Chapter 235
235
Cheng Yeran not only inserted a fill light behind him, but also played a BGM for himself with his mobile phone. When he walked over, everyone around him was quiet. It took them a long time to react and they all knelt on the ground.
Cheng Yeran walked to the front, climbed the stairs, stood in the hall, took out a big loudspeaker, and turned it on.
Cheng Zhao saw that he was holding a large speaker used for buying vegetables at the vegetable market, and was really afraid that the speaker would play some cheerful startup music as soon as it was turned on.
However, the process has been set up in advance by Ye Ran, and no other music will be played, so you can use it directly.
"Everyone stand up!" His voice was already loud, and with the use of a loud speaker, it could be heard even further.
When the people below heard such a loud noise, they thought that he was using some magic. How could someone who was not a god make such a loud noise? If he is not a god, why does he have a halo behind his head? How could there be heavenly music if it wasn't for the gods walking past them?
They didn't dare to stand up and look directly at the gods, for fear of shortening their lifespan.
Cheng Yeran shouted again: "Stand up."
They then slowly stood up, but still kept their heads down.
"Let me say a few words." Cheng Yeran said in the tone he usually uses in meetings: "The Second Prince should indeed return to the capital. He is a talented person, but he should not sit on the throne."
The queen was most afraid to hear Cheng Yeran say this, "It shouldn't be him who should do it, could it be the eldest prince? The emperor only has two sons left, and the remaining princes were all born by that evildoer and are not worthy of sitting on the throne."
"He's not the eldest prince either." Cheng Yeran said.
"If it's not the eldest prince, could it be..." The Queen looked at Cheng Yeran, "Could it be that you want to sit on the throne?"
Cheng Yeran shook his head. The queen was slightly relieved when she saw him shaking his head. But soon, she saw Cheng Yeran pointing downwards, in the direction of the group of people. She felt a little uneasy. Was Cheng Yeran going to appoint one of them as the new emperor?
The people below were also excited. Could it be that among them there was a candidate for the new emperor? Who doesn’t want to be an emperor?
"I am not the master of this country, and neither is the eldest prince or the second prince. The real masters of this country are you, every one of you." After Cheng Yeran finished speaking, he saw that all of them were stunned and could not digest his words for a while. He had no choice but to say to everyone: "That's all for today. I will tell you in detail tomorrow. Everyone go back first."
Although the people were confused and wanted to ask more clearly, they did not dare to go against Cheng Yeran's wishes and turned around to go home.
They didn't dare to say anything on the way back. After returning home, they were all thinking about what Cheng Yeran meant when he said that each of them was the master of the country.
They still didn't know what equality was, and they always felt that according to Cheng Yeran's words, the world would soon fall into chaos.
In this world there are poor people, rich people, officials, royal relatives, and slaves. If everyone is a master, then everyone is the same person. But how can royal relatives be the same as slaves?
But Cheng Yeran is a god, how could he let the world fall into chaos? He must have his reasons for saying that. Maybe Lord Cheng wants to be the emperor. From their current thinking, without the emperor is more terrifying than equality.
After the people left, the palace was in chaos, with signs of vandalism everywhere and blood on the road.
Cheng Yeran sent people to clean the palace, then turned around and told his four adopted sons to go home and inform everyone to move their families into the palace, and they would live in the palace from now on.
He turned to Shao Hui and said, "Now that my identity as a deity has been exposed, it may be dangerous to live outside the palace. You should move in as well. This palace will be our hideout from now on. No, it is our residence. Go and gather all your soldiers to protect me."
"Do you want to usurp the throne?" Shao Hui asked him.
"No, I won't be an emperor." Cheng Yeran said.
"Since you don't want to be the emperor, why don't you ask the second prince to come back to inherit the throne?" Shao Hui asked him puzzledly.
"It's not that I don't want him to ascend the throne, it's that I can't let him ascend the throne." Cheng Yeran couldn't say what was in his heart. Shao Hui would definitely not agree with his idea, and might even kill him for the country. He believed that even if Lin Yu wanted to usurp the throne, Shao Hui would kill Lin Yu without hesitation. However, Shao Hui cared more about the country, and the emperor was second. According to Shao Hui's character, he deliberately made up a set of explanations, "Because the evil spirit is not dead."
After hearing this, Shao Hui immediately drew the sword from his waist, "Where is he? I will kill him now."
Cheng Yeran held his hand and said, "You can't kill him, you can only prevent him. He will possess the king of this country. As long as it is a king, the moment he ascends the throne, the evil spirit will immediately possess him. Can you kill him? If you don't kill him, this country will be destroyed by the evil spirit sooner or later. So you'd better not establish a king, and the evil spirit will not be able to possess you."
Cheng Yeran pointed to the ground under his feet and said, "This palace is where the evil spirit is strongest. I must live here in person to suppress it."
Shao Hui looked at the halo behind his head, listened to the "immortal music" coming from him, and believed what he said, "But if you are an immortal, why do you ask me to protect you?"
Cheng Yeran leaned over to his ear and said, "After I came to the mortal world, I borrowed the flesh of a mortal. If my flesh is damaged, I will return to the immortal world and will never be able to come back. At that time, the world will be in ruins."
Shao Hui was extremely moved when he heard his words. Cheng Yeran trusted him too much to even say such words to him.
Moreover, Cheng Yeran is a god, but he is not arrogant at all and still treats him as a brother. He must protect Cheng Yeran, not only to protect this brother, but also to protect this country.
They packed up a palace, and their servants came to report that moving would be difficult. Many people knew that Cheng Yeran was a god, and they gathered around their residence, saying that touching the stone lions at the door, the gate, or even the outer wall would bring them good luck.
Cheng Yeran had expected that his former home would become a popular check-in spot. He took out his almost dead phone, turned off the music, and started shopping online. "It's okay. Lock the door and buy things when there are fewer people around. You are no longer servants in our house. We will become an employment relationship. There will be no servants in this country in the future."
When the servants heard this, they thought he was going to drive them away, but then they changed their minds.

Cheng Yeran is a god. How could a god appreciate the care of mortals like them?
After Shen Yuntang settled the children, he came over and asked Cheng Yeran what his plans were next.
He found Cheng Yeran shopping, and went over to see what Cheng Yeran was buying. "Are you buying a car?"
"I've long been tired of riding in a horse-drawn carriage. Now I don't need to pretend. I'll just drive a car in the future. Anyway, there are cement roads now." After Cheng Yeran bought the car, he bought a lot of books. There were books on various subjects, including future textbooks, chemistry, physics, medicine, law books, and so on. "Since I'm a god, these books are heavenly books. Let them learn by themselves. Only smart people can learn them and learn the future science and technology. Who knows, it won't be long before we can use electricity at home without generators, and maybe we can even get online."
He then bought a few more generators and household appliances, "I want to return to modern life in an upright manner."
Seeing how excited he was, Shen Yuntang thought that he must have suffered a lot of injustice over the years, and he also wanted to experience what modern life was like.
Shen Yuntang also took out his mobile phone and wanted to buy some future kitchen appliances. He often saw electric rice cookers when watching TV dramas, which could cook rice without firewood, and he also wanted to try it.
He was just choosing which model to buy when he heard Cheng Yeran come over and say to him, "You never wore the diamond jewelry and hairpins I bought for you before. You always said they were too modern and you didn't want to wear them out because you were afraid of being suspected. Now you don't have to be afraid. Take them out and wear them."
When Shen Yuntang thought of those hairpins, he couldn't help but twitching his lips. Was he not wearing them because he thought they were too modern? He had secretly melted down those hairpins as big as cakes and replaced them with other styles of jewelry to wear.
But those diamond jewelry are pretty good, I can take them out and wear them later.
The next day, Cheng Yeran first summoned the court officials to discuss things. Before the emperor died, he had not attended court for several years. As the prime minister, Cheng Yeran had been acting on behalf of the emperor in managing state affairs. Now that the court officials came, they were a little frightened.
They were not at the scene yesterday, but they heard that Cheng Yeran was a god who flew into the palace and used his magic power to fight the emperor who had an evil spirit in his body for three hundred rounds. In the end, he used magic to start a fire and burn the evil spirit to death.
The rumors became more and more exaggerated, turning last night's experience into a myth.
When the ministers saw Cheng Yeran, they wondered whether they should kneel down to Cheng Yeran like they had kneeled down to the emperor before? But why has this place where courts are held changed? There are lots of chairs and a table? Their names were written on the table.
Seeing their confusion, Cheng Yeran explained to them: "You all sit down according to your names. I have something to say to you next."
Cheng Yeran did not speak to them in person, but held a video conference. However, there was no internet at the moment, so his video conferences were all recorded in advance. He also photoshopped a fairy palace as a background for himself, played slow fairy music, adjusted his speaking voice, and added an ethereal special effect.
When the officials saw Cheng Yeran riding a dragon with a halo appear on the big screen in front of them, they were so frightened that their legs went weak and they wanted to kneel down, but the tables and chairs were too crowded and there was no place for them to kneel.
Cheng Yeran on the screen told them in an ethereal voice that the current laws needed to be revised. He talked to them about equality and freedom. Not only would there be no more nobles, but there would also be no more slaves. Also, men, women, and boys would be equal. For example, the rule that boys and girls were not allowed to live independently was changed, as was the rule that boys and girls could not have custody of their children after divorce. In addition, these officials no longer have to kneel down to the royal family, let alone to him, and of course the people do not have to kneel down to them either.
Cheng Yeran also asked someone to send them the books of law. These books were bought by him from the future world. Cheng Yeran asked them to go back and study them thoroughly.
He also called the two doctors who had always been with him, as well as all the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau, including the doctors in the clinic in the city.
Cheng Yeran gave them a lot of medical books. After they opened the books, they were surprised to see the simplified Chinese characters. The font and paper were different from what they were used to. There were also illustrations and even anatomical diagrams. They exclaimed in disbelief. Could it be that this was a heavenly book?
Cheng Yeran also distributed books to officials in different positions so that they could learn modern technology, and he also sent people to open schools in various places to first learn Chinese pinyin and simplified Chinese characters, and then learn future textbooks.
He sent all the things out and asked other people to study and do them, while he edited videos at home every day. He had previously found an online store to help him edit videos, but later he was worried that the store owner would misunderstand that he was a member of a □□, report him, and block his account, so he would not be able to shop online. So he learned how to edit videos and did it himself.
He edited many videos and bought a lot of screen equipment for playing movies. He shipped these equipment to all parts of the country. After making the people of the country believe that he was a god, he began to promote his idea of equality.
Of course, there are also some supernatural elements in this. For example, he said that if a person sells himself into a slave, he will have no soul after his death. If a person buys too many slaves and has too many debts after death, he will suffer torture in hell.
He also edited many hell scenes from future film and television dramas, which were too horrific and too real for people of this era, and scared many people.
Many people begged their masters to let them redeem themselves, and those masters also begged their servants to take the indentures and leave quickly for free, otherwise they would be boiled in oil in hell.
No one doubted the equipment for projecting movies, because many Taoist priests and monks would set up an altar before performing rituals, and the people thought that what he set up should be similar to those Taoist priests and monks.
