Chapter 332 The Last Wish of the Unlucky Beggar Father and Daughter 2
"Please, Lord Ghost Immortal, spare our lives," the people kneeling on the ground in the Prime Minister's Mansion were all trembling with fear.
Few people working in the Prime Minister's Mansion have a clear conscience. It is said that like master, like servant. This saying is very suitable for the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The son of the housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion was a tyrant in the countryside. He abducted women and robbed the land of elderly widows. Because of the relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, the local officials favored the housekeeper's son everywhere and forced many decent women to death.
Thunder suddenly sounded in the moonlit sky with few stars. The Prime Minister's Mansion was set on fire with crackling sounds. Prime Minister Feng and his housekeeper were struck by lightning and turned into ashes on the spot. No trace of their bodies was left.
The commotion at the Prime Minister's Mansion alarmed the entire capital city. It was hard not to be alarmed. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was shrouded in a network of lightning and thunder. The people who had been oppressed for years excitedly climbed onto the roofs to watch the excitement.
"Oh, God, please open your eyes," an old lady whose granddaughter had been robbed by Mr. Feng San, resulting in her granddaughter's death, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the sky.
Many people knelt down one after another. Thunder and lightning roared in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a quarter of an hour. The Queen who lived in the Imperial Palace was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.
"Please forgive me, God. I will reform myself and be a good person in the future."
Chang'an and Gu Laoliu rushed to the palace from the Prime Minister's Mansion and just happened to hear what Empress Feng said. Chang'an clicked his tongue and shook his head, "So she also knows that she is a worthless person?"
Even though she knew it was wrong to defend the Prime Minister's Mansion from doing evil, she still wanted to help them and treated the common people like ants.
"Once power falls into the hands of evil people, the people of the world will be lambs to be slaughtered," Gu Laoliu destroyed the high tower in the palace with a flick of his finger, where the emperors and empresses of the Li Kingdom were enshrined.
They enjoy offerings but do nothing, and allow their descendants to exploit the people. They do not deserve to enjoy offerings.
In this dimension, because of the outrageous actions of the emperor and Prime Minister Feng, natural disasters have occurred in various places. How innocent are those ordinary people?
They don't enjoy the good fortune, but have to bear the misfortune.
The tower was burning with raging fire. The emperor was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. The tower caught fire for no reason and could not be extinguished. The royal family was also punished by the gods.
But he did not think he was wrong, and the fault was always with others. He pushed all the faults onto the Queen and the Feng family, "God, I had no knowledge of what the Queen and the Feng family had done. I beg God to spare the Qi family."
"You know, God is watching what we do. Do you think you can escape the blame?" The headmaster acted like a charlatan. Pah! She was a charlatan.
The sound came into Emperor Wen of Qi's ears from all directions, and he knelt on the ground and begged Chang'an to spare him.
"No way."
"Boom, boom."
The two thunderbolts struck the emperor and the empress to pieces, leaving nothing behind. Chang'an realized that without an emperor, Li would be in chaos. The people were already experiencing natural disasters, and if they were hit by human disasters, there would be no way to survive.
Gu Laoliu immediately looked around to see if there was a suitable candidate in the capital. After searching for a while, he found that a talented person might not be suitable to be a king, and a person who was suitable to be a king might not have good character.
Just when they were about to abandon the capital, a young man in red clothes and wearing a gold collar climbed over the wall of the general's mansion.
"It's him."
"Is it reliable?"
Hey, it's really reliable. Chang'an saw the young man's purple aura rising to the sky, even purple and black. Even if they didn't overthrow the emperor today, in a few years, this young man would be able to rebel against the Qi imperial power.
"Jing Huai Sheng"
Suddenly there was a loud explosion in the sky, and the whole capital city heard it. Jing Huaisheng, who was climbing over the wall, was startled and rolled down.
Jing Huaisheng rubbed his butt, gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky, "No, uncle, can't you wait until I turn over and then call me? Now you shout like this, my old man will hear it."
"Come to the palace immediately," Gu Laoliu didn't talk to him and decided to put this guy on the throne first before doing anything else.
General Jing took his men to find his son as quickly as possible, then carried him and rushed to the palace. Jing Huaisheng kept crying all the way, "I won't go, I won't go."
No matter how unwilling he was, Jing Huaisheng still went to the palace, and was directly lifted to the throne by Gu Laoliu, who said, "You should be a good emperor. If you dare to be lazy, I will beat you to death."
No, is this god sick? He is allowed to be the emperor in the middle of the night.
"I am not cut out to be an emperor. Have you found someone? Look at my father."
The first person that Gu Laoliu considered was General Jing, but General Jing was only a military talent and not suitable to be emperor. Unexpectedly, Jing Huaisheng showed up at this time and said, "If you hadn't climbed the wall, I really wouldn't have noticed you."
Does that mean he asked for it? Jing Huaisheng's eyes widened. He asked why his eyelids kept twitching when he was climbing the wall? I thought his father would catch him. It turned out he was waiting for him here.
"Be your emperor obediently. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. If you don't, you will be treated to your own feast."
Jing Huaisheng rolled around in the hall, throwing a tantrum and saying, "I don't want it, I don't want it, go find someone else."
"Snapped!"
It's quiet now.
General Jing knocked Jing Huaisheng unconscious with a palm. Fearing that his stupid son would really die, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the sky, "God, I will definitely supervise Huaisheng to be a good emperor."
The next day, Jing Huaisheng sat on the throne in a daze, staring at the ministers below.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't want to be the emperor. Who else can do it?" He really wanted to pass the buck. He is at the age where he loves to play, and he is not as mature and steady as he will be in a few years.
He had never seen the starving people outside the capital, nor had he seen the corruption hidden behind the prosperity.
The ministers shook their heads in unison. They thought they were joking. This was the emperor chosen by the gods. If they really dared to sit on it, they might have to start the feast at noon.
They all had an expression that said, "Don't hurt us."
The Minister of Revenue was afraid that Jing Huaisheng would say something to deceive him, so he immediately stepped forward with his tablet and said, "I have something to report."
"Play, play, play quickly and go home for dinner."
"…a disaster occurred in Langu Prefecture, and the local prefect submitted a memorial requesting support from the court."
Speaking of the disaster, Duke Qing also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, an earthquake occurred in Qingyang Prefecture three days ago, causing countless casualties and nearly half of the houses were destroyed. Your Majesty, please dispatch officials to Qingyang Prefecture to deal with the earthquake."
Jing Huaisheng was dumbfounded. What kind of mess had he inherited? He was also confused when he was told about the earthquake right away.
Chang'an and Gu Laoliu crouched on the beams of the main hall. Seeing Jing Huaisheng's bewildered look, Chang'an asked worriedly, "Dad, can he really make it?"
"Give him time to grow."
The people of the capital city all knew that there was a new emperor, but at first they didn't know who Jing Huaisheng was. During breakfast time, everyone knew that he was the young master of General Jing's family.
The people of Li State believe in gods. After seeing how Chang'an and Gu Laoliu acted yesterday, the people were convinced of Jing Huaisheng. No one had any doubts. They all said that the reason why Young Master Jing was chosen by the gods must be because he was born to be an emperor.
You know what, they guessed the truth.
In addition, General Jing also enjoyed a deep prestige among the people of Li State. Everyone believed in him and was willing to believe that his son would be a good emperor.
