After Nanzi announced that he would dedicate his life to the Emperor of Heaven, ghosts and gods, and the mountains and rivers of the Song Kingdom, the husband who felt that he had been tricked from beginning to end turned his head fiercely, and glared at Xiang Chao, who was instigating his proposal: "Great Witch? What does this mean? β
Xiang Chao muttered: "The Song Kingdom reveres ghosts and gods, and the Great Witch is the chief priest who serves the Emperor of Heaven and ghosts...... According to tradition, they will never marry. β
Nanzi added above: "So that the prince knows that the Yin people worship ghosts and gods, and there is such a custom in Shangqiu, that is, the eldest daughter of the family does not marry, and is the ancestral hall of the head of the family, which is called a witch, and when she grows up, he will choose the most holy one from the noble witches as the next great witch to maintain the sacrifice to the gods......"
She raised her eyebrows, revealing a trace of worry, this acting skill even Zhao Wuxian, who knew the inside story, couldn't help but want to shoot the case, it was so perfect, at this moment Nanzi was extremely holy.
"Emperor Wuding has no matter how big or small the current affairs are, and he has to ask the ghosts and gods, so he is so strong, since he is so strong, don't dare not come to Heng, don't dare not come to the king. But when it came to Wuyi and Di Xin, because of disrespect for the Emperor of Heaven, the sacrifice was abandoned, which led to the demise of Dayi Shang. Fortunately, the ancestor of the Song Kingdom, Weizi Qiben, was a great witch, and his service to the Emperor was rewarded and he was able to inherit Yin's Sheji. β
But this tradition has been intermittent for nearly a hundred years. The witch customs of the Song Kingdom plummeted, and the good words of the witch were often regarded as absurd madness. Sometimes he was even openly suppressed by the ill-intentioned Quan Chenhua and Xiang. Halfway through her speech, she glanced meaningfully at the Xiang brothers, meaning something.
"The Song Kingdom suffered two major uprisings in a row within thirty years. That's why we don't respect ghosts and gods! Nanzi was afraid and willing to sacrifice his weak body for the future of the Song Kingdom to please the Emperor of Heaven and the ghosts and gods, so that they could stop punishing the Song! β
The husband was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that Nanzi meant that "Nanzi has his own son-in-law", and she had made up her mind to marry herself to an ethereal ghost god!
Even if it was Le Wei, it was the first time that Huang Ying heard of this plan, which made everyone in the palace feel sorry for him, and he also had a little admiration for Nanzi.
Even the husband is such a high-flying person. was also slightly shocked by Nanzi's "sacrificial" attitude, although he despised the old-fashioned customs of the Central Plains, but the worship of witches and ghosts, Wu Guo, who was still in the barbaric era, was still in the wilderness, and Fucha naturally had a kind of awe for the mysterious wizards and ghosts.
"There is such a thing......" he groaned, and for a moment the thought of proposing was shaken.
But not everyone was deceived by Nanzi's performance, and when he heard this, the witty Xiang Wei suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he suddenly realized. This is a conspiracy of Zhao Wuxian and Nanzi!
Xiang Wei knew that the status of the Song Dynasty Wuzhu was relatively high, and there were many kinds of witches, including "big witches, big blessings, small blessings, funeral blessings, dian blessings, curse blessings, witches, male witches, gods" and so on. They have a clear division of labor. Among them, the Great Witch has the greatest power, and is almost the controller of the divine power of the state, such as the funeral sacrifices of kings, queens, nobles, etc., the blessings and disasters of the country, natural disasters, diplomatic wars and other major events. All are in charge of Wu Zhu.
To ask how great is the authority of the Song State Dawu? In the past, when Song Wenjun Bao was in power, there was a doctor named Guan Gu. He used to be engaged in sacrifices in the ancestral temple, but he didn't like it.
Once he went to the shrine. The Great Witch pretended to be a powerful ghost and said angrily to him: "Guan Gu, why can't the Bibi sent meet the specifications required by the etiquette system? Why is the liquor in the vessel unclean? Why are the cattle and sheep used as sacrifices not pure and fat? Why are the four seasons of spring, autumn, winter and summer not on time? Did you do this? Or did the monarch do it? β
In the face of these accusations, Guan Gu did not dare to shirk the monarch, so he could only admit it stubbornly, thinking that he would be reprimanded at most, but the great witch raised his wooden staff and beat him, again and again, and finally beat him to death on the altar!
The Great Witch of the Song Kingdom directly killed the doctor with a rod in front of everyone!
One of the reasons is that the great witch is usually a woman, and her birth status is not high, and there is no clan support behind her.
Now Nanzi wants to dedicate herself to witchcraft as a princess, which is really unheard of......
Xiang Wei can imagine that if Nanzi becomes the next generation of great witches, her words and deeds will take on the color of the will of ghosts and gods, Zhao Wuxian can be driven away, and the Le family and the Huang family can be defeated, but moving down a great witch is as difficult as expelling a monarch, and you have to ask the people of the country if they agree. Now that the Xiang clan is no longer treated by the people, when the time comes, Nanzi casually concocts a spell or divination prophecy, and then raises his arms and shouts, it is easy to incite the people to destroy the Xiang clan.
His heart trembled immediately, and the purpose of today's trip had to change, initially instigating his husband to marry Nanzi and eliminate a strong domestic rival for the Xiang clan. But now, it has become to prevent Nanzi from becoming a great witch, and you must stop her desperately!
Thinking of this, Xiang Wei gritted his teeth, and suddenly stood up and said in a strange voice: "The Great Witch of the Song Kingdom has an heir, which is really something to celebrate, but what makes me wonder is, princess, do you really have such qualifications?" β
β¦β¦
"Princess, do you really have such qualifications?"
As soon as Xiang Wei's question came out, everyone in the hall was very puzzled.
"Da Sima, what do you mean by this?"
Xiang Wei also let go, he said: "The selection of the Great Witch is a major event in the Song Kingdom, and we must be cautious. The princess Nanzi may seem to outsiders to be a lady in the palace, but in fact, she has never been a person who keeps to herself and abides by women's virtues. Her male companions are all over the Song Kingdom, and I wonder which son, Gongsun He Qing, has not been seduced by her, so there are countless people who fall at her feet...... The fourth prince is like this, and even Da Sicheng is one of them, how can such a woman become a great witch? β
Nanzi's face also became cold, and his fists were clenched tightly, but it could be seen to Xiang Wei. This is a sign of weakness of heart.
Zhao Wuxian stood up to defend Nanzi and said, "My Fair Lady, a gentleman. According to Da Sima's meaning, this has become the sin of the princess? β
Xiang Wei saw that Zhao Wuxian also came forward. Thinking that he was in a hurry, he thought he had guessed correctly, and his next words were even more terrifying: "Not only that, if you want to become a great witch, you must be a virgin, but is the princess still perfect?" β
For a while, the crowd in the hall was excited, especially Sima Geng, who yelled at him and scolded: "Brother Zhong." How can you be rude to your princess so much!? β
Xiang Wei ignored his younger brother, raised his head and said, "As far as I know, Zhao Xiaosikou is probably the mistress of the princess!" β
Zhao Wuxian looked at him coldly: "Da Sima is really not amazing, swearing......" He turned his head and nodded slightly towards Nanzi, who was originally a little apprehensive, and Nanzi, who was originally a little apprehensive, was suddenly relieved.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Zhao Wuxian's meaning, Nanzi understands in seconds.
"Da Sima, what evidence do you have?" Everyone in the hall couldn't believe it for a while, and they didn't want to believe it.
The entire hall seems to have become a hall of words for Xiang Wei: "It was about two years ago. That is, when Zhao Xiaosikou was about to leave the Song Kingdom and go to Pushang, that day happened to be the day of the princess and the princess, and it was the night. The ancestor feasted in the palace......"
Everyone fell into memory, and there was indeed such a thing.
At that time, Xiao Si Kou's poem "There is a Beautiful Woman in the East" won the heart of the princess, so she was led to Huangtang by the princess. The two spent the night together, a widow and a woman, and he left at dawn. Since then. The two of you have long hooked up together. For the next two years, they had an ambiguous relationship, with correspondence. If you guess correctly, the two of you are in love with adultery, and I am afraid that during the monarch's state funeral, they also did several things that were unacceptable......"
He is very smart, and his eyeliner is all over the palace and outside, no worse than Nanzi, and even took advantage of the fact that the two sides were allies to bribe Nanzi's cronies, so he knows many things.
His words were conclusive, and the time, place and process could be said in detail, and everyone was suspicious for a while.
"Zhao Xiaosikou, I have my own testimony for this matter, do you admit it?"
Zhao Wuxian raised his head and sighed: "Two years ago?" This matter is indeed there, and I did meet my princess and daughter in the palace......"
"Ha, Zhuqing, he admitted it!"
Seeing that Nanzi's face became pale and he was silent, Zhao Wuxian also pursed his lips and stopped talking, Xiang Wei became more and more proud, and his voice became louder and louder: "That's why you have to be cautious, once you let the ** woman who is not a perfect body take the throne, it will be small to make people laugh, and it will be big to provoke the anger of the Emperor of Heaven and ghosts and gods!" β
But just as he was proud, Xiang Wei noticed that the corners of Nanzi's mouth showed a subtle smile.
"Nanzi really didn't expect that Da Sima, whom I have always respected, would say such a vicious slander, every sentence is unbearable to listen to......" Nanzi raised his head, his eyes were full of anger after the chaste martyr was slandered, where was there half a distraction.
"The Emperor of Heaven and the ghosts and gods will indeed be angry, but for whom they are angry, it is unknown. Nanzi is not a complete body, Da Sima and ask the people behind him! β
"The people behind you?" Xiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then turned around, only to see a black shadow, a blood-red robe, a loose black hair, a pungent smell of herbs, and a ring ring in his ears.
β¦β¦
"Brother Zhong be careful!!"
Xiang Chao hurriedly reminded him, and without saying anything, Xiang Wei knew that danger was coming, which was a look he had never seen before.
The pupils were as black as ink, the whites of the eyes were as white as a fish's belly, and the madness and anger in the red blood, as well as the cold and piercing killing intent. He was only a foot away from the man, and his aggressive gaze seemed to have stabbed him in the face and into his heart like a sword.
Xiang Wei couldn't help but lean back, wanting to retreat far away, but it was too late, and two Song Guojia soldiers who suddenly appeared rushed over from the side and firmly restrained him.
After seeing that the prey was no longer running around, the person behind Xiang Wei did not speak, but his body moved, and he rushed out with an arrow, shaped like a tiger and leopard, and stepped in front of Xiang Wei in one step.
The heavy wooden staff in the man's right hand had already been raised and swung down violently.
With a muffled bang, Xiang Wei suffered a heavy blow to his forehead, and his shocked expression suddenly froze on Song Guoda Sima's face, and then twisted and painful with the deformation and swelling of his head.
"It's you, this ...... That's why ......"
A moment ago, there were exclamations everywhere, but at this moment, the main hall of the Song Palace became quiet.
The vigilance of the husband. The scolding of the carp, the panic of the nest. Le Yu was sluggish, and Huang Ying was stunned. Sima Geng's hesitation, Zhao Wuxian's victory, and the mysterious smile on the corner of Nanzi's mouth, the background of them was the sound of the armor of the Song Palace's armor.
Then, a dull landing sound sounded, and Xiang Wei fell to the ground weakly.
Blood flowed from his forehead, seeped through his bun, and stained the crown of his court robe. It stretched out across the floor and eventually flowed to the feet of the red-robed man......
Xiang Chao knelt on the ground, his fingers trembling and passed it to his brother's nose.
There is an outlet, no intake.
He's dead.
On the first day of October, Xiang Wei, the great Sima of the Song Kingdom, Xiang Wei, who could still be active in the political arena of the Song State for 20 years in history, because he cut down the shade tree of Confucius's lectures in the Song Kingdom, causing Confucius to go into exile again, died in the main hall of the Song Palace so inexplicably!
β¦β¦
Watching my brother be suddenly attacked. Xiang Chao's thinking is sluggish.
A coup, he thought, it must have been a coup d'Γ©tat that had been planned for a long time, and Zhao Wuxian and Nanzi and the others let them enter the Song Palace. It's just a net of thoughts. The younger brother was only the first to suffer, and the next thing was himself, that is, the entire Xiang clan. Even, there is even the prince of Wu. Answer it to this too......
That's right, Prince Wu! Ren Zhao Wuxian and Nanzi are bold. Only Fucha was the one they didn't dare to move, and as soon as they figured it out, Xiang Chao immediately knelt on his knees and hugged Fucha's thigh: "Prince, save me!" β
Ignoring Xiang Chao, who was holding his thighs and shaking desperately, he looked at the Song Palace soldiers who surrounded him and surrounded the Wu people in the middle, as well as the murderer, and his face sank like water: "What do you want?" β
"The second and third sons are a little restless...... Don't misunderstand, it's just a tradition of the Song people themselves, and it's better not to mix with our foreign guests. β
Zhao Wuxian, who planned everything, stood in a position with a smile and didn't think it was a big deal, you must know that a moment ago, he had just been accused by Xiang Wei of being a lover who had done something wrong with Nanzi.
"Tradition?"
"That's right, this is the Great Witch enforcing the law for the ghosts and gods, even if it is Song Gong, there is no way to interfere!"
Sure enough, Nanzi, who was above, pulled the little monarch and bowed downward: "Nanzi has seen the Great Witch." β
That's right, it was the great witch of the Song Kingdom who appeared at the funeral of Duke Song a few days ago and recited "The Conjuring" a few days ago. She was like a nimble black panther, but now she was as quiet as a virgin, standing in front of the unknown Xiang Wei with a cane, and then suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed, and when she stood up again, her frantic eyes gradually turned into clarity.
A hoarse but somewhat divine voice sounded: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the tongue bird, Nanzi is a virgin, this is the ...... I personally checked"
"It can't be!"
Xiang Chao was very puzzled, Xiang Wei had secretly told him about it, and swore that Zhao Wuxian did spend a night with Nanzi two years ago, and even Zhao Wuxian admitted it in public!
One is a young man with strong blood, and the other is a lustful girl who resents Huaichun, how can he do nothing?
"Right Master ......" Zhao Wuxian smiled frankly and innocently: "Haven't you heard of Liu Shimi's Hui of Lu State?" It is a gentleman's essential behavior to sit back and not be chaotic, how can I let the Yanagi clan be beautiful? Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain......"
"There is indeed something that Huang Tang talked about...... But Zhao Xiaosikou and I respect each other and treat each other with courtesy. I was in the curtain that day, and the gentleman of the Zhao family entered the door, and the head of the north was the head. I bowed again from the curtain, and the sound of Huanpeiyu was loud, that's all, how could it be as filthy as you imagined? Nanzi also spat with a look of disdain.
The Great Witch also echoed their words: "I not only verified it with my own eyes, but also engraved this matter on the carapace of the great turtle, and after bathing, I asked the ancestors of the ghosts and gods to verify it, and all I got were auspicious signs......
"Today, however, I came to announce it with great relief, only to hear terrible poisonous words...... The words of men are terrible, especially blasphemous, and the blasphemous words of witches cannot be easily spoken, so the demons and gods are angry, and they possess me, asking me to deal a heavy blow to the rumor-mongers! β
This middle-aged woman, who was at the head of the Song Kingdom's theocracy, coldly swept Xiang Wei under her feet, and Xiang Chao who knelt on the ground and hugged her husband's thighs, trembling.
"The people present told each other, even if it is a deep stream and an old forest, a secluded stream, and no one's place, there are still ghosts and gods monitoring everything, not to mention living in a temple? Therefore, we must not be cautious in what we say and do, and for those who do not respect the gods, the punishment of the ghosts and gods comes so painfully and quickly! β
Everyone present, including the people of Wu State, including Fucha, were all awe-inspiring.
During the reign of Song Wengong, a doctor was killed in the temple by a big witch rod.
In the seventeenth year of Song Jinggong, Meng Dong, who died in the palace of the Song Kingdom, was a dignified minister!
The power of witches and ghosts, even as much? (To be continued.) )
