Chapter 9 The Merchant Incense Storm Arises
However, it is said that after this emperor Xin ascended the throne, Jiang Shi, the daughter of Jiang Huan Chu, the wife of Dongbohou, was the queen, Huang Feihu's sister was the imperial concubine of the West Palace, Yang was the imperial concubine of Xinqing Palace, and the concubine of the three palaces, all of whom were virtuous and chaste, soft and virtuous. Wen Youtai Shi Wen Zhong, Prime Minister Shang Rong, Shangda Doctor Mei Bai, Zhao Qi and others advised the government, Wu Youzhen Guowu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu and others settled the country, sat and enjoyed peace, all the people were happy, the wind and rain were smooth, the country and the people were safe; The sages once said that he was born in sorrow and died in peace, and in this comfortable environment, Di Xin gradually lost his original ambition and indulged in wine, and the common people were forgetful, and he may forget your mistakes because of your good deeds, and he will also think that you are a mistake, and forget your merits. People have long forgotten the third prince who made great achievements, and only remembered Di Xin, who is now making the people's lives miserable, and Di Xin is now known as the King of Xu.
As the so-called those who follow the heavens are easy, and those who go against the heavens work, Duobao Dao people are destined to be uncomfortable.
In the seventh year of the reign of the Emperor, in February, the spring flowers bloomed, the earth was filled with the breath of spring, and the streets of the capital of Yin Shang were on the street of the Song City, a prosperous scene. At this moment, he saw a knight rushing in from the city gate, with a solemn expression. Regardless of the people who fell to the ground, they went straight to the king's palace.
On this day, the ministers of Yin Shang, civil and military affairs gathered in the palace, most of them didn't know what was going on, only to see that the prince Wen Zhong's expression was solemn, knowing that something big had happened, and there were many discussions. At this moment, I saw the king of the Su coming to the main hall accompanied by the prime minister Shang Rong, and I saw that the king of the Su had a gloomy face, and everyone did not dare to talk about it.
The king came to the top of the main hall and said hatefully: "Yuan Futong is so bold, his Yuan family has been greatly favored by our dynasty for generations, and now he dares to entangle the princes of the seventy-two roads to rebel without thinking of returning, and I want to punish him." ”
When the Taishi heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to worry about this, Yuan Futong rebelled and stirred up Beihai into a mess, and now it is right to put down the rebellion first, otherwise if you let it grow bigger and shake the country, it will be too late." ”
Then the king also led the army to go out to fight, so he naturally knew how harmful the war disaster was, so he thought about it for a moment and said: "In this case, there is a trip to Beihai on behalf of me to detain that Yuan Futong, and I want to ask him face-to-face whose courage he borrowed." "Then the reason why the king sent Wen Zhong there was a different thought. If there is another person in the court who is afraid of the king now, it is this Wen Zhong. He has been teaching the king for many years, and he has accumulated a lot of prestige. With him in the court, the king did not dare to act recklessly, so he took the opportunity to release him, and the king also wanted to take this opportunity to enjoy it.
Although Wen Zhong knew the calculation of the king, but now the two of them are monarchs and ministers, and in front of the minister of civil and military affairs, he did not want to let the king of Zhou not come to the stage.
March 15 is the birthday of the Virgin Mary of the human race, Nuwa Niangniang, and when you see this, you will ask, how do you know that Nuwa Niangniang is born in Hongmeng, and there are no years in Hongmeng?
The Duobao Dao people on Jinao Island knew that the king would go to the Nuwa Niangniang Temple on this day to make incense, so he asked for a black gourd from the hands of the Nashen Gongbao, and specially came to the Nuwa Temple one day in advance to wait, he wanted to see how the king dared to be rude to the Virgin Nuwa Niangniang, whether it was a lust obsession, or there was another hidden secret.
On this day, the king of Xuan came to the early dynasty very reluctantly, only to see the civil and military officials on both sides. But seeing the clouds, the king sat on the palace of Jinluan, and the auspicious light was swirling, and the white jade steps were in front of the civil and military. Shen Tan sprayed gold furnace, then see the bead high roll, the blue musk caged treasure fan, and see his pheasant tail low.
The king asked the official in charge: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a person walking out of the Wenchen, prostrating on the golden steps, holding his teeth high, it was the Prime Minister Shang Rong, I saw him come forward and bow: "The minister Shang Rong has something to play, tomorrow March 15 is the birthday of our Terran Holy Mother Nuwa Niangniang, and I invite Your Majesty to come to Nuwa Temple to pray for Nuwa Niangniang." ”
The king asked, "I don't know what merit this Nuwa Niangniang has, and I will move to pray for her?"
When Shang Rong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, people's hearts are not ancient, Nuwa Niangniang and the Duobao Holy Master have been forgotten in just a thousand years. At that moment, he stepped forward and said: "Nuwa Niangniang is the Holy Mother of my human race, she created my human race with her own blood, and my human race must be regarded as the descendants of Niangniang, and then there is a Wu clan Gonggong clan whose head cannot touch Zhou Mountain, the sky tilts to the northwest, and the earth sinks to the southeast; Today, the song worships this blessed god, then the four o'clock Kangtai, the country is long, the dream is smooth and the rain is smooth, and the disaster is submerged. This blessed country and the righteous god of the people, Your Majesty should go to the incense!"
When the king heard this, he said, "Since this is the case, it will be played by the emperor." ”
On the second day, the king of Xuan took a chariot and led hundreds of civil and military officials to the Nuwa Temple to make incense. When the people in the city saw the emperor traveling, every house burned incense, and every household was colorful. Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, led 3,000 iron cavalry and 800 imperial forest guards on the left and right, accompanied by hundreds of officials in the court, all the way to the Nuwa Temple.
When the king and his entourage came to the Nuwa Temple, they saw that the front of the palace was gorgeous and made up of colorful gold. The golden boy is on the right to hold the flag, and the jade girl is both holding the wish. The jade hook hangs obliquely, the half-round crescent moon hangs in the air, and the treasure tent is swaying, and ten thousand pairs of colorful luans are fighting. Biluo bedside, all are dancing cranes and soaring, and the agarwood throne creates dragons and flying phoenixes. Fluttering strange colors, golden furnace mist, curling auspicious purple mist, silver candle brilliant. Seeing that this Nuwa temple was built so gorgeously, he knew how highly regarded Nuwa Niangniang was among the human race, and thinking of this, the king became more and more curious about this Nuwa Niangniang.
Not to mention that the king admires the magnificence of the Nuwa Temple here, but it is said that the Duobao Taoist secretly hides behind the curtain of the side hall, observing the king, I saw that his eyes were bright, his face was resolute, although his face was a little pale, obviously caused by excessive wine, but as an emperor, this is also normal. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a reckless man who dares to challenge the saint. At this moment, Duobao Daoist glanced out of the corner of his eye, and he was frightened into a cold sweat, only to see that on the side hall opposite him, there was a Taoist with his head in a double bun, wearing a Taoist robe, and a yellow beard. I can't help but admire that this quasi-Taoist is really doing everything for the sake of the West.
Although the quasi-Daoist came here to bewitch the emperor of the world, but he had the opportunity to lead the Dao to cover up for him, and now in the face of a group of mortals, he was not discovered, so he just used an extremely simple stealth technique, and stood on the side hall on the other side with such a big grin, but he never thought that in addition to him, there was an audience hidden in the shadows.
At this time, the king of Nasu, accompanied by Shang Rong and others, came to the palace, and under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, after paying homage to Nuwa Niangniang, he just got up, and suddenly a strange wind blew from nowhere, rolled up the curtain, and the statue of Nuwa appeared.
It is said that this king has never seen any kind of beauty as the king of a country, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a trance, and in a daze, he actually had a different kind of thought, and said in his heart: I am the son of heaven, rich all over the world, even though there are six courtyards and three palaces, there is no such color. At that moment, he ordered someone to fetch the four treasures of the study. The inner attendant hurriedly brought the four treasures of the study room and dedicated them to the king. The king took Zihao, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote a poem on the wall of Nuwa Temple:
"Fengluanbao's tent scene is very, and it is full of lacquered and golden.
The distant mountains are flying in emerald color, and the dancing sleeves reflect the glow of the sun.
The pear blossom brings the rain to compete for the beauty, and the peony cage smokes and makes up charming.
But he has to be enchanting to move and take back the king of Changle. ”
The prime minister Shang Rong was shocked when he saw this, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Nuwa Niangniang is the mother of the human race, and has great merits in the world. If His Majesty composes a poem to blaspheme the saints, without any piety, if he is guilty of the saints, it is not a gift for the Son of Heaven to pray. May Your Majesty let this obscene poem be washed away with water, otherwise if it is seen by others, will it not be said that Your Majesty is not virtuous. ”
The king had already woken up at this time, and when he saw the poem on the wall, he didn't understand what was coming, and he was robbed by the merchant for a while. Although the king regretted it in his heart at this time, this Shang Rong shouted at him in front of everyone, and his heart was displeased, and he said at the moment: "I see that the face of the lady has a peerless appearance, because I wrote a poem to praise it, how can I have any other meaning? The situation is lonely is the respect of ten thousand times, left with the surname of ten thousand people, it can be seen that the beauty of the mother is peerless, and the lonely last pen ear is also seen. With that, he drove back to the palace.
When the civil and military officials saw that the king was angry, they didn't dare to say more, and followed him back to the palace. Only the prime minister Shang Rong stayed and personally fetched water to wash away the poems on the wall, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't erase the words on the wall, and he was frightened, so he could only find a curtain to cover the wall, and then left.
Although the king was confused and didn't know what was going on, the Duobao Daoist hidden in the shadows saw it clearly, thinking that the quasi-Daoist was trying to confuse a small human emperor by means of a saint, but he was hiding in the shadows at this time and did not dare to meet with the quasi-Daoist, otherwise he would be killed. Seeing that everyone had left, the quasi-Taoist walked out from the side hall, removed the curtains, looked at the poems on the wall with satisfaction, smiled proudly, and then turned around and went out of the main hall, and set up the light and went back to the west.
Seeing him leaving, Duobao Daoist dared to walk out from behind the curtain, looked at the poems on the wall, sighed helplessly, and also came out of the Nuwa Temple.
