August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Today is the fullest day of the year, and since ancient times, many literati and writers have written poems to praise the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many of them are popular. Through the ages.

Although Pan Long studied martial arts, he also memorized a lot of such poems. Compared with the Yongyue poems of another world, he thinks that the level is probably higher here.

In fact, not only poetry, but even questions such as fu and ode, this world is much more clever than in previous lives. If a traveler wants to be a copyist in this world, the most practical way is probably copying, prose and philosophy...... Well, taking history as a mirror, that's what the very successful predecessor used to be.

As we all know, although Wen Chaogong is a genius in the world, he actually does not write many poems. The main content of his work is class, followed by philosophy and the like.

As for poetry...... It is said that Wen Chaogong once said, "Two sentences and three years are obtained, and it is too hard to compose poems." It's better to write, a few thousand words a day. ”...... This kind of vulgar language is indeed very much in line with his style, so that many poets like to laugh at themselves for "hard work".

Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult for poets to write a wonderful poem about the moon.

The years have passed, and the predecessors have written almost everything that can be written. It is really difficult for future generations to write well!

In recent years, there have been few poems of this kind that are eye-catching. Even if he is a literary master, he often writes a lot of prose.

Fortunately, every Mid-Autumn Festival, after all, there will still be some good Yongyue prose, which finally makes the literary world not lonely and the full moon in the sky not lonely.

But this year, it looks like things may be different.

Pan Long looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, shook his head, and sighed.

From the evening of August 14, the sky in the Gyeonggi area was very overcast. By today, dark clouds have covered a radius of thousands of miles, not to mention the Gyeonggi region, even the entire Zhongzhou, and even the rest of the vicinity, are covered by dark clouds.

He had tried to fly above the clouds, but the clouds were quite high, and he flew for a while before flying into the clouds, and then flew up into the Gangfeng layer.

Today's dark clouds are actually connected to the clouds of the Gangfeng layer!

This is so difficult to do, so that the dignified Great Xia court, with such a master, has nothing to do with this dark cloud.

Fortunately...... Although they can't clean up this cloudy day, if they just want to make a hole in the dark clouds, so that the moonlight can be seen at the location of the venue during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it shouldn't be difficult.

At least Pan Long met the "Drunken Immortal" Chen Yan in the sky not long ago. He took several real grandmasters with him, and he was arranging the formation in the clouds.

At that time, Pan Long curiously leaned up to inquire about it, only to know that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing conference, they had to make arrangements in the clouds.

"That must be spectacular!" Pan Long sighed.

Chen Yan smiled and didn't say anything.

Pan Long knew that he might be sarcastic.

The Son of Heaven is also the Son of Heaven. As a son, you should honor your father, and if your father is in a bad mood, let him have two points, and wait for him to be in a good mood after a while, or simply find some fun to make him happy. And now the Great Xia Emperor's approach is equivalent to making people draw a smile on his father's face.

Tsk, unfilial son!

But Pan Long is really curious, what kind of situation will it be when the clouds open and the moon rises with one finger of this hand?

He's never seen this before!

And tonight, the scene that can be seen will definitely not be just "clouds open and moonrise".

He hadn't forgotten that Gu Wen didn't give him an answer until he left the stall yesterday.

There is no answer, which is an answer in itself.

Obviously, Gu Wen has made up his mind to temporarily abandon one of the most important core ideas of the Mo family, "love and love", and complete his assassination at all costs.

As for how many people might be affected in the assassination process and how many innocents would be harmed, he couldn't care less.

Of course, Pan Long can understand his approach - it is already difficult to be weak and strong, and if you care about benevolence, righteousness and morality, it is to add extra difficulty to yourself.

When the Great Xia Dynasty pursued and killed the Mo family, it never cared about any "love"!

The idea of demanding a very high morality from the good guys and a very low demand from the bad guys is itself an accomplice of the bad guys!

What the emperor can do, the Mo family can certainly do.

It's just that...... Thinking that many innocent people might die tonight, Pan Long felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

(Alas, I'm a hypocrite!)

He sighed in his heart.

If he were to change places, he would not have been kinder than Goodwin. In order to achieve the goal, even if the innocent is implicated, it is not careless.

Let alone...... If great things can be accomplished, there will be many fewer deaths.

While human life should not be compared to numbers, numbers are the best measure if you have to choose between "those who died" or "those who died".

It's the same person he doesn't know, and there's no reason why the side with fewer people should lose to the side with more people, right?

Thinking about these somewhat deep topics in his heart, he took out the invitation card and walked into the venue.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Appreciation Conference is not held in the Divine Capital, but on the ground.

It is said that this is to reflect the joy of the Son of Heaven and the people, and it is a rule set by Emperor Jiazi back then.

The location of this venue is very special, it is located directly below the Shendu, near the sacrificial platform where the Zhongzhou Ding is located.

In order not to obstruct the line of sight, Shendu City will temporarily fly far away, leaving a sufficiently open sky.

This is also one of the only two shifts in the city of Shendu in a year, and the other is the ceremony of worshipping the heavens. When the time comes, the Kyushu festival rooftop will be sacrificed together, and the gods will also move away, giving way to a bright blue sky.

The venue of the moon viewing festival has a strange design, it looks like an obtuse curved surface, the center of the circle is the song stage, and then the rows of seats are raised one by one, and the last row is even more than two feet higher than the front row.

Unlike other world leaders who are in the front row, in the moon viewing conference, most of the Son of Heaven and the royal children and important ministers are in the back row. The front row is reserved for those who have received special commendations – for example, the top performers selected for this year's imperial examinations, and the officials who have made great contributions in the past year.

Pan Long's seat is slightly further back in the middle, neither in the front nor in the back. But it doesn't matter where you sit, the view is unobstructed.

At about 7 o'clock in the evening, as an official of the Ministry of Rites came to the stage to ring the bell, the moon viewing meeting was officially started.

There is no such thing as a "host" in this world, only the bells and drums on the side of the stage are used as cues between programs. When the bell rang, a very handsome scholar came to the stage to present a birthday song for today's emperor Renchen.

Di Renchen is also in his fifties this year, and he has indeed reached the age of being eligible to be celebrated.

That person's article "Wishing the Son of Heaven Longevity Without Borders" was written steadily, and Pan Long didn't hear any problems anyway. The officials near him also nodded, and more than one whispered: "It is extremely hard to be able to write such an endowment." ”

Pan Long paid attention to Zhang Guozhong, who was sitting a little farther away, Zhang Guozhong listened to this fu, and did not say anything, just nodded slightly like his colleagues around him.

Whether he nodded his head in approval or in acknowledgment?

After reading a birthday blessing, Di Renchen, who was sitting on a special throne at the back, stood up. So everyone stood up, turned around, bowed their heads, and saluted the Son of Heaven.

About a few seconds later, with the sound of a bell, everyone raised their heads again, and Pan Long saw Di Renchen.

This was the first time he had seen this Great Xia Dynasty.

Di Renchen's appearance is quite handsome, but he doesn't look like a person in his early fifties at all, and he is about forty years old at most. He has deep facial features and bright eyes, and his beard and hair are meticulously manicured, but his mustache is thicker, while his jaw beard is more sparse, and his cheeks are completely beardless, which is generally more akin to the feeling of "a warped beard and a goatee".

Well, it's the kind of beard that appeared in many European and American portraits in previous lives.

Di Renchen's figure is also quite tall, and it should be close to six feet by eyesight. Pan Long was already relatively tall, but Di Renchen might be slightly taller than him. Such a tall figure, but it does not look thin at all, nor burly, but only makes people feel well-proportioned.

But I don't know if it's something in the clothes or strangled the stomach, or is it really just such a good figure of a model?

Di Renchen's eyes swept around the audience, then smiled slightly, and said to the prince and queen sitting beside him: "In the years that I have been in power, the happiest time of the year is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because every day, you can see the heroes from all over the world gathered together, and it is gratifying to see a lot of talents!"

The queen smiled and nodded, and Di Hedong immediately replied: "This is the blessing of my father, the emperor, and it is also the blessing of my Great Xia." ”

Di Renchen smiled and nodded, and said: "Enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the people enjoying together, is a tradition that I have always had in Great Xia. This year's situation is not good, and I am not shy about it. At this moment, the situation in Daxia is like the weather above us, dark clouds are heavy and unsettling. ”

Di Hedong didn't dare to take this, but Di Luonan, who was sitting on the other side, dared.

"Dark clouds cover the moon, after all, it is only temporary. He said, "I have been brilliant in Great Xia for thousands of years, ruling Kyushu internally and opening up the territory outside, the lives of the three armies and the return of the Quartet, even if there are some clowns who jump off the beam, they can only make trouble for a while!"

Di Renchen smiled again: "Luo Nan is right. I have been brilliant in the Great Xia for thousands of years, and my background is so profound! Even if there is some trouble for the time being, it is just the trouble of scabies, just like the dark clouds in the sky. It looks gloomy and gloomy, as if everything is covered, but in fact...... But that's it!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, pointed to the sky, and shouted, "The clouds are open!

As soon as he gave the order, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be frightened by him, and they moved in all directions centered in the direction of his fingers, giving way to a huge piece of the sky in one breath, which was exactly the direction of the moon.

At this moment, the bright moon was full, and the clear moonlight fell, at first it was just a line, falling on him, and then spreading in all directions...... It looks like the moonlight shines on Emperor Renchen first, and then slowly shares it with others.

With such a wonderful scenery, even Pan Long, who already knew about it, couldn't help but be amazed in his heart. And those participants who knew nothing were even more wide-eyed and speechless in shock.

Although everyone knows that the emperor is called the "Son of Heaven", everyone also knows that this is just talk.

Emperor Jiazi of Great Xia Taizu may really be God's favorite, but when Emperor Renchen is today...... Where is there anything sacred!

But the scene seen at this moment has changed the original impression in many people's hearts.

Di Renchen raised his hand and pointed at it, and with an order, it was the moonrise of Yunkai. With such divine might, could it really be God's bestow?

Could it be that Da Xia Zi is really destiny?

I don't know who took the lead first, and in a moment, someone shouted "Long live my emperor, long live", and then in the sound of a mountain, everyone bowed to Emperor Renchen, and countless backbones bent into one.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Di Renchen smiled.

It was the first time since the Dragon Boat Festival that he smiled so happily.

(The idea of the old water motoko is really good!)

He thought so in his heart, and was about to say something, when he heard a voice in the distance.

"With such a beautiful day, wouldn't it be a pity if there was no one to put on some shows?"

Di Renchen frowned, and the guards nearby were already on guard, and several masters rushed in the direction where the voice came from.

But before they could rush far, the voice said: "I remember that Zhao Sheng held the moon viewing conference for the first time, when the hundreds of schools of thought were still there, and the heroes of the hundreds of schools performed on stage. In the end, even Zhao Sheng himself came on stage and sang a song...... It's a pity that his singing voice is too poor, and he was dragged off the stage by his friend Wen Chao shouting "spare everyone's ears" in the middle of singing. ”

"Alas, the bright moon is still the same, the Great Xia is still the same, but the beautiful scenery of the year can no longer be seen. ”

Di Renchen immediately guessed the identity of the other party, and asked loudly: "Is the person who came, but the people of the hundred families of the princes?" Today is a day of celebration, and I don't want to use my sword at this moment. If you want, you can come and see you!"

He paused and said with a smile, "If you dare to perform on stage, I don't mind singing one." In other things, I am far inferior to Taizu in terms of self-examination, but in terms of singing, I am still a little confident. ”

His attitude was so calm and calm, as if the masters of the hundreds of schools who didn't know where they were didn't have the slightest threat. Such a bearing made Pan Long have to admire.

(Sure enough, he deserves to be the emperor!)
