Buzz! As soon as Master Huiqing finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. Dongfang Chen's expression also became a little unkind.
"Oh? Master Huiqing, tell me, what taboos did I commit in choosing my concubine? Why did Master stop me?" Dongfang Chen's face darkened, but his voice was quite calm.
"Amitabha. Your Majesty, the poor monk has been observing the sky recently and discovered that there are strange phenomena in the sky. A great disaster will befall our great Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, it is not appropriate for the Emperor to choose a concubine at this time. Instead, he should bathe, fast, and chant sutras for seventy-seven and forty-nine days.
, to eliminate the wrath of heaven and prevent disaster from happening." Master Huiqing stood with one hand on his chest and twisted the Buddha beads.
Dongfang Chen's face turned livid. Master Huiqing's words not only prevented him from choosing a concubine, but also implied that he had offended God, so God wanted to bring disaster to Dayuan.
Dongfang Chen's voice couldn't help but become colder: "I wonder what the catastrophe Master Huiqing is referring to is and where will it happen?"
However, Master Huiqing did not seem to notice Dongfang Chen's displeasure at all, and still said the Buddha's name unhurriedly: "Amitabha, please report to the emperor, according to the observation of the poor monk, a huge earthquake is about to occur in the Zhuozhou area.
"
"Earthquake?" A look of confusion appeared on the faces of the civil and military officials, chewing on this somewhat unfamiliar term.
Dongfang Chen also frowned in confusion and said, "What is an earthquake?"
"Your Majesty, the so-called earthquake refers to the turbulence of the earth under our feet, which may crack, collapse, rise, or spurt flames... In short, the earth under our feet will change its original form, and everything attached to it will
They will be destroyed, including trees, houses and people. Therefore, the poor monk asked the emperor to immediately organize the migration of the people in Zhuozhou area to prevent them from falling into a place of eternal disaster." Master Huiqing bowed slightly and said in a solemn voice.
Buzz! The ministers were in an uproar again, looking at Master Huiqing with bewildered expressions.
Dongfang Chen's face was cold, and there were two icy angers in his eyes. He looked straight at Master Huiqing, as if to see his true intention: he knew that many officials and aristocratic families did not want their daughters to enter the palace, so, this old man
Did they jointly invite the monk to prevent him from choosing a concubine?
"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter is of great importance. I would rather believe that I have it than not believe it. It is better to postpone the selection of the concubine." Commander Qi of the Forbidden Army took a step forward and spoke loudly.
"What nonsense!" Gongsun Jing, the Marquis of Anguo, snorted coldly, stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is nonsense. I have never heard of any earthquake. I believe that the civil and military people here
The officials have never heard of it. On the contrary, the emperor chooses a concubine to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family, which is a matter of course, and they use some nonsense reasons to prevent the emperor from choosing a concubine. I wonder what Master Huiqing and Commander Qi have in mind?"
Gongsun Jing was still thinking about letting his daughter Gongsun Xue enter the palace to bring benefits to the Gongsun family. How could he just watch the selection of his concubine be cancelled?
Hearing this, Dongfang Chen's face brightened slightly.
General Lin Qishan's face darkened, he stepped forward and retorted loudly: "What An Guohou said is wrong." After saying that, Lin Qishan bowed to Dongfang Chen and continued, "Your Majesty, I thought that Hui
Master Qing, as an eminent monk of the Huguo Temple, has always served the country and the people, and will never talk nonsense. Therefore, I agree with Commander Qi’s words and ask the emperor to think again."
