Chapter 689: Each of them is a master with chapters
On the altar, the statue suddenly shattered without any warning, and the fragments scattered all over the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Everyone was shocked into silence by the sudden scene, and the top of Tianshan Mountain fell into an eerie silence.
Only Wang and Lin exchanged glances calmly, and it was obvious that they knew some of the hidden secrets.
Xiao Yining covered her mouth in shock, unable to believe that what she saw was real. She had only said it casually.
The next moment, her shocked gaze met with the emperor and those old ministers. Unlike the emperor's eyes which were filled with helplessness and complexity, those old ministers who had just heard her words all showed expressions of having seen a ghost. They were probably questioning their lives and reshaping their values.
She curled her eyebrows in embarrassment and hid shyly in her father's neck.
It was also at this moment that the people who were shocked by the collapse of the statue finally came to their senses and shouted in panic.
"If the statue is broken, the gods will punish us!"
"This is a very bad omen!"
"..."
With these passionate shouts, the people's emotions were gradually aroused, and the air was filled with a restless atmosphere. They knelt on the ground devoutly, kowtowed desperately, and prayed for the forgiveness of the gods.
Just then, a deafening shout drowned out all the noisy clamor.
"The heavens really favor our Great Zhou Dynasty! The gods have come to protect our emperor. First, they shed tears of blood to warn us that there are traitors plotting evil, and then they destroyed their own golden statues to show the world that only our emperor is destined by heaven and is protected by all gods. Those who attempt to rebel and usurp the throne are not recognized by the gods. This is undoubtedly a bad omen for the traitors!"
"Our emperor is the master of destiny. Anyone who rebels and dares to harm our emperor will be punished by heaven and incur the wrath of the gods."
These powerful words, like a magic needle, instantly calmed the originally panicked crowd.
Everyone looked up at the emperor at the same time, and saw the rising sun hanging behind him in the mist, with golden light pouring down and covering him with a sacred halo.
The black robe actually emitted colorful auspicious light in the light and shadow, and every ray of it seemed like a heavenly robe blessing the emperor.
At that moment, they seemed to see the image of a god standing above the clouds behind the emperor, majestic and solemn, watching over all living beings and protecting this land.
The voice just now rang out again: "Long live the emperor."
As if awakened from a dream, everyone shouted in reverence: "Long live the emperor."
One sentence after another, like the roar of a mountain and the sea, echoed on the top of Tianshan Mountain, shaking the heaven and earth.
Xiao Yining was also eye-opening today, first because of several waves of wonderful physical and chemical applications, and then because of the power of people's hearts.
She widened her eyes and looked at the person leading the public opinion, who was the old minister who had just advocated that the emperor must hold a sacrifice.
"Dad, who is this old...grandfather?" the kid asked quietly.
At that time, Lin Yuzan and his old rival were kneeling on the ground, doing nothing. Suddenly, he heard his daughter's question and replied with pursed lips, "This old man... Ahem, Qingjie, this is Jiang Hemian, the grandfather of Jiang Daxueshi, the elder of three dynasties."
Wang Cheng on the side also said: "In terms of civil affairs, there is Elder Jiang, and in terms of military affairs, there is Duke Chen. They are all respected people in this dynasty, and they are both very stubborn. Once they have made up their minds, even ten cows cannot persuade them to change their minds."
As soon as the two men finished speaking, they noticed the inquiring gazes from afar, and hurriedly bowed their heads respectfully, saying with the crowd, "Long live the emperor."
Sheng Jingchen withdrew his gaze, frowned, lowered his eyes, and stared at the black sacrificial robe emitting colorful beams of light, in silence.
This item was made by Zhi Wanniang, and its regulations were exactly the same as those for traditional sacrifices. When he received it, he was surprised, but he thought it was Li Anhe's suggestion, so he didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect that it was just two brats playing tricks.
Little Yining didn't know that this divine light was the work of her family.
She glanced at the two old men, and her tone just now was more or less filled with a bit of personal resentment.
She turned her eyes to Mr. Jiang, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This old man is really strong and powerful, his voice is like a bell, his words carry a lot of weight, and he is actually a Shinto fanatic. But he is also a shameless one, actually imitating her rhetoric.
Elder Jiang seemed to sense something and raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes briefly met with the little boy's.
His righteous expression suddenly froze, then he returned to normal. He slowly stood up, stood beside the emperor, and advised: "Your Majesty, you should not be too worried. The traitor's actions today are against the will of the world. It is normal for the gods to show their holiness and shock all living beings."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to help the "sad and speechless" emperor up, and continued respectfully: "Your Majesty is tired, this old minister will take you back to the palace."
Sheng Jingchen came back to his senses, glanced at the old man who had changed his mind, and rejected his kindness: "No need, Elder Jiang, go back and rest early!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanlao immediately bowed and did Pei Dafu's job: "Send His Majesty back to the palace and prepare for the arrival of the emperor."
Pei Dafu: ..., it's really weird!
The old eunuch also showed off his status, singing in a long voice: "Your Majesty, the dragon is rising..."
At the same time, the people around shouted in unison: "Farewell, His Majesty."
At this moment, no one cared about the changes in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Although it had experienced twists and turns, they had witnessed with their own eyes the arrival of the auspicious light that protected the emperor, and they were already satisfied.
Such a spectacle is hard to come by even once in a thousand years.
Everyone seemed to have turned into fanatical fans, staring at the emperor with passionate eyes.
Sheng Jingchen had an indifferent expression with a faint colorful halo as he walked to the side of the two brats. He paused slightly and hooked a finger at the little boy with his back.
Xiao Yining: ⊙▽⊙, uncle is going to take her away?
The little girl immediately broke free from her father's arms, got down to the ground, stood on tiptoe and stretched out her chubby little hands to the emperor.
Sheng Jingchen raised his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. One of his hands slid down from behind, accurately holding Xiao Pang's hand, and then ruthlessly threw a sentence: "You two clean up this place."
Wang and Lin: Σ(▼□▼メ), this old man changes his attitude so quickly!
The two old men turned around at the same time, staring at the old man's back as he kidnapped the kid and left, cursing in their hearts.
After the emperor sat on the dragon chariot and completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the top of Tianshan Mountain began to boil, and everyone talked loudly about the dreamlike scene.
Wang and Lin stood up with gnashing teeth, their ears filled with supreme praise for the emperor's miracles.
Lin Yuzan glanced at the mess in front of him and said with a sigh, "After what happened today, all the artifacts in Tianshan will be replaced by the Ministry of Rites, and the person with the guilty conscience will personally send someone to clean it up."
Wang Cheng, who was standing by, also looked unhappy: "Even so, I'm afraid it will take three days to clean up all the fragments of the statue!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, his old rival glanced at him sideways, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and gave him a look that showed his understanding.
Then he saw his old rival quickly take off his servant's coat and pounce on the rubble of the statue like a madman, completely disregarding his image and moving the large pieces of rubble into his coat.
Wang Cheng: ?_?, this guy must be crazy!
Afterwards, a second crazy person appeared at the altar, and Wang Cheng also ran to the other side and began to collect gravel desperately.
This abrupt scene caught the eyes of countless people, all of whom were confused and filled with surprise.
However, the next moment, the people who were paying homage became extremely enthusiastic because of this scene.
"That is a sacred stone blessed by the gods. If we can get a piece and worship it at home, it will surely bless us."
"Great, hurry up and grab the divine stone!"
"..."
The originally peaceful top of Tianshan Mountain fell into chaos again, and it was more intense than ever, it could be called a riot.
Those devout people were like people who had been injected with chicken blood. They tried their best to break through the human wall defense formed by the Iron Eagle Guards and soldiers. They could not wait for the officials and their families to come down the mountain. They rushed to the fragments of the statue as if they were priceless treasures.
In the chaos, even Xuanping Hou and the Iron Eagle Guards, who were seriously injured and needed to go down the mountain for treatment, were blocked by the possessed people. For the so-called "divine blessing", they would do anything and would not back down even in the face of the threat of death.
The two instigators had already left the scene dragging their coats full of gravel, and sat secretly in the corner, watching the crazy scene in front of them with interest.
