Chapter 10: Calamity


The time is frozen in the year 972 of the Shanghe period.This year, in addition to the Nanji Continent, the Terrans still had a lot of territory on the Middle-earth Continent.There are three kingdoms in this land bordering the demons, and the Xuanyuan Empire is the most advanced defense line of the Terran race, with its strong strength and superior geographical conditions, it has simply stopped the pace of the demon invasion.On this day, a vision suddenly appeared in the originally gray sky.A golden light pierced the clouds, directly enveloping the entire Xuanyuan City."

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Princess Li was born!

It's a prince!

It's a little prince!

”A servant girl hurried into the main hall, ignoring the group of ministers around her, and shouted loudly at the majestic man on the throne with a crown on his head."

What!

A prince?

………… Ha ha!

My Xuanyuan family finally has a successor, God bless me!

God bless me!

”This king is the current lord of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Zhulie, who has a gray beard, is 54 years old this year, and has had two children before, but they are both women.It is said that he was once cursed by a demon, and there was no successor to him, but today the news of breaking the curse is really exciting.Even some people began to shout: "Hail to the lord of the country!"

My Xuanyuan Empire will last forever!

”In the sacrificial hall, a small wooden boat floats on a beautifully designed pool, on which a sleeping baby lies.There were several priests dressed in strange costumes, one of whom was an old priest with a rune pattern on his face who was sprinkling some powder into the pool.King Xuanyuan stood on the high platform, watching everything in front of him with a loving face."

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Big things are wrong!

Big things are wrong!

”This sudden sound interrupted the sacred ceremony, and at the same time angered the king, who had so finally won a noble son."

Bastard thing!

Dare to run and shout at this time, come here!

Drag me down and cut it down!

”The chief of the guard on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, this person is a subordinate of the Great Commander, the long-term resident officer of the Stargazing Observatory, and he may be offended if there is something important." ”Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhulie hesitated for a moment and then changed his words: "Take it down first, and this king will come back for interrogation later." ”Being so troubled by this, the originally sacred baptism ceremony has become boring.When the hurried was over, the king was furious and led a group of guards to the short-sighted fellow to ask him for his guilt, and if there was no good reason for him to die.It is also strange to say that it is impossible for ordinary officials to enter the main hall casually, but this guy in a high position can't remember who it is for a while.The official positions in this world from small to large are: Yong, Shaoping, Siping, Zhengping, Shaoyue, Siyue, Taiyue, Taibao, Xuantaibao, Si Ming, Da Si Ming, Huang Empire, Xiu Huang Empire, Realm Divine Official, Great Realm Divine Official, and God Emperor.The identity of the lord of one's own country can only get the title of the Huang Empire, and the most powerful king in the whole world can only reach the identity of the Xiuhuang Empire.At the next level, the current priest needs the strength of a demigod or above, and cannot be a local lord.The Grand Priest can only be at the quasi-god level, and he cannot be a local lord.All these official appointments were issued by the founder of the era, and the founder of this era was also the highest god emperor, the god incarnation of mankind.Looking at the guy kneeling on the ground with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, Xuanyuan Zhulie felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.His official position must not be low, otherwise he would not have been able to break into the sacrificial hall so casually."

Don't report your name yet!"

The guard shouted loudly."

Wechen Xuan Taibao Mu Kang has seen Your Majesty!"

Mukon?

After hearing the name, Xuanyuan remembered it.This guy is a famous student, before entering the officialdom was quite prominent, and later recommended by the great secretary of the Ming De Changjun, as the resident official of the stargazing platform, because of his strong ability, predicted a lot of natural disasters, and recovered a lot of losses for the people, so he has a very high reputation in the city.These matters have always been handled by the Great Secretary of the Great Division, so Xuanyuan Zhulie and Mu Kang basically have no chance of contact, and it is normal that they can't think of it for a while.After knowing his identity, Xuanyuan's anger also decreased a lot, after all, this guy can be regarded as a meritorious hero for the empire."

Tell me why you suddenly broke into the sacrificial hall and ruined the little prince's baptismal ceremony.""

Your Majesty!

With all due respect, my Xuanyuan Empire is about to come to a catastrophe!

”Originally, half of the anger had been dissipated, and when I heard this, it instantly made people angry again."

Bastard!

Under my rule, the whole country has been in good weather, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment.The demon forces are even more suppressed outside the gate, and they can't offend me at all.Where did the catastrophe come?

If you don't tell me the reason today, this king will behead you for the sin of deceiving the people!"

”Listening to such threatening words, ordinary people would have been scared for a long time, but Mu Kang didn't see the slightest change in his expression, and he still looked righteous and awe-inspiring.I saw him flick his sleeves lightly, and said indifferently: "Wei Chen has been observing the stars for the past few nights, and everything was normal originally, but suddenly a natural disaster star came, breaking the previous peaceful national fortune.I wonder if Your Majesty has heard rumors that the golden light is shrouding the royal city?

”"Of course, there are so many people who have seen the golden light, and even this king feels a little bit in the city, what is so strange?

Shouldn't the golden light be a sign of peace?

”Mu Kang shook his head: "This golden light is not only not a sign of peace, but on the contrary, it is the arrival of the Heavenly Calamity Star, representing the power to destroy everything.It has been recorded many times in ancient books, and if Your Majesty does not believe it, you can ask someone to check it now. ”"Humph!

The power to destroy everything can only mean that a strong person is born, and the strong will not be able to destroy themselves. ”"If Weichen only sees these things, he may have the same thoughts as His Majesty, but the subsequent astrological signs show that after the arrival of this calamity star, everything has become dim, and there is even a spectacle of the fall of the stars.This kind of great omen is definitely not an alarmist whisper, several officials of the stargazing platform have witnessed this scene, and His Majesty can order someone to send them to ask them to know. ”Hearing this, Xuanyuan's face gradually became gloomy.Different from the previous anger, this time he really had a murderous intent, a strong killing intent spread out, and even the surrounding guards began to tremble coldly after feeling this killing intent."

What is the plague in your mouth.........

The Little Prince?

”"Your Majesty is wise!

I hope that Your Majesty can consider the people of the whole country and make a decision as soon as possible!

”"With a few astrological signs talking nonsense here, are you really not afraid that this king will kill you?""

As we all know, Your Majesty was cursed by the demons in his early years, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to have any more children.And this baby who should not have appeared is the product of a demonic curse......"" is a bunch of nonsense!

Someone!

Put this disobedient man in prison!

Tomorrow at noon, ask on the street!

”The guards had already been deterred by the king's murderous aura, and when they heard the words, they dared to delay, so they went up and dragged Mu Kang away."

Your Majesty think twice!

Weichen is brave and loyal!

I hope that Your Majesty will focus on the overall situation!

The people of the whole country are the most important!

”"Drag it off!"

Originally, it was a major event that should be celebrated by the whole country, but I didn't expect such a bad omen to appear.With Mu Kang's personality and his reputation among the people, it stands to reason that he would not make up such a thing with nonsense, and it is true that he was cursed by the demons, which shows that what he predicted may be true.Xuanyuan Zhulie fell into confusion and struggle for a while, no matter how he said that this is his only bloodline, he is the best candidate to inherit the Xuanyuan family, even if any misfortune happens, he will not attack his own flesh and blood.But what if this catastrophe did lead to the fall of the empire?

Thinking about it, he unconsciously walked to Princess Li's bedroom."

Your Majesty, here you are!

Zhen'er just fell asleep. ”When Princess Li saw him coming, she wanted to sit up with the help of her maidservant and salute her.Seeing this, Xuanyuan Zhulie hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her."

Concubine Ai, don't move, your body hasn't recovered yet, just lie down, just lie down."

After comforting Princess Li, she looked at the sleeping baby in her arms, and gradually fell into deep thought.It was only a moment later that a strong thought came to my mind: This is the bloodline of my Xuanyuan family, and no matter who tries to harm him, this king will not agree.…… Next.Xuanyuan Zhulie, who was sitting in the back garden with his eyes closed, was suddenly woken up by the sound of a guard's announcement."

Your Majesty!

As noon approached, the prisoner Mu Kang had been escorted to the market, and I wonder if His Majesty would be present at the scene. ”Thinking of this guy's reputation among the people, Xuanyuan Zhulie also wanted to see what kind of scene would be caused by beheading him, and immediately responded: "Prepare for driving!"

”I thought that I would only encounter some trouble in the market, but I didn't expect that as soon as I walked out of the palace, I was stopped by a group of officials.As far as the eye could see, there was a person kneeling at the gate of the palace, and the Great Si Ming De Changjun suddenly appeared at the front of the team.Although this man is in a high position, he seems to be very incorruptible.Compared with the officials around him who are full of fat brains and big bellies, he looks so thin, and his gray beard also makes him look more vicissitudes, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there is a slight gloom in his vicissitudes.Seeing this, Xuanyuan Zhulie was very dissatisfied and said, "What are you doing here?

”Hearing this, De Changjun did not speak, but an official beside him knelt forward and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty!

Xuan Taibao can't kill it!

I hope Your Majesty will think twice!

”"The following is guilty!

Why can't such rebels and thieves be killed?!

”"Xuan Taibao has always been dedicated and loyal to the country, how can he offend His Majesty for no reason, there must be something else hidden, please think twice!"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan was furious and scolded loudly: "Bold!

Are you saying that the king is slandering him?

”"Wechen don't dare!

Wechen don't dare!

”Seeing that the king was angry, De Changjun finally spoke: "Your Majesty!

Please listen to the old minister. ”This interruption made Xuanyuan Zhulie temporarily ignore the disrespect of the official just now, in fact, he also wanted to hear what the head of the hundred officials could say."

You say!""

The old minister thinks that even if Xuan Taibao commits an unforgivable sin, he can't be easily beheaded."

Why is that?

Wasn't the sin of disobedience enough to cost his head?

”"Extraordinary times are very handled, Your Majesty, please think twice.""

How to deal with extraordinary times and how to deal with extraordinary times?

Tell me about it. ”"Mu Kang is an honest person, he has always been diligent in government and loves the people, he is loved by the people, and he has made many miraculous contributions to the country."

I know all of this, you go on.""

Now that the demons have repeatedly violated my border, at this moment, we must unite the people and unite with the outside world, if we kill the meritorious people now, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the hearts of the people, and we will only do a hundred harms and no benefits!"

Xuanyuan listened to it reasonably, and his anger disappeared a lot."

But is that what he did in the past?""

Your Majesty's heart is like the sea and the sky, if you do this, you can forgive him, and spreading it will only make the people love him more."

Xuanyuan Zhulie has never been a mediocre king, and his heart is much broader than that of ordinary people, and after weighing the pros and cons, he said lightly: "If he is willing to confess his sins and stop saying those words that bewitch the people in the future, this king can consider not bothering with him." ”Hearing that the king was relieved, a group of officials shouted His Majesty's Shengming under the leadership of De Changjun.…… on the market.Hundreds of guards in bright armor blocked the water around the court.Hundreds of people watched the prisoner kneeling in the center of the court through the human wall, some shouting his name, some weeping bitterly, and some sturdy young people trying to break away from the guards.It is conceivable how high the status of this Xuan Taibao is in the eyes of the people.Xuanyuan Zhulie sat in the main seat in the center of the law enforcement platform surrounded by all the officials, and on the surface it seemed to be unfazed, but in fact, he was also shocked by such a scene, it seems that this guy really can't be killed.When the scene was quiet, everyone's eyes were on themselves, waiting for the final verdict.Since he has no intention of killing him, I just hope that this guy can get to know each other a little bit and take the initiative to confess."

Xuantaibao Mu Kang!

Are you guilty?

”Mu Kang, who had been drooping his head, slowly raised his head after hearing this, and looked at Xuanyuan Zhulie in the center of the law enforcement platform.Although he looked haggard, his expression was still so unwavering."

The sinner is guilty!

……… Sinners deserve death!

”Hearing his confession, all the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that this guy would still work against the king when he was dying.Xuanyuan Zhulie also nodded with satisfaction: "Since you know the sin, then the king asks you, will you still say such rebellious remarks in the future?"

”Hearing this, Mu Kang smiled faintly, shook his head and responded, "Did Your Majesty misunderstand what Wei Chen meant?"

”"What?

What do you mean?

”"The sin that Wei Chen confessed is that he did not say that His Majesty was moved to eliminate the calamity!

It's the sin that knows it's coming, but it's powerless!

It is the sin that sees the country about to perish, and the people do nothing!

The above crimes, even if Wei Chen dies a hundred times, it is not enough to wash away such a heinous crime!

”"Bastard!"

At this moment, I don't know who is leading the crowd, and slowly, the people shouted together: "Eliminate the disaster star!"

Scourge Star!

Scourge Star!

”For a time the whole bazaar resounded with such a voice, and it seemed that such gossip had already spread, and the people of the whole city thought that the newborn little prince was a bad omen.A voice like a spell lingered in Xuanyuan's mind, as if all the evil thoughts in his heart had awakened at once.Now his eyes had begun to redden, his teeth were clattering, and the tendons on his neck had flown out with anger."

Shut up!

Whoever is saying these words, the king will kill whom!

”This sound was made with internal strength, where could ordinary people stand it, they stopped shouting for a while, covered their heads and wailed in pain.Mu Kang in the law field was the first to bear the brunt, only to see him spit out a mouthful of old blood, the expression on his face did not seem to be very painful, but showed an unwilling emotion, and then laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha!"

I think I, Mu Kang, have been loyal to the country all my life, but I can't stop this world-destroying disaster!

Let my death awaken the conscience of His Majesty!

Whether it is to eradicate the Calamity Star or to plunge the Xuanyuan Empire into a place of no return!

”"Nonsense!

It's nonsense!

Lies to confuse the public in vain and attempt to harm my son, it is simply a pity to die!

Someone!

Execute!

Kill this demon for me!

”Just as the executioner was about to go forward to execute, the surrounding people began to boil again, and in addition to their incessant loud shouts, many people began to throw debris at the executioner in the court.For a while, eggs and vegetables flew all over the sky, as if all this had been arranged in advance.Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Qilie angrily urged: "Cut!

Behead him for me!

”The embarrassed executioner had no choice but to let the debris fall on him, and he picked up the ghost-headed broadsword and prepared to cut it down."

Bang!"

After a muffled sound, the executioner, who had not had time to wield the broadsword, was knocked to the ground by a stone."

Bastard!

You can't do the opposite. ”At this time, an official stepped forward to support Xuanyuan Zhulie's body, which was trembling with anger."

Your Majesty!

The will of the people cannot be violated, so let's postpone the execution!

”Regulus pushed his hand away."

What public opinion cannot be violated, do you want me to obey these people and let them kill my king?""

Weichen doesn't dare!""

Let go of Lord Xuantaipo!

Let go of Lord Mukan!

”The noisy voices kept coming from the crowd, and the anger in Xuanyuan Zhulie's heart had become more and more uncontrollable.Tell me to let him go!

Does my king deserve to die?

You bastards!

Unforgivable!

I saw him burst into a loud shout, and several officials and tables, chairs and benches around him were all shocked and flew out, only the Great Si Ming De Changjun was still standing firmly in place and was not affected, because he was a saint-level strength like the king.Xuanyuan came to the center of the court with a dodge, and before Mu Kang could see his movements clearly, he only felt a suffocating pain coming from his chest."

Demons!

Whoever instructed you to do this, today will surely be your time of death!

”As his life gradually passed, Mu Kang did not show a trace of pain until he died, and he still read unyieldingly in his mouth before he died: "Eliminate the disaster star......

Empire ......

Contrarily......

The country will not be a country......

Your Majesty ......"

With a poof, Xuanyuan Zhulie didn't wait for him to finish, and fiercely withdrew the arm that pierced his chest.Mukon fell to the ground with a bang.Looking around at the people who began to cry sadly, Xuanyuan felt dizzy for a while, and the whole world was constantly spinning.This situation is the first time in his life that he has faced, what did he do wrong?

Since ascending to the throne, he has always been diligent in government and loves the people, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, but in the end they are not as good as a stargazing god.Strongly held on to prevent his body from falling, and left the court under the escort of a group of guards, all the way in a trance, did he really lose the hearts of the people like this?

On the law enforcement platform, the chief priest looked at the king's distant figure, and a sinister smile inadvertently appeared between the corners of his mouth.
