Reaper of Faith [Quick Travel GL]

"What is destiny?" The emperor smiled lightly, "If everything in the world is already determined by destiny, why should people fight endlessly? I never believe in destiny, there is no heaven that no one can't win."

The eyes of the boy played by Shen Zhaoxi shone slightly, as if he had finally found his approval: "You really think so?"

The emperor shook his head, "I lied to you what a child is doing."

He really didn't believe in fate.

If he believed in his fate, he would not be able to sit in his current position.

Someone once gave orders for his elder brother, saying that he was a born Ziwei emperor star and destined to become the Ninth Five-Year King, but so what, his elder brother fell in front of the throne in the end.

As if he had made a decision, the young man looked around and bit his lip, "Brother Zhao, do you know a place to talk quietly? I have something important to tell you."

The emperor looked at Fu Hai.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to know everything about his property. As his personal eunuch, Fu Hai is the one who knows the most.

Sensing the emperor's gaze, Fu Hai bent down and said in a low voice, "The private room on the third floor is a good place."

The teahouse is not big, but it is exquisite, with a lobby on the first floor, windows on the second floor, and private rooms on the third floor.

Hearing this, the emperor knew that this place should be his own property, controlled by Dongchang's subordinates.

Although the Dongchang and Jinyiwei in this era were far less powerful than a certain dynasty in Shen Zhaoxi's memory, and could be hated by most people as court eagle dogs, they still existed.

They lurk in various places and use different identities to collect intelligence from the world into the hands of the emperor.

The private room is not far away, just two steps away.

After entering the private room, Shen Zhaoxi looked at Fu Hai, who retreated out tactfully, and closed the door by the way.

Only then did Shen Zhaoxi take a deep breath as if she had made up her mind, and she said, "Brother Zhao, I want you to swear that what I say next, whether you believe it or not, don't let it out easily, okay?"

It sounds ridiculous to ask the emperor to swear.

But seeing the young man's serious expression, like a ghost, the emperor raised his finger and finished making an oath.

He laughed and said: "What is it, so serious, can we talk about it now?"

Shen Zhaoxi stared at him until the emperor gradually suppressed the smile on his face and his expression became serious, then he said slowly: "If the eldest brother has a lot of money in his family, let's hurry up and buy rice grains, it will take a long time. , It is estimated that natural disasters and man-made disasters will not be cut off."

The emperor had already guessed from Zhao Wanchen's purchase of grain that Shen Zhaoxi might have predicted the snow disaster, but he never expected that Shen Zhaoxi would say such a thing.

His expression moved slightly, seeing that Shen Zhaoxi's eyes kept falling on his face, as if he was observing whether he believed his words, he couldn't help but smile wryly: "My dear brother, do you know what I'm talking about?"

"Of course I know."

"What evidence do you have?"

Shen Zhaoxi shook her head, "I don't have evidence. If I had evidence, I would have asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to help me pass the news to the emperor."

The news really shocked the emperor.

Shen Zhaoxi's words made him guess why Zhao Wanchen didn't report the news to him, but collected food in private.

The young man in front of him couldn't tell a lie. If Zhao Wanchen told himself that there might be a snowstorm this year, the young man who was the forecaster would probably be brought along. With his innocent nature, he probably wouldn't be able to say a few words. It will clean up the bottom.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters will not be cut off.

When will a country be plagued by natural and man-made disasters?

It must be the time when the emperor is unkind and the heavens punished us!

If he hadn't gotten to know Shen Zhaoxi in advance, and knew that this kid is not a nonsense person, but has some abilities, I am afraid that with these two words alone, he would be able to put people in the prison and behead him someday.

"According to your opinion, the most recent disaster should be the snow disaster?"

Shen Zhaoxi nodded, her face full of surprise, "How do you know?"

The emperor said: "Do you know that there has been no snow disaster in the capital for ten years."

"...I don't know." Shen Zhaoxi opened his mouth, and said somewhat dejectedly, "I knew you wouldn't believe me..."

The young man's frustration was palpable, and the emperor comforted him: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just how you know, you have to give me a reason."

Shen Zhaoxi said: "If I say that I dreamed about it, would you believe me?"

"dream?"

"I have been like this since I was a child..."

"...When I was young, I couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality. I always thought that what happened in the dream was real. My family thought I was a crow's mouth. Especially when my grandmother died, I dreamed that my grandmother fell and woke up. I came to tell my parents that my grandmother fell, and they all told me not to talk nonsense, but that afternoon, my grandmother fell in the yard and never woke up..."

People in the world always fear gods and ghosts more than respect them.

The boy's parents did not regard his ability to predict the future as a skill, but thought it was a curse from evil spirits.

After a few times, the boy also learned to be silent and stand by.

Until something happened to the whole family.

"Buddhas are favored by heaven and earth. Whenever they encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, they will always be warned in advance, and noble people will help them avoid disasters..."

Monk Hui'an's words gradually overlapped with Shen Zhaoxi's voice.

So the whole family died at the hands of the robbers, but Shen Chaoxi was rescued by Princess Hengan and became a guest of the Princess Mansion.

The things that Shen Zhaoxi gave, one after another, even though the time was too long to be verified, still made the emperor feel terrified.

His throat was a little dry, and he took a sip of warm tea before he found his voice, "What did you dream about?"

Shen Zhaoxi closed her eyes.

"I dreamed that the sky was covered with snow, and countless corpses were buried in the snow. I dreamed that the torrential river was floating for thousands of miles. I dreamed that the flames were scorching, and the earth was dry and hardened..."

"I heard many people crying, many people wailing, the voices of children, the voices of the elderly, the cries of men, and the cries of women..."

The emperor then closed his eyes.

Following Shen Zhaoxi's voice, those pictures seemed to appear in his mind.

The room suddenly fell silent.

It took him a while to recover his mind from the shock, and the hand holding the teacup tightened.

……

Hearing these news, the emperor couldn't sit still.

If someone else said it, he could take it as alarmist talk, but if it was said by a Buddha...

He really didn't dare to be careless.

But he had to hold back his emotions and wait for the first snow to fall.

If nothing Shen Zhaoxi said happened, wouldn't it be a joke.

Of course, before that, he focused on the preparations for the snow disaster, thinking of it as a rainy day. If there is no snow disaster, it doesn't matter, it's just that the capital has more grain and cotton.

Heavy snow fell flutteringly before the date speculated by Qin Tianjian.

It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year. In previous years, when he saw Bai Xue, the emperor felt only joy and the joy of the coming new year, but now he was full of uneasiness waiting for another boot to hit the ground.

After a night of heavy snowfall, the people from Qin Tianjian nervously came to report that this year's heavy snow may be a bit beyond imagination.

It is very likely... It is a snow disaster that does not happen in a hundred years.

The emperor's hand trembled.

What Shen Zhaoxi said, he couldn't tell others, he could only recruit Zhao Wanchen who was also in contact with her into the palace.

"That child... I've seen it before."

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Wanchen fell to his knees with a plop, and broke out in cold sweat, "No Hui is innocent, if you say something that should not be said, please forgive me."

The emperor didn't call her up, but asked, "What do you think should not be said?"

The two knew it well.

After a while, the emperor called out the people and asked, "Do you think that the emperor, I have done something negligent?"

Zhao Wanchen weighed his words and said: "Although the father has no achievements in expanding the territory, Daxing is under the rule of the father, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the father is definitely not a fool."

The emperor couldn't help laughing, "I can't even say a word of praise."

Having said that, he felt that it was right for Zhao Wanchen to say such a thing.If she learns how others flatter and flatter him, the emperor will find it strange.

Could the emperor be wrong?

Of course the emperor could not be wrong.

It's not that the emperor is a saint and can't make mistakes, but that in such an environment, the emperor cannot make mistakes.

It can only be others who are wrong.

Historically, any disasters in the country have been caused by the emperor's innocence, or by evil spirits.

Since the emperor couldn't be wrong, there must be something evil somewhere.

After going around in a circle, Zhao Wanchen finally brought the topic to the final destination.

Even though she can't wait to bring Lin Shenwei out and tell the emperor that this is the person we want to deal with, she can't mention Lin Shenwei, or even the Lin family.

I was just talking about some ancient books that said that when an evildoer is born, he must first harm the important ministers of the country, infiltrate the people and so on. Anyway, I will not name who it is. You can guess for yourself. If you can’t guess, Lin Shenwei is counting on me. lose.

Zhao Wanchen hinted so clearly, there is nothing left to guess.

If you can't even guess this point, the seat under the emperor's buttocks can be replaced by someone else.

The closest family of important ministers who have fallen is Lin.

And the only fish in the Lin family who slipped through the net is now working as a concubine in his son's mansion.

The emperor didn't take this concubine room seriously at first.

Men, in a way, always look down on women.Only when they push the blame afterwards, will they all feel that it is the fault of women. For example, when the Shang Dynasty fell, many people scolded Daji for bewitching King Zhou, but they did not scold King Zhou for lusting after women. Beauty is detrimental to the country, but it is no wonder that King Zhou You treats the country as a trifling matter.

Dogs that can bite don't bark. Even though Zhao An is very low-key to the outside world and only focuses on doing practical things, he is the least competitive candidate among the adult princes. The emperor has never underestimated his son.

He himself has been keeping a low profile for many years, taking advantage of the endless battles between his brothers and sitting on the throne when both sides were hurt, he can guess what the Seventh Prince Zhao An is up to with his eyes closed.

Therefore, when Lin Shenwei was tinkering with many strange things, he only thought that the Seventh Son was preparing for the competition for the throne. As for Lin Shenwei, it was just a cover for the outside world.

What can a woman do?

But after careful inspection, the emperor found something was wrong.

After photographing the materials collected by Jin Yiwei on the table, the emperor sneered: "This Lin family is really a good method."
