Chapter 44 Water and Land Ceremony
Chapter 44 Water and Land Dharma Assembly
In the following days, officials headed by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites also formulated corresponding regulations...
The imperial court recruited craftsmen from all over the country, announced the construction of the Sendai Dharma Ground, and prepared to hold the "Water and Land Dharma Assembly"...
At this time, Xu Boqing happened to be in the Tianlao, and had just finished absorbing the internal energy of several prisoners.
He seemed to have noticed something, and trembled slightly with some palpitations. Then he used the 'Tianmu Dharma Eye' with enlightenment and looked up...
Through the dungeon.
He saw that the purple-gold energy lingering over the capital was burning like a fire cooking oil. It seemed to be rising, it seemed to be trembling, and it seemed to contain some kind of strange change.
Even the old dragon transformed by the purple gold energy is also constantly tumbling and changing, as if it has reached a certain critical value of change!
After more than half a year of exploration, he no longer didn't understand anything when he first came here, but now he relies on guesswork to do everything. He can naturally see what such changes mean.
Jingcheng is the capital of Daliang and the location of the imperial city.
The purple-gold aura lingering over the capital represents the national destiny of Daliang!
The transformed 'dragon' has no entity and is more similar to the nature of a totem. You can intuitively observe the stage of the national destiny!
The original national destiny over the capital city turned into the shape of an old dragon, which represented that the national destiny of Daliang was "old" and in its twilight years.
Now, this illusory national destiny has changed, burning like a fire cooking oil. Doesn't it prove that Daliang's national destiny has reached a turning point that can change the future direction of the dynasty?
The old dragon statue is constantly changing and elusive. Does it mean that this 'turning point' is unpredictable?
It is possible to use this to rejuvenate the country, transform from an "old dragon" into a "young and strong dragon", and continue the country for another three to five hundred years;
It is also possible that the fire will cook the oil and burn away the last traces of the beam. From then on, it will plummet, the mountains and rivers will be shattered, and the dynasties will change!
So what exactly is the ‘turning point’ that can change the fate of the country?
Is it someone?
Or something?
Xu Boqing thought about it with his eyes slightly focused, and after he couldn't think of any clues, he was going to go out and ask the Prison Secretary Hu to see if anything important had happened in the Liang court.
When he went out, he paused slightly, as if he had thought of something. His sleeves flicked slightly, and a strong and vigorous energy came out of his body. The prisoners in the execution room who had been drained of their internal energy were knocked unconscious by the shock.
The internal strength he practices is very consistent with himself, and his progress is rapid. In addition, the "Star-Absorbing Demonic Skill" can quickly accumulate internal strength, and the pure Yang body's "body is like a furnace" is exempt from side effects. In addition, he is locked in the sky prison.
The prisoners are all martial arts masters escorted from various places in Daliang.
With the gathering of all parties, he had broken through to the innate realm three months ago with his strong internal strength!!
As the saying goes, "Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together", nothing could be better than this.
Now the internal force in his body is like a bridge connecting the limbs and bones to the furnace, continuously and endlessly. Even he himself cannot tell the extent of his current martial arts cultivation...
After all, there are no innate records in the book.
Prison Secretary Hu was notified by his jailer, and also knew that Eunuch Xu had finished practicing the "Hua Gong Dafa" today, so he quickly went out and greeted him: "I respectfully wish my father-in-law a great success..."
"We are all old acquaintances, why should we care about these false courtesy?"
"Acquaintance is acquaintance, etiquette cannot be discarded."
Xu Boqing shook his head. After smelling the aroma of wine in the warden's quarters, he went in unceremoniously and sat at the table. He poured a glass of wine and took a sip. Then he frowned and muttered: "This is not the right year for spring breeze drunkenness."
"My father-in-law doesn't know something."
Prison Secretary Hu hurriedly came over to accompany him, and explained with a wry smile: "It's not that I mean to fool my father-in-law, but the banquet hosted by Prime Minister Zhang the day before yesterday, and the Haixiang Tower's more than 20 years old wine has been rounded up. I have no choice but to send this under-aged wine."
of."
"Prime Minister Zhang is hosting a banquet?"
Xu Boqing's heart moved slightly, thinking of the Liang Dynasty he had seen before, and asked: "Does Prison Secretary Hu know why Prime Minister Zhang held a banquet?"
"It is said that it was a banquet hosted by the eldest son of Prime Minister Zhang's family to marry his wife."
Prison Secretary Hu glanced at the door, then leaned over and said softly: "Actually, it was because Gu Xiangchao, the political enemy of Prime Minister Zhang, annoyed His Majesty and was dismissed from his post and sent to prison. He is still in our prison. Prime Minister Zhang took this opportunity to hold a banquet to celebrate his success.
"
"Have you annoyed Your Majesty?"
Xu Boqing frowned slightly and grasped the key words.
After staying in the palace for half a year, although he didn't know many people, he read a lot of books. He also knew that the so-called Gu Xiang was the troublemaking old man he met while telling fortunes in Hongyang County.
After he was reinstated, he became the left prime minister. It can be said that he was one of the small group of people who stood at the top of the power. But now he was dismissed and imprisoned again. Could it be that he was the "turning point" in the national destiny?
Your Majesty was annoyed by the court, no, by the court!?
Xu Boqing's eyes moved slightly and asked: "Your Majesty has gone to court?"
Prison Secretary Hu responded in surprise: "My father-in-law, don't you know this?"
"I have been living in the harem for a long time, how do I know that?"
"That's true..."
The Dog Emperor has been 'cultivating immortality' over the years and has been cultivating demons. He has been in court only a handful of times, and Prime Minister Gu has been dismissed three times. It has only been half a year since he was reinstated. He should keep a low profile and bide his time. Why did the Dog Emperor get angry at the court?
Xu Boqing frowned and asked: "Does Prison Secretary Hu know what was discussed at the court meeting? Why did Prime Minister Gu offend His Majesty and was directly dismissed from his post and imprisoned?"
"It's no secret anymore."
Prison Secretary Hu picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine, and explained: "Your Majesty's quest for immortality is known all over the world. When he went to court a few days ago, he proposed to build an immortal platform in the capital, build a dharma field, and hold a grand water ceremony.
’s Dharma Conference.”
"Water or something?"
Xu Boqing's heart moved slightly and he said: "Water and Land Dharma Assembly?"
"Yes, yes, it's the Water and Land Dharma Assembly."
Prison Secretary Hu exclaimed: "It is said that this 'Water and Land Dharma Assembly' can recruit talents, drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters. His Majesty also proposed to use this to invite talented people from all over the world to come to Beijing and select true immortals and true Buddhas to be canonized as national preceptors."
, enjoy the blessing of a country's luck and be worshiped by the royal family.
Some veteran ministers did not want to waste money and people, so naturally they strongly opposed it;
However, those headed by Prime Minister Zhang also agreed with this matter, and the two parties were at loggerheads.
Later, His Majesty directly ordered that no money from the treasury be used, and no taxes be increased, so that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites would allocate the money and labor for the construction of the imperial mausoleum to build a celestial platform and a Dharma ground, and hold a Dharma conference three years later to participate in the grand event."
"..."
Xu Boqing was stunned when he heard that he finally found the 'turning point' in the change of the national destiny!
Generally, when an emperor comes to power, he will send people to select geomantic treasures for the construction of his imperial mausoleum, and the construction may take decades.
There is nothing wrong with being the king of a country during your lifetime and pursuing glory and wealth after your death.
One of the more important reasons is that people at that time firmly believed that their own tombs would directly affect the destiny of future generations. As the tomb of the emperor, the imperial mausoleum was the foundation for stabilizing the destiny of a country!!
And now Emperor Yonghe stopped the imperial mausoleum that he was still building in order to build an immortal platform, build a Dharma field, hold water and land Dharma gatherings, and also canonize the ‘National Preceptor’ to enjoy the destiny of a country and receive royal worship...
What is this damn thing if it’s not a ‘turning point’!?
Xu Boqing took a breath from between his teeth and asked with an incomprehensible expression: "Isn't there anyone who objects to this?"
"Yes, I have!!"
Prison Secretary Hu nodded, pointed to the direction of Tianlao, and said: "Gu Fang was the loudest in opposing, and even expressed his determination to die. He hit a pillar but did not die, his face was covered with blood, and he was still in a coma when he was killed.
He was dismissed from his post and imprisoned in a prison."
"..."
