People all over the world blame Emperor Ziye for his mistakes. Although Yan Lan can be restored, he will be reprimanded for being unfilial and immoral in this life, and Emperor Ziye will also be cast aside by others.

Jiarui was silent for a while. Once upon a time, the father whom he looked up to and admired also enjoyed the fame of Yu Shun. Although he lost the final festival, Huimin also tried his best to cover it up. Could it be that his father who is so respected and loved like himself should bear the same infamy and become famous for the people all over the world? Ashamed?Jiarui was indecisive for a while, and his heart was shaken.

Although Huimin distorted the incident of the Qingcheng Rebellion, Emperor Zi Ye himself ordered the massacre of the people in the capital. Therefore, the courtiers who had been persecuting him were shaken emotionally by Jia Rui's words. It is true that the late emperor was not at fault. Unable to speak.It's just that it is not wise for the emperor to rashly issue an edict to sin against himself, so the imperial study room is still filled with admonitions of "please think twice".

"Okay, don't say any more. I understand and am very touched by the maintenance of the ministers. But now that natural disasters continue, it is a fait accompli, and Tong Aiqing's death is irreversible. , Yan Lan, and Tong Qinglian's reputation will be returned, and as for issuing an imperial edict against myself, I will listen to everyone's suggestions and reconsider."

"Nowadays the people are displaced and suffering from natural disasters, but I feel uneasy in the high bed in the deep palace. I decide to go to the Yuanfang Altar every day to apologize to heaven and earth in person. If ten days later Hezhou and the capital The rain hasn’t stopped yet, so please don’t persuade me about your sins. Also, Tong Jingyu, you release the assassin of the Moon Kingdom who was detained in Yanwei Division, count them as envoys, and move them to the Taiping Posthouse outside the palace. .Li Hanjun, I ordered you to concurrently serve as Minister of Rites, and let people treat you well with national courtesy."

"Kneel down..." Jiarui's voice sounded a bit bleak, he was obviously a heroic emperor in his prime, but his words made the courtiers feel a little desolate, so they all retreated silently, and in the end only Tong Jingyu stayed where she was.Tong Jingyu's eyes were actually indifferent, it was this person who ruined the Tong family, and could no longer keep Qinglian by his side.

Jiarui didn't blame Tong Jingyu for his rudeness. Before he could speak, he turned around and said, "Jing Yu, I'm sorry for your Tong family, and even more sorry for Qinglian. Take Qinglian out of the palace and go with your father. The late emperor's matter is not so easy to settle, Tong Qing is dead, I don't want to see any more accidents between you."

Originally, I wanted to propose to the emperor to let Qinglian out of the palace, but now Jiarui himself proposed to let Jingyu breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, Jiarui seemed to sigh and said: "Go to the imperial hospital to get some medicinal materials before leaving." Go back, now that Qinglian is weak, remember to use the best ones." Indeed, the ginseng antlers and caterpillar fungus that Qinglian uses now are all the most valuable in the world, and the folks may not be able to find them.

Hearing Jiarui say that she was so lonely, Tong Jingyu's heart softened for a while, no matter how wrong Jiarui was, she was still thinking of Qinglian, otherwise it would be too worthless for Qinglian to sit alone every night.Relying on her own Kowloon gold medal, Tong Jingyu went straight to Chaohualan Terrace every morning when the palace gate opened, and brought Qinglian who was sitting alone in front of the execution room with her knees wrapped around her back to the bed as early as possible to comfort him to sleep.Several times Qinglian passed out on the ground, hugging that cold and trembling body, Tong Jingyu clearly heard Qinglian muttering Jiarui's name in her dream.All the sadness had to be buried deeply, because this was Qinglian's choice, and because of this, Tong Jingyu couldn't see Jiarui bullying Qinglian again.

"Your Majesty, you know that the capital is currently water-poor, and my father instructs the people in the patrol battalion to pile up stones on the city wall every day to prevent floods from entering. There is already a vast ocean beyond the eight gates. How do we leave?" Tong Jingyu said : "Your majesty, the Tong family will not abandon the king when the country is in the most difficult time."

The gloomy eyes were instantly lit up. Tong Jingyu's words made Jia Rui very pleased. After all, perhaps even earlier in Yanweisi and Suzhou, the two monarchs and ministers had formed a deep friendship.When Tong Jingyu took Jiarui's Feijing sword on his knees, a pledge of loyalty was concluded. Now that Yin and the emperor are in danger, Tong Jingyu, who is devoted to the emperor and patriotic, will not choose to leave at this time even if he hates him in his heart.

"Okay, very good, Tong Jingyu, you are indeed the one I like! Qinglian's body still needs to be recuperated. If he is willing to stay, please respect his decision and let Qin Zhengqing still be in Nifang Palace as before. The little supervisor who took care of him went to Lantai to accompany him. If Qinglian wants to go home, you can take him back." Jiarui's face was gloomy, because he knew that Tong Siming's death was already a gap between the two of them. It can't be made up for, her father killed Yan Lan, and she killed Qinglian's grandfather, who is also the closest person, this kind of hatred, how can Qinglian let go of her heart.

Pray to heaven

The people are suffering, Qinglian is resentful, and the court is unstable. All kinds of troubles make Jiarui restless.Tong Siming committed suicide. Although Jiarui didn't give any explanation to the outside world, everyone in the court now believes that the emperor forced the good minister to death. Although Tong Siming was given the posthumous title "Wen" after his death and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao, it was the same as when Gu Tingxuan died. The courtiers harbored resentment in their hearts.

Letting go of the assassins of the Moon Kingdom also caused an uproar in the court. Although Yan Shoufang, who knew the truth, mediated and dealt with it, it was still difficult to appease the public's grievances.Jiarui repeatedly emphasized in the court that the Moon Kingdom is a holy place, and Qinglian is the son of God, but now disasters continue. After the assassins of the Moon Kingdom were released, the court and the people asked Qinglian to pray for heaven and rain as a priest from another country. higher.Faced with all the pressure, Jiarui had no choice but to bear it silently, because he knew that Qinglian would definitely not agree now, and Jiarui, who had suffered a lot, was unwilling to persecute him any more.

Since the blood moon disaster on August [-]th, Jiarui has moved very little every day, and spends most of his time in the imperial study dealing with government affairs, trying his best to make up for the country's losses caused by the disaster.But now there is a vast ocean outside the city walls of the capital, and there is constant autumn rain, making Jia Rui extremely desperate.

Jia Rui said among the courtiers yesterday that he would go to the Yuanfang Altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens, and for a period of ten days, he would decide whether to sin against the world and reveal the truth about the chaos that happened in the city.So today at Sishi, Jiarui got up from the desk, and at the appointed time, Tong Jingyu stood outside with a group of guards and inner supervisors, ready to go to the Yuanfang Altar to personally apologize to the heavens.

Jia Rui signaled everyone to wait, and ordered Tong Jingyu to change clothes in the inner room. "Qinglian, have you gone back?" Jiarui still didn't hold back, because he knew that Tong Jingyu would visit Lantai every morning.

"No, I told Qinglian that you let him go free, but Qinglian still chose to remain silent and stayed..." Tong Jingyu felt sad for the sadness in Qinglian's eyes, but she couldn't change Qinglian's choice.Because Tong Jingyu knows that Qinglian has been like this since she was a child. As long as it is something she decides, others cannot change him, just like facing her cold and ruthless self when she was young.

Hearing that Qinglian was still willing to stay, the heavy haze in her heart dissipated a little, and staying in Lantai showed that Qinglian did not completely hate herself.It's so close, you can still see it every night, even if it's just a shadow, Jia Rui thought, but his hands kept moving, changing into a brocade dragon robe.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to eat first?" Tong Jingyu reminded kindly from the side, because it was not as easy as I imagined for a while to respect God and apologize. "I understand your kindness, but you also know that you have to fast before going to the ancestral temple to pay respects to the gods. Besides, I still apologize, and I will talk about it when I come back. Seeing the people in the city suffer, I really don't know what to eat." Jia Rui walked past Tong Jingyu and patted Tong Jingyu's shoulder lightly as usual, and said, "Let's go, I'm going to apologize, if I miss the hour again, I'm afraid I really can't forgive it."

Although it was an emperor's trip, the canopy of the royal chariot was indispensable, but the autumn rain continued outside, and the Yuanfang Altar was in the suburbs of Beijing, so the low-key group did not cause much commotion in the city.When there was still one mile away from Yinguo Ancestral Temple and Yuanfang Altar, Jiarui abandoned his chariot and walked towards the most sacred place of worship in Yinguo.

The Huanfang Altar is where the ancestral temple of the Yin Kingdom is located, so under such a natural disaster, people have spontaneously come here to pray for the country, and ask for blessings from the heavens.Since it is not a national festival now, Linyuan has not been under martial law since before the Palace of the Emperor's Vault of Heaven, so Jiarui's journey still attracted some people's attention.

The rain is still falling unhurriedly, densely like a layer of smoke covering the world. It seems that the rain is not heavy, but the continuous rain has accumulated disadvantages, and the consequences can no longer be curbed.Jia Rui ordered people to remove the canopy, retreated left and right, and walked towards the Circular Mound Altar on foot.Not long after, the icy rain soaked Jia Rui's loose long hair and plain white clothes.

Knowing that the crime was serious, Jiarui covered his face with his hair covered and dressed in plain robes, and apologized to his family members in heaven and earth with sincerity.Although Jiarui and his party were very simple, and there were not many attendants guarding behind, the emperor's aura exuded from Jiarui's body, even in plain clothes and hats, made the people around him respectful.Where Jiarui walked, the people who came to pray for blessings were overwhelmed by his momentum, and naturally knelt down.

After entering Lin Yuan, since it was the emperor's sacrifice, Tong Jingyu asked the guards to keep the people outside, while Jiarui offered sacrifices to the heavens to apologize at noon and the sun was rising.From the moment he stepped into the forest garden, Jiarui bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.Kneel down, touch your forehead to the ground, three times, get up and take a step, do this again and again, the ceremony is meticulous.

There is a long bluestone royal road from Linyuan to the Circular Mound Altar, and there are thousands of steps. Jiarui walked forward with three kowtows at this step. an hour.When you kneel on the white marble steps and climb up the round altar in the open forest garden
