After rebirth, I became a national teacher

On this day, Emperor Yong'an once again led a luxurious sacrificial team and civil and military officials to Jiqingfang.

When Emperor Yong'an's carriage arrived about four or five streets away from the Jiqingfang courtyard, he heard noisy sounds coming from afar.

When he lifted the curtain of the car, he saw Meng Bin, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, who was personally leading people to drive away the nearby people.

There were so many people a few hundred steps away, probably more than 100,000 people.

Emperor Yong'an frowned:

"Why are there so many people?"

If there is an assassin among them, his situation will be very dangerous.

The chief eunuch Wang Zhong quickly stepped forward and replied:

"Perhaps he heard that Your Majesty was going to offer sacrifices to the gods, so he came here specially to see Your Majesty's mighty power!"

These words made Emperor Yong'an feel much more relieved.

He made the matter of the sacrifice widely known, mainly to inform the God of Du'e.

The last time he offered sacrifices to the gods, he discovered that the gods might not know that he was there to offer sacrifices, which was why they showed up a moment after he had left.

So, this time he directly posted the imperial edict to announce the matter a few days in advance.

In order to avoid the embarrassing situation again where he comes to worship the gods but the gods are away and cannot show up in time.

The common people admired the emperor's face, so it was natural for them to come and pay their respects to him when they heard that the emperor was coming.

"Forget it, let Meng Bin drive them out of the street."

After thinking about it, he was still not reassured, so he asked Wang Zhong to pass on the order to mobilize another 5,000 imperial guards.

After Emperor Yong'an arrived at Jiqingfang, he once again led hundreds of civil and military officials to worship the God of Du'e with a grand ceremony.

After a round of worship, the God of Du'e still did not appear.

The band of Taichang Temple began to play solemn ritual music and perform sacrificial dances.

The people gathered outside a street, and even further away, heard the music and lit incense and candles and prayed to the God of Du'e.

That’s right, they didn’t come here to see the face of God.

Most of these people are ordinary people who are busy making a living and simply don't have the time to travel so far to join in the fun.

The reason they came was because they heard that the emperor wanted to continue offering sacrifices to the gods and invite the God of Du'e to serve as the imperial teacher.

They hoped more than anyone else that the God would accept the emperor's invitation.

Therefore, on this day, they rushed to the site of the worship ceremony from all over the capital before dawn.

Only when the emperor offered sacrifices to the gods would he pray.

The more people there are, the louder the voice.

They also want to do their part to help pray to the gods.

In addition to the common people from all over the capital, those aspiring scholars from ordinary backgrounds in major academies also spontaneously participated in this prayer.

Scholars have always been the least likely to believe in ghosts and gods.

But after experiencing the plague, many of them personally experienced the power and mercy of God.

The court is now in a state of chaos, and they really hope that the God can come to the court to clean up the atmosphere.

In this way, when they enter the court as officials, they will have a chance to succeed.

Scholars are respected everywhere.

The scholars soon became the leaders of these spontaneously organized prayer teams.

The scholars walked to the front, lifted their robes, knelt down, and shouted loudly:

"God of Du'e, I pray that you will have mercy on the suffering of the people and come to the court to serve as the imperial teacher! The people of the Great Wei need the protection of the God!"

The people also shouted:

"Please ask the God to come to the court and be the national teacher!"

"Please bless God!"

The voices of hundreds of thousands of people were not uniform, but they were so powerful that they reached the sky.

Such sounds naturally reached the main altar.

Emperor Yong'an then realized that all the people gathered in Jiqingfang were there to pray to the gods.

These people were even more fanatical about the God of Du'e than about him, the emperor.

Such a thought flashed through his mind involuntarily, and he felt very uncomfortable.

But reason told him that he should not have disrespectful thoughts towards the gods.

Even if the people spontaneously pray to the gods, it will not have any impact on him.
