Chapter 204 The situation seems to be more complicated
Wen Ling took the imperial edict and looked at it over and over again, obviously liking it very much.
But what she said was: "Hey, you see, with great power comes great responsibility. I just made a little effort and became a great master."
Gu Chenran smiled but said nothing.
He knew Wen Ling would like it, because it was not the first time she had asked why only men could be officials but women could not.
In the world she came from, gender equality had developed to the point where both men and women could hold official positions and women could do everything just like men.
Gu Chenran could not change the entire dynasty and allow all women to serve as officials.
But he could do his best to allow Wen Ling to serve as an official in the court.
Take it step by step. Let's start with Wen Ling. Maybe in the future there will be more and more women who can become officials.
Gu Chenran's companionship and feedback to Wen Ling is not only about taking care of Wen Ling's food, clothing, housing and transportation, he also quietly pays attention to what Wen Ling wants.
Just as Wen Ling was looking through the imperial edict in his hand for the Nth time, Gu Chenran finally couldn't help but speak: "Okay, stop looking. I know it's very strange for you to be an official for the first time. Tomorrow is the grand court meeting. Then you can go to court with me, and you will know what it feels like to be an official, right?"
Wen Ling coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I have no interest in being an official. I'm just curious about what it's like to be an official."
Gu Chenran smiled again, saying, "I understand, I understand. We are just going to feel it. We are just trying to experience it."
He also discovered that Wen Ling was a very weird person.
She is usually carefree and speaks directly, and it seems that nothing can make her embarrassed.
But when someone thanked her seriously, she would feel awkward and then wave her hands and say nothing happened.
When there are all kinds of formal tasks assigned to her, she will put away her playful smile and pretend that she doesn't care about anything, but she will try her best to do her best and be the best.
Wen Ling couldn't help but follow Gu Chenran's words and began to think about what tomorrow's grand court meeting would be like.
Immediately, she asked as if she had thought of something: "Hey, let's calculate the date. Shouldn't the grand court meeting be held today? How can it be tomorrow?"
Gu Chenran: "It was supposed to be today. The Moon Country's envoys and the goddess just arrived in the capital today. According to etiquette and arrangements, they rested outside the capital yesterday. Today, they should have gone to the palace to pay respect to the emperor as soon as they arrived in the capital.
It was just that their goddess suddenly fell unwell and had to change her date of entry to the palace to tomorrow, so since there was nothing serious going on, the emperor changed the date of the grand court meeting to tomorrow. ”
Wen Ling grasped the key point of the matter: "The goddess of the Moon Country arrived in the capital yesterday? How come I didn't receive any news at all?"
Gu Chenran looked at Wen Ling, whose eyes were full of gossip, and said helplessly: "When you woke up yesterday, the whole capital was paying attention to your waking up. Who would care about the goddess entering the palace?
And according to people who watched yesterday, there was nothing special about that goddess. She was beautiful, but that was all. She didn't look like a goddess. She wasn't capable of fortune-telling and could tell a person's past and future at a glance. ”
Wen Ling waved her hands repeatedly: "Hey, how can you compare like that? You can't pull people down and put them down."
Gu Chenran thought it was strange that Wen Ling paid special attention to the goddess from the Moon Country: "Why do you pay special attention to the goddess from the Moon Country? Is it related to your discovery in the cave in Beishan Mountain?"
Wen Ling glanced at Gu Chenran and felt that this man was really smart and nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
"Yes, didn't I see the linked murals in the cave of Beishan? I have told you the general contents of the murals, but I haven't had time to tell you the details of the murals.
After saving the world and mending the sky with his own body, the Lord of the World was worshipped by many tribesmen for generations.
Because before he sacrificed himself to repair the sky, he also saved a girl who was almost dead due to exhaustion of spiritual energy. He gave her a breath of spiritual energy, allowing her to survive.
So the girl's tribesmen would let the little girl perform the most critical step of the worship every year. Later, when the little girl grew old and passed away, in order to continue the custom, they would replace her with a new young girl.
Don’t you think... this custom and behavior is very similar to the practice of the Moon Kingdom that still preserves this day of choosing a little girl as a goddess to worship their gods? ”
Gu Chenran frowned slightly when he heard this: "So what you mean is that the god worshipped by the entire Yue Kingdom for generations is actually the Lord of the World?"
Wen Ling and Gu Chenran looked at each other, and they understood everything.
Wen Ling said meaningfully: "Whether it is true or not, we will know when we meet the goddess tomorrow and see if the magic power of the goddess is the same as that of the Lord of the World, right?"
Gu Chenran nodded: "Indeed."
Even though he hadn't seen the goddess yet, Gu Chenran could already make a 70% guess about it.
Because his mother had been lost and trafficked to the Moon Kingdom, where she had been a goddess for nearly ten years, she had more or less the magical powers of the God of the World.
Then, since he was born by his mother, his physique must be the most suitable for becoming the new body of the God who rules the world.
If the god worshipped by the Moon Kingdom is really the Lord of the World, then his evil heart was implanted in him from birth, and his body was controlled by the Lord of the World, just like in his later dreams, causing chaos in the entire Dayong. This is very likely a huge and coherent conspiracy.
The Kingdom of Yue kept sending goddesses here for marriage in order to give birth to a child suitable for transplanting evil hearts and ruling Dayong in the future, so his birth was a conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenran couldn't help but feel some anticipation for the goddess he would meet tomorrow.
Gu Chenran asked again: "What if the magic power of that goddess is really the same as that of the Lord of the World, and the Moon Country is indeed worshipping the Lord of the World, then what should we do?"
Wen Ling put away the imperial edict in his hand, and his expression became serious: "Then we must go to the Moon Country. In this way, the Moon Country is the lair of the Lord of the World.
If we don't destroy the lair of the Lord of the World to prevent future troubles, then the Lord of the World will not be completely destroyed. One day, he will come back to bring disaster to Dayong and the world.
Now I am here and can suppress him, but what if one day I am gone and he makes a comeback, who in this world can suppress and stop him? ”
She couldn't just turn a blind eye to this hidden danger when she knew about it.
Otherwise, this might become a demon in her heart that she would think about often in the future.
