The rumors of Yang Jieyu in the palace have been spreading, and when the emperor Zixuan was in the early dynasty, some officials even wrote a letter to put Yang Jieyu, the demon concubine, in the treasury for disposal.

Yang Jieyu's father, Yang Zhong, served in the treasury, so he naturally disagreed with this statement. Especially when I saw that the man said that his baby daughter was a demon concubine, he directly confronted that person in the court.

"Heh, Master Xue, I think you are a traitor!" Yang Zhong scolded sideways, and then turned his head unwilling to see the face of Xue Zheng, the secretary of the military department.

"Okay, I have my own decision on this matter, no need to quarrel anymore." Huangfu Zixuan had a headache.

This matter was originally the emperor's family affair, and rumors were spreading, but the fact was that Yang Jieyu was rescued by nobles and had returned to the palace safe and sound.

However, Yang Zhong loves his daughter very much, and he also knows how much this matter has an impact on the Yang family and Yang Jieyu, and he must take action in this matter and think of a way for his daughter.

Soon after, Yang Zhong went to Jiuzhai to visit and discuss the matter with the Buddha and the young master.

Mrs. Shi knew it in her heart, so she was naturally not worried at all, but Yang Zhong didn't know how to block the mouths of Youyou, and it was expected that no matter how much power he had in the treasury, he couldn't stop people from spreading rumors, right? Yang Zhong had a headache.

"Mrs. Shi, this matter is very important, it is related to the fate of the contemptible little girl and the Yang family, this ...... What should I do? Now that someone in the court has impeached the official, and there are remarks that Niangniang is a demon concubine, it is really difficult to do. ”

Mrs. Shi smiled, asked Lord Yang to sit down, and went to find an object by herself. And take the object and show it to Lord Yang.

Yang Zhong was surprised to take the clay sculpture in Shitai's hand, not understanding Shitai's meaning. I just took this clay sculpture and looked at it carefully for a while. There's nothing special about it, it's just a very ordinary clay statue of a lady.

"Master Tai this? What does that mean, exactly? ”

"Lord Yang, look at ......" Shi Tai took the clay sculpture of this lady from Yang Zhong's hand, and put a trident above the orchid clay hand of this clay sculpture.

Put the trident, and then look at the appearance of this lady, some devil Yaksha, and then put this lady's clay sculpture under the lotus base, and there is a living Buddha and immortal state.

The contrast between the two has formed a world of difference. Yang Zhong immediately understood what Shitai meant.

Mrs. Shi's move is to tell Yang Zhong that although Yang Jieyu was maliciously spread rumors in the palace and was rumored to be a demon concubine, why not push the boat with the water? People like these ghosts and gods, so just follow what people say and find a suitable opportunity to make Yang Jieyu turn over.

After Yang Zhong said goodbye to his master, he pondered it carefully and had a score in his heart. After being introduced, he went to the imperial capital, the high priest Shamanhua.

Yang Zhong took his subordinates to Shamanhua's priest's hall to knock on the door, explained his identity, and entered Shamanhua's priest's hall, but he didn't see Shamanhua himself, and it was her eldest disciple Shen Che who received Shamanhua.

Shamanhua is a male priest, but his disciple Shen Che is a female priest, and his disciples are divided into two categories, one is the main divine power, and the other is the main magic power, which is divided into holy maidens and witches. The female disciple Shen Che is the holy daughter of the main divine power.

Shen Che knew that the person in front of him was Yang Zhong, the young attendant of the treasury, and he treated Lord Yang with great respect, and he did not have the appearance of the person who usually presided over the divine sacrifice.

"Why did Lord Yang come here? You can tell me later, and I'll tell you when Master comes back. ”

"This time I came here for the sacrificial ceremony in the palace, I wonder if there is still a shortage of disciples under the high priest's door? Or a priest of the aco-priests? ”

Hearing this, the priestess Shen Che thought that Yang Zhong was going to participate in the sacrifice: "This is not difficult, just place a place for Lord Yang at will." ”

The participation of officials in the court in the sacrifice is a precedent that has been set for a long time, and the court strongly encourages the court officials to participate in the sacrifice, but why did Lord Yang go there himself?

Shen Che was puzzled, and Yang Zhong said again: "Yang Jieyu in the palace is the daughter of the lower official, I wonder if she can participate in the sacrificial ceremony?" ”

Shen Che nodded and smiled: "Of course you can, why not?" It's just that Yang Jieyu is a palace concubine, and she needs His Majesty's approval, and the rest is easy to say. ”

"It is appropriate to obtain Your Majesty's permission, and the lower officials will write to ask Your Majesty's approval, but it is just a holy woman...... What the lower officials wanted was not for Yang Jieyu to participate in the sacrifice, but not for the auxiliary sacrifice, but for the main sacrifice standing at the highest place of the altar. ”

The Celebrant?

Shen Che only knew that in general, the large-scale sacrificial activities in the palace were presided over by Master Sha Manhua, or his eldest disciple Shen Che was the main sacrifice instead of Master. Then there is the former Dynasty Shogong Empress Hui Minxin in charge. There has always been no harem concubine, that is, the concubine is in charge.

Yang Jieyu is in a mediocre position in the palace, and it is not impossible to get the emperor's approval to set a precedent, since Yang Jieyu's accident, she is called the demon concubine. It is impossible for him to appear as the presiding priest of such a sacred sacrificial ceremony.

Shen Che was a little embarrassed, this matter could not be decided by himself, he could only wait for the master to come back and make a decision. So he tactfully told Lord Yang that this matter would have to wait for Master Sha Manhua to come back before making a decision, and respectfully sent Lord Yang away.

Yang Zhong knew everything in his heart, said goodbye to the priestess Shen Che, listened to the instructions of the master, informed Yang Jieyu in the palace of all the things by letter, and then waited quietly and patiently at home.

The high priest Sha Manhua was not in the sacrificial hall, but he stayed at the Jiuzhai place on Sanquan Road for a long time, and saw an old man, who was the Buddha Hina Shitai.

Sha Manhua's original name was Gu Ling, and he was originally under the abbot of Gengqing with the Buddha and the young master, and his legal name was Wuyuan. The divination skills of the Buddha Chick Master Tai were also learned from the abbot of Gengqing, and Sha Manhua was the same, but these were not well learned, and they were not as good as the Buddha Chick Shitai.

It is said that the family should quit the six desires, but Gu Ling was moved by his junior sister, and after the abbot of Gengqing saw the clues, he persuaded Wuyuan and the Buddha to return to the world, but the Buddha was already pessimistic about the world and had few desires. Unwilling to indulge in the love of men and women, he did not accept Wu Yuan's intentions.

Wu Yuan returned to the world, restarted his life of Gu Ling, and later worshiped under the high priest of the previous dynasty, became a priest in the palace, and inherited the name of the high priest Shamanhua.

Gu Ling thought that he would not meet the original junior sister in this life, but he didn't expect that Master Buddha would take the initiative to make an appointment, and Gu Ling came as a matter of course.

When Gu Ling saw the Buddha Chick, he still had the feeling of falling in love at first sight, and he couldn't wait to talk to the little junior sister for three days and three nights, but the Buddha Chick Master was too close to him, so he went straight to the point and didn't talk nonsense.

"Senior brother, I asked you to come here rashly because I had something to ask for."

With a sentence of senior brother, Gu Ling's heart is about to melt, and no matter what request she makes at this time, Gu Ling is also satisfied. When the Buddha told Gu Ling about her request to let Yang Jieyu in the palace be the chief priest, Gu Ling's excited and cheerful expression became low and fell into deep thought.

There is no provision in the palace for the concubine to be in charge of the high priest, and the high priest in charge has to be the queen of the main palace at the very least, a small Jieyu position, I am afraid it will be difficult to do.

The Buddha Chick Master knew that Gu Ling was in a dilemma, but there was also a solution to this matter, so he only cooked good tea and asked Gu Ling to think of a way by himself.

Gu Ling thought for a while and told the Buddha Chick: "If you call an ordinary palace concubine to be the chief priest, there is only one way, and that is to fake the scene of the appearance of the gods, so that everyone thinks that it is God's decision to let Yang Jieyu preside over the high priest, and it is reasonable for the gods to appear." It's not that hard. ”

Master Buddha smiled too contentedly, and diligently poured tea and handed it to Senior Brother Gu Ling. Gu Ling had never seen such an active enthusiasm for her junior sister who was cold to her, and she had a fluttering feeling.

Coming out of Jiuzhai, Sha Manhua still felt a little reluctant, remembering the entrustment of his sister Buddha Chick, so he hurried back to the priest's hall to deal with this matter.

Back at the priest's hall, the female disciple Shen Che told her master Sha Manhua that Yang Zhong, the young attendant of the treasury, had come and wanted to ask Yang Jieyu if she could participate in the priesthood and serve as the chief priest.

Shen Che thought that the master would be angry and would never agree to such a ridiculous request.

I didn't think about it, but the master agreed without asking too much.

Sha Manhua roughly told his disciple Shen Che about the plan of forging the god elephant and the Heavenly Chosen Jieyu. Without waiting for Shen Che to ask clearly, he instructed Shen Che to send the high priest's costume to Yang Jieyu's residence, and sent his disciple Ern to Yang's mansion to inform Yang Lord Sha Manhua's decision.

Yang Jieyu was in the palace, she didn't know anything about what was happening outside the palace, she first received a letter from her father, read the content of the letter, and didn't care about it, and it didn't take long for the priestess Shen Che to visit and send the chief priest of the sacrifice ceremony.

Yang Jieyu instantly understood that her father wanted to help her name correct herself, change from the title of "demon concubine" to "saint", and tell the people who spread Yang Jieyu's rumors to completely shut up.

Soon, Yang Jieyu often went in and out of the priest's hall to study without the knowledge of the concubines. Sun Guiren came to look for Yang Jieyu, but he couldn't find Yang Jieyu. felt very strange, and later Sun Guiren picked the time to wait for Yang Jieyu to come back, and then he knew that the Yang family was preparing for this matter.

Only Yang Jieyu herself and Sun Guiren knew about it in the palace until the day of the priestly ceremony in the palace came.

In the annual priestly ceremony, the queen mother, the emperor and the empress sit in a high position, the harem concubines sit in a low position, and the civil and military officials should be all together, standing on both sides, and paying homage to the emperor and queen.

The royal relatives and the royal family are also on par with the concubines. General Huo, who was named the general of the protector of the country by the imperial court, has a special status, and also sits on the throne of the clan to show his attention.

Sun Guiren first glanced at General Huo's position, and when Princess Changnan signaled, he returned the salute. Shu Jue, the little county lord who I haven't seen for a long time, also appeared at the priest ceremony, looking a little sullen, Sun Guiren saw the little county lord, but Shu Jue didn't seem to have found Sun Guiren's figure.

Sun Guiren asked the maid Yu'er to send her a stack of Shujue's favorite hawthorn rock candy paste to her, Yu'er walked to the position of the lord of Shujue, and then pointed in the direction of Sun Guiren. Shu Jue immediately cheered when she saw Sun Guiren, and regardless of the face of the princess and princess, she ran directly to Sun Guiren's seat.

Sitting next to Sun Guiren is Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen has a cold temperament, never approachable, and when she saw the lively and jubilant little county lord coming over, she even chose food for the little county lord for the first time.
