Zhi Xuan

In one day, news that a huge boulder fell from the sky and killed and injured several royal families spread throughout the capital city.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, from disbelief to confirmation, from suspicion to shock.

In the palace, the queen and Mrs. Ji were equally shocked when they heard the news. They each sent people to the hunting grounds. They didn't need to go into the center, but only inquired outside, hoping to obtain more detailed information.

The reactions of the clans in the city were similar.

The clans are no strangers to meteorites, and they can find several records in the history books.The most recent time was in the Eastern Liang Kingdom, when the sky was bright at night, a huge rock fell, ignited a fire, and destroyed a large area of ​​fertile land.

The meteorite was huge, comparable to a chariot, and half of it was not burned, smashing out a huge deep pit.

According to historical records, the day after the meteorite fell, the Marquis of Dongliang led his clan to perform sacrifices for several consecutive times, which lasted for a whole month.

After the sacrifice, the unburned meteorites were handed over to the master craftsman to create two magic weapons.One of them entered Xiyuan Kingdom with Mrs. Liang as her dowry, and was passed on to Zhi Xuan after her death.

In the era of offering sacrifices to the gods, meteorites fell from the sky was a big deal.

Some people regard it as a gift from God, while others regard it as a curse from God.

Shiluo Dongliang State can be attributed to the former.It landed on the field, just in the middle of the night, without harming the lives of people or animals, and left enough materials for the Dongliang Kingdom to forge a magic weapon.

In contrast, the one that landed on the hunting ground looked like the latter.

The princes of the world gathered in the capital city, and they were accompanied by historians.

Witnessing meteorites falling from the sky with their own eyes, the historians kept writing while they kept communicating. Looking back at the records of their predecessors, they found out that meteorites falling are not uncommon, and it is rare for people to be killed by meteorites.

In the era when the land was vast and sparsely populated, there were few people living a hundred miles away from the city, and there were more wild animals than people everywhere.

What kind of probability is it that a boulder falls from the sky, not hundreds of them, and smashes people flat with incomparable precision?

There is no way to explain the matter, it can only be attributed to miracles.

It must be that the person committed a big mistake and persisted in his evil, which made the gods angry and ghosts angry, so that he would be punished by heaven.Taking [-] steps back is bad luck, too bad to fail.Otherwise, hundreds of people gathered in the forest, why the stone didn't fall on other people's heads, but fell on him?

The historians recorded truthfully, without personal perception.But the word "truthfully" is enough for the royal family to drink a pot.In the era of the family-oriented clan, if an accident happened to an important member of the family, it would more or less involve the clansman.

Only one member of the royal family lost his life, and no more than two slaps were injured.When the meteorite fell, most people dodged in time, and some rolled on the ground. Only two people were seriously injured, and the rest were mostly minor injuries.

More private soldiers were seriously injured, and some had extensive burns on their arms and thighs in order to save the royal family, and they would be unable to move for a long time.

In view of this, Zhi Xuan had to shelve the plan, put on a show, and rescue people together with Wang Huai who rushed over.

Probably never encountered a similar situation, the man Wang Huai was busy counting the wounded, and he didn't think to keep his mouth shut for a moment, and the princes would not act on his behalf because of their own standpoint.

The result is that the news cannot be concealed, and before the meeting is over, rumors are already spreading in the city.Everyone was chattering, and the news became more and more outrageous, and soon the city was full of disturbances.

Obviously only one person died, but after a lot of people's mouths, things gradually went out of line, from single digits to tens of digits, and it was even reported that half of the royal family who accompanied the hunting party were crushed to death.

According to the rumors, the number of wounded surged, and the royal family's private soldiers were all unavoidable, and as many as hundreds of people were seriously injured and unable to move.

"This is the punishment of God!"

At the end, everyone had to add mysteriously that everything that happened in the hunting ground was not an accident, it was the royal family who committed many evils and misfortunes, which caused the wrath of the gods and condemned them.

Members of the royal family are the cause of the disaster, and the man Wang Huai will inevitably be affected.

Most people have doubts, do not speak clearly, but think behind their backs.As the matter spread more and more widely, the man Wang Huai encountered an indiscriminate disaster, and his dignity was greatly affected.

"If the virtues of the royal family are not worthy, there must be great evil. Otherwise, the stone will fall from the sky, why not hit others?"

In most people's minds, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will naturally lead to good luck, and evil deeds should be punished.

There are ready-made examples in front of you. Xiyuan Hou is benevolent and loves the people, Xiyuan country is thriving, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, everything is developing in a good direction.Everyone in the royal family is fighting like dogs, working together with the villain to slander and spread rumors against Xi Yuanhou, and now they must be punished.

There are more and more similar rumors, and Maoshang and others acted quickly and tried their best to promote it.

The development of the matter is somewhat different from the plan, but the result is not too much deviation.

With the help of this shareholder style, the royal family's notoriety was directly fixed to death, making it impossible to stand up in the eyes of the world.In this way, no matter what Zhi Xuan does in the future, he will uphold justice and eliminate harm for the people.

The changes in the city cannot be hidden from the palace, nor can it be hidden from the clan.

There is obviously a force behind the rumors, but the general trend, the matter is irreversible, even if there are thousands of methods, it will not help.

It was true that the meteorite fell from the sky, and so were the deaths and injuries of members of the royal family.

It is impossible to falsify the records written by the historian.

Even if some individual records can pick out flaws, and historians from all over the world gather together to witness the whole incident, it is impossible for everyone to remember it wrong.

Some members of the royal family realized that something was wrong, but they couldn't do anything in the end.

They can't take away the historian's pen, let alone block the mouths of Youyou.If you really dare to do this, you will be abandoned by the people of the world.At that time, it will not be the decline of the family, but not far from the extermination of the clan.

Clans will perish, and so will royal families.

When the situation is necessary, the palace will definitely abandon the pawns to protect the chariot, sacrifice one or several branches of the royal family to exchange interests with the princes, in exchange for the support or neutrality of the other party, and take the opportunity to quell the rumors and ensure the stability of the central capital.

There is no need to explain things clearly, as long as the superiors express, someone will naturally be willing to do it for them.

The royal family is not monolithic.

The bloodline branches compete with each other for power and profit, and they all want to be trusted and reused by the King of Kings, and do everything possible to develop the family and gain greater power.

The space around the King of Kings is limited, if someone wants to squeeze in, someone must be pushed out.

Gradually, Maoshang and others discovered that there were a lot of pushers behind the rumors, making waves and fueling the flames, and many of them were from other branches of the royal family.

They can't wait to bite each other even when they are so impatient, and they are really crazy.

Realizing this situation, Maoshang and the others had nothing to say.It can be seen how stupid it is to be so short-sighted and only care about immediate interests.

Your actions are too light and too cautious.

Dealing with this kind of person doesn't require careful planning, hanging a piece of meat can lead them to kill each other.

The clans in the city also shook their heads.

Such a royal family is really hopeless.Don't think about repentance when a catastrophe is imminent, let alone restore the glory of the ancestors, it is unknown whether you can save your life.

In the palace, after listening to the servant's report, the queen laughed angrily.

Previously, I had the heart to rescue a few to help my son grow up.Now completely dismiss the idea.Such idiots don't need to be protected, it's better for the newly ascended king if they are cleaned up all at once.

It's better for a royal family to wither than a group of people to hold them back.It seems that the power is weak, but it is actually a life after death.If you don't drag a group of idiots along, you don't need to look forward and backward, and you don't need to be shy, which is better for the future development.

The queen and the clan are in line, letting the tense develop and not preparing to intervene.

A group of members of the royal family were completely abandoned. There was no way to recover from this, and they were destined to become victims.

Ironically, these members of the royal family were pushed to their death before Zhi Xuan had time to act.The instigators are not others, but their blood relatives.

Due to meteorites and royal family casualties, the meeting ended early.

The man Wang Huai and the princes got off the chariot one after another, built an altar in front of the huge pit, and sacrificed the prey to hold an impromptu sacrifice.

The shamans in Zhongdu City were driven to the shelves without any preparation in advance, and there was no regulation on how to read the shamans.

Relying on Dongliang Hou's righteous help, sending people to find the witches in the camp, and exchanging experience with the witches in Zhongdu City, this sacrifice did not open the skylight.

In the middle of the sacrifice, a bright light flashed across the sky again, and three meteorites fell in a row, scattered around the hunting ground, not to mention hurting people, not even hitting a wild animal.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and it was even more true that the royal family was punished by heaven, and there was no possibility of turning over.

Human Wang Huai was full of bitterness, but he couldn't show the slightest bit.Stepping up the crumbling wooden ladder, holding up the head of the beast, offering it to the sky, hoping to calm the anger of the gods.

The princes followed the king to sacrifice, but their eyes were not on the altar, but they looked at Zhixuan one after another.

If they remember correctly, the unlucky guy at the bottom of the pit was uttering wild words before he was crushed to death, accusing Xi Yuanhou every word, denouncing him to be punished by heaven.

Unexpectedly, the boulder fell from the sky, but the one who suffered was not Xi Yuanhou, but himself.

This is very telling.

I have heard the rumors about Marquis Xiyuan before, and all kinds of miracles are too numerous to enumerate.Seeing it with my own eyes today is really extraordinary.

The destiny is not in the king of people, but in the marquis of Xiyuan.

The Yuan clan will prosper, the feudal lords will rise, and sooner or later, Zhongdu will be replaced.

At that time...

The monarchs are full of excitement, they are calm on the surface, but they are actually planning to make plans for their children and grandchildren, and they must make good friends with Marquis Xiyuan.The monarchs of some small countries even made up their minds and tried every means to hug Xi Yuanhou's thigh, and they would never waver in their adherence to this policy!

After the sacrifice, Wang Huai personally went down to the bottom of the pit to search for the remaining meteorites, but unfortunately found nothing.

On the way back, Zhi Xuan didn't search for the falling meteorite, the meteorite as big as a fist blocked the wheel and easily fell into his hands.

One piece is fine, three pieces in a row, even if you are lucky.

Zhi Xuan looked blankly, looked at the three stones in front of him, and after thinking about it, only one was left, and the other two were given to Zhao Hao and Bei'anhou respectively.

"Thank you, Junhou." Zhao Hao accepted the gift and smiled slightly at Zhi Xuan.

The Marquis of Bei'an smiled from ear to ear, and he had only one thought in his mind: his son was born beautiful, he is really very good!

Seeing this situation, the monarchs thought about it, but none of them thought it was wrong, and no one suggested that the meteorite should be dedicated to the king.

After the hunting ground incident, in the eyes of the princes, the majesty of Zhongdu City plummeted, and the glory of the royal family even disappeared.

It was the royal family who were crushed to death, and it was also the royal family who were accused of being condemned by heaven. The man Wang Huai was destined to be dragged down.

At this moment, the princes are willing to look forward to the alliance together.

The world has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the royal family has also been lying on the credit book for too long.

Now the time is ripe, this huge power should not belong to those who do not want to make progress, it is time to divide it and hold it in the hands of the princes of the world.
