Could it be that... God is angry?

At this time, Li Shui suddenly said loudly: "Good omen, good omen."

The courtiers all looked at Li Shui speechlessly: "Is this considered a good omen?"

Li Shui continued: "God was worried that the sun would be too strong and burn your majesty, so he put up an umbrella to protect your majesty from the sun. It can be seen that the communication between heaven and man is really effective."

The courtiers were all shocked: Is this okay?

Li Shui's explanation obviously made Ying Zheng very happy, and he nodded with satisfaction.

When everyone was halfway up the mountain, there was a sudden thunder and it started to rain.

The dark cloud just now finally showed its power.

The courtiers were even more embarrassed.

There was wind and rain during the sacrifice, this matter...

As a result, Li Shui still shouted: "Good omen, good omen."

The courtiers were speechless: I have never heard of this being called a good omen. If this can be considered a good omen, are there any bad omens in the world?

Of course, they did not tell Ying Zheng this. Who would want to get into trouble with the emperor at this time?

They just looked at Li Shui curiously, wanting to hear how he planned to explain.

Li Shui said seriously: "This is the nectar from the sky. It can nourish all things and bring harvest to the people. It can sweep away the heat and make people feel refreshed. It can even be drunk to prolong life."

The courtiers looked at the pouring rain and hid under umbrellas shivering: Exiling the immortal is too powerful. This can also be explained.

Ying Zheng said: "Get ready to catch the nectar."

Soon, a beautiful woman came with a golden plate to catch the nectar.

This golden plate actually catches dew from the sky. Now it needs to catch rainwater. It only takes a few seconds for the plate to be full.

So the gold plate was replaced by a gold pot.

After receiving a full twenty cans, Ying Zhengcai asked them to stop without wanting to finish.

Li Shui, who was standing next to him, lost no time in saying: "When I refine the elixir in the future, this nectar will come in handy."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

The courtiers now really admired Li Shui.

Confucian scholars from Qi and Lu did not go to see the Zen ceremony.

Even if one or two people went to take a look at the excitement, they would soon come back.

The Zen ceremony was not according to their ideas. They were very unhappy, even angry.

They felt that Chunyu Yue was a heretic, while Li Shui and Li Xin were simply crooked.

The imperial court must straighten out its roots, otherwise the country will not be a country.

This is the consensus among Confucian scholars in Qi and Shandong.

It's a pity that they are soft-spoken, and the last time they met the emperor, they had a vague feeling that His Majesty... didn't seem to like them very much.

So these Confucian scholars chose another method.

They planned to lobby the powerful nobles in Qi and Lu to ask them to come forward to remonstrate with Ying Zheng.

Although after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the original aristocratic power plummeted, their words had a certain influence after all, and perhaps His Majesty could listen to them.

However, these Confucian scholars soon fell into disgrace.

They arrived at the home of the local Master Zou.

Mr. Zou was settling accounts in the accounting room. It took a long time before he met these Confucian scholars.

The Confucian scholars were a little unhappy and said to Mr. Zou: "Your Excellency is a nobleman, and he is mixed with Mr. Accountant. What's going on?"

"Aristocrats should be indifferent to fame and fortune. How can they care about money all day long?"

"Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, there is not a word of money in it."

Lord Zou is a little unhappy. These people...are too easy to teach, right?

Are they here as guests? How can anyone reprimand the host when they come up?

So Mr. Zou said calmly: "Gentlemen, haven't you walked in this world for a long time?"

Confucian scholars: "What?"

Mr. Zou chuckled: "I have indeed read a lot of books by you, and the words of sages have indeed come to me as soon as I opened my mouth. But the principles of the world cannot be understood by reading. Sometimes behind closed doors, I feel

I have learned ten percent by myself, but when it comes time to use it, I often hit a wall."

The Confucian scholars were a little angry.

Mr. Zou's words seemed to be mocking them for being nerds.

One of the Confucian scholars sneered and said: "We have good intentions. I hope Mr. Zou will not degenerate and end up associating with merchants."

Mr. Zou sneered: "Are you willing to degenerate? If you associate with merchants, does that mean you are willing to degenerate?"

"Why don't you open your eyes and take a look? Today the way of merchants is prevalent. And it is precisely because of the ways of merchants that our country, Great Qin, is prospering."

"You hold on to the doctrines of hundreds of years ago and are stuck in your ways. There is an air of staleness all over your body. Who else do you want to slander?"

The Confucian scholars were all furious.

They looked at Mr. Zou and said, "So, are you really unwilling to help persuade the emperor?"

Mr. Zou thought: So they came to me to ask me to remonstrate with the emperor? These people are really interesting. When they arrive, they will not talk about business, but will scold me first.

He looked at the Confucian scholar and said, "What do you want me to advise the emperor on?"

In fact, Mr. Zou didn’t want to dissuade him at all.

He felt that these Confucian scholars were too pedantic and could not understand the situation at all.

Since the collapse of the Six Kingdoms, His Majesty has been very wary of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. Although the imperial examination has been opened and the children of nobles are allowed to serve as officials, there are still many tests.

Under such circumstances, you want to remonstrate? What tricks are you doing to make your advice unpalatable? Isn’t that asking for death?

The Confucian scholars said to Mr. Zou: "We hope that you can advise the emperor on frugality."

Mr. Zou frowned: "Practice frugality?"

The Confucian scholars nodded and said: "That's right. How much people's fat and money have been spent on this sacrifice? We think that Your Majesty should restrain himself. Otherwise, the world will be in trouble."

Mr. Zou chuckled: "The world will be in trouble because of this? Why do I feel that everyone is happy?"

"I was notified of the banishment to immortals several months ago. In the sacrificial ceremony, a lot of flower petals were needed. Therefore, I planted hundreds of acres of my farmland with various flowers."

"I provided all the flower petals used in today's sacrificial ceremony. The profit I made is 70% higher than in previous years."

"Why do I think this sacrificial ceremony is a good thing?"

Confucianism's hands and feet trembled with anger: "You are really self-destructive."

Mr. Zou sneered: "You don't realize that times have changed. Now that we don't have money, how can we let our children go to Shangjun's villa to study? How can we get ahead? You should put away those ideas of the past, otherwise you will definitely be ruined.
