As Supervisor Chen finished shouting, the dark red disc had been completely swallowed by the darkness, and the four fields of heaven and earth were instantly pitch black.

This pitch black is not the same as the night, but a completely black ink, so thick that it can't be dissolved, so that people can't see a trace of light, and they feel like the end is coming.

Some of these ministers who have not yet had time to disperse the dynasty are calm and indifferent on weekdays, and some are deep-minded, but at this moment, they are all panicked, or crying bitterly like Chen Jianzheng, or staggering and shouting, and there is chaos inside and outside the palace.

There are even some people shouting: "Escort, escort, protect the emperor!" ”

I don't know how many people fell and trampled on the running, and at this moment when darkness fell, the hall of the hundred officials almost became a nightmare of purgatory on earth.

In a place where no one could see it, the prince hugged the red-lacquered pillar tightly, his teeth trembled, his face was blue, and even someone stepped on his feet in a panic, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Tengu Eclipse Day, this is a sign of the death of the country!

Originally, he was just the crown prince, and when this kind of bad omen happened, the Son of Heaven and the important ministers had to bear the brunt of the responsibility, but there were rumors about him in the capital, and his father had just decided that he would sacrifice to the sky and pray for blessings.

Heavens, do you really want to kill me?

The prince looked up at the sky, the black hole couldn't see anything, and the depression in his heart was churning like a sea, and he couldn't wait to roar.

But all his unwillingness and resentment could only endure in the dark, calm down against the cold pillar, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart.

Is it really because the mother concubine stole the beams and changed the pillars, and he, the prince, was a Xibei goods, and the heavens warned one after another?

No, no!

The prince shook his head frantically and waved the terrible thought away.

He can't think so, if even he thinks so, what about others? What about the father?

Damn it!

The prince punched the pillar, and the pain in his heart could not withstand the anger in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, but for those who experienced the Tengu Eclipse Day, it might be as long as a lifetime, and the sky finally brightened up little by little.

"It's dawn, it's dawn!" The ministers fell to their knees and wept bitterly, and as the light reappeared, their wolves and the wreckage inside and outside the hall were fully revealed.

The ministers looked at each other, then stood up silently, and re-entered the main hall in unison.

Emperor Changqing's face was solemn, and he sat quietly on the Jinluan Palace.

"See Majesty." All the ministers were full of panic and bowed down together.

Emperor Changqing's voice was equally heavy: "Let's all be flat." ”

The ministers stood up for a long time, and the hall was silent, as if there was no one.

Zhang Shoufu finally stood up, looking like he had aged a few years all of a sudden, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, disasters have been frequent recently, earth movements, solar eclipses have come one after another, covering the calamities, and the ring of heaven and earth. As the head of a hundred officials, it is the sinful of the ministers that they cannot assist the lord and cannot set an example for the officials. The minister resigned and bore the heavenly punishment. ”

After Zhang Shoufu finished speaking, he fell to the ground and cried.

He entered the officialdom at the age of 30 and worked diligently for decades, not to mention high merit and hard work, at least there was no major fault.

However, it is rare for the tengu to eat the sun for decades, and such a bad omen happened during his tenure as the first assistant of the cabinet, if he does not bear the responsibility of the "Ring of Heaven and Earth" for the emperor, he can't let the emperor bear it himself, right?

This is fate, let him resign with such a reputation on his back.

Emperor Changqing sat up straight, condescendingly looking at Zhang Shoufu, who was crying on the ground, and even the expressions of the civil and military officials, and was silent for a long time.

Several more important ministers stood up and asked for their resignation.

After a long time, Emperor Changqing let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Everyone, Aiqing, let's be flat." The remaining one is guilty, and there are no more than ten thousand......"

"Majesty!" The ministers were shocked.

Emperor Changqing ignored it, and continued: "I am not the same, I can't go to the light of all three lights, and the sum of the masses is still ...... The way of heaven is not far away, and the reprimands are false, and the surnames of ten thousand people have been given, and they are given to one person. Today, I am in pain and self-reprimand, avoiding the main hall, reducing regular meals, fasting, and worshipping heaven and earth......"

As soon as Emperor Changqing's edict came out, the hundred officials immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, no, it's the incompetence of the ministers!" ”

Emperor Changqing stood up with a tired face: "Zhong Aiqing doesn't need to say more, I have already made up my mind." The edict ordered Qin Tianjian to draw up an auspicious day to sacrifice to the heavens, and Taichang Temple to prepare for the sacrifice of the heavens, and I ......"

Emperor Changqing glanced at the prince: "I and the prince will sacrifice to the sky together, and after that, I will cooperate with me to prohibit cruelty, stop unauthorized endowment, force Bennong, investigate injustice, and calm the anger of the sky." ”

"The ministers obey the order, long live your majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

The courtiers finally dispersed, and before leaving, they all couldn't help but glance at the prince, the prince was like a man's back, and when he waited for the palace to go to the empty palace, he knelt down to Emperor Changqing, who was still sitting on the Jinluan Palace: "Father, son-"

Emperor Changqing waved his hand: "Prince, get up." Needless to say, go back and prepare for the sacrifice to the heavens. ”

"Yes." The prince closed his eyes and silently retired.

Only then did Emperor Changqing stand up and walk towards Cining Palace.

On the day of the Tiangu Eclipse, the attendants and palace maids of Cining Palace were also panicked, and they saw Emperor Changqing bow down together.

The Queen Mother heard the sound and looked at Emperor Changqing.

Emperor Changqing spoke first: "The queen mother is not frightened, is she? ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and invited Emperor Changqing to sit in, and her tone was embarrassed: "Tiangu eats the day, and the mourning family has experienced it." ”

"The Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother smiled: "The emperor was still young at the time, I'm afraid I don't remember." On that Tengu Eclipse Day, the ministers invited the Qing monarch to the side, and Concubine Chen was ordered to die by the first emperor at that time. ”

Speaking of Concubine Chen, Emperor Changqing didn't have any impression, but he was familiar with this name.

Concubine Chen favored the harem back then, and even openly disposed of pregnant concubines, but the first emperor turned a blind eye to this, and his father and brother were even more unscrupulous, causing the people to complain and the officials to be indignant.

Later, as soon as Concubine Chen died, the Chen family was uprooted, and the front and back courts were stable.

"Your Majesty, there have been frequent visions recently, and the Tengu Eclipse Day has been regarded as a symbol of the immorality of monarchs and ministers since ancient times, I wonder what your plans are?"

When he mentioned this, Emperor Changqing was full of annoyance: "I have already issued an edict for my own sin, and the edict ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a good day and an auspicious day to worship the sky with the prince. ”

"Prince?" The Queen Mother's eyes flashed.

Emperor Changqing couldn't help asking, "Didn't the queen mother also hear those rumors?" ”

The Queen Mother nodded slowly.

"It is precisely for this reason that I asked the prince to sacrifice to heaven with me. I can't let the prince of a country be deposed because of rumors, otherwise this case will be opened, and the future will be endless. ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time and sighed: "It's good for the emperor to think like this, but has the emperor thought about it, what if it's not a rumor?" ”

Emperor Changqing suddenly got up and said in a lost voice: "What does the queen mother know?" ”

"No, the mourning family doesn't know more than the emperor. It's just that there must be a reason for the groundless, rumors are still the truth, true and false, false and true, which requires the emperor to distinguish well. ”

Seeing that Emperor Changqing was silent, the Queen Mother said lightly: "The mourning family just thinks that since Hua's family can do something to murder the prince, it may not be impossible to do the thing of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix." (To be continued.) )
