When the army entered the capital, they were warmly received by the people, who threw flowers and fragrant fruits to them generously.

There was also a lot of praise in the court. The Su and Wen families already had quite a strong foundation, and when their children made great contributions, naturally there would be people working hard for them.

No one noticed that after Wen Xin returned to Beijing, he was the first to go to Prime Minister Wang's residence, but he left with an unmoved expression.

Afterwards, the Shangshu Ling, the ministers of various ministries, and the Nine Ministers either closed their doors and ignored the letters that came to their doors, or talked about other things.

The eldest son of the Xu family sent Uncle Wen to the door, waved his hand and went back to his father's study.

Xu Yan, dressed in home clothes, was seen sitting leisurely behind the desk, holding a white jade chess piece between his thin fingertips, and was reluctant to put it down.

The flickering candlelight swayed, and under the dim light, the fine lines on Xu Yan's face were blurred.

"Sent away"

"Yes," the eldest son of the Xu family nodded, and then asked in confusion, "Why didn't father tell Lord Wen about the goddess's miracle? Maybe he would understand it."

Wen Xin repeatedly visited important officials and persuaded them to write letters to oppose the goddess, using contemptuous language and regarding the goddess as a big liar.

In the eyes of the eldest son of the Xu family who believed it without a doubt, the uncle of the Wen family had reached a dead end.

"Do you think other people haven't said it? The old guy Wang Xiang must have mentioned it hypocritically, but the kid from the Wen family has changed his mind."

Xu Yan snorted in an ambiguous tone, and the chess piece fell on the chessboard with a clatter. "If that's the case, why waste your breath?"

What he didn't say was that some people might push Uncle Wen to test the goddess' bottom line.

How would a goddess who is high above or a goddess who has come down to earth to endure tribulation react when faced with people who slander her and accuse her of being a liar?

Another consideration was how to highlight their devotion and faith to the goddess by not opposing or refuting those who opposed them.

The best way for believers to please God is to offer the bodies of heretics and unbelievers.

………………

"I heard there's been some unrest among the people these past two days?"

Ms. Yang was shocked and cold sweat broke out on her back.

Since the army returned to Beijing, General Su and Uncle Wen have been spreading rumors that the Goddess of Mount Tai is a liar.

This nonsense should have disappeared quickly, but for some reason it has become more and more intense.

Originally, it was fine for the common people to believe in matters of gods and ghosts, and they were in a state of half-belief and half-doubt, so what would happen if rumors came out?

In the market, people were everywhere making outrageous remarks, implying or even explicitly saying that Your Majesty and the court ministers had been cheated by a liar.

Although there were still many people defending the goddess, the Buddhist community was extremely active and did their best to protect the goddess.

But no one can guarantee that the goddess will not be angry and even cause blood to flow...

Now the goddess actually knows about it.

Lady Yang was anxious, but she remained calm and said, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. These are just the crazy words of some ignorant people."

Ling Xin, who was combing the hair of the god in her mind very seriously, had a cold look in her eyes, but her hands became gentler.

These people are bastards who deceive the goddess!

A general and the king's brother-in-law harmed the goddess under their protection, and no one punished them.

According to her, these blasphemers should be cut into pieces!

"Crazy talk? Only crazy people would talk crazy talk, don't you think?" A pair of pitch-black eyes seemed to contain infinite madness and darkness, which went straight into the deepest part of people's hearts.

Seeing that Lady Yang didn't dare to say anything more, Ling Xiao said calmly, "Tomorrow morning, ask Li Yue to save a seat for me."

"Yes," Ms. Yang answered in a panic, not daring to question at all. After retreating, she walked faster and faster and finally almost ran towards the palace where the emperor lived.

"Host, do you want the Warming Cream, or the Disfiguring Powder, or this Fertility Pill..."

The system smelled something was going on and actively recommended props to help Ling Xiao's career.

As the name suggests, the warming cream is something for that purpose. The system's products are extremely effective and guarantee that after using it, you will be as sleepless as the male protagonist of a certain Tang.

It is indeed a great product for palace fighting. The only drawback is that once it is applied, it takes effect immediately, no matter where the person is.

There is no need to say much about disfigurement powder, it is a sure-fire way to attack your love rivals, a small handful of it will turn you from a beautiful woman into a demon.

"Don't be in a hurry, just do it randomly when the time comes." Ling Xiao waved his hand.

She lightly tapped the props accumulated from the previous series of actions. If a low-level host saw them, they would get red eyes.

It covers almost 80% of the props that can be produced on the palace fighting set!

"They dared to spread rumors about me. Naturally, I will give them a big reward."

In his eyes, the black energy on the host became unprecedentedly active.

........................

The emperor put down his pen and asked, "Is that what the goddess said?"

"Not a single falsehood."

"Yan Pei, I remember there was a throne in the storeroom?"

The eunuch spoke in a soothing and natural manner:

"Yes, it was made by the last emperor of the previous dynasty. It was inlaid with rare treasures and used three thousand taels of red gold alone. Taizu said it was too extravagant, so he never used it."

Li Yue laughed. His youthful appearance gave him a different kind of handsomeness:

"Aunt is of noble status, so naturally only the best things can match her."

Yan Pei understood what he meant, and ordered people to move the throne out and place it next to the emperor's throne.

The extremely luxurious and noble throne was actually slightly lower than the imperial throne. The accompanying disciples were trembling with fear:

"Master, isn't this an overstepping of authority?"

The eunuch gave him a slap on the face:

"You know nothing. The goddess is going to attend court. Can she just get a random chair?"

Not long after, the emperor's news was sealed again, and the outside court had no idea that Ling Xiao was going to attend the court.

In the palace, Empress Wen was extremely anxious. Her brother was so reckless that he wanted to go against the goddess, and he wouldn't listen to her advice.

That goddess said she was a god, but who knew she was a spoiled, willful ghost!

"Go, take this letter from me out of the palace and make sure to give it to Xin'er." Queen Wen gritted her teeth, unable to bear to see her brother die.

The confidant delivered the letter. Wen Xin unfolded it and read ten lines at a glance. He sighed and shook his head, thinking that his sister had been too cautious since entering the palace.

She has completely lost the spirit she had in her youth and is now as superstitious as a country woman, believing in ghosts and gods.

"Since that liar is coming to court tomorrow, I will expose her scam in front of everyone!"

The Wen family was already prominent and had the title of Duke. After the empress was enthroned, the mother's family was given additional titles according to custom, and Wen Xin was given the title of Earl.

He made great contributions in defeating the Hu and Man tribes this time. He went deep into the barbarian court to alienate the ruler and his ministers, and single-handedly accelerated the downfall of the Hu and Man tribes.

The earl was promoted to marquis, and the title only lasted three generations. Once such a chosen one made up his mind about something, it would be difficult to change his mind.

Wen Xin sneered and ordered, "Bring the group of liars locked up in the backyard here."

Soon, a group of people, some monks and some Taoists, appeared. As soon as they saw Wen Xin, they began to beg for mercy. If someone who knew him saw this scene, they would definitely not believe it.

Because there are Liu Shenpo who can understand yin and yang, San Xiangu who raises fox spirits, and the Taoist priest who is good at making elixirs in Baiyang Temple... They are all well-known "experts" in the field of gods and ghosts.

"Tomorrow you will perform your tricks again and then tell them the tricks, understand?"

The experts looked embarrassed but nodded.

There is no way, our lives are in the hands of others.

Wen Xin smiled with satisfaction, feeling that he had a sure win. No matter how sophisticated the tricks were, with this group of people leading the way, His Majesty and the ministers would be able to realize that they had been deceived.

Even if they can't, as the saying goes, competitors are enemies, and this group of people can expose the scam when they get together.

"Damn liar, your time of death has come"
