Chapter 25: The Sacrifice
When the song and dance receded, everyone was still unsatisfied, Yang Xuerao looked around at everyone and proposed: "I have heard that the song and dance of Huizhou Xiaoyao Tower is a must in China, and the owner of Zhen Lou is a leader, why not take this opportunity to dance in the main hall and let me wait for a while?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone present applauded, Luo Cheng frowned when he saw this, and he didn't know what Yang Xuerao was thinking for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhen Yuelou got up and saluted when she heard this: "The folk girl has been infected with a small illness recently, and it is reluctant to come here to the banquet, I really don't dare to show my ugliness in front of all the adults, please let the emperor know it!"
Yang Xuerao was unforgiving: "It's a good intention to invite me sincerely, it's a pity not to see the amazing dance of everyone Zhen, is it possible that Boss Zhen is so stingy and looks down on everyone in the palace?"
One word stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on Zhen Yuelou's body, Situ Lei was about to go crazy, but was suppressed by Luo Cheng, he got up and said: "The emperor is too arbitrary, Aunt Zhen's illness Luo knows best, it is really difficult to recover without ten days and half a month of rest, please raise your noble hand, just let Aunt Zhen go this time!"
Since Luo Cheng took the matter on himself, everyone was helpless, Yang Xuerao smiled slightly and had to give up, Luo Cheng took the opportunity to glance at Chi Qingfeng, Chi Qingfeng immediately got up and said: "Your Majesty, I was invited by the Moon Mansion to participate in the martial arts conference, and now that the conference has ended, it is time for me and other senior brothers and sisters to leave." I drank a few glasses of water and wine just now, and now I am drunk, and I can't help but show my ugliness, Qingfeng asks to leave the table and return, please allow Your Majesty!"
Before Luo Cheng could answer, Yang Xuerao waved her hand and said, "I still have important things to discuss with you." Please wait a moment!"
Chi Qingfeng couldn't refuse, so he had to sit back again, and Luo Cheng arched his hand when he saw this: "I don't know what the emperor has to do." Luo Mou listens!"
Yang Xuerao couldn't hear the resentment in the other party's words, she waved her hand and said, "Lord Luo, please take a seat, I will talk in detail!"
Ji Na also saw the smell of gunpowder, but she was very happy in her heart, this fox girl didn't know which tendon was wrong, and she actually competed with Luo Cheng, and the princess's hanging heart was finally relieved.
Needles can be heard in the main hall. Yang Xuerao looked around at everyone and said: "Last year, the reports in various cities in Luojing were not peaceful, the dealers in various places had failed harvests, and livestock and poultry died one after another. The animals in the forest are almost extinct, and even a few wild beasts can not be seen in the hunting grounds on the outskirts of Luojing, which are all signs of impending catastrophe, and it is believed that this is the case throughout Shenzhou. Chi Daxia. Am I wrong?"
Chi Qingfeng groaned slightly, nodded slowly, and said, "The emperor is wise, and the situation in Leizhou is not much better!"
Luo Cheng's Beichan Temple does not have such troubles, anyway, the land to which it belongs is a corner of the White Mountain, the mountain is lush all the year round, and no one hunts birds and beasts, almost flooding, he never expected that the situation in the states would be like this. At the moment, he said anxiously: "Then Your Majesty has a good way to save the people from fire and water?"
Yang Xuerao shook her head and said: "Natural disasters are unstoppable by manpower, and there is no cure according to past experience. The only thing we can do is to build a high platform and pray for mercy from the heavens!"
Seeing that everyone in the seat was deeply convinced, Luo Cheng said angrily: "Except for praying to heaven, we can't do anything?"
Yang Xuerao explained: "As the emperor of Great Xia, of course I will allocate funds for disaster relief, but in the long run, even if the palace is full of gold and silver, it will be a drop in the bucket, not to mention the famine, thieves are rampant, merchants hoard goods and sit on the ground to start prices, prices are soaring, even if you have money, you can't buy much food!"
Luo Cheng's heart was half cold when he heard this, he sat back in his chair and muttered: "When the famine came in the past, how did the state capitals deal with it?"
Everyone was silent, even Yang Xuerao seemed to be unable to speak, and Chi Qingfeng, who was at the head of the city, explained in a low voice: "In the past, the governors of various states would close the city gates and wait for the catastrophe to pass, and the people outside were powerless and couldn't control it!"
"What?"
Luo Cheng got up angrily and said, "Just watching the people die of hunger and cold, we didn't even care?"
Yang Fan, the new governor of Yanzhou, teased: "The master of the martial arts alliance really has the world in mind, so hand over these refugees to the lord of the Luo League to govern, maybe they can also seal you a Buddha of ten thousand families!"
"Yang Fan!
Without waiting for Luo Cheng to fight back, Yang Xuerao said angrily: "As the governor of Yanzhou, you should introspect your words and deeds, you should go back to me to reflect, Zhang violently obeyed the order, put Yang Fan under house arrest in the mansion, and come back to me in a month, if he doesn't change his life, I can't spare him!"
"Yes!"
When Yang Fan was still panicking, Zhang Bang had already strode forward, directly dragged the second ancestor out of his seat, and directly erected the hall.
The cry was still in her ears, Yang Xuerao's face suddenly softened, and she looked at Luo Chengdao: "I haven't done anything benevolent since I took the throne, so I invite the leader of the Luo League and several heroes of Xiaoyao Sword Village to discuss, and everyone brainstorms to see if there is any good way to tide over this difficulty!"
Situ Lei whispered behind Luo Cheng: "It seems that this Nizi already has a way, but she just needs your kid's approval, this bend is far enough!"
Luo Cheng smiled slightly, and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"
Yang Xuerao was puzzled: "I flipped through the collection of books and saw a method of sacrifice on an ancient book, which recorded the scale of the disaster and the effect of the sacrifice in detail, I think I can give it a try!"
Chi Qingfeng arched his hand and said: "The sacrifice has been recorded as early as 10,000 years ago, but the record in the book is inevitably exaggerated, I don't know which ancient book the emperor saw it!"
Yang Xuerao nodded slightly down the steps, Ji Jingwen immediately took out an ancient parchment book from the maid and handed it to Luo Cheng to circulate, Luo Cheng quickly flipped through the classics, and found that the text on it was really obscure, but looking at the portrait on it seemed to be no different from what Yang Xuerao said, he looked at it for a long time and handed the ancient book to Chi Qingfeng on the side......
Chi Qingfeng took the ancient books and studied them carefully, and he could see that he was very slow to read them one by one, and after a stick of incense, he raised his head and said: "What this classic describes should be a plague more than 3,000 years ago, when almost half of the human beings in the land of Shenzhou died, and finally the five sages of the world set up a tower to worship, so that the heavens could have mercy and sprinkle nectar, so that people could expel the disease and multiply!
After saying that, Chi Qingfeng passed the ancient books downward, and the participants shook their heads when they circulated them, most of them didn't even know how to read like Luo Cheng, and they didn't dare to express their opinions at all, and finally the ancient books returned to Yang Xuerao's hands, she put them away carefully, and said in a coquettish voice: "Since everyone has no opinions, and I have made up my mind, I will build towers in various states to pray for the blessing of the gods, and the Lord of the Luo League and everyone from the Xiaoyao Sword Village can make it convenient!"
