Chapter 443: Don't Miss the Opportunity
Gu Yunshu thought about it carefully, just now her attention was all on the dress of those people and she didn't pay attention to what she was carrying.
"If it is true that people are sacrificed to the river god, then this custom must be managed." Saying that, she rolled up her sleeves, and always felt that what Du Yue said was a little unbelievable.
"Du Yue, you don't mean that these people want to use that little girl to sacrifice to the river god, right? But how can anyone in this world want to die in vain? Why didn't you hear the child's cry? ”
Gu Yunshu reacted quickly, and always felt that there were a lot of doubts.
Du Yue shook his head: "A few years ago, it was also at this time, someone went to Kyoto from here, and at that time, I heard those people talk about this custom here, but I just thought that they were discussing and playing after dinner, how could someone in this world go to sacrifice a living person to the river god?" But when I saw it today, I remembered what those people said, and I realized that it was true. ”
Gu Yunshu didn't have the heart for the time being: "Yunqing, now you go and find out about this sacrifice to the river god and tell me what is going on?" ”
"Du Yue, now let's stop playing outside, let's go back to the inn and wait for news." Yun Qing was the highest martial artist among them, and after sending him out, they could only go back to the inn and wait slowly.
Mu Qianshan and Hao Yuntian came out of the house after discussing things, and stood in the corridor on the second floor to see them enter the lobby.
"Shu'er, didn't you say you were going out to play? Why did you come back so soon? But played? Mu Qianshan watched her run back in a hurry, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and asked seriously, "But what happened?" ”
Gu Yunshu lifted the corners of his skirt and ran upstairs, he was very anxious, his head was quickly organizing his language, thinking about how to discuss this matter with the prince.
"Too ...... Husband, when I was downstairs just now, I met an interesting team when I went out, and I just thought it was fun, so I wanted to come back and tell you. Seeing that there were many people eating in the lobby, she didn't tell him directly, but sold it.
"Let's go back to the house with me!" He turned and entered the door.
She followed quickly, closing the door and locking it.
"Qianshan, it's amazing, when I just went to the street, I found that there was a team that thought it was juggling on the street, but I heard Du Yue say that it was a team to worship the river god." Gu Yunshu spoke very hurriedly.
"Worship the river god is right! What are you doing in such a hurry? ”
"But they were taking a little girl to the sacrifice! This is a matter of human life, how can it be such a child's play? Gu Yunshu was so angry that she slapped the table.
Why were people in ancient times so stupid?
It is good to have faith.
But you can't do these things that hurt nature and reason.
"Is there such a thing? Why didn't you see the cable county magistrate report? Mu Qianshan slapped the table angrily.
This kind of thing that requires human life must be reported to the emperor by a local county official.
"In the three hundred years since the Great Qi Dynasty opened, it has long been forbidden to joke about human life, especially for such sacrifices, there are still county officials who dare to conceal it and not report it, is it eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall?"
Gu Yunshu didn't quite understand the things in the court, and listening to him say this, he could almost understand that the court had abolished such foolish things. Qianqian
"I've asked Yun Qing to find out carefully, what's going on? We'll have to wait for him to come back, so for the time being we'll have to wait patiently, if anything......"
"Mighty Clouds!" Mu Qianshan shouted into the air.
The man who had just entered the room next to them suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Young Master, but what do you have to order?"
"Well, there was a procession of sacrifices and gods just outside, you can go over and see what the hell is going on? If this is true, the black gauze hat of the county magistrate here can be removed, and the first thing to do is to rescue the person, and this ignorant thinking cannot be allowed to continue. ”
Mu Qianshan's face was serious and serious, he never expected that there would be such a bold and disobedient person.
On the other side, Ouyang Tingfang had just closed the window, and at this time she still felt that her breath was uneven.
"Lord Wang, the concubine just saw that a team in the past seems to be a sacrifice, I'm afraid it's going to be sacrificed to the living!" She remembered that her father had told her before his death that the kings of the Great Qi Dynasty were all very wise and rarely did some foolish things.
Moreover, the law has been stated, and the sacrifice of the living is considered a transgression.
"Oh?? Are you sure you read that right? Prince Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, took a living sacrifice, and the relevant county did not come forward, did he think that the black gauze hat was too stable?
"Let's not do anything about this matter first, and see if there is any movement on the prince's side, this time it is for my father to go south to inspect, if you encounter this, it is impossible to stand by and watch, let's wait and see how he will deal with this matter."
Mu Jingmo didn't want to steal the limelight from the prince.
"But the prince, if you do it, maybe the emperor will remember your good when it reaches the emperor, and now although my father is gone, his former protégé is still on your side, and you still have a chance to win in the end." Ouyang Tingfang felt that this was a good time.
"Why do you say that?" Mu Jingmo wanted to see what she had to say.
"Lord, it seems that we haven't been away from Kyoto for a long time, but one day away, we encountered such a thing, if you meddle in this matter and solve it in front of the prince, it will definitely reach the ears of the emperor, then along the way, the emperor will only think that you are more stable than the prince, and then there will be courtiers to participate for you, isn't it a good thing?"
In Ouyang Tingfang's eyes, her father's wish was to overthrow the crown prince and support Prince Rong to ascend to the throne, and now her father was calculated early and lost his life, but as Prince Rong and the princess, she at least saved her life and survived in the world.
No matter what, as long as there is a chance, she must avenge his family and get rid of the crown prince, which is also her wish......
Mu Jingmo could only snort coldly, and then turned his back to her and continued to read: "Although you are very well-behaved next to me, don't forget that your father's protégé and former ministers will always obey you, here I just want to remind you that as Prince Rong and Princess Rong, your every move represents this king, if not only this king agrees to you to do it privately, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”
"Lord Wang, such a good opportunity, did you miss it in vain?" Ouyang Tingfang felt unwilling when she thought about it, it was obviously an opportunity at your fingertips, why did she miss it in vain?
"If even you, a woman, can understand it, then the king has already overthrown the prince, and you are still here to point fingers?"
finally eased the relationship with the prince, and I don't know why it was so stiff again, Ouyang Tingfang has learned to be obedient, not ostentatious or angry with him, but why does she treat herself so coldly?
No matter how hard she tried, it seemed that the prince didn't have much feeling for herself, and when she called, she came, and when she lingered, she went.
