Chapter 206 Conquering Clouds and Wolf Smoke Floating Together
Zhengyun and wolf smoke floated together, as if murderous intent was rising.

With the sound of thunder, the nobles dispersed, and the imperial court launched an expedition to save the people.

I saw Yuwen Chang's expression remained unchanged, and he said every word in a loud voice: "Reporting to the Emperor, there is red rain in Suishan Mountain, and there is a flood of flukes in Dongting. These things may not be human-made, and it is difficult for human power to do this. It is most likely that evil spirits are causing chaos. From then on, Judging from the situation in Ling Yunfeng, I am afraid that the speculation of the demonic chaos has been confirmed, and what I am worried about is that this demonic chaos is not over yet, it is just the beginning. Your Majesty, please be careful and be fully prepared."

"You're saying that the river that drowned General Qin's [-]-strong army was caused by evil spirits. What kind of evil spirits can be so capable of overturning rivers and seas?"

The emperor looked dazed and uncertain.Upon seeing this, Yu Wenchang pondered for a moment and then said: "I dare to have a question, but I don't know whether to ask it or not."

The ministers were silent and stood like wooden piles.

The emperor did not answer, but frowned, looked at the people around him, and showed a bit of displeasure.

"If you have something to say, please say it. If it is useful, then there is no harm in saying it. If it is useless, or it is confusing right and wrong, and fabricating facts, then please ask General Yuwen to think again."

The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense, but Yu Wenchang still looked relaxed and at ease.When the ministers saw him, they couldn't help but worry about him.

I saw Yu Wenchang and Feng Xiaoyu saying: "Your Majesty, have any evil things happened in various places in the past two years?"

As soon as the four words "Yaoxie" come out, it is like a black cloud that echoes between the beams and pillars of the main hall.

The ministers looked at each other in confusion. Gao Lun quietly pushed Yang Fengdan beside him with his elbow. Yang Fengdan raised his hand and hinted with his eyes that Gao Lunmo wanted to speak.

The two of them stood like wooden piles again, motionless.Let this depressing atmosphere echo around.

For a while, even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly in the hall.

There was silence in the court hall, and everyone seemed to be speechless.

The emperor sighed: "Everyone who has something to say, just say it. When you encounter something, no one speaks, it is chilling. Don't worry that you will be punished if you say the wrong thing, just say it."

At this time, a scholar-like official standing near the gate took a small step trembling.

He bowed deeply and saluted, his voice trembled like the wind blowing through the leaves, and he said tremblingly: "Taishi Sima deduced from the celestial phenomena of the nine stars of the Big Dipper that there will be disasters in the world for many years. The stars will not come in when they come in, but they will come out before they come out, and the world will raise troops." What I am worried about is what Sima Taishi said that day. It is a prophecy. Nowadays, the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. If it is really related to the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper, the emperor should have made plans early."

"Nine stars of the Big Dipper?" Gao Lun repeated in a low voice, muttering to himself, his eyebrows tightly knitted together.

"What should we do?" Situ Nan on the side turned towards Gao Lun. The two shook their heads, lowered their heads again, and each took a small step towards the outside of themselves, so that the head of the official in front of them could block them. s face.

"That's right. What should we do? This Sima Taishi died strangely at the time. If what Taishi said was true, wouldn't it be true? When will there be peace in this world again?"

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.The scheming ministers simply said nothing, wishing they could not be seen in the court.

"The whereabouts of the eldest prince are unknown now. What should we do?"

"Yes, the third prince is not in the court either. How could he have thought that such a thing would happen."

The ministers all said the same thing, but they just sighed and didn't know what to do.

The emperor waved his hand, and everyone became quiet.He cleared his throat again, but he could still hear that his voice had become hoarse inexplicably, as if his throat was blocked by the invisible black mist in the hall. The emperor said: "That's enough, that's enough. Please don't talk about it below." , what's the use of these comments and complaints? Do you think I can't hear anything when I'm sitting up there? Or do you think you can escape? I can't see that you all haven't made up your mind, just thinking about how not to make mistakes? If you speak out, no one will blame you. If anyone doesn't speak clearly today, we will be careful to convict you one by one." Seeing that the emperor Long Yan was angry, the father-in-law who was standing aside took a step forward and said: "You Did you hear everything clearly? If not, the old minister will repeat it to everyone."

Everyone bowed and nodded quickly, their heads bowed like mushrooms in the rain.

"I understand, my lord."

"No, no." The emperor shook his hand again and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"They didn't hear clearly. Please repeat what you just said to them again so that they can remember it and how they should speak in the hall in the future."

Manager Ji agreed, turned around and said, "Ministers, please listen carefully. The emperor just said it. Say what you have to say. No one will blame you. If anyone doesn't speak clearly today, be careful to tell them one by one." You condemn.

Anyone who can't speak well will be judged and punished. Please think clearly about what to say and what not to say.

If you know something, say it clearly. If you don’t know, don’t bring the hearsay to this hall. There is no need for those rumors that everyone can make up in the hall, let alone random speculations. Yaoxie, did you all hear clearly? "

The emperor nodded frequently.

"Yes, yes, did Manager Ji make it clear?"

There was another deafening response from all the ministers, "Master, please hear me clearly."

The emperor leaned back and immediately sat on the dragon chair again. He murmured in a low voice, and Manager Ji immediately listened with understanding.

"Who was the person who said those words just now?" the emperor asked in a low voice.

Manager Ji bowed and whispered: "Back to the emperor, that person is Zhao Ru. He couldn't go to court a few months ago. After Situ Taishi died, he had the opportunity to go to court and take over the post of Situ Taishi. It seems that he is still the eldest prince. It’s decided.”

"Zhao Ru?" The emperor repeated.

"Hey, yes, if I remember correctly, my name should be Zhao Ru. I still remember that Zhao Ru has an older brother named Zhao Fu."

"Zhao Fu?" The emperor said to himself.

"Ah, look at my memory, it's him. It's him. Zhao Ru's brother is General Zhao Fu who followed General Qin to Lingyun Peak this time."

The emperor was obviously a little surprised.He coughed slightly and signaled Manager Ji to step back.

He asked Zhao Ru, who was still standing there with his face lowered: "Zhao Ru, what do you mean by this? Tell everyone clearly. Don't say what everyone knows, say what you don't know."

"Your Majesty, Sima Taishi didn't explain this matter clearly before his death, and I don't know much about it. It's just postponed from the Big Dipper Nine Stars themselves. This is a foreshadowing."

"Don't be hesitant, just say what you have to say."

The emperor ordered.
