System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

Three days passed in a flash. Today was the day to set up an incense table at the foot of Facheng Gate and invite the God of Thunder.

Before dawn, the large open space in front of Facheng's gate was already filled with onlookers. Many people were also coming in groups of two or three from all directions.

Curiosity and surprise were written on each of their faces, and they were all guessing the reason why Thor was invited this time.

An incense table had been set up in front of Facheng's door, with various fruits and offerings arranged in an orderly manner.

Thirteen dragon lanterns were placed in order in front of the incense table, and all the people from the Imperial Observatory were divided into two rows, standing on both sides of the incense table, one on the left and one on the right.

The Mao hour has arrived.

The soldiers guarding the gate opened the two main doors of Chengfa Gate. The first people to come out were Yinshan Du and the director of the Imperial Observatory, Tongfu, who were both dressed in fancy clothes.

Following closely behind were several princes including Yinshan Gu, then Princess Beining, Xuzhou Chuang and his wife, Xuzhou He, and the commander of the imperial guards - Hua Qiuchuan.

As the side doors on both sides opened, the other ministers walked out in order of rank.

The two deputy directors of the Imperial Observatory held two incense burners to burn incense and purify the bodies of all the officials present.

The remaining people in the Imperial Observatory sang in unison - the song to invite the gods.

Pu Tong picked up the incense prepared on the incense table and handed it to Yinshan Du with both hands.

Yinshan Du stepped forward to take the incense, raised it above his head and bowed three times in front of the incense table, then solemnly inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Pu Tong shouted, "Kneel!"

Everyone present knelt on the ground, put their hands together, raised them above their heads, and then spread their palms and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Everyone bowed three times.

He walked up to the thirteen dragon lanterns and lit them one by one with the flame of his fingertips.

This action caused quite a lot of exclamations among the onlookers.

After everyone in the Imperial Observatory finished chanting the song to invite the gods, Pu Pu picked up the talisman on the incense table and threw it directly at the largest dragon lantern in the middle.

The divine talisman is suspended above the dragon lantern.

Yinshandu clasped his hands together and muttered something.

"A few days ago, the God of Justice sent thunder to the main tomb of the imperial mausoleum, splitting the roof of the tomb."

"The Thunder God has brought down the blame, and we are terrified."

"Today, we burn incense and set up an altar, asking the God of Justice to appear and point out our faults."

"We will definitely change immediately and repent sincerely."

After saying this, the talisman on the dragon lantern immediately burned up and turned into a wisp of green smoke that floated into the sky.

When the onlookers heard that this time of invoking the gods was actually related to the roof of the imperial tomb being split open, they realized that it was related to the roof of the imperial tomb being split open.

They stretched their necks and stood on tiptoe, looking for the figure of Master Hu among the ministers.

After searching for a while, not only did they not find any trace of Master Hu, but even his son-in-law Cheng Jinyun was not among them.

Only the Hu family members were surrounded by the forbidden army in the corner.

Seeing the current situation, the onlookers had nothing to understand: the late Queen Hu must have done something to cause the God of Thunder to bring punishment upon her.

As the incense in the incense burner burned out, a deafening thunder sounded above everyone's heads, hitting people's eardrums.

Everyone looked up at the sky, and the entire sky was covered by layers of clouds.

Lightning flashed through the clouds like a golden dragon, and the thunder that followed rolled in like the sound of a drum.

The thunder and lightning that came one after another were like a rolling and roaring ferocious beast, as if they were going to tear the entire sky apart.

It makes people shudder and feel awe.

When the dense clouds in the sky faded away, two golden Dharma images were revealed.

It is a majestic statue with a human body and a dragon head, huge wings spread out behind it, and a thunder hammer in its hand, giving people a deep sense of oppression.

The other statue is more dignified and beautiful. She is dressed in red, wearing a crown on her head, and holding two bronze mirrors in her hands. There are lightning as thin as hair running on the bronze mirrors.

These two are none other than Lei Gong and Dian Mu.

The onlookers fell to their knees, shocked by the solemn look of the Dharma image, and trembled like sieves.

Lei Gong let out a dragon roar that shook the mountains, and questioned Yinshandu on the ground: "What do you want from me, little boy?"

Yinshandu and everyone behind him knelt down and said, "I don't know what we did wrong to anger the God of Thunder and chop down the imperial tomb. Please let the God of Thunder show us clearly."

"Give me a chance to make amends."

Lei Gong sneered at Yinshandu's words: "How dare you ask, what did I do wrong?"

"Let me ask you, whose coffin is placed in this imperial tomb that was struck by lightning?"

Yinshandu replied in a loud voice: "It's the late queen, Hu Changqing."

The Thunder God said in a loud voice: "I will strike her!"

"This person is narrow-minded and jealous. She will tarnish the reputation of anyone who is better than her, or even kill their entire family."

"This person is also good at calculating, full of dirty tricks and vicious thoughts. In order to achieve his goals, he can kill many people."

"Everyone who has been harmed by her has cried out in grief and suffered terribly."

"As the God of Thunder, I have the duty to enforce the law on behalf of the heavens. How can I not strike down such a vicious woman?"

The Thunder God let out a thunderous roar, which crushed everyone's soul like a giant wheel, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.

Listening to the Thunder God enumerating Hu Changqing's crimes, the people on earth were shocked.

They each muttered to themselves: Is this still the Queen Deyi who was famous for her virtue?

Facing the accusation of the Thunder God, Yinshandu said in a pious tone: "We have already investigated what the Thunder God said. Please give us a chance to set things right."

"Since you said you have found out the truth, I am a fair person, so I will give you this opportunity."

"You should publicly judge the crimes of this vicious woman in front of me and the Lightning Mother, so that I can see your repentance."

"Anyone who dares to tell a lie will end up like this tree!"

As he spoke, Lei Gong clenched the thunder hammer in his hand and hit a tree on the side of the road.

With a loud "boom", a huge force of thunder and lightning came from the thunder hammer and hit the tree directly. The tree could not withstand such a strong lightning strike and turned into a black smoke and disappeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, Xu Zhoujiao was lying on the cloud, looking down.

She saw that where the Thunder God had dug, only a huge hole was left.

He curled his lips, secretly pulled the corner of Dian Mu's clothes, and whispered: "Chop gently, after all, this is my territory."

Dianmu glanced at Leigong lightly, and Leigong turned his head and hid the thunder hammer behind him without making a sound.

This little episode in the clouds did not affect the public trial of Hu Changqing in the lower world at all. One prison car after another was escorted up by the imperial guards.

Leading the group were Tutor Hu in plain clothes, the Minister of Works Cheng Jinyun, and the Prefect of Jingzhao Hu Zijing. Behind them knelt a dozen of their accomplices who had committed the crime together.

Also traveling with him were the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice Eji and the Minister of the Supreme Court Huang Rongzhang.

Under the gaze of Lei Gong and Dian Mu, the public trial officially began.

Huang Rongzhang was the first to speak. He bowed to Yinshandu and said, "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to investigate the criminal Hu and his father, Master Hu, who monopolized the power of the imperial palace, recruited the imperial guards to serve for themselves, and framed the imperial concubine."

"Now, several cases have been investigated together and there are results."

Yinshandu raised his hand to him and said, "Since the God of Thunder said that today is a public trial, Huang Rongzhang, then you should tell the people behind you the truth about the crimes of this father and daughter."

Huang Rongzhang turned around, faced the bustling crowd, and revealed the true identities of the father and daughter.

"I am the Minister of the Dali Temple, Huang Rongzhang. I recently received an imperial decree from His Majesty to investigate the past of the deposed Empress Hu Changqing and Grand Tutor Hu. Now, under the supervision of the two gods, I will reveal the crimes of this father and daughter who brought disaster to the country and the people and monopolized hegemony."

"Since the day Hu Changqing entered the palace, he arranged for Mei Yan, the chief maidservant beside him, to make connections throughout the palace. His primary targets were Xi Mei, the chief maidservant beside Concubine Xu Zhoujiao, and Madley, the commander of the imperial guards."

"In order to recruit these two people, Hu Changqing first ordered Mei Yan to send a large amount of gold and silver jewelry to Xi Mei. Later, he sent another senior maid in Fengqi Palace, Mei Zhen, to the greedy and lustful Madre."

"These two were involved in framing the imperial concubine. Ximei was responsible for hiding the drugs, and Madre was responsible for searching the palace."

"Especially Madre, who had already been bribed by Hu Changqing and switched to Fengqi Palace."

"This is the crime of treason!"

"Now, both of them have been sentenced to death."

Hearing that Hu Changqing acted so recklessly, the onlookers had a new understanding of Empress Deyi, who was dressed in the cloak of virtue.

"Because Hu Changqing suffered from premature aging and her life was coming to an end. In order to frame the imperial concubine, she concealed her true pulse diagnosis and ordered the killing of the imperial physician Qin Guan."

"The one who murdered the imperial physician Qin Guan was none other than the guard in the residence of Grand Tutor Hu."

"Hu Changqing drank the poison herself. Her death was caused by the antidote she prepared in advance being incompatible with her constitution."

"From the poisoning to the discovery of the poison in Changle Palace, it was all planned by Hu Changqing. It has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine!"

"On the contrary, Master Hu was involved in it many times. He often interacted with the palace guards and asked them to pass on information for him many times. He even sent someone to kill the important witness Mei Yan."

After saying that, Huang Rongzhang asked someone to bring up a piece of white cloth and draped it directly on himself.

"Your Majesty, the two gods, and the elders and villagers of Kyoto, this father and daughter have evil intentions and want to steal my great hidden kingdom."

"I have written down all their crimes and covered myself with them for you to see."

After saying that, Huang Rongzhang spread out the white cloth on his body and walked in front of each person.

He completely tore off Hu Changqing's hypocritical cloak and exposed her crimes to the public.
