Chapter 44: Land and Water Puja
In the following days, officials headed by the Ministry of Industry and Rites also set the corresponding regulations...
The Imperial Court recruited craftsmen from all over the country, announced the construction of the Sendai Dharma Field, and prepared to hold the 'Water and Land Festival'...
At this time, Xu Boqing happened to be in the prison, and he had just absorbed the internal force of several prisoners.
He seemed to notice something, and he shivered faintly, and then he used the 'Heavenly Eye Eye' to look up...
Through the dungeon.
He saw that the purple gold qi that lingered in the sky above the capital was burning like a blazing fire, as if it was soaring, as if it was trembling, as if it contained some kind of strange change.
Even the old dragon transformed by the purple gold qi is constantly churning and changing, as if it has reached the critical value of some kind of change!
After more than half a year of exploration, he is no longer a newcomer who didn't understand anything when he first came, and he relied on guessing everything, so he can naturally see what such a change represents.
The capital is the capital of the Great Liang and the location of the imperial city.
The purple gold qi that lingers in the sky above the capital represents the national fortune of Daliang!
The 'dragon' that has been transformed into has no substance, it is more similar to the nature of a totem, and you can intuitively observe what stage the national fortune is in!
Originally, the national fortune over the capital turned into an old dragon, which represents that the national fortune of Daliang has been 'old' and in its twilight years.
Now, this illusory national fortune has changed, burning like a blazing fire, doesn't it prove that the national fortune of Daliang has reached a turning point that can change the future direction of the dynasty?
The image of the old dragon is constantly churning and changing, and it is elusive, does it mean that this 'turning point' is unpredictable?
It is possible to take advantage of this to prosper, from an 'old dragon' to a 'young dragon', and continue the national glory for another three to five hundred years;
It is also possible to cook oil with a blazing fire, burn out the last essence of the beam, and since then it has plummeted, the mountains and rivers have been broken, and the dynasty has changed!
So what exactly does this mean to change the 'turning point' of Liang's national fortunes?
Is it someone?
Or is it something?
Xu Boqing thought about it with a slight condensation, and after thinking of something to do, he was ready to go out and ask Hu Prison Secretary to see if something big had happened in the Great Liang Imperial Court.
When he went out, his footsteps paused slightly, as if he thought of something, his cuffs shook slightly, and his fierce and vigorous energy came out of his body, and the few prisoners in the torture room who had been sucked away were directly knocked unconscious.
The internal strength of his cultivation is very consistent with himself, and his progress is already fast, plus the "Star Sucking Demon Skill" can quickly accumulate internal strength, and he has the characteristics of the pure yang body's 'body like a furnace' to avoid side effects, plus the prisoners in the heavenly prison are all martial arts masters escorted from all over the Great Liang.
Under the convergence of the four directions, he broke through to the innate realm with his strong internal strength as early as three months ago!!
The so-called 'heaven and earth are all working together' is nothing more than this.
Now the internal force in his body is like a bridge, connecting from the limbs to the furnace, endless, endless, even he himself can't tell what level of his current martial arts cultivation has reached...
After all, there is no innate record in the book.
Hu Prison Si had to be informed by his jailers, and he also knew that Gonggong Xu's "Dafa of Transformation Gong" had been practiced again, so he hurriedly went out to greet him: "I wish my father-in-law great achievements..."
"It's all old acquaintances, why bother with these false courtesies?"
"Acquaintance is acquaintance, etiquette cannot be abolished."
Xu Boqing shook his head, and after smelling the aroma of wine in the prison office, he unceremoniously went in and sat at the table, poured a glass of wine and took a sip, and then frowned and muttered: "This spring breeze drunk year is not right." ”
"My father-in-law doesn't know."
Hu Prison Division hurriedly came over to accompany him, and explained with a wry smile: "It's not that he deliberately fools his father-in-law, but the day before yesterday, Zhang Xiang held a banquet, and the aging of this Haixiang Building for more than 20 years has been rounded, and there is no way but to send it to the year that is insufficient." ”
"Zhang Xiang has a banquet?"
Xu Boqing's heart moved slightly, thinking of the Liang Guoyun he had seen before, and asked, "Does Prison Secretary Hu know why Zhang Xiang set up a banquet?" ”
"It is said that it is a banquet set up by the eldest son of Zhang Xiang's family to marry his wife."
Hu Prison Division glanced at the door, and then leaned over and said softly: "Actually, it was because Zhang Xiang's political opponent Gu Ping was annoyed by His Majesty and was dismissed and imprisoned, and he was still in our prison, Zhang Xiang took this opportunity to hold a banquet to celebrate." ”
"Gu is annoyed by Your Majesty?"
Xu Boqing frowned slightly and grasped the key word.
In the palace for half a year, although he didn't know many people, he read a lot of books, and he also knew that the so-called Gu Xiang was the old man he met when he was telling fortunes in Hongyang County before.
After he was reinstated, he became the left minister, and it can be said that he is the small group of people who stand at the top of the power of the big beam, but now he is dismissed and imprisoned again, is he the 'turning point' of the national fortune?
When the dynasty annoyed Your Majesty, no, when the dynasty!?
Xu Boqing's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Your Majesty has gone to court?" ”
Hu Prison Si replied in surprise: "Father-in-law doesn't know about this? ”
"I've lived in the harem for a long time, how do I know?"
"It's true..."
The Dog Emperor has cultivated the Demon Sect over the years, and the number of times he has been to the dynasty is only a handful, and Gu Xiang has been dismissed three times, and now he has been reinstated for half a year.
Xu Boqing frowned and asked, "Does Prison Secretary Hu know what was discussed at the court meeting?" Why did Gu Xiang annoy His Majesty that he was directly dismissed and imprisoned? ”
"It's no secret anymore."
Hu Prison Si took a sip of wine from his wine glass and explained: "Your Majesty's request for immortals is well known in the country, and a few days ago, the court proposed to build a fairy platform in the capital, build a dharma field, and hold a water or something festival in the court. ”
"Water or something?"
Xu Boqing's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Water and land puja? ”
"Yes, yes, it's the Land and Water Puja."
Hu Prison Si was speechless: "It is said that this 'water and land festival' can recruit talents, drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and His Majesty also proposes to invite talented people from all over the world to enter Beijing, elect true immortals and true Buddhas to canonize the position of national teacher, enjoy the blessing of a country's luck, and be worshiped by the royal family."
Some old ministers are unwilling to work the people and waste money, so they naturally oppose it vigorously;
And Zhang Xiang was in favor of this matter, and the two sides disputed.
Later, His Majesty directly ordered that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites should not use the money from the national treasury and not increase taxes, so that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites would transfer the funds and labor for the repair of the Emperor's Mausoleum to build Sendai and build a Dharma field, and hold a Dharma meeting three years later to participate in the grand event. ”
“……”
Xu Boqing was dumbfounded when he heard it, and finally found the 'turning point' of the change in the country's fortunes!!
Generally, when the emperor ascended the throne, he would send people to select feng shui treasures for the construction of his own imperial tombs, and once repaired, it may be decades.
It is understandable that he was the king of a country during his lifetime and pursued glory and wealth after his death.
One of the more important reasons is that the people of the time firmly believe that their mausoleum will directly affect the luck of future generations, and the emperor's mausoleum, as the emperor's mausoleum, is the foundation of stabilizing a country's luck!!
And now Emperor Yonghe, in order to build Sendai and build a dharma field, held a water and land festival, stopped the imperial mausoleum he was still building, and also canonized the 'national teacher' to enjoy the luck of a country and be worshiped by the royal family......
What is this damn not a 'turning point'!?
Xu Boqing sighed from between his teeth, and asked inexplicably, "Isn't there anyone who opposes this?" ”
"Yes!!"
Prison Si Hu nodded, pointed in the direction of the prison, and said: "Gu is the loudest on the contrary, and even with the intention of death, he just hit the pillar and didn't die, his face was covered with blood, and he was dismissed from his post and locked up in the prison while he was still in a coma. ”
