Luan and Phoenix Tribulation: A Concubine Becomes a Phoenix

Chapter 237 The meaning of thunder

Those old and cunning courtiers who have been in the officialdom and intrigue for decades are unlikely to be confused by these formal things.

Feng Shijin squinted her eyes and looked at Jun Qianji with a cold face, and the sleeves of her toga were fluttering with her movements, as if a real god had come to the world, her eyes were fixed on the bright light, whether near or far away. Huang, even thinking that even the emperor standing by watching would not believe it.It's just that this has gradually evolved into a ritual and custom, which has been deeply rooted through the dynasties.

Feng Shijin remembered what Jun Qianji had said about the so-called faith, at this moment, he was a complete faith, it didn't matter whether it was true or not.She also never forgot what she overheard last night. When Jun Qianji was on stage, she really broke into a cold sweat for him in the audience. She was afraid that something might go wrong at this time. I also pray to God, don't have any accidents at this time.

It's just that this is just the beginning, and the imperial guards are all in a state of not daring to relax. If those people do it now, they will definitely not be able to please.Only by thinking like this can Feng Shijin feel at ease a little bit, and survive until the end of Jun Qianji's ceremony.

After the sacrificial dance, Feng Shijin took the initiative to go to the stage, offering Jun Qianji a willow branch that was just picked this morning with both hands.Jun Qianji dipped a willow branch into the bowl with the dew accumulated in the night, and sprinkled it lightly on the tall altar tombstone, intending to get rid of all filth.

Then the emperor and all the officials under the stage took willow branches to do the same.According to what Feng Shijin had agreed with Jun Qianji when she came up the mountain, she and Jun Qianji would replace each other, so Feng Shijin sent the prepared willow branches to the emperor and queen, while Jun Qianji went to The audience handed the willow branches to the hands of the officials.

Feng Shijin stood on the side with his hands hanging down. Seeing the emperor and empress, he swept the tombstone lightly, sprinkled dew, and all the officials chanted in unison, wishing best wishes for the Great Jin Dynasty.

The emperor bowed to the stele with his hands up, and said something to pray to the ancestors and the heavens, to the effect that God would bless the Jin Dynasty, and the urgent need to solve the flood in Huainan was urgently needed, so that the weather in Huainan would clear up as soon as possible.

However, the sky seemed to be very disrespectful, as soon as the emperor's words were about to fall, there was another thunderclap in the sky.The emperor raised his head, only to see that the sky was covered with dark clouds, which became more and more dull and oppressive.The emperor seemed to have been refuted, and at the same time he was worried about the weather in Huainan, so his face was very ugly.

At this time Rong Guohou stood up from the head of all the officials, glanced at Jun Qianji, and then bowed to the emperor in a loud voice: "The emperor is the true son of heaven, I don't think God not only didn't hear what the emperor said, but also did the opposite. Let’s do it. The minister thought, it’s not that the heavens are not open-eyed. As a god-man who uploaded the emperor’s imperial decree and issued the will of the heavens, the national teacher was just pretending, and did not upload the emperor’s thoughts and wishes to the heavens? That’s why there was such a thunderous sound Suddenly."

The emperor was dubious, looked at Jun Qianji, and asked: "National teacher, is that what Rong Guohou said?" Whether what Rong Guohou said was true or not, the emperor's heart was like a mirror, but he was in an extremely emotional state right now. Depressed, as soon as Rong Guohou said so, he also went down to ask the crime.

Unexpectedly, Jun Qianji didn't even give an explanation, but said: "The minister is guilty."

Feng Shijin couldn't understand better than that, the emperor wasn't stupid anymore, he was just taking advantage of someone to vent his anger. If Jun Qianji made excuses and explained a lot at this time, it would make the emperor even more angry.

The emperor said with a bit of anger: "As a national teacher, if you let the heavens not hear the people's opinions and ignore the lives of the people, what use will you be as a national teacher?"

At this time, the wind blows from the distant mountains, and the air is fresh and fragrant.

Feng Shijin looked at the dry soil on the ground, and guessed that the rain would not rain for a while, so he knelt down and bowed to the emperor boldly, and said loudly: "My majesty, in order to prepare Today's grand ceremony has been toiled day and night, and I would like to ask the emperor to learn from it. Although the national teacher is the middleman who uploads and distributes, but the dragon god controls the water of the four seas, and the cloud distributes rain and blessings to the world, and the emperor is the real dragon emperor. Is there any reason for God not to listen to the holy will. When thunder sounds, it may not necessarily rain, but it is a kind of gospel."

Feng Shijin paused for a moment, although her voice could hardly conceal its innocence, but she spoke clearly when she landed. She turned her eyes slightly sideways, glanced noncommittally at Rong Guohou in the audience, and said, "It's more likely that someone Those who sacrifice to heaven together are disrespectful to the emperor and to heaven."

What Feng Shijin said was shocking, Jun Qianji frowned slightly, and looked at her with disapproval.If she didn't speak, the emperor might just punish Jun Qianji, but now that she speaks so confidently, it will inevitably attract everyone's attention, which is not Jun Qianji's original intention.

Jun Qianji immediately said: "The villain is not inferior, but the minister is not strict in discipline, and I ask the emperor to punish me."

The emperor was also somewhat surprised. In his opinion, Feng Shijin was not only inferior, but he thought that Feng Shijin was just ignorant of current affairs. He didn't expect her to be so talkative in front of all the officials. Too much.As a disciple of the national teacher, the emperor felt gratified for her courage and felt sorry for her future.

The emperor was very interested: "Then according to what you said, who is disrespectful to me and to heaven?"

Feng Shijin said unhurriedly: "The emperor forgives the crime, the grass people dare not speak rashly, the grass people are just lamenting that the national teacher is devoted to the emperor and the common people, yet he still gets tongue-in-cheek."

At this time, the wind was stronger. Feng Shijin bowed to the emperor again, then straightened his body and looked up at the sky: "Caomin believes that the heavens will judge this matter. If the national teacher did not convey the holy will and the feelings of the people to God After the first thunder, there should be a downpour; if heaven receives the holy will and the people's sentiments, it should be like the grass-roots people said that the blue sky and bright sky will ring the gospel or ring the alarm bell."

As soon as Feng Shijin finished speaking, all the officials and the emperor looked up into the sky to confirm whether there was really a downpour.Only Marquis Rong Guo didn't raise his head, but looked straight at Feng Shijin with sophistication. Feng Shijin looked back at him as if nothing had happened, with an upright expression on his face.

Everyone waited for a while, but not even a drop of rain fell. On the contrary, the dark clouds piled up in the sky were blown away by the wind a little bit, and there were traces of sunlight streaming down from the clouds and sprinkled on the loess ground.

As soon as the weather cleared, the emperor's face showed a little joy, and he couldn't help but look at Feng Shijin more, and said: "It seems that Marquis Rongguo misunderstood the national teacher, the little apprentices of the national teacher's family are really not to be underestimated, everyone get up .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jun Qianji and Feng Shijin just got up, and their movements were almost exactly the same.All the officials seemed to see the shadow of the next national teacher from Feng Shijin.

Rong Guohou said again at this time: "Since the apprentice of the national teacher said that the sudden thunder may be the gospel, or it may be a warning; but I think that anyone who climbs high and travels far and comes here to worship should be respectful. , I hope that the fortune of the Jin Dynasty will prosper and the people will be prosperous and happy. There is no such thing as disrespect. I think that the reason why the heavens sounded the thunder alarm bell is indeed a warning, but the warning is for people who should not come today, which can be described as ominous man of."

The emperor squinted his eyes and said, "Oh? Who does Marquis Rong think is an ominous person present?"
