Episode 10 Chapter 500
Chapter 500
After Tang Yin consulted the ministers to move the capital to no avail, he never mentioned the matter again. As time passed, the matter fell into disuse and no one talked about TXT downloading.
More than a month later, during the early morning court meeting, after discussing government affairs and the ministers were about to leave the court, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something and called everyone back and said, "I had a strange dream last night. In the dream, I was standing at the door of the court, right there, right there!" As he spoke, Tang Yin pointed at the door.
Everyone glanced back subconsciously, and then all looked at Tang Yin, wondering why the king suddenly talked about his dream in the court.
Tang Yin walked around the table, walked down from the throne, stood in the center of the hall, looked around at the ministers, and said with a puzzled face: "It was very strange at the time. I was standing at the door of the hall when I suddenly noticed that the sky was rising from the south. The purple-red light is really beautiful, and when you look at it, you will feel an indescribable sense of comfort and peace. You are all capable ministers. Who can interpret dreams? Please help me analyze what this dream is about. "
People look at each other and interpret their dreams? How can I interpret dreams? If it was a dream dreamed by someone else, I could analyze it casually, but this dream was dreamed by the king. If I was wrong, I would have to live with it.
Everyone turned their attention to the national preceptor Liang Feiyun and the eldest uncle Zhang Xun. They had to rely on the eldest uncle to interpret the dream. Liang Feiyun was also the eldest uncle in the past.
Zhang Xun frowned and murmured: "There is purple light rising in the south, which means that happy events are bound to happen in the south, and the king is the king. If the king dreams of purple light in the south, it means... it means..."
"What does it mean? Master Zhang, please tell me quickly!" Tang Yin asked impatiently.
Zhang Xun bowed and said hurriedly: "That is to say... the destiny of my country, Dafeng, is... in the south!"
"Ah?" After hearing this, everyone present was shocked. The fate of the country lies in the south? In other words, the Feng Kingdom should move south? If the status of the eldest uncle was not too noble and sacred, I am afraid that the ministers present could not help but shout and reprimand him.
Liang Feiyun smiled leisurely and continued: "What Uncle Zong said is reasonable. According to the king's dream interpretation, such an inference can indeed be made. In fact, it is easy to understand. Our country has been expanding southward, and the national destiny will naturally be in the south."
"What the Imperial Master means is that our country will move south and the capital will be moved south?" Zhang Xin, the governor of Suzhou, frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"The destiny of the country lies in the south, so the capital should naturally move south." Liang Feiyun said matter-of-factly.
"That's nonsense!" Zhang Zhe stood up and expressed his objection. It was rare that this time he and Zhang Xin finally stood on the same side. He said sternly: "We, Dafeng, have been established for thousands of years, and Yancheng has always been the location of the country's destiny. How can we just change it?" At this point, he sneered again and said: "A while ago, someone actually asked the king to go south. The matter of moving the capital...could it be that the Imperial Master proposed it? The Imperial Master was originally a Zhen man, and now he is trying to deceive the king to harm the country, but he wants to avenge the fallen Zhen Kingdom?"
Zhang Zhe is such a person, he speaks without mercy and says whatever he thinks, no matter who the other party is. That is to say, Liang Feiyun's cultivation level is deep enough. If it were anyone else, he would have turned against him long ago after hearing these words.
Even Tang Yin felt that what Zhang Zhe said was a bit too much. His face darkened and he said, "As a royal doctor, Mr. Zhang should judge matters objectively. How can you just blame others based on your personal assumptions?"
Zhang Zhe hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "It is true that I made a mistake just now, but I am also eager to protect the country. I hope your Majesty will understand."
Regarding Zhang Zhe, what else could Tang Yin say to him? This stupid young man would even dare to contradict himself when he got excited, let alone Liang Feiyun, who was not born in Fengren?
He waved his hand and said calmly: "I only have this dream occasionally and I don't understand it, so I just asked casually. You don't need to take it too seriously."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Zhang Zhe bowed his hands and sang loudly.
Tang Yin was happy, and was infuriated by Zhang Zhe. He nodded, without saying anything else, waved his sleeves and said: "Retreat from the court!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!" All the ministers exited the hall one after another. When Liang Feiyun was about to turn around and leave, Tang Yin stopped him, and then the two of them walked side by side towards the back room.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is upright and outspoken. He just offended the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master should be more tolerant!"
Liang Feiyun smiled and said: "To be honest, if we really want to date, Wei Chen would rather date a straight-tempered person like Mr. Zhang than deal with a villain who flatters on the surface but makes a knife in the dark."
Tang Yin looked up and laughed and said: "I can guarantee this. If Mr. Zhang wants to kill someone, he will definitely chop off their head with a knife in his hand."
Liang Feiyun was also amused by Tang Yin's words. After a pause, he asked, "Has the king really made up his mind to move the capital?"
Tang Yin asked Zhang Xun and Liang Feiyun to help him interpret his dream in the court hall. It was just an introduction he threw out to pave the way for the next plan. Regarding this matter, he had approached Liang Feiyun beforehand, but he had not approached Zhang Xun.
Liang Feiyun is a pure person and does not have as deep feelings for Yancheng as Zhang Xun. Moreover, Liang Feiyun is more adaptable than Zhang Xun. To put it bluntly, Tang Yin has a premonition that if he goes to Liang Feiyun, he will definitely help him. If he goes to Zhang Xun, he will definitely help him. Not only will they not help themselves, they may even spread their plans and ruin their own affairs.
Tang Yin did not answer directly, but asked: "In the opinion of the national master, should the current capital of our country be moved, or should it not be moved?"
Liang Feiyun was silent after being asked. This question was not easy for him to answer. Judging from the current situation, it would definitely be inappropriate for Fengguo to set up its capital in Yancheng, but he was not a Feng person after all. If he supported the relocation of the capital, he would be suspected of subverting Fengguo. Liang Feiyun pondered for a long time and said with a wry smile: "My king, please don't make things difficult for me."
Although he did not directly answer his own question, Tang Yin understood what he meant when he heard it. He smiled bitterly and said: "Since we should move the capital, what are we waiting for? Are we waiting for Ningdi and Modi to cause a big mess? The earlier the capital is moved, the more stable Fengguo will be. It's a pity that too many people believe in the saying of "national destiny", and too many people only have their own little land in their eyes, completely ignoring the interests of the country."
Liang Feiyun nodded secretly. The king of Feng is indeed much more courageous than ordinary monarchs. He is tenacious and uncompromising. As long as he believes that it is the right thing, no matter how difficult it is, he can persist in doing it. This alone is very admirable.
A few days later, Yancheng was hit by heavy rains. Yancheng's climate is not good. There are high mountains all around. In summer, the climate is hot, and in winter, it is cold. Even if it rains, it either doesn't rain or it lasts for several days.
In recent days, the sky has been gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sky, making people feel depressed. This morning, the heavy rain continued. When most people in Yancheng were still asleep, suddenly, a deafening roar came from the west of the city.
The sound was so loud that it seemed as if the sky was falling. It could be heard clearly within a radius of dozens of miles, and the echo lingered for a long time.
At the same time, the whole Yancheng was shaking. Many people thought there was an earthquake. They hurriedly got up from their beds, without even bothering to put on their clothes, and rushed out of their homes, crawling and rolling, and took refuge in the streets.
It was still raining heavily at this time. People were shrinking their necks and hunching their backs on the streets, talking to each other, wondering what had happened, where the loud noise just now came from, and why it felt like an earthquake.
Just when people were confused about what was going on, suddenly, a fast horse came galloping in from outside the city.
The horseman was a soldier of the Feng Army, holding a flag that would only be used in an emergency, and he ran wildly while shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly! Something big has happened!"
The people who took refuge on the street were so scared that they retreated to both sides. The Feng Army galloped all the way and went straight to the palace.
Now, the morning court of Feng State had not yet dispersed. The rain outside was too heavy. Although the government affairs had been discussed, the ministers had not left immediately. Tang Yin specially prepared some tea, fruits, and snacks, and chatted with the ministers while eating and drinking.
Tang Yin and the ministers also heard the loud noise just now. Some people were sent out to inquire, but they had not returned yet. When people were still waiting for news in the court, a soldier of the Feng Army, who was soaked like a drowned chicken, staggered in from outside.
After entering the hall, he fell to his knees with a plop, and his voice changed. He almost screamed: "My king, something bad has happened. Broken Dragon Mountain... Broken Dragon Mountain has collapsed!"
"What?" This sentence stunned everyone present. They sat there, dumbfounded, and couldn't recover for a long time.
Broken Dragon Mountain is located to the west of Yancheng. It is the location of the ancestral temple of Feng State. The founding ancestors of Feng State and the memorial tablets of successive kings are all in Broken Dragon Mountain. Now Broken Dragon Mountain has collapsed. This is not just a matter of how much loss there is, but a huge omen!
The first person to come to his senses was Zhang Xun, the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan. The old man stood up like a spring, but as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and he fell backwards.
Zhang Xun fainted on the spot. The civil and military officials on his left and right gathered around him, holding up the unconscious Zhang Xun, rubbing his chest and back, and calling out repeatedly: "Grand Master of the Imperial Clan! Grand Master of the Imperial Clan wake up, Grand Master of the Imperial Clan wake up!"
After a lot of shouting, Zhang Xun finally woke up. After the old man woke up, he opened his mouth and couldn't help crying loudly. The other officials were not much better. They were like eggplants hit by frost, and their heads all drooped.
Duanlong Mountain collapsed, and the ancestral temple was gone. Isn't this a sign of the country's demise?
