Chapter 518 (1/2)
”But your majesty, now our big business has a serious foreign invasion, and those rebellious princes have not been solved.”
Wen Zhong suddenly thought of another thing and hurriedly said, ”if the news that the army was frozen to death comes out, I'm afraid it will lead the officials to think that we have sinned against God, or God bless Xiqi. At that time, the people will be panic, and the disordered officials and thieves will make a big fuss about it...”
There are ghosts and gods in this world, and people fear God very much, even more than the king of Shang.
This is a very serious problem.
Therefore, Emperor Xin's great grandfather once brought his own people in front of many people and shot at the sky with bows and arrows in order to eliminate the fear of ghosts and gods in people's hearts.
It is said that there were blood drops falling from the sky.
But then he was killed by lightning, which also made the people more and more awe of heaven.
When Di Xin heard this, he looked down and clenched his fist.
Now, the snowfall in Tianting has frozen to death the 100000 troops fighting for the West.
Once it comes out, the people who don't know the truth will think that the big business has sinned against heaven again.
The ministers were uncertain when they heard this, and the rebellious ministers would be ecstatic when they heard the news, which was a sign that he and the big business were exhausted.
Wen Zhong's words were right, which was what he feared in his heart.
Although he has the powerful power to change gods and demons, the foundation of human king is also human. He has lost the support of the people. Who is he talking about?
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Xin's eyes flashed and looked at the knife in his hand: ”don't worry!”
”But...” Wen Zhong hesitated.
”The news can't be concealed. I'm afraid it has spread to the dynasty song now. Even if we don't tell it, the situation is not necessarily better than now.”
Emperor Xin said slowly, ”only the blood of the two dragons can pay tribute to the spirits of the dead soldiers in heaven. If the heaven doesn't give an explanation, Gu will ask for an explanation himself.”
Wen Zhong opened his mouth and finally turned into a sigh: ”all right!”
——
Di xinguess was right. It happened in Xiqi. It was enough to spread all over the world in half a month, and it had already arrived at the dynasty song.
In the morning of the next day, an event shocked the court, inside and outside the palace.
First, a minister mentioned that the 100000 troops in the western expedition were completely destroyed in Jinjiling and frozen to death by a heavy snow.
Then the emperor of Shang was furious and challenged the two Dragon Kings of the West Sea and the North Sea, the Tianting Zhengshen who had fallen the heavy snow, to make a song to explain to them.
Many ministers were shocked and said that the matter was unknown, which was an offence to heaven.
Not only should we not challenge the gods, we should also kneel down to worship the heaven and ask the gods for forgiveness.
Emperor Xin refused. He beat the two ministers who took the lead in advising them with 30 sticks and put them in prison, waiting for their release.
When the news spread, the world was shocked.
As Wen Zhong expected, the people who did not know the truth were naturally in panic, and the princes of the rebels did not miss the opportunity to exaggerate that the great business spirit was exhausted by the freezing death of 100000 troops.
For a time, the world was in chaos.
……
On the other side, Lu Chuan also left jin'ao island and embarked on his way home.
Shen Gongbao left with him.
But instead of the being with the him, he went to Penglai Island to ask a frank friend to help him.
It is often said that the mind is simple.
As for Tongtian, Lu Chuan asked him to do another thing.
But how to get that hand out this time is also a question worth thinking about.
