Wei Zheng took half a step forward and sneered.
"Hmm?"
Li Shimin frowned and was puzzled. "Why do you say that?"
"Does Your Majesty not know what's going on outside?"
Wei Zheng snorted and asked in return. He did not believe that His Majesty did not receive any news in the palace.
"Outside?"
Li Shimin walked down from the dragon throne and glanced outside the door. He wondered, "What could have happened outside?"
"Your Majesty, something big has happened outside. Mars has descended."
Cheng Yaojin took a step forward and looked at Li Shimin as he spoke. He originally did not know the three words' Mars', and only found out after a discussion with the officials.
"What? Mars? "
Li Shimin's expression changed and his body trembled.
He did not doubt Cheng Yaojin's words, nor did he doubt the officials. Today's situation was not simple.
Moreover, he deeply understood what Mars was. It was a star of misfortune. As long as Mars descended, it would be accompanied by disaster.
However, why would Mars descend in Chang 'an?
Did he do something wrong?
Thinking of this, he quickly walked to the entrance of the imperial study and looked up. Instantly, he felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
It really was Mars.
How could this be?
Why would Mars descend from the sky?
Could it be that he had killed too much?
Was the heavens dissatisfied with him?
Was this to punish him?
He knew that the descent of Mars was often related to those in power. In the past, the descent of Mars would cause chaos. Could it be that his Tang Dynasty was also going to be in chaos?
His body trembled and he held the door frame with his hand, feeling helpless.
Seeing this, Xiao Guizi hurriedly went forward and supported Li Shimin as they slowly walked towards the Imperial Study. Just as they walked into the hall, Wei Zheng's cold voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, Mars has descended because you have killed too much in your early years. You should give the world an explanation."
Wei Zheng picked up his walking stick and slammed it on the ground with a look of indignation.
He thought that it was impossible for His Majesty to only know about it now. It must be an act.
But he didn't look like one.
However, these were not important. What was important now was how His Majesty was going to answer to the people of the world.
When the officials saw Wei Zheng stand out, they began to criticize him.
"That's right. Your Majesty has killed too many people. You must give the people an explanation."
"This Mars is a vengeful spirit of the Black Tortoise Gate, here to claim your life. Your Majesty, you should pay your respects."
"Not only that, Your Majesty, you should also issue an edict and admit your sins to appease the wronged souls."
Everyone glared at Li Shimin, filled with righteous indignation, as if they were the souls who had been wronged.
Hearing everyone's accusations, Li Shimin panicked. He leaned against the dragon throne, his face pale.
Give an explanation to the people?
The vengeful soul of the Black Tortoise Gate?
His crimes have been decreed?
These words hit him like a hammer in the chest.
Normally, if the officials dared to say such things, they would have been punished.
But today was different. The appearance of Mars meant that he was immoral and incompetent.
But, his crimes have been decreed? This was not an honorable thing. It could become a stain that he could not erase for the rest of his life.
At this moment, he hesitated.
What should he do? Was there anyone who could help him?
He had never felt so helpless. Even when he led troops to war, he had never been afraid between life and death. But at this moment, he was truly afraid.
He was afraid that Mars really came because of him.
He was afraid that everything the officials said, the vengeful spirit of the deposed Crown Prince would come for his life.
He was even more afraid that the people of the world would suffer because of him.
Did he really have to admit that he was useless?
Did he really have to admit that he had killed too many people?
No!
He was the Emperor, how could he do such a thing?
But who would speak up for him now?
He was angry, heartbroken, and even regretful!
Just as he was hesitating endlessly, a figure slowly appeared.
Zhang Feng?
Feng Zi was smart and had many wicked ideas. Perhaps he had a solution?
At this thought, it was as if he had grasped at a life-saving straw. Hope flashed in his lonely eyes, and he immediately glanced at Little Guizi. Little Guizi had been with him for many years and naturally understood, and slowly came over.
"Little Guizi, immediately send someone to White Deer College to find Zhang Feng. Tell him the situation here and ask him if he has any solutions."
Li Shimin's face was pale, and his voice was hoarse. At this moment, he placed all his hopes on Zhang Feng.
Little Guizi understood the severity of the matter, nodded, and left.
At this moment, only the civil and military officials and Li Shimin were left in the hall. The atmosphere was very solemn and as calm as the surface of water. But if a stone was thrown, it would immediately cause a reaction.
"Your Majesty, please do not delay any longer. Immediately decree the crimes have been decreed."
Wei Zheng's walking stick thumped on the floor, and he coughed as he spoke.
He did not know why Li Erlang was still hesitating. These were the people of the world. Since Li Erlang claimed to be a wise ruler, why did he cast the people aside and ignore them today? Was he really so heartless?
