Chapter 582: Ninety Cheng Palace

The founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Gaozu and Taizong two emperors originally lived in Taiji Palace, after the completion of Daming Palace, Taiji Palace is called "West Interior", because Daming Palace is located in the northeast direction of Taiji Palace, it is called "East Interior", the West City is different from "East Inner Misfortune", naturally refers to the Bad Luck of Daming Palace, this year for dozens of days of hot weather is really rare, the people are also worried about the disaster of the great drought, so this vision appeared, and suddenly caused people in the market to be worried.

Of course, Eleven Niang does not believe in this so-called providential warning, in the "Golden Testament" taught by the master Ling Xutian, there are many "pretending to be ghosts" tricks, Eleven Niang still remembers that there is a secret recipe, mixed with cinnabar and several flower and plant extracts, and then added a special method to make the liquid medicine, written on the ground or paper, after drying, it can be invisible, until the fire or exposure, until it reaches a certain temperature, it will reappear handwriting.

The so-called "divine revelation" that appeared in the West Market should be the use of this kind of trick.

Although this type of method is not widely known, many practitioners are also well aware of it, and it is very suitable for use to deceive people.

He Qi wanted to mutiny and seize the throne, but he couldn't break through the palace garrison with Zhou Chang alone, and obviously couldn't do it in Chang'an City, so he could only transfer the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven out of Kyoto.

And He Qi chose the location of the "divine revelation" in Xishi, of course, to use public opinion and public opinion to force Empress Dowager Wei to compromise and obey the will of heaven.

If the Son of Heaven leaves Beijing, he will transfer the Shenwu Army to escort him, and Zhou Chang, as the commander of the Shenwu Army, will have an opportunity.

It's just that this kind of trick can't be hidden from the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother wants to eradicate He Qi, and this time she will definitely do it.

Sure enough, after the Queen Mother got this important event, she immediately ordered the officials of the Tiantai Department to observe the difference in the appearance of the wind and clouds, and none of these "heavenly officials" dared to guarantee whether there would be a major drought, how could they dare to advocate "against the sky"? They have been admonished to follow the will of heaven to warn, and leave the palace to escape the heat until the sky rains nectar and the heat is slowed down.

It's just that according to the will of heaven, if you want to avoid disasters, it is not enough to just leave Beijing to avoid misfortune, and you have to hold a ceremony to worship the sky, and although there are many palaces near Chang'an, it is suitable for worshipping the sky, when pushing is located in Qizhou, located in the Jiucheng Palace of Tiantai Mountain.

He Qi carefully chose this place as the place of the coup, and it was indeed considered to be carefully considered, because Jiucheng Palace is not like many palaces close to Chang'an, and it is more than 400 miles away from the capital.

It's just that the matter of leaving Beijing is a resolution, of course, it is impossible to leave as soon as she says, the queen mother leaves Beijing, but the government affairs cannot be delayed, so the civil and military ministers need to accompany them, and you can imagine how to work and mobilize the public.

In this way, Mr. Xie Ying complained and discussed with Shi Niang on this day: "This summer is very hot, and the drought is really natural, even if you leave Beijing to worship the sky, can you really avoid the disaster?" The foolish people are ignorant, but they didn't expect the officials of Si Tiantai to be superstitious about this set of rhetoric, the weather is so hot, and they have to travel a long distance, which is really miserable. ”

keeps complaining about the ignorance of his subjects, isn't it secretly slandering the queen mother that she is also an ignorant person? But of course Eleven Niang will not reprimand Xie Ying, but only reminded with a straight color: "Providence is revealed, but you can't question it because of a moment of hard work, a few years ago, there was an auspicious omen from heaven, indicating that there is a Holy Mother Xingzhou, shouldn't it be the virtue of the Queen Mother?" The sixth sister should be cautious in her words, if she falls into the ears of the villain, she is afraid that she will instigate right and wrong. ”

Xie Ying was extremely shameless in her heart: the stupid ancients really believed in the so-called providence of God, what kind of auspicious omen fell from heaven, it was just a means for the Queen Mother to flaunt herself.

With a smile on his face, he was very grateful for Eleven Niang's reminder: "It's me who is careless, but Eleventh Sister is by no means a villain, so I will be unscrupulous in front of Eleventh Sister." ”

Eleven Niang comforted again: "Although the road will suffer some hardship, once you arrive at the Jiucheng Palace, the sixth sister does not need to worry about the scorching heat, this Jiucheng Palace was originally a summer retreat, even if the hot summer season is golden, there is no steam and steam, the breeze is swaying, there is a bleak coolness, it is really a good place for the body, a holy place for raising gods, when Emperor Dezong, every summer season will go to the Jiucheng Palace to avoid the summer, but later the Queen Mother was worried about the financial tension, in order to avoid the Xing Shi moved the public, Fang Shaoyou was fortunate to leave the palace garden. ”

In fact, don't say that a few emperors who are indulged in pleasure, such as Taizong and Wuzong, also have a trip to leave the palace in the hot summer season, which time is not to rejuvenate the teacher, but the queen mother in order to establish the name of virtue, these years have gritted her teeth and endured the pain of the cold and summer, and refused to leave the mouth of the hedonistic waste Zhou Zhang.

It's just that even so, the official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still decaying day by day, and the lives of the common people are becoming more and more difficult.

Although Xie Ying firmly believes in "science" and ridicules "superstition", she never realized that the so-called miracle will be the beginning of a conspiracy.

Eleven Niang believes that the road to Jiucheng Palace will be calm - although Zhou Chang has surrendered to He Qi, and he is the main defense of the Shenwu Army, but after all, he has not been appointed for a long time, and it is impossible for all the guards of the Shenwu Army to obey his words, and openly attack the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother on the way. At most, Zhou Chang could only accept a few captains and brigade commanders, and perhaps there were also tenants instructed by Dou Fu'an.

Although the power of the commander can mobilize the leading troops, if he directly orders the killing of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be a blatant rebellion? No matter how much they obeyed the military order, it was impossible for the guards to obey the order, and if Zhou Chang chose to do it on the way, he would undoubtedly kill himself.

So of course, there will be calm along the way, and even for a long time after arriving at Jiucheng Palace, there was no turmoil.

Jiucheng Palace is both a summer palace and a palace, of course, it is located in the place of beautiful mountains and rivers, with Tiantai Mountain as the center, imitate the pattern of the palace city to build, the main gate is called Yongguang Gate, the main building is called the Great Dynasty Palace, there is Danxia Hall in the west, the central government office is distributed in the east, and naturally there is a forbidden garden, surrounded by a wall, and it is strictly prevented from breaking into the ban.

As for the civil and military officials who followed the holy car here, most of them were not allowed to live in the palace, so many houses were built outside the palace, which were temporarily assigned to the accompanying officials to live, and there were also many female dependents accompanying them.

The Son of Heaven is still in his infancy, and when he arrives in this refreshing and pleasant place, because of the connivance of the Queen Mother, he is simply carried away, and this time there are also many idle children in the clan, who have nothing to do to have fun with the Son of Heaven, even He Tao is often invited to accompany the Xianheng Palace.

Although Xiao Wei was wary of He Tao, he also relaxed his vigilance when he thought that the Son of Heaven was heavily guarded and He Tao could not damage the Son of Heaven in the slightest.

The king of Yichuan County wanted the two sons-in-law to get along harmoniously, and since He Tao had the opportunity to get close to the Son of Heaven, he naturally would not intervene and obstruct it.

January passed quietly, until this day, an urgent news arrived in Kyoto, and after 60 consecutive days of scorching heat, Chang'an finally fell heavy rain.

All of a sudden, there was laughter inside and outside the palace.

In fact, this year has been sunny and rainless for a long time, which has caused drought in many prefectures and counties near Chang'an, but since Emperor Mingzong reopened the Cao Canal and opened up Guangyun Pond, it has greatly facilitated water transportation, and it is no longer a problem to mobilize grain from all over the country, so only the drought in Gyeonggi Prefecture is not enough to be called a disaster.

However, although it rained in Chang'an, it did not cool down, and the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven still decided to live in Jiucheng Palace temporarily.

This stay will be in the beginning of autumn in July, and the Son of Heaven doesn't know that he listened to the instigation of the gentleman, and he was clamoring to hold an autumn hunt.

Of course, the Queen Mother would not condone the Son of Heaven to mess around, and He Er was disappointed.

But there is Gao Yuxiang rushed to offer courtesy, pleading for the little emperor: "The saint is only afraid that he has never participated in the hunt, curious, even if the queen mother is not at ease, but also needs to be sympathetic to the saint's mood, it is better to let the children of the clan accompany the saint to hunt, the location is limited to the Tiantai Mountain Forbidden Garden, and there are no fierce beasts in the forbidden garden, don't worry about accidents, if the queen mother is not at ease, you can let the king of Yichuan take care of it, and never let the saint have any mistakes. ”

The Queen Mother thought about it carefully, if she only let the Son of Heaven hunt and play in the Forbidden Garden, and there was Yichuan by her side, she really didn't have to worry too much, so she agreed to the Son of Heaven's invitation.

As soon as Eleven Niang heard that the Son of Heaven was going to hold an "autumn hunt", she was full of enthusiasm, it seems that the king of Ruyang has been preparing for a long time and is finally going to act!
