Proton is Emperor [Rebirth]

Chapter 69 "Strange Man"

The new emperor begged for rain four times, but no rain fell.

After praying for rain for the fourth time, an earthquake occurred in the city of Chang'an at the foot of the Son of Heaven. Although it was just a small earthquake, no one died, but some dilapidated houses on the outskirts of Chang'an city collapsed, and several beggars living inside suffered. It's just an injury, but this is enough for the three kings to use this as an excuse to publicize that the new emperor is not the real emperor of the real dragon.

If the real Dragon Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, then when the son begged for rain, God would not answer it once, be awkward twice, and fail to hear it three times, but how could he hear it the fourth time?

But the new emperor begged for rain four times in a row, and four times he begged for rain, but no rain fell.

And for the fourth time, the city of Chang'an was directly shaken!

Isn't this just a "hint" from heaven?The heavens are telling them that the new emperor sitting on the dragon chair is not at all the real dragon emperor that he is looking for!This new emperor was originally destined not to be an emperor!Because he became the emperor, there will be a disaster year this year; because he became the emperor, he prayed for rain four times, but no rain fell from the sky; If there are too many, the sky will naturally be angry and send down earthquakes as a warning!

Such rumors spread countless times, no matter in the domain, other places in the Daqing Dynasty, or in the city of Chang'an.

The people of this era are very simple.

However, the other side of simplicity is the illiteracy, ignorance, ignorance and superstition of many people caused by the policy of ignorance.

Under ignorance and superstition, after hearing these rumors again, the common people thought carefully, even though they were grateful for the policy of lowering taxes and lowering salt prices after the new emperor ascended the throne, if he is not the real dragon emperor, is it true? , the real true dragon emperor, will appear again?And when the real dragon emperor appears, will the world start to be in chaos again, and wars will start again?

If this is the case, since the current new emperor is extraordinarily humble and benevolent, he might as well personally send someone to find out the real emperor of the real dragon, and then take the initiative to abdicate.In this case, will there be fewer wars in the world?Can their common people live more stable and peaceful days?

Such rumors spread almost immediately after the earthquake.

Xie Hanying listened to what the ministers said with an ugly face, and finally sent everyone away with a cold face, leaving only a few prime ministers.

Meng Xiang is the head of the four prime ministers, and his face is also very ugly.

He stood up first, frowned and said: "Sage, this is not right."

Xie Hanying also relied heavily on this Prime Minister Meng, and finally put away the chill on his face when he heard the words, and said, "Please tell me, Prime Minister Meng."

Meng Xiang paused for a moment, then said: "Zibuyu is weird and chaotic. The old minister has been familiar with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius for several years, so he shouldn't have such strange thoughts, but... the sage probably also discovered it. On that day, the sage prayed for rain. Behind the stage, an earthquake occurred. Then, when the group of people rushed back to the palace, rumors spread everywhere. Not only Chang'an City and its surroundings, but also other places, including Zhao The land, including Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong and Guangxi, where the news came later. According to those news, these news were spread everywhere on the day when the earthquake occurred."

Xie Hanying was stunned, but also recalled it, picked up the teacup, and said for a long time, "Meng Xiang meant that someone had already guessed the occurrence of this event before I went to the stage to pray for rain and before the earthquake occurred, and, People who spread rumors have been arranged in advance in various places, and let them wait for me to pray for rain and earthquakes, and then immediately spread the rumors—and those people who are far away in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yungui, and Zhaodi, in fact, at that time , it has not yet been determined whether an earthquake has occurred?"

Meng Xiang stood with his head down and said, "The sage is intelligent."

Xie Hanying's complexion became particularly ugly.

Several other prime ministers also got up and stood up, and one of the oldest prime ministers - Prime Minister Xie, a member of the royal Xie family, stood up and said tremblingly: "Saint, in ancient times, it was rare for emperors to pray for rain. The successful ones. The successful ones recorded in the history books are probably only a few times in the many rain-seeking successes in their lives. The merits and faults of those emperors never depend on whether the rain-seeking is successful or not, but whether they make the people healthy , to make the world peaceful, whether the prayer for rain is successful or not is just a small matter. The saint is generous and has hills and valleys in his chest. He should not care about such rumors and gossips. He should be tolerant and tolerate this matter with a smile. Seeking capable people and sages from all over the world, so that the people of the world can find ways to overcome this calamity, is the most important thing for a sage to do now."

Prime Minister Xie is now an octogenarian. Although Xie Hanying became one of the prime ministers after Xie Hanying ascended the throne due to the invitation of the late emperor before his death, he often said that he was sick and could not go to court. He only came once or twice a month.

It's just that Xie Hanying was well aware of Prime Minister Xie's ability, so she got up from the table when she saw this, helped Prime Minister Xie herself, and made people put them on the bed, and everyone sat on the bed. It's true, it's Hanying's photoshoot."

Xie Xiang was originally Xie Hanying's elder, and he was the one with a very high seniority. Seeing this, he was able to accept Xie Hanying's slight salute. He lifted Xie Hanying tremblingly, and said with a smile: "The sage is young, and there are tigers and wolves watching around. It's not a strange thing to be disturbed by all kinds of things, and be blinded for a while, unable to see the truth and calculations clearly. It's just..." Xie Xiang paused, and then continued, "It's just that there are many strange people in this world. The old minister once I heard that there are strange people in this world, although they do not have the ability to change the sky, nor do they have the talent to stop the rain from falling or to make sudden earthquakes, but there are some people who have the ability to predict the world's severe drought and earthquakes in advance..."

Meng Pang also said from the side: "I think so too. Presumably, among the three kings, there must be such a strange person by his side, so that after that day, news will spread in the world immediately."

After Meng Xiang finished talking with the other two ministers, he thought for a while and said, "Beside King Jing, there is a man named Gu Hongzi. He is neither a monk nor a Daoist, but he is full of talent and learning. On the other hand, this person is a man of great talent and ambition to rise above the clouds, but at that time, because of the grace of a cup of tea, he lived next to King Jing, who was only the third son of the vassal king at that time..." After a pause, Meng Xiangsiang felt that he had made a mistake. Then he continued, "This is not what I want to say. What I want to say is that old Ning Yuanhou and Gu Hongzi also had a few encounters back then. In other words, Gu Hongzi once said that he would die on the battlefield, and his son would do the same, and advised him not to take all three outstanding sons to the battlefield, otherwise, the three sons he hit would all die in their prime. ..."

As a result of that battle, the old Ningyuanhou, the grandfather of King Zhao and the father of Jiang Bai, the current Ningyuanhou, did indeed die on the battlefield, and two of his most outstanding three sons died and one disappeared.

And the missing one was finally found after several years, under Zhao Wang Xie Yuan's tireless search.

And that Gu Hongzi was indeed right.The old Marquis Ningyuan had four sons in his life, three of them were sons born on the same day, two died and one disappeared. Not long after, the only surviving dude and concubine killed himself.Could it be that the third son died in his prime?

Everyone was silent for a while, and Xie Hanying sighed: "It's a pity that such talents are not used by me." Then he smiled, "However, I have all the virtuous ministers who care about the people of the world, but it is enough .”

For a time, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, and Xie Hanying was no longer as angry and angry as before—yes, whether the emperor is determined by God, whether he is a benevolent emperor, or not, can be determined by just a few prayers for rain and an earthquake of?Even if Uncle Sanhuang really has strange people there.But what about strange people?He is orthodox in the world, and he has the help of capable people who maintain orthodoxy in the world, but he doesn't need to care about the one or two "strange people" who are not used by him.

Xie Hanying thought so, went to the harem, and met his three daughters and one son - he has no prejudice against his children, seeing the appearance of his daughters Xiao Douding, he even saluted himself sternly and smiled slightly , I asked them carefully about their basic necessities of life, the questions were very detailed, and the people and teachers chosen for the daughters were also very polite and transparent.

After asking about the situation of several daughters, he began to stare at his son with wide eyes.

It was quite difficult for him to get this son - Xie Hanying felt that he seemed to be a bit like his father. After having several daughters under his knees, he finally got such a son. Naturally, he loves this son a lot, Also a lot stricter.

But although this son is only a little over one year old, he is extremely clever and cute, and he is fair and good-looking. Rao, Mrs. Gao, can't help but prefer this grandson. Xie Hanying looked at the expression on his son's face and thanked him. The appearance is far similar, so naturally I like it more.

It's just that he also knows about it, and it's good that he knows it himself. He never talked to Gao Shi, only talked to his son often, and then thought about it, when A Yuan was young, he must have been as clever and cute as his own son.

But it's a pity that although this son is smart, he doesn't have the photographic memory like A Yuan and Dad. On the contrary, he is like Xie Hanying himself. Smart is smart, but it's just the smart of ordinary people.

Xie Hanying had brought this son to meet the four prime ministers a long time ago, and the four prime ministers were obviously a little sorry when they saw this, but Xie Hanying didn't care much about this aspect-the superior person does not necessarily have to be that smart.Moreover, Huiji will be hurt. He used to think that his father was so smart, so he died young, so what should A Yuan do?In private, he really worried about A Yuan for a long time, until now, he is still like this, every time he burns incense, he not only prays for the prosperity of the country and the people, but also prays for A Yuan's longevity.Now if his son is that smart, wouldn't he have to worry about one more person?As it is now, it's just right.

Mrs. Gao obviously really likes this grandson. Seeing his son teasing his grandson for a while, he smiled: "By the way, my grandson is already two years old. Now, it's time to come up with a name to save time." Such a big man shouting, not to mention a big name, but he doesn't even have a decent nickname."

Gao Shi can be regarded as seeing it.In the past, when Xie Hanying had no son, each palace would stay overnight for a few days every month.Now that he has a son, every palace will reward him with something every month, but he only goes to Concubine Wan, as if he only looks for Concubine Wan.

Gao was also angry and scolded, but she had a guilty conscience towards Concubine Wan, and behind Concubine Wan, apart from Xie Hanying, there was also the reclusive Princess Luoping who stayed behind in Chang'an City and refused to leave. Relying on it, Gao can't do anything to Concubine Wan, so he can only persuade Xie Hanying with a dark face, but how can Xie Hanying listen to persuasion?The whole person looks like one child is enough.

After a long time, Gao thought it would be like this for the time being.Besides, Da Lang is really smart, cute and likable, so he also recognized him for the time being, and it will be safe to let Xie Hanying have more sons when he finds a more suitable person in the future.

Xie Hanying heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "His elder sisters haven't been officially named yet, so he doesn't need to worry. However," he thought for a while, then said, "All the children can be named. nickname."

Then he called the three daughters over, one by one: "A Song, Ah He, Ah Chun." Pointing to his only son, he said, "Ah Chang."

The corner of Gao's mouth twitched.

Okay, Songhe Changchun, just use it for all four children.

Although it is not in line with the original intention, these four characters are all good intentions when viewed separately. It is obvious that Xie Hanying wants to keep the four children and prevent them from dying early.

She sighed, knowing her son's fatherly heart, she didn't care about it, and said: "That's all, it's up to you. But, what do you think of your younger brother's marriage? The daughter of the Gao family... But there are also That's right, what do you think?"

Xie Hanying paused, held Ah Chang in his arms and teased him for a while, and said: "Since this is Rong Ying's marriage, Rong Ying likes it, so I have nothing to say. But if Rong Ying doesn't like it... Aunt, son There are many helplessness in this life, but I don't want Rongying to have the same helplessness as my son."

Gao's face changed, but he still forced a smile and said, "Aniang will ask Rongying well."

Zhaodi.

After Xie Yuan and Yin Shou had some flirting, Xie Yuan sighed lightly, stretched out his finger and poked Yin Shou's chest, saying: "You should go."

Yin Shou said sullenly: "If you don't leave, you have to guard Ah Yuan."

Back then Xie Yuan would choose the word "Shou" for him, because he guarded Xie Yuan for one night in the mountains and forests, driving away those wild beasts that smelled blood.

And now, Yin Shou also wants to keep guarding his A Yuan.

Xie Yuan sighed: "Three kings are ambitious, I'm afraid this time is just the beginning. Wait until later... If this natural disaster is just a coincidence, that's all. However, I have checked many records in the south and the north, and the north has been there for several years. There has never been such a drought, and there has been no flood in the south for several years. But, counting the years...now, it is almost the same."

There has always been drought in the north and flood in the south.

In the past few years, the south and the north have been stable for so many years, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment for several years.

But now, the time has come, no matter how talented Xie Hanying is, he can't resist that kind of natural disaster, and there are methods behind the three kings.

Therefore, Xie Yuan wanted to let Ah Shou go back to the feudal land and help Xie Hanying guard the northwest.

Yin Shou turned over and overwhelmed Xie Yuan again, with a hoarse voice: "Don't return! Ah Yuan, don't think about Xie Hanying, think about A Shou! A Yuan, think about A Shou!"

After that, Xie Yuan really could only think of him in his head with his own actions.

After the matter was over, Xie Yuan frowned, and asked people to read many books and bamboo slips, and compiled many methods of waterlogging prevention into a booklet, which was quickly handed over.
