Chapter 304

The team of heaven worship ceremony settled in cangshui city in the south, and the ceremony process organized by the Ministry of rites is still complete. In order to hold the grand ceremony, they even wantonly built civil works in cangshui city. In addition to a huge altar, there are three palaces to settle down for the emperor, Prince and Beijing officials.

The emperor entered the city in a sedan chair and shared a bed with the virtuous imperial concubine. Sitting on their couch, they waved to the people in the city. The emperor saw that all the people on the street were wearing royal clothes, thinking that the world was peaceful, prosperous and happy. The sedan chair walked all the way into the palace. The emperor rested temporarily under the service of the virtuous imperial concubine.

As soon as the emperor entered the palace, a group of officers and soldiers came to the street and shouted, "take your clothes! Hand them over quickly!"

The people took off their brocade clothes with complaints, revealing the original patched coarse cloth clothes inside.

"Everyone, go to the west of the city to get copper coins. Each person has three Wen. Don't compete." the officers and soldiers said.

The people turned in their clothes and lined up to the west of the city to receive copper coins. Xiaobai stood on the roof and looked at the scene coldly. The magpie next to him didn't know why human beings did this. He chirped and asked him, "what's this doing?"

Little white eyes showed a rare heaviness, and returned to it with four words: "whitewash peace."

Xiaobai jumped down from the roof. Below was his temporary shelter. He found a paper and pen, wrote down the scene in front of him and handed it to the magpie: "let your partners relay it to taixuan city."

The magpie grabbed a small note and flew away chirping.

There are ups and downs outside, but there is no spring and autumn in the Qianyi hall. Chen Jiazheng was configuring popular support for Xia Houyu, and the guards in Kyoto began to be nervous. Someone went to ask Ju Hongchang: "general, do you want to catch these scavengers who disturb the people?"

Ju Hongchang was holding a roll of bamboo slips copied by scavengers. He looked at the contents of the bamboo slips and said leisurely, "don't worry, we can control thieves and bandits, but we can't control the mouths of people all over the world."

Under the activities of the pilgrims, what happened in cangshui city soon became well known in the north.

Then, Xiaobai's letters were sent from south to north by magpie. From the crime of enslaving a large number of people by building a large number of buildings, to the fact that the seven princes did not abide by the rules, drink and have fun on the way to the heaven worship ceremony, and then to the fact that local officials plundered people's fat and cream and bribed Beijing officials... Piles and piles, all of which made people angry.

Among them, the most exciting thing is the petition of all the people brought by the seven princes to compete for the position of presiding over the sacrifice to heaven. According to the news from the south, the scavengers drew out the process of how the seven princes burned and killed the people and created blood cases. The tragedy of mass graves kept people awake at night, as if they could smell the cries of their compatriots.

The emperor closed his eyes in the south, but the people in the north were open-minded. Soon, some honest officials and noble barons in the North could not sit still. Honest officials are for the people, but the nobles are afraid that the world will be unstable and their noble title will not be maintained. These two kinds of people who usually have a grudge stand in an unprecedented camp and began to denounce the position of the seventh prince.

The seventh Prince and the virtuous imperial concubine knew about the situation in the north only a month after the ceremony began.

The seventh prince, with developed limbs and simple mind, said in front of the virtuous imperial concubine, "someone must have leaked the news! The south is my territory. How can these things spread to the north?"

The virtuous imperial concubine reprimanded him coldly: "I warned you long ago to search for some people's fat and ointment. You didn't tell me such a big thing as a mass grave?! you can stop the people in the world?"

When the seventh prince saw his mother's dignified look, he was a little flustered and asked, "mother imperial concubine, think of a way for my son!"

The virtuous imperial concubine was so angry that she wanted to slap her stupid son. She endured it for several times and said, "what if people in the world know? If the emperor doesn't know, you can send troops to protect the emperor's palace layer by layer from today on. All the incoming and outgoing books and folds were stopped on the grounds of your Majesty's poor health and handed them to me."

"The mother imperial concubine is Shengming." the seventh Prince is very happy.

He brought thousands of personal soldiers to surround the emperor's palace. He was afraid that the emperor knew what he had done. How could he know that the emperor was summoning a Jianghu doctor and staring at the "elixir" offered by the doctor!
