Chapter 27 Death
The people of the Dayu Dynasty had a kind of awe for miracles. After hearing the exclamation of the novice monk in the temple, everyone gathered in the courtyard where Su Chenyu lived with umbrellas, regardless of the drizzling rain.
The old tree was split by thunder, and the lightning burned the roots of the old tree. Because of the rain, the fire has been extinguished, but the smell of burning still remains in the air.
The people gathered here were looking at the scene in front of them in shock.
Emperor Jing of Wei and the Empress heard the noise and rushed over.
Emperor Jing of Wei looked unhappy. He had just heard Chen Lai Fu's report of what had happened. Such an incident happening on the eve of the sacrificial ceremony was a bad omen.
"Is this where Princess Fengyi lives?" The Queen asked even though she knew the answer.
"yes."
"Is Master Fengyi injured?"
As soon as the Queen finished asking, the door of the side room opened and Su Chenyu walked out, with Nanny Xu following behind her, holding an umbrella for her.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not injured." Compared to everyone else's confusion, Su Chenyu was very calm and composed, as if it was not something that happened in her yard.
Lian Shizhao stepped forward, his eyes full of malice as he looked at Su Chenyu: "Your Majesty, the lightning that struck the old tree is a punishment from heaven. This is a warning from heaven, and there will be disaster."
Ji Guoshi said, "Your Majesty, this old tree has been in the Huguo Temple for decades. It has been in trouble before. It just so happened that Master Fengyi was staying here today, and the tree was struck by lightning. In order to protect the fate of our Great Yu country, please pay attention to it."
Many civil officials came forward to plead for the order, kneeling in the rain, and their intention was obvious, they wanted Emperor Jing of Wei to get rid of Su Chenyu.
Su Chenyu looked at the civil officials kneeling on the ground to plead: "Are you saying that the lightning that struck the old tree is a warning from God to me?"
"Master Fengyi, there were falling rocks on the way up the mountain today. Master Ji has already said that it was a disaster. You did not attend the previous sacrificial ceremonies, but something went wrong this time. I, your old minister, cannot help but be suspicious." There was deep hatred in Master Ji's eyes. It was because of Su Chenyu that his son became a laughing stock among the people of the entire capital.
"Master, if you really care about Dayu's long-standing foundation, you should sacrifice yourself." The civil officials were forcing Su Chenyu to die. "Your Majesty, Master Fengyi is a disaster star. If he lives, he will definitely destroy Dayu's national destiny."
Emperor Jing of Wei did not agree immediately: "Perhaps all this is just a coincidence. Do you know what crime it is to dare to say that the emperor is a disaster star?"
"Your Majesty." Ji Chen appeared at some point, just when everyone was in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Emperor Jing of Wei looked at Ji Chen with some displeasure in his eyes: "Master, do you have any instructions for me?"
Everyone in the room performed the monk's ceremony: "Your Majesty, I divined before the sacrificial ceremony, and the hexagram showed that Dayu was facing a disaster star, and a phoenix was coming, which was actually bad luck. The warning from the wood and stone is the mercy of God to Dayu."
The phoenix is coming, which naturally refers to the master of Fengyi. Ji Qi is telling everyone that Su Chenyu is the disaster star he calculated.
The chief envoy of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory knelt down in panic and said, "Your Majesty, I observed the stars last night and saw the evil star shifting and dark clouds covering the sun. If the evil star is not removed, Dayu will be in great trouble."
"Your Majesty, please grant the death penalty to Master Fengyi." Many civil officials once again begged Emperor Jing of Wei for permission.
Emperor Jing of Wei looked at Su Chenyu. Before, he had not realized that Su Chenyu was so similar to Rongzhen. But from some moment on, he found that Su Chenyu was like another Rongzhen.
