One head here, three sticks of incense there, I fiddled with it in a Western-style manner for a while, and finally it was time to finally pray to heaven.
The yellow curtain incense table, three animals and five grains, the master of ceremonies' sandalwood incense, and two civil and military columns, a solemn and solemn atmosphere instantly filled the entire Qixia Temple.
For a moment, Zhao Xi also became serious, and he was really talking about things like good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
There is no way, the environment affects people.
Some rituals, even though they know they are useless and are just going through the motions, once they enter the ritual state, they can't help but get distracted and integrate themselves into that atmosphere.
Zhao Xi is like this now. He doesn't know whether praying to heaven will work, but he knows that he should be pious at this time. But otherwise, just for this trouble, for this large group of people to accompany him for a show, he should also be sincere
I went to pray that God would have mercy on the people of Guangnan... They were really in trouble!
The procedure was very complicated, but the master of ceremony mastered it just right. Before Zhao Xi could get impatient, the whole ceremony was over, and there was still a feeling of unsatisfied desire.
"Your Highness, attacking the Nong bandits is the top priority in Guangnan now. I would like to use Your Highness's time to pray to heaven to determine the success or failure of the attack..."
Uh... I almost forgot about the real thing. Qi Tian was just an excuse to let Di Qing use this stall to play tricks on people, which is the main topic.
This time, I was brought in by Zhen Zhi, and I almost announced that I was going back to the city.
"Can……"
"Your Highness, everyone, I have prepared a hundred copper coins and scattered them in Qixia Temple's Praying Hall for Heavenly Brightness. If the letters are facing up, then the attack on the bandits will be invincible. If..."
Someone should have dissuaded him, right? Di Qing paused at this point.
Zhao Xi also felt that someone should dissuade him... If no one spoke up, he would have to cooperate and let Di Qing finish the scene.
"Di Hanchen, how can you leave your military affairs to God..."
Fortunately, while he was praying to heaven, Sun Miao hadn't called out the ghosts or gods yet. But the tone when he called Di Qing was definitely harsh.
Yu Jing... Hehe, this old boy has an extra mind, especially things related to His Royal Highness, he will think about it. So, without saying a word, he just stared at Zhao Xi.
"Shuai Di, this must never happen..."
"Shuai Di, we relied on the bravery of our Western Army to kill the Nong bandits, not on..."
Huh? Fortunately, I didn't talk nonsense without any taboo. Zhao Xi was really worried that this rude man's talk would make him unable to cover up.
With some excuses, he might be dragged out and executed by these civil servants from Guangnan... After all, Di Qing had killed many colleagues from Guangnan.
Then... then Di Qing took out a handful of copper coins without listening to the advice...
"Your Highness, this is not feasible for Di Hanchen..."
"Di Hanchen...you dare to do this, Mian will report this to the court..."
While shouting, someone tried to stop Di Qing.
It just happened in a moment, and civil and military affairs got mixed up.
Those who followed the Western Army did not dare to come forward, but the generals from Guangnan were not polite and rushed over to seize Di Qing's copper coins...
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
Hehe, Di Qing did it purely on purpose. When someone came close to him, the copper coins in his hand fell away...
Stupid, everyone was stupid! Even Yu Jing was stunned! How could it be like this? One hundred copper coins, how could they all be face up?
But this time, this time it was all over! The copper coins were scattered like this.
"Literally facing up...this is literally facing up!"
"This one also faces upward..."
…
Everyone looked at the copper coins on the ground, and everyone said: The letter is facing up!
They all just stared at the copper coins on the ground, but no one dared to reach out and touch the copper coins on the ground.
Yu Jing didn't believe it and wanted to bend down to get the copper coins...
Hey, my uncle Yu, this is not the time to be serious.
"Bachelor, God's will is like this! We will use iron nails to nail the copper coins to Qixia Temple. When the thieves are destroyed, we will use them and offer them to God!"
Seeing Yu Jing's actions, Zhao Xi quickly said hello...
"Very good!"
Yu Jing's bending movement was stopped. When he looked at His Highness the Crown Prince again... he understood!
A group of people rushed out from the guard camp and nailed the copper coins three times, five times and two times... This is the biggest flaw in this game.
Pray to the heavens, the guard camp is responsible for honor guard and safety, so why are they wearing iron nails?
No matter it! Yang Wenguang has already led the entire general school to cheer again and again...
This scene... let's just make do with it, at least it can fool some people.
It was very effective. In Zhao Xi's eyes, this trick, which was full of loopholes, really improved the morale of the entire army... It's time to put the expedition on the agenda.
Chen Shu was defeated at Kunlun Pass, and Yang Wenguang was also trapped in front of Kunlun Pass. This means that Kunlun Pass should be the key to defeating the Nong bandits.
I have looked through all the classics in Guizhou, but they are all in a few words and cannot give people an image of what Kunlun Pass is like.
Therefore, it must be checked on the spot. Di Qing and Zhao Xi agree on this point, and they both feel that it must be seen with their own eyes.
Six or seven hundred miles away, even Lu Gongzhu opposed Zhao Xi's visit in person and felt that it was most suitable for Zhao Xi to be based in Guizhou. But Zhao Xi insisted. Not only that, he even moved directly into the military camp...
I think it's time for my memorial to arrive at the court, and the court should have an explanation for Ding Baochen and his group. In other words, it's almost time for the Mingfa report to arrive in Guizhou...
It didn't matter to Zhao Xi that he had tricked people, but the person who took the blame for his actions was in court, so these people would definitely come to him to beg him.
Before such a bastard received the scorn he deserved, Zhao Xi didn't want to reveal the mystery, but he couldn't even think of trying to compromise with these bastards again!
…
Pang Ji was impeached because the trivial matters of his children's in-laws were disturbed. So Fu Bi immediately had something to do when he returned to the court. As a political advisor, he took on the affairs of Xianggong Pang.
"Yanguo, is this matter really so obvious?"
Wen Yanbo was very dissatisfied with Yu Jing's memorial to the imperial court to send those who abandoned the city to the prefectures and counties.
Countless civil servants in the imperial dynasty fled before the soldiers. If they all operated in this way, many people in the court would be implicated.
"That's how it should be!"
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
"Kuanfu, Your Highness agrees and it goes without saying. As Xigu said, those who abandon the city and the people are not worthy of the title of scholar!"
"We have not arrived in Guangnan and do not know the real situation. Since Yu Xigu submitted a request, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seconded the proposal. For the sake of the front line, the imperial court only needs to give permission!"
After a few words, the decision was made. Mainly because I didn’t see what these two had to do with each other...
so……
These few people were attacked by rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in their villas and official residences in Guizhou!
This was just the beginning. When the Cuju newspaper also published the fact of abandoning the city, even their ancestral home had idlers blocking the door and cursing...
Originally, the clan members were proud to have such a Jinshi scholar in their family, but now he has become a figure that everyone shouts about.
Even village women would stop and spit when passing by the door to show their disdain for this scholar.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the military camp, and Bachelor Yu ignored them at all. The key is that they have to look like servants in green clothes even when they go out!
How long has this been going on? I thought that His Highness was right, but I never thought that the court would operate like this and cause such a big stir among the people...
