Chapter 233: Torture Hidden Altar
According to the rules of the game, this is actually a hint given by the gods. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The dreams of info drinking green, Sui Su and Yun Yang represent imprisonment, despair and resentment, respectively, and they also point to the root of all these problems in the old hall.
That's game over.
Shi and Gui'er and a few little eunuchs took off the thick silk from the window, and the hall suddenly brightened. Yunyang came to the queen with Sui Su and Yinlu, and bowed down to salute: "I don't know that the queen has arrived, I missed the welcome, please forgive me!" ”
The queen nodded and said: "It's quite inappropriate to do these ghosts and gods in broad daylight, although it is a game, don't touch it again in the future." ”
Yunyang held his forehead, as if he was in a bad spirit, and whispered, "My sister wrote it down." ”
Seeing that this trip was in vain, the queen was a little lost in her heart, and with a sneer on her face, she glanced at Yunyang coldly, and turned her head to leave.
As soon as she saw that she was leaving, Yunyang became anxious: "Queen Mother, just now the gods reminded that there are quite strange things in the old hall, and I also ask Niangniang to allow my sister to take someone to resolve it, otherwise my sister will suffer from nightmares." ”
The queen stopped, a little angry in her heart, she wanted to turn a blind eye to this incident and treat it as if it didn't happen, but this Song Yunyang wanted to make it clear and say that the old hall was quite weird.
This location was chosen by the alcohol king, which is naturally the best, how can this woman be allowed to point fingers. The queen's eyes flashed fiercely, and just as she wanted to have a seizure, Qu Jun said on the side: "Niangniang, it's better to go and have a look, if this place is really weird, after King Alcohol returns to Luoyang, if he comes to see the play, it will inevitably be affected." ”
When the queen heard this, she thought: "That's true, my son will often go to the battlefield, and there are some taboos to talk about in the light of swords and swords." So he said to Yunyang, "That's fine, this palace will go with you." It's better to have a false alarm, sister, don't use nightmares as an excuse to delay the construction period. ”
Yunyang quickly nodded yes.
So the group came to the old hall, because they knew that the two ladies were coming, the palace bureau had sent someone to clean it, the dense cobwebs in the hall were gone, and the ground and walls were dusty and tidy.
The queen walked around the old hall, didn't find anything, walked to the middle of the hall and looked at the ground and said: "What the concubine saw in her dream is here, let the eunuchs dig up this ground and see what is underneath, if there is nothing, everyone will be at ease." ”
So the queen and Yunyang retreated to the outside of the palace, and a eunuch had already prepared a Shu brocade canopy with a peony pattern, and under the canopy was a set of tables and chairs with chicken branches and wood wrapped with silver edges, and the queen invited Yunyang to sit down.
At this time, someone from the palace brought the moth green tea and put it in the hands of the two mothers. The two of them thought that the gray place was gray and didn't taste tea, so they just ordered the maid to bring the palace fan to cover their mouths and noses.
More than a dozen eunuchs were busy in the old hall for a while with shovels and pickaxes, before they heard someone shout: "There's something down here!" After a while, an old eunuch walked out of the old hall, came to the queen and said, "Three large altars have been dug up in the old hall. ”
When the queen heard that there was really something inside, her heart sank, her hand was gently raised forward, Qu Jun hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, and walked to the old hall with his mother.
When Yunyang saw this, he also stood up, and when he got up, he quickly exchanged glances with the stone and walked inside.
As soon as you enter the old hall, you can see that the floor tiles in the hall have been peeled off, and a big pit has been dug under the floor tiles, and there are three coarse porcelain jars next to the big pit. The three altars were four or five feet high, with thin mouths and wide bellies, dark glazed surfaces, and there was nothing in them.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw these three big altars, and some palace people had quietly turned their backs, because these altars represented the most terrifying end in the palace, the darkest hell - Renbi.
Since the Western Han Dynasty and Lu Hou first executed Mrs. Qi by the method of Renyi, there have been similar records in the courts of all dynasties. It's just that this punishment is too cruel, and the records in the history books are quite obscure.
When Empress Zetian of the previous dynasty was in charge of the harem of Luoyang, the eastern capital, she once cut off the hands and feet of Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Min, gouged out her eyes and nose to make adult babes, and threw them into a large jar filled with spirits, which was called "bone drunk". Later, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Min decomposed all over their bodies and died in extreme pain.
After their deaths, the two jars they used were brought to the court as instruments of torture. Legend has it that a few years later, one night in the middle of summer, after the lightning and thunder, there was a larger jar of the same style in the middle of the two jars, and everyone was amazed.
This matter later reached Empress Zetian. One afternoon, Empress Zetian was taking a nap when she suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing, and Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Min were rotting all over their bodies, standing in front of her with hideous faces.
They gritted their teeth and said, "We have already sued you from the Immortal Monarch, and the big altar of the court is prepared by the Immortal Monarch for you, who are full of evil and have a heart like a snake and scorpion." We will repay you tenfold and hundredfold for what we have suffered......"
The Empress of Heaven woke up suddenly, summoned the guards to go to the court bureau, and after seeing the three jars, she ordered the guards to smash all the three jars to smash, and before she could do anything, the three jars began to seep blood out, and everyone was shocked.
Someone said on the side: "This thing is very ominous, it was the queen back then, and Concubine Xiao Min was tortured, and today it suddenly oozes blood, which is contrary to common sense, I am afraid that the ghosts of these two people are left in this vessel." ”
"If you break it and release the resentful souls in it, I am afraid that it will harm the palace. It is better to invite the monks to do the law, and bury these three jars in the ground, and build a temple on them to suppress them, so as to protect the palace in Kangtai. ”
This man's words seemed to others to be nonsense, but when Empress Zetian heard it, she was right in the heart, and she instructed the guards to do what the man said. Later, the Luoyang Imperial Palace changed hands many times, and no one could tell which of the temples and halls that the three altars were said to be in the legend, so this matter became a period of unverifiable rank in the Hanyang Palace.
The queen looked at the scene in front of her and fell silent for a moment.
Yun Yang stood next to him, secretly thinking about the queen's intentions: "The matter of people is a taboo for the people in the palace, and everyone is especially afraid to avoid it. Moreover, three jars were dug out here, two small and one large, which alluded to the rumors about Empress Zetian in the Luoyang Palace. ”
"Such an ominous thing, she will never be indifferent and joke about the future of the alcohol king."
Just when Yunyang felt that the victory was in his hands, the queen suddenly laughed silently. She glanced at everyone in the hall with a majestic gaze, and said slowly: "It's just three altars, and everyone must have remembered the rumors about Empress Zetian in the previous dynasty. ”
"Hundreds of years have passed since this incident, the blue sky is clear, the red sun is clear, how can there be any ghostly things. Even if there is, it has nothing to do with us. This palace feels that compared to ghosts, people's hearts are more unpredictable, and the scene that appeared today is hard to guarantee that someone did it secretly and deliberately, in order to embarrass this palace and make the palace chaotic. ”
"The emperor hates the person who spreads rumors the most, this matter will never be easily stopped, we must find out the truth and shatter the rumors completely! Come on, drive back to Longkang Palace! With that, the queen turned her head and glanced at Yunyang fiercely, a sneer flashed on her lips, and she headed towards the palace gate.
