Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The emperor was overjoyed after hearing this and agreed to the second prince's request. The second prince had already set off to the palace before the key fell today.

After he left, the Ninth Prince got the news.

Blood sacrifice sounds scary, that is, during the sacrifice, you cut your wrist with a knife, drip a little blood into the wine bowl, and then pour the wine into the ground as an offering to the gods.

The Ninth Prince also knew what Master Wu Zhi said, 'The snow is getting worse at the end of the year and the moon is clearing at the end of the month.' He wondered if the Second Prince knew the exact time when the heavy snow stopped. He immediately went to ask the emperor for instructions, saying that he was also sad that the people suffered from the disaster, felt sorry for the emperor's hard work day and night, and was willing to make a blood sacrifice to heaven with the second prince. After being approved, he went to the sacrifice palace immediately.

The reason why the second prince is stuck on such a tight time schedule is definitely because he does not want other princes to follow his example. If the other princes learn the news tomorrow morning and go there, they will not be able to fast for three days, and they will not be able to participate in the thirty-day sacrifice to heaven.

At the end, the Marquis of Chu said, "The second prince has no chance of getting up early, and this time he even wants a blood sacrifice. Why would he do this? Does the prophecy in Master Wu Zhi's bag really predict that heavy snow will fall on the third day of the first lunar month?" Stop for ten days? Regardless of whether it will stop or not, the choice of the Ninth Palace to go to the sacrifice is definitely right. They have not stopped and they have done their best. If they have stopped, their contribution will be great. However, even if the Ninth Palace goes to the sacrifice, they will not stop. Compared with the second prince, he has already fallen behind."

Mr. Chu San said, "The second prince has been collecting strange people and strangers in the past few years. It is not certain if someone really sees the more accurate time. There are two things mentioned in the master's bag, one of which must be this. "

The old Marquis said, "Is there any more powerful master than Master Wu Zhi?"

The Marquis of Chu said, "There are people outside the world, there are things outside the world, you can't tell." Then he said to Chen Afu, "You are a smart boy, and you have the most contact with Master Wu Zhi. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Chen Afu was completely sure that the second prince was the reborn person and knew the exact time when the disaster would stop. If he does this, it will definitely be sunny on the 30th. Ancient people were superstitious. If this great contribution was taken by him alone, the emperor might think that he was a person favored by God, and he might not change his original intention.

He hurriedly said, "Dad, my daughter-in-law also thinks that the second prince may really know the exact time when the disaster will stop. The 30th is the last day of the first month, which also fits the 'end of the month' time period. Master Wu Zhi can give us a prediction, and there may be more updates." The powerful and capable person gave the second prince a prophecy."

Master Chu San frowned and said, "If the snowstorm really stops after the blood sacrifice, the Second Prince will have done a great job. Not only will the emperor rely on him more, but the courtiers and people will also respect him more. Even if the ninth prince goes to the heaven for blood sacrifice, He is also following the trend, far less successful than the second prince who proposed blood sacrifice and took the lead in carrying it out."

The faces of several people became more solemn.

Chen Afu pondered for a moment and then said, "Then we will find a way to invite Prince Rui to the palace and ask for instructions from the emperor, saying that all... adult princes should be allowed to participate in the sacrifice. This will move God more..." She originally wanted to say that everything A prince, but thinking that there was a little Eleven in Dingzhou Mansion, he changed it to an adult prince.

The Marquis of Chu was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded and said, "This move is extremely exquisite. Starting from tomorrow, I will ask the officials to praise the emperor for his skill in educating his children. When the country is in danger and the people are suffering, the princes can put aside their prejudices and United as one, brothers working together to sacrifice to heaven... In short, we should direct the matter of 'blood sacrifice to heaven' to the direction of the princes working together. What the emperor would rather see is the deep brotherhood that moves God."

Mr. Chu San laughed and said, "Wonderful! The emperor is also a father. Like all fathers in the world, he hopes that brothers will be harmonious and his strength will be broken. All the adult princes will sacrifice to heaven together and the disaster will end. This is far better than the two princes worshiping heaven alone." It will make the emperor more happy."

Mr. Chu Laohou laughed and said, "In this way, all the problems are solved. The second prince will definitely make the emperor look at him differently through this incident, but it is not enough for the emperor to attribute this credit to him alone, nor is it enough to change the emperor over the years. obsession."

Several people laughed when they thought of the second prince's annoyance when he saw all the adult princes gathered in the sacrifice palace.

After discussing, Mr. Chu San will go to Prince Rui's Mansion to convince Prince Rui. He must be convinced in the shortest possible time. It was already the beginning of the Xu period. If it was too late, it would be useless to persuade the emperor. The princes would not be able to participate in the fast when they went to the Zhai Palace to celebrate the birth. He quickly got up and hurried away.

Before Mr. Chu left, he nodded to Chen Afu with satisfaction.

After leaving the door, Chen Afu respectfully saw off the two elders before walking towards the inner courtyard. She looked at the heavy snow in the sky. Under the dim light, the vast white area looked like the fairy tale world in some movies in her previous life. The fairy tale world is beautiful, but the real world is cruel, and it has taken away many innocent lives. If the snow can stop on the 30th, the disaster will be over soon.

She took a long breath, it should be almost!

As soon as he finished breakfast the next day, Chen Afu hurriedly took his two sleeping children to Anrong Hall to inquire about the situation. She was so anxious to know the result that she barely slept at night.

Grandma Li was unwilling and complained for a long time, saying that it would be easy to freeze the child so early. Chen Afu ignored her and still went his own way and took the child out.

At this time, there was still strong wind blowing heavy snow outside, and the sky was still a little dark. The two children were wrapped tightly in their mother's arms, and the little girl was holding an umbrella. Chen Afu also came to Anrong Hall with his whole body covered.

There were still lamps lit in the side room, and the third lady was sitting on the kang with a solemn expression. She was wearing a half-used coat and skirt, and her hair was rolled up casually on top of her head. She completely lost her usual aura of brilliance.

Chen Afu was shocked and asked people to put the child on the kang and send the servants off. Asked in a low voice, "Didn't that happen?"

The third lady shook her head and said, "It's done. My master found Prince Rui last night. After hearing this, Prince Rui went directly to the palace to meet the saint. He said that brothers working together are as powerful as gold. He proposed that all adult princes go to sacrifice to heaven, which would be more able to move God. , to end the disaster. The emperor was even more happy, and he immediately agreed to the memorial. The adult princes rushed to the Zhai Palace overnight..."

Chen Afu was secretly happy. Several princes had ruined the second prince's good deeds. He must be furious, right?

Seeing the frown on the third lady's face, she said, "The third lady is so unhappy. I thought Prince Rui didn't go to the emperor, or the emperor didn't agree. This matter is done, and the third lady should be happy."

The third lady sighed heavily and said, "I'm worried. If the snow really stops on the 30th, it will prove that Master Wu Zhi's prediction is accurate. I don't know what will happen to my father. I’m worried to death. My father is in charge of the northern army, so he can’t stop going to the north, right?”
