Lu Su was relatively well regarded when he came to Shouchun.

There are three reasons. First, Yuan Shu needs to convey a message to the world's scholars by attaching importance to Lu Su, and come to me, and I will reuse you; second, he brought money and food to show his determination; third, the Lu family has a certain influence.

force.

Therefore, even though he was in a waiting position, he was assigned to enter the courtyard three times. At the same time, the 700 soldiers he brought from Xuzhou were allowed to carry swords and perform the duties of the courtyard as long as they did not leave the courtyard.

On the night when Zhang Xun led his troops to leave, just after the curfew, a group of people began to emerge from the back door of the Lu Mansion.

They were dressed in night clothes, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, and had a small cloth bag tied around their waists. They spread out after leaving the back door.

These people obviously know the scope and time of night patrols in Shouchun City very well, and they can always perfectly bypass the dense night patrols.

A group of three men in black came to an alley and poured out the powder from the small cloth bag at their waist.

These were made of saltpeter ground into powder and mixed with carbon powder, which ignited when exposed to an open flame. However, they did not rush to do it, but leaned forward and made a strange noise.

The untouchable Zhao Si, who had just fallen asleep, heard a cry of ‘ouch’ coming from outside the house and got up.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"It seems, there seems to be a fox's cry. I'll get up and take a look."

After Zhao Si opened the wooden window, he saw several groups of light green flames rising deep in the dark alley.

This scene scared Zhao Si and his wife so much that they quickly closed the window and hid under the quilt, shivering.

There is no way, the ancients were superstitious. In their view, this situation must be a monster coming, so don't hurt innocent people.

After finishing all this, the three-person team opened the bamboo baskets on their backs, and several white foxes ran out and fled in all directions.

Early the next morning, rumors began to spread throughout Shouchun City that a monster had caused a scene last night. Many people heard the cries of foxes and saw monster fires.

Even if they didn't hear the fox's cry because they were in deep sleep, some of them actually saw the white fox the next day.

Rumors spread very quickly. I don’t know if someone is adding fuel to the fire, or maybe people like to exaggerate. In the end, this incident evolved into a complete story.

The story is like this, last night, a hole suddenly appeared under the thousand-year-old camphor tree in the east of the city, and countless white foxes ran out of the hole. They whined in the city, accompanied by bursts of demonic fire.

Yuan Shu, who had always been superstitious, was very interested in this and looked around at the officials in the Golden Palace: "This should be a warning from heaven. Who can interpret it, dear friends?"

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that Lujiang, Anfeng and other places will be starved to death. God is aware of this and hereby instructs your Majesty to benefit all the people." Shu Shao, who had been urging Yuan Shu to open a warehouse to provide food relief a few days ago, used the topic.

Yuan Shu didn't even look at him.

From Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor to when hundreds of officials went to court, Lu Su, who had not said a word from beginning to end, finally spoke, "Your Majesty, the roaring foxes and bonfires are a vision. This vision should be regarded as the renewal of heaven and earth, which is in harmony with your majesty's act of proclaiming emperor and opening the court."

."

"Lu Aiqing's words are in line with God's will."

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up. If you can speak, just say a few more words. Then he asked doubtfully: "But what is the meaning given by God?"

"We have heard some rumors these past two days, and they all say that your majesty is the son of destiny, so heaven has sent visions. The people all say that those spirit foxes came from under the thousand-year-old camphor tree in the east of the city, and the entrance to the cave is still there."

Lu Su straightened his back, took a deep breath, and said with great energy: "We boldly guess that God's will is at the entrance of the cave. Why doesn't Your Majesty come to the east of the city in person to receive God's will?"

"Is this happening?"

Yuan Shu's eyes were full of brilliance. At first, he just thought Lu Su's words sounded nice, but he didn't expect that he would have a reputation as an emperor among the people. This was a good thing.

He stood up, smoothed his dragon robe, and said, "Instruct the Imperial Forest Army to surround the thousand-year-old camphor trees for me to go and check!"

"Obey!"

"Your Majesty."

While Yuan Shu was not moving, Lu Su hurriedly bowed and said: "Those who can obtain God's will are all sages and wise kings. All the humble ministers are eager to see the wonders. I wonder if I can go with them?"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to accompany you!"

"I request you to go with your Majesty."

Because of Lu Su's guidance, the officials preconceivedly felt that it must be a gift from heaven to Yuan Shu.

It is said that the Yellow Emperor's victory over Chiyou relied on a heavenly book given to him by the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and he relied on this book to regain the mountains and rivers.

Who would want to miss this thousand-year wonder?

What's more, Lu Su is right, non-sages and wise kings cannot have visions given by heaven. In other words, it's time to embrace your ambition and show your die-hard loyalty.

"Okay, okay, since all my dear friends have this idea, I'm sure!" Yuan Shu was as happy as a child weighing more than 200 pounds.

There has always been a group of people who hold objections to the matter of proclaiming the emperor, represented by Yan Xiang.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to win over the hearts of hundreds of officials in one fell swoop!

Even the hearts of the world!

Yuan Shu and all the officials rushed to the east of the city under the thousand-year-old camphor tree. The place was already surrounded by water. The people were usually very afraid of the imperial guards, but their curiosity made them forget their fear.

Because Yuan Shu was in a good mood, the untouchables he had despised in the past did not ask to be cleared out.

After all, how can a wise king deceive the people?

"This hole looks quite deep." Yuan Shu walked under the thousand-year-old camphor tree, squatted down and looked at the hole in front of him.

He swallowed and became increasingly nervous.

What could be inside, a heavenly book given by the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens? Or maybe it could be a magical weapon that can put an end to troubled times?

These officials, who usually pay attention to the etiquette in every move, craned their necks, fearing that they would miss any important details.

"Do it, dig!"

Yuan Shu gave the order, and the imperial guards waved their hoes and started moving.

Every movement of the shovel touched the hearts of everyone present. The officials looked at each other and whispered.

All around, some people who were not afraid of death even climbed to the top of the building, crawling and watching.

"Your Majesty, there is an ancient monument!"

Finally, after digging for a while, a section of the ancient bluestone stele was revealed deep inside the cave entrance.

Hearing this, Yuan Shu excitedly pushed away the Imperial Guards, stepped forward and carefully swept away the dust, "Be careful, please be careful with me, I won't take it lightly if you break it!"

He retreated again to let the Imperial Guards dig.

Not long after, the entire stone tablet was dug out, and the moss on the stone tablet marked its age.

There are words on it, but the content cannot be seen because it is covered with soil.

The officials looked at Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu looked at the stone tablet without moving for a long time.

"Your Majesty."

Yuan Shu adjusted his clothes again, with a smile that was like a spring breeze, "God's will is here, watch it with me."

Naturally, all the officials showed their aunty smiles and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will act in accordance with God's will even if I am a fool!"

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his trembling hands, and slowly swept away the soil above.

The fonts on the ancient stele became clearer.

At this moment, everyone’s hearts were in suspense.

Yuan Shu was panting heavily, as if breathing was a very difficult task.

Finally.

Yuan Shu saw the words above clearly.

The smile on his face froze, and so did his whole body.

The rapid breathing stopped, and for a moment, it seemed that I had forgotten the need to breathe.

The original waves of sound subsided, and nothing could be heard in the entire scene except the whistling of the wind.

How could this happen, how could this happen, how could this happen...

Yuan Shu's upper and lower lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

Because the content on the ancient tablet made him no longer care about the emperor's manners.

"The Zhong Dynasty died in a hundred days; the soul of Emperor Yuan disappeared."

Twelve words.

Only twelve words.
