698 Secrets revealed
In the next few days, the queen and others provoked one after another, and the old saint muttered more and more in his heart.
Generally speaking, those celebrities whose vision is as high as the sky are reluctant to paint for the ruler because they are afraid of ruining their reputation.
But when it comes to rulers and officialdom, they will be considered to be in the same stream as the world, bending their waists to serve the powerful.
When Chung Li Toru presented the painting, he didn't think much about it for a while, thinking that there was finally a celebrity who admired him from body and mind. And he must be the best among emperors, an emperor who has never been in history, can be affirmed by celebrities, and he is the only one.
However, many things have indeed happened since the painting was acquired, and this painting seems to be very unknown.
Facing the old sage's somewhat resentful gaze, from time to time yin and yang weirdness, Zhong Li Che was a little sneering after inquiring about everything.
But he still didn't say anything, the old sage was not a faint king, and he was suspicious in his heart, but it would never really bring him danger. Except, of course, the sudden death of the old lady.
For this reason, he went to Dr. Sun and asked Dr. Sun to go to the palace of the old queen mother several times.
These things, Zhong Li Che treated them as a joke, and told Hua Tian in just a few sentences.
Hua Tian also laughed when he heard this, and said, "The saint is jealous, you might as well ask for it back, and then inadvertently show some traces to make the saint regret it." ”
"This method is good, I will ask the saint for it next time I enter the palace." Zhongli Toru laughed.
At the end of the day, Zhong Liche specially followed the old sage to the imperial study.
The old sage looked at him, "You follow me." So what's going on? ”
"Recently, I heard someone in the palace say that the "Sage Flower Picture" is unknown, and the minister thought that he hoped that the sage could give the painting to the minister." Zhong Li Che said.
The old sage looked at Zhong Liche, as if he regarded Zhong Liche as a fool, "The painting is your birthday gift to me, why do you want to go back?" ”
"It's really a painting that seems to be ominous, and the minister doesn't want to damage the saint and the queen mother." Zhong Liche insisted.
The old sage thought about it, but still didn't agree. Anyway, it is also a painting made by a celebrity for himself, which is very rare. If you are afraid of ominousness, you can naturally put it in a separate palace. Or simply put it in the treasury of the palace.
Come to think of it. The old sage simply refused, "If the painting is in my hands, it will be mine." Don't think about it. ”
Zhong Liche did not give up, and since then he has been asking for paintings for three consecutive days. But they were all rejected by the old saints.
At this time, Dr. Sun made a discovery. He found some medicines in the Empress Dowager's palace that were not conducive to work. It wasn't poison. But for the elderly, it has a miraculous effect and can make people groggy. Even more no appetite to eat.
When the Queen Mother learned of this, she was furious on the spot, and killed several palace maids with different appearances, so she asked Dr. Sun to report the discovery to the old sage.
The old sage was also furious, and interrogated all the palace maids and old women in the Queen Mother's palace, and then quietly, the queen lost the management of the six palaces, and Lin Guifei took over.
The old sage looked gloomy, thought about the queen, thought about the prince again, and closed his eyes.
I've given you so much, and you're so greedy—
"Shen You—" the old sage commanded in a deep voice, "go and bring the crown prince." ”
He wanted to ask the rebel if he was sure that he would sit in that position.
In the Lizheng Palace, the queen had a gloomy face and looked at an old woman kneeling down.
The old lady had been kneeling for a while, and without waiting for any reaction from the queen, she trembled with fright.
Smack-
Just when the old lady thought that the queen was going to scare herself to death without saying a word, the queen suddenly threw a teacup over.
The teacup brushed her forehead and landed behind her, the hot water splashing on her face, making her tremble even more.
"Waste, doing such an idea, has been discovered." The queen shouted in a deep voice.
She gritted her teeth with hatred at the moment, and she had been in a good mood since she killed Concubine Shu, because she felt that her eldest son was destined to become the emperor.
It's just that she didn't expect that it would only be long before reality gave her a slap in the face.
In charge of the affairs of the six houses, he was actually deprived!
"The old slave should be damned...... Damn it...... old slave Ask the queen mother to be kind and spare the slave this time......" The old mother kowtowed while trembling, and her head sounded.
But the queen stopped talking, she glanced at the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid stepped forward and said softly to the old lady, "Mama, you can go with me." ”
The old woman's face was like snow, and she kowtowed again, until the blood on her forehead was dripping, and it looked so scary.
The queen looked at it carelessly, and suddenly thought of the disgusting scene where Concubine Shu and King Zhao were stabbed to death by Nan Anhou and his wife, and said coldly, "What's the matter?" How are people still here? ”
The palace maid originally had a kind face, but when she heard the queen's voice, she immediately sank her face, picked up the old woman, and dragged her out.
Soon, another palace maid came forward and wiped the blood on the ground.
The palace maid carried the old lady out of the Lizheng Hall and walked to the back of the palace, "I wanted to make you happy, but you angered the mother and affected me, I won't be polite." The tone is cold, where is the gentleness of Fang Cai?
After hearing this, the old lady was full of despair, and couldn't help crying, "Auntie, it's a slave who deserves to die." I also asked my aunt to raise her noble hand and spare the slave's life. The slave immediately went out of the palace and would never let the mother find it. ”
"When death is on the verge of death, you still have the heart to joke with me? Why should I hold up my hand to you? The palace maid smiled coldly, quickened her pace, and entered a small subordinate room.
After a while, she walked out again, relaxed, with a smile on her lips, as if nothing had happened.
After she left, several small palace maids appeared from the lower room on the other side, and they dared each other to go to the lower room. The youngest of them had a sympathetic face, "another ...... died"
"Stop talking, getting people to mass graves early is the way to go. If it tastes good, our lives will not be guaranteed. The oldest palace maid whispered.
Soon, several palace maids entered the lower room. A corpse was brought out.
And on the mass grave outside the city, there was another corpse silently.
Zhong Liche no longer asked for paintings, but he was called by the old sage and talked for a long time.
Then, there were more changes in the personnel of the 100 officials in Beijing.
Officials of high rank, after the next dynasty, were often called to the imperial study to discuss affairs.
On this day, the study was full of people, discussing how to fight against disasters after winter.
In the past two years, it has become colder and colder. In winter, it drips into ice. Often, many civilians freeze to death.
According to Hua Tian's speculation. Maybe in the Xiaoice period. If this is the case, I am afraid that in the next hundred years, the Great Zhou Dynasty will have a very difficult time.
During the Xiaoice period, the temperature drops. Heavy snowfall in winter. In the summer, there are frequent droughts and floods. So meteorological. In this ignorant Great Zhou Dynasty, it is most likely to be regarded as a curse.
Many people will think that it is the Great Zhou Dynasty that governs the country badly. Wrath of the heavens, and the wrath of the heavens will punish this lord of the kingdom and affect the people. Ordinary points, there will be constant rebellion, serious, and even overthrown.
Hua Tian didn't care who the ruler was, she was more worried about the displacement of ordinary people and starvation.
Zhong Liche heard Hua Tian mention that there was such a weather, this time in the imperial study, he proposed to encourage the people to build more ondols, and proposed that the imperial court store grain.
There was little opinion on the second point he raised. But the first point, as everyone agrees, is that it doesn't need to be that way.
"It's not cold in the south, it's cold in the north." Taishi Yang shook his head and said.
Everyone began to discuss.
Hua Heng and Hua Ke supported Zhong Liche one after another, but in the end, they were weak and were not adopted by the saints.
Thinking that there was still a good hall, Hua Heng, Hua Ke and Zhong Liche could only give up helplessly in the end.
Or, if it is really as Hua Tian said, it will be extremely cold for more than 100 years, and they will be better able to run Yishantang.
After discussing for a long time, everyone was a little tired, so the old sage ordered the hundred officials to rest, and asked the eunuch to bring pastries and tea.
Zhong Li Toru slowly ate the pastry, his eyes surveying the imperial study.
The imperial study is not small, but at the moment it is crowded with officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is very stuffy.
He swept his gaze and saw the "Saint Flower Drawing" hanging on the right side of the old sage.
The Queen Mother was drugged, and the saint already knew about it, so naturally the painting was not detailed, and it was also ruled out. No, the old sage immediately put it back in the imperial study.
Just as he was thinking, one of the eunuchs was holding tea, and accidentally broke his foot, and the whole person threw himself forward.
The teacup tray in his hand flew towards the "Sage Flower Drawing" on the wall.
Suddenly, the tea was splashed and poured on the "Sage Flower Picture".
The eunuch's fall was an emergency, and everyone couldn't react for a moment, so they could only watch the painting get wet with tea.
The imperial study suddenly fell silent, and the few who had been speaking in a low voice all looked at the paintings on the wall in a daze, and then at the face of the old saint.
The eunuch who fell knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he quickly got up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty spares your life...... I beg your majesty to spare your life......"
"Someone—" cried the old sage in a deep voice.
His face was gloomy and his eyes were obscure, and at first glance he saw that the mountain rain was coming.
When the eunuch heard this, he kowtowed louder, but he no longer dared to beg for mercy.
At this moment, one person suddenly exclaimed, "Look, the Sage Flower Picture has changed!" ”
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the picture on the wall.
The old saint was very heartbroken, and it was rare for him to have a painting painted for him by a famous man himself, and now it was accidentally ruined like this.
"It seems that this painting is going to be rui......ned," Zhou Bachang sighed.
The rest of the officials all nodded their heads and sighed.
The old sage's face was pale, and he was about to get out the eunuch who had caused the catastrophe on the spot.
At this time, Hua Heng laughed, "Not necessarily, please take a look." ”
"What the Qing family said is true?" The old sage Huo Di looked at Hua Heng at once.
The eyes of everyone in the imperial study were all looking at Hua Heng.
"This painting is wet with hot tea, and it has begun to faint, where can it be saved?" Prime Minister Lin looked at Hua Heng suspiciously.
He knew that Hua Heng was a human being, and he knew that he would never speak, but the "Sage Flower Picture" hanging on the wall was slowly fading at the moment, which was obvious.
"Yes, can it still be saved?" The others asked.
Hua Heng smiled, with a mysterious expression, "Everyone, just look at it." Then he refused to speak again.
The old sage glanced at Hua Heng, and there was a little hope in his heart.
Such a rare painting, he naturally hopes that as Hua Heng said, it will not be destroyed.
But seeing is believing, the paintings on the wall have begun to change color, and the paint on the original lines has begun to fade.
"The Hua family and Mr. Shuangcheng know each other, and maybe they really know something." The old saint gradually despaired, but he still comforted himself in his heart.
In everyone's eyes, the painting became more and more dizzy, and it looked blurry, and it had long lost its original atmosphere.
"Huada Hanlin, why are you joking with us like this?" Kang Guogong looked at Hua Heng with a dark face.
Hua Heng's face was also a little stunned, he got up from his position, walked to the "Sage Flower Picture", looked at it carefully, and shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be enough......"
"What's not enough?" The old sage hurriedly asked, "If anything—"
He stopped abruptly in the middle of his sentence, and then reacted, "Stop—"
Not only the old saints, but also the rest of the officials, all lost their color.
I saw Hua Heng actually pick up two cups of hot tea from the old sage's table and splash them towards the paintings on the wall. The hot tea was poured directly on the picture.
"Hua Jiuzhi, you dare-" The old sage was furious and looked at Hua Heng coldly.
The rest of the officials all shook their heads, and secretly said in their hearts, this fast-rising talent is afraid that it will wither from now on.
Prime Minister Lin Cheng stood up, "Sage, Hua Jiuzhi must have a hard time......
"Oops, I didn't even check whether there was tea powder in the tea......" Before Prime Minister Lin Cheng's words fell, Hua Heng's remorseful voice sounded.
Prime Minister Lin's words can't be said any longer.
The old sage stood up and looked at Hua Tian with a cannibalistic gaze.
All the officials in the imperial study looked at Hua Tian, some worried, some gloating.
However, Hua Ke and Zhong Liche had calm faces, and they did not have any worries about changing color.
"Everyone, please look at the paintings on the wall, it's time to start ......," Hua Heng said suddenly.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked at the "Saint's Flower Drawing" on the wall.
Drink-
Everyone gasped in unison, staring intently at the painting on the wall, their faces full of horror.
"How so?"
"This ......"
"A miracle I've never seen before—"
The old sage stepped out, walked to the painting, looked at the painting on the wall seriously, his eyes burst out with dazzling brilliance, and shouted, "Good! Good! ”
I saw that on the "Sage Flower Picture" on the wall, it was slowly blooming!
The flower bones that were tightly closed are slowly opening up, blooming like real flowers! And the old saint in the center, the serious expression on his face was also changing, and he actually began to smile!
"Rare in the world—" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
In the eyes of everyone, in the "Sage Flower Drawing", all the flowers are in full bloom, and the old sage in the center is smiling, but not majestic. (To be continued......)
