When a particularly bright morning star appeared on the eastern horizon, people living within a hundred miles of the foot of Mount Li were awakened by huge explosions.
Boom boom... boom boom.
One after another, the sound was so loud that it resounded through the sky, and the sleeping people jumped out of bed one after another. They didn't even have time to approve their coats and ran away, for fear that if they were too slow, they would never be able to get up again.
"Run, run, the bull has turned over."
"Hutou, Hutou is good, mother is here..."
…
Everyone was in a panic and couldn't choose the way to go. You squeezed and stepped on each other, and there were constant cries and shouts.
In addition to the foot of Mount Li, the same thing happened in several other places. As agreed, several mountains not too far away from the imperial city but where no one lived, almost at the same time, huge explosions occurred.
The sound, the rumbling sound, can burst a person's eardrums.
"It's not a cow turning over, it's thunder, thunder." The panicked crowd shouted loudly as they ran out. The panicked voice made other people even more uneasy.
"Thunder? How can there be thunder in the winter? If God thunders in winter, wouldn't it kill us?"
"Look, look, there's a fire on Banshan Mountain, there's so much smoke, there's such a big fire." Among the crowd, a relatively calm man pointed at the mountains ahead and shouted loudly, until everyone saw it.
, the man shouted again, knelt on the ground crying, and kowtowed in the direction of the explosion.
"This is because God is angry and has sent down his wrath. We have no way to survive. There is no way to survive."
"Destiny is a warning. God is dissatisfied. Someone must have done something outrageous, and God is not happy."
"God is angry. There is no way to survive now."
As the man shouted and bowed, the others also knelt down and worshiped, crying and shouting. Everyone said that the sudden explosion was God's dissatisfaction and a warning from God.
The man who took the lead in crying took advantage of the excitement of the crowd and quietly disappeared. The panicked people did not realize that this man was not from their village.
Not just in Banshan and Lishan, but in every town and mountain village where the sound of the explosion could be heard, there were people saying that God was dissatisfied. God was warning. He was dissatisfied, and who was dissatisfied? Of course, he was dissatisfied with the emperor who was destined to be his destiny.
There was a commotion all night near the imperial city, but the people in the imperial city did not hear a trace of movement. When daybreak, the towns near several mountains were in commotion. The people were panicked and rushed to the government office together.
, I want the government to give an explanation.
At the same time, storytellers in several big cities in the north and south also changed their usual rhetoric and talked about God's anger, implying that someone had done bad things, God was dissatisfied, and that "someone" except the current Holy One,
There are absolutely no two people.
This news seemed to have grown wings. Within a few hours, it flew thousands of miles away, but the source of the news could not be traced.
When the government heard this rumor, they immediately sent troops to interrogate people. However, the more people were questioned, the more people complained. It seemed that in an instant, an atmosphere called "uneasiness" spread throughout Dongling.
Xinbing rushed for 800 miles to deliver the news to the stables, but I don't know what happened. The road that is usually very smooth is full of troubles today. It is simply not allowed to let people walk. Either the bridge is broken or there is a huge bridge.
The tree suddenly fell down, blocking the road. The most ridiculous thing was that a huge stone suddenly appeared on the road. It seemed that the stone was embedded in the soil. It was definitely not moved in the past two days.
The sudden thunder blew a big hole in the mountain, and the strange things they encountered along the way made even the messengers feel that it was related to destiny, and they felt even more uneasy.
But the people in the imperial city didn't know that at dawn they went about their daily work as usual, and the emperor summoned all the ministers to attend the morning court as usual, and he was in a particularly good mood today.
In the early morning, after the usual discussion, the imperial censor Zhou Yufu read a bullet to scare the Nine Emperors Uncle and Feng Qingchen. The Nine Emperors Uncle did not respect the emperor. When he came back from finishing his errands, he did not go to the palace immediately to meet the saint, but gave a gift to him.
When a woman comes home, she must be beheaded according to the law.
The phoenix hairpin that Feng Qingchen wore on the day he entered the city was supposed to be worn only by the queen. Feng Qingchen wore the phoenix hairpin without the emperor's will. If the following offenders commit crimes, they will be executed according to the law.
The word "Xuan" was spoken two words in a row, but the ministers in the palace were frightened. They looked at Yushi Zhou in fear, and secretly sighed that Yushi Zhou was not willing to die? But then they understood that there was no emperor.
How dare Zhou Yushi dare to make excuses? This is because the emperor is dissatisfied with the Nine Emperors Uncle and wants to take action against the Nine Emperors Uncle.
This time, Uncle Nine Emperors was doomed. All the ministers took a quick look. Standing at the top, Uncle Nine Emperors seemed not to have heard anything. He secretly admired Uncle Nine Emperors for his good theorem, and he was able to keep his composure.
After looking at it, the ministers quickly withdrew their gaze, not daring to look at the aloof emperor. They huddled themselves into a ball, staring at the toes of their shoes and not daring to raise their heads, for fear of becoming unlucky.
The emperor knocked on the dragon throne with satisfaction. The emperor is the emperor. No one can offend him without being punished. The ministers in the court will eventually have to see his face.
"Ninth brother, do you have anything to say?" The emperor said from a high position, in the tone of a benefactor.
It turned out that the emperor had this idea, and it was indeed a good plan. Even if he were to be killed, he would not dare to say anything wrong. He was indeed guilty of the following.
The Nine Emperors Uncle's expression remained cold, and he took a step forward without hesitation, walked out of the row, raised his hands to the emperor and said: "I have nothing to say, I am loyal, I believe that the emperor has made his own decision."
Yesterday, I was the king, but today I have turned into my younger brother. The emperor sneered mockingly.
Ninth brother, everything is too late.
Decision? Huh...
No matter how deep the ridicule in the emperor's eyes was, his tone was much gentler: "Ninth brother, in a sense, you and I are brothers. You should listen to what my brother says. In a larger sense, I am the king and you are the minister.
You must obey your orders.
Ninth Brother, you have repeatedly disobeyed me. For the sake of the late Emperor and because you are still young, I tolerated you time and time again. However, Ninth Brother, you have gone even harder. Yesterday, you not only disobeyed me, but also threatened me. You despised your Majesty and were lawless.
Ji, even if I can tolerate you, no one in this world can tolerate you. Ninth brother, what do you think I will do to you?"
The emperor's words left no room for change and directly condemned Uncle Nine Emperors to the death penalty. As for Feng Qingchen, in the eyes of the emperor, it was just incidental. Without the support of Uncle Nine Emperors, Feng Qingchen was nothing.
Uncle Nine Emperors stood there quietly, facing the emperor's eyes, his eyes as calm as dead water. In the emperor's eyes, this was the expression of a loser.
The emperor suppressed the pride in his heart, with a heartbroken look on his face, and his voice was so sad that he couldn't control himself: "Come here, take down the Ninth Prince, hand him over to the prison of the clan, and deal with it according to the law."
"Yes!" Outside the door, the Imperial Guards who had been waiting for a long time rushed into the palace and came behind the Nine Emperors Uncle: "Nine Emperors Uncle, please!"
Hum... Uncle Nine Emperors sneered. His imperial brother was indeed very scheming and planned every step. Now even if he said that the emperor threatened him to move his mother's coffin out of the imperial mausoleum, no one would believe it. However, yesterday he cared about it and it was chaotic.
, fell into the emperor's trap, and at this time he was in a dilemma.
As for taking action, that is even more impossible. Once he takes action, he will be guilty of the crime. Standing on the basis of justice, even if the emperor kills him, no one will dare to say a word.
Brother Emperor, your recruiter accepted the call. The Nine Emperors Uncle raised his lips slightly, nodded slightly to the Emperor, as usual, and calmly replied: "I obey the decree!"
