Chapter 271: The Emperor Has Not Returned Yet, Storms Fill the Capital



The emperor always had a hint of power.

Now that he has obtained the so-called treasure of Emperor Yu and returned with a great victory in Nancang, wouldn’t he be even more powerful?

Moreover, some wealthy family heads still have fresh memories of Yu.

It was the rain when the emperor left Beijing last time. The kid from the Lin family cut off the head of a member of the Nangong family's side branch in front of them.

That calm yet terrifying scene still makes many people sweat profusely in their dreams at midnight.

Then a children's rhyme began to spread in the capital, saying something like: "The good rain is slow to come, the official is slow to return. I ask him why he doesn't come back, he wants the seal back!"

When readers heard this folk song, they knew it was a satire on the emperor, who ignored the people and went to seek the so-called treasure of Emperor Yu.

Because there had been rumors before that when the emperor offered sacrifices to the treasure of Emperor Yu in Dahuang County, he presented a precious seal.

They even described it with details, saying that the precious seal was about a foot square, with a dragon head in the shape of the seal button, and eight ancient characters engraved on it: "Received the mandate from Heaven, and sealed the mountains and rivers."

It was even said that the dragon head's eyes opened and closed, with the left eye always open during the day and the left eye open at night. In short, the legend was not only plausible, but also miraculous.

Not only did the common people talk about this matter with great relish, but even some scholars showed off their knowledge, saying that this seal was the Mountain and River Seal among the three treasures of Emperor Yu at that time.

In addition, the three treasures of Emperor Yu include the Jiuzhou Ding and the Emperor's Sword.

It is also said that the dragon head on the seal is Zhulong, also known as Zhuyin, and this dragon controls the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and the cycle of the four seasons.

Its left eye is the sun and its right eye is the moon.

When your left eye is open, the sky is bright; when your right eye is open, the stars rise.

In short, the treasures of the Emperor and Emperor Yu have not yet returned to the capital, but the rumors have already spread like wildfire.

This will inevitably make some people unhappy and disapproving.

So there was such a nursery rhyme.

But unfortunately, the person who wrote it must have read too much, and his writing was too flowery, so ordinary people could not understand what it meant at all.

This is often the author's tragedy. They always want to create a literary style, but unfortunately readers don't buy it at all.

You spend a long time thinking about it before finally coming up with a set of words, but after hearing it, people look confused and ask you, "What are you talking about?"

Oh, that’s difficult!
