Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred and seventy-six rituals of boys and girls

After a training session, the two brothers and sisters who didn’t even get a meal in the end thought that when one was beaten and the other was scolded, it would be finished, but they didn’t expect that their dragon mother’s emotions were like the weather. , Let the two of them stand under the tree that Li Hong planted back then, thinking about the tree for an hour.

The sky was overcast for a night. I thought it could catch some raindrops, but after one night, the thick clouds were still thick, but the raindrops did not fall at all.

In the morning when the court came to court, all the cheerful ministers were praying for rain, but the clouds seemed to be sealed, swept in mid-air like a thick drapery. Say nothing will rain.

The dejected ministers hurriedly returned to their official offices, and began to pray for when it rains quickly and when the rain will come, so that the worry between your majesty's eyebrows above the court will be eased.

But it’s been noon since yesterday’s night, but there was no rain at all, and some ministers began to whisper, shouldn’t you ask the Holy Spirit to go to the Mingtang for rain? After all, the folks have begun to ask for rain on Luoshui spontaneously.

Li Hong followed a group of officials to listen to while walking, curiously asking a few words from time to time. When he heard that the folks were preparing to offer virgins to the **** of Luoshui for rain, his heart suddenly shook, and he hurriedly asked: " How can you ask for the rain?"

"His Royal Highness, naturally it was given to the God of Water in Luoshui, so that it can rain if the unevenness is kept." A minister looked at His Royal Highness who was more than a head higher than him, and said hurriedly.

"Send to Luoshui Water God? How to send it? In a carriage or..." Li Hong's face became a little gloomy, and in the eyes of the minister, he also meant to ask knowingly.

How else can this be delivered? Naturally, it was put into the Luo River and sank, or how could it be given to the Water God of Luoshui?

This kind of thing is not as detailed as the Prince's question, so it is inevitable to ask for rain.

"Where did this virgin boy and girl come from?" Li Hong pulled Jiang Ke's sleeves and asked persistently.

"His Royal Highness, you don't have to worry about this. In short, it will be enough to ask rain to relieve the suffering of the people." Jiang Ke said haha.

Looking at Jiang Ke playing haha, Li Hong's expression is the same as this gloomy but rainless weather. I don't know if Jiang Ke is a good official, but it should be considered good in history? There are not many records, but I don't remember what he did for evil.

Looking at Jiang Ke waiting for all the officials to leave, he also returned to Shang Shusheng. The more he thinks about it, the more wrong he is. With the ignorance of this era, even China, which has developed for another thousand years, is still so ignorant. Is it a normal thing for virgins to ask for rain?

"Yang Wu, immediately go to Luoshui, any rain-seekers in the folk, all scatter, all the virgins, all the virgins, all get back to me, and the one missing will take your head to pay for your life! I don't care about you and Lian Tie Any way, as long as this is Henan Province and Guanzhong area, if someone asks for rain with virgins today, all the guilt will be borne by you and Lian Tie!" Li Hong said with a grimace.

"Your Highness, do you...think twice..."

"Don't think twice, do it right away, I will bear all the consequences!" Li Hong glanced at Yang Wu who was a little worried, and naturally knew what he wanted to say.

I'm afraid I just wanted to say whether these prayers were secretly approved by the father or the queen.

"Yes, the slave and maid will go now."

"Xuan Shangguanyi and Ren Yaxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, come here." Li Hong rubbed his temple and said.

If Jiang Ke knew about this

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page), but you don’t want to say too clearly to yourself, then obviously someone from the father and the queen must know about this begging for rain. What is Jiang Ke’s surname? The surname is Jiang, and from time to time under the court, he often calls himself a descendant of the Water God Gonggong.

What does this show? The far-fetched surname Jiang and Gonggong’s Jiang surname are being linked together!

Li Hong, who is sitting in Shang Shusheng waiting for Shangguanyi and Ren Yaxiang, is irritable at this time and can no longer be irritable. If the father and the queen really agree to use the virgins to offer the water **** and pray for rain, this... Alas... In the end Li Hong could only sigh helplessly.

Shangguanyi hurried in, and Ren Yaxiang behind him was also in a hurry. The two were about to salute after coming in one after another, but they were immediately stopped by Li Hong.

"Not much nonsense. I originally wanted to wait and see if the rain can come down. It seems hopeless now, and no one has given me the opportunity to wait any longer." Li As Hong said, he patrolled the maps of Guanzhong and Henan Road.

"His Royal Highness, why don't you wait anymore? Didn't you say that the thunder was too dangerous that day?" Shangguanyi has stayed in the East Palace since being summoned by Li Hong yesterday, waiting for Li Hong to initiate the cloud exploding decision. .

"It’s dangerous, can’t it be dangerous? When I was in Anxi, I ran far enough, and I was almost struck by lightning. But now we have no time. Luoyang has already appeared as a boy and girl Sacrifice to pray for rain."

"Huh? Isn't this a nonsense! If you can ask for rain like that, why didn't they ask for rain yesterday? They had to rush to ask for it? People are dead and the rain hasn't fallen. What is it? Is there not enough sincerity? Or add Only a few virgins will do! Your Highness, you...you have to stop it." Shangguanyi took charge of Chongwenguan for these years, and after replacing Xu Jingzong, he became the prince and prince, so he said these words with love. Rationale.

The most important thing is that since he took charge of Chongwen Pavilion, he has become disbelief in ghosts and gods. He asks for rain but not rain. Since the appearance of the crude dry ice, the student poured a bowl of water in front of him. , Immediately became fairy mist, not only was shocked at first, but almost worshipped that student.

Until the student gave him a specious explanation of the truth, including the principle of the steam in the steamer, Shangguanyi no longer believed in ghosts and gods, and Yuan Tiangang even came to Chongwenguan several times to perform his duties. , Was reprimanded by Shangguanyi, pretending to be a fool!

Yuan Tiangang's temper? How can this be scolded without returning? Why did I pretend to be a god, and what I did was even praised by His Royal Highness! So the two quarreled in front of the students, and then met again. They both looked at each other through their nostrils, and didn't say a word.

Li Hong sighed helplessly, and said solemnly: "Yang Wu and Lian Tie have been ordered to stop. Chang'an and other places should also receive news of the carrier pigeon. I hope it can prevent all tragedies from happening." /

"His Royal Highness, Yang Wu and Lian Tie may not have enough manpower, do you want ministers from the Ministry of War..."

"Hurry up, let my father convict me of treason because of this? The Ministry of War can be used, but it is not used on it. Even if the father does not punish me, these ministers are talking about Yes, my father will be embarrassed too." Li Hong said with a headache.

"But as long as you can blow up the clouds and make rain, don't you blame your majesty?" Ren Yaxiang thought about it, and said in confusion.

"I said that, but it’s hard to say that this thing is not working well. What if it doesn’t explode and it rains, but a few people are killed? But then again, Yang Wu and Lian Tie are also deliberate. It’s decided later, if there really is a father queen or mother queen dark

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Supported, Yang Wu and Lian Tie came forward. They can handle the pressure, and the Ministry of War is probably worse. "Li Hong said while receiving messages from Shangguanyi.

The carrier pigeons have been prepared by Shangguanyi for a long time, and are placed in Chongwenguan students everywhere. Now, without the assistance of Shenji camp firearms, they have to start from the Taiyi City Medicinal Restaurant under the order of Li Hong. Misappropriating the sky thunder, and this matter, Li Hong is carrying a huge pressure, if it is not done, it will attract the real anger of his dragon father.

Although the medicinal food room is still under his control, if you want to use the contents, you must have the consent of his father dragon. Now, without consent, Li Hong embezzled it privately. If the rain did not blow out, he would die. If someone is wrong, then Li Hong will really suffer.

According to Li Hong’s idea, use the Kongming Lantern to install the sky thunder and send it to a place close to the clouds with dry ice. But how to control the sky thunder lead depends on whether the people in the medicinal kitchen have skillful craftsmen and can grasp the time difference. .

This is why the Chongwen Pavilion is okay to hold the rabbit in the sky lantern, or put other things into the sky, just to calculate the skylight time and speed of the sky lantern under the conditions of different weight and different air pressure.

Looking at the strips of paper untied from the pigeon’s legs in my hand, this time the cloud cover even covers the entire Henan Road and Guanzhong area, and the rain-deprived places are Luoyang City and Chang'an. Li Hong has to take care of the surrounding areas. Don't blow up the rain. It will be troublesome to blow up a hole in the palace.

The weather factor is too unpredictable. In Anxi, he is idle and has nothing to do, and there is a large area and sparsely populated. Unlike here, there are too many people gathered, so it might be imprisoned. .

"Let’s start, just try it from the embankment of the Yellow River that I visited yesterday~IndoMTL.com~ Remember to tell them that as soon as the Kongming Lantern is released, you should ride back on a fast horse and don’t stay here waiting for the rain. , The spread of clouds seems slow, but the coverage area cannot be accurately measured by our naked eyes." Li Hong watched Ren Yaxiang followed Shangguanyi and said.

Wuwei of the Ministry of War, together with the students in various places, is equivalent to protecting those students’ comfort, because if the lunatics are not obedient, it’s not impossible to stand under the lantern and wait for the rain, even someone has already I started to wonder if the thunder could be transmitted through the kite.

Li Hong has always been open to their dying style, but he has to choose the right time for his dying. If he can’t do dying, he is not involved.

Shangguanyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said helplessly: "His Royal Highness, this is a generation of students who have been influenced by you. Now, there are only things you can't think of, and nothing they dare not do. To be honest, even ministers often do Fear and fear, let’s talk about this money, not to mention anything else. Which group doesn’t hold tens of thousands of money in their hands. If they have money, they would rather gnaw sesame cakes every day, but also want to lure the thunder and lightning down, or be tricked. Go to the sky with a Kongming lantern that can pretend to be human."

"Don't be afraid of falling to death, let them do it." Li Hong said angrily.

"I didn’t fall to death, but I jumped from the top of the mountain with a so-called parachute. There were several broken legs, but that’s it, my legs weren’t good enough, so I ran out and tried again without telling my family. ."Up

Guan Yi and Ren Yaxiang followed Li Hong's order to issue orders, while talking about the craziness of this Chongwenguan student.

"Remember that the medical expenses are given from the college." Li Hong calmly put the information note sent by Li Jingmen on the candle and said with a smile, watching it turn into ashes.
