"Mountain God of Tianzhu Mountain, do you know your sin?"
Bai Yu suddenly shouted loudly.
All the civil and military officials and everyone present were stunned for a moment. He had already scolded him once before, and they didn't understand why he suddenly scolded him again.
To say that he is guilty, the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain is certainly guilty. He openly questioned the Queen Mother. This is the following crime.
However, the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain faced the risk of being deprived of his status and being executed. He still had to speak out and remonstrate with the Queen Mother to return power to the new emperor. This is something only loyal ministers dare to do. If it is because of this, they will use "
If he kills the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain for the following reason: "I am guilty of the following", I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.
The Mountain God of Tianzhu Mountain raised his head and glanced at Bai Yu, ignored it, and continued to kowtow, "I openly questioned the Queen Mother, and I know that I am guilty of death. The Queen Mother deprived me of my status, and even killed me. I have no complaints. I only invite the Queen Mother."
Observe the ancestral system of the dynasty and return power to the new emperor."
Bai Yu sneered, "Not only did you commit the following crimes, you also disobeyed Emperor Taizu's legacy that 'gods of mountains and rivers do not participate in politics'! You have no right to question the Queen Mother!"
The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain suddenly raised his head and looked at him doubtfully, "Why didn't I know that Emperor Taizu had such a legacy?"
All the civil and military officials also looked confused, they didn't know.
Concubine Yi frowned and looked at Bai Yu. Falsifying the legacy of Emperor Taizu was a serious crime. She asked the King of Jinnan next to her softly, "Brother, do you know whether Emperor Taizu left such a legacy to the ancestors of Jinnan Houfu?"
?”
King Jinnan shook his head, "The Blood River Sword is a great gift from heaven, and there is no legacy."
Bai Yu said, "Emperor Taizu lived nine hundred years, and the dragon lived a long life. During his lifetime, he spoke countless classic words with golden tongue, which were later compiled into volumes by the historians, totaling 1,333 volumes, 850
There is a sentence on page 37 of the fourteenth volume, 'Since ancient times, the gods of mountains and rivers, the spiritual essence of water and soil, have been transformed into beings, harmonizing mountains and rivers, nurturing the people as their duty, and have not participated in political affairs'."
The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain is confused. How can he, a mountain god, understand this?
All civil and military officials were also confused.
Civil servants read a lot, and most of the books they can read are books related to gaining fame and imperial examinations. They also read a few volumes of Quotations of Emperor Taizu when they have nothing to do, but there are more than a thousand volumes, and no one with nothing to do can read them all, let alone
Remember them all.
Not to mention military attachés, some of them come from well-off families and have actually read a lot of books since they were young. But after all, martial arts training is their main job. Even if they want to read, they have to read military books.
The nobles all lowered their heads and looked at the black bricks on the ground... Don't look at us, the lovely wives and concubines in the back house, we have studied them thoroughly. As for reading, that is the business of scholars.
The envoys from the various vassal states were even more confused. They knew the Daqian Dynasty very well, otherwise the kings of the vassal states would not have sent them as envoys. However, no matter how familiar they were, they could not understand it to this extent.
"Emperor Taizu, has he ever said this?"
Concubine Yi waved to a portable historian who was recording the worship ceremony. The historian should know the quotes of Emperor Taizu best.
The historian's whole body felt chilly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he complained in his heart, and secretly cursed Bai Yu... You were granted the title of king at such a young age, and you are so rich and powerful. It's so "very" good. Why don't you fill up the back house well?
Honorable nobles are studying the beautiful wives and concubines in the back house. You have nothing to do after you have eaten. Why are you reading so many quotations from Emperor Taizu? You still memorize them all by heart. Are you mentally ill?
The historian smiled bitterly, "For the Queen Mother, as a historian, Wei Chen has read all the more than a thousand volumes of Emperor Taizu many times, but it is impossible for Wei Chen to remember them all. It is already difficult to remember the main quotations, let alone one of them.
A small sentence, I really don't know."
Concubine Yi's beautiful eyes turned cold, "If I don't remember, why don't you go get it immediately?"
The historian turned pale with fright, hurriedly resigned, ran down the tower, rode a fast horse, and galloped away to the Hanlin Academy.
Everyone waited in silence, the atmosphere was dull, the Queen Mother was furious, and no one dared to speak at this time.
Not long after, the historian came back, holding a golden ancient book with trembling hands, and said excitedly, "To the Queen Mother, this is the 854th volume of Emperor Taizu's Quotations. There is indeed a mountain, god, and river on page 37.
God is not allowed to participate in politics."
Concubine Yi said, "Pass it around."
The historian handed the ancient books to the civil and military officials.
The civil and military officials circulated it in turn, read it carefully, looked at each other silently, and soon began to reprimand them.
"Emperor Taizu did say that mountain gods and river gods are not allowed to participate in politics!"
"The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain violated the teachings of Emperor Taizu and dared to openly question the Queen Mother, which is an unforgivable crime!"...
They hoped in their hearts that the Queen Mother would return the throne to the new emperor, but the God of Tianzhu Mountain was useless. They made such a big mistake, so they had no choice but to take advantage of the situation.
To put it bluntly, they are just "weeds on the wall". How many people are really not afraid of death? Even if you are not afraid of death, you have to think about your parents, wife and children, right? If the Queen Mother is angered and someone raids the house and exterminates the whole family, no one will be afraid.
They couldn't help but glance at Bai Yu. This Prince Ming was really amazing. Not only was his strength unfathomable, he even knew Emperor Taizu's more than a thousand volumes of quotations by heart.
Bai Yu became angry and looked at the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain coldly.
"The first emperor died suddenly, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne in a hurry. Before he succeeded, the new emperor was not a prince after all, and had no experience in participating in government affairs. The Queen Mother was worried that the new emperor would make mistakes, so she made a well-intentioned decision to stay in power for three years. It was out of a loving mother's heart.
But was questioned?"
"Even if you want to question it, you have to be questioned by someone who is qualified to participate in politics."
"As a mountain god, you are not even qualified to participate in politics, yet you dare to openly question the Queen Mother!"
"You also deliberately chose such a solemn occasion to worship the mountain gods and river gods to question. Not only has it damaged the Queen Mother's face, it has also damaged the majesty of the dynasty and made the envoys of the princely states a joke."
"Three crimes: damaging the dignity of the dynasty."
"Do you know your guilt?"
The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain was silent and speechless.
After a while, he kowtowed to Concubine Yi and said, "I don't know the emperor Taizu's legacy, nor do I know the empress dowager's good intentions. I know my sin and am willing to die to apologize."
He is really an upright and upright mountain god... Bai Yu is sweating. Fortunately, Jinhua is a talented woman, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle just now.
Concubine Yi said, "You are the first mountain god personally consecrated by Emperor Taizu. Not only are you highly virtuous and respected, but you are also extremely powerful. You are the head of all the mountain gods. I hope that you have guarded Tianzhu Mountain for many years, protected thousands of miles of territory, worked hard, and were loyal.
It is not easy for the Ai family to kill you, nor to deprive you of your status as a god, but if you are not punished for what you did today, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Tianzhu Shanshan Shinto, "I am willing to accept all punishments."
Concubine Yi Guifei pondered, but didn't know how to punish her. The geographical location of Tianzhu Mountain is too important. It is behind Tianzhuiguan and plays a vital role in stabilizing the rear. The most important thing is that once something happens to Tianzhuiguan, Tianzhu Mountain will
When the army of wild beasts marched straight into the wasteland, Tianzhu Mountain became the last fortress. The strongest mountain god in Tianzhu Mountain could not get into trouble, but other punishments were a bit indifferent to a mountain god.
Bai Yu saw Concubine Yi's dilemma, and he just wanted to try the skill of [Killing Gods], so he immediately said, "To inform the Queen Mother, the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain can be exempted from death crimes, but living crimes are unforgivable, so we might as well kill his little clone."
, let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds."
Concubine Yi had no better punishment, "Then let's punish him according to what King Ming said."
The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain kowtowed again, "Thank you Queen Mother for not killing her."
Bai Yu grabbed a spear from a Jinwu guard, activated his [God Killing] skill, and threw it directly.
The spear fell on the huge head of the mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain, and the impact with the hard rock produced a cloud of sparks, making a trilling sound, and then nothing happened.
Bai Yu was stunned. The [God-killing] skill...is this all?
The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain was puzzled, "Why did King Ming throw a spear at me?"
Everyone looked at Bai Yu strangely, wondering what he was doing?
Only then did Bai Yu remember [Kill the Gods (You can kill any mountain god, river god, or any god who has ill intentions towards you with one strike.)]. The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain bluntly stated that he was admonishing him just for the sake of the dynasty's ancestral system and had no ill intentions toward the Queen Mother.
There is no malice towards him. The condition for using the god-killing skill is that there must be malice first...
Bai Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how I can kill your little clone because it's so huge..."
"Don't spare King Ming's trouble."
The mountain god of Tianzhu Mountain looked indifferent, and suddenly slapped his chest with a palm. There was a loud "boom" and turned into gravel and soil all over the ground.
Bai Yu felt it was a pity that such a good "guinea pig" blew himself up.
