Jinyiwei's Killing God System

Chapter 337 Preparations for the Rain Prayer Ceremony
Yan Long said: "The character of King Xin is gentle, kind, respectful and thrifty, and he treats people and things more like a king, so naturally there are many supporters among the courtiers. If the prince's illness cannot be effectively controlled, even if the time comes It is not safe to sit on the throne and ascend to the Great Treasure smoothly."

Tian Qi listened, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

He looked at Yan Long, but Yan Long had a calm expression on his face.

After staring at it for a while, Tian Qi finally let out a sigh of relief and looked away.

What Yan Long said is true!Tian Qi also heard the meaning of his words from the cabinet ministers or Wei Zhongxian either explicitly or secretly.

Apocalypse didn't pay much attention to it at the time. He believed that as long as there was his will, it would be a matter of course for the prince Zhu Cijiong to succeed to the throne. But recently, his obsession was shattered by frequent conspiracies around the prince. It is very clear that there are many people who want the prince to die.

Now, Yan Long told him about the situation in the court in a more indifferent tone, but he was touched instead, because he felt that Yan Long was an outsider.

Key words from an outsider are often more credible than those from an insider because the outsider has no conflict of interest with them.

Of course, this is all Tianqi's wishful thinking.

Tian Qi waved his hand and said to Yan Long: "Okay, I know what you mean, you step back."

Yan Long's face showed a submissive attitude. After bowing to Tianqi, he withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

……

After three days, Tianqi still did not approve Zhao Nanxing's memorial.

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Zhao Nanxing felt as if a sharp sword was hanging in his heart. He felt uneasy, so he asked Ye Xianggao: "The emperor seems to have not made up his mind yet, Jinqing, what should we do?"

Ye Xianggao only replied with one word: "Wait!"

……

Three days later, Apocalypse summoned Zhu Youjian into the palace.

Just like when Yan Long was summoned to enter the palace, Tianqi handed the joint memorial of Zhao Nanxing and a group of officials to Zhu Youjian.

After Zhu Youjian looked at it, his face was ashen, and he kowtowed like garlic: "Your Majesty, my younger brother deserves to die for making the emperor so sad about his younger brother. Since all the ministers are so disgusted with my younger brother staying in the capital, then my younger brother should die." Fulfilling their wishes, please leave the capital and go to the fiefdom, but Jinan Prefecture is thousands of miles away from the capital, and whenever my disciples miss the emperor and the prince, they will feel sad."

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he straightened up and looked at Tianqi with tears in his eyes, but his eyes were actually carefully observing the changes in Tianqi's expression.

Tian Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed unmoved by Zhu Youjian's crying.

He said indifferently: "You Jian, you have been by my side since childhood, how can I not know your thoughts, your loyalty and kindness are well known in the world, but since it is made by our ancestors, we do It's not easy to disobey. It's rare that you have the painstaking efforts to share my worries, so I will help you. In a few days, I will issue an order to let you rush to the fiefdom of Jinan Prefecture. At the same time, in order to commend you for knowing the general situation and knowing how to advance and retreat, I will come again I will reward you with thousands of hectares of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold and silver as rewards."

After Zhu Youjian listened, he felt a chill go straight up his spine and rushed to his forehead, making him feel dizzy for a while.He originally thought that his rhetoric of retreating into advance would at least move Tianqi a little bit, but in the end he was expelled mercilessly.

He cried loudly and said to Tianqi: "The Emperor's kindness to Youjian, I will never forget it in my heart, and I dare not forget it in my life. During the time when I was not in the capital, I begged the Emperor to take care of the dragon's body, and I took my leave first. "

Seeing him like this, Tianqi's eyes were slightly red, and he wanted to go forward to help him up, but he stretched out his hand halfway, and finally retracted it, turning into a sigh: "Xin Wang, this is going to Jinan Mansion, the mountains are far away, and the road is far away. Take care of yourself too."

The letter king Zhu Youjian lay on the ground with his face down, and no one could see his expression clearly.At this time, a trace of hatred and coldness flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.He continued to cry: "Your Majesty, take care, Your Majesty is safe, my brother is gone." After finishing speaking, he got up, bowed his body and slowly retreated outside the hall.

Zhu You checked out the Qianqing Palace.

In the eyes of all the eunuchs, Gong'e, he wiped away his tears and walked out of the palace with a sad expression.On the road, he met some palace people or officials who saluted him, but he still returned the salute in a gentle and refined way as always.

After boarding the carriage, Zhu Youjian's tears stopped, he sat in the carriage, opened a small corner of the curtain, looked at the red walls and green tiles of the Forbidden City, and murmured: "I will come back! "

After watching for a while, he pulled his eyes back from this magnificent building, and his mind returned to two days ago...

Today's result, in fact, two days ago, he probably already guessed it.

Han Yu also guessed.

So that day they began to secretly discuss the next countermeasures.

Han Yu suggested that he cry to the emperor to stay in the capital.

He has a different opinion.

Crying is necessary, but it's not begging to stay in the capital, but taking the initiative to take the blame for the emperor and share the emperor's worries.

Because it was the emperor who ordered him to stay in the capital.

At that time, the first two princes died early, and the emperor needed a trusted relative to stay in the capital.As the emperor's younger brother, it was only natural for him to stay in the capital.

But now times have changed, and things are very different. Although the prince Zhu Cijiong is sick, after treatment, it seems that he will recover soon, and his historical mission as a candidate for the crown prince will come to an end.

Now that it has come to an end, if you still insist on staying, you are brazenly rebelling!Now that his strength is not enough, Zhu Youjian is not stupid enough to take this move.

Under this situation, leaving the capital is the only way to keep the suspense of succession to the end.

Then, he proposed a plan to Han Yu.

——The plan to assassinate the prince.

This plan will be implemented after he leaves the capital!

……

Time flies, Zhu Youjian has been ordered to leave the capital for more than a month.

At this time, the drought in the capital city and other parts of Daming has lasted for several months at the turn of spring and summer.

Every day, Emperor Tianqi would receive urgent reports of disaster reports from various local governments, as well as documents asking the court for food and salaries for disaster relief.

In order to deal with soaring prices during the drought, civil uprisings and other trivial matters, the cabinet has been operating at full capacity almost every day for nearly a month.

But if the drought is not resolved, no matter how busy people are, they will not be able to solve the fundamental problem.

To this end, Apocalypse decided to pray for rain.

Praying for rain is actually a ceremony to beg for mercy from heaven and earth.

If luck is good, it will rain, but even if it does not rain, it is good.Because at least the people of the world can feel the sincerity of the emperor's sympathy for the suffering of all people.

After choosing an auspicious day for offering sacrifices to heaven, Tianqi fasted for three days in advance.First silently tell the ancestors in the Fengxian Hall in the palace, and then sign Zhu Youxiao's name on the letter to heaven, and send it to the Nanjiao Shenku one day first.After that, it was the ceremony of praying for rain.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for rain is roughly like this: at dawn, the emperor and his ministers set off from Huangji Gate and walked ten miles to the round mound of the Temple of Heaven. You have to kowtow to the sky four times.After the salute, it was the emperor's speech.After finishing all these rituals, walk back to the palace.

From this series of ceremonies, we can clearly see one thing: strong physical strength is required!

Does Emperor Tianqi have this physical strength?

Others don't know!
However, according to him, he has the physical strength.

Recently, Emperor Tianqi finally listened to the advice of the imperial physicians, and did not take the Golden Elixir anymore, and he had not been close to women for a long time, so his body looked better.

Now that the emperor has spoken, let's start the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

The time for offering sacrifices to heaven has been set here, and the time for the crown prince's medical treatment has also been set.

Because the Sui and Tang Dynasties said that on the day when the emperor sacrificed to the heaven and the earth, the vitality of the heaven and the earth was the most abundant, which was most conducive to the treatment of the prince's heart disease.

In fact, it was because on the day of the emperor's sacrificial ceremony, the national teacher Xiao Daoling and the commander of Jin Yiwei, Yan Long, would accompany him to protect him! !The two masters of profound strength in the palace were not in the palace, which made Xuan Tianqing, who was always afraid of Yan Long's perception ability, relax a lot.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time!
