Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

There was still a bit of humidity in the air, and it didn't take long for it to dissipate completely in the sunny days of half a month.Fresh green spots emerged from the pond, attracting a few dragonflies to play in the water, and the shadows of the trees cast a shade, dancing in the early summer wind.

The wide leaves stretch out and quietly float on the water surface, just like moist and elegant jasper plates, bearing the endless rain, quietly giving birth to delicate flowers on the night of the crescent moon.

In a blink of an eye, the sun was scorching like fire, the green warbler courtyard was singing, the embroidered curtain was hanging down, and the auspicious smoke was rising.The Qinzheng Hall changed into a light green gauze as if it was the occasion, looking very cool, Chu Jun came back from His Royal Highness Zichen, drank a bowl of medicine first, and began to critique papers again.She fell ill a few days ago, and now she has recovered more than half of her body, but she suffered from a cough.That day, as usual, the imperial hospital's diagnosis was delivered, and several cabinet ministers were also present. The imperial physician advised her to rest more. Chu Jundao was fine, but the flood in Chenzhou had not been resolved, and the corruption in Hezhou had not been found out for a while, so I felt in my heart. Ashamed of my ancestors, I dare not relax for a moment.

Several cabinet ministers knelt down to plead guilty, Chu Jun knocked casually, and leisurely admired the ugly faces of the few present. If you want to talk about the Hezhou incident, I'm afraid it has something to do with these few.She has been an emperor for two lifetimes, and she can't understand her nature of helping others very well.When they ascended the throne late in their previous life, this group of people had already become a climate, and it was quite difficult to move.Now that she ascended the throne early, plus she secretly provoked her, and she was beaten everywhere, it was not really a threat, but she had to hint and warn from time to time, so as not to be followed by others.

The emperor's means are like needles hidden in cotton, invisible and intangible.Only when she was stabbed did she realize that she knew everything.The cabinet has lost the right to speak, and has almost become the official office for the selection of memorials for the emperor. The memorials from the six states are sent directly to the imperial court, and they are no longer in the hands of the cabinet. The cabinet has lost its power, but no one dares to speak out.

They really have too many handles in the hands of the emperor, and if they turn over any one of them, they will be imprisoned to death by Yushitai, and no one wants to be the leader.Chu Jun watched several cabinet ministers leave the palace, and then looked away, feeling that it was a pity that she had waited for so many days and was fully prepared, but she still didn't see the 'early bird'.

It was a pity in her heart, she hinted that the imperial hospital did not need to hide the news of the emperor's illness, and it could even be said that the imperial hospital had been tidied up and obeyed, and the court ordered it to go down to work.After Chu Jun made the arrangements, he took some lunch and went to approve the memorial.The incident in Hezhou broke out earlier than before, but the chronic disease should have happened earlier, and this movement is not too big.It's just that Chenzhou is building rivers every year, and there are occasional floods, which only harm that piece of land.It is rare to see something like this, flooding two counties is not enough, it always makes people feel unhappy.The approved papers were rushed out of the palace, Chu Jun rubbed his temples, and coughed for a while before subsiding, so he went to the back hall to rest while the new papers were not sent into the palace.

Liu Zhen lowered the curtain for her and lit some tranquilizing incense. The dazzling light outside dimmed and was divided into several bundles by the bead curtain, which melted into a piece of softness among the jade beads.The palace maid lightly removed the golden hook and let the gauze slide down, and the light disappeared like dissipated rain. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep with a bit of tiredness.

She had a dream.

It rained heavily again, and there was lightning and thunder outside the house. She was keeping a lamp by the table.There were a lot of memorials today, seeing that it was only late at night, the sound of the rain outside the house became quieter, and she heard the sound of the water clock dripping, tick tock, which was very clear in the empty hall.The crane-shaped copper lamps on both sides were about to be used up. A few lamps had been extinguished when she was looking at the booklets, but the palace servants were afraid of disturbing the emperor, so they did not dare to come in to add fuel. When she watched, the hall was already half dark. There are only a few remaining breaths.

This new year is not going well. The frontier defense in Yunzhou is going to be replaced. The Secretary of the Ministry of War has already presented it several times, and the court has discussed it countless times. All the ministers have their own opinions and cannot agree. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

She could see clearly that the court clothes of civil officials were embroidered with birds, and the court clothes of military officials were embroidered with beasts.

She only understood a truth when she was living among the people.The adults at the heights of the temple will never pay attention to the troubles of the humble people. Those decrees that are said to be for the people's livelihood and the community are only to meet the needs of the aristocratic families in order to get better support.The rivers and lakes are far away, and many people's life is like a floating duckweed, ending this life in the bitter wind and rain.

Those sounds are too far away, like mosquitoes and flies flapping their wings, barely audible.There are several volumes of Qing History, which are full of legends, but it is difficult for the unknown to add pen and ink.

Even if you have the common people in the world in your heart, you have great ambitions in your chest.Whether she succeeds or fails, she doesn't want to be a humble person who occasionally turns over at the end of a corner scroll. If her name and surname must be engraved on the Qingshi Danshu, it will be admired by future generations with the bells and drums.

The last copper lamp was extinguished, and a few wisps of blue smoke drifted away with the night wind.

The darkness in the hall invaded like a tide, and the night rain turned into thousands of hectares of waves rolling in. The solitary lamp in the hall was cold, and the candle shadow was colder. She sat on the throne, and only by the dim light in front of the table, a leaf grew in vain. The feeling of a flat boat traveling in the vast sea, the waves are rough, the waves are strong and the wind is high, and there is a possibility of destruction at any time.

"...The sun is at noon, so it is said that the sun is shining and the sky is in the middle of the sky. There is a man of power, and he has the power to control the extreme in his prime. However, he lost his father in his early years and was able to escape the catastrophe of falling. However, his relatives are not close, and he has no descendants. Alone."

The lamp on the table suddenly went out.

"...Life is limited by honor and disgrace, and there must be rest and blame. In the world of loneliness and poverty, everything is mixed. If the deadline comes, it will be like floating bubbles. After the rain falls, it may be difficult to continue."

Chu Jun opened his eyes, his heart beat faster, and his temples throbbed.Liu Zhen pulled up the curtain and handed out a soft handkerchief. She felt itchy in her throat, covered her mouth and coughed a few more times. There were scarlet spots on the white handkerchief. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly to signal Liu Zhen not to panic.

Liu Zhen felt tense, supported her and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to call the imperial physician—"

"This is a stubborn disease brought out of the womb. The imperial doctor also saw it and said that it can only be treated slowly." Chu Jun wiped the corners of his mouth, picked up the cup to rinse his mouth, lowered his eyes and smiled lowly: "It's been so long , I won’t die for a while.”

She stood up and stretched out her sleeves, the ring around her waist jingled.The red imperial clothes brushed over the clean golden bricks, revealing a blurry figure.She turned her head away, not to look at the soft handkerchief, walked out from the apse, stood in front of the window and looked at the sky, only to see the scorching sun, golden lights all over the land;

Just when Hengzhou ushered in the splendid midsummer, a small boat sailed into the territory of Chenzhou.Spring | Light seems to have never left, and stays nostalgic on this land.Looking up, there are cliffs on both sides of the bank, green vines and verdant vines. What you see is a blend of greenery, and there is cool and moist water vapor in your breath, which washes away the depression in your chest and is refreshing.

Sitting in the cabin was a commoner woman, who was very beautiful, and was leaning on the small table to read a book.She read very intently, holding a page between her slender and white fingers, her eyes moved to the end of the page calmly amidst the turbulence, she didn't even notice that Li Yan came in from the outside for a long time, Li Yan called out to Mr. She didn't answer, so she stood aside with a bit of a smile, and glanced at what book she was reading.

It's actually another legendary storybook, which one is this?

Li Yan was full of doubts, but she didn't know where to get it out. After all, the cabin was small, she hesitated for a moment, saluted and backed out.

Since arriving in Chenzhou, Jin Huan, a servant of the Ministry of Industry, went to Yunzhong County to survey the river because of other official duties, and then parted ways. After her affairs were over, she and Qingping went to Qiannan County to meet and discuss rebuilding the Taimiao. one thing.

However, rebuilding the Ancestral Temple itself is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry is just a helper. The choice of auspicious places and how to choose them are all matters of the Ministry of Rites in the final analysis.When Qingping finally chose the place, he and Jinhuan jointly signed the booklet and waited for the emperor's approval, and then he had to wait for Qin Tianjian to choose a good day and auspicious day before he could enclose the land.

The most important thing among these is the selection of the site, and Feng Shui is stressful everywhere.Qingping picked up a few legendary storybooks to pass the time when he had nothing to do, and took a look at what anecdotes happened in Chenzhou this year.

The customs and customs of each state are very different, and the stories circulated are also different.People in Chenzhou believe in the dragon girl and overhaul temples in order to obtain the protection of the gods.There are many sects, and the people are addicted to cultivating immortals and alchemy, gathering people to discuss Taoism and practice, resulting in the barren land.What's more, the whole family threw themselves into the temple and enshrined all their property to the elders of the temple. This kind of absurd scene still exists today, and it has never been cut off.Due to the "Hongbo Rebellion" a hundred years ago, some temples were ordered to be closed down by the imperial court and treated as prostitution temples.The government forced all the believers into the temple to go back to their homes and go back to production. Almost half of the Chenzhou Temple was destroyed, and the once majestic temple was almost gone.

Although I don't know where the atmosphere of seeking immortals and asking questions in Chenzhou came from, there are endless stories in the scriptures about going to Beijing to catch the exam and passing through the mountains and being enlightened by hermits. Qingping thinks the most interesting is the story of those people. As for the whereabouts, since he was enlightened to practice, where he went is not detailed in the book, so he has no way of knowing.

The story had come to an end, she closed the book, the boat suddenly shook, the teacup on the small table fell over, Qingping stretched out his hand to help it up, there was another violent jolt, the cup slipped out of her hand, fell to the ground and split into several pieces.

Li Yan lifted the curtain and entered, "My lord, something happened outside—"

Qingping put the book back and said: "What's the matter, let's go out and have a look first."

She went out of the cabin, and on the deck, the boatman was leading a few men to kowtow to their heads with a copper pot of burning paper, muttering something.Qingping looked in the direction where she was kneeling, and there was a dilapidated temple on the steep cliff, most of which was covered by ivy. Qingping squinted his eyes for a while, only to find that the temple had no door or window, and painted on the wall The black pattern, which has never been seen before, looks a little weird in the silent valley.

The guests in the boat all looked up at this moment, and seeing this situation, they immediately retreated into the cabin.

Li Yan said: "My lord, how about I inquire about it?"

Qingping tilted his head and said softly: "Don't go, just wait and see, what did the boat hit and why is it so bumpy?"

The guards who were resting in the cabin before also came out at this time, Qing Ping waved his hand, motioning them to retreat, only taking Li Yan slowly approached the edge of the deck.But seeing that the current here is stable, not as fast as before, the water is very clear in the sun, a few small silver fish are swimming around, and the boat has reached the exit of the waterway, almost an open water area can be seen.

She took a few steps forward, and finally saw something in the water——

It was a stone statue of a god, its whole body was pitch-black, submerged in the water, holding a magic weapon in its hand, its head was facing down, and it sank into the sand at the bottom of the water.

Presumably the person at the helm didn't expect such a thing to appear under the water. The flood in Chenzhou earlier probably washed out the submerged god statue, but now that the torrent subsides, most of the god statue has emerged from the mud It was revealed that today the bow of the boat just hit the base of the statue, but turned the statue over, and the upper part came out of the sand.

I don't know what age the god statue is, and the carving is not a common style in this dynasty, but the faint smile on the face is indescribably deceitful.
