Chapter 217: The Legend of the God of Heaven

Chen Shuirui really wants to see what is in Qiuyue's mind, how she can always come up with unexpected ways to speak.
Qiuyue looked at the three people who didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say next. In her opinion, besides Zhou Qi's two fathers, everyone should be able to understand her intentions, which are nothing more than using the excuse of divine intervention to bring a ray of light into the dark lives of the people.
李泽认为这法子是可行的，至于陛下是否同意在雨中祭祀，这他就不清楚了，若是不愿他也不能进行别的劝说了。
周启望了望李泽与陈书瑞，发现两人似乎都已经知晓秋月其中的含义，他只得用求知的眼神看向秋月。
Akizuki looked at Suguru's eyes and felt a bit helpless, so he explained again:
"The method for this matter is actually quite simple. We will use the sacrifices for His Majesty, which moves the heavens. If it starts raining in the north while stopping in the south, it will truly demonstrate the power of nature."
周启头疼的挠了挠头，他不理解为何这南方的雨是说停就能停的，那为何不从一开始就让雨停下来呢？
If we talk about understanding Zhou Qi, it would have to be Chen Shurui and Li Ze. Chen Shurui immediately resolved Zhou Qi's doubts:
"The rain in the south is not something we can stop just by saying so, but everyone has already seen that it has been raining for so long in the south. It may stop around this time, so let's just bet on this one time! If we win, it's a fortunate thing; if we don't win, things won't be that different."
Now Zhou Qi finally understands what Qiuyue means, he nodded and praised:
"Since that's the case, I think this method is excellent! As long as you two can successfully persuade the Emperor, plus the rain stops in the south, our army will start to tackle the disaster, and everything will start to improve!"
陈书瑞彻底忍不住了，直接上去就敲了一下周启的额头：
"So you think this idea is good, huh? Now you're calling yourself 'this old man', before you were calling yourself 'this old man too', you're quite confident in your identity."
Zhou Qi calmly twisted his joints, making a "crackling" sound.
Seeing this, Chen Shurui quickly turned around and looked at Li Ze, solemnly asking for his opinion.
Li Ze glanced at Zhou Qi's threat and looked at Qiu Yue beside him:
"Yue'er, this idea of yours is not bad at all. We can really give it a try later."
Chen Shurui: "..."
Zhou Qi yanked Chen Shurui over and expressed his yearning for him, wanting to spend more time with him.
Chen Shurui helplessly spoke random words to Zhou Qi and kept listening to Qiu Yue and Li Ze's conversation.
Aki was really not clear about the ritual process, she just roughly stated her own feasible methods, and she didn't bother to ponder about the rest.
Seeing that the matter seemed to have been handled more or less, Li Ze tapped his waist.
"There's no need to be too anxious about the sacrificial ceremony. I'll find someone to prepare it according to Wang Ren's procedures later. We still have a whole day to rest well."
Li Ze thought for a moment and continued:
"As for the ritual, the three of us, the powerful ministers, should dress in splendid attire. It would be best to wear the clothes bestowed upon us by His Majesty. Autumn Moon, you don't need to appear."
Li Ze also felt that Qiu Yue would not appear in person, so he added this sentence again. However, according to the previous sacrificial ceremonies, it is necessary for the crown prince and the current princess to be present together to symbolize the completion of yin and yang. Although there was no princess present in the previous ceremonies, I don't know what arrangements His Majesty has made this time.
Zhou Qiman's mind was filled with thoughts of gathering everyone together to have a drink after finishing the task. He realized that it had been a long time since he had gotten drunk with his two closest friends in front of him. Today was the perfect opportunity since he had the most free time!

“Let me go and inform His Majesty of this matter, and he will notify the necessary arrangements for the sacrifice. In the meantime, let us take this opportunity and enjoy a little leisurely drinking. Although it may seem idle at this time, we have already taken care of our tasks. There's no harm in taking some time off, right?”

Li Zeyuan had a black line on his face, wondering why someone would think of drinking at such a time? Even Chen Shurui shook his head helplessly.
Li Ze coughed twice to hide his embarrassment:
"Forget it, it is too dangerous nowadays. It's not suitable to get drunk at this time. However, tonight we can gather at Shu Rui's place and have a nice dinner together. We can share a cup of tea instead of alcohol. How about that?"
Chen Shurui had this plan in mind and quickly expressed his approval, saying that he would instruct his subordinates to prepare even more delicious dishes. With these words, his figure disappeared from the room.
Zhou Qiming seemed a bit disappointed, and he really wanted to have a drink with his two close friends in front of him. But he listened to advice and knew that it was really not possible.
Li Ze stood up and went back to the palace. Along the way, he suddenly felt regretful. He thought he should have let Chen Shurui go to the palace! He had just left the palace for a short time and now he was going back. Isn't this purely finding trouble for himself?
If the emperor suddenly had an idea and decided to stay in the palace, wouldn't he be tired again for a few days?
But he's already on his way, so he can only reluctantly return to the palace with a bit of grievance and helplessness.
Akiyuki and Zhou Qi haven't moved from their positions. After Li Ze left, the two of them resumed discussing the disaster relief efforts concerning the southern region. Akiyuki believed that it might be necessary to have the military help clear the floodwaters, otherwise they would continue to be submerged. Even if they wanted to cultivate crops in the future, it would be difficult.
Furthermore, the common people are so desperate for food that they don't even have the energy to clear the floodwaters. They can't even find a place to live!
However, Zhou Qi feels that this method proposed by Qiu Yue puts too much pressure on the military. He believes that the military may not be able to handle it and it may even have a counterproductive effect.
Therefore, before having dinner, both Yunr and Lu Hui did not stop discussing this topic even after they arrived.
After giving instructions to the servants, Chen Shuirui conscientiously returned to the guest room to handle the remaining tasks at hand.
Rhyme and Lu Hui were both in the study, but they could hear the argument between Qiu Yue and Zhou Qi. The two of them were really distressed. They had come together to be reunited, but ended up experiencing such worldly suffering...
Rhyme and Lu Hui glanced at each other and silently slipped out of the study.
In fact, the two didn't have to leave so cautiously. After all, Qiu Yue and Zhou Qi were very absorbed in their current argument, and the two almost started quarrelling over this matter.
