Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zangji and Shen Shuming left the imperial capital on the front foot, and something happened in the imperial capital on the back foot.
It's not a small matter the palace went under water.
Walking water place is not the emperor and queen of the main hall, but the saint of these two years in the summer to live in the Feng Ci water hall. Feng Ci water temple is Wei Xiaozong when built, Xiaozong posthumously filial piety, people are extremely filial. His mother died early, raised by his mother Xian'an empress dowager, serving Xian'an empress dowager as if she were her own son since childhood. After ascending the throne, he still served Empress Xian An personally from time to time.
The imperial family every year in the height of summer will be moved to the mountains outside the city palace to avoid the summer heat, but Xian'an after the age of the Queen is not suitable for travel, but also fear of summer. Emperor Xiaozong called for the gathering of skilled craftsmen, in the palace to build this water hall for the Queen Xian An summer residence, is named "Feng Ci".
Feng Ci water temple was built in the Shanglin Garden in the waters of the most extensive lake, flying eaves and corners, wide Hall Huatian, with the unusual size of the palace is equal to the sophistication of more than, accounted for a small half of the lake to go. This hall up and down the four walls are laminated, the summer will be put in the ice, and in the hall door at the waterwheel drum wind, so even if it is the day of the volcano, the hall is still very cool, Rin as in autumn and winter.
After Emperor Xiaozong, occasionally the royal family or inconvenient or unwilling to go to the palace in the summer to escape the heat, basically will live here.
In the past two years, His Holiness has grown old and does not like to move, and after the summer, he has been living here with his favorite concubines for a long time.
And early summer, Miao Jieyu and Zhong Xiaoyi favorites, ordered the Palace by boat in front of the Feng Ci water temple on the lake group dance Lingbo, the human face of lotus reflecting, a charming scene, so that His Holiness is very much like. So Lingbo dance this year a summer have not stopped, to now in the fall, the saint still do not want to leave Feng Ci water temple, only to call the ice in the mezzanine with the wind of the waterwheel to remove, still live here.
...... Of course the saint did not want to go back to the Xuanming Palace, there is a big reason I am afraid because at night in the Xuanming Palace overlooking out, it is not difficult to see the six ministries Yamen busy lights all night, reminding the old saint, his world, how precarious.
In short, the imperial residence water, although because the water temple is built on the lake, the water on the ground to extinguish the fire is easy, but the palace people burned, the imperial driver is unavoidable to be shocked.
Not only was he shocked, but His Holiness suspected that it was a plot against him.
This sudden change of events so that the scholars are a little bit caught off guard in the end, the emperor still has a few trusted beloved palace people, these palace people to find out the cause of the water has nothing to do with the conspiracy to rebel, it was completely accidental the water temple of a palace people at night to guard the fire candle napping, but the wind of the lake and a few sparks blown to the tent, and other things burned up after the fire the tent And other things are burned up, this palace although woke up, but because of the place close to the holy driving bedchamber, fear of disturbing the saint in the middle of the night to be punished the saint has been in a bad mood for this period of time, the close service because of a little bit of small things were killed or exiled in a few, the fear of this palace is also reasonable.
But he underestimated the fire, fight a long time but failed to extinguish the fire, but instead he accidentally choked into too much smoke and fire, asphyxiation death in the fire. Then the fire spread all over the hall ...... to know Feng Ci water hall is purely built with wood.
So the fire burned nearly two-thirds of the entire Feng Ci water temple, the fire light in the sky alarmed the whole city, due to today's situation, the city did not take long on the rumors flying all over the sky. If not for the forbidden army commander Gu Xiaoder immediate decision, while sending the heart of the forbidden army into the palace to help put out the fire, while holding the tiger seal blockade the whole city, ordered to the royal family to the royal family, down to the populace of the lowly, are not allowed to set foot out of the house door half a step, violators of the decapitation, barely subdued the scene for fear of the imperial capital will be a big mess because of this matter.
Although it is said that both inside and outside the palace is a false alarm, however, the saint after this incident, actually want to open up!
In the palace people to find out that the water is an accident the next day, the emperor called the presiding political affairs of the princes into the audience.
For this summons is of course a little terrified of each family they are not ready, but they began to prepare for the ...... But to the surprise of all, the saint actually did not even mention the civil unrest, Yanshou, crusade, defeat and so on to make their hearts and minds fidgety things, but instead and pleasant to reassure them for a while; and recalled his own life, counting the first ascension to the throne just when the young ambition, lamenting that now the temples are old, the heart is not enough. On the contrary, and pleasant colors to appease them for a while; and review their own life, counting the first ascension to the throne just when the young ambition, lamented now the temples pale, the heart but not enough power helplessness ......
His Majesty on the throne with tears "I ascended the throne, all of you are still in their prime, remember that he was with one mind, all have the will to revitalize my Wei! Now decades rush by, I and all the Secretary have been old, I Wei is still tired, not to mention, now these two years is a beacon, full of devastation! These years the Secretary's hard work for the government I am also in the eyes of the, said the Wei fell to the present situation, the crime is not in the Secretary!"
At this point in the conversation, the group of confused ministers thought they could hear the clues just as the group of ministers are sighing Wei's ancestors can be counted on to show a spirit, so that the saint's conscience, intended to Zen in the Prince, and then should also be issued a sinful imperial edict to soften the world's public anger, a few loyal veterans such as Wei Yu such as A few loyal old ministers like Wei Yu were already moved to tears, kowtowing to the ground and apologizing for their incompetence and inability to share the king's worries.
Here comes the big twist that breaks the atmosphere of harmony between monarchs and ministers and the united effort to clean up the mountains and rivers!
The saint said, "...... The crime is certainly not mine either!"
"........................!!! "
Already ready to comfort the old emperor, meaning for the old emperor's sins of his own open ministers look at each other ......
Then the saint justified himself by saying, "The crime lies with these unruly people of Wei who do not think of the king's grace!"
The group of ministers collectively spat out a mouthful of blood in the dark!
In fact, after the civil unrest in the scholars is not without patting the long case and cursing the dilettantes hateful people ......
Even before the rebels attacked the scholar's residence and fields, there are many clergymen who believe from the bottom of their hearts that the civil unrest is all because the hearts of the populace are too big or insufficiently educated or some people are fanning the flames from it, in short, with the exploitation of the clans and the royal family that is half a relationship does not exist the oddballs, the world's great, out of a few really not surprising.
Can now be called to this golden temple up, that are the mainstay of the Wei dynasty, even if not all from the scholarly family, however, experienced the official field so far, how will not be confused to the really do not know the world tragedy into such a root cause!
The scholar clans have been criticizing the leaders of the mutiny for their malicious intentions and for encouraging the ignorant people to commit suicide, although to a certain extent they are telling the truth. But if it were not for the negligence of the king and the exploitation of the clans and corrupt officials all over the country, coupled with the constant foreign troubles, even if a small part of the people will be incited, the majority of the people will not pay attention to how? How many of the common people are willing to let go of the days of food and clothing, nothing to do to rebel?
In a word, the saint of this heavenly sentence, let the people choked a long time did not come back to God the saint if the beginning of the so said, the people can still think that the saint of this is to be on all parts of the civil change under the hard hand. But the saint first confided in the memories of some ...... the beginning of the return of the prodigal son with a comatose end, such as Wei Yu a few just moved to tears of the old ministers have not wiped away the tears it, this suddenly came to such a moment, simply don't know how to pick up the good?
The temple was silent for a moment, so that the group of ministers more spit blood of a sentence came again "This time Feng Ci water temple a few were burned to the end, my heart is very painful."
Why did His Majesty mention this all of a sudden? Didn't you find out that it was caused by the palace staff's carelessness? Is it because of this that His Majesty is angry about the civil unrest in various places? The ministers looked at each other and agreed that His Majesty was too confused, and that it would be better not to speak up until they knew exactly what he was going to say but hopefully it would not be the most horrible sentence of all.......
But favoritism is!
His holiness said "this hall is the filial piety emperor left, I Wei since the filial piety emperor since the monarchs, all tasted live in this point, memorial ancestors pure filial piety. Such a place burned down, how can we stop there? Must be rebuilt."
Shen Xuan such a sense of Wei's thinning after a long time to calculate the retreat of the powerful ministers do not make a sound Wei Yu such a truly loyal to the Wei room of the old ministers but almost by the words of this sentence is anxious to swallow the breath on the spot! He was just moved by the remembrance of the saint kneeled down to howl and cry to ask for forgiveness, until now did not get up, just as the momentum to continue to kowtow, and then the old tearful "saint can't, can't ah! Today's treasury is empty, not to mention the civil unrest everywhere in the world, if your holiness at this moment to rebuild Feng Ci water temple, will certainly be provoked by the civil unrest of the use of the people, to the Shang Zhou that year, without regard for the livelihood of the people to build Deer Terrace compared! The world is already in a state of public unrest, if you do this, I'm afraid that the people's hearts will be lost and the country will be shaken!"
Wei room of the treasury, now said empty, in fact, not to the point that can not afford to repair a Feng Ci water temple. The problem is that nowadays Wei has to spend a lot of money! And as Wei Yu said at this time to repair Feng Ci water temple, the biggest concern is not whether to repair, but can not be repaired!
Under the situation of the country's internal and external problems, the king is still in the harem drunkenly dreaming of death, which has made the people, including the scholars, very resentful. At this time, not to mention the repair of a burned two-thirds of the palace, even if it is a small maintenance of the palace city somewhere, will be those who rebel big reason rendering, by all means to the side of the Shang Dynasty to go to join ......
So Wei Yu, a kind of minister who still wants to support the Wei family, can not be anxious?
Just now, I thought that His Majesty had changed his nature. The son can be considered wise up, and now I know that that is to think of the beauty of good, the saint is clearly too Wei room defeat is not fast enough!
However, the saint's mind is already made up bearded and white Wei Yu under the Dan Dian knocked his head to the mountains, but only caused his anger "This dynasty to benevolence and filial piety to rule the country, the palace people inadvertently burned the ancestor's legacy of the Queen Dowager's water temple, I have been ashamed of the ancestors! How Situ is asking me to be an unfilial king?!"
Wei Yu said with tears in his eyes "Renxiao Renxiao, benevolence before filial piety, now the people are miserable, so it is easy to be instigated by people with bad intentions, forming civil unrest everywhere. Now is the time to implement benevolent government, pacify the people's hearts. When the world is settled, even if the emperor does not say, I think there will be subjects sympathetic to the will of the emperor, take the initiative to submit a table requesting the repair of Feng Ci water temple!"
"If the little people are not righteous, how dare they ask for my benevolence? Is it possible that I, as the Son of Heaven, should bow down to a group of pariahs? If so, where is the honor of the Son of Heaven? Where is the face of the Wei royal family!" Because of his long years of indulgence in wine and sex, the saint's old, cloudy and dim eyes suddenly become sober and clear he looks sternly at the old ministers bowing down under his highness, and his golden tongue speaks words that make Wei Yu go cold to his heart, "Wei Yu, you're old and confused! I am mindful of the fact that you have been handling the affairs of state for all these years, so I won't bother with you this time, so get out of the way!"
Wei Yu heard, the heart of the cold is anxious still to beg, but feel the wind beside him, is the lieutenant Liu Sihuai and Fu Shen Xuan at the same time as he pleaded for leniency the good thing is that the saint seems to be disturbed because of last night's water, the spirit of the moment is not too good, with Liu Sihuai and Shen Xuan The good thing is that the saint seems to be disturbed by the water last night, the spirit is not too good at the moment, Liu Sihuai and Shen Xuan on the round, reprimanded Wei Yu some, also got up and commanded to drive back to the harem.
