The grass in the factory should be plucked

She never expected that Prime Minister Liang did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury to her "political enemy", but instead spoke up for her and denounced the rebels.

Nangong Qinghe and Liao Wuyong behind him both smiled.

Even Xie Changan felt that this annoying old man was particularly pleasing to the eye today.

Jiang Li's eyes curved with brows as she listened to Prime Minister Liang scolding for a quarter of an hour without a break, and she couldn't help but admire him secretly.

Just based on this vigorous spirit, he can stay in the position of Prime Minister for at least another ten years!

Prime Minister Liang's passionate outburst stunned the victims in the city, leaving them speechless, and many of them showed shame on their faces.

It turned out that the relief food they ate was all paid for out of Prince Jing'an's own pocket!

You eat other people's food and want to use it to offer sacrifices to the gods. This is truly ingratitude!

Yang Lin gritted his teeth. If they continued like this, people’s hearts would be shaken!

He emerged from the crowd, raised his arms and shouted: "Prince Jing'an is so rich, I don't know how much of the people's money he has plundered! This evil woman who has brought harm to the country should be killed by everyone!"

The disciples of the Qinglian Sect also shouted: "This evil woman who has brought disaster to the country must be killed by everyone!"

The victims thought, that’s right, where did she get so much money to buy food?

Isn't it just corruption, bribery and plundering of the people's wealth?

They immediately followed suit and shouted: "Kill the evil woman and clear the court of evil!"

Nangong Qinghe said calmly: "Yang Lin, right? You gathered a crowd to rebel, what crime should you be charged with?"

Yang Lin gritted his teeth and held his head high: "I'm pleading for the people, why should I fear death?"

His fearless attitude moved the victims so much that many of them shouted, "We will follow Chief Yang till death!"

Yang Lin raised his hand, pointed at Jiang Li on the city wall, and said loudly: "Prince Jing'an, the drought is caused by you. If you care about the victims, you should sacrifice your life for the people of the world!"

Jiang Li smiled slightly: "The drought was caused by me? Who told you? Was it the mirror monster of Qinglian Patriarch?"

Yang Lin was furious: "How dare you slander the Qinglian Patriarch!"

Jiang Li laughed and said, "If it can reveal itself in the mirror, then what else could it be but a mirror demon? How can we believe the words of a demon?"

Among the victims, there were many who were bewitched by the Qinglian Patriarch and the Qinglian Fairy. They were furious when they heard this: "Witch, stop slandering the Patriarch and the Fairy!"

"Your Majesty, please give the order to quickly capture this evil woman and pray for rain from the heavens!"

The white-haired old man knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on the people of the world!"

Yang Lin also took the lead and knelt down, his expression excited: "If Prince Jing'an is willing to sacrifice himself, I am also willing to pay with my own life!"

All the victims fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on all the people in the world!"

"Prince Jing'an, please, have mercy on us!"

Jiang Li almost laughed out of anger. How could anyone in this world ask someone to die?

Xie Changan's face turned pale, and the sword on his body clanged. Just as he was about to unsheathe, Jiang Li quickly pushed it back.

"Wait a little longer, the time is not right yet." Jiang Li communicated with him in her heart.

Xie Changan had no choice but to suppress his anger.

Nangong Qinghe's face was filled with anger: "Prince Jing'an is a meritorious minister. He has made great contributions to the country and the people. I will never offer sacrifices to the heavens for his meritorious service!"

Yang Lin stood up slowly, with a righteous look on his face: "Since Your Majesty is unwilling, I have a compromise."

He pointed at the babies in Jiang Li and Xie Changan's arms: "Prince Jing'an's twins, a boy and a girl, were born on the third day of the third lunar month, the Shangsi Festival."

"Shangsi Festival is the day to worship the water god. These two children were born for the purpose of worshiping the water god! Please, Prince Jing'an, give them up..."

"you wanna die!"

Xie Changan shouted angrily, and with a "clang" sound, his sword was automatically unsheathed and flew towards the city like lightning!

Before Yang Lin finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and his head flew high up. He could even see the city behind the city wall!

Then, his eyes went dark and his headless body fell to the ground with a thud, his head and body separated, deader than dead.

There was total silence on the city walls.

This Duke Dingguo, who was as handsome as a god, was like the legendary sword immortal. He could control the sword with his Qi and take people's heads!

Jiang Li was also furious.

She didn't care how these people slandered her, insulted her, or even tried to sacrifice her to the gods.

If he wants to take advantage of her child, she cannot tolerate that!

For a moment, she really wanted to give up, just walk away with the twins, and let these people die!

Xie Changan suddenly displayed his divine power, and the victims kneeling on the ground were trembling with fear, and many of them got up and tried to escape.

The Qinglian Sect disciples exchanged glances with each other.

They fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Oh God, the evil is in power and has deceived the emperor, causing a severe drought. How can we, the ants, survive?"

One of them was about to cut his throat with a knife: "Since the emperor is reluctant to sacrifice the witch to the heaven, then I will do it!"

"Absolutely not!" Someone nearby stopped him.

"Brother, don't stop me. I am willing to use this broken body to do my best for the people of the world!"

The victims were deeply moved and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please offer a blood sacrifice to the witch and pray for rain from heaven!"

The white-haired old man also shouted in a trembling voice: "If the emperor does not allow it, I will hit my head against the city gate and die!"

He actually threatened to die!

Jiang Li was about to say something, but Nangong Qinghe stopped her with his hand and said angrily: "Since the founding of the Great Chu, there has never been a case of human blood sacrifice, and I will never set such a precedent!"

"Yes, I have a way to appease the wrath of heaven!"

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Nangong Qinghe only said word by word: "I issue an edict of repentance, and pray to the heavens to calm their anger and send down a rain of blessings!"

Liang Shoufu was shocked: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible!"

A "repentance edict" is an edict issued by the emperor to express his repentance when the country suffers a major natural disaster or a major civil unrest is aroused.

Once the emperor issues the edict of repentance, it will definitely be recorded in history books and become a huge stain on the emperor!

"In the third year of Yuanhe reign of Emperor Xianzong of the previous dynasty, there was a severe drought for consecutive years. Emperor Xianzong issued an edict to blame himself, and it really rained for three days."

"For the sake of my people, I am willing to follow the example of Emperor Xianzong and pray for rain. As long as the people live and work in peace, what does my reputation after death matter?"

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Jiang Li's eyes were filled with emotion, and he spoke out to stop him.

Nangong Qinghe looked at her deeply: "Ali, you have worked hard for me and helped me with all your strength. Without you, I would not be who I am today."

"Now I am able to protect you! Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you and your child."

He ordered the guards: "Bring pen, ink, and paper!"

Jiang Li finally showed a relieved smile. Nangong Qinghe did not let them down!

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for an imperial decree."

Nangong Qinghe was surprised: "What imperial decree?"

"The decree of canonization."

Everyone looked at her in surprise. Feng Zheng?

In Taoism, there is a concept of "conferring justice" to spiritual beings.

When spiritual creatures that have achieved success in their cultivation are ready to advance, they will seek "ennobling" from humans, thus completing their transformation and becoming reborn.

If the person is blessed with great fortune, or is a Taoist priest with profound practice, the effect of "sealing" will be better.

The fact that the current emperor personally confers the title upon it is a great opportunity for spiritual creatures.

Who is Jiang Li asking for a title for?
