This kind of auspiciousness has never appeared since I ascended the throne. It happened twice during the late emperor's reign, but it was so long ago that I forgot about it.
An ordinary white porcelain bowl and a small tea cup contained such shocking auspiciousness.
Today, I am also excited as I stare at the tea cup. I am so excited that I want to wave my arms high. However, he is the emperor, the Supreme Being, how can he be so rude.
He recalled the several serious disasters in the Yellow River. Empress Dowager Pei forced him to write an "Edict on Sin" to appease the people. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still had to say that he was "stupid and ignorant, had failed in politics, and had made mistakes in his actions." It is extremely unvirtuous to fail to govern and nurture all living beings, and to impair the brightness of the three rays of light."
What is wrong with him?
The Queen Mother, Si Chen, refused to return power to him, and allowed the Pei family to occupy the court and act arbitrarily, which was truly immoral.
But he didn't do anything, but he issued an edict to sin against himself, and even had to avoid the palace and reduce his meals.
After the death of Empress Dowager Pei, the floods in the Yellow River continued. The imperial censors also asked him to issue edicts to punish himself, and they always used "the clearness of the Yellow River" as an excuse.
The censor was as annoying as the Empress Dowager Pei. He even suspected that the censor had been taught by the Empress Dowager Pei and would break his head to remonstrate at every turn.
Now it's better, the Yellow River is finally clear, and the mountain of guilt has finally been removed from his body, and he no longer has to apologize to God for this.
He is not guilty!
Jin Shang showed a smile and stroked the white porcelain man. After all, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart and said loudly: "Okay! Guangyu has won my heart!"
King Li Guangyu of Yan received this praise and immediately knelt down to explain his feelings towards his father, while the ministers secretly thought about the weight of this sentence.
King Yan has won the emperor's heart. Could it be that His Majesty already intends to make King Yan the crown prince?
Jin Shang's words stirred up a thousand waves, and the courtiers were secretly sizing up King Jin and King Yan. However, Jin Shang was immersed in joy and had no idea that his words had brought about such a big reaction.
He was still not satisfied.
At this moment, Zhang Rui stood up and stood in the main hall. He shed tears and knelt down on the ground: "The Yellow River is clear, and the saint has emerged! Your Majesty has managed the country well and blessed the people, which is why we have today's auspiciousness!"
Everyone stood up and knelt down one after another, and the sounds from their mouths became the echo of Prime Minister Zhang: "Your Majesty governs the country well and brings blessings to the people..."
There are also some sensible people who, while shouting long live, are wondering in their hearts: "Your Majesty governs the country, and it can be said that quack doctors cure diseases. Your Majesty prescribes medicines that harm the country, and quack doctors prescribe medicines that kill people. There is not much difference between the two. How can the Yellow River be paid off?" "
Either Wu Baozhi was instrumental in controlling the river, or this auspicious sign was just made up.
On the contrary, the King of Jin heard a sentence from his envoys: "If the Yellow River is clear, the upper reaches will be dry."
He thought carefully about what King Yan said about Chanzhou on the East Road of Hebei. The upper reaches are Hejian Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture. If there is a drought in these two prefectures, grain from the canal must be prepared in advance.
Jinshang was delighted amidst the deafening shouts of long live. His love for King Yan soared a thousand miles and he became his most beloved son.
Even for Zhang Rui, who was the first to kneel down, his doubts in his heart were greatly reduced. He thought that Zhang Rui was wrong in small parts but good in big ones. He understood his thoughts and was loyal.
The only thing that didn't remind him was King Jin and the Pei family who saved his throne during the fight.
The invisible auspiciousness shrouded the tangible hall, giving this year's Tianning Festival a completely different meaning. The confrontation between King Jin and King Yan once again decided the winner in a bowl of Yellow River water.
Jinshang became more and more excited and announced the start of the banquet. Mingchun, who was good at ventriloquism, performed a performance of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. Amidst the clear and high-pitched chirping of birds, Jinshang raised his glass for the first time and rejoiced with the officials.
Outside the palace, the Tianning Festival was also being celebrated, and the already lively Sanwaliangshe became more and more noisy. The Kyoto government officials lost their old father's shock and appeared on the streets one after another to have fun.
Shehuo even came out in full force, occupying all the major courtyards, trying to win a full house.
The Zhouqiao Night Market was crowded with people, and there were hundreds of people from the Bao Lao Club who came to "release the team". They built a high platform and danced Bao Lao on it.
The Bao Lao dancer stepped on his long sleeves for a moment and fell with his head on the ground. Then he rolled out three or four times and rolled to the side of the magician in the club. He stood up like a carp and made a show in front of his companions.
, full of ugliness, making people laugh.
Song Huiyue stood in the crowd, her eyes were like crescent moons with joy, she was holding a package of cakes in her hands, Yinxiao lifted it from left to right, her hands were full of refreshments, and she was carrying a package on her back.
As he passed by, he could smell the aroma of oil from the shortbread.
Mr. Bao jumped up and down and led out the girls who were dancing in the club.
The two girls, wearing scarlet coats, turned left and right, as fast as the wind, their skirts were as light as flying, and the fragrance flowed out from the corners of their clothes, which was intoxicating.
The two girls stepped hurriedly to the sound of stringed drums, turned around, and looked at Yin Xiao beside Song Huiyue at the same time, blinking at him and giving him a bright look.
While everyone was laughing, Yin Xiao stepped back, retreated behind Song Huiyue, and faded out of the sight of others.
At the same time, he whispered: "Forbidden Army."
Today, most of the Imperial Guards were in the palace, with the Kyoto Neixiang Army and Yamen officers mainly patrolling. The Imperial Guards were only watching from the fire-watching tower. At this time, they appeared in Zhouqiao. Maybe there were too many people in Zhouqiao, so the Imperial Guards came to inspect.
Song Huiyue calmly stepped back, all the way to the center of the crowd, then stood on tiptoes to look at the stage.
In the crowded crowd, Yin Xiao, who was wearing soap-colored shorts and hanging her head, became less conspicuous, and Song Huiyue's smiling face was also lost in the many smiling faces.
Yin Xiao lowered his head, hiding a sharp knife in his sleeves, and carrying Song Huiyue's slingshot in the bag on his back. Song Huiyue had a mud ball hanging around her waist, and was wrapped in a turban and cloak. Both of them were dressed simply.
If the Imperial Guard discovered it, it would not be able to withstand careful interrogation.
Li Changfeng, a member of the Forbidden Army, walked by Bao Laoshe, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He intuitively felt that there was something strange in the crowd, as if there was an aura of chilling mixed in, which was completely different from the peaceful scene in front of him.
He immediately turned his head, his eyes like daggers piercing the crowd.
However, he looked back and forth several times and never saw anyone acting suspiciously.
After walking out of the night market, he looked back frequently, but still found no clues, so he had no choice but to go back and told his men not to be careless to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation. He also had to guard the various companies, offices, and many tile markets to prevent others.
Arson.
Everyone responded and went to the fire-watching tower separately to continue watching what was going on in the city.
Kyoto is vast, and the Forbidden Army divided it into twenty corners. Each corner has a four-story fire watch tower, which is guarded by government officials on weekdays, but tonight it was guarded by the Forbidden Army. Each corner is equipped with about a hundred people.
Xiang troops and government officials patrolled in groups of ten.
Li Changfeng climbed up to the Fire Watch Tower near the Imperial City and stared at Panlou Street, Quanhe Street, Zhouqiao, and Daxiangguo Temple beside the building.
In particular, the residences of Prime Minister Zhang and others were also within his focus.
The sound of singing and dancing continued, and the laughter soared into the sky. He could even hear the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra coming from Ouchi. Although it was very slight, it still penetrated his ears.
Everywhere you look, you can see bright lights, fluttering flags, crowds of people, and mountains and seas.
