Chapter Seventy-Eight: Zixi Stops Killing and Leaves the Throne at Night
Fu Xinbo, Duoyi and other civil and military ministers all rushed out of the Taimiao after Ling Kongzi, crowded under the eaves, watching the battle between the master and apprentice.
When I saw the national teacher knocking Yeli down the palace ridge, one by one was overjoyed, applauding and cheering, but before the moment, the situation changed suddenly, Yeli unexpectedly killed the national teacher, and one by one frightened, at a loss, and at this time I saw Yeli coming towards the temple step by step, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs exclaimed, and they all went to the temple hall to hide.
The hall was quiet and quiet, except for the heartbeat of all the civil and military ministers, it was the sound of snorting and panting, and the footsteps in the heavy rain were getting closer and closer, getting louder and louder...... It seems to shatter the entire Taimiao and the entire vast earth.
Yeli walked into the main hall, and from the wet cloak, he saw all the ministers huddled together, and he was terrified, so he roared madly: "Fu Xinbo, you come out for me!"
"The old man is here!" said Fu Simber, standing in front of the ministers, with his head held high.
"Did you invite you to come down the mountain, the national teacher?" Yeli howled.
"Exactly!" said Fusimber, knowing that he would not escape.
"Why do you want to ask the national teacher to come down the mountain?" Yeli roared, as if he wanted to blame Fu Simbo for killing the teacher.
"Do you still use the old man to say it? I only hate the old man for having no power to restrain the chicken, otherwise I won't be able to do it myself! It was the old man who harmed the national teacher!" Fu Xinbo said sadly, and simply pointed and scolded, "You devil, kill your brother and father, deceive your teacher and destroy your ancestors!
"Hahahaha......" Yeli laughed resentfully, "I don't want to die well, I'll call you dead first!"
Before the words fell, the figure of Ye Li flashed, and he had reached Fu Simbo, and smashed his heavenly spirit cover with one palm.
Poor old man and deputy Fu Xinbo** burst out, his body shook and fell to the ground, and he died of hatred.
All the ministers were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out.
"You all deserve to die! you all deserve to die!" Ye Li's remaining hatred has not disappeared, and he roars angrily, and he is about to kill.
"Stop! Stop!" But at this moment, a clear cry came from outside the hall.
Yeli and all the ministers looked towards the gate, but saw Zixi dressed in rain and slowly walked into the Taimiao.
Originally, Zixi was guarding the spirit in the mourning hall, and he didn't know about the Taimiao, but after most of the day, he still didn't see Yeli and the ministers come to add morning incense to worship, so he became suspicious, and the heirs went out to ask, only to know that the national teacher came down the mountain last night and was gathering with the ministers in the Taimiao.
Zixi thought for a while: Since the national teacher did not enter the spirit hall to mourn, it is expected that there must be more important events, and it must be related to the night departure, so she rushed to the Taimiao, but after all, she was a step late: the national teacher Ling Kongzi was dead, and Zai Fu Xinbo also lost his life.
Zixi walked into the Taimiao, and when he lowered his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Fu Xinbo lying on the ground of the main hall, ** bursting, blood flowing everywhere, and couldn't help but be furious: "Yeli! Why are you so cruel, not only killed your master, but also killed Lao Zaifu?"
"Whoever tells them to say that I killed my brother and father! As long as they say that I killed my brother and father, I will kill them and leave them alone!"
Yeli suddenly saw Zixi come in, and although his words were fierce, his arrogance was already three points weaker.
"Do you think that if you kill them all, you can block the mouth of the world?" Zixi looked coldly and left the night.
"I, I ......" In front of Zixi, Yeli seemed to be powerless to resist.
"Whether you kill your brother or not, whether you kill your father or not, everyone in the world has their own opinions. Zixi said coldly.
"Does everyone in the world say that I killed my brother and father? Isn't there anyone who says a word of justice for me?" Yeli stared at Zixi sadly, looking forward to Zixi in his eyes that he could forgive him.
Zixi didn't know how to answer, and turned his gaze to the side.
Suddenly, the hall was silent, and the air seemed to freeze, making people breathless.
"Is there really no one in the world who says a fair word for me Yeli?" Yeli looked directly at Zixi and asked angrily.
Zixi replied no, and neither did he answer.
At this moment, a man suddenly crawled out from behind the pillar of the temple and replied in a flurry of words: "Yes! Yes, there is ...... The minister can say a fair word for the second prince. This is probably because Botuo is in the first place, and the eldest prince is in the back, so the second prince lost his anger and lost his hand for a while. If you look at it at your discretion, you really can't blame the second prince. ”
Unexpectedly, there is really a person in the world who says a fair word for Yeli, and it happens to be said at the right time!
When Yeli heard this, he was so moved that he wanted to cry, and he looked closely, but the person who spoke was the deputy Zaifu Duoyi, so he looked up to the sky and sighed: "After all, there is still someone in this world who says a fair word for me Yeli." ”
"Xiao Chen, this is also telling the truth. While prostrating himself on the ground, he secretly glanced at the ministers in the palace.
The ministers of civil and military affairs naturally guessed the meaning: it is important to leave here first to save your life.
So all the ministers of civil and military affairs hulala knelt on the ground, kowtowed together, and said: "Lord Duo is very right, and we are all wronged for the second prince." ”
Yeli looked down at the ministers and sneered: "Hmph...... When I leave at night, don't you know that you are deceiving me?"
"I really think like this, but I am afraid of Fu Simbo, so I have no choice but to go along with him, and it is all planned by him to invite the national teacher to go down the mountain, and it has nothing to do with the ministers. Duo Yi said in fear.
"It's exactly ......" The ministers knew that Duo Yi was trustworthy, but no one refuted it, and it was still important to save their lives.
"Hmph......" Yeli sneered and said, "Killing you will also dirty my hands, this time I will spare you for Xi'er's sake, get out of me!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Yes yes yes ......"
Seeing that Yeli really spared everyone's lives, all the ministers of civil and military affairs kowtowed one by one like pounding garlic, and then crawled to the ground and escaped with their lives.
For a moment, the hall was empty, silent.
Zixi sighed faintly and walked out of the hall.
"Xi'er, let's get out of here. Yeli suddenly grabbed her slender arm and said softly.
Zixi glanced indifferently, and glanced at the crooked gods and Fu Xinbo's corpse, "Now that you have done these things, do you want to leave?"
Yeli stood alone in the center of the messy hall, stunned and stunned.
The rain poured down between the heavens and the earth, and the lightning flashed and thundered, as if the end of the world had begun.
Zixi walked out of the Taimiao, and while calling the palace attendants to tidy up the Taimiao, he instructed the funeral director to collect Ling Kongzi and Fu Xinbo, one to be buried in Yanjing Mountain, and the other to be sent to Zaifu's mansion.
The two coffins walked across the street, and the Tiandu Holy Palace was in a sensation, and rumors were boiling, and there was no time again.
The dragons in the palace are leaderless, like a plate of scattered sand, and the ministers of civil and military affairs are shocked one by one, and they have a lot of intentions. Zixi had no choice but to persuade everyone: After the funeral ceremony of Botuo, he will make plans. All the ministers of civil and military affairs were helpless, so they all stayed for the time being, in order to fulfill the last gift of the monarch and ministers.
Only Yuan Rong Feiyang said that he had returned from Jingshan, and when he knew about it, he secretly discussed with the third prince Zhengjing and decided: quickly go to General Baili Zhong of the Golden Bone Peak in the northern boundary of Beiji Country to avoid trouble. Therefore, taking advantage of the chaos, Yuan Rong Feiyang protected the third prince Zhengjing, and led about 1,000 people from the two prefectures to quietly leave the Tiandu Holy Palace.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the 100-day mourning period of arrogance has arrived, and the ministers of civil and military affairs will cry all the way and send Botuo to the Beiji royal family cemetery for burial, and the martyrs are Lihuan and the three hundred palace maids. Originally, Van Sinu was also going to be buried with him, but he had already taken advantage of the chaos.
According to the old royal system, Mrs. Xi (Zixi) is also to be buried, but one is the daughter of Kejing Yinghou;
After the funeral ceremony was over, the ministers left one after another, and those who were left were those who coveted officials and rich villains, among which the feast was the first.
Duo Yi was cunning and greedy by nature, and was good at seeing the wind and steering, so he took this opportunity to lead a group of courtiers to discuss and draw up a plan, imploring Yeli to inherit the position of Beiji Kingdom Botuo in order to preserve their power.
Yeli killed his master Lingkongzi, and he had frequent nightmares every night, and he was in a trance, but because of his love for Zixi, he was reluctant to leave the palace.
At this time, Duo Yi and other ministers suggested that he inherit the position of Bo Tuo, but he was not in the right place: first, he could continue to stay in the palace and meet Zixi day and night, and second, he could also use Bo Tuo's authority to fulfill the promise of the year, that is, to build a golden platform for Zi Xi, which was a dream that had been haunting his heart. So he did not hesitate to agree to the pleas of the ministers such as Duoyi.
As the old saying goes: A home cannot be without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. Duoyi and other ministers hurriedly chose an auspicious day for the enthronement ceremony for Ye Li.
On that day, according to the ancestral system of Bei Ji country, the first sacrifice to the heaven and earth temple, and then the edict to the world, and finally the monarch and the minister, Ye Li has since ascended to the supreme position of Bei Ji country. Jin Feng Duoyi is the chief chief chief assistant; the civil and military officials of various states and counties are promoted to the first rank; the whole world is amnesty, and the whole world celebrates.
Once the son of heaven and the first person, who would dare to mention the topic of killing brothers and fathers, deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors?
The first major event after Yeli ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne was to fulfill the promise of the year and build a golden platform to please Zixi.
But this matter is huge, and who will be entrusted with it? After many days of thinking about it, there was not a satisfactory candidate among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
When he was in a daze in the palace this day and night, the palace guard suddenly came to report: There are two strange people outside the palace who want to see him.
Ye Li was shocked when he heard this: The Manchu Dynasty has left me, and there are still people who dare to come to see me at this time, it must be an extraordinary person. So I rushed to see it.
Not long after, two strange-looking Jianghu guests quickly entered the palace, saw the night left, and without saying a word, they bowed their heads.
One of them said: "The house slave Huo Nan greets his master. ”
