I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 1394 - 681: Destiny Is Mine! (Part 2)

Yes, in fact, many forces were not thinking about rebelling now; they believed the Sima Family could last for a few more decades, but unfortunately, things did not go as they wished.

First, the Taoist Divine Palace caused a great disturbance in the Capital, resulting in the complete loss of royal prestige.

This made many people realize that the Sima Family was actually... just like that.

They couldn't even retain the Taoist Divine Palace, so how could they talk about securing the world?

Many people believe the Liangshan battle was the starting point of the world's chaos and the largest push, but in fact, to those with clear eyes, when the Taoist Divine Palace stirred up trouble in the Capital and withdrew unscathed, and the court couldn't do anything about it, the demise of the Sima Family had already begun to accelerate!

Seventy thousand Northern Barbarians invaded, King Liang took thirty thousand troops to face the national crisis, leveraging the power of Wudang Mountain and the Liangzhou Jianghu, resulting in a mutual defeat.

The court sat by and watched as the tigers fought.

This further revealed the Sima Family's narrow-mindedness to everyone.

They couldn't even tolerate their own people, preferring to give to outside enemies rather than their own ministers, even deliberately weakening them. Such a person does not deserve to be the master of the Central Plains dynasty.

No matter how bad your governance looks, many people, including some military generals and officials, wouldn't say anything.

But...

It looked so bad!

Under the secret manipulation of various forces, the court completely lost the people's hearts in the North.

This was the second step in driving the current world trends.

Comparisons are always feared.

Many strong people have lived from the era of former Chu to now, and although many people once harshly criticized the former Chu, secretly nibbling away at it, they truly admired the Xiang Family's magnanimity.

Grand Ancestor of Chu is too far in the past to discuss, but the demon-slaying war five hundred years ago is a very typical example.

At that time, over hundreds of years in the Da Chu Calendar, it reached its true peak, with several Immortal Sects assisting, it could be said to dominate the world; even the Spirit Mountain of the Western Regions dared not oppose the court.

But the Martial Emperor made a decisive decision, taking advantage of the dynasty's prosperity, boldly attacking the Southern Border demon clan, crushing them so they did not dare to look northward for five hundred years.

This was a turning point, leading the Xiang Family from prosperity to decline due to this battle.

It wasn't until hundreds of years later that they perished.

Even at the moment of their demise, the Xiang Family's strength on the northern and southern borders never retreated to aid them.

Perhaps this wasn't the decisive force, but their mindset could be seen at a glance.

Question is, does the Sima Family... have such courage and magnanimity?

Therefore, Chen Yuan felt that the Great Jin, from its founding, had already started heading towards its demise.

The Liangshan battle, earth-shattering.

Even the immortals of the Sima Family couldn't do anything against Liangshan. How could such a court not arouse people's greed?

This was the third step of the world's movements, and the most crucial one.

Within a matter of days, Shushan acted again.

The demon clan, dormant for five hundred years, showed their fangs again, but they were forcibly repelled by Shushan, marking this as a milestone battle.

Shushan, Taoist Divine Palace, Biyou Palace, the three major forces seemingly allied in secrecy, brazenly displaying their ambitions, and those people were finding it hard to endure any longer.

Coincidentally....

At this time, the court personally made a push, intending to offer sacrifices to heaven and become the Human Emperor!

This time, various forces could no longer hold back.

Many people understood that if they disrupted the sacrifices to heaven, then... it would be the beginning of the world's chaos!

The next person to establish dominance in the Central Plains would also emerge.

In the wake of various events, the people of the world lost faith in the court and no longer wished to sacrifice for such a court.

Not only was the Jianghu preparing, but even the officialdom was also getting ready.

The court's gathering of forces and withdrawal to the four states of the Central Plains could not be hidden from those with knowledge; those who were transferred are trustworthy people, so what about those who remain?

To be cannon fodder?

Many people are unwilling!

Provincial governors, Assistant Generals, Capital Commandants, even the most loyal Heavenly Patrol Envoys of the court were secretly colluding with various forces, which is one reason why Chen Yuan easily won many hearts.

One could say, from the moment Jingtai declared the intention to offer sacrifices to heaven and ascend as the Human Emperor, all the ambitious people began their preparations!

However, would Jingtai not anticipate these reactions?

Divine Capital City, in the Harem. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Inside Chunhua Palace.

Noble Consort Yang sat upright in the uppermost position, with Fourth Prince Sima Ke and Princess Pingyang on the left and right below her, none of their faces showing any trace of happiness.

In fact, not only within Chunhua Palace, but the entire Harem, and even the entire Imperial Palace, was like this.

The undercurrents in the Jianghu were surging, no, to be precise, the currents were rising openly, and many people and forces were condemning the Emperor's offering of sacrifices to heaven with their words.

In the court, those with guts wrote directly to the throne, but the results were either confiscation and exile or their official ranks being abolished.

Tens of thousands of Imperial Guards, over ten thousand Heavenly Patrol Guards, tightly suppressed any disloyal hearts.

The heavens... were about to change!

And once they did, the first affected would be these royal family members and concubines of the Harem.

Noble Consort Yang was uneasy, wanting to find someone to rely on, but... that person was not in the Capital, nor summoned by secret edict, still serving as an official in the south.

And this actually already indicated some things.

Chen Yuan... wanted to rebel too!

And with Noble Consort Yang and her son placing their hopes on him, how could they be at ease?

Sima Ke had even been having nightmares these past few days, fearing Chen Yuan would rise up in rebellion, and his close connection would lead to him being directly labeled as a waste.

Yang Huanyu would also be given three feet of white silk and a cup of poison wine.

"Ke'er, has he... replied over there?"

Noble Consort Yang took a deep breath, forcibly maintaining her composure as she asked.
