Chapter 14: Divine Punishment
The marriage of Sima Bin and Li Yun'er was scheduled to take place three days later. According to the divination of the soothsayer, it was an auspicious day to change marriage. Li Yun'er's princess's mansion outside the palace was also changed to the Concubine's Mansion. The news spread throughout the capital in an instant, and the major families were discussing the matter. Some of the wise people began to make some heavy gifts and went to Sima's house to congratulate them.
At this time, Sima Bin followed Wei Dong into the house dejectedly like a frosted eggplant. Wei Dong looked at him very curiously and asked, "Uncle Sima, why don't you seem to be happy!"
"No, I'm very happy! Haha, haha!" Sima Bin just finished laughing and made a bitter face.
"You're a liar again! You're very unhappy!" Wei Dong exclaimed, and after calling it, he asked very curiously, "'Auntie' is very good to you! And she is beautiful and has great ability, and she is still a princess! Why are you unhappy?"
"Kid, what do you know! Don't pretend to understand!" Sima Bin was very dissatisfied.
"Then you, are you still thinking about my mother?" Wei Dong asked tentatively.
"Uh, don't think about it, your mother and I only have a sister-brother relationship!Eh, you kid, precocious!" Sima Bin exclaimed a little uncontrollably.
"Then why are you unhappy!Uncle Sima, can you tell me about it!" Wei Dong asked as he broke the casserole.
"Alas!" Sima Bin sighed and said, "'As the saying goes, my fair lady is a gentleman!' It can be seen that all men chase women, and you can see that there are women chasing men, and it is difficult for you to chase men!
"But you also have a good impression of her, don't you? I can see it! You talk all day long, those 'vulgar people' and those 'vulgar people', I think you are very 'vulgar', and now you are very 'vulgar'! As long as you really like it, no matter what others say, 'Auntie' likes you so much, it proves that she has you in her heart! You are so crooked and not satisfied, be careful that I ask my uncle to beat you!" Wei Dong warned Sima Bin very angrily.
"You kid, don't you owe a beating!" Sima Bin raised his arm and said viciously.
Wei Dong made a grimace and quickly escaped from the house, shouting, "In the future, I will let 'Auntie' make you kneel on the washboard every day!
Sima Bin couldn't help laughing, "Where did you learn the mess?" said and lowered his head and pondered for a while, realizing that he really liked Li Yun'er's personality a little bit, and did not reject her. After thinking about it, I really think that I may have committed a 'vulgar rule'!'Well, I live my own life, and I don't care what others say!' Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh and scold again, "This kid is getting more and more unruly." ”
There was a quiet situation around the Great Prince's Mansion, and because of the Emperor's wrath and punishment, none of the well-informed officials came to visit the owner of the place at this time, and the situation was cold.
Under the crypt of the shrine, a burst of wails has been shouted from the mouth of the eldest prince, and it has been screaming all morning, and it is full of anger to the current intermittent, which can simply make an extremely cold-blooded man moved. But Zhang Liru was still sitting quietly beside the altar and kept burning incense and praying.
When the fourth message of sandalwood was lit, an illusory face of a 'god' finally appeared on the altar.
"What are you calling me for?" the face asked.
"I am the first divine envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and I have something important to tell my god!" Zhang Liru replied on one knee, bowing her head reverently.
"What's the matter?" the 'god' asked coldly.
Zhang Liru first stabilized her emotions, and then told Li Yun'er about cultivating immortals, and also explained that the prince of the Jin Kingdom had been controlled by her with a puppet Gu worm.
"What a big deal it is? I see, it's like this! It's a false alarm!" smacked his face and said indifferently, "But after so many years, there are still people who have been obsessed with cultivating immortals, and they really need to be punished!"
"My god, this really needs to be punished! Li Yun'er is not an ordinary person, but the concubine of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, if this matter comes out, it will be a provocation to the prestige of my god!" Zhang Liru said very solemnly.
"Well, then three days later, the gods will come in person, punish, punish the Li clan, and deter the five kingdoms!" After speaking, the illusory face gradually disappeared.
Zhang Liru knelt for a long time before she got up sweaty. This is the first time she has seen the 'gods' as an envoy, although it is only an illusory projection, its powerful coercion has made Zhang Liru tremble, and she deeply feels the power of the 'gods'.
The princess is going to get married, the emperor is going to marry a daughter, and the Sima family is going to develop again. In the past few days, from the royal princes and nobles to the common people of Limin, they are all talking about this sudden good thing.
The congratulators in front of Sima's house are now in an endless stream, and the patriarch Sima Dekang is really tired enough! Originally, the Sima family was a famous and wealthy family in the Dajin Kingdom, but now it is the icing on the cake, and it is like the sky.
"Father, you can take a rest quickly! Then leave the task of receiving the distinguished guests to our brothers!" said the eldest Sima Yu to his father.
"Alas, I really don't worry about your brothers! Do you think that these congratulators are all well-intentioned, hehe, as long as we are slightly negligent in reception, those guys will remember their grudges! When our Sima family is unlucky one day, they will come to settle accounts after the autumn! They are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones!" Sima Dekang said with palpitations.
"Daddy, we know this, we feel sorry for you! It's been a day, you can go into the house and rest! As the saying goes, 'It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided!' What's the use of thinking so much!" replied Sima Liang, the second child.
"Hehe, you kid thinks through it!Okay, I'll leave it to you two brothers!" Sima Dekang smiled freely, turned around and went into the house to rest.
Three days later, at noon, a grand wedding was being held in the main hall of the palace, and hundreds of officials in the hall congratulated the prince, and the prince and the princess also stood in the front row with smiles on their faces.
Outside the palace is also crowded with people, today the emperor ordered the whole city to have a day off and amnesty the world. The rustic people were now crowded on both sides of the street, waiting to watch the procession of the princess and the horses. Many people have spontaneously prepared flower petals and fireworks for the next moment of celebration!
Just now it was still sunny and the sky was clear, but suddenly the clouds were overcast! Huge lightning flashes appeared in the sky, and bursts of thunder were heard from time to time in the distance.
"What's going on? It's early winter, where is the thunderstorm?" When everyone was still guessing, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, "Earthquake!" I don't know which one shouted first, and the crowd began to panic, trying to squeeze out and flee for their lives.
With the collapse of a restaurant, followed by the collapse of one building after another, more people fled for their lives, shouts and cries everywhere, and the originally joyful street instantly became purgatory on earth.
The emperor and the ministers in the main hall also felt the violent shaking of the ground at this time, and they all ran out of the main hall in shock, looking up at the sky, only to see the lightning in the sky flying around like a giant fire snake.
"What do you see that?" said an official, pointing to the sky, and cried out in horror.
More than a dozen huge fireballs appeared in the sky, roaring straight towards the ground of the capital.
And on the ground not far from the palace, there are also more than a dozen places of land arching upward, and the more arched and higher and higher, a sudden sound bursts, and from below there are huge beasts like small mountains, looking up to the sky and roaring.
Many officials in the palace sat on the ground in fright, incontinent and feces. Emperor Li Shien stood with a pale face, and thought of a possibility in his heart - a terrible possibility!
At this time, the imperial concubine Zhang Liru next to the eldest prince showed a look of reverence, "Is the divine punishment finally about to begin?"
