Chapter Seventy-Six: The Golden Buddha Bursts
On the day when the Golden Buddha was delivered, it was really a so-called empty alley, and the already lively temple had twice as many people than usual.
Mrs. Zhou reverently knelt in front of the Golden Buddha and made a wish, and in the eyes of everyone, such a woman seemed to be particularly gentle and lovely.
Within a week of that, the people in the city heard the news that Mrs. Zhou was pregnant, and everyone believed in the power of the Golden Buddha even more, and the temple was full of people for a while.
In order to thank the Golden Buddha for giving her son, Mrs. Zhou decided to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens after the fifth day.
It happened to be a cloudy day on the day of the worship ceremony, and everyone arrived at the temple early, but the protagonist of the incident, Mrs. Zhou, was late and waited for a long time without seeing her.
It wasn't until the third pole of the sun that Dr. Zhou appeared at the gate of the temple supported by everyone, and his eyes were full of lazy feeling when he looked at the temple master.
"I'm sorry, this body is too tired, so it's a little late"
"It's okay, Madame's body matters, since we're here, let's start the ceremony."
Slowly kneeling on the cushion with the support of the maid, closing his eyes and making a wish.
A black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a bolt of lightning slid down from the sky, hitting the golden Buddha in the hall, and with two clicks, the golden Buddha's body split into two halves, and part of it tumbled and fell in front of Mrs. Zhou.
This frightened the crowd, and the crowd began to stir, and they ran out crying, screaming and screaming that the gods were angry.
Mrs. Zhou, a woman who has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, naturally couldn't bear it, and before she could wait for the maid's support, she had already fainted in front of the cushion.
When Lord Taiwei heard about this, he was naturally taken aback, first, he took care of his daughter's body, and secondly, he was afraid that the gods would blame him and suffer from heaven.
After all, why is this Taiwei so afraid of the gods, is because his position is from the reign of the previous emperor? It was given by a national teacher.
At that time, as long as there was a little bit of big and small affairs in the Nanzhao Kingdom, he had to consult this national teacher, and after a long time, some major events in the court would naturally be involved.
Before becoming a lieutenant, he was just a wealthy businessman, and in order to gain more wealth, he donated some silver taels to find a small position in the capital.
As for this national teacher, he is not a mediocre and incompetent person, but he likes to be greedy for money on weekdays, so he took a fancy to Lord Taiwei.
In a questioning gown, the hexagram of the national teacher happened to be Lord Taiwei, and suddenly Lord Taiwei changed from an ordinary businessman to a celebrity in front of the emperor.
Therefore, Lord Taiwei has always attached great importance to these ghosts and gods, and the explosion of the Golden Buddha that happened today was like a boulder pressing on his heart.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"Something so big has happened, can I not come? That temple was set up by the prince of the realm for the first queen back then, and now that this has happened, it is in his arms, and he has to try his best to torture his father. ”
"Then what should I do, will I be able to remove the adult's position with me?"
"Silly boy, now that Daddy's life is about to be lost, do you still have time to care about that person's life or death?"
"How could I not care that now I have his child in my womb, and if he is gone, the child will not be an orphan? It was just as painful as losing you. ”
"What? Are you pregnant? ”
"That's right, I secretly went to the barracks a few days ago, and then I had this child."
"Confused, you are really getting more and more nonsense, how can the military camp be for a woman like you to go, if the emperor knows about it, this is a crime of losing your head."
"How can it be so serious, my father is now a captain, I don't believe anyone dares to touch me."
"You,... Alas, it's all to blame that I've spoiled you too much since I was a child. ”
Lord Taiwei sighed and got up to leave.
When Mrs. Zhou saw him like this, she naturally lost her confidence in her heart, and hurriedly shouted, "Dad, where are you going?" Leave me alone? ”
Lord Taiwei did not answer her words, but went straight back to Taiwei's Mansion and called his subordinate Li Fu.
"Li Fu, you go and find out where this golden Buddha was created, and from the beginning of the casting to the delivery of the black temple, who has gone through it."
"Yes, sir."
"Wait, tell the brothers in the dungeon to get ready, as a last resort, we can only kill Li Feng first."
"Yes, sir."
Inside the palace, Ziyan looked out of the door unswervingly, there has been no news of Twilight for a long time, I don't know if he is good there.
"Ziyan, what are you thinking? Do you miss Twilight-sama? ”
Ziyan couldn't help Gui Longqin from teasing him like this, and his face turned red in an instant, looking very cute.
"The princess is making fun of me again."
"Alas, in the blink of an eye, the adults have been gone for more than half a year, and they have never returned, and there have been no letters this month, no wonder you are in a hurry."
"The Epistles... The princess knows everything? ”
"Don't you know? Every month, you always look like you're in a state of distraction, and you're about to break through the threshold when you're in and out, and you're always quietly hiding in a nobody's corner with a letter and smirking. ”
"Huh? Is it so obvious? Oh no, Princess, I didn't mean to be lazy. ”
Ziyan knelt in front of Gui Longqin with a plop and kowtowed vigorously.
Gui Longqin helped her up, patted off the dust on her knees, and said distressedly.
"You stupid girl, why are you so sincere, where am I blaming you, but I feel sorry for you and Lord Duqiu who have a lover but want to separate the two places, and suffer from that separation."
"It's not bitter, it's not bitter, you see I'm not doing well now, in the last letter he said that he was coming back soon, let me wait for him, I think there is no letter this month because I am a little busy in the end."
"Well, how is it that you are here to comfort me again? Since you think about it in your heart, Lord Twilight is a peaceful and down-to-earth person, and it is worth your wait, and when he comes back, I will let the prince marry you. ”
"Oh, Princess..."
Before the investigation was clear, someone in the court said that the Taiwei had embezzled a huge amount of money and repaired the Golden Buddha for his daughter.
"Tell me, Lord Taiwei, what the hell is going on?"
"Emperor Mingjian, this golden Buddha was indeed made by the old minister, but it was all used with the savings saved by the old minister when he was doing business, and he did not move a little money from the treasury."
"Okay, assuming this incident is true, then how do you explain the fact that the captain's daughter went to the barracks?"
"It's... The emperor also knew that my daughter and Zhou Yongbing Cheng came to live separately in person, and she was not pregnant with any heirs, and she went to the barracks this time because of lovesickness, but the emperor can rest assured that the old minister has already educated the little girl, and there will never be a next time. ”
"What do you think, Prime Minister?"
"The men in this army, there are also wives and children, if they are as free and loose as the daughter of the captain, what fighting spirit will there be in the barracks to fight the enemy soldiers."
