Chapter Seventy-One: The Eighth Year of Longhe

"That's true!"

Su Ruhui asked in a trembling voice, and Xiuwan, who was half-kneeling on the side to straighten the corners of her skirt, was so frightened that her hands trembled vigorously, and the more she reasoned, the more wrinkled she became. Seeing them like this, Zhou Yi'er didn't laugh, but nodded with a calm face, and said in a low voice: "I gave up the illness and quietly sent someone to tell us, by the way, the searcher may come here at any time, you quickly see if there is anything inappropriate, and deal with it as soon as possible!" ”

Su Ruhui didn't have time to thank her, she pushed away Xiuwan, who still wanted to trim the corners of her skirt, and said repeatedly: "Go and check, quickly!" ”

The Su family doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and they have no plans to usurp the throne until now, so naturally they won't bring any messy things into the palace, but Lumingtai is not a heavily guarded place, maybe someone wants to harm her, and there are more things that even she doesn't know about.

What's more, what did Zhou Yier say?

The witch Gu thing was found by the concubine's personal palace maid!

Huo Guifei? At the mention of this person, Su Ruhui almost immediately thought of Lord Huaizhen, who still lived in Xifu Palace! The master who doesn't pick on himself when he meets him, he doesn't feel comfortable!

Zhou Yi'er saw her panicked appearance, and hurriedly went back to her yard to call Xiuying to help find it, the four of them didn't care about their manners and fatigue, and checked the small courtyard clean, and didn't find anything that shouldn't be there, so they breathed a sigh of relief, Su Ruhua brought several large boxes into the palace, silk and satin, gold beads and jade, had already been turned into a mess, and they had no intention of cleaning up.

Sitting down in the main hall, Xiuwan made tea with the hot water left over from yesterday, Zhou Yi'er took a big sip, and then relieved her breath and said with a wry smile: "I said that your master and servant could still fall asleep yesterday, but I didn't know about it!" ”

Su Ruhui had palpitations in her heart, and she settled down before she said: "Before entering the palace, I heard about the eight years of Longhe, my mother said that it was terrible, my Su family never believed in witchcraft, so naturally I would not do these things, and my mother told me not to be contaminated in the future, so as not to be calculated." ”

"Yes, Longhe has been ...... for eight years" Zhou Yi'er didn't laugh at their panic, because when she just got the news of Zhou Qi's illness, the degree of panic was even worse than Su Ruhui's, at least Su Ruhui still had her calmed down self by her side to help and comfort.

In the eighth year of Longhe, that is, during the reign of the first emperor, due to the death of the queen, the concubines competed for the phoenix position, especially the then Wei Shufei and Qian Guifei, these two concubines had a comparable family background, and they had been in the palace for many years. From the time the two first entered the palace to the time everything was exposed by the other party, for a while the harem scandals continued, today Qian Guifei sent someone to turn herself in to recruit the heirs who were instructed by Wei Shufei to murder other concubines, and tomorrow Wei Shufei exposed Qian Guifei to kill the favored palace maid in private......

At that time, the Empress Dowager Jingsu was still there, but her body had collapsed, and she was dragged on the sickbed most of the time. How do you know that the Empress Dowager Jingsu doesn't know if she doesn't check, and she almost didn't get angry directly when she checked it!

Qian Guifei and Wei Shufei, since entering the palace, because of their family background, they are favored by high positions, so they don't know how many favored concubines they have murdered, especially what makes the Empress Dowager Jingsu angry is that there are at least five or six imperial heirs who died in the hands of these two concubines in vain! And among them, it also includes the Empress Dowager Jingsu's favorite five-year-old little imperial grandson, who died because the slave maid did not fall into the water carefully, but it turned out that Concubine Wei Shufei pushed him into the water, and did not allow the people around her to ask for help, and watched the five-year-old imperial grandson drown!

The Empress Dowager Jingsu was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot! This incident alarmed the first emperor and the three dukes of the court, who were discussing the previous dynasty, and the three dukes drove into Renshou Palace to visit the queen mother instead of the ministers, but they knew about the scandal in the palace, and the emperor and the three dukes were furious!

But high. The tide is not these, it is when the first emperor ordered a thorough search of the palace to find out other things, it was found that the two concubines had witchcraft in the palace, in addition to cursing the other party and several other favored concubines, they also found out the dolls of the Empress Dowager Jingsu and several favored princes, which were covered with dense silver needles and curses!

The first emperor was furious when he heard the news and ordered the second concubine Ling Chi to be executed! The second son, the third son, the fifth son and the tenth son of the emperor born by the second concubine were all imprisoned, and after the three generations of the Ming edict, the genealogy was excommunicated!

And the palace people and slaves involved in the second concubine, there are thousands of people who were killed by the cane alone! And that's not counting those who were beheaded, torn apart, and hanged. The precipitation of dead air above the sixth house made the spring of that year two months late, and the winter tree dared to bloom!

And the Fengzhou Wei clan behind Wei Shufei, if it weren't for the first-class gate valve of Dayong, and the border was unstable at that time, it was not appropriate for the DPRK and China to change drastically, and they would have been expelled a long time ago. Even so, the Empress Dowager Jingsu also issued a decree: The daughter of the Wei family must never enter the palace! Even if you are a slave or a slave, you are not allowed!

As for Qian Guifei, she is the niece of Donghu Liu, Donghu Liu has no outstanding daughters of appropriate age, so he sent his niece to the palace, and then the Qian family was confiscated, Donghu Liu because of its special location - Donghu County directly borders Beirong, and every time Beirong soldiers go south, they will first fight with Donghu! The first emperor took pity on the Liu family for many years, and every few years there were children who were stained with blood on the battlefield, but he issued an order to reprimand him for not being strict in teaching and not knowing people clearly.

The witchcraft seemed to have subsided at this point, but in the next ten years, the entire situation changed dramatically. In the past, there has always been a Weiwen Liu Wuzhi in the Dayong Dynasty, which is talking about the Fengzhou Wei family's special Wenchen, and at most, there have been two generations of Taishi; And the Donghu Liu clan will have a confrontation with Beirong almost every year, and naturally there are many military generals, and the Taifu of all dynasties, even if they are not surnamed Liu, almost all of them are from Donghu.

These two gates were once pushed to be the first and second gates of Dayong, known as the civil and military Shuanglin, but they didn't want to compete for the back position because of the two women sent to the palace, and lead to the scourge of witchcraft, and the glory since the founding of the country came to an abrupt end. Since then, the officials of the Wei family in the court have either resigned or called themselves sick, or they have been sent to the feudal state by Emperor Longhe for an excuse.

Although the generals of the Liu clan in Donghu were not so obvious, the generals of the Liu clan also called themselves sick, and in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, they did not even dare to return to Donghu, and went to the distant and unfamiliar Jiangnan to recuperate, and they have not returned yet.

This is also the reason why after the sudden death of the first emperor, the current Empress Dowager Jiayi took Changtai to the throne, and Beirong came to commit as usual, and the country was in chaos. If it weren't for the shrewdness of the Queen Mother, and Wu Luo, Huo De, plus the support of Guan Xianghou, Su Guogong and other old ministers who were still alive at the time, Weiwen Liu Wu would have gone, and this Dayong would have really gone through a period of weakness.

The eight-year palace massacre of Longhe is a lesson that the imperial capital family has been silent so far. Dayong has always been not strict with the competition for favor of palace concubines, on the one hand, because the royal family wants to be faced, and secondly, because most of the high-ranking concubines in the palace are from the door valve, and they affect the whole body. And they often form a balance between each other, and no one dares to act rashly.

But after a thorough investigation, the Empress Dowager Jingsu learned that the royal family's carelessness in the past had pampered these gate lords and concubines to this point, and if they continued to indulge, I am afraid that even the imperial heirs would be exterminated!

Since then, the Empress Dowager Jingsu has personally redrafted the palace rules, especially the first crime of jealousy and seeking heirs, and the witch Gu is even a family!

You must know that the Empress Dowager Jingsu of the previous dynasty is known for her generosity, because the first emperor was already old when she succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager Jingsu did not listen to politics in the court, both inside and outside said that the Empress Dowager Jingsu was soft and graceful, and did not like to be harsh, even if she was so angry that she vomited blood, the Empress Dowager Jingsu only planned to execute Qian and Wei Erfei, until the palace was searched and found out of the witch Gu thing, which is to make the Empress Dowager Jingsu make up her mind and agree to use the blood of thousands of people to show the dignity of the heavenly family!

Even later, the first emperor was angry with the heirs of Qian and Wei Erfei, imprisoned the four princes and gradually abandoned their royal status, and the Empress Dowager Jingsu did not come forward to intercede!

In the eight years of Longhe, Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er were repeatedly told before entering the palace, no matter how favored they were, no matter how the situation was, once they were touched by witch Gu, they might be knocked into the dust, and this point, the family would naturally take the trouble to mention it, which had carved a deep shadow in their hearts.

Unconsciously, the hands of the two were clenched, their palms were damp, and they were all in cold sweat, which was not a lack of heart, but an inexplicable panic.

From the eighth year of Longhe to the twenty-sixth year of Changtai - it is still the first day of the twenty-sixth year! Recreate the scourge of witchcraft...... In the palace, in the court, the sky is going to change!

The tension and panic of the two at the moment are not only for themselves, but also for their families. In the eight years of the witch curse of Long He, the relationship that turned seven or eight turns was involved, who knows if a relative or friend outside the seven or eight layers of the family will be inexplicably involved and then involve the family?

There was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, and a small yellow door stretched out his throat, and a stack of titles was thrown out: "By the order of the Empress Dowager Jiayi, His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress Niangniang of the Middle Palace, the Guifei Niangniang of Xifu Palace, the Shufei Niangniang of Yongxin Palace, and the Xian Concubine Niangniang of Mingguang Palace, search the Six Palacesβ€”β€”"
