Luo Yi walked out of the brightly lit palace, thinking back to his conversation with the emperor, looking at the dark night sky, he clenched his fists slightly, "What I am doing now is to follow the time or go against the sky?"

Will the heavens punish me? ”

……

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, countless officials hurried by, and in the house where Luo Yi was, more officials continued to hand over the chapters.

"Prime Minister, this is the Haoqiang who was cleared in the first half of the year, the land that was cleared, and the clans that migrated.

There were 14 families of the most heinous crimes, including seven in Guanzhong and seven in Guandong, and a large amount of fertile land in the counties was found, which was enough to settle 100,000 poor people.

The seven families in Guanzhong, including tenant farmers, totaled 100,000 people, and the Ju people migrated to Hexi and the Western Regions to land and herd horses.

The population of Kanto Haoqiang is larger, according to your plan, some of them have migrated to Liaodong, and a large part has migrated to Jiangdong, which is still underpopulated, but the land is very fertile.

The migration will be completed in about three years. ”

Luo Yi bowed slightly when he heard this, and under the condition that the officials were almost purged, he finally started the real reform, freed up the land, and solved the population pressure.

However, he did not directly declare Dutian or Qingzhang land in the edict, because he did not want to cause a large-scale revolt in the early stage, so he chose the Han Dynasty's traditional attack on Haoqiang as the starting point, and selectively attacked, which made him suffer much less resistance.

Just as he was thinking about what to do next, suddenly a clerk hurriedly walked in, and then went straight to Luoyi, "Prime Minister Wan'an, Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace." ”

The official's face was full of secretive expressions, and there was a trace of fear in the depths of his pupils, which made Luo Yi's pupils shrink, and he said in a deep voice: "What happened?" ”

"The prime minister and the villain dare not say it, please enter the palace and be informed by His Majesty."

The official had a frightened look on his face, and now even everyone in the hall felt that something was wrong, Luo Yi got up and said loudly: "Wait until you do things first, I will go back when I go." ”

Luo Yi hurriedly walked into the palace, with infinite doubts in his heart, and then just after entering the palace, he saw a doctor hurriedly walking out, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

When I walked into the hall, I saw that the emperor looked anxious and haggard, and the attendants lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

Long Qing was lying on the sickbed, her delicate face was pale, like fragile glass, which made people feel even more pity.

Long Qing!

Luo Yi's heart sank even more, this was the only person who could influence the emperor.

"Your Majesty."

Luo Yi stepped forward to make a move, and when Liu Yang saw Luo Yi coming, he said urgently: "Prime Minister, alas, Long'er is seriously ill, and I hurt him." ”

Luo Yi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, what's going on?" ”

Emperor Liu Yang's whole face turned red, and he roared angrily in a low voice: "Some time ago, a witch Gu suddenly appeared in my palace, and I killed a group of people, but I didn't find any clues behind the scenes.

I know it must be those who have been damaged by the reform of the law, and they want to harm me with their evil magic!

But I'm not worried, I'm not afraid of evil arts, but who knows that they didn't even let go of Long'er, and they directly recruited robbery, and suddenly fell ill and fainted, which must have been harmed by witchcraft.

I'm going to kill them all, and exile is too merciful for them. ”

When Luo Yi heard this, he was directly stunned, and his head began to hurt instantly.

Witchcraft!

He never expected it to be this thing.

In ancient times, witchcraft was very formal, offering sacrifices to the heavens, worshipping ancestors, and even curing diseases and saving people.

King Su promoted humanitarianism, and witchcraft gradually became a kind of spelling art, and it was only prevalent in the Chu State, and the magnificent myths of the Chu State were mostly derived from mysterious witchcraft.

Whether the witchcraft has any effect or not, Luo Yi doesn't know.

After all, there are countless myths in his own family, and there is also a mysterious destiny, there is Xizi, there is the ancestor Lingjun, and there is an ageless supernatural person like his mother, if there is really no other supernatural in this world, Luo Yi himself does not believe it.

What if this is really witchcraft?

But it is naturally not possible to let the emperor kill all those powerful families, at least twenty or thirty thousand people will be implicated, and it is only right that these people are exiled to the frontier to farm and graze!

Luo Yi muttered: "Son of Heaven, it suddenly occurred to the minister, just those powerful families, are they really capable of sending witch Gu into the palace?"

They are just some powerful people entrenched in the county, and a county guard can exterminate their court, can such a person reach into the inner court? ”

Luo Yi's words woke up the emperor in an instant, the combination of heroes and forces is indeed very strong, and Dutian will definitely resist in the face of the imperial court, but to say that he can put his hand into the inner court, it is simply whimsical, it is just a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

"What does the Great Prime Minister mean that there are other people staring at me in the dark?!"

"Your Majesty is there anyone suspicious? As long as you catch the person who created the witch and destroy it, you can destroy it.

It is not necessarily because of witchcraft in the dragon servant, the minister can mobilize healers from the family to come. ”

Luo Yi could only follow this line first, and the emperor roared in a low voice, "This is what I want you to do.

You are a descendant of King Su, and you will not be afraid of witch Gu, and the art of witchcraft is only spread among the original Chu people.

Only you can help me, if the dragon has three longs and two shorts, I really ......

Be sure to find those people! ”

As he spoke, his voice gradually weakened, and Luo Yi agreed, this was the only way to stabilize the emperor's mentality.

Luo Yi came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, he looked up at the blue and clear sky, and couldn't help but secretly say: "Is this the will of heaven like a knife?"

The only flaw of the emperor. ”

……

I don't know where the witch Gu thing suddenly spread, this kind of weird thing is something that no one wants to be contaminated with, let alone the emperor, in a short period of time, everyone in Chang'an City is in danger.

"Have you heard about witchcraft? It is said that there was a traitor who cursed His Majesty and that man. ”

"It's terrible, someone dares to curse Your Majesty, this is a death?"

"What's this, it is said that His Majesty killed many people in the palace, but he found nothing, and those who used witchcraft are still at large."

"That man in Long Qing is said to have been caught in the witchcraft and fell unconscious, which is a good thing, it is because such a demon has always been by the emperor's side, so there will be disasters in the world."

"Alas, the emperor is deceived by demons, and he can't listen to the words of loyal ministers at all, the prime minister doesn't pay attention to the emperor's private affairs at all, but only implements changes, if the witchcraft can kill that demon, it's also a good thing."

Especially those who enter and leave the palace forbidden, they are even more nervous, and when the change has just been launched and some effects appear, the witch Gu thing suddenly breaks out, which will definitely have a huge impact on the change, and even die directly!

"In the end, it's stupid to use the witchcraft technique, it's better to spend a lot of money to buy off the servants and assassinate the emperor when he goes out hunting."

Luo Yi followed the clues and checked roughly, and found that the source was too complicated, and a huge flaw of the emperor was revealed, he didn't like women!

The number of people who are jealous of Long Qing is no less than that of the emperor, I don't know how many people want Long Qing to die, the emperor treats his relatives mercilessly, which also makes the royal family very dissatisfied with him.

"It's just that I have encroached on some land, and the whole world is my Liu family's, what is wrong with me, to be reprimanded like this."

In particular, he did not have a son, which led many people to turn to the other sons of Emperor Xiaocheng, and what was more troublesome was that the emperor was certainly not in the mood to succeed a son now.

In the face of this thorny and complicated situation, Luo Yi controlled public opinion on the one hand, so that the reform continued, and on the other hand, he began to peel back the cocoon, there can never be a seamless conspiracy in this world, especially when it comes to the royal family.

"Once I let me know who is destroying the change, I will definitely send you to the Yellow Spring!"

Luo Yi sat in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

In September, there was a witch affair in the palace, and the haze was blazing. ——"Hanshu Mourning Emperor Benji"
