Chapter 236: Auspicious Rainfall from the Sky
Early the next morning, Chai Gongwang dressed up carefully.
Wearing gold wire iron underwear, a layer of gold silk softness on the outside, and finally three layers of cotton clothes on the outside, the whole person is wrapped like a zongzi, although the sky has begun autumn, but the hidden sun is still surprisingly hot, Chai Gongwang is dressed in this suit, sweating, even the prickly heat is covered out.
Life is precious, but what is a little prickly heat?
After two days of purging, Li Xiancheng basically controlled the situation in Yinyang City, martial law has been lifted, and there have been people on the streets, but on the whole, it is still relatively rare.
Li Xiancheng's enthronement ceremony is almost a sure thing, and the other eighteen cities have also received invitations, at that time, Li Xiancheng will reward the king of the eighteenth road domain, which is also as a reward for following Li Xiancheng's rebellion, so many city lords left early to come to Yinyang to watch the ceremony.
Today's sacrifice to the sky and the burning of the watch, Chai Gongwang will do the work on his behalf, and Li Xiancheng ordered several masters to secretly ambush, just waiting for Zhao Lanjiang to appear, and then come to an urn to catch turtles.
Li Renjie led a hundred dragon cavalry guards to greet Chai Gongwang, and when he saw Chai Gongwang's dress, he sneered, "How did Chai Gongwang get dressed like this?"
Chai Gongwang coughed, "I overworked last night and suffered from the cold, and I didn't get chills all over my body today, so I wore a few more clothes." ”
Li Renjie said, "Then your forehead and neck are sweaty?"
"That's why it's a cold sweat!"
The two laughed, Li Renjie rode a horse, and Chai Gongwang got into the yellow carriage representing the identity of the city lord. The carriage was extremely luxurious, made of sixteen horse-drawn carriages, the body was made of stainless steel, and ordinary bows and crossbows were difficult to shoot through.
From the city lord's mansion to the Huguo Temple, it is only three miles.
This way was not fast, but it made Chai Gongwang tremble, for fear that someone would suddenly stop in front of him and shout, "Zhao Lanjiang came to take the dog's life" and so on.
It was Li Renjie, riding a horse and walking in front, looking indifferent. These hundred dragoon guards are all the best in a hundred, and several of them are disguised by Li Xiancheng's masters of the rivers and lakes.
Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at Huguo Temple, but Zhao Lanjiang did not appear! This made Chai Gongwang both happy and worried, happy that his life was saved, and worried that he could not catch Zhao Lanjiang.
Huguo Temple is located in the north of the city of Baihufang, this is the Central Plains Zen lineage, later Li Xiancheng spent a lot of money, from the Western Regions to welcome the Tibetan Tantric living Buddha Kapa's disciples to come to Yinyang to spread the law of Tantra, and spent 100,000 silver, in the original Huguo Temple next to the expansion of the West Huguo Temple.
In this way, the East Gokokuji Temple is for Zen Buddhism, and the West Gokokuji Temple is for Tantra. The great elder is called Shaolin Temple, and the second lama is called Turpan, although these two factions claim that Tantra and Zen Buddhism practice are on the same path, but secretly they are fighting openly and secretly, and for five years, Tantra has always been pressed by Zen Buddhism. The second lama is disheartened and lazy, has nothing to do, and when he is busy, he spreads Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, and when he is free, he sells Tibetan Tantric Oil, and his life is also free.

This time the sky was burned, and the East Huguo Temple refused to receive it on the grounds that "Buddhism is a quiet place, beyond secular disputes, and who is the emperor is not in the hands of the Buddha".
Of course, Li Xiancheng may promise that after ascending the throne in the future, Tibetan Buddhism will be the state religion, so the two lamas are also quite concerned about this matter.
When everyone came to Huguo Temple, they were already followed by a group of Yinyang people. After a few days of martial law, as soon as they went to the street, they saw such a mighty procession of worshipping the heavens, and under the help of people with hearts, they followed them to Huguo Temple.
In the West Huguo Temple, there are nearly 100 famous lamas holding prayer wheels, sitting in a row, chanting scriptures in their mouths, the scene is very spectacular, Chai Gongwang ordered the dragoon guards to be under martial law, and then slowly got down from the car.
The ceremony is very simple.
The so-called sacrificial heaven and burning the watch, in folk words, is to burn paper to send money and food, and burning the watch is just another way of saying. Generally speaking, the emperor firmly believes in the eldest of the heavens, the second of the earth, and the third of him, and burning the watch is just the third to write a letter to the boss.
If it is the Ming royal family, this set of ceremonies is carried out by Taichang Temple, which is very complicated and the process is quite cumbersome. However, Chai Gongwang is just a talent on the ground, where does he understand those red tapes, so he simplifies the process, which is no different from the old woman burning paper on the street.
On the offering table, there were two pig's heads, two ox heads, two carp tails, ten oranges, six steamed buns, two candles, and an incense burner.
Chai Gongwang knelt and kowtowed, then took out a recital and read it out in public.
The content is very complicated, and it is a piece of expression that Chai Gongwang asked a few staff members to dig through countless ancient books. Its purpose is very simple, in order to prove the legal status of Li Xiancheng of the Yinyang Dynasty, for this reason, even changed the Li family tree and forcibly connected the Yinyang Li family with the Longxi Li family.
The gist of the fold is: Hello God, I am Li Xiancheng, the twenty-first generation son of Tang Taizong, and recently I am preparing to establish a country, revitalize the Yinyang Dynasty, and realize the revival of the prosperous Li Tang Dynasty.
After burning the watch, it was another kowtow.
After a while, someone came to report, "In the field of Squire Li's house in the east of the city, wheat is born with double ears, and auspicious rain falls from the sky!"
Someone came to report again, "As soon as the rich man Li in the west of the city went out this morning, he found two white elk standing at the gate of the city lord, born auspicious!"
Someone came to report again, "Early this morning, two white cranes hovered over the City Lord's Mansion, and finally as soon as City Lord Li went out, the white cranes turned into two groups of immortal qi and left!"
And all of this is carefully planned by Chai Gongwang.
After Chai Gongwang burned his watch, he fell to the ground, as if listening to the heavens to give him instructions, and finally, he couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "God has given the Hidden Yang Mingjun, and I also invite the city lord Li to ascend the throne!"
A group of dragoon guards, as well as those who came to watch the ceremony, also shouted, "Please enthrone City Lord Li!"
A scribe recorded these in a book, and then handed them over to the fast horse to send to the castle lord's mansion. It didn't take long to receive a reply from the City Lord's Mansion, "
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Li Xiancheng is so virtuous that he is ashamed of the grace of heaven and earth, and he does not dare to be the emperor!"
Chai Gongwang was heartbroken and cried bitterly.
At this time, someone came to report that today a fisherman fished out a thousand-year-old king from Dongting Lake in the Chishui River, and a poem was engraved on the back of Wang Ba:
The fairy source returns to the peach urge,
Start a family and start a career Fu Chunhui.
Ascend to the thousand-year-old emperor,
The foundation still exists through the ages.
This Tibetan poem, which begins with the words "Xiancheng ascends the throne", soon spread throughout the entire Hidden Yang City, and even the city lord boy learned to sing.
What kind of spirit is this when a king comes to Yinyang and sends a current emperor to Yinyang City? This proves even more that Li Xiancheng's ascension to the throne as emperor is in accordance with the will of heaven, the will of the people, and the times.
Even Wang Ba invited City Lord Li to ascend the throne, so City Lord Li hurried away.
Quickly galloped to the city lord's mansion, and after a short time, he received a reply, "Li Xiancheng is wrongly loved by the eighth brother of the king, but he is in power and has not made an inch, so he does not dare to ascend the throne!"
Is this worth it?
The people of Hidden Yang City don't seem to be doing it anymore. There are more than ten people, ** upper body, covered with tung oil, holding torches in their hands, standing in the Huguo Temple, shouting, if the city lord Li refuses to ascend the throne, we, the people of Yinyang, will be burned to death in the Huguo Temple!
As soon as the horse goes, it will be back in a moment.
It is to the effect: "Heaven let me ascend the throne, and Xiancheng deserves it." Xiangrui let me ascend the throne, and Xiancheng is virtuous and incompetent. However, the people of Yinyang are forced to take their lives, and I, Li Xiancheng, am the lord of Yinyang City, if I don't obey the wishes of the people, I will become a heinous sinner. For this reason, I reluctantly make it difficult, so I will be the emperor for a few years first. ”
In the West Huguo Temple, there was a cheer.
In the East Huguo Temple, the presiding officer of the Shaolin Temple had just finished his morning class, came to the courtyard, heard the noise next door, muttered a sentence, and turned back to the room.
The two little novices next to him muttered.
One person asked, "What did the host just say?"
Another said, "It must be some kind of sculpture, like a sand sculpture." ”
"How can you carve the sand so loosely?
The two discussed for a long time, and did not discuss a result, so they proposed to go next door to watch, but the east and west Huguo Temple has always been at odds, because of the majesty of the host, the two did not dare to go over, so they had to climb to the wall and look into the courtyard.
The crowd was in a frenzy.
The man with the torch accidentally set fire to the other person's clothes, and in an instant, it burned. In the wailing, the man was in unbearable pain, scurrying around, and lit the veil in the Xihuguo Temple, and the veil was lit with lamp oil, and the lamp oil was overturned.
A fire broke out.
The scene descended into chaos.
