Chapter 45 Wait a minute, Little Imperial Master, take it easy

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Jiujun Mountain.

As soon as Yuan Ruan was carried off the carriage, he saw a crowd of court officials in front of the carriage and tens of thousands of ordinary people in the back.

Before she had time to get nervous, the emperor picked her up and carried her up the stairs.

After walking about ninety-nine steps, the two arrived at a flat area.

This place is made of pieces of white jade, and it looks spotless at first glance. There is a two-meter-high dragon-shaped pillar on each of the four sides, and there are unlit candles on the top of the pillars.

In the center of the white jade stone is a bronze vessel with three incense sticks inserted in it. In front of the bronze vessel are some lambs, pigs, calves and other livestock.

The Taizhu in a white silk robe was fiddling with the manuscript paper in his hand, while the supervisor of Qintianjian and others were holding compasses and calculating the positions of the constellations in the sky.

The emperor placed Yuanruan on a soft cushion in the center and put a crown that only the imperial teacher could wear on her head.

At this time, there was a faint smoke, and the sacrifice began to bleed. Suddenly, the warden came over and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Yuanruan's heart tightened.

【Hiss, a little nervous.】

The emperor paused when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to pinch Yuanruan's cheek: "Just take a nap, it's just a formality."

Yuan Ruan was actually stiffened when he heard this: [No. The Imperial Master has a very high status in Daxia. My brother will have to work very hard to get the court officials to agree. I can't embarrass my brother. I have to convince the court officials.]

System: [Attack the host! Get more! ]

The supervisor staggered and almost burst into tears, "Your Majesty, we all believe in you. The young imperial teacher deserves the title." He looked at the emperor pleadingly, his eyes full of sorrow, "Please persuade this naughty child to stop causing trouble!"

Yuanruan was a little confused.

In fact, Yuan Ruan's voice was heard by a wide range of people. Not only the prince's carriage heard it, but also several carriages behind carrying court officials heard it, and they were all deeply worried about this magical power.

Therefore, when the supervisor heard the system say to use more supernatural powers.

It's really no different from a terrorist declaration.

The emperor simply glanced at the supervisor in a warning tone and said, "Take good care of Jiu'er and do your part."

After saying that, he turned around and slowly walked down the stairs.

As soon as the emperor walked down the jade steps, the court officials rushed up.

"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Wang's old face was filled with worry. He looked at the emperor seriously, "The young imperial teacher is worthy of this title, so can we cancel today's heavenly offering ceremony... ahem, no, can we simplify it a little bit?"

The emperor said calmly: "Absolutely impossible."

Prime Minister Li bowed and said, "Your Majesty, even if we don't cancel the ceremony, if it rains heavily later, could Your Majesty move to the pavilion a hundred meters away?"

The court officials immediately gave Prime Minister Li a thumbs up. This was a good move. It would be safer if they stayed further away.

The emperor shook his head and said, "I am right here."

Prime Minister Li knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of Daxia. Your safety is related to the safety of Daxia. Your Majesty, please move your carriage."

The other court officials looked at each other, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and move to the pavilion."

The emperor's face turned cold, and he said, "The little imperial teacher is the destiny of the Great Xia. If I am afraid of the destiny of the country, how can I be the emperor! You two don't believe in the destiny of the Great Xia, why don't you resign and return home to seek better opportunities."

The courtiers took a deep breath: !!!

Even though they already knew that the emperor favored Yuanruan, no one expected that the emperor would defend her so resolutely.

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Prime Minister Wang was once the prince's tutor. Relying on this friendship, he bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness, do you have anything to say?"

The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "I believe that the national destiny will protect us."

Court officials: numb.

Why are our emperor and prince so stubborn?

I didn't say that we won't establish a young national teacher. Isn't it okay for me to just suggest that he stand in a safer place?

Just at this moment, gusts of whistling winds swept in with dead leaves, and the cloudy sky, which originally had a glimmer of sunshine, was suddenly covered by a thick dark cloud, completely eliminating all light.

Clouds of varying depths rolled in the sky, the treetops rustled in the wind, startling a flock of birds that flew away with their wings spread out. It felt like the opening scene of a disaster movie.

The court officials were instantly horrified: !!!

Wait, Little Imperial Master, didn’t you say we should wait for the heavy rain?

It’s not raining yet!

Don't rush to use magical powers such as fire and electric shock!

Taizhu, who was about to go up to recite the prayer, felt his legs go weak and he almost fell on the stairs.

The Minister of Revenue quickly grabbed the Grand Master and whispered, "We all know that the young Imperial Master is powerful, but it's getting dark. You have to hold on. Go up quickly, finish the recitation quickly, and finish it quickly! The lives and fortunes of so many of us depend on you."

Tai Zhu shuddered, his eyes were extremely determined: "I will definitely get ahead of the rainstorm so that the magical lightning will not strike us all.

Prime Minister Wang and others nodded solemnly.

The emperor glanced at them speechlessly, too lazy to say more, since he believed Yuanruan anyway.

The court officials' attention was focused on Yuan Ruan, so they did not notice that among the tens of thousands of people who gathered to watch, some of the men wearing turbans were holding small daggers with extremely ferocious eyes.

The men wearing towels exchanged glances with each other and slowly squeezed out of the crowd without making a sound.

At this time, Taizhu's voice rang out in the strong wind.

The common people were also putting their hands over their hearts, preparing to recite the familiar words to wish heaven and earth a happy birthday along with Taizhu.

At this time, the deputy supervisor was preparing to step forward to light the candles on the four dragon-shaped pillars.

This is the tradition of succession of the imperial tutor for hundreds of years. When the imperial tutor of any country takes over the throne, they must choose a rainy and windy day, light the four-sided fortune candles, and observe whether the fortune flame on the dragon column will be extinguished. Once extinguished, it means bad luck, which means that the imperial tutor is not qualified to succeed.

But in the past hundred years, everyone has installed wind shields on the dragon columns, and the candle flames have never been extinguished.

In an instant, a gust of evil wind blew, and the candle in Taizhu's hand suddenly went out.

The court officials and the common people were stunned and looked at each other.

The emperor also frowned and looked at the chief of Qintian Prison with an unfriendly look: "Send someone up immediately, and don't let me find out who is interfering."

Qin Tianjian immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty! I dare not!"

The crown prince was also very unhappy, and a cold emotion appeared on his usually gentle face: "Father, I will investigate this matter to the end."

The court officials panicked and quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, we, your servants, have absolutely no such evil intentions!"

The emperor and the prince stood alone.

The anti-thieves lurking in the crowd became excited.

The emperor was about to reprimand him when he heard a courtier exclaim, "Little Imperial Master, what are you doing?"

The emperor and the crown prince raised their heads at the same time.

With a snap, a silver dragon appeared in the sky.

The light shone on Yuan Ruan, who was originally lying in the core position, and he sat up at some point. He also took off his furry white fox fur and raised his chubby right hand.

Moment!

A silver dragon descended from the sky!

Several court officials were so frightened that they subconsciously protected their heads!

Bang!

The flame on the western dragon pillar suddenly ignited with a whoosh.

Crowd: !!!

What?

What did you just see?

The young imperial teacher used lightning to relight the candle?

But how is this possible?

Who can do such a thing with lightning?! This must be a coincidence! This must be an illusion!
