"Zither musician Xuan? Xuan Yunlan? I heard that she was a zither musician in the Quiet Cloud Pavilion. Not only was she skilled, but she was also the top person in Shili Ling Xiangding. I heard that she was extremely beautiful, alluring and charming, the best. "
"I heard of her! I heard of her! Two years ago when the ruler took over the throne, he fell for her beauty. As a result, there was that absurd government order that completely sealed off the entire Shili Ling Xiangding, just for her. Only after Zither musician Xuan went up the mountain to recommend herself did he build a city. He gave those pitiful girls a place to stay. Sigh, sigh! "
Li Zhile's brows rose up, thinking to himself that he was indeed a licentious ruler. So when he took over the throne, he already had a record. So this Shili Ling Xiangding was abandoned because of that.
Speaking of which, two years ago wasn't that monster king only 14 years old? What a beast!
His ears perked up as Li Zhile listened carefully. Only to hear someone open their mouth to speak, "The ruler is indeed lecherous! I heard that beside him at all times there was a girl called Zhao Yanran. I heard that she was also a beauty, ice skin jade bones. Her skin was like mutton fat. Her beauty was even better than Zither musician Xuan. Who knows where the ruler snatched her from … "
"… Si! There was actually such a thing? Her skin was like cream, how smooth and snow-white would it be? The ruler really has luck with women! "
Li Zhile was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. He was furious while thinking to himself, why wasn't that person him?
"Sigh, the ruler is so young and is charmed by beauty. This year he didn't deal with political matters, this isn't a blessing for our country. "
"After all, she is the governor commander of the central dynasty. Is it appropriate to forcefully take her in as a concubine?"
"The heavens are high and the emperor is far away, what are you afraid of?"
"No wonder recently there are some resources in short supply on the market. The ruler is probably preparing to take in a concubine, right?
"Hehe! I have heard of this matter before but it is another way of saying it. It isn't that the ruler wants to forcefully take that female governor commander as a concubine. It is that she has her eyes on the ruler's talents. That day when she couldn't snatch him, she was willing to give herself to him … "
Li Zhile's eyes were slightly red. He couldn't bear it anymore and slammed his palm on the table.
True Qi exploded out, instantly smashing the wooden table into smithereens with a "hong" sound.
It also caused the entire restaurant to become silent and quiet. The surrounding gazes were all focused on this side, filled with astonishment.
Li Zhile also coldly glanced around. He wanted to flare up at these people, but he knew that most of the people in this restaurant were ignorant commoners.
With a cold snort, he threw down a gold cake as compensation and strode out of the tavern.
The silver-armored knight followed behind and advised anxiously, "Commander, it's better to consider this matter at length. Don't be rash! I think we should first report this to Jingdou. The Ministry of War and the marshals have their own plans. Governor Commander is someone in the emperor's heart, his majesty definitely won't let Gantian Mountain off … "
Li Zhile didn't say anything. He took a few deep breaths to calm his mind down.
In the next instant, he looked at the sky in astonishment. Snowflakes fluttered down from the sky.
Is it snowing? Snow in June, how is that possible?
Li Zhile's expression immediately turned gloomy, revealing a bit of sadness.
Thinking to himself, does the heavens know what I am thinking about? Within his heart, it was as cold as snow.
※ ※ ※
Taishang Empire Imperial Capital, Imperial Capital. At this moment, it was also snowing heavily. The buildings on the ground were covered in 2 feet of snow, dyeing the entire Imperial Capital white.
Within the Fenghua Palace Administration Hall, the yellow-robed old man didn't deal with administrative matters. Instead, he walked out of the building and stood on the walkway under the roof, looking at the snow scenery outside. Only to see that the entire imperial garden was white. The various colored flowers that were originally blooming now looked like flowers carved out of snow, giving off a moving scenery.
"Snow in June …"
The old man didn't have the heart to admire it. Instead, his brows furrowed tightly, "What grievances did the heavens sense under my rule?"
The one standing beside him was the internal affairs junior supervisor Gaoruo. When he heard those words, he was instinctively shocked. Then, he smiled and replied, "How is that possible? Your Majesty has been working hard these few years, pulling out many nobles to stand in the imperial court. In terms of governance, apart from Taizong and Taizu, our Taishang Dynasty is no better than your Majesty in these few years. The few officials in the Imperial Court, Censorate, and Ministry of Justice are all famous Confucians. How can there be any grievances? Didn't the Grand Tutor send someone to send a message? He said that this sign has nothing to do with our Taishang. It seems like the source of our Cloud World was disturbed which caused the weather to change. As for the details, he is still investigating … "
The Emperor robed old man's face was still dark and sunken. He didn't feel at ease because of Gaoruo's consolation.
"The snow is 2 feet high. If this continues, it is going to become a snow disaster. I am afraid that the people of the country will have no harvest this year. "
Gaoruo was startled. Then, his face was filled with gratitude.
"Your Majesty, our Taishang Dynasty has had surplus over the years since you took over. The granary is rich, the country has accumulated grain for 3 years, saving billions of dollars. Even if there is a snow disaster, we can easily deal with it and have enough money to send disaster relief. Your Majesty doesn't forget about the people and is a virtuous Ruler. If those people know about it, they will respect you even more. "
"Virtuous?"
The old man mocked himself as he looked at his palm. A ball of energy rose up from within, showing a golden color.
The emperor path secret technique of the Taishang Dynasty was known as the Dragon Emperor Nine Imperial Technique, which had 12 grades. He was also the 2nd person in the Taishang Dynasty to cultivate this technique to the 12th grade. His cultivation was so deep that it even exceeded that of the Taizu when he was alive.
Even a Deity Realm expert would have to bow down before him!
He was also praised as the ruler of the Taishang Dynasty and was the Saint Ruler.
During these years, he had indeed gone all out to turn the tides, working hard to rule and not slacking off at all. After the teen ascended, he gritted his teeth and finally fixed the leaking ship of the Taishang Dynasty bit by bit.
Even then, the old man knew that he was far from being a Saint Ruler.
He was far from those so-called Saint Emperors of the ancient era.
Although he couldn't see it, he knew that there were many other colors within the emperor path energy that he gathered. It was stronger than his ancestors, but there was a limit to it.
He had even seen regret in the eyes of the Grand Preceptor and the Reverends who possessed supernatural abilities several times.
"Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, you taught me in the past to be a Ruler, to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be kind. Stay away from people and be close to people. To believe in the Confucian way of ruling the country, to be diligent, to empathize with the people, to be light on labor and taxes. If you say that if you give good gifts, then the people won't dare to be disrespectful; if you give good righteousness, then the people won't dare to be ungrateful; if you give good faith, then the people won't dare to be ungrateful. I asked myself, I have done all of these. However, why is it that in the eyes of the Heavenly Path, I am just a mediocre Ruler? Why is the fate of this Taishang still shaking? Was I wrong, or was the Confucian Path wrong? "
The old man's eyes were sinister, and his expression gradually became stern. He clenched his fists and only to hear a low "peng" sound.
In that instance, a million feet of land in front of the Emperor Robed Old Man. Snow and dust flew about, all the flowers and leaves were turned into dust.
When Junior Supervisor Gao Ruo saw that, his eyes constricted, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. However, he didn't dare to walk away. Instead, he bowed, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The old man was like he was in a demon mode, his expression was vicious. When he heard Gao Ruo's words, he instantly came back to his senses and calmed down.
"Get up! I lost my composure! "
He waved his sleeves and it seemed like the snow had slowly stopped. The Emperor Robed Old Man calmed down and didn't want to stay here any longer. Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the pavilion, he saw several broken corpses lying at the side of the messy imperial garden.
There were some blood marks within the snow and dust that floated about in the garden. It seemed like their bodies were totally shattered.
The Old Man frowned and didn't bother. Eunuchs, they were just servants of the Son of Heaven. If they died, then they died.
"Let people bury them. The families of the dead need to be compensated."
Dealing with them like this was already a huge kindness.
After casually giving an order, the old man walked into the pavilion on his own. He saw that there were dozens of golden memorials. They were floating beside the windows on both sides.
Gao Ruo didn't wait for him to instruct and took them over one by one. Just as he was about to sit on the table, he saw the Old Man wave his hand tiredly.
Gao Ruo instantly understood, flipping open one of the books. Just one look and his expression was really weird. Following which he hurriedly opened the next one. His expression was even weirder.
At this moment, the Old Man noticed that Gao Ruo's expression was weird. His brows rose, his tone was really calm, "Why aren't you reading out these memorials?"
Gao Ruo didn't reply, flipping open a few more memorials. Until the Old Man's eyes were filled with impatience. Only then did he bow and reply, "Your majesty, the contents of these memorials are the same. Within our Taishang, dozens of states all had heavy snow at the same time. Not only our Taishang, the other regions of the central continent, the 4 continents and 12 islands all had heavy snow. Even the 10 shrines, 19 spiritual houses, and even the 5 vast habitats were no exception … "
When the Emperor robed old man heard that, he was stunned, his face filled with confusion.
Forget about the 5 continents and 12 islands. However, these shrines, spiritual houses, and even vast habitats were all half independent of heaven and earth. Why would there be heavy snow?
Although the Grand Teacher said that it wouldn't affect the fate of the country, how could he not be worried?
Just as he was deep in thought, Gao Ruo flipped to another memorial. His pupils constricted as he said, "Your Majesty, today in the Jianan Cave, Two World Mountain Ming Miao Temple, White Horse Temple, Xiangguo Temple and many other Buddhist temples. Like the Primordial Buddha, Horizontal Three World Buddha, Vertical Three World Buddha, Vairocana Buddha, etc., all shook and gave off a bright light. It was said that the north wall of all the temples collapsed, without an exception. "
The Old Man was startled, a moment later he calmed down, "So this change has something to do with the Buddhists?"
The servant who was sitting quietly at the side had already started to write silently at this moment. On the diary, he wrote, 'On the thirteenth day of the sixth lunar month in the twenty-seventh year of the Yuancheng calendar, there was a heavy snowfall in the imperial capital. His Majesty was worried that the heavy snow would cause a disaster and actually forgot himself. When the snow stopped, I heard about the heavy snow in the cloud world, the changes in the temples, your majesty calmed down. " (To be continued.
