There was a flash of light, followed by a loud bang, and even a subtle crackling sound, like a strong wind blowing through the trees, making a rustling sound that was upsetting.
Suddenly, there was a shout from outside: "The fire is coming!"
The emperor was surprised.
He rushed out of the Qianqing Palace and saw that a tree outside the palace was on fire.
The eunuch behind him shuddered with fear.
blah-
The whisk fell to the ground.
The emperor snorted coldly.
"Why are you panicking?"
The eunuch fell to his knees.
"This slave deserves to die! He deserves to die a thousand times!"
"Humph~ 'Ten thousand deaths'? That sounds nice, but if people had ten thousand lives, why would they suffer so much?"
"Slave..."
"Alright, alright, I don't mean to blame you. Go ahead and summon the imperial guard to the palace."
"promise."
The eunuch quickly stood up and found that his legs were shaking violently.
When I knelt down just now, my knees hit the ground too hard. I didn't control the strength well, and it hurt so much that I limped when I walked.
The emperor saw it all and knew the reason.
Thunder strikes the imperial city...
Throughout the history of all dynasties, this kind of thing is extremely rare, and it is even more unique in the Great Xia Dynasty. This kind of thing is almost unheard of in the entire capital.
First, the capital has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs and is a time-tested Feng Shui treasure land;
Secondly, it gathers the royal luck and has the ability to protect.
So, of course the eunuch would be suspicious when he saw this kind of thing.
The emperor did not blame him.
Anyone would think that way.
His eyes were dim as he watched the palace guards take the water dragon to put out the fire, but a fire of ignorance and karma rose in his heart.
"Are you stupid? It's just a tree on fire. After chopping it down, you can just use buckets or basins to put out the fire. It only takes one or two round trips. Isn't it much faster than connecting a water hose?"
The guard was stunned.
The leader said, "Your Majesty, those are the daylilies sent by Malacca..."
The implication is of course that it cannot be cut down.
The emperor was furious.
I actually forgot about the plants that were sent as tribute by a small foreign country.
He was so ashamed and angry that he clenched his fists suddenly. For a moment, he could not suppress his emotions and wanted to kill the leader of the guards who had embarrassed him.
Fortunately, the eunuch interrupted the emperor's thoughts.
"The director of the Imperial Observatory requests an audience."
The emperor was stunned.
"What happened? So fast?"
"In reply to the emperor, I haven't left the palace yet, and I happened to run into the eunuch who reported that the supervisor has entered the palace and is waiting in Wenhua Pavilion. Lord Chu is chatting with him."
"Quick announcement."
"promise."
The eunuch walked away in small steps.
The emperor watched her back, then looked at the daylilies whose flames were gradually dying down, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and returned to the Qianqing Palace.
When meeting with the supervisor, you must be in the best spirit.
He took a sip of tea to calm himself down, then sat upright in his seat.
Not long after, a report came from outside.
"The supervisor wants to see you."
"Enter."
The door was immediately opened.
Unexpectedly, the supervisor came into the room with a happy look on his face.
"Your Majesty, happy news! Great happy news!"
As a first-rank monk, although he is old, he has a youthful face and few wrinkles.
But his smile today looked very "tragic", with the wrinkles on his face forced out, like a bunch of blooming old chrysanthemums.
The emperor was stunned and subconsciously leaned forward.
"What happy event?"
The supervisor laughed.
"Your Majesty, today the three sects are discussing the Dao. People from Bailu Academy and Daxiangguo Temple are also there. As representatives of Confucianism and Buddhism, I think you already knew about this."
"Well, what's the problem?"
"Fang Jingwu from Bailu Academy wanted to challenge Yu Youwei, so he planned to use Li Qingcha as a bridge, but the result was..."
The warden suddenly gasped.
The emperor was confused by the other party's sudden pause, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to wait patiently.
As a result, the supervisor said something without a beginning or an end:
"All sages and saints are differentiated by the law of non-action."
Of course the emperor didn't understand.
He pondered and said, "Please enlighten me, sir."
The Supervisor smiled and said, "Confucianism comes from the Confucian Saint, Taoism comes from the Taoist Master, and Buddhism comes from the Buddha. Which super-talent is this? Each has its own system and veins. Although all cultivators know that different paths lead to the same destination, no one has ever considered the similarities and differences between the three schools of thought and cultivation."
The emperor suddenly opened his eyes wide.
At this moment, if you still don’t understand the meaning of what the supervisor said, you would be like a fool.
But the problem is...
"Did Li Qingcha say that?"
"Correct."
The supervisor nodded.
The emperor could not help but freeze, his right hand moving unconsciously.
Hold, release, hold, release...
There was a scratch on the corner of the desk.
The Supervisor had expected the Emperor to react in this way, and he could not help but curse in his heart.
Li Qingcha is such a little bastard. It's fine for him to live in the Imperial Observatory. It doesn't take up much resources for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. I didn't expect him to dare to say anything and even disturb the fortunes of the three families.
Ugh……
You have to clean your own ass.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, when I entered the Qianqing Palace just now, I found that the tribute wood was on fire. Was it caused by lightning?"
The emperor was slightly embarrassed.
The supervisor remembered that it was a daylily, but he himself did not remember.
He replied, "That's right."
The supervisor closed his eyes and pondered.
"As expected... As expected... Li Qingcha has stirred up the fortunes of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The impact is so great that even the fortune of the royal family has been affected. The protection of the imperial city has temporarily failed."
"Is that the reason?"
"Yes."
The Supervisor only said that the failure of protecting the imperial city was temporary, but he did not say that the impact on the fortune of the royal family was also temporary.
Some things can only be expressed vaguely.
If the emperor was really controlled by the three young dragons, the crown prince, the second prince, and the seventh prince, then Li Qingcha's influence on the current situation today might be extremely far-reaching and could only be seen in the future.
The emperor didn't realize that the eunuch was playing word games.
He breathed a sigh of relief,
Afterwards, I was a little confused.
"Sir, why do you say this is joy... um... I understand."
If Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were mixed together, it would definitely be most beneficial to the current prominent Confucianism.
Confucian scholars cultivate themselves, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Although they put self-cultivation first among the three, being a Confucian scholar also depends on talent. Most of them cannot escape the fate of "goods and emperors".
Disrupting the fortunes of the three would be most beneficial to the royal family.
Now, those favored ones in Taoism and Buddhism are probably at a loss as to what to do, right?
After figuring this out, the emperor laughed out loud.
"it is good!"
The supervisor sighed slightly.
Li Qingcha might cause Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism to fall into chaos, and countless young disciples would no longer be convinced of their beliefs.
However, there is no construction without destruction, and the essence is retained after the dross is removed.
If there really is a golden phoenix that is reborn from the ashes, it is very likely to reach a high level in a short period of time.
The Supervisor felt that Yu Youwei was such a cultivator. If she could find a Taoist companion to restrain the shortcomings of the human sect's cultivation, her achievements would definitely not be inferior to the four disciples directly taught by the Imperial Observatory.
He bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it is said that the more you argue, the clearer the truth becomes. However, this year's three sects' discussion has had the opposite effect. Isn't this a great joy for the court?"
The emperor laughed even louder.
"Li Qingcha is very good! Very good! It suits my taste very well!"
Chapter 346: Time loop?
Add more.

"Sir, come and sit down!"
The emperor's mood became very good.
Suddenly the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, and the incident of the palace being struck by lightning was revealed.
The supervisor smiled.
"Your Majesty, such a big thing happened today. It would be better to let me return to the Imperial Observatory as soon as possible to continue observing the changes in the fortune. Moreover, I think it is almost time for the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple to enter the palace..."
The emperor shook his head.
"Are you in such a hurry? I see that there will be no more changes today."
"This……"
