Ten Ways Not Having a Cheats Leads to Flooding

After a night of careful thinking, Tao Mujia still decided to give Lian Cha and Si Tiange an explanation. Although doing so would be a bit cruel to Dugu Qi, if he waited for an outsider to give an explanation, it would be too late.

He is not Teng Luo, and he does not have the ability to predict destiny, but he knows that these natural disasters will not stop because of a sacrifice, and the sacrifice can only give them short-term psychological comfort.

As for Liancha, he has already paid more attention to his protection of Dugu Qi, but his attitude is not clear, and he tends to disagree more.

Tao Mujia looked at himself in the mirror with his hair hanging loose, he had a sleepless night, dark circles appeared under his eyes, and he looked haggard.

After combing his hair, he walked to the Tiange, where everyone gathered, and Dugu Qi also knelt and sat aside.

The students and subordinates all looked at him without saying a word, and the darkness filled all the open space of the Tiange.

Every pair of eyes had recorded the big event yesterday, and it was impossible for this matter to be concealed. Some of their faces were gloating, some were anxious, and some were worried.

Tao Mujia looked around and found it boring, so he stood still in front of them and announced the decision to them.

"Your Majesty did not pursue Dugu Qi's disturbance of the sacrificial ceremony, but everyone wants me to give an explanation. Then I declare that Dugu Qi will light the lamps in the Tiange for one year, pray for the people for one year, and punish myself for half a year. Everyone can Satisfied."

The people below looked at each other, apparently not knowing what he meant by lighting the lamps.

"I'm afraid everyone doesn't know that there is another floor on the Tiange. There is a heavenly lamp on it, which is dedicated to praying for the people. Now that Dugu has broken the ceremony, he is going to light this lamp."

The people below suddenly realized that some people still felt that the punishment was too light.

"Lighting a lamp also bears the destiny, and consumes Yangshou, this student, do you want to try such an honor?"

Everyone in the room was more or less in awe of the gods. When they heard that Yangshou was about to be consumed, they immediately took two steps back. Even Dugu Qi was a little moved. Unfortunately, Tao Mujia didn't have time to explain to him now.

The field was quiet, and the sound of the wind blowing the yellow leaves could be heard quietly. Tao Mujia felt tired and funny looking at the crowd.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's make a decision like this, and this sect will report to His Majesty." Tao Mujia asked Yin Bo to bring Dugu Qi to the top floor, and he went out to court with four servants.

Hope value +10, currently hope value -2.

Dugu Qi's tense body relaxed slightly, and he raised his head to look at the tall Tiange, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This matter was reported to Lian Cha in detail after he came down to the court. Lian checked him twice and didn't say much, letting him decide for himself. As for the ministers, Lian Cha also took care of it.

After returning to the Tiange, Bo Yin told him that Dugu Qi had already made arrangements and was on the top of the Tiange. Tao Mujia nodded and let them go to the busy things and go up by himself.

There is indeed a small attic above the Tiange, and there is indeed a Tianbao lamp, but this Tianbao lamp has never been lit since its birth. Teng Luo said that the time to light the lamp has not yet come, and he does not know if it is now.

Tao Mujia walked to the eighth floor, his office, and then turned the seat, a staircase leading to the top appeared. He walked up slowly, and the door closed behind him.

ninth floor.

The space is very narrow, the highest place is no more than two meters, and the shortest place is no more than 1.5 meters, so you can't even stand up straight.

A lamp sits on a tall and straight base, almost flush with the spire, and the spire of the Tiange is surrounded by glass sheets. At night, this lamp lights up, and everyone in Juyang City can see it. .On one side of the attic are long hooks and lighting tools, and on the other side is a layer of mattresses and a table.

Dugu Qi sat on his knees in front of the desk and quietly read a book, when he saw him coming, he raised his head and called out to his lord.

Tao Mujia sat down opposite him and stared at him.

Being looked at by him like this, Dugu Qi couldn't read the book, so he closed the book.

"Is there anything my lord wants me to do?"

"Are you dissatisfied with my punishment like this?"

"Sir, this punishment is already very light, and it is hardly considered a punishment."

Tao Mujia smiled, "Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

Dugu Qi moved his lower lip, "Scared."

"Oh." Tao Mujia didn't know who he was referring to with this laugh, maybe he was laughing at Dugu Qi's innocence, or maybe he was laughing at his own incompetence, "Don't be afraid, your life is hard, you can live a long life .”

Dugu Qi looked at him with some puzzlement, but Tao Mujia didn't explain further.

"From today, you will live here for a year, and you will suffer a lot. If you really can't stay, just knock on the door, I can hear you, and let you out to rest."

"Thank you, my lord, do I still need to take the assessment?"

Tao Mujia glanced at him, "Yes, I will give you the test myself."

Dugu Qi grinned, foolishly, Tao Mujia couldn't help but patted his head.

"Get familiar with this place first, and I will teach you how to light the lamp after I finish my work."

Tao Mujia saw that it was getting late outside and was about to go back. Dugu Qi suddenly remembered something and asked him hurriedly: "My lord, is my concubine mother okay?"

Tao Mujia paused, "Don't worry, she's much better than you, she's all veiled, no one will find her."

Dugu Qi felt relieved, walked out of the table, knelt down towards Tao Mujia, kowtowed to him, "Thank you, sir."

The hope value is +5, and the current hope value is +3.

Tao Mujia looked sideways at Dugu Qi and saluted, feeling sour in his heart, this was not their fault, but let a child bear it.

"Get up, you don't have to salute me." He walked down, no longer looking at Dugu Qi.

Dugu Qi raised his head, there was no one on the stairs, he sat back a little disappointed, the feeling of loss was inexplicable, before this morning, he thought that this person would use the excuse to make him leave Sitian Pavilion forever, but this person didn't He thought that if this person was not punished, he would tell about his mother, but there was no such person. He was not sure if he could still treat this person as an enemy.

From the moment he was declared a disaster star by the envoy, Ruan Mingzheng told him that Lian Guo's national teacher and emperor were his enemies, and three years of hard life did not tell him this fact every day, but now he found out I can't hate myself.

"I'm afraid I've really been drugged." Dugu Qi murmured and lay down on the mattress.

This matter slowly subsided like this, and Lian Cha asked about the situation several times, but no one mentioned it again.

After the sacrificial ceremony, the disaster situation in various places also eased, and the court hall was full of joy. Looking at this group of people, Tao Mujia felt a little ridiculous.

Sacrifice is never the solution to the problem. It is ridiculous that officials in charge of various departments failed to take effective measures before the disaster and pinned their hopes on sacrifice.

Don't ask the common people, ask ghosts and gods, there is no shortage of such people in any era.

The day before New Year's Eve, Lian Guo made his last imperial court this year. This time, Lian made a brief statement about his plans for next year, discussing which countries he will fight against next year, and which countries he will negotiate peace with. It was bloody.

Tao Mujia couldn't help saying that the drought and floods have only been experienced this year, and the people need to recuperate.

Lian Cha refuted his opinion, "I have to rest every year, and I am afraid that I have raised a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron to recharge my energy."

Tao Mujia retreated resentfully, and the courtroom was arguing over which one to fight first and which one to fight first.

1551 said earnestly: Although I know you don't want to fight, but this is the way it is in this era, the strong prey on the weak, if you don't fight others, they will come and fight you.

Tao Mujia sighed: Yes, I also know that in Xing, the people suffer, and in death, the people suffer. I just feel sorry for those who have only experienced natural disasters.What's more, the Lian country imposes heavy taxes, heavy corvees, and no matter how many wars, it will perish sooner or later.

1551: Isn't that just in line with the destiny?

Tao Mujia: Lian Cha really has nothing to say to Teng Luo, I still want to help him, but now it seems...

There was no reason for arguing in the court hall. The public said that the public is right and the woman said that the woman is reasonable. Lian Cha frowned, with deep impatience in his eyes, got up and walked out of the court hall. The people in the court hall were silent, Gao Liujian Thin voice shouted: "Back to the court——"

Tao Mujia was called over again without a doubt.

This time Lian Cha didn't wait for him in the palace, but in an inconspicuous place outside the palace, wearing casual clothes, just as Tao Mujia was about to get in the carriage, he saw Lian Cha, left the carriage and walked over.

Lian Cha wore a relatively low-key black long gown this time, with a black rabbit fur cape outside, and waited for him with Gao Liu beside the three horses.

"His Majesty."

"Get on the horse and take you somewhere."

"Yes."

Tao Mujia got on his horse and asked his servants to go back first, so he followed Liancha alone.

He has never learned how to ride a horse, and the horse wobbles when it walks. Lian Cha looked back a few times, couldn't help curling his mouth, pulled his horse back a few steps to be level with Tao Mujia, and then pulled the rein in Tao Mujia's hand , lead him away.

"I remember when we were young, you fell off the horse, it seems that you have never ridden a horse since then."

Tao Mujia didn't know what to say, Lian Cha was talking about his childhood, but he couldn't get in at all.

"After we came back from being a hostage in Qi State, you seem to be a different person. You rarely talk to me." Lian Cha turned his head to look at him, and all he could see was his side face with his head down, and his eyes were shining brightly. The light faded.

"There was a fire in the Zhaohua Palace where my mother and concubine lived, and you were the first to rescue me."

"Why does Your Majesty recall the past today?"

Lian Cha let out a breath, and the hot air turned into white mist in the cold temperature, blurring his face.

"I'll tell you when I get there."

Looking at Lian Cha's face hidden under the hat, Tao Mujia saw the vicissitudes of life.

He is obviously still a young king, but he seems to have passed dozens of years, and he doesn't know if this is an illusion or real.

Lian Cha led him through the streets and alleys, through the city gate, and walked to the outer suburbs. The crowd gradually decreased, and a larger building gradually appeared in front of him. It stood like black iron under the sky.
