Chapter 1187: Cultivating to Perfection
Cheng Wujie returned to Tianzhang Pavilion, sat at the table, looked at a chilling cicada on the laurel tree outside the window, and carefully considered the origin of Banzai's move.
Hua Concubine had already married someone before entering the palace, and the last thing she wanted to publicize was Hua Concubine and Chai Yansheng. Because once this matter is confirmed, Hua Concubine will enter the palace as a husband to serve the saint, this is the crime of bullying the king, and not only will Hua Concubine not be able to keep it, but Chai Yansheng's reputation will also be greatly damaged, and he will stand on top of the court without shame.
If it wasn't for the mother and son, then who wanted to put Hua Concubine's mother and son to death? King Yi or King Tanjun? How did they know about this, it is said that no one who knows about this will leak the news......
Before Cheng Wujie could figure it out, An Guogong's old face suddenly came up from under the window, making him scream "ah" in fright, and broke out in a cold sweat.
His cry scared the cicadas on the tree, and the pen in Lu Zhengqi's hand in Tianzhang Pavilion also trembled, and an official document that was about to be transcribed was scrapped, Lu Zhengqi put the official document aside, looked at the window, and the third master's eyes also swept to Cheng Wujie, who was in a wrong mood.
"What is this doing!" Cheng Wujie asked An Guogong Zhuang Likun angrily, he was old, he didn't do things in the cabinet, but he was hiding under the window and was scary!
An Guogong's heavy eyebrows were twisted into a rope, and he waved the cicada trapping net in his hand, "A certain person has been squatting here for a long time to catch cicadas, and when Xiangye went in, he also greeted you, how did it become a scare Xiangye?" ”
Just now he was preoccupied, how could he notice Zhuang Likun in the shadow under the window, Cheng Wujie apologized, "Cheng has no form, please forgive Grandpa Guo?" ”
This cicada flew and looked for the side, An Guogong is not that childish. He folded the bamboo pole and lay on the windowsill, and asked curiously, "Master Cheng is absent-minded, was he scolded by the saint, because which case or which place is the fold?" ”
Cheng Wujie smiled lightly with Sven on his face, "The saint is a famous monarch through the ages, how can he scold his subordinates for no reason, Cheng is just impetuous because of the heat of this day." ”
An Guogong seems to be a rough branch, but in fact he is also a careful person, otherwise it would not be possible to stand tall in the court for decades. Cheng Wujie didn't say anything, so he didn't ask anymore, and talked nonsense with him about drought and rain.
Lu Zhengqi, who was concerned about the drought, wanted to interject a few words, but when he saw that King Sheng was engrossed in reading the excerpts, he endured it, and continued to copy and summarize the drought reports from various places on a different piece of paper.
From spring to summer, there was generally little rain in the northern states of the Great Zhou, and in some places even a drop of rain did not fall, the fields cracked, and most of the seedlings died of drought. There is no hope for the autumn harvest, and the peasants will have no grain to pay rent and eat at that time, so how can it not cause people to worry.
Of the 30 granges in the 11 northern prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, six of the cotton seedlings in the granges had died of drought, and the rivers on the sides of the 10 granges were about to be cut off, and the situation was critical. The distress letters from each village flew into the fourth village like snowflakes, and Xiao Nuan was also so busy in order to appease the stewards and long-term workers of the various granges, that he was so busy that even the posts of the palace's treats were written by Shuang Cheng.
Fortunately, the situation in Jixian and the capital is still good, although there is not much rain here, but fortunately there is still water in the river, and the farmland can barely be irrigated with a dump car, otherwise the mother will have to be in a hurry.
How long will this drought last? Although Xiao Nuan entered the Dao Gate, she couldn't understand the heavenly opportunity, so she simply went to the Heavenly Master Temple to ask the senior brother for advice, and it was better to make plans early if she asked about the situation.
Zhang Xuanya looked at his junior sister's ruddy face and bright Yin Tang, and said frankly, "Senior brother doesn't know either. ”
What the seventh senior brother can see, but the senior brother doesn't know? Xiao Nuan sighed that he had a specialization in the art industry, and felt that the gap between himself and the senior brother had narrowed a little, "Jiuqing took the liberty of disturbing the senior brother's study of the classics." ”
This little junior sister's cultivation is much better than the rest of the junior brothers. The more Zhang Xuanya looked at her, the more pleasing he felt to the eye, so he explained, "If the heavens are beautiful, the rain will fall, and the rain will moisten all things; If the heavens are not beautiful, the water will not fall, and all things will wither. Providence is unpredictable, and all we can do is do our best. ”
Xiao Nuan was taught, "Thank you for your teachings, Jiuqing wrote it down." ”
I had long heard the seventh junior brother say that although the junior sister was smart, she had no spirituality on the way to cultivation, Zhang Xuanya asked curiously, "Senior sister understands?" ”
"Well, Senior Brother doesn't know when it's raining, so don't guess what Jiuqing should do." Xiao Nuan briefly summarized.
Zhang Xuanya smiled, "That's right." ”
Xiao Nuan looked at the incense burner in front of the statue of Shizu and the incense burner full of incense ashes, and asked, "Then why do the people ask for rain, Yongfu Temple, Xuanmiaoguan and our temple should all be inherited, and go to pray for rain for the people?" ”
Zhang Xuanya said with a smile, "Under the whole world, there must be a great power that can call the wind and rain." But it's not in the three places that my sister said, and there is no such person in Beijing. When the people ask for rain, they want peace of mind and sustenance, and our practice is to make what the people seek to go to the great heavens, and they are also doing their best. ”
Mighty...... Xiao Nuan looked up at the clay statue of the ancestor, the heavenly master should be considered powerful, right?
She put incense on the ancestor very reverently, knelt on the futon and prayed silently, "Ancestor, no matter which island your cat eats fish on now, if you can hear the call of your disciple, quickly bring some rainwater." If the drought continues, the apprentices will have to be shops. ”
Zhang Xuanya leaned on the pillar in the hall, and his deep eyes also looked at his ancestor.
Coincidentally, late at night on the second day after Xiao Nuan gave incense to his ancestors, a strong wind suddenly blew the lanterns in front of the doors of the mansions and hit the eaves.
The wind ran into the house and got into Luo Wei, Xiao Nuan pushed the third master on his body, "The wind is up." ”
The third master answered, pulled Xiao Nuan's hand down and pressed it to his side, interlocking his fingers, so Xiao Nuan couldn't care about the wind or rain outside the window anymore.
A flash of lightning illuminates the night sky, followed by a thunderclap. Hua Concubine was "frightened" and fell into Emperor Jianlong's arms, Emperor Jianlong hugged his beauty, and said proudly, "It's just thunder, how old are you and afraid of this." ”
"Listen...... It's close. Concubine Hua stepped aside and explained in a low voice.
Emperor Jianlong pulled her back, "It's time to rain down, Xuanfu really has some ability." ”
During the day, Xuanfu climbed the altar to ask for rain, and at night there was lightning and thunder, and Emperor Jianlong couldn't help but look at him with admiration. If the Heavenly Master is still in the world, he can let them open the altar and fight the Fa, and divide them into high and low.
"Long live, the Queen Mother fell from the bed in fright, and the Imperial Doctor was passed on to the lamp in Cining Palace." Dexi whispered outside the curtain.
Emperor Jianlong immediately sat up, "Change clothes!" ”
The bed curtain was raised, and Hua Concubine, who was only wearing underwear, quickly changed clothes for Emperor Jianlong. Emperor Jianlong saw that her little hands were still trembling, and knew that she was still afraid, so he comforted, "Lei Naitian's anger is to punish traitors and evils, Shu'er is not afraid." ”
Concubine Hua helped Emperor Jianlong tie her belt and knelt aside, "The concubine is not afraid." ”
Emperor Jianlong took two steps and turned around, seeing his beauty kneeling on the ground alone, unable to bear it. In the past two days, she often had frightening dreams, and she had to hold herself to fall asleep, and she would not dare to fall asleep all night when she left.
So, Emperor Jianlong turned back again, took off the jade pendant on his waist and put it in Hua Concubine's hand, "This is my belongings, Shu'er takes it." ”
Hua Concubine caught it with both hands, but hung the jade pendant back on the jade belt around Emperor Jianlong's waist, and raised her eyes full of Yingying, "How can a gentleman have no jade with him, go quickly." ”
Emperor Jianlong couldn't help but touch her face before leaving quickly.
Dexi, who was standing on the side with his hands down, was frightened, and secretly said that this person in Chonghua Palace had already become a goblin after twenty years of practice, and he would have a good life in the future.
