Chapter 165: Heavenly Punishment
In Kyoto of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a thunderbolt suddenly hit the palace in the middle of the night, and the wailing of the golden dragon of luck could be faintly heard.
The officials at all levels of Qin Tianjian suddenly woke up after hearing this sound one by one, and hurriedly got up in the middle of the night and looked at the top of the imperial city, all dumbfounded.
"What's going on?" a middle-aged man rushed out shirtless.
"The golden dragon wailed, this is a problem with the national fortune. "Someone in the light of the lamp is reading at night, looking out the window at the moment.
"Something big must have happened, what happened?"
I only saw the golden dragon in the pillar of luck that originally stood above the imperial city, as if it was baked in flames at this moment, struggling and roaring violently, and the monstrous sin and karma qi derived from the earth, turning into chains, flames, and miasma wrapped around the golden dragon.
Not only did the officials of Qin Tianjian see this scene, but also those Taoist priests and strangers from the Daolu Division also exclaimed: "Heavenly punishment!"
Suddenly, some of them moved: "First, the crape myrtle star has shifted, and the fierce star has appeared." ”
"Then there will be heavenly punishment, why is this?"
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, is it really at some point?"
The thunder fell, and the palace caught fire and burned several palaces in a row, and the firelight reflected half of the sky, and the entire capital was in chaos.
The soldiers, eunuchs, and palace maids in the imperial city all moved to put out the fire with all their might, and they were busy until dawn to extinguish the fire, and several people were burned to death.
As soon as it was dawn, the civil and military officials who learned that there was a fire in the palace gathered at the city gate and waited to greet the emperor.
At this time, a eunuch came out of it, and only a few Zaifu and important officials of the court were allowed to go in to see the emperor.
An old minister who was secretive looked sad: "The officials are clamoring to see Your Majesty at the court meeting, and this happened again today, I'm afraid they can't hide it." ”
Another official also said: "Thunder from the sky, fire in the palace, this is a sign of sins from heaven, according to the usual, there must be an explanation." ”
Qi Jinpeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also spoke at this time: "The most important thing now is the emperor, the national teacher and Yan Xian have been gone for several days, and I don't know what happened, if the emperor can't wake up, he will be really in trouble." ”
Liu Yuanchao finally said: "I will block the hundred officials, and I think I can block it for a few more days." ”
Not only is the situation in Kyoto treacherous and chaotic, but the rise and fall of the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty has directly affected the fluctuation of people's hearts.
All kinds of rumors and rumors about the death of the Great Zhou Dynasty were noisy, and the feudal towns and generals of all parties, who were originally loyal to the Great Zhou, began to fluctuate overnight, and they all had their own careful thoughts.
When the luck is high, the hearts of the people are towards the Great Zhou, even if there are all kinds of chaos, the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty still can't shake the fundamentals, but now this luck stacks, even if the Great Zhou national strength is still strong, but it seems that someone has opened a hole on the dam, and the shaking root may collapse at any time is a landslide and crack.
At the same time, the countries of Middle-earth and the barbarian states outside the Saiwai all set their eyes on the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they also noticed the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the evening of the same day, Zhang Shanshui, the great Zhou national teacher who traveled thousands of miles with the Son of Heaven Yuan Shen, finally arrived in the capital, and the forbidden troops who accompanied him were all left in Dongting Lake, if it weren't for the Dongting Dragon King being injured by Yan Chixia and running fast with him, I am afraid that he and the Son of Heaven would have to be left behind by the Dongting Dragon King.
The entire Daolu Division went to the city gate to greet Zhang Shanshui, together with Liu Yuanchao, the first assistant of the current dynasty.
Zhang Shanshui's bloody and eyeless sight shocked many of his disciples and grandchildren, but what shocked them even more was another god who accompanied Zhang Shanshui in a golden car and couldn't see it with the naked eye.
Although Liu Yuanchao couldn't see it, he could also know something through other people's expressions.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Zhang Shanshui nodded: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"
Liu Yuanchao looked at Zhang Shanshui like this, took two steps back, and bowed gratefully: "Thank you, national teacher." ”
Then it immediately discovered that something was wrong, the forbidden troops who went were gone, and the other person didn't come back with Zhang Shanshui: "What about Yan Xianchang?"
When Zhang Shanshui heard this name, his voice was hoarse for a moment: "The Dragon King of Dongting harbored evil intentions, and with the help of my Great Zhou luck, Yutu sacrificed to my Great Zhou Tens of millions of Li people to re-ascend to the immortal throne, Dongting Lake flooded dozens of states and counties, and the predecessors of Yan resisted the Dongting Dragon King in Xiling County, and finally stopped the flooding and repelled the Dongting Dragon King." ”
Zhang Shanshui was heartbroken: "Senior Yan cut off the immortal Dao Fruit of the Dongting Dragon King, fell into the torrent, and did not know whether he lived or died. ”
Liu Yuanchao was completely stunned, and stood for a long time before coming back to his senses, "The ancient gods and demons such as the Dragon King did not leave the Yan Immortals, and if you think about it, the Ji people will have their own heavenly appearance, and there will be a goodbye day." ”
"Let's hurry into the palace! A lot of things have happened in the capital in the past few days, and the Son of Heaven must wake up. ”
Liu Yuanchao is indeed anxious, although the Son of Heaven is not yet in the dynasty, but he is still the lord of the world, and his absence on this day is the source of the world's troubles.
If someone finds out that something has happened to the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that the world will really collapse in one day.
With the help of Zhang Shanshui, the soul of the Son of Heaven finally returned to the body and woke up, solving the biggest crisis in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty at present, but the next crises did not decrease, but came one after another.

It was just dark, and Qi Jinpeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had just returned from the palace, and before he had time to take a sip of tea, a small servant quietly came to his mansion.
She Chao, under the leadership of a servant, secretly entered Qi Jinpeng's study: "Lord Qi." ”
Qi Jinpeng was sitting precariously, looking so powerful: "Tell me something." ”
She Chao is here on behalf of the Wolf Head Gang, and recently there were only some forces in a bazaar, and the Wolf Head Gang, which relied on a certain noble to survive, expanded rapidly, penetrating into all aspects of the capital, and the intelligence network had penetrated into the palace and the nobles.
Among them, She Chao played a big role, and the role of the Painted Skin Ghost was a little easier than they imagined, and more importantly, through the cooperation with the Painted Skin Ghost, they even mastered a way of becoming a Painted Skin Ghost.
She Chao's identity as a small servant: "The leader of our family wants to know if the emperor has woken up." ”
Qi Jinpeng's eyes immediately lit up: "What do you want to do?"
She Chao finally left cautiously in the dark night with the secret letter of the Ministry of Rites, and although the actors formed various forces and mountains in the capital, they have formed a big net under the secret.
With the movement of people's hearts and the release of various rumors, it is like a signal to remind all parties of the Great Zhou Dynasty that it is time to take action.
