Chapter 262: Accidents
The night was deep, Xiao Lingjiang changed into night clothes, avoided his eyes and ears and left the mansion, and then disappeared into the dark night.
This night, except for He Xiangshan, no one knew where she went.
Xiao Lingjiang was taken away from the affairs of the division by the emperor in the name of protection. Even if they don't say it, they have their own suspicions in their hearts.
The words of the assassin at the foot of Yuhua Mountain that day were no longer heard by a few. In addition, Xiao Lingjiang, the Yong'an princess who has always been reused by the emperor, actually stayed at home, and they couldn't help but speculate whether this matter would involve her.
After all, her own father was the highly respected Prince Yiwen back then, but once the palace changed, the blood flowed up and down the East Palace, and Prince Yiwen was the only one left in her lineage.
The traitorous king and Prince Yiwen seized the throne, but King Su, who had never been favored, benefited and became the honor of the Ninety-Five.
If she really had doubts about what happened back then, and colluded with Prince Yiwen's former ministers, it was not impossible to assassinate the current saint.
So in this case, was the palace change back then......
Everyone's hearts froze, and they suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.
As the old saying goes, the king becomes the king and loses. No matter what the truth was back then, it is the current one who sits high on the throne now, so no one will scrutinize everything anymore.
The matter has been settled, so the saint is the destiny of heaven today, and those who want to make trouble are all chaotic ministers and thieves.
Thinking of this, I thought of He Xiangshan and He Zhongcheng, who had never made mistakes recently, and was impeached one after another in the imperial court, and many people suddenly became a little alienated from Xiao Lingjiang and the He family.
On the surface, the emperor still treats Xiao Lingjiang and the He family with a kind and generous attitude, however, the heart of the emperor, how can these old foxes figure it out?
Above the court, there are treacherous clouds and waves, and there are always many villains who see the wind and steer the rudder. Even though Xiao Lingjiang didn't leave the house, he could guess their attitude.
She didn't care about that.
She and the He family entered Yingdu for two years, and was driven by the emperor to go to the palace to Su Chaotang, although she offended many people, but she also made her own contacts.
At this moment, they will not fall to the point where the wall is toppled and everyone pushes them.
What she cares about is the degree of the emperor's move. If the bottom line is crossed, and she and the He family are really forced to the point where they are in a dilemma and difficult to protect themselves, it will not work.
The clouds in the court changed, and the prayer ceremony proposed by the Buddha began soon.
The Xuanyuan Taoist of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Tuozhi Master of Xifan are all respected and transcendent figures in the two countries, and now the two of them are praying for the reconciliation of the two countries, which naturally attracts many people to see.
The emperor had just encountered an assassination when he came down from Taiqingguan, and it stands to reason that it was not appropriate to leave the palace at this time. However, since he had already spoken to Tuozhi that day, the emperor had made a promise, and it was impossible for him to change it.
It's just that this trip, there are a lot of masters around him, and there are secret guards around to pay close attention to the situation so as not to have any more accidents.
As for Xiao Lingjiang, the matter of the assassin has not yet been clarified, although the emperor has not explicitly grounded her, but in the end, she has a grudge against her, and she should not join in the fun.
She had seen a lot of prayer ceremonies, and there was nothing unusual about them. However, she was full of doubts about the purpose of holding this person.
Since she couldn't go, she simply asked Pei You to keep an eye on the group of people in Xifan for herself to see what they wanted.
On the Yuhua Peak, Xuanyuan and Tuozhi each showed their magical powers, cast spells and prayed; In the city of Yingdu, Xiao Lingjiang slowly poured tea and thought about turning.
However, not long after she had lunch, Pei You hurriedly flipped to Xiao Lingjiang's mansion.
Seeing him sweating in a hurry, and the expression on his face was even more serious and anxious, Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help frowning, and stepped forward to ask, "What's the matter?" ”
He went to Yuhua Peak with the emperor today, and if he waited until the ceremony was over and returned with the emperor, he would not be so soon.
Could it be that something has changed? Her heart jumped.
Pei You rarely showed a look of worry: "Auntie, now it seems that the prayer of Tuozhi is aimed at you." ”
"Rush me?" Xiao Lingjiang was puzzled.
Pei You sighed and said, "Today's prayer has an accident......
This prayer was set at the end of the day, and everything went well, but in the middle of the prayer, a sudden gust of evil wind came, blowing out all the incense and candles on the altar, and the Great Zhou Jing flag erected next to it was also rolled up and fell to the ground.
A thunderbolt volleyed down, and happened to fall on the copper tripod placed in the middle of the altar, and then the copper tripod broke with one foot, and with a "bang" sound, it slammed on the ground, shaking people's hearts and trembling.
The faces of those present changed suddenly.
The incense candles and flags are also forgotten. You know, this bronze tripod symbolizes the Great Zhou, and now it has broken a foot and fallen to the ground?
The so-called tripod stands on three legs, so that it can become a stable posture and represent the country's long-term prosperity. The broken foot is now, but it is a sign of ......
Let not be in the hearts of the people.
The emperor sitting on the high platform was even more ugly.
In the prayer ceremony, the Great Zhou and Xifan each found the holy relics of the two countries to condense the imperial spirit of the country and placed them on the altar. The Great Zhou is the top of the country, and the one in Xifan is the treasure knife of the town.
An evil wind blew, and the things used in the Xifan prayer were not damaged at all, but most of the Great Zhou was destroyed.
Doesn't this mean that his position as an emperor cannot be stable, and the state of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be prosperous!
The right palm of his right palm holding the armrest of the seat was bruised, and the emperor held back his throbbing temples, gritted his teeth and asked, "Daoist Xuanyuan, what's going on?" ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Sage, please forgive your sins." It should be because of the thunderbolt that the tripod body is brittle, and the tripod foot cannot support the weight of the tripod body, so it breaks and falls. ”
"I can see that." The emperor's voice was angry and cold, "What I ask is that the Great Zhou and the Western Fan jointly prayed, why did this strong wind blow out the incense and candles of the Great Zhou alone, and rolled over the Great Zhou flag, this thunderbolt, why did it go to the top of the Great Zhou Dynasty alone!" ”
Xuanyuan was speechless for a while, and when he came to Da Zhou alone, things would definitely be different. Xuanmen believes in the destiny of heaven, such a vision, maybe it is a warning from heaven, maybe someone is doing trouble, wanting to cause chaos.
If you don't check, he can't tell clearly......
However, at the moment, when everyone is staring at the situation, he can only temporarily appease people's hearts: "Back to the saint, according to the poor way, this matter is strange, maybe someone deliberately did it, wanting to destroy today's prayer ceremony and stir up panic in people's hearts." ”
As soon as his words fell, Tuozhi on the side answered: "What Xuanyuan Daoist said is only one side, the so-called heaven shows its changes, and it is a warning to the subordinates. Now this vision is not a warning from heaven......"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
