Chapter 1080 I am here, willing to be punished by the thunder of heaven

The goddess offering sacrifice

to heaven is not the same as the emperor offering sacrifice to heaven. The emperor offers sacrifice to heaven, but the goddess offers sacrifice to heaven with her life.

The national teacher did not directly say who the Phoenix Goddess was.

But everyone knew who he was talking about.

Chu Beihe knew it, but he still asked him,

"Who is the Phoenix Goddess that the Imperial Master is referring to?"

The Imperial Master had a deep and solemn look on his face. Facing Chu Beihe's cold question, he still said directly,

"The Phoenix Goddess who has recently aroused the image of the Phoenix is ​​Feng Jiejie, the legitimate daughter of the Feng family."

Chu Beihe had no expression on his face and continued to ask him,

"Feng Jiejie is the empress who was canonized by my personal decree. Do you want to sacrifice the life of the Queen Mother to heaven?"

The Imperial Master reminded him,

"Your Majesty! Feng Jiejie has not performed the ceremony of canonization, so she is not the real Queen Mother."

If Feng Jiejie is already the Queen, asking the Queen Mother to die is disrespectful.

But Feng Jiejie, although she has the imperial decree, has not performed the ceremony since entering the palace, so she is not the real Queen.

Since she is not the empress, she can only be the Phoenix Goddess chosen by the Phoenix.

It is only natural for a goddess to offer sacrifices to the heaven.

When the Imperial Master said this, the court officials all thought it made sense.

If the life of one person can save the people of the north from the snow disaster, then it is only natural to worship her as a goddess.

Chu Beihe listened to the faint discussions coming from under the high platform, and his eyes were already cold. He did not continue to ask, he spoke directly,

"The Imperial Master was deceived by the evil spirits, and made up nonsense about the celestial phenomena, trying to harm the Queen Mother and disrupt the rules of our Tianyuan Dynasty. Take him away."

Chu Beihe said this, and the guards immediately stepped forward and took the Imperial Master away in a neat move.

The state teacher's face changed greatly, and he tried to shout loudly when he was taken away. Chu Beihe glanced at him, and the guards immediately covered his mouth and took him away.

Seeing this, a young celestial official stepped forward and said loudly,

"Your Majesty! The state teacher is just retelling the celestial phenomena truthfully. Your Majesty's actions, isn't it just to ignore the people of the world for one person... Um!"

Before the young celestial official finished speaking, he was also gagged and pulled away.

However, those words still reached the ears of the courtiers and palace maids present.

Yuan Xiang finally stood up at this time and advised the emperor,

"Your Majesty, the state teacher understands the will of heaven. Your Majesty ignores the will of heaven like this, which makes the people of the world feel cold."

Chu Beihe only saw him step out, and he knew that even if today's incident had nothing to do with the other party, he must have a selfish motive.

Without any words that ignored the will of heaven, Chu Beihe only asked him,

"Does Yuan Xiang also want to be detained?"

Chu Beihe's voice was cold, and there was no emotion in his eyes when he looked at Yuan Xiang.

He knew that he was only temporarily replacing Chu Bei's emperor, so he did not interfere too much in the affairs of the Tianyuan Dynasty. However, the result of letting these people arrange state affairs was that they thought they could control him, and Chu Beihe did not intend to endure it.

He had no intention of being a tyrant, but if these people wanted to use natural disasters to touch people who should not be touched, then he would not mind being a tyrant.

Seeing the court officials below discussing again, Chu Beihe raised his eyes and then shouted to the sky,

"If Tianyuan needs a woman's life to quell the disaster, then I and the officials of Tianyuan are incompetent. If God wants to punish me to quell the disaster in the northern border, I am here and willing to be punished by the thunderbolt." As

soon as Chu Beihe said this, the officials around the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony knelt on the ground and shouted in fear, "Your Majesty, you can't do this."

Chu Beihe didn't even look at them. He just looked at the black clouds pressing down in the sky, and the pressure of the soul belonging to the dragon veins emanated. He just said,

"Today I will offer high incense to the heaven. If there is any punishment from heaven in the future, I will bear it alone."

After that, he inserted the high incense in his hand into the cauldron in front of him.

When the incense was inserted, there was obviously a slight resistance. Chu Beihe did not change his expression. He enveloped the incense with golden light and inserted the tall incense very neatly. Then he turned around and walked down the platform step by step. There

seemed to be thunder in the dark sky.

The court officials held their breath and concentrated. Their

eyes followed Chu Beihe's footsteps down little by little.

Then everyone saw that as Chu Beihe walked down step by step, the dark clouds that had originally accumulated in the sky actually faded a little bit, and the thunder in the dark clouds also went away.

Until he stepped down the last step, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated completely, and the original sky returned.

The court officials were all stunned, and it took a long time for them to react, kneeling and shouting long live the emperor.

Chu Beihe just watched coldly, and when everyone calmed down, he announced slowly,

"The thunder has not fallen, which means that the so-called will of heaven of the state teacher is nonsense. From now on, the state teacher's position will be abolished."

After saying that, he left with the emperor's guards, regardless of how the court officials reacted. It was not

until Chu Beihe's guards left that the court officials reacted and hurried to follow.

One of them looked at Yuan Xiang from a distance, and then lowered his head in shame.

Because Chu Beihe reacted too quickly, and asked the sky to strike him with thunder, this minister had no chance to die.

Otherwise, as long as one person died on this altar today, Feng Zeze's sacrifice to heaven would be a done deal.

Even Your Majesty would be powerless to change the situation.

They thought their plan was cruel enough, but they didn't expect that His Majesty was even crueler than them.

Although they didn't achieve the desired result today, as the team of offering sacrifices to the heaven returned to the palace, the news that the will of heaven conveyed by the national teacher required the Phoenix Goddess to be offered sacrifices to the heaven also spread back to the capital and the palace.

The opportunity was rare, and since the emperor was unwilling to listen to the voices of the courtiers, he would force him with the voices of the people.

Although Yuan Xiang was not the mastermind of today's incident, he also wanted to interfere. So when the news was sent back to the capital, the people arranged by Yuan Xiang began to exaggerate the news and spread it.

He didn't care whether what the national teacher said was the true will of heaven or a false will of heaven, but if the daughter of Yuan Xiangfu was to become the queen, Feng Zeze must die.

...

The palace.

Before the news that she was to offer sacrifices to the heavens reached the capital, Jiang Xuxu had already heard the news from Jianjia.

It would take a normal person half a day to go back and forth, but for Jianjia it was just a matter of seconds.

Therefore, Jiang Xuxu knew the situation at the altar faster than anyone else.

Although she had put herself in his shoes and thought that if the dark hand hiding in the palace wanted to cause trouble, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens would be the best opportunity, Jiang Xuxu had never thought that the other party would go through all this trouble just to target her.

After Jianjia told her the news, she sat aside.

"Don't think about it. The people will definitely force Chu Beihe to let you go to the heaven. After all, the death of a person is not painful for them, and it's not them who died anyway."

Jianjia said this with a little sarcasm on her lips. When she looked at Jiang Xuxu, her eyes were clear and she said to her,

"If you really have no other choice and don't want to embarrass Chu Beihe, maybe I can help you. The conditions are very simple."

As she said this, her eyes turned to the soul bell on her wrist. It was obvious that she still wanted it.

Jiang Xuxu knew the ability of Jianjia Ten-tailed Sky Fox, and also knew that beings like her would not easily mix with human karma. She could take the initiative to propose it, and it must not be just for her soul bell. She

felt a little warm in her heart, and did not refuse immediately, but said,

"If there is really no other way, I will ask you to help."

But at the moment, it was just a means of stirring up public opinion, and she didn't need to do it.

Jiang Xuxu could handle it herself.
