I'm pregnant after the regent loses his memory
Chapter 57 First Snow
Yan Sui extended his trip in Wuzhou, but King Wu hoped that he would leave quickly.Even if you don't go back to the capital, you can go to Jiangzhou and Bozhou, Wuzhou is really not safe.
"Just after the Kao Festival, the orphans suddenly disappeared. Now the whole city is closed, for fear that something will happen to their own children. Your Majesty is pregnant, so you should be more taboo. Let's go quickly." King Wu chanted in Yan Sui's ear. repeat.
Yan Sui summoned the officials in the middle of the night and issued strict orders to find the missing children as soon as possible.
After working hard for several days and staying up all night, Yan Sui's complexion was not very good, and he said to King Wu: "I don't believe it's evil spirits."
King Wu shook his head: "This is indeed too bizarre, I'm afraid it cannot be done by manpower."
"If gods and ghosts are real, the Kao Festival has just passed, and the gods are not far away, so they will not be unlucky; if the gods are useless, evil spirits are nothing to fear. I have reported Kao Festival every year before, and there have never been any accidents, but I am here In Wuzhou, something happened when we set up a government school for orphans, and I'm afraid the people behind it are targeting me."
King Wu was very pleased that the young emperor was able to reveal his true nature through the evil veil, and broke out in a cold sweat at the same time: "That's why His Majesty must leave as soon as possible! With the ability to kidnap the entire city's orphans in half a day, there must be a huge organization behind it."
"The entire country of Chen belongs to me, and the people are all my people. Since the villains dare to make trouble under my nose, they can't solve the problem by escaping and retreating. It's better to let the enemy be caught off guard than to keep the enemy in the dark. Take the initiative to attack." Yan Sui pressed his belly, "Uncle Huang, I won't leave until all the children are retrieved—how is that person teaching?"
King Wu knew that Yan Sui himself knew that he might not be able to conceive at full term, so he said with a heavy face that it was almost done, so Yan Sui nodded and went to rest.
The King of Wu was worried and asked Pei Liangfang if the emperor could give birth at full term.Pei Liangfang said that the situation is not optimistic. It is very difficult to conceive twins to full term, not to mention that His Majesty is tired from the journey and has been thinking too much these days.
"That is to say, it may be next month... seven lives and eight deaths... why is this child so stubborn!" King Wu looked at the moon and sighed, "No, at least let him accompany the delivery by His Majesty's side."
The letter was sent to the capital urgently.
Ever since Yan Sui left Beijing, Yan Zhi lived in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and went to the palace with Xu Jiashi and returned to the mansion every day.
Yan Zhi received the letter, looked solemn after reading it, and was about to burn it on the lamp when Xu Jiashi appeared behind him and easily grabbed the letter paper.
"Uncle Emperor—"
Yan Zhi hurriedly stood up: "Listen to my explanation!"
Xu Jiashi read the contents of the letter, held a corner of the letter paper with two fingers and put it on a candle, burning the black and white letters into ashes.
"The Emperor—"
Xu Jiashi interrupted him: "Let King Wu come to Beijing, and I will go to Wuzhou."
Yan Zhi pursed her lips and shook her head: "You set off immediately! I can be alone in the capital. Uncle Huang may give birth prematurely at any time, and he needs you more there."
Xu Jiashi looked at Yan Zhi silently.
Yan Zhi was a little anxious: "Don't worry, I can really take care of myself! Tengxiang four guards protect me, I will live directly in the palace from now on, there is no safer place! And, you know, I don't like Other ten-year-olds are so ignorant, I am fully capable of protecting myself! Uncle Huang, hurry to Wuzhou! When younger siblings are born, you must be by Uncle Huang's side!"
These words are indeed beyond the reach of an ordinary ten-year-old child. Living in the imperial city is not only about being protected by the imperial city and enjoying the supreme honor, but also controlling the world and overlooking all living beings.And Yanzhi is not incapable of being alone.
With mixed feelings in Xu Jiashi's heart, he breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and rubbed Yan Zhi's head: "I know. But no matter how talented you are, you are just a child in the eyes of the elders. The people I send to follow His Majesty will do it every day. Reply, of course I know that His Majesty may give birth at any time, and I can't wait to fly to His Majesty to accompany him and the child immediately. But Your Majesty is pregnant with my child, and you are His Majesty's beloved nephew, and you are also my nephew. I cannot let Your Majesty have an accident , nor put you in danger."
Yan Zhi was stunned: "Child... I thought that after you finished talking, you would no longer treat me like a child..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Jiashi smiled, "Only those who are slanderous and stupid are considered children? Early intelligence is easy to hurt, and you need to be more caring. If you don't take good care of you, your uncle probably really wants to divorce me."
Yan Zhi couldn't hold back her tears, hugged Xu Jiashi and began to cry loudly: "Wuuuu, Uncle Huang...how about I stop being nephews and recognize you as fathers!"
"Yes." Xu Jiashi patted Yan Zhi on the back, "Although you are only ten years younger than His Majesty, you will be the eldest son after adopting His Majesty's name, and Your Majesty will not have to worry about the names of the two children. You should be the heir to the throne—”
Yan Zhi suppressed the tears in an instant, and jumped away with a "呔": "Almost fooled! I'm not a son! Let's be a nephew... Uncle Huang, sensationalism belongs to sensationalism. I also know that you are good to me, but you should hurry to Wu Zhouzhou... Isn't Grandpa King Zhou's birthday coming soon? He may be in Wuzhou."
"In Wuzhou?" Xu Jiashi squinted his eyes and thought quickly, "You communicated with King Wu, and my father is also an insider. What happened back then..."
Yan Zhi evaded his eyes: "Anyway, Uncle Huang, you should go quickly. You can go to Wuzhou to exchange for Grandpa Wu Wang. You should be at ease with him by my side, right? Keep it secret from the outside world, and no one will know that you are not in the capital." He's not in Wuzhou, so I won't be in any danger, really. It's true that Uncle Huang asked you to take care of me, but if it's because of me, Uncle Huang made any mistake, I won't forgive myself. Uncle Huang, please, Go and accompany Uncle Huang."
Xu Jiashi was pulled by Yan Zhi's sleeves to wipe away his tears and snot. He silently looked up at the night outside the window, and then withdrew his soaked sleeves after a long time: "It's getting late, let's have a rest."
-
Wuzhou.
Seeing that November was approaching, the missing orphans seemed to disappear out of thin air like mud cows drowning in the sea. The government searched all over the city and found nothing.
"This is so unreasonable." Yan Sui pushed away the tender and sweet fish porridge, "There are so many children, big and small, if they are separated and detained, there will always be omissions to check. If they are centralized, they will cry What a big movement. How come there is no news at all?"
King Wu said: "Your Majesty, let's eat first. The government will do their best to search for it. Your Majesty's health is important."
Yan Sui felt the protests of the little ones in his stomach, and he picked up the porridge with a "hmm" and only ate a few mouthfuls, then asked King Wu: "Uncle Huang, haven't more children disappeared these days?"
Looking at the thinning Yan Sui, King Wu sighed: "No, you eat first, Your Majesty. Your majesty's golden body must not be damaged. In fact, your majesty doesn't have to worry about it so much. Those orphans who have no father or mother themselves It’s hard to live to be an adult—”
"Uncle Huang." Yan Sui put down the spoon, and the clinking of jade objects cut off King Wu's words, "My mother's queen was also an orphan without father or mother."
King Wu was stunned: "Your Majesty, the old minister made a slip of the tongue."
When Yan Sui got up, it was difficult for anyone in the royal family to understand his care for the common people. There were so many people in the Chen Kingdom, these hundreds of orphans were few in number and worthless.
But after all, it is human life. They have no father or mother, and as children, they face the difficulties of life and worry about feeding themselves against the cold.Yan Sui has nephews and children, and it is especially distressing to think of himself and others.
Besides, rich and poor, high and low do not necessarily remain the same for life, Yan Sui deeply feels this, and it is difficult to communicate with others.
King Wu and King Zheng are siblings of the same mother, and their mother is the honorable Princess Jingguo. They have pure royal blood. Even if they rule the world, being the co-lords of Jing and Chen is justified.
Yan Sui is different from them.
As clear as Xue Huai, as dark as everyone who knows his background, he will feel that he is not the emperor who obeys the fate as the son of a commoner queen, and the half blood from his mother makes him unbearable.
Although they have the same mother, Yan Sui and Yan Xu are different.
Yan Xu used his outstanding ability to block the mouths of many people. His words and deeds were noble and decent. He was born as a model prince.
But Yan Sui was still too immature, he couldn't avoid those pointed eyes.
In the past, he thought that he could act as if nothing had happened if he lowered his head and didn't look at it. It didn't matter what others thought, as long as he didn't say it out and embarrass him in person.
But after ascending to the throne, he was in a place where people all over the world looked up to, and there was no way to escape, but his speechless eyes were extremely sharp, enough to penetrate the bone marrow, making people restless.
It's useless to escape, Yan Sui finally realized, but didn't know what to do next.
It was Xu Jiashi who made him erect his unruly roots in a tough way, first confronted Xu Jiashi, and then confronted other people and things he didn't want to yield to, that made Yan Sui what he is today.
It would be great if Xu Jiashi was by his side.
Yan Sui gathered the fox fur tightly, and looked over the layers of blue tiles in the Prince Wu's mansion. It's going to snow, isn't it?When the capital is covered with snow, will Xu Jiashi take Jingyun to build a snowman and have a snowball fight?
A little envious or even jealous, Xu Jiashi didn't even build a snowman and have a snowball fight with him.
There was a strong fetal movement, and Yan Sui high-fived her belly and little hands through her clothes.
Good boy, do you miss Daddy very much too?Accompany your father to overcome blood discrimination with your performance, you are his pride, and your father should also work hard to be his father and mother, as well as the pride of your brother.
-
Yan Sui guessed right, this matter was indeed aimed at him.
Rumors quickly spread among the people——
The emperor was born to suppress his mother, with his own evil spirit. He would not live to be an adult, but absorbed the life of a child to grow to an adult.Now the east tour is also because it has sucked up the lives of the children in the capital, so it is the idea of the states.Those missing orphans were all sucked dry by the emperor into skeletons, and buried in Wu Wangfu, and it was useless to grow flowers.
Such absurd words won the trust of the common people. Although they did not dare to comment on Yan Sui, every family in the city closed their doors.Those with children are not allowed to go out to play, and those without children dare not go to the streets to do business.
The city of Wuzhou was shrouded in a gloomy and depressing atmosphere before the snow fell.
The common people hoped that Yan Sui would leave quickly, praying to Buddha at home, as if sending off the plague god.Yan Sui knew his situation, but he must not just leave without knowing why.
Since the incident happened, King Wu has been ill and has been lying in bed for several days. He said he was infected with a cold, and even Yan Sui did not see him.
Yan Sui thought, perhaps the disagreement was due to the fact that the emperor blamed himself for being troublesome, and felt that he was a little angry at taking risks.
But there is no way, this matter must be resolved.
The case cannot be solved in a day or two, but public opinion must be controlled first, and the people must not be taken advantage of by those who want to, otherwise it will arouse public resentment and anger, and the situation will be irreversible.
Yan Sui pondered and deliberated, and finally came up with a solution. He wanted to discuss with King Wu before taking action, but King Wu still closed the door.Yan Sui had no choice but to act alone——
Announce to the whole city that on October [-], the emperor will pay homage to the Huawang Temple to bring blessings to the people, and everyone can follow.
The reason why Yan Sui made up his mind to go to the Huawang Temple in person was because although he did not believe that the evil spirits were responsible for this incident, using gods to defeat the evil spirits was the most acceptable way for the common people, and it was also the fastest way to change public opinion.
Yan Sui's stomach is already very big for nearly eight months, but his limbs are still slender, and his winter clothes are heavy, and he wears a fox fur, which is thick from top to bottom, so that he can't even see his waist, except The movement is slow, and others can't see anything.
From King Wu's Mansion to Huawang Temple, more than two miles away, Yansui walks.
At first, no one was watching the excitement, but after all, everyone knew about it, doubts overwhelmed curiosity, and more and more people followed Yan Sui far away——
At first, there were some idle men without children, then there were more old people with sticks, and then there were young and middle-aged people. When they came to Kao Temple, there were even women who brought their children to see——
It is uncertain whether the rumors are true or not, but it is true that you can see the emperor, and you will never have the opportunity to be so close in this life.Even if the emperor can suck the child's energy, he can't suck it under the eyes of the dude!
Yan Sui must be careful during pregnancy, he has never walked so much like today, and he was sweating a lot when he arrived at Huawang Temple. Said: "Your Majesty, take a slice of ginseng to lift your Qi."
Yan Sui nodded, and stuffed a piece of ginseng that had been prepared in his sleeve under his tongue, then raised his eyes to see the Kao Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple: the kind Huagong and Huapo were sitting on top of them wearing flower wreaths and floral dresses, holding each other in their arms. with a fat doll.
Yan Sui knelt on the futon, praying silently in her heart——
If the gods have spirits, they will bless their children, and they will already be running around for the people while they are still in the womb.As a father, I really owe them a debt.
After begging himself, Yan Sui bowed his head to the statue, and when he raised his head again, he said loudly: "I am Yan Sui, the fifth emperor of the Yan family of Chen Guo, and I personally visit the Huawang Temple. I would like to ask the gods about the disappearance of Wuzhou children. Please let Hua Gong and Hua Po tell me. "Then he straightened his back and knelt with his eyes closed in silence, as if communicating with the gods.
Yan Sui knelt down in the temple, guards guarded the door, and the common people stood shoulder to shoulder to watch, and those in the front row could only see Yan Sui's back in fox fur.Those in the back can only see the back of the head of the person in front, not even Yan Sui's back, but they can hear Yan Sui's voice, which is not majestic and generous but clear as a phoenix's voice, which inexplicably has a calming and convincing power.
A woman holding a child said in a low voice, "It is said that the emperor is the son of God, can he really talk to gods? It sounds like that! Oh, my boy, don't cry..."
An old lady behind him recited "Amitabha": "You still dare to take the child out at this time, the child cries like this and loses his soul, young people nowadays are too careless to be parents..."
The child was crying intermittently, and the woman hesitated a little. She was about to step back when she suddenly found the old lady pushing herself forward a few rows: "Hey! Let me go home, you fell forward! You are not ashamed!" said Holding the child high and pushing forward, for fear that the child would not see the emperor—it was like this once in a lifetime, "My dear boy, you have to learn to be successful, see, learn from the emperor!"
Yan Sui was silent for a moment, then got up and turned to the people outside the temple, and said loudly: "Just now when I talked to the gods, Hua Gong and Hua Po praised Wu Zhou for his devout worship, and they all saw the sincerity of the people. Kao took pity on the helpless orphans, so he took them by his side and brought them up, which is a gift to Wuzhou good believers. Gods are unpredictable, and mortals panic at every turn. However, good and evil are rewarded, and the law of heaven is clear. Don't worry, everyone, I have just been with you Kao communicated and agreed that the orphans will be taken care of by the imperial court to provide them with food and clothing, hire officials and teachers to enlighten them, register their household registration uniformly, and treat them as good citizens.
As soon as the words fell, the people who had been whispering to each other quieted down, and after a while, someone suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"
As if awakened, the people came back to their senses one after another, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Men and women, old and young, cheered like a wave.
Although in the past, no amount of orphans could eat their own rice, but it is not good for a large number of uneducated children to wander around—or freeze to death and starve to death on the side of the road. An burial; even if the world grows up eating a hundred meals from well-intentioned people, they have no education and no means of making a living, so they become thieves and thieves, and they are caught and sent to the government. It's another disaster to be released after two days.
Call them pitiful, but who is not pitiful in this world?We can't take them home to raise them, no matter how big the family business is, it will be ruined.
But the situation is different with the imperial court in charge.There are a hundred children, a hundred mouths, and the cost of rations is just a drop in the bucket for the court.
If the orphans are properly disciplined, the law and order in Wuzhou can be improved to a higher level.
Yan Sui raised his hand to cover his abdomen with fox fur, and at the same time silenced the people.
"I made an agreement with the gods to release the children. But in the end, Hua Gong Hua Po is the god who protects children, loves children the most, and refuses to release them all at once, but Hua Gong Hua Po also agreed to send back a child every day. , and at the same time give Wuzhou people an extra pair of children every day."
As soon as Yan Sui finished speaking, there was the sound of a child crying under the altar table.
Yan Sui lifted the hanging tablecloth and carried out a three or four year old girl from under the table.
Almost at the same time, there were red and white flowers falling in the temple, like snowflakes all over the sky, but the fragrance that fell on the body was soft, not the slightest bit damp and cold.
Wearing black fox fur, Yan Sui held up the ragged child: "This is the first child returned by Kao!"
The people cheered instantly, rushing into the temple to grab the fallen flowers, Yan Sui retreated to the side to protect his abdomen.
Among the crowd, a little boy didn't grab the flowers, but ran towards Yan Sui and reached out to touch his stomach.
It was only a knuckle away, but someone was the first to hug Yan Sui horizontally——
Yan Sui suddenly felt empty, and then his hands were empty, and the girl was picked up by Pei Liangfang.
Yan Sui came back to his senses in astonishment, turned his head to meet Xu Jiashi's eyes.
"You!" Yan Sui wept with joy, wrapped his arms around Xu Jiashi's neck, life was boiling all around, and he was in Xu Jiashi's arms, Yan Sui almost kissed him, "You're here!"
Xu Jiashi hugged Yan Sui and stepped out of Huawang Temple.
The snow fell one after another, adorning the fox fur with the red and white flowers on Yan Sui's body.
Xu Jiashi lightly brushed the snowflakes that fell on the tip of Yan Sui's nose.
"The minister is here. The road is slippery in the snow, Your Majesty, the minister is here."
"Just after the Kao Festival, the orphans suddenly disappeared. Now the whole city is closed, for fear that something will happen to their own children. Your Majesty is pregnant, so you should be more taboo. Let's go quickly." King Wu chanted in Yan Sui's ear. repeat.
Yan Sui summoned the officials in the middle of the night and issued strict orders to find the missing children as soon as possible.
After working hard for several days and staying up all night, Yan Sui's complexion was not very good, and he said to King Wu: "I don't believe it's evil spirits."
King Wu shook his head: "This is indeed too bizarre, I'm afraid it cannot be done by manpower."
"If gods and ghosts are real, the Kao Festival has just passed, and the gods are not far away, so they will not be unlucky; if the gods are useless, evil spirits are nothing to fear. I have reported Kao Festival every year before, and there have never been any accidents, but I am here In Wuzhou, something happened when we set up a government school for orphans, and I'm afraid the people behind it are targeting me."
King Wu was very pleased that the young emperor was able to reveal his true nature through the evil veil, and broke out in a cold sweat at the same time: "That's why His Majesty must leave as soon as possible! With the ability to kidnap the entire city's orphans in half a day, there must be a huge organization behind it."
"The entire country of Chen belongs to me, and the people are all my people. Since the villains dare to make trouble under my nose, they can't solve the problem by escaping and retreating. It's better to let the enemy be caught off guard than to keep the enemy in the dark. Take the initiative to attack." Yan Sui pressed his belly, "Uncle Huang, I won't leave until all the children are retrieved—how is that person teaching?"
King Wu knew that Yan Sui himself knew that he might not be able to conceive at full term, so he said with a heavy face that it was almost done, so Yan Sui nodded and went to rest.
The King of Wu was worried and asked Pei Liangfang if the emperor could give birth at full term.Pei Liangfang said that the situation is not optimistic. It is very difficult to conceive twins to full term, not to mention that His Majesty is tired from the journey and has been thinking too much these days.
"That is to say, it may be next month... seven lives and eight deaths... why is this child so stubborn!" King Wu looked at the moon and sighed, "No, at least let him accompany the delivery by His Majesty's side."
The letter was sent to the capital urgently.
Ever since Yan Sui left Beijing, Yan Zhi lived in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and went to the palace with Xu Jiashi and returned to the mansion every day.
Yan Zhi received the letter, looked solemn after reading it, and was about to burn it on the lamp when Xu Jiashi appeared behind him and easily grabbed the letter paper.
"Uncle Emperor—"
Yan Zhi hurriedly stood up: "Listen to my explanation!"
Xu Jiashi read the contents of the letter, held a corner of the letter paper with two fingers and put it on a candle, burning the black and white letters into ashes.
"The Emperor—"
Xu Jiashi interrupted him: "Let King Wu come to Beijing, and I will go to Wuzhou."
Yan Zhi pursed her lips and shook her head: "You set off immediately! I can be alone in the capital. Uncle Huang may give birth prematurely at any time, and he needs you more there."
Xu Jiashi looked at Yan Zhi silently.
Yan Zhi was a little anxious: "Don't worry, I can really take care of myself! Tengxiang four guards protect me, I will live directly in the palace from now on, there is no safer place! And, you know, I don't like Other ten-year-olds are so ignorant, I am fully capable of protecting myself! Uncle Huang, hurry to Wuzhou! When younger siblings are born, you must be by Uncle Huang's side!"
These words are indeed beyond the reach of an ordinary ten-year-old child. Living in the imperial city is not only about being protected by the imperial city and enjoying the supreme honor, but also controlling the world and overlooking all living beings.And Yanzhi is not incapable of being alone.
With mixed feelings in Xu Jiashi's heart, he breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and rubbed Yan Zhi's head: "I know. But no matter how talented you are, you are just a child in the eyes of the elders. The people I send to follow His Majesty will do it every day. Reply, of course I know that His Majesty may give birth at any time, and I can't wait to fly to His Majesty to accompany him and the child immediately. But Your Majesty is pregnant with my child, and you are His Majesty's beloved nephew, and you are also my nephew. I cannot let Your Majesty have an accident , nor put you in danger."
Yan Zhi was stunned: "Child... I thought that after you finished talking, you would no longer treat me like a child..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Jiashi smiled, "Only those who are slanderous and stupid are considered children? Early intelligence is easy to hurt, and you need to be more caring. If you don't take good care of you, your uncle probably really wants to divorce me."
Yan Zhi couldn't hold back her tears, hugged Xu Jiashi and began to cry loudly: "Wuuuu, Uncle Huang...how about I stop being nephews and recognize you as fathers!"
"Yes." Xu Jiashi patted Yan Zhi on the back, "Although you are only ten years younger than His Majesty, you will be the eldest son after adopting His Majesty's name, and Your Majesty will not have to worry about the names of the two children. You should be the heir to the throne—”
Yan Zhi suppressed the tears in an instant, and jumped away with a "呔": "Almost fooled! I'm not a son! Let's be a nephew... Uncle Huang, sensationalism belongs to sensationalism. I also know that you are good to me, but you should hurry to Wu Zhouzhou... Isn't Grandpa King Zhou's birthday coming soon? He may be in Wuzhou."
"In Wuzhou?" Xu Jiashi squinted his eyes and thought quickly, "You communicated with King Wu, and my father is also an insider. What happened back then..."
Yan Zhi evaded his eyes: "Anyway, Uncle Huang, you should go quickly. You can go to Wuzhou to exchange for Grandpa Wu Wang. You should be at ease with him by my side, right? Keep it secret from the outside world, and no one will know that you are not in the capital." He's not in Wuzhou, so I won't be in any danger, really. It's true that Uncle Huang asked you to take care of me, but if it's because of me, Uncle Huang made any mistake, I won't forgive myself. Uncle Huang, please, Go and accompany Uncle Huang."
Xu Jiashi was pulled by Yan Zhi's sleeves to wipe away his tears and snot. He silently looked up at the night outside the window, and then withdrew his soaked sleeves after a long time: "It's getting late, let's have a rest."

Wuzhou.

"This is so unreasonable." Yan Sui pushed away the tender and sweet fish porridge, "There are so many children, big and small, if they are separated and detained, there will always be omissions to check. If they are centralized, they will cry What a big movement. How come there is no news at all?"

A little envious or even jealous, Xu Jiashi didn't even build a snowman and have a snowball fight with him.
There was a strong fetal movement, and Yan Sui high-fived her belly and little hands through her clothes.
Good boy, do you miss Daddy very much too?Accompany your father to overcome blood discrimination with your performance, you are his pride, and your father should also work hard to be his father and mother, as well as the pride of your brother.

The emperor was born to suppress his mother, with his own evil spirit. He would not live to be an adult, but absorbed the life of a child to grow to an adult.Now the east tour is also because it has sucked up the lives of the children in the capital, so it is the idea of the states.Those missing orphans were all sucked dry by the emperor into skeletons, and buried in Wu Wangfu, and it was useless to grow flowers.

Yan Sui pondered and deliberated, and finally came up with a solution. He wanted to discuss with King Wu before taking action, but King Wu still closed the door.Yan Sui had no choice but to act alone——
Announce to the whole city that on October [-], the emperor will pay homage to the Huawang Temple to bring blessings to the people, and everyone can follow.
The reason why Yan Sui made up his mind to go to the Huawang Temple in person was because although he did not believe that the evil spirits were responsible for this incident, using gods to defeat the evil spirits was the most acceptable way for the common people, and it was also the fastest way to change public opinion.
Yan Sui's stomach is already very big for nearly eight months, but his limbs are still slender, and his winter clothes are heavy, and he wears a fox fur, which is thick from top to bottom, so that he can't even see his waist, except The movement is slow, and others can't see anything.
From King Wu's Mansion to Huawang Temple, more than two miles away, Yansui walks.
At first, no one was watching the excitement, but after all, everyone knew about it, doubts overwhelmed curiosity, and more and more people followed Yan Sui far away——
At first, there were some idle men without children, then there were more old people with sticks, and then there were young and middle-aged people. When they came to Kao Temple, there were even women who brought their children to see——
It is uncertain whether the rumors are true or not, but it is true that you can see the emperor, and you will never have the opportunity to be so close in this life.Even if the emperor can suck the child's energy, he can't suck it under the eyes of the dude!
Yan Sui must be careful during pregnancy, he has never walked so much like today, and he was sweating a lot when he arrived at Huawang Temple. Said: "Your Majesty, take a slice of ginseng to lift your Qi."
Yan Sui nodded, and stuffed a piece of ginseng that had been prepared in his sleeve under his tongue, then raised his eyes to see the Kao Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple: the kind Huagong and Huapo were sitting on top of them wearing flower wreaths and floral dresses, holding each other in their arms. with a fat doll.
Yan Sui knelt on the futon, praying silently in her heart——
If the gods have spirits, they will bless their children, and they will already be running around for the people while they are still in the womb.As a father, I really owe them a debt.
After begging himself, Yan Sui bowed his head to the statue, and when he raised his head again, he said loudly: "I am Yan Sui, the fifth emperor of the Yan family of Chen Guo, and I personally visit the Huawang Temple. I would like to ask the gods about the disappearance of Wuzhou children. Please let Hua Gong and Hua Po tell me. "Then he straightened his back and knelt with his eyes closed in silence, as if communicating with the gods.
Yan Sui knelt down in the temple, guards guarded the door, and the common people stood shoulder to shoulder to watch, and those in the front row could only see Yan Sui's back in fox fur.Those in the back can only see the back of the head of the person in front, not even Yan Sui's back, but they can hear Yan Sui's voice, which is not majestic and generous but clear as a phoenix's voice, which inexplicably has a calming and convincing power.
A woman holding a child said in a low voice, "It is said that the emperor is the son of God, can he really talk to gods? It sounds like that! Oh, my boy, don't cry..."
An old lady behind him recited "Amitabha": "You still dare to take the child out at this time, the child cries like this and loses his soul, young people nowadays are too careless to be parents..."
The child was crying intermittently, and the woman hesitated a little. She was about to step back when she suddenly found the old lady pushing herself forward a few rows: "Hey! Let me go home, you fell forward! You are not ashamed!" said Holding the child high and pushing forward, for fear that the child would not see the emperor—it was like this once in a lifetime, "My dear boy, you have to learn to be successful, see, learn from the emperor!"
Yan Sui was silent for a moment, then got up and turned to the people outside the temple, and said loudly: "Just now when I talked to the gods, Hua Gong and Hua Po praised Wu Zhou for his devout worship, and they all saw the sincerity of the people. Kao took pity on the helpless orphans, so he took them by his side and brought them up, which is a gift to Wuzhou good believers. Gods are unpredictable, and mortals panic at every turn. However, good and evil are rewarded, and the law of heaven is clear. Don't worry, everyone, I have just been with you Kao communicated and agreed that the orphans will be taken care of by the imperial court to provide them with food and clothing, hire officials and teachers to enlighten them, register their household registration uniformly, and treat them as good citizens.
As soon as the words fell, the people who had been whispering to each other quieted down, and after a while, someone suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"
As if awakened, the people came back to their senses one after another, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Men and women, old and young, cheered like a wave.
Although in the past, no amount of orphans could eat their own rice, but it is not good for a large number of uneducated children to wander around—or freeze to death and starve to death on the side of the road. An burial; even if the world grows up eating a hundred meals from well-intentioned people, they have no education and no means of making a living, so they become thieves and thieves, and they are caught and sent to the government. It's another disaster to be released after two days.
Call them pitiful, but who is not pitiful in this world?We can't take them home to raise them, no matter how big the family business is, it will be ruined.
But the situation is different with the imperial court in charge.There are a hundred children, a hundred mouths, and the cost of rations is just a drop in the bucket for the court.
If the orphans are properly disciplined, the law and order in Wuzhou can be improved to a higher level.
Yan Sui raised his hand to cover his abdomen with fox fur, and at the same time silenced the people.
"I made an agreement with the gods to release the children. But in the end, Hua Gong Hua Po is the god who protects children, loves children the most, and refuses to release them all at once, but Hua Gong Hua Po also agreed to send back a child every day. , and at the same time give Wuzhou people an extra pair of children every day."
As soon as Yan Sui finished speaking, there was the sound of a child crying under the altar table.
Yan Sui lifted the hanging tablecloth and carried out a three or four year old girl from under the table.
Almost at the same time, there were red and white flowers falling in the temple, like snowflakes all over the sky, but the fragrance that fell on the body was soft, not the slightest bit damp and cold.
Wearing black fox fur, Yan Sui held up the ragged child: "This is the first child returned by Kao!"
The people cheered instantly, rushing into the temple to grab the fallen flowers, Yan Sui retreated to the side to protect his abdomen.
Among the crowd, a little boy didn't grab the flowers, but ran towards Yan Sui and reached out to touch his stomach.
It was only a knuckle away, but someone was the first to hug Yan Sui horizontally——
Yan Sui suddenly felt empty, and then his hands were empty, and the girl was picked up by Pei Liangfang.
Yan Sui came back to his senses in astonishment, turned his head to meet Xu Jiashi's eyes.
"You!" Yan Sui wept with joy, wrapped his arms around Xu Jiashi's neck, life was boiling all around, and he was in Xu Jiashi's arms, Yan Sui almost kissed him, "You're here!"
Xu Jiashi hugged Yan Sui and stepped out of Huawang Temple.
The snow fell one after another, adorning the fox fur with the red and white flowers on Yan Sui's body.
Xu Jiashi lightly brushed the snowflakes that fell on the tip of Yan Sui's nose.
"The minister is here. The road is slippery in the snow, Your Majesty, the minister is here."
