Yingwu smiled: "Your Majesty, the harem is vacated, Your Majesty should think about your own affairs." His Majesty is eighteen years old this year, and when he is about to reach the year of the crown, it is time to consider the matter of taking a concubine. ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect that I could be urged to marry as an emperor in the Qin Dynasty......

hurriedly said haha: "It's still early, it's not too late to think about it after the crown." ”

Yingwu wanted to say something, but I hurriedly said: "I'm going to prepare to pray for rain, Zongzheng is resting, and I'm leaving." ”

After saying that, I ran away, and Yingwu looked at my back and smiled helplessly.

Yingwu is an old minister and Zongzheng, and I really can't stand it when he urges him to get married......

Back at the Temple of the Four Seas, Taishi had already prepared a matter of praying for rain, and the edict of praying for rain was sent to all counties, and the subjects of the world wanted to pray for rain with me.

The next morning, after bathing, I took the hundred officials to the temple.

Jongmyo is located in the southeast of Xianyang Palace, and although it is not independent of the palace walls, it is also a separate palace gate.

Then I fasted for three days, and after the third day, I took the hundred officials to the southern suburbs of Xianyang.

The southern suburbs have already piled up the altars of worshipping the sky and praying for rain, and people continue to join along the way.

Along the way, the blazing sun almost roasted me, but the sacrifice to the sky must be sincere, naturally not an umbrella.

After boarding the altar, Taishi set a set of processes to welcome the gods, salute, enter the ceremony, first offering, second offering, and final offering, and an hour was used, and I already felt a little dizzy.

Looking at the people under the altar, they were not afraid of the heat, and they all fell on their knees on the ground, praying for rain from heaven.

I endured it so that I didn't fall, and I used all my strength to salute the sky.

"Great Qin Lai Tian Shengde, the wind and rain are smooth. However, this summer there was a severe drought, and the people were struggling to make a living. I am the emperor, and my personal morality is ruined, not as good as the people, and the people are ruined, and the sin is my body. Pray that God Haotian will be merciful, give rain and wetlands, save living beings, and worship the emperor for all eternity! ”

Seeing that there was no movement in the sky, my heart gradually sank.

It seems that God will not take any special care of me because I have crossed over.

The people below were still lying on the ground, praying earnestly for rain.

Just when I felt hopeless and was about to return to the palace, I suddenly heard the sound of muffled thunder rolling from a distance.

I hurriedly looked up, and saw that the sky in the north had become black and oppressive, and in an instant, it had drifted overhead. With a thunderclap, huge raindrops fell from thousands of miles in the sky, smashing on the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust.

The people began to rejoice and excitedly welcome this gift from heaven.

I looked up at the sky, was it really because I was a traverser that gave me this benefit?

The cheers of the people below resounded in the sky, and they wanted to drown out the rumbling thunder: "Rain from the sky, Your Majesty is virtuous!" God bless Daqin, Daqin for ten thousand years! ”

They all thought that it was my virtue that was recognized by the heavens, and that this heavy rain fell.

Amid the cheers of the people, I took the hundred officials back to Xianyang Palace. The altar is relatively high, thunderstorms are frequent in summer, and it has rained, so I don't dare bet that God won't split me just because I have crossed over......

returned to the palace and changed clothes, and Li Si and Feng Zheng also came over.

The two of them were overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty's virtue touched the heavens, and finally rained down, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

I smiled, waved my hand, and said, "It's the sincerity of my Great Qin subjects, and I can't deserve it." ”

Li Si smiled: "With this heavy rain, the crops can finally be relieved." Looking at this rainfall, the output may be reduced this year, but it will not be reduced too much. ”

I nodded: "There are reports from all over the country, and they must be submitted in time, although it is raining in Guanzhong, I don't know how it is in other places." ”

The two of them said yes.

At this moment, Qi Wan hurriedly walked in, and said with excitement on his face: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang's recital!" ”

"Oh? Give it to me! "I'm overjoyed, it's been a year and a half, and there's finally news from Zhang Ling.

I hurriedly opened the report, only to see that it told in detail about their experience in the past year and a half, not only traveled to the 36 countries of the Western Regions, but also brought back a lot of things that I asked them to pay special attention to, among which all kinds of fruits, crops, and specialties were basically found.

There is bad news, though. For some reason, the Otsuki clan suddenly provoked a war with the six countries of the Cheshi, and the northern Hujiao also began to frequently invade the six countries of Shanbei. The deputy envoy Fang Ji suddenly felt a vicious illness and died, and the mission of more than 300 people suffered dozens of casualties, most of whom were not adapted to the environment along the way or drank dirty water, fell ill and died, and some died of exhaustion on the road.

I handed the report to Li Si and the others, and said excitedly: "Zhang Wei has already entered Dunhuang, and it is estimated that he will be able to return to Xianyang in two months!" ”

Both of them knew that I attached great importance to the Western Regions, and after reading the report, they congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Rain fell from the sky, and the mission came with good news, God bless Daqin! ”

I smiled and said, "It's not clear in the report, wait for Zhang Wei to come back, and see what surprises he can bring to me." ”

After that, I glanced up at the outside of the hall, and then said, "Go and get busy, and come to me at any time if you have something." ”

The two of them retreated.

Meng He walked in.

"Your Majesty, Prince Hu Hai has never been out of the harem, and in addition to studying with Mr. every day, he plays with a few princesses, and he has not found anyone in contact. In addition, there is no news about the hostility towards Confucianism. ”

I nodded, "Got it." ”

Since Hu Hai has never been in contact with outsiders, it can only be Mrs. Zheng.

"This Mrs. Zheng is really ...... Look for death. ”

It is reasonable for no one to dare to openly talk about Confucianism, and if someone really advocates against Confucianism with great fanfare, I am afraid that he must first see if he is sick in the brain.

"By the way, is there any news from the person you are looking for?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have found it, and I can go to Xianyang today."

I raised my eyebrows: "Oh? So fast? The man alone? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you are in Sanchuan County, and you have an older brother. The linen cloth business done by the two of them was quite famous, and the clean room was easily found all the way south. ”

"What did you tell her? Would she like to? ”

"I cried bitterly when I heard the news from the clean room, and I was very willing!"

I exclaimed, "It's not easy." I know, wait for the people to arrive in Xianyang, settle down and come back to me. ”

After Meng He retreated, I thought for a moment: "Qi Xuan, go and call Li Si and Feng Zheng back." ”

Li Si and the others had just walked to the Xianyang Hall and were about to leave the palace, when Qi Wan hurriedly chased after them.

"Li Xiang, Feng Xiang, Your Majesty summons."

The two looked at each other, what was the situation? I just came out of the Temple of the Four Seas, and it was still raining so heavily, how could I let it go back? Without hesitation, the two followed Qi Wan back.

Looking at the two of them, I said in a deep voice: "I will announce two things at tomorrow's court meeting, and I will inform the two of you in advance......"

After a long time, the two of them left the Four Seas Hall with heavy hearts.

Feng Zheng sighed lightly: "After all, we still have to come to this point." ”

Li Si's face was as pale as water, and he responded: "As expected, maybe it should have come two years ago." ”
