"Xuan Qin Master? Xuan Yunlan? I've heard that he used to be a great piano master in Jingyun Yalou. Not only was he accomplished in piano skills, he was also the number one person in Lingxiang Town, Shili. It is said that he was also extremely beautiful, enchanting and charming, and was the best. Qun Fang."
"I've heard it! I've heard it! Two years ago, when you first came to the throne, you fell in love with this woman's beauty. So there was that ridiculous decree to seal off the whole Shili Lingxiang Town, just for her. That's right. It wasn't until Master Xuanqin went up the mountain to recommend himself as a pillow mat that an acropolis was built. It gave these poor women a place to stay. It's a shame, a shame!"
Li Zhile suddenly raised his eyebrows and thought that he was indeed a desolate and foolish king. It turns out that at the beginning of his succession, he had a criminal record. This Shili Lingxiang Town was originally abandoned for this reason.
By the way, wasn't that Demon King only fourteen years old two years ago? What a beast!
His ears were slightly perked, and Li Zhile listened carefully again. Only one person spoke again: "Your Majesty is indeed lustful! It is said that by his side, there is always a woman named Zhao Yanran. It is said that she is also shy, with ice-cold muscles and jade bones. Her skin looks like It’s like mutton fat. Her beauty is even better than that of the Xuan Qin master. I don’t know where your Majesty got it from—"
"—His! How could this happen? His skin is like cream, how white and smooth it must be. Your Majesty, he is so blessed!"
Li Zhile was also envious, jealous, and secretly angry, while wondering why this person is not me
"It's a pity that you are so young and obsessed with beauty. You haven't dealt with political affairs this year. This is not a blessing for our country."
"But after all, she is the commander-in-chief of the Central Dynasty. Is it really appropriate to force her to become a concubine?"
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away, what are you afraid of?"
"No wonder, some supplies are in short supply in the market recently. I'm afraid your Majesty is preparing for the gift of a concubine, right
"Hey! I've heard some about this, but it's a different story. It wasn't your Majesty who wanted to take the female governor as your concubine. It was this woman who took a fancy to your Majesty's talent. That day I went up the mountain After the robbery failed, I was willing to commit myself—"
Li Zhile's eyes were slightly red. He couldn't bear it any longer and slapped his palm on the table.
His true power exploded, and he immediately smashed the wooden table into pieces with a bang.
It also made the whole restaurant become silent and quiet. All the eyes around him were looking this way, full of surprise.
Li Zhile also glanced around coldly, wanting to get angry at these people, but he knew that most of the people in this restaurant were ignorant people.
He could only snort coldly, throw down a gold cake as compensation, and then strode out of the wine room.
The silver-armored knight also followed and anxiously advised: "Commander, it's better to consider this matter in the long term and don't be impulsive! I think it's better to inform Kyoto first. The Ministry of War and several commanders have their own plans. The commander-in-chief is For those who are in the Emperor's heart, His Majesty will definitely not be able to circumvent this Tianshan Mountain—"
Li Zhile did not speak, but took several deep breaths to calm down.
Then the next moment, he looked at the sky in astonishment. I saw pieces of snowflakes dancing and falling.
Snowing? It snows in June, how is this possible
Li Zhile's expression immediately darkened again, showing a bit of sadness.
I wonder, does the heaven know what I mean? This state of mind is also as desolate as snow.
※ ※ ※ ※
The imperial capital of the Great Shang Dynasty, Kyoto, was also snowing heavily at this time. There were already two feet of snow covering the houses on the ground, dyeing the entire Imperial Capital city a blanket of snow-white.
In the Tingzheng Pavilion of Fenghua Palace, the old man in yellow robe rarely went to deal with government affairs. Instead, he stepped out of the attic and stood on the walkway under the eaves, looking at the snowy scene outside. I saw that the entire imperial garden was plain white. The flowers of various colors that were originally blooming now seemed like flowers from the ice and snow sculptures, creating a unique and moving scene.
"June blizzard—"
The old man had no intention of admiring it. Instead, he frowned tightly: "But under my rule, are there any grievances that make heaven feel?"
Standing next to him was the young eunuch Gao Ruo. Hearing this, he was subconsciously startled, and immediately replied with a smile: "How is it possible? Your Majesty has worked hard to govern these years and promoted many gentlemen to stand in the court. When it comes to the official administration of the Qingming Dynasty, in our great Shang Dynasty, except for Taizong Taizu, In addition, nothing more than the years that His Majesty has been in office. Several adults in Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment are all famous and honest scholars. How could there be any grievances? Didn't the Imperial Master have people summoned him before? It is said that this heavenly sign has nothing to do with my great merchant. It seems that the origin of my cloud world was disturbed, which caused the change in the sky. For the detailed reason, he is still investigating-"
The old man in imperial robes still looked gloomy. Gao Ruo's relief did not make him feel at ease.
"The snow is two feet high. If this snow continues, I'm afraid it will become a snow disaster. I'm afraid that the people in the country will have no harvest this year."
Gao Ruo's expression was startled, and then his face was filled with emotion.
"Your Majesty, our great Shang Dynasty has always had surpluses every year since His Majesty took over the administration. The warehouses are abundant. The state has accumulated grain for three years and saved hundreds of millions of money. Even if there is a snowstorm, we can deal with it calmly and have enough funds for disaster relief. Your Majesty is always there. Forgetting all the people, he is indeed a benevolent king. If those people know about it, they will definitely respect him even more."
"Is it benevolent?"
The old man laughed at himself and looked at the palm of his hand. A ball of breath floated from inside, showing a golden color.
The Imperial Secret Martial Arts of the Great Shang Dynasty, called "Dragon Emperor's Nine Imperial Arts" has twelve levels. And he is also the second among all the Great Shang dynasties to practice this skill to the twelfth level. A person of the same level. His meritorious deeds are so profound that they even surpassed those of Taizu when he was still alive.
Even those who are powerful in the divine realm must bow their heads in front of him!
He was also in charge of politics and praised as the master of the resurgence of the Shang Dynasty and the reigning sage.
During these years in office, he has indeed turned the tide and worked hard to improve the situation without slacking off. . After the young man ascended to the throne, he gritted his teeth and finally repaired the leaky ship of Dashang Dynasty bit by bit.
But even so, the old man knew that he was far from being a saint
It is really far from the so-called Holy Emperors in ancient times.
Although he couldn't see it, he knew that there were actually many mixed colors in the imperial energy he had condensed. He was stronger than his ancestors, but his strength was limited.
Even several times, he saw a look of regret in the eyes of the Imperial Master and the worshipers with supernatural powers.
"Taifu, Taifu, you taught me in the past that the way to be a king is to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be kind to the people. Far from being a villain, be close to a gentleman. We must believe in the Confucian way of governing the country, be diligent in government, and be loyal to gentlemen. Be considerate of the people's strength, light corvees and low taxes. If you say good etiquette, the people will not dare to be disrespectful; if you are good to righteousness, the people will not dare to disobey; if good faith is good, the people will not dare to be unkind. These are all things I ask myself. Here we are. But why am I still nothing more than a mediocre leader in the eyes of Heaven? Why is this great businessman still swaying the country? Is it that I am wrong, or is the Confucian way inherently wrong?"
His eyes were gloomy, and the old man's expression gradually showed a bit of sternness. Suddenly he clenched his fists and heard a muffled sound from the 'canopy'.
At this moment, in front of the old man in imperial robes, there was an entire area of 100,000 feet. All the snow dust is scattered, and all the grass, trees, flowers and leaves are also scattered into powder.
When the young eunuch Gao Ruo saw this, his eyes suddenly shrank, and cold sweat dripped on his forehead. But he didn't dare to walk away. Instead, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The old man originally seemed possessed by a demon, with a ferocious look on his face. After hearing Gao Ruo's eyes, he immediately woke up and regained his composure.
"Get up! I'm the one who lost my temper!"
With a flick of his sleeves, it seemed that the heavy snow had gradually stopped. The old man in imperial robes felt at ease and no longer wanted to stay here any longer. Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the pavilion, he saw several broken corpses lying on the edge of the messy imperial garden.
There were also some traces of blood in the snow dust scattered in the garden. It seemed that his body was also completely shattered.
The old man frowned and didn't care. A eunuch is just a slave of the emperor, and if he dies, he will die.
"Let the deceased be buried generously, and the family of the deceased need generous compensation."
It is a great kindness to deal with it in this way.
After giving a casual instruction, the old man walked directly into the pavilion. But here, there are already dozens of golden memorials. Floating next to the windows on both sides.
Gao Ruo took these memorials one by one without waiting for his instructions. Just as he was sitting on the imperial desk in the room, he saw the old man waving his hand tiredly.
Gao Ruo immediately understood and opened one of the books. After just one glance, his face looked very strange. Then he hurriedly opened the next book, and his eyes became even weirder after that.
At this time, the old man also noticed that Gao Ruo's expression was different. He raised his eyebrows and said in a calm tone: "Why don't you read out these memorials?"
Gao Ruo didn't answer, but opened several memorials in succession. Until the old man's eyes showed a hint of impatience. Then he leaned over and replied: "Your Majesty, the contents of these memorials are the same. In our Dashang territory, dozens of states all had heavy snowfall at the same time. It was not just my Dashang, the rest of the central Yunlu, the four continents and twelve islands, The sky is covered with heavy snow. Even the Ten Holy Lands, the Nineteen Spiritual Palaces, and even the Five Firmaments Realm are all without exception—"
When the old man in imperial robe heard this, he was also stunned for a while, with a look of confusion on his face.
These five continents and twelve islands are all. But this holy land, the Lingfu, and even the Dome Realm, are actually half outside the heaven and earth. How can there be heavy snow
Although the National Preceptor once said that this time it would not affect the fate of the country, how could he not be worried
Just as he was deep in thought, Gao Ruo turned to another memorial, and then narrowed his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, today among many Buddhist temples such as Ganan Cave, Liangjie Mountain Mingmiao Temple, Baima Temple, Xiangguo Temple, etc. For example, the ancient Buddha of Yuanshi, The Buddha statues of the horizontal third generation Buddha, the vertical third generation Buddha, Vairocana Buddha, and many other Buddhas are shaking endlessly and shining brighter. It is said that the north wall of all Buddhist temples collapsed without exception."
The old man looked stunned, but after a moment, he felt relieved: "So, this change in the sky is related to Buddhism?"
The person in the living room who was sitting quietly at the side had already begun to write silently. He wrote on the daily note: "On June 13, the twenty-seventh year of Yuanchen, it snowed heavily in the imperial capital. His Majesty was worried that the heavy snow would cause disaster, and he even lost his composure." Later, when the snow stopped, I heard heavy snowfall in the cloud world, strange changes occurred in the temples, and the emperor's heart began to feel at ease. "A few lines of big characters."
