Chapter 246 It's going to rain
Some Taoist priests even shed tears in excitement.
Finally, after so many days of hard work, they finally waited until God opened his eyes and it was going to rain!
Thinking of this, the Taoist priests could no longer maintain the reserve on their faces and stood up one after another.
"Praying for rain is successful, the wind has come, and the rain follows!"
"My lords, please report to the emperor quickly, it will rain soon!"
"Minren Li, Master Zhang Tian, Taoist Master, is it really going to rain?"
A doctor from the Ministry of Rites who had been guarding the altar, couldn't help but look happy after hearing this, and felt like he wanted to burst into tears.
It’s so difficult. After so many days of suffering, these Taoist priests finally asked for the rain!
"That's right, Lord Tian, please see that the flag on the altar has begun to be blown. The wind has begun to rise, and heavy rain will definitely not be waiting for a long time!"
"Hahaha, I will replace the millions of people around Nanjing City. Thank you for your kindness. I will report this great joy to the emperor!"
As he said that, Doctor Tian ran away.
...
"Father, great joy!"
Zhu Biao, who had returned to the palace, had not yet fully walked into the imperial study, shouted with joy on his face.
"Biao'er, why did you get so excited?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said curiously.
He has never seen Zhu Biao lose his composure since he made him the crown prince.
"Father, great joy, my second brother said that it will rain in Nanjing tonight or tomorrow!"
Zhu Biao said quickly.
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and stood up from the dragon throne. His tiger eyes stared at Zhu Biao tightly, "Biao'er, what you said is true?"
"Report to my father, this matter was said by my second brother himself, so it will be impossible to be wrong!" Zhu Biao replied.
"That would be a great joy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang walked down with excitement, clasped his hands tightly, and walked around the imperial study room.
"Yun Qi, go and call Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and six other ministries, all of them will come in!"
"Yes, the emperor!"
Yun Qi responded respectfully and quickly walked out.
"Emperor, Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
Not long after Yun Qi went out, the Minister of Rites, Qian Yongren, trotted in with excitement on his face.
When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he bowed his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, those real Taoist priests have successfully prayed for rain!"
"It won't be long before it will rain in Nanjing!"
After saying that, Qian Yongren looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with anticipation.
But unexpectedly, he did not see the surprise that should have appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. Even the expression of Zhu Yuanzhang's face has not changed.
"emperor?"
Seeing this, Qian Yongren couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Well, we already know." Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Qian Yongren and said slowly.
As for the merits of praying for rain, Zhu Yuanzhang had just pressed this merit on Zhu Zi'an when Zhu Biao came in. As for the money and the Taoist priests who had worked hard for a month on the altar, Zhu Yuanzhang had long been labeled as incompetent.
"this?"
After hearing this, Qian Yongren paused and secretly looked at Zhu Biao next to him, then stood aside, at a loss.
Fortunately, he didn't embarrass him for too long. Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Tang He and a group of familiar six ministers walked in from outside the hall.
"I'll pay homage to the emperor!"
After the ceremony, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others hurriedly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang above.
"We just got the exact news. From tonight to tomorrow, it will inevitably rain in Nanjing!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a happy face.
"What, it's raining?"
After hearing this, the officials were full of surprise and suspicion.
Then, after seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, he didn't seem to be joking, he turned his head and slowly looked at Qian Yongren, the Minister of Rites beside him.
The Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for the rain prayer.
Moreover, today's Qian Yongren was more than me and I arrived at the imperial study room earlier. I guess, Qian Yongren should have reported the good news to the emperor.
Qian Yongren was also depressed after seeing the inquiring eyes of the ministers.
Although the success of praying for rain was due to their Ministry of Rites, it seems that there was someone who asked to take the lead before he reported it.
"This matter was said by Wudang Xiaozhen, and I believe it is impossible to be wrong!"
Above, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the inquiry expressions of the ministers, and he continued to say a hint of complacent eyes.
"Also, Qian Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites also reported this to us just now, so it will definitely rain in Nanjing tonight or tomorrow."
"God bless me, Ming Dynasty, congratulations to the Emperor!"
After hearing this, the ministers, including Li Shanchang, looked happy and quickly thought of Zhu Yuanzhang bowing.
As for Qian Yongren, although everyone was smiling, he was gritting his teeth in his heart. What a little Wudang real man who stole another great contribution from him.
"Okay, let's call you in, I'm not listening to you flattering me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand slightly, and said, "It has not rained for so many days. I believe those people have forgotten to prevent it. Therefore, you must be prepared for precautions. Don't be that raining is a very happy thing, but it causes trouble!"
"I will obey the order!"
Li Shanchang and others hurriedly bowed and bowed.
Then, half an hour after they walked out of the palace.
There were several pairs of cavalry running out from the four gates of Nanjing City.
And in various streets and alleys in Nanjing, a pair of soldiers and yamen runners appeared.
A shouting voice.
Posting notice!
"It's going to rain?"
"God has eyes, there will be no drought this year!"
"Now, the crops in the fields have been saved again..."
Suddenly, the city of Nanjing was filled with cheers.
At the same time, in Zhang Mansion in the east of the city.
Although he was also very happy, the owner of the Zhang Mansion was full of depression and even a little gloomy.
"Then the notice, Wudang Xiao Zhenren, who predicted that it would rain, was the owner of Zhenyi's shop?"
A young noble man asked slowly at Zhang Mu on the side.
"Best Master, it's that little real person!"
Zhang Mu replied quickly.
"This little Wudang true man is a closed disciple of the old Wudang immortal. He has a very evil ability and seems to be able to do anything and can do anything!"
Zhang Mu quickly explained all the information he had collected about Zhu Zi'an over the past few days.
"Hmph, it's extremely ridiculous!"
But the noble young man looked disdainful after listening to it.
"How can such a person be found in today's world?"
But the noble young man looked disdainful after listening to it.
