Puluo Temple is not far from the outskirts of Beijing. The woods there are dense and the scenery is beautiful.

There are many people selling things at the foot of the mountain. Over time, a small market has formed there.

This place is already very lively, and the people who come to sell things are all nearby villagers.

"Did you hear that a stone suddenly appeared on the mountain over there after it rained?"

"What rock?"

"It's a big bluestone."

"Isn't this normal?"

Wherever there are people, there is gossip. When they hear that there is excitement, many people come together, eager to know all the inside stories.

"Bluestone is normal, but there are pictures and words on it."

The person who just spoke said mysteriously.

"Ah, are there pictures? Are there words?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

The man looked at everyone and raised his head proudly: "I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense."

Everyone was speechless. With so many people listening here, you still ask us not to talk nonsense. Is it possible?

"Speak quickly."

Everyone was anxious, and they also wanted to know what was happening.

"There was a figure up there, in human form, with a crown, but holding a sword."

"There are two words below, which seem to be..."

He pointed to the sky as he spoke, but he didn't dare to say those two words.

He said it was okay to gossip, but if he said that, he would be beheaded.

"What is the word?"

The onlookers were all intrigued by this man, and they were anxious, but the man suppressed his face and turned red, and finally said:

"If you want to know, go and see it yourself."

Everyone thought the same thing. The place was right under Puluo Temple, not far away. Who could miss such an important thing?

This matter spread quickly, and there were rumors in the capital that day.

"Have you heard? There is a prophecy stone under Puluo Temple."

"Ah, is it true or not?"

I have never heard of this stuff before.

"Of course it's true. Many people went to see it."

"What's written on it?"

"It seems to be a prediction of the new emperor..."

Hiss, these words made everyone shudder. The emperor is not too old now. He is still in the new year.

Can you say this casually? Are people like them allowed to listen?

It's just that although everyone said they didn't want it, they were more curious in their hearts.

The new emperor, if you find out and establish a good relationship with him early, maybe you can get an official position for yourself?

The news spread throughout the capital, and naturally the palace also heard the news.

The emperor has been in a bad mood recently. When he heard about the prophecy, he wanted to kill everyone who was gossiping.

But no, listening to the report below, too many people already know.

"Your Majesty, they are talking nonsense outside."

Shangguan Yong was also shocked. Suddenly a prophecy stone fell from the sky. Who would believe this?

He knew that someone must be causing trouble, but he didn't know if the emperor believed it or not.

"Who is written above?"

"Back to the Emperor, there is no specific description on it. It is said that the person in the painting is wearing a crown and holding a long sword in his hand. People speculate that this person should allude to King Han. The new emperor should be King Han's..."

"Bastard!"

Before Shangguan Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, could finish speaking, he felt a pain in his head. The inkstone thrown by the emperor hit him on the forehead.

Blood flowed.

Shangguan Yong hurriedly kowtowed. He was just here to report. How could he have imagined that the emperor would hit someone if he disagreed with him?

"Damn, it's nonsense, it's all nonsense!"

"That's sheer nonsense! King Han is seriously poisoned and has bad habits. How can he be the new emperor of the next generation?"

The emperor was so angry that he almost pointed at Shangguan Yong's nose and cursed.

Shangguan Yong was scolded and cried out that he was wronged. He had to do his duty.

But the emperor's anger was too obvious. He was not the one who made the prophecy stone, nor was he the first to discover it.

"It's a rumor, it's all a rumor!"

"Damn it, let me check it out now! I want to know, who deliberately buried this stone? Who is deliberately spreading rumors?"

Shangguan Yong lowered his head and let the bright red blood flow down his cheeks. After a while, a small pool of bright red blood gathered on the ground.

"Shangguanyong!"

Being called out again, Shangguan Yong quickly raised his head. The emperor saw the blood on his face and said in surprise:

"What happened to your face?"

His eyes paused on his face for a moment, and he glanced at the ground again, his pupils shrinking.

It was his favorite inkstone. At this time, it was broken into several pieces. The emperor felt extremely distressed.

Head hurts again.

He stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows. Eunuch Wei on the other side felt his heart skip a beat. The emperor had a severe headache and could not control his temper.

"Have someone check it carefully. Any prophecies from heaven are just meant to fool the common people. Don't take them seriously."

Shangguan Yong nodded quickly, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Your Majesty, the prophecy above is not about King Han, but about King Han's heirs."

"What did you say?"

The emperor stiffened and looked at Shangguan Yong in disbelief.
