Chapter 328: Calamity
Some people are happy and some are worried, nine times out of ten life is unsatisfactory, Liu Jian is just worried, but Shao Wuqing is boundless worry.
Dijing, a rural suburb.
In the Huangzhuang, there were already a large number of people and horses gathered there, the people of the Huangzhuang watched from afar, but they never dared to approach, they could only see black smoke rising in the distance, in that square and square place, some, just weird!
What the hell is this?
Shao Wuqing fell into deep thought, in front of him, there was a broken thing, he didn't know what it was, just the thing on it, but it made his eyes widen, and the thing that outlined the text with Mars on it looked very strange, but Shao Wuqing felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This thing, like metal, but not like it, like a stone, but it is not, it really makes Shao Wuqing a little helpless.
"Father!"
Staying in Shaowu Qing when he was thinking hard, a somewhat faint voice sounded, sounding a lack of energy, Shao Wuqing frowned, and turned his head to see that it was Shaowu Heng'an, since the death of his eldest son Shaowu Hengyong, Shao Wuqing's body has deteriorated, and speaking of which, it is even better than Shaowu Heng'an.
"Well, you're here, you should be in the palace in such weather!"
Shao Wuqing didn't have much reaction, he never liked this son very much, because this son was really not like him, without his decisiveness, bravery, and even a good body.
"Father, what is this?"
Shaowu Hengan was also stunned when he saw this thing that was fast out of the sky, he frowned, then lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "This thing, it's really ...... Good students are familiar... Good students are familiar with ......"
"Hmm, what did you say?"
Shao Wuqing looked at this thing carefully on the side, and did not answer Shaowu Hengan's question, in fact, he was also wondering, what the hell is this, the sky was abnormal last night, it really had to worry him, just when he was pondering, he vaguely heard his son talking about something inexplicable, he frowned, and then asked with some doubts.
"Father, this thing always feels a little familiar to me, but I can't remember it!"
Shaowu Hengan shook his head with a wry smile, thinking for a while, he never thought of anything valuable. When Shao Wuqing heard his son's words, he brushed his beard, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Take it back, everyone around you who saw it ...... Take it home with you! ”
He vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple, but there was no good way to do it now, so he could only bring it back first.
Two days later, the emperor welcomed six fast horses in a row, and the knights on the horses were all exhausted, adding a lot of sadness to this already strange midyear festival.
The six counties of Ganning turned over that night, killing and injuring countless people, countless houses collapsed, hundreds of thousands of people lived on the streets, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and the world was shocked.
On this day, dozens of officials from the Ministry of Rites jointly played a concert and asked Shao Wuqing to issue an edict for his own crimes.
On the Fengtian Palace, there was an inexplicable cold air, which looked very strange in this hot summer.
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the son of heaven ruled the world with filial piety, and the earth dragon turned over, which is a bad omen, from ancient times to the present, all those who have natural disasters are inappropriate in the emperor's governance, so the heavens descend to the disaster, warning the world, Your Majesty is ordered by the sky, the sky is a warning, Your Majesty's first thing to do, in addition to helping the victims as soon as possible, but also to save yourself from sin, and issue an edict to eliminate natural disasters, otherwise the ministers are afraid that the society will be in trouble, and heaven and man will abandon it, and look forward to Your Majesty's Mingjian."
"Ministers seconded the ......"
Ji Wenxian, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, fell to his knees tremblingly, his face was quite serious, he was over seventy years old, he had always been pedantic and stubborn, and today he kept kneeling on the ground, asking Shao Wuqing to issue an edict against himself.
"Whew...... Wow......"
Shao Wuqing's eyes were flat, his fingers slowly tapped on the dragon case, and he kept staring at the ministers kneeling on the ground, hearing their noisy voices, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, boundless killing intent shrouded in his heart, he never believed in any heaven, let alone any ghosts and gods, when he rebelled, he didn't see any gods who could bless the Chu people of this whole palace, he killed enough people, died under his knife, there were friends from the past, there were his masters back then, and his countless ministers, just more than half a year ago, There are countless officials whose heads have landed, and the people he has killed are really enough, he doesn't want to continue to kill like this, because the courtiers in the world can't be killed, not to mention, Daxia still needs these people.
Everyone was still discussing in a low voice, and gradually, they suddenly felt a chill inexplicably, at this time they raised their heads slightly and looked at Shao Wuqing slightly, and at this time they realized that it turned out that Shao Wuqing had been silent for a long time!
Seeing that Shao Wuqing did not react, the other officials all quieted down, only Ji Wenxian was still chattering, seeing that Shao Wuqing was becoming more and more impatient, some officials gently pulled his sleeve, but he still stubbornly straightened his neck, and then knelt down with a plop, and said: "Your Majesty, the Great Xia Jiangshan Sheji is the foundation, only begging Your Majesty to help the people of Li at the same time, but also issued an edict to sin himself, and accept the words of the world's scholars, otherwise if you provoke the wrath of the heavens, natural disasters will occur frequently, and the society will be in danger!" ”
Shao Wuqing squinted his eyes, then stopped tapping his fingers, cleared his throat, and then said slowly: "Are you afraid of provoking the wrath of the heavens, aren't you afraid of provoking the wrath of me?" ”
Ji Wenxian touched the ground with his head and cried: "Since ancient times, Wenchen died and the military generals fought to the death, Fang is the way of the minister, and it is not a pity for the minister to die, but to beg His Majesty to admonish the minister, first soothe the anger of the sky, and then appease the people, and the death of the minister is also blind!" ”
At this time, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites on the side saw his boss kneeling, and he also knelt down with a plop, and said: "The minister seconded what Lord Ji said, Sage Yun: The virtue of ghosts and gods is magnificent!" See it and see it, listen to it and hear it, and leave it behind. "Poetry" also says: God's thinking, unthinkable, can shoot thought! Your Majesty, first worship God and then calm the people, this is the right way, if Your Majesty only gives the people and vainly the will of God, the ministers are afraid that the heavens will abandon it, Your Majesty will see it! ”
He really wants to kill the disobedient ministers in this palace, and then change to a new batch of courtiers, since Shaowu Hengyong died, his body has become weaker and weaker, day by day, even if he loves to kill, but he doesn't know how to start.
The emperor kills at least a reasonable reason, even if it is an excuse, but now the three people kneeling on the ground are all on the grounds of the society, asking the emperor to respect the heavens, the earth, the ghosts and gods, no matter how you say it, it is right, Wenchen is directly admonished by death, if the emperor really kills the Wenchen who is directly admonished, future generations will scold him for being a mediocre king.
That's it, Shaowu Qing doesn't care what future generations say about him, the most important thing is that these people in front of him are the ministers of the humerus he left to Shaowu Heng'an, if they are all killed, who will assist Shaowu Heng'an in the future?
"I have my own plans for this matter, Yan Shicheng, on the same day, allocated grain and grass, and escorted it to the six counties of Ganning in the northwest, and the six counties will be exempted from taxes this year."
After thinking for a while, Shao Wuqing finally calmed down, he tapped his fingers again, looked at Yan Shicheng, the head of the household, and then looked at Yan Gongdao, Yan Gongdao lowered his eyelids, respectfully, and didn't say a word.
Finally, Shao Wuqing spoke again: "Yan is fair, order the Longzhou County Guard and Xizhou County Guard to strictly guard against the Northwest Barbarian Cavalry, don't let the alien race take advantage of the situation to invade!" ”
Yan Gongdao held the wat board in his hand, bowed his body slightly, said yes respectfully, and then closed his mouth again, Shao Wuqing saw Yan Gongdao like this, and smiled slightly, this smile was meaningful and complicated.
"The Emperor's ......"
At this moment, Ji Wenxian spoke again, Shao Wuqing waved his sleeves, and suddenly had a headache, Xiao Huangmen's eyes were sharp, he just raised his voice and shouted to retreat, and then helped Shao Wuqing out of Fengtian Palace.
Ji Wenxian sighed in mourning, knelt tremblingly for a long time, and couldn't even stand up at this time, smiled bitterly, and then was helped up by his friends on the side, and several people walked out of Chaoyang Gate with sad faces.
A round of the sun rose, in the prosperity of the imperial capital, warmed every inch of land, on Shoushan, two figures seemed to be frozen there, never moved.
"General......
Han raised a few steamed buns in his hand, looked at Liu Fa, who had been pondering for a long time on the side, although he couldn't bear to disturb, he still screamed softly, after all, they hadn't eaten all day.
Liu Fa sat on a big stone, recalling the words of the old monk, everything was still like a fog, he still didn't know, what this so-called Xuanyi Mansion was, did he really want him to find the two palace maids back then, where are they now?
Li Qingyi ...... Li Qingtong ......"
He wanted to know what it had to do with him, as well as that inexplicable thing, and the "totem" around his neck!
"Well, let's go down the mountain!"
Liu Fa took the steamed bun in Han Ju's hand, chewed it slowly, and said slowly, he suddenly felt that he was a little too drilly, and there were some things, it was better to let it come naturally.
Han Ju was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, he was fed up with such a boring day, at this time, how much he missed the sword and sword shadow in the Southwest Mansion!
"Amitabha!"
The old monk "watched" Liu Fa and the two slowly descending the mountain, sighed slightly, and then walked towards the upstairs, he was going to be buried here, many times, there was no choice, many times, it was also a desperate choice.
"Driving ......"
Dijing, Qingshifang!
In the past few days, the people of the whole city have been panicking, and the people are worried about the vision of that day, and I don't know who spread it, and now the people of the whole imperial capital know that they found an inexplicable thing in the northern suburbs of Huangzhuang, and even the emperor went there in person.
"There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves!"
Outside the Taoist workshop, a person who seems to be a Taoist and a monk is not a monk sits quietly in front of a hexagram stall, watching people come and go, listening to the noise in his ears, sighing softly, full of loneliness.
Western Gengxin Jin, the landing must be a thing that involves the world, not to mention, this fall, has smashed half of the northwest, Xiahou Haoyue carefully calculated in his heart, but his heart is a fog, people count, how can it be compared to the sky!
"The lives are devastated, the mourning is everywhere, the strength of one person is limited after all, how can the people in the world avoid this military disaster?" He withdrew the hexagram stall, and finally strode away again, the world owes him too much, he might as well put this world out of the way.
"Can you see that?"
In the imperial palace, several officials of Qin Tianjian were bitterly surrounding the object brought back by Shao Wuqing, at this time they were all beads of sweat, although everyone looked at this thing carefully, they couldn't help but feel apprehensive in their hearts, they could hear Shao Wuqing's dissatisfaction and anger, they didn't know how long Shao Wuqing's anger could be suppressed, but they really didn't have any way.
Shao Wuqing brushed his beard, looking at these officials of Qin Tianjian, his heart was extremely disgusted, although he didn't believe in any ghosts, ghosts, gods, and gods, but the first time he saw this thing, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and this feeling made the things that fell from the sky in his mansion full of curiosity.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, this ...... Shu Chen and others are incompetent, we have lived for most of the year, and I have also read countless sage classics, but I have never been able to find anything that is useful, but last night I waited for the night to watch the sky, but I ...... But ......"
Just when Shao Wuqing asked, an official walked out, he frowned, although he was also a little trembling, but he still endured fear and said it, but when it came to the back, even he himself began to stutter and couldn't speak clearly.
"But what...... Say it! ”
Seeing him like this, Shao Wuqing's heart became more and more displeased, he held back his anger, pointed at the official, and asked lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have been observing the celestial phenomena night and night for more than ten days, and I found that although the Ziwei Emperor Star is a ring arch of stars, the left auxiliary and the right bi have help. Ziwei Emperor Star is not bad at the four kills, but three days ago, a demon star suddenly appeared next to the emperor's throne, the light is very ordinary, and even has the character of suppressing the light of the emperor star...... There seems to be a ...... There seems to be a ...... Unfavorable to His Majesty! ”
After saying that, the minister immediately fell to his knees, and although it was a hot June day, his lips were constantly trembling, and God knew if he would be completely destroyed by saying this sentence.
"Bold, do you dare to curse Your Majesty?" Hearing this official's words, Xiao Huangmen next to Shao Wuqing immediately changed his face, and shouted urgently: "The four killings and Zhao Nai said that the king of the Daoless, you actually use this to describe the saint, it is really punishable." ”
The official hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the four killings are not just about the king of the unreasonable, the day before the siege of the High Wolf Mountain, it was also the same as the four killings, so I definitely don't mean to slander the saint." ”
Shao Wuqing's face was blue, and he said coldly: "You go on." ”
"Thank you."
The minister breathed a long sigh of relief and continued: "The ancients had a cloud, the husband's illness has become a cure and then the medicine, and the chaos has become and then the cure, such as thirst and piercing the well, fighting and casting a cone, it is not too late. This is what to say, it is best to treat it before it sprouts, and if it is late, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble......"
"And what do you mean?" Shao Wuqing frowned and asked. "If it is according to my opinion," he took a long breath and said, "For the sake of the Great Xia River, please go up the mountain to worship the heavens, and make an edict for yourself!" ”
When Shao Wuqing heard his words, his face immediately changed, and as he spoke, the dragon pendant on his waist had already broken to the ground, and the scum of the dragon pendant was spilled on the ground, and there were even a lot of them, which fell on the face of the official who spoke.
The official gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, just kept kowtowing, and the rest of the Qin Tianjian officials also knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The emperor is angry!" ”
Shao Wuqing looked at the official, with awe-inspiring murderous intent, but in the end, he endured it again, and said coldly after a while: "Come on, drive me out of the palace with a stick, get out!" ”
After saying that, Shao Wuqing walked away with an angry face, ignoring the kneeling ministers, and went straight to the harem, his heart was extremely angry, today he had already said it clearly in the court, I didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to say anything about his own edict.
He is over the age of heaven, but his temperament is becoming more and more tyrannical, especially the eldest son rebelled, and died in front of him, father and son killed each other, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, this kind of painful thing really made his temperament change a lot.
Twenty years ago, Dijing shed blood all night, what did he get, got a position of power that everyone coveted, he was not happy, this was not what he wanted, twenty years later, for this bloody position, he buried his own son.
In the harem, there is no imaginary warbler Yanyan, but calm as a farmer, Shao Wuqing's life is extremely self-disciplined, he is not beautiful, for him, the harem is just a place to rest, the people who should live here have been dead for many years.
"Your Majesty, but you're worried about state affairs again?"
Shao Wuqing had just rested, and suddenly a faint fragrance of flowers came from beside him, and this faint smell of blue grass slowly made his tired and resentful heart feel a lot more comfortable.
"Hmm, is it Qingyi?"
He didn't open his eyes, just stretched out his hand slightly, the man moved slowly, the years did not leave too many traces on her face, but her body was already a little plump, she was Li Qingyi, that is, she and her sister carried Liu Fa out of the imperial palace and handed it over to the old monk, that is, Wu Yilang back then.
After twenty years, she stood with the people who were the opposites of the year, and her sister also died in her hands.
"Your Majesty, take a good rest for a while, don't worry too much about state affairs, your body is important!"
Following Shao Wuqing's hand, Li Qingyi had already slipped into Shao Wuqing's arms, she was lying on Shao Wuqing's chest weakly, and her voice was as weak as water.
Shao Wuqing smiled faintly, he had already blown out the lights in the palace, and the wind suddenly rose, and a pool of spring water flowed horizontally......
The summer sky is always easy to brighten, Shao Wuqing only sleeps for three hours a day, gets up early in the morning, he always has to dance the sword in the palace, he will never covet the bed, why sleep for a long time before death, and sleep forever after death.
"Qingyi, do you believe in fate?"
In the morning mist, Shao Wuqing put away his sword, suddenly turned his head, looked at Li Qingyi, who was a little stupid, and strode over, every step looked domineering, until he approached Li Qingyi, and then smiled slightly.
