Chapter 279 Thunder Rolling(2/3)
But now he finally realized it.
Feelings are what Zhang Zhou does. No matter whether it is right or wrong, or whether it is justified or not, the emperor will support him.
This is simply unreasonable.
"Rumble...wow..."
Outside the hall, thunder rolled and heavy rain poured down.
This time, everyone in the hall couldn't think about Ma Zhongxi and Ma Yi. They were all thinking, since I know it might rain today, why didn't I bring rain gear?
If the rain doesn't stop after the court meeting is dismissed, will we all be drowned?
…
…
"Your Majesty, it's raining."
Dai Yi happily told the emperor the good news, but in fact he didn't need to say it, everyone present was not deaf, and the sound of rain had almost covered up the voices.
Immediately, the palace guards quickly closed the palace door.
In this way, the hall became a little quieter.
Zhu Youtang squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the door, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't know if it will rain in Xuanfu today."
The ministers present did not know what to say.
If you mention Ma Zhongxi's participation in the impeachment of Ma Yi again, you are going against the emperor.
If you take the opportunity to attack Zhang Zhou... that would be even worse. It is estimated that the emperor may directly come to punish him. It is not impossible to beat the mountain with a cane on the spot to shock the tiger.
"If there's nothing important, let's just stop here today."
Zhu Youtang suddenly said something.
When the ministers present heard this, they all shouted in their hearts, "No, we still want to have a friendly exchange with Your Majesty."
If we don't communicate, then we will have close contact with the heavy rain after we go out. We old bones may not be able to withstand the baptism of rain several times. Who will deal with the affairs after we get sick when we go back? Do you expect Zhang Bingkuan to be alone? ?
"Prepare umbrellas and everything."
Zhu Youtang is not the kind of person who is unkind. Even if the minister gave him some trouble today, he still didn't want to see the minister get wet in the rain.
Then Zhu Youtang stood up, the monarch and his ministers completed the final ceremony, and then Zhu Youtang left first.
As for Ma Yi's case... there is no need to discuss it anymore. Anyway, the emperor has given Zhang Zhou the authority to discuss the crime... Ma Zhongxi can only stare.
…
…
"Is this really...a leak in the house just happened to rain all night?"
The ministers took over their rain gear and left Fengtian Hall in no hurry. Many people gathered at the door.
Xie Qian used his long-tongued nature again, and his pastime was clearly saying... It was already leaking, that is, we were already very worried about Zhang Zhou, but there were always people who had things to involve him and made us suffer from him. gas.
Xu Qiong walked out of the threshold of Fengtian Hall holding an umbrella and said: "Didn't Your Majesty say it clearly? Today, we are not praying for rain in the capital, but in Xuanfu. Who knows whether it will rain in Xuanfu?"
Zhang Mao had already walked out a few steps, then turned back, looked at the people present with a smile and said: "If it didn't rain that night, what does it have to do with whether the house leaks or not?"
"Mr. British, what do you mean by this?"
Everyone was very dissatisfied after hearing this.
"hehe."
Zhang Mao seemed to be a leisurely man, holding up his umbrella and striding away.
"Rumble..."
The lightning and thunder continued, which made the civil servants present feel very uncomfortable.
Bai Ang asked: "What does this mean?"
Xie Qian glanced at him and said, "Don't you understand? If you weren't sure that it would rain in Xuanfu today, would you be as anxious as you are now?"
Everyone couldn't help but look ashamed after hearing this.
But it's just as Zhang Mao said, if they didn't feel that Zhang Zhou's magical power was "Yu Yu" in their hearts, the civil servants present would not have mixed feelings because of Zhang Zhou's prophecy.
Li Dongyang naturally felt that Xie Qian was trying to encourage other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige, so he stopped and said: "Yu Qiao, this is inappropriate."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Even I...I agree in my heart that it will most likely rain in Xuanfu today!"
Xie Qian had a bad temper and looked ashamed and angry.
It seemed that he was mocking the civil servants present, but in fact he was also angry with himself.
Zhang Zhou was able to rely on God's will. Whether it was praying for rain or Zhang Zhou was sure that it would rain that day, it was just such a coincidence.
I want to thank someone and want to change, to bring things right out of chaos so that His Majesty can respect us again, but there is nothing I can do about it!
What to do?
Besides lamenting to God, is there any other way?
…
…
It was raining in the capital city of Ming Dynasty that day.
Rainy days tend to make people feel anxious, but because of what happened in the imperial court, every one of the civil servants seemed to have a gloomy mood when they left the palace.
No matter what they think in their hearts, at least everyone's face should show the sadness of mourning their concubine when they go out.
I hate that God has no control over me, and I hate that I am unable to change it.
But at this time, in front of the rain praying altar set up at the gate of Xuan Mansion, the soldiers and civilians who were watching seemed to be watching the fun.
The weather in Xuanfu that day...it was a clear sky.
Ma Zhongxi originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. No matter if it rained that day, could it mean that if it rained that day, God would be on Zhang Zhou's side? If it rained, could a corrupt official be spared the crime?
Stop fooling people with God’s will.
But when he got up in the morning and saw the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, he still went out of the city to the altar in person.
The commander-in-chief Zhu Hui had to stick to his post that day and could not leave the city, but the two deputy commander-in-chiefs, Ma Yi and Zhang Heling, were both in front of the altar. However, Ma Yi was guarded by guards in brocade clothes. This probably means that without Zhang Zhou's instructions, who would
You can't order anyone to be arrested.
So Ma Yi looked much tougher. When he saw Ma Zhongxi arriving, he didn't look away, but had a look of hatred on his face.
He felt that Ma Zhongxi was deliberately targeting him.
Is there any general in the northwest who is not greedy? Why target me? Am I easy to bully or something?
My back is against the big tree Zhang Zhou, and it's very cool. If you, Ma Zhongxi, are able to come up and get me, I'll cause trouble to see if you can put an end to it!
"Why hasn't Zhang Zhou come yet? Do you want to act based on the weather, don't you dare to come?"
Ma Zhongxi went to the altar and sternly questioned Zhang Lun and others who were setting up the altar.
Zhang Heling was sitting on a chair, and someone had already opened a canopy for him next to him. He hid in a low place and drank tea. Hearing this, he said in a mocking tone: "It seems that some people don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has. Come on."
Is this looking for humiliation?"
Ma Zhongxi spread out the fan he was holding and said sternly: "Marquis Shouning, what do you mean?"
"Ha ha."
Zhang Heling also had a fan here, a small folding fan. He pointed the fan at Ma Zhongxi and said with a smile, "I told him, but he is still stubborn? Are all the officials in the northwest ignorant? I don't know what Master Zhang Xian is good at? Don't
It’s said that it rains all the time in the summer, but even if it snows all the way in June, there’s nothing surprising about it.”
"ah?"
Many people present couldn't help but talk after hearing Zhang Heling's words.
Although Zhang Zhou cured plagues, predicted palace fires, and assisted Wang Yue and Zhu Feng in winning great victories in border towns, it is no longer a secret in the northwest, but Zhang Zhou's ability to call upon the wind and rain... This is too evil, and there is no evidence to prove that he ordered Qingning Palace to do so.
The lightning that caused the fire was attracted by Zhang Zhou.
As for whether Zhang Zhou really has that ability... humans are not gods.
Even ordinary people think this is a bit weird and not very credible.
There have been many superstitious people since ancient times, but they basically adhere to the principle of "seeing is believing". Even if you say that you are a god, you have to let people see it with their own eyes.
Just talking.
Zhang Zhou came on horseback.
Beside Zhang Zhou, there were also Tang Yin, Xu Jing and others who had rushed over last night.
Originally, Zhang Zhou did not want to see Xu Jing, but now Xu Jing came to the northwest to find trouble for himself, and since he was someone close to Tang Yin, Zhang Zhou let him follow him.
"Everyone, you are here early enough. Have you had breakfast? Lao Ma, are you here too?"
Zhang Zhou jumped off the horse and seemed to be talking to Ma Zhongxi, but what he was looking at was the horse pulling behind Ma Zhongxi.
