The mountain god is huge, even if it is just a clone, it is tens of feet tall, making it inconvenient to worship in the imperial city; the river god cannot leave the water, but there is an inland river in the imperial city, but it is too dirty, full of rubbish thrown by the residents of the imperial city, so beautiful The female river god worshiped in the garbage dump, which was not only unsightly, but also damaged the dignity of the dynasty. Therefore, the place of worship for the mountain god and river god was chosen on the city wall tower at the east gate of the imperial city, so that the mountain god could stand When worshiping outside the city, the river god can worship in the moat.
The Queen Mother and the new emperor traveled together with great fanfare, and were followed by thousands of people, including eunuchs and maids, guards with swords in front of the emperor, hundreds of civil and military officials, envoys and guests from various vassal states, and Jinwu guards.
The patrol battalion "cleared" a main street but did not completely "clear it"... To put it bluntly, people were not allowed to walk on this main street but were not allowed to leave. They had to line up and stand on both sides of the street, facing each other. The Empress Dowager and the new emperor paid tribute, and at the same time, they also wanted to show the people's aspirations of the dynasty to the envoys from the vassal states.
The common people are also accustomed to being "tool men". As the orthodox human race, the Daqian Dynasty is also the suzerain state of all vassal states, so it is normal to show off.
Bai Yu rode alongside King Nan, King Ning, and King Mian of Jin, followed by Concubine Yi and the new emperor's Feng Hu and Long Hu. The whole procession was like a long dragon, stretching from the palace to the east city gate.
Bai Yu found that the eyes of the people were all focused on him, whispering to each other, thinking about it, they couldn't see the Queen Mother and the New Emperor in the car, so they could only look at him.
"The youngest prince is Prince Ming. He is really young and promising."
"He is only twenty years old at most, a few years older than my concubine, but not as old as my legitimate son. My legitimate son has just passed the scholar examination. Although passing the examination is like picking something out of a bag, it is not difficult to become a Jinshi. The title on the gold list is just around the corner. If you are lucky, you will be admitted. It’s not impossible to become the number one scholar..."
At first I thought you were praising King Ming, but later I realized that you were actually praising your own family...having legitimate sons and concubines means having wives and concubines, and legitimate sons and daughters are still promising.
Arrive at the east gate and climb the tower on the city wall.
At a glance, there are more than two hundred clones of the mountain god standing outside the city, as if they have arrived in the country of mountain giants.
In the moat, there are more than a hundred female river gods with beautiful faces, long black hair spread dozens of feet, and their bodies are wrapped in mist.
Bai Yu noticed that all the mountain gods were male, and all the river gods were female. Maybe when he made the edict, he considered that "the heavy mountains are male, and the soft river is female".
The old eunuch's melodious voice sounded, "Gods of mountains and rivers from all directions, pay homage to the new emperor, the Queen Mother!"
With a loud "rumbling" sound, more than two hundred mountain gods knelt down together and performed three obeisances and nine kowtows. The sound was so powerful that it shook the sky, "Long live my emperor, long live my queen, and my queen mother is a thousand years old."
Immediately afterwards, there was a splashing sound in the moat, and more than a hundred female river gods knelt down and worshiped, shouting together with their beautiful voices, "Long live my emperor, my queen mother, a thousand lives, a thousand lives, a thousand lives."
The envoys from various vassal states were shocked by this grand scene. The civil and military officials did not know. Anyway, they were quite shocked. After all, it was the first time to see so many mountain gods and river gods coming to Beijing to worship. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In fact, the envoys from the various vassal states were also shocked. There are also mountain gods and river gods in the vassal states, but the territory is too small. It is already very good to have two or three mountain gods and river gods, and they are so high up that even the kings of the vassal states don't pay much attention to them. Where can I see them? After such a scene of hundreds of mountain gods and river gods surrendering, this is the foundation of the human race's orthodox dynasty.
This is also understandable.
The kings of the vassal states do not have the authority to confer mountain gods and river gods, let alone remove the mountain gods and river gods. Regardless of their status or strength, the mountain gods and river gods are not afraid of the kings of the vassal states.
If the mountain gods and river gods are provoked, the mountains collapse and the ground splits, causing trouble, and the people of the princes and kings die, the princes and kings still have no choice but to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods and river gods, and they can only worship them like "big men" and quickly build the temple. , the incense cannot be cut off...
The new emperor and the Queen Mother of the Daqian Dynasty are different. The rules governing the dynasty system can cut off the status of the mountain god and river god in one sentence, making him an untitled "wild god", and his cultivation and strength will be greatly reduced. , if he harbors a grudge and dares to cause chaos and chaos, he is doomed. The dynasty can send other mountain gods and river gods to surround him and kill him.
For the envoys from the vassal states who come to the capital to worship, the imperial court needs to appease and give rewards. For these mountain gods and river gods, there is no need for rewards. Concubine Yi looked at the more than 200 mountain gods and said, "When you return the same way, you need to get some rewards." Be careful not to trample farmland, damage roads, or accidentally injure people."
More than 200 mountain gods said "yes" together.
As for the River God, there is no need to give any instructions. The River God only has the figure of a woman and walks along the waterway, so it will basically not affect the common people.
A mountain god who was obviously much taller than the other mountain gods walked out with heavy steps, bowed his hands to Concubine Yi, and said, "I have three questions for you, the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain, and I would like to ask the Queen Mother."
Tianzhu Mountain was the first mountain in the imperial dynasty, and the mountain god was the first of all the mountain gods. It was highly respected and respected. When Emperor Taizu founded the country, the first mountain god he consecrated was the Tianzhu Mountain Mountain God.
Concubine Yi chuckled and said, "If the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain has any questions, it doesn't matter."
Tianzhu Mountain Shinto, "The first question is, summoning us mountain gods and river gods to the capital to worship. According to the ancestral system of the dynasty, it should be the new emperor's decree. Why is it the Queen Mother's decree? The second question is, in today's government affairs, the new emperor Does the Queen Mother have the final say, or does the Queen Mother have the final say? The third question is, if the Queen Mother takes control of the government, when does the Queen Mother plan to return power to the new emperor, or does she not plan to return power?"
These three questions can be said to be heart-breaking every time!
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty changed drastically.
The other mountain gods and river gods looked at the Tianzhu Mountain God in horror.
Everyone present was also silent.
The eyes of the envoys from various vassal states were shining with excitement. They went to the capital to pay homage to the new emperor. They wanted to take advantage of the "weakness" of the dynasty's fortune to show off their power. However, they lost eight consecutive games in the competition and their spirits were shattered.
However, they did not expect that there would be such a big "surprise" in worshiping the God of the River in Guanli Mountain. The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain helped them do what they could not do!
The head of the mountain god, questioning the Queen Mother in public is more effective than any other show of power!
Concubine Yi's beautiful eyes turned cold instantly, and she first looked at the fifth prince of the new emperor. The eyes of all the civil and military officials also looked at the fifth prince of the new emperor, and they had to be suspicious.
The new emperor's fifth prince changed his expression and quickly explained, "Mom, please calm down, I definitely did not instruct the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain to say these words, and I don't know what his intentions were when he said these words!"
The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain cupped his hands and said, "To the Queen Mother, these three questions are not authorized by the new emperor, nor are they ordered by anyone. They are just my own wishes."
"presumptuous!"
Bai Yu calls himself the Queen Mother's "eagle and dog's claw". If the Queen Mother is inconvenient to speak, he will do it. If the Queen Mother is inconvenient to speak out, he will do it.
He looked at the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain coldly, "If you have anything to say, you can't wait until the worship ceremony is over before reporting it to the Queen Mother. You have to question the Queen Mother in public and sow discord between the Queen Mother and the new emperor. I think you have ulterior motives and bad intentions. , His heart is worthy of death!"
The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain glanced at Bai Yu and spoke slowly.
"Prince Ming doesn't need to put such a big label on me. I have no ulterior motives or bad intentions, nor do I sow discord between the mother and son of the Queen Mother and the new emperor. I just think about the Daqian Dynasty."
"According to the ancestral system of the dynasty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."
"If the new emperor is young, the Queen Mother can indeed listen to the government. However, the current new emperor is not a young son. The new emperor is already over 20 years old and has fully reached the age of pro-government. What reason does the Queen Mother have to listen to the government?"
"As for why I want to question in public instead of reporting in private? I have also considered, if I report to the Queen Mother in private, will the Queen Mother listen? I can only ask in public, and the Queen Mother will consider it carefully."
"I know that the Queen Mother's phoenix is a big phoenix, and the new emperor's dragon is a small dragon. Due to the Queen Mother's strength, the new emperor dare not speak, the civil and military officials dare not speak, and other mountain gods and river gods dare not speak."
"I am the first mountain god personally consecrated by Emperor Taizu, and I am also the head of all mountain gods. If even I dare not stand up and say something fair, who else dares to stand up? Wouldn't the ancestral system of the dynasty become a decoration? "
"Today, the Queen Mother is in charge of the rules of the dynasty system. With one word, I can remove my status as a god, and with one word, I can have all the mountain gods and river gods surround me and kill me. But I still have to say, please abide by the Queen Mother and Emperor Taizu." According to the ancestral system, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the government is returned to the new emperor!"
After saying that, the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain knelt down and kowtowed.
Concubine Yi looked cold and was unable to step down. If the new emperor issued a "sinful edict" and explained that he favored the layman Xuanyi, she could justifiably obey the government. However, the new emperor was her biological son after all. When the civil and military officials and the people of the world know that the new emperor is just as fond of heretics as the old emperor, the civil and military officials will feel chilled, and the people of the world will also call the new emperor a coward, fearing that the new emperor's position will not be stable.
Moreover, there are more serious consequences. It’s okay for the old emperor to be a coward, and the new emperor is also a coward. Generation after generation of cowards will make the people of the world despair. They may be incited by people with ulterior motives to rise up and set the country on fire. The already weakened empire has reached the bottom of the valley. The fortune of the dynasty has further declined, and the consequences are unimaginable.
The civil and military officials were silent. They didn't know about the new emperor's favor and trust in the layman Xuanyi. The Queen Mother suddenly took over the government. In fact, they were very repulsive in their hearts. But the new emperor didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to say anything. But now, the God of Tianzhu Mountain Putting the matter of the Queen Mother's administration on the table in public coincided with their wishes. They hoped to take this opportunity to return the Queen Mother to the new emperor and bring order to the chaos.
Bai Yu frowned. If the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain had ulterior motives, it would be easier to deal with it. He would just kill him. However, every word spoken by the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain is well-founded and upright. He will speak out and give advice even if he is not afraid of death. Killing a loyal minister will have a very bad impact.
Su Jinhua walked quietly to Bai Yu, gently stood on tiptoes, and whispered in his ear. Bai Yu really wanted to pick up Jinhua and take a bite. Jinhua was not only beautiful and fragrant, but also his good wife.
