Ma Chengye sighed and frowned at Xiao Yunhao.
"The Emperor Emeritus has made illustrious military achievements, saving the people from disaster. He is a human emperor, and his merits are immeasurable."
"But he knelt before his son and daughter-in-law. This...actually, Tian Gang's actions aroused the wrath of Heaven!"
"What!?" Xiao Yunhao looked at Ma Chengye in disbelief.
"Why is my father kneeling down to my fourth brother?!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xiao Yunhao immediately reacted, "Fourth brother is now the emperor. Did Dad lead the soldiers to kneel down and thank Emperor Yongchang?"
"But Dad is the emperor emeritus, so he doesn't need to kneel down when he sees the emperor."
"Is Dad confused?!"
The more Xiao Yunhao spoke, the more troubled he became.
This is indeed something his own father would do.
The main reason is that I used to be a subject, so when I say thank you to the emperor, I will kneel down unconsciously.
His father must have been too excited by the slogans, so he knelt down with the soldiers.
Ma Chengye pulled the corner of his lips,
"I'm afraid it's not just that. The Emperor must have burned incense, even kneeling down to burn three incense sticks, which is the highest standard."
"Otherwise, a simple kneeling would at most result in a thunderous warning, but it wouldn't result in the Emperor being struck by lightning."
Judging from the hexagram, the emperor must have been kneeling and waiting for the incense to burn out, and then performed a grand ceremony, which led to the emperor being struck by lightning.
but....
He always felt something was wrong.
The emperor is not a fool, so why would he give such a great gift to his son?
He suspected that the person the Emperor was kneeling to was his ancestor – the Divine King!
Emperor Yongchang should have just been implicated.
Otherwise, Emperor Yongchang would definitely not be struck by lightning unscathed. Only those who were implicated would not be struck so severely by lightning.
If this matter involves the ancestors, then it is not surprising that he has such a hard time seeing it.
"Dad...is he crazy!?"
The more Xiao Yunhao listened to Ma Chengye's words, the more he felt that his father was crazy.
Not only did he kneel down to worship his son, but he also burned incense. What was he trying to do?! ?
Ma Chengye pulled the corners of his lips awkwardly, "The Emperor is not crazy."
Xiao Yunhao looked at Ma Chengye speechlessly, "Fourth brother, will you be struck by lightning again?!"
"If the Emperor continues to burn incense and kneel down today, he will... be struck by lightning."
After Ma Chengye finished speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Yunhao.
Xiao Yunhao panicked and stood up suddenly.
"Don't tell anyone about this."
After saying that, Xiao Yunhao put down the teacup and strode out of the living room.
After leaving the living room, he immediately sent a message to his fourth brother's wife while walking.
[Fourth brother's wife, please contact Dad quickly and tell him to stop kneeling before Fourth Brother. If he continues, Fourth Brother will be struck by lightning and die.]
Right now, the only one who can stop Dad from doing stupid things is my fourth brother and his wife.
He couldn't understand why his father, who had never believed in gods or Buddhas, suddenly thought of burning incense.
Don’t believe in gods and Buddhas?!?
Xiao Yunhao paused, the words "I don't believe in gods and Buddhas" echoing in his mind.
They didn’t believe in gods and Buddhas before, but that was in the past.
Now, everyone in the entire Yongchang Kingdom knows that their Xiao family is blessed by the God King.
Could it be that... the person Dad is kneeling to is -- the God King -- Fourth Brother's Wife! !?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhao's doubts were suddenly resolved.
Dad knelt down to worship the God King, which explains why he burned incense.
The fourth brother's wife is a divine king, so the wrath of heaven dared not strike the fourth brother's wife, so it struck the fourth brother as a warning to the fourth brother's wife! ?
The corners of Xiao Yunhao's mouth twitched twice and he sighed.
The fourth brother was also quite miserable, but it was a blessing for him to be able to protect his wife from disaster.
......
Snow City....
Lin Yiran smiled as she watched the children line up with the copper coins they earned from eating dumplings to exchange for silver and gold melon seeds from Lin Changshou.
Looking at the smiles on the children's faces, the corners of her mouth also rose unconsciously.
These kids finally have some childishness in them. Before, they always looked sullen and lifeless.
“Ding ding~”
When the message alert sounded, Lin Yiran's smile paused and she clicked on the green bubble to take a look.
After reading the message, Lin Yiran smiled helplessly.
After all this time...oh!
Thinking that today was the first day of the new year, she was worried that Xiao Guoliang would have to burn incense again, so she immediately sent a message to Xiao Guoliang.
[Dad, please don't kneel down and worship the God King or burn incense to him anymore!]
She didn't want to be struck by lightning again, it was really uncomfortable.
Her place was vast and sparsely populated, so the children and the Lin family army mistakenly thought she had practiced some magical skill, so they just chopped her down twice and no one thought much of it.
But Xiao Yunzhan can't always be struck by lightning, otherwise rumors will easily spread and cause turmoil in Yongchang Kingdom.
Yongchang Kingdom cannot afford to have internal strife now. The army is all in Nancheng and Xiao Yunhao's side, and it will be very troublesome if internal strife occurs.
Xiao Guoliang, who was preparing to burn incense, paused and frowned as he looked at the dialog box in his mind.
"Old Xiao, what are you standing there for? Put the incense in quickly. If you delay any longer, you'll have to light it again."
Bai Hong inserted the incense into the incense burner, turned around and saw Xiao Guoliang standing there in a daze, and hurriedly urged him.
When he went to the military camp to visit and inspect in the morning, a soldier who knew how to burn incense said that incense should also be burned to the gods on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It is best to keep the incense burning in the incense burner constantly burning, and kneel down before every meal to show your sincerity.
When he and Xiao Guoliang heard this, they returned to the warship and lit the incense without even having time to eat breakfast.
They must not treat the God King who protects them unfairly, and they must offer him enough incense.
Xiao Guoliang came back to his senses, glanced at the incense in his hand, and then glanced at Bai Hong.
"Wait a minute!"
Bai Hong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, "What's going on? Did the Divine King give any instructions?!"
Xiao Guoliang pursed his lips, said "hmm" vaguely, and immediately replied to Lin Yiran.
[Fourth daughter-in-law, why is this happening? Is the Divine King unhappy?]
The fourth daughter-in-law is the messenger of the God King in the mortal world. If the God King had not told the fourth daughter-in-law, how would she know that he was burning incense.
So there is nothing wrong with saying that it was the God King who gave the instructions.
Lin Yiran, [The God King is different from other gods. He doesn't accept mortal incense and doesn't need to kneel down to worship. Dad, please don't mess around.]
Xiao Guoliang's face paled. "Ah!? No wonder there was thunder last night when I knelt before the Divine King. Could it be that the Divine King was angry and warning me?"
Lin Yiran, [....It should be, Dad, quickly remove the incense table. Just support the God King in your heart.]
Xiao Guoliang sighed and lowered his head with a gloomy look. "Okay, okay, I'll put out the incense right now. Please apologize to the God King on your behalf. I didn't mean it."
Bai Hong listened to Xiao Guoliang's sigh and asked nervously,
"What's going on? What instructions did the God King give? Is there a shortage of tribute?"
Xiao Guoliang drooped his lips and looked at Bai Hong pitifully.
"No, the God King doesn't accept incense. The thunder last night was a warning to me."
