed over, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he heard Chai Minyan's painful shout!
Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun had already arrived first, and Lin Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" How about Minyan? ”
"Don't worry, husband, it doesn't matter!" Meng Ruoying has experience in childbirth, is relatively calm, and comforts: "Prenatal labor pains are inevitable!" ”
"Oh!" Lin Zhao also knows a little bit about obstetrics and gynecology, so he is a little relieved. After careful inquiry, I learned that it was because of the sudden explosion that I was startled by the thunder, and I suddenly gave birth, and some strange thoughts appeared in my heart.
Gu Yuelun said: "Hey, this thunder is really not the right time, it shocked the baby in Sister Minyan's belly!" ”
"By the way, how about Wenxin and Sihong? You okay? "There are now three pregnant women in the Hou Mansion, and Lin Zhao is naturally very worried.
"It's all right, husband doesn't have to worry!"
Lin Zhao turned around and saw Mu Sihong walking over with the help of Yu Tong. She has been pregnant for more than five months, her lower abdomen is bulging, but her movements are relatively light.
"Sihong, it's going to rain, why are you here?"
Mu Sihong shook her head and said, "Sister Minyan is in labor, so naturally she wants to come over and take a look!" I don't care, I've already seen Wenxin before I came, she's fine, but it's just that she can't move, so I didn't let her come! ”
Zhe Wenxin has been pregnant for more than nine months, and he is unable to move, so he naturally does not dare to go out at night, not to mention such bad weather!
"Good!" Lin Zhao was relieved at this time, and ordered: "Send a few people to take care of Wenxin and tell her to rest assured, I can't go to see her for the time being!" ”
Gu Yuelun was very capable, and immediately ordered to go down!
In the room, Chai Minyan's shouts became louder and louder, and they lasted for more than an hour at once!
Lin Zhao is really a little unsettled now, and Meng Ruoying didn't have so long when she gave birth?
"What's going on?" Lin Zhao was really relieved, so he asked a midwife to ask.
The midwife said: "Master Hou, don't worry, the fetal position is very positive, and there is no dystocia." Maybe the child is strong and larger, and the wife is the first child and has a weak physique, so the birth is slower! ”
In ancient times, when a woman gave birth to a child, there was no doubt that it was really a ghost door, as long as it was not a difficult birth, but Chai Minyan had to suffer.
Due to etiquette, Lin Zhao was not allowed to enter, so he had to shout through the window to encourage his beloved wife.
Mu Sihong comforted: "Don't worry, husband, I've heard people say before that the more difficult it is at birth, the more extraordinary the child." Especially on the night of thunderstorms, the children born have a great future! ”
Is that really the case? Lin Zhao didn't know, all he could do was wait!
And this wait is almost two hours, midnight has passed, and it is the early morning of the fifth day of the fifth month of May! The lightning continued, the thunder rumbled, mixed with Chai Minyan's cry of pain!
After Lin Zhao experienced the most unbearable wait after being reborn, he finally heard the loud cry of a baby in the delivery room!
Raw!
A servant woman immediately came to report: "Congratulations to Master Hou, Mrs. gave birth to a little son, mother and son are safe!" ”
At the same time, someone in the yard shouted: "It's raining, it's finally raining!" (To be continued.) )
