Daozu is my ex-boyfriend [Fengshen + Honghuang]
Chapter 60 Countdown to Ascension
It took her a lot of effort to explain clearly to the sad and excited people: Hongjun had gone on a journey, instead of returning to her dream like in the old man's story.
People let out an "oh" in disappointment.
However, seeing Feng Ning was enough to surprise them.Especially in their view, this year's bumper harvest was brought by Feng Ning.
After Feng Ning once again sincerely rejected the invitation of countless people to go with him, the people who joined in the fun gradually dispersed, Feng Ning turned his head again, and saw four people standing in the same place at a loss...
"What are you doing?" Feng Ning asked, "I don't blame you."
The old man responded cheerfully, and took out two candles from his booth, which were auspicious dragons and phoenixes: "When Mr. Yuanchu comes back, the prime minister can light it with him."
This "click and play" is a bit esoteric.
Fortunately, the folk customs of Chaoge City are simple and honest, whether it is Huang Feihu or the old man, they all have expressions of "this is normal".Feng Ning thought that I was the only one who was dirty, so she thanked her, wrapped her candles, and went to her mansion.
This is the afternoon, and the busiest time is in the evening.
Although Feng Ning didn't care about other people making up stories about her and Hongjun, but after hearing it from others, and once again realizing the fact that Hongjun was not by her side, Feng Ning also stopped thinking about shopping in the market.With this time, why not go to the research institute and think about whether there is anything in other worlds that can be moved to Chaoge and suitable for Chaoge culture.
It is also good to be able to suppress a gunpowder.
Speaking of developing gunpowder, Feng Ning suddenly remembered today.Today's day is in the 23rd century plane, and it is also a grand festival, called the Mid-Autumn Festival, also called the Reunion Festival, a day when relatives and friends get together.
On this day, the whole family will gather together to watch the moon, eat moon cakes, and watch the party...
I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more lonely I feel.
Feng Ning suddenly began to regret that he did not develop gunpowder earlier, nor did he promote paper earlier.Otherwise, like an old man selling candles, among the people who come to Chaoge, there are ingenious craftsmen who can make all kinds of lanterns, or ministers from the Ministry of Industry who can make fireworks. Add a little beauty to the festival.
Feng Ning originally wanted to work overtime, but it didn't take long before she went to her home.
At that time, she crossed the street again and saw all the men, women and children on the street gathered together, bringing out the new corn and rice for "drying rice", showing off their harvest to each other, and all of a sudden, there were endless praises.
This time, Feng Ning learned how to be good, and she didn't want to be handed a chopstick meal by each of them, so she deliberately spared another way and walked to a place where there were fewer people.
It was so easy to get home.
Because of today's Harvest Festival, Lan Xiang School also has a day off.Lei Zhenzi has now reached a sensible age. Although he is young and not tall, he looks like a small carrot head.But he has already learned a lot of basic etiquette, he insisted on honoring his "mother", and waited outside the door early, waiting for Feng Ning to come back.
As soon as Feng Ning arrived at the door, he saw Xiaolei Zhenzi standing there.
She smiled and went forward, rubbing Lei Zhenzi's head: "Why are you waiting for me outside? You are still young, just rest at home."
Xiaolei Zhenzi put on a straight face: "Courtesy cannot be broken." Like a little old man.
But he is still a child after all, and the etiquette that he insisted on can't match the child's nature, as expected, the next second the child looked at Feng Ning with flickering eyes: "Is the prime minister going to the market for the Harvest Festival? "
Lei Zhenzi once called Feng Ning "Mother", but since Feng Ning corrected his address, he stopped calling Feng Ning that way. On the surface, he only called Feng Ning "Master Prime Minister", but how did he call Feng Ning in his heart? No one can control him.
Lei Zhenzi is too young to remember what happened last year.Therefore, he didn't remember that Feng Ning and Hongjun carried him to the Harvest Festival to play together last year, so he was very curious about the Harvest Festival.
"Want to go to the Harvest Festival?" Feng Ning asked.
"En!" Lei Zhenzi's eyes were shining, and he followed Feng Ning's pace, strenuously crossing the threshold that was a bit high for him - and even refused Feng Ning's help. This courage to face challenges can be said He is a qualified "future general star".When he climbed the threshold, he had to use all his strength, and he had no energy left to talk to Feng Ning. When he crossed the threshold, he was afraid that Feng Ning would forget his answer just now: "I want to go with Mr. Prime Minister and Mother White Bear! Hmm... Plus Mr. Yuanchu."
Feng Ning: ...
The system cannot speak in front of ordinary people, not even in front of Lei Zhenzi.Therefore, Lei Zhenzi always thought it was just an ordinary white bear, and for some reason, he even recognized the system as his mother.
Feng Ning was silent for a while: "They won't come back today, and they won't come back soon. If you want to go to the Harvest Festival, you might as well ask the nanny to take you there."
"Oh." Lei Zhenzi nodded disappointedly: "Then let's go together when they come back next year. By the way, when will Mother White Bear come back?"
Because the system played with Lei Zhenzi the most, even more than the nanny, so Lei Zhenzi liked the system the most.
Feng Ning paused for a moment, and said: They may not come back next year.Swallowed it back.
Lei Zhenzi waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the prime minister's answer. He was wondering if he had made a mistake in asking something, when he saw the prime minister suddenly turned a corner and walked in another direction.
Feng Ning didn't deliberately slow down, and matched Lei Zhenzi's speed.So Lei Zhenzi followed Feng Ning and ran forward...
Children always have too many questions: "Where is that? Is the prime minister going there?"
There, is the kitchen.
"Wow!" Lei Zhenzi exclaimed slightly: "Is this where the meals we eat on weekdays are made from?"
Feng Ning: ...
Feng Ning did not expect Xiaolei Zhenzi to follow.Seeing that the child was also very curious about the kitchen, she lowered her hand, took the child's chubby hand, and walked into the kitchen.
People in the kitchen are busy.
It is the rule of Chaoge to eat corn and rice during the Harvest Festival.The common people outside had just finished eating, if Feng Ning hadn't come back later, the Prime Minister's Mansion would have had dinner earlier.The corn in Prime Minister Feng Ning's mansion was just delivered from the experimental field in Yuli, so it was plump and less ripe than the common people's corn.
When Feng Ning entered, the foreman was admonishing his subordinates: "Keep the fire hotter! Faster! Who of you can afford to starve the prime minister and the young master?"
"I won't eat corn today." Feng Ning dragged Xiaolei Zhenzi in: "You do your own thing, just do what you want."
Everyone jumped when they saw Feng Ning coming in.
However, they have also seen Feng Ning enter the kitchen before. Although Feng Ning is the prime minister of a country, he still has to cook from time to time, making some weird things, but they are rarely delicious.It's just that when Feng Ning first started cooking, he didn't know how to burn firewood at all, so he often needed a person who specializes in burning firewood by his side. It wasn't until last year that Feng Ning mastered the knack of making fire.
When the foreman saw Feng Ning, his initial shock subsided, he saluted Feng Ning, and asked cautiously, "Is the prime minister coming to make mooncakes again?"
Feng Ning once made moon cakes during the Harvest Festival, and let them see and taste them, so they all had the impression: "Forgive me for talking too much, but the prime minister might not be able to eat enough moon cakes, why don't you pair them with a little millet?" rice?"
After all, it is a rule to eat corn during the Harvest Festival.
But Feng Ning didn't want to eat: "No one is at home, I can't eat alone."
In fact, if she didn't have a sense of ritual, she wouldn't even want to eat mooncakes.
The head waiter said "here" and led the other chefs down.
Lei Zhenzi was very interested in Feng Ninghe's "face".From the young boy's perspective, the so-called "noodles" are the same thing as the mud he plays with.Feng Ning saw that Lei Zhenzi's eyes were too longing, so she took the child to wash her hands and asked him to follow suit.
By the time the mooncakes were made, the sky was getting dark.
Should be in time.
Feng Ning opened the door and looked at the sky, then put the made mooncakes in the pot again: "There is no oven, so I can only make mooncakes like this - let's try to bake them." After she finished speaking, she pointed to the The bunny-shaped moon cake next to it: "Do you remember? You made that moon cake yourself, don't let them snatch it then."
Xiaolei Zhenzi has long forgotten how he looked like during the Harvest Festival last year, and he also forgot how he cried hoarsely after being robbed of mooncakes.But after hearing Feng Ning's warning, he still gave a shiver, straightened his back, and expressed that he would definitely protect his little rabbit!
Feng Ning: ...
The time from pot to bake is just right.
Feng Ning counted the time and saw that the moon was getting higher and higher, so she picked up a few months of cakes from the pot, held a small plate with mooncakes in one hand, and took Xiaolei Zhenzi with the other, and came to the back garden.
In the back garden, a maid had set up the small wooden table early on. When the wind settled down, the moonlight just flowed quietly on the small wooden table.So, she put melons and fruits on both sides, and put moon cakes in the middle... Then she lit the incense sticks she prepared before...
Lei Zhenzi stretched out his little hand, wanting to take his little rabbit.
But as soon as that little hand reached the edge of the table, it was wrapped by Feng Ning's big hand: "You can't move, you can only eat the incense stick when it falls to the incense ash."
"Is this dedicated to the gods?" Lei Zhenzi also withdrew his hand.He had seen the maids in the mansion burn incense and worship God, so he also knew the process.Isn't it just waiting for the incense ash to fall?It's okay, he can bear it.only……
"Who are we worshiping? Is it the Harvest God?"
whom?
Feng Ning was not actually worshiping God.Waiting for the ashes to fall before eating mooncakes is just a habit she developed in other planes.In Chaoge, she doesn't like the so-called gods, and Hongjun once told her that there is no god on the moon, there is only a girl born with the moon, that is a dead sister, brother-in-law, and her beloved. sad person.
Feng Ning thought for a while, then said silently: "It's just a wish on the moon."
What wish?Is it to hope that people will last forever and share the joys and joys of thousands of miles?But even the sad person has no one to share the beauty with her.
Fortunately, the incense ash fell at this time.
When the incense ash falls, it means that the mooncake is ready to eat.For a moment, Lei Zhenzi also forgot what he just asked, cheered a little, and moved towards the bunny-shaped mooncake in the middle with a pair of small hands.
Feng Ning took one at random, and just about to take a sip, she heard the rustling of the wind behind her.
She turned her head and saw that Kong Xuan and Lu Ya were already standing behind her. For some reason, the loneliness of the "orphan and widowed mother" that she felt when she came back today suddenly disappeared. She laughed and joked: " Ah, it's just in time, do you want to eat moon cakes? One with five kernels?"
Both Kong Xuan and Lu Ya's faces turned dark.
Seeing that they were silent, Feng Ning called the nanny and asked the nanny to take Lei Zhenzi out of the back garden.And Lei Zhenzi also obediently followed, Feng Ning didn't ask Lu Ya and Kong Xuan again until he could no longer see the two people, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened." Lu Ya replied: "The people of Chaoge are all sick."
Du, this word is very expressive.
At this moment, Feng Ning even thought about epidemics, plague, and smallpox.But after thinking about it, I was on the road just now, and I saw that the people were all fine, even the epidemic did not happen so fast!
"It's because of the new corn." Kong Xuan said, "When we came here just now, we saw that the common people had already collapsed on the street. Occasionally, a few of them could stand up. I got sick."
"Because they also feel that it is impossible for them to get sick overnight. What these people have in common is that they all ate the new corn you developed."
Feng Ning: ...
Who believes this?Get sick from eating corn?When this corn was developed, did it specifically target the genes of the people of the Shang Dynasty?
However, it is true.Lu Ya and Kong Xuan didn't believe it either. Among the people on the street, there were some who spoke out for Feng Ning. They didn't eat the corn, and they still felt so uncomfortable that they lay on the ground.But before they even had time to say a few words, they were already labeled as "Feng Ning's lackeys".
"Most people don't speak." Kong Xuan said: "They don't even have the strength to speak. Those people who shouted that it was your fault and said they wanted to settle accounts with you looked weak, but in fact there was nothing wrong with their bodies. Big problem. They are very skillful, they seem to have premeditated, and want to push this matter on you. When we came, they had already come in this direction, saying that they would come to your mansion and ask you for an explanation .”
Feng Ning: ...
This trick is clear, and Feng Ning also roughly knows who it is.
As soon as Lu Ya's words fell, the servant's call came from a distance: "Prime Minister, it's not good, someone is making trouble outside."
Menacing, they are all here to speak.
Kong Xuan reminded: "Do you want to go to the door to have a look?"
"No need." Feng Ning stuffed the last mooncake into his mouth: "You saw those people fell to the ground, have you seen what happened to them?"
"Yes," Kong Xuan said, "it's not sickness, it's poisoning, and it's not like the poison given by ordinary people."
"Someone must want to ruin your reputation. Would you like to go out and explain?"
Feng Ning: "There's no need to explain. Since they want to ruin my reputation, it's useless even to explain, and...the other party's purpose may not just be to ruin my reputation."
Lu Ya said that he didn't quite understand what Feng Ning was talking about.
Feng Ning raised her eyebrows: "Do you think who is messing with me this time?"
"This style..." Kong Xuan said, "It looks like Xibo Hou Jichang."
"Xibo Hou Jichang is not so ruthless, and if he can control Chaoge to such an extent, he won't let all his spies die." Feng Ning sneered: "The one who did this is more ruthless than him." There are many people in the world, and he is using the methods I taught against me."
"Believe it or not, someone will come soon."
When Feng Ning established the Prime Minister's Mansion, he recruited a lot of soldiers, all of whom could deal with the frantic people.So Feng Ning was full of trust in them, not only did not go to the front hall to see what it was, but also leisurely took two five-nut mooncakes, and distributed one to each of Lu Ya and Kong Xuan.Seeing two people frowned: "Let's wait, there will be another person coming over later."
Sure enough, when the two of them hadn't eaten half of the mooncakes, the concierge ran in again: "Prime Minister, there is a man named Shen Gongbao outside asking to see you."
"Look." Feng Ning motioned to Lu Ya and Kong Xuan: "Here we are."
Lu Ya still remembered that he was in a state of breaking with Feng Ning when he was outside, and asked with a frown, "Then do we need to hide?"
Feng Ning stopped him: "No need."
The concierge ran to the gate to ask Shen Gongbao to come in.
Lu Ya and Kong Xuan originally thought that Shen Gongbao was from Yin Jiao. After all, he had always been trusted by Yin Jiao, and he had made things difficult for Feng Ning during the court meeting.But they didn't expect that when Shen Gongbao saw Feng Ning, he made a salute: "Why don't you go out and avoid it, Prime Minister?"
After finishing speaking, he saw Lu Ya and Kong Xuan: "It's just right, Master Lu and Master Kong can help you. Don't stay in Chaoge for now. This matter was done by Yin Jiao."
Lu Ya and Kong Xuan couldn't tell which side Shen Gongbao was in.
Feng Ning asked, "Is it Yin Jiao's poison?"
"It should be," Shen Gongbao said: "Yin Jiao has already summoned all the ministers, and is going to take you directly to the court, use public opinion to force the ministers, and directly condemn and behead you in the court, so as to avoid future troubles."
Feng Ning: ...
Is this okay?
Shen Gongbao sighed: "So, the next official is about to escort you into the palace, so I'm here to send a message."
Feng Ning was particularly curious: "The courtiers are all fine? Only the common people are sick? Didn't the courtiers eat corn?"
It is impossible that the courtiers did not eat corn.
But it makes sense once you think about it.If the people got sick this time because of poisoning, and Yin Jiao wanted to frame Feng Ning, then with his character, he would always cut through the mess quickly.And only deal with Feng Ning when the common people have not slowed down.And Yin Jiao also wanted to have a good reputation among the people, after all, he had already seen his father's reckless end.Therefore, he can't deal with Feng Ning privately, but in front of the courtiers, and he can't even let others see that he wants to get rid of Feng Ning, a person who threatens his throne, but pretends to be persecuted , Feng Ning had to be executed as a last resort.
At this time, the angry people are his persecutors, and the courtiers are his helpless witnesses.
Therefore, of course the courtiers can't have any accidents.
Of course Feng Ning would not think that there was something wrong with her corn.However, she did suspect that the reason why the common people got sick was because Yin Jiao had poisoned the corn—but the suspicion was unfounded. Firstly, the rich and powerful would also eat corn. The common people's corn was poisoned, and they just skipped the dinner table of the rich and powerful?
Moreover, if poisoning the corn in every common people's house, the amount of work would be too great.
Feng Ning frowned, and didn't take what Shen Gongbao said "run away" to heart, but said: "No, I have to go to the court."
Lu Ya, Kong Xuan:? ? ?
The confusion on Lu Ya and Kong Xuan's faces was too obvious.Feng Ning acted as if she hadn't seen it at all: "Not only am I going to the court, but you also have a mission - look for it, and see if there are wells shared by the common people in Chaoge, how many wells there are in total."
The only possibility is the well.
You know, the common people import not only corn, but also water.
As for the rich and powerful, each house has a well, only the common people, they share a few wells, if one of them is poisoned, it can turn the medicine over.
Lu Ya and Kong Xuan also reacted instantly, and Kong Xuan prepared to go to the place where there is a well in the city without saying a word.
Before leaving, Feng Ning stopped Kong Xuan: "If we find the source of the poison, can we develop an antidote?"
Kong Xuan laughed: "With the poisonous water, it will be very fast."
He is a person who has carefully observed the poison in the people.
Feng Ning was not going to wait for Kong Xuan's examination results, she seemed to be determined, and said to Lu Ya: "Since Kong Xuan has already gone to see it, then, I have to ask you to arrest these people."
She handed Lu Ya a list.
Lu Ya: "...Aren't these the deep-buried spies of Ji Chang?"
"Yes, it's the spy." Feng Ning said: "Wealth and wealth are found in danger."
"I'm going into the palace right now. Didn't you guys keep saying that it's time for me to pull Yin Jiao down?" Feng Ning signaled Shen Gongbao to lead the way: "We're about to start."
"My innocence is in your hands."
"However, don't clarify too early, at least wait until I'm pushed to the Meridian Gate..."
Let me be wronged through the ages, let me be angry and resist.
If the ruler is not kind, the minister will be disloyal.
Master Lu, the rest is up to you.
She went out with Shen Gongbao.When the angry people saw her coming out, it was like the people who saw her in the daytime flocked to her.
However, they were throwing her high in celebration and joy.
And these people came to her side and spat a few mouthfuls fiercely.
Feng Ning definitely doesn't want to spit on her body!He tugged on Shen Gongbao's sleeve in front: "Stand in front of me and block me."
Shen Gongbao: ...
Shen Gongbao protected Feng Ning and got into the carriage, forced to rush away from the crowd, and ran towards the palace.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, the group of crazy "crowds" disappeared on the road, replaced by dying people lying on the side of the street.
"I really didn't expect that he would play like this." Feng Ning said disappointedly.
"Competing for the throne, that's how it is." Shen Gongbao was driving in front, and asked Feng Ning through the curtain: "Your Excellency, you really don't regret it?"
"I don't regret it." Feng Ning said: "If I ascend to the throne, then I will give Lord Shang Shu a bigger official position."
The author has something to say:
Nung, moon and new moon.It is Mr. Dongpo's words, quoted.
Everyone probably knows who the dead sister, brother-in-law and loved one are.
Even without Riwan! !
Today is also a Saturday day!
People let out an "oh" in disappointment.
However, seeing Feng Ning was enough to surprise them.Especially in their view, this year's bumper harvest was brought by Feng Ning.
After Feng Ning once again sincerely rejected the invitation of countless people to go with him, the people who joined in the fun gradually dispersed, Feng Ning turned his head again, and saw four people standing in the same place at a loss...

What wish?Is it to hope that people will last forever and share the joys and joys of thousands of miles?But even the sad person has no one to share the beauty with her.
Fortunately, the incense ash fell at this time.
When the incense ash falls, it means that the mooncake is ready to eat.For a moment, Lei Zhenzi also forgot what he just asked, cheered a little, and moved towards the bunny-shaped mooncake in the middle with a pair of small hands.
Feng Ning took one at random, and just about to take a sip, she heard the rustling of the wind behind her.
She turned her head and saw that Kong Xuan and Lu Ya were already standing behind her. For some reason, the loneliness of the "orphan and widowed mother" that she felt when she came back today suddenly disappeared. She laughed and joked: " Ah, it's just in time, do you want to eat moon cakes? One with five kernels?"
Both Kong Xuan and Lu Ya's faces turned dark.
Seeing that they were silent, Feng Ning called the nanny and asked the nanny to take Lei Zhenzi out of the back garden.And Lei Zhenzi also obediently followed, Feng Ning didn't ask Lu Ya and Kong Xuan again until he could no longer see the two people, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened." Lu Ya replied: "The people of Chaoge are all sick."
Du, this word is very expressive.
At this moment, Feng Ning even thought about epidemics, plague, and smallpox.But after thinking about it, I was on the road just now, and I saw that the people were all fine, even the epidemic did not happen so fast!
"It's because of the new corn." Kong Xuan said, "When we came here just now, we saw that the common people had already collapsed on the street. Occasionally, a few of them could stand up. I got sick."
"Because they also feel that it is impossible for them to get sick overnight. What these people have in common is that they all ate the new corn you developed."
Feng Ning: ...
Who believes this?Get sick from eating corn?When this corn was developed, did it specifically target the genes of the people of the Shang Dynasty?
However, it is true.Lu Ya and Kong Xuan didn't believe it either. Among the people on the street, there were some who spoke out for Feng Ning. They didn't eat the corn, and they still felt so uncomfortable that they lay on the ground.But before they even had time to say a few words, they were already labeled as "Feng Ning's lackeys".
"Most people don't speak." Kong Xuan said: "They don't even have the strength to speak. Those people who shouted that it was your fault and said they wanted to settle accounts with you looked weak, but in fact there was nothing wrong with their bodies. Big problem. They are very skillful, they seem to have premeditated, and want to push this matter on you. When we came, they had already come in this direction, saying that they would come to your mansion and ask you for an explanation .”
Feng Ning: ...
This trick is clear, and Feng Ning also roughly knows who it is.
As soon as Lu Ya's words fell, the servant's call came from a distance: "Prime Minister, it's not good, someone is making trouble outside."
Menacing, they are all here to speak.
Kong Xuan reminded: "Do you want to go to the door to have a look?"
"No need." Feng Ning stuffed the last mooncake into his mouth: "You saw those people fell to the ground, have you seen what happened to them?"
"Yes," Kong Xuan said, "it's not sickness, it's poisoning, and it's not like the poison given by ordinary people."
"Someone must want to ruin your reputation. Would you like to go out and explain?"
Feng Ning: "There's no need to explain. Since they want to ruin my reputation, it's useless even to explain, and...the other party's purpose may not just be to ruin my reputation."
Lu Ya said that he didn't quite understand what Feng Ning was talking about.
Feng Ning raised her eyebrows: "Do you think who is messing with me this time?"
"This style..." Kong Xuan said, "It looks like Xibo Hou Jichang."
"Xibo Hou Jichang is not so ruthless, and if he can control Chaoge to such an extent, he won't let all his spies die." Feng Ning sneered: "The one who did this is more ruthless than him." There are many people in the world, and he is using the methods I taught against me."
"Believe it or not, someone will come soon."
When Feng Ning established the Prime Minister's Mansion, he recruited a lot of soldiers, all of whom could deal with the frantic people.So Feng Ning was full of trust in them, not only did not go to the front hall to see what it was, but also leisurely took two five-nut mooncakes, and distributed one to each of Lu Ya and Kong Xuan.Seeing two people frowned: "Let's wait, there will be another person coming over later."
Sure enough, when the two of them hadn't eaten half of the mooncakes, the concierge ran in again: "Prime Minister, there is a man named Shen Gongbao outside asking to see you."
"Look." Feng Ning motioned to Lu Ya and Kong Xuan: "Here we are."
Lu Ya still remembered that he was in a state of breaking with Feng Ning when he was outside, and asked with a frown, "Then do we need to hide?"
Feng Ning stopped him: "No need."
The concierge ran to the gate to ask Shen Gongbao to come in.
Lu Ya and Kong Xuan originally thought that Shen Gongbao was from Yin Jiao. After all, he had always been trusted by Yin Jiao, and he had made things difficult for Feng Ning during the court meeting.But they didn't expect that when Shen Gongbao saw Feng Ning, he made a salute: "Why don't you go out and avoid it, Prime Minister?"
After finishing speaking, he saw Lu Ya and Kong Xuan: "It's just right, Master Lu and Master Kong can help you. Don't stay in Chaoge for now. This matter was done by Yin Jiao."
Lu Ya and Kong Xuan couldn't tell which side Shen Gongbao was in.
Feng Ning asked, "Is it Yin Jiao's poison?"
"It should be," Shen Gongbao said: "Yin Jiao has already summoned all the ministers, and is going to take you directly to the court, use public opinion to force the ministers, and directly condemn and behead you in the court, so as to avoid future troubles."
Feng Ning: ...
Is this okay?
Shen Gongbao sighed: "So, the next official is about to escort you into the palace, so I'm here to send a message."
Feng Ning was particularly curious: "The courtiers are all fine? Only the common people are sick? Didn't the courtiers eat corn?"
It is impossible that the courtiers did not eat corn.
But it makes sense once you think about it.If the people got sick this time because of poisoning, and Yin Jiao wanted to frame Feng Ning, then with his character, he would always cut through the mess quickly.And only deal with Feng Ning when the common people have not slowed down.And Yin Jiao also wanted to have a good reputation among the people, after all, he had already seen his father's reckless end.Therefore, he can't deal with Feng Ning privately, but in front of the courtiers, and he can't even let others see that he wants to get rid of Feng Ning, a person who threatens his throne, but pretends to be persecuted , Feng Ning had to be executed as a last resort.
At this time, the angry people are his persecutors, and the courtiers are his helpless witnesses.
Therefore, of course the courtiers can't have any accidents.
Of course Feng Ning would not think that there was something wrong with her corn.However, she did suspect that the reason why the common people got sick was because Yin Jiao had poisoned the corn—but the suspicion was unfounded. Firstly, the rich and powerful would also eat corn. The common people's corn was poisoned, and they just skipped the dinner table of the rich and powerful?
Moreover, if poisoning the corn in every common people's house, the amount of work would be too great.
Feng Ning frowned, and didn't take what Shen Gongbao said "run away" to heart, but said: "No, I have to go to the court."
Lu Ya, Kong Xuan:? ? ?
The confusion on Lu Ya and Kong Xuan's faces was too obvious.Feng Ning acted as if she hadn't seen it at all: "Not only am I going to the court, but you also have a mission - look for it, and see if there are wells shared by the common people in Chaoge, how many wells there are in total."
The only possibility is the well.
You know, the common people import not only corn, but also water.
As for the rich and powerful, each house has a well, only the common people, they share a few wells, if one of them is poisoned, it can turn the medicine over.
Lu Ya and Kong Xuan also reacted instantly, and Kong Xuan prepared to go to the place where there is a well in the city without saying a word.
Before leaving, Feng Ning stopped Kong Xuan: "If we find the source of the poison, can we develop an antidote?"
Kong Xuan laughed: "With the poisonous water, it will be very fast."
He is a person who has carefully observed the poison in the people.
Feng Ning was not going to wait for Kong Xuan's examination results, she seemed to be determined, and said to Lu Ya: "Since Kong Xuan has already gone to see it, then, I have to ask you to arrest these people."
She handed Lu Ya a list.
Lu Ya: "...Aren't these the deep-buried spies of Ji Chang?"
"Yes, it's the spy." Feng Ning said: "Wealth and wealth are found in danger."
"I'm going into the palace right now. Didn't you guys keep saying that it's time for me to pull Yin Jiao down?" Feng Ning signaled Shen Gongbao to lead the way: "We're about to start."
"My innocence is in your hands."
"However, don't clarify too early, at least wait until I'm pushed to the Meridian Gate..."
Let me be wronged through the ages, let me be angry and resist.
If the ruler is not kind, the minister will be disloyal.
Master Lu, the rest is up to you.
She went out with Shen Gongbao.When the angry people saw her coming out, it was like the people who saw her in the daytime flocked to her.
However, they were throwing her high in celebration and joy.
And these people came to her side and spat a few mouthfuls fiercely.
Feng Ning definitely doesn't want to spit on her body!He tugged on Shen Gongbao's sleeve in front: "Stand in front of me and block me."
Shen Gongbao: ...
Shen Gongbao protected Feng Ning and got into the carriage, forced to rush away from the crowd, and ran towards the palace.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, the group of crazy "crowds" disappeared on the road, replaced by dying people lying on the side of the street.
"I really didn't expect that he would play like this." Feng Ning said disappointedly.
"Competing for the throne, that's how it is." Shen Gongbao was driving in front, and asked Feng Ning through the curtain: "Your Excellency, you really don't regret it?"
"I don't regret it." Feng Ning said: "If I ascend to the throne, then I will give Lord Shang Shu a bigger official position."
The author has something to say:
Nung, moon and new moon.It is Mr. Dongpo's words, quoted.
Everyone probably knows who the dead sister, brother-in-law and loved one are.
Even without Riwan! !
Today is also a Saturday day!
