Rules Weird Talk: I am more perverted than weird!

It was half a month later that I saw the emperor again. In the court:

"My dear, I feel that the sky is gloomy all day long. Why doesn't it rain?"

"Yes, I received a memorial the day before yesterday. There has been a severe drought in the north for more than a month. There is no grain harvest. Many refugees have gathered outside the city."

The comments were indignant: "Are these people just for free? There has been a severe drought for many days and refugees have gathered, but he said he received the news only the day before yesterday."

"Don't get excited. You think this is modern times. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and the journey was exhausting. It was normal for the message to be transmitted slowly for a while."

"Bullshit! The news came only after the refugees had already reached the gates of the capital. Are you saying that the people who reported the news on horseback were not as fast as the people?"

"Gloomy?"

Xu Ye raised his head and glanced at the already dark sky.

In the past, the emperor and his ministers felt that the sky was clear and the sun shone directly on the entire capital city, which was brilliant. This was because they, as human beings, could not see polluted things.

But now, this group of people are more or less contaminated by some strange aura and are all polluted.

Nature can see things that humans cannot see, and it feels like the sky is beginning to darken.

It’s just that the time was too short and the pollution on their bodies was not serious enough, so these people now just feel that “the weather is bad”.

They mistook the strange air for dark clouds.

"Imperial Master, can you solve this problem?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty!" Li Rusong stood up and said, "I think that praying for rain will require a lot of effort from the Imperial Master to succeed. We should not be careless like we were last time. We should prepare food and utensils for the sacrifice so that God can feel our intentions."

He winked at Xu Ye, signaling him to cooperate.

Xu Ye pretended not to see it and said firmly:

"No, it will definitely rain at the hour of Xu three days from now."

Li Rusong was very dissatisfied with this answer, and said something fierce: "Grandmaster, praying for rain is a big deal. If we don't take it seriously, what if we anger God?

Do you dare to guarantee with your life that it will rain in three days?"

"Yes, if it doesn't rain, I will chop off your head." Xu Ye was not afraid of such threats. He shook his sleeves and spoke casually.

"Your Majesty, I also think that praying for rain is a serious matter. We should not listen to the one-sided words of the Imperial Master." Song Yang stepped forward and strongly supported Li Rusong's point of view: "If we anger God, the consequences will not be borne by the Imperial Master alone."

After arguing for a while, the three of them looked at the emperor, waiting for his decision.

"This..." The emperor looked embarrassed. Finally, he looked at Xu Ye and said, "Of course I believe in your ability, but I still have to be cautious when it comes to praying for rain."

Well, the outcome is decided, Xu Ye lost.

Comment: "I can probably understand that Li Rusong was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he was in charge of the Heavenly Sacrifice, so he could make a lot of money from it.

But Xu Ye clearly said that he didn't need these empty tricks, and he had proven his strength, so why did the emperor agree? "

"Could it be that the emperor also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to have some fun?"

"You are stupid. At this critical moment, instead of wasting food on offering sacrifices, it is better to distribute the food to the people outside the city to solve their urgent needs."

"It really fits the saying: Rich people live in luxury, while the poor people freeze to death on the streets. I saw a real-life version of this today."

Xu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled. The corners of his lips curled up with a strange evil look: "Of course."

"Whatever your majesty thinks, that's it."

"It's best to hold a grand ceremony to let the heavens feel your sincerity. I believe that after the people learn the truth, they will surely praise your majesty's achievements."

Anyone who hears someone opposing one second and then changing his expression the next will know that there is a bit of irony in it.

But the emperor didn't understand.

He laughed: "Really? I thought so too."

Barrage: "Tired, destroy it."

"It's as if the emperor doesn't understand what people are saying."

"Rather than saying he has no opinion of his own and likes to blindly follow the ministers' words, it is better to say he is too self-righteous. He has never suffered the hardships of the people and thinks that everyone in the world is the same as him, so why not eat meat porridge."

……

When Xu Ye returned from court, Lan came to greet him at the door. After a period of living a life of luxury, he had begun to rely on Xu Ye. He immediately observed Xu Ye's expression:

"Did someone make the Imperial Master angry today?"

"No." Xu Ye shook his head: "Three days later, His Majesty asked me to pray for rain at Tongtian Terrace."

Lan looked at Xu Ye with admiration, and there seemed to be a gleam in her eyes: "Can I go with you?"

He whispered, "I've heard about the power of the Imperial Master. Lan wants to see it with her own eyes."

Xu Ye said generously: "Okay, I will do my best to satisfy you if you like it."

Lan blushed slightly at these words.

Three days passed in a flash and Lan was very excited.

Since Xu Ye is willing to bring him out, does it mean that he already has a certain position in the other person's heart?

These days, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Imperial Master's Palace obeyed his orders, and Xu Ye never asked any questions and just followed his instructions.

Being appreciated by Xu Ye not only gives him love, but also power.

At the rain-praying site, Lan met Zhu, who had been there with her before.

In just half a month of not seeing each other, the other person's figure had become visibly thinner, and the area of ​​his neck not covered by the collar was covered with many scars of varying sizes. There was one scar so dark that it went straight down to under the collar.

Lan said with some pity and a bit of boasting: "After the rain prayer is over, come with me and I will go to the Imperial Master's Palace to get you some excellent medicine for your injuries."

Zhu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It seems that the Imperial Master likes you very much."

He felt a little regretful. Why did he choose another answer? It seemed that this was a test from the national teacher.

Lan couldn't hide the pride on her face.

……

Not far away, Xu Ye was preparing things for praying for rain.

In fact, there was nothing to prepare, but the guys from the Ministry of Rites, led by Li Rusong, kept sending people to burn incense for Xu Ye and wash his hands.

It seems that without these steps, it would be impossible to show how much effort they had put into praying for rain during this period, nor could it cover up the fact that they had collected a large amount of taxes from the people for such a small matter and filled their own mansions with wealth.

Shuangyu walked over, looked at the two young men who were talking not far away, and said lightly: "You are sending him to death with your own hands."

This "he" naturally refers to Lan.

People born in humble circumstances, when facing a superior who has the power to kill them, should always maintain a minimum level of alertness in order to have a chance to survive.

Because the preferences of those in power are constantly changing. They can crush you to death as easily as crushing an ant.

It is a very foolish choice to desire to maintain a wealthy life through pampering.

The right thing to do is to try your best to demonstrate your value.

That Lan is a little too complacent. Sooner or later he will ruin himself.

Shuangyu, as a person in a higher position and also a "lower position" at certain times, is very clear about this.

Xu Ye simply said: "He chose it himself. I asked him."

Shuangyu stopped dwelling on this topic. It was someone else's business and had nothing to do with her. She looked at Xu Ye, her beautiful eyes twinkling with surprise: "I didn't expect that you could also understand the stars. I underestimated you before."

"How about it, would you consider cooperating?"

"What cooperation?"

Shuangyu leaned in close and whispered in Xu Ye's ear: "Rebellion, do you dare?"

"Not interested in."

With a "bang", Frost Jade flew two meters away and fell on the newly built wooden shelf.

"I told you, if you come this close again, you'll get beaten."
