Chapter 646

That was why she had not found a single clue.

The Moon Goddess's hand, hidden under her sleeve, clenched tightly all of a sudden.

She did not know when a person with such terrifying strength would appear around her.

What did this person want to do?

Thinking of this, the Moon Goddess's heart lifted all of a sudden.

She only hoped that this person would not disrupt this prayer ceremony.

After all, the entire prayer ceremony was something she had prepared for a long time.

After resting for a long time, they still did not see His Majesty announce the departure.

"Your Majesty, we should go; otherwise, we will delay the auspicious time."

The priest walked over and said to Ying Zheng.

This priest was specifically responsible for the royal sacrificial matters.

Ying Zheng's expression had not changed, but a hint of anxiety appeared in Eunuch Zhuo's eyes beside him.

Having been by His Majesty's side for so long, he had long since gained some understanding of His Majesty's body.

At this moment, His Majesty was obviously unable to go through such high-intensity movements anymore.

But in front of the civil and military officials and the ancestral rules, even Ying Zheng could not say a word of "no."

After all, for the Emperor to walk from the middle of the mountain to the top was a rule set by the ancestors.

Breaking the ancestral rules was an ominous sign.

"Your Majesty, do not miss the auspicious time."

The priest beside him spoke again.

"Your Majesty, this is a rule set by the ancestors; if we cannot walk to the top of the mountain, it is disrespectful to the ancestors."

"Today, if we cannot walk to the top of the mountain, will the God of Zhong Shan give up on bringing rain to the Northwest Territory?"

"Your Majesty, sincerity will..."

Some civil and military officials walked to Ying Zheng one after another and spoke.

The meaning in their words was that they wanted Ying Zheng to continue walking to the top of the mountain.

Do not break the rules set by the ancestors, and also let the God of Zhong Shan feel their sincerity and honesty.

The Moon Goddess's brows furrowed slightly.

She did not expect Ying Zheng's body to be so weak that he could not even persist through this journey.

Seeing these aggressive officials, a bad feeling arose in the Moon Goddess's heart.

Ying Zheng's expression became more and more gloomy, looking at these officials kneeling before him.

With just one glance, he saw that these officials were all Confucian students.

Subsequently, his expression turned completely gloomy.

He had originally thought that he had already sent out all the imperial physicians to find a way to detoxify Zhang Liang.

But he did not expect that this Confucian school would not know how to be grateful at all.

A cold laugh suddenly appeared at the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth.

And those officials who were still talking did not see the cold laugh on Ying Zheng's face.

This cold laugh immediately fell into the eyes of the Moon Goddess and Ying Mo.

The two were exceptionally understanding of Ying Zheng, and immediately knew that Ying Zheng was going to take action.

In fact, when they saw these officials appearing before Ying Zheng, both of them already knew that these officials would definitely not get any good.

What kind of person was Ying Zheng? How could he be threatened by them?

"Solve them for me."

Ying Zheng said softly. Subsequently, a black shadow suddenly appeared from Ying Zheng's side.

The movements were swift, and after a few flashes, heads had already rolled onto the ground.

The officials following behind Ying Zheng, upon seeing such a scene, all had some expressions of horror on their faces.

They did not expect His Majesty to be so cruel, actually staining his hands with blood at the prayer ceremony.

One must know that at this kind of sacrificial ceremony, it was generally not suitable to see blood.

This was a great disrespect to the ancestors and the gods.

Everyone's heart was full of horror, and some even thought that today's prayer ceremony would definitely fail.

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at the civil and military officials behind him and then spoke.

"This entire world is my world."

"Rules?"

A light rhetorical question instantly made everyone's face show a look of shock.

Although Ying Zheng's body was exceptionally weak, his upright spine made everyone present feel his imperial majesty.

Those civil and military officials kowtowed one after another to show their respect to Ying Zheng.

Subsequently, a cold snort sounded in everyone's ears.

That group of officials immediately remembered that this was the First Emperor who unified the world!

……

……

……Ding.

287. Using Life as a Sacrifice, Confusing the Facts! (Please subscribe!)

Just as the atmosphere in the scene fell into a freeze, the Moon Goddess suddenly walked out.

"I did not expect these few lords to actually use their own lives as sacrifices to offer to the God of Zhong Shan."

"The nobility of these lords' character truly makes us admire them."

The Moon Goddess's cold voice sounded in everyone's ears.

After listening to the Moon Goddess's words, the expressions of some people suddenly changed all at once.

The meaning of this sentence was obviously saying that these people who were just killed by Ying Zheng

had sacrificed their own lives entirely to allow this prayer ceremony to proceed smoothly.

Once it was said like this, the stance of these people would immediately change.

They were not afraid of death.

As long as it was recorded in the historian's records that they died because they remonstrated with His Majesty, then that was dying for a worthy cause, dying loyally.

"893"

Ying Zheng could control everyone, but he alone could not control the historians.

But this one sentence from the Moon Goddess completely caused the calculations of these people to fall through.

Ying Mo sat quietly in the tree, watching the commotion below.

Upon hearing what the Moon Goddess said, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Such a smart woman.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

But subsequently, he thought of the things that happened in Xianyanggong, and his brows twitched again.

He had not forgotten that the Moon Goddess was also a person of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Ying Mo had to suspect that everything Xing Hun did in Xianyanggong had something to do with the Moon Goddess.

It was truly a bit of a headache.

Ying Zheng, after listening to the Moon Goddess's words, had a faint smile immediately appear on his originally gloomy face.

"Everything is as the State Preceptor said; reward them heavily after returning."

Ying Zheng turned his head and ordered.

The civil and military officials present all understood what had happened just now, but not a single person dared to say it out loud.

And this was a matter that Ying Zheng had already finalized.

If others said anything more, wouldn't they be courting death?

"Your Majesty."

"The subsequent prayer ceremony still requires Your Majesty to hold it personally."
