Text Chapter 266 Mo Lu is Liu Lang from now on
In the world, if you look at some of the things that happened a long time later, you will find that there are many regrets that could have been avoided, and many misunderstandings that could have been explained. But there is no regret medicine in the world, what is missed is missed, this is the ruthlessness of time.
The specific details of this great change that happened in Weiyang Palace are not known to outsiders, and there is no clear record in various historical books. But its impact is very far-reaching, through this incident, not only cleared a group of dark forces hidden in the Weiyang Palace, but also gradually uncovered some historical fog.
And what makes Yuan Zhao most relieved is that his blood has not been shed in vain, the curse of the witch Gu, the most vicious flower in the world, has not been able to take root and sprout in the Weiyang Palace, although he does not dare to guarantee what will happen in the future, but at least from the current point of view, the emperor Liu Che did not take the struggle of the witch Gu in this form too seriously, as long as it will not rise up because of this and implicate the innocent, then his goal will be achieved.
When the people close to him who heard the news came to the Changle Marquis Mansion from all over the place, Yuan Zhao didn't say much to them, and it was not good for everyone to know about such a thing. It was only one afternoon, when he wanted to hear what the master father knew about those forces, that he revealed some of them to the wise man.
The master father Yan, who has been in the world for a long time, really knows a lot, although he doesn't know very well, but from some old legends, he combined his own speculation and told Yuan Zhao some useful news.
After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, a large number of royal descendants, princes and nobles of the Six Kingdoms went into exile, and then they finally gathered together and formed a huge organization with their own goals of recovering the country, which is the origin of the hidden gate of Kyushu in the world.
Although most of the wealth of the Six Kingdoms was annexed by the Qin State, there were not a few left, which were enough to support their development and expansion. And among the descendants of the Six Kingdoms who have hatred for their families and the country, there are also many amazing and brilliant people. Therefore, taking advantage of the war at the end of Qin, they absorbed warriors, accumulated strength, and grew rapidly.
During that period of time, there were many heroes who competed for hegemony, but they were actually from the hidden door, and their goal was to win the world, and then each of them restored their homeland. However, the destiny of heaven was returned, and in the end, this world was finally won by Liu Bang, a low-born Peicheng official. The people in the hidden door just made wedding clothes for others.
Originally, they didn't have much hostility towards Liu Bang, and the common goal at that time was still Tyrannical Qin. And there were many soldiers from hidden families who received orders to serve in the Han army. There was an opportunity that made them ecstatic, and it was also the closest they came to their goal of rehabilitation.
At the most difficult time of the struggle between Chu and Han, the people in the hidden sect saw the opportunity and sent the most eloquent people to carry a lot of money, and persuaded the favored ministers of the Han king to eat him, so that he offered Liu Bang, the king of Han, a plan to divide the descendants of the six kingdoms to fight against Xiang Yu. Liu Bang listened to Li Shiqi's words, agreed to this matter, and had already engraved the royal seals of the six countries, and was about to send envoys to go separately, but he didn't expect to be urgently stopped by the adviser Zhang Liang.
After listening to this think tank's analysis of the situation at that time, Liu Bang regretted it, and hurriedly recovered the envoys, destroyed the engraved royal seal, and secretly killed all the debaters sent by the hidden gate. Since then, the ungrateful Han Ting has also become the great enemy of the hidden door.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, who knew that he was at a loss, launched a crazy purge of the people in the hidden door, because he knew what kind of power they had. In the battles of strangulation of heroes in the early Han Dynasty, there was a secret that could not be made public, that is, these meritorious generals actually had more or less hidden shadows.
Although the Hidden Gate has endured repeated blows and massacres, many people have died. But there were still many forces, secretly remained, they went underground, in order to make the unified Han Dynasty back into division, so as to create a chance for them to regain the country, they began to plan all kinds of rebellions and assassinations again and again. Although it has not been successful, it has persevered and continued.
This rebellion in the Weiyang Palace is their latest plan. For this operation, preparations have been secretly made for several years. Originally, the plan was very tight, and they prepared two sets of plans, assassination and witchcraft.
Even if the assassination fails, as long as the seed of the witch curse is buried in the hearts of the people in Weiyang Palace, the plan will be considered successful. In the eyes of the leader of the Hidden Gate, even if everyone involved in this matter died for it, it would be worth it. Because of today's suspicious character and various contradictions in the palace, they have long understood it clearly.
However, what people didn't expect was that because of the sudden appearance of a person, the operation failed again, and most of the people involved died, and another person's name was added to the list of enemies of the hidden gate.
Time turns, back to the Jiaofang Hall a few days ago when the snow fell. When the broken jade Feiqiong who was spread all over the ground was trampled by her footsteps, Empress Chen, who was sitting facing east, turned her face, and when she saw the emperor for the first time, the first thought that sprung up in her heart turned out to be, did he remember the past of the two of them when the snow fell?
However, the next moment, her smile immediately froze on her face. The emperor didn't come alone, there were a large number of palace guards with swords, Yulin troops and foreign ministers! The outside and around the Jiaofang Hall have been tightly surrounded, and the palace maids and attendants have been gathered together from all over the place by the Yulin Army, and they are not allowed to talk and move around.
Seeing this menacing posture, the people in the backyard fell to the ground one after another, trembling and not knowing what was going on. The snow fell one after another, and soon it covered the people with a layer of white, but no one dared to move the slightest.
Walking from the corridor of the hall to the pavilion in the courtyard, but twenty or thirty paces away, the emperor's face was as gloomy as the sky, and in this short journey, he walked forward step by step, leaving deep footprints in the snow, and felt very heavy.
Empress Chen, dressed in a bright red outfit, stood on the steps of the pavilion, watching the person on the other side gradually come over, the snowflakes somewhat blocked the vision, and the eyes were a little blurred, the person who grew up with him felt so strange at this moment. She didn't know what he wanted to do, but she was inexplicably sad in her heart.
No matter how long the road in the world is, there will eventually come to an end, and no matter how high the mountain, there will be a day when they will climb it, but their kindness has been consumed in this passing year. There is a thick barrier that can no longer be broken, if you don't say I won't ask, from now on I will be stranger, and I will give up the joys and sorrows!
"Why did the Emperor come?"
There was snow between her eyebrows, and she didn't salute, so she stood there and asked with a cold expression. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to be the pampered and willful Gillian again, instead of a queen who lowered her eyebrows and pretended to be generous!
"Yesterday there was an assassin in the palace, and I can't search for it, this is a big trouble in the palace, and I will get it! Since the queen didn't let the guards and others search the Jiaofang Palace, I had to search it myself. ”
Two feet apart, as if separated by the end of the world. The Emperor's words were colder than air.
The palace attendants at their feet all knelt there motionlessly, not daring to raise their heads, even Chu Yu was the same. The queen's hands in the red sleeves were clenched tightly, and her long nails pierced her palms, but she didn't feel any pain.
"The Jiaofang Hall is given by the ancestors, even in such a place, do you want people to come in and trample on it at will?"
"Humph! That's why I'm all the more important to keep it safe, so as not to hide dirt and tarnish the reputation of my ancestors. ”
As the supreme emperor in the world, at this moment, he is just an ordinary man. After listening to the informant's words, he already had some faith in his heart, and the more he walked along the way, the more resentful he became, and his mind was full of just a thought, she dared to betray him! At this moment, under the anger, it is natural to say nothing.
"Y-What do you say? What hides filth and dirt...... You bastard! ”
There was silence all around, and everyone didn't dare to come out. There is only the sound of falling snow. Empress Chen's face turned whiter than snow, and a line of tears dripped from the corners of her eyes. She didn't believe that such words came from the emperor's mouth, but she had heard it with her own ears, and she was absolutely not mistaken. He is no longer Liu Lang, who was once a childhood sweetheart, he is a ruthless and unrighteous emperor!
The Emperor looked at her expressionlessly, not knowing what was going on in his mind, and a trace of pain flashed out of the corner of his eye, and no one noticed it. Then he waved his hand, and two guards came over with the eunuch named Duan Li.
"Say what you said to me in the palace again, in front of the queen, not a word is missing!"
When the attendants in the Jiaofang Hall quietly peeked in, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, of course they all knew the deputy chief who was standing in front of them, but they didn't know what he had said to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to omit a word of the little Duan Li. I was on duty in the Jiaofang Palace, and I saw that in the queen's bedroom, there was a man in white...... It's true! As for what exactly was done, the little one didn't dare to guess. ”
When he said this, it was really earth-shattering! Not to mention that the assassin currently being tracked down is a man dressed in white, but that a man appeared in the queen's bedroom, and this person is not the emperor, which is already a shocking event.
All the palace people present were eager to bury their heads in the snowdrifts, unable to hear or see anything. Whether such a palace secret is true or not, those who know about it are destined to end well.
The queen's face turned white and red, red and white, and after several changes, her heart was full of shame and indignation, but she didn't know how to defend herself. After a while, she forced down many emotions in her heart and opened her mouth coldly.
"Your Majesty, when did we get to where we are now? Trust each other needs to be at the mercy of a minion! ”
"This matter is related to the safety of the entire Weiyang Palace, so I must find out. Queen, I only believe what I see with my own eyes now, what else do you have to say? ”
"Alright! Since you really want to know clearly, then I also have a clear conscience. What are those things...... Chu Yu can testify for me, it's not what you think at all! ”
Empress Chen endured endless shame and looked at Chu Yu, who knew and cared best. Weiyang never sleeps, and the palace flowers are lonely and red. Although it is a bit embarrassing to say those things between the two of them, it is not a big deal, she has always been a tsundere who dares to say it.
"Queen Mother, Chu Yu doesn't know anything, the maid is just an ordinary palace maid, she doesn't dare to say a word in front of His Majesty......!"
In the splendid and prosperous Weiyang Palace, the snow is flying all over the sky, the ice is biting, and some people are heartbroken!
