Chu Han and Liu Feng talked for half a night, and finally explained his recent experience and the purpose of his trip. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Feng said a little angrily: "They said that it wasn't the Queen Mother who did it, so it wasn't the Queen Mother? Maybe it was the people around the Queen Mother? We heard it with our own ears back then." ”
"Master, because a lot of things have happened, I have calmed down many times and thought about it, I always feel that something is wrong, I have also been in contact with that woman of the Ding family, she really seems to know nothing, and the current emperor and queen mother of Danliang have been suppressed by important ministers, and the queen mother is often angry in the palace, if she is the one who can meddle in the affairs of the Western Regions and harm my family, how can she be so messy?" Chu Han said.
"You can't just look at the surface, if she is so harmless, how can her son become the emperor?How can she sit in the position of the queen mother?" Liu Feng still has a lot of hostility towards the queen mother.
"It is said that the first emperor cares most about this queen mother, and even the two of them were cursed, the first emperor did not tell her, but quietly helped her transfer the curse to her only daughter, Princess Yushan, the first emperor doted on her so much, she didn't seem to need to be so guarded against my mother, right? And Yu Yao is just a girl, which does not affect the status of her son. Chu Han analyzed.
"And Yu Yao and Yu Sideburns hit it off at first sight, and they became friends when they didn't know each other's identities, and this time they came back to pick up my mother, although there was Tang Yin's request, but it was also what Yu Yao wanted. He paused as he spoke, "I also hope to take this opportunity to wake my mother up." ”
Liu Feng sighed, "Your mother's poison has been for so many years, I haven't been able to think of a way, how old is that woman, and what role can it play?"
She is not so repulsive to Bai Ruozhu now, and even has a good impression, and her attitude is better when she mentions it.
"I have to let her try, you also said that my mother is getting weaker and weaker, and I'm really afraid it's too late if I don't try. Chu Han said a little anxiously.
Liu Feng's expression wandered, she never believed the people of the Danliang Kingdom, especially the people sent by the Danliang Emperor.
After a while, she looked up at Chu Han and said, "I'll give them some time and write to let me see what they are worthy of believing in." ”
Chu Han wanted to say more, but was stopped by Liu Feng raising his hand, and then her figure flashed, and she left the Qingyou Palace.
The next day, Chu Han told Bai Ruozhu about Liu Feng's meaning with some apologies, saying that he was really embarrassed that he failed to persuade his master.
Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with your master being cautious, our actions will continue in the future, and it will also be an opportunity for us to gain her trust." ”
Seeing that Bai Ruozhu was not angry, Chu Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little more grateful to her.
Soon the monarch sent someone, saying that he had secretly invited the second elder to meet, and invited Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu to go together.
The two quickly sorted it out, and then took Jian Qi and the others to the imperial study to meet the monarch.
The monarch opened a secret passage in front of the two, and it seemed that he wanted to show his absolute sincerity to the two.
The group walked out along the secret passage, and after going out, there was a remote courtyard outside the city, and it didn't take long for a knock on the door outside.
The two parties seemed to be saying a few words to the code, and then they went to open the door, and a man who looked to be in his early fifties entered, he was dressed very plainly, his face was full of vicissitudes, but his eyes were extremely dark.
He brought only four retinues, and the clothes of the retinue were also coarse cloth, and they looked like the most ordinary masters and servants in the city.
"Qiu Chen has seen His Majesty the Monarch. The second elder entered the house and saluted, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but he had a courage.
"The second elder doesn't need to be polite, let's not talk about those false courtesies today, let me explain, these two are the prince of Baizhu and Mrs. Bai from Danliang Guolai, presumably the second elder has already heard of it, right?" The monarch was very polite, and he did not call himself "lonely", which shows that he attaches great importance to the second elder.
The second elder arched his hand towards Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu, and said: "Recently, I have often heard the names of the two, Madame Bai is a person who can be favored by the gods who can burn red incense, and Bai Gongzi is also dignified, and he is indeed as good as the legend. ”
Bai Ruozhu snickered, the "legend" that the two elders said should be the rumor that the red lotus fell in love with the white prince because of his good looks.
She secretly glanced at Jiang Yichun, and sure enough, although he didn't lose his face, his aura had been suppressed.
The monarch snorted and digressed the topic.
Soon, the two sides entered the theme, and the monarch said to the second elder: "The temple has existed for so many years, and the royal family has always complemented each other, and the lone person also respects the temple very much, but over the years, some people have become more and more excessive, not only using the power in their hands to seek personal interests for themselves, but also using the name of the gods to control the people, so that the people do not go to the doctor now, every year many people die because of illness, and as a monarch, I really can't bear it." ”
The second elder looked helpless when he heard this, he disagreed with the great elder because of this, saying that he was a person who believed in gods, how could he do such a thing that was sorry for the gods, wasn't he afraid of the gods punishing him, or did he not have a god in his heart at all?
"Lone now understands that these are only some of the black sheep problems, and have nothing to do with the temple itself, so why can't the temple get rid of these black sheep, restore true holiness, and let those who truly believe in the gods be the masters for the well-being of the people?" the king continued.
"I understand what you mean, the Great Elder and I have almost become enemies over the years, but it's just ......," he hesitated, "If I agree to your proposal, the temple will be plunged into blood, which I don't want to see." ”
Bai Ruozhu glanced at the monarch and said, "The second elder also knows that I am a person favored by the gods, and I should have heard that I am the person who is destined to confess to the descendants of the family by the high priest Kai Lin, I dare to assure the second elder that this incident will not be achieved by force and rape, and will even minimize the bloodshed, if the second elder is still not at ease, you can take a look at what happened after that, and then consider our proposal." ”
The second elder was taken aback, "You're already about to act?"
Bai Ruozhu smiled, "Please rest assured, Second Elder, remember that everything we have done is not aimed at the Temple, but only against some black sheep." There is one more thing to tell the Second Elder, I was lucky enough to save the life of a temple maid, who was cut off one day for no reason and thrown into a mass grave outside the city, and almost lost her life because of it, and now although she has saved her life, she has become lame for no reason. ”
The second elder didn't know how Bai Ruozhu mentioned this matter, so he asked puzzledly, "You mean that the people inside the temple did it, did the maid know anything that shouldn't be known?"
