Chapter 134: The Trick Dynasty (1st Update)
"Lighting the lamp, since you know what Tianning Temple is doing, why don't you stop it as the master of the Shingon Palace!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department lit up his eyes, and immediately continued to ask.
Randen glanced at him blankly: "Because this was originally what the poor nuns ordered them to do, Tianning Temple was originally the biggest source of income for the Shingon Palace in addition to the Du family's financial aid." ”
"What?" Everyone was instantly stunned when they heard this.
Dali Siqing immediately frowned and said: "Lighting the lamp, Hugh is talking nonsense, where is the evidence!" ”
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at him and said sarcastically: "Why are you so annoyed, are you intimidating witnesses?" ”
One sentence made the lamp go from a 'prisoner' to a 'witness'.
So who is the 'prisoner'?
Everyone's eyes drifted over the people of the Du family such as Xiangguo Gong.
Xiang Guogong's face was gloomy, he expected that the lantern would spit out the truth, but he didn't expect that she would drag the Du family into the water so simply, after all, she had the blood of the Du family on her body!
He opened his mouth before he could say anything, when he saw Lord Chang staring at him and said coldly: "It's better not to open your mouth casually, intimidating people is hindering the fairness of the case." ”
Baili Chu's cold gaze swept over, making Xiangguo Gong stiffen, and finally did not dare to scold angrily, if he sat on the name of 'intimidation', the final result would be that even if it was for the Du family, he would be held with pigtails.
"Burn the lamp, just do as you say." Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the lantern and said that the clerk on the side continued to record.
Burning the lamp lowered his eyes, and poured beans into the bamboo tube to say everything again, from the original establishment of the Shingon Palace was the hidden story of the Du family's funding, to the annual participation in influencing the emperor's succession, and the benefits obtained from it, all of which are known.
It's just that the influence of the national teacher from these things has been diluted a lot.
And although the courtiers had long known about the relationship between the Shingon Palace and the Du family, they were still secretly frightened and dumbfounded, and they were only one thing, and they were reluctant to mention the role of the national teacher and living Buddha in these things, or even let it go.
Of course, it also includes the fact that the last few emperors were the daughters of the Du family, and they are also secretive.
After all, no matter who the emperor is or what kind of person Empress Du is, but from the perspective of the family temple, they are all orthodox descendants, and there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention that the throne of the emperor is still sitting steadily.
"The Shingon Palace is a party for personal gain, how can it be indulgent!"
"A monk and Buddha actually interfered in the affairs of the court, it is really blasphemous!"
"Don't be indulgent!"
“……。”
Li Shilang, who had been staring at the lamp, suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Xiangguo Gong, and sneered hoarsely, "I'm afraid that someone is using the name of Buddhism to manipulate the court situation, which is simply a rebellion!" ”
The word 'rebellion' makes everyone's faces change, and they all think of the case of the Eighth Prince a few months ago, when he was accused of rebellion, it was the Du family who accused him of rebellion, but now the situation has changed greatly, and the Du family has stepped into this 'quagmire' with one foot.
But all the parties involved in rebellion will not be stripped of a layer of skin!
Xiangguo Gong immediately knelt down with a 'poof', and led the people of the Du family faction to swear to the sky, and the old tears were full of tears to show their loyalty.
And the ministers who accused them played one after another, impeaching the Du family, and the posture of the person who had a twist and turn was clearly planned for a long time, so angry that Xiangguo Gong's eyes were dizzy.
There was almost a pot of porridge in the court.
Until the Queen Mother slapped the table and said faintly: "Now Your Majesty is also from the mourning family, and the emperors of the previous generations all have the blood of my Du family, and anyone in this world can rebel, except for the Du family." ”
At this time, the courtiers finally quieted down, and even the people of the Eighth Emperor's faction had to secretly praise the Queen Mother, Lafayette, Lafayette!
Seeing this, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department moved in his heart, maybe he had this opportunity......
He coughed lightly and continued: "Burn the lamp, and don't get involved in other things first, just talk about things." ”
Since the leaders of the Eight Emperors faction have expressed the attitude of controlling the matter within a certain range and not affecting too much, the courtiers can stand on this Jinluan Palace, and naturally they are all human spirits, knowing that Lafayette is here, the Du family will not really die.
Why bother to completely tear your face with the still powerful Lafayette at this time, in the end it is the emperor's wife!
Their purpose is nothing more than to impeach the Du family and force the Du family to draw a clear line with the Shingon Palace, and taking the Shingon Palace is a great achievement, so they all temporarily died down.
Dali Siqing and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Autumn leaves looked boredly at the people from all walks of life in the hall, and glanced at His Royal Highness Regent, who still used the dragon seat as a couch, and saw an indifferent look on his face, but she saw a little interest in his eyes, and she couldn't help but bow her head to hide the smile on the corner of her lips.
She suddenly can understand Bailichu's mood of liking to set up a stage and watch a play, when she is too bored, watching a play is simply the best leisure way to pass the leisure time of her life.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department saw that Xiang Guogong and the others were relieved to get up, his eyes flashed with ridicule, and then he looked at Randeng: "Randeng, why did you kidnap the innocent girl?" ”
Ran Deng continued to say expressionlessly: "Make zuò blood bird's nest and beauty cream for beauty and body." ”
"You recognize these torture instruments!" The secretary of the criminal department went to move a bunch of strange-shaped pots, knives, iron hooks and a series of other things, and those things made everyone shudder when they saw it.
Ran Deng nodded: "I recognize, they are all used to make zuò and refine human blood, human fat, and human ointment." ”
Seeing this, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department said to Randeng: "Randeng, you go and identify it." ”
Lighting the lamp, he knelt there and identified the torture instruments one by one, this one was bloodletting, and the other was fat.
The courtiers were all terrified, and they began to talk about each other.
The two adults who lost their daughters couldn't listen to it anymore, and their legs and feet were weak and they were helped by the palace people to rest.
No one said to raise objections to this link, because the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and there is nothing that can be refuted.
Akiba Bai is a ready-made witness, and he also came out to make a confession.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is not very accurate about what faction Qiu Yebai is now, saying that she is a member of the Queen Mother's faction, and she is the person who solved the case, saying that she is not the Queen Mother's person, and last time she couldn't get the evidence, so she directly created false evidence to frame His Royal Highness.
Of course, if you calculate it carefully, she is not framed, after all, the fact is that it is indeed the Eighth Highness who is privately casting weapons.
It's just that it can be seen that this person is extremely unpredictable.
So he didn't pull her directly to ask more, but immediately turned the topic back to Burning Lamp after asking for verification: "Then why do you use these things?" ”
Randen slowly raised his eyes, his gaze swept over Xiangguo Gong, who had a gloomy expression and a warning in his eyes, and finally stopped at the cold and majestic face of the Queen Mother, and looked at the Queen Mother for a moment, before he said word by word: "Because this is the Queen Mother Lafayette who asked the poor nun to make zuò!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and everyone looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief.
"Bang!" The Queen Mother patted the armrest of the stool and said sharply: "Presumptuous, above the main hall, how can you allow this demon nun to be honest and bloody!" ”
Xiangguo Gong seemed to be so angry that he couldn't help himself, and he slapped her to the ground.
"The demon nun is shameless, he dares to blaspheme Lafayette!"
No wonder she doesn't seem to have serious injuries on her body, she must have taken refuge with those people at the beginning of the hundred miles!
Xiangguo Gong's movements were too fast, and the ministers next to him didn't have time to stop it, but those who could stop it had no intention of stopping it, such as Autumn Leaves and White Leaves just watching coldly.
The burning lamp that fell to the ground covered her face, as if she couldn't get up in pain, and it took a long time to cover her face and raise her eyes, and look at him hatefully, and see the look of annoyance in his eyes that he called her a 'traitor'.
She laughed lowly, and her laughter was old and poignant: "It's still the same, big brother, you will always only favor your sister, how can you treat me as a member of the Du family, I'm just a dog of your Du family, don't you use it if you want to, and slaughter it like a dog if you don't want to use it." ”
He wanted to protect the Queen Mother, and even injured her with his own hands, so she wanted the Queen Mother to die with her!
Hearing this, the courtiers gasped in disbelief again.
Burning the lamp turned out to be Du Guogong's sister, which means that he is also the sister of the Queen Mother?!
But if this is the case, what Randen said will be more credible, after all, the Queen Mother wants to do this kind of thing, after all, she still uses her own people to rest assured.
"Lighting the lamp, what do you want to do with your nonsense?" Xiang Guogong was simply angry, his fists clenched, and he forcibly endured the urge to strangle the burning lamp in front of him.
"Am I talking nonsense?"
Ran Deng saw that he was angry, but his face showed a happy look: "This qiē is a fact, the Queen Mother wants to be young and rejuvenated, I will do it according to her wishes, if it weren't for the power of the Queen Mother and the Du family, do you think that a princess of Shingon Palace would dare to do these things that have captured the daughter of the official family?" ”
"Come on, drag this slut who blasphemed the Queen Mother Lafayette and spoke foul language, and beat him to death with a stick!"
Listening to the whispered discussions of the courtiers around him and their strange and contemptuous eyes, Xiangguo Gong finally couldn't hold back anymore and shouted.
It's just that......
"Xiangguo Gong, have you forgotten that this is still the court of my Baili clan, or do you can't wait to replace it?" A soft, cool voice came from the hall.
The voice seemed to come from the dark abyss, with a bone-soaking chill, which instantly made Xiangguo Gong stiffen, and he had to immediately turn around and kneel: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Weichen is only angry for a while because of this demon nun's nonsense, slandering the Queen Mother Lafayette, and he is angry, so he lost his temper." ”
Seeing this, the Queen Mother also said coldly: "That's right, the empire governs the country with filial piety, Your Highness wants to let these shameless people insult your grandmother so unpunished, and take unfilial piety as an example for the people of the world!" ”
Baili Chu stroked his armor and said casually: "How could this palace ever want to be an example for the people of the world, this palace is a woman, isn't it?" ”
Qiu Yebai listened to Baili Chu say this so naturally and simply, and suddenly almost laughed, this highness is really undisciplined!
Don't you hate the identity of a 'woman' at this time?
Baili Chu's arrogant and natural appearance suddenly made the Queen Mother Lafayette chok.
Bai Lichu said lazily: "Let's continue to try the case." ”
Shangshu and Lord Chang of the Criminal Department and others saw the Queen Mother and the Du family deflated, and their hearts flashed with excitement.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately bowed his hand and said, "Honorable Order." ”
He glanced at the Queen Mother with a blue face, and there was already more contempt in her eyes, and she said meaningfully: "People are in their twilight years, who doesn't love youth, it's natural for women to want to keep their youth, but it's really cruel to go against human ethics and destroy human nature." ”
Afterwards, he said to the lantern: "You tell me everything you made, how you did it, how you sent it to the palace, and who connected it." ”
Burning the lamp naturally wished to pull the queen mother off the altar, glanced at the queen mother hatefully, and immediately nodded: "Yes, the lamp knows everything, and the words are endless!" ”
Then she told the ins and outs of the future one by one, and when she heard it, the ministers felt chills in their hearts and sighed.
The Queen Mother, Xiangguo Gong and the Du family were restless when they heard this, and the Queen Mother sat on the top, holding the armrest tightly in her hand to suppress her urge to tear the mouth of the lamp to pieces.
She only secretly hated how she could have believed the words of the lamp in the first place!
This slut really deserves to be broken!
Mama Dong on the side watched the Queen Mother's fingers tremble and tremble, and immediately took a small gold box out of her arms for her to sniff.
The Queen Mother also immediately lowered her head and sniffed, only to feel that the anger and irritability in her heart had eased a little.
Bai Lichu's gaze swept over the box in Mama Dong's hand, and an unfathomable light flashed in her cool eyes.
After she finished speaking, she looked at the shocked eyes and angry looks of the ministers in the upper ranks, and her heart was inexplicably happy.
She finally said that she was also the daughter of the Du family, in front of the public, in front of hundreds of officials!
She is not the Du family maid who will never see the light!
Ran the lamp looked at the Queen Mother, and provoked silently, old sister, you and I are the same, but my sister is not good, and you will not be much better!
The Queen Mother was looked at by her eyes, and the anger that was originally easy to suppress suddenly came up again, and she raised her hand and smashed the things in her hand.
"You are also worthy of calling yourself the sister of the mourning family, how dare a woman from a humble background like you claim to have the blood of the Du family!"
Ran Deng was hit on the head by Xiang Guogong just now, although she raised her vigilance to hide, but she forgot that she had been injured, where could she still be as flexible as before, and she was hit on the forehead by the gold box all of a sudden, and her head broke and bled in an instant.
"Ah......h Burning the lamp covered his face, and the light in his eyes staring at the Queen Mother became more and more fierce.
The Queen Mother's words just now happened to poke at Randeng's heart, Randen knew that he would not live long, and he hated the Queen Mother in his heart, and secretly swore an oath.
She will, will definitely let this old slut accompany her to hell!
"If you don't believe it, just go and search the Queen Mother's bedroom, whether there is still a beauty cream made by the palace on her dresser, and whether there is still a blood bird's nest!"
After listening to these words, Lord Chang had already believed that the Queen Mother was the mastermind behind the scenes, and looked at the Queen Mother with disgust: "What Burning Deng said is reasonable, the time, place, and character clues are complete, as long as you carefully check the palace entry and exit records, and then check it." ”
Not only Lord Chang, but also everyone in the court, even the Du family, and the ministers who didn't know the inside story looked at the Queen Mother's eyes changed.
Hen Si Chen, although it is not justified, but it is also understandable.
It is understandable that the people of the royal family are arbitrarily powered.
But such an annihilating thing, even the emperor will be scolded by the historian for being a dumb king, Xia Wei businessman, and he should lose the world!
What's more, the queen mother, who should be merciful to the world and the mother of all peoples, cannot be forgiven!
The Queen Mother felt those eyes thrown from all directions, she held her hands fiercely, and said sharply: "The mourning family is the queen mother of the dynasty, assisting the younger brother to ascend the throne, and has the merit of taking care of the society, and now if a lowly civilian demon nun is a nunnery, you will search the palace of the queen mother, the mourning family, see which of you dares, who of you wants to search the palace of the mourning family, and then step over from the corpse of the mourning family!" ”
The queen mother's fierce voice floated in the hall, and all the ministers looked at each other, all of them had to look at His Royal Highness Regent on the throne of the dragon, and only hoped that His Royal Highness would come out to administer justice.
Only His Royal Highness the Regent dared to search the Queen Mother's bedroom.
But I didn't want everyone to look at it, and I suddenly ...... Speechless.
While the controversy was raging, His Highness was already asleep in the dragon chair.
Lao Zhen coughed lightly: "Your Highness is recovering from a serious illness, and it is inevitable that you will be sleepy, if you have anything else to say, just say it, after Your Highness listens to it, the court will rest for half an hour, and Your Highness will see Your Majesty in this half an hour, and carefully consider what your lords mean." ”
Bai Lichu closed his eyes at this time and let out a faint "um" to show that he was awake.
Liu Shilang had been helped out at this time, and he was the first to kneel on the ground with a 'poof', glaring at the Queen Mother with scarlet eyes: "Weichen asked to see His Majesty Xià, and implored His Majesty Xià to avenge Weichen, the relationship between the Shingon Palace and the Du family is close, and what the lamp said is reasonable and well-founded, since the Queen Mother Lafayette is not the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as he proves his innocence, he can avoid the criticism of the government and the opposition, and the subjects are cold!" ”
Lord Chang immediately knelt down as well: "Weichen seconded it!" ”
Shangshu and Li Mu of the Criminal Department also knelt down: "Weichen seconded the proposal!" ”
"Weichen seconded!"
"Wechen also seconded it!"
“……。”
There were more and more ministers kneeling, and almost half of the people in the court knelt down, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and there were also courtiers from the neutral faction, which made the supporters of the Du family's descendants instantly look outstanding, embarrassed and uneasy.
Xiang Guogong couldn't help but clench his fists, is this the wall falling down and everyone pushing it?
He said with gloomy eyes: "Even if those things are found, it can't be said that they are the things that are begged for by the lamp, and the Queen Mother may not know!" ”
Although this statement makes sense, it sounds suspicious of sophistry.
The courtiers sneered in their hearts.
The Queen Mother's face was already pale: "What if it wasn't for the mourning family, what if it was done by the mourning family!" ”
Li Shilang stared at the Queen Mother, and he laughed bitterly: "If it is done by the Queen Mother Lafayette, Wechen asks His Majesty to return Wechen an announcement, such a vicious woman, feeding on people, how can she be the mother of all people, if it is not the Queen Mother, Wechen is such a daughter after all, there is no hope, Wechen is willing to use this life to correct the name of the Queen Mother!" ”
Seeing that Li Shilang was so sad and indignant, the ministers were also infected by his despair, especially Lord Chang, who also had a relative, and said again: "If it weren't for the Queen Mother, Weichen would like to use his career as the Queen Mother to correct his name!" ”
"Wechen is also willing!"
"Wechen too!"
“……。”
The sound of "seconding" and "Weichen is also" made the Queen Mother almost all of her body stiff and unable to move, and layers of cold sweat came out of her body, only to feel as if ten thousand arrows were fired together, and she was the target!
This feeling of extreme despair was that I had never heard the news that the emperor had launched the palace.
Bai Li Chu nodded indifferently: "This palace is clear, prepare chairs for your lords, and rest." ”
With that, he got up and walked to the apse.
Akiba Bai watched him leave like all the other ministers: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" ”
The Queen Mother didn't seem to be able to stand half of it, and helped Mama Dong to the back of the palace to rest.
She looked at the back of the Queen Mother, as if she had grown old in an instant.
I sneered in my heart, this is just the beginning!
The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she lowered her eyes, hoping that these adults would accept the next drama and not be too surprised.
…… *…… *…… *……
Queen
"They want to force the mourning family to death, they bastards, don't want to push the mourning family off the phoenix seat!"
As soon as the Queen Mother entered the side hall where she was resting, her legs immediately softened, and she was able to sit on the seat with the support of Mama Dong and Doctor Luo.
"Lafayette, don't worry, no matter what you do, you are the queen mother, there are abolished queens in the history of the empire, but I have never heard of a abolished queen mother!" Mama Dong hurriedly stretched out her hand to appease the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, her eyes were full of tide, and she smiled self-deprecatingly: "The mourning family actually believed the slut who burned the lamp, and when she gave those things to the mourning family, she was afraid that she would not be at ease." ”
Luo Yizheng suddenly said lightly: "Regardless of whether the lamplighter has a ghost in her heart or not, the Queen Mother knows what those things are made of, doesn't she?" ”
The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Luo Yizheng fiercely: "What, even you have to accuse the mourning family, what did the mourning family do wrong, those little sluts' flesh and blood can be used by the mourning family, it is their blessing!" ”
Doctor Luo looked at the Queen Mother and shook his head, didn't say more, and only continued to prick the pulse of the Queen Mother to pass her qi and blood.
"Back then, the mourning family was able to win beauty in the palace change, so I don't mind having another palace change to regain power, and see who dares to say a word about the mourning family!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said fiercely.
Mama Dong lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly in her heart, the Queen Mother became more and more unreasonable.
Even if the Queen Mother is fine in the end, it's just that the Queen Mother's ruined reputation and scattered people's hearts will never come back, and if there is a second palace change, who will help an 'ogre'.
…… *…… *…… *…… *……
Half an hour passed quickly.
The Queen Mother sat back on the chair with her body propped up, looking at the empty dragon seat with trepidation.
For some reason, although she had already arranged it and Yuan Ze promised to help her, she just felt a premonition of uneasiness in her heart.
The door of the Taiji Hall was suddenly opened with a 'squeak', and the eyes of most of the ministers in the court lit up.
But I don't want to......
"The national teacher has arrived!"
The ministers of the Liting Investigation Faction were instantly dumbfounded, the national teacher, is actually here?
And the people of the Du family, who were originally wilted, instantly flashed in their eyes after hearing the arrival of the national teacher.
"See the National Teacher!"
But no matter what, all the ministers respectfully bowed to the snow-white figure that stepped in.
The national teacher lowered his eyes, no one could see his eyes clearly, he floated in, like a floating cloud, extremely elegant.
Akiba Bai looked at his figure and lowered his eyes.
For some reason, she always felt like he was watching her.
"I wonder what happened to the national teacher here?" Xiangguo Gong looked at Yuan Ze and immediately asked impatiently.
The other courtiers instantly raised their hearts, didn't the national teacher come to make a prophecy again?
They invariably remembered the tragic end of the usurper, and their hearts were inexplicably worried.
Yuan Ze stood in the center of the main hall, still did not raise his eyes, but said lightly: "Amitabha, the poor monk is here just to convey the will of the Buddha." ”
His voice was clear and tinged with an eerie coolness.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Li Mu and the others glanced at each other, and immediately said: "National Teacher, if you want to convey the will of the Buddha, you can open the altar a little later, and now the case is being tried in the court." ”
They can't let the national teacher speak, Yuan Ze must be the rescuer begged by the Du family!
Xiangguo Gong reprimanded sharply: "The Buddha's will is naturally to be conveyed first, and now His Royal Highness has not yet arrived, and the trial has not begun!" ”
Lord Chang was about to say something, but Yuan Ze interrupted them again: "The Buddha's will is related to this case. ”
"The world is in turmoil, the demon star is in the world, and the innocent virgins will be sacrificed to rest the wrath of the heavens and suppress the demon stars, so the Queen Mother Lafayette and Xiangguo Gong are just following the will of the gods and Buddhas to sacrifice those virgins, this is the decree of heaven, you must not do more entanglement, otherwise you will go against the sky, and you will be punished by heaven."
Such exculpatory words instantly made everyone's faces stiffen.
Is this saying that let them all disperse, and no more investigation should be made into the matter, otherwise it would be against the will of heaven?
The words of the national teacher represent the will of heaven, and the weight is so heavy that the holy decree of the emperor Xià, who is the son of heaven, can be changed!
"National teacher, how can you shield those wicked people, full of nonsense!" Li Shilang was desperate almost instantly, and his voice trembled hoarsely.
And the faces of the Queen Mother and Xiangguo Gong were also extremely strange, and they asked Yuan Ze to say that the Queen Mother had nothing to do with this matter, and everything was done by burning the lamp!
And when the national teacher said this, didn't he admit that the Queen Mother was the mastermind behind the scenes?
Although the national teacher also said that it was for the peace of the world to use virgin sacrifices to exonerate the queen mother, but this is really ......
The disdainful, gloomy, and angry gazes cast by the courtiers around them made them suddenly feel a word - isolated!
For the first time in more than 100 years!
Even the henchmen who supported him did not speak, and the eyes that looked at them were equally cold.
