In fact, Deng Bingkun had no objection to whether to restore the monarchy or not, and he had no objection to who should be the emperor. However, his son's recent actions made him feel extreme fear in his heart. He never thought that his precious son would
It’s become like this. In order to become the emperor, he is so unscrupulous. Please familiarize yourself with the domain name.
There is an incense table in the center of the Temple of Heaven. On the table are the Xuanyuan Sword and the national treasure seal, as well as three animals and six animals and other objects used to worship heaven. Not far behind the case is a bright red flag hanging high, under the wooden flagpole.
After a while, Deng Bingkun lit the firewood, burned the flagpole, and looked at the direction of the red flag to determine whether God agreed to restore the monarchy.
Yesterday, when Deng Bingkun proposed to offer sacrifices to heaven, Deng Tianshou was a little angry. He cursed his father in his heart for being unscrupulous and not caring about his son.
Although many officials raised objections, Deng Bingkun was unprecedentedly strong and pushed back all objections by saying, "Since he is the real emperor, he must have the consent of God!"
Deng Tianshou could only accept it bitterly. The father and son were already turning against each other, and Xu Zhongtian was even placed under semi-house arrest in the Xu Mansion by Deng Tianshou.
It is difficult to tell the direction of the wind in the capital, especially above the Temple of Heaven. The wind is going south at one moment and may be going north the next, so no one knows which way the flagpole will fall after it is burned out.
However, although it is difficult to tell the direction of the wind, it is still very easy for Xu Da and the two of them to change the result of the sacrifice to the sky. With a palm of the wind, they can make it fall in any direction.
Deng Bingkun had the foresight to not allow Xu Da and the two to participate in the heavenly sacrifice, so that the matter of proclaiming the emperor would not be decided by heaven. At that time, Deng Tianshou was very worried, and he did not expect that his father would actually do it.
To play this trick on himself, although he is known as the true emperor who has been appointed by God, he does not believe that God will really be so obedient. He will blow wherever he wants, and he will blow wherever he wants.
There must not be any mistakes. If he fails in the sacrifice to heaven, then Deng Bingkun will find an honest reason to deny his identity as the destined emperor, "Since God didn't choose you, what qualifications do you have to claim the title?"
The right one? What qualifications do you have to be the emperor?"
At that time, I am afraid that the only option is to forcefully proclaim the emperor, but in that case the father and son will definitely quarrel. Although Xu Da and Chang Yuchun often advised him that if he wanted to be the emperor, he must be shady, but let him and
Dad fought for a while, but he couldn't do it yet.
Deng Tianshou quietly turned his head and looked at the large group of officials kneeling under the stands. The crowd cast two very reassuring glances at him, and he couldn't help but curve his lips with a hint of a smile, "Dad, you have Zhang Liang."
Plan, I have a wall ladder! You would never have thought that Xu Da and others would join this group of officials!"
Deng Bingkun did not expect that today the officials would go through strict identity checks when entering the venue, but Deng Bingkun had forgotten the terrifying strength of Xu Da and his super strength, super speed, and Deng Tianshu's
It was easy to get in by asking for permission, and almost half of the officials underground in the Temple of Heaven had gone to Deng Tianshou's faction.
"The auspicious time has come to worship heaven!"
Following a powerful shout from Jia Jianping, director of the General Office of the Central Committee, Deng Bingkun slowly knelt down on the futon in front of the incense table. Deng Tianshou also knelt down. Whether he could successfully ascend the throne depended on this one move. It can be said that
Deng Tianshou's inner tension was no less intense than that of Deng Bingkun.
Deng Bingkun turned his head and looked at Deng Tianshou strangely, with unknown emotions in his eyes.
"Dad, it's time to sacrifice to heaven!" Deng Tianshou couldn't stand the look in Deng Bingkun's eyes, and reminded him in a weak tone.
Deng Bingkun sighed in his heart, clasped his hands and began to pray, "Disciple Deng Bingkun reports to God that I have been in office for many years, but I have not made any achievements. Instead, China has experienced successive disasters, and I dare not be able to take on this great responsibility... There is a son named Tianshou, and all the ministers
Jiayu proclaims him emperor, but his disciples are in panic. Please give me a warning from heaven!"
After Deng Bingkun finished praying, he led the officials to kowtow three times and bow nine times to the incense case. After a big salute, Jia Jianping, director of the General Office of the Central Committee, stood up again.
"Today we are offering sacrifices to heaven. If the flags fall to the east, it means that God recognizes Deng Tianshu as the destined emperor. No one is allowed to have any objections and all support Deng Tianshu as emperor. If the flags fall to the other three sides, it means that God
If Deng Tianshu is not recognized as the destined emperor, the restoration of the imperial system will be abandoned, and no one will have any objections! Next, I will ask Chairman Deng to light the fire!" Jia Jianping shouted loudly.
Deng Bingkun tremblingly took the torch handed over by Jia Jianping, walked step by step towards the flag in the center of the Temple of Heaven, and lit the fire as if he had made a huge determination.
The raging fire soon started to burn. Deng Bingkun retreated to the case. While looking at the red flag nervously, he also paid attention to the changes in the wind direction around him. If someone was cheating, he would be able to detect it immediately and immediately announce the sacrifice.
invalid.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the burning fire, quietly waiting for the moment when the wooden flagpole was burned. Both Deng Bingkun and Deng Tianshou couldn't help sweating on their faces.
The big ones fell down, and both of them clenched their hands tightly into fists, not even noticing that their palms were pinched and bleeding.
"Never fall to the east, never fall to the east..." Deng Bingkun kept muttering in a low voice. At this time, he regretted so much that he asked Deng Tianshu to go to the imperial mausoleum to get the sword.
As a result of today's unmanageable situation, I watched my son grow up without seeing his true nature. This shows how deep his city has become. If he is allowed to ascend the throne and become emperor, what will happen?
If you are not a tyrant, it doesn't matter if you bear the infamy of the ages. If you let the people of the world suffer because of this, then you will not be able to escape the blame even if you die a hundred times.
Deng Tianshou's heart was also beating wildly. Although Xu Da and others were hiding in the scene, the result did not come out. His heart was always hanging, for fear that something would go wrong. If the flag fell to the east,
Then no one can find an excuse to stop himself from proclaiming himself emperor. If he turns to the other three sides at that time, all his previous efforts will be in vain. At that time, he will have no choice but to risk the disapproval of the world and forcefully ascend the throne with infamy behind his back, and then he will be considered emperor.
The emperor is not stable either, so today the flag must be tilted to the east no matter what.
Just as everyone was waiting with eager eyes for the moment when the flag fell, the Xuanyuan Sword that was placed on the incense table suddenly started beating violently, sweeping down a lot of offerings placed on the incense table.
