Monk?

This is new.

It is not impossible for the masters of the temple to preside over the sacrificial activities, but most of the time, it is the spiritual master who is worshiped by the imperial court.

If the monk presides over the sacrifice, it will not be a living sacrifice easily, and the monks are merciful, and killing is a big taboo.

Hongchen listened to what his two little servants said, and said that King Li would hold a grand sacrifice event, and most of the people with heads, faces and fame in Qi County would participate, and he felt a sense of disobedience in his heart.

King Li is indeed unreliable, willful and reckless, and often does something that makes the famous Confucians so angry that they want to die in the Xuanzheng Palace, but he is also a smart person, not a real madman!

If such a thing as the present is really just for the souls of the dead, and the sacrifice can be made of live livestock, why use people?

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, so I just thought that King Li was a psychopath, and he was ruthless in his self-defilement...... Otherwise, she thought too much, King Li did suffer heavy losses this time, hated those reckless thieves to the bone, couldn't wait to return to Beijing to offer prisoners, and found an excuse to kill them first.

When Father-in-law Xue came over for tea, he also nagged for a long time because of this matter.

Hongchen was also a little worried in his heart, "Grandpa Xue, are you saying that the living sacrifice is true or false?" It's so big, you don't want to take care of it. ”

It is said that this father-in-law has a very high status in the palace, and after leaving the palace gate, he should be able to speak to those dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren.

Father-in-law Xue sighed and shook his head, his old man seemed to believe in Hongchen, and he didn't avoid her even some private words, "I don't know Wang Li well, and I don't want to be acquainted!" ”

Seeing that the little girl stared at him, she was confused, knocked on the table, and said with a smile: "I can live a long time in the palace, and my greatest ability is not to figure out what I want, but to be a person." ”

Hongchen smiled and hurriedly asked the kitten to serve tea.

She also likes to listen to Father-in-law Xue, like him, who has been in the palace for many years, has a belly full of stories, and the words spoken by her well-informed husband are only a few words, which is also quite interesting.

"What kind of person is a gentleman, you can be bullied, what kind of person is a villain, you have to avoid it, you can't offend, you have to be clear, I am only willing to have a deep friendship with a smart and brainy gentleman, communicate with the gentleman closely, occasionally do a favor, even if the gentleman fails, I will never implicate friends, so I will always not be involved in any party struggle in front of the long live lord, and I am only a loyal servant of His Majesty."

Hongchen: "......"

"Now that I have left the palace gate, I am really much more comfortable, and I have been holding back for decades, but I am still happy now." Gonggong Xue took a sip of tea with a smile, "King Li is not a villain, but he is not a gentleman, he is the most troublesome type, he is an enemy, and he has nightmares every night, but he can be friends...... How can a person like him have friends! It's just two contacts once in a while, and I have to secretly burn some grapefruit water to take a bath when I go back. ”

Hongchen: "......"

Xue Gonggong has talked about this, I'm afraid he really can't count on it.

She felt uncomfortable, although King Li sent a word, it was Huang Mang's rebel who used it as a sacrifice, even if he didn't use a live sacrifice, returning to Beijing was a dead word, that willful and reckless, he had always obeyed his heart, and he was afraid that he would not feel that using a prisoner as a sacrifice would be disrespectful to the Dragon King.

But she is still uncomfortable, saying that she is a traitor, fifteen or sixteen years old, a girl with just the right grace, how much sin can she have? Is it true that everyone has blood on their hands?

Hongchen remembered that these girls were not all relatives of the daughters of the thieves, and a large part of them were the daughters of the nobles who were robbed, that is, they were thieves, and they just wanted to live.

Father-in-law Xue has been in the palace for so many years, but his heart has not been cold to the end, and he still sighed after all: "Many girls are from good families, if someone in the family is willing to pick them up, saying that they were robbed, and they are willing to recognize the child, although it may still be difficult to escape the crime, at least there is room for turnaround, not to ...... It's a pity that everyone avoids it. ”

Hongchen closed his eyes.

Yes, when Huang Mang rebels broke through Chenzhou, many of them were daughters from wealthy families, and those people seemed to like famous girls, after all, the daughters who were pampered were as beautiful as flowers, and they were born to raise hard-working people.

Since it is a big family and the reputation of the family is as important as a thousand pounds, who is willing to think about the poor girl, I am afraid that in the hearts of the children's relatives and elders, they should commit suicide to be worthy of the family that has raised them for many years.

Hongchen didn't sleep well for a few days, and wondered in her heart, she was afraid of King Li, or should she find a way to do her best, even if she couldn't save people in the end, it was destiny like this, and it was difficult for manpower to do it, so she wouldn't regret it afterwards.

Take this matter to the Yujue space to discuss, some of the great powers are not the same thing, and some people are very surprised, bluntly saying that King Li is simply a barbarian, but he can only contact through a small jade Jue, and the powerful people are mostly powerless.

Then, Hongchen found that she was afraid that there was no room for retreat.

At the end of April, Fang Fei was exhausted, and Xia Shijie, the eldest son of the Xia family, collided with King Li, broke two legs, and was locked up to be disposed of on the day of the festival.

The news was not blocked, and it spread in a short time, who made this Xia Shijie Xia Gongzi too arrogant, and even went to the camp where King Li stayed to make a big noise, and there were so many people who saw it, naturally everyone knew it for the first time.

The son of the Xia family hit the iron plate this time.

If you change anyone, especially the generals in the army, you won't give it back, and you don't dare not give the Xia family three points of thin noodles, it doesn't matter how fierce he is.

It was King Li who offended.

Who doesn't know that King Li is a bastard, a few years ago, he didn't agree with a word, he drew a knife on the Xuanzheng Palace, and almost slaughtered Xia An, if it weren't for Xia An's little kung fu, seeing that the situation was not good, he plunged into the civil and military officials and slipped away, maybe he really had to be stabbed.

If you are a father, you dare to cut it, and you can't move your son!

Listening to the kitten pointing Xia Shijie at King Li's nose and scolding him for not being a human being, he was a beast, and the story was described in detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, Hongchen suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

King Li is a beast, King Li's father, what is His Majesty the Emperor!

This cheap brother, what a big dog!

Actually, she is not interested in saving Xia Shijie's life and death, but she is not impulsive, if she doesn't do anything now, it is true that it is nothing, how dare a village girl speak in front of King Li?

But she is always a little unwilling, sometimes she dreams of returning to the Xia family in her dreams, she still has a shadow after all, to become the person that the Xia family really values, and then she will not accept this kind of attention and say otherwise.

She still hopes that Xia Shijie will look up to her one day, and she will be like Xia Shijie in her previous life, she also understated and politely said that sentence - sorry, I don't know you!

But these careful thoughts, it is always necessary for Xia Shijie to be alive to be realized, she wants to save this person, if she really returns to the Xia family one day, her identity will not only be a daughter left outside, but also a benefactor of the Xia family, and she will not be too passive.

"It seems that the sacrificial ceremony is not only going to go, but also has to occupy a good position in the front row."

Please ask Xue Gong to be fair in this matter.
