Datang romantic little landlord

Li Wangyou was also speechless, he put his hands on his forehead and felt a headache.
This old rascal, Cheng Yaojin, after hearing Li Wangyou talk about how he used the duck god to fool the farmers, actually used Li Wangyou's excuse to fool the farmers, and came to the court meeting to block the mouths of the powerful family, he is shameless enough.
But what the duck god said, although it is a bit rascal, it is also effective.
At least the ministers of these aristocratic families couldn't think of how to refute the words of the old rascal.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Yuanshou, the patriarch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, couldn't bear it any longer and stood up to go out.
He bowed to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, locusts are natural disasters. How can manpower eliminate them? Besides, killing too many insects will harm the peace of heaven. Only by cultivating virtue can we eliminate natural disasters. Please think twice, Your Majesty, for all people. Think about it."
Zheng Yuanshou's words were extremely vicious, but he didn't mention any crimes against himself, nor did he mention that the plague of locusts was caused by Li Er.
But the meaning inside and outside the words, they all pointed the cause of the locust disaster at Li Er, and asked Li Er to cultivate virtue to destroy the locusts. Doesn't that mean that Li Er is wicked?
Seeing that Zheng Yuanshou came forward, those ministers who were arguing with Cheng Yaojin immediately found the right direction, no longer entangled with Cheng Yaojin, and all bowed to Li Er: "Your Majesty, please think twice and think about the people!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice and think about the people!"
Under the leadership of Zheng Yuanshou, hundreds of ministers who came to participate in the Shuowang court attendance, almost half of them got up, and they all spoke in unison, putting pressure on Li Erbigong who was sitting on the throne.
Undoubtedly, these ministers were all members of aristocratic families headed by Wu Xing Qi Wang, and Li Wangyou couldn't help but click his tongue a little.
No wonder Li Er didn't dare to forcibly issue an order to exterminate the locusts. Half of the people in the court were officials from aristocratic families.
Faced with the pressure of many ministers, Li Er's face became more and more gloomy, but he did not speak.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and those officials who came out to force the palace also remained silent, stubbornly fighting Li Er silently.
The chaohui hall, which was extremely noisy just now, immediately fell silent.
In the midst of the stalemate, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came out and bowed to Li Er: "Your Majesty, the locust plague is a natural disaster, and I invite you to hold the Luotian Dajiao to pray for the blessings of all the people in the world and for the great Tang society. "
Li Er immediately nodded: "Zi Ke!"
Restriction is the emperor's edict, which means that the emperor agrees.
The servant under the door immediately said: "There is a system!"
This meant that the imperial decree was to be read out, and the officials of the aristocratic families could only silence at this time, and all officials bowed down.
"Pray for the blessings of the people by holding the Luotian Dajiao!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the officials in the hall could react, the servants began to deliver the decree loudly, "Pray for the blessings of the people!"
As the servants in the palace shouted the decree, many Taoist priests, including Yuan Tiangang, who had been waiting for a long time outside the Taiji Palace, immediately filed in. Under the surprised eyes of the officials, they began to build altars, preparing to worship the gods of heaven and earth.
Li Wangyou just rolled his eyes from the side, Nima, Fang Xuanling and Li Er's play is not distracting at all!
You need to study hard, Stanislavsky's "The Actor's Self-cultivation"!
228 strange sound
Fang Xuanling asked for Luo Tianjiao, and Li Er immediately agreed, followed by Yuan Tiangang and the others... This is simply telling others that you have premeditated.
It's too careless, Li Wangyou is very disdainful for acting so perfunctorily.
However, this sudden change also surprised Zheng Yuanshou and other aristocratic families. No one expected that Li Er would do such a trick when the officials forced the palace at the court meeting.
And they still couldn't say anything to stop it. After all, Li Er was going to hold the Luo Tian Dajiao to eliminate the locust plague and pray to the heavens. Who could say no to this matter?
Li Er didn't care what Zheng Yuanshou and the others thought, and announced the suspension of Shuo Wang's court attendance, walked down from the throne, and led the ministers to the outside of the hall.
Zheng Yuanshou and other ministers from aristocratic families could only look at each other, and followed them out of the main hall of Tai Chi Palace.
In the eyes of Zheng Yuanshou and others, what Li Er wanted to do was just delaying time.They also made up their minds that they must take advantage of today's Great Court Meeting to force Li Er to bow his head.
After Luo Tian Dajiao's ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven is completed, the Grand Court Meeting will have to continue. Let's see how Li Er will respond then!
Outside the Taiji Palace, there is a large square with drum towers and bell towers on the left and right sides of the square.The Luotian Dajiao to pray for the locust plague was held on the square in front of the Taiji Palace.
Yuan Tiangang wore a brand-new purple cassock with various auspicious patterns of Taoism embroidered with gold and silver threads, and walked in the forefront of Taoist priests with a solemn expression.
The Taoist robes in the Tang and Song Dynasties were not the yellow Taoist robes seen in later TV dramas, but the allusion of "the purple air coming from the east" when the ancestor Laozi rode a bull out of customs, so Taoism advocates purple Taoist robes.
Behind Yuan Tiangang is the abbot of 58 Taoist temples in Chang'an City, also wearing purple cassock.
Then there are hundreds of Taoist priests in 58 Taoist temples, some holding gods, some holding banners, and some holding different magic tools, singing ancient tunes.
In fact, the official Luotian Dajiao is very complicated, and the whole ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven takes several days.
But whether it is Li Er or Li Wangyou, their fundamental purpose is not to worship the sky itself, so today's Luo Tian Dajiao in front of the Tai Chi Palace is actually a simplified version of the ceremony.
A group of Taoist priests quickly set up the altar and enshrined [-] gods tablets. In the middle of the altar is a gilded bronze statue of Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu.
Standing among the officials, Li Jing felt that the statue on the altar looked very familiar.No matter how you look at it, it looks like the statue that Li Wangyou held in his arms when he was outside Xuandu that day.
However, he didn't think too much about it, thinking that it might just be that Li Wangyou invited the statue home to worship for a few days, which is not surprising.
Yuan Tiangang is the chief priest of today's Luotian Dajiao, that is, the high-level deacon of the sacrificial altar.
He stepped on the gangster, fought, chanted mantras, and under the chanting of a group of Taoist priests, he burned incense, opened the altar, asked for water, raised the banner, announced the list, and defiled...
After doing a series of scientific procedures, in Li Wangyou's view, it is really professional.
Well, for a good young man like Li Wangyou who was born in New China and grew up under the red flag, he doesn't believe in any religion at all.Yuan Tiangang's dazzling operation, in his opinion, is an old liar with professionalism.
However, in the eyes of Li Er and other officials, Yuan Tiangang is "following Jing Feichen, inheriting Yan Xuande, benefiting Zhou Zhoujie, and courting all officials", with a godlike air...
The simplified version of Luo Tian Dajiao soon reached the step of "inviting the saint". Yuan Tiangang, who was stepping on the steps and chanting mantras, couldn't help but stealthily look in the direction of the officials, wanting to see Li Wang Where is the worry.
At this time, Li Er also turned his head to look for Li Wangyou, because Li Wangyou had patted his chest to assure him that the Taoist ancestors would show their holiness at the Luotian Dajiao, and personally dispel the saying that the plague of locusts is the punishment of God.
Now that the "Invitation to the Holy Spirit" ceremony begins, both Li Er and Yuan Tiangang, who presides over the ceremony, are in a state of turmoil in their hearts, and they don't understand how this Taoist ancestor will "appear holy".
However, Li Er turned his head frequently, but he didn't see Li Wangyou among the hundreds of ministers behind him.
Li Er was anxious, he stretched out his hand to beckon the servant beside him, and gave a few instructions in a low voice, telling them to find Li Wangyou, a man from Hu County.
This bastard boy, if he is played with, Li Er will go crazy.
Li Er's actions made Fang Xuanling and the others who didn't know the inside story a little puzzled, His Majesty keeps turning around, what are you looking for?
But Zheng Yuanshou and the other patriarchs of the aristocratic families watched coldly from the sidelines, sneering endlessly in their hearts.
They felt that Li Er was too naive, so what if he did such a great sacrifice?
This group of old foxes also somewhat guessed the intentions of Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others at this time.
