Chapter 135: The Seven Maidens Praying for Rain (5)
A rooster crows, and the dawn of dawn pierces the darkness and sheds sunlight on the earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shaoyuan, who was sleeping against the wall, yawned, looked at Xiao Yue, who was sleeping on his lap, and gently smoothed the emanation in his ear. But it woke up Satsuki.
Xiao Yue rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Official, you're awake"
Shaoyuan nodded, "Did I wake you up?"
Satsuki smiled and shook her head, "No, I woke up by myself, what are you awake from?" princess?"
Shaoyuan raised his finger to indicate that Satsuki should not speak, and then pointed to the bed on the side. Xiao Yue smiled and began to massage Shaoyuan's thighs that were used as pillows last night.
At this time, Shaoyuan was about to stand up, and suddenly saw a man in a yellow robe walk in, it was the current saint. Shaoyuan motioned to Xiaoyue to help himself up quickly, but he knew that the emperor just pressed Shaoyuan and motioned him not to make a sound.
Then he walked to the side of the bed, looked at his daughter, who was still asleep at this time, and said softly, "Hard work baby"
The emperor hooked his hand and motioned for Shaoyuan to come out, and Xiaoyue hurriedly gently helped Shaoyuan up and walked outside.
The emperor asked, "How is the dance practice?"
Satsuki replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the princess is gifted and intelligent, and she has learned everything"
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, great, thank you for your hard work, I will send a carriage in a while"
Shaoyuan and Xiaoyue bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty"
With that, His Majesty drove back to the palace and prepared to start today's morning court
When she returned to the room, the princess had already woken up, but she was just hazy, "Senior brother, sister-in-law, has anyone been here?"
Shaoyuan nodded, "The emperor has just come, but the princess hasn't woken up yet, and the emperor hasn't woken up the princess."
The princess seemed to be very excited, "Father is here?!" and then pouted, "Hmph, don't call me when you come, my father is really hateful"
Xiao Yue smiled, "Princess, when you wake up, how much do you remember about your dance?
The princess nodded, "Mm-hmm, when I'm done washing, I'll show my sister-in-law a jump."
The early dynasty of Weiyang Palace
The emperor sat down on the dragon chair in the worship of everyone and motioned to the group of ministers to be flat.
The emperor was the first to speak, "I had a dream last night, I met the first emperor in the dream, and the first emperor said to me that this method of asking for rain has been told to my people, and you can find out if you inquire about it this morning. I don't know if Zhong Aiqing knows?"
Master Wei arched his hand and said, "Holding Jinwu, Wei Zhun has something to play"
The emperor nodded, "Quasi-playing"
Lord Wei said, "Tell Your Majesty, last night the minister led the troops to patrol Yishui at night, only to see a huge black shadow in Yishui, suddenly flying into the sky, disappearing, the minister was terrified, could it be that the minister saw it yesterday is the dragon soul of the first emperor?"
The emperor smiled, "The emperor cared about state affairs, although he was already in the immortal class, it is not impossible to still worry about state affairs"
At this time, Jing Zhaoyin, right Fufeng, left Feng Yi, and Henan Yin raised their hands to "the minister has something to play"
The emperor is also a stranger, "Usually it is rare to see the Sanfu region play together, could it be that something strange happened?"
Jing Zhaoyin "told the emperor that this morning, there was such a nursery rhyme in the streets: 'Seven women pray, seven women rise, singing and dancing to call the dragon.' Three days of singing, three days of smelling, the silk of nectar comes with the wind', asked about the child, all said that there was someone in the dream to teach, the minister thought, this is the emperor pointed to the method of praying for rain"
The other three also bowed their hands and said, "This is also the case in other regions, and the minister thinks that this is the method of praying for rain referred to by the emperor."
The emperor nodded, "The same is the seven women praying for rain, presumably this is what the emperor is referring to"
At this time, Zhang Situ came out and said, "The minister thinks otherwise, just a few nursery rhymes, how can you take it so seriously, and please let Your Majesty know"
At this time, Lord Lu Xun Xu came out of the ranks, "Zhang Situ's words are wrong, this is the first emperor's dream, there has never been this nursery rhyme in the Sanfu area, but overnight, the entire Si Li has been spread, isn't this the will of heaven?
Zhang Situ: "Lord Xu, don't be a fool, so why doesn't your grandson know this nursery rhyme?"
Lord Xu said leisurely, "What the emperor gave is a good family in the six counties, and the grandchildren under him will also, as for why Zhang Situ's grandson will not, then you have to ask Zhang Situ himself" Lord Xu was clever and replied that he hit back as it was, and also insinuated that Zhang Situ was immoral, so it hurt his family.
The emperor accepted it when he saw it, "Okay, don't talk about it anymore, let's ask Taichang what he thinks, Lord Hai, although it is also the Seven Daughters praying for rain, but the method I know is slightly different from your past divination method, could it be that Lord Hai has been busy with official business recently, which has led to a slight deviation." ”
But seeing that Lord Hai was sweating profusely, his eyes were confused, his surroundings were wandering, and his spirit was sluggish, he just looked at the emperor in confusion, Zhang Situ pulled the corner of Lord Hai's clothes, but Lord Hai turned a deaf ear.
At this time, a small yellow door entered and said, "Tell the emperor, the eldest princess Liu Huanting asks to see, claiming to have a way to pray for rain"
The corners of the emperor's mouth raised a "biography"
I saw the princess wearing a gorgeous dress, walked to the court, and saluted the emperor in the center, "The son and the emperor see the father"
"No courtesy," the emperor said with a smile, "My princess, is there any good news for me?"
The princess smiled and nodded, "Yes, father, last night the child dreamed of the emperor's grandfather, and the emperor's grandfather told the child a very nice nursery rhyme, and also taught the child a dance, saying that his old man wanted to see it"
The emperor said, "Oh, what dance, can you show your father?"
The princess looked at the ministers around her and smiled, "Then it's ugly."
Watching the princess dance, Zhang Situ was not in the mood to watch at all, he just pulled the car too hard, hoping that he could return to normal as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it backfired.
After the princess finished dancing, Lord Xu took the lead in kneeling down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is a miracle, this is a miracle, this is the manifestation of the first emperor, this is the manifestation of the first emperor!
The princess said at this time, "By the way, my father, the emperor's grandfather said that it takes seven people to be enough, otherwise her old man will be unhappy."
The emperor nodded, "Okay, I know, seeing that you are sweating profusely, you must be tired, come, come and sit down next to my father."
The princess gave a salute "The retainers obeyed orders"
Lord Xu said, "Your Majesty, both of them are seven women praying for rain, presumably the emperor knew about our plan ......"
The emperor smiled slightly, and coughed, "Lord Xu, didn't Lord Taichang say a long time ago that it was the seventh woman praying for rain?"
Lord Hai was still confused, but he just knew how to say, "Your Majesty said yes, Your Majesty said yes"
The princess was puzzled, "Father, you have long known that the seven daughters pray for rain?"
The emperor laughed, "It's not early, it's not early, I just found out, where is Zongzheng?"
Zongzheng is an arch "Weichen in"
The emperor asked, "The daughter of my clan, is there enough for seven people?"
Zong Zheng said, "Back to the emperor, impartially, there are just six princesses and county lords of appropriate age"
The emperor asked the princess, "Would my son like to teach the other six people this dance?"
The princess smiled and replied, "Yes, wrap it up on me."
The emperor then laughed: "Then three days later, these seven women will pray for rain in Yishui, Ling Dan!"
Empty list of "ministers"
The emperor suddenly said solemnly, "I will send you an order with six doors to help you investigate and deal with the officialdom of the three states with all your might, and you must have real evidence, and let these people know the fate of going against the court and me!"
Ling Dan was overjoyed, "The minister obeys the order, and the minister will do his best to repay His Majesty's trust"
The emperor suddenly said, "Zhang Situ!"
Zhang Situ made a list of "The old minister is here!"
The emperor said, "This matter of praying for rain will be fully entrusted to your Zhang family, if there is a slight mistake in the pool, offend the first emperor, don't blame me." Also, take Master Taichang down to rest to see if there is any pain, and if it can't be cured, let him return to his hometown as soon as possible."
Zhang Situ hurriedly knelt down, "Obey the order!"
In this way, a battle above the court was disintegrated by Lu Shaoyuan and Lu Xiaoyue in a very civilian way, and this time it was a nursery rhyme. The majesty of the court, which had been slightly weakened, was re-established. Everyone believes that this drought is not a loss of virtue on the part of the Son of Heaven, but that the drought has attracted the blessing of the emperor, and at this time, relief grain and grass from all over the country have also arrived, and the originally floating three states have become stable in an instant. I don't know where it came out, saying that the eldest princess is the reincarnation of a goddess, but fortunately she is the daughter of the royal family, otherwise the person who proposed the marriage may have already broken through the threshold, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
The imperial study of Weiyang Palace
The emperor was in a very good mood, and Gao Zheng on the side was also smiling with the emperor. And the next Shaoyuan, Gao Chong, the prince, Xiaoyue, and the princess looked helplessly at the characters of the two fathers and laughed there.
"Interesting, interesting, senior brother, it's a pity that you didn't come to the early dynasty today, you didn't see Zhang Situ's old puppet pulling Hi Taichang's expression, it's really funny" The emperor smiled
"The minister also thought that he would often speak out to dissuade him, but he never thought that he would be stunned all morning, accident, accident" Gao Zheng also admitted that he had indeed miscalculated.
The emperor said to the crown prince, "Emperor, these two senior brothers, martial arts and tactics are the best among their peers, and he will also be the pillar of my dynasty in the future, while they are still in Luoyang, you should study hard, understand?"
The prince arched his hand and said, "The child understands"
At this time, the princess said, "Father, your daughter is so cooperative today, are you reluctant to have your daughter?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Reluctant, reluctant, you, you are really the heart and soul of the emperor"
Shaoyuan said at this time, "Your Majesty, my wife and I plan to leave for Saibei after watching the rain prayer ceremony in two days."
The emperor nodded, "So, I know that you originally planned to leave, if it wasn't for saving me Ting'er, I would have already gone back, and I won't force me to stay, with my golden order, the states and counties along the way need to be entertained with you"
Shaoyuan and Satsuki kowtow "Thank you, Lord Longen"
Seeing this, the emperor waved his hand, "You all step down first, I still have important matters to discuss with the Marquis of Dingyuan."
"Obeyed" a few juniors left one after another.
There were only two people left in the Imperial Study.
The emperor saw that there were only two people left, so he sighed and said, "Senior brother, when can you return to the court, that old man is becoming more and more arrogant, although Sikong Lingdan is a famous man in Hebei, and Luoyang also has Dingjian Pavilion, but he can't resist Zhang Situ's big roots." Lord Xu is getting old, but I'm afraid that it won't last a few years. ”
Gao Zheng sighed, "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't want to, but now the south is a little settled, if the ministers return to the court, I'm afraid that the southern forces that have been suppressed for many years will raise their heads again, and the consequences will be unpredictable."
The emperor also sighed, "I didn't expect that the southern forces were so complicated, and they couldn't calm the turmoil for more than ten years."
