Tian Minyan did not say what kind of method she would use. She only asked Qi Shiqi to find a higher place in Kyoto. The location should be open, preferably in the countryside. In addition, she also prepared a lot of firewood and some firewood.
Exciting musical instruments such as gongs and drums.
Not only that, she also asked Qi Shiqi to go to Qintian Prison to help observe the weather, and she was also observing. On the third day after the emperor returned from his pilgrimage to pray for rain, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was so hot that people wanted to take off their clothes.
The body walks.
Tian Minyan asked Qi Shiqi to drag the people he had prepared before to the high ground he had found, and directed his people to pile dozens of piles of firewood.
Not only Qi Shiqi was strange, but the royal soldiers and other people he brought were also very strange and dissatisfied. What kind of thing is this? Are you still lighting a bonfire on a hot day?
Tian Minyan smiled and did not explain. In addition to having people build the bonfire, she also had people build a temporary rain shelter. When the torches were lit, she looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said to Qi Qi Qi: "It's time to light the fire."
Qi Shiqi raised his eyebrows and nodded to the person next to him. The person shouted: "Light the fire."
In front of each pile of firewood stood a person lighting the fire. Upon hearing this order, they all lit the torches around them as if they were commanding an army.
"Blow the drum." Tian Minyan said again: "Knock hard."
Suddenly, the sound of drumming shook the sky, and people with good intentions were startled when they heard it. They ran over to watch the excitement. Could it be that there was going to be a war?
The sound of the drums never stopped, and Tian Minyan asked people to keep adding firewood. For a moment, thick smoke billowed, and everyone in Kyoto saw the huge smoke. Some people thought there was a fire, and even guards came out on horseback to check.
Firewood kept adding to the fire, and people adding firewood ran back and forth. The already sultry air became even more sultry, as if people were being roasted on the fire, and everyone's face was dripping with sweat.
"What are you doing?" Tian Minyan shouted in unison.
Tian Minyan smiled at him, looked up to see the dark clouds rolling in the sky, and there was a hint of moisture coming from her. She felt happy and replied loudly: "It's going to rain, go and take shelter."
Qi Shiqi obviously didn't believe it, and still stood there, thinking that her method of praying for rain was unheard of. Fortunately, he didn't tell the emperor. Even if it didn't work, he should just play with her for a while.
A soldier came forward and asked Qi Shiqi if he wanted to continue? The fire had been burning for nearly an hour. What was going on?
Qi Shiqi didn't see Tian Minyan say stop, so he asked him to continue adding firewood.
Tian Minyan pointed to the awning not far behind her. Seeing that he wouldn't go, she stamped her feet and had no choice but to run over by herself, in case he got wet.
Just when Tian Minyan walked into the awning, suddenly one or two drops of water fell on the dry ground. They penetrated quickly, and then one drop, then two more, and then became denser.
"Miss, it's really raining." Jixiang saw clearly and almost jumped with excitement.
Tian Minyan hummed, but her eyes were staring blankly at the ground. One or two pellets did not count, they had to fall continuously.
Qi Shiqi frowned and suddenly felt a chill on his face. He was stunned for a moment and raised his head.
Is it really raining?
The rain seemed to be pouring from above. It suddenly became heavier, and raindrops as big as beans fell down in strings.
The sound of the drums suddenly stopped. The drummers, the people adding firewood, and the people watching all stood there stupidly. Is it raining?
Someone cheered. It was raining. Qi Shiqi turned around stupidly, saw Tian Minyan waving to him, and blinked.
Tian Minyan saw him standing there stupidly, refusing to come over, so she couldn't help but clicked her tongue, rushed over quickly, grabbed his hand and rushed into the awning, took out a handkerchief and fetched water on him, while complaining:
"Why are you just standing there?"
Qi Qi Qi looked at her fair little face, looking annoyed or angry. Then he looked outside the awning, the rain was falling, and people were cheering, spinning, screaming and laughing.
The long-lost rain!
Qi Shiqi withdrew his gaze, looked at Tian Minyan, his peach blossom eyes sparkling, and asked, "How did you do that?"
How did she know how to make rain happen in this way? How did she, a thirteen-year-old girl and a peasant girl, know that doing this would cause rain?
The doubts in Qi Shiqi's heart were getting bigger and bigger. Every time she did something, each layer of the mysterious veil was torn away, and another layer was added, which made him want to discover more.
Tian Minyan coughed, what should I say? Did she tell him something like warm clouds causing rain, or air flow? She couldn't even explain the reason.
"Is it from that foreign journal again?" Qi Shiqi saw her distressed look and raised his eyebrows.
Tian Minyan nodded hurriedly. Seeing his unbelieving look, she became a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and wrung her hands. Not to mention him, even she didn't believe it.
Qi Shiqi's eyes flashed, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said lightly: "The emperor is indeed the real dragon emperor. As soon as he worships the sky, the rain will come. When it rains, any rumors about the emperor's unkindness will come to light."
It will be self-defeating."
Tian Minyan was shocked when she heard this. As smart as she was, she didn't know the hidden meaning of these words, so she said: "What the prince said is that the emperor asked for this rain."
Qi Qiqi glanced at her sideways. Apart from anything else, he was very satisfied with this girl's intelligence.
In the Palace of Yangxin, Emperor Rende was looking at the reports of disasters from various places with a gloomy look on his face, his face as dark as the inkstone on the table.
Suddenly, a young eunuch rushed in and shouted: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Rende's face sank. This little eunuch didn't know the rules. He dared to yell in front of him in this place.
When Gao Bao saw that the visitor was his young apprentice Xiaoxia, and saw Emperor Rende's gloomy face, he secretly screamed, and hurriedly rushed in front of Emperor Rende and shouted: "I'm trying to kill you, where are you?"
You who are yelling, come on, drag me down, and hit twenty big boards again."
When the young Eunuch Xia heard this, he knew that he was getting further and further away from me, so he quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was overjoyed and forgot the rules for a moment. Please forgive me."
Seeing that the emperor still looked unhappy, Gao Bao said: "Nonsense, why are you so happy? Even the rules have changed." As he said this, he winked and signaled him to speak quickly.
Little Eunuch Xia didn't know what the master meant, so he immediately said happily: "Back to the emperor, it's raining outside, it's raining in Xitang on the outskirts of Beijing."
Is it raining? When Emperor Rende heard this, he stood up quickly, walked quickly to Eunuch Xia, and asked excitedly: "What did you say? It's raining in the suburbs of Beijing? Is this true?"
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to deceive the Emperor. It's raining, and it's raining heavily. Prince Xian is rushing to the palace to report to the Emperor!"
Emperor Rende was startled, and then he remembered the previous impeachment of the censor, saying that Prince Xian did not contribute to the government, but instead had fun, and recruited a large number of soldiers to go to the countryside with gongs and drums to have fun.
