The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 97

In the silent hall, the sound of dripping water could be heard clearly.

As the water line in the clepsydra continued to move, the hour of the third quarter of the hour was getting closer and closer.

"Hold the lamp. Shen Youzhi suddenly ordered to the guards.

"As ordered!"

Following his order, the guards started to act one after another, lighting up all the candles in Tongtian Hall.

With the lighting of one after another golden lamps, the dimly-lit main hall suddenly brightened up, and yellow lights and slightly scorched smoke diffused in the hall.

Seeing this situation, all the courtiers became more and more curious: the emperor is so confident that he even lit the candles, is it true that the time is coming?

Just when everyone in the hall was thinking about it, a sudden change occurred——

A black shadow gradually emerged from the rising sun, and as time passed, the range of the black shadow continued to expand, as if the sun was being torn apart bit by bit and swallowed into the endless void.

The originally clear sky was gradually covered by pitch-black night as the sun disintegrated.

The curtain of darkness shrouded the earth little by little, and the first sun that had just risen was quickly covered again, and there was no trace of light to leak.

As the last bit of peripheral light dissipated, the whole world seemed to be plunged into endless darkness.

Seeing such a vision, the guards waiting outside the Tongtian Hall were all in shock. If they were not all carefully selected elites with outstanding qualities, they might have started talking about it long ago.

And in Tongtian Hall, if Shen Youzhi hadn't ordered people to light up the lights in advance, I'm afraid it would have fallen into boundless darkness now.

It is also because of Shen Youzhi's "foresight" that in this world-dark environment, only the Tongtian Hall where the emperor and officials gather is brightly lit, like the only remaining bright star, shining in the boundless sky. Glow in the dark.

This situation and this scene really have some meaning of destiny!

In the hall, the ministers who were still skeptical about the theory of "the time and destiny" suddenly exploded——

"This is."

"It's really dark every day!"

"The sun is really covered!"

"Tengu swallows the sun! It's the tengu swallows the sun!" Someone who knew a little about astronomy couldn't help shouting.

"The time has come. The time has come! The destiny has really come!" Someone couldn't help but muttered to himself.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was startled: The time of day that the emperor said has really come, does this mean that the "Holy Ancestor" insinuation is also true?

All of a sudden, the people who were already talking about it became more intense, and they all wanted to hear a reasonable explanation from others.

In many cases, the reason why those deceptive words are successful is not only to grasp people's psychological weaknesses, but also the more important reason is that those who really understand disdain to explain, and those who half understand dare not explain.

After some booing by those who like to pretend to understand, those who were originally vacillating will gradually begin to believe.

This is why many words with obvious loopholes can still be popular.

Just as the civil servants and military generals in the Tongtian Palace were whispering to each other and discussing the natural phenomenon, the ground under their feet also felt a change.

Rumbling--

Rumbling--

The earth trembled like an eardrum, as if an earth dragon turned over, and the land fell and the ground cracked.

"What's the matter?"

The people who hadn't reacted to the changes in the celestial phenomena suddenly felt the tremors from the earth's veins again, and their hearts became more and more shocked.

"The earth dragon turned over! There is a big earthquake coming!"

"what?!"

"This this"

With the sound of "a big earthquake is coming", everyone felt even more anxious, for fear that the hall would collapse during the earthquake and bury them all.

"Silence!" On the central high platform, Shen Youzhi shouted softly.

With his current physique, the majesty of his breath is like a torrent of rivers, and when he drinks it, it is even more deafening like rolling thunder.

The sound of thunder came to their ears, and everyone felt their minds shake, and their consciousness went blank for a moment, and they couldn't remember anything.

Following Shen Youzhi's soft shout, the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and the ministers who were whispering to each other stood there straight, not daring to make any changes.

When I was young, a series of loud noises suddenly came from outside the hall——

Boom!Boom!
Followed by violent tremors, this time the movement was even bigger than just now!

What happened again?
Seeing the ups and downs and the ups and downs, everyone became more and more suspicious.

What happened in this short period of time was really beyond their comprehension, making them feel confused and at a loss.

Fortunately, as the last loud noise dissipated, the endless earthquakes soon passed, and the earth returned to calm again.

The collapse of the Tongtian Temple that everyone was worried about did not happen, and the place where they stood was still as stable as Mount Tai.

If it weren't for the terrifying visions before, everyone would think that everything was just a dream.

Not long after the earthquake ended, the dark world also ushered in the dawn again.

The first ray of bright light reflected on the stone steps outside Tongtian Hall, making it particularly eye-catching and dazzling.

The night is gone!It's dawn!
The sun and the moon regenerate, day and night restart, and the world is renewed!

The "time and destiny" mentioned by the emperor actually happened!

The Supreme Patriarch really appeared!
Destiny prospers!Destiny prospers!

"The sun and the moon are reborn, day and night are restarted, and the heaven and the earth are renewed." Di Renjie bowed and said solemnly: "The time of day has come, and the fate of heaven will prosper!

Long live my emperor, long live, long live! "

Zhang Jianzhi, who came back to his senses, immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty! The Holy Ancestor manifests, the world is renewed, and Li Tang will surely prosper!"
Your Majesty, please hold a grand ceremony immediately, and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and then open Li Tang Datong! "

As soon as he started, the other ministers with keen sense of smell followed suit, shouting "Destiny prospers Tang" in unison.

Shen Youzhi listened to the shouts of the audience, and slowly said: "Since the time has come, I have been ordered by the heavens, so I will set things right and restore Li Tang!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials in the audience fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the palace——

"Report to the Holy Majesty, when the celestial phenomena changed just now, the Luo River moved, and the flood flooded back, heading straight to the Linde Palace!"

what? !

The flood rushed straight to Linde Hall!
In other words, those thunderous noises just now were the sound of the palace collapsing?

Everyone immediately understood that the earthquake just now was caused by the Luo River.

But soon, they realized the profound impact of this incident: Linde Hall was the place of the early Wu Zhou Dynasty, symbolizing the orthodoxy of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, but now it was washed away by the water of the Luo River when Li Tang was restored.
The meaning of this is thought-provoking!

However, the guard's report was far from over: "When the incident happened, the former Empress Wu of Emperor Gaozong was also in Linde Hall!"

hiss--

The kneeling officials in the hall suddenly gasped.

Although everyone had different thoughts, most of them were surprised. Perhaps Di Renjie was the only one who was really sad about this matter.

At this moment, although he bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, he still closed his eyes tightly to prevent the hot tears from flowing out uncontrollably.

The relationship between him and Wu Zetian is extraordinary. They are not only monarchs and ministers, but also rare confidantes and friends.

"It's God's will." Shen Youzhi sighed pretendingly, and ordered: "Order the guards to clean up the scene, collect the remains, and send them to Qianling."

In such a simple sentence, neither the posthumous name nor the scale of burial was mentioned.

The only decent thing is that he was buried in Qianling.

Afterwards, Shen Youzhi whispered to the officials in the audience: "Everyone, let's go to peace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After thanking En, the shocked officials slowly got up.

"Where is the servant of the Ministry of Rites?" Shen Youzhi greeted casually.

"Tan Jiyun, minister of the Ministry of Rites, respectfully listen to the holy will."

Although Tan Jiyun was overwhelmed in his heart, he still didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately went out to wait for the order.

"Immediately coordinate the officials of the Ministry of Rites and prepare for the grand ceremony!"

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Matters are urgent, so all the rules of the enthronement ceremony are kept simple.

After submitting a letter to heaven and earth, Shen Youzhi put on the gown of the crown of gun and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials in the Zhenguan Hall.

This year is also known as the first year of Guangfu.
