The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 237

The major events of the country lie in sacrifice and Rong.

The Emperor's holding of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is undoubtedly an extremely sensational event, especially now that rumors are spreading so widely. This upcoming Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony has attracted the attention of countless people.

Ten days later, the sacrificial ceremony was held as scheduled.

Outside Chang'an City, in the northern suburbs is the Temple of Heaven.

Today's ceremony to worship the heaven, although the sun is scorching in the sky, the people of the entire Chang'an City came to watch this ceremony despite the scorching sun.

The time has not yet come, Li Chengdao has not yet arrived at the altar, but tens of thousands of Chang'an City people have gathered under the altar, and there is a loud noise.

"This time Heaven has punished the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty's sincere sacrifice to Heaven will surely resolve the disaster!"

"The drought is followed by the locust plague. It must be the emperor who has lost his virtue and made God unhappy..."

"May all the dangers of our Tang Dynasty be turned into good fortune. Your Majesty is a rare wise king!"

"Mingjun? If you are Mingjun, how can you cause disaster from heaven?"

"You stupid thing, shut up! Without Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty would have been troubled by foreign barbarians!"

"I heard that His Majesty called for the culling of edible locusts. Locusts are the messengers of the Locust God. How can we cull them!"

"Alas, I hope the Locust God will not be angry because of the Emperor's disrespectful behavior."

……

The people were talking a lot and the audience was noisy.

At this moment, the crowd of officials was suddenly separated by two groups of soldiers, clearing a wide road.

Li Chengdao was dressed in heavy imperial robes. He did not ride in a jade chariot. He came on foot and walked towards the altar, with hundreds of civil and military officials following behind him.

"Look, it's Your Majesty!"

"Caomin greets His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is here to personally preside over the sacrifice to heaven!"

……

The people on both sides of the road knelt on the ground one after another, all looking excited.

However, there were also some people who had unhappy expressions on their faces and knelt down reluctantly. It was obvious that they had to kneel because of the etiquette.

Li Chengdao walked through the crowd and then climbed onto the altar alone.

At this moment, a commoner suddenly stood up, threw an egg at Li Chengdao, and cursed angrily: "You have no virtue and you are a fool!"

This sudden scene shocked countless people and officials!
"presumptuous!!"

After the assassination of Li Chengqian, Feng Li had become much more alert. He directly blocked the egg, and then commanded the guards on the left and right to angrily: "Get this madman!"

"promise!"

Needless to say, Feng Liduo said, two guards immediately rushed into the crowd, grabbed the young man, and then pressed him to the ground.

There was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and many people rushed out to rescue the young man.

However, Feng Li pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang and said coldly: "The guards obey the order! Anyone who acts strangely will be treated as an assassin and will be killed without mercy!"

"Chong-"

There was a uniform sound of drawing swords, and these guards, who were veterans of the White Robe Army, showed their qualities at this moment. They all drew out the long swords at their waists, staring coldly at those who were about to get up, with their hands horizontally crossed. The knife reflected a chilling light in the sunlight.The power of the imperial guard was astonishing, and the scene was immediately suppressed, and those people no longer dared to make any move.

At this time, Li Chengdao lowered his head and looked over. Feng Li knelt down on one knee and said: "The madman has been captured. Please give your Majesty's order on how to deal with it!"

Li Chengdao ignored Feng Li, but turned his attention to the young man who was pinned to the ground, and said calmly: "Why did you do this?"

Being stared at by Li Chengdao's calm eyes, this young man who was already prepared to die felt a sense of fear for some unknown reason.

But he immediately put an end to this cowardly thought, and then sneered: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been ignorant and ignorant, which will lead to disasters from heaven! Now there is a severe drought, there is no rain in April, and the ground is thousands of miles bare. The grass and trees were barren; but before the drought was over, the locust plague broke out again, affecting many parts of the country."

"If the emperor hadn't been ungrateful, how could he have caused a locust plague and a drought?"

"Thousands of people have suffered so much because of you alone. Is it wrong to call you a coward?"

The young man spoke louder and louder, sounding confident and confident.

Even among the people around him, many began to whisper, obviously moved by his words.

Feng Li and the surrounding guards wanted to go up and rip this guy's mouth off, but Li Chengdao didn't give the order and they didn't dare to act rashly.

"That's your reason?"

Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows and said.

The young man sneered and said: "Yes, I have finished what I said. I know that offending the emperor is a capital crime. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, it is up to you!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and looked like he was willing to die generously.

Li Chengdao narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Let's not talk about your rudeness for now. I have a question to ask you. If you answer it, I will spare you the death penalty."

When the young man heard this, his heart moved and he opened his eyes.

Then he heard Li Chengdao say: "The question I want to ask you is very simple, that is, please tell me what things I have done before and after I ascended the throne that were detrimental to the Tang Dynasty and were ignorant and unethical that harmed the people. "

"Do you even need to ask? Of course—"

The young man was about to open his mouth to answer, but his voice stopped suddenly and his expression froze.

What fault did Li Chengdao have?Are there any actions that are not conducive to the Tang Dynasty and the people?Is there any foolish behavior?

Destroy the Turks in the north, retreat to Tibet in the west, and bring all nations to come to court.

Reduce agricultural taxes, improve the status of businessmen, and implement the Green Crops Law, the One Whip Law, and the Land Clearance Law to protect the interests of the people.

Reforming the imperial examinations will open the door for common people all over the world, break the monopoly of aristocratic families, and benefit the people.

Before the severe drought, millions of dollars were allocated to prepare for the drought. As a result, no famine occurred during this drought, and no one died of starvation!
As for fault, what fault is there?
absolutely not!

The young man was speechless because he found that he could not find anything wrong with Li Chengdao. What Li Chengdao did could be called a saint!
But if Li Chengdao had no fault, why would such a disaster happen?

"I ask you, what is my fault?"

Li Chengdao asked again.

The young man's face was pale, either from heat or nervousness, and there was sweat pouring down his face.

Li Chengdao sneered, then turned his gaze to the tens of thousands of people in the audience, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"I stand here today and dare to say to all the people of the Tang Dynasty that I am not wrong!"
