Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 1944

He couldn't help looking at Zhou man.

Man Baoli lowered his head and stared at his toes.

When the emperor saw it, he was so angry that he breathed heavily. It was clearly caused by her!

"Emperor -"

The emperor regained his mind, immediately took the Empress Dowager's hand and said sincerely, "the Empress Dowager will go if she wants, or I'll let the prince go? In which Taoist temple did you make your wish? "

The Empress Dowager became silent when she heard the speech. After half a ring, she sighed, "you didn't ask me. I didn't find out. I didn't make a wish myself. How can I repay it?"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and thought it had been fooled. Who knows, the Empress Dowager suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "emperor, I'm going to xuandu temple."

The emperor stared and hurriedly admonished, "what's the mother's wish? It's better to let the crown prince take a trip. How can you go in person?"

But the Empress Dowager's eyes were firm and said, "no, AI's family should go in person. If you are sincere, how can you expect gods to visit you?"

Emperor:

He turned to stare at Zhou man.

Zhou man had to follow his advice under his eyes, "madam, your body is not suitable for travel."

However, the Empress Dowager recognized the principle of "sincerity is spirit" and insisted, "mourning is to go there in person."

Even Mingda followed her advice, but it was useless. She didn't know which words of Zhou man stimulated her. She must go there in person to show that she was not a fan but not a believer, but both a believer and a fan, and was very pious to the gods.

Man Bao was very sad, and the emperor was even more sad, because in the end, the Empress Dowager simply held his hand and called "cat slave". Tears swirled in his eyes. The emperor couldn't say anything if he refused, so his head should go down as soon as he was hot.

He just answered, and the words seemed to linger in his ears. He regretted it in his heart, but the Empress Dowager nodded happily and said, "I know that cat slaves are the most filial."

Let the emperor even have no chance to repent.

It was two-quarters of an hour before the three daughters of monarchs and ministers stood at the door of the hall. The Empress Dowager knew how to take it when it was good. While asking people to prepare things for travel, she said she was tired and wanted to rest.

The emperor waited on the Empress Dowager to rest, and then left with Zhou man and Mingda.

Standing on the green stone path at the gate of the palace, man Bao and Mingda lowered their heads together.

The emperor stood in front of them, staring at this and that. He didn't know who to blame.

After all, the two children had good intentions at the beginning. Mingda was filial and Zhou man was kind to friends. Regardless of the results, her heart was also good. I hope Mingda and the queen live a long and healthy life.

So the emperor took a deep breath and put down his anger. He couldn't help complaining about the Empress Dowager in his heart. Zhou man said that he should believe in God and Buddha without being fascinated. Why didn't the empress mother understand?

Mingda quietly winked at man Bao, asked her to step back, and then asked, "father, do you really want the emperor's grandmother to go to xuandu temple?"

"If you don't joke, can I go back?"

Yes, yes. The emperor doesn't want face. Just face the Empress Dowager several times. Anyway, the courtiers will certainly stand on the emperor's side this time.

However, after weighing, the emperor decided to fulfill his promise.

After all, the Empress Dowager just wanted to go, and the Emperor didn't want the Empress Dowager to leave with regret.

He thought this was filial piety, but the courtiers obviously did not think so, and many ministers wrote against it.

Even Xiao Yuan sent a rare letter. From the Empress Dowager's pulse to the current weather problem, in short, he strongly opposed the Empress Dowager's travel.

Who's to blame if something happens outside?

The reasons for the opposition of the courtiers are even more complicated.

In fact, many courtiers have opinions on the superstitious behavior of the Empress Dowager in the past six months, but it is because the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and is a dying person, and she uses her own private house and the emperor's private house, so she didn't attack.

But now the Empress Dowager has to drag the sick body out of the palace in person, and the accumulated dissatisfaction of the courtiers broke out.

Even Tang He and Guo county magistrate of Wannian County next door could not resist writing to express their opposition.

It is generally believed that the emperor has to pay half the responsibility for this. Do you think your obedience to the Empress Dowager is filial piety?

If the Empress Dowager is in bad health, as a child, he should do his duty of exhortation. Do you think it is filial piety for the Empress Dowager to give you stars?

wrong!

And it was a big mistake, so the courtiers first sprayed the emperor with filial piety and scriptures, and then talked about their suppressed dissatisfaction during this period of time.

Do you think the superstitious activities carried out by your emperor's family are your own private affairs?

wrong!

The royal family has no private affairs, especially those related to this belief in God and Buddha. As atheists, Wei Zhi and old Tang adults are not only opposed to the Empress Dowager's charity and Daoism in temples and Taoist temples, but also opposed to the emperor's related activities.

They believe that the emperor has to pay considerable responsibility for today's difficulties.

If there is something good in the upper part, there will be much in the lower part. As soon as you touch the upper and lower lips, you will go to the Huguo temple and burn incense in the xuandu temple, but you don't know how many ordinary people flock to the temples and Taoist temples.

As soon as the incense in temples and Taoist temples is strong, more problems will inevitably arise.

Temples and Taoist temples are understaffed. What should we do if we want to recruit people?

People think it's profitable to be a monk and a Taoist. What if they go to be a monk and a Taoist?

What should monks and Taoists do to bully the people?

Have you thought about these questions?

A set of data handed in by county magistrate Tang and county magistrate Guo makes everyone spray more reasonable and justified.

In the first half of this year, because the Empress Dowager set up the relief shed under the Huguo temple and xuandu temple, the criminal acts and various disputes around the Huguo temple and xuandu temple were 60% higher than last year. Even so, the overall crime data of the two counties were nearly 30% higher than last year.

Excluding the impact of last year's drought on this year's, this year's crime data is still ridiculously high.

Guo county magistrate probably didn't think much at first, but Tang he had a special liking for the Ministry of punishment. After research, he found that this had a certain impact on the Empress Dowager's obsession with God and Buddha in the past six months, so he took Guo county magistrate to write a letter together.

The emperor was sprayed badly in an early morning. Finally, he had to tell the Empress Dowager what Zhou man advised on that day, and said that they had all advised, but the Empress Dowager insisted. If you have the ability, go and ask the Empress Dowager to take back his order.

As long as the Empress Dowager says he can't go, he won't go at once.

Courtier:... Who dares to face the Empress Dowager at this time?

However... Wei Zhi raised his head and looked directly at the emperor. His eyes were bright and he asked, "Your Majesty, what Zhou man said is reasonable. Does your majesty believe in God and Buddha, or both?"

The emperor felt that the tianlinggai was a little painful. He remembered that in previous years, as long as he had a reward for the Huguo temple, governor Wei would write a letter to express his opposition.

His back was cold, and he regretted pushing the focus to Zhou man. He didn't expect that the focus was finally pushed to him.

Among the officials, man Bao lowered his head silently and tried to pretend that he didn't exist.
