Chapter 489: Witch Gu

At that time, I didn't understand how such a villain produced its power, and my grandfather told me that this was feudal superstition, and if this kind of thing could kill people, then why should there be guns and ammunition? Directly making the opponent's enemies into witch villains, is it a spell, isn't it a big victory?

And this habit still existed in the current dynasty, until the imperial system was overthrown, this evil magic disappeared from the table, but it was secretly used among the people, whether the actual effect of witchcraft can really make people crazy to death, there is no scientific basis at all.

My grandfather once told him such historical knowledge, this witch Gu used to be a common way for women to vent their personal anger when they hated each other.

This witch Gu also has an extremely shocking story in the history of the previous dynasty - the scourge of witch Gu.

In the Han Dynasty, court women and aristocratic women used witchcraft to vent their dissatisfaction out of jealousy, which made this superstitious consciousness seriously invade the life of the upper class.

The Witch Plague was a major political event that occurred in the late reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when it was believed that if the sorcerer was sacrificed or buried in the ground with a puppeteer, the cursed person would have a disaster.

In the second year of Zhenghe, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was accused of witch curse Emperor Wu and adultery with Princess Yangshi. Emperor Wu's favored minister Jiang Chong was ordered to investigate the witch Gu case, and used torture and framing to force people to confess, and the ministers and the people were frightened and arbitrarily accused others of crimes, and tens of thousands of people died as a result.

Jiang Chong and the crown prince Liu had a gap, so he took the opportunity to frame the prince, and with the case Hou Han Shuo, the eunuch Su Wen and other four people framed the prince, the prince was afraid, raised troops to kill Jiang Chong, and was later suppressed by Emperor Wu and defeated, the queen Wei Zifu and the prince Liu Ju committed suicide one after another. Huguan Sanlao and Tian Qianqiu and others wrote a letter to sue the prince for injustice, and Emperor Wu, who finally came to his senses, Yijiang Chong and the three clans, burned Su Wen to death. He also built a "thinking palace" and made a "platform for returning to look at thoughts" at the place where the prince was killed, in order to mourn. Hundreds of thousands of people were implicated in this incident, and it is known as the scourge of witchcraft.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an outstanding statesman in Chinese history who made important contributions to the emergence of the prosperous Han Dynasty, and he reigned for 54 years. After Emperor Wu achieved an obvious victory in the use of foreign troops, he began to be complacent, believing that he could not live forever and did whatever he wanted, which led to drastic changes in the class contradictions and the contradictions between the ruling classes at that time.

With the high concentration of power, he became more and more authoritarian and self-serving. He did not hesitate to resort to violence against those who violated his prohibitions or who he considered disloyal, mercilessly, even to the most important members of the court.

The witch curse of Emperor Wu's period began in the fifth year of Yuanguang and ended in the third year of Zhenghe, until Prime Minister Liu Quyu was killed. The fuse of the witch curse was the case of Gongsun He's father and son. The length and impact of such a prison case, which mainly targeted the slaughter of flesh and blood, is rare in Chinese history, and it has shaken the foundation of the previous dynasty's governance of the country.

It can be seen that this kind of thing, in a harem, how big the impact should be?!

Ye Jinyu quickly churned in his mind to find a way to exonerate himself,

Although you didn't do it yourself, if you don't get away with it, no one will believe that you are innocent.

When the three palace maids saw the little person thrown by the imperial concubine, their faces turned pale with fright, this is a witch Gu, and it is clearly a witch Gu that is cursing people.

Ye Jinyu has also realized the seriousness of this incident, and he can't confess it anyway, "Back to the Holy Mother and the Imperial Princess, this little thing was not made by me,"

The imperial concubine was angry again, and shook her head helplessly, "The mourning family knows, you will not admit it to the mourning family." You've never willingly admitted your mistakes. ”

"Back to the Holy Mother, this thing is really not made by the concubine, the concubine will not do such a thing, and the concubine does not need to do such a thing."

The imperial concubine was already so angry that her face turned pale, "But, the curse on it is the word you wrote, right?!" ”

Ye Jinyu looked at it, this font is really very similar, but he hasn't written this thing. I don't even know what those words are.

"Back to the imperial concubine, the words on this have never been written by the concubine, or it is unknown if the person with ulterior motives imitated the font of the concubine."

The imperial concubine said angrily: "So, this witch Gu appeared in your court and was placed under your own bed, and you didn't know it at all?" You've got everything off the hook with these two sentences! Someone else is wronging you for these things, isn't it?! ”

Ye Jinyu raised his eyes and looked at the imperial concubine whose face was already angry and was about to change, "Back to the imperial concubine, yes, the concubine is wronged, and the concubine really doesn't know anything about the origin of this witch Gu." ”

And so it was! You're really clever at talking! What happened in your Yanxi Palace, can it still be that the mourning family can't do it?! ”

"You concubine! Do you know how much this witch Gu is forbidden in the harem of this dynasty, once the initiator is discovered, there will be no forgiveness! Even if you dare to touch such strict rules, today, no matter who the person you curse is, since the mourning family has found out, you must practice the rules of the founding emperor! ”

"While the mourning family is still a little patient with you, quickly confess your guilt, and the mourning family will give you the whole corpse, if not, don't blame the mourning family for dividing your five horses!"

When the three palace maids heard that they were going to 'split the corpses of the five horses', they were frightened and 'ah......, Ye Jinyu also "chuckled" in his heart when he heard it, and his face immediately sweated, this matter is really too strange, I just want to justify, I don't know where to start first, hurry up and think of a way, how can I explain it clearly?

was in a stalemate, and the emperor's father-in-law ran into the courtyard, went to the imperial concubine, and said, "The slave has seen the imperial concubine." The emperor had just had dinner and knew that something had happened in Yanxi Palace and was going this way. ”

The emperor is here, but I don't know if he will help himself, if he pleads like the last time the 'aphrodisiac incense' incident, it would be better to come by himself, and now he is still carrying the charges and living in a daze. 61 Library

Ye Jinyu knelt forward, "Back to the Holy Mother and the Imperial Concubine, the concubine will not be a woman." To make such a villain, the skills of the concubine cannot be reached. ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Li Sui and walked in lightly.

Ye Jinyu hurriedly bowed down to Li Sui, Li Sui glanced at her, and walked to the imperial concubine to say goodbye, "Erchen has seen the concubine." ”

The imperial concubine's face was full of displeasure, and her brows were tightly wrinkled,

"Your Majesty, take a look, this is the woman personally selected by the emperor himself, you included her in the harem, and also made a nobleman, and placed her in the Yanxi Palace closest to you, look at what she does every day?"

The imperial concubine said, and instructed the palace maid to bring the little man on the ground,

Li Sui looked at the little man who was full of sewing needles, his face suddenly turned cold, his brows furrowed, he glanced at Ye Jinyu who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Your Majesty, the emperor has set clear rules for such things, and once it is found and confirmed, there will be no forgiveness for killing. She dares to violate such palace rules, how can the mourning family not deal with her?! ”

Ye Jinyu hurriedly raised his head and said eagerly: "Imperial concubine, your majesty, it's not that the concubine excuses herself, the concubine really won't be popular." Concubines can't be such villains. ”

The imperial concubine also stepped forward, "Even the ability to get on the horse and gallop, you are a woman who does better than men, the mourning family, how can you believe that you will not be a female celebrity, if you keep pretending that you can't, what can the mourning family do with you?!" Leaving all this aside, then why, your words are written on this villain? Do you want to bring all the papers on your table to you to testify?! ”

Ye Jinyu had to emphasize again: "Back to the imperial concubine, back to the emperor, it is not a difficult thing to imitate a person's font, as long as the person with ulterior motives gets my words, they can imitate my font, write on it, and frame me." The concubine and the imperial concubine are just the elders and juniors who have just met, and there is not much contact at all, and the concubine is full of awe of the imperial concubine in her heart, and there is no reason to curse the imperial concubine. Moreover, the concubine has been busy getting close to Mingyue recently, and she has no heart to do other things. ”

Li Sui listened, his brows furrowed even tighter, but he still didn't say a word, he turned around and looked at Ye Jinyu's three palace maids who were kneeling on the ground, the three of them were already so frightened that their faces were as white as paper, their heads were lowered, and no one dared to say anything.

"It's useless to quibble here in the mourners! This witch Gu was found in your palace, and the words on it are your handwriting, according to the palace rules, you must be imprisoned in the heavenly prison today! ”

The imperial concubine said, and didn't look at Li Sui again, "Someone!" Put the noble Jing into the prison for the mourning family! Wait for the fall! ”

Ye Jinyu heard the "buzz" of her head, this old woman, this really wants her own life, she looked up at Li Sui who was standing aside, Li Sui looked at her coldly, and said nothing.

Oh, my God? Do you believe that I am a person who will use such indiscriminate methods as "witch magic"?

Ye Jinyu's brows furrowed slightly, and Li Sui immediately turned his face away,

Ye Jinyu's tears that she had endured for a long time fell down cracklingly, she stood up, the two fathers-in-law were already going to come over to pull her, Ye Jinyu shouted: "Don't touch me!" I'll go myself! ”

Looking back at Li Sui's back, "I wouldn't do such a thing, no matter who wants to kill me and let me die, I won't use this kind of indiscriminate means." Ye Jinyu is wronged! ”

Li Sui slowly turned around and looked at Ye Jinyu's back as she walked away, she was still gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. T

He felt that his heart was suddenly blocked by a big rock, and it was very difficult to breathe.

The imperial concubine watched Ye Jinyu being taken away, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you to issue a holy decree and execute her." ”

When the imperial concubine spoke, she seemed to be very dissatisfied with Li Sui's criticism of Ye Jinyu just now.

didn't say anything to Li Sui again, and walked out of Yanxi Palace with the help of the personal palace maid.

Li Sui stepped out of the palace gate of Yanxi Palace, stood in the courtyard, looked at the swing under the plane tree, constantly fluttering gently in the wind, he walked over, gently held it with his hand, looked at the swing and was silent for a long time, before turning around and leaving quickly, Xiao Chen's father-in-law followed behind, and did not know what the emperor was thinking at this time.

******

The day after tomorrow is the autumn hunt, but Jing Guiren was locked up at this time.

What's going on? If this is to let the envoys of Loulan know that the chickens and dogs in our harem are jumping, don't laugh at their big teeth?

Moreover, this emperor's brother took this Ye Jinyu to heart, a little nobleman not only gave a word, but he also called it out, and more than a dozen women have entered the harem one after another, and the imperial brother has really never looked like this.
