Chapter 1082 Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
Although Chu Beihe allowed Xuxu to enter the palace to get married with the decree of the queen,
he actually did not plan to hold a ceremony to crown her.
First, he was not the real Chu Bei.
Second, he was unwilling to hold a wedding with Xuxu, who also had the identity of another person, under the identity of another person.
That was not formal.
And what he thought was also what Jiang Xuxu thought.
They had never planned to really get married in this time and space.
But the current situation forced them to take this step.
Since those people kept saying that Xuxu was not the real queen mother because the ceremony had not been performed, she could be offered sacrifices to the heaven as a goddess.
Then he would make her the real queen mother.
"The disaster in the north is severe, and it is not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony at the moment. However, since the words of the national teacher have been reported to the capital, I must give an explanation to the north."
Chu Beihe said to the court officials,
"Therefore, I have decided that the ceremony of conferring the queen this time will be simple, and the money saved in the palace will be used for disaster relief in the north.
At the same time, a general amnesty will be granted to the people of the north, and taxes will be reduced for three years.
After the ceremony, the queen and I will go to the heaven again to show our sincerity to the heaven."
As soon as Chu Beihe made this order, the court officials were silent.
If you say that your majesty is making a fuss, your majesty is even willing to wrong the queen for the sake of the disaster victims in the north, and the ceremony will be simple.
If you say that your majesty ignores the will of heaven, the first thing he did after holding the ceremony of conferring the queen was to go to the altar of heaven with the queen to offer sacrifices to the heaven again.
Although this sacrifice to heaven is different from what the national teacher said.
But she did offer sacrifice to heaven.
Even if the people in the north knew, they could not hold on to the national teacher's words and say that His Majesty did not care about the lives of the disaster victims in the north for the sake of one person. It
can be said that Chu Beihe's decision, to a certain extent, directly put everyone's army.
Especially Yuan Xiang.
The people who were originally skeptical about the rumor of "eliminating the future queen, the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, for their daughters", began to believe the truth of this rumor after hearing that His Majesty was hurriedly preparing to hold the ceremony of conferring the queen in the palace. After
all, if the rumor was false, why would His Majesty be so anxious to hold the ceremony of conferring the queen? And keep everything simple?
Isn't this just to completely eliminate the thoughts of Yuan Xiang and Yuan Xiang's daughter?
Yuan Xiang didn't know what other court officials thought of Chu Beihe's decree.
But Yuan Xiang himself felt aggrieved.
He hadn't even had time to submit his self-defense memorial, but His Majesty did this, clearly not even giving him a chance to defend himself!
If he continued to say that this didn't happen, then he was trying to cover up his crime.
In short, he felt aggrieved.
Compared to the endless debate outside about Chu Beihe's decree, the atmosphere in the palace where Jiang Xuxu was at this time was not serious, but it was not relaxed either.
Whether it was the ceremony of conferring the title of queen or the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, in the final analysis, it was a means to calm the people's public opinion.
What needed to be resolved most right now was the disaster in the north.
Chu Beihe acted as the emperor, and although he had quickly formulated a disaster relief plan, this place was not like the modern world.
Water from afar could not save a nearby fire.
What Chu Beihe wanted to know more at the moment was -
"Is this snow disaster in the north a simple natural disaster, or was it deliberately caused by someone?"
Although no one except the Heavenly Dao could easily create such a big snow disaster.
But Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe both knew clearly that this was a time and space where great monsters were rampant six thousand years ago. If there were great monsters to help, such a disaster might not be impossible to achieve?
Chu Beihe asked this question because he wanted to know whether what they were facing now was simply a test of Tianyuan from the Heavenly Dao, or a disaster caused by Tianyuan man-made?
This involved their subsequent actions.
Different situations require different ways of dealing with them.
In particular, Chu Beihe and Xuxu are both outsiders to this time and space.
If this snowstorm itself is a test of Tianyuan by the Heavenly Dao, then as outsiders, shouldn't they also not interfere too much?
Chu Beihe's question was naturally addressed to Cangyu.
As the guardian dragon of Tianyuan, since he knew about the disaster of Tianyuan, he naturally knew better than anyone whether this disaster was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
Cangyu listened to Chu Beihe's question, but did not answer it immediately, but asked him back,
"If it was not a man-made disaster, what would you do?"
Regardless of Cangyu or Jianjia, they only knew that they were souls from another world, but they had never asked about the origins and identities of these two people.
Cang Lu looked at Chu Beihe, feeling his aura which was similar to his own but completely different, and said,
"At the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, you asked Heaven to send down Heavenly Punishment, why were you so confident that Heaven would not punish you?"
Not only Jianjia saw everything that happened at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, but Cang Lu also saw it naturally.
Therefore, he clearly sensed the strange aura emanating from Chu Beihe's body at that moment.
It was an aura that neither he nor Jianjia had ever sensed before.
It was similar to his aura of carrying the fate of the country, but it was completely different from his...similar to the aura of the earth.
As a dragon, he knew better than anyone that if he probed too deeply, he might violate the rules of Heaven.
So although he and Jianjia were curious about the identities of the two people, they never investigated deeply.
But now, he was indeed a little curious.
He asked if this was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, if it was not a man-made disaster, would he and Jiang Xuxu have a way to stop this disaster?
"Who are you and her?"
Jianjia listened to Canglu's question without saying anything, nor showing too much curiosity. Instead, she looked at Canglu with some worry in her eyes.
Chu Beihe met Canglu's gaze for a while, then exchanged glances with Jiang Xuxu and said,
"I can only say that we do have a connection with you. As for the disaster of Tianyuan, if it is man-made, we only need to find out the person behind it, and we can help Tianyuan overcome the crisis."
Chu Beihe said, paused, and said,
"If it is a disaster of nature, Xuxu and I can do nothing."
Just as the way of heaven wants the ancient monsters to fall one after another, even if they struggle to death, they cannot resist the power of heaven.
What's more, he and Xuxu can only retain limited strength in the situation of soul crossing.
Chu Beihe said this very clearly.
Cang Lu also heard it very clearly, and because he was clear, he did not intend to deceive them.
"The disaster of Tianyuan is both a man-made disaster and a natural disaster."
How can the man-made disaster tacitly allowed by heaven not be a natural disaster?
If not, Jianjia would not have opposed him coming back in the beginning.
After all, natural disasters can never be reversed by one person alone.
They are like this, and so are he and Jianjia.
"I know you came for Wuguang's phoenix spirit. Now that Wuguang has appeared, you can leave before the disaster of Tianyuan begins."
Although in this way, Chu Bei's unrecovered spirit will support Tianyuan alone, which will accelerate the destruction of Tianyuan.
But that is also Tianyuan's destiny.
Now that it comes to this, Canglu also wants to hear the choice of the two people in front of him.
Stay, or leave now.
Chu Beihe and Jiang Xuxu looked at the two people in front of them, as if they were looking at their unknown past lives. They all knew that they should not get too deeply involved with their past lives, but in the dark, there was another voice guiding them -
stay, they will get an answer.
As for what the answer was, Chu Beihe and Jiang Xuxu didn't know.
The room fell into silence, and even Wu Guang didn't know when he stopped gnawing on the eggshell. After a long while, Jiang Xuxu was the first to break the silence.
She said,
"If I leave now, won't my coronation ceremony be cancelled?"
She couldn't let Chu Beihe go back on his word.
