MTL - My Brother is a Big Shot-Chapter 133 System Brother 12
The successive scourges made the people of the court panic.
Shang Liyuan's prestige in the eyes of Baiguan has been greatly reduced, and many people have claimed that he is not able to go to court. Even the Imperial Guard and the Capital Guard Army under his control have begun to lose their minds, let alone the common people.
Shang Liyuan was shocked and angry, but there was nothing he could do. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. It seems that overnight, everything is out of control.
"Your Majesty, for today's plan, only when Your Majesty writes an edict of sin and apologizes to the heavens and the people of the world can we stabilize the hearts of the people," Lin Wenxiu suggested.
In the past dynasties, in the event of natural and man-made disasters, there are many emperors who wrote their own edicts. This is also a way to reassure people.
Because Yan Shu hasn't started Lin Wenxiu yet, and Lin Wenxiu doesn't know her intentions, he is still doing his due diligence as his prime minister. Although he also criticized Shang Liyuan, he knew that if something happened to Shang Liyuan, it would inevitably cause chaos in the world, and the people would suffer. So after much thought, he made this suggestion.
But Shang Liyuan was hesitant, because once he wrote an edict of guilt, he admitted that he was indeed guilty and that the punishment from heaven was his own. This made him, who had always been conceited, unacceptable.
However, when he was still hesitating whether to write an edict, Yan Qing had already made a decision for him.
In the most prosperous street in the capital, a huge stone tablet suddenly appeared overnight. Three words are engraved on the stone tablet: The Book of Hundred Sins.
Below is a dense list of Shang Luyuan's crimes, no more or no less, just a hundred.
The mutilation of siblings, the assassination of Zhongliang, the indiscriminate killing of innocents... These are not uncommon, and they have been discussed by people when the previous scourge appeared.
But in addition to this, there is actually a matter of occupying the concubine in vain! And, in order to cover up the infertility, he asked the guards to take the place of his concubine in order to borrow a child!
When such an explosive news came out, everyone who saw it was stunned.
Lian Fuquan is the most beautiful woman in the world, and because she entered the palace of the first emperor, she has made many people feel sorry for her. But no one could have imagined that Shang Lianyuan would go against the world and hide Lian Fuchuan in his palace when the late emperor's body was still cold, and he also favored the harem, soaring all the way up to the position of noble concubine.
This is not to mention, because he is infertile, for the sake of his offspring, he even let the guards favor the concubine instead of him!
Should it be said that he was a big deal, or should it be said that he was outrageously stupid? He actually took the initiative to have someone wear a cuckold? !
This kind of behavior is simply shocking and stunned.
While the minister in the court was incredulous, he thought of the scourge of heaven, and then coupled with the provocation of people with a heart, he gradually had some diabolical thoughts.
- Such a person with bad virtues is indeed unworthy of being an emperor. No wonder the heaven will send a warning of divine condemnation.
In this case, why not follow the will of God and let the emperor abdicate and let the virtuous?
As soon as this thought came out, it could no longer be restrained, and many people began to think about the possibility of this operation.
The dark tide in the previous dynasty was surging, and the harem also set off a huge wave.
The Book of Hundred Sins had a greater impact on the harem concubines. The emperor actually let the guards favor the concubine on his behalf? !
Although the "Book of Hundred Sins" said that he only chose a concubine who was easily fertile to bear heirs, it still made all the concubines startled and angry.
Both are concubines, if this happens to one of them, the others will also inevitably be arranged. Before entering the palace, they were also noble ladies from aristocratic families, how could they tolerate being abused like this!
Especially Li Guiren, how surprised she was when she was diagnosed with pregnancy, and how frightened she was now. Then was frightened and miscarried.
A miscarriage is actually a good thing. If this child is born, it is destined to be criticized for the rest of his life.
Shang Liyuan was almost the last person who knew about the Book of Hundred Sins, because no one dared to tell him about it.
It was he who accidentally heard the palace people talking about it before he knew about it. Then, under the shock of his heart, he spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out on the spot.
The last thought before falling into a coma was - God is going to kill me...
The Book of Sins lists all his crimes, and even the secrets he desperately hides are unearthed.
He didn't even have a chance to refute, because after a series of divine condemnation, everyone believed in the contents of the "Book of Sins".
What's more, a child he got after enduring the humiliation is still miscarriage. The last glimmer of hope was gone, and even if he denied it, it would be meaningless.
So after he woke up from a coma, he couldn't do anything except stop these rumors in a rage.
Therefore, all those who talked about "God's Retribution" or "Hundred Sins" were ordered to be executed by Shang Liyuan. For a time, blood flowed into rivers inside and outside the palace.
However, the more tyrannical he was, the more determined he was to overthrow him.
What's more, it is the destiny to overthrow Shang Lianyuan now, as today's time is favorable for the people and the people.
Although Shang Liyuan had no heir, and there was no close bloodline in the Shang clan, there were only a few clansmen who were about to leave the five clothes, and they had no sense of existence on weekdays. If it hadn't happened this time, I would never have imagined that they would still exist.
But - who said that the successor must have the surname Shang?
Merchants also took back the throne from others. In the last years of the previous dynasty, when the emperor was incompetent and the world was in chaos, merchants rose up and established a new dynasty.
In the past, the Shang family used the guise of obeying the mandate of heaven, but now the Shang emperor has no virtue, and was warned by the gods one after another with divine condemnation.
So the government and the opposition went up and down, the dark tide was surging, and the ambitious people had already begun to plan secretly.
It's just that no one has stood up and made the rafters for the time being.
There is a kind of calmness that is about to come, just one spark can set off a sky-high flame.
However, before the spark ignited, a strange thing happened in the palace.
It was a sunny day and the sky was clear. Shang Liyuan was furious again in the morning and ordered the execution of the censor who risked his death to advise him. The officials were trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, and the exclamations of human beings were mixed with a few clear bird songs.
Shang Liyuan was full of anger and sent someone out to check.
Soon, the inquirer came back and reported that a group of cranes flew from the sky outside and were flying around the palace.
Crane flying?
The anger on Shang Liyuan's face eased slightly, and then he thought of something, got up and walked down from the dragon chair, and led the hundred officials out of the Hall of State Council.
There are indeed a group of white cranes flying in the sky. These white cranes are beautiful in appearance and surrounded by immortal energy. They really deserve the name of the cranes.
Shang Lianyuan immediately had a calculation.
In the past, various kinds of scourges appeared frequently, saying that he had no virtue and was unworthy of being an emperor. Then, why didn’t he take advantage of this situation to add auspiciousness to his body and rectify his own name?
Since the heaven can send down scourge, naturally it can also send down auspiciousness, right?
So, he immediately shouted loudly, "This is auspiciousness from the sky, bless my business..."
Not to mention, many people really believe it. Although he doubts that the heavens will cast censure for a while, and auspiciousness for a while, he is a little moody, but what he has seen with his own eyes is not enough for anyone to doubt.
Is it because the big business is not exhausted?
Some people doubt it.
However, before Shang Liyuan was excited, the white cranes flying in the sky suddenly dispersed to both sides, and the stars surrounded a huge white crane like the moon.
This white crane is more graceful and has an extraordinary posture. It is the leader at first sight.
What's even more surprising is that with a roll of gold silk in its mouth, it swooped down from the air and placed it on the Temple of Heaven.
Then he fanned his wings, flew back into the air, merged into the queue of cranes, flew around the palace again, and then led the group of cranes to the sky, slowly disappearing.
As if their mission was to deliver that roll of gold and silk.
The stunned people gradually returned to their senses, and everyone's eyes fell on the roll of gold silk.
The Temple of Heaven is the place of worship.
Cranes are generally messengers from heaven.
Then the golden silk sent by a group of cranes was specially placed on the Temple of Heaven, so the meaning it represents is not difficult to imagine.
This is God's will.
As soon as Jinbo appeared, Shang Liyuan had a bad premonition in his heart.
When the gold silk was removed and slowly unfolded, this bad premonition came true.
On the gold and silk, there are only four gilded characters—
Empress Merchant.
