152 Exorcism XXV

It is said that the official is Prince Gong Wang Yi.

Prince Gong's life was full of ups and downs. He had gained great power by assisting the Empress Dowager Cixi in successfully launching the Xinyou coup, but because of his high status and fame, Cixi was uneasy, so much so that he later used every opportunity to suppress him.

In the worst time, he was not only stripped of his prince's salary, but was even dismissed from all his posts by Cixi under the pretext of "following the rules", and he and all his cronies were expelled from the military aircraft department, losing almost all power.

It wasn't until two years later, because he had regained his usable value, that he was rewarded by Cixi with the prince's double salary, and was appointed as the prime minister, the minister of the yamen, and the prime minister of the navy.

is back in power, but he is no longer the Prince Gong who was able to turn the clouds and rain with one hand.

One was old, the other was through so many ups and downs, he had already understood the purpose of Cixi's decentralization and his real situation, so although he was in a high position, he was very cautious and low-key from then on, until he met a man in the winter of 1897.

That man was Emperor Guangxu.

In 1897, Germany sent troops to occupy Jiaozhou Bay, triggering a frenzy of the Great Powers to carve up China.

Stimulated by the serious national crisis, the reform movement was rapidly gaining momentum. Kang Youwei wrote to Emperor Guangxu, pointing out that the situation is imminent, and if the law is not changed, not only will the country and the people be in danger, but the emperor will not be able to do it if he wants to be the common people. These words made Emperor Guangxu meet with Kang Youwei and was willing to fully support him and let him comprehensively plan to change the law.

Subsequently, Guangxu quietly met with Prince Gong, and while analyzing the current domestic situation with him, he took advantage of his old and Cixi's open and secret suspicions, hoping to use the power in his hands to assist in his own changes.

After some careful consideration, Prince Gong agreed to Guangxu's proposal.

This period of history is not mentioned in the history books, so I don't know if it's true or not.

However, it is true that Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao represented the Wuxu Reform Law; it is true that Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao initiated the establishment of the National Protection Association in Beijing; and it is also true that Emperor Guangxu promulgated the edict of "Ming Dingguo is."

It's just that this change, in the end, was died in a very tragic way in history.

Before the Wuxu change, Prince Gong had a premonition that Cixi would never be aware of any rumors, let alone sit idly by, so he tried to strike first, and he proposed that Tan Sitong come forward to discuss with Yuan Shikai, the new right attendant of the Ministry of Works, hoping to use the strength of his new army to join forces with Prince Gong to besiege the Summer Palace where the Empress Dowager Cixi lived, and assist Guangxu in seizing power.

Yuan Shikai was ostensibly loyal to Guangxu and agreed to Tan Sitong's suggestion, but as soon as he turned around, he relayed the news to Rong Lu, which led to the failure of the Wuxu Reform, Guangxu was placed under house arrest, and the six gentlemen were killed.

According to the history books, Prince Gong died of illness a month before the Wuxu Reform.

But according to the legend of Wentou Village, the prince left Beijing overnight when he heard that the change had been known to Cixi and that he would take measures.

He knew that with the power in his hands and the position he had already picked, Cixi would definitely not let him go, so he found a stand-in to stay in the palace and 'die of illness', one to make Cixi lose her guard, and the other to keep her family safe, while he himself disguised himself and disguised himself and fled all the way to remote areas.

fled into Wentou Village, in this small, far away place of the Tiangao Emperor, and lived peacefully for nearly two years.

But just when he thought that Cixi, who had stopped the Wuxu Reform and put Guangxu under house arrest in Yingtai, and now had no worries at all, should completely forget about him after his 'death', the people sent by Cixi to find his whereabouts had quietly descended to his residence, killed all the cronies he had brought with him, and trapped him in his residence.

He who is dead will still let him die. Prince Gong knew that these people's trip was bound to make him die a good death.

He was unwilling to accept his fate.

The dignified iron hat king, who has practiced martial arts since he was a child, has excellent kung fu, so he has lasted a long time alone.

But after all, his fists were difficult to beat, and all of the people he faced were all Ouchi masters, so after being surrounded for a day and a night, even if he was unwilling, he still had to give up resistance.

But he was not willing to die, so he asked those people from the palace to bring a message to Cixi, saying that as long as she did not move him, he would not move her.

Cixi naturally didn't pay attention to this kind of desperate poor man's words, and only said lightly, he was also the brother of the first emperor, and he was rewarded for keeping a whole corpse, and he would have an explanation below.

As a result, a generation of iron hat kings, Prince Yi of Heshuo Gong, in the legend of Wentou Village, died so miserably in Wentou Village that it was not even marked on the map.

And because of the words he said before he died, he was subjected to the torture of 'rain pouring plum blossoms'.

In order to make him unable to see, nose, and mouth after death, leaving a whole corpse in vain, even if he saw the ancestors of the Aixin Jueluo family underground, he couldn't say a word about his death, let alone come back from the underworld to find trouble with Cixi.

But later, I don't know what happened, on the night after Prince Gong died in that torture, those Ouchi masters who were supposed to return to the capital the next day suddenly died without warning at the door of Prince Gong's residence.

More than a dozen people, straight and straight, lined up from the front of his house to the intersection, neatly arranged, like the honor guard of the palace back then.

There were no scars on their bodies, only their faces were purple and their eyes were furious, and they, like Prince Gong, died of suffocation.

After that, I don't know if Cixi got the news, in short, no one in the capital has ever come to Wentou Village again.

Only the dozen or so masters who were suffocated to death were left behind, and together with the body of Prince Gong, they were thrown into the Well of Hades by the terrified villagers.

It was waiting for the resentment of these corpses to be swallowed by the Hades Well.

But that night, the whole village heard a very strange sound coming from the well.

It's like a wild beast gnawing at bones, and Karakala is so clear that it makes people feel creepy.

This is really frightening and curious, for so many years, there has never been any sound in the well, what is this sound all about?

But no matter how curious they were, no one dared to approach the Well of Hades at night to see what was making that noise.

It wasn't until the next day that groups of bold people arrived at the well, pushed open a crack in the stone cover of the well, and looked inside.

This sight can frighten people to the point where they see the well full of torn flesh and smashed bones.

And Prince Gong, who had long since died, climbed on the stone wall of the Hades Well like an ape, and as soon as he saw the light, he immediately jumped and flew out of the well.

Fortunately, I had a flexible brain, and I was not carried away by fear, and I saw that something was wrong at a glance, and immediately instinctively pushed the manhole cover back into its original position, and I felt that the moment Prince Gong's body rushed out collided with the manhole cover, the ground trembled violently like an earthquake.

After that day, there were strange noises coming from the well of Hades, sometimes like the wind, sometimes like the roar of wild beasts, and sometimes like rolling thunder. And the land around the well, a mile square, I don't know if it is because of the decay of those corpses, there is always a foul smell, even if you burn wormwood all day to smoke, you can't cover it.

While this stench was annoying, it also brought plague.

Just like in order to steal food during natural disasters, people brought out a deadly curse from the well of Hades.

The plague killed many people in the village.

When the people in the village felt that they could no longer stay in this place, a group of eunuchs suddenly came from the capital, surrounded by an old monk in a golden robe, chanting scriptures and burning incense in the Hades Well against the stench.

It is said that the old monk was very magical, and he never drank a sip of water or ate anything for seven days and seven nights in a row.

On the seventh day, it rained heavily in Wentou Village.

After the rain, the stench that had been wafting for months on the well of Hades disappeared cleanly.

Even the strange sounds that came from time to time at the bottom of the well disappeared.

At midnight that day, at the junction of the eighth day, the old monk asked the people of Wentou Village to wrap a piece of swaddling clothes that the eunuchs had brought from the capital wrapped in bright yellow silk, remove a crack in the manhole cover, and throw it into the well.

Then he instructed the villagers to wait for 7749 days before the well could be fully opened.

There is nothing else to do, just take out the piece of yellow silk and the body of the prince and bury them in a small ancestral hall that he has asked the villagers to build in the past seven days.

After finishing speaking, the old monk, who was already too weak to walk, was carried out of Wentou Village by those eunuchs.

The villagers were skeptical of the old monk's words, but the silence of Yama Wangjing made it impossible for them to ignore his words. So seventy-seven and forty-nine days later, they had the courage to dig the well of Hades.

What shocked them was that when they opened the well, they saw that the bottom of the well, which was originally full of flesh and bones, was clean at a glance.

Only the old monk was lying quietly at the bottom of the well when he was reciting the scriptures, and in the middle lay a shriveled corpse like dry bones, he was lying on the swaddling cloth and the rune paper candle, his face was covered with a thick yellow table paper, and his hands were folded on his chest.

His hands were covered with the yellow silk that had been used to wrap something.

It was completely out of sight, like the flesh and bones that had vanished cleanly.

All that was left was this piece of yellow silk.

Seeing this, the villagers trembled and carried the corpse out of the Hades Well with the piece of yellow silk, and then, according to the old monk's explanation, put on the corpse in a black robe and horse coat that he had worn for a long time, and then put on black socks.

The only thing I don't understand is that a big man asked him to wear a pair of bright red birthday shoes.

But since it was the old monk's confession, he couldn't care so much, and only did what he said, in front of the newly built small ancestral hall called Jingkong Hall, a fire burned his body to ashes, and then wrapped the ashes with that piece of yellow silk, so simply, buried him in the ground in the middle of the ancestral hall.

Since then, the history that I don't know whether it's true or not, the prince who doesn't know whether it's true or not, gradually faded into the memories of the people in this village with his ashes buried in the ground.

Only some old people will tell a few words like a story after dinner.

And the listeners often laugh and never take it seriously, after all, there is an orthodox history, and anyone who has gone to school, who will believe this kind of crooked history that the gods and gods chatter.

His tablet still stands in the ancestral hall.

But the name is not written on the tablet, so if my aunt doesn't say it, I don't know that the tablet is a dead man's tablet.

I always thought it was a land temple.

And what the aunt wants to use to deal with Ms. Du's resentment is this tablet.

At the same time, it is also the ghost who haunts Liu Liqing, and the only righteous tablet left in the world.
