Chapter 33: The Struggle for the Nation's Capital (4) The Spirit of the Lord

The auspicious day of the zodiac will soon come.

On this day, the street was particularly empty, the street leading from the imperial city to the Jingping Temple was completely cleared, the street was cleaned, the water was splashed, and then the loess paved the road, and then the red carpet was laid on it, which was considered to have completed the etiquette of the emperor's travel.

On both sides of the street, there were heavily armed soldiers of the Son of Heaven.

The luxurious sedan chair was carried by dozens of people, and it walked out of the palace boudoir and came all the way to the outside of the temple unimpeded.

A high platform has been built outside the temple, and Yan Ling's statue was invited out and placed on the top of the high platform, this time it was not so hasty as Jiajing, of course, it had to be fully prepared, with the highest standard of etiquette.

The surrounding area of the high platform is also guarded by pro-army, and behind the pro-army, there are many people.

Wanli's trip, in addition to the purpose of praying for rain, also has the meaning of showing a holy face and stabilizing the heart of the world, and naturally it is not possible to expel the people, but of course the necessary inspections have been carried out, and relevant cards are set up on the streets to ensure that they are not allowed to enter without any weapons, and it is safe.

The royal procession slowly stopped.

Several teenagers stepped off their sedan chairs in turn - it was Wanli's eldest son Zhu Changluo, third son Zhu Changxun, fifth son Zhu Changhao, sixth son Zhu Changrun, and seventh son Zhu Changying.

The younger generation of the old Zhu family is basically here.

However, everyone's eyes are mainly focused on the two princes standing at the front - it is Zhu Changluo, the king of Rong, and Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu.

After all, except for Zhu Changxun, who was born to Concubine Zheng, who was able to compete with his eldest son Zhu Changluo, the rest of the heirs were neither "long" nor "love", so naturally there was no possibility of ascending to the treasure at all, so they were gorgeously ignored.

Seeing them, there was a commotion among the crowd.

"Is that His Royal Highness King Rong? What a masterpiece! ”

"Although His Royal Highness King Fu is still a teenager, he is also magnificent! Why would some people say that he has a big belly and a vulture? Isn't that handsome? ”

Gu Boyang also heard these words, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

King Rong is not fake, after all, his mother can be regarded by Wanli, and her appearance is definitely not bad, and Wanli himself has been genetically improved from generation to generation, and he is also handsome, so Zhu Changluo's appearance is still very good, and it really meets his description.

But Fu Wang Zhu Changxun is a bit nonsense, Zheng Guifei is known for her "charming"! His son is also very handsome, how can he have anything to do with the "Yin Vulture"?

Gu Boyang suddenly felt countless questioning eyes cast at him.

His face was a little unbearable, so he could only forcibly divert his attention and said loudly:

"His Royal Highness King Rong is really a masterpiece! It looks like a wise man! ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads as they looked at him.

Just looking at his appearance, Zhu Changluo is indeed not bad, he is right.

The appearance of the two highnesses made the scene chaotic, and it had the posture of the star concert in later generations.

But with the appearance of a yellow-robed figure, as if pressing the pause button, the whole world suddenly fell silent.

Wanli is coming.

I saw Wanli slowly stepping off the sedan chair, wearing a dragon robe and a few strands of beard, he was extremely majestic, and the moment he appeared, the audience was silent.

That's the Emperor!

The courtiers were the first to kneel down and salute, and then everyone fell to the ground with a prostration, shouting long live.

A faint smile appeared on the emperor's face, and he waved his sleeves:

"Flat!"

The guards on both sides passed down his words, and the voice of gratitude also resounded through the Jingshi.

Wanli took a deep breath, and a lot of pride suddenly rose in his heart.

This is my country, my people!

I am the lord of the world, and no one can stop me from doing what I want to do!

He walked towards the high platform, followed by the princes, followed by Yan Chenxin and Shen Shixing, leading the ministers on both sides of the civil and military sides.

Although it is just praying for rain, the scale is almost the same as the emperor's sacrifice to heaven and earth, and Wanli is also attentive.

Under this kind of grandeur, even the people who talked about it before did not dare to speak loudly.

Prayers for rain soon began.

Wanli completed a series of complicated processes, and behind him, the princes also followed and made the corresponding sacrificial rituals.

And with the continuous movements of the emperor and the princes, the original clear sky and blue sky have also changed visibly to the naked eye, slowly dimming, causing the surprise of the people, as for the people of Jingshi, it seems that they have expected it, and their eyes are full of reverence.

Gu Boyang raised his head and muttered:

"Really...... Is it a coincidence? ”

But he quickly reacted and whispered:

"It must be the rain that Your Majesty prayed for with His Royal Highness King Rong and moved the heavens, and there was only ...... rain"

He looked at King Rong's regular ceremonial movements, his expression was full of appreciation, mixed with a hint of ...... Greed vs. craving? He said to the man next to him:

"King Rong is humble and polite, respectful to God and not afraid, and has the image of a wise king."

The man next to him nodded approvingly.

From the current point of view alone, this is indeed the case, Rongwang Zhu Changluo's every move is extremely polite, and in the face of the etiquette of God, he is also thoughtful and respectful, but it does not seem to be too flattering.

Seeing that the people around him supported him, Gu Boyang's heart, which was originally a little shocked, cheered up again.

Sure enough, King Rong is the true meaning!

As if remembering something, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

The sky was even more gloomy.

The wind gradually rose in the capital, mixed with a moist breath.

Shining lightning streaked across the sky, reflecting everyone's face.

Emperor Wanli's face showed joy, which was a precursor to heavy rain.

Actually, you can really ask for rain! I, am I really the one who is favored by heaven and earth?

The princes behind him, the look of surprise on their faces couldn't be hidden.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really blessed by God?

They originally thought that the so-called Son of Heaven was just pasting gold on himself, but they didn't expect that today it really proved this, the emperor is the bell of luck, and the gods are favored!

As for what they worship is actually the former courtiers of their ancestors, this point has been automatically ignored by them - immortals, fairy gods, can they be called courtiers?

Anyway, the current princes are completely shocked by the success of this rainfall.

King Fu stared at the sky, and suddenly glanced at his father above quietly, in addition to surprise, there was ambition in his eyes.

It turns out that becoming an emperor can not only be the master, but also command the heavens...... What a right!

I must get!

He couldn't help but straighten his back.

The rest of the princes also had their own thoughts, but just when everyone's minds were different, the thunder accompanied by lightning suddenly roared!

"Boom!"

This thunder shook the heavens and the earth, like thousands of gongs and drums sounding in unison, but it was even worse, so that the thousands of people lost their voices, the mountains and rivers were silent, and between heaven and earth, it seemed that only this thunder was left!

It's like the end of the world.

Under the thunder, Wanli did not flinch in the slightest, he stood awe-inspiring, majestic, that is the spirit of the co-lord of the world! Even though he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, even if he is lazy from time to time, he can rule the world for decades without causing chaos, which is already extraordinary!

Behind him, King Fu stood proudly with his waist straight, with endless ambition and the courage to dare to confront the world!

On the other side, King Rong also raised his head.

The difference was that his palms were trembling slightly.

In the face of this earth-shattering thunder, he took half a step back.

Thanks for the tip of the "Bleak Spirit Stone"!
