Emperor Rende kept looking outside the palace, looking a little uneasy. Gao Bao laughed secretly when he saw it. The emperor had this look that he had seen when the first prince was born.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xian, Mr. Huimin County would like to see you." The little eunuch came in and said Qian.
"Announce it, announce it quickly." Emperor Rende quickly ordered.
After the young eunuch went down, Gao Bao came forward to refill the tea and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Since Prince Xian is here, I think this is true."
Saying this, Qi Shiqi strode in, threw down his sleeves twice, and pretended to kneel: "I have seen my emperor, long live my emperor. Long live my emperor."
Tian Minyan followed closely behind him and also knelt down to salute: "My daughter has seen the emperor, may the emperor be blessed and safe."
"Get up, you are all standing up. What time is it? Why are you still saluting? Seventeen, please get up quickly and tell me, what is the reason for the rain in the suburbs of Beijing?" Emperor Rende raised his hand, as if he had just seen Tian Minyan, and was a little surprised.
Ranran asked: "Why is Mr. Huimin County here?"
"Brother Imperial, it is indeed raining in the suburbs of Beijing, but it is this girl who caused it." Qi Shiqi said calmly.
Emperor Rende was inexplicably shocked. He looked at Tian Minyan who was standing there with a low eyebrow and said, "How do you say this?"
Qi Shiqi then explained the process of rainfall briefly and quickly, and finally said: "As for the principle behind it, I don't know."
Tian Minyan said at this time: "Back to the emperor, this is the warm cloud effect. I once read in a book that in ancient times, wizards prayed for rain like this, beating drums and setting fire to the ground at high places, heating up the temperature of the clouds and
flow, thereby achieving the purpose of rainfall.”
"Oh? There is such a book?" Emperor Rende's eyes flashed a few times.
"Brother Emperor, when I traveled around the world, I also saw people dancing to the gods to pray for blessings. I think what Mr. Huimin County said makes sense." Qi Shiqi said at this time.
"That's exactly what it is!" Tian Minyan raised her head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has great blessings in the sky, and he is the true Dragon Emperor. This time he personally went to the sacred mountain to pray for rain, which moved God. God gave me the rain clouds in the south. If it weren't like this, this would
I'm afraid it won't rain, because this is the rain that the Emperor personally requested."
"Oh?" Emperor Rende heard what he felt in his heart and said, stroking his beard: "You said I asked for this rain myself?"
"Back to the Emperor, of course it is. In the past days, the sun was as bright as fire, and there were no clouds in the sky. No matter how hard the fire burned and the drums were played, the rain could not come down." Tian Minyan lowered her head and said respectfully: "However, the Emperor came back to offer sacrifices to heaven.
, then the rain clouds piled up. This was caused by the Emperor’s sincerity that moved God.”
There was a moment of silence in the Yangxin Hall. Tian Minyan lowered her head and looked at the golden floor, motionless, but there was a slight chill on her back.
Isn't this flattery going to be photographed in front of me? She said it so much that even she felt sick.
"Qi Shiqi, do you think it's my fault?" Emperor Rende looked at Qi Shiqi, narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Brother Emperor, I think what Lord Huimin County said is true." Qi Shiqi said with magnanimous eyes: "There is a saying among the people that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. If the emperor does not go to the sacred mountain to worship the sky, there will be no rain clouds.
, naturally there is no rain.
Immediately afterwards, he knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor was worried about the country and the people, and moved God, so he asked for rain."
Tian Minyan also hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Long live my emperor."
Emperor Rende looked at the two of them and suddenly laughed out loud and said: "You two have a close tacit understanding when singing together, but you have a good conversation outside the palace gate?"
"Brother I don't dare."
"This is what I say from the bottom of my heart."
Emperor Rende laughed again, and Gao Bao also curled his lips and reminded: "Your Majesty, Prince Xian and County Lord Huimin are sincere, so please don't let them kneel."
"That's right, you two, get up quickly." Emperor Rende shouted hurriedly, as if he just remembered.
Tian Minyan got up with a wry smile. The worst thing in ancient times was that she had to kneel at every turn, and her knees would suffer again.
Emperor Rende sighed again, walked down, walked slowly to the door of the palace with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky and said: "You think I am the real dragon emperor, but the people think that this drought is caused by God."
To punish me."
Tian Minyan pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, Rong Chen's daughter responded freely."
"you say."
"The common people are ignorant and do not know that man-made disasters can be avoided and natural disasters can stop them. Human beings are made of flesh and blood and can never resist the cruelty of nature." Tian Minyan said thoughtfully: "The common people have relied on mountains and water for many years. In addition, if there is a disaster,
The price of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea will naturally rise on the spot. The common people have no money to buy it. Even if they do, the high price will prohibit them. This causes panic and anger, and then they say inappropriate words. Please consider this, Your Majesty.
They are ignorant and hope that the emperor will show mercy and forgive them."
Regardless of whether it is ancient times or modern times, once there is a natural disaster, prices will inevitably rise. Those poor people will naturally be dissatisfied and blame the people in charge.
In fact, the common people are the most honest people, and they pay attention to living and working in peace and contentment. As long as they can live a life without starving to death, it is the same no matter who becomes the emperor. What they say about being unkind to the emperor is actually mostly forced.
Emperor Rende raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "You are dedicated to plead guilty for the people. Do you know if this is God's punishment for me?"
After hearing this, Tian Minyan hurriedly knelt down and said sincerely: "Since the emperor came to the throne, there have been peace of war, trade routes have been opened, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, creating a prosperous and prosperous era in the Southern Kingdom. When I was in the village, I often heard people from the older generation say,
There were a lot of wars in the past. How could we have such a good life now if we had a good meal but not a good meal? It can be seen that the stability of the Southern Kingdom is only possible because of the emperor's good leadership."
Emperor Rende looked at her head. There were no complicated jewelry on it, only a hairpin, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Huimin is a sweet-tongued person, so please be healthy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tian Minyan thanked you and said with sincerity in her eyes: "Your Majesty, what I said is true. With the rain, those rumors have been self-destructed. There is no doubt that the Emperor is a wise king in the prosperous times.
.”
Her eyes were filled with sincerity, bright and dazzling.
Emperor Rende smiled and said to Qi Shiqi: "I just now discovered that Huimin County Lord has a pair of good eyes. He is indeed worthy of the title of Huimin."
Tian Minyan blushed after hearing this and lowered her head as if shy.
Qi Shiqi smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I am also the emperor's wise brother."
Emperor Rende smiled, looked at the sky and sighed: "Although it is raining now, it is because of the favorable weather and location. I don't know when the rain will really fall."
"Brother, don't worry. Qin Tianjian said that nectar will fall from the sky in a few days."
"What the prince said is true. Your Majesty and your servants also believe that the rain will fall soon." Tian Minyan agreed.
