Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]
Chapter 52 Begonia Chunyan
"The minister complies with the decree." After receiving the order token, the mighty Marquis was overjoyed.
What does it mean to search anywhere?Doesn't this clearly tell him that even the Prince Wei's mansion, he can still check it out?
The Queen Mother, an old woman, suppressed the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion for half his life, which caused him to retreat again and again. He didn't even have the right to lead the army, so he could only stay in the capital.When this opportunity comes, he must press her down.
The emperor ordered the received evidence to be handed over to Marquis Weiwu. Marquis Weiwu flipped through it, and immediately widened his eyes with excitement. Unexpectedly, King Wei would be so bold as to set up a melting furnace in his own house to refurbish the official silver. Impatient!
However, after seeing the evidence, the mighty Marquis also understood that there was no one who reported it. It was clearly found out by the emperor himself, falsely claiming it was a secret book.That's good, he can let go to do it, as long as he follows the above, he will be sure to catch one!
This is entirely the merit given to him by the emperor.
As long as he cuts off the hands of some people during this period, he can get the credit alone.
Glancing at the queen mother, the mighty Marquis grinned, and then bowed to the emperor: "The minister will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's expectations!"
The queen mother collapsed on the seat, it's over, the mighty Marquis is declaring war on her, the queen mother swept the people below again, and those who were leaning against her before, dodged when they met her gaze.
The queen mother cursed inwardly, a group of sloppy and unreliable white-eyed wolves.
After thinking about it, now only the chess piece of Buddhism is still used by her. The Queen Mother rushed back to Ningshou Palace as soon as she came to court. She just wanted to send someone to Tantuo Temple to pass the news, and the next moment the Habayashi Army surrounded Ningshou Palace .
The queen mother trembled angrily, her chest rose and fell vigorously, "What does the emperor want to do? Could it be that he wants to put Aijia under house arrest?"
Jiang Lin cupped his hands and bowed, "The empress dowager misunderstood." Then he took a step back and said, "His majesty's order, the empress dowager is furious because of King Wei's rebellion, she feels unwell, and she is closed to the palace for self-cultivation."
The queen mother was startled, and waved her hand abruptly, "Ai's family is not sick, the emperor wants to put Ai's family under house arrest, he is not filial!"
Jiang Lin grinned, "The empress dowager must have forgotten that your position as empress dowager is still sealed by your majesty."
The empress dowager's eyes were about to burst, "Lu Fang, a yellow-mouthed kid, if Ai's family hadn't spoken well of him in front of the late emperor, how would he have come to be where he is today?"
Jiang Lin looked at the Empress Dowager with a cold face, then stepped aside, revealing the familiar face of the Empress Dowager.
When the queen mother saw it, she gritted her teeth with hatred, "Mother Zhu, Aijia treats you well, why did you betray Aijia?"
Zhu Mama looked calm, "I don't want to, it's just that my family is in His Majesty's hands, and my grandson is only one year old now. Didn't you also praise him for being smart, Queen Mother? So I can only make you feel wronged." gone."
"You!" The Empress Dowager did not expect the nanny beside her to say such words!
Jiang Lin cupped his hands at Mammy Zhu, "The queen mother is seriously ill, please take good care of her."
Madam Zhu nodded slightly, "Yes, the slave will take care of the Empress Dowager personally."
"Queen Mother, please!" Jiang Lin stretched out his hand to the Queen Mother.
Grandma Zhu wanted to go over to help her, but the Queen Mother snorted coldly, avoided her hand, raised her head high, and said: "You don't need to pretend to be kind, Aijia will leave on her own."
As soon as people entered, the gate of Ningshou Palace was closed, and the entire Ningshou Palace was surrounded by a circle on the third floor and the outer three floors. The guards must be strict to ensure that no fly escapes.
The Empress Dowager looked at the strange maids and eunuchs in the palace, snorted coldly and went to the small Buddhist hall without saying a word.
The Small Buddha Hall is the place where the Empress Dowager usually recites scriptures. Everyone in Ningshou Palace knows that it is forbidden to disturb the Empress Dowager when she enters the Small Buddha Hall.
The queen mother stepped over the threshold of the small Buddhist hall, stopped and turned her head, "Mother Zhu, Aijia wants to chant scriptures, do you still have to follow Aijia?" Her tone was not in a hurry, as if she was usually superior .
However, Nanny Zhu followed the Queen Mother all the way from the harem to fight when she was young, so she didn't know that the Queen Mother had murderous intentions at this time. In the past, when her former master wanted to touch someone, she used this flat tone.
Although Madam Zhu betrayed the queen mother, her fear of the queen mother was innately implanted deep in her heart, so when she heard the queen mother beat her in this tone, she immediately stopped, took a deep breath, and silently backed away.
The queen mother saw that Zhu mama was guarding the door, so she accepted it as soon as she was ready. She still underestimated the emperor, and the two of them just held her down and couldn't move.
The previous court used Weiwuhou, and Weiwuhou was incompatible with her, and would never let her get in. The harem used Zhu Nanny, who had served her for half her life and knew everything about her actions. Basically, she raised her eyes, Zhu Mammy knew what she was going to do.
What could have been called heartfelt means used here can now be called disaster.
The Empress Dowager was unmoved, and it was not that she had no back-hands.
This Buddhist hall is not only a place for worshiping Buddha, but more often it can be used to turn things around.
The Empress Dowager lit a stick of incense with Buddha's words in her mouth. The next moment she flicked her finger, a small piece of paper fell into the brazier in front of her, and it was burned in the blink of an eye.
Because she was covered by the empress dowager, Nanny Zhu did not see this scene. The empress dowager closed her eyes and smiled.
She had spread the news, and when rumors spread in the capital that the emperor had imprisoned the empress dowager, she wanted to see how the emperor would react!
Tan Tuo Temple.
Recently, the atmosphere in Tantuo Temple is a bit depressing, especially the younger generation who don't understand why the elders and high-level officials do those stupid things.
Xuanbei is a monk. The monks in Tantuo Temple are of the same seniority. He has practiced for 30 years, and only one chanting sutra is good enough. Fortunately, he has a senior brother Xuannan who is the abbot as a backer. The chanting room can be regarded as a comfortable life.
Today, he was still doing his homework in the chanting room by knocking on the wooden fish. In front of him was the statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva. Below was a brazier with flames flying. Copied scriptures.
A large temple like Tantuo Temple has hundreds of Buddhist scriptures enshrined every day, all of which were written by young monks who have not yet been identified.After the homework is assigned, it will be reviewed by the disciples of the senior generation. If the writing is not good, it will be sent back to do it again. Only those with neat handwriting will be picked out to worship the Buddha.
Xuanbei also picks ten volumes every day, not fixed, there are all kinds of scriptures, he doesn't pick them, and burning them to the Bodhisattva can be regarded as a change of taste for the Bodhisattva, so as not to be like the dead monk in Xuanshang who always picks the same volume of scriptures The text is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and I am not afraid that the Bodhisattva will always collect a kind of scriptures.
But today is destined to be different, the flame in the brazier suddenly expanded, Xuanbei looked over and saw a few ashes floating out of the brazier, slowly condensing together, and merged into a piece of paper slowly floating out of the fire.
The sound of knocking on the wooden fish stopped, Xuanbei stared at the scene with wide eyes, then quickly grabbed the note and rushed out of the door.
"Brother Abbot, something serious happened!"
Abbot Xuannan is discussing with the elders of the Discipline Academy how to appease the turmoil of the juniors. He knows that the juniors have been hit during this period, but if they don't get through this period of pain, Buddhism will usher in a more miserable future.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother..." Xuanbei rushed in.
Abbot Xuannan frowned, seeing the panic-stricken appearance of his younger brother, he asked the elder dean to step down first, "I will leave the rest of the matter to you, my nephew. Recently, our temple should not act rashly, and keep a low profile if you can." , The disciples who went out for alms also temporarily stopped."
"Yes." The elder of the precepts agreed and withdrew, before leaving, he didn't forget to call Xuan Bei his uncle.
The abbot Xuannan sat cross-legged beside the short case, tidied up the ledgers on the case, and asked Xuanbei, "Junior brother, why are you so flustered?"
Xuanbei sat cross-legged next to his senior brother, opened his palms, revealing the note in his palm.
Abbot Xuannan saw something special about this piece of paper at a glance, "This is not..."
Xuanbei quickly said, "It's the Gala paper, the Gala paper handed to the Queen Mother by the elder brother."
Although the Jialuo paper has a paper character, it is not real paper. This is a Buddhist secret, which can be used to send messages in fire.
Abbot Xuannan also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately unfolded the note. He touched the note with his finger, and a line of words appeared on it immediately.
After reading it, Master Xuannan was speechless, and Xuanbei, who also saw the handwriting on the side, asked: "Brother, do we really want to do what the Queen Mother said? I have offended His Majesty by pretending to be stupid before, and now I want to help the Queen Mother. Buddhism can't get away."
Abbot Xuannan squeezed the toilet paper, and the Galo paper immediately turned into ashes. The abbot bounced to the ground, knocked on Xuanbei's bright forehead and said, "What can you help? I remember we didn't see this piece of paper today, do you understand?"
Xuanbei's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
Abbot Xuannan nodded in satisfaction, but he remembered the previous meeting held by the upper echelons of Buddhism. His Buddhism was held too high by the queen mother, as if sitting on a brazier. Seeing that the emperor was about to sharpen his sword and slapped pigs and sheep, they still couldn't find him. To the law of breaking the game.
But when they received the Queen Mother's summons to fight against Mrs. Shen, Fomen's eyes lit up and thought of a way to break the situation. They really think they are mentally retarded and idiots who insist on going against Mrs. Shen?
Isn't this handing the knife to the emperor?
Although Buddhism's reputation has been severely damaged at the moment, its strength has not been damaged at all, and it can always survive with its tail between its legs.
You must know that Buddhism was not a vegetarian when it was first introduced to China. At that time, their Buddhism was more cruel than Taoism, but at first they were not acclimatized to the environment and were excluded by Taoism and other folk religions. Later, after several successive emperors, Buddhism has finally been fully realized, discarding inappropriate theories, combining Persian Manichaeism, Brahmanism and Jainism, absorbing Taoism and folk religions to form Buddhism with unique characteristics.
This Buddhism is quite different from the original Buddhism. It has become a blade in the hands of the monarch. If it is not in harmony, it will be dismembered by the monarch. Then the remaining Buddhism will absorb the lesson again and grow slowly until it becomes the blade of the monarch. .
But now that the Buddhism is expanding again, people in the upper class know that this emperor can no longer sit back and watch the Buddhism grow, but Buddhism is dragged forward by the Queen Mother, and it is impossible to show weakness.
Previously, he had finally pretended to be a fool and confronted Mrs. Shen, and his reputation suddenly plummeted, but the bigger the drop, the happier behind the Buddhist gate.If the reputation is low, the emperor will not be jealous. When Taoism rises again, the emperor will definitely support Buddhism to fight against Taoism again.
And the original support from the Queen Mother is not what Buddhism needs at all. The most feared thing in Buddhism is to stand out. Whether it is fame, wealth or land, as long as it exceeds a certain limit, it will usher in the emperor's butcher's knife. Can't you still learn the lesson?
As for helping the empress dowager against the emperor?
Xuannan abbot chuckled, they wished the emperor would forget about Buddhism, how could they be against the emperor at this time?
The Queen Mother still doesn't know that Buddhism has abandoned her. In her opinion, she has given Buddhism a lot of honor and favor. The world knows that Buddhism is one with her, so there is no reason why Buddhism should not help her.
However, she forgot that Buddhism has always been dragged into the boat by her. Maybe she has heard too much, and even she is convinced that she and Buddhism are one.
The Empress Dowager planned strategies and waited in Ningshou Palace, waiting for the emperor to compromise and let her go out.
And the mighty Marquis who was sent by the emperor to investigate the case of King Wei's robbery of silver has already sharpened his sword and turned to the ruthless lamb of King Wei's mansion.
Without the presence of King Wei, without prior arrangements, wouldn't the undefended King Wei's Mansion be a shivering lamb in the eyes of Marquis Wu?
Marquis Wei Wu sent people to surround Wei Wang's mansion before, and the people he brought were all selected from the army.Although the emperor called the prime minister of the third division, Marquis Mighty Wu did not allow the third division to send people to participate. Only the chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Procuratorate were allowed to accompany, and other officials were not allowed to intervene.
Even if the third division protested, Mighty Marquis had a reason. The emperor only said that the third division was reasonable in the case. As for the search for evidence of stolen goods, he and his brothers worked hard to do it for them.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple had no objection, they just protested according to the usual practice, and quickly took a step back, but the right governor of the Inspectorate, Yushi, obviously had a strange expression.
Marquis Mighty Wu took a meaningful look at the right governor, which made the right governor censor sweat on his forehead.
Could it be that Lord Hou noticed something?But didn't he do nothing?Thinking of Zuo Du Yushi who pretended to be sick, You Du Yushi hated himself for being slow in his chess move, and thought that he had received many gifts from the King of Wei on weekdays. I am afraid that I have fallen into the hands of King Wei.
In the past, seeing King Wei was like the God of Wealth, but now he hates the God of Plague. If he knew that the gift he was receiving was money, he would not dare to accept three more heads from him.
Wei Wuhou didn't care about the right governor and Yushi anymore, because he had the inside information, he led people directly into Wei Wang's mansion.
It's not that Wei Wangfu didn't stop him, but knowing that Marquis Wuwu was ordered by the emperor, no matter how daring he was, he didn't dare to stop him.
The housekeeper knew about the bad things going on in the palace, so he hurried to find Princess Wei when he saw something happened.
Concubine Wei just married King Wei not long ago, and the situation in the palace has not yet been figured out. She is not aware of what King Wei has done before.
"Housekeeper, tell me the truth, what did King Wei do?" Princess Wei is from the Duke's mansion, so she naturally knows that if there is no evidence, it is impossible for the emperor to send people to surround Wei Wang's mansion.
The butler looked around, and thought that even if he didn't say anything, Princess Wei would know about it when the mighty Marquis searched and found out, so he let go and said, "My lord, my lord was ignorant when he was young, and he was greedy for a sum of money."
Princess Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "How much is there, the palace will make up for it." Since she is young, how much money can she covet?
In her opinion, King Wei is the empress dowager's son. Even if he made a big mistake, how could the emperor kill him so that the empress dowager would lose her son in old age?
But the housekeeper dropped a bomb and said, "But it was the imperial government's relief money from the flood of the Yellow River the year before last."
Princess Wei was so frightened that her face turned pale. She still remembered that when she was a young lady who had just reached her age the year before last, she was taken by her grandfather to see those victims who were forced into exile, and even served porridge with her own hands.At that time, it was heard that these people went into exile because of the loss of a sum of relief money. She also felt very sympathetic, but the culprit turned out to be her husband who was known as a gentleman.
This completely made Princess Wei unacceptable.
"Princess, what should I do now?" the housekeeper asked impatiently.
Princess Wei rolled her eyes, "Don't call me princess, King Wei is not a gentleman, I am ashamed to be husband and wife with him." Thinking that King Wei has a different face in front of her, Princess Wei felt chilled, such a cruel person , how dare she be husband and wife with him?
"Come here!" Princess Wei called out.
"The slaves are here." The four servant girls beside the princess said immediately.
Princess Wei said with a cold face, "Fill out my dowry and bring it back to the duke's mansion."
"Yes!"
The housekeeper was anxious, "Princess, you can't, if you leave at this time, the prince will be really hopeless!"
"Housekeeper, I learned the way of a sage when I was in the Duke's Mansion. I can't agree with what your prince has done. Even if he survives this time safely, I will make peace with him!" Princess Wei said righteously.
After all, King Wei's ship was about to capsize, and the princess didn't cultivate a deep relationship with him. In addition, there were many Yingyingyanyans in the palace, and the princess didn't put her heart on him, so naturally they flew separately when the disaster was imminent.
The butler suddenly felt dizzy.
While the housekeeper was still arguing with Princess Wei, Marquis Mighty had dug out the underground furnace set up by King Wei, along with 20 taels of silver that had not been refurbished, and the remaining 10,000 taels of silver that had been refurbished. + two silver.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sighed, "I remember that the one who disappeared was 300 million taels of relief money, right? Now that's all there is left!"
Marquis Weiwu ordered the people borrowed from the Ministry of Households to check the unrefurbished official bank.
After inspecting the unrefurbished silver, the two chiefs of the household department reported to Marquis Weiwu, "It is the silver minted in the second year of Yonghe." The bottom of the official silver minted every year in the past dynasties was marked. The reason why King Wei wanted to renovate this Even if the money is taken out, no one dares to take it.
Marquis Weiwu didn't show any expression on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart, "Come here, take all this dirty silver out."
After finishing these tasks, Marquis Mighty returned to the palace in a hurry to return to his command. The 300 million taels of silver left less than 40 taels. There is a big problem here. How many people are here to share the cake? Being able to bring out many people, the mighty Marquis really wants to know how His Majesty will deal with it, and also hopes that the Emperor will continue to let him investigate.
But the emperor did not mention the matter, and said, "The king of Wei gave the gift, and others don't know that it is dirty money. How can they be treated as accomplices. As long as these people return the money, they will forget the past."
Originally wanted to help King Wei get rid of some crimes, but the people who saved King Wei suddenly cheered up. Your Majesty is really wise, but that’s not the reason. How did they know that King Wei robbed the relief money, and that bastard gave the money in a sinister way? them, drag them into the water.If it wasn't for the fear of dragging them out, who would protect him?
At this time, the emperor said that the past should not be blamed, and this group of people must be the first to agree to kill Wei Wang.
For a while, everyone raised money, and some who really couldn't remember the account just made up a whole sum and sent it to the household department. For a while, the household department was full of people coming and going.
There is the scolding mother who only got a few hundred taels of silver, "This is his mother Xipi. I drink flowers, cough, and drink, but I was sponsored by the king of Wei for 300 taels of silver. I don't know if it is dirty money. Don't worry, this one Brother, I’ll give you 1000 taels, what? I’ve given you too much? The rest can’t be treated as interest?”
Those who got inspiration from this little official squeezed back and said loudly: "Oh, my colleague, I remembered wrongly just now, no, it's not that the money was too much, I remembered that King Wei also gave me two beauties." The maidservants may also be purchased with relief silver, which should be 500 taels when converted into silver." The officer took out three banknotes and slapped them on the table, "A total of 600 taels, and 100 taels is the interest for the past two years." To the emperor There are not many opportunities to send money.
Others also reacted one after another, competing to increase the price one by one, making their faces flushed, and those who didn't know thought something happened here!
Those who have money take out money, and those who don’t have money borrow money. It is really impossible to run home to get money.
This is what Marquis Weiwu saw when he came out of the palace. He asked Jiang Lin, "These are all favored by King Wei?" Are there hundreds of people going back and forth?
Jiang Lin was ordered to come here to maintain order in the household department this time, but he didn't think about how these people became so crazy.
Mighty Marquis didn't wait for Jiang Lin to open his mouth, so he clicked his tongue and said, "What does King Wei want to do? Recruit so many young talents?" All of them were young officials from the Yonghe period who had just entered the court, and these belonged to the emperor's direct servants.
Jiang Lin rolled his eyes at him, and didn't need to say what he wanted to do.As soon as these people came out, everyone knew that King Wei was Sima Zhaozhi. Everyone knew that he was a gentleman in the past and loved to make friends.
Aren't these befriended ones rich and famous?
Jiang Lin pointed to a hidden house next to it, "That's where the big head is." All the things sent began with the word "Wan".
The big officials were a bit jealous at first, fearing that this time it was a trap, but when they saw so many small officials coming out, these people were immediately happy, what do you mean by not blaming the public?This is.
One by one hurriedly counted the money, of course these people would not come to return it in person, nor would they reveal themselves, so they sent a servant to bring the money, without saying who it was.
The household department doesn't ask when they receive the money, they are only responsible for collecting the money, as for who the other party is, it's not their responsibility!
In just three days, more and more people returned the money, and the amount received by the household department had already exceeded 300 million taels.
The Minister of the Household Department asked the emperor, and the emperor replied, "The extra money is used to set up nursing homes and sales offices in various places, which can be regarded as your kindness."
"Your Majesty is wise." Hubu Shangshu shouted immediately.
The repayment of the money has been carried out one after another for half a year. After all, there are still many officials who have left Beijing, and the news is relatively late, which leads to the return of the money late. return.
The Empress Dowager thought that those who shared the money would take Wei Wang out, but she had an account book in her hand, which recorded in detail the investments made by Wei Wang over the years.If these people don't get King Wei out, don't blame her for exposing the account book without mercy, and everyone will die together.
However, the queen mother didn't know that the emperor had announced such an order, which was completely drastic and ended the threat.
The repayment of the silver was not only a repayment of the silver, but also cut off the last retreat of King Wei. Those who returned the silver only explained one thing. They were determined to draw a line with King Wei, and even to clear themselves. People will turn around and attack Wei Wang.
Only the dead king of Wei can realize hello, hello, hello everyone.
This is also the decision made by the emperor after receiving the ledger given by Shen Luo. There are really too many people involved with the king of Wei.
The emperor can only press it down temporarily, and the moths in it can only be dealt with later.
When Shen Luo returned to the palace, the case of King Wei had come to light, and Marquis Wu Wu went directly into the paddock to capture King Wei.
Then those princes were also invited back to the palace and continued to be confined.
Shen Luo and the concubines returned to the harem, only to find that the harem had been turned upside down in just a few days. As soon as they returned to the palace, He Xu warned everyone, "The queen mother was so angry and sick because of King Wei's treason. Ningshou Palace is for her health, so everyone in the harem should not disturb her old man."
The other concubines had an epiphany, which meant that the queen mother had failed in this struggle and was placed under house arrest. The emperor asked everyone to understand and not to mess with her.
The concubines who relied on the Queen Mother turned pale, and the rest of the concubines couldn't help being happy. Do they really think they are willing to flatter an old woman?She is neither His Majesty's aunt nor His Majesty's biological mother, but a late emperor's concubine, surpassing others to become Queen Mother, does she really think she is superior to others?
There are also those who have been trained by the queen mother, such as Concubine Xian, and Mrs. Wan, who has been taught several times by the empress dowager, who are very happy. If they can, these people would like to go to Ningshou Palace to mock them in person.
With the Empress Dowager as the object of ridicule, Shen Luo naturally did not hinder the eyes of these women.He Xu quietly gestured to Shen Luo, and Shen Luo nodded clearly. She understood, didn't she just tell her to leave quickly?
Shen Luo turned around and walked towards his own palace, while He Xu was dumbfounded, ouch, my lady, Qianqing Palace is not in that direction!
When Shen Luo was pulled back by He Xu, she was a little silly, "What does Your Majesty want from me?"
He Xu said flatteringly: "Your Majesty has been thinking about your empress all the time, and has been busy with the case of King Wei these days. You will invite your empress back as soon as the case comes to a conclusion..."
This He Xu talked a lot of nonsense, Shen Luo's eyes were dull, thinking about whether she should find a way to escape the golden cicada and leave the palace after getting back the golden cicada Gu, she is not a real mortal and wants to stay in the palace all the time.
And King Ning, the emperor promised her that he would help her get rid of it, or should she leave after this matter is over?
By the way, she almost forgot about the dragon veins, but Long Ling had told her to find out.
And Qing He, she has to arrange her well, Shen Hanqing has been worried about Qing He's previous fate, and she is also to blame, when time and space turned, she accidentally let her see Qing He's future.
After all the calculations, there are really a lot of things to do, and these have to be arranged properly before you can leave with confidence.
"Ma'am, are you listening?" He Xu waved in front of Shen Luo.
Shen Luo came back to his senses, "I'm listening, isn't the emperor waiting for me? Okay, let's go!" He Xu is good at everything, but he likes to promote the emperor in front of her. I really think she doesn't know about him. Be careful?
But it is impossible for her to be with the emperor, she will not be with a mortal, let alone an emperor who owns the Sangong and Liuyuan!
How can people of different races fall in love?What's more, she is still a beautiful crabapple flower!
Once everything is over, she can pat her butt and be free!
It's really troublesome in the mortal world, if you accidentally get infected with karma.While worrying, Shen Luo followed He Xu into the gate of Qianqing.
After entering Qianqing Palace, He Xu led her to Dongci Room before retreating.
Shen Luo walked in alone, Dongcijian was the place where the emperor usually dealt with memorials, and occasionally received ministers. A few beautiful maids stood in front of the pillar, and when they saw Shen Luo walking over, they blessed their lower body.
The emperor was scribbling on the memorial, when he heard the movement, he raised his head, and when he saw Shen Luo approaching, he waved.
Shen Luo walked to his side and saluted, without looking at the memorial on the table, she said directly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, stretch out your hand, and I'll take a pulse to see how the poison in your body is absorbed."
The emperor smiled and said, "Why are you more anxious than me?" Even so, he still stretched out his hand.
Shen Luo took the pulse for him, and seeing that the golden cicada Gu was still strong, he said happily: "Your Majesty, congratulations, the residual poison in your body is almost cleared up, and I will take out the Gu for you at night."
The emperor was clearly prepared, and looked at Shen Luo, "That's really beautiful, I'm looking forward to it." When he recovered, he was naturally looking forward to the intercourse.
The emperor wanted to be a real husband and wife with her.
Shen Luo avoided his gaze, and said again: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what I told you about the destruction of the dragon's veins?"
The emperor nodded, "Of course I still remember."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the dragon veins will soon be unable to hold on. I beg your majesty to take me to the land of the dragon veins."
The emperor obviously didn't want Shen Luo to leave at this time, "Could it be that no one from Taoism and Buddhism can solve this problem?"
Shen Luo shook his head, "An accident with your majesty's dragon veins will affect the fate of the country, and the dragon energy on your body was seriously injured before, and it has been a few days to recover slowly. It must be that something happened to the dragon veins." Relying on the emperor, nothing will happen. Understood, she blurted out.
The emperor knew the situation was critical as soon as he heard it, so he could only agree to her, "The dragon's veins are in the ancestor's tomb, and this place can only be entered by the descendants of the Lu family." The only ones who entered into the Destruction Dragon Vessel were my brothers, I never thought that these people would be so mad and want to ruin the Lu family's national fortune!" Without the Lu family, they are nothing!
Shen Luo didn't know how to comfort the emperor.
That night, Shen Luo drew out the golden cicada Gu from the emperor's body. As soon as the golden cicada came out of the emperor's body, it rushed towards the aura of Shen Luo's fingertips. After absorbing it, it shrank into a ball, and Shen Luo took it back into the jade box.
On the second day, the emperor sent Shen Luo to the imperial mausoleum, avoiding the people who guarded the mausoleum. As an emperor, he didn't do whatever he wanted.
In addition, the people who guarded the mausoleum did not respond to such a big incident in the dragon veins, and the emperor was sincerely disappointed with them, and he did not want to see them.
After watching Shen Luo enter the imperial mausoleum, the emperor returned to the capital. The imperial mausoleum is not far from the capital, and it only takes half a day to ride a horse. Basically, if you go out in the morning, you can go back in the evening.
Because the case of King Wei has come to an end, the trial will be held tomorrow, and the Queen Mother has to be released at such a moment, so the emperor also feels a little heavy pressure on his shoulders.
Besides, Shen Luo, as soon as Shen Luo entered the imperial mausoleum, she knew that the dragon veins were hard to find. The dragon veins were discarded by the dragon spirit, and now they are trapped again. Of course, she didn't notice it. Fortunately, she had the map given by the emperor, and the journey was safe and sound. I skipped a lot of organs before arriving at the place marked on the map.
As soon as he got close, Shen Luo found someone inside.
There were quite a few people, there were four of them. These people were all sitting on the ground wearing Taoist robes, but there were large runes drawn on the robes. This is not the custom of Taoism in the Central Plains.
Shen Luo didn't recognize where these people were from. She sensed that although these people had good magic power, they were not her opponents, so Shen Luo put an invisibility talisman on herself, and walked out generously.
This is a large hall with ever-burning lamps lit inside, and lifelike dragons are embossed on the top of the hall.
It's just that the dragon's body is now stuck in the back with a white blade, and a line of blood and tears flowed out from the tightly closed dragon's eyes.
Shen Luo knew that this was the transformed body of the dragon vein, but it was turned into a stone sculpture after being abandoned by the dragon spirit. She sensed that the dragon vein still had breath, but it was relatively weak, as if it was completely asleep. It's just a shell discarded by the spirit.
When she turned around to look at those Taoist priests again, Shen Luo couldn't understand. It stands to reason that these people's abilities are no match for Long Ling. Why did Long Ling run away?
If it was an ordinary dragon spirit that had just been born, Shen Luo still believed that it would be invincible, but who is the dragon spirit, the dragon spirit that existed in its own dynasty, she did not believe that it had no backers.
Could it be that this guy was tired of being bored, so he took the opportunity to get away?
This idea suddenly popped into Shen Luo's head, and then she shook the idea, and then turned around to look at the four people.
The four sat in four directions, Shen Luo saw an oil lamp floating above the heads of the four, and the name of the formation immediately appeared in her mind.
"Four elephants covering the sky!"
This is a formation used to deceive the Heavenly Dao. After it is cast, this world will avoid the detection of the Heavenly Dao. Everything that happens here will not attract the attention of the outside world.
Shen Luo came to a sudden, no wonder so many high-ranking people in the capital didn't notice the signs of the dragon's pulse and the weakening of the national fortune.
As long as the dragon veins are still there, even if he is dying, under this formation, everything will behave normally to the outside world.
If Shen Luo hadn't been instructed by Long Ling, he might not have known that something really happened to Longmai.
Moreover, the Four Elephants Covering the Sky Formation has been improved. Shen Luo looked at the four oil lamps floating in the air, she practiced and sniffed them, and when she smelled a bloody smell, there was a trace of disgust on her face.
Dare to use human blood as lamp oil to light the lamp. This is to pollute the dragon veins. As long as the dragon veins are infested with human blood for a long time, the dragon veins are good and will not harm life. When they come into contact with human blood, they will slowly die and dissipate. Shen Luo couldn't stand it!
Shen Luo took out the talisman, trying to take advantage of these people's actions to restrain them, but what they said next made her change her mind.
"Junior Brother Zhang, it seems that the blood is not enough." Among the four, a Taoist priest with a thin face slowly opened his eyes, glanced up, and then spoke to the left.
The junior brother Zhang on his left looked better than him, but his face was a little pale because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. Always avoid taboos while doing things.”
The other two also accepted their efforts at this time, and echoed: "It's not attractive to draw some blood every month. At most, it's just a little body. It's a pity that these are not princes, and the power of blood is not so strong."
"That's not because the emperor has no children. According to me, the blood from the emperor's body was lost by mistake in the paddock last time. If there is the emperor's blood, the progress will be faster, and we don't need to spend all the time in this ghost place. Knowing what the white scales on the emperor's body are, they are invulnerable."
"Looks like a spiritual weapon!" Someone coveted, if it is really a spiritual weapon, it will save your life.
"No, no, it's a magic weapon, but it has the effect of automatic body protection."
"That's fine, as long as the dragon veins are killed, the emperor will not be long, but I want this magic weapon, so don't snatch it from me."
"Okay, here you are, as long as you can solve the problem of scarce blood..."
Several people had another verbal battle on this issue, and Shen Luo couldn't help yawning, but at this moment, a person appeared in one of the people's mouths, which made Shen Luo suddenly regain his spirits.
Shen Luo got a big news, but there was nothing on the emperor's side.
On the second day, in the morning court, the princes and dukes who seldom go to court on weekdays dared to come over in court uniforms, making the mighty Marquis who was standing in the front retreat again and again, and finally fell behind a dozen people.
But when he saw these old ancestors who usually lived at home, the mighty Marquis wished he could retreat outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
He is also in his forties, what does it mean to be called Xiao Liangzi by these old men?
Hey, you bastard Wu Fang, don't think Benhou didn't see you sniggering!
As soon as the emperor came to court, the British Duke Li Da couldn't wait to come out.
"Your Majesty, I implore the Emperor to allow my daughter to make peace with the King of Wei!"
This is completely a bomb, which detonated the court in an instant.
What does it mean to search anywhere?Doesn't this clearly tell him that even the Prince Wei's mansion, he can still check it out?
The Queen Mother, an old woman, suppressed the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion for half his life, which caused him to retreat again and again. He didn't even have the right to lead the army, so he could only stay in the capital.When this opportunity comes, he must press her down.
The emperor ordered the received evidence to be handed over to Marquis Weiwu. Marquis Weiwu flipped through it, and immediately widened his eyes with excitement. Unexpectedly, King Wei would be so bold as to set up a melting furnace in his own house to refurbish the official silver. Impatient!
However, after seeing the evidence, the mighty Marquis also understood that there was no one who reported it. It was clearly found out by the emperor himself, falsely claiming it was a secret book.That's good, he can let go to do it, as long as he follows the above, he will be sure to catch one!
This is entirely the merit given to him by the emperor.
As long as he cuts off the hands of some people during this period, he can get the credit alone.
Glancing at the queen mother, the mighty Marquis grinned, and then bowed to the emperor: "The minister will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's expectations!"
The queen mother collapsed on the seat, it's over, the mighty Marquis is declaring war on her, the queen mother swept the people below again, and those who were leaning against her before, dodged when they met her gaze.
The queen mother cursed inwardly, a group of sloppy and unreliable white-eyed wolves.
After thinking about it, now only the chess piece of Buddhism is still used by her. The Queen Mother rushed back to Ningshou Palace as soon as she came to court. She just wanted to send someone to Tantuo Temple to pass the news, and the next moment the Habayashi Army surrounded Ningshou Palace .
The queen mother trembled angrily, her chest rose and fell vigorously, "What does the emperor want to do? Could it be that he wants to put Aijia under house arrest?"
Jiang Lin cupped his hands and bowed, "The empress dowager misunderstood." Then he took a step back and said, "His majesty's order, the empress dowager is furious because of King Wei's rebellion, she feels unwell, and she is closed to the palace for self-cultivation."
The queen mother was startled, and waved her hand abruptly, "Ai's family is not sick, the emperor wants to put Ai's family under house arrest, he is not filial!"
Jiang Lin grinned, "The empress dowager must have forgotten that your position as empress dowager is still sealed by your majesty."
The empress dowager's eyes were about to burst, "Lu Fang, a yellow-mouthed kid, if Ai's family hadn't spoken well of him in front of the late emperor, how would he have come to be where he is today?"
Jiang Lin looked at the Empress Dowager with a cold face, then stepped aside, revealing the familiar face of the Empress Dowager.
When the queen mother saw it, she gritted her teeth with hatred, "Mother Zhu, Aijia treats you well, why did you betray Aijia?"
Zhu Mama looked calm, "I don't want to, it's just that my family is in His Majesty's hands, and my grandson is only one year old now. Didn't you also praise him for being smart, Queen Mother? So I can only make you feel wronged." gone."
"You!" The Empress Dowager did not expect the nanny beside her to say such words!
Jiang Lin cupped his hands at Mammy Zhu, "The queen mother is seriously ill, please take good care of her."
Madam Zhu nodded slightly, "Yes, the slave will take care of the Empress Dowager personally."
"Queen Mother, please!" Jiang Lin stretched out his hand to the Queen Mother.
Grandma Zhu wanted to go over to help her, but the Queen Mother snorted coldly, avoided her hand, raised her head high, and said: "You don't need to pretend to be kind, Aijia will leave on her own."
As soon as people entered, the gate of Ningshou Palace was closed, and the entire Ningshou Palace was surrounded by a circle on the third floor and the outer three floors. The guards must be strict to ensure that no fly escapes.
The Empress Dowager looked at the strange maids and eunuchs in the palace, snorted coldly and went to the small Buddhist hall without saying a word.
The Small Buddha Hall is the place where the Empress Dowager usually recites scriptures. Everyone in Ningshou Palace knows that it is forbidden to disturb the Empress Dowager when she enters the Small Buddha Hall.
The queen mother stepped over the threshold of the small Buddhist hall, stopped and turned her head, "Mother Zhu, Aijia wants to chant scriptures, do you still have to follow Aijia?" Her tone was not in a hurry, as if she was usually superior .
However, Nanny Zhu followed the Queen Mother all the way from the harem to fight when she was young, so she didn't know that the Queen Mother had murderous intentions at this time. In the past, when her former master wanted to touch someone, she used this flat tone.
Although Madam Zhu betrayed the queen mother, her fear of the queen mother was innately implanted deep in her heart, so when she heard the queen mother beat her in this tone, she immediately stopped, took a deep breath, and silently backed away.
The queen mother saw that Zhu mama was guarding the door, so she accepted it as soon as she was ready. She still underestimated the emperor, and the two of them just held her down and couldn't move.
The previous court used Weiwuhou, and Weiwuhou was incompatible with her, and would never let her get in. The harem used Zhu Nanny, who had served her for half her life and knew everything about her actions. Basically, she raised her eyes, Zhu Mammy knew what she was going to do.
What could have been called heartfelt means used here can now be called disaster.
The Empress Dowager was unmoved, and it was not that she had no back-hands.
This Buddhist hall is not only a place for worshiping Buddha, but more often it can be used to turn things around.
The Empress Dowager lit a stick of incense with Buddha's words in her mouth. The next moment she flicked her finger, a small piece of paper fell into the brazier in front of her, and it was burned in the blink of an eye.
Because she was covered by the empress dowager, Nanny Zhu did not see this scene. The empress dowager closed her eyes and smiled.
She had spread the news, and when rumors spread in the capital that the emperor had imprisoned the empress dowager, she wanted to see how the emperor would react!
Tan Tuo Temple.
Recently, the atmosphere in Tantuo Temple is a bit depressing, especially the younger generation who don't understand why the elders and high-level officials do those stupid things.
Xuanbei is a monk. The monks in Tantuo Temple are of the same seniority. He has practiced for 30 years, and only one chanting sutra is good enough. Fortunately, he has a senior brother Xuannan who is the abbot as a backer. The chanting room can be regarded as a comfortable life.
Today, he was still doing his homework in the chanting room by knocking on the wooden fish. In front of him was the statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva. Below was a brazier with flames flying. Copied scriptures.
A large temple like Tantuo Temple has hundreds of Buddhist scriptures enshrined every day, all of which were written by young monks who have not yet been identified.After the homework is assigned, it will be reviewed by the disciples of the senior generation. If the writing is not good, it will be sent back to do it again. Only those with neat handwriting will be picked out to worship the Buddha.
Xuanbei also picks ten volumes every day, not fixed, there are all kinds of scriptures, he doesn't pick them, and burning them to the Bodhisattva can be regarded as a change of taste for the Bodhisattva, so as not to be like the dead monk in Xuanshang who always picks the same volume of scriptures The text is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and I am not afraid that the Bodhisattva will always collect a kind of scriptures.
But today is destined to be different, the flame in the brazier suddenly expanded, Xuanbei looked over and saw a few ashes floating out of the brazier, slowly condensing together, and merged into a piece of paper slowly floating out of the fire.
The sound of knocking on the wooden fish stopped, Xuanbei stared at the scene with wide eyes, then quickly grabbed the note and rushed out of the door.
"Brother Abbot, something serious happened!"
Abbot Xuannan is discussing with the elders of the Discipline Academy how to appease the turmoil of the juniors. He knows that the juniors have been hit during this period, but if they don't get through this period of pain, Buddhism will usher in a more miserable future.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother..." Xuanbei rushed in.
Abbot Xuannan frowned, seeing the panic-stricken appearance of his younger brother, he asked the elder dean to step down first, "I will leave the rest of the matter to you, my nephew. Recently, our temple should not act rashly, and keep a low profile if you can." , The disciples who went out for alms also temporarily stopped."
"Yes." The elder of the precepts agreed and withdrew, before leaving, he didn't forget to call Xuan Bei his uncle.
The abbot Xuannan sat cross-legged beside the short case, tidied up the ledgers on the case, and asked Xuanbei, "Junior brother, why are you so flustered?"
Xuanbei sat cross-legged next to his senior brother, opened his palms, revealing the note in his palm.
Abbot Xuannan saw something special about this piece of paper at a glance, "This is not..."
Xuanbei quickly said, "It's the Gala paper, the Gala paper handed to the Queen Mother by the elder brother."
Although the Jialuo paper has a paper character, it is not real paper. This is a Buddhist secret, which can be used to send messages in fire.
Abbot Xuannan also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately unfolded the note. He touched the note with his finger, and a line of words appeared on it immediately.
After reading it, Master Xuannan was speechless, and Xuanbei, who also saw the handwriting on the side, asked: "Brother, do we really want to do what the Queen Mother said? I have offended His Majesty by pretending to be stupid before, and now I want to help the Queen Mother. Buddhism can't get away."
Abbot Xuannan squeezed the toilet paper, and the Galo paper immediately turned into ashes. The abbot bounced to the ground, knocked on Xuanbei's bright forehead and said, "What can you help? I remember we didn't see this piece of paper today, do you understand?"
Xuanbei's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
Abbot Xuannan nodded in satisfaction, but he remembered the previous meeting held by the upper echelons of Buddhism. His Buddhism was held too high by the queen mother, as if sitting on a brazier. Seeing that the emperor was about to sharpen his sword and slapped pigs and sheep, they still couldn't find him. To the law of breaking the game.
But when they received the Queen Mother's summons to fight against Mrs. Shen, Fomen's eyes lit up and thought of a way to break the situation. They really think they are mentally retarded and idiots who insist on going against Mrs. Shen?
Isn't this handing the knife to the emperor?
Although Buddhism's reputation has been severely damaged at the moment, its strength has not been damaged at all, and it can always survive with its tail between its legs.
You must know that Buddhism was not a vegetarian when it was first introduced to China. At that time, their Buddhism was more cruel than Taoism, but at first they were not acclimatized to the environment and were excluded by Taoism and other folk religions. Later, after several successive emperors, Buddhism has finally been fully realized, discarding inappropriate theories, combining Persian Manichaeism, Brahmanism and Jainism, absorbing Taoism and folk religions to form Buddhism with unique characteristics.
This Buddhism is quite different from the original Buddhism. It has become a blade in the hands of the monarch. If it is not in harmony, it will be dismembered by the monarch. Then the remaining Buddhism will absorb the lesson again and grow slowly until it becomes the blade of the monarch. .
But now that the Buddhism is expanding again, people in the upper class know that this emperor can no longer sit back and watch the Buddhism grow, but Buddhism is dragged forward by the Queen Mother, and it is impossible to show weakness.
Previously, he had finally pretended to be a fool and confronted Mrs. Shen, and his reputation suddenly plummeted, but the bigger the drop, the happier behind the Buddhist gate.If the reputation is low, the emperor will not be jealous. When Taoism rises again, the emperor will definitely support Buddhism to fight against Taoism again.
And the original support from the Queen Mother is not what Buddhism needs at all. The most feared thing in Buddhism is to stand out. Whether it is fame, wealth or land, as long as it exceeds a certain limit, it will usher in the emperor's butcher's knife. Can't you still learn the lesson?
As for helping the empress dowager against the emperor?
Xuannan abbot chuckled, they wished the emperor would forget about Buddhism, how could they be against the emperor at this time?
The Queen Mother still doesn't know that Buddhism has abandoned her. In her opinion, she has given Buddhism a lot of honor and favor. The world knows that Buddhism is one with her, so there is no reason why Buddhism should not help her.
However, she forgot that Buddhism has always been dragged into the boat by her. Maybe she has heard too much, and even she is convinced that she and Buddhism are one.
The Empress Dowager planned strategies and waited in Ningshou Palace, waiting for the emperor to compromise and let her go out.
And the mighty Marquis who was sent by the emperor to investigate the case of King Wei's robbery of silver has already sharpened his sword and turned to the ruthless lamb of King Wei's mansion.
Without the presence of King Wei, without prior arrangements, wouldn't the undefended King Wei's Mansion be a shivering lamb in the eyes of Marquis Wu?
Marquis Wei Wu sent people to surround Wei Wang's mansion before, and the people he brought were all selected from the army.Although the emperor called the prime minister of the third division, Marquis Mighty Wu did not allow the third division to send people to participate. Only the chief officials of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Procuratorate were allowed to accompany, and other officials were not allowed to intervene.
Even if the third division protested, Mighty Marquis had a reason. The emperor only said that the third division was reasonable in the case. As for the search for evidence of stolen goods, he and his brothers worked hard to do it for them.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple had no objection, they just protested according to the usual practice, and quickly took a step back, but the right governor of the Inspectorate, Yushi, obviously had a strange expression.
Marquis Mighty Wu took a meaningful look at the right governor, which made the right governor censor sweat on his forehead.
Could it be that Lord Hou noticed something?But didn't he do nothing?Thinking of Zuo Du Yushi who pretended to be sick, You Du Yushi hated himself for being slow in his chess move, and thought that he had received many gifts from the King of Wei on weekdays. I am afraid that I have fallen into the hands of King Wei.
In the past, seeing King Wei was like the God of Wealth, but now he hates the God of Plague. If he knew that the gift he was receiving was money, he would not dare to accept three more heads from him.
Wei Wuhou didn't care about the right governor and Yushi anymore, because he had the inside information, he led people directly into Wei Wang's mansion.
It's not that Wei Wangfu didn't stop him, but knowing that Marquis Wuwu was ordered by the emperor, no matter how daring he was, he didn't dare to stop him.
The housekeeper knew about the bad things going on in the palace, so he hurried to find Princess Wei when he saw something happened.
Concubine Wei just married King Wei not long ago, and the situation in the palace has not yet been figured out. She is not aware of what King Wei has done before.
"Housekeeper, tell me the truth, what did King Wei do?" Princess Wei is from the Duke's mansion, so she naturally knows that if there is no evidence, it is impossible for the emperor to send people to surround Wei Wang's mansion.
The butler looked around, and thought that even if he didn't say anything, Princess Wei would know about it when the mighty Marquis searched and found out, so he let go and said, "My lord, my lord was ignorant when he was young, and he was greedy for a sum of money."
Princess Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "How much is there, the palace will make up for it." Since she is young, how much money can she covet?
In her opinion, King Wei is the empress dowager's son. Even if he made a big mistake, how could the emperor kill him so that the empress dowager would lose her son in old age?
But the housekeeper dropped a bomb and said, "But it was the imperial government's relief money from the flood of the Yellow River the year before last."
Princess Wei was so frightened that her face turned pale. She still remembered that when she was a young lady who had just reached her age the year before last, she was taken by her grandfather to see those victims who were forced into exile, and even served porridge with her own hands.At that time, it was heard that these people went into exile because of the loss of a sum of relief money. She also felt very sympathetic, but the culprit turned out to be her husband who was known as a gentleman.
This completely made Princess Wei unacceptable.
"Princess, what should I do now?" the housekeeper asked impatiently.
Princess Wei rolled her eyes, "Don't call me princess, King Wei is not a gentleman, I am ashamed to be husband and wife with him." Thinking that King Wei has a different face in front of her, Princess Wei felt chilled, such a cruel person , how dare she be husband and wife with him?
"Come here!" Princess Wei called out.
"The slaves are here." The four servant girls beside the princess said immediately.
Princess Wei said with a cold face, "Fill out my dowry and bring it back to the duke's mansion."
"Yes!"
The housekeeper was anxious, "Princess, you can't, if you leave at this time, the prince will be really hopeless!"
"Housekeeper, I learned the way of a sage when I was in the Duke's Mansion. I can't agree with what your prince has done. Even if he survives this time safely, I will make peace with him!" Princess Wei said righteously.
After all, King Wei's ship was about to capsize, and the princess didn't cultivate a deep relationship with him. In addition, there were many Yingyingyanyans in the palace, and the princess didn't put her heart on him, so naturally they flew separately when the disaster was imminent.
The butler suddenly felt dizzy.
While the housekeeper was still arguing with Princess Wei, Marquis Mighty had dug out the underground furnace set up by King Wei, along with 20 taels of silver that had not been refurbished, and the remaining 10,000 taels of silver that had been refurbished. + two silver.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sighed, "I remember that the one who disappeared was 300 million taels of relief money, right? Now that's all there is left!"
Marquis Weiwu ordered the people borrowed from the Ministry of Households to check the unrefurbished official bank.
After inspecting the unrefurbished silver, the two chiefs of the household department reported to Marquis Weiwu, "It is the silver minted in the second year of Yonghe." The bottom of the official silver minted every year in the past dynasties was marked. The reason why King Wei wanted to renovate this Even if the money is taken out, no one dares to take it.
Marquis Weiwu didn't show any expression on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart, "Come here, take all this dirty silver out."
After finishing these tasks, Marquis Mighty returned to the palace in a hurry to return to his command. The 300 million taels of silver left less than 40 taels. There is a big problem here. How many people are here to share the cake? Being able to bring out many people, the mighty Marquis really wants to know how His Majesty will deal with it, and also hopes that the Emperor will continue to let him investigate.
But the emperor did not mention the matter, and said, "The king of Wei gave the gift, and others don't know that it is dirty money. How can they be treated as accomplices. As long as these people return the money, they will forget the past."
Originally wanted to help King Wei get rid of some crimes, but the people who saved King Wei suddenly cheered up. Your Majesty is really wise, but that’s not the reason. How did they know that King Wei robbed the relief money, and that bastard gave the money in a sinister way? them, drag them into the water.If it wasn't for the fear of dragging them out, who would protect him?
At this time, the emperor said that the past should not be blamed, and this group of people must be the first to agree to kill Wei Wang.
For a while, everyone raised money, and some who really couldn't remember the account just made up a whole sum and sent it to the household department. For a while, the household department was full of people coming and going.
There is the scolding mother who only got a few hundred taels of silver, "This is his mother Xipi. I drink flowers, cough, and drink, but I was sponsored by the king of Wei for 300 taels of silver. I don't know if it is dirty money. Don't worry, this one Brother, I’ll give you 1000 taels, what? I’ve given you too much? The rest can’t be treated as interest?”
Those who got inspiration from this little official squeezed back and said loudly: "Oh, my colleague, I remembered wrongly just now, no, it's not that the money was too much, I remembered that King Wei also gave me two beauties." The maidservants may also be purchased with relief silver, which should be 500 taels when converted into silver." The officer took out three banknotes and slapped them on the table, "A total of 600 taels, and 100 taels is the interest for the past two years." To the emperor There are not many opportunities to send money.
Others also reacted one after another, competing to increase the price one by one, making their faces flushed, and those who didn't know thought something happened here!
Those who have money take out money, and those who don’t have money borrow money. It is really impossible to run home to get money.
This is what Marquis Weiwu saw when he came out of the palace. He asked Jiang Lin, "These are all favored by King Wei?" Are there hundreds of people going back and forth?
Jiang Lin was ordered to come here to maintain order in the household department this time, but he didn't think about how these people became so crazy.
Mighty Marquis didn't wait for Jiang Lin to open his mouth, so he clicked his tongue and said, "What does King Wei want to do? Recruit so many young talents?" All of them were young officials from the Yonghe period who had just entered the court, and these belonged to the emperor's direct servants.
Jiang Lin rolled his eyes at him, and didn't need to say what he wanted to do.As soon as these people came out, everyone knew that King Wei was Sima Zhaozhi. Everyone knew that he was a gentleman in the past and loved to make friends.
Aren't these befriended ones rich and famous?
Jiang Lin pointed to a hidden house next to it, "That's where the big head is." All the things sent began with the word "Wan".
The big officials were a bit jealous at first, fearing that this time it was a trap, but when they saw so many small officials coming out, these people were immediately happy, what do you mean by not blaming the public?This is.
One by one hurriedly counted the money, of course these people would not come to return it in person, nor would they reveal themselves, so they sent a servant to bring the money, without saying who it was.
The household department doesn't ask when they receive the money, they are only responsible for collecting the money, as for who the other party is, it's not their responsibility!
In just three days, more and more people returned the money, and the amount received by the household department had already exceeded 300 million taels.
The Minister of the Household Department asked the emperor, and the emperor replied, "The extra money is used to set up nursing homes and sales offices in various places, which can be regarded as your kindness."
"Your Majesty is wise." Hubu Shangshu shouted immediately.
The repayment of the money has been carried out one after another for half a year. After all, there are still many officials who have left Beijing, and the news is relatively late, which leads to the return of the money late. return.
The Empress Dowager thought that those who shared the money would take Wei Wang out, but she had an account book in her hand, which recorded in detail the investments made by Wei Wang over the years.If these people don't get King Wei out, don't blame her for exposing the account book without mercy, and everyone will die together.
However, the queen mother didn't know that the emperor had announced such an order, which was completely drastic and ended the threat.
The repayment of the silver was not only a repayment of the silver, but also cut off the last retreat of King Wei. Those who returned the silver only explained one thing. They were determined to draw a line with King Wei, and even to clear themselves. People will turn around and attack Wei Wang.
Only the dead king of Wei can realize hello, hello, hello everyone.
This is also the decision made by the emperor after receiving the ledger given by Shen Luo. There are really too many people involved with the king of Wei.
The emperor can only press it down temporarily, and the moths in it can only be dealt with later.
When Shen Luo returned to the palace, the case of King Wei had come to light, and Marquis Wu Wu went directly into the paddock to capture King Wei.
Then those princes were also invited back to the palace and continued to be confined.
Shen Luo and the concubines returned to the harem, only to find that the harem had been turned upside down in just a few days. As soon as they returned to the palace, He Xu warned everyone, "The queen mother was so angry and sick because of King Wei's treason. Ningshou Palace is for her health, so everyone in the harem should not disturb her old man."
The other concubines had an epiphany, which meant that the queen mother had failed in this struggle and was placed under house arrest. The emperor asked everyone to understand and not to mess with her.
The concubines who relied on the Queen Mother turned pale, and the rest of the concubines couldn't help being happy. Do they really think they are willing to flatter an old woman?She is neither His Majesty's aunt nor His Majesty's biological mother, but a late emperor's concubine, surpassing others to become Queen Mother, does she really think she is superior to others?
There are also those who have been trained by the queen mother, such as Concubine Xian, and Mrs. Wan, who has been taught several times by the empress dowager, who are very happy. If they can, these people would like to go to Ningshou Palace to mock them in person.
With the Empress Dowager as the object of ridicule, Shen Luo naturally did not hinder the eyes of these women.He Xu quietly gestured to Shen Luo, and Shen Luo nodded clearly. She understood, didn't she just tell her to leave quickly?
Shen Luo turned around and walked towards his own palace, while He Xu was dumbfounded, ouch, my lady, Qianqing Palace is not in that direction!
When Shen Luo was pulled back by He Xu, she was a little silly, "What does Your Majesty want from me?"
He Xu said flatteringly: "Your Majesty has been thinking about your empress all the time, and has been busy with the case of King Wei these days. You will invite your empress back as soon as the case comes to a conclusion..."
This He Xu talked a lot of nonsense, Shen Luo's eyes were dull, thinking about whether she should find a way to escape the golden cicada and leave the palace after getting back the golden cicada Gu, she is not a real mortal and wants to stay in the palace all the time.
And King Ning, the emperor promised her that he would help her get rid of it, or should she leave after this matter is over?
By the way, she almost forgot about the dragon veins, but Long Ling had told her to find out.
And Qing He, she has to arrange her well, Shen Hanqing has been worried about Qing He's previous fate, and she is also to blame, when time and space turned, she accidentally let her see Qing He's future.
After all the calculations, there are really a lot of things to do, and these have to be arranged properly before you can leave with confidence.
"Ma'am, are you listening?" He Xu waved in front of Shen Luo.
Shen Luo came back to his senses, "I'm listening, isn't the emperor waiting for me? Okay, let's go!" He Xu is good at everything, but he likes to promote the emperor in front of her. I really think she doesn't know about him. Be careful?
But it is impossible for her to be with the emperor, she will not be with a mortal, let alone an emperor who owns the Sangong and Liuyuan!
How can people of different races fall in love?What's more, she is still a beautiful crabapple flower!
Once everything is over, she can pat her butt and be free!
It's really troublesome in the mortal world, if you accidentally get infected with karma.While worrying, Shen Luo followed He Xu into the gate of Qianqing.
After entering Qianqing Palace, He Xu led her to Dongci Room before retreating.
Shen Luo walked in alone, Dongcijian was the place where the emperor usually dealt with memorials, and occasionally received ministers. A few beautiful maids stood in front of the pillar, and when they saw Shen Luo walking over, they blessed their lower body.
The emperor was scribbling on the memorial, when he heard the movement, he raised his head, and when he saw Shen Luo approaching, he waved.
Shen Luo walked to his side and saluted, without looking at the memorial on the table, she said directly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, stretch out your hand, and I'll take a pulse to see how the poison in your body is absorbed."
The emperor smiled and said, "Why are you more anxious than me?" Even so, he still stretched out his hand.
Shen Luo took the pulse for him, and seeing that the golden cicada Gu was still strong, he said happily: "Your Majesty, congratulations, the residual poison in your body is almost cleared up, and I will take out the Gu for you at night."
The emperor was clearly prepared, and looked at Shen Luo, "That's really beautiful, I'm looking forward to it." When he recovered, he was naturally looking forward to the intercourse.
The emperor wanted to be a real husband and wife with her.
Shen Luo avoided his gaze, and said again: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what I told you about the destruction of the dragon's veins?"
The emperor nodded, "Of course I still remember."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the dragon veins will soon be unable to hold on. I beg your majesty to take me to the land of the dragon veins."
The emperor obviously didn't want Shen Luo to leave at this time, "Could it be that no one from Taoism and Buddhism can solve this problem?"
Shen Luo shook his head, "An accident with your majesty's dragon veins will affect the fate of the country, and the dragon energy on your body was seriously injured before, and it has been a few days to recover slowly. It must be that something happened to the dragon veins." Relying on the emperor, nothing will happen. Understood, she blurted out.
The emperor knew the situation was critical as soon as he heard it, so he could only agree to her, "The dragon's veins are in the ancestor's tomb, and this place can only be entered by the descendants of the Lu family." The only ones who entered into the Destruction Dragon Vessel were my brothers, I never thought that these people would be so mad and want to ruin the Lu family's national fortune!" Without the Lu family, they are nothing!
Shen Luo didn't know how to comfort the emperor.
That night, Shen Luo drew out the golden cicada Gu from the emperor's body. As soon as the golden cicada came out of the emperor's body, it rushed towards the aura of Shen Luo's fingertips. After absorbing it, it shrank into a ball, and Shen Luo took it back into the jade box.
On the second day, the emperor sent Shen Luo to the imperial mausoleum, avoiding the people who guarded the mausoleum. As an emperor, he didn't do whatever he wanted.
In addition, the people who guarded the mausoleum did not respond to such a big incident in the dragon veins, and the emperor was sincerely disappointed with them, and he did not want to see them.
After watching Shen Luo enter the imperial mausoleum, the emperor returned to the capital. The imperial mausoleum is not far from the capital, and it only takes half a day to ride a horse. Basically, if you go out in the morning, you can go back in the evening.
Because the case of King Wei has come to an end, the trial will be held tomorrow, and the Queen Mother has to be released at such a moment, so the emperor also feels a little heavy pressure on his shoulders.
Besides, Shen Luo, as soon as Shen Luo entered the imperial mausoleum, she knew that the dragon veins were hard to find. The dragon veins were discarded by the dragon spirit, and now they are trapped again. Of course, she didn't notice it. Fortunately, she had the map given by the emperor, and the journey was safe and sound. I skipped a lot of organs before arriving at the place marked on the map.
As soon as he got close, Shen Luo found someone inside.
There were quite a few people, there were four of them. These people were all sitting on the ground wearing Taoist robes, but there were large runes drawn on the robes. This is not the custom of Taoism in the Central Plains.
Shen Luo didn't recognize where these people were from. She sensed that although these people had good magic power, they were not her opponents, so Shen Luo put an invisibility talisman on herself, and walked out generously.
This is a large hall with ever-burning lamps lit inside, and lifelike dragons are embossed on the top of the hall.
It's just that the dragon's body is now stuck in the back with a white blade, and a line of blood and tears flowed out from the tightly closed dragon's eyes.
Shen Luo knew that this was the transformed body of the dragon vein, but it was turned into a stone sculpture after being abandoned by the dragon spirit. She sensed that the dragon vein still had breath, but it was relatively weak, as if it was completely asleep. It's just a shell discarded by the spirit.
When she turned around to look at those Taoist priests again, Shen Luo couldn't understand. It stands to reason that these people's abilities are no match for Long Ling. Why did Long Ling run away?
If it was an ordinary dragon spirit that had just been born, Shen Luo still believed that it would be invincible, but who is the dragon spirit, the dragon spirit that existed in its own dynasty, she did not believe that it had no backers.
Could it be that this guy was tired of being bored, so he took the opportunity to get away?
This idea suddenly popped into Shen Luo's head, and then she shook the idea, and then turned around to look at the four people.
The four sat in four directions, Shen Luo saw an oil lamp floating above the heads of the four, and the name of the formation immediately appeared in her mind.
"Four elephants covering the sky!"
This is a formation used to deceive the Heavenly Dao. After it is cast, this world will avoid the detection of the Heavenly Dao. Everything that happens here will not attract the attention of the outside world.
Shen Luo came to a sudden, no wonder so many high-ranking people in the capital didn't notice the signs of the dragon's pulse and the weakening of the national fortune.
As long as the dragon veins are still there, even if he is dying, under this formation, everything will behave normally to the outside world.
If Shen Luo hadn't been instructed by Long Ling, he might not have known that something really happened to Longmai.
Moreover, the Four Elephants Covering the Sky Formation has been improved. Shen Luo looked at the four oil lamps floating in the air, she practiced and sniffed them, and when she smelled a bloody smell, there was a trace of disgust on her face.
Dare to use human blood as lamp oil to light the lamp. This is to pollute the dragon veins. As long as the dragon veins are infested with human blood for a long time, the dragon veins are good and will not harm life. When they come into contact with human blood, they will slowly die and dissipate. Shen Luo couldn't stand it!
Shen Luo took out the talisman, trying to take advantage of these people's actions to restrain them, but what they said next made her change her mind.
"Junior Brother Zhang, it seems that the blood is not enough." Among the four, a Taoist priest with a thin face slowly opened his eyes, glanced up, and then spoke to the left.
The junior brother Zhang on his left looked better than him, but his face was a little pale because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. Always avoid taboos while doing things.”
The other two also accepted their efforts at this time, and echoed: "It's not attractive to draw some blood every month. At most, it's just a little body. It's a pity that these are not princes, and the power of blood is not so strong."
"That's not because the emperor has no children. According to me, the blood from the emperor's body was lost by mistake in the paddock last time. If there is the emperor's blood, the progress will be faster, and we don't need to spend all the time in this ghost place. Knowing what the white scales on the emperor's body are, they are invulnerable."
"Looks like a spiritual weapon!" Someone coveted, if it is really a spiritual weapon, it will save your life.
"No, no, it's a magic weapon, but it has the effect of automatic body protection."
"That's fine, as long as the dragon veins are killed, the emperor will not be long, but I want this magic weapon, so don't snatch it from me."
"Okay, here you are, as long as you can solve the problem of scarce blood..."
Several people had another verbal battle on this issue, and Shen Luo couldn't help yawning, but at this moment, a person appeared in one of the people's mouths, which made Shen Luo suddenly regain his spirits.
Shen Luo got a big news, but there was nothing on the emperor's side.
On the second day, in the morning court, the princes and dukes who seldom go to court on weekdays dared to come over in court uniforms, making the mighty Marquis who was standing in the front retreat again and again, and finally fell behind a dozen people.
But when he saw these old ancestors who usually lived at home, the mighty Marquis wished he could retreat outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
He is also in his forties, what does it mean to be called Xiao Liangzi by these old men?
Hey, you bastard Wu Fang, don't think Benhou didn't see you sniggering!
As soon as the emperor came to court, the British Duke Li Da couldn't wait to come out.
"Your Majesty, I implore the Emperor to allow my daughter to make peace with the King of Wei!"
This is completely a bomb, which detonated the court in an instant.
