    Now, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

    In order to ensure that the prayer for rain would not be disturbed, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan unanimously chose to keep it a secret.

    They quietly started to set up the altar, and then Li Chaowen was also invited down the mountain.

    In fact, Li Chaowen couldn't even think about leaving the mountain, because the story of his stealing and embezzling the property of Mo Temple had spread throughout the temple. While the senior brother framed him, he also seemed to have bribed the Daolu Department of the Ministry of Rites, and was preparing to take him to the temple.  He completely eliminated the idea of ??deviance.

    Li Chaowen, who was in front of Fang Jifan, was trembling with fear and felt very unreliable.

    He wanted to cry. He didn¡¯t know how to pray for rain. Being a Taoist priest was just his profession, but he didn¡¯t believe a word of the Taoist scriptures.

    Then Zhu Houzhao summoned him in person, and saw Li Chaowen fighting with his arms. He didn't even dare to raise his face. He was hunched over and his face was sallow.

    Zhu Houzhao glanced at Fang Jifan suspiciously, frowned and asked, "Is this the very professional master?"

    "Yes, Your Highness, he is an expert." Fang Jifan said with certainty.

    Zhu Houzhao then reached out and lifted Li Chaowen's chin, raising his face and frowning deeper: "It doesn't look like it."

    "Praying for rain is a big deal. Although something went wrong, I can take responsibility for it, but I am the prince, so I can't do it too ugly."

    Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Chaowen, whose face was sallow and the corners of his mouth were trembling. He felt more and more confused and turned his clear eyes.

    "Old Fang, you didn't deceive me, did you?"

    "That's what a master is like." Fang Jifan insisted and continued to speak without conscience.

    In fact, he also felt that Li Chaowen was not very photogenic.

    "II don't pray for rainII" Li Chaowen trembled violently, then his knees softened, and he knelt down directly. He immediately hugged Zhu Houzhao's thigh and begged for mercy with a trembling voice.

    "XiaoXiaodaoplease, Your Highness, spare Xiaodao's life"

    Zhu Houzhao's brows furrowed deeply. He felt that Fang Jifan was insulting his IQ. He wrinkled his nose slightly, showing an uneasy look, and glanced at Fang Jifan sideways: "Old Fang, I feel some inexplicable fear in my heart."

    Fang Jifan was also convinced by Li Chaowen, a softie. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally spread his hands: "Your Highness, these people are here"

    Zhu Houzhao: ""

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The consecutive days of drought have filled the capital with a strange atmosphere.

    The recent weird weather has indeed given many people more words to incite.

    Since then, nursery rhymes have spread everywhere, which is more serious than the memorial reported to the palace.

    On the street, many people were secretly discussing something. The vast majority of people in this world still firmly believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.

    Therefore, Liu Jian was very worried about this.

    He advised Emperor Hongzhi that his majesty must not let Dongchang and Jinyiwei capture the evil talkers.

    That¡¯s not to say that these people who deceive the public with their monstrous words are not hateful.

    It's because the instigators behind them cannot be easily traced. Once the factory guards arrest the 'rebellious parties' on a large scale, based on past experience, the final result will most likely be the instigators behind the scenes.  The rebellious party has long since escaped, but the ordinary people and ignorant children who enjoy talking about it eventually become the rebellious party!

    Once this happens, not only will the problem not be solved, it may even create new problems.

    In the cabinet, after noon, Liu Jian took a nap, and then a eunuch came in a hurry: "Mr. Liu, no, something happened. Your Majesty summoned Gong Liu and others to Nuange as soon as possible."

    Liu Jian was startled. Right now, the entire Gyeonggi Province is ablaze. What could happen now?

    He was extremely worried and his face was livid. He had no time to tidy up his clothes, so he hurried to Nuange with Li Dongyang and the others.

    When they arrived at Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi's face was obviously ugly. He raised his eyes and glanced at them, but he was scolding Jin Yiwei Mou Bin.

    "Praying for rain? What are you praying for? He is the prince, and the prince is also involved in the temple of obscenity? If this spreads, wouldn't it become a big joke?"

    Hongzhi¡¯s eyes were particularly harsh. He stared at Mou Bin fiercely, as if he wanted to skin Mou Bin alive.

    But Mou Bin was already so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

    "There was no news of Chen Wan's death in advance."I think they are praying for rain, but in fact, they may be secretly plotting against Chen Cang. After all, Fang Jifan is so witty"

    Hearing this, Liu Jian couldn't laugh or cry, but he nodded thoughtfully and said in agreement: "That's right, I don't think Fang Jifan would really encourage His Highness to do such unreasonable things as praying for rain."

    Emperor Hongzhi's face had returned to calm at this moment, but his eyes were still filled with worry. He sighed deeply in his heart and tapped the document in front of him with his knuckles.

    "The reason why I called you to wait is because Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, just reported something. Last night, a small group of Jinyi Guards on night patrol was attacked, and four people were killed!"

    The expressions of Liu Jian and others suddenly changed. Sure enough something was going to happen.

    Those rebellious ministers and traitors behind the scenes obviously couldn't hold it any longer. Seeing that the court had no next step in dealing with the rumors, they took action.

    "What they want is for the court to be in turmoil, and then go around to arrest the rebels, and then take the opportunity to create greater public dissatisfaction."

    The severe drought in the past few months has made many people prefer to believe in ghosts rather than the imperial court.

    Liu Jian¡¯s face dropped.

    And Emperor Hongzhi also had a solemn expression, looking worried.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
