Chapter 248: Asking the Sky (Part II)

In the past, Xuansuguan was a royal courtyard, and the idle people could not see the true face of it, and when they passed by, they could only cross the tall courtyard wall and see the luxurious palace built on the mountainside in the distance.

Now enter the gate, enter the brightly lit courtyard, there is a white marble lamppost every other section of the lake, the candlelight jumps inside, reflecting the dream-like light and shadow on the lake, and the temple under the night is also more brilliant.

The people flocked to the main hall along the white marble arch bridge and the path surrounding the mirror lake.

The wide square in front of the hall is paved with neat floor tiles, surrounded by elegant potted plants, flowers blooming in flower beds, and the fragrance of sandalwood and flowers is full between breaths.

At this time, there were already hundreds of Taoist aunts meditating in front of the square in front of the palace.

The imperial guards held on to the hilt of their swords and stood still in the backlight under the dan mound, waiting for them one by one.

Under the eaves of the corridor where the palace lamp hangs, two beautiful maids in green clothes stand on the left and right, and a woman in white in the middle has her back to everyone.

The woman wore a layered white gauze skirt, her long hair pouring down like satin in the light. The night breeze caressed her hair and skirt, faintly dusty.

The people who rushed to the front had already stopped, staring blankly at the figure like a fairy.

At this time, the people were stopped from crowding.

Soon, the square in front of the hall, the arched bridge, and the roadway by the lake were filled with people. There are also many people who don't have the opportunity to get close at all, and those who climb the rockery in the distance, and those who climb the wall to look out.

Although there were many people, a strange silence had spread in the square in front of the palace.

The people did not dare to speak loudly, as if they were afraid of startling the people on the Danqi.

Qin Huaiyuan, the second master and the third master were standing on the steps leading to the square at this time, and because they couldn't see the front clearly, they had to climb the handrails on both sides and stand still holding on to the tree.

When Qin Huaiyuan saw his daughter's dress, he had a number in his heart and was a little relieved.

"Holy Maiden."

At this time, I don't know who in the crowd spilled out first.

Immediately, the people in the square knelt down in a sparse manner.

"Holy Maiden, please show us a way to live!"

Some of the people were mourning and weeping, but no one shouted loudly, and everyone turned their expectant eyes to the man in white who was victorious.

Qin Yining turned around, took a few steps forward under the service of the two maids in green clothes, and walked under the lamp.

The people in the vicinity saw her face as true, and they all looked straight at her. Ordinary people, where have they seen such a beautiful woman.

I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but I only saw her dressed in white, and she seemed to be holding a small fluffy thing in her arms, and when I looked closely, it was actually a snow-white rabbit.

There was a heavenly machine's approval first, and now that she saw that the real person was such a person, the people were even more convinced of her, and in front of the golden and splendid hall, the sense of mystery and sacredness was stronger than that of Fang Cai.

"The little woman is not talented, but a woman, she can win the trust of the emperor, and she is really fortunate to pray for the blessing of the country, and she can only do her best here all day long, and it is really an honor to see all the villagers today. I wonder what you have come here today to ask? ”

The courtyard is backed by a mountain and faces the water, and when it was built, it was considered that some ceremonies would be held, and there were also things like the emperor's speech, so it was extremely close to the sound of the building, Qin Yining did not shout hoarsely, and the people near the square could hear her words clearly.

The sense of sacredness grew even stronger.

At this time, a woman had the courage to ask, "Holy woman, do you think we can live?" ”

"The cycle of heaven and the way of heaven has its own fixed number. However, God has the virtue of a good life, and it has always left a glimmer of life for people, as long as you persevere, you will definitely see hope. ”

When the people heard this, their faces were moved, and some hope was born in their hearts.

Someone else asked, "Holy Maiden, can we defend Kyoto City?" ”

"Today's emperor is a Ming monarch, and the soldiers who defend the city are all hot-blooded sons and daughters who are dedicated to the country, as long as everyone is united, do not panic, do not mess, do not do anything that endangers the Great Yan Dynasty, and do not add additional burdens to the soldiers who defend the city, I believe that as long as you do your best, even if there will be hardships and ups and downs in the process, the result will be good, and everyone will be able to live."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ordinary people finally saw smiles.

What they fear most is that the mountains and rivers will be broken, and they will lose their homes.

To put it bluntly, everyone is afraid of death.

Now that they heard their "holy daughter" say that as long as they do their best, everyone can cross this hurdle this time, and everyone's hearts finally feel at ease.

The second and third masters in the crowd were dumbfounded.

They didn't know that their niece would be a "magic stick", and they would stop such a big scene.

Qin Huaiyuan finally let go of his heart.

From the beginning, he was worried that Qin Yining would show his timidity first after seeing so many people, and the temperament of that kind of dusty immortal would naturally be discounted, and what he said would not be convincing.

In fact, Qin Yining's words are just a clichΓ©, although they are high-sounding, but in fact, there is room for reversal, and in the end, no matter whether they succeed or fail, the fault will not be attributed to her.

But the people first felt that she was a saint who could protect the country, with the power of faith, she felt a lot more sacred when she looked at her, Qin Yining also deliberately created such an environment like a fairy palace, her appearance and clothing coupled with the environment set off, in the eyes of a group of ordinary people who have never seen anything big in the world, the impact is naturally not small.

Qin Huaiyuan nodded, it seems that her daughter has already understood the key now - since she has been labeled as a "saint", she can only strengthen this identity, if she is pulled down, she will only die ugly.

"Holy Maiden." Another old man asked in a trembling voice, "It is said that the Emperor Taishang resold all the grain from the treasury and taxes. There was no food in the granary. We, the common people, don't have much food at home. But the profiteers sold the grain for ten taels of silver a catty. Holy Maiden, can you punish the profiteers and make them hand over the grain? ”

"Yes, holy woman, profiteers are too hateful!"

……

The people scolded the grain merchants, although they hated the emperor's actions in their hearts, but no one dared to scold the emperor in person.

Qin Yining is now embarrassed by this matter.

The stakes are too complicated for her to explain to the people, and if she wants to solve the food problem, she must have the cooperation of the emperor.

She smiled and said, "I already know about this." Tomorrow, I will set up an altar here to ask the heavens, and I believe that the heavens will answer. ”

The people were in an uproar.

Their holy woman wants to ask the heavens for their food?

Since you can ask the sky, you must have real skills!

She is really a saint who can protect Da * An!

Everyone was surprised, panicked, kowtowed, and said in unison: "Thank you, Holy Maiden." ”

Seeing everyone like this, Qin Yining exhaled softly without a trace, hugged Erbai, and entered the main hall with Jiyun and Qiulu.

Some imperial guards came forward to organize the people to leave, and said loudly: "Don't crowd, everyone, go slowly!" ”

Qin Huaiyuan stood in the corner with the second and third masters, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw tens of thousands of ordinary people leaving obediently like a tide.

"My niece is not ordinary, she can calm the scene in front of tens of thousands of people. If it were me, I would have been confused! The second master patted his chest.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It's just to catch the ducks on the shelves, she is also a delaying strategy, second brother, third brother, let's go meet Sister Yi and discuss countermeasures." ”
