Zhao Jing never thought that something like this would happen. It sounded like child's play, as if he had been pulled out from a moat and left behind some unknown generation of "Bibi". Bibi, also known as the supremacy of the dragon, the son of nine old six. He looked like a turtle, and he was carrying a heavy load as he moved.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for something like this to appear in the water, but now, it just so happened to appear in the water. Moreover, this monolith inscription even had something that should not have been written on it. I heard that his eyes were still bleeding when he fished it out. Even hearing it sounded unlucky, let alone seeing the words on the stone tablet. It caused the civil and military officials to discuss the matter animatedly. The hearts of the common people in this world were in a state of panic.
The inscription said:
During the Spring Festival, Xia Zhaozhao had lost something; he had lost something, and it was not enough for him to write.
The emperor was different, the world shifted, the sun and moon were unknown, and the world was reversed.
The river from the north, droughts from the wall of the city, disaster; from the sky, flying Feather, he was the only one.
"White Rainbow Piercing Sun?" Ke Bozhao squinted his eyes and turned to look at Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing was very clear in his heart. He was obviously hinting at Dongfang Weiming. Then there was the Jiangbei drought, and then there was the flood. There was no need to guess what was on the side. The White Rainbow Sky-Piercing Sun was likely to be the most clear on the situation in the Venerate Heavens Sect. The white rainbow pierced through the sun, signifying that someone wanted to usurp the throne and take its place! This game is really cruel! Both hinting that she was the ruler of a country that fell, and hinting at the people of the world, all of the symptoms of a country falling came from Dongfang Weiming.
The ceremonial eunuch stepped forward and asked carefully, "Your majesty, is this Heaven's Sacrifice Ceremony still going to take place?"
"It's just a rock. I don't believe that this rock can cause a big wave!" Since it was fished out of the water, then throw it back into the water and pretend like nothing happened. " Zhao Jing straightened his body, "Don't ever bring up this matter again!"
"Yes sir!" The eunuch bowed his head in respect.
The Rites of Heavenly Worship would not stop because of such a rock. Zhao Jing had already announced to the world that he, the legitimate successor to the throne, must complete the Rites of Heavenly Worship no matter what. At the very least, until her goal was achieved, she wouldn't let a single stone tablet mess up her entire plan. So what if it was a white rainbow? If she said no, then no. People in the world said no, she said yes, even if it wasn't, it had to be!
Zhao Jing stepped on the man's ladder, and slowly walked into the great temple. Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan were carefully supporting him from the side, the officials all stood at the side of the hall with their eyes fixated on Zhao Jing who was walking forward. The altar was high up in the sky. The three beasts and six ceremonies were in order.
Waiting until Zhao Jing walked onto the altar, the Prime Minister Ke Bozhao representing the hundred officials read out the sacrificial text, and then burned it.
Worship sounded out for 10,000 miles.
Zhao Jing stood on the altar and watched everything from the bottom. This grand Heaven's Sacrifice ceremony was truly lively. Looking at the different expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials, and then looking at the respectful faces of the citizens, she felt that it wasn't a good thing to be the emperor!
After everyone finished bowing, Zhao Jing would begin to burn incense.
Everything was quiet except for the cold wind.
Zhao Jing held onto the sweet fragrance, his heart silently wishing, for the Emperor's Queen to be able to rule the world, for me, Zhao Jing, to be able to rule the world, to rob the bandits, and to bless the Da Xia Empire to live for ten thousand years without end. The Ancestor of the Zhao Family had a soul and it helped Jing obtain what he wanted.
The moment the emperor offered his incense stick to him, many pairs of eyes were fixated on him. Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan's bodies slightly tensed up. The bystanders did not know what would happen next, but they were well aware of what was happening.
Zhao Jing stood up, his heart already jumping to his throat.
The fragrance entered into the treasure cauldron that was covered in gold.
In that moment, Zhao Jing hesitated for a moment, but he still pretended that nothing had happened.
The chief eunuch shouted, "Esteemed wangfei, please …"
But before the eunuch could finish his words, the precious cauldron behind Zhao Jing exploded with a "boom", and instantly turned to ashes. This explosive sound scared everyone senseless and they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Zhao Jing felt an explosion in his ears, as if everything in the world had disappeared. She was bewitched by the soot and the sound of the explosion shook her eardrums. Her mind went blank for a moment. She didn't know the pain, but she felt as if something was burning hot and running down the back of her neck. When the wind blew, his body became even colder! She used all her strength to open her eyes wide and look at the panicking Wei Shuge, who was just flying over, but was actually brushed aside by Dongfang Weiming.
Dongfang Weiming's eyes reddened.
After that, Zhao Jing no longer knew anything.
What he didn't know was that the rest of the palace was a mess. Dongfang Weiming immediately brought Zhao Jing back to the Imperial Palace, as he was in charge of handling the matter of the explosion. After all, he could not ignore this matter. If he gave all of his authority to Ke Bozhao and the rest, it would bring about countless problems. Therefore, this was something that Dongfang Weiming's people must definitely take part in. They must not just stand by and do nothing, or else, in the end, he would not be able to escape.
Because it was winter and they wore thick clothes, Zhao Jing's body was unharmed. This was something that was planned a long time ago, if not, Zhao Jing would not be able to protect her. It was only because the back of his head had been hit by the broken fragments of the precious cauldron that some of his head had been scratched, causing him to fall unconscious.
The first thing Wei Shuge did when he returned to the palace was to notify Imperial Physician Xiao Yuan.
Imperial Physician Xiao saluted. "Reporting to Regent, Your Majesty only suffered superficial wounds, probably due to excessive shock that he fainted. It's fine if we take a break! " As he said that, Imperial Physician Xiao glanced at Zhao Jing, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Luckily Zhao Jing was wearing a gold crown, as the crown drooped the curtains and blocked some of the fragments, otherwise, there would be more than just one or two pieces on the back of his head.
Speaking of which, My Emperor was truly blessed by the heavens.
No one knew how this matter would end. They only felt that if they thoroughly investigated it, there would definitely be a "I would rather kill 1000 by mistake than to let one go" thought. At that time, anyone who had anything to do with the Sacrifice of Heaven might not be able to escape.
Fortunately, the emperor was fine. It was just a superficial wound. He had been frightened!
In this way, everyone would connect this matter of regicide with the previous monolith inscriptions. After exiting the monolith, there were people who began to kill the monarch, further verifying the warning function of the monolith. For a while, the whole world was arguing and guessing who was the mastermind behind all of this.
If one were to say that they really dared to kill the emperor, it was actually more suspicious than Dongfang Weiming for Qi Family and Qi Family. There was no silver here. The more he tried to figure out the connection, the more suspicious he became. The inscription pointed directly at the Regent's Mansion. If the Emperor were to be assassinated, and the Emperor were to die, then the biggest beneficiaries would be Qi Family and Prime Minister's Estate.
After all, the emperor was supported by his Regent's Mansion, so even if they wanted to kill him, they didn't have to do it in broad daylight.
The city was heavily guarded. The city gates were closed, the palace gates were locked, and assassins were thoroughly investigated.
The commoners had all closed their doors and were hiding at home. The bustling streets of the capital were now even more empty. No one dared to loiter around the streets of the capital anymore. If they were caught capturing people on the streets, they would inevitably be tortured. If they couldn't take the punishment and were humiliated into submission, it would be a grave crime to put on the title of Emperor, and they would be sentenced to nine familial extermination!
"Master?" Zhou Zhiji called out in a low voice.
Dongfang Weiming stood with his hands behind his back, standing in the corridor outside Qianyuan Hall, his face dark as he listened to the hurried footsteps, obviously trying his best to suppress the anger in his body. He looked at Zhou Zhiji coldly, and continued speaking indifferently, "Speak!"
"After finding out about Ministry Of Rites President Du Hemiing, some time ago, he had a very close contact with the officials of the capital. "Because there is currently no solid evidence, we still have to continue investigating." Zhou Zhiji bowed, "Master, do you think Du Hemiing is really going to do something?"
"You want to ask, what exactly do Qi Yunshan and Ke Bozhao want to do?" Dongfang Weiming exhaled a long breath, and looked back at the tightly shut Bedchamber gate, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. The moment the cauldron exploded, he felt that his mind was completely blank, he couldn't think of anything, and could only look at Zhao Jing's bloodied face. At that moment, he was actually so afraid of death!
It was laughable to think that even the victorious general, who dominated the battlefield, had a time where he was afraid of death.
Zhou Zhiji lowered his head, "Master, this matter is not simple. Someone had done such a thing, first the stone tablet, then the assassination, it seems to be an attack on our Regent's Mansion. "Elder, let's …"
"Then tell me, who have the guts to set up this trap for our Regent's Mansion?" Dongfang Weiming squinted his eyes, "I'm afraid, it's not that simple!" If they were going to assassinate the Emperor, there was no need for them to gather so many people, so Dongfang Weiming felt that they were not here for him! Suddenly, he straightened his body and seemed to have understood something.
In the next moment, Dongfang Weiming looked at Zhou Zhiji meaningfully and laughed: "Playing with me, you're still a little too inexperienced!" After he finished speaking, he leaned down and whispered a few sentences into Zhou Zhiji's ear.
Zhou Zhiji's face changed, "How can this be …"
"Go!" Dongfang Weiming said coldly.
"Yes sir!" Zhou Zhiji saluted and retreated.
Du Hemiing was naturally in a state of panic since he was being controlled. He hurriedly ordered his men to sneak out to deliver a letter to Taifu Mansion.
However, Qi Yunshan was not anxious, and was still tidying up his Plum Blossom. Ke Bozhao came in from the back door and was brought into the garden by the guard. Looking at Qi Yunshan who was still content and content, Ke Bozhao had a rough idea in his heart.
"Mentor!" Ke Bozhao bowed, "Right now, the capital is in a mess, Master is free to do whatever you want with me."
"Are you talking about Du Hemiing?" Qi Yunshan waved his hand, and the protector immediately gave the letter that Du Hemiing sent over to him for help. Qi Yunshan laughed, "See for yourself! If he can save us, we can save him, but if we can't, we can change him. He has been a Ministry Of Rites Scholar for so many years, and his face looks too familiar, he has long been the focus of attention. " The implied meaning was obvious.
Ke Bozhao frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand, he then started to think about how to handle it, "Master, you mean …"
"Literally!" Qi Yunshan sighed, "Look at all these plum blossoms, they look extremely good right now. But if I don't cut off those dead branches and fallen leaves, how would I be able to blossom this courtyard full of flowers next winter? If you want to blossom well, you have to prune often. Every single branch is growing year after year, and every single flower is blooming at the same time. If you don't have any surprises, it will become extremely boring. "
Cobb understood tacitly, "Bozhao understands!"
"Did you go to the Regent's Mansion?" With a "kacha" sound, Qi Yunshan cut off a dead branch and stared coldly at Ke Bozhao.
Ke Bozhao nodded, "He's gone, I believe we'll find him soon!"
