In the blink of an eye, half a year has flown by. Rong Tong ascended the throne as emperor without any suspense, and Yaoguang was arranged to serve as a tea secretary in the imperial study.

As for He Chengzhang, according to Bo Feng's words, God made the adults take pity on the great changes in his family and allowed him to go home to worship, but he didn't want to collide with the emperor by mistake and there was a misunderstanding.

The emperor is a clear monarch, and he knows the twists and turns, so he forgave him. And the god made the lord feel great emotion for a while, and finally broke down, and took him back to the temple.

Therefore, now He Chengzhang has become the god servant of the Witch Temple.

Yaoguang sighed for a while after hearing this, okay, He Chengzhang has a home, and she can be regarded as relieved.

However, she was a little confused about her situation.

Now that He Chengzhang has been pardoned, she, an outsider, should be released home.

However, when she finally waited for an opportunity when there was no third party present and knelt on the ground to seek mercy, His Majesty the Emperor, who was high above, suddenly showed a flustered smile and said, "Now that the affairs are busy everywhere, you should stop adding to the chaos." “

Mess up? Let her go home and call it chaos?

Xu saw her incomprehension, and Rong Tong rarely explained: "You are still young, let you go out of the palace alone, if you meet a bad person and lose your innocence or life, didn't I become a good person to do bad things, and get a cold-blooded and ruthless infamy for nothing?"

If you send someone to escort you, have you calculated how much you will waste on this thousand-mile journey, carriages, horses, grain and grass?"

"This ......" Yaoguang felt so reasonable when he heard it, although he had thousands of words to say in his heart, he finally held back and accused himself of sin.

And Rong Tong, but he didn't know when he came to her, and personally helped the person up, and then, it was an affectionate look, "You are also destined to be with Lian, and stay here to contribute to my Chaochangping." “

When Yaoguang looked at it and heard it, his hair suddenly stood up, and he didn't care about the decency, turned around and ran out of the imperial study.

Supposedly, the experience that night was weird and terrifying, but disturbed by His Majesty the Emperor's inexplicable smile, Yaoguang finally didn't dare to be alone with him again.

However, she is also an ordinary palace maid, and when he went to the imperial study to correct the rules and meet with the ministers, she did a good job of serving tea and water.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor has a lot of political affairs, and he has never frightened her, and gradually, she will put her mind at ease, and the people who are in power at that time have been possessed by demons.

............

And in the past six months, compared to Yaoguang's ordinary days, the gods from their hometown have lived well, which can be described as wind and water.

Half a year ago for the first time in the imperial capital, the mysterious god servants were recognized by the emperor and the people, and then, with seven points of curiosity and three parts of awe, gradually some people began to run to the newly built witch temple outside the imperial city.

Soon, the belief in the witch god swept through every corner of the Daxian Dynasty like a flood, and became the most respected religious sect among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the common people of Liming after the Shi family.

And the divine envoy, because of the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor, took his servants to stay in the newly built temple of the witch god on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

As for the witch temple in Heluo County, as well as the witch temples that were built one after another in other places, the divine envoy also took a lot of effort, and according to the regulations of the temple, suitable people were selected from all over the country, and after personally teaching some skills, they were assigned to ten apprentices.

Today is the day when the training is over, and the gods make the Lord sit down, except for the first disciple Ding Peng, the other nine apprentices lead 5,000 brand-new god servants to leave the imperial capital and go to various temples.

After the last lecture, the mighty man in black walked outside the temple, leading to the official road in all directions.

There, countless carriages and horses were parked, and farther away were the people who had heard the news and rushed to watch.

When these gods were on the carriage or on the fast horses, the people all knelt down to pray for blessings, and their pious appearance was even more serious and sincere than the people of Heluo County.

Long Zhang Fengzi was the same, and a group of emperors stood majestically on the steps of the main hall of the temple, and when they heard the prayers of the people from far outside the hall, the starry eyes under the sword eyebrows became more and more pitch-black.

At the foot of the stairs was the head disciple of the Divine Envoy, who was now bowing down and waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's signal.

Rong Tong lowered his eyes and looked at the smooth and remarkable white jade floor, and finally said to Ming Gong on the side with an expressionless face: "Go back to the palace." ”

Ming's father-in-law was full of tacit understanding, and shouted sharply: "Get up!

"Your Majesty!"

The robe inlaid with the golden silk dragon pattern had been lifted a corner, and when he heard the voice, the corner that was lifted fell back again, and Rong Tongmu turned around with a wooden face, "What else is the matter?"

The god made the lord bow down, "Your Majesty, the altar ......"

"God, let me rest for a while. Rong Tong directly cut off his words, "The Witch Temple can develop on such a scale in half a year, and it has already emptied the treasury."

After a few years, the treasury will be full, and it will not be too late to raise it. ”

The god made the lord silent, and finally kowtowed again, "Everything is up to the emperor!"

Rong Tong stopped looking at him, shook off his robe, turned around and left calmly.

The arrogance of the witch temple today is not an exaggeration to describe it as a state religion!

Rong Tong sat in the carriage back to the palace and couldn't help pinching his eyebrows.

He didn't expect the power of the Witch Temple to penetrate so strongly!

Originally, when he first ascended the throne, he had the intention to investigate the opinions and opinions of the courtiers on the witch temple, so he specifically proposed the doctrine of the witch god at the court meeting.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty opposed this matter again!

Although he didn't have any extravagant thoughts about the position of the Son of Heaven in the past, once he achieved this position, he had to think hard about his country.

For half a year, seeing that the Wushen Temple was like a bamboo, dragging the hearts of the entire imperial capital in his hands, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

If he really waits for the ritual of sacrificing to the gods, will he have the ambition to replace him?

Or, gradually, to hollow out the imperial power and turn itself into a ridiculous puppet?

"Bang!" the teacup was slammed to the ground.

Rong Tong hadn't been angry for a long time, but at this time, thinking of the threat of the Witch Temple, he couldn't stop the violent anger in his heart.

"Your Majesty?"

When Ming Gonggong heard the sound, he quickly pushed the door in, and when he saw the debris in the ground, he inserted the floating dust in his back waist and began to pick it up quickly.

"Can you go back to the palace?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, just passed the Xuanhe Gate. ”

"Go to the imperial study and announce the six books. ”

"Yes!" Ming's father-in-law got up quickly, put away the fragments and walked out.

"Wait,"

"Your Majesty?"

Rong Tong thought for a moment and waved, "Go ahead." ”

Only then did Gonggong Ming bow down and retreat.

............

Yaoguang exited the imperial study and walked towards the pantry with the plate. Father-in-law Ming on the side beckoned to her.

"Father-in-law Ming. Yao Guang blessed his body and greeted him with a smile.

"Listen, but it's almost over?"

Yaoguang shook his head, "The slave doesn't know, it seems that she is still discussing." ”

After returning from the temple, the emperor had been talking to the six Shangshu lords for most of the day, and he saw that it was time for dinner, and he didn't know when he would come out.

However, the only way to be a subordinate is to wait.

Gonggong Ming has been serving the emperor for more than 30 years, and he has already practiced a pair of fiery eyes, and he also knows that this person is actually cold-blooded in his bones.

The Witch Temple now has signs of threatening the imperial power, but the emperor is still inseparable from the support of the temple, so he must be holding his breath in his heart.

He looked at the palace maid in front of him, "Hmm," and waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

Yaoguang took the plate and went to the pantry.

Now, she is eleven years old, she is taller, and her facial features have gradually changed from well-behaved and cute to bright and moving compared to before.

However, she doesn't seem to be very conscious of her changes, but she is Ming's father-in-law, and she can see a little bit of eyebrows.

Half a year ago, he went to Chengwangfu according to the request of the master who was still the prince at the time, and he was actually figuring out the twists and turns.

It stands to reason that when the new emperor ascends the throne, the palace maids and eunuchs who serve him close must be strictly screened. But the master asked him to go to the palace to pick people.

The master is already an adult, and there are one or two warm beds around him who are reluctant to let go, so he naturally understands, but when he asks the palace steward, he seems to have thought a little too much.

The master has always been clean, and all the girls around him are innocent.

And the only difference is the half-grown girl who has only been in the house for two days.

How shrewd the Ming father-in-law is, just one glance, he can see the difference in that girl. So, in order to take care of the master's face, he sandwiched her in a few other girls and brought her into the palace together.

Fortunately, he did the right thing and put the girl in the imperial study.

He has always been thoughtful, and he will see that the current emperor may occasionally stop his eyes on that girl.

Gonggong Ming waited boredly outside the imperial study, thinking wildly: It is estimated that if you wait for another two or three years, the identity of this Qin'er girl will be raised!
