V4.Chapter 11

Shen zangji and Shen Shuming leave the capital of the emperor in front of them, and something happens in the capital of the latter.

It's not a small thing - there's water in the palace.

Although the place where the emperor and empress walked was not the main hall, it was the fengci water hall where the emperor lived in these two summers. Fengci water hall was built by Emperor Xiaozong of the Wei Dynasty. Emperor Xiaozong was posthumous and filial. His mother died early and was raised by his mother, empress Xian'an, who served her as if she were a parent-child. After the accession to the throne, she still served the queen mother Xian'an in person from time to time.

Every summer, the royal family moved to the mountain palace outside the city to avoid the summer. However, the Empress Dowager Xian'an was not suitable to travel after her high age and was afraid of the summer. Xiaozong summoned skilled craftsmen to build this water hall in the palace for the Empress Dowager Xian'an to live in summer, which is known as "worshiping kindness".

Fengci water hall is built on the widest Lake in Shanglin garden. The cornice and the Guangdian Huating have the same scale as the ordinary palaces. They are more exquisite and better than other palaces, accounting for half of the lake. There are mezzanine floors on the upper and lower walls of the hall. In summer, ice is put in, and a water truck is set at the door of the hall to blow the wind. So even in the dog days, the hall is still cool and cold, like autumn and winter.

After emperor Xiaozong, people in the royal family sometimes are inconvenient or unwilling to go to the palace in summer, and they will basically live here.

In the past two years, shengshang has grown old. He doesn't like moving. After entering summer, he lives here with his beloved Princess.

In the early summer, miaojieu and Zhong Xiaoyi competed for favor. They ordered the palace people to take a boat and dance on the lake in front of the fengci water hall. The lotus flowers on the people's faces reflected each other, which made the saint like the beautiful scenery. So the Lingbo dance music hasn't stopped this summer. Now it's autumn, the holy one still doesn't want to leave the fengci water hall. He only asks people to remove the ice in the mezzanine and the windmill, and still lives here.

…… Of course, shengshang doesn't want to go back to xuanming palace. I'm afraid it's because he looks down at xuanming Palace at night. It's not hard to see the busy lights in six Yamens all night, reminding the old shengshang how dangerous his world is.

In a word, Emperor Jia lived in the water. Although the water hall was built on the lake, it was easy to get water on the spot to put out the fire, but the palace people were burned and Emperor Jia was frightened.

Not only was he frightened, but he also suspected that this was a plot against him.

This sudden change made the scholars a little unprepared. Fortunately, there were several trusted palace maids in the holy kingdom. These palace maids found out that the reason for going out of water had nothing to do with treason. It was totally an accident: a palace maiden in the water palace dozed off while guarding the fire candle at night, and the partial Lake wind blew some sparks to the tent. When the torch tent and other things were burning up, Although the palace people woke up, they were afraid of disturbing the holy master in the middle of the night because the place was close to the Shengjia sleeping hall. The holy master was in a bad mood all the time. There were not a few people who were killed or exiled because of a little incident in the near attendants. The fear of the palace people was also reasonable.

But he underestimated the fire. Instead of killing the fire for a long time, he accidentally choked into too many fireworks and suffocated himself. Then the fire spread throughout the hall Know that fengci water hall was built of pure wood.

So the fire burned nearly two-thirds of the whole fengci water hall, and the whole city was shocked by the fire. Because of the current situation, rumors spread all over the city before long. If Gu Xiaode, the commander of the forbidden army, was not decisive, he would send his inner forbidden army into the palace to help fight the fire. At the same time, he would hold a tiger amulet to block the whole city. He would order people to go up to the Imperial Palace and down to the humble land of Li Shu. They would not step out of the house for half a step. Those who disobeyed him would cut off and barely stop the scene. Maybe the capital would be in a mess because of this.

Although it is said that there is a false alarm in and out of the palace, after this event, the Holy Scripture unexpectedly wants to open!

On the day after the Palace officials found out that the water was an accident, the emperor summoned the princes who presided over the government affairs to attend the pilgrimage.

Of course, I'm a little scared about this call to all the families - they're not ready yet, but they're ready But to everyone's surprise, the Emperor didn't mention the things that bothered them, such as the civil commotion, Yanzhou, the Crusade and the defeat of the army. Instead, he comforted them for a while with a pleasant face. He looked back on his life, his ambition and ambition when he was just a young man when he first came to the throne, and felt that he was helpless now with his grey sideburns and his heart full of spare power

The Holy One said with tears: "when I ascended the throne, you are still in your prime. Remember that at that time, when the emperor and the minister were united, they all had the ambition to revitalize my great Wei Dynasty! Now several decades have passed in a hurry. I and Zhu Aiqing are old, but my great Wei Dynasty is still tired. Now these two years are full of wars and devastation! In recent years, Zhu Aiqing's hard work for the government and me is also seen in the eyes. It is said that the great Wei dynasty fell to the present level, and its sin is not in Zhu Aiqing! "

On this point, the confused ministers all thought they could hear the clue. Just as the ministers all lamented the ancestors of the Wei Dynasty, they showed their spirit. They let the holy conscience find out that if they planned to meditate in the prince, they should also soften the fierce anger of the whole world. Several loyal old ministers, such as Wei Yu, have been moved With tears in his eyes, he bowed to the ground and pleaded guilty, saying that he was incompetent and could not share his worries for the emperor!

Holy way: " Of course, I am not guilty! "

“……………………！！！”Ready to comfort the old emperor, meaning to forgive the old emperor's sins, the ministers looked at each other

Then, the holy way: "sin in the Wei Dynasty these do not think of Junen Diao people!"

All the ministers spit out blood!

In fact, after the civil revolution, the literati were not the ones who didn't take a long case to scold the hateful people

Even before the rebellious people attacked the fields of the gentry 's residence, there were many gentry who thought that the civil war was all because of the big heart of Li Shu or the insufficient adjustment or the incitement of some people. In a word, it had nothing to do with the exploitation of the gentry and the Royal family.

But now those who are called to the golden palace are the mainstays of the Wei Dynasty. Even if they are not all born in the gentry, how can they not be so confused that they really don't know the origin of the tragedy of the world!

The literati always scolded the leaders of the civil revolt for their ulterior motives and encouraged the ignorant people to die, although to some extent, they were also true. But if it wasn't for the emperor's lazy officials to exploit corrupt officials all over the country and the continuous foreign invasion, even if a small number of people would be incited, how could most people pay attention to it? Common people, how many people are willing to put their clothes and food on the table, but they have nothing to do to go to revolt?

In a word, the words of the immortal outside the holy day made people choke for a long time, but they didn't come back to God. If the holy man said that at the beginning, they could still think that the holy man was going to be cruel to the people everywhere. But first of all, the Holy One poured out memories The prodigal son's turning back began to match with the ending of a faint monarch. For example, Wei Yu, some old ministers who were moved to tears just now, haven't dried their tears. All of a sudden, I don't know how to take them?

There was a moment of silence in the palace, which made the ministers spit out more blood. "This time, the fengci water hall was burned up, and my heart was hurt."

What did the saint suddenly mention? Didn't it be found out that it was the palace people's carelessness? Is it because of this that the Holy One angered the people everywhere? You see, I see you, all of you agree that the sage is too confused now. Before you find out what he wants to say, it's better not to speak rashly - but I hope it's not the most terrible sentence

But it must be!

Shengshang said: "this hall is left by Emperor Xiaozong. Since emperor Xiaozong in the Wei Dynasty, all the emperors have lived in this place and thought about the pure filial piety of their ancestors. Can such a place be burned down? It must be rebuilt. "

Shen Xuan was so aware of the decline of the Wei Dynasty that he planned to withdraw from it. Wei Yu, who was really loyal to the Wei Dynasty, almost died on the spot! Just now, he was moved by the memory of the Holy One, so he knelt down and cried and pleaded guilty. Until now, he didn't get up. He just continued to kowtow his head. Then the old tears ran through his eyes: "Holy One, no! Now the National Treasury is empty, let alone the world's civil commotion everywhere. If the temple of fengci water was rebuilt at this moment, it would be used by the people who provoked the civil commotion, compared with the Lu Tai built by the Shang and Zhou dynasties regardless of the people's livelihood! Now the people's hearts are floating. If you do this, I'm afraid the people will lose their hearts and the country will shake! "

The Treasury of the Wei Dynasty is now empty, but in fact, it is not to the point that it cannot afford to build a fengci water hall. The problem is that there are so many places to spend money in Wei Dynasty! And as Wei Yu said - at this time to repair the fengci water hall, the biggest concern is not whether it can be repaired, but can not repair!

In the situation that the people don't have to live with internal and external troubles, the emperor is still drunk in the harem, which has made the common people, including the scholars, very resentful. At this time, let alone repair a burned two-thirds palace. Even if it's a small repair palace somewhere, it will be made up by those rebellious people, and they will make every effort to go to Shang Zhou's side to attach

Is to Wei Yu this kind also want to help Wei Shi's ministers can not be anxious?

Just now I thought that the holy master had changed his nature. Zi was wiser. Now I know that he wanted to have a better life. The holy master clearly thought that Wei's office was not defeated fast enough!

However, the Holy Spirit is determined. Wei Yu, who needs white hair, kowtows his head to the sound of the mountain under the Dancong, but only causes his wrath: "in this dynasty, the people in the Imperial Palace accidentally burned the water hall left by their ancestors to support the Empress Dowager. I am ashamed of my ancestors! How does situ want me to be the unfilial king? "

Wei Yu tearfully said: "benevolence, filial piety, benevolence before filial piety, now the people are miserable, just easy to be incited by the people who intend to do something wrong, and form the civil change everywhere. Now it is time to exercise benevolence and pacify the people. When the world is settled, even if the holy one doesn't say anything, I think there will be courtiers who will sympathize with me. Please take the initiative to show up and build the mercy water hall! "

"How dare you beg for my kindness, little people?! Is it impossible for me to bow to a group of untouchables?! If so, where is the son of heaven? How can I save my royal face! " Saint because he has been addicted to wine and lust for a long time, his dim and dim eyes suddenly become sober and clear. He looks at his Highness's old courtiers fiercely. What he says is what makes Wei Yu cold to his heart. "Wei Yu, you are old and confused! I think you have been in charge of state affairs over the years. I don't care about you this time. Go away! "

When Wei Yu heard this, his heart was cold, but he was in a great hurry. He was still waiting for entreaties, but he felt that the wind was blowing beside him. Liu Sihuai and Shen Xuan, too, made intercession for him at the same time. Fortunately, shengshang seemed to be disturbed by the water last night. At the moment, his spirit was not so good. He scolded Wei Yu and told Liu Sihuai and Shen Xuan to drive back to the harem.
