Chapter 374: Roundabout
"Nan Yuelan is pregnant." Empress Dowager Qi had already hesitated, and complained slightly, "The sect master shouldn't let people go, her ability is not small, but it is difficult to hold it if she drills into a gap." ”
"Since you want her to die, it doesn't matter if you're pregnant or not. Once your son ascends to the throne of God, there will be three thousand harems, and no one will help him give birth to a son? I'm afraid that you won't have time to be a grandmother by then, and there are so many grandchildren that you can't even remember the name. "The snow is a little smaller than just now, and the ancestral hall is pitch black, and if someone breaks in, the ambush will be noisy. He said lightly and looked calm, but the time limit for midnight was approaching, but the other party did not move at all, and the Shadow Sect Master felt irritated in his heart.
"Sect Master, don't forget, the elders of the Shadow Gate and above all have weak heirs, and the ancestor even has no children and no daughters, so he has to adopt a righteous son, and the master has you alone. Although Feng'er is not a disciple of the Shadow Gate, it is my bloodline, and there is no good news after many years of marriage, and now this baby is really hard, so how can I not worry? "I don't like my daughter-in-law anymore, my grandson is the baby of her family.
"Xiying, if you can be the emperor, it may not have to be your son." was irritable, and only then did he vent his thoughts.
Xiying was the name of Empress Dowager Qi before entering the palace, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but sneer, "You want to be the emperor yourself, and go against the prophecy of your master?" Be careful, don't break your bones and involve the shadow door to accompany the burial. Even if I want to be called the empress, I still feel that my life is the most precious, so I should give it to my son. Haven't we already discussed this matter, if my son is called the emperor, he will immediately seal the shadow gate as the national emperor, I will naturally be the queen mother, in charge of the palace, and the suzerain will be the elder of the three princes in one, in charge of the court. The hundred officials are shared by our shadow disciples, and they are in charge of the world, and the emperor is just a name. ”
The Shadow Gate Sect Master sighed casually, and was not angry at Empress Dowager Qi's disrespect for his master, "Of course I know, but the Shadow Gate has never advocated the theory of gods and ghosts, and it is very inexplicable to leave this sect alone. ”
"Having said that, the hexagram has never been wrong, and the suzerains of all generations have been appointed by heaven. Only then is there a shadow gate today. Ghosts may be nonsense. But there is a great way in heaven, and you must not obey it. "Empress Dowager Qi is not as rebellious as the Shadow Sect Master, but she is actually respectful of her teacher.
"I never wanted to teach you to be boring, but your daughter-in-law is much more knowledgeable. Although it is rumored that she is mean. It's really wise. "The Shadow Gate Sect Master has a weird yin and yang spirit.
"You didn't teach me. Taught by the teacher. Empress Dowager Qi said coldly, "As the sect master, the responsibility is heavy." We should act sensibly, not on our own selfishness. I'm still the same sentence, if you had dealt with Lan Sheng earlier, there would have been no twists and turns. She is the biggest obstacle for my son to be the emperor, my son is one step slower to be the emperor, and we are one step slower when we see the light, and at this juncture, the power of the new emperor intervenes, and you know that we are still afraid of him. He holds the military power in his hands, and he has ruined the power in my palace, and there will be more and more people loyal to him in the inner court, how can I contain him in the future? ”
"Any emperor will change blood after he ascends the throne, your good son is scared, and you are on pins and needles on the queen mother's throne, and the new emperor will deal with you sooner or later. At this time, it seems that we have suffered a loss, but in fact, it may not be. There are so many vacancies in the Zuolong camp at once, someone must fill them, and there is no other choice but to protect the army loyal to the new emperor. In this way, our people will be able to seize the power of the capital protector army, and if you think about it, it is a small victory. ”
Just like the black-and-white battle in Go, the new emperor's side seems to have taken advantage of the shape, and there is a great possibility that it will be outflanked.
"......" If you want to talk about scheming, she is indeed not as wide as his thinking.
Not far away, the bangzi knocked, and it was midnight. The two of them looked in the direction of the ancestral hall together, but the Guangming Hall was still bright, and the ancestral hall was still dark, and there was no chaos they expected.
"Sect Master......" Empress Dowager Qi had just spoken, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind her.
Gonggong Li wiped his sweat while running, and before he got close, he knelt on his knees and dragged his legs to crawl over, "Sect Master, Queen Mother, it's not a good thing!" I just received an urgent report, the Nine Star Courtyard is on fire, and the people imprisoned in the Heavenly Temple are gone! ”
Empress Dowager Qi couldn't believe it, "What?!" Then he was aggressive towards the people next to him who were also stunned, "I'll just say, don't be funny, Nanyue Lansheng is a fox, a ghost idea in her belly, every time she can turn evil into good fortune, it can't be her luck." She still has capable people under her! You don't have to worry or be afraid, but the Noh clan has always been our great enemy, and the more we get to the point where we completely destroy them, the more we can't relax. How does the sect master plan to remedy this mistake? ”
The Shadow Gate Sect Master clenched his fists, he didn't expect that the other party would not be fooled, and he would be able to find the Nine Star Courtyard, his favorite Green Bamboo Hall was probably going to be destroyed in the fire, and the true meaning of the Nine Star Courtyard was the Heavenly Temple. The Heavenly Temple is the ancestor who selected the mountain and built it, which is exactly the same as the Hyun Emperor's Temple, and it is the exquisiteness of Feng Shui. Shuanglong is in the world, and the higher one is in the sky. The patriarch was afraid that everyone would know feng shui and weaken the shadow gate, so he advocated feng shui as a heresy to Emperor Hyun Yuan, destroyed books on this subject, and forbade officials and citizens to study it.
Feng Shui, originated from the Wind Clan, is an original art created for her by the Wind King who fell in love with an ordinary woman, although it is profound and subtle, but as long as she has talent, she can use great power. There was once a feng shui master who was a good luck in the folk and was proficient in this science, and then of course he was curbed by the assassination of the shadow gate.
The place of the emperor's ancestral hall is called Jiulong Mountain, not a real mountain, but it has a dragon's head aura, when the ancestor chose the site for Emperor Hyun Yuan, he did not exaggerate the spiritual source of this land, but he concealed a little.
There is one place that is more suitable for building a temple than the current imperial ancestral hall, which is Jiuxing Mountain. Jiuxing Mountain is high and steep, because it cannot be inhabited and is inhabited, but there is a treasure land on the top of the mountain. Master Zu firmly believes that as long as the ancestors of Yingmen are worshiped there, there is no need to be afraid of the emperor's rebellion, no need to be afraid of revenge of the Neng clan, and there is even more supreme totalitarianism that can compare with the sky.
The greatest power of Feng Shui lies in its blessings and misfortunes that extend to future generations for a long time. And it is not easy to build an ancestral hall on the top of the mountain, countless craftsmen died during the construction process, plus it is necessary to keep it secret, and there are countless mouths, the temple of heaven sacrifices twice a year, there is nothing more precious than human life, so from generation to generation, these efforts will push the shadow gate to the peak, and it seems that it is about to reach the top, and this blessed land has been burned!
It had always shown his composure, as well as the sneering eyes of everyone, which were shattered and destroyed in an instant, and the Shadow Sect Master couldn't help but slam his fist against the wall and roared angrily. Fortunately, the wind was very strong, and the palace walls were very high, and his roar did not reach far, and it was not heard.
This is a huge loss for the Quanying Gate, but Empress Dowager Qi did not show grief and anger, a cold light flashed in her eyes, only her voice was eager, "Sect Master, don't wait, release that girl's film, and let our people rely on her master as well." Although he had to sacrifice the lives of those people, there was no proof of death, once the new emperor had a heart disease, he would definitely take care of himself first, and it was impossible to ignore the story of a woman's death in the emperor's ancestral hall. ”
"No!" Loud to stop, the Shadow Gate Sect Master's eyes were red with anger, and he could see that he was hideous, "No! No! No! ...... "I said more than a dozen times in a row, and walked back and forth, so fast that it seemed that there was a fire under my feet."
"Now that she has rescued the two of them, she must know that we have locked up her girl separately, and even Jiuxing Mountain can let her find out, she won't wonder why I misled her to come to the Emperor's Temple to save people...... "This is a chain of knots, untie one, you can untie a pair," don't fall for her plan. ”
Empress Dowager Qi squinted slightly, "Although you can't underestimate her, you don't need to overestimate her." In my opinion, burning Jiuxing Mountain is a foolish move. The Heavenly Temple imitates the Emperor's Temple, the Huadian is comparable to the Emperor's Palace, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain of rebellion, if she keeps it, and at the same time informs the new emperor, it must be a great achievement, and we can't help her for a while. ”
"No, this is where she is smart, Jiuxing Mountain is the land of the fifth princess, although it is not directly under her name, but it can be found out in a few corners. She felt that the fifth princess was innocent, and if it wasn't burned, the fifth princess would definitely carry the black pot. The fifth princess treated her kindly, so she was neat, even if she herself did not have any evidence, indicating that the fifth princess had nothing to do with this matter. She gambled on the friendship between the two, and didn't underestimate my skills. Even if the Heavenly Temple and the Bamboo Hall are handed over to the new emperor intact, the five princesses can also be proven innocent, except for the panic of the people in the court, the new emperor is angry at killing some unpleasant courtiers, but it may not be able to lift half of my shadow door. "The pace gradually slowed down, and the conscious analysis was reasonable.
"But if she destroys the Heavenly Temple, the imperial court will not be panicked, but the Shadow Gate will, the Heavenly Temple is the ancestor-"
"Master Zu didn't say that the Heavenly Temple was destroyed and the Shadow Gate was destroyed, there are many good feng shui in the world, so find another place to rebuild." The Shadow Sect Sect Master interrupted impatiently, and his anger was not at the fact that the Heavenly Temple or the Bamboo Hall was on fire, but the other party's counterattack made him feel that he couldn't get off the stage. He has already boasted about his subordinates, even if he releases someone, he is in his own hands, and Princess Lan has no way to live, let her pinch round and flatten, and there are many capable people to accompany the funeral. Fortunately, she gave him a big ear scraper, so that he would lose face in front of all the men.
He believes that whether it is feng shui or prophecy, it is a dispensable guide, just like the reappearance of the wind people, it is an invisible spiritual support for the capable, which gives rise to the courage of the duel. This kind of thing, to stabilize people's hearts, he will use it; Shake people's hearts, and he will clean it up.
"In fact, this bet, no matter whether the sect master wins or loses, Nan Yuelan is dead in life. I am afraid that she was forced to be anxious because of this, so she stabbed the matter so big, pulled the emperor to protect her, and burned the nine stars. The sect master originally planned to catch cat and mouse, but now it seems that there is no better way to deal with it, so it is better to leave it to me. ”
Empress Dowager Qi always minds the small one in her daughter-in-law's belly, as if she had a premonition that this would be her only grandson, no matter how hard and poisonous her heart is, she will not be able to play rationally in the next generation. Of course, she felt that it would not be a big deal to let Lan Sheng live for a few more months, anyway, her son had already agreed, and she would set a date for marrying Yu Sibi. Although the little Taoist priest who accused Princess Lan almost retracted his confession, he let the sect master kill in time, there is no evidence but only physical evidence, and the case may be hastily concluded in the end, but Nanyue Lansheng's concubine position will definitely not be kept.
As for her, it is expedient to give up the position of the queen mother, but she will not let Concubine Xian sit hot. (To be continued......)
