When Shi Miyuan was about to promote Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism to Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, there was a commotion outside Daxiangguo Temple.
Zhao Bai's first thought was Song Ningzong's safety, and he and An Gonggong protected Song Ningzong one after another, and asked Feiyu to go and see what happened.
After a while, Feiyu ran back.
"I report to the emperor that some people are praying for a good harvest next year."
When everyone heard this, their faces became very happy.
"Since the people are praying for a good harvest, we might as well go and take a look."
Song Ningzong said this and was about to go when he saw Shi Miyuan's expression change slightly.
Xue Ji was whispering something into Shi Miyuan's ear.
"Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to go."
When Shi Miyuan said this, Song Ningzong stopped.
Although his face was not very pretty, he still asked: "Why did Aiqing say this?"
"Your Majesty, praying for a good harvest is a conversation with God. This kind of thing should be done by Your Majesty, the proud son of Heaven. Only your prayers will be heard by God and we will be able to have a good harvest in the coming year."
Seeing that Song Ningzong's expression softened slightly, Shi Miyuan said again.
"Furthermore, I believe that for the sake of the emperor's safety, we should not join in such a fun."
Shi Miyuan's eyes fell on Zhao Bai, "Although the Song Dynasty is now peaceful, we still can't rule out that some people want to rebel and cause rebellion, and take advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's patrol to do something unfavorable to the emperor."
When Zhao Bai saw Shi Miyuan saying this, his eyes were staring at him, and he felt very funny in his heart.
"Shi Gong, what you said is wrong."
"Oh, brother emperor, you should tell Shi Aiqing where he went wrong?"
Song Ningzong looked impatient.
"The emperor's prayers for the people to have a good harvest in the coming year will naturally move heaven. But if the people pray spontaneously, this kind of wish is more powerful. When God hears it, it will naturally take action and satisfy the people's requirements."
Zhao Bai smiled slightly again.
"As for what Shi Gong said, someone took advantage of the opportunity to harm the emperor, that is even more ridiculous."
Shi Miyuan's old face turned red with anger.
"Brother Imperial, please tell me, how ridiculous is Shi Aiqing?"
Song Ningzong became interested and urged Zhao Bai to continue.
"Back to the Emperor, only a few of us in the Xiangguo Temple know that Your Majesty is out on patrol incognito, so how could anyone ambush here in advance to harm the Emperor? Unless Shi Gong thinks that Bai wants to murder the Emperor?"
Shi Miyuan smiled awkwardly and said: "The general is really good at saying that your sincerity towards the emperor is well known to the world, so how could you do such a treasonous thing?"
Shi Miyuan originally thought that he had given Zhao Bai a step down, and Zhao Bai should just stop and let the matter go.
Who knew that Zhao Bai laughed loudly and then said: "Since Bai has no intention of murdering the emperor, is it possible that the person with evil intentions mentioned by Shi Gong is yourself, Shi Gong?"
The lethality of this sentence is really too great.
When Song Ningzong heard this, his expression changed drastically and he stood up from his stool.
Shi Miyuan had no choice but to kneel down on the spot: "Your Majesty, my feelings for the Emperor are as clear as the sun and the moon."
Song Ningzong was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
He reached out and helped Shi Miyuan up.
"Aiqing, you are too serious. Brother Huang just made a joke with you, Aiqing." He turned around and said to Zhao Bai, "Brother Huang, the one I rely on most now is you, the Sixth Emperor and Shi."
I love you so much, and I hope you can serve me and the people of the Song Dynasty together."
"I will live up to your Majesty's trust."
After some overt and covert fighting, Song Ningzong no longer had the interest to join in the fun.
He waved his hand, signaling to return to the palace.
Unexpectedly, the noise outside the temple was even louder.
You can faintly hear someone making wishes there.
Song Ningzong suddenly became interested again, turned around and walked towards the wishing pool.
Outside the wishing fountain, more than a dozen people formed a circle. Inside the circle was a large pot with some paper money burning in the pot.
There was a wizard-looking man dancing around the cauldron, mumbling something.
Naturally, Song Ningzong could not understand what the wizard was saying, but he saw that all the people sitting around had serious expressions and their eyes were full of reverence.
Song Ningzong actually felt a little jealous in his heart.
"Feiyu, go find a commoner and ask what the wizard is talking about?"
Feiyu responded and left.
After a while, he returned to Song Ningzong.
Before speaking, he glanced at Shi Miyuan.
"Your Majesty, the common people don't know the wizard's spell, but Fei Yu asked why they wanted to perform such a sacrifice?"
"Why?"
"Feiyu boldly asks the Emperor to tell you this matter in secret."
Song Ningzong laughed and put his ear close to it.
After Feiyu finished speaking, Song Ningzong's expression changed drastically.
The muscles on his face trembled and he said slowly: "Let's go back to the palace."
Shi Miyuan followed Song Ningzong out, but hinted at Xue Ji with his eyes.
Xue Ji naturally understood what Shi Miyuan meant, and deliberately took a step back, wanting to wait until everyone left to question those who were praying.
Seeing this, Zhao Bai also whispered to Xiao Shan beside him: "Captain Xiao, this mass gathering is not a big deal, but the fact that they formed such a circle around the wishing pool really disturbed others.
Take a few brothers with you and let them disperse."
When Xiao Shan heard this, he immediately led a few police officers to the praying people.
Soon, those people dispersed and left.
When Zhao Bai saw everyone passing by him, he took a look at Shi Miyuan's face.
Although Shi Miyuan kept smiling and talking to Song Ningzong, his eyes when he glanced at the crowd were full of sinister looks.
Zhao Bai couldn't help but be startled.
He called Xiao Shan and whispered a few times in Xiao Shan's ear.
Xiao Shan nodded frequently and walked out of the side door with a few detectives.
Send Song Ningzong back to the palace.
After Zhao Bai made sure there was no one behind him, he quickly rushed back to Daxiangguo Temple.
He came to a side room and opened the door.
"King of Zhennan."
Dozens of people in the room were sitting on the floor. When they saw Zhao Bai come in, they all stood up and exhaled in unison.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
Zhao Bai looked around and nodded to everyone.
Someone had already laid out a futon for him in the middle of the house.
"It's okay to work hard for this performance, but I'm afraid our hard work will be in vain."
There was obvious anger in Sun Xing's words, and he glanced at Fei Yu fiercely.
Feiyu acted as if he didn't see it and just wiped the flying knife in his hand.
"Brother Sun is probably angry because Feiyu didn't say the wizard's words loudly to Ning Zong, right?"
Zhao Bai smiled, "This time, I think Feiyu did the right thing."
Seeing everyone's astonishment, Zhao Bai added: "Brothers, you also know that the emperor has no power to fight against Shi Miyuan's power now. If Feiyu speaks out the spell of the wizard brother, it is tantamount to exposing Shi Miyuan's crime.
, At that time, Shi Miyuan was not the only one who was embarrassed. "
