Chapter 374: Storytelling
Throughout the time of the early dynasty, Bai Minglin was observing the changes in Emperor Zhaoren's mood.
Sure enough, compared to yesterday, Emperor Zhaoren is not so angry today. After the early dynasty was dispersed, as usual, the cabinet people all stayed to discuss matters, and Bai Minglin stayed with him as usual.
He deliberately lagged one step behind, and when he came to Liang Ge Lao's side, he whispered: "Father-in-law, King Zheng still asks his father-in-law to deal with it." ”
After hearing this, Elder Liang couldn't help but glance at Bai Minglin, and then retracted his gaze, and the old god said two words:
"Dead."
"Not necessarily." Bai Minglin said with a smile.
After hearing this, Elder Liang Ge frowned, and said with some concern: "Don't wade into troubled waters." ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, the son-in-law knows the severity."
After Bai Minglin finished speaking, he quickly walked a few steps forward and followed behind Emperor Zhaoren. Now that I have informed Elder Liang Ge, I will be more sure of what I want to say later.
Dou Shijing, the secretary of the ministry, is also one of the ministers, and his position is obvious, Prince Rui wants to put Zhou Hongwen to death, and he is naturally no exception.
Elder Zhu Ge, Elder Liang Ge, and the other two elder Ge did not speak, and he was the only one who was talking endlessly, talking about King Zheng's crimes.
In the end, he himself felt a little too much, so he stopped.
"What do you think?" Emperor Zhaoren asked.
The rest of the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, they all look at each other.
Bai Minglin looked at it and felt that the time had come, so he made a look of wanting to say something.
Because of the previous relationship with Liang Ge Lao, Liang Ge Lao saw Bai Minglin's current appearance. He asked very cooperatively, "Master Bai seems to have something to say?" ”
In the imperial study, they were both courtiers of Emperor Zhaoren, so naturally they could not be commensurate with their sons-in-law.
After listening to Liang Ge Lao's words, Emperor Zhaoren looked at Bai Minglin and asked, "What does Bai Aiqing have to say?" ”
When Bai Minglin heard Emperor Zhaoren ask, he bowed and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister just thought of what he heard when he was studying abroad a few years ago. ”
"Oh?" Emperor Zhaoren had a strong interest, and he had never been interested in the affairs of the court as in the affairs of the wild court. "What a sight. Let's hear it. ”
Since Emperor Zhaoren asked, Bai Minglin said that the name was correct.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's like this, the minister has a mentor who is from Liuzhou. On that study tour, I went to visit my teacher. It was there that I heard this story. It is said that it is a big local household in Liuzhou. Exceptionally rich. He had three sons, each of whom became a family. The head of the family believes in Taoism very much, and often asks the Taoist chief of the Liuzhou Taoist Temple to see if there are any changes in the feng shui in the house. At one point, the Taoist saw that a moldy star was going to fall on their house. The rich man was in trepidation for a few days. His three daughters-in-law were diagnosed with a happy pulse. The rich man was sweating profusely. There was a mildew star that the Taoist chief said before, and then three daughters-in-law were pregnant one after another, and the rich family was embarrassed all of a sudden, whose belly is this mildew star? ”
Emperor Zhaoren listened very carefully to what Bai Minglin said, and when he saw Bai Minglin pause, he followed the text: "That is, in whose belly?" ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will talk about it." Bai Minglin cleared his throat and continued: "The three sons of the rich family also panicked, for fear that their daughter-in-law had a moldy star in her stomach, and the second and third children couldn't stand the woman's crying, and said that they wanted to save the child in their wombs, so they bribed the Taoist who looked at feng shui with a lot of money, and asked him to name and say that the moldy star was the eldest child. ”
Under the heavy money, the Taoist chief did something unscrupulous and told the rich man that it was the mildew star in the belly of the eldest daughter-in-law. After the rich family found out, he immediately took a bowl of abortion medicine and let his mother-in-law pour it. And the second and third families all gave birth to children peacefully. After a few years, their family deteriorated, and in the timber business, it was always rainy and the wood became moldy. In the fabric business, there will always be rats that bite and break the cloth, and there is nothing that goes well! ”
Later, the rich man thought of the words of the Taoist chief a few years ago, and thought that could it be that his own mold star had not been removed? He was not at ease, so he invited another outsider to come and see. Only then did I know that the moldy star was none other than the child of the second daughter-in-law! The rich man repented, but it was too late, because the rich man had killed someone by mistake, the heavens were angry, and the mildew had come, and within a few years, the family suffered a catastrophe, and the rich man and his sons sank in a water transport and died at the bottom of the river, leaving some women and children in the family, unable to support the foyer, and within a few years the family property was swallowed up by the clan, and the orphans and widows were living on the streets. ”
After Bai Minglin's story was told, Emperor Zhaoren and several ministers, including him, were silent.
This story is too much like the twin stars in front of me.
It's just that there are differences.
For example, Emperor Zhaoren's trusted Changchun Taoist would not be easily bribed.
After Bai Minglin finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Zhaoren's face and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also heard about this double star calamity purple, and only then did he remember this old matter, the calamity star is like the mildew star, the mildew star can harm a family, and the evil star is only afraid that it can endanger the dynasty, so be cautious!" ”
Emperor Zhaoren listened to this, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
Although Bai Minglin lowered his head, the corner of his eye was still observing this Emperor Zhaoren. I have to say that this story of White Lotus is really tailor-made for the Double Star Disaster Purple.
Now King Zheng is like the eldest son of the rich man, it is very likely that he was framed, but the real evil star is someone else!
When the time comes, innocent people will be killed by mistake, the heavens will be angry and people will resent, and under the karma, the evil star will be spared, and it will be too late when it will be a disaster in the future!
Moreover, this story is also suspected of dragging the Changchun Daoist into the water, at least, Emperor Zhaoren will think in his heart, is someone bribing the Changchun Daoist, will he say that the evil star is in the Zheng Wangfu?
What Bai Minglin thought was exactly what Emperor Zhaoren thought in his heart, Bai Lian had been his daughter for more than 20 years, so he naturally knew Emperor Zhaoren's temperament, as long as he planted a seed of doubt in his heart, it would not take long for it to grow into a towering tree.
The cabinet was silent, and no one dared to speak at this time, especially Dou Shijing just now, who scolded King Zheng to the point that he couldn't wait to put him to death immediately!
This is if he says more, the water may lead to whom!
At this moment, when the atmosphere was stalemate and weird, I heard the report of the inner servant outside: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zheng took off his robe and crown, knelt in the Shenwu Gate, asked to remove the throne, and was demoted to the common people, and was willing to go to Longyin Mountain to guard the spirit of the former emperor, and never come out." ”
In the imperial study, everyone looked at each other for a while.
