Chapter 455
The bones were also thrown in the barren mountains and mountains for the beasts to bite and eat, and now they can't find it, I'm afraid that the bones are gone.
Shi Lunxin thought it was true, but the stimulation was too great for him to have a serious illness, and his wife couldn't stand such a blow, and his wife, who was not in good health, died directly in this accident.
Shi Lun supported the sick body to complete the funeral of his wife, and sent the aunt to the suburbs in different directions after dividing her body in a painful and cruel way, and also let her eat the pain of wild beasts, but no matter how the living punished him, their young son could never come back, and there was a wife who had been with him for more than 20 years.
But in fact, this Shi Yinan is not dead, when he is still half a day away from that Taoist temple, the owner of the Taoist temple who has received the message from the Taoist flying pigeon has come out to greet him.
His junior brother, that is, the barefoot Taoist priest, he said in his letter to the owner of the Taoist temple that there is a child with discernment, and the Buddha is deep, and the Taoist master has always wanted to find a disciple to be an heir, this Shi Yinan is indeed a good seedling.
Therefore, the owner of the Taoist temple went out to greet him, and he looked at Shi Yinan's carriage and the surrounding guards from afar. The owner of the Taoist temple is not an ordinary person, and he saw that some of the guards in that group of guards had bad intentions, so he took advantage of the maid in the carriage to get food, and the surrounding guards all dodged when they were resting, entered the carriage, and left with Shi Yinan, who was still unconscious in the carriage.
When the maid came back, she only saw an empty carriage, after all, there was a circle of guards around, and no one wanted to admit that it was their own dereliction of duty, so they all refused to admit that they were lazy, and things became the mysterious appearance of this kind of big change. Where is anyone still thinking about the owner of the Taoist temple? I immediately found someone who could write and sent these information to Shi Lun, who was still waiting for news in the mansion.
The owner of the Taoist temple is a very famous Taoist priest among the people, many people are willing to take the incense money to ask him to do things, five-year-old Shi Yinan's body gradually recovered after this incident, and he became a boy with exquisite carving, and he was very popular with the people who came to the Taoist temple to ask the Taoist priest to do things.
The barefoot Taoist priest, the younger brother of the Taoist temple owner, is not talking nonsense, Shi Yinan did have a catastrophe fifteen years later, and in fact, it was not only Shi Yinan who had this catastrophe, but the people in the entire Imperial History Mansion actually had this catastrophe. It's not that barefoot Taoist priests don't want to say it, but this calamity is also destined by the Heavenly Dao, and their cultivation must not be against the Heavenly Dao.
Just one is enough, and if you tell the story that the entire Imperial History Mansion will be calamitized, I'm afraid he won't see the sun tomorrow.
Shi Yinan grew into an adult smoothly in the Taoist temple, and he looked good, but unfortunately he loved to have a cold face on weekdays and didn't like to talk to outsiders, and when he was fifteen years old, because there were many people who came to the Taoist temple master, that is, Shi Yinan's master to do business, he often brought his daughter who was tall or short, fat or thin, beautiful or ugly to the Taoist temple.
The master of the Taoist temple, that is, Shi Yinan's master, didn't know their intention of bringing their daughter? But he never had the slightest intention of prevaricating for Shi Yinan, and was even a little happy to see it happen. This made Shi Yinan very bored in his heart, so Shi Yinan asked someone to rebuild a tiled house behind the Taoist temple, surrounded by a high wall, and a big lock on it, so that Shi Yinan would not worry about such a thing happening again, and even said that even his master wanted to come in with his consent, and he could only enter with the key to open the door.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the fifteen-year appointment that the barefoot Taoist priest said was almost here, and the Taoist master thought about it for a long time, and still told Shi Yinan about it from beginning to end.
The owner of the Taoist temple didn't want Shi Yinan to take care of these things, after all, it was a mess of muddy water, and this was also the doomed result of the Heavenly Dao, even if it was stopped this time, then what about the next time? What about the next time? There is no good end to going against the Heavenly Dao, but for Shi Yinan, it is still not a good choice not to go. Because after all, the Yushi Mansion is his relatives and parents, and it is where his fetters lie, and the way of heaven is affectionate but ruthless.
How to deal with this bond is a tricky matter. Therefore, the owner of the Taoist temple decided to tell this matter in its entirety and let Shi Yinan decide what to do for himself.
Shi Yinan was only five years old when he left the Imperial History Mansion, and now more than ten years have passed, even if there is a deep memory, it is almost forgotten, not to mention that he was just a little boy at the time, and he doesn't remember, but no emotional bond does not mean that he can ignore the bond between blood, and listening to what his master said, Shi Yinan's father loves his young son very much.
Such a thorny question was placed in front of him, but before Shi Yinan could figure out what he should do, his uncle, that is, the barefoot Taoist priest, came with the news that Shi Lun, the imperial historian, that is, his biological father, had been exterminated because of his disrespectful remarks in the court and his contempt for the emperor's prestige.
When the owner of the Taoist temple heard the news, his face sank, and his face was rare serious. He told Shi Yinan that the reason why the Shi family exterminated the clan in advance may be because he and his junior brother rescued Shi Yinan, but what to plant is what to get and what to reap, since the two of them have made this choice, they will not turn back, and the rest depends on Shi Yinan's own choice.
Whether to still follow the master of the Taoist temple, that is, the master, to practice morality and purify the common people, or to give up cultivation and avenge the Shi family.
Again, it's a difficult choice. Nor can the two options be completely separated. If Shi Yinan chooses to continue to practice morality, then his Taoism will definitely not be very deep, because his fetters are too heavy.
Therefore, if you want to get rid of these fetters and embark on the path of cultivation, you must undo these fetters, that is, you must repay the hatred of your father and mother, and repay the kindness of your life, but how can this hatred be said to be revenge and revenge?
It was the current saint who ordered the destruction of the Shi clan, and if he wanted to take revenge, it would be a rebellion in the real sense, and this would be killed! And the key Shi Yinan did not have the skills to enter the palace to avenge the Shi clan.
At this time, an opportunity appeared.
This opportunity is the Three Princes.
Today, the saint is brutal and rampant, human nature is distorted, and there is no distinction between good and evil in his heart. The minister who still has his heart today may be ordered by him to raid his house and behead tomorrow. I really said the meaning of the word moody, and I couldn't go to the morning court a few times a month.
Shi Lun, the minister of imperial history, is a direct minister, and he wants to see the old emperor like this, and under the pressure of the old emperor, he spoke bluntly, and said sharply that the old emperor had not been in the early dynasty for a long time.
The old emperor was furious, threw Shi Lun's admonition, and fell Shi Lun's face, didn't say anything, and went down to the early dynasty with a dark face.
The next day, someone reported that Shi Lun's Imperial History Minister's Mansion harbored a woman from the previous dynasty, and the woman still had things left over from the previous dynasty in her hands.
The old emperor was furious, and sent guards with swords to surround the Imperial History Mansion layer by layer, and sure enough, he found the traces left by the remnants of the previous dynasty after they lived, as well as a poison that was lost after the previous dynasty.
On the day of release, Shi Lun, the minister of imperial history, was taken off his black gauze hat and imprisoned in the prison.
In the prison, the old emperor instructed the guards to try all kinds of punishments on Shi Lun, looking at Shi Lun's eyes from disbelief, pain, fear, panic and finally turned into despair, and the old emperor left satisfied. Before leaving, Shi Lun was sentenced to death.
"Shi Lun, the former imperial historian, harbored the remnants of the previous dynasty, and had the following intentions to punish the nine clans. ”
In just one sentence, the death of more than 100 people in the Shi family was decided, and in just one day, so many living beings were brutally killed.
How many people who have received the help of the imperial doctor Shi Lun cried bitterly, but they will never see the warm-hearted Lord Shi again. For a while, many officials begged for bones because of their age, but after the old emperor killed a few officials who played the bones, they all stopped.
The emperor's harem was also tossed by him. The old emperor somehow became obsessed with appreciating the humiliation of his concubine, every time the big eunuch sent the green head card of the palace concubine, the old emperor would casually turn over a few cards, and then wait for the palace concubine to finish grooming and send it to the Qianqing Palace, the old emperor would let the eunuch tear the yellow silk cloth on the palace concubine's body, and admire the palace concubine's naked and panicked ugliness.
The old emperor seemed to be in love with this feeling, and gradually became no longer satisfied with such a method, so he asked people to take away many torture instruments from the torture chamber, and pick up those torture instruments that could leave traces but would not hurt their lives and use them on the naked body of the palace concubine.
Whenever he watched these palace concubines screaming and losing their voices, or crying bitterly and begging for mercy, the old emperor felt full of comfort and laughed loudly.
Because the old emperor's actions have always been freewheeling, no matter what grade of palace concubine she is, when she arrives in the Qianqing Palace, she is just a woman who is admired for her naked posture and is not even as good as a prostitute, so for a while, people in the harem were panicked, and everyone was afraid of being summoned to bed.
Those palace concubines who had been here before, and the unlucky ones came five or six times, and the expressions on their faces gradually became numb, which also made the old emperor very irritable, and after losing interest, some palace concubines were rewarded by him to the eunuchs in the palace.
Thinking of those palace concubines being humiliated and tortured by those rootless eunuchs, the old emperor's body began to tremble.
Later, once, a little nobleman who was summoned for the first time was carried into the Qianqing Palace, and the old emperor was more excited than usual when he saw this new face, how long had he not seen such a vivid look of fear?
What a thrilling thing it would be to make this living, untouched flesh filthy little by little, and to make her look frightened and desperate?
When a eunuch who habitually ripped off the yellow silk cloth on the palace concubine approached this nobleman, the old emperor was satisfied to see the frightened look on the little nobleman's face, it was really every second, the old emperor looked at the nobleman's expression intoxicated, and refused to miss a second.
The nobleman looked at the old emperor with pleading faces.
The old emperor was stunned, and there was a frightening smile on his face.
The eunuch skillfully ripped off the last fig leaf on the nobleman's body, and the living flesh was exposed to everyone's eyes. A large number of palace attendants and eunuchs have gathered in the palace.
The eunuchs also approached the white and flawless bodies of the nobles, and dirty and obscene eyes abounded. The nobleman was punished, and the red blood contrasted sharply with the color of his complexion, which also made the old emperor even more excited.
Seeing that the eyes that were originally full of pleading, fear, disgust, and hatred finally turned hollow little by little, the old emperor only felt refreshed.
This period of excitement made the old emperor's cheeks appear abnormally rosy, ignoring the eunuchs and attendants who were still excitedly carrying out his orders and continuing to insult the palace concubines "dutifully", and the old emperor left laughing.
This scene in the palace was quickly reported back by the hidden eyeliner of the third prince and the eighth prince, and the two princes looked at the series of absurd and unreasonable behaviors that the old emperor had done recently, and the third prince and the eighth prince fell into contemplation together.
The old emperor is practicing the palace concubine again, not only did not restrain himself, but also became more intensified. From time to time, the concubines in the palace committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well, or committed suicide by hanging a beam.
The various ways of dying not only did not make the old emperor realize his mistake, but instead pointed to the corpses of the dead palace concubines and laughed, laughing at their ugly faces after death.
Whenever someone changed a way of dying, the old emperor always had to go to watch, and the old emperor also ordered that if someone wanted to die in the future, they must use a new way of dying, otherwise they would not be at peace even if they died.
The third prince looked at the old emperor who was getting more and more confused day by day, and looked at the people who had become miserable because the old emperor raised taxes and wantonly amassed wealth, and finally one night, a white carrier pigeon flew from the third prince's mansion to the eighth prince's mansion.
The third prince and the eighth prince have already made up their minds to force the palace.
It's a tough decision, but once you've made up your mind, it's much easier to do things.
The eighth prince is jealous and narrow-minded, and it is really not a good choice for cooperation, and these three princes know it all too well. But if you don't form an alliance and cooperate with the Eighth Prince, when the time comes to force the palace, the Third Princes will have to face not only the rights still left in the hands of the old emperor, but also the strong enemy of the Eighth Prince.
The third prince has never been a person who does things that he is not sure of, and if he wants to do it, he must do it certainly. Therefore, the third prince chose to cooperate with the eighth prince, even if the eighth prince is a collaborator who will stab him in the back at any time.
