Chapter 483: Walking the Water
The sun shone all day.
But even so, because the terrain of Yunling Temple is relatively high, and the temperature is still very low, the snow does not show the slightest sign of melting, but because of the cold weather, the snow has become harder from the previous softness.
Late at night, two watches.
Qin Yishu put down the pen in his hand and rubbed the sides of his somewhat sore forehead.
Ming Hai stretched out his hand to help sort out the Buddhist scriptures that Qin Yishu had just copied, but was stopped by Qin Yishu reaching out.
"I'll do it myself." Qin Yishu cleaned up as he spoke, "This is going to be burned for my father tomorrow, since I copied it myself, don't fake the rest of the things."
"Yes." Ming Hai sighed, "The emperor is filial, and the first emperor Jiuquan must also be very pleased."
"Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also copied the Buddhist scriptures for the first emperor early and placed them in Yunling Temple for several masters to chant and pray for blessings every day." Ming Hai added.
"You'er is pure and filial by nature." Qin Yishu nodded slightly, and asked again, "What are you busy with today?"
"His Royal Highness has been closed all the time, saying that because of the cold weather, the pain in his legs is unbearable, so he can only keep warm."
Ming Hai said, "Because of this, I have sent some more charcoal and hot water to His Highness today, and I also sent a few more quilts to the past."
"The old slave also heard that because the clothes brought by His Royal Highness were not thick enough, he was worried about his bad manners when he celebrated the birthday of the first emperor tomorrow, so today he specially ordered someone to go down the mountain and go back to the mansion to get clothes."
"It's a small matter, let him go." Qin Yishu didn't care, he just put the copied Buddhist scriptures in his hand neatly page by page, and then washed and rested.
Three watches, Yunling Village.
Because of the existence of Yunling Temple, people began to settle down at the foot of the mountain, and gradually more and more people became more and more, forming a village of considerable scale.
The village exists because of Yunling Temple, so it naturally has the name of Yunling Village.
The villagers of Yunling Village rely on farming, going into the mountains to pick up mountain goods, selling incense and candles and other things for a living, especially selling incense and candles, which has become the largest source of income in Yunling Village.
At this time, there were many people in Yunling Village who were brightly lit at this time, and there was a sound of squeaking and working in the small family-style workshop.
At this time, a family is kneading the mud into incense sticks of uniform thickness, ready to dry in the shade.
The husband and wife were working hard, and the woman suddenly stopped her hand, pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside, and even looked around.
"See what?" Her husband was surprised and asked, "You have been restless since the beginning, and you have been looking east and west, what is the matter?"
"Nothing." The woman sat down again, but she couldn't stop turning her head to look around, and when she was sure that there was only darkness in the past, she began to get busy with her work, "I always feel like there is a shadow outside, maybe I am mistaken, but only the shadow of the branch."
"The snow is thick on the ground, and it is illuminated by the moon, and it is very bright outside, and it is dazzling to see the shadow of a tree branch if you can't keep it." The husband said, "And I heard that the emperor took the princes and ministers to pray for the birthday of the first emperor in Yunling Temple, this emperor is in the temple, and the guards or something will definitely patrol around, even if there is a shadow, it is a common thing."
"That's right." The woman nodded, "Of course, the emperor's safety is very important......
After a while, the woman blinked and looked at her husband, "Master, you said that this Yunling Temple is not as well guarded as the palace no matter how well guarded, will someone assassinate the emperor at this time?"
"What do you want?" The husband gave the woman a blank look, "You eat dry rice as a guard?"
"It's also ......" The woman shook her head, "Even if there is, it has nothing to do with us, taking advantage of the fact that outsiders can't enter and leave Yunling Temple these days, let's make more incense, and sell it when we enter the wax moon, we will definitely be able to sell it at a good price."
"Hmm!" The husband responded excitedly and continued to work.
The two of them continued to be busy, but they didn't notice that some bright light gradually appeared not far away, and that light appeared
It gets brighter and brighter, and even connects from the dots to the lines, and then from the lines to the sheets......
"Your Majesty!"
There was a sudden sound in his ears, Qin Yishu sat up "Teng", and when he looked at the Ming Hai in front of him, his expression was relaxed, "What's wrong?"
"The old slave is dead." Ming Hai was full of worry and guilt, "The emperor is sleeping peacefully, the old slave shouldn't be disturbed, it's just that Commander Zou has something important to see at this time......
"Commander Zou?" Qin Yishu put on a coat, "At this time, what is there to see me?"
"It is said that Yunling Village under the mountain is on fire at this time, as if there is a water incident, the night wind is strong, and the farmer's winter yard will prepare wheat straw stacks and firewood piles, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, the villagers are unable to extinguish the fire, so they come to the temple for help, hoping to extinguish the fire as soon as possible to avoid casualties."
Ming Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "When Commander Zou saw this, he came to ask to see the emperor and ask the emperor to show him."
When Qin Yishu heard this, he hurriedly pulled his shoes outside and looked down the mountain.
Sure enough, I saw a fire under the mountain, and the fire was very strong.
Qin Yishu furrowed his eyebrows, "Spread my will, Zou Yunqi, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, led the Royal Forest Army to the bottom of the mountain to help the villagers extinguish the fire, and the fire must be completely extinguished."
"Everything in the temple is stable now, and it is important to put out the fire, so let Zou Yunqi bring half of the Imperial Forest Army to go, remember, you must extinguish all the fires and settle all the people, otherwise, you are not allowed to come back!"
"Your Majesty, although the fire under the mountain is dangerous, it also uses less than half of the Imperial Forest Army, and Commander Zou only needs to bring two teams of men and horses." Ming Hai proposed.
"Half of what I say, half of it." Seeing that Ming Hai wanted to speak again, Qin Peiyou raised his hand and said, "I know that you are worried about my safety, but everything is fine on the mountain, and there are Yan Xiu and Dingguo Gong and others, so it will be fine."
"The duty of the Imperial Forest Army is to protect my safety, I am the Son of Heaven, and I shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people of the world, in other words, the duty of the Royal Forest Army is to protect the people of the world.
Seeing that the emperor said this, Ming Hai no longer insisted, "Yes, the old slave will go and pass the decree."
At this time, Zou Yunqi was waiting anxiously outside, and when Ming Hai came out, he hurriedly stepped forward, "How is the holy will?"
"The emperor loves the people like a son, and specially instructed the old slave to pass on an oracle to Commander Zou, and let Commander Zou take half of the Imperial Forest Army to the bottom of the mountain to help the villagers extinguish the fire and resettle the villagers."
"And the emperor means that Commander Zou must do this matter completely, otherwise he will not be allowed to come back to restore his life."
"Yes, to be of the holy will!" Zou Yunqi knelt on the ground and saluted, then quickly left the Zen courtyard, went outside to count all the royal forest troops, and took half of them to the bottom of the mountain.
