Chapter 287
Xunzi once said: "What is it that rains when there is a fish?"
It rained after holding a sacrifice to pray for rain. Why?
Answer: There is no reason, just as if there is no sacrifice to pray for rain, it will still rain when it should rain...
Drought is a natural phenomenon. Those elites who were well-educated in ancient times understood this truth. The so-called praying for rain is just a kind of psychological sustenance, and it also has elements to appease the common people. At least it is not as pious as it appears...
It was already three o'clock, but the house of Zheng Boling, Minister of Taichang Temple, was still brightly lit.
Zheng Boling stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, feeling the coolness and comfort of the breeze blowing in from the window, looking up at the black night sky, his heart seemed to be clenched tightly by an invisible fist, and he was a little breathless.
The black cloud overwhelms the city and wants to destroy it!
Didn't the Taishi Bureau say that it will never rain in the near future?
But the dark clouds all over the sky covered the stars and the moon, and the low pressure seemed to cover the earth. Isn't it a sign of rain?
If it rains...
Zheng Boling couldn't imagine it!
It's okay to admit defeat to Fang Jun, so what if he kowtows?Not only did he, Zheng Boling, put his life and death aside, he didn't even intend to keep his own name for the rest of his life.He doesn't care about personal honor and disgrace at all. Compared with the family's thousand-year inheritance, it is simply insignificant.
But once it rains, it proves that His Majesty Li Er is indeed the destiny, even if you don't punish yourself, the sky will rain down on you!Those who forced His Majesty to issue an edict of guilt have become rebellious officials and thieves who threatened the emperor with ulterior motives!
The reputation of the family for thousands of years will be destroyed in one day, which is more uncomfortable than taking Zheng Boling's life...
If His Majesty Li Er took advantage of the situation and wielded the butcher knife, who else would stand by the Zheng family of Laiyang among those powerful families who were in harmony with each other at that time?
The living room behind him was full of representatives of aristocratic families, old and young, all with gloomy and worried faces.
There are more than a dozen people gathered in the hall of Nuo Da, but there is no sound, and the rustling sound of the wind outside the house passing by the trees and flowers in the garden can be clearly heard. Whip after whip on their hearts.
What if it rains?
Just as His Majesty Li Er couldn't make up his mind to kill, these aristocratic families didn't dare to bet on the limit of His Majesty Li Er's kindness!
The writer Lang Cui Xun had a tense black face, and said hesitantly: "You said... Could it be that the Taishi Bureau deliberately gave us fake news?"
The Cui Clan of Puzhou is a branch of the Cui Clan of Boling. It is impossible for the Cui Clan of Boling to take the initiative to resist His Majesty Li Er's actions like this. Their goals are too big and the risks are too great. No, that is related to the extermination of the clan, who dares to bear it?Therefore, the Cui family in Puzhou became the best representative.
When Cui Xun asked, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more dignified.
Everyone knows that if his guess is true, it means that all the plans and steps on his side may have fallen into the control of His Majesty Li Er.
That's just horrific...
Zheng Boling turned around and said decisively: "Absolutely not! This time the news came from the Taishi Bureau, it was a son of the Zheng family in Xingyang. He saw with his own eyes that Li Chunfeng led a group of officials to calculate the situation, and he came to the conclusion It seems that there will be clouds gathering and winds rising in the near future, but it will not rain! Li Chunfeng's ability must be known to everyone, and there will be no accidents!"
Another old man from the Wei family looked at the dark night outside the window, and said worriedly: "But the dark clouds all over the sky...it really looks like it's going to rain!"
Everyone also echoed their words. Although they were noisy, there was still a depressive atmosphere.
The wind and cloud gathering in this world almost made everyone completely desperate!
Zheng Boling walked back, took the first seat, took a sip from the teacup, looked around the crowd, and sighed softly: "So what if it's raining? The arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired! As long as your majesty doesn't sin against yourself, everyone The family will initiate public opinion in the various state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, weakening His Majesty's prestige to the greatest extent, and let His Majesty realize how powerful the power of our aristocratic families is! On the contrary, once His Majesty desperately begins to weaken the inherent privileges of our aristocratic families , the consequences are absolutely unacceptable to us.”
Everyone was silent.
The reason why you put your head on your trouser belt and confront His Majesty Li Er, isn't it because everyone has noticed that His Majesty Li Er wants to support the poor family in order to weaken the influence of the aristocratic family?
The monopoly of education, the privilege of recommending officials, the influence of the countryside, the huge land...
Once the poor are supported, their inherent interests will be ruthlessly suppressed or even reduced!
Cui Xun said with a sad face: "It's good if the rain doesn't fall, His Majesty may be so cruel as to eradicate all of our aristocratic families and cause chaos in the world, but if it rains, His Majesty's prestige will definitely rise to a higher level, even the old Tiandu is on his side, who dares to resist? At that time, we may have to honestly let him be dealt with. Even if we want to rebel, I am afraid that none of the people will stand by us..."
A rain is not only related to whether the dry land in Guanzhong can be moistened and irrigated, but also related to the rise and fall of many aristocratic families, isn't it ironic?
But reality is what it is!
The wind outside the window was getting stronger and stronger, and the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, but the raindrops that made countless people frightened did not fall for a long time.
Perhaps, as long as the wind blows stronger, the dark clouds all over the sky will dissipate...

Dragon Palace.
His Majesty Li Er had just gone to bed when he was awakened by his servant Wang De.
"Your Majesty," Wang De stood tiptoe at the door of the sleeping hall, calling the emperor softly, but he was afraid of shocking the emperor, so his voice was soft: "Your Majesty?"
This is not a good job, but His Majesty has stated that whenever there is a turmoil, he must report it immediately. Wang De dare not delay His Majesty's important affairs.
His Majesty Li Er was really tired, and impatient to be woken up: "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's windy outside..."
"Oh... huh?!" His Majesty Li Er woke up instantly, sat up suddenly, looked at Wang De with wide eyes, and asked anxiously, "Is there a dark cloud?"
"Have!"
"Hula..." His Majesty Li Er tore off the thin quilt covering his body, jumped off the bed, and walked outside.After walking two steps, I realized that I was still barefoot, so I hurried back to put on my shoes, walked out of the bedroom quickly, and came to the corridor.
The dark clouds in the sky were closed, the Milky Way was hidden, the stars and the moon were invisible, and the cool south wind made His Majesty Li Er's heart tremble.
It is going to rain!
"What time is it now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it's already midnight!"
His Majesty Li Er frowned, the good mood he had just seen after seeing the dark cloud dissipated a bit.
This wind... is a bit strong!
Even if he is not a professional official who observes the weather, His Majesty Li Er knows that the wind is a harbinger of rain, but the wind is too strong, but it is very likely to blow away the gathered dark clouds, and it will clear up before the rain falls...
It's just that whether it's raining or not, the arrow is on the line, and there are some things that need to be activated!
"Tell Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji to enter the palace!"
His Majesty Li Er gave the order, and Wang De immediately bowed and said: "No!" But before he could go out, His Majesty Li Er changed his mind again.
"Clean up, I'm going to Lishan, let the two generals go to Lishan to meet you!"
"No!" Wang De never questioned the emperor's order, he didn't even bother to think about it, anyway, we will do what the emperor says...
After a stick of incense, the inner gate of the Forbidden Palace was opened. His Majesty Li Er did not ride in the imperial chariot, but dressed up in a strong outfit, rode a snow-white horse, and was escorted by the elite "Hundred Riders" into the quiet Long Street, go straight to Chunming Gate.
Marquis Wu, who was looking for the street, was carrying a lantern and a waist knife, and was looking around dutifully, when he saw a group of knights coming on horseback, their bowl-sized horseshoes stepped on the bluestone long street, like a gust of wind and rain .
Marquis Wu was furious, who actually violated the curfew so blatantly?
Just as he was about to say something to reprimand him, he suddenly saw a bunch of yellow dragon flags in the hands of the leading knight. He was startled, and he scrambled to the side of the road, kneeling down and not daring to look up.
But my heart kept beating like a drum: My dear, what is your majesty going out of the palace in the middle of the night?
It was a big event for the emperor to go out of Beijing. The generals guarding the city gate watched His Majesty and his party leave the city gate, drive across the Baqiao, and head straight for Lishan Mountain.Then he came back to his senses, beat the drums and gathered the generals, gathered all the soldiers on duty, and closed the city gate tightly.
When the emperor leaves the capital, the capital will automatically strengthen martial law!
Candles are burning like daylight, swords and guns are out of their sheaths!
