In the city of Yingdu, you can see everywhere that for the knighthood ceremony, they began to wear red and hang colors, decorate various streets and buildings, and are busy.

Lao Wanzhu leaned on crutches, watched those soldiers drape the rare red silk on the door of his shop, and shouted at him: "I have shown me these red silks, if there is any loss, I will kill you!"

"No, my lord!" Lao Wan bowed his head.

"Humph!"

stared at Bu Yin's hexagram stall.

The commander of the government army wanted to step forward again and shout, but Bu Qiyin just raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said with copper teeth: "Ben Yin, I will give you a free divination today for you, and within three days, you will have to worry about your life." ”

When he said this, the little commander turned pale: "Bu Yin save me!"

"Did you steal the money of those fallen soldiers?" Bu Yin's gaze fell on the bulging money bag around his waist.

"Yes, how does Lord Bu Yin know?!"

The Archon was shocked.

Not only him, but many people took it.

Many people died in this war, and naturally many people made war money.

"Then I can't save your life, the Eastern Emperor is angry, and malaria will come to you and those people. Bu Yin waved away the dirty hand that he was asking for help in disgust, and ruthlessly announced: "It will befall all the Chu people!"

As if to confirm the prophecy that Bu Yin said.

It's mid-October.

Several winter rains hit the largest capital in the south one after another, and the heavy rain was like a cage, easily encapsulating the entire Jingnan heaven and earth, like a cage, and Yingdu suddenly fell into the biggest cold snap in history.

The wind is out of tune, and the rain is not smooth.

Naturally, it is not a good thing for the state of Chu.

The huge cold snap gave birth to various post-war livelihood problems in the country, which broke out one after another, leaving the entire government and the opposition in a state of being even more overwhelmed and exhausted.

Lack of food and clothing is just a story.

After all, the state of Chu has not only spent the winter without food and clothing this year, so even if the situation this year is extremely serious, as long as it has strong force, the least important voice of public resentment can always be suppressed.

Although the Cheng family has been convicted of the crime of conspiracy, the Cheng family is still being pursued, and it is always a major safety hazard. The plague that was originally controlled in the area of Phoenix Mountain gradually spread to the capital, causing panic in the city.

The king's messenger who sent to the subject countries and the major princes to pass the decree (the close attendant of the monarch's left and right palms to convey and other things) brought back bad news to the court, and a vassal state of Chu had a lord hanged himself for no reason, and the Ruo Ao vassal country that had just quelled the rebellion, the Qishu ancient country was not considered peaceful, and it was ready to move......

All kinds of civil strife and natural disasters continue to ......

All were taken as warnings from the Eastern Emperor.

For a time, the large and small temples of Yingdu suddenly appeared out of thin air, and through divination, they continued to declare to the people of the world who were prostrate on the ground: It is because the upper echelons of the Chu State have the existence of the disrespectful supreme god Donghuang Taiyi, which causes the Donghuang to be angry, just as the king of Chu did not worship the ancestors, and finally suffered the disaster of the country, this malaria chaos and war will only be a beginning, his anger will come to Jingman, and even suffer the disaster of the country, someone must come out to bear all the sins, sacrifice to the southeastern suburbs, and wash away all the sins before it can be stopped.

But "who" is the worst sin?

The answer to this question is varied.

Some people say that the deceased King of Chu is mediocre; some people say that it is the ambition of the wolf son of the Ruo Ao clan to corrupt a country; and some people say that it is because the body of the new king and woman is not worthy of the position, and now it is even more absurd......

However, since the confirmation of Mi Huang, she has not been unlucky enough to force the palace to hang herself like King Chu Cheng, or forced the palace to cut herself like King Chu Mu, but for several days, the courtiers still have not seen her go to court, or summoned a courtier, or even handed out any news to anyone.

As one of the Great Chu monarchs who was almost killed.

The queen's palace only sings and dances every day, and the sound spreads all over the world, as if she doesn't know that Cheng Daxin died for her, nor does she know the major events that happened in the country.

What's more, in the face of the courtiers who asked for an audience, she ordered someone to hang a wooden sign outside the gate of Chuhe Palace.

The book says: "Whoever admonishes will be killed!"

As soon as this order came out, the government and the opposition were shocked or shocked.

Many veteran ministers, scholars, and historians Wu Zhu even sternly denounced: "Hanging cards to refuse to admonish?

"What did she do?"

"Now that the domestic war and the epidemic are continuous, the internal and external political situation is unstable, and we don't ask about state affairs, we actually come up with such a pioneering act of "hanging cards and refusing to admonish"!"

"If the ancestors of the past generations knew about this, they would have to live alive!"

"When the king of Chu was alive, no matter how lazy he was. ”

"Don't dare to do that!"

"She, she, she...... Is this the king of Zhou You, who wants to chase after the princes of the drumming opera and almost destroyed the country in the end, or the king of Shang who finally brought about his own destruction in the song "Song of the North"? A woman is so unable to overcome all difficulties and avoid the scourge of killing the king, she doesn't know how to be cautious in her words and deeds, and she can't indulge in singing and dancing for a while, but she doesn't know that cherishing it will lead to fire......

"It's really the first faint monarch in my three hundred years of Great Chu!"

However, after all, Mi Huang is still Ruo Ao Ziyan's wife.

In the face of Mi Huang's move, Ruo Ao Ziyan did not say a word, and even repeatedly advised the families not to easily violate this article.

However, there are still ministers, scholars, historians, and Wu Zhu, under the deliberate promotion of well-intentioned people, because of the invasion of the palace, and finally after being killed or punished, the government and the opposition believed that her move was not a joke.

Therefore, before the recovered Mihuang ascended the throne and became pro-government, she had aroused various domestic contradictions, and even sharpened sharply, but she never attended the major court banquets in the country, and she never even showed her face symbolically, let alone explained.

"Faint King".

It's just the lightest abuse of the Chinese people against her!

At this point, the state of Chu was in chaos.

Previously, Bu Yin's sentence "Omen of the Past" had already spread all over the world, and now his "Wrath of the Eastern Emperor" has come true again, and he was regarded as a prophet by the Chu people for a while, and Wu Xian was reincarnated.

The major clans even invited them to trust each other with a lot of money, begging him to pray for them to be blessed and eliminate evil, and to eliminate diseases and disasters.

For a time, the fame was shocked!

Countless feathered witches, witches (females say witches, men say witches. Wandering around Jingchu, he told the world: "When life is on the verge of death, only by sincerely praying to the Eastern Emperor can we break all evils." ”

Ignorant people, merchants, nobles and even courtiers...... They prostrate themselves on the ground, asking them to pray for freedom from calamity.

"Lord Witch, please wish me to wait!"

Everywhere you pass through the market, you can see witches and witches, a large number of people gathered around them, and even the families of high-ranking officials and nobles come to worship in horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, and the gods and nobles hold boulders, trees, cows, and sheep to communicate with ghosts and gods, and smear the paint mixed with black mud on the foreheads of pious believers to eliminate disasters and illnesses for them, so as to earn a large amount of merit money.

Li Lao, who was sitting in the car, looked at such a scene, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Heh, the people will always be so ignorant!"

"I can't even tell the difference between a mountain ghost and a true god. ”

"People are the same. ”

"It seems that not only we have seen this opportunity, but these guys who are full of mouths of the Eastern Emperor God are also aiming at this opportunity of the power vacuum of the new monarch and want to give it a go. ”

Wang Yin, who was sitting opposite, quietly clasped his hands on his chest, silently made a gesture of congratulations, and asked for the Eastern Emperor's forgiveness: "But, Elder Li, that's killing people in the invisible malaria evil......

"The evil god came to the world, and it was never extinct in one city!"

"It's a little bit of a joke, it's not ......"

Li Lao touched his white beard and smiled lightly, slightly distorted, and his eyes flashed with a strange light: "How many people have you seen infected by malaria in the city now?"

"Aren't they just a few dozen idiots!"

His eyes were like torches, and he threw himself into the closed palace city, and the excitement of the original knighthood and enthronement was also cooled down because of this matter, and it was clear that someone was against him, and even a row of old ministers of the court who were waiting in front of the palace gate at the moment began to shake their flags, pulling him back, and his next plan could not be implemented for a long time.

It's hopelessly stupid!

Wang Yin was secretly shocked: There are not many dozens of people?

A few dozen people means that hundreds or thousands of people, including their wives, slaves, neighbors, and neighbors, may have been infected with the plague, and even more so if any of these people have been in contact with any of them......

I can't even think about it.

Nowadays, new patients are found every day, and their relatives are immediately sent out of the city to burn to the sky, and even the officials in the court are sick, and the Ju clan is moved out of the capital and left to fend for themselves, and the vicinity of the sick family has become a no-man's land almost overnight.

The palace gate of the palace was closed for many days, and every time I entered and exited, it was very closely checked, so I had to stop the court to avoid the epidemic.

Thinking of this, Wang Yin's whole body trembled violently like a sheep's madness.

"So what?"

"In the old man's opinion, this is even God helping us to pull that woman down......"

"Hahaha......"

Boss Li laughed, but Wang Yin only felt very terrifying and crazy...... Then he clenched his hands harder, and sent a message to the Eastern Emperor from the deepest part of his heart: The Eastern Emperor wishes me! The Eastern Emperor, please wish me to be free from all plagues and disasters!

Anyone can die, but he doesn't want to die......

……

Outside the city, in front of a huge pit, a raging fire burned day and night.

Countless Chu people, whether they were sick or uninfected, let out a loud cry at the gods and soldiers who carried out the execution: "We don't want to die! We are not infected with the plague......

"We still have ...... to save"

"Please......

"Don't burn our ......"

"The Eastern Emperor doesn't want you to die like this, but there are always people who have to bear all these sins!"

Dazhu (a kind of official position of Wu Zhu) looked at them compassionately, holding a scepter made of pear wood made of one person tall in his hand, the scepter in his hand, and a staff went deep into the land, communicating with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth: "Play Jiazhi, welcome the ghosts and gods!" (Jiazhi, the music of welcoming the gods. ）

The witch played Jiazhi, danced with feathers, and the music was everywhere.

All kinds of cries are like crazy with the music, how ethereal the music is, how beautiful it is floating in the sky, how sad the cries of the 100,000 people living in Yingdu are, like mountain ghosts and evil spirits filling the entire Jing Barbarian sky, constantly emitting the most angry shouts: "Ahhh......h Why?...... It's ?...... us who bear all this."

"I will curse you and you will not die well!"

Hundreds of thousands of Yingdu commoners, nobles, and Shiqing......

There is an innate and irrepressible fear of malaria, and all Chu people, whether noble or low, are trembling from their bodies to their souls.

In the restaurant, in the house, one by one, clenched their fists, clenched their teeth, and stared at their red eyes, they directly transformed all their fears into anger and roars, and projected all these emotions on the source of all evils: "Since they are the source of all sins, then punish them!"

"A thousand knives are scraped, and the oil is cooked and burned!"

"Into Hell!"

"Never turn over!"

Since we can't point the finger at the man who holds the power of the entire Great Chu and the doctors behind him, we can only point to the cowards who will never take the initiative to step out of the palace gate to defend themselves.

Since there is to be someone who comes out to bear all the blame and appease the wrath of the Eastern Emperor, then her!

The sinner who still refuses to show up!

It was she who brought all the plagues and wars.

The Chu people, who were declared to be infected with the vicious epidemic and were banished, cursed her day and night, even if it was only two months after the case of the displaced people, the Yuejiao Rebellion had not long subsided, and all the Chu people and even the doctors in the court unanimously chose to lose their memory again.

Mingjun, who once held hopes, became a faint monarch who everyone got and punished in January.

It seems that it is as simple as that, and this reversal has been completed under the preaching and spreading of hundreds of tongues, and the voices that were originally aimed at Ruo Ao's clan have all disappeared into their ears, leaving only the sound of the crusade against the Mi Chamber.

……

"Do you have a grudge in your heart?"

Looking at his grandson who was lying on the bed and couldn't move, Pan Chong, who was sitting on the edge of the couch, sighed.

"Grandfather, grandson is not resentful in his heart, but disappointed......"

Shen Wuxing hugged the quilt, shook his shoulders, and hummed with tears in his eyes: "How can there be a blue sky and white sun up and down this Great Chu, Fearless can't see clearly, can't distinguish this piece of turbid river and dirty river, and I don't understand why my grandfather, as the screen of my Great Chu, stands by and watches, and Ren Chaotang is upside down?"

Pan Chong didn't answer, just held the old slave's arm, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wei'er, it doesn't matter if you can't see clearly, you just take care of your body......"

"Anu. ”

"Let's go. ”

Pan Chong held Anu's arm, supported the crook of his faintly painful leg with one hand, staggered his legs, one high and one low, walked out of the dim room, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the house, raised his sleeves and said, "It's going to be dark this day, Anu!"

Anu bent down, held his arm and said, "There will be early morning, there will be night, and the sky will be bright again, but some people don't want to wait." ”

……

At this time, apart from them, there seemed to be people who didn't care about the situation in the country at all, and didn't care that if the Ao clan might really be wiped out, they just took Azhu alone and embarked on a journey to the Song Kingdom without knowing the return date.

Seeing Ruo Aozi ordering people to rush day and night, Azhu finally couldn't stand it, grabbed him and said: "Escape can only be for a while, after all, people are born with no choice of the surname on their heads, and Zuo Yin's death has nothing to do with you, you have done your best." ”

"Azhu, you can let me run away, I'm just afraid to see that day with my own eyes...... The huge family is like a landslide, and I have no room to save it. ”

Ruo Ziyong retracted his gaze, hugged Azhu tightly in his arms, and said with great certainty: "They are all blinded by hatred, Yue Jiao is, he is, and she will too!"

Aju patted the man's back.

"Don't think about it, since you have chosen to leave, none of this has anything to do with us. ”

……

Wang fu.

Wang Shiyu retracted her shocked gaze, and her beautiful face was full of loss and disbelief.

How could she be the source of all calamity?

At this time, looking at his daughter's gloomy expression, Wang Yin said quietly: "Actually, my father doesn't want this malaria evil to be wanton in the city...... "Compared to the official career, the family, if even the life is gone, what else is there to care about?"

"Your marriage has been delayed so far, and my Wang family is even more stormy......"

"Father, he works hard for the country all day long, and malaria is rampant outside, so he must protect himself for the whole family, and don't bother with this little thing about his daughter, that is his daughter's sin. "For the fiancé she has never met, Wang Shiyu really doesn't have much expectations, marrying a pig and a dog, even if she marries a prince like Ao Ziyan who respects the king of a country, as a woman, she will only end up like this.

Let's talk about it.

Because they are only tools for family marriage.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

So he shook his head and said: "Father, don't worry, my daughter only has one wish today, that is, to invite Xiao Zhu to wish for her father." As long as Xiao Zhu is willing to come to wish her father all safety and tide over the crisis, the daughter has made an oath to the Taiyi God, even if she will not marry for life. ”

"The Youngest ......"

Wang Yin, as a father, was naturally very moved when he heard it, and took her little hand and said softly: "Actually, my father doesn't want you to marry far away in the bitter cold land of the Northland, I thought that the one who returned to the capital this time and had a good operation, you would have the opportunity to stay, but the prestige is unpredictable......"

Wang Shiyu smiled and shook her head, returned to the courtyard, and looked at the winter rain covered platform outside the window, she couldn't help but be stunned, the long hair that had just been washed by rice and water was drenched on her shoulders, and there was a heavy cold air that invaded the silk on her body with the hair.

She didn't notice it either.

Although she obeys the witch's order every day and draws talismans with blood, Wang Shiyu doesn't feel much bitter, because she has gained a lot of benefits from this matter, such as in the name of making a vow, her marriage can probably be postponed for a year and a half, and she can enjoy the unrestrained before marriage, but for some reason there is still some unspeakable loss in her heart, just like when she fell out of love.

She couldn't sort out her thoughts about that woman at the moment, and every time she heard a little bit of news, she would think about it for a long time, and worry about it for a long time, and the more she knew, the more she wanted to get closer, and even because she heard from her father that day that she was going back to the city, she would find various reasons to wander around the city gate every day.

It's a pity that after all......

Suddenly remembered that she was outside the city at this time last year, and she said goodbye to her, but the words she said today have become reality.

She didn't know whether to be lucky or unlucky......

Sure enough, no one can control Ruo Ao Ziyan, a peerless horse.

She's no exception.

……

"You women only apply grease and powder all day long, how do you understand the current situation?"

"Now it's time for God to take her in!"

"yes, what does this have to do with my sister?"

"Haha......"

"That's why you women are naïve! Delusional desire to control the thousands of men in this great Chu, is this something that women can do? This is turning the world upside down! You deserve the wrath of the Eastern Emperor! You women, as long as you take care of men's belts, it is your great ability. The male guest smugly counted.

Other male guests also echoed: "There is a difference between yin and yang in heaven, only by going their own way can we be peaceful!"

"Sisters!"

"Do you understand what the adults say?!"

"Hehe, the belt of the trousers......" In the women's market, the female concubines laughed.

"We hear you!"

"I just don't know what to do, do you want us to tear it up? Or do you want to help the adults tighten it tighter?" The female concubines smiled cruelly, rolled up their sleeves, half-exposed their breasts and jade arms, gritted their silver teeth, and pounced on those prostitutes who were full of drinking and talking.

Listening to the lewd laughter of men and women in all corners of the building, Yuxian finally couldn't help muttering a few very indecent Zheng Di foul words, and turned her wheelchair to gather people.

Qing'er directly blocked her way: "Where are you going?!"

"The throne has been robbed, and dirty water is poured on people, is this a dignified eight-foot man's doing?!" The jade string tied the Chu man's hair in a bun, but he frowned and patted the desk, disdainful from the depths of his heart to his mouth.

Looking at the independent platform, Qing'er was silent for a long time, but she said indignantly: "These men are bitches and want to set up an archway, they are insatiable, and the women in our building are ten thousand times more noble than them!"

Those disgusting faces appeared in Yuxian's mind, and he spat on the ground.

"Whew!"

“……”

Qing'er rolled her eyes speechlessly, this woman really didn't have any hostage consciousness.

After turning her eyes around, she saw that the women's market was crowded, and she pushed her wheelchair to turn around and enter the house: "Go back to the house and say." ”
