Chapter 303: A Red Palace Maid Died Tragically (8)
The next morning, the morning court, the great court meeting.
Many officials were asking about what happened yesterday, especially Gao Taiwei's two sons, and they directly asked Emperor Kang Ping with a crying voice whether their parents were dead or alive.
Emperor Kang Ping, who listened to it, had a headache so much that he wanted to be autistic.
At the same time, I regret it in my heart.
Knowing this, he should not have invited Gao Taiwei and his wife into the palace yesterday to mourn their daughter, because if the two of them did not enter the palace yesterday, nothing would have happened, and if nothing happened, the matter of the noble concubine would be the royal internal affairs.
He could have gotten angry and not say anything, or wouldn't allow anyone to inquire, although the news might not be able to be hidden, but at least he wouldn't be forced to ask him in the morning.
But now Mrs. Gao and his wife are gone in the palace.
No one is alive, no corpse is dead.
One of the three dignified princes disappeared like this, and the Manchu civil and military had enough reasons and qualifications to pursue it, this is not a family matter, it is a state affair, and it is a major event.
Needless to say, he knew that there must be speculation that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and that Concubine Gao was killed by him, and he used the death of Concubine Gao to trick Gao Taiwei and his wife into killing him, in order to seize Gao Taiwei's military power.
The means are crude, but the effect is really good.
He also borrowed the words of ghosts and gods to take himself out.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, Emperor Kangping himself knew very well in his heart that he was not too jealous of Gao Taiwei, and he was also really fond of Gao Guifei, and even had the idea of setting up the son of Gao Guifei and the fourth prince as the crown prince in his heart.
It's just because of the difference between the concubines.
I have never dared to disobey the law of my ancestors.
Now he is looked at by some ministers with all kinds of strange eyes, and even by the two sons of Gao Taiwei.
He really has a bitterness that he can't say!
At this time, Lao Li, the supervisor of Qintian, was like a ray of sunshine breaking through the haze, shining on Emperor Kang Ping, and bringing him hope, and stood up and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty's Son of Heaven must not be damaged, so I did not come to the apse of Kunning Palace in person, but I and Mansion Master Zhang went to understand the situation in person.
So if you have any questions, just ask us.
We promise to answer truthfully! ”
As he spoke, Lao Li didn't forget to pull Xiao Zhang, who was more than ten years younger than him, over, and then explained with a smile to all the officials present what happened yesterday and what the specific situation is now!
Finally, he specifically said his guess:
"According to my estimate, the old man should be fine, at least he is still alive, but he is trapped in a dry well, and his wife is probably the same.
But if you can't get out in time.
That's hard to say.
After all, even if they fall and are not injured, the air inside can circulate normally, and they may not live long without food or drink, so they still have to be as soon as possible.
Find the evil spirit as soon as possible and try to reconcile with it.
Or break the arrangement of the evil spirit! ”
Those ministers who still didn't believe in ghosts and gods after listening to these explanations probably thought that this was Emperor Kangping's arrangement, so they basically didn't speak, and the rest of them, especially Gao Taiwei's two sons, were angry and dissatisfied with the accusation of Li Jianzheng and Zhang's mansion master.
I feel that they are incompetent and incompetent.
It's just that you can't crack the arrangement of the evil spirit, and you can't even understand the arrangement of the evil spirit, so you don't remind it.
This caused their parents to enter the palace to mourn the accident.
There are even clamoring that Li Jianzheng and Zhang Mansion Master must be allowed to solve this problem, otherwise the two of them will not eat the imperial food for so many years in vain, and they will not be able to solve any problems, and they will be incompetent ministers whenever something happens.
The angry Supervisor Li was on the spot to take the burden and resign.
Cultivators in this world can't live forever, at most, they can live a little longer, a few decades longer than ordinary people, and they have to cultivate more deeply.
The cultivation is poor, in case it is repeatedly affected by evil qi and yin qi into the body.
It's not as long as ordinary people!
In fact, there are no demons to descend on weekdays, at most it is to deal with some yin qi and evil qi, look at feng shui, and dealing with evil spirits is already a relatively difficult operation, because of this, cultivators have a bit of status, but they are not too high-status, at least not above the imperial power.
It is not uncommon for ordinary officials to know very little about them, and even some officials who do not believe in ghosts and gods regard them as liars.
Therefore, the explanation that the two of them just explained how terrifying that evil spirit was, and it was completely like playing the harp to the cow.
The officials who don't know how to do it only think that the two of them are incompetent and waste, and they are excused by their incompetence, after all, they themselves have often done this before, and if they treat others on their own, they think they will do this, not too normal.
In the end, it was Emperor Kang Ping who came forward to reconcile.
And said that if they really don't believe it, they will be allowed to enter the Kunning Palace today to have a look, but those with the blood of the Gao family can't go in, because they may encounter danger, but they can send a few trustworthy people to go, it can be said that in order not to let others suspect that all this is their own plan, they are all in order to seize the military power of Captain Gao, and they specially engaged in a bloody farce.
Emperor Kang Ping really did his best.
After all, Kunning Palace is a harem, and the officials can only enter the Qianqing Palace at most, and the harem will not allow them to patronize, that is, the Queen Mother will hang the curtain to listen to the government, and that is also the Queen Mother who moved to the Qianqing Palace to hang the curtain, instead of letting the officials enter the Kunning Palace or Cining Palace to deal with government affairs or something.
Immediately afterward, Kunning Palace was lively.
It was really a group of people who swarmed into the apse of Kunning Palace, among which the officials who believed what Li Jianzheng said were still a little cautious, and did not dare to go too far, most of them just watched from the side, and some did not even dare to enter, just watched outside the main hall.
Officials who do not believe in demons and gods.
It's much bolder.
Some generals felt that they had great strength, and when they went up, they wanted to pull the plaque out of the ground, and some borrowed a knife from the Ouchi Forbidden Army on the side and went in to cut the plaque.
There were even axes and chisels.
I want to dig a bad well.
In addition, there are also operations that want to fill the well with water, set it on fire, burn the plaque with oil, and even take some black dog blood or boy urine or something, and pour it on the wellhead.
At the end of such a toss, it was useless, it was obviously just a wooden plaque, there was no damage at all, and nothing could be thrown into the wellhead, everything was undoubtedly beyond the cognition of those officials, and some even began to mumble, Zi Bu was silent, not silent, not no, there are really ghosts and gods in this world!
Fortunately, Qu Jie didn't have much malice, if she set up some more vicious backhands here, maybe with a little operation, she could directly take away the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty.
As those officials believed it was true.
The next step is undoubtedly to actively discuss, what to do, although many officials are not very knowledgeable, but also put forward some constructive suggestions, such as whether it can be solved by sacrificing to the sky, is it useful to seal the Son of Heaven?
In short, there are a lot of ideas!
