Chapter 210: Fierce Debate Upwards
On this day in Bailan Temple, it seemed that a month had passed, and it was easy to wait until the next day dawned, and Ensei also returned to Bailan Temple. Judging by the latter's expression, he was obviously satisfied with his masterpiece this time.
The Lan family returned to the Ling Mansion as soon as it was dawn, and immediately went to see the situation of the Zou family, who was still in a coma, and Ling Shandao leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep.
"Uncle Zhong, didn't you go to the early court today?" Lan shook Ling Shandao awake.
Ling Shandao's face was tired, after last night, he felt as if he had aged ten years old overnight, physically and mentally exhausted.
The Zou family was in danger last night, thinking that the mother and son would not be able to escape last night's catastrophe, but then they were rescued by Yuancheng and didn't know what they did, and now both of them are safe.
It's just that the words of the death made his heart sink like water.
"Motherβ"
"I've heard that since the person is fine, you can go to the palace, leave it to me here, and Fusheng wants you to defend her in front of the emperor." Lan persuaded.
Ling Shandao suddenly realized, yes, the incident yesterday was so big, there must be no less people who have a heart to play right and wrong in front of Emperor Qinglong.
He hurriedly got up, "Then I'll enter the palace." β
Lan personally sent him out of the house before returning to the house.
Cheng's face was worried: "Old lady, the old slave is worried about the eldest lady, the monk said that the eldest lady was swallowed by the evil qi, and if you want to expel the evil qi in the body, you need to be baptized by the Buddha's light in Bailan Temple for 7749 days, and then sincerely worship the Buddha for 9981 days."
It will take more than four months to go, and if the eldest lady leaves for four months. Then this house--"Where is there a place for her?"
"Fusheng can't go to Bailan Temple, and I won't allow this to happen." Lan said in a deep voice.
Cheng could only suppress his worries, but now the matter has reached the ears of the emperor. I'm afraid it's not so easy to give up.
I have to say that the Zou family's move was really ruthless.
Ling Shandao changed into court clothes and hurriedly entered the palace, but when he rushed into the palace non-stop, it was still late, the ministers had already entered the Hengwu Palace, and Emperor Qinglong was sitting on the dragon chair. Listen carefully to the ministers' reports.
"The envoy from the Tibetan garrison came to see youβ" There was a long shout from outside the hall from the master of ceremonies and eunuchs.
Emperor Qinglong's brows furrowed almost undetectably, and he said "Yun" lightly, and the master of ceremonies and eunuchs next to him raised his voice and shouted "Yun" again. Ling Shandao bowed his head into the hall, and knelt down in the center of the hall and said: "Weichen is late, because the house has encountered a flood, and everything will be cleaned up this morning." Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. β
Emperor Qinglong also learned about the Ling Mansion's water walk. Although it is a big crime to be late, special circumstances need to be dealt with specially, and he said casually: "Aiqing is exempt, if I still blame that kind of thing in the house, it will seem too ruthless." β
"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Ling Shandao arched his hand and stood in his place.
Gong Chengyan sneered at the corner of his mouth and stood up from the team. He deliberately waited for Ling Shandao to come before speaking, just to block Ling Shandao in person.
"Your Majesty. The minister still has something to start. β
Emperor Qinglong's eyelids moved slightly, "Aiqing, please speak." β
Gong Chengyan glanced at Ling Shandao, and his face was sad: "Your Majesty, since the emperor ascended the throne in Northern Qin, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, lived a prosperous life, and no invincible country outside the customs dared to invade, and no minister in the country dared to betray, this is a phenomenon that only exists in the emperor's wise governance."
However, in the past year, there have been many incidents in Northern Qin, wars with Ningguo, heather and earth, riots among the people, plague and illness, and the ministers are very sad, the emperor has taken care of every day, and God has seen your fatigue, but why is Northern Qin still so many disasters?
Just yesterday, the minister didn't know why, but today the minister knew, because the dragon vein of my Northern Qin was being invaded by demonic energy, and the emperor's true dragon breath was being devoured by evil things, so there were so many incidents in Northern Qin. β
After finishing the words, there was already a lot of discussion in the hall, and Emperor Qinglong's face was pale, and he said angrily: "Shut up." β
The hall was instantly silent, and everyone hung their heads in panic, not daring to make a sound.
Ling Shandao's hands were slightly bent, and he couldn't wait to rush up and give Gong Chengyan a few punches, he knew what those words meant, and next, I am afraid that he would say that Fusheng threatened the royal dragon vein, if Emperor Qinglong really believed it, then where would Fusheng still have a chance to live.
"Your Majesty, it is an indisputable fact that the Northern Qin State is open to the country and the people, but it does not mean that it can be smooth every year.
There was a severe drought in June last year, a flood in the border county the year before last, and the war with the Liao State that lasted for two years ended the year before last. These are all things that must be done by a country, even if it is the largest country in the world, it cannot guarantee that the wind and rain will be smooth every year.
The so-called natural disaster, that is God's final say, Weichen does not agree with the palace lord's statement, what demons are rampant and violate the dragon vein, this is all nonsense, and please don't believe it. Ling Shandao looked at Gong Chengyan coldly.
"Lord Ling's words, I don't know that I think you don't believe in ghosts and gods, but in the eyes of the lower officials, you are suspected of excusing your own private affairs.
All the ministers present, I think you have all heard about the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion in Bailan Temple. This matter has now spread in Beijing, and few people must not know about it. β
Gong Chengyan roughly repeated the matter, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion showed her demonic power in the Bailan Temple, this is something that everyone has seen, and it is not made up by Weichen at will.
If the emperor does not make a reasonable disposition, it may be difficult to appease the panic of the people, not to mention that the demon is cruel and unreasonable, if he continues to endanger the people, he will let God judge the emperor.
Therefore, for the safety of the emperor, for the sake of the country, and for the safety of the people, please don't let go of this demon. β
"You're talking nonsenseβ" Ling Shandao's eyes flushed, "My child was born to her mother's pregnancy in October, how can it be a demon, it's nonsense."
You keep saying that Fusheng wants to harm the people, but who has she harmed so far? Although I don't know why Lord Gong is so targeted at my child, but I believe that with the emperor's wisdom and sacredness, he will not easily believe this kind of absurd words. β
Gong Chengyan sneered, what if he was absurd. The point is, no matter what he says, as long as it is unfavorable to the Ling Mansion. The one above is willing to believe.
Sure enough, Emperor Qinglong stared at Ling Shandao with a gloomy face, "The matter of Bailan Temple, I will send someone to find out, but I will never allow demons to do anything wrong in my Northern Qin, and pass on the national teacher-"
The master of ceremonies and eunuchs drank again. After a while, Chengguan hurried up to the temple.
Emperor Qinglong asked, "National Teacher, I ask you." Can you see that my dragon vein is attacked by demonic energy? β
Chengguan was taken aback, and said cautiously: "If you go back to the emperor, the poor monk does not dare to assert now, and he needs to set up an altar to watch the stars after he goes back." You can reply to the emperor tomorrow. β
Emperor Qinglong frowned and said, "I must give an answer tonight." β
Chengguan where dare to resist. Only nodding his head.
"If yesβ"
Emperor Qinglong was about to say that if there was really a demon in Ling Mansion, then Ling Yi could only be executed, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Fuquan.
"The emperor forgives the sin, just now the little eunuch came to report that it was the fourth prince who sent important news." Fuquan lowered his head and whispered in Emperor Qinglong's ear.
Emperor Qinglong loved him the most as the fourth prince. Although he was sent out to live since he was a child, his love for the latter still did not diminish.
The fourth prince, Qi Mo, did not send news to the palace for several months. How could Emperor Qinglong not be excited when he heard this, he immediately forgot what he was going to say just now, and said to Fuquan: "Hurry up and present it." β
Fuquan respectfully presented the letter.
The ministers below only saw Emperor Qinglong's face with a moment of joy and a moment of sadness, with a rich expression, but in the end, it gradually turned into anger.
Everyone didn't know what he was looking at, but they saw the emperor showing anger, and everyone lowered their heads and silenced, for fear that the anger was coming at them.
Gong Chengyan was still thinking that the emperor would say the words that he had predicted many times in his heart later, but when Emperor Qinglong put down the letter in his hand, he glared angrily.
Could it be that the emperor's anger is directed at him?
Gong Chengyan tried to think hard, but he couldn't think of anything he had done to make the emperor angry recently, so where did this anger come from?
Before he could figure it out, Emperor Qinglong had already said coldly: "Retreat from the dynasty." β
Gong Chengyan was stunned again, the anger obviously didn't disappear, why didn't he attack? And the incident of Ling Shandao, why was he not executed?
"Your Majestyβ" As soon as he opened his mouth, he was glared at fiercely by Emperor Qinglong, and his heart trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to say more, so he could only change his words: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." β
Emperor Qinglong flicked his sleeves and stared at Gong Chengyan with almost resentment before leaving.
When he returned to the imperial study, Emperor Qinglong's anger was vented, but everything that stood in the way of his feet was kicked all over, and everything that could be touched at hand was also smashed.
Fuquan didn't persuade him, he stood respectfully in the corner to avoid being hit, and when Emperor Qinglong was a little less angry and didn't smash things, he stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, be careful that you are angry and break the dragon body, didn't the fourth prince also say it in the letter, he just broke his hand and foot, except for lying in bed for a few days and not being able to move, there is no serious danger to his life." β
"No life--" Emperor Qinglong jumped to his feet angrily and roared angrily: "My emperor was harmed like that by that kid surnamed Gong, can I not be angry?" Can I calm down? β
Fuquan was embarrassed: "But the emperor, you can't execute the palace family because of this, no one knows that the four princes are still alive, the emperor, do you want to tell the world, saying that the four princes did not die young, but were sent out of the palace by you?" β
"It's because I can't do anything that I'm angry." Emperor Qinglong's hateful teeth itched, and he walked back and forth several times, but he still couldn't let go, and said hurriedly: "No, I want to go out of the palace to see the emperor." β
Fuquan was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to stop him: "Your Majesty, you must not, you are the body of the Nine Dragons, how can you leave the palace at will, if you let the Queen Mother know and investigate it, it will be the life of the old slave." β
Emperor Qinglong kicked him away and scolded, "Then do you want me to wait?" The emperor doesn't know what's going on now, how can I rest assured? β
Regardless of the pain, Fuquan stepped forward to hug Emperor Qinglong's legs, and persuaded in fear: "Your Majesty, you can't go out of the palace, the old slave goes, the old slave goes in person, the old slave will go out of the palace immediately to see the four princes, and I will send you a message back to the emperor tonight." β
Emperor Qinglong paused, his mood calmed down a lot, think about it carefully, it is really impossible for him to leave the palace, not to mention that he will go to the queen mother to ask for peace later, and there will be envoys from various countries in the afternoon, he can't get out, but if it is Fuquan, Fuquan is the person he trusts the most, and it is the most suitable.
"That's okay, I order you to leave the palace immediately, bring the two best imperial doctors, as well as precious medicinal herbs, food and clothing, all of which are indispensable."
Fuquan received the order and retired to prepare. (To be continued.) )
