Chapter 628: This world is not black and white
It's dawn.
The sun rises.
The red sun hangs high in the sky, shining in every corner.
People who had been hiding at home came out to bask in the sunshine.
People were talking about what they had seen and heard last night.
The blood moon is everywhere, demons and monsters appear in the world, causing trouble for the human race.
Eight immortals descended from the sky to slay demons and monsters and maintain peace in the world.
Everyone is discussing the story of the eight immortals.
However, people only knew the names of the Eight Immortals from the owner of the paper-making shop, but that was only their names.
Yu Lingye is very fast.
As soon as it was dawn, he called Tu Bufan over.
Tu Bufan witnessed the blood moon with his own eyes, and also witnessed the Eight Immortals fighting against demons.
His blood boiled and his scalp tingled as he watched.
Just when he thought that an immortal had really descended to this world, he was summoned by Yu Lingye.
Yu Lingye told him the truth about the Eight Immortals, and he became autistic.
After being introverted for a while, he accepted the task, pretending to be a storyteller and introducing the eight immortals in the largest restaurant.
The teahouse was packed.
Soon, the names of the eight immortals became famous throughout the country.
The giant sky-screen show planned by Xie Jingyun was very successful.
The people believed that the fact that the Eight Immortals were willing to come down to earth to save the people showed that the Dayu Dynasty was still under the care of the immortals.
This shows that the Dayu Dynasty is still prosperous.
at the same time.
News also came from the royal family - the emperor passed away on the Ghost Festival.
The cause of death publicized was that the emperor knew that the blood moon would attract demons and monsters, so on the day before the blood moon appeared, which was the Ghost Festival, the emperor ascended the altar and used the blood of a real dragon to summon immortals to exorcise demons.
The emperor was old, and although he succeeded in summoning the immortal, he also lost his life.
Before the emperor passed away, he abdicated the throne to the fifth prince.
The fifth prince will become the new emperor of the Dayu Dynasty.
The descent of the Eight Immortals to the earth and the death of the emperor form a closed loop, which is very convincing.
The people believed it without a doubt.
A celestial phenomenon and coup that could have caused the world to turn upside down ended in this way.
Prince Ling's Mansion.
Sui Sui was very dissatisfied.
"Why? Why should we leave the good reputation to the emperor?" Sui Sui was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Now the people all know that it was the emperor who risked his life to summon the Eight Immortals. Everyone praises the emperor, saying that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the people and that he is an emperor of all times."
"Pah, pah, pah."
"How can he be worthy of that old eunuch?"
"Ahhh, I don't accept it. I'm going to expose him."
Xie Yingmian placed her hand on Suisui's head: "I know you are very angry, but please don't be angry yet."
"Some things in this world are not black and white."
"The emperor was certainly not a good person, but during his reign, taxes and labor service were normal, and he was diligent in governing the country. Although the people were not wealthy, they lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"People don't care who sits in that position, nor do they care whether that person has flaws or not. They only care about two things: having enough food and warm clothes."
"For most people, just being able to eat and clothe themselves and survive is already the best they can do."
"If we make public what the emperor has done, what do you think the people will do?"
Sui Sui pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.
Xie Yingmian said, "For the common people, the emperor is heaven."
"We told them the sky had fallen."
"If the sky falls, the people's hopes will also be shattered."
Sui Sui: "But didn't we perform a play about the Eight Immortals fighting monsters?"
"Let's say the emperor is immoral, and the blood moon brings down punishment. The new emperor summons the Eight Immortals, and the Eight Immortals fight the demons, ultimately restoring peace to the world. The new emperor is chosen by heaven, isn't that better?"
Xie Yingmian said, "If only it were that simple."
"If a bad person lays down his butcher knife, he can become a Buddha."
"A good person needs to go through countless trials and tribulations before he can become a Buddha."
"That's inherently unfair."
"Creating a god is easy, but what happens after creating a god?"
"Have you ever thought about this: if the Fifth Prince is deified, what will be the people's first reaction when the Dayu Dynasty is struck by drought, flood, plague, or war?"
"If the Fifth Prince is made into a god, when a natural disaster occurs, the first reaction of the people will definitely be to pray to the gods for help and protection."
"What if the Fifth Prince cannot summon the gods, stop the flood, and prevent the deaths of the people?"
“The gifts of fate are all secretly marked with a price.”
"During his reign, the emperor committed no excessive atrocities, and no human lives were lost. The number of people he killed was insignificant compared to the lives of the entire world."
"At that time, the people will remember the emperor's good deeds, will conspire to accuse the fifth prince of fraud, and will suspect the emperor's death."
"By then, the Fifth Prince might be facing a complete collapse of his family."
"Someone might take advantage of the situation and the world might be in chaos."
Seeing that Sui Sui had understood, Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "So, we're taking advantage of the dead emperor, putting the blame for the gods on him, and deifying him."
"In contrast, we solved a major hidden danger by maintaining the emperor's reputation. It was a great profit."
Sui Sui understood.
Although it was still somewhat indignant, it did not continue to expose the emperor's thoughts.
The emperor passed away and the whole world mourned.
According to royal funeral rules.
After the emperor's death, there are three stages: the funeral, the mourning period, and the burial procession.
These three stages take a total of three months to one year.
The fifth prince and Yu Lingye discussed that the emperor's coffin would be buried in the imperial mausoleum at the end of the year.
The fifth prince's coronation ceremony was also chosen for the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
