Don't be crazy, don't wear fast

Chapter 411 The Black Sword Spirit of the Abandoned Prince ([-])

The emperor pretended to be sick because he was afraid of being scolded, and they were not fools, so how could they not be afraid?
So someone immediately played, saying that they hoped that the emperor would appoint another person to go to the ceremony of praying for rain instead.

This kind of thankless work is probably a headache for anyone. None of them who are used to being officials is not a fox-like human spirit.

They would never get involved in such a nomination that would cause hatred.

Rather than being hated by others, it is better to let the emperor make a choice by himself.

And the emperor really found a scapegoat for them, that is the fifteenth prince.

This result surprised the ministers a little bit.

Don't look at it as a simple replacement, the consequences after that are very serious.

They always thought that the emperor hoped that the fifteenth prince would inherit the throne in the future, but they didn't expect... It seems that they guessed wrong!
If the fifteenth prince really wants to inherit, the emperor will definitely find a prince with less important status to do this ceremony of praying for rain.

If they can't ask for rain at that time, the common people will only think that the prince is incompetent.

But if the fifteenth prince fails, if he still wants to fight for that position in the future, he might be delayed by this taint, right?

Because of an appointment, a different kind of undercurrent started to surge in the court hall again.

The emperor was actually taking a gamble. He bet that the little princess had just been accepted as a disciple by a fairy, and she had no chance to get the magic weapon that could bring wind and rain, let alone deliver that kind of thing to the hands of the fifteenth prince.

Then when the prince did not ask for rain during the rain-seeking ceremony, he would be the one who was unlucky.

As a prince, as the successor of the next emperor, he can't even do this, so why would he want to be a prince?

When the emperor thought of this method, he felt that he was really smart.

As long as the people let the officials see that the fifteenth prince is not as close to a fairy as they imagined.

The halo on his body will disappear, and his throne will be more secure!
When the fifteenth prince heard that the emperor had entrusted him with asking for rain, he was extremely angry in his heart.

He is not a fool either, of course he can see what is the meaning behind the emperor entrusting this matter to him?
However, no matter how angry he is, he must follow the emperor's will.

Let’s not talk about whether the rain can come, if he dares to leave the matter of asking for rain aside, he can guarantee that the emperor will definitely use this reason to make him never sit in that position again.

And even if his sister Xiuxian came back to visit him halfway in the future, the emperor would still be able to come up with a reason to prevaricate.

He would tell his sister that the [-]th prince himself was not strong enough to be supported by the people and the ministers. How could such a prince who was not supported by anyone be able to ascend to the throne?

To achieve this goal, his inability to ask for rain is the most important key point.

He absolutely can't let his future end here!
At this time, his confidant counselor gave him an idea.

The reason why the emperor handed over this matter to the fifteenth prince is that when the rain doesn't come, someone will take the blame for it?

So what if he recruited?

When a rain relieves the drought of the dynasty, the people will definitely give all their loyalty to this magical and great prince.

At that time, even if the emperor no longer wants to pass on the throne to him, he must obey the will of the people!
The fifteenth prince also understood what he meant, but what gave him a great headache was how could he bring the rain back?

He is not a fairy!

The counselor laughed: "It's not just gods who can ask for rain in this world!"

Hearing the counselor's words, the prince gasped.

hiss……

This counselor really dare to say it.

But, he likes it!

The fifteenth prince looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Yes, aren't there still ghosts?"

There are gods in this world, and naturally there are ghosts.

It's just that the gods are like the flowers of the high mountains, which make people look at them from a distance and dare not play with them.

The ghosts were born in the mud and mud, and they were shouted and beaten by everyone like rats crossing the street.

Li Xu and his sword spirit were still looking forward to how lively the day of Qiuyu would be because of his appearance, but they didn't know that the excitement was much, much more lively than they imagined.

Soon came the good day for praying for rain calculated by Qin Tianjian.

Whether the days they calculated were good or not, no one knew.

But everyone will still get some help from them before doing important things, even if it's just some comfort in the heart.

Under the emperor's decree, the fifteenth prince led all the civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven.

Someone there has already built an altar for this prayer for rain.

The fifteen princes, dressed in the costumes that the royal family would wear when offering sacrifices, climbed up to the highest point of the altar step by step, calmly and solemnly, along the steps carved from white jade.

He recited the sacrificial oration written by the minister aloud, devoutly chanting every word.

After reading the sacrificial oration, the fifteenth prince respectfully placed the sacrificial oration on the altar in front of him, then lowered his hands, and took two steps back very carefully.

If someone could see it at this time, they would find that he was holding two muddy beads with his hands hidden in his sleeves.

These are two pearls that are about the size of a copper coin and as round as pearls.

It's just that the inside of this bead is not pretty, and it even feels like it was pulled out of the mud.

However, these two beads are not ordinary objects, but a kind of props full of yin energy.

Its function is very simple, it is to attract violent storms.

However, the rain it brings is not a good thing, and it contains a lot of Yin Qi.

Ordinary people, if they drench in the rain for a long time, would definitely get seriously ill, and even die.

It's not that the fifteenth prince is unaware of this side effect, but he can't control that much anymore.

This time he prayed for rain, he must summon the rain, otherwise he would lose everything!
Seeing the sacrificial text on the altar table being moved twice by the breeze, he secretly gritted his teeth, and then squeezed the two beads with both hands to explode simultaneously.

Just as he was pinching the beads, a monstrous gust of wind suddenly blew up, almost overturning the altar on the Temple of Heaven to the ground.

"The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing!"

Under the altar, the civil and military officials and the common people couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Especially the farmers with farmland at home fell to their knees with tears streaming down their faces.

All the crops on their land are dying because of the drought.

If there is no more rain for irrigation, just relying on the little water they brought from the river that is about to dry up, it may not take long for all the crops to dry up and die.

By that time, all of them will probably starve to death.

Therefore, they are more devout than anyone else in praying for rain this time.

Now their devout prayers seemed to be having an effect, and there was finally a gust of wind in the sky where there was only a breeze at most for a long time.
