Chapter 13: The Witch (7)

Tuoba Hongwei raised his hand, and a courtier behind him who was dressed by a white pheasant stepped forward and saluted, it was Master Feng, the master of ceremonies of the Qin Heavenly Supervisor. He said loudly: "The reason why the matter of witchcraft has not been solved until now is only because the queen mother found the wrong way and failed to find out the real culprit. Mingjue Temple Huici has done things many times, and he has not been able to get rid of the demons by making a big move to alarm the heavenly court, and it is nothing more than because the mana is not advanced enough. As soon as the Shen family died, Ye Xiaozhu's condition could be stabilized, and the emperor and the queen didn't have to worry anymore. ”

"Is that really the case?" Tuoba Hong's face was slightly pale: "But even if the Shen family gives death, according to Huici's words, the celestial phenomenon of Kui Wood Wolf as a murderer has still not dispersed, which shows that witchcraft is difficult to suppress." What can I do to appease the wrath of heaven? ”

"This matter is easy, and the emperor can rest assured. Although the demon method of this witch Gu is powerful, it is not difficult to crack it, and after the emperor kills the murderer, he burns these two dolls, and the demon law will be destroyed, and there is nothing to be afraid of. And the astrological signs of the Nakui Timber Wolf, with all due respect, there is no inevitable connection between the astrological phenomena and the witch and demon law. ”

Tuoba Hong said with a question, "Oh": "As far as you can see, astrology and demon law are fundamentally two different things?" ”

"Exactly." Master Feng said firmly: "Weichen has served in Qintianjian for more than 20 years, and he does not have the ability to reach the heavens like Huici, but he has learned to look at the sky and the earth, and he is confident that he can see accurately and thoroughly in the study of the stars. 'Kui Timber Wolf is far from the northwest', Hui Ci's explanation is that the person who hits the wood is not good for the royal family, but in Wei Chen's opinion, this is not the case. The turbulence of the Timber Wolf is indeed a thing, but it does not mean a bad omen, but it means that the heavens think that something unfair has happened in the world, and it cannot see the signs that are coming down to warn the world. If the emperor can act according to the will of the heavens, then the stars can also be cracked. ”

Without waiting for Tuoba Hong to ask, Lord Feng explained to himself: "Among the masters in the northwest direction of the palace, only the little master of Hui Jieyu has the surname of Mu in the middle. This little lord now lives in the Mirror Moon Pavilion, but this palace is the most remote place in the palace, and it is close to the cold palace. The people imprisoned in the cold palace are all lowly sinners, if Jieyu is noble, she naturally shouldn't live in such a place for a long time. According to the astrological calculations, Wei Chen calculated that the astrological signs of this Kui Timber Wolf were different, and it was precisely because there were nobles in the palace who were condescending and humble, that the heavens were in turmoil. ”

Lin Yuan, who was named, was stunned for a moment, and said to Tuoba Hong: "Your Majesty, what this Lord Qin Tianjian said is very mysterious. The concubine was from a low background, and her father was only a ...... of Bapin County."

Empress Xiao was even more shocked, and gradually, her face turned blue and white with annoyance. It doesn't matter if Lord Feng of the Qin Heavenly Prison slanders Hui Ci, but the Lin family ...... This Lin clan, how can it be turned out of her palm!

"Your Majesty, Huici's mana is not advanced enough, and the concubines are not investigated. But the theories of ghosts, gods, and astrological phenomena are all confusing, and what Qin Tianjian said may not be completely accurate. Empress Xiao argued: "Please also ask the emperor to be clear." ”

Tuoba Hong sneered: "Empress, I don't know metaphysics, and I don't want to understand, let alone judge who is right between Hui Ci and Qin Tianjian. I only have one thing to say, and in the current situation, whoever can suppress the witchcraft and cure Ye's illness will be greatly praised. Whoever delays the Ye family and disturbs the palace is restless, I will severely punish him. I found out the real culprit behind the witch Gu, and it was precisely by adopting Qin Tianjian's advice to search the Yongshou Palace, that I found the Shen family. And the two minions who committed murder in the Lintoe Palace also revealed that they were instigated by the Shen family under torture. The piles and piles are all correct, and there are witnesses and material evidence, which shows that what Qin Tianjian said is true. ”

He turned around and pointed at Lin Yuan and said to everyone: "Now that I hear Qin Tianjian talk about the stars, it is even more convincing. Lin's background is not high, but she has prevented the disaster for me, and it must be God who sees her merits in his eyes, which makes her life rich. In this case, she really can't succumb to the Mirror Moon Pavilion anymore, and then the witch curse is dug up in the Mirror Moon Pavilion, which is really unlucky, and she can't live anymore. After the palace is settled in a few days, Hui Jieyu will move out. ”

The emperor's words made everyone a little stunned, and in the blink of an eye, Concubine Xiang was rescued, the Shen family died, and the Lin family turned over again. During the banquet, Concubine Wen and the others couldn't help but secretly wring their handkerchiefs, remembering that the emperor himself said that the Lin family "has meritorious service to the royal family" and "lives a rich and noble life", and they have mixed feelings in their hearts, and they don't know how to compete with this favorite concubine in the future.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and kowtowed to Tuoba Hong, and said very gratefully: "What Lord Qin Tianjian said is very reasonable, but the concubine has self-knowledge, where can she be called rich." It is because of the blessing of the emperor that the emperor rewarded the concubine with a little bit from the finger sewn between his fingers, so that the concubine could survive after the arrow, and it could be regarded as a great disaster and a blessing. Saying that, he lowered his head and smiled: "Concubines don't believe in fate, nor do they seek wealth and nobility." In the past, the emperor gave the concubines a long favor, and tonight the emperor can come to the Mirror Moon Pavilion to relieve the siege for the concubines, and the concubines are already very moved, even if they live in the remote Mirror Moon Pavilion, what do they want to serve the emperor. ”

Xu Ronghua pouted secretly, the Lin family has a cunning personality, and he is also flamboyant when he speaks, he is really a vixen! Feng Zhuangji under her seat snorted even more coldly, and then hurriedly suppressed it. Tuoba Hong looked down at the woman kneeling under him, and saw a faint blood spot oozing from her chest, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her up and said: "I don't know how to take care of my body, your injuries have not healed, how can you come out and walk around at will!" Saying that, a cold gaze swept over the queen: "Yao Fusheng, go and get a big piece for Hui Jieyu, the weather is cold, and she can't stand the cold." Ask the Imperial Doctor to come and have a look. ”

Lin Yuan resisted the queen just now, and the wound naturally opened between the movements. It's just that Lin Yuan is not just injured now, she fell down as soon as the wind blew, and she didn't feel too much discomfort in her body, so she asked Tuoba Hong: "Now that all the concubines are here, the emperor should not mobilize the people for the concubine alone." Ye Liangyuan was not good there, the imperial doctors were all in Changxin Palace for diagnosis and treatment, and the concubines did not dare to alarm them and delay Ye Liangyuan. ”

Tuoba Hong also wanted to persuade her, but seeing that she insisted repeatedly, he had to give up. Yao Fusheng dutifully held a white fox's clothes and put it on for Lin Yuan, and several internal supervisors also brought soft chairs and braziers from the room and put them in front of her, Lin Yuan was tightly wrapped in the chair, with a hot brazier under her feet, and suddenly her body was full of heat, and she didn't feel cold when the north wind was howling. Naturally, her treatment is unique, and the people next to her have to sit on hardwood chairs in the wind and snow to be frozen.

Tuoba Hong glanced at everyone: "Now that the stars have been solved, and the Shen family has been given death, this harem can finally be at ease." As he spoke, he seemed to have doubts on his face, looked at Lord Feng with deep eyes, and asked, "Since you have already read the astrological signs, and you have calculated that Huici and the Empress have wronged others, why don't you report it as soon as possible?" ”

Lord Feng was questioned by the emperor, but he did not show a look of fear, but only glanced at Hui Ci, who was lying in the corner of the wall supported by the nuns, and showed mockery: "It's not that the ministers did not report and neglected their duties. The queen has a lot of trust in the high monk Huici, even if Wei Chen puts forward a different opinion, I am afraid that not only will it not be adopted, but it will also lead to death. He spoke very boldly, and Rao is Lin Yuan didn't feel admiration when he heard it.

Lord Feng's face was calm, and he didn't look up at Lin Yuan, and continued to say to Tuoba Hong: "It stands to reason that Huici, as a high monk, not only can't find the real culprit, but even the astrological signs of the Kui Wood Wolf can't be interpreted correctly. I wonder if the emperor has ever heard a word? in its place and in its place. If the world is peaceful and the demon law is eliminated, then what role can places like Mingjue Temple and Qin Tianjian be used? It is precisely because of the restlessness in the palace and the rampant ghosts that the queen and the concubines and masters have to rely on Mingjue Temple. If it weren't for this, where would Mingjue Temple be able to flourish for decades, and where would Qin Tianjian be reused by the royal family. ”

Lord Feng spoke respectfully and politely, but his words were thought-provoking. Tuoba Hong smiled lightly when he heard this: "There are not many people in the court who are as upright and outspoken as you. ”

"Wechen doesn't like to go with the flow." Lord Feng is neither humble nor arrogant.

Empress Xiao's face was gloomy, the corners of her lips moved, and she never said anything to refute after all. Although the official position of the courtier standing in front of her was not high, this person's words were sharp, and he pointed to the point, and every word made her unable to find loopholes.

Tuoba Hong glanced at the queen with a smile: "You do not use people to check." He waved his hand again and said: "That Hui Ci, in my opinion, is in vain, and this time it almost delayed the Ye family and caused a big disaster." Someone came, took away her abbot's position, and expelled her from Mingjue Temple. ”

Lin Yuan had long hated the queen's dictatorship and instructed a nun to pour dirty water on her. At this time, seeing that the emperor gave the order and slapped the queen in the face, he only felt a burst of happiness in his heart. At this time, Huici had been lying in the snow for a long time, and she slowly woke up, but she was seriously injured and couldn't even lift her arms. Several of the samurai beside the emperor came forward to drag her, and she was so frightened that she wanted to beg the emperor for mercy, but her throat was burned, and she couldn't make a sound. She turned her head again with difficulty to look at the Queen, her fingers pointing straight at her, her expression full of pleading.

Empress Xiao herself is difficult to protect, where can she dare to intercede for Huici again. Moreover, Hui Ci is old and burned all over her body, even if she is cured in the future, she will not be able to move freely, and it is no longer worth half to her.

"Father, please listen to your son." Suddenly, a young female voice sounded. Fan Jade Emperor Ji flashed out of the crowd, leaned down and knelt in front of Tuoba Hong and begged: "Father, the son has lived in the Mingjue Temple for eight years, and he gets along with Huici every day. In all fairness, although Hui Ci is not qualified to be called a high monk, nor is she compassionate to her, she has been in charge of Mingjue Temple for several years, with clear rewards and punishments, effective control, and hard work without merit. If her father drove her out of Mingjue Temple, she would probably starve to death on the streets, and asked her father to forgive her and not punish her heavily. ”
