The imperial decree to welcome back the Queen Mother was issued, and the body was temporarily buried, so the officials and the people naturally stopped making noise.

Qin Zhen dealt with the Beiman incident the first day, and came to Song Yan with the memorial the next day.

Song Yan was fed up with listening to him read the memorial every day, and hid when he came, went for a walk outside when the weather was cool outside, and hid in the house to sleep in when the weather was too hot, anyway, he just didn't listen to him read the memorial.

After two days of effort, Qin Zhen discovered that Song Yan disliked him, and at the same time his face turned black, he no longer wanted to make fun of himself, and angrily carried his memorial back to his political hall for review, suffocated I didn't talk to Song Yan again for two days.

He came again on the third day, but he stayed with Song Yan for a while with a dark face and then went back.

Song Yan is very satisfied with this state. Qin Zhen is a king of a country. Whether he comes to see him or this son, it’s over for a stroll. If he gets tired of being with him every day, what’s the matter with reading to him? ?Rumor has it that the two of them must have become a copy of Zhou Youwang and Baosi?Although it may not be as serious as the princes in Fenghuo Opera, it seems that this is the style of taking political affairs improperly.

Then Song Yan heard the news the next day that Changning County came to a genius doctor, who was young but very skilled in medicine. After taking the pulse of a patient infected with the plague in Changning County, Dang even wrote down the prescription. However, the patients infected with the plague did not say that they recovered immediately after drinking it, but they soon got better.

It was a great thing, but Song Yan's expression was complicated after hearing it. The main reason is that the timing of the genius doctor's appearance was too coincidental. It should be the right time for Qin Zhen's confidant to arrive at the fief of Beiyao. The incident happened unintentionally. Those who see it have a heart, maybe this phenomenon has to be pressed on Tianxiang by someone with a heart.

The result was not at all unexpected by Song Yan, but within a few days, Qin Zhen welcomed the queen mother back, God appeased, and the news of no more crimes spread from Changning County to the entire capital, attracting a lot of attention. The entire palace was discussing, believing this so-called celestial phenomenon.

Song Yan put down half of his heart and raised it again. What does this mean?Unless the thunder is just right and strikes in front of the Queen Mother visible to the naked eye, but if it is not such a coincidence and the distance is a little farther, this celestial phenomenon may not be enough to make these people who have firmly believed that it is destiny to welcome the Queen Mother back that day. The Queen Mother went there to prevent the Queen Mother from returning to the palace.

When those confidantes left, Song Yan and Qin Zhen told them that they had better calculate the time and bring the queen mother to the temple when the thunder fell, but he only knew that the thunder came from the heavy rain The approximate time, the exact time is impossible to say, let alone the rain, whether there will be an accident and the Dao Lei will stop raining or stop fighting.

In that case, according to the current situation, even if Qin Zhen killed all civil and military officials and the people all over the world, those people would have to force him to welcome the Queen Mother back.

Could Song Yan not be in a complicated mood?Can the little heart not lift up?He didn't want to really bring the Queen Mother back, she was so capable of tossing around in such a far away place, and it's not sure what she's going to be like when she comes back.At that time, his identity will most likely have to be exposed, and neither Qin Zhen nor him will fall well.

Therefore, from this day on, Song Yan prayed in his heart every day that the thunder would hit the Queen Mother. In fact, it would be better for him to say that it would hit the Queen Mother, but Qin Zhen obviously still had a bit of admiration for his mother. It seems a little bad for him to pray like this, so forget it.

On the other side, Qin Zhen's confidants rushed to the Beiyao fief day and night at full speed and did not dare to delay at all. After delivering the imperial decree, they asked the Queen Mother to prepare a chariot and set off immediately, for fear of missing the thunderstorm.Fortunately, Empress Dowager Wei couldn't wait to leave this place, and responded positively to them. She packed up that night and set off with them early the next morning.

Therefore, Qin Zhen greeted the queen mother back, and when the news spread that God had calmed down, Qin Zhen's confidantes had already led the queen mother halfway. It wasn't long before Song Yan heard those rumors, and they welcomed the queen mother back to the palace. I also received news that there were people on the road to welcome me.

The Empress Dowager Wei sat on the chariot and watched the people who greeted him smile gracefully and calmly.

The waiter sitting next to the Empress Dowager Wei peeled the oranges for the Empress Dowager Wei while flattering her with a smile and saying, "Nowadays, God is really helping you, the Empress Dowager. This shows that you are the one whose destiny belongs to you, the Empress Dowager."

However, although "she" is dressed as a maid, her accent is neutral and male.

The empress dowager Wei's well-maintained jade hand raised it when she heard the words, pinched his chin and smiled triumphantly: "You are the only one who can talk."

Then his brows and eyes turned cold for a moment, and he gritted his teeth with hatred and snorted: "But that unfilial son of my palace is not so easy to deal with. When you go back with me, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds. My love Lang calls that unfilial son cruel I killed you, and now you are the only one left. If you make any troubles again, I really can't live this life."

The male pet dressed as a waiter nodded happily when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, after returning to the palace, I will be cautious in my words and deeds, and wait for the day when the queen mother is done."

The Empress Dowager Wei calmed down a little, and then looked smugly at the people who lined the road to welcome her outside.

Qin Zhen's confidantes outside the chariot saw this situation but couldn't help frowning, feeling that their task was getting heavier and heavier, and they were all worried that their timing was not right, Your Majesty The plan fell short.But there was no other way to worry. They could only follow the time calculated in advance and walk towards the capital at a steady speed. Fortunately, there was no trouble along the way. A few days later, they entered according to the time calculated. Lingshan County.

But when they entered Lingshan County and continued along the official road to the king's capital, they became more and more frightened. The big sun above their heads was scorching to death, and it was cloudless at a glance. It didn't look like it at all There is a tendency for heavy rain and thunderstorms, especially when they have already observed the boundary of the temple only a few miles away when they come, and the sun is still shining and there is no cloud for thousands of miles. It's flustered.

Seeing the situation, there would be no possibility of rain today anyway, the leader's confidant winked at one of them, and that person immediately left the leader's position quietly, pretending to be patrolling, and rode to the chariot behind, but it was When passing by the side of the carriage, taking advantage of no one's attention, he suddenly inserted the gun in his hand into the wheel of the carriage.

There was only a sound of "click, click, click", the wheels of the carriage broke instantly, and the carriage tilted and shook for a while.

The Empress Dowager Wei in the carriage was lying on the male pet and enjoying the male pet's service, she immediately exclaimed in shock.

"what!"

The guards outside the chariot hurriedly got off their horses to appease the frightened horses pulling the carriage, and then pleaded guilty to the carriage, "The guards under my command accidentally bumped into the carriage, and the wheels of the carriage were worn out, which frightened the empress dowager. The empress dowager forgives me."

The leader's confidant immediately rode over, and before the queen mother got out of the carriage, she yelled at the guard: "Then why are you still standing here without looking for something to repair the carriage? The queen mother is delayed returning to the palace to have you good fruit to eat."

The guard hurriedly said yes, then got on his horse, rode his horse and headed towards the post station.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Wei was supported by her male favorite and came out of the carriage in shock.

The leading confidant guard hurriedly bowed to the Empress Dowager Wei and said respectfully: "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, this Lingshan County has many mountains and is located in a remote place, and there are no inns and bed and breakfasts nearby. It must be getting dark, how about setting up a tent here tonight and resting for a night?"

What if the Empress Dowager Wei disagrees?Although Lingshan County is not far from the capital, she can't walk back.Her majestic queen mother can't ride a horse to swagger through the city, but fortunately, she is only a day away from the capital, so she is not in a hurry for this night.

The Empress Dowager Wei responded with an ugly face, and helped the male favorite to get out of the carriage.

The leading guard hurriedly called people to set up tents, and when it was dark, the tents were also set up.

Empress Dowager Wei's tent was naturally made extraordinarily fine, she took the male pet inside to have a look and was satisfied, she didn't say anything, just got acquainted with the water brought by the waiter and fell asleep.

Outside, Qin Zhen's confidantes led people to watch the night and watched the stars in the sky after sunset, but they scratched their heads worriedly. Two of them couldn't help whispering to each other while everyone was asleep.

"Do you think it can really rain? Didn't the king fool us to play?"

The other scolded him when he heard the words: "You are talking nonsense, how could the king fool us, and still use this kind of thing."

"That's true, but maybe the king is being fooled by others. No matter how you look at things like being able to predict the celestial phenomena, you think it's pure nonsense. But breaking the carriage can only be said to be delayed for one night, and it will definitely have to be done tomorrow." Now that we’ve set off, what will we do then?”

"Hey, let's see what happens tomorrow."

The guards who went to the post station to find tools and wheels deliberately delayed their return until late, so that they would not be able to repair the car at night.When they woke up the next morning, they pretended to repair the car before the queen mother got up.

When the Queen Mother Wei woke up and saw that the car hadn't been repaired, it was inevitable that she would feel displeased, but seeing that they were busy repairing the car, she couldn't say anything, so she sat aside with a cold face and let the male pet wait and fan her Fan, watching them repair the car.

A few people dawdled all morning, until the sun was shining, and the queen mother stared impatiently. She wanted to call her people to repair it, so she hurriedly repaired the carriage, and then took the queen mother Wei to set off on the road again. Obviously much slower.

Fortunately, the queen mother was dizzy from the sun outside, and when she got into the car, there was ice to cool her down, and she fell asleep not long after she was drowsy. An hour later, he still hadn't walked two miles.

Empress Dowager Wei's face turned dark when she woke up from sleep, and she made a big fuss and asked what was going on. Her people told him wrongedly that it was the guards who led the team because they were afraid that the carriage would not be strong, so they dared not go too far. Hurry up, I'm afraid that if it gets broken again, it will be on the way.

As a result, as soon as the words were spoken, the person in front suddenly gave an order to speed up the speed, and the carriage galloped like flying.

Empress Dowager Wei felt that her stomach was about to vomit if she hadn't eaten, and she was so angry that she called for the guards who led the team to come.

The leading confidant came back on horseback without telling the carriage to stop, and asked the carriage runner to answer the Queen Mother Wei through the chariot.

"Queen Mother, you see that the day has suddenly turned gloomy. It may rain heavily soon. There are no inns or post stations around here. When I passed by, I noticed a temple in front of me. We have to speed up our journey to catch up Just go to the temple to hide from the rain before it rains, so I feel sorry for the Queen Mother to be patient."

Empress Dowager Wei was dizzy again in the carriage. She raised the curtain with difficulty and looked at the weather outside. It was really dark, and she didn't want to get wet on the way, even if she held her breath in her chest and wanted to question them. Why did I go there earlier, now I was in a hurry and hurried on my way, not afraid that the car would break down, I couldn't tell, I could only be deflated.

Qin Zhen's confidantes also regretted it. How could they think of the sunny weather before, why the dark clouds were overwhelming at this moment in the evening, and they would have traveled at a normal speed if they knew it. It's just right, unlike now that there are still several miles of land, I'm afraid the rain won't be able to wait.If they missed that thunder, wouldn't they die?

As expected, the heavy rain came down halfway through their journey. The heavy rain seemed to be pouring down from the sky, thunder and lightning made it difficult to walk.

A lot of water was poured into the carriage.Empress Dowager Wei was so embarrassed that she wanted to tell them to stop and find a place to hide from the rain first.

How dare Qin Zhen's confidants still lead the people forward at full speed. After half an hour, they finally saw the shadow of the temple in the rain, but they saw the century-old tree beside the temple from a distance that had been scorched. Living.

It's over!Still missed it!

The faces of the few people who were originally beaming were instantly ashamed.

A group of people saw the leading guards in front of them stop suddenly and looked at each other.

The Empress Dowager Wei was already annoyed by the water rushing in from the gap, and now that she was almost at the place, she stopped, immediately opened the chariot, and shouted angrily to the outside: "What are you doing? Hurry up! "

A few people came back to their senses, even if they missed it, they had to hide from the rain, and they continued to go to the temple in coir raincoats with ashen faces.

The carriage was driven to the front of the temple, and all the guards and internal servants stood aside. The male favorite came out of the carriage first, opened a huge umbrella and got off the carriage, held the umbrella high, turned back and stretched out his hand to catch the carriage. Empress Dowager from inside.

At this moment, only a loud noise in the sky was heard.

"Boom and boom—"

A huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the tip of the umbrella held high by the waiter in full view.

The waiter holding the umbrella was split into black coke in an instant, and the surrounding ground burst into flames.The few waiters who were closer twitched and fell to the ground twisted with white eyes.

Empress Dowager Wei came out of the carriage just in time to see this scene, she screamed in fright, and fell on the carriage with weak legs.

"what--"

Qin Zhen's confidantes were either at the front or at the back, the farthest away from the carriage, and there were no casualties, but they were frightened by this scene, so they reacted and hurried over to check the situation.

There were also a few servants who were not injured by the lightning, but were frightened stupid. After they ran over, they hurriedly shouted to the servants: "You guys quickly help the queen mother down and send her to the temple."

Those few people came back to their senses and ran over to help the Empress Dowager Wei who had weakened her legs from fright.

Several of Qin Zhen's confidants hurriedly went to check on those people who were struck by lightning to see if they were still alive.

At this moment, another loud noise was heard in the sky.

"Boom and boom—"

A huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky again, and struck straight on the temple. This time, there were no casualties after a bang, but the timing of the lightning fell was a bit coincidental. Just as the steps of the temple were about to enter the temple, such a thunder fell, and everyone froze for an instant, not daring to enter the temple. The same was true for Queen Mother Wei, who froze at the door.

Several of Qin Zhen's cronies looked at each other, and the leader among them took a deep breath, pretending not to know, and picked up the already scorched servant, and strode towards the temple.

When he reached the entrance of the temple, he was also suffocated. He raised his foot nervously and stepped in with one leg carefully. He didn't hear the thunder until he landed safely. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with big strides.

The servants standing at the door widened their eyes suddenly when they saw this, and then looked at Queen Mother Wei with complicated eyes in an instant.

Qin Zhen and Song Yan received the secret report after the rain stopped the next day. At that time, Qin Zhen happened to be at Song Yan's side cracking walnuts for him.

After listening, Song Yan was dumbfounded for a while, and asked the messenger in astonishment: "What did you say? They missed the thunder that struck the big tree, but after the Queen Mother left, a lightning struck the maid beside her. Ah no, the male pet pretending to be a maid? Later, when the Queen Mother was about to enter the temple, a thunderstorm struck the temple?"

The man nodded quickly and said, "Well, after Master Sun carried the male pet that was slashed inside, there was no thunder from the sky. It proved that the thunder didn't intend to slash that male pet that day."

Song Yan couldn't help asking: "Then the queen mother didn't try to enter the temple again?"

The man replied: "No, Mr. Sun invited the Queen Mother to go in, but the Queen Mother did not dare, she said that this temple is evil, she does not want to go in, she insisted on making a fuss and continued on the way to the post in front, and finally Mr. Sun had no choice but to send someone to continue Escort the Empress Dowager to the station ahead to shelter from the rain."

Song Yan laughed when he heard the words: "She just has a guilty conscience and doesn't dare. I'm afraid that if she insists on going in, another thunderbolt will strike her to death. But then she really can't explain it clearly."

The man hurriedly said: "No, it has been spread outside now, saying that the queen mother did something unacceptable, which attracted the thunder and punished her, and the gods did not allow her to go into the temple to hide from the rain. In addition, we Intentionally leading public opinion, saying that the thunder that fell on the tree in front of the temple before they arrived was actually an oracle from the gods to prevent the queen mother from returning to the palace. I was convinced that the plague was caused by the king's unfilial piety. The common people are shaken, after all, this plague is common, and it is unheard of for a person to be hit by thunder two or three times in succession. The thunder is uncontrollable, which is more like the will of God at a glance."

Song Yan smiled when he heard the words, turned his head to look at Qin Zhen who had been silent since hearing the news, and said, "Your confidant is very smart, courageous, and loyal, you must reward him well when you come back this time. "

Not to mention superstitious ancient people, even modern people who know the common sense of thunder and lightning would not dare to enter the temple under such circumstances. That confidant dared to venture in just to prove for Qin Zhen that the lightning strike was about to strike. It was the queen mother, not that insignificant male favorite.And it's not easy with just a gamble mentality.

Qin Zhen glanced at him when he heard the words, what do you need to say?

Song Yan curled his lips and ignored him, finally letting go of his so-called heart.

Qin Zhen still asked thoughtfully, "Do you think this is really God's will?"

Song Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, then glanced at him, and said dully: "Think too much, this thunder, it likes to chop things with high terrain and sharp points, the temple is located in a wide area, and the big tree suffered first, which means that the place It was quite thunderous. After that, the waiter pretending to be a male favorite was still holding a pointed umbrella. He held it so high that it was like sending him up to find lightning strikes. After that, the thunder that struck the temple may have been suffered twice in a row nearby. Lightning strikes, magnetism...just because of the changes in Feng Shui, it happened occasionally, and it will definitely not happen again when the mother comes in again."

It is an anecdote that a place can be struck by lightning three times in a row. It is absolutely impossible to have a fourth time. It is really haunted.It's just that the Queen Mother has done something bad and feels guilty and dare not try again.

After Song Yan thought of something, he turned to the messenger and asked, "Apart from the male pet who pretended to be a maid, how are the other servants affected? Are their lives in danger?"

The man hurriedly said: "Oh, Mr. Sun and the others have checked, and they said that the others were only injured and unconscious, and their lives are not in danger."

Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good."

Then as soon as he turned his head, he met Qin Zhen's probing eyes that looked like golden eyes.

Song Yan felt uncomfortable being watched by him, and he couldn't help asking: "You, why do you look at me like that? Now that the queen mother's matter has been settled, you ordered that the queen mother be sent back to Beiyao fiefdom by the same route, there will be absolutely no harm. How many people stopped it."

Qin Zhen still looked at him with an inquisitive face: "The miracle doctor you met when you were young also told you these things?"

Song Yan was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and then hurriedly said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, the miracle doctor has great powers, and he knows a lot."

Qin Zhen didn't say whether he believed it or not. After seeing him for a while, he looked away, told him to rest well, and then took the people away, presumably to deal with the Queen Mother's affairs.

Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and it turned out that when people are lucky, they are lucky in everything.Although the matter of the queen mother has been resolved, if the corpses of those who died of the plague are not burned, there may still be hidden dangers. Song Yan was worried about how to persuade the ancient people to burn the corpses of those people, so someone helped him solve it. up.

This person is also the genius doctor who almost killed his plan before it fell short.

A few days later, the plague in Changning County was brought under control. With the presence of that miracle doctor, many people recovered after drinking the medicine. The local people not only regarded him as a miracle doctor, but directly regarded him as a god.

Then the god spoke, saying that it was not an act of filial piety to burn the corpses of their relatives according to the king's order. On the contrary, after burning those corpses, those people will be regarded as consummated and will go to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. It's not that immortals are better than immortals, which is similar to the death of Buddhism.

Anyway, he was quite capable of fooling around, and those people who were fooling around were stunned for a while. Fortunately, he added later that suicide is a crime in Xitian Paradise, and you can only suffer if you can't enjoy happiness, unless you really die after your life is exhausted.Otherwise, I am afraid that those common people will burn themselves to death and go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss to enjoy happiness.

No matter how good this person is at fooling, Song Yan is quite interested in this miracle doctor after hearing the rumors, and always feels that the nonsense of fooling people does not seem like something that a serious ancient person could say.

It wasn't long before Song Yan actually saw this miracle doctor, in his own small courtyard, Qin Zhen sent someone to bring it to him.At the same time, the miracle doctor also brought them a piece of news.

"This plague should not be a natural disaster, but man-made. The reason why I was able to prescribe the medicine immediately after I got the pulse is because I just came back from another epidemic area before this. This is a kind of plague. , the initial outbreak was in Beiman, it first occurred three months ago, it was brought under control two months ago, and it was basically cleared up a month ago before I left Beiman. According to my research, the current climate in Yao is not suitable for the outbreak of this kind of corpse epidemic infection , unless someone does it on purpose."
