Zhao Nanxing then looked at Wang Jiaping sympathetically: "So, are you really going to the vast sea thousands of miles away?"

Wang Jiaping nodded, and then sighed: "It's really only when the board hits you that you know how painful it is!"

"Shenwu County may have a point. In the future, as a courtier, you should consider your majesty's feelings. Don't think that you are speaking for the people of the country, and you don't care whether your father is uncomfortable or not."

"Otherwise, Father Jun will deal with us in the same way."

After Wang Jiaping said this, Zhao Nanxing and the others silently acquiesced for a moment.

Wait until the next day.

It's not yet dawn.

The soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division began to drive away the idlers and set up barriers in the places where Zhu Yijun was going to pass under the command of the patrolling censors in each city.

Jin Yiwei, whether in formal clothes or plain clothes, were scattered in this area, occupying positions in teahouses and restaurants in this area, and some of them were holding firecrackers and crossbows in their hands.

When the first ray of sunlight came out through the clouds, rows of armored soldiers from the emperor's personal guards stepped out of the Forbidden City majesticly, standing on both sides of the imperial road five steps apart.

Then came the Ouchi eunuch wearing a three-mountain cap, clapping his hands.

a while.

Zhu Yijun really set off from the palace and began to walk to the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs to pray for rain.

The ministers are all accompanied by court clothes.

Zhao Nanxing was the most excited.

Although he was at the bottom, seeing the Son of Heaven going on foot to pray for rain from a distance gave him an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, the sense of accomplishment that the imperial power was controlled by his own scholar-bureaucrats, a kind of sense of accomplishment that the Son of Heaven was really controlled by himself. You must have a sense of accomplishment that you are willing to work hard for the people of the world.

In front of Zhao Nanxing, Chen Younian, the Prime Minister of the Right Temple of Dali Temple, even started to choke with his mouth sobbing. Before it rained, he started to cry.

The civilians and common people were all empty, and they came to the side of the imperial road one after another, watching through the wall of soldiers and horses from the five cities who blocked the siege and held spears.

A fellow eunuch really burst into tears because of this. He kept trying the corners of his eyes and said to his fellow villagers, "The Son of Heaven prayed for rain for us!"

"The Son of Heaven went to the altar on foot to pray for rain for us, and we, as the people, should kneel down and pray for it!"

There was an old boy who was deeply moved by the emperor's begging for rain, and saw that the emperor was working so hard and he and others stood aside to watch the fun without order, so he knelt down first, and asked his relatives, friends and neighbors to follow. Kneel down.

After seeing all these people kneeling down, Lao Tongsheng felt better, and he was able to look at Zhu Yijun walking on the royal road with more peace of mind.

Under the influence of these country gentry and scholars, the common people also looked at the Emperor Daming with a golden armor, and then looked at the sky.

"Your Majesty has worked so hard for us, so God should be merciful and bring rain, right?"

"It can't stop the rain, the emperor has come out!"

"The emperor is a good emperor, so the sky must also be a good sky, I'm afraid it will rain!"

Therefore, some people muttered hopefully after they knelt down with the famed and high-ranking sages beside them.

But at this time, there was a child, Miki, who couldn't help but looked up at the sky and said, "I don't see any dark clouds?"

Bang!

Sanmu's father, Tu Ermu, slapped him directly on the head: "What kind of mouth is the child, God can't even give the emperor face!"

Tu Sanmu pursed his lips and didn't speak again.

Zhu Yijun completed the entire ceremony of praying for rain very seriously, including walking to pray for rain, and then walking back to fast.

For Zhu Yijun who has been paying attention to exercise, this amount of exercise is nothing.

Even if it's fasting, it doesn't have much impact on him who has long learned to restrain himself from food and beauty.

However, Zhu Yijun was unhappy that the sky didn't seem to give him face because of his piety, and it still didn't rain for the next few days.

Even Qin Tianjian's artificial rainfall had to decline the time of artificial rainfall because of changes in cloud cover.

However, many ministers were still in a state of shock, and many of them sent congratulatory forms to praise him.

The common people were also quite moved at the beginning, because the hostility brought about by the drought has decreased a lot, and the low-level mutual harm such as weapon fighting and thieves has decreased a lot.

The frenzy of hoarding grain and water storage has also begun to ease, and some grain merchants have even begun to take the initiative to lower grain prices.

However, with the prolongation of the days, after the rain still remained, the people gradually continued to become impetuous, food prices rose again, disputes over water grabbing reappeared, and public security problems became severe again.

"beat!"

Some scholars even began to complain about the Dragon King, thinking that the Dragon King was too much, and the emperor had begged for rain in person, and he would not give himself a way out, so he began to organize activities to fight the Dragon King.

"My god, the emperor doesn't even give me face. Does this mean that I don't want people to live? I still believe in gods and bodhisattvas!"

Although the people in this land have been domesticated for thousands of years and have domesticated the cultural gene of benevolence, they still have the gene of resistance that once expanded the territory and fought against the sky. I'd rather have a kindness" is the same as saying, if the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu go too far, he will dare to smash and complain.

Zhu Yijun's praying for rain is indeed putting the pressure of not raining on the sky and the bodhisattva gods worshiped by the people.

But Zhu Yijun didn't feel that the next thing had nothing to do with him because of this.

He hoped to take this opportunity to let the Han people improve their thinking.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun asked about the drought situation again this morning, and said:

"I have prayed for rain and it hasn't rained yet. It seems that the sky is really a heartless person, so I would rather let the people suffer from disasters than sit and watch me pray for rain hard, and be indifferent. Maybe the sky is like a stone and a grain of sand. unconscious!"

But at this time, Chen Younian, the chancellor of the Yousi Temple of Dali Temple, came out and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the sky still does not rain, which may be due to the fact that the world has not been amnesty."

Shi Xing, the right servant of the Ministry of War, also said: "Your Majesty, I believe that it is due to the unresolved evils of the times, and I am now ordering to accept the words of the world and sweep away the accumulated evils."

Ban Jin, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it is due to the excessive taxation in the south of the Yangtze River and the failure to reduce the burden on the people."

"absurd!"

"If it doesn't rain because the criminals have been brought to justice, how can there be justice in the world?"

"I have widely set up secret newspaper boxes in post stations all over the world. Is there any reason for not accepting people's words?"

"If there is a drought because of heavy taxes, it is completely unreasonable. If the sky is for the people, why does it use harm to the people to warn me?"

"From my point of view, the heavens only let me become the emperor, and then I don't care about anything. All the difficulties that exist today are just a test for me, a test for you!"

"It's not because I'm dishonest, and it's not because of your disloyalty that the disaster came. It's just a test of objective existence. We need to explore the solution and follow the natural laws that actually exist to find a solution. Guessing for a long time here is useless. Meaning, I believe that God does not let us talk here, guess what we did wrong, and make him dissatisfied; nor does it let us only know to ask him to save us, and only want to rely on him to save us, but to let us to find a solution."

After Zhu Yijun said that, he said: "Qin Tianjian has reported that the cloud cover is expected to be good tomorrow. Let's go to Jingshan tomorrow to see if it can rain through practice."

Chen Youning and others had no choice but to bow their hands and say: "Your Majesty is wise!"

So, on the second day, the clouds needed for rain appeared.

Zhu Yijun then really led the ministers to the sunny side of Jingshan, and began to ask Su Wang, who was in charge of the rainfall in Qin Tianjian, to arrange for artificial rainfall.

For a while, King Su asked someone to burn the yellow powder burning furnace.

Then, Zhu Yijun and the ministers saw a large amount of yellow smoke drifting into the air along the air current.

At the same time, heavy artillery brought in by the Ordnance Bureau began to fire into the sky, as well as flowering shells with salt powder and yellow powder.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

And not long after that, the clouds in the sky really became thicker and gradually darkened.

"Your Majesty, there are actually dark clouds!"

Shen Shixing said happily to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun also nodded and smiled: "It seems that practical learning is still useful."

Chen Younian looked unhappy: "How can this be so, the world has not been amnesty! It is really going to rain?"

At this time, Wang Xijue asked Shen Li in amazement: "Can people really manipulate the weather through practical means?"

And as soon as Zhu Yijun said this, the big raindrops fell on his cheeks on the spot, and also fell on the cheeks of the ministers.

Immediately, the sound of rustling through the forest and beating leaves appeared in the forest.

After a while, large and small white beads jumped up on the steps of the bluestone slabs, and mist began to appear around the mountains, thick as yarn.
