When Yang Xuan was about to leave, the emperor stopped him again.
"I heard that Master Zhang is running a dojo in Tiantan, and you are in charge of it?"
Yang Xuan cupped his hand and said: "It is the small minister who takes care of it. Master Zhang devotes himself to cultivating Taoism and ignores secular affairs, and the small minister does the work for him."
The emperor nodded: "You did a good job. I heard that Zhenzhen Zhang has a high level of cultivation, and those who receive his blessings in the dojo have benefited from it. Is this true?"
"Your Majesty, I don't understand this. It's just that after I stayed by the dojo for a while, I felt clear-headed and refreshed."
Yang Xuan obviously saw the emperor's eyes light up, but the emperor still said calmly: "In this case, I am also very interested and want to go to pray for blessings. However, my identity makes it difficult for me to travel. The Yang Qing family will make arrangements for me so as not to disturb the people.
.”
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I will make arrangements now."
As he spoke, he murmured in his mind, the emperor is going to the dojo, does he still need to make arrangements by himself?
Could it be that he has already been there because he can't get in without a ticket?
Yang Xuan immediately thought that it was a waste of resources for the emperor to pass by so quietly.
In this prosperous dynasty, is there any spokesman more powerful than the emperor?
Yang Xuan instantly listed a series of spokesperson promotional activities in his mind.
"Your Majesty, after all, Tian Tan is not as good as in the palace. Although the Emperor doesn't want to alarm the people, the safety measures must still be in place." Yang Xuan said and glanced at Wang Daban who was aside: "You think so, Mr. Wang.
"
Wang Daban has always been a transparent person. He didn't expect that Yang Xuan would ask him for his opinion. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "What Mr. Yang said is absolutely correct."
The emperor smiled: "Just tell me what tricks you have up to now."
"The emperor clearly understands everything, and I admire him."
Yang Xuan said: "The emperor believes in Taoism, but Taoism is not prosperous in our Dasheng Dynasty. If we can use the emperor's prestige to promote Taoism this time, wouldn't there be more people in the world who believe in Taoism?"
"You, you, you." The emperor pointed at Yang Xuan and said, "I won't even let you go."
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to the emperor and the country. I bow..."
"Shut up."
"..."
"I promise you that."
"My lord, thank you for your kindness."
For this publicity, Yang Xuan made many special arrangements.
A notice was posted at Tiantan's entrance in advance, stating that the access control would be strictly enforced in two days and those who had purchased the tickets would not be allowed to enter together with unrelated people.
According to Yang Xuan's arrangement, the day the emperor comes is the last day of this dojo.
Although this trip does not meet the standards of worshiping the heavens, the safety is basically the same.
Both sides of the entire Tiantan Street are closely guarded by Yulin Guards. They do not prohibit people from passing through, but they must accept strict interrogations.
The people who had lived in Yingtian Mansion all their lives knew that only the emperor would behave like this when traveling, so instead of panicking, they became curious.
This road leads directly to Tiantan. Is it possible that the emperor also goes to Tiantan to pray?
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor is equivalent to a god in the world. It is a great honor to be able to see the emperor. Even if you cannot see the emperor, it is an honor to pray with the emperor.
When the people came to Tiantan, they discovered that Tiantan today was different from the previous days.
Far away, there was a red carpet spread on the ground, and the entire Tiantan wall was filled with Yulin guards.
Some people who arrived first were also blocked outside the door and were not allowed to enter Tiantan for the time being.
Not long after, the emperor's carriage came over. This carriage was specially made by Shunfengxing. It has a suspended chassis and high-strength steel carriage plywood, which can effectively resist crossbow arrows. The whole carriage uses a lot of steel, and its weight is not small.
It won't roll over.
Originally, this carriage could be pulled by two horses, but it was equipped with a removable shaft to harness more horses. After all, the king could drive six horses, and on certain occasions, such a pomp was needed.
Of course, you won't need it today.
The emperor sat in the carriage and looked at the people outside through the thick glazed windows with a smile on his face. It seemed that there were quite a few people who believed in Taoism.
After getting off the carriage, the emperor stepped on the red carpet as soon as he landed. Outside the broad red carpet, there were two rows of Jinwu Guards, protecting the road that the emperor passed. And the common people a little further away each held a
Taoist magic weapon five-color flag.
"Long live the Emperor."
"The Emperor's blessings and longevity are boundless."
"Hail, Your Majesty."
Various words of blessing rang out, and the emperor smiled. He wanted to continue to maintain the majesty of the emperor, but then he remembered what Yang Xuan said, to be close to the people. The closer you are to the people, the more loved you will be by the people.
So he made the Taoist Ziwu Jue gesture and slightly arched his head towards both sides of the road.
I never expected that such a simple gesture from him would immediately make the people on both sides become excited, the blessings would get louder, the five-color flags would be waved more vigorously, and some people would even jump up and shout.
Seeing this scene, the emperor grinned from ear to ear.
In the past, when traveling, common people were forced to bow their heads and were not allowed to face the emperor directly.
There are two reasons for doing this, one is for safety, and the other is to maintain the majesty of the king and make his subjects fear him.
But Yang Xuan's few words made the emperor change his mind.
First of all, security issues are easy to solve. After all, those who are able to come here have bought tickets, their family backgrounds can withstand inspections, and they were interrogated three times along the way. There are absolutely no sharp weapons on these people.
The second is the issue of majesty. Yang Xuan's original words are: "The emperor has ruled his subjects for more than forty years, and his majesty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There is no need to show the majesty of the emperor in this way. Besides, this is just an ordinary trip."
, there’s no need to be so serious.”
Looking at it today, it turns out that as Yang Xuan said, it is even more popular among the people.
This Yang Xuan can really control the scene.
The journey was not long, and when the emperor entered Tiantan, Master Zhang was already waiting there.
Nowadays, Master Zhang is truly a real person. He looks like a master from outside the world. He pinches Ziwu Jue and bows his hand to the Emperor: "Blessed is the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. Zhang Chungang, a poor Taoist, has met the Emperor."
The emperor took a look and found that this Master Zhang was even more transcendent than the one from Longhu Mountain. He was worthy of being the uncle of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, so he quickly pinched the Ziwu Jue to repay the courtesy: "I have met Master Zhang."
Zhang Zhenren, a master of the world, led the emperor to Tiantan. Next to Zhenzhen Zhang's futon, there was a low couch with a futon on top. This was the emperor's position.
After the emperor took his seat and the Jinwu guards arranged their positions, they began to let the believers in.
Because of the emperor's arrival, the demon-suppressing altar could no longer be placed on top, but was moved below the high platform.
Although it is a bit far away, today I bought a magic weapon and put it into the demon-suppressing altar, and received double blessings from Master Zhang and the emperor.
This alone can make believers excited.
Although the emperor could not read any Taoist scriptures to them or say any words of blessing, these ordinary believers would never have the chance to see the emperor.
You must know that this distance is closer than the distance between some low-ranking officials at the Great Court and the emperor.
In common people's terms, it means that there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves.
When Master Zhang began to recite the sutra, the emperor also recited the sutra together. The emperor was surprised to find that it had some effect.
Compared with the previous dojo that Zhang Tianshi specially built on Longhu Mountain, the feeling is clearer.
