The emperor is embarrassed

Now that the weather is getting colder, Ming Zhan moved to another palace with hot springs.He lived in the Guanju Palace, and at this moment, he was sitting in the study of the Guanju Palace, listening to Fang Shenxing's report of the case.

In addition to Taoist Qingcheng who was addicted to drugs, Taoist Zhong was also involved.

Zhong Daoren came to Ming Zhan and was still crying for grievances.

Of course, Daoist Zhong is different from ordinary people, and the way of calling out his grievances is by no means the same as that of ordinary people crying and shouting, "Taoist is wronged" or something.

Ming Zhan thinks that from the way of complaining, it can be seen that Taoist Zhong is definitely not vulgar.To be able to get to this point, Daoist Zhong is quite capable.Although he was interrogated, his face was disheveled, and his clothes were dirty, Zhong Daoren still maintained a calm and calm expression on his face, and the words he said were quite bitter. "Your Majesty, what Taoist Qingcheng and Kunlunzi have made for you is nothing more than an excellent aphrodisiac. Your Majesty is planning for the dragon's body. Don't trust the thief by mistake!"

Ming Zhan had already read the testimony of Fang Shenxing's interrogation, so he glanced at Taoist Zhong indifferently, "So, this matter has nothing to do with you?" He tapped the testimony on the table with his fingers, and asked, "Then what is this?"

Daoren Zhong is indeed a man of God, he confessed, "This matter is related to the Taoist, what the Taoist and Mr. Fang said is true. The medicine is indeed put in the tea in Qingcheng by the Taoist, but the medicine is Qingcheng's own medicine. .”

"Your Majesty's dragon body is responsible for hundreds of millions of people." Daoist Zhong sighed with compassion, "Your Majesty mistakenly believes in treachery, and Qingcheng is quite good at some dubious Taoism and refining some unsightly medicines. Your Majesty firmly believes that Qingcheng Taoist, what can Taoists say? Thousands of debates are not as good as one proof. The pill in Qingcheng is Huichun Dan. The Taoist once heard from his teacher that this pill was used by evil people. If your majesty takes this pill by mistake, the world will be destroyed It's dangerous, how can the Taoist not be in a hurry!"

"When a Taoist enters the palace, he can see the face of the dragon. The Taoist looks at His Majesty's appearance, but only looks at His Majesty's appearance. In fact, he is too merciful, and he is easy to be taken advantage of by villains." Taoist Zhong is not like a person who is about to be punished. He talked eloquently, "The Taoist preserves His Majesty's dragon body for the people of the world. Even if there are some mistakes, they are also forgiven by the heavens!"

Seeing his self-defense, Ming Zhan admired him a lot, but Ming Zhan didn't show any emotion on his face, and when he heard Zhong Daoren's words "Heaven is forgiven", his eyes showed unpredictable meaning.

Zhong Dao’s heart was overwhelmed, and finally, he gritted his teeth secretly, and said impartially, “Since the Taoist has descended from the mountain, he is a man in the world. He is a man in the world, but he must be bound by the laws of the country. I wish Your Majesty a long and boundless life!"

After saying these words, Taoist Zhong slowly closed his eyes, shouted the Taoist name for a long time, closed his eyes and passed away!

In the beginning, no one noticed that Daoren Zhong was dead, but seeing him standing on the ground with his eyes closed, Qian Duanyu boldly called out, "Taoist Zhong!"

Taoist Zhong didn't respond, He Yu, the most timid, changed his color first, and stood in front of Ming Zhan like an escort!

Ming Zhan frowned, "Go up! I'm fine."

He Yu withdrew again, and he hurriedly stood in front of Ming Zhan when things were going wrong. First, he was loyal to protect the Lord; second, he still remembered that when the imperial capital was shaken, the emperor said that the emperor had a hundred spirits to protect his body.He Yu saw that Taoist Zhong said he would die, it was so amazing and creepy, so he felt that he was closer to the emperor, and the gods around the emperor might see that he was loyal, so they would protect him as well.

Ming Zhan stared straight at Zhong Daoren's standing dead body, and had a faint realization in his heart.

Now in the palace, Qian Duanyu is the lowest grade, not counting the servants.Not facing two masters in one matter, he boldly went to Taoist Zhong again, his outstretched hand trembled slightly, and put the jade-like fingertips under Taoist Zhong's nose, his complexion changed drastically, and his voice changed, " Emperor, Your Majesty?"

When Ming Zhan beat Qian Duanyu, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Zhong Taoist deceived the emperor and deceived the lord, I will give him death!"

No one dared to speak.

In this era, the deterrent effect produced by the technique of gods and ghosts is still higher than the majesty of the emperor.Seeing that no one was moving, Ming Zhan went directly in front of Taoist Zhong, reached out and touched Taoist Zhong's neck, it was still warm.Pulling up Daoist Zhong's arm again, feeling for Daoist Zhong's pulse, his body is still not stiff, but the pulse is gone.

It seems that there is indeed no life.

Ming Zhan's courage made Fang Shenxing's face turn pale.

Ming Zhan sneered, "What are you afraid of! You are just a god, a ghost, and a Taoist! There are so many fake death drugs in this world, only you have never seen it, and there is no one they don't know! Could it be that if you have no breath, no pulse, you are dead?" Eyes are full Three points of cold light swept over Qian Duanyu and Fang Shenxing, "Your knowledge is still too little!"

"He Yu, ask Chen Sheng to come in!"

Chen Sheng is now the head of the guards around Ming Zhan. Ming Zhan ordered, "Your person, send Taoist Zhong to the corpse furnace! Turn him into fly ash!"

Chen Sheng took the order, and Ming Zhan then ordered, "He Yu, Yaoguang, you go with Chen Sheng."

"Fang Shenxing, send the Kunlun son of Danfang and the Taoist Qingcheng who was imprisoned to Caishikou, and behead them for public display!"

Ming Zhan's handling could not be described as unpleasant or ruthless, causing Fang Shenxing and Qian Duanyu to turn pale slightly, and retreated under orders.

Chen Sheng wanted to take Taoist Zhong's body down, Ming Zhan called Chen Sheng to stop him, and said in a cold voice, "Take twenty guards, if Taoist Zhong cheats on the corpse or something, they will be killed on the spot, even if they are chopped into meat, if Let him run away, I want your life!"

Chen Sheng didn't dare to ask the reason, but Ming Zhan rarely got angry, Chen Sheng accepted the order in a deep voice.To be safe, he stretched out his hand to clasp the back of Zhong Daoren's neck, but without seeing any movement, he heard the sound of bones breaking or dislocation, Zhong Daoren's originally stiff head shrugged weakly, and a drop of blood slowly dripped from the corner of his lips. It lands on the floor tiles and forms a dirty dark blot.

"Go, watch the burning, and then come back and report."

When Ruan Hongfei came back from the outside, he saw Ming Zhan sitting cross-legged on the couch with a gloomy face, so he knew something was wrong, he didn't even take a sip of water, so he quickly cared about Ming Xiaopang.

Ming Zhan sat on the couch, his face was cold and hard, "I was deceived."

"That Daoist Zhong, he just entered the palace to die." Ming Zhan said flatly.

Ruan Hongfei didn't know that Ming Zhan had already sent three Taoists pretending to be ghosts to the west after he had been out for so long. After hearing what Ming Zhan said, Ruan Hongfei frowned and said, "Anyway, people are already dead."

"He has to die, and I also need him to die. However, executing him like this has fulfilled him!" Ming Zhan lowered his eyes and said softly, "It's really too clever. Daoist Zhong's death is almost certain. took my pulse."

"Since you know that his death is suspended animation, why bother to burn Taoist Zhong." Ruan Hongfei put his arms around Ming Zhan's shoulders.

"Whether it's a real death or a fake death, if he dies once and lives again, and with appropriate means, the world shouldn't regard him as a god." Ming Zhan relaxed his back slightly, leaned on Ruan Hongfei's arm, and sighed , "Everyone in the world has gone to worship the gods, what use is there for me, the emperor."

Ruan Hongfei didn't comfort Ming Zhan, but instead said, "At the beginning, if I could pretend to be Wei Ning, there must be someone who can pretend to be Daoist Zhong. Ming Zhan, the people behind the scenes are not simple, but you have a tough battle to fight."

"It's amazing." Ming Zhan sighed, "Now, there is only one way to go."

Seeing that Ming Zhan had already made up his mind, Ruan Hongfei felt slightly relieved, and said with a smile, "I know it's such a busy day, so I won't go out."

"Has Liu Ying left?" Ming Zhan asked.

"I originally thought about leaving tomorrow, but it has been raining these past few days, and the sea wind is relatively strong, so I have to delay for a few more days." Ruan Hongfei smiled, "I heard that you called Xiaoyaohou, Linjianghou, Jinyihou, Shanren Hou came to the imperial capital?"

Ming Zhan nodded, "They are all members of the clan, and I haven't met them since I became the throne. Although the blood relationship is far away, it's good to meet once."

"Is it the queen mother's idea for you?" Ruan Hongfei smiled, Ming Zhan was quite enthusiastic about the princess and other close relatives at first.And since Ming Zhan came to the throne, as Ming Zhan gradually gathered power, even the princesses were separated.

This doesn't mean that Zhan is ungrateful, Mingyan and Mingya are close blood relatives to Mingzhan after all, and they have a good relationship since childhood, if it is for the sake of selflessness to promote outsiders and suppress their own people.

Then he is not an emperor, but a saint.

Since the last banquet held by the Tianjin Port Merchants Association, Ruan Hongfei has heard that the Empress Dowager Wei mentioned Mrs. Xiaoyaohou at the banquet.Ruan Hongfei knew what Empress Dowager Wei meant at that time.

Ming Zhan ascended the throne, after all, he was not a direct branch of Fengjing. Although the blood relatives of those clans outside were far away, they still had to meet and use both kindness and power.Besides, the court now has money.

Ruan Hongfei said, "Now the three emperors and grandsons are in your hands, the emperor is still alive, and your father has hundreds of thousands of troops far in the southwest. It is not easy to overthrow your throne."

"It's just because it's not easy, that's why some people set up such a shocking situation, thinking of destroying my prestige step by step." Ming Zhan said coldly, "It's useless to say this now, I have already become the emperor, so naturally I have to continue to do it. go down."

What did the Supreme Emperor do?

It's okay to abdicate on your own initiative, such as Feng Jingqian.If he is forced to abdicate, Ming Zhan will not be willing to die!

Ruan Hongfei didn't have a good way to deal with the matter of the gods, ghosts and Taoists Zhong Taoist. After all, if people want to be dark, they are in the light.

As Ming Zhan said, Daoist Zhong lost his breath and died in front of Ming Zhan. Moreover, this kind of karma was exhausted, and he died standing up while shouting the Taoist number, which was somewhat mysterious.

The reason why Ming Zhan burned Daoren Zhong's body was because he was afraid that Daoren Zhong would fake his death if the body was thrown out of the palace.A few days later, Taoist Zhong came back to life just like Ruan Hongfei did back then.Of course Ming Zhan doesn't believe that someone will come back from the dead, but in this era of believing in gods, Taoism, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Ming Zhan doesn't believe it, and there are countless people who are willing to believe it.

Daoist Zhong "resurrected from the dead" and "became an immortal and became a saint", which would bring endless troubles to Ming Zhan.

Even if it is the king of a country, if he confronts the gods, the people will definitely lean towards the gods.

This era is such a custom society.

At the beginning, the wise men such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were deceived by alchemists, let alone ordinary people.

If it wasn't for the most distinctive soul in Ming Zhan, would he be in awe of Zhong Daoren's death?Whether it is an emperor or an ordinary person, as long as he is in awe of something, it is easier to be taken advantage of by others.

Ming Zhan's Huimin is by no means comparable to ordinary people, when he saw Zhong Daoren so mysteriously he lost his breath.The suspiciousness in his temper immediately made Ming Zhan realize: Why did Zhong Taoist die!

Regardless of whether Zhong Daoren's death is fake or real, at this moment, Ming Zhan has realized that he wanted to follow the vines, but in the end, he was tricked into this trick.Therefore, Daoist Zhong must not be allowed to live.

As long as Daoist Zhong is completely dead, no matter how many "Taoist Zhong" appear in the future, at least they are fake!

Moreover, Ming Zhan already has a way to deal with this ghost game.

At this moment, the royal press once again played its pivotal role.

Ming Zhan wrote an article "How Taoists Deceived" with his own personal experience, and then launched nationwide activities to expose and criticize folk witchcraft scams.

In the courtyard of singing birds and fragrant flowers, under a green wisteria, there is still an exquisite chessboard. There is only one chair beside the chessboard. The man is sitting in the chair leisurely, with his back facing the rising sun, leaving a clear silhouette on the ground .A round sunspot was pinched in the beautiful palm, his neck was slightly lowered, and he was watching the deadlock between the chessboards.

"Our Emperor, His Majesty, is really extraordinary." Apart from the black and white papers, this person also had a copy of the latest edition of the royal newspaper in his hand, and praised without hesitation, "Wisdom and decisiveness are rare in the world."

"Young Master, how can you show off the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"

"It's not to show off other people's aspirations, it's the truth." After a faint sigh, "Our plan was seen through by His Majesty the Emperor, it's a pity for Zhong Shanzi."

"When Shanzi went to the imperial capital, he already had the heart to sacrifice for the son."

"I won't let Shan Zi die in vain." The man continued calmly, "Don't act rashly. Since His Majesty the Emperor has broken this situation, don't let Nan Zi show up for now. After a while, he will definitely be useful!"

"My lord, isn't your hard work these days wasted?"

"The world is peaceful now, and His Majesty's power and position are unbreakable. If Nanzi shows his face, he will just hit a stone with an egg. If the enemy advances and retreats, if Nanzi is allowed to go out at this time, it will hit His Majesty's heart." Looking at the sunspots in his palm, "All chess pieces are useful, it just depends on where you put them!"
