Chapter 31
This rain was so heavy that it lasted for four or five days.On the day when the rain stopped, there was no cloud in the sky, and the sky was as blue as a pool of clear water.
On a large square in the center of Cangyu City, a tall sacrificial platform was erected.Sitting in the carriage, Bo Xuanzhao lifted the curtain and took a look there.
"Brother makes people rush to work day and night. Is this sacrificial altar, brother Six, satisfied?" Bo Xuansi lifted the curtain of the carriage and sat in the driver's seat, not intending to enter.
Ru Liangyu held a volume of books in his hand, with some secret symbols densely printed on it, and some petty seal characters for annotations beside it.Bo Xuanzhao leaned over, "What is this?"
"Huh?" Ru Liangyu looked away from the book for a while, "I'm not a magic wand, and I'm not very skilled in this kind of blessing process." There is no sense of shame at all when I say this.
Bo Xuanzhao smoothly turned over a few pages of the book, "I don't understand." Those symbols made him dizzy.The curtain was lifted again, and many people had already gathered outside, densely packed.
"How are the guards arranged?" He still remembered what those people said in Fuze County last time.
"It's been arranged." Bo Xuansi's side of the face was bathed in the warm sunshine. "A long rain will bring sunshine, and a long rain will surely rain." With a jerk of his body, he jumped off the carriage.
A short bodyguard followed immediately.With his hands behind his back, Bo Xuansi took two steps and stopped to look at the guards, "Xue Yuan, go and take a good seat for me."
"As ordered." Xue Yuan lowered his head, while answering respectfully, rolled his eyes indecently, and then resigned to his fate and squeezed into the crowd.
Li Changsheng was not as conscious as Bo Xuansi, he stepped into the carriage, opened the curtain, and walked in directly.Glancing at the book in Ru Liangyu's hand, he flicked it back and forth twice with the closed fan.
"Tsk, this is sharpening a gun in battle?" When Li Changsheng was young, he was brought by Mrs. Li for a while and lived in Changxian Villa. He had naturally seen this kind of book.
No, the book in Ru Liangyu's hand was found from his study in Lijiazhuang.
Ru Liangyu picked up the book and hit Li Changsheng's hand hard.Then, he leaned back against the car wall and looked at the book in his hand.
"Is Master Li not doing anything else?" Bo Xuanzhao grabbed one of Ru Liangyu's hands, and Ru Liangyu arched her legs proudly and put the book on her lap.
"Of course it's fine." Li Changsheng was feeling sad, what was more important than coming to meet His Highness the Crown Prince.What he said turned out to be: "Cao Min suddenly remembered that there are still two taels of herbal medicine in the village that have not been dried, so I will leave first."
Ru Liangyu closed the book and put it aside casually, watching Li Changsheng's back getting out of the carriage and laughing. "Two taels? Changsheng, you have to watch closely, don't let it blow you away with a sneeze."
"Ru Liangyu, you..." Li Changsheng gritted his teeth. In the few days since Ru Liangyu came here, he changed his face more times than in the past year.
Bo Xuanzhao looked at Ru Liangyu teasing Li Changsheng, although he felt a little apprehensive, but he couldn't get enough of the mischievousness on his face that was different from before. "Um?"
Wretched, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not old!Li Changsheng's remaining words were choked back into his stomach by Bo Xuanzhao with a threatening sound.
As soon as Li Changsheng went out, Bo Xuanzhao called Yuansuo, "Go find a guard's clothes for this palace."
"You want to follow?" Ru Liangyu fastened the cloud pattern veil hanging on the side of the ear.
Looking at the sacrificial altar outside, it was five feet high.As for the surrounding area of the sacrificial platform, the terrain is open, and there are no tall buildings in the first place.The tallest one is an inn in Tingyulou, with two floors and no more than three feet.
"I can't see you from below." Bo Xuanzhao took the clothes Yuan Suo handed over, and ordered, "Wait outside."
Ru Liangyu watched as Bo Xuanzhao opened the girdle seal and unbuttoned it, and when he took off his coat, he unfolded the clothes that Yuan Suo had just brought over.
"I haven't seen you do this yet." Bo Xuanzhao followed Ru Liangyu's movements, raised his arms and raised his head. "It's nothing to look at." Ru Liangyu tied the belt for him, and straightened the clothes a bit.
The sound outside was getting louder, Yuan Suo approached the carriage and knocked on the wall of the carriage. "My lord, it's time." Turning around, he arranged two rows of guards behind him, pushed aside the crowd, and made a way to the sacrificial altar.
The clothes Ru Liangyu wore today also had large cloud patterns on them.However, it is not as complicated and detailed as court clothes, and the contrasting black silk thread is still used.
Yinzi followed behind Ru Liangyu, wearing a long robe of blue color, with cloud patterns embroidered on his girdle.When Ru Liangyu got off the carriage, Yinzi followed, and tied the black cloak for Ru Liangyu.
Bo Xuanzhao put his hand on the saber, a little half a step behind Yinzi, and followed behind.The three of them boarded the sacrificial altar, and Ru Liangyu looked at the crowded people standing below the altar, and there was a lot of noise.
When I raised my hand, the wide cuffs were hanging down.Ru Liangyu suddenly flipped his palms back, and in an instant, a strong wind blew up his robe, black and white collided violently in the wind.
Bo Xuanzhao could hardly restrain his pace, he wanted to go forward and grab Ru Liangyu, in case this person disappeared into the wind, he wondered if he could do it all over again.
Afraid of waking up from the dream, also afraid of the end of the dream.
"In the 34th year of Tiancheng, locusts from Cangyu crossed the border, and Fuze plague was rampant. Ru Liangyu, the sixth generation national teacher of Changli, prayed here."
The wind continued, and the people in the audience were no longer as noisy as they were at the beginning. They all raised their heads and focused their eyes on Ru Liangyu on the stage.That is their Changli's national teacher, like a god.
"May God bless me, Changli. The wind and rain will be as good as ever, and the time will be rich." Ru Liangyu waved her wide sleeve across the arm hanging beside her.He crossed his hands and raised his head high, bowed down and bowed, "Ru Liangyu Yours respectfully."
"May the ancestors protect me, Changli, the sea and rivers are clear, and the birds and beasts lead the dance." Leaning down, he bowed again, "Your Majesty, Ru Liangyu." In the sound of hunting wind, Ru Liangyu's words were still bright.
Ru Liangyu looked at her sleeves fluttering in the wind, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Pray to the sky and kowtow to the ancestors!" The aftertaste of the voice was heard far away, and Yinzi, who was standing behind, walked to the back of Ru Liangyu and knelt down. Down.
Bo Xuansi raised his head and just happened to be able to see Ru Liangyu and Bo Xuanzhao standing on the high platform. Don't think about it, the eyes of his sixth younger brother must be glued to Ru Liangyu's body.
Master Changli, he is really powerful.
"Master!" Xue Yuan called several times, but no one answered.With a strong hand, he tugged at the hem of Bo Xuansi's clothes and dragged him to his knees.
After three prostrations, Ru Liangyu spread her arms and fell back behind her.The frenzied wind also softened.Bo Xuansi stood up, feeling the pain in his knee, and looked Xue Yuan up and down.
"How courageous." Xue Yuan was about to kneel down, but Bo Xuansi raised his foot and placed it on his slightly bent knee. He couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger. "Do you want to expose the identity of the master? You idiot."
Xue Yuan felt as if his knee had been hit by a boulder, it must be more painful than falling directly on the ground, besides, when Bo Xuansi knelt down just now, he even blocked it.
"Just now everyone around me knelt down, but I was standing alone, and my subordinates were afraid..." Xue Yuan endured the pain, his facial muscles tensed, and he finished speaking.
"Hmph." Bo Xuansi brushed off his robe with his sleeve, Xue Yuan was really no wonder. "Go down first, you won't be on duty for two days." He knew the strength of that kick.
Xue Yuan made a very small bow, "Thank you, my subordinate." After receiving a nod from Bo Xuansi, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd. His walking posture was a bit awkward, and his knee hurt so badly.
Before he could take a few steps, he was hit again.Just before Bo Xuansi looked back, he stretched out his hand to help.Xue Yuan hurriedly dodged, and continued walking without even paying attention to etiquette.
Bo Xuansi looked at Xue Yuan's red ears, and his hands were still in the motion of supporting him. Just that moment...was that what he thought?
"I beg the Master of the State Teacher to make decisions for the women of the people." Before Bo Xuan could think about it, he heard a shrill female voice, screaming, and wanted to convey it to the people on the high platform.
Looking over the crowd, he saw the small Xue Yuan trying to squeeze out of the crowd.
"Minnv sued Fang Yingcai, the magistrate of Cangyu Prefecture, for five crimes: persecuting the common people, increasing exorbitant taxes, robbing women, embezzling and accepting bribes, and buying and selling officials during his tenure."
Bo Xuansi couldn't leave for a while, but he couldn't find Xue Yuan in a blink of an eye.In the originally quiet square, people's voices became noisy again, all because of the woman's words.
