Chapter 6 The third class of luck
Within the morning song, the sky is clear.
There is no cloud or fog, and the weather is very good.
It was summer, King Zhou and Daji were in the Shouxian Palace, singing and singing every night on the Picking Star Tower, dancing at all times, and dancing all night long, drunk and sleepless, and were very happy.
However, in the military camp to the west, there were heavy rains, floods and muddy everywhere. It was difficult for three thousand soldiers to go out to walk, let alone exercise the military formation and train force.
Some camps were unable to bear the accumulation of water and collapsed, horses were affected by cold and cold, and the soldiers also complained and their morale was poor.
Generals such as Chao Tian were at a loss and were in panic.
The side general also questioned Li Yuan, asking him not to make trouble and deliberately cause trouble, but was blocked by Li Yuan's light words "There is a decisive time, how can it change from me?"
The two brothers Chao Tian and Chao Lei were fighting in battles. They were not wise men who were good at governing and were helpless about this and could only pray that God would stop the rain quickly.
The two of them gradually became a little awe of Li Yuan.
Speaking of the day when he went to court, Li Yuan, Chao Tian and Chao Lei arrived at the hall together. All the ministers arrived, and all the civil and military officials were ranked as civil and military, waiting for King Zhou.
After a while, when he saw King Zhou coming in a hurry, he looked shocked and angry, and his complexion was not good, and the officials did not know the reason.
"Xuanwucheng King Huang Feihu, Ya compares to the god."
The two were one martial and one Wen, and two big humerals. Since King Zhou believed Daji's words and set up a punishment of burning and frying. Prime Minister Shang Rong resigned from office and returned home, the court led these two people.
Huang Feihu and Bi Gan came out of the line and bowed to him. Li Yuan gathered his magic power on his eyes. Looking closely, he saw that the top of his head occupied the Shang Dynasty's fortune, as big as a hood, protecting the two of them.
The aura of the two was closely linked to the fate of the Shang Dynasty. They were transported and fused back and forth, nourishing each other, and were very closely related. One qi was connected, one prospered and one lost.
It’s just that these luck disperse but do not gather, like smoke and clouds, and only have their own shapes. This is because they are not suitable for use.
Enjoying the fortune of the country is generally divided into three levels.
The third level is that luck is like water mist, lingering around, which is often the income of ordinary officials who accumulate merits;
The second level is like Huang Feihu and Bi Gan, who is like a lucky person, and is like a cloud covering its top, which can seek benefits and avoid harm and intimidate evil spirits;
The first level is to be able to adapt to the fate of the country to the sky, follow the changes of the dynasty, and every move is related to the extension of the country.
The national fortune that King Zhou enjoyed was the first in the Shang Dynasty;
——But the fortune of the dynasty is to moisten the fortune of the human race. Therefore, whenever the dynasty declines, the fortune of the human race will tend to choose another "true emperor". Once the fortune of the dynasty disappears, it will go against the will of heaven everywhere, so naturally it will not last long.
This is generally the way to move fortune. From ancient times to the present, from the top and bottom, the human race's luck often goes smoothly and moves forward without human power.
However, it is not easy to predict where the "destiny" is and how the general trend of heaven and earth is running. Perhaps only the saints can calculate it.
Li Yuan was thinking in his heart, but King Zhou had already spoken to Huang Feihu and Bi Gan: "Two Youths, today, there are many strange things."
Bigan asked, "What's wrong?"
King Zhou said: "There is an assassin in the palace building. He holds a sword and stabs me. How dare you ask who is the one who is in charge?"
Huang Feihu was in charge of national military affairs, and the palace guards took his post as his post. He was shocked and said, "How could this happen?"
Then he asked, "Who was on duty yesterday?"
There was one person in the middle, and the official appointed as the general, named Lu Xiong, who came out of duty and replied: "Yesterday, I was in the palace and there were no spies. Could this person be mixed with all the officials in the sub-court building at the fifth hour, so there was such a change?"
Then the assassin was pushed to the hall again, and Fei Zhongyao, his favorite minister next to him, went to investigate.
Li Yuan could see clearly that this assassin was deliberately bought by Daji and Fei Zhong to frame Queen Jiang in the Central Palace.
Su Daji wanted to replace Empress Jiang, but there was no reason, so he arranged such a conspiracy to make King Zhou depose Empress Jiang.
However, before the assassin could find out, Chao Tian and Chao Lei came out again and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the Chaoge military camp has been raining heavily recently for several days, and the weather is abnormal, and the soldiers are suffering. I am afraid that it is because of the demonic way, so I do it on purpose!"
The officials looked at the two brothers one after another, seeing that they looked white and light, were inactive, and were inadequate in their words. It seemed that they had not had a good sleep for several days.
King Zhou was worried about the "assassin's business", so he didn't care whether it rained or not. He immediately said: "Chaoge has a demonic aura recently. This was what Master Li told me a few days ago. Just leave this matter to Master Li to deal with it."
Chao Tian and Chao Lei were stunned immediately. They reported that they wanted to say that Li Yuan was harming the military camp with heavy rain, but King Zhou obviously had no intention of understanding and beat them back in just one sentence.
Li Yuan also stepped forward and said, "I will deal with this matter later and let the heavy rain stop."
King Zhou nodded: "Well, I'm working hard for Taoist priest."
Chao Tian and Chao Lei looked at each other in a daze, a little stunned, not knowing what to say, so they had to retreat in disappointment.
Li Yuan bowed and said, "The suffering of the soldiers is like a thorn in my heart, so I will be ordered to stop the rain first."
King Zhou said: "Please go."
Li Yuan shook his robe and retreated, regardless of Chao Tian and Chao Lei, and walked straight out of Jiujian Hall.
······
The military camp west of Chaoge.
Li Yuan was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the military camp, and heavy rain kept dripping on him.
The misty rain and the sky are mixed together, all hanging in the high air, difficult to distinguish, and it is impossible to tell which clouds are and which rain are.
The sergeant surrounded him into a circle, as if he was watching the excitement, talking to him and pointing fingers.
"What is he doing?"
"Isn't this our new general?"
"Why is he sitting here in the rain?"
“…….”
“…….”
The soldiers were full of resentment in the barracks, and they all vented their anger by watching the excitement, turning into frank words all over the sky, lingering in the sky.
"I just heard that General Li was praying to heaven, saying that he couldn't bear to see the soldiers suffering from rain and floods, so he meditated here for three days and begged to stop the heavy rain!"
"What if it rains heavily?"
"General Li said he would meditate like this until the rain stopped, the wind stopped, the clouds cleared and the sun rose!"
"General, I want to move God with sincerity!"
"yes......."
No matter how the people around him talked about it, Li Yuan just closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, as if he was receiving the caress of raindrops and the baptism of the sky.
It's strange that from noon to afternoon, in just two hours, the rain really slowed down.
Li Yuan finally opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
The soldiers around him also felt the rain gradually diminishing and screamed excitedly.
Li Yuan stood up and shouted to everyone: "This rain has been for no reason, but it will eventually stop. Tomorrow I will ask the emperor for his orders. After the rain completely stops, I will distribute resources and rebuild the barracks!"
His voice was extremely loud, and suddenly overshadowed the other soldiers' cheers.
"The general is sincerely moved by heaven and earth!"
"General Li is really a kind person!"
The soldiers praised Li Yuanlai again.
At this time, in the military camp, the side general who opposed Li Yuan suddenly said, "Fake it! They are all fake! This heavy rain was what the demon wants. Now he no longer uses magic, so the rain stops. Don't be deceived by him!"
Before Li Yuan could speak, the soldiers beside him said, "Where are there any gods who are asking for rain? I know you can't stand the new General Li, but you can't target him like this!"
The side of the party glared at the surroundings and said, "Who? Who is talking? Stand out!"
The speaker had not found it, and another voice appeared in other places: "You are General Chao Tian's confidant, of course you are unwilling to admit General Li's achievements. I heard you discuss yesterday how to deal with General Li when you go to court today?!"
The sideline said: "You..."
Li Yuan walked to the sidelines, took the sword around his waist, and said, "It's okay, everyone speaks freely, I promise he will never dare to do it!"
So the soldiers poured out all the complaints they had accumulated over the past ten days, and the target was the "inappropriate" generals, and later they even touched Chao Tian and Chao Lei.
They didn't dare to speak to their superiors like this on weekdays, but some people used today's atmosphere to release their emotions in one breath.
"If our General Li really wants to ask for rain, then wouldn't we be blessed?"
"Yes, there is a general who can ask for rain, and we are not happy yet!"
Li Yuan smiled and answered to everyone one by one, and his attitude was not as arrogant as the general, so everyone became more convinced of the new "General Li".
As he established a good relationship with the soldiers, Li Yuan had already felt that the Shang dynasty he had gained was becoming more stable and reliable, but suddenly a strange movement came from the east.
Unconsciously, he felt that it was a shaking movement of the national spirit, which made him look at that place.
