He Jingying was apprehensive, and she went to find He Yin before leaving. In the current situation, it seems that I can't wait for He Yin to come back. He Jingying raised her head and said, "May I ask Lord Wang, what is this going to do?!" ”

Wang Rong looked like he was in tears, and said to He Jingying respectfully: "Princess, this is a sacrifice for Prince Wenhui. ”

"Sacrifices?" He Jingying looked at Huo Chengbi, who had no face: "This is my concubine in the prince's mansion, how can I make a sacrifice?" I wonder if the crown princess knows about this? ”

There is one less concubine in the prince's mansion, of course Wang Baoming knows. It's just that Wang Baoming is weak by nature, although he is from the same Langya Wang family as Wang Rong, and even has a higher background, even if he knows that Wang Rong's move is inappropriate, he doesn't dare to say anything. Now He Jingying asked like this in front of the courtiers, Wang Baoming's face turned red, and he didn't answer, and he didn't answer.

Wang Rong looked at Wang Baoming in surprise and said, "Crown Princess, the ceremony about the festival was sent to the mansion a few days ago, didn't the crown princess take a closer look?" ”

Xiao Lian frowned, since the death of the crown prince, Wang Baoming has also been seriously ill, and the affairs in the mansion are all handed over to him to take care of. He glanced at the rituals of the rituals, but there was no procedure for human sacrifice.

Xiao Lian said: "Lord Wang, my father is a good Buddha, and I can't bear to see my concubine buried for herself." ”

"Lord Nanjun, the custom of martyrdom has existed since ancient times, how respectful Prince Wenhui is, in terms of regulations, someone should be martyred. What's more, except for Huo Liangdi, the people who were buried were all death row prisoners, and it was a blessing for them to be able to bury Prince Wenhui. ”

He Jingying said: "Lord Wang, God has the virtue of a good life. Why not pardon these people, it can be regarded as the prince's meritorious deeds. ”

Wang Rong said disdainfully: "Princess, Prince Wenhui is the prince, and all funerals should follow the etiquette system." This can make my great Qi prosperous and bless me for thousands of years. ”

He Jingying said loudly: "May I ask when Lord Wang obeys the etiquette system?" Since the founding of the country, Taizu has been diligent in government and loves the people, and has a merciful heart. Why did Lord Wang know that this was the case, and still use a living person to bury Prince Wenhui? But do you want Prince Wenhui to offend the ancestors, and the lonely soul is uneasy? ”

Wang Rongfen didn't let go, and replied: "The princess doesn't know, before Taizu drove the crane back to the west, there were astrological guidance, so Taizu had already prepared terracotta figurines. But Prince Wenhui was killed by thieves, and the Ministry of Rites did not receive instructions, so he did not prepare terracotta figurines, so according to the ritual system, he should be sacrificed with living people. ”

He Jingying hurriedly said: "Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a king who sacrificed people alive. Did Lord Wang want Prince Wenhui to rebel against the ancestors this time? ”

In the crowd, one person said sharply: "The old man has already heard that the prince of Nanjun is disobedient and unfilial, and he has always had a dislike with Prince Wenhui, I originally thought it was just a rumor, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is really true." Lord Nanjun, are you messing around here with Mrs. Dezun? ”

The speaker was King Jingze, the Sikong of the dynasty, who was ranked as the third prince and was a pivotal figure in the court. As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers looked sideways.

Xiao Lian smiled coldly: "Dare to ask Wang Sikong, did my wife say anything wrong?" ”

Wang Rong arched his hand towards the east and said, "Lord, the funeral was originally invited to the emperor. You are now messing around so much in front of Prince Wenhui's spirit, and you are disrespectful to Prince Wenhui, which can be said to be disobedient and unfilial. ”

Xiao Lian said coldly: "This king is talking about martyrdom now, how can he say that he is disobedient and unfilial." If the king is at fault, he will ask his father for the guilt, and he will not bother the king to hold him accountable. ”

Wang Baoming hurriedly grabbed Xiao Lian's clothes. Wang Rong's actions were just to bully the prince after his death, and there was no one in the prince's mansion, so he just found a reason to take care of it. Although Wang Rong is a member of the prince's house, he is friendly with Xiao Ziliang, and has received a lot of reprimands from the prince for this. Wang Rong should have a grudge against this matter.

Wang Rong and Wang Baoming went out of Langya Wang together, and in the past, for the sake of the prince, they were respectful to Wang Baoming, but now as soon as the prince falls, he is unscrupulous.

Wang Rong glanced at Xiao Lian with a smile and made a gesture to the front, and the carriage was urged to walk forward slowly, straight to a deep pit under the altar.

Huo Chengbi, who had been colorless in the carriage, finally regained a trace of consciousness. She looked at the pit in front of her, her eyes were wide and bloodshot, and she shouted in horror: "Prince, princess, save me!" ”

The desire to survive of those death row prisoners was also aroused by Huo Chengbi's shout, and they struggled and shouted: "Lord Wang, save us!" We don't want to die! ”

The eunuch who was escorting the convoy raised his whip high and hit the group of death row prisoners with a "snap": "What is it called!" Giving Prince Wenhui a burial is a blessing for you for several lifetimes! The whip was so hard that when it went down, blood was seen on the bodies of several death row inmates.

Huo Chengbi heard the whip behind him, and became even more frightened, looking at Xiao Lian helplessly with a pair of eyes, as if Xiao Lian was her life-saving straw, and begged bitterly: "Lord Wang, save me!" ”

When the eunuch heard Huo Chengbi shouting, he couldn't help but raise the whip as if Huo Chengbi had whipped it.

Huo Chengbi screamed. The whip had not yet reached Huo Chengbi's body, and it had already been held in Xiao Lian's hand. Xiao Lian looked angry, and pulled the whip forward, and the eunuch stumbled a few times and fell in front of Xiao Lian.

"My father is gone, and my prince's mansion can't be humiliated by your little eunuch! This is my father's good di, that is, this king calls a little lady, and she also deserves it, is it you who you say will be beaten? Since the burial of your father is a blessing that you can't cultivate, then you can go. With that, Xiao Lian kicked the eunuch into the pit.

The eunuch fell into the pit, rolled all over the mud, and was suddenly frightened, and climbed up with his hands and feet, but the wall of the pit was steep and smooth, and it was so easy to climb up.

Xiao Lian threw away the whip of the eunuch and said to Wang Rong: "Lord Wang, if you want to go your own way, you will forgive this king for being rude." It's just that today's martyrs, this king will ask the emperor to deal with them. ”

Wang Rong said angrily: "Lord Wang, you mistook the prince's auspicious time like this, how can you afford this sin?" ”

Xiao Lian raised his head and said: "But I can't afford to bother Lord Wang." ”

Although the status of a courtier is inferior to that of a prince, Wang Rong presides over the ceremonies and represents the royal prestige. Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, Xiao Lian offended Tianwei like this, and he slapped the face of the Tianjia family. Seeing that Xiao Lian was so unimportant, the princes and ministers on the side all frowned and shook their heads, looking helpless.

Xiao Ziliang saw that most of the old ministers showed disdain, and hurriedly said: "Law body, what kind of system have you become like this?" ”

Xiao Lian sneered: "What does Uncle Wang mean? ”
