Chapter 588

There was a storm outside the palace, but the main hall was a scene of joy and harmony, ignoring the words of the Dong Ying people.

Yu Shu's heavy rain could be said to have taken advantage of the right time, the right place, and the right people. The right time was the face of God, the right place was the rare occasion of the Land and Water Conference, and the right people was the desire of Emperor Zhao Qing.

With the True Dragon Command in hand, she could call the wind and summon the rain. First, she could solve the predicament of the Celestial Commissioner and restore the reputation of the Da An Yi Master. Second, she could suppress the limelight of the Dong Ying Onmyoji's resurrection. Third, she could make the Emperor so happy that he actually led the officials out to welcome the rain.

Yu Shu's' wise ruler 'entered Emperor Zhao Qing's heart. Since ancient times, what did emperors want in life? They only wanted peace and prosperity for their descendants. And a wise ruler was not a self-proclaimed title. There was no stronger proof than the will of Heaven.

Today, the Land and Water Conference, the foreign countries paying tribute, the female Celestial Commissioner holding the Emperor's Command to summon the rain, the blessing from Heaven would definitely be recorded in the Da An Historical Records.

.....

Back in the hall, everyone returned to their positions. Emperor Zhao Qing's face was flushed with excitement. He pointed at Yu Shu and said to the officials, "This woman is an extraordinary person!"

Everyone praised her.

Yu Shu knew that it was impossible for her to be humble after showing off her abilities. However, there was an important point that still needed to be reviewed, "Your Majesty is too kind. This official's ability to call the wind and summon the rain can only be used by a wise ruler. This is the will of Heaven."

She had done everything she could. As long as she could make the Emperor happy, she would not have to worry about fame and fortune.

Since Yu Shu had started the conversation, a group of officials naturally followed up. They sang praises and flattered the Emperor. Who didn't know how to do it?

Even the foreign envoys expressed their allegiance again and again.

"Hahaha!" Emperor Zhao Qing laughed heartily.

In such a situation, among the Celestial Commissioner's side, someone looked at Yu Shu with a deeper meaning.

Yu Shu didn't notice it at all. She waited until Emperor Zhao Qing was happy enough before she turned the spearhead and pointed it at the Dongying people whose faces were stiff and unsociable.

"Your Majesty, this official has something to ask the Dong Ying people."

Only then did Emperor Zhao Qing remember the annoying Wei Nation man. His smile faded a little and he raised his hand to give her permission.

Yu Shu pointed at the half-extinguished incense stick in the incense burner and asked Yamada Jiro, "Lord Yamada, how does my rain compare to the Onmyoji from yesterday?"

Many people laughed in a low voice. Wasn't it obvious? Yesterday's drizzle, compared to the lightning and thunder outside, was almost the same as the sky accidentally sneezing.

There was a saying that people would die if they compared themselves to each other, and goods would be thrown if they compared themselves to each other.

Yamada Jiro was infuriated. These Da An people were cunning. They clearly had such a powerful person, but they hid it well, making him completely unprepared.

"Sir, you are very capable," he replied reluctantly. He glanced at Abe Kui, who was sitting beside him in a daze, and had an idea. "I wonder if you can summon the wind and rain, but do you also know the Resurrection Spell?"

That's right, they also had the Resurrection Technique, but these Da An people definitely didn't know it.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shu laughed. Before she could speak, someone in the seats behind her said loudly, "Master Yu of our Imperial Astronomer, although she can't bring the dead back to life, she can determine life and death. Can the Onmyojis of Nihon do that?"

The one who spoke was Xin Ya, who had always found him an eyesore.

"Sever Life and Death?" Yamada Jiro looked confused. It was obvious that he did not know the realm of the Great An Yi Master.

Yu Shu kindly told him, "I can't bring the dead back to life, but I can tell when a living person will die. Do you need me to tell your fortune? Yu Shu kindly told him, "I can't bring the dead back to life, but I can tell when a living person will die. Lord Yamada, do you need me to tell your fortune?

Yu Shu told him, "I can't bring the dead back to life, but I can tell when a living person will die. Do you need me to tell your fortune?"

Yamada Jiro nodded and shook his head. He said, "Even if you can predict when a person will die, it can't be compared to bringing the dead back to life. Our Da An Yang Masters are better."

Someone hissed. Obviously, they didn't agree. Someone said, "You need to take someone's life to bring the dead back to life. It's not the right way. If you don't take someone's life, you'd be better off dead."

Seeing that Emperor Zhao Qing was in a good mood, Kong Qi, who didn't agree to the exchange yesterday, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, these two Da An Yang Masters are not good. Firstly, we have people with extraordinary talents. Secondly, bringing the dead back to life is harmful. If news of it spreads among the people, it will cause them to panic. Let's drop the previous proposal."

Everyone agreed.

Yu Shu let out a sigh of relief. She thought that this scholar wasn't useless.

Emperor Zhao Qing wasn't stupid. Although bringing the dead back to life was magical, there was only one way to live. If he kept them, people would criticize him sooner or later.

So he hesitated for a while and said to Yamada Jiro, "We Da An Yang Masters are not inferior to your Da An Yang Masters. I don't want them."

What he meant was, I have a better one. I don't want you.

Yamada Jiro was so angry that his mouth was almost crooked. His plan was ruined. How was he going to explain when he returned?

"Your Majesty, a king doesn't go back on his words." In a moment of desperation, he didn't care much and knelt down. "Your Majesty promised yesterday that you will give the island to a small country after seeing the technique of bringing the dead back to life. Are you going back on your words?"

Emperor Zhao Qing's face turned cold.

Yu Shu's eyes flashed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a clear voice from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, a king doesn't go back on his words. But you have to be able to bring the dead back to life."

Everyone in the hall turned around. Yu Shu turned around and saw a person wearing a green and black robe and a square hat striding in. It was Second Young Master Zhu.

Zhu Muzhao looked at his only son who arrived in time. A smile appeared on his calm face.

"This subject has offended you. Your Majesty, please punish me." Zhu Qingjue went forward and knelt down. As he lowered his head, he stared at Yu Shu strangely.

Emperor Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Da Dian. He didn't blame Zhu Qingjue for barging in. He raised his hand and signaled him to stand up.

"Zhu Erlang, why aren't you on duty at the Imperial Hospital at this time? Why did you come to Fengqing Palace?" From Emperor Zhao Qing's tone, it was obvious that they were close.

Zhu Qingjue stood up and stood beside Yu Shu. He said, "This subject has something to report."

"Permission granted."

Zhu Qingjue immediately took out two items from his sleeve pocket. One was a white candle, and the other was a paper bag.

"These two items were used by a Onmyoji from Dong Ying to bring the dead back to life. As everyone knows, this subject is the direct disciple of the Southern Miao King of Medicine. I'm good at identifying poisons. After my examination, I discovered that the white candle contains the oil of the Five Poisons Insect and the ash of the talisman paper is mixed with the Demonic Fragrance Grass. When roasted with fire, the smoke will cause hallucinations. The former can make people faint while the latter can make people mad. It's the same for dogs and other animals."

It turned out that after the box containing the dead prisoners and the cage used to lock the dogs were carried away, the candle and the ash of the talisman paper were taken away and sent to Zhu Qingjue.

Yu Shu narrowed her eyes and thought. She turned to look at the Celestial Commissioner. Seeing the calm expression on Da Dian's face, she knew that it was his meticulous arrangement. She couldn't help but admire his foresight.

"So, bringing the dead back to life is fake. Deceiving the emperor is the real thing," Zhu Qingjue said coldly.

Being exposed on the spot, Yamada Jiro immediately panicked. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Emperor Zhao Qing's expression. He could only bluff and shout at Zhu Qingjue, "Don't slander me. I'm a Dong Ying envoy who came to congratulate the Da 'an Emperor. How would I have the guts to deceive the emperor! Calling the wind and summoning the rain is real, and bringing the dead back to life is also real. You're framing me! You're being wrongly accused! "

Zhu Qingjue couldn't be bothered to argue. He directly opened the bag of ash and threw it at him.

Yamada Jiro was caught off guard. He inhaled the ash and sneezed. In the next moment, everyone saw his face quickly turn red. His whole body trembled twice, and as if he was bewitched, he spun around on the spot and shouted.

His manic appearance reminded people of the dog in the cage that had fallen for the trick.

The fair and delicate Dong Ying youth looked at this scene in a daze.

Facts spoke louder than words.

"How dare you!" Emperor Zhao Qing was furious. A mere envoy dared to play with him, the Da 'an Emperor, like a monkey!

Fortunately, they didn't succeed. Otherwise, he would have become the biggest joke in the world!

When the emperor was angry, the few people from the Dong Ying side were so scared that their faces turned pale. They all knelt down. Only Abe Bekui seemed to be haunted by a ghost and didn't move at all.

"Guards, take them all away and throw them into the prison! Then send people to the posthouse to arrest their accomplices! "

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial guards rushed in from outside the door and swiftly dragged the group of people out of the hall. The envoys of the other countries felt a chill down their spines.

Now, it was quiet. However, things weren't over yet.

Duke Jing was also a person who couldn't hold back his anger. He immediately scolded the Dong Nation for being disrespectful and harboring evil intentions. He proposed to send troops to suppress them.

This proposal was supported by a few people, but there were also voices of opposition.

"I think that we should first investigate the whole matter clearly. Who ordered the Dong Ying envoys to do what they did and why they coveted the Diaoyu Islands. Then, we can decide whether to send troops or not."

This was the first time that Yu Shu heard Xue Rui's grandfather, Right Prime Minister Xue Lingnan, express his opinion in the past two days.

"I agree." The kind-looking Prime Minister Yin also spoke up.

After the two sides persuaded, Emperor Zhao Qing calmed down. He immediately issued an order for the Supreme Court to interrogate them. The Ministry of Justice and Swan Temple would assist in the investigation and Xue Lingnan was appointed to supervise.

After dealing with the group of Dong Ying people, Emperor Zhao Qing looked back at the two young people who were still standing in the hall. Hearing the sound of rain outside, he felt a little better and drank some tea. He said, "The Celestial Commissioner has done a meritorious deed by summoning the rain and the Court of Imperial Physicians has done a meritorious deed by exposing the drug. How do you think I should reward them?"

Although he was asking everyone, his eyes only glanced at three people — — Zhu Muzhao, Left Prime Minister Yin, and Right Prime Minister Xue.

The three people looked at each other. To avoid arousing suspicion, Zhu Muzhao naturally didn't say anything. Xue Lingnan also didn't say anything. Finally, Yin Tianhou stood up and spoke, "Deputy Physician Song of the Court of Imperial Physicians is about to retire. Imperial Physician Zhu is young and promising and can be promoted. As for the Celestial Commissioner, the miraculous deed of summoning the rain and wind will definitely be known by the people in the future. She should also be promoted. However, she has just been appointed as the Imperial Physician of the Kunling Bureau and is still inexperienced. Why don't Your Majesty bestow her with a title as a reward and pass it on. "

Some of the people below were shocked. Although they knew that Yu Shu was going to make a fortune today, no one would have thought that the Emperor would bestow a title!

According to tradition, only those with third-class and above titles in the Da 'an Dynasty would have a title. She, a fifth-rank female official, actually received a title. Wasn't this equivalent to giving face to a third-rank official?

Moreover, along with a title, there were some hidden privileges. For example, walking in front of the Emperor, not kneeling to the nobles, riding the sedan chair at the Meridian Gate, etc.

Everyone was envious and secretly jealous. Only Yu Shu didn't understand. When she heard Prime Minister Yin's suggestion, she felt that she was at a disadvantage. She thought to herself that Zhu Er had been promoted and made a fortune. Why did he give her a title?

Emperor Zhao Qing considered for a moment and felt that this idea wasn't bad. He looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "In this case, Zhu Er Lang will be promoted by one rank and will be the Deputy Physician of the Court of Imperial Physicians. You will also be rewarded with half a year's salary. Imperial Physician Yu, I will bestow you with a title. You will be called — — "
