286 Shame
Emperor Zhaofeng said again and again: "My will has been decided, and the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven must be canceled - the national teacher may wish to return to Wensi Academy to take a closer look at the astrolabe, and I estimate that there must be a change in the will of heaven." β
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was providence in the dark to guide him to correct his mistakes.
The matter has come to this, and Jixiao can't persuade more.
If you talk too much, you will seem to have other selfish intentions, and you may lose your way back.
He never said anything useless.
It's better to find another way to change the emperor's mind.
Jixiao pondered for a moment, folded his hands, and recited the Buddha: "Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, since this dream must have a cause." It's just that the stakes are high, and after the poor monk tries to re-deduce it, he will give the result to His Majesty - and it will not be too late for His Majesty to make a decision. β
Emperor Zhaofeng nodded: "There is a national teacher." β
He knew that such an unspeakable heavenly opportunity, repeatedly deducing and snooping, was extremely detrimental to his cultivation.
"Sharing worries between His Majesty and the people of Dajing is within the responsibility of poor monks."
Jixiao's tone was compassionate.
"The poor monk retired."
"Liu Fu, send the national teacher."
Emperor Zhaofeng sat back in his chair a little tired.
"Your Majesty, Master Cheng has been waiting outside the palace for nearly a whole day, saying that he has something important to see His Majesty." After Liu Fu turned back, he reminded softly.
Emperor Zhaofeng sighed weakly.
"Let him in."
He really was diligent in state affairs in the past two days, and even the great cause of seeking immortals was wasted.
He had already said that being the emperor was really delaying.
Cheng Ran walked into the hall and saluted.
Emperor Zhaofeng raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"Cheng Aiqing, what's the matter?"
"Back to the emperor, it's about sacrificing to the sky and asking for rain."
Emperor Zhaofeng pressed his temples.
Why is this the case?
Could it be that Cheng Aiqing is also dreaming?
"Your Majesty doesn't know, because the altar of Dayongchang Temple suddenly caught fire last night, which caused the people to talk about it, and they all said that it was a warning from heaven...... During the day, many people beat drums to express their feelings, hoping to ask His Majesty to rethink the matter of sacrificing to the sky. β
Cheng Ran deliberately did not mention the identities of those drumming people, and their words of intercession for their children.
is only said to be ordinary people, but it seems to be the desire of the people.
Ahem, they're just ordinary people anyway, and he's not lying when he says it.
Emperor Zhaofeng nodded.
"I'm considering canceling the worship of the heavens."
These words were too sudden, but Cheng Ran was stunned when he heard it.
He had prepared a lot of words.
There are also those colleagues who didn't wait outside the palace, and they also have something for him to convey to the emperor before leaving.
Before he could say anything, the emperor actually relented......
Cheng Ran reacted and hurriedly said: "The emperor is wise." β
"Don't button my hat, I haven't decided yet...... Emperor Zhaofeng sighed: "Sacrifice the heavens with living people, you are all against it...... But if the sacrifice to heaven is canceled and the rain is not seen for a long time, there are still people who want to poke my backbone, saying that I am immoral, is it easy for me? What's the picture? β
Seeing that the emperor was wronged, Cheng Ran hurriedly said: "If the emperor decrees to cancel the sacrifice of living people, he will be praised by the people." Whether it rains or not, it is up to you. β
"Compliment? I'm afraid there are only a few people who keep the child. The rest of the people may not know how to scold me for being capricious and misleading a major matter. Emperor Zhaofeng's words seemed to see through everything.
Cheng Ran was stunned.
The emperor is quite sober at this time......
"That's it, I'm not a Ming Jun anyway, just let them scold me, and it won't reach my ears in the end." Emperor Zhaofeng got up and walked towards the lotus platform where he was meditating, with a detached tone: "Ordinary things, ordinary people are just ordinary people...... I'm pure. β
As he spoke, the man sat cross-legged on the lotus platform.
ββ¦β¦β
Cheng Ran silently retreated.
After he left the palace, he got into the carriage, and when he returned to the palace, it was past the ugly hour.
At this time, Ningfu was silent, and everyone was still asleep.
It wasn't until she got up early in the morning that Mrs. Ning learned from her subordinates that her husband had not returned all night.
Mrs. Ning didn't care.
In the end, the husband's virtue and face are here, even if there is an iron order prohibiting prostitution by Dajing officials, he can always do things that do not return at night for three days and two ends.
Who let the family have a sister who is extremely favored?
Over the years, Mrs. Ning has long been accustomed to it.
But this day is destined to be unusual.
An hour later, Mrs. Ning had just finished breakfast and was about to go to see Yan Zhen, who was still bedridden, when she suddenly heard a news.
The maid almost rushed back from outside the courtyard, obviously anxious, but when she started to speak, her face was red and white.
"Sir, he'...... In the Great Yongchang Temple, with ...... ...... with five or six men Somehow, it was seen. β
"Speak clearly!" Mrs. Ning felt that she vaguely understood, but she couldn't believe it.
"The lord and many men spent the night in the front hall of the Great Yongchang Temple...... Naked, he was looked at by many people, and now it has spread outside! The maid said it in one breath.
"What?"
Actually, what she thought?
Is this man crazy!
Ordinary men and women can't satisfy him anymore?
Looking for a man, I also found a group, I found a group, and I went to Dayongchang Temple to embarrass people!
She knew that this man who was interested in exciting, fresh, and almost perverted would sooner or later make a big deal!
Not right-
"Who got the news? Where did those monks get the courage to preach to the outside world? "Mrs. Ning was on the verge of collapse, but she still barely had a trace of reason.
"It wasn't from the monks...... It was a group of pilgrims who went to deliver hand-copied scriptures. β
The opening of the day is imminent, the Great Yongchang Temple previously released the news that a large number of hand-copied scriptures are needed, and many people and even official eunuchs and dependents, or to pray for blessings and accumulate virtue or to make face, have presented the scriptures copied by hand.
These two days are the time of the crowds.
"It is said that the lord and they were lying behind the Buddha platform, and they were so tired that they fell asleep, and they were surrounded and pointed out for a long time...... Several official wives recognized the old man at a glance......"
Mrs. Ning interrupted the maid's words in a heavy voice: "Enough! β
What does it mean to be so tired that you fall asleep...... Talk as you talk, describe so much to do!
She even has a picture in front of her eyes!
"My lord is now a man!" Mrs. Ning asked in a trembling voice.
"Should be ...... on the way back"
Mrs. Ning sat back angrily and couldn't help but sneer.
Hehe, there is still a face back?
Something so embarrassing happened, why don't you just hit your head and die!
At this time, another maid came to report with a nervous look.
"Madame, no! The fourth wife has fetal gas, abdominal pain does not stop, I am afraid that she is going to give birth! β
Mrs. Ning's expression changed drastically.
She was originally Ningtong's house-filler, the eldest and second in the house and Yanzhen were all born by Ningtong's original match, the third was a concubine, and her own son was only the fourth - now I heard that the fourth wife Xu's first child was born prematurely, and she was very nervous.
"I told her to pay more attention to it, maybe I didn't have ears! It's really unlucky...... There is no one in this house that makes people worry! β
Mrs. Ning got up while scolding, and arranged matters with her mother-in-law.
At the same time, on the matter of Ningtong, with the help of well-intentioned people, the direction of the people's discussion has quietly changed.
Ji Xiao listened to it in his ears and clenched his fingers slightly.
When it was released again, a string of beads had turned into powder.
Zhang Fu walked in.
"Masterβ"
"What?"
