Chapter 0376: The Palace is Haunted
When the Western Xia Dynasty was founded, Li Yuanhao abolished all the Han rites, and then restored the Hu rites as the national law. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
First, of course, it is to show its own independence/independence and draw a clear line with the Central Plains Dynasty; The second is that there are also unspeakable practical hardships, Chinese etiquette is very good, but it is very expensive!
For those who are Chinese, the beauty of uniforms is called Hua, and the great name of etiquette is called summer. The name of the state of etiquette is not called in vain!
If you want to reach the level of the state of etiquette, you need to spend a lot of money, and without money, you will definitely not be worthy of the title of China.
The national strength of Western Xia itself is barely self-preservation, and it cannot reach the level of China at all. Not even to mention Western Xia, even the vast territory of Liao is still not as rich as the Great Song Dynasty.
If you want to maintain Hanli, you need to come up with enough capital to support it.
If you don't have money, it's more economical to live the life of a Hu person. Huaxia, let's wash and sleep!
However, after Li Yuanhao's son succeeded to the throne, he began to depose Hu Li, and he began to implement Han Li because he was envious of Han Li. After all, the Great Song Dynasty was rich enough, so the living habits of China were regarded as a sign of civilization.
However, he was in power for a relatively short time, and then he died of arrow wounds, and the policies he pursued were not supported.
After his wife, Empress Dowager Liang, listened to the government, because of her non-party attributes, she was forced to abolish the Han rites and restore the Hu rites - in order to show that she was severing with the Han bloodline.
Therefore, in the imperial palace of Western Xia, it was also based on the rules of feudal etiquette, and did not implement the set of the Great Song Dynasty.
Ding Yang infiltrated the palace and didn't spend much effort at all. Although the defense is very strict, no matter how strict it is, it can't stop Ding Yang's full force.
That night, after seeing Ye Li Renyu, Empress Dowager Liang lost consciousness shortly after resting and slept extremely dizzily.
Although I was very groggy, I still felt as if I had been tossed and turned over and over for a long time in my sleep. Even if you haven't woken up, you can't avoid feeling a little exhausted.
What made her even more embarrassed was that she slept very deeply, and she had a very absurd dream in the middle.
In the dream, I don't know who she is with, anyway, she lingers until death, and she has been asking for too much.
Since her husband died three years ago, Empress Dowager Liang has been in a certain state of emptiness for the past few years. It's not that she doesn't want to find a lover, in fact, she does find a lover.
But after all, he had just listened to the government and held power alone, and there were still a lot of opposition forces hidden in Western Xia. In terms of Empress Dowager Liang's enthusiasm for power, she doesn't care about physical needs at all.
As long as it can satisfy her control of power, the taste is enough for her to be refreshed a thousand times.
Therefore, before the situation in Western Xia completely improved, her attitude towards her lover was completely dispensable. It was only at the beginning of this year that he gradually and completely mastered the internal and external power of Western Xia, and slowly resumed his relationship with his lover.
But no matter how you say it, you still have to pay attention to the places you should pay attention to, and the communication with your lover can only be carried out secretly.
However, last night's hearty dream really made her feel comfortable from the inside of her bones, and she was even a little reluctant to wake up.
But a dream is just a dream after all, and you still have to wake up when it's time to wake up.
As a result, I never expected that just after waking up, Empress Dowager Liang's heart "chuckled" and found a big problem.
It is not uncommon to have a dream that is not very glorious, it is just a secret refreshment in my heart. But now she realized that this time was definitely not something she had dreamed of, but someone else's way.
In the end, Empress Dowager Liang is not a girl, from the first husband to the second husband to the lover, she is only 25 years old this year, she has experienced more than one man.
It's not unclear about the idea between men and women, even if it's long away, it's still very sensitive.
Judging from the many details on his body, it is obvious that the dream last night was not a dream, but something really happened. The traces left by the man in her body can be hidden from others, but she can't hide from herself.
Fortunately, the time spent in power in the past few years has not been in vain, and Empress Dowager Liang's thoughts can be completely hidden in private, so that others cannot see it on the surface.
She quietly pretended to be nothing, but in fact she had already begun to process the traces. After processing the traces on his body, he secretly began to investigate, trying to find out what happened last night.
If someone secretly attacked her, then it would not be too difficult for someone who could do this to kill her.
It's nothing to lose your body, and losing your life inexplicably is something that Empress Dowager Liang absolutely can't tolerate.
But after an investigation, Empress Dowager Liang was surprised to find that everything was normal last night. Except for the palace maid in her dormitory, who slept too deeply, there was not the slightest abnormal detail.
Including the guards in the palace and the confessions of the patrols, all prove that everything was as usual last night.
This made Empress Dowager Liang feel very uneasy, as if there was a big hand secretly controlling all this.
Although the imperial palace in Western Xia is not large, it is definitely not small. After the whole investigation, it was almost a mess. Even if they try not to expand their momentum, the impact is still very large.
Empress Dowager Liang soon discovered that her investigation in the palace had caused unease among important officials outside the palace.
Although the important ministers outside the palace did not know the reason for her doing this, they would inevitably inquire about the news in private. As a result, rumors spread and all kinds of groundless speculations popped up.
After Empress Dowager Liang received these news, she was a little crying and laughing, and at the same time, she also began to feel that the uneasiness in her heart began to intensify.
If the important ministers outside the palace begin to doubt her control of the rhythm of the inner palace, then there will be doubts about her qualifications to control the power of the court. She didn't know what the domino effect was, but she would never allow it to happen.
So he quietly reined in everything and began to continue to pretend that he didn't know.
But in private, he notified his younger brother Liang Yibury, and dispatched elite guards to the palace to defend. By the way, she changed the dormitory, not to mention, but also increased the palace maids who served.
It was expressly announced that everyone should keep their shifts in shifts, and no one should have a moment of distraction.
As long as someone is on duty, then no rest is allowed, and always be vigilant in the dormitory.
But to her surprise, she had a strange dream again at night, as usual, so comfortable that her whole body was paralyzed, and she was lazy and unwilling to do anything.
As usual, I slept until dawn, and I didn't even stumble in the middle. Except that sleep is sleep, there is no meaning of waking up at all.
In fact, although she has been in charge of the domestic power of Western Xia in the past few years, the quality of sleep has become worse and worse, and many times she can fall asleep without wanting to.
What's more, there are so many things to do every day, and I can't count them to worry about.
Heavy thoughts, many things, of course, the quality of sleep is very bad. However, after two nights, she suddenly found that her sleep quality was unimaginably high. I don't dare to say that I fall asleep with my pillow, at least I don't wake up when I fall asleep.
This kind of day has basically disappeared from her life since she began to have an affair with the emperor, even if she later became the queen, it was still the same.
This little thing in the Western Xia royal family has always been very dirty, and there has never been a clean time. And it was true that Emperor Liangzuo had an affair with her, and it was true that he made her queen, but there has never been a beautiful woman around her.
And Empress Dowager Liang has always had no complaints about this, and is even looking for a sleeping woman for her husband.
In order to sit on the throne of the queen, no one knows how much Empress Dowager Liang paid back then. And after the death of Emperor Liang Zuo, her son was set up to ascend the throne, and the position of the queen mother was not easy to do.
The extreme yearning for power in her nature made Empress Dowager Liang begin to listen to politics at the age of twenty-two.
In the more than three years she was in charge of the Western Xia state, she deeply realized the beauty of power, but she also lost a lot because of it. A perfect night's sleep like this is one of those things that is lost.
As for the sourness of dying and living in a dream, I have never tried it in my life.
If there wasn't a hint of mystery in this matter. Maybe Empress Dowager Liang will admit it.
After her investigation was over, she soon found that the order she had given last night to keep people from falling asleep had not been carried out. That is, at the same time as she began to dream, the maids serving in the palace also fell asleep.
Empress Dowager Liang didn't mean to say anything, and directly ordered to kill the palace maids on duty.
On the third day, however, she felt something again, and she was once again in the middle of that dream, unable to extricate herself.
By the way, there were still palace maids who were on duty that night who fell asleep and failed to complete the order.
So as usual, the head of the palace maid fell to the ground, but she didn't explain anything at all.
But on the fourth, fifth, and sixth days, after three similar situations occurred in a row, Empress Dowager Liang finally figured out a fact - she couldn't kill people to do it.
The dead palace maids have changed batch after batch, but what should have happened has always been one after another.
The palace maids have begun to be reluctant to go on duty at night, and they have been executed one after another, and the reason is that no one can understand that they suddenly fell asleep, so that they failed to fulfill their night vigil duties.
In a short period of time, all kinds of rumors began to spread in the palace, all of which were implicated in the Empress Dowager Liang.
And the execution of palace maids several times also made the cronies around Empress Dowager Liang begin to endanger themselves. After all, these few dead people are not all ordinary palace maids who died, but also the henchmen and palace maids around her.
Things have developed to this point, and even the Empress Dowager Liang began to panic, but she gritted her teeth and refused to admit any crisis.
Even his younger brother Liang Yibury began to hear about it, and asked if there was an accident in the palace. But Empress Dowager Liang never admitted it, and rejected her younger brother's suggestion to invite a monk to dispel evil spirits.
However, a few more days passed, and although she no longer executed the palace maid, what should have happened happened as usual. Even if the Empress Dowager Liang was physically and mentally refreshed, she began to really think about it - it's really not a ghost, right?
It is said that in the palace of Western Xia, it has never been peaceful, and it is not an uncommon accident that there are ghosts.
I had no choice but to feel a little uneasy. If she really hit a ghost, then these dreams of hers ......
Empress Dowager Liang almost didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and hurriedly agreed to her younger brother to invite the master of Chengtian Temple to take a look. Is there really anything unclean in the palace, and it is true to quickly find a way to solve the problem.
Although Empress Dowager Liang didn't tell anyone about her dreams, she did all the traces she did every morning. But just one night when everyone in the dormitory slept to death was amazing enough.
When the master of Chengtian Temple came to the palace, he looked around with a serious face, and sure enough, he pointed out that there were some powerful ghosts hidden in the palace.
Even if none of these ghosts are life-harming demons, there is no guarantee that they will be maintained.
So the frightened Empress Dowager Liang urgently ordered the master to do something, no matter what, she had to deal with the hidden ghosts in the palace first.
Chengtian Temple is a royal temple, and the contemporary abbot is also a famous monk. He personally went out and led several outstanding disciples in the temple to set out together and began to operate this ritual with all his might.
Three days and three nights of chanting and prayer activities were arranged, and the entire palace was turned into a water and land dojo.
The monks can be regarded as having taken out all their housekeeping skills, and there is a lot of trouble inside and outside the palace. The chanting was carried out throughout the day, even at night.
Empress Dowager Liang wasn't sure what the final result would be, but the rest of the palace maids were already greatly relieved.
That night, the Empress Dowager Liang entered the dormitory to rest in the form of almost the practice of monks, and there were many palace maids serving inside and out.
Everyone thought that there should be no more problems that night, but they didn't expect that what should have happened happened - another dormitory, inside and out, all asleep.
And after Empress Dowager Liang woke up, she touched the slippery parts of the vital parts under her body as usual.
Thinking back to the sour feeling in last night's dream, is there anything else you don't understand what happened?
But how can this be? This is completely out of the box! Didn't you say yes, is there a monk doing it? How should it come or come, is it that the monks' practices are completely ineffective?
She is really dumb and eats coptis, and she can't tell if she suffers.
It's just that others can't say it directly when they ask, so they can only vaguely confuse the events of this night.
She didn't say it, but the palace maids couldn't bear it. Obviously, the ghosts in this palace have not been eliminated!
When the monks heard the news, they were all flushed—not ashamed, but angry. I've never seen such a slap in the face!
But the monks' chanting behavior didn't stop overnight! Why are you so playful?
In fact, the results were worse the next night.
