Chapter 134: Turning Enemies Against Others
"Mourning the family...... Mourning ....... β
The Queen Mother faced those cold and cold eyes, and there was inexplicable fear in her heart, her body shook, half leaning on Mama Dong, but she still managed to support her body, and she didn't look at everyone, just bit her lip, this feeling of hesitation but powerlessness, how many years...... How many years have passed.
It was only when the first emperor decided to abolish the queen that she felt it......
She hated it!
Yuan Ze's clear voice sounded again: "That's all the poor monk said, if you adults still want to pursue this case, then please continue, but the consequences are at your own risk, Amitabha." β
Then he turned back the way he came.
No one noticed Randen's expression after seeing Yuan Ze appear, and he became terrified, but finally calmed down gradually.
Especially when Yuan Ze's white robe swept past her, her face and expression looked hollow, or full of dead silence and despair.
But Yuan Zefan didn't seem to see such a person kneeling on the ground at all, and walked out of the hall with his wide sleeves lightly.
A group of courtiers watched Yuan Ze float in and away, and really waved their sleeves without taking away a single cloud.
It's just that these people are left behind, full of complexity.
A cruel and exterminating cannibalism case has been turned into a 'sacrifice that obeys the will of heaven'!
It's just so resentful and depressing.
Seeing that the sin of the old witch of the Du family is about to be confirmed, even if the old witch cannot abolish the position of the queen mother, but the house arrest cold palace is completely okay, without the protection of Lafayette, the Du family is almost a gentleman except for the Duke of Xiangguo, and it is not a big climate outside the camp on weekdays, so that the tumor of the Du family can be slowly pulled out of the empire.
What kind of god can this be so eccentric!
Li Mu and Lord Chang were so angry that their faces turned blue, and their fists and bones creaked.
"No...... I'm not convinced! Li Shilang was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood and fainted suddenly, but fortunately, there were colleagues on the side who could help him.
The atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall turned into sadness and grief, and it was depressing.
And the grief and anger that has been suppressed for a long time will become a complete anger that burns like fire?
And although Xiangguo Gong still stiffened his chest, the flickering light in his eyes betrayed the panic in his heart, and the Du family children around him had already lowered their heads, and they didn't know what they were thinking, were they afraid or ashamed?
Qiu Yebai quietly looked at the scene in the Taiji Hall, and sighed secretly in her heart, the person at the beginning of the hundred miles had the right grasp of people's hearts and the power to control the situation, which really amazed her.
It seems that as long as he wants and thinks with him, he can lead everyone's affection.
It's just that I don't want the national teacher to walk to the temple gate, but he suddenly stopped.
Everyone in the Taiji Hall looked at his back and felt 'chuckle' in their hearts.
Yuan Ze turned over slightly, and said lightly: "Yes, the poor monk almost forgot to tell you about one thing, this sacrifice is not over, and a female layman who has a noble status in the palace and has served the Buddha for more than 40 years is needed to sacrifice with fire on the altar at noon the day after tomorrow, so as to complete the ritual and show our sincerity to the heavens and my Buddha." β
Fire Festival?!
The courtiers were instantly terrified, almost doubting their ears.
Is this to tie a living person to a pyre and burn him alive as an offering to heaven?
Since the Han Dynasty, there has been almost no record of the burial and sacrifice of living people in later dynasties, and there is no such terrible tradition in the nearly three hundred years between the previous dynasty and the imperial state!
"Ask someone of noble status in the palace to show ...... sincerity."
"To serve the Buddha for more than forty years, female laymen ......."
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on two peopleβone knelt on the ground, wolf bΓ¨i; A large sandalwood chair sitting, covered in pearls.
The queen mother is jealous, the childless concubines in the palace all died early, and the son also followed his son to the fief to be the princess for many years, these forty years of cultivating Buddhism, and the noble female layman is the queen mother is the most suitable, of course, there is barely a relationship with the inner palace Burning lamp, burning the lamp status is not low, and it is also the palace master of the Shingon Palace.
So, the people who used it for sacrifice are these two sisters?
After the courtiers were stunned for a moment, most of them showed cold and sneering expressions, and some even showed a gloating smile.
No matter how the Queen Mother denies it, the situation of what Ran Deng said and the hatred and resentment in her eyes cannot be faked, and some things do not need evidence, because evidence is in people's hearts.
Whoever is going to the fire to worship the gods is the only thing that makes people laugh today.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the face of Xiangguo Gong Tieqing, and said mockingly: "Xiangguo Gong, who do you say this female layman is, now that the national teacher has opened his mouth, this matter cannot be delayed, otherwise how can it be good to anger the Buddha?" β
When Xiangguo Gong saw that he was blocking himself with his own words, his face became more and more blue and embarrassed, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "There is such a big ...... in this palace." β
"But who else is a female layman who has served the Buddha for more than forty years, and who else is noble?" Li Mu had already torn his face with the Queen Mother Du's family, no matter what kind of rebellion or taboo, he only sneered and mentioned it.
The rest of the group laughed in amazement, and laughed low, silently.
Feeling the malicious eyes from the courtiers around him, Xiangguo Gong couldn't help but reprimand angrily.
"Li Mu, are you crazy, the Queen Mother's mother is the world, not only the queen of the first emperor, but also the mother of the current saint, who dares to take the queen fire sacrifice, is this a rebellion!"
The national teacher has always been used by their Du family, but they don't want to sharpen the sharp sword to stab themselves will also be deadly!
Lord Chang touched his beard and laughed angrily: "Xiangguo Gong, didn't you forget the matter of usurping the emperor, in case you don't follow the Buddha's will, the Buddha will blame it, and a natural disaster will fall, wouldn't it be a disaster for all the people and a catastrophe for the society?" β
"Exactly, since the Queen Mother is the mother of a country, she should naturally set an example and personally go to the stake to sacrifice genius!"
"Xiangguo Gong said before that if you don't follow the words of the national teacher, it will bring great calamity, do you remember?"
"Since Lafayette is Lafayette, isn't it a good thing to serve the Buddha with all his heart to the Buddha......
The whispered chatter among the ministers made the face of the Lafayette who was the head of the group turn gray.
Who dared to be so unscrupulous and talk about her as the queen mother without respect!
Especially after the palace change, her prestige has reached its peak, like the empress behind the scenes, who dares to be so rude!?
And now......
Akiba Bai looked at the aggressive appearance of the courtiers on the side, and looked at the wolf and uneasy appearance of those who supported the Du family, and his heart was already full of feelings that he didn't know.
Fang was only amazed just now, but now he was stunned.
The control of the devil at the beginning of the hundred miles has almost reached the point of perfection.
A few words of understatement control who laughs, who cries, who goes from hope to despair, and who is from despair to ruthlessness on the stage of this Taiji Hall.
Whether it is the courtiers or the Du family, it seems to be affected by an invisible thread.
Xiangguo Gong was forced to retreat and wanted to question the national teacher, but found that the national teacher had long disappeared outside the palace gate and was nowhere to be seen.
He had to immediately look at the burning lamp who was kneeling on the ground, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "The person the national teacher said, there is another person who is very consistent with the burning lamp!" β
Of course, the ministers knew that the lantern burner was barely in line with the conditions for those sacrifices, not to mention that the lamp was also the Du family, but they seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person as the lamp, and they only kept mentioning the queen mother.
But since the Duke of Xiangguo had already proposed it, they naturally understood in their hearts that the emperor did not speak, and under the pretext that they did not dare to really set up the queen mother to go to the fire sacrifice with ten guts.
After all, the Queen Mother is the biological mother of the emperor, and it is only by watching the Queen Mother and Xiangguo Gong and other people of the Du family feel uncomfortable, it can be regarded as a solution to the resentment in their hearts.
Hearing Xiang Guogong's words, there was a crack on the originally empty expression of the burning lamp, but that 'crack' can only be called a hideous abnormality!
She looked at Xiang Guogong, but saw him spitting there and pointing out how well she met the standards of the sacrifice.
After a while, a strange smile curled into the corner of her lips, and she suddenly said, "The poor nun is willing to serve the Buddha." β
As soon as the words of the lamp came out, everyone was stunned, almost doubting their ears.
Isn't this lamp incompatible with the Queen Mother?
But the words of the lamp have been exported, and the people of Xiangguo Gong and the Du family naturally want to 'fulfill her wishes' no matter what.
In a short time, the candidate for the sacrifice to be burned alive had already been decided.
Baili Chu seemed to be a little sleepy, so he only saw Father-in-law Zhen come out to announce his will-quasi-play!
Since it was a sacrifice, sooner or later she would be burned alive in the fire, and the treatment she received by Randen was better, and two little eunuchs came to help her get up on the stretcher.
The two little eunuchs felt that this old nun was so difficult to support, and she looked like she couldn't move.
It's just that one of them accidentally saw that the piece of skin that was exposed after the neckline of the burning lamp was loosened was all blackened with scorched iron marks, blisters, and layers of tooth marks that penetrated deep into the flesh, and he immediately shivered and did not dare to look at it again.
After Randen was helped on a stretcher by the little eunuch and lay down, he suddenly looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting on the top: "Queen Mother, the poor nun has one last word to tell you, can Lafayette come to listen to the poor nun's words?" β
The Queen Mother felt the strange cold eyes from all sides, and immediately snorted impatiently: "There is nothing that the mourning family can say to you, a demon nun." β
Ran Deng looked at her, and suddenly showed a strange smile: "Yes, the poor nun said here, the first emperor suddenly drove ......." β
"Wait a minute."
The Queen Mother suddenly stood up, looking at the lamplighter, her eyes were extremely gloomy: "This palace wants to see how you can blaspheme the first emperor after you desecrate this palace?" β
After that, she walked down the jade steps with the support of Mama Dong, and when she came to the side of Randeng, she even took the initiative to half-bow and lean down.
"What are you going to say?!"
Randen looked at the Queen Mother's face that was almost wrinkled, and now the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the wrinkles under her eyes, she suddenly chuckled: "Sister, you, the first beauty in the capital, are finally old." β
The Queen Mother frowned and stared at her coldly: "You're dying, do you want to talk about this?" β
"The mourning family warns you, don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it!"
Randen shook his head: "No, I'm going to talk about this ......." β
She suddenly raised her hand, and a cold light instantly swept through her hand, and it stabbed into the queen mother's lower abdomen at once.
The Queen Mother froze, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "You ......." β
Burning the lamp but didn't stop, he pulled the dagger in his hand, and between the ups and downs, he stabbed the queen mother three times in the lower abdomen, and before the little eunuch and Mama Dong next to him found out, he raised his hand and slashed the queen mother's face fiercely!
Her strength and speed are so great that she doesn't look like a wounded person!
"Ahhh In such a bloody scene, the blood on the queen mother's body even splashed on the bodies and faces of the two little eunuchs, so frightened that they screamed and let go of the stretcher in their hands, and the lamp fell to the ground with a 'bang', and her eyes turned white in pain.
"Ahhh......h Queen Mother, Queen Mother, how are you! As soon as Mama Dong touched the blood on her hands, she instantly screamed in fear.
The Queen Mother's face was pale, and the severe pain and despair made her unable to say a word, only trembling her lips and pointing to the burning lamp.
Ran Deng looked at the Queen Mother's painful and miserable appearance, as if he felt that the injuries on his body were no longer painful, and laughed happily: "Hehe...... Old sister, this is what I want to say, where are you better than me, in addition to your background, and your beautiful face that can't be loved by the first emperor! β
The Queen Mother was covered in cold sweat, covering her abdomen, trembling with blood, that was the most failed sore spot in her life, and no one dared to mention it.
Burning the lamp propped up a little body and looked at the Queen Mother, with a look of resentment and pleasure: "Your hypocritical face has really made the palace master disgusting for many years, I originally wanted to peel off your face sooner or later, but now it's good to scratch it!" β
Ran Deng smiled strangely: "But don't worry, you won't die, it's so cheap for you to die, hehehe...... Hey, hey, hey, ......! β
