Emperor Tianwu suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and walked into the Golden Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Su Huaizhong hurriedly trotted two steps, walked to the door and shouted at the top of his voice.
The noisy Golden Palace suddenly became quiet.
All the civil and military officials looked at each other, and with horror in their eyes, they all knelt down in front of the bumpy Golden Throne Hall, and couldn't help but look in the direction where Emperor Tianwu came in.
Everyone looked in horror at the two bright red characters written on the huge stone in the middle of the Golden Throne Hall.
I woke up one night and the sky fell!
Things are going to change.
When the Minister of Revenue Kong Zongli saw Emperor Tianwu walk in in his underwear, he trembled and drooped his eyelids.
In the morning, he received the news that the sixth treasury of the national treasury had been robbed. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he cried out that the lives of the Kong family were in danger.
He didn't care about the theft in his own house and hurried to the treasury to check.
When he saw this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and had no desire to live.
Who could tell him who could have emptied the six treasuries so completely overnight?
You beast, the floor tiles and roof of Liuku have been demolished.
This is something humans can do.
All the people guarding the six warehouses collapsed to their knees on the ground.
Kong Zongli's knees felt weak and he wanted to kneel down with the guards.
For the first time, he felt the countdown of his life so clearly...
......
The moment Emperor Tianwu stepped into the Golden Palace with a dark face, his whole body seemed to be frozen in time.
Looking at the empty throne in the Golden Palace, he was completely dumbfounded.
The dragon throne weighing thousands of pounds on the throne disappeared just like that.
The sun was shining brightly in the Golden Throne Hall. It was the first time I saw the sun shining all over the Golden Throne Hall.
Emperor Tianwu took a deep breath and looked up at the empty roof of the Golden Palace.
Although he was extremely angry, he felt calmer inside.
No, he was completely numb from anger.
Emperor Tianwu tried his best to calmly withdraw his gaze, concealing the panic in his heart, and continued walking towards the throne.
".......Um!?"
Emperor Tianwu stood on the bumpy throne and was dumbfounded again when he turned around and looked below the throne.
All the civil and military officials wore white undergarments.
Those who didn’t know would have thought that the emperor had passed away.
Emperor Tianwu pursed his lips, his eyes difficult to open because of the glare of the sun.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the throne.
"...What's written on the stone?"
Emperor Tianwu frowned as he looked at a huge stone under the Golden Throne Hall.
With the sun shining directly on his head, he could only vaguely see red words on the stone, but he couldn't make out what the words were.
How could there be such a huge stone in the Golden Throne Hall?
Listening to Emperor Tianwu's questions, all the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads, stammering and not daring to speak.
Who dares to read out loud the two words on the huge rock that fell from the sky?
Emperor Tianwu looked at all the ministers who hung their heads and remained silent, and his brows furrowed even more.
He turned his head to look at Su Huaizhong.
Su Huaizhong immediately walked towards the Golden Throne Hall.
"......" After seeing the two words on the boulder clearly, Su Huaizhong's pupils dilated instantly and he lowered his eyes in horror.
How could he dare to utter these two treasonous words?
Su Huaizhong's nervous forehead was instantly covered with sweat, and his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his mouth.
He turned around and walked towards Emperor Tianwu, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
Emperor Tianwu stood on the throne with a frown on his face. Under the glaring sunlight, he could not see the expressions of the civil and military officials at all.
But he could see that Su Huaizhong walked a little stiffly.
"explain!"
Emperor Tianwu looked at Su Huaizhong, whose back was bent as far as it could go, and said in a cold voice.
Su Huaizhong pursed his lips and took a deep breath.
"Return to the Emperor!"
"Two words were carved on the boulder..."
Emperor Tianwu frowned as he listened to Su Huaizhong's half-sentence.
"What word!? Say it!"
Su Huaizhong swallowed his saliva, his whole body trembling, his voice shaking like waves,
"Heaven~~~Punishment~~~"
When the civil and military officials heard Su Huaizhong say these two words, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Emperor Tianwu's body suddenly paused.
He opened his eyes wide, ignoring the glare of the sun, and stared at the reflective boulder.
After just two breaths, his eyes felt extremely sore.
"Heaven---punishment!"
These two words echoed in Emperor Tianwu's mind, and he took a heavy step back, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
Since he ascended the throne, he has been getting up early and working late to review memorials, and has never dared to miss a single morning court session. How could God punish him?
No wonder the entire palace was demolished overnight; it turned out to be a punishment from heaven.
Who else could make everyone in the palace fall into a deep sleep silently except for divine power?
There are countless palace guards, imperial guards, and secret guards in the palace. It is impossible for anyone to demolish the palace without anyone noticing under the noses of so many people.
Emperor Tianwu slowly closed his eyes to hide the fear in them.
He quickly recalled in his mind what he had done wrong to receive this divine punishment.
The biggest thing he did recently was to get rid of the Shen family.
Could it be...
It's impossible. The father and son of the Shen family have been dead for many days. If the divine punishment was brought down because of them, it shouldn't have been delayed until now.
How could it be possible that God would send down such a severe punishment on Shen Yong, the seventh son of the Shen family, a dandy young man, just because he beat Shen Yong a few times?
Not worthy of being mediocre.
After a moment, Emperor Tianwu opened his eyes and walked down from the throne step by step.
