The emperor asked them to pull the plow, didn't he just use them as cattle? The officials were dumbfounded, looked at each other, lowered their heads and dared not speak out.
Mu Yunyao and Min Fanghua stood a little further away, watching the changing faces of the officials, and couldn't help but tick the corners of their lips. The emperor's "dream" was well done. Since he had the immortal's guidance, the sudden death of the ox would not be considered unlucky, but a special instruction given by the immortal.
The officials couldn't find a reason to refute. After all, even if they guessed that the emperor was nonsense, no one dared to go and expose it at this time. According to the emperor's golden mouth, he said that there was an immortal's advice, it must be there, and there is no!
The tall incense burner was placed in the open space next to the field, and the spring ploughing ceremony began. The emperor took the lead in leading the civil and military officials to worship the sky and pray for blessings. After the salute, the emperor stood up, Yu stepped forward to take the incense in his hand, and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the officials: "Okay, dear gentlemen, let's go down to the ground with me."
In order to participate in today's spring ploughing ceremony, the officials wore extremely neat clothes, but now they have to roll up their trouser legs and sleeves, and pull up the ropes in the field, pulling the curved plow to slowly advance in the field. In order to make the Spring Ploughing Ceremony go smoothly, this field is extraordinarily meticulously groomed. The soil in the field was carefully passed through, and even the small stones were not visible. In order to make the emperor more labor-saving, there was someone an hour before the main hall. Carefully ploughing and loosening the soil in advance, therefore, officials
Although they were a little embarrassed, they went well.
The purpose of the spring ploughing ceremony is to pray for blessings, and the emperor ploughs out two pieces of land, even if it is completed. Seeing that it was about to be completed, the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, they suddenly felt the rope in their hands loosened, as if something was broken, and staggered forward two steps.
"Your Majesty!" someone exclaimed.
King Yu and King Yue hurriedly stepped forward to support the ugly-looking emperor, only to see that the Quli had broken in the middle. If they hadn't stepped forward in time, the emperor would have been brought to the ground.
The officials panicked in their hearts, and knelt deeply on the ground to plead for their sins: "The ministers and others deserve ten thousand deaths, please forgive the emperor."
Li Qingzhou suddenly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, first the ox died suddenly, and then the plough broke off, which is really a bad omen." King Yu looked at it coldly: "Prime Minister Li, the father and the emperor just said, The sudden sudden death of the cow was taken away by the immortals, in order to let the ministers under him experience the hardships of farming, be more loyal to the monarch and work harder for the sake of the people from now on, but you say it is a big bad omen, but this
To question the father? "
"We've never dared, but all the spring ploughing ceremonies have been exceptionally smooth, but this time, things have been going on and on, I think there must be something wrong in it, and that's why I angered the heavens, and I used this to warn the emperor, ask the emperor to add more Note that the Dali Dynasty will have good weather in the coming year."
The emperor's face was calm, and his eyes fell lightly on Li Qingzhou: "Then according to Li Aiqing's words, what did God want to warn me?"
"Your Majesty, this minister thought..." Li Qingzhou just opened his mouth and said a word, when he saw the incense burner used to worship the heaven and earth suddenly fall down, facing the direction of Mu Yunyao.
Fortunately, Si Qin and Si Qi had been following Mu Yunyao all the time. Seeing that the situation was not good, they hurriedly pulled her away and avoided the disaster.
Li Qingzhou suddenly raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Mu Yunyao: "Your Majesty, this minister believes that all the bad omens are caused by Princess Yue!"
King Yue's eyes suddenly tightened, he stepped forward to stand in front of Mu Yunyao, and said in a cold voice, "Prime Minister Li had better make it clear, framing this king's concubine is a serious crime, if you don't have the slightest evidence, just blame it at will, This king must seek justice from you and the Li family!"
Before Li Qingzhou could speak, the people from the Qin Tianjian stepped forward quickly, picked up the incense from the incense burner, and hurriedly knelt down and replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the incense you used to worship the heavens has been completely extinguished, and the heavens did not enjoy them at all. This is God's dissatisfaction!"
The officials looked at Mu Yunyao with amazed eyes. Li Qingzhou took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the incense burner fell, facing the direction of Princess Yue, isn't this a warning from God? Please think carefully, Princess Yue, this person is very strange. According to the investigation of the minister, she was born in In the countryside, she has not received any teaching since she was a child, but she is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, ritual and music, and is unique in embroidery and tea art. In a short period of time, Niyunfang and Buxianlou have opened all over Dali Dynasty. Earning the hard-earned money of the people, while graciously distributing some rice grains, using these ghostly tricks to bribe the hearts of the people, so that she can be heard among the people.
Hope soars. Listening to his words, many people frowned. Such behavior on a woman is indeed extremely unusual. A few days ago, when she got married, the people of Jingling City sent several boats. things, such prestige and fame fall on a woman, it is not necessarily
what a good thing. Li Qingzhou went on to say, "If it's just to buy people's hearts, it's fine, the emperor is wise and powerful, and his prestige is unmatched. In front of your power, the methods of Princess Yue are only the light of fireflies, and it is difficult to compete with Haoyue. But her biggest culprit is to disrupt the palace.
The next is your son. Princess Yue is the granddaughter of Princess Yide. They are not only related by blood, but also in different generations. Such behavior is already out of order. When God sees such a person, how can he not? Angry? "Mu Yunyao looked at Li Qingzhou coldly, the light in his eyes was like ice and snow. After the event at the Autumn Hunting Palace banquet, this person knew that the emperor insisted that King Yue was his son, and he was certain that he was unwilling to destroy Queen Wei's reputation. That's why she held on to her relationship with the King of Yue and held on to it, in order to give them
An accusation of disregarding the ethics of Gangli!
The emperor's face turned black, his chest undulated a little more, and his lips were blue and purple: "Prime Minister Li, the marriage between the two of them was given by decree..." "Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for many years. Paying attention to etiquette and suddenly giving the king and concubine Yue a marriage, many courtiers were puzzled. This is not like your usual style. Wei Chen invited a high-ranking monk to check it secretly and found that there is a seductive atmosphere in the palace. Please think about it carefully, the emperor, since After Mu Yunyao returned to Beijing and was recognized by Princess Yide, how many things happened in the imperial court. Princess Yu had a miscarriage... Your body is also deteriorating, Your Majesty, Princess Yue is the evildoer in the palace for disaster.
Please the emperor order her to be executed! "As soon as these words came out, all the officials present were silent. Prime Minister Li has always been smooth and smooth, and his words are not leaking, so people can't catch the wrong place, but now, it seems that all the charges are deliberately framed on Princess Yue, why is this...
