"Um?"

Shunzong was stunned for a moment, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, which disappeared immediately and said with a smile: "What? Monk, a man from outside the world, also wants to step into this quagmire of mortal world?"

"You want me to give up my position as emperor, do you want to sit on this dragon's throne yourself?"

"The emperor does not need to test,"

Chen Yi smiled and said: "If what the young monk knows is true, since the Tang Dynasty, the number of sacrifices to heaven has been greatly reduced, and the rituals have been simplified. Even if they are offering sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven, they are just praying for grain."

The ceremony of worshiping heaven in "history" is naturally very grand and happens every year.

But in this life, what Chen Yi learned was that the Tang Dynasty's annual heaven-sacrifice ceremony could be considered extremely perfunctory.

It was just for the emperor to show his face, pay homage casually, and pray to "Heaven" for a good harvest.

He even suspected that if they hadn't used this method to show off and calm the hearts of the people in the world, the Tang Dynasty might have canceled this ceremony.

Shun Zong smiled and said: "This is because I, the Tang Dynasty, care about the country and care about the people. The first thing to do when offering sacrifices is sincerity. As long as the heart is sincere and respectful, God will be grateful, so why waste time on the people and money?"

"The emperor's golden precepts are true to his words, but don't lie to the little monk."

Chen Yi shook his head and said: "Since you are afraid of laboring the people and damaging your wealth, why do you sacrifice more to the stars in the sky, the sun and the moon, and the Five Emperors, year after year?"

"Hey, monk, what do you want to say?" Shunzong was noncommittal, but he didn't argue.

"Heaven and earth produce all things to nourish people, but people have nothing to repay heaven. Most people in the world are like this. They don't care about relatives and friends, and don't know filial piety. This is really a great evil karma."

Chen Yi sighed: "It is natural for all living beings to regard heaven as their father and earth as their mother. But... if this heaven is not that heaven, how should the emperor deal with himself?"

Shunzong stared at him closely and said slowly: "Monk, do you know what you are talking about?"

Chen Yi smiled slightly and bowed slightly: "Heaven is heaven and man is man. I hope that Your Majesty will not be the 'Emperor', but only be called the Emperor of Human Beings. He will be in charge of the world and be the master. This is what the young monk wants."

"It turns out he is a crazy monk who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Shunzong just shook his head, showing disdain.

"but……"

"The monk has also seen that I am an emperor who is ridiculously tight-knit. I cannot leave the palace. My life and death are in the hands of others. I am a useless person."

Shunzong shook his head and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.

"I have something to say first. If the monk can help me get rid of the rebellious officials and traitors, no matter what you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you. Whatever you want, I will not deny it."

"Amitabha, good, good..."

Chen Yihe lowered his head and rolled his eyes with lowered eyebrows.

It is certain that this emperor is broad-minded and has a deep palace, but he is also an old man.

How long has it been since you started pretending to me...

Well, this is just what he wants.

If it is an Adou who cannot be supported, it will be troublesome.

So far, the emperor's temperament, broadmindedness, and government have all met his requirements.

Shunzong opened his eyes and looked at him at this time, his eyes flashing: "I am a useless person, I am just fighting to the death, but monk...how can you help me?"

Chen Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please keep everything as usual during the banquet tomorrow night."

"Okay, since I have promised you my golden words, everything will depend on you, and..."

Shunzong slowly raised his upper body, trying his best to make himself more upright and dignified: "If it is as the monk said, I can survive tomorrow's disaster, I will definitely confer the monk the title of Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, and I will be the one among the ten thousand people.

I should also respect you as my teacher."

"..."

Chen Yixu lowered his eyes.

Anyway, this is a last ditch effort, and all available chips have been pushed out, so I'm afraid he won't do his best.

It seems that the emperor is not as fearless of death as he seems on the surface...

…

The golden crows fall together, and the jade rabbit sinks and rises.

The sun and moon rotate.

A night of turbulent undercurrents passed, a seemingly peaceful day passed, and a new dark night came.

The gateway to the imperial city is called Guangfan Gate.

Just like the weather in Chang'an, it is majestic and gorgeous.

Above and below the city gate, both inside and outside, are lined with armor and armor, making it extremely fortified.

It was already dark, and the palace had been closed early.

However, many courtiers were filing in from here.

Both civil and military are well prepared, and everything is magnificent.

But there was a very strange scene.

A row of jet-black armored soldiers stood under the door, with gloomy wind blowing, green fire faint, and howling incessantly.

Behind the array is a group of officials with vague faces.

No matter the civil and military officials, or the Jinwu Imperial Guard, they all seemed to be unaware, and no one could see it.

Even when hundreds of officials were passing by this group of treacherous armored soldiers, they passed right through it like an illusory bubble without any notice.

"General, the emperor on earth has prepared a banquet."

Wang Zhen, dressed in green robes, appeared in front of the armored soldiers, and no one around him noticed.

Even Xin Pingping, who was following behind him, could not be seen.

A hoarse and harsh voice sounded among them, giving orders: "The garrison time has arrived, the troops and horses are marching forward, three hundred cavalry, the rest are on foot, follow the general into the palace with a ax to welcome the human emperor to the clouds and immortality!"

"The time to ascend to immortality cannot be early, late, or delayed in the slightest. If there is any mistake, you will be punished forever!"

Except for the five hundred armored soldiers who seemed to be unaware, the rest of the "people" were all terrified.

At this time, dark winds were blowing and black air was billowing.

Even the unaware guards around him suddenly felt a sense of coldness.

"General Du" ordered his troops and horses, then entered through the Guangfan Gate and through the gates of the palaces, with an unimpeded path.

Soon, we arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall where the night banquet was held.

This hall is located in Chang'an, within the imperial city, and in the Daming Palace. It is second only to the Hanyuan Hall, the main hall, and is the place where the imperial court met during the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, it was used by Shunzong to "entertain" officials.

It really surprised all the officials.

The memorials from the imperial censors floated like snowflakes to the ministers in the daytime, accusing this move of being inappropriate.

It was just that at this time, the government was already in a state of chaos and was controlled by Ju Wenzhen.

Naturally, all the memorials could not reach the emperor's eyes.

He knew that tonight was the day when the emperor would ascend to immortality, and he had no intention of thinking about the reason.

Not wanting to create extraneous problems, he followed the emperor's wishes.

"General Du" led his troops to His Highness Xuanzheng. He led 300 cavalrymen to guard in front of the palace, and 50 infantrymen patrolled around the palace to prepare for any emergency.

The rest of the people followed him straight into the main hall.

At this time, in the palace, the emperor was lying on the dragon couch, and the palace ladies were kneeling to serve him, pouring wine frequently and using chopsticks non-stop.

Your Highness is surrounded by bright lights, the sound of silk and bamboo, the chiming of bells and chimes, and the singing and dancing of orioles.

The ministers and officials came and went with cups and poems in praise.

The emperor was so drunk that he burst into laughter.

When the atmosphere in the palace was full of wine and joy, suddenly a minister wearing a red pheasant crown, green clothes and red clothes, and a silver sword on his waist walked in from outside the palace.

This person is none other than Ju Wenzhen.

He was just a chamberlain, but now he was wearing a second-grade imperial robe.

There was silence in the palace.

In fact, he was so powerful at this time that he could almost cover the sky with one hand.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Guangling County has sent you a great gift and wants to apologize for the collision with Your Majesty that day."

Ju Wenzhen stood before His Highness and said loudly without bowing.

"..." Shunzong stroked away the wine drops on his beard, his eyes seemed drunk and showed no reaction.

"Your Majesty! This is the filial piety of the Prince of Guangling County. Please don't live up to it!"

"Your Majesty! Please accept the sin ceremony from the King of Guangling County!"

Ju Wenzhen was not in a hurry, but stood proudly in the hall and shouted loudly.

He shouted so loudly that all the ministers in the palace broke out in cold sweat.

They have noticed that today's banquet is probably not a good one.

"snort!"

"Eunuch and eunuch! It turns out that he is ignorant of loyalty and is rebellious and rude!"
