No.373 Sad and ridiculous (I)
Mingji Dao Chang sighed, "Yan Gongzi, there is a condition for poor Dao. ”
Zhou Boyan didn't look back, "I only listen to the answer, and I'm not interested in listening to other words." As expected, it wasn't so easy to hear the answer.
"Wait." Mingji Dao Chang made a voice to keep people.
Zhou Boyan turned around slowly, "Dao Chief, I'm offended." Since it doesn't make sense, this son can only be executed. He said, walked over and prepared to go up the ladder, "When the Taoist wants to say, this son will come again." ”
The sadness in the eyes of Daoist Mingji gradually thickened, "Young man, many times, not knowing the truth is also a blessing. Only those who do not know the truth can live an easy life. Immediately, he muttered to himself, "The truth hurts people, and often makes people involuntarily. I want to live in a daze, but I can't do it after all, and I can't sleep and suffer for the rest of my life......"
Where did Zhou Boyan know the reason for the appearance of Daoist Mingji in Huizhou, and he wanted an answer, "This son didn't mean to be long." As long as the Taoist chief answered the two questions raised by Ben Gongzi, Ben Gongzi immediately let the Taoist master free. ”
He thought about it for a long time and left Beijing. On this trip, he was nominally looking for the whereabouts of the goddess for the Queen Mother, but in fact he wanted to meet this Miss Gu. He heard very clearly, last year and this year, on the first day of the first lunar month, Yan Gongzi stayed in Miss Gu's mansion for the New Year. He couldn't help but guess that maybe there was something peculiar about Miss Gu, which affected Yan Gongzi, so that he had a hexagram that could not be calculated. Who would have thought that he hadn't seen Miss Gu's people yet, but he was tied up first.
He couldn't help but be curious, and as soon as he noticed it, he learned that the girl that Yan Gongzi liked was surnamed Gu and her maiden name was Qingshu, and she was the eldest daughter of the late loyal general Gu Yunhu. He sent someone to get Gu Qingshu's birthday, and wanted to see if Yan Gongzi could marry this Miss Gu as he wished, so he made another hexagram, and the result was an empty hexagram. He was taken aback, and according to the eight characters of his birthday, he made a fortune for this ancient lady, but another empty hexagram came out.
On the first day of the first month of this year, he bathed in incense and burned incense, but the result was still empty. He didn't give up, and he had to try three times a month, but each time it was empty. He couldn't figure it out. Some time ago, I suddenly heard someone talking in private, saying that Yan Gongzi fell in love with a girl and was competing with the Queen Mother.
Daoist Mingji was speechless for a while. He is a god stick, not exactly a god stick, he has some skills, and divination is one of his skills. Whether out of guilt or curiosity, on the first day of the first month of the first month of every year, he has to make a hexagram for his son, that is, divination of bad luck. A few years ago, the hexagram was nothing unusual, and it was able to calculate the good fortune of the young man in a year. But since the beginning of the first month of last year, something has been different, and the result of the divination turned out to be an empty hexagram. He noticed something was wrong, and then tried several more times, but the result was the same, it was still empty.
Zhou Boyan sneered coldly, "Don't look back." ”
Mingji Dao Changqiang swallowed the bitter water that surged into his throat, and slowly opened his eyes, with a sad look in his eyes. He looked at Yan Gongzi standing in front of him with his back hand, sighed for a long time, and said, "Yan Gongzi, the past cannot be traced. What is in the past, let it be! Don't ask, don't check, don't think, just look ahead, don't look back. "He doesn't want his son to die, he wants him to live well. This is his selfishness out of an atonement mentality.
For so many years, the head of Mingji Dao was afraid of the mad queen mother, and he couldn't sleep peacefully every night because of his guilt for the eldest princess. He is not yet in the age of sixties, but he is as old as an old man in his eighties and nineties. He hoped that he would die soon, but he did not dare to cut off his own life. He didn't even have the right to die. He was so guilty that he had to taste the bitter fruit he had sown every day, and live in agony until the day when he would die a natural death.
It can be said that Zhou Boyan's words were not said in vain, and what Zhou Boyan said to Mingji Daoist was all on point.
"It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare a single person." The Queen Mother's suspicion and iron-blooded methods, how can the Mingji Taoist not know! Putting aside the matter of Ping Bohou and Ziyi, every time he thought of the death of the eldest princess, Daoist Mingji felt cold. The eldest princess is the biological daughter of the Queen Mother! As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, but the queen mother forced her own daughter to death because of a deranged and absurd prophecy.
Whether it is Pingbohou or Ziyi, they are all people who have followed the Queen Mother for many years, and they can be regarded as loyal. As long as the seeds of suspicion are planted, there is no need for definite evidence, and the Queen Mother will give up when she says she will give up, and kill if she says kill. The Queen Mother is like this to those who have followed her for twenty or thirty years, let alone other subordinates. When there is doubt, get rid of it. Over the years, the Queen Mother has done this kind of thing.
Ziyi dared to involve Princess Jingyang, damn it. The place where Ziyi met with Ping Bohou was not right, and the timing of Ziyi's killing of Ping Bohou was not right. Not a single qiē is wrong. The Queen Mother felt that Ziyi was deliberate, and Ziyi was a traitor. Therefore, the Queen Mother immediately ordered the killing of Ziyi.
The purple-clothed and the princely met secretly in the Jingyang Princess Mansion. The conversation collapsed, and Ziyi killed Ping Bohou on the spot. Ziyi came according to the instructions of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was furious.
As soon as something happened to Pingbohou's side, the Queen Mother sent Ziyi to keep an eye on Pingbohou's mansion and let Ziyi act at the opportunity. She gave an order: If there is a dissenting heart, then get rid of it.
The appearance of the purple clothes was as usual, but the Queen Mother had a thorn in her heart. The Queen Mother felt that Ziyi was no longer 100% credible. But Ziyi's ability was in front of her, and the Queen Mother didn't have the intention of killing for a while, but she was tempted everywhere.
Ziyi couldn't believe it, but she had to believe it. Because the ice did not deny it. Bing is the Queen Mother's person, so the Queen Mother, who has been loyal to her for many years, is the culprit who killed the man she loved all her life. Ziyi cried a lot, lost his soul for a few days, and then still worked hard for the queen mother, never mentioning the big horse, and also did not mention the ice.
Many years have passed since the Qixiaguan incident, and Zhou Boyan has been looking for Bing, the enemy who killed his father. Later, he found out that the person suspected of ice had appeared next to Ziyi. He found the purple clothes, and sure enough, he saw ice. He stabbed Bing in the chest on the spot with a dagger hidden in his sleeve, and told Ziyi that Bing was the one who killed his father.
Bing went berserk, drew his sword, abandoned the Niangzi Snow guard, rushed over and killed the dead man who killed his daughter, and then rushed out of the battlefield in a frenzy and lost his trace.
"Mother." The thirteen-year-old girl cried out in disbelief as her father's sword passed through her mother's body. The next moment, with a pop, a sword pierced the girl's back and pierced through her chest. The girl's eyes widened, and she fell to the ground the moment the enemy behind her drew her sword, killing her on the spot, and she didn't blink an eye.
Stunned on the spot, the snow guard, whose face was like ashes, suddenly moved, and met the sword with his own body. She looked down at the sword that passed through her chest, then slowly raised her head, staring at the ice with the same dead face and asking, "Why?" ”
At the moment when everyone couldn't react, Bing stabbed out the second sword, and the target was still the eldest princess.
At the time of the Qixia Pass incident, the two guards of Bing and Xue, as the eldest princess's most trusted guards, were naturally around the eldest princess. In the chaos of the war, Ice suddenly rebelled and stabbed the eldest princess with a sword. At that moment, the big horse Zhou Qiao blocked in front of the eldest princess and blocked a fatal sword for the eldest princess. At that time, the scene was chaotic, and the other guards who were close to protect the eldest princess and the concubine were stunned, and the eldest princess hugged the big concubine who was bleeding from her chest and cried very violently, and the fourteen-year-old Zhou Boyan desperately waved the sword in his hand and shouted that his father was trying to rush over.
Unexpectedly, after many years of the incident, Zhou Boyan suddenly told the truth to Ziyi one day, and killed Bing with his own hands in front of Ziyi. Bing and Xue were originally the guards given by the first emperor to the eldest princess on her thirteenth birthday. Bing is a teenager, Xue is a girl, the two are excellent in martial arts, and they have been following the eldest princess since then, and the two have become husband and wife when they become adults.
Back then, Ziyi had a love for the big horse Zhou Qiao, and the Queen Mother knew it, but she never broke it. After the death of the big horse, the purple-clothed watch looked like ashes, and the queen mother also saw it. The Queen Mother has always reused the purple clothes with confidence, because the purple clothes mistakenly believed that Zhou Qiao died at the hands of the former Empress Wuhou, and never suspected the Queen Mother.
Soon, the emperor ordered the Pingbohou Mansion to be sealed. The queen mother couldn't stop the emperor, and she was worried that Ping Bohou would turn back at a critical moment, so she was ready to kill Ping Bohou. This matter, she handed over to Ziyi. She has always been suspicious, and at this time, she not only showed her importance to Ziyi, but also tested Ziyi.
Therefore, when the body of Zhong Li, who should have been dead for several years, appeared strangely and suddenly outside the gate of Zhong Taishi's mansion, even though the emperor gave a gag order to the people below, the queen mother still got the news. The Queen Mother was furious and sent someone to check, only to find out a rough idea. At that moment, the Queen Mother felt that Ping Bohou was no longer reliable, and she had murderous thoughts.
Empress Zhong is a chess piece pinched in the palm of the queen mother's hand, and she is a puppet used to control the harem. Ping Bohou dared to secretly help Zhong Li, that was to help the queen, and bad the queen mother's chess game. Not only that, even if the Queen Mother is playing with the emperor's son to fight for power, she can't tolerate someone cuckolding her emperor's son. This is a great rebellion to defy the imperial power and challenge the majesty of the royal family, which cannot be tolerated by the empress dowager, who is extremely demanding and ambitious.
Zhong Li (Concubine Li), as a harem concubine and the sister of Queen Zhong, actually escaped from the palace under the cover of Pingbohou. After that, Zhong Li secretly cultivated a group of dead soldiers and was loyal to the queen. Not only that, Ping Bohou actually became Zhong Li's guest at the scene, and secretly helped Zhong Li.
Ping Bohou has followed the Queen Mother for many years and can be said to be the Queen Mother's right-hand man. As soon as Zhong Li (that is, Concubine Li) came out, the Queen Mother became suspicious of Ping Bohou, and then became murderous.
"It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare a single person." Yes, this is the life creed that the ambitious Queen Mother believed in. The Queen Mother is suspicious, and her methods are ruthless, whether it is her own people or enemies, once she becomes suspicious, she will order it to be eliminated without blinking her eyes. Ping Bohou is an example, and Ziyi is also an example.
