Section 18 Evergreen and ancient
Many years later, Yao Jin recalled the years she had just crossed, her life seemed to be particularly bad, injuries, all kinds of injuries, falling into the water, falling off cliffs, blindness, all kinds of tragic bombardments, her young and thin little body carried it firmly again and again, and she also appreciated the limitations and miracles of ancient Chinese medicine. Just like this time, she tasted a new herb again, which not only controlled her consciousness and made her confused and at her mercy, but also allowed her to follow a large group of young women with her eyebrows lowered and swayed into the Ming Hall of the Evergreen Palace with a seemingly normal attitude.
The Ming Palace was originally Emperor Wei's bedroom, but this period has almost become a big pharmacy in the Evergreen Palace, not only the imperial doctors gathered here day and night, the medicine stove is also one after another behind the side hall set up, now no one dares to boast that Emperor Wei can be cured, everyone only hopes that Emperor Wei will not hang on his own prescription, that is already the ancestor burned high incense, ten thousand luck.
However, Wei Liang, the patriarch of the Wei clan, who had always been cautious and wise to protect himself, and rarely spoke at the court and rarely contacted the crown prince, suddenly showed great loyaltyβor great ambition. He not only frequently went to the prince's east palace and repeatedly persuaded the prince that since he was already in charge of the country, he should take over the military power, and that the horizontal and vertical military talismans were now in his hands, but also said that since the emperor's situation had reached such a level, the prince should also prepare everything that should be prepared, and he should also develop the power of his mother clan in the previous dynasty, so as not to cause turmoil in the court and China when he succeeded to the throne.
"Now that my father is critically ill, the dense forest army in the country is still ravaging everywhere, the mess in the south has not been cleaned up, and there are riots in various places, where do I have the heart to think about what my uncle said?" The emaciated and haggard Wen Ziwu supported his forehead with one hand, and looked at Wei Liang, who was gray-haired but energetic opposite, "Uncle, say something you don't like to hear, if your father is good one day, he will definitely be furious when he knows your recent behavior." You don't know what kind of methods your father is. β
Wei Liang's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty...... It's still going to be great. β
This sentence is not a question, the tone is more like a statement of facts, Wen Ziwu frowned, pressed his hands on the side of the coffee table and said heavily: "Uncle!"
"Hehe," Wei Liang's laughter was very dry, and the smile on his face was also very reluctant, but he still said earnestly: "Those words just now can be discussed slowly, but the old minister is worried about the emperor's body day and night, and recently finally invited the current great wizard of the witch clan on Qingling, the great wizard has arranged for forty-nine witches to enter the palace, let them wait by the emperor's side day and night to cast spells and pray for His Majesty, and when the time comes, the great wizard will perform the last secret magic on Qingling, and then the emperor will be able to wake up." β
Wen Ziwu has never believed in witches, but the name of the great wizard of Wei has a long history, according to legend, the great wizard was originally a member of the Wen royal family, when the royal heirs were thin, in order to seek the prosperity of the royal family with the secret art of witchcraft, the great wizard has been studying witchcraft for many years and has achieved great achievements, but in order to ensure that this secret art can continue all year round and will not be lost, the great wizard will hide alone in Qingling. For many years, everyone only knew that there was a mysterious Wu clan on Qingling, but very few people had seen it, and the Wu clan rarely had any contact with the Wen royal family.
"This witch clan has not been in contact with the Evergreen Palace for a long time, how can my uncle find them?"
"No matter what the old minister says, he is also the elder brother of the first queen, the affairs of the Wen royal family are also the affairs of the old ministers, how dare you not be unkind?" Wei Liang looked very sure, "Those forty-nine witches have now entered the Evergreen Palace, just wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to nod, and they can enter the Ming Palace to cast spells for the emperor." β
"This ......" Wen Ziwu stood up, very hesitant: "The imperial doctors have exquisite medical skills, and my father has not seen the slightest improvement after these days, these witches don't understand the cause of their father's illness, how to cast spells, how can they save their father?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wei Liang's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly: "Witchcraft is a secret art, and it is two different things from the art of Qihuang, what is the mystery of the witch clan's magic, it is the secret of the witch clan, and outsiders naturally don't know." And the witches cast spells, neither need to touch the emperor, nor use any decoction or spices, all actions are under our noses, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still afraid that those little witches can murder the emperor?"
Wen Ziwu was a little shaken, but he instinctively disliked witchcraft, and still said: "The Wen royal family has not had contact with the Wu clan for many years, and it is not a trivial matter to deal with the emperor's dragon body. β
"Your Royal Highness, Your Highness, now that the emperor is in danger, there will be a danger to your life anytime and anywhere, if you are still so hesitant, in case the emperor suddenly - then you will bear the infamy of great unfilial piety?"
"This, I'm ......" Wen Ziwu rubbed his hands, hesitated for a moment, thinking that even if it was useless, as long as Emperor Yu Wei was harmless, he didn't care, and finally said: "Okay! Then let those witches enter the Ming Hall tomorrow! It's just the same, you can't use any spices or medicines, let alone touch your father, and all actions must be under the permission of the imperial doctors!"
"Yes, the old minister respectfully obeys the prince's warrant. With his very satisfied smile, Wei Liang bowed his head and withdrew from the East Palace.
Early in the morning of the second day, twenty-three young girls dressed in gray clothes and feet walked into the Ming Palace, their expressions were serious, their eyes seemed to be always outside the world, neither spoke nor expressionless, knelt under the dragon couch in two circles, and then closed their eyes, and their lips buzzed and began to cast spells.
Although it is not uncommon for the palace to invite Taoist priests and mages from outside to do it, but in this situation here and now, the courtiers who came to ask for peace couldn't help but discuss:
"I heard that the witch clan on this Qingling is very mysterious, and this witchcraft is also a close ...... of the evil sect."
"It seems that the emperor's body has reached a very critical juncture, and even the people of the Wu clan have come. β
"This is what Uncle Wei found, the prince personally nodded and agreed, I heard that the concubine was very unhappy about this matter!"
"The Yang family of the mother family of the concubine Niangniang has always been at odds with the Wei family, in the past, Queen Wei passed away, and the Wei family was almost silent in the court, His Royal Highness the Prince naturally respected the noble concubine Niangniang, and I heard that the Yang family and the Li Dynasty fell to the Xishan Palace, which is also somewhat related, so even the Yang family also has a face, and now in this situation, the Li Dynasty Xishan King has fallen, and Uncle Wei is the prince's uncle, which is not the same. β
"If the emperor is healthy, no one will dare to hit these little ninety-nine under his nose, but ......"
"This Great Wei sky, I'm afraid it's going to change!"
