Chapter 185: See, we are doing great things

Mo Qingling articulated the facts without exaggeration and emphasised that the emperor was indeed chosen by heaven to receive these high-yield seeds.

The emperor heard about the will Mo Qingling mentioned previously, but he did not read it previously.

So, he asked the palace attendant to bring it over.

He took a look at it.

The paper was brushed with a few columns of words.

It was true that the old priest had predicted that he was chosen by the heaven gods more than ten years ago, and that he was a wise ruler for Daliang and its people.

In order to prevent the citizens suffering from wars and famine, the old priest had specially asked his disciple to plant a good seed.

If Daliang could produce a thousand catties per mu in October, this meant that he was destined to be the emperor to receive this gift from heaven.

What shocked him was that there was a faint layer of golden on the paper.

It was very mysterious.

Previously, the emperor did not really believe in the old immortal.

But as he received more news sources about it, he also believed that a village girl would not know much.

This meant that the old Taoist who had passed away should be very capable.

But now, with a thousand catties per mu and a letter indicating that he was the chosen one from heaven, as well as the heavenly-gifted high-yield seeds, he couldn't help but believe that the old immortal existed.

Otherwise, why would the words give off some golden sparkle?

"I'll let the imperial astronomer find out the auspicious day for me to personally make offerings to thank the heaven gods for the gift!"

He asked the palace attendants to circulate the will to the ministers.

At this moment, the emperor wasn't very calm.

He was excited, but also bore a great responsibility.

The thorn that had been stuck in his heart was suddenly pulled out.

After all, the late emperor had almost given the throne to that person on the fiefdom.

Although he eventually inherited the throne, it felt that it was a little forced.

Hence, there was a knot in his heart since the moment he inherited the throne.

But now, even the heaven gods had decided that he was the chosen one, which was why he was able to bring peace to the people in Daliang.

This meant that his father wasn't visionary enough.

He had to be even more diligent and work hard to manage the entire Daliang.

When he eventually went to the afterworld, he would let his biased father see who was the chosen one by the heaven gods.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng did not know that because of the will and the heaven-bestowed seeds that they had concocted, the emperor made up his mind to be a wise ruler.

Meanwhile, other officials were passing the will around.

There were also three officials who were very good at inspecting ancient paintings.

They also carefully looked at the ink on it and pondered over it.

"Looking at the colour of the paper and ink, it does indeed look like it was written more than ten years ago. Indeed. Be it the paper or the ink, it is definitely not written in the past two years. I think it's at least ten years old."
