Chapter 1,127 After twelve years, Jiajing came to court again
"Yohoo!"
A jade dragon shuttled through the clouds, it was the dragon girl who had eaten and drank enough.
As expected, under the care of the ginseng fruit, the first batch of spiritual food matured in more than a month, with a total of ten spiritual pears and thirty spiritual dates.
The quantity was not much, so I tasted the freshness first, three spiritual pears and ten spiritual dates. The dragon girl, who had been hungry for a long time, ate them very deliciously. It was more delicious than digging bamboo shoots and picking fruits in the purple bamboo forest.
Li Yan ate two spiritual pears and five spiritual dates. While savoring them, he stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands, observing the rainy clouds in front of him, and asked: "How do all kinds of weather maintain after the gods and Buddhas disappear?"
of?"
In fact, the dragon girl was also curious. After all, the dragon clan is responsible for moving clouds and rain. She quickly gave the answer: "I can feel the divine power remaining, traveling between heaven and earth, moving wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and moving the four seasons and eight seasons..."
Li Yan nodded and his eyes moved slightly: "Then, can you make this rain stop?"
The dragon girl walked around the treasure ship and said, "Of course I can. I am the princess of the West Sea. I have learned a lot from my father! But... I have an uncle who went on a wrong journey and reduced the number of rains. He was ordered by heaven to...
I'll kill the person, Cao Guan, I stopped the heavy rain... Nothing will happen, right?"
Thinking of that negative example, the dragon girl was not confident. At the end of the sentence, her tone was obviously a little scared.
Li Yan knew that the uncle she was talking about was none other than the Dragon King of Jinghe.
The wife of the Jinghe Dragon King was the sister of the Sihai Dragon King. After she was beheaded by Wei Zheng, the dragon girl's father, the Xihai Dragon King, took in his widowed sister and one of his sons, Xiaotu (tu) Long.
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the Jinghe Dragon King also had nine sons, and they all held important positions. "The first little yellow dragon lived in Huaidu; the second little Lilong lived in Jidu; the third green-backed dragon lived in Jidu.
to Jiangdu; the fourth red-bearded dragon, guarding Hedu; the fifth fuwu dragon, with Buddha Sizhong; the sixth stable beast dragon, with the priest Zhenji; the seventh Jingzhong dragon, guarding Qing with the Jade Emperor
Tianhuabiao; the eighth mirage dragon is occupying Taiyue at our elder brother's place"...
The smallest dragon, the dragon, has the most roles. He is also the monster in Difficulties of Nine-Nine-Eighty-One, occupying the Blackwater River, causing trouble, and capturing Tang Monk.
The dragon is not very capable and can only fight to a draw with Sha Seng. However, because Wukong is not good at underwater combat, he finally goes to mobilize reinforcements and lets Prince Mo'ang of the West Sea Dragon Palace subdue him. The actor who plays Prince Mo'ang in the TV series,
He is also the actor of Wukong in the sequel to Journey to the West.
At that time, the Dragon Girl was still beside Guanyin Bodhisattva, holding a pearl and being leisurely. She had no impression of the Dragon King seeking death, but the lesson of the Jinghe Dragon King was too profound.
In fact, she didn't need to say it, Li Yan had considered the example of the Jinghe Dragon King, and what he said was not just a whim: "Heaven is closed and has no contact with the human world. Now all the solar terms are running on their own, and there are no gods in rain, snow, and thunder."
Move out."
"Logically speaking, it doesn't make sense that you would be targeted and punished by heaven just for letting the rain fall, because the Jade Emperor didn't issue a decree, so there is no such thing as your uncle's situation of reducing the number of rains."
"But everything should be done just in case. Fortunately, the moisture in the city of Beijing has almost dissipated. Even if you don't show up, the rain will soon stop. It's just a good idea to try this."
The dragon girl breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out it's about to stop, then it's up to me!"
Breaking through the clouds, it snaked out.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty, the dragon appears.
Once there is no cover, the dragon girl's slender body like white jade is very eye-catching compared to the dark clouds in the sky. As long as the angle is right, you can completely see the winding and undulating figure in the sky.
"That is……"
"dragon?"
"Grandpa Dragon King appears! Grandpa Dragon King appears!!"
The news spread to ten and hundreds, and soon the people in the city were excited.
No matter they were dignitaries or common people, they came to the streets in the heavy rain and bowed one after another: "I hope Grandpa Dragon King will bless me! I am willing to offer incense and make offerings!" "Please Grandpa Dragon King, please accept this rain! It can't rain again! It can't rain anymore.
Got off!"
Although he had mistaken the gender, Li Yan noticed a rising power of faith and will heading towards the sky.
This dragon girl, who had not erected any statues or offered sacrifices to gods, had her first group of followers.
He is also very sincere in mind.
When the news spread further, it alarmed all parties.
Jiajing immediately dropped the alchemy furnace and went to the highest pavilion in Xiyuan under escort. He looked up through the window and saw the dragon body in the clouds really come into view.
"There are divine dragons! There are immortals who live as long as the heaven and the earth...there are also gods! Okay! Okay!"
As a result, the expression of the Taoist Emperor seemed peaceful, but in fact, the hands in his sleeves were tightly squeezed, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back. He was extremely excited.
Lu Bingze led the thirteen Taibao gathered in the capital to conduct a search for illegal activities in various Taoist temples. He also looked at it under the reminder, and his eyes were surprised: "This is the dragon! She is indeed the daughter of the Dragon King! Mr.
Finally entered Beijing!"
Yan Shifan was walking towards the concubine's courtyard in the twentieth room of Xina. He stopped and looked up, full of curiosity: "Is there really a Dragon King in the world?"
Tao Shien was originally full of confidence due to his father's encouragement. He raised his head and looked at the sky. His face quickly turned pale and his lips trembled: "Li Shizhen actually let the dragon girl create such a battle?"
In the blessed land of the Tianshi Mansion, Tao Zhongwen opened his fingers slightly, and a relic emerged. The bright light seemed to be able to dispel the endless darkness, and it also showed the scene above the capital.
The Shenxiao Heavenly Master stared at the Dragon Girl, with deep hostility and inexplicable yearning in his eyes: "Dragon King of the Four Seas...Daughter of the Dragon King..."
But before he could take a closer look, the orb flickered and the scene disappeared.
Earth-shaking cheers rang out.
"Oh - the rain has stopped! The rain has stopped!!"
"Grandpa Dragon King appears! Grandpa Dragon King appears!!"
Just when the Jade Dragon appeared in the clouds and soared in the sky, it was not called a torrential rain, but the rainfall was definitely not small. The rain did begin to subside at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a quarter of an hour, the entire capital stopped raining. When the sun broke through the thick dark clouds and shone brightly on the earth, the city cheered and became a sea of joy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Compared with Jiajing's worries about the outbreak of disaster and the shortage of the national treasury, the continuous rain has more direct harm to the people, whether it is crops or floods, they cannot withstand this.
Now that the rain has collected, the Dragon King has appeared, which naturally makes everyone ecstatic.
Looking at the rainbow rising in the sky, Jiajing's expression couldn't be suppressed. Thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind, and finally a high-pitched voice sounded: "Notify the officials and prepare to go to court!"
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
Not to mention other people, even Lu Fang was startled, almost thinking that he heard wrongly.
If it were any other emperor, when major events happened, they would make announcements at the court meeting, but when Jiajing went to court, it was unbelievable...
Since the Renyin Palace incident, this master has lived alone in Xiyuan and devoted himself to practicing Taoism. It has been twelve years and he has never been to court again.
Naturally, Lu Fang didn't know that there would be another thirteen years until Jiajing's death, a total of twenty-five years without going to court.
Later, there was Wanli, who learned from this imperial grandfather and did not go to court for nearly thirty years, basically ruining the country.
Compared to twenty-five and thirty years, twelve years may not seem like much, but it is already a long time, enough for everyone in the palace to form a habit. It is no wonder that when Jiajing issued this edict, he sent everyone around him to do so.
Everyone was shocked.
It was Lu Fang who was the first to react, and couldn't help but said with joy: "Your Majesty's great blessings are all over the sky. This is really a great joy for all the people. I will immediately inform the cabinet and prepare the six ministries!"
"Let all the officials wear the Liang Guan Chi Luo of the Great Court!"
Jiajing smiled and warned, admiring the rainbow rising in the sky: "Although there will be wind and rain in my Ming Dynasty, I will finally see the flying rainbow. This is a happy day!"
The real dragon collects the rain and brings blessings to the Ming Dynasty. This is beyond the scope of auspiciousness and is a real affirmation.
If you want to show it in front of the ministers, and more importantly, tell the world, you will naturally have to hold a court meeting. How can you continue to live in Xiyuan?
If I hadn't expected such a scene before, I should have made preparations when I learned that Li Shizhen brought Long Nu to Beijing, not only for a court meeting, but also for a large court meeting.
It's a pity that time is too short...
In fact, when Lu Fang quickly notified all the ministries, he found that the court meeting alone was already in a hurry.
The fundamental reason is that they have not gone to court for twelve years, and all the officials are used to the days without court meetings. They were notified all at once, and they were confused at first, and then went to look at the clothes worn by the court meetings.
It has been custom-made since the Hongwu period. For great sacrifices, celebrations, Zhengdan, winter solstice, holy festivals, issuance of edicts, opening of readings, entering tables, and transmitting, they all use beam crowns, red Luo clothes, leather belts and ribbons, and white stockings and black
shoe.
Of course, even if there are no patches on the chest and no rank in the civil and military ranks, it can still be distinguished by the leather belt and ribbon. The most conspicuous thing is the number of beams on the crown.
Among the titles, the duke's crown is eight beams, the marquis' and uncle's seven beams are all crowned with a pheasant tail, and the consort's crown is seven beams without a pheasant tail.
Among officials, the first rank is seven beams, the second rank is six beams, the third rank is five beams, the fourth rank is four beams, and the fifth rank is three beams.
That's it for now, those who can be present must be at least fifth grade, the following six or seven grades are not eligible.
"Quick! Quick! Turn the robe inside out!"
There were many servants in the Yan Mansion, so they quickly found a seventh-grade beam for Yan Song and a third-grade fifth beam for Yan Shifan. Then they helped Mr. Yan Ge get into the eight-carriage sedan. Yan Shifan got on his horse and hurried to the Forbidden City.
.
The people were still cheering and praying along the way. Whether it was Yan Song who was sitting in the sedan chair and taking a nap, or Yan Shifan who was full of energy and observing everywhere, similar thoughts came to his mind: "The news of Dr. Li's arrival in Beijing is higher than expected.
It’s too big, and if it doesn’t make a sound, it will become a blockbuster!”
When we arrived outside the Forbidden City, there was still a mess in front of the Meridian Gate. Fortunately, Lu Bing stood up, and the Jin Yiwei and the Supervisor of Ceremonies worked together to summon all the ministries and organize the team as quickly as possible.
The responsibilities of the Jin Yiwei originally included ceremonial duties. The flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife gifted by the emperor were also for standing beside them and looking particularly good-looking.
This time they are responsible for leading the guards, ceremonial guards, and music directors.
All the royal guards were dressed in uniform armor, holding golden melons, axes and axes, holding high banners, and lined up from the Meridian Gate to the Danqi of the main hall.
Jiaofangsi's band arrived, and the animal husbandry brought out the horses, rhinos and elephants that they usually kept, and lined them up on both sides of the Huangji Hall.
The Censor of Correction of Yi, who specializes in correcting the appearance, words and deeds of all officials, was busy at work, and officials such as those who passed down reports and made announcements were also in their respective places.
"Are you here yet? Wait another half-quarter of an hour. If you haven't come, don't come!"
When Tao Zhongwen and Tao Shien arrived at the Meridian Gate, they heard Lu Bing's loud voice maintaining order at the scene, and then quickly discovered the two of them.
Under the side glances of all the officials, the Grand Governor walked swiftly and with barely concealed hostility, he came to the Tao family and his son, and said with a cold face: "Master Tao!"
Although he knew his father had a way to deal with this man, seeing the tiger-like man standing in front of him, Tao Shien lowered his head unconsciously and did not dare to look at him. Tao Zhongwen bowed calmly: "Captain Lu!"
"snort!"
Lu Bing would not cause trouble at this time, but he was too lazy to even clasp his fists, and turned around to arrange other officials.
Under the stern urging of the Jin Yiwei, the Chief of Ceremonies and the Censor, the loose team of officials finally regained some form. The thick and melodious sound of bells and drums sounded in time, and the Meridian Gate slowly opened.
All the officials entered from the left and right gates, came to the east and west of Danqi, and stood in awe facing the north.
"Your Majesty, take off!"
At the same time, Jiajing, who had put on his uniform and dragon crown, finally came out of the Xiyuan. Accompanied by the great music played, the driving officer walked in the front. The officials of Shangbaosi followed behind holding the imperial seal in their hands. The imperial chariot escorted by the Jinyi Guards followed.
From behind, we headed towards the Huangji Palace together.
Fortunately, this palace, which had not been in court for twelve years, was not in dilapidation, and the servants kept it clean.
When Jiajing sat upright on the dragon chair, the bright fan in the palace slowly opened, the bead curtain slowly rolled up, and the imperial seal was placed behind the treasure case, a vast and solemn atmosphere immediately filled the air, and the imperial authority returned in the most orthodox way.
"Scheduling!"
In a burst of chaotic steps, the officials formed a formation entering the palace, lined up neatly, and entered one after another.
Really entering the place of court meeting, Yan Shifan, Tao Shien
This kind of person who was not qualified to go to court twelve years ago has an attitude more of curiosity.
Yan Song, Lu Bing and other officials were moved by his feelings.
Especially Mr. Yan Ge, who was in a trance when he walked tremblingly into the Huangji Palace holding an ivory wat.
Fortunately for him, just as Jiajing personally issued an order to suppress the Japanese, this court meeting was just for Shenlong to enter the capital. It was short-lived and would not really become a routine.
What made him uneasy was that the person who caused all this, Li Shizhen, came to the capital in this way and looked less and less like Xianyun Yehe...
"Shanhu!"
Without thinking too much, the voice of the praising officer echoed in the palace, Shao music played, and all the officials knelt down and saluted Jiajing: "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
In the past, Jiajing had no reaction when he heard the minister's congratulations to the monarch, because there was no real long-lived emperor in history, but now that Shinto has revived, in this unprecedented period, it may no longer be a blessing...
"Everyone loves you!"
All the officials stood up and listened to the holy edict, but just as Jiajing was about to speak, his eyes suddenly froze and he stood up from the dragon chair.
This move made all the officials in the palace astonished. They subconsciously followed the gaze of this long-lived man and their expressions were instantly moved.
Because a white beam of light descended from the sky and landed in front of the Imperial Palace, from which two figures stepped forward.
