Chapter 991: Saint King Renjie, Monthly Pass)

The hero of Guanzhong, the vastness of the plain, ranks first in the world.

In its center, there are four walls stretching for an unknown amount of time, as far as the eye can see.

The walls are high, the city is deep, there are many palaces and palaces, and the roofs with high eaves are covered with tiles.

Jiang Zhou and his party handed over their credentials and entered the city. They were amazed and shocked by what they saw along the way.

The Divine Capital of Daji can already be called a majestic city on earth and a jade capital in heaven.

This Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty was actually far better than that.

Especially Jiang Zhou, he never imagined that he would one day see "Chang'an" with his own eyes.

And compared to what is known from the pile of old papers, it is basically one day and one place.

Perhaps there is no overlap between the two places.

"How can there be such a majestic city in the world..."

Along the way, Su Nisheng did not sigh greatly.

Although it was inconvenient to say it clearly, Jiang Zhou and Lin Shushu knew that he was comparing Daji Shendu.

Although Shendu also has its advantages, when it comes to its spirit, it is far inferior to it.

This aura is not only the architectural pattern of the city itself.

Or the people in it.

At this time, Chang'an in this world really made Jiang Zhou see the magnificent spirit of "nine heavens open the palace, and the clothes and crowns of all nations worship the crown".

The people here also have the self-confidence and ambition to "enjoy relaxation, thrive, think about flying, and want to go up to the sky to embrace the bright moon."

"In such a prosperous time, the King of Tang can really be called a holy king..."



At this moment, Tang Wang Li Shimin, who was praised as a holy king by Jiang Zhou and others, was standing high above the golden palace with a sad face.

"...Your Majesty, the severe drought has now spread across thirty-one prefectures in Guan Nei, twenty prefectures in Hedong, and twenty-seven prefectures in Hebei. There is also a locust plague raging in Guan Nei, and most of the fields have been destroyed by locust swarms, leaving no harvest..."

"Hungry people are everywhere, and their bones are exposed..."

Li Shimin's face was as heavy as water and his heart ached as he listened to the report of the disasters in various places by His Highness and his ministers.

"Gentlemen, what can you teach me?"

Li Shimin looked forward to it, and he looked around at the ministers, only to see that every one of them was sighing, or had a sad look on his face, or his head was bowed, and he couldn't help but feel angry secretly.

Suddenly someone came out of the class and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that Feng Yuanshu, the magistrate of Qingzhang County, exposed himself under the scorching sun in the atrium a few days ago and prayed to the sky for rain. If the rain does not fall, please bear the blame with your body and accumulate firewood to set himself on fire. At noon, the firewood ignited.

, his body will be burned, but it will rain heavily and the entire county will be flooded."

Li Shimin was surprised: "Oh? This is actually happening?"

Immediately he stood up from the precious couch, walked a few steps with his hands behind his hands, and said with sadness on his face: "Is it true that this great disaster is because of my shortcomings in virtue, and I have sinned against God, causing all living beings and the people to suffer?"

"If this is true, I am unworthy of the people and unworthy of being a king!"

"I am guilty!"

When the emperor said these words, the officials could not remain indifferent and fell to the ground to apologize.

True or false is not important, what matters is attitude.

"Your Majesty, the disaster has spread to three areas now. It is useless to blame yourself."

The veteran minister of His Highness stood up and said: "Since Your Majesty has committed his own sins on Heaven, it is better to choose an auspicious time to offer sacrifices to Heaven and ask Heaven to send blessings to relieve this great disaster."

When Li Shimin looked at it, he already had a headache, but at the first glance, it became even more painful.

This person is Zheng Guogong and Wei Zheng.

It’s you again! One day, I will definitely make you, a farmer, look good!

Li Shimin cursed secretly in his heart.

Another person heard someone say: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Your Majesty, as the Holy King of the Tang Dynasty, how can you easily sin against yourself? If all disasters in the world are caused by your Majesty's moral failings, then your Majesty will not have to deal with government affairs. You can just burn incense and worship God every day."

Li Shimin was secretly happy, and when he looked around, he saw that this person was Tang Qian, the Duke of Ju Kingdom.

At that moment, he ignored the farmer and asked Tang Qian, "Does the Duke of Ju have any good advice for me?"

"Your Majesty, God's will is far-reaching and unfathomable, but since disasters have befallen our human race, we don't have to worry about them. If there is a disaster, we will save it, and if there is a disaster, we will solve it."

"Your Majesty is working hard to rule the country, humanity is prospering, and there are countless experts and scholars in the world. It is better to issue an edict and invite the experts in the world. I will surely be able to bring heavy rains, eliminate the locust plague, and save all people from hanging upside down!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "This is exactly what I want! Is there anyone suitable for the Duke of Ju?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, while in Chang'an City, I heard that there is a great virtue in the Divine Thunder Jade Mansion, which is quite good at performing the method of thunder and rain, and has the power to subjugate demons and slay evil spirits. If your Majesty issues an edict, you should be able to invite these two high-ranking officials.

People can solve great disasters."

Li Shimin said happily: "I wonder what's so wonderful about these two places?"

Tang Qian said: "That great virtue is the Taoist Dharma protector, Wang Lingguan, who is the legal authority in the lower realms of the human world."

"It is said that Wang Lingguan is an envoy under the command of True Lord You Sheng. Taiyi Thunder Yinghua Zun, Dutian patrols the Great Spiritual Officer, and he is called True Lord Long En."

"The Divine Thunder Jade Mansion is the righteous god of the Heavenly Thunder Department. It is responsible for the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, rewarding good and punishing evil, and just making clouds and rain. It should not be mentioned."

Li Shimin was even more overjoyed when he heard such a prominent name.

At this time, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, what the Duke of Ju said is wishful thinking. This thunderstorm is ordered by the heaven. Even a wise man with true moral cultivation needs to obtain the decree of the heaven. Otherwise, who would dare to disobey the destiny of heaven?"

Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened as if a basin of cold water had been poured down his face: "Then what can Wei Qing teach me?"

Wei Zheng seemed to be unable to see the expression on Li Shimin's face. He hugged the hut and said, "Your Majesty, I still want to say this. Since disaster has befallen heaven, you should pray to heaven to accuse him and ask heaven to show mercy."

"Old man!"

Li Shimin couldn't hold back his anger anymore and cursed: "You just don't like me, but you want me to bow my head and admit guilt, just to see my joke!"

"I am afraid, but I dare not."

Wei Zheng held the scepter in his arms and bent down to accuse him, but his expression was calm and there was no hint of fear.

The ministers bowed their heads and said nothing, silently sighing in their hearts: Here we go again.

However, everyone also knew that there was no real quarrel between the two.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty was able to reach its current state of prosperity, and the country's rise from the mortal realm was not the result of any one person's efforts.

Only when the emperor and his ministers are united can such great achievements be achieved.

No one who can stand in this hall today has any different intentions, and they are all outstanding people.

It's just that the reason why outstanding people are outstanding people is that they must be different, have strong aspirations, and have their own ways and ambitions.

For example, the two monarchs and ministers in front of me are used to fighting. When they were in the mortal realm, this old man from Wei often kept His Majesty from coming to the stage. This is still the case in the realm of earth and immortals.

At the head of the hundred officials, a slightly fat man shook his head and sighed, then stood up to smooth things over and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Li Shimin was still aggrieved, but when he saw the person who was speaking, he could only hold back his anger and said: "Speak!"

The old minister said: "Today there is that great wasteland. An envoy from your country has come to hand over the letter of credence. That great wasteland is hundreds of millions of miles away overseas. His envoys have worked tirelessly to come to our country. This shows their sincerity. Your Majesty."

I should summon his envoys and encourage him to reward him, so that I can show my grace and majesty to my superior country."

After Li Shimin heard this, he sat back on his precious couch and calmed down the anger in his heart.

A small and vast country is certainly not worth mentioning at this time.

He knew in his heart that this was Changsun Wuji giving him a step.

He could only say: "Since he is a messenger from afar, I should treat him well."

"Where is Liu Shanyin, the minister of Honglu Temple?"

One person came out of class and said, "I'm here!"

Li Shimin asked: "Where is the envoy from your country now?"

Foreign envoys were all under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple, and their credentials were submitted as soon as possible.

"this……"

Unexpectedly, Liu Shanyin looked troubled and hesitant.

"Um?"

Li Shimin frowned: "Why is Liu Qing so hesitant?"

Liu Shanyin lamented in his heart and saw that he could not escape the cloud, so he had to tell the truth: "Back to Your Majesty, after the envoys submitted their credentials, I arranged for them to live in the Dian Ke Office. I hope to hold a banquet in honor of Your Majesty after they report to you."

"It's just that before I came to court, I heard the officials from the office come to report. The four envoys left the guest office, saying..."
