PDLP Chapter 163 Pray for blessings
Chapter 163 Pray for blessings
The emperor can say whatever he wants, and his subordinates can only help cover it up.
The director of the Imperial Observatory was feeling miserable, but he couldn't say anything because he was now in a difficult position both inside and outside.
If a drought does come, he will be a jinx.
If the drought doesn’t come, then he is just teasing everyone and has no power.
In a nutshell, the emperor is really a bully.
He feels so miserable, but he can't say it out loud. How pitiful.
"You only want me to prepare in advance, but what should I prepare? Should I prepare to report my crime to the world?
When I asked you to give me some advice, you all kept silent. Where is your ability to speak so eloquently on weekdays?"
Looking at the emperor's furious expression, no one except a fool would respond. Whoever speaks at this time will be in trouble and may even be demoted three levels.
They'd better behave themselves and not be the first to stick their neck out and bring bad luck upon themselves.
The ministers endured the scolding in silence, and everyone remained calm.
Whenever the emperor wanted to do something, he would always create a difficult problem and then scold his ministers before he could tell them what he thought.
It is really not easy to be a subject nowadays. Why do they live such a hard life?
Sure enough, after being scolded for a whole cup of tea, the emperor finally took a sip of tea and took a breath.
It was a rare opportunity to scold the minister, so he cherished it very much.
The emperor sighed after he had scolded her to his heart's content.
The ministers’ backs tightened. Here it comes, here it comes!
"I want to build the Star Picking Tower, and you all say that I am wasting money and manpower."
Minister: ...Who dares to say it!
At most they thought about it in their hearts and complained a little, but no one said it out loud.
However, everyone knows that the emperor is really a worm in their stomachs.
"Humph! Who can understand my heart for the people? I am the Son of Heaven, and the people of this world are my subjects. Don't I feel anxious when I see them suffering?"
"We are terrified! We are incompetent!"
The ministers bowed their heads. Are you anxious? They didn't see it.
It is really not easy to be an official in the court. They feel like they are just actors on the stage.
"I think the continuous drought must be a sign of displeasure from the gods. I am going to personally go to the Zhaixing Tower to pray for blessings!
Although the Star-Picking Tower has not yet been completed, it is still the highest place in Kyoto and the closest to the fairyland. As my subjects, you should accompany me there. "
The ministers really didn't expect that their emperor came up with this idea after thinking for a long time.
Can't you just issue a confession of guilt?
If it is a confession of guilt, they don't need to accompany him, the emperor can do it alone.
They didn't want to go to the Star-Picking Tower at all. After all, it hadn't been built yet.
But the emperor has spoken, and the imperial preceptor is also in the hall, with an immortal look. Do they have the right to refuse?
No!
"Your Majesty's sincere prayers will surely move the heavens, and sooner or later, they will send down sweet rain to dispel the sufferings of the world!"
Everyone can understand why the national teacher is so positive, after all, this is the meaning of his existence.
Although the ministers did not want to go, they could not disobey the emperor's order.
Can they still disobey the order?
Not only the ministers have to go, but also the heads of each family have to go, and even the princes and concubines have to sign a contract together.
When the queen heard the news, she almost stuck the embroidery needle into her hand.
This emperor is becoming more and more outrageous. That evil imperial teacher should have been killed long ago!
He could actually bewitch people to such an extent, making the entire court a laughing stock!
pray?
That is not a good thing. You have to kneel in a room the size of a palm, and you don’t know how long you will stop kneeling.
It would be better if she was the queen, but her father and brothers would suffer.
The drought is severe, who knows when it will rain.
Do they have to keep praying if it doesn’t rain that day?
The queen was very angry, but there was no other way but to prepare as many things as possible.
As a result, everyone in the court and the country was alarmed.
After all, we are going to pray for blessings, and we don’t know how many days it will take, so we have to prepare some food and drinks.
The women in each family prepared food and change of clothes, but who could have imagined that the guards in the imperial city had given the message that they were not allowed to take anything.
Since you are going there to pray, you must be sincere and you are not allowed to bring any of these things.
Not to mention food and drink, you are not even allowed to bring any spare clothes. The palace will prepare them for you.
The family members were all stunned. Is this a blessing?
Aren't the ministers being locked up and interrogated?
But there is one thing to be thankful for, it is not just a certain minister, but all the ministers, so there should not be any big problems.
When Liu Rumei heard the news, she just thought that Manager Wang was a really good person.
With so much time, she can do a lot of things.
According to the contents of the book, the rain will come in half a month, which means they have to continue praying for another half a month.
This half month is your chance.
"How long will it take for the prince to arrive?"
"The news sent back by An Yi will arrive in Kyoto tomorrow."
"Really? How many thatched houses are left to be built?"
"There are still five hundred households left. It will take about three days."
Liu Rumei nodded. Fortunately, the time difference was about the same.
"Girl, the river water has dropped dramatically in the past few days."
When Zhenzhu said this, Liu Rumei looked at the weather outside and found that it was indeed too hot.
"Don't worry, there will be a heavy rain within half a month."
"Really? Girl, can you read the sky?"
Zhenzhu found it unbelievable that even the Imperial Observatory did not dare to speak out.
The emperor was so scared that he went to pray for blessings, but their girl actually knew everything.
Their girls are really amazing! Pearl admires them very much!
"I can't read the sky, I can just tell the future."
Liu Rumei's words surprised Zhenzhu. The girl was good at fortune-telling! Did the girl really calculate these?
"So what do we do next?"
"Take care of the victims first, and then make plans after the prince arrives."
"Yes girl!"
Pearl was very proud that her daughter was so amazing that ten men were not as smart as her.
Just when Liu Rumei was about to go out, she suddenly saw her biological father at the door.
It's really strange. This guy just got a beautiful bride recently. How could he have time to bring bad luck to himself?
"You, you unfilial daughter!"
Liu Rumei looked at the other person and couldn't help but smile.
"What's the matter with you?"
Marquis Jingning was so angry that his heart ached even more. This rebellious girl was so arrogant now!
"Tell me, are you following the idle king?"
Liu Rumei looked at Liu Hanjun. This guy actually cared about this? Is this important?
"You are so slow in getting the news. Did you only find out today?"
"You, you are shameless! You are a woman, how can you hang out with a man!"
"Isn't it possible? You asked someone to push me into this situation, didn't you want me to be a concubine in the prince's mansion?"
Marquis Jingning felt a little embarrassed when his past was exposed.
But he was only embarrassed for a moment, and then he cheered up immediately.
"The marriage of children is decided by their parents and the matchmaker! What's wrong with me arranging your marriage?"
Liu Rumei didn't want to pay attention to him, but looked at his expression.
"It seems that you haven't suffered much this month. Doesn't your heart hurt anymore?"
Marquis Jingning quickly backed down after Liu Rumei's direct threat.
