Now everyone knows, it was the sacrifice of the new Emperor Qian that brought a flicker of hope and turned the situation around.
The new Emperor Qian took on all the blame, all the sins, but does anyone believe it?
No one believes it; it was merely a procedure to ensure things went as planned, just a detail to guarantee success.
But, it was precisely such a procedural blame-taking.
That thoroughly cemented all the rumors.
Including the Great Sun Dominating the Sky, indeed the deeds of the old Emperor Qian.
And some things not done by the old Emperor Qian, are now attributed to him.
In the past, they were merely rumors, heard once a long time ago, but recently more rampant, yet still just rumors.
Never truly substantiated.
Some believed, many didn't, and this is just another of the countless rumors concerning great figures, whose truths remain unknown.
Now, confirmed by the new Emperor Qian.
