Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 722

Chapter 727

At this time in all dynasties, the emperor would ask the sky to blame himself, and then sacrifice to the world to issue an edict.Confess your mistakes to God and pray for God's blessing.

Zhang Gan was very depressed. This kind of thing had happened before his top position in Zhongshuling was hot.Ran Min didn't want to commit a crime, but this meant setting him on fire!
"An Shi, it seems that the heavens don't like Qian." Looking at the rain, Zhang Gan sighed, "In the end, Gan still comes from a humble background, and his foundation is not stable. It's not Qian's turn to do it. Although Qian is the order of the Great Wei Zhongshu, but there are too many political enemies in the court, they will definitely not miss this opportunity!"

Xie An said calmly: "Will His Majesty issue a criminal order?"

"Your Majesty is willing to come down, but he was stopped." Zhang Gan asked back: "This is a natural disaster, what has it to do with your majesty's virtue? Besides, what is wrong with your majesty? Although your majesty has killed many people, when will you kill them?" An innocent person?"

"Meng Yang (Zhang Qian's name) don't need to worry!" Xie An said: "They dare not yet."

Zhang Qiandao: "Obviously I dare not, but there will definitely be actions in the dark."

Xie An nodded and said: "Once the conspiracy sees the sun, it will disappear invisibly. It is nothing more than taking the opportunity to slander Zhongshuling's reputation. As long as Zhongshuling is in the emperor's heart, none of them can touch you!"

Xie An said softly: "Fortunately, God bless Wei!"

Zhang Gan said in amazement: "An Shi, you, what time is this, you are still talking sarcastic here. Now we are just a grasshopper strung on a rope, we can't get better, and we can't run away from you!"

"Don't worry, Meng Yang, just listen to An Shi's detailed explanation!"

Xie An said unhurriedly: "What An said about God Blessing the Great Wei actually refers to the white disaster in the north that went to the wind. Because of the sudden white disaster, His Majesty was worried that the Northern Han Dynasty would fall to the south, so he mobilized tens of thousands The army is marching northward, ready to keep the enemy out of the country."

"In order to win this war, His Majesty mobilized a total of 200 million shi of grain and grass to the north. Although there were a lot of losses during the transportation, after the beginning of spring, His Majesty has gradually increased the grain and grass reserves in the north. Now at least nearly a million shi of grain is hoarded in Jinyang , Beiping also has no less than 30 shi of grain, and Yecheng also has 60 shi."

"Other border towns like Yanmen and Dingyang also store food and grass that can support the soldiers and civilians for three months. Our Dawei has stored no less than 230 million shi of food outside the flooded area of ​​the Yellow River this time. Even The Yellow River finally broke its embankment, and Wei also had enough food to deal with the current crisis."

"Secondly, due to the large number of workshops opened in Qingzhou, many farmers will go to Qingzhou to do part-time jobs during the slack time. It is still early in the autumn harvest, and there are not many people left behind in the Heluo area, so it is not too difficult to transfer!"

Zhang Qiandao: "Even if there are more than 200 million shi of grain, what can we do? For example, in the fifth year of Yuankang, the Yellow River flooded, and 190 counties in Qing, Jing, Yu, Yan, Xu, and Yang prefectures suffered disasters. In [-], when the Yellow River flooded, which time did it not spread across the six states, and which time did not cause heavy losses, no crops, and hunger everywhere?"

"Two million shi of grain is of course a drop in the bucket for those victims!" Xie An laughed and said, "The reason why An said that God blesses Wei is actually the most important thing is that he is still the King of Qin!"

"King Qin?" Zhang Gan asked in confusion, "What happened to King Qin?"

Xie An said: "At this time, the King of Qin will definitely not stand idly by. Just wait and see, within five days, there will definitely be an urgent document to arrive!"

In the imperial study room, Zhang Ping saw the expressionless Ran Min, and said, "Your Majesty, I have invited Ge Xianweng here!"

"Ge Xianweng is here!" Ran Min suddenly became energetic: "Hurry up and invite Xianweng to come in."

As he said that, Ran Min quickly wiped his face, and ordered his servant You Yi to tidy up his dragon robe.Dress neatly, which represents respect for a person.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Ge Hong held a whisk in his hand, still wearing the purple Taoist robe.It seems that the sleeves are fluttering and the bearing is extraordinary.

Purple is a very prominent clothing color in ancient times. In our common saying, red turns purple. This purple is the color of official or ordinary clothes.People of the third rank and above wear purple, those of the fifth rank and above wear vermilion, those of the seventh rank and above wear green, and those above the ninth rank wear blue.Except for the Ming Dynasty who embroidered birds or animals on the patches of official uniforms, this is the origin of the clothes.Asking Ge Hong to wear a purple Taoist robe is Ran Min's respect and courtesy to Ge Hong, the Great Wei Guoshi.

"The fairy is free from courtesy, come here, give me a seat, and serve tea!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Looking at Ge Hong who was calm and calm, Ran Min asked anxiously: "It's raining continuously, the river is surging, I'm so worried, I implore the fairy to cast a spell and ask the sky for advice!"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Ge Hong said indifferently: "Poverty Dao will do his best!"

Ran Min asked anxiously again: "I don't know when the immortal will cast the spell?"

Ge Hong closed his eyes, pinched his fingers and said: "Your Majesty, at midnight tonight, you can open an altar and cast spells in Mingguangfang, Zhuque Street!"

Ge Hong's Taoism is profound, but he is in alchemy and medicine, but if he really makes him call the wind and rain, he must not be able to do that.Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any well-dressed crossing to the south. When the barbarians came, they would directly move a mountain and smash it over. It didn’t take much, and tens of thousands of people would be killed or injured. Let them be as honest as possible.

However, Ge Hong has lived most of his life, and he still has the ability to see the clouds and the sky. He checked the sky on the way here, and it will definitely not rain again from midnight tonight to tomorrow afternoon.

Ran Ming didn't believe in the so-called Taoism at all.The so-called Taoism is nothing more than some not-so-smart stage magic, so that a random not-so-smart magician in future generations can play even better than them with some props!Of course, Ran Min was dubious about Taoism.

Although Ran Min didn't really believe it, he had to make this gesture out of political needs.

When Ran Min heard Ge Hong's promise, he was very excited, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare the altar.At the same time, the news that Ran Min invited Ge Hong, the grandson of Ge Xuan, the grandson of the Living Immortal Da Xian Weng, to open an altar to cast spells, quickly spread throughout Yecheng.Almost half of Yecheng's population of more than [-] has moved.

In the Three Kingdoms era, Ge Xuan was a legendary figure (search for his details yourself), and Ge Hong was a master of medicine. He used the guise of Taoism to cure diseases and save lives for poor people.Bewildered by his unpredictable magic techniques, Ge Hong has a very high prestige in the hearts of Taoist believers or ordinary people.Hearing the news of Ge Hong's appearance, the people's anxiety slowly eased down.They believed that Ge Hong would definitely be able to ask the sky not to rain again.

Although Ge Hong opened the altar to cast spells at night, it did not dissuade the enthusiasm of the people.Some of them held umbrellas, tarpaulins or directly drenched in the rain to watch Ge Hong open the altar and cast spells.

Following Ran Min's order, thousands of soldiers and servants in Yecheng set up a huge altar with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters in the shortest possible time according to Ge Hong's request.In order to build such an altar, many people’s houses must be demolished overnight, but when those people heard that this was Ge Hong’s altar for offering sacrifices to heaven, they didn’t say anything, they immediately cleaned up the things, and even helped the soldiers to tear down their own houses. As for what compensation? question, never even thought about it.

Finally, Ge Hong appeared on the stage. Under the leadership of more than 100 ancient musicians, these advocates played and beat all the way, and then 36 Taoist boys led the way.These 36 Taoist boys coincided with the number of 36 Tiangangs, and Ge Hong stepped on the seven stars and walked forward unhurriedly.Behind Ge Hong are four Taoist boys holding various magic weapons.

If Ran Ming were here, he would definitely wonder if Ge Tong was a pedophile like Jackson.No matter which time he played, Ge Hong never used adult Taoist priests, but those young Taoist priests who were twelve or thirteen years old.

After Ge Hong, it was Ran Min who joined hands with Queen Dong to bring all the civil and military officials of Wei State, and even the seriously ill Liu Qun came to sacrifice to heaven with the support of his servants.

Tens of thousands of huge torches were burned in the entire Suzaku Avenue, and the billowing flames rose into the sky, illuminating the night like day.The crowds of people in Yecheng consciously bowed to Ge Hong solemnly.

Ge Hong officially boarded the altar where the cigarettes were curling up, and began to dance the Great God.Anyway, the people below couldn't see clearly what he was dancing or what the words he was saying meant.The so-called incantations of those Taoist priests are actually the same as the prescriptions written by doctors. They are things that you can't understand, but they themselves understand.

Ge Hong tossed and tossed for nearly half an hour, until midnight, suddenly Ge Hong smoked heavily on the altar, accompanied by rolling thunder.Ge Hong's voice suddenly rose an octave: "Taishang Laojun is in a hurry like a law, the rain is over and the sky is sunny!"

Ran Min raised his head, only to realize that the rain stopped at some point.The cool wind blew by, and stars appeared magically in the sky.

Ran Min looked at Ge Hong with a wry smile on his face: "Okay, with this miraculous act of the altar, needless to say, this Taoist believer will definitely break through the gates of the Taoist temple in the future!"

Fortunately, this intermission occurred, allowing Huang He to take a breather.It's just that the good times didn't last long. Three days later, when Ran Ming arrived at Chencang Pass, a problem arose.The guards did not let Ran Ming enter the pass.If you want to enter, you can, Ran Ming and the Qilin Guards can, but for the other two thousand soldiers and horses, the army must have a troop transfer tiger talisman, or Ran Min's imperial edict before they can let them go.

Ran Ming doesn't have the soldier tiger talisman and the imperial decree, but what can he do to face the Yellow River if Qi Linwei is sent back.At this moment, Li Ye who was following Ran Ming gave Ran Ming an idea.

Ran Ming followed his plan.Ran Ming pretended to agree with the guard, and entered the pass with four people, Wei Feng, Zu Yan, and Lin Heishan, in a hanging basket.Just when Ran Ming stepped onto the wall of the city gate, Ran Ming shouted violently: "Lin Heishan, do it!"

Like a furious black bear, Lin Heishan grabbed the guard of Chen Cangguan.Using coercion, Ran Ming broke through the Chencang Pass, but a big trouble arose, the guard of the Chencang Pass who had lost face ordered to light the five-color wolf smoke.
