Chapter 22 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
In addition to the capital, people in the surrounding towns were also talking about it.
Nowadays, there are still people who doubt the existence of immortals and evil spirits, there are also people who firmly believe in them, and there are also some people who have seen miracles for various reasons.
As soon as I heard that the immortal was coming to the capital.
These people gathered together spontaneously, and discussed anxiously whether or not to leave the imperial city. The immortals had great magical powers and were compassionate, and they would definitely protect the people around them.
But the problem is, no one knows when the immortal will arrive.
During this period, what if an evil spirit came to harm people? It would be too late for them to run away.
Just when they were hesitating.
The officials also quietly started a discussion. They were already very dissatisfied with the regent's arbitrary and authoritarian behavior, but the emperor was in poor health and was frail and sickly. Years of diligently governing the country had made his body even weaker.
The first half of the year.
The regent secretly joined forces with some officials to force the emperor to abdicate and let others take over, even though the emperor was the legitimate son of the late emperor and was named the crown prince to inherit the throne.
His Majesty is diligent in his work and loves his people. He is benevolent yet ruthless, and has a good way of governing the country, which has won him a high reputation among both the people and officials.
It is a pity that due to his poor health, His Majesty is unable to handle government affairs normally. Civil and military officials are worried that His Majesty is overworked and are often concerned.
The regent is the late emperor's younger brother, and is good at fighting.
Who could have imagined that half a year ago, because of dealing with a locust drought that caused millions of people to be displaced and had to eat their own children, the Saint became so angry that he vomited blood and fell to the ground in front of all the officials.
He has been in a coma since then.
The regent controlled the army and secretly had several civil and military officials defect, so they could only watch the regent control the government, even though they had tried their best to maintain the country that was thriving with great difficulty.
But who could have imagined that the emperor's illness and coma would lead to corruption or inaction in various places, which intensified local public grievances and led to rebellion.
With the regent in power, can the people still live a good life?
The regent had not expected that those damned common people and noble families looked down upon him so much. In his rage, he became even more arrogant, causing the chaos in many places to become even worse.
Civil and military officials wanted to stop the regent, but anyone who showed up was dealt with by the regent in various ways. Some died, some were disabled, and some were wrongly imprisoned.
In the end, some civil and military officials chose to surrender temporarily.
If even they were driven out of office by the Regent, the country would probably become even more unstable and turbulent, and all the years of hard work of His Majesty would be wasted.
The only thing they were thankful for was that the regent had not yet gone mad enough to lose his mind. He knew that if he really killed the emperor, he might be able to ascend the throne smoothly tomorrow, but there would inevitably be more chaos in various places, and those who were rebelling could use this as an excuse to continue to win over more people.
It is also because of this that the emperor is able to survive.
But everyone knows that the emperor was clearly poisoned by some unknown poison, which is why he has been in a coma.
Some civil and military officials learned that immortals and evil monsters had appeared in Zhaojia Village under Linhe County. The immortal also grew immortal rice overnight and created a immortal river that could cure various viruses.
They didn't bother to confirm whether this was true or not, and immediately sent people to the village at full speed. Unfortunately, they arrived too late, and the river had already returned to its normal state and no longer had any therapeutic effect.
Fortunately, every household in the surrounding villages had fairy rice. These people paid a very high price to buy a lot of fairy rice, brought it back and boiled it into porridge to feed the emperor.
I ate it for two months in a row.
Although the emperor has not woken up yet, his complexion has improved a lot.
However, as the immortal's miracles appeared more and more frequently, the regent began to doubt the immortal's existence and began to send more people to guard the palace.
Their people could no longer sneak in to feed porridge.
But what really worries these people is that after the immortal comes to the capital, he will ask the regent to simply give up and poison the emperor directly, and choose to ascend the throne himself.
Soon, all parties began to take action.
The Regent was indeed as those officials thought. Since the immortal was coming to the capital, no one could tell what would happen. Just based on his behavior during this period, it was not difficult to guess that he must have a bad impression of him.
His only obsession was to become emperor.
Other rebels suddenly calmed down. They did not rebel under the pretext of purging the emperor's side as they had done in the past, but instead waited and saw what would happen.
At this moment, Bai Yuan, who was being watched by all parties, had already arrived in the capital.
He walked on the busy streets of the capital, and even with his white hair and white eyes, he did not attract anyone's attention, as if everyone subconsciously ignored his existence.
This was also what Bai Yuan did deliberately.
Zhao Ping'an and his companions were also traveling around the capital, and they found everything new and interesting.
During this period of time, they followed Bai Yuan to many places, met many different people and things, and their minds gradually broadened, and they untied the knots in their past.
Zhao Xiaomei even changed her name to Liu Ermei's surname, Liu Yuzhu, which means to grow as tenaciously as the bamboo in the mountains and break through all obstacles.
I also hope that she can be like jade, cherished and kept in my heart from now on.
Not long after, Liu Ermei also changed her name to Liu Si. She hoped that she could think more in the future and not be blinded and live in a daze like in the past.
As for the couple, they chose to let go of the past.
Following Bai Yuan's suggestion, they tried to learn to read. Even if their handwriting was not good, reading and traveling would always make people better at thinking.
The same is true for Bai Yuan.
He absorbed all the information about the ancient world like a sponge. He memorized the contents of various books and quickly learned how to write calligraphy. Unfortunately, he did not have much talent for writing poetry.
Bai Yuan withdrew his thoughts.
He jumped over the wall into the palace, found the room where the regent was, pushed open the door, and soon saw the regent discussing with his advisers how to usurp the throne.
In these two months.
Bai Yuan had heard about some of the Regent's deeds and behaviors from many ordinary people and officials, and he did not have much good impression of this person.
If this person is the son of luck.
Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes...
The next moment, the system's voice sounded in my mind.
[Host, I can now use a small amount of points to obtain the plot line of the Son of Luck in this world. I will pass it to you right away.]
Bai Yuan stood there, carefully checking the information.
It is true.
The regent in front of him was the son of destiny in this world. He and his royal brother spoke at the same time, and with just a few seconds difference, the other party became the crown prince, and he could only become a prince, and never had the chance to be emperor again.
The Regent was very dissatisfied.
Even though the previous emperor was diligent in his work and loved his people, and was a very good emperor, he later gave birth to an eldest son and directly made him the crown prince and raised him up.
He still has no chance of becoming emperor.
As the son of destiny, the Regent must be far superior to ordinary people in one aspect, that is, fighting. He seems to have a keen intuition about danger and can always turn danger into safety at the critical moment.
As his fame grew, he became more and more dissatisfied.
After the late emperor passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne, the regent found that the crown prince was better than the late emperor, and both the people and the officials were convinced by him.
The Regent panicked.
He decided to take action. The emperor was weak and sickly, so he secretly poisoned him, damaging his body little by little, and people around him would not realize that anything was wrong.
Finally, he succeeded.
If Bai Yuan had not appeared, the regent would have indeed succeeded in becoming the emperor, and because of the mandate of heaven, he would have directly dealt with the rebel groups in various places.
Even if he does not know how to govern the country, he is the son of destiny, and various outstanding supporting characters will appear one after another and work hard to help the regent maintain and govern the country.
The current emperor has long passed away, becoming the regrettable white moonlight in the hearts of countless people.
People sometimes wonder, if the emperor had not died, would the dynasty have become better and better under his rule?
It’s a pity that there is no if.
After Bai Yuan finished reading it, his expression turned extremely cold.
In other words, if the regent had no intention of usurping the throne and the emperor was still alive and well, then no one in the country would want to rebel, and the country would prosper and get better and better.
It all started with the Regent.
The other party turned out to be the child of destiny?
Why.
The system sighed and said: [The child of destiny is sometimes not fixed, and anyone who harms the child of destiny will be retaliated.]
[Unless he is despised by everyone and his luck is weakened, or a new child of destiny appears, the two sides will grow stronger and weaker, and then he can be killed. This is also the reason why this small world eventually fell into decline. ]
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan tried to eject a ball of energy.
The next moment.
The energy ball seemed to have touched something invisible and disappeared instantly. At the same time, an inexplicable threat came from all directions.
Bai Yuan looked a little puzzled.
There was something indescribably strange about this threat. It contained no emotion or malice. It was simply a counterattack because he had attacked the Regent.
It's just like humans swallowing water, it's instinctive.
Bai Yuan informed the system of this matter. The system was silent for a while, and then said: [It should be a rule, but this rule has not yet been formed, otherwise the other party would not choose this kind of person as the son of destiny. ]
Bai Yuan became even more confused after hearing this.
[You can understand it as the main part that makes up the operation of the world, and the core has self-awareness. Even the immortals in the small world must abide by the rules, otherwise those immortals can destroy humans at will, which is not good for the development of the world. ]
Bai Yuan understood.
The rules of this world are being conceived, and self-awareness and core have not yet been born.
Does this mean... that he can manipulate the situation behind the scenes and artificially create a new son of destiny?
for example.
Bai Yuan looked towards the direction of the imperial city.
That very outstanding emperor became cannon fodder because of the regent, but who says that cannon fodder cannot become the son of destiny?
Bai Yuan looked at the Regent for the last time and turned to leave.
Then he entered the palace.
Inside the palace, the emperor was sleeping unconsciously. Bai Yuan tried to extend a small ball of energy to heal the emperor.
Soon, the emperor moved his fingers.
Bai Yuan left a ball of energy in the other person's body and let him continue to sleep.
Next.
A big drama is about to begin.
