Heroes of Northern History

It is said that Gao Huan became ill due to exposure to black air, suspected that Erzhu's old Dier Zhuzhao was the cause of trouble, and chose a place in Dongcheng to build a new mansion.Day and night supervision, limited to crash.However, the spirit is reduced day by day, and it is done when it is cold or hot.Every three or four days, I go out to deal with the military situation, and I am very tired.Doctors often take medicine, but nothing works.

One day, when the new mansion was completed, King Gao went to see it in person. The courtyard was deep, the buildings overlapped, the resplendent and resplendent, and the ingenuity of every construction.On the third day of March, Empress Tong Erzhu moved in.In his bedroom, he said: "Guanghan Immortal Mansion", the bead curtain embroidered house, just like the orchid house in Yaotai, which is far from human.When all officials come to congratulate, they are all ordered to avoid seeing them.In the evening, she and Empress Erzhu sat across from each other to drink, and said to her with a smile: "You are Gillian, can this be a golden house?"

Empress Erzhu smiled.He also said: "I was ill a few days ago, and because of the uneasiness in the mansion, I hurried past here, thinking peacefully."

Before the words were finished, Gao Wang suddenly closed his eyes and mouth tightly, his nose was bloody, he couldn't sit still, and gradually got down from his seat.Empress Erzhu and the people around her were shocked, they hurriedly helped him up, and he was already unconscious.

Empress Erzhu was at her wit's end, and when she saw that she was about to die, she cried and shouted.So according to the custom at that time to rescue the sudden death, the maid was ordered to take paper money from the outer shrine and burn it in the court, and to reward the land with wine, and the nosebleeds disappeared after a while.Soon, she opened her mouth, and when Empress Erzhu came, she filled it with ginger soup.It took a long time to wake up, staring at Empress Erzhu, but unable to make a sound.

Empress Erzhu immediately helped him into the bedroom.About two hours later, King Gao suddenly moaned, and cried to Empress Erzhu, "I thought I would never see you again."

Empress Erzhu asked: "Before, King Gao, why was this so?"

Gao Wang said: "I was talking with Qing, and I saw only one person in front of me, more than ten feet long, with a yellow scarf on his head, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and told me: "The boss has an invitation. ’ I asked: “Who is the chief? You dare to enter without authorization.” Just as I was about to scold him, this man pinched my throat, his eyes were dark, and I didn’t know where to go. He heard your voice calling me, so he couldn’t open his mouth. Hun Yaoyao gradually felt away from the body, and suddenly there was a fire coming out of the top door, and the breath in his throat turned, and he opened his eyes to see you. So far, my throat hurts, my eyes hurt, and I have no strength in my body. It seems that my life is not long."

Empress Erzhu burst into tears when she heard this, and tried to comfort her: "Your Majesty's vitality is weak, so he sees gods and ghosts. You should report it to your son, and ask the doctor to prescribe medicine to regulate your vitality, and it will recover naturally." King Gao nodded.

The next day, the son was called.Hearing the call, the eldest son hurried to the new mansion to pay a visit, and also to visit Empress Erzhu.

Gao Wang said to his son: "I got sick in the middle of February, and it has been delayed until now. It was even more serious last night. Your mother doesn't know about it in Beifu. Go and tell her." After finishing speaking, he was ordered to leave the palace.

The eldest son retreated to the middle hall and asked to see Empress Erzhu.Empress Erzhu stepped out, and the son said, "What's wrong with the father? My son doesn't know, please explain the reason in detail."

Empress Erzhu told Gao Cheng how she had pain the day before, how she recovered, and how she fell into a coma last night.

After hearing this, the son was shocked and said: "Father's illness is too serious, and he should be treated as soon as possible. Everything depends on your mother's care. I will report back to my mother later, and then I will greet you." Saying goodbye.

The son went to see Concubine Lou and said, "I went to see my father today, and I am sick in bed, very heavy."

Concubine Lou asked in amazement, "What's the disease?" The prince reported that he was drinking in the back garden, and the black air touched him, causing him sudden pain.Suspecting that Er Zhuzhao was causing trouble, he moved to the new mansion. Unexpectedly, there was blood in his nose last night, and he fell into a coma. He only woke up in the middle of the night, and his condition worsened than before.

Concubine Lou was shocked after hearing this, so she asked: "Who is accompanying the new mansion, Naier lingers and forgets to return?"

The prince said: "My father and the king are not allowed to disclose this matter, so I dare not tell my mother. But you are my mother, so I will tell you, Empress Nerzhu, the beauty of the new mansion."

Concubine Lou said: "Why is Empress Erzhu here?" "The prince said: "Empress Erzhu was captured by Mrs. Hengshan. His father saw her as beautiful, so he took her in and never left her. "

Concubine Lou said: "It's a matter of reputation for a minister to accept a monarch's wife. How dare your father do this? You should sleep outside the pavilion door tonight, and let me know if you are seriously ill." The prince bowed again and retreated.Concubine Lou sighed.In a short time, all the ladies came to ask about Wang's illness when they heard about it.Concubine Lou told the truth, and she was all shocked.

Concubine Lou said to Tonghua: "Your Majesty, Empress Naerzhu, why did you hide it from me?"

Tonghua said: "Your Majesty has orders, and you are not allowed to tell them. But the crime is really a concubine. If you don't capture her and return, how can she be accepted by the king." The wives said, "How does this girl look like?"

Tonghua said: "If you talk about appearance, she is really beautiful. I feel pity for her when I see her, how can the king not love?" Suddenly an envoy said: "The king's disease is rare, and he has entered the decoction." Everyone feels at ease.Concubine Lou wanted to ask about her illness, so she sent the palace envoy to ask her first.The king ordered her not to come, but Concubine Lou was not happy.You must know that Gao Wang is not a disease, but is specially made by witchcraft.At dusk, he fell into a coma, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and saw Yuyi's troops standing beside Cuipingxuan in the distance, and yellow scarves crowded around the bed, inviting them to go with him, and his soul was about to leave.Fortunately, there are two strong men who look like Tianding, one holds a sword, the other holds a gourd, standing in front of the bed to guard, the yellow scarf dare not get close.Wake up at four drums, like this every night, so the muscles are thin, and the self-awareness will not be guaranteed.

One day, Zhao Shizi ordered: "I am unpredictable, but military affairs cannot be corrupted. You pass on my order and ask Dou Tai to lead [-] soldiers to patrol Hengzhou and Sizhou. Five thousand, moved to Pingyang; Duan Shao temporarily served as the governor of the town, commanded five thousand Xiao infantry, and defended Bingzhou; Enter straight. The rest of the leaders and generals will carry out as usual. Tomorrow, I will offer incense to each of my temples and offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple." His son Gao Cheng received the order one by one, and just walked out of the door, someone came to report that the king was still unconscious, his mouth and nose bleed.The prince was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the medical officer, "What's wrong with the father?"

He replied: "Your minister checked Gao Wang's pulse yesterday, and it was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Today, it is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. This is a ghost pulse, and there must be a ghost, so the day is light and the night is heavy." concern.Tomorrow, Wang's illness is minor, fearing that the public will be disturbed, he will force him to sit in a sedan chair and sit out to listen to the government.There are embroidered tents on a gold bed in the hall, and there are 12 deacons and maids beside them, all of whom are in charge of external and internal documents, notes and forms.King Gao was promoted to the hall, so he summoned civil and military officials of all sizes from the Hefu to pay homage.After all, I said a few words roughly, so that they all retreated. Only the astronomical officer asked him, "do you see any changes in the astronomical phenomena?"

The astronomical official replied: "The sky is not much different, but Taifu stars are unknown, evil spirits are blinded, and there are unexpected disasters on the Lord." Gao Wang asked: "When did this energy start?" He replied: "At the beginning of March I have been guilty of this qi for three nights, and it may be bright or dark recently, but there is no certainty. It is suspected that there is a ghost lying down, so the king will not be at ease."

King Gao said, "What is a corpse ghost?" He replied, "The moon and Jidu in the sky are disasters. This is the so-called technique of burying corpses. If the king commits a crime, there must be someone who hates the king in the dark." As a technique of dispelling charms, he was bewildered by the chaotic atmosphere, which made the king's spirit less and less. Luckily, Ji Yao will be with him, so he can protect the king without any worries." At the time of You, King Gao boarded the car and entered again, because he thought: "Don't dare to go inside, outside, left, and right. For resentment, only Mrs. Hengxinshan is familiar with witchcraft, and she was so loving when she was not Queen Naerzhu. Now they are left out in the cold, and some have resentment and secretly harmed me. I don’t know. I need to call him here and move them with the love of husband and wife. , naturally change your mind and save me." He hesitated.That night, the illness was still the same, and tomorrow I will call Tonghua. "

"Tonghua said to Concubine Lou: "The king called a concubine, I don't know what it means? She said: "My sister is resourceful, and I don't worry about my sister leaving. It's best to go right away." "Tonghua arrived at the new mansion, King Gao was sleeping soundly, and Empress Erzhu was sitting in front of the bed.

Tonghua came in and met Empress Erzhu, so she opened the tent and saw Gao Wang's haggard face, and she couldn't help but shed tears.King Gao took her hand and said to her: "Come here, does Concubine Lou know?" Tonghua said: "Sister Concubine Lou asked me to come. I don't know why the king has lost so much weight?" King Gao said: "Is there any illness? In addition, according to those who observed the sky, some people hated me and practiced magic spells in secret, which made my condition worse. When I fell into a coma, there were yellow scarf soldiers who came to force me. You usually have spiritual skills, and I want you to practice them. Drive them away to relieve my misfortune. Otherwise, my life will be over."

Tonghua said: "Concubines and others are all dependent on the king. If they can be removed, the concubines will help the king even if they are smashed to pieces, but I am afraid that the concubines don't have that ability." After speaking, tears fell like rain.Seeing her sincerity, Gao Wang also cried, so he said: "The Taoist rescued me the day before yesterday and asked me to stick three pieces of clothing with my flesh and use them as dharma objects so that the pain can be relieved."

Tonghua asked: "Where is the Taoist?" Gao Wang said: "He has left." Tonghua said: "The king was mistaken by him? Now that he has been rescued, why is the disease still lingering? And he still needs to wear clothes, which is very suspicious. .”

Gao Wang said: "The clothes have been returned, and now they are locked in a lock. Please don't move them rashly, or you will get sick if you move them."

Tonghua said: "Since you said that, since you didn't open the box, why did you get sick? Concubine Yi Daoist is definitely not a good person, there must be someone who wants to harm the king and steal Gao Wang's clothes, and do it well to harm the king." Gao Wang understood, so he ordered The man opened the box, and there were some ragged clothes, not Gao Wang's clothes.Both King Gao and Empress Erzhu were taken aback.Gao Wang said to Tonghua: "If Qing is not smart, I will be killed by traitors. By the way, what do you think of this matter?"

Tonghua said: "My concubine asks to try it." So she entered the secret room, chanted a mantra with a sword, took a cup of clean water, and buried it in front of the bedroom door.That night, King Gao was in a coma. He woke up after a while and said to Tonghua: "I fell asleep and saw a big river forming in front of the bedroom door. Countless yellow scarf soldiers were looking across the river and couldn't come over, so I woke up." This is all thanks to you."

It is said that Pan Youzhang practiced dharma day and night in Beijing, but he did not see Gao Wang's soul captured, so he summoned an envoy to ask him.The divine envoy said: "In front of King Gao's bed, there are two guerrilla generals of the Jiuzhen Palace. They were ordered by Jiuzhen to send guards and not to come near them. There is another woman who is practicing the law there. There is a big river blocking the way in front of the palace, so her soul cannot be taken away. .”

So Youzhang added a secret mantra to prohibit the two lights in front of the bed, so that he could not be rescued.And write a few talismans, in the incinerator, so that the yellow turban warriors can go forward without hindrance.He ordered: "The deadline has come, and the living soul will be arrested quickly, and there must be no violation." The strongman was ordered to go.Sure enough, the sorcery was powerful, Gao Wang's blood gushed like a spring that night, and he was in a coma.

Empress Erzhu and Tonghua kept watch until midnight, gradually dying out, panicked and weeping at each other.He hurriedly summoned the prince to come in. Seeing that King Gao was in critical condition, the prince was so sad that he had to kneel in front of the court and pray to the sky.

It was the fifteenth day of the third month.After a long time, the breath gradually came out of the mouth, the bleeding stopped, and the eyes were slightly opened and closed, and gradually became able to speak. Seeing the son in front of him, he said to him: "I can hardly return to the world. Recently when my eyes were dim, I saw the yellow scarf The army came again, each holding a sword and flew across the Yellow River. There were two generals standing in front of the bed, but they disappeared until now, and they were forced by the yellow scarves one by one. They couldn't help themselves, so they had to follow him.

It moves like flying, and I also expect to die.Walking halfway, suddenly a group of people came, and immediately sat a nobleman, crowned and dressed like a king, who stopped before and scattered the yellow scarves.

He took a horse, taught me how to ride, sent me back, and said: "I am the king of Jin, and the temple is in the west of the city. I heard that you are in trouble, so I came to rescue you. Tomorrow someone will be under my west corridor, and the matter will be known. Afterwards, the Yellow Turban Army didn't dare to come and disturb me.' Go to the door of the bedroom and push me away, and I wake up. Tomorrow, you go to the temple early to offer incense, and you will take Ziru to inspect it carefully."

Everyone is very happy.Then he said to the son: "Your mother can know." The eldest son said: "I saw that the father was in danger and sent someone to report. Fortunately, he is safe now, so he sent someone again." At that time, Concubine Lou was in Beifu, and she first heard about King Gao Xin, weeping with the wives, Empress Erzhu sent someone here to say that King Gao will be safe, and everyone feels at ease.The son sat until dawn, and if he called his son to tell the king, he rode a horse to the temple together, taking only a few relatives with him.

The Taoist came in, first burned incense to the temple, saw the statue, and the prince knelt down to pray and thank him.After worshiping and getting up, the Taoist priest had tea, and walked into the West Corridor with Ziru.Seeing a person fleeing in a hurry, Ziru looked at the strange man with a kind face, and suddenly thought: "This is Zhang Gou'er from Hu Sichun's family. Why are you here? There must be a reason." He called everyone to arrest him and take him to the mansion.The prince didn't understand, but Sima Zi said to you, "I'll find out in a while."

So they went to the secret room of Sima Ziru's mansion together and sat down.He was brought into the room for interrogation and asked, "What is your name? What are you doing here?" The man said, "Shi Fang, the villain, came here to buy horses. Because there are two companions living in the temple, I went to the temple to look for them." Such as: "Do you recognize me?" He replied: "I don't know."

Ziru smiled and said, "You don't know me, but I know you. You are Zhang Gou'er from Hu Sichun's family, how can you hide it from me." The man turned pale when he heard this, and kowtowed: "The villain is indeed Hu Sichun. The family members came here under the command of the master, and issued an edict to Zhang Xingang at Dongxing Pass."

Ziru said: "It's all lies. You are a trusted family member of the servant, and there must be a reason for sending you here. Call it out quickly, so that you will not die." Immediately behead!" Gou'er insisted.Ziru ordered to be locked up, sent people to the temple, escorted the temple owner, and took him as a companion.Get it soon.Not letting him meet Gou'er, he lined up knives and axes in the inner hall, bound him and knelt down, and shouted: "You are the Hu Sichun family, your master, love, matter, Zhang Gou'er has accepted. You two also If there is any discrepancy in the confession, you will die by the knife immediately."

The two men were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and it was hard to deny that Gou Er had already confessed, so they left Hu Sichun at the Taoist house and confessed their feelings and things one by one.Then he took Gou'er and asked: "Your Patriarch secretly practiced the technique of nightmare and evil, and I know all about it. Do you still dare to hide it?" Shouted: "Punishment!" Gou'er saw that the incident had been revealed, and was punished. It's useless, so I have to tell the truth.The prince asked: "What is the name of the demon way?"

Gou'er said: "One Huang Pingxin, one Pan Youzhang, and Li Wuwu who came to steal clothes." He asked again, "What method did you do?" The king's clothes were put on the grass man and buried in the ground. It is said that on the fifteenth day of the third month, the king will die, so he sent a villain here to inquire. This is all the master's order. I can't help myself. I beg for mercy." The prince listened, Furious, he said, "Insinuating, what a villain's trick! If you're dignified and poisoned secretly, you'd rather die!" Sima Ziru said, "If it wasn't for the blessing of the king, he would be in danger of being murdered." He ordered the three of them to be imprisoned.The prince hurried back to the new mansion, walked into the bedroom door, met Tonghua and asked, "Is the king safe?"

Tonghua said, "Da'an." Then they went to see the king together in front of the tent.Then he will go to the temple to capture the dog's son, and to trial the secret nightmare of the imperial court. He will tell you everything about his charm and love.Gao Wang sighed: "Why should I bear the court and put me to death? I have to make my own plan now." He ordered Gou'er to wait for a good line of supervision and not let him die, thinking that it will be proved in the future.When the son left, the door officials reported to Gao Rongzu, a magician in Hengzhou, and Li Yexing, a magician in Shandong.When King Gai was seriously ill, he also called for a cure.The son of the world saw it and described the reason in detail.

The two said: "We all know these two ways of demons. Ordinary believers have limited magic power; Youzhang is good at holding a spell to lay down a corpse, which is completely harmful to people's lives. Fortunately, the law has been broken. Except for this technique, all other methods can be cured. It's nothing to worry about." The son was overjoyed, enlightened King Gao, and kept the two of them in the mansion.Since then, Gao Wang has calmed down and his spirit has gradually become stronger. No matter how big or small the matter is, he will do it exclusively, and he will no longer be ordered by the emperor.But I don't know what kind of tricks Pingxin and Youzhang can do at Hu Sichun's house, and I'll listen to the next chapter.
