Chapter 35: The Heavens Are Strange & Irreversible
Moreover, I am afraid that the epidemic has been hidden for so long, and it was poked out a few days after the Shangsi Festival, and some people are pushing it.
It's just that I don't know if that person was targeting Murong Jinbu's game, or if Murong Jin entered the game by mistake. After all, the person in charge of the sacrifice has always been the Taichang Temple where the fourth son of the emperor Murong Fan served, not the Zongzheng Temple where the seventh son of the emperor Murong Jin served.
The sacrifice is a major event, the second day of February went out of the pool, the third day of March saw blood, and after the snow disaster, there was an epidemic, as if to verify that the failed sacrifice really offended the heavens, so the punishment was lowered.
Snow disasters are natural disasters and cannot be avoided, but they are not.
Li Xiang remembered that when he first sent Qincha, he was accompanied by an imperial doctor, so the epidemic existed at that time, or even earlier, as early as when his father and brother and the prince left Beijing with illness!
It's too well hidden, and there is not the slightest rumor!
Also, last year's heavy snow is rare in ten years, the snow disaster has killed and injured countless people, the snow has not stopped, the humerus of the first family Li family and the royal marriage, nine sedan chairs, ten miles of red makeup, gold leaf does not want money with the sedan chair, its grandiose extravagance, people are staggered, at this time to the people said: There are too many people who died in the snow disaster, and because you did not bury your family early, so many people got the epidemic, and it was transmitted from person to person! Is this for fear that no people will rise up?
But if they don't do it big, they are also afraid that the Li family will turn against the water, follow the East Palace for generations, spare no effort to guard the world of Dayan, branded with the three words of Murong family, treat the only girl of the Li family like that, a girl who is less than twenty-eight years old, the heirs of the Li family are thin, but their protégés are everywhere, their loyalty is clear, and they are famous all over the world, it stands to reason that this is much easier than the rebellion of the ordinary people, after all, as long as there is a reason, maybe it can really be done.
But the people didn't know the order, let alone the twists and turns, they only knew that on the second day of February, when they prayed for good weather and abundant harvests, they actually saw blood, died, and were buried in the imperial field! They only know that in the March 3rd Shangsi Festival, which prays for smooth weather and peace for the country and the people, not only did they see the dead in blood, but they also saw the naked ** corpse in the National Temple, and a person died at the gate of the Dali Temple, which specializes in investigating the murder case!
Then, immediately after that, the plague was poked out......
Thinking about it like this, Murong Jin seemed to have no choice but to apologize with death.
Li Xiang silently dispelled this thought, Murong Jin can't die now, before he reaches the fiefdom, he has to live well, otherwise, she will not be able to leave Kyoto City for the rest of her life!
"Where are people locked up? What does the palace say? Is the epidemic serious again, will many people die, or has it been under control and is now out of control again? Li Xiang smoothed it out, leaned on the soft pillow, and asked about the spring rain.
Father and brother are back, the dark pillar can move, grandfather gives those people and the father and brother are also investigating why they can't be contacted, Chunyu can come to Li Xiang and say this, that is, he has figured it out.
People are now locked up in the temple to worship the Buddha; The palace didn't say anything, and the concubine took the nine princesses to run to the Longyin Palace every day; The epidemic was originally under control, but overnight, suddenly everyone's condition worsened, and there were not 10,000 but 8,000 people who died.
"Actually, there are still ......" Chunyu added a few more words.
After listening, Li Xiang couldn't help but think: Murong Jin is really unlucky!
Because......
Qin Tianjian came out to watch the sky at night again!
Following the nonsense last time, Qin Tianjian directly stabbed Murong Jin with a spear this time, without being tactful, and almost said directly to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu: Look, it's our Seven Princes, it's all because of him, otherwise, none of this will happen!
Originally, the matter of Shangsi Festival was investigated, and it had nothing to do with him, and it was okay to punish him for a few years and scold a few words of Taimiao for a few days, after all, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were not fools, there must be someone who deliberately disturbed the sacrifice, Murong Jin's reputation was very good, and no one thought about the prison guards stealing from themselves, but just when he was about to be released, the epidemic suddenly became uncontrollable, and it was exposed in front of the people. Pushed him back all at once, let alone let him out, it would be good if he didn't push him out for the sake of civilian anger.
Yes, civilians are outraged. It's already a ruckus out there!
It's just that Li Xiang has eaten and vomited in the past few days, and she is in a state of malaise, and no one has told her this. Now Chunyu told her this, because the situation is about to get out of control, it is said that to hand over Murong Jin to Dali Temple for investigation, the prince is in charge of the trial, and it is necessary to find out whether he is involved in the affairs of Shangsijie, whether he is ineffective or deliberately releasing water, whether it has nothing to do with him or is he guarding and stealing, whether it is a disaster or his heart can be punished.
What is the place of Dali Temple, Dali Temple......
To put it simply, people who enter Dali Temple can't get out without shedding a layer of skin, and few of those who go in are alive. Most of the officials in Dali Temple look like scholars, the kind that has no power to restrain chickens, but those who have been in know that they are all jade-faced Hades.
Li Xiang looked at the patterns on the quilt and thought sullenly, she didn't worry about Dali Temple, after all, Murong Jin was the prince, the prince was the eldest son, that was his younger brother, Murong Jin was really missing arms and legs in it, and the prince had to be brutally involved.
What she cares about is Yan Wei. That's the real thing! The life of a family of people and children within five suits!
Recently, Li Xiang received a letter from her grandfather, and after her father and brother came back, she couldn't remember what happened before, but as a family that has guarded Dayan for generations, she has thoroughly figured out the distribution and responsibilities of the entire Dayan power organ.
"Three provinces, six departments, twenty-four divisions, one family, nine temples and five supervisors", the three provinces gradually only left the post of prime minister, and the others did not innovate, but gradually extended a highly confidential organization in the hands of the royal family - Yan Wei.
As the name suggests, the guards who protect Dayan. It is a sharp blade that only belongs to the royal family, only obeys the orders of the emperor, and it is reported that each of its leaders is also a member of the royal family, and their biggest role is to dispose of some people who really have no evidence or cannot be punished through the trial, and those who have seen them have been killed. The most recent case, apparently by Yan Wei, occurred 10 years ago.
Li Xiang shook his head, feeling that he was probably lying down too much, and his brain was not good, how could he put this on because he had been learning about these things recently! You must know that within Murong Jin's five suits, including all the royal family members who are alive now, and how much does Emperor Jiaming have to dislike Murong Jin before he orders to kill his son in this way?
It's nonsense at all, Murong Jin is obviously very favored, it seems that he has a lot to do with the prince? Otherwise, how could the crown princess hand her the note?
Therefore, don't worry about Murong Jin's safety, what you have to worry about is how to get him out!
