[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

As soon as the two brothers and sisters left, they left the crowd outside the Goddess Temple waiting for the Goddess to come out. First, the Northern Ceremony Officer shouted respectfully: "I respectfully invite the Goddess." With a sound, everyone stretched their necks and waited for the Goddess to come out Temple, I managed to occupy the front row position, and I think that if I get closer to the goddess, I can get more blessings, the unanimous voice of the people in the front row.

There was no movement for a long while, and then another voice: "Respectfully invite the goddess!" Another long while, still no movement, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, is the goddess going to see them?

Waiting left and right, waiting for nothing to be seen, the ceremonial officer got a signal from the little feudal prince, and went into the temple to find out.On the seat under the statue of the Goddess, the Goddess' clothes were neatly placed, and the golden mask was also placed on the clothes, but there was no one in sight.

The officer of ceremonies hastily reported the situation to the little feudal prince in a low voice. There was no way he could leave the little feudal prince without saying goodbye. After all, he had completed his mission and there was no reason to force him to stay.I had to come forward to appease the people: "The Goddess will pray for Beifan in the Goddess Temple for three days, and the Goddess Temple will be opened after the three days, and people can visit freely."

Anyway, at least I left the goddess clothes, and I prayed as a goddess after offering the clothes. Although the drought has been relieved, the hearts of the people still need to be appeased.Sometimes white lies are necessary.

At this moment, the little feudal prince dare not say that the goddess has left. With so many people gathered here, if he knows the truth, he doesn't know if there will be any trouble. It's better to disperse the people first.The little feudal lord can't do without cleaning up this mess. As a goddess, she can still lose her temper. If she wants to leave, no one can stop her.

As for those who have been blessed by the Goddess on the head, they feel that they are one in a million. They are worried that the blessing will disappear, and they have not washed their hair for more than half a month.It wasn't until the smell was really bad and the itching was unbearable that I had to wash my hair.It's quite a pity after washing. If I had known something to get the goddess to bless, it would be able to worship for a long time.

Daiyu and Xiaosi galloped a hundred miles away before they dared to slow down and take a rest, "Fourth brother, let's figure it out. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to come back after two days. The enthusiasm of the people is really overwhelming." If it wasn't for the awe of the goddess, I'm afraid they would have surrounded me." Daiyu patted her chest, and finally put her heart back into her stomach.

"Sister, with my brother around, I'm afraid I can't save you from the fire and water? If someone really dares to be rude, my brother's mouth is not a vegetarian." Xiaosi looked embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, fourth brother, you are the most powerful, you have a good tongue." Daiyu secretly rolled her eyes.

"Okay, business is over, we should go sightseeing." Finally able to play freely and happily, Xiao Si was so happy that he seemed to be flying, and he didn't look like a father at all.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor has ordered his ministers to send you back to the capital safely." A disturbing voice came from the side.

"Chen Wuwei, my princess has been weak since she was a child, and she can't stand long distances. This time, the journey back to Beijing is far away. You have to walk slowly on the road, and you have to walk for a day and stop for two days to avoid the pain of traveling. If you hurry back to the capital, father The emperor sees that the princess is sick, and Chen Wuwei, who is not tired, will be implicated, so the princess will not bear it." Daiyu immediately changed her delicate expression, and did not forget to cough twice to show that her health is really not good .

"His Royal Highness, this..." Chen Wuwei got stuck right away, but Princess, are you really doing this well? I didn't see you showing fatigue when I came here day and night, and who was the one who was galloping just now?Chen Wuwei wanted to think about it, but when it came to exhausting the princess because of the rush, he really couldn't bear the crime.

"Follow the princess's words." Chen Wuwei didn't say much in the end, after all, the emperor just said that the princess would be sent back to the capital intact, and there was indeed no limit on the time of returning to the capital.Besides, they had witnessed Her Royal Highness' supernatural powers with their own eyes, and all of them were in awe at the moment, so naturally they did not dare to disobey Daiyu's words.

"Chen Wuwei and all the officers and men escorted this princess hard all the way. After returning to Beijing, this princess will definitely ask for your reward in front of the emperor." Daiyu sent out a sweet date to save everyone from feeling unhappy.

"Thank you, Her Royal Highness."

"Okay, okay, first send someone to the front to see if there is any place to stay, and inquire about good places to eat and play in advance." Someone took the lead and went first.

Daiyu and Xiaosi rode forward slowly, "Sister, you are awesome!" Xiaosi secretly gave a thumbs up.

"Small meaning, small meaning." Daiyu smiled back quietly.The biggest one here is Daiyu. Although Xiaosi is the emperor's personal entourage to protect the princess, he actually doesn't have much command over this group of soldiers.Therefore, it is still necessary to rely on Daiyu's identity to overwhelm Chen Wuwei.As long as the leader is obedient, the subordinates will naturally obey the orders of the superior.

I stopped and stopped along the way, but went through all the sights, things to eat, things to play, and things to buy along the way.When they first left Beifan, each person had only one horse, and before half the journey, the boxes had already piled up with more than ten carriages.Fortunately, there were so many people in the group, otherwise they would definitely be the targets of bandits.

Everything that happened in Beifan was relayed to Jiang Yingrong by 738, without missing a single detail.At first, I thought that some things still needed 738's secret help, but before it could do it, someone behind the scenes helped to solve it, and it was solved perfectly.

"Xiao Rong'er, who do you think is helping behind the scene?" 738 was quite puzzled, and from these things, it seemed that the person behind the scene was quite magical.But since the supernatural powers are in hand, why didn't the original book help, and let sister Lin end up like that.

"Since there are little immortals like Jing Huan, and wild cultivators like the lame Taoist and the monk with a scarlet head, I am afraid that there are higher-level existences in this world, but they are not humane. Now it seems that the people behind this scene are the most At least they are helping, not enemies like phantoms. Since the purpose is the same as ours, there is no need to investigate who it is."

Someone helped Jiang Yingrong, and she was happy and relaxed. When the boss, second child, and fourth child were forced to have attributes, Jiang Yingrong was not sure whether it was an enemy or a friend, so naturally she hated the people behind the scenes.After all, if these things are not good, they will be used by those who want to. It took her a lot of effort to suppress the matter.At this moment, it was confirmed that it was a friendly army, and Jiang Yingrong guessed that there was a group of people behind this scene, so she felt relieved.

"As for why you didn't make a move in the original book, I guess there is some kind of restriction, but I don't know why you can break the restriction and make a move now." Jiang Yingrong, the helper, started to be puzzled, but she also made a good guess.

"That's right. Anyway, we have fun to watch, and we don't need to make a move. It's good." 738 can't wait to eat Guazi Coke and watch the fun.

And what happened after Daiyu arrived in Beifan was also reported to the imperial court by the king of Xiaofan.The above describes in detail the various things that happened after the goddess entered Beifan: the grand event on the day of praying for rain, a series of things that happened in the temple of the goddess, emphasizing the mysterious smile that appeared on the goddess statue.Then there is a large page thanking the emperor for saving the people from fire and water, how the goddess has magical powers, and words of loyalty. He wrote dozens of pages eloquently, and the emperor spent nearly an hour reading it from beginning to end.

What happened on the day of praying for rain had been reported to the emperor by the ritual officer who went back first, and the result was a surprise.After all, the emperor initially thought that it would be good to temporarily appease the residents, but he didn't realize that not only that, but also solved the problem of drought in Beifan.The key is to gain the faith of tens of thousands of people, which is a good thing for the unification of the world.

Now he read the vassal king's report again, and learned that such a miraculous thing happened later, the emperor began to think again in his heart.This "seven stars accompany the moon" really is the key to the "moon".

Since ancient times, religious beliefs have become a ruling tool admired and used by the emperor.Excluding those superstitious emperors who want to seek immortality, there are many wise emperors who rule the people more effectively through religious means. When more and more people recognize the same belief, and this belief happens to be respected by those in power, It is conceivable that the purpose of controlling the hearts of the people was indirectly achieved.

Nowadays, people don't believe in Buddhism or faith, so the two mainstream religions in Daqi are only developing normally, and there is no momentum of great prosperity.The emperor now felt that it was time for him to start a religious model. For example, the Goddess Temple, which was deeply loved by the people of Beifan, could be moved to Daqi territory in the same way.

So the emperor ordered people to publicize the miracles of Beifan to the world, and people arranged them into dramas and stories, which were widely publicized by theater troupes and storytellers.

There were no entertainment activities in ancient times, and the only entertainment for ordinary people was listening to operas and books. For the former, they had to pay for it either at home or in the theater.As long as the latter storyteller has a table and a small wooden board, he can speak in the streets and alleys in the open air, and many people can listen to it for free.If you are happy to listen, you can tip yourself with a penny or a penny, no matter how much it is, it all depends on your heart, unlike going to the theater and paying for tickets.

Storytelling and rehearsal must have a good story. Only when the story is good can it attract more people, have opportunities or make more money.As soon as you hear stories about the Goddess praying for rain and other magical stories, it is like a treasure, and you can add bricks and tiles by yourself, wishing that the more fantastic the better, so as to attract viewers.

If anyone does not believe it, the evidence is as follows: first, the emperor personally issued a decree to confirm the authenticity of the goddess praying for rain; The Goddess's gift, the Goddess Temple has been built. It is said that there is an endless stream of people visiting the temple every day, and the incense is burning all day long.

Since the Beifan belonged to Daqi, many businessmen went to the Beifan for trade, and naturally there were many witnesses.This time, Da Qi Nei, I heard that everyone is talking about the Goddess. As a person with first-hand information, it is natural to show off to others.Some even exaggerate that they have received the blessings of the goddess and have been to the temple of the goddess.It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, once the speaker is done bragging, he will feel good about himself, and the listener will feel comfortable listening, and it will be over if everyone is happy.

The emperor personally ordered to build a Goddess Temple on Qinggeng Peak outside the capital, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to personally supervise the construction.Qinggeng Peak was originally a small mountain with few people, so it has a wide terrain. Just build a temple, and you can build it bigger.Another piece of jade that was big enough to be carved into an adult was selected, and a skilled craftsman was found to rush to work overnight.

Of course, this jade is not a particularly precious material, and the emperor has requested that it should not be spent too much.But in order to please the emperor, several heads of the Ministry of Industry discussed together for a long time, and finally decided to find a piece of ordinary jade as the base material.In this way, it will not cost too much, and the carved jade statues can be more vivid and smooth than ordinary stone statues, and the emperor is also happy to see it.

The person in charge of the construction also heard that Beifan used a golden body. He proudly said that being the first kingdom would not be so vulgar. If you want to use it, we will use a jade body. It is elegant and noble, and it does not cost money. His Majesty must be satisfied.
