I thought that after saying this, Mo Jiuye would calm down for a while. After all, this matter was too unbelievable.
Mo Jiuye didn't, he held He Zhiran's hand tightly.
"Ran Ran, I understand, you are the immortal arranged by God to come here to save the Mo family and save me, right?"
He Zhiran really didn't dare to take the title of god, but her arrival did indeed save the entire Mo family, which is understandable.
"Husband, don't forget, I am also a member of the Mo family. There is no reason to stand by and watch when my family is in trouble. This has nothing to do with being a god or not."
He Zhiran was originally worried that Mo Jiuye would think she was a ghost after telling the truth, but in the end, they directly defined her as a fairy.
No matter what, He Zhiran finally managed to be completely honest with Mo Jiuye, and when she faced him again, she felt inexplicably relaxed.
The two chatted with Taoist Priest Yuan Qing for some more time, and then they realized that Taoist Yuan Qing had come to the capital specifically.
The purpose of coming to the capital was to civilize Emperor Shunwu, hoping that Emperor Shunwu would comply with God's will.
Mo Jiuye knew Emperor Shunwu quite well. It was no secret that he believed in Taoism. Taoist priest Yuan Qing would definitely meet him successfully.
Moreover, he knew from his contact with Taoist Priest Yuan Qing that he was not the kind of quack magician who cheated on food and drinks, but an outsider with real abilities. His words were well-founded and Emperor Shunwu would definitely listen to them.
He planned to take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and let Nan Yu ascend to that position as soon as possible.
It has to be said that Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran are really in tune with each other. They are both thinking about the same thing at the moment.
"Master, since you have calculated the birth of Mingjun, how about this trip to add fuel to the flames?" He Zhiran said sincerely.
"What does the donor want Pindao to do?" Taoist Master Yuan Qing asked with interest.
He Zhiran expressed her thoughts. She firmly believed that in this way, Nanyu's road to the throne would be smoother.
She did this out of consideration for the friendship between them on the one hand, and also for the common people in the world. Only when Nan Yu truly becomes the master of Dashun can the common people live a good life earlier.
What's more, it won't be long before the men of the Mo family will go into battle again. With Nanyu's direct support, it is more practical than having to ask Emperor Shunwu for instructions on everything.
Taoist priest Yuan Qing agreed to He Zhiran's proposal without any hesitation. Anyway, as long as he did not violate God's will, doing so was just a piece of cake.
…
After Emperor Shunwu had a long talk with Yuan Qingdao, he was so convinced of his words that he personally led his people to the center of the capital to build an altar that day.
The altar was no different from the usual ones. The only difference was that there were no tributes placed on them. Instead, there were scrolls with the names of the three princes written on them.
Three scrolls, with the names of Nan Rui, Nan Yu and the fourth prince Nan Jin respectively written on them, were placed on the altar from left to right by Taoist Priest Yuan Qing in order of age.
In addition, all the sacrificial candles and other objects were properly placed, waiting for him to make prayers when midnight came.
Finally, when it was midnight, the night sky was not beautiful today. Not to mention the stars, even the moon was covered by dark clouds.
Countless palace attendants around Emperor Shunwu held lanterns for lighting, but there was still some distance between where he stood and the altar, so that the area around the altar was still pitch black.
After a while, a little fire appeared at the altar, which was Taoist Priest Yuan Qing lighting a piece of talisman paper.
The talisman paper began to flash across the night sky with the light of Taoist Yuan Qing's spell.
Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for his next move, another flickering light appeared in the dark night sky.
He Zhiran controlled the drone from a distance and slowly flew towards the altar. Soon, the light arrived near the altar.
I don't know if it was to avoid suspicion, but Taoist Priest Yuan Qing quickly came to Emperor Shunwu's side and watched with him.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the light. Although they couldn't see clearly, they all knew that that was where the altar was.
The small light spot lingered for a few times in front of the scrolls containing the lives of several princes on the altar, and then slowly rose into the sky in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
Before the light spot completely disappeared, I heard Taoist Priest Yuan Qing praising loudly: "It's really God's will... God's will has really come..."
Emperor Shunwu looked confused.
"Excuse me, what do you mean by this? Where does that light come from?"
The following words were all taught by He Zhiran, and Taoist Yuan Qing recited them several times in order to perform the scene well.
"Your Majesty, today there are dark clouds covering the sky, and no stars can be seen at all. It must be a sign that Ziweixing has personally come to the mortal world to bring good luck to me..."
Emperor Shunwu believed deeply in Taoist Yuan Qing's words.
He saw the purple stars descending into the mortal world with his own eyes. The little bits of light that fell from the sky just now, what else could they be if they weren't stars?
"What the Taoist Master means is that the Mingjun you mentioned already knows about it?"
Taoist priest Yuan Qing continued to act. He stroked his beard with a pleased look on his face, pointed in the direction of the altar and said, "Your Majesty, you will know the result if you move over and take a look."
Emperor Shunwu had long been eager to go over and check it out, but since Taoist Priest Yuan Qing hadn't spoken just now, he didn't dare to act rashly for fear of offending the gods.
As soon as Taoist Priest Yuan Qing finished speaking, Emperor Shunwu called several princes and ministers to the direction of the altar to check.
When the emperor makes a move, the servants holding the lamps will naturally follow him.
When Emperor Shunwu arrived near the altar, it was no longer in a state where he could not see his fingers.
Although the light cannot be described as bright as day, it is still easy to see everything in front of you clearly.
Emperor Shunwu saw the item wrapped in bright yellow silk on the altar at a glance.
This thing was simply too familiar to him.
"This...this is the jade seal..."
Not only was Emperor Shunwu shocked, but the ministers who accompanied him were also stunned.
The loss of the jade seal has alarmed the entire capital. I didn't expect that the lost thing would appear so easily.
And it was sent by Ziweixing...
This is simply shocking.
Soon, someone knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the jade seal was lost and found, and it is placed on the scroll with the prince's name. This is God's will!"
Immediately afterwards, people knelt down one after another and shouted at the same time: "Please the emperor obey God's will..."
"Your Majesty, please obey God's will!"
They said they were asking the emperor to comply with God's will, which sounded nice. In fact, anyone could hear that these people wanted Emperor Shunwu to give up his throne to Mingjun on his own initiative.
I thought that Emperor Shunwu would be angry because of this. After all, their behavior was no different from forcing the emperor to marry him. Today they dare to do this because they have the intention of not punishing everyone.
