Chapter 40: Perseverance

The so-called witch palace is where the witches live. The largest place is also the witch.

In the palace where the Grand Secretary was located, the Grand Secretary was shocked and confused when he heard his subordinates' reports.

"Miracles" have appeared in various parts of the country? The rain clouds in the south have turned into dragon shapes and crossed to the northern desert, causing heavy rain?

The Grand Secretary Wu hurried outside the palace and looked up to the north. Wherever he saw, he saw a gloomy sky. At this time, heavy rain outside the city was pouring down, but it was not raining. The rain seemed to only land in the severely affected area.

This sweet rain undoubtedly brought endless hope to countless people struggling in life and death. However, the heart of the Grand Marshal Wu was very complicated.

Does the Dragon God really exist?

The Grand Secretary Wu looked at the sky. The dark clouds were indeed in the shape of a dragon. They were as long as they were, crossing north and south, and they were in a vast area. They were thousands of miles wide.

However, the so-called dragon shape is also relative. With the length of this dark cloud, it is necessary to protect the severe drought areas. In addition, the thunder and lightning are more powerful, but it has no real shape after all.

Therefore, it can be said that it is in the shape of a dragon, but if you think carefully, it seems that it is not complete.

"No, there are no gods in this world?"

The Grand Secretary Wu thought for a long time and suddenly waved his head to dissipate his thoughts.

The so-called gods are just seemingly beautiful legends. There is no "dragon god" in this world!

Logically speaking, this kind of idea should not appear to people of this era, especially this person is still the Grand Master of the Northwest Kingdom.

He coordinated the sacrifices of the witches and managed the gods and dances. In theory, he should be the person who is most pious to the gods.

but.

This is the case.

Because he knows sacrificial things best, he becomes increasingly distrustful of the existence of gods.

Because he saw more and did more, he had already lost his awe.

If the Dragon God really existed, then what he did would have been "retribution" long ago. No, it was not just myself, but in this northwest country, over thousands of years of history, I don't know how many corruption and evil there are. Compared with them, I am just the firefly in front of the sun and the moon.

However, there are countless people who have good ends among them! And today, there are also good people among the victims who do not know the size. Can you not suffer from disasters if you believe in God?

Therefore, the Grand Secretary Witch does not believe in God, he only believes in himself. God is just an excuse used by the Grand Secretary Witch to obtain power, and this is the case with the human sacrifice this time.

Human sacrifice is certainly a way to cut off the unrest and prevent rebellion to cure wounds. But at the same time, it is also a means used by the Grand Martial Arts to suppress the tribes of the northwest countries and gather power.

Among the public clans, if you want your own children to worship the Dragon God, you can still enjoy power and wealth beside the emperor. Then you should obey the Grand Secretary Wu's words and take care of them more.

After all, only the advice of the two great witches can be heard and seen by the Dragon God. Among them, the Great witch is the main one. Although the Shaosi witch can also make suggestions to the Dragon God, they must read it in advance to prevent the words of disrespect to the Dragon God in their words.

Because of this, during these days, the prince tribes gave many benefits to the Grand Martial Arts. Needless to say, gold, silver, treasure and power and status, some even willingly regard them as the god of the world, and even some people worshipped him and the emperor.

Of course. Although most of the public clans in China believe in the Dragon God, they are not without discerning people.

But even if you see through it, many people dare not say it out loud. First of all, who has never done anything wrong? Believe in it or not. What if the Dragon God really exists?

Secondly, even Xia Houchang used his beloved daughter Shao Ji as a sacrifice to set an example. Who dares to come out and provoke it now? If there is no evidence, it will only cause a disaster.

Many people who do not believe in it at most offer a lot of benefits, and ask the Grand Secretary to say a few good words to the Dragon God, begging their children to temporarily serve in the world and to accompany them after they die.

Even the more you don’t believe, the more you are willing to spend all your money to seek merits, ask the Grand Secretary Witch to bless you, or even send it to the Grand Secretary Witch to be a servant. Because this is said to the inside, but to the outside, you have to change the argument and you must not offend both ends. Otherwise, even Shao Ji would serve as a sacrifice at that time. What kind of merit does the children of the prince have to serve the gods after they die?

Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why the Grand Secretary would rather the country be hit harder than implement human sacrifices.

Now, heavy rain in the south has turned to the north. The disaster has been alleviated, which is somewhat unfavorable to him. After all, the "Dragon God" has appeared and the disaster has been resolved. Does the emperor no longer need sacrifices?

The Grand Secretary Wu walked left and right, frowned and thought.

Not long after, a waiter reported: "Report to Siwu, Mu Zheng is waiting outside the hall!"

The Yuxia official system was dominated by the four auxiliary, three general, and six nobles.

The Four Supplies were four ministers who assisted King Xia in the past, and later gradually replaced by the witch for a thousand years.

Without the Four Auxiliary, the following are the Three Zhengs and the Six Ministers. The Three Zhengs are Che Zheng, Mu Zheng, and Pao Zheng. They are in charge of: soldiers, punishments, households, labourers, officials, and rituals. The official positions of the Siwu are actually lower than those of the Three Zhengs, and they were once managed by the Cui Zheng. But now they are naturally not as good as before.

The Grand Secretary Wu had not spoken yet. Another waiter reported that Che Zheng and the Cao Zheng were also in charge.

Immediately afterwards, Liuqing and some officials from all over the world also visited one after another.

Afterwards, the local officials and Hou also sent envoys to visit.

He knew what the purpose of these people came, so he told the waiter to wait outside the hall, and then he went out to meet him after a few cups of tea.

Sure enough, as soon as I saw the Grand Martial Witch, many nobles of the princes spoke one after another, asking about the sacrifices.

When the disaster was first caused, human sacrifice was a forced measure. Which nobleman had no children? How could he really want his children to leave him? Now the disaster has been relieved, so he came to ask.

Of course, among the local Bohou and some sober nobles, there were also people who had long promised to "serve the gods after death". When they came over, they naturally had some inquiries about the reasons for the truth.

The Grand Secretary Wu remained silent, and everyone asked questions one by one. What they asked were all the same. Now that the Dragon God appears, there are signs of relief from the disaster. Will the human sacrifice continue?

After everyone finished speaking, the Grand Marshal took a sip of water and said slowly: "You all think why did the Emperor appear?"

"this……"

Everyone suddenly fell and looked at each other.

The Grand Secretary Wu said: "It is precisely because of preparing for the sacrifices that the Emperor has seen our sincerity! In preparing for the sacrifices, disasters are still endless. Although most of the sacrifices are unhindered, the family is still affected by disasters, and some people die due to disasters. The Emperor could not bear it, so he brought down the rain and relieved the disaster!"
