As soon as Wang Tao spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of the eldest princess Liang Chuxue. She looked at Wang Tao in surprise, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
"I'm the new little father-in-law. My name is A Shou. I'm wronged to be hated by my master just because I said something fair."
When Wang Tao saw that the time had come, how could he not cherish it in front of the eldest princess?
"Oh, what did you say?"
Liang Chuxue asked doubtfully.
Qiaoyun's eyes turned cold and she stared at Wang Tao deeply, a little shocked by this man's boldness.
Facing the princess, the other slaves had been so frightened that they were shaking into chaff, but the person in front of them actually dared to talk.
"I just said one thing: any extravagant extravagance before the Chengtian Festival held once every ten years is not advisable."
"Chengtian Grand Sacrifice? When did you say these words? What nonsense are you talking about? You are so outrageous, someone will kill this slave dog on the spot..."
When Wang Tao suddenly started talking nonsense, Qiao Yun's face was stunned, and then she sneered and wanted to ask someone to kill Wang Tao, but she was interrupted by Liang Chuxue just in the middle of her words.
"Qiaoyun, shut up, you are not allowed to speak again without my order."
Liang Chuxue's face became serious after hearing Wang Tao's words, and she scolded the maid Qiaoyun who was about to get angry.
Qiaoyun's face was stunned for a moment, then turned pale, and quickly lowered his head without daring to speak.
Tears were rolling in her eyes. She had been following the princess for more than ten years, and this was the first time she had seen the princess so angry. All of this was thanks to a dog slave.
Although Qiaoyun lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and the knuckles of his hands turned white, he was obviously very angry.
Wang Tao remained indifferent, not looking at her, but calmly looking at Liang Chuxue.
The Liang Kingdom was founded less than a hundred years ago and went through seven generations of kings. The founding king was a pavilion chief who was accustomed to seeing the sufferings of the world. He was well aware of the influence of kings on the world, so he made an early decision to worship ancestors every ten years.
This sacrifice is not a trivial matter. When worshiping ancestors, the king of the world must read out all his sins to the world in front of the ancestors' tombs, and make countless copies to show to everyone in the world.
Obtain forgiveness from ancestors and people all over the world.
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, one can only offer sacrifices to heaven after reading out the sin edict.
It is even more strict when offering sacrifices to heaven. Not only do you have to fast for seven days, but you also have to sow grain seeds in the so-called giant cauldron on the altar. Twelve grains of each type represent December.
If all the seeds germinate within seven days, it means that the gods of heaven and earth agree, and you can continue to lead the officials and continue to be the emperor.
If all the grains sprouted within seven days, but not all of them sprouted, the emperor would be whipped for each additional seed that failed to sprout.
If one or more types of grains fail to germinate, the emperor will give a warning to the wise ones.
If there is no germination at all, the emperor will sacrifice his body to heaven and earth on the spot to apologize to the world.
To put it bluntly, this concerns the emperor's position and even his life, which is a bit more terrifying than an election.
Phew! Interesting, this rule is interesting.
If atheists only need to strictly control the sacrificial process and ensure that every step is their own, they can regain the so-called recognition of heaven and earth.
If it is theism, I am afraid that I can only pray to gods and worship Buddha and practice more merits.
The former requires the emperor to be outstanding in management, and the latter requires outstanding morality. No matter which one, a fool will not rise to power.
Of course, the side effects are also obvious. Every time there is a sacrifice, it is also a time when various forces compete. If there are loyalists, there will naturally be emperor-defying factions.
As long as you can do some tricks in the whole sacrifice, you can bring down the emperor without bloodshed.
Of course, this will only increase internal friction, and it is the bottom class who will suffer the consequences.
Wang Tao thought about it and stared at the eldest princess who was deep in thought. Her face was gloomy and she seemed to be deep in thought.
Liang Chuxue frowned after being surprised. She raised her head suddenly and looked at Wang Tao in surprise, her eyes flickered, and a fierce aura came out of her body.
"Who are you? Who sent you?"
Wang Tao just smiled and said nothing, but looked around with unclear meaning.
"You come in with me. Others should do whatever they want."
Seeing that this man was so calm and unhurried, and seemed to be very worried about something, Liang Chuxue immediately understood.
She took a deep breath and walked back to the palace gate first. Wang Tao quickly followed. The others dispersed, and Qiao Yun also followed.
She quickly led Wang Tao to the side hall, and Liang Xue waited uncertainly for Wang Tao to speak.
Wang Tao looked back at Qiao Yun and the other maids.
"You guys go down too."
Liang Chuxue pointed at Qiaoyun and others.
"Princess……."
"go out."
"yes."
Qiaoyun looked worried when she saw that the princess was left alone with her and the dog slave.
"Hmph! Dog slave, if you dare to be unreasonable to our princess, see how I deal with you."
"laugh."
Wang Tao sneered, not caring about Qiao Yun's threat at all.
When everyone was gone and only Wang Tao and Liang Chuxue were left, Wang Tao knew the time had come.
"Your Majesty, I can see you. Your Majesty..."
Wang Tao then crawled on the ground and cried loudly. Of course, although his cry was loud, not a single tear fell. After all, his face was a human skin mask and there was no salt water.
"Gah!"
Seeing someone calling her Her Majesty the Queen, Liang Chuxue was dumbfounded. She looked around in panic. When she saw that there was no one around, she took a deep breath and looked at Wang Tao, who was crying uncontrollably.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you continue to talk nonsense, carefully check your head."
Liang Chuxue's face was gloomy, but there was not much anger in her eyes.
"Hmph! You go back and tell your father that I, Liang Chuxue, have no intention of becoming a queen."
laugh!
Wang Tao felt funny that the eldest princess mistakenly thought that she was someone sent by Emperor Liang Qi to test her.
"Eldest Princess! I am a star dreamer named Wang Shuishou. In the past few years, when I have been observing the sky, I have discovered that a purple star is so dazzling that it will unify all the stars in the near future and fill the world with the light of benevolence."
"Your Majesty! Is this star yours?"
Wang Tao said with heartache.
"Nonsense."
Liang Chuxue said this with a hint of joy in her eyes, and Wang Tao felt relieved, knowing that this silly woman believed her 30%.
Hey, I guessed it right. The eldest princess has been staying in the palace and often walking around in front of the emperor. She would be damned if she didn't have ambition.
"The current Holy One favors and trusts traitors, has great ambitions but few talents, and is narrow-minded..."
"Shut up. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll dig out your tongue."
Wang Tao was interrupted by Liang Chuxue just in the middle of speaking, but Wang Tao did not stop.
Are you kidding? Now is the time for me to express my determination, and you still want to prevent me from expressing it. How is this possible? Besides, you are telling me to shut up, but you are telling others? I don’t like to hear duplicity.
Wang Tao thought with disdain but kept talking.
"The people in the world are impoverished, refugees are everywhere, and uprisings and riots are constant. These are all the faults of the Holy One! Her Majesty the Queen is a person who upholds the way of heaven. Since there is no way in heaven, Her Majesty the Queen should take it as her own duty to restore order to the world."
"You...get up!"
Hahaha. The trust increased to 50%. Wang Tao felt secretly happy.
