He even had the astrological station consult with him.

Everyone at the astrology desk says it's auspicious.

Only the young Taoist priest, every time he divined, predicted misfortune.

Very bad omen.

Just like when he became a disciple of the Celestial Master, he performed divination for the country for the first time.

However, each of those consecutive divinations resulted in a very auspicious sign.

These days, every divination I do get is bad.

An unsolvable curse.

Even the emperor said that if something is truly ominous, as long as he says it is auspicious, then it is auspicious.

But he wouldn't say it, because he said the Celestial Master wouldn't lie.

The emperor was furious.

The ministers were extremely cautious, fearing they might offend the emperor.

Even within the imperial city, one could feel a somber, oppressive atmosphere.

On the third day after the ominous divination, an army of 250,000 men gathered outside the imperial city.

Of these, 150,000 were from the Gu family's 300,000-strong army.

General Gu brought back half of them, and the other half was used to guard the frontier.

The remaining 100,000 was brought by Gu Zhixin.

The officials accused the Gu family of plotting a rebellion.

Gu Zhi, mounted on her horse, pointed her spear at the Marquis of Jinyuan's residence, saying that the Marquis of Jinyuan's residence was attempting a rebellion, and that the Gu family, as loyal subjects, had to protect the emperor.

The Liu family was also surrounded by government troops, though not the emperor's soldiers.

Overnight, the other soldiers stationed in the imperial city and the palace gate guards formed three factions.

Just as war was about to break out, a commotion erupted from the palace.

The emperor has been killed!

The emperor's personal eunuch did not find the emperor in his bedchamber early in the morning, nor in the empress's or other concubines' quarters.

When they found the front hall, they saw the emperor, dressed in a golden undergarment, with a spear piercing his body and pinning him to the Golden Palace.

Chaos erupted in the palace.

At the same time, the army outside the city stormed into the imperial city.

Chaos erupted in the imperial city.

At that moment, Su Deng, Konghou, and Yina stood on the rooftop of the highest point in the imperial city, watching this scene.

Beside him were Su Muye, whom Su Deng had secretly brought out beforehand, and Yan Sizhan.

Yina would steal glances at Yan Sizhan from time to time; she knew that it was Yan Sizhan who had killed the emperor.

Only Yan Sizhan could do it so quietly.

Inside the palace, at the Celestial Master's Platform.

The shadow entered the hall.

On the pillar in the center of the hall, Liu Sangua was bound to the pillar with chains piercing his shoulder blades, his white robe stained red with blood.

The shadow told him about what was happening outside.

Liu Sangua paused for a moment, and immediately thought of Su Deng.

His plan did not include killing the emperor directly.

Because the emperor was afraid of death, he was secretly accompanied by many guards, making it extremely difficult to assassinate him.

Only Su Deng could do that.

The shadow drew his sword and cut the chains binding him. "My sister was taken away and rescued by the Sixth Princess."

When the emperor died, chaos erupted in the palace.

The Sixth Princess had already been escorted out by Gu Zhi.

“You are no longer anyone’s puppet. You are free.” Liu Sangua sat weakly on the ground. “You shouldn’t have come back.”

“Actually, you are a good master, but we are all helpless.” Shadow took out medicine from his pocket, poured it on his wound, helped him sit up, and lowered his eyes to say, “If we are really headed for destruction, I want to see my end from you.”

Liu Sangua looked up and smiled, "Leaving the palace now, taking your sister and leaving Da Jin, is the best outcome."

The shadow paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."

He recently felt that this young Taoist master was different from before.

Especially a few days ago, Liu Suan went to see the emperor, and after saying something, the emperor let him go home.

Liu stayed at home for two days, keeping a close watch on him the whole time.

Liu Suan knelt before his parents, weeping bitterly, and then spoke of the matter of the dead plotting rebellion.

He did not tell the emperor about this.

In fact, he did not want to help the emperor monitor Liu Suan; he even felt that Liu Suan was a pitiful person from the bottom of his heart.

He was neither a palace guard nor a death squad member; he was just a secret guard who had been captured and trained since childhood. The emperor used his sister to threaten him into monitoring Liu Suan.

Today, the emperor is dead, and his sister is safe.

Shadow bent down and helped Liu Sangua up. "Let's go, I'll take you out."

Liu Sangua asked, "Why don't you leave?"

“You’re not asking a question you already know the answer to.” The shadow sneered. “I have poison in my body, and with the emperor dead, there’s no antidote left.”

In order to better control the emperor, in addition to capturing his sister, he also poisoned him, giving him the antidote every three days.

The emperor dies today, but he has two days left to live.

“Let’s go,” the shadow said. “Let me be your bodyguard properly, completely, and without any ulterior motives.”

This palace coup was very sudden, and the capital city was thrown into chaos.

But things settled down quickly.

With the emperor dead and the court leaderless, General Gu went straight into the palace, ignoring all the princes and nobles, and ascended the throne himself.

None of the court officials dared to refute this.

Marquis Jinyuan and those princes did have some who were dissatisfied, but they were directly suppressed by the army, and the speed was so fast that no one could react.

Gu Zhi went directly to Li Hengzhao, the Crown Prince, and deposed him, exposed his crimes, and killed him in one fell swoop, shaking the entire palace and imperial city.

It was seven days later when the new emperor officially ascended the throne and the new dynasty's laws were established.

The Liu family was at peace, and Liu Suan remained a young celestial master.

Some people began to speculate that the ominous divination Liu had given earlier was fake, and that his purpose was to plot a rebellion.

However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the divination given by the young celestial master was still ominous.

The Great Jin Dynasty is ominous.

It is destined for destruction, and there is no turning back.

Panic gripped the capital.

But amidst this panic, there is a group of people who are completely unconcerned.

For example, the Liu family.

Family-oriented.
