Chapter 172: The Journey of the Sun and the Moon
The palace maid died, and was dragged out by the guards on the side, and the body was dismembered and fed to the dogs.
There are two crimes, one is to defile the sacred palace with dirty blood, and the other is because of her incompetence.
It is not a pity for the incompetent to die.
Su Zhan held his forehead with his hand and sighed with palpitations. The palace maid looks like she is only fifteen, she is cute, how good it is to be a concubine in a warm house for herself, she will definitely love her well, why is it the turn of His Majesty the Emperor to kill it?
"What are you doing lying on your stomach, keep sweeping! Before tonight, if I still see blood, you will all die!" Wei Shengguang shouted at the first group of palace people who were prostrate on the ground.
The palace people were submissive, kowtowing again and again, and some people had already calculated finding an opportunity to escape.
"Aiqing. ”
"The minister is here!" Su Zhan just pinched a cold sweat, and then heard Wei Shengguang call him, and hurriedly replied.
Wei Shengguang asked lightly: "The people of the Tianxin Sect said that Wei Shenghuan has been dealt with by them, but I have not seen his body......; Isn't it a bit too much of an incompetent, my big Zhou?"
Su Zhan laughed dryly and nodded his head hurriedly.
"The first emperor was too benevolent and cowardly, which led to my Great Zhou court, incompetent people tend to be powerful, snakes and rats rely on power to gain power, even on the streets of Tai'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are countless people who talk about the government in vain...... These people don't take my Da Zhou seriously at all! Therefore, I will never repeat the mistakes of the previous emperor!"
Su Zhan continued to echo again and again.
"I still remember that when Emperor Wu was there, the purple microstar was shining, and under the iron fist, the ministers were all united, and the soldiers did not need to die, that was the demeanor of my Great Zhou, and it was what my Weisheng clan should look like. But now, the four seas are not peaceful, the barbarians have not been subdued, the Western Regions are ready to move, the King of Han and the King of Liang are suspicious, the ministers of the King of Qi have ill intentions, and the south of the Yangtze River and Liaodong are in a corner of peace and take power by themselves...... These people are all caused by the incompetence of the first emperor, and they have all forgotten who is the king and who is the minister in this whole world!"
Wei Shengguang's mood suddenly became manic and violent, his eyes were fierce, and a trace of golden fire faintly ignited in his eyes, as if a double pupil had appeared.
He roared, "And I am going to create a prosperous era that has never been seen before or since!"
Bang!
A thunderclap flashed in the sky.
Su Zhan only felt a flower in front of him, raised his head suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and the look of shock was beyond measure. It wasn't an illusion just now, but it really flashed a flash of lightning, which split down from the sky and was falling in the distance, like a dragon churning, extremely bright.
Weishengguang suddenly raised his head.
Suddenly a dreamlike call sounded in his ears, it was the voice he had heard in his dream, and the voice became so clear at this moment that he could really feel that someone was whispering in his ear.
"Son, come ......"
The purple microstar in the sky suddenly brightened.
As night fell, the entire Tai'an City was as quiet as a fantasy.
But this is not because the people have developed a good habit of resting at sunset, nor is it because the wealthy scholars who love the land of smoke and willows are suddenly full of interest, but because the recent night is too peaceful, which makes people feel very frightened.
The new emperor ascended the throne and killed Dasheng, not to mention how many people died that night, just the "rebel ministers and thieves" who were ordered by the new emperor to be beheaded in the street market are already countless.
Wei Shengguang almost killed all the heirs left by the first emperor, and the three clans were all exterminated, and all the side lines were slaves, sent to the frontier or used as hard labor. Those courtiers who were once close to the eldest prince and the third prince could not end up well, but fortunately, Weisheng Guangnian and the Yang family were close to him, and the Yuwen family was full of loyalty, and he rewarded his clansmen and added officials to the knighthood.
But even so, the blood on the hands of the new emperor was too much, and for a while, there was a lot of noise between the government and the opposition, and before the night it was as if he heard the evil ghosts of hell under the nine shadows laughing, and the dead were wailing and screaming, their expressions were miserable, and their cries were heartbreaking, and they were creepy and chilling.
There are even more cowards who are haunted by nightmares, and finally they are tortured and commit suicide.
Even during the day, when the yang energy is at its peak, there is a strong fishy smell lingering in the nose, which is disgusting.
In the face of such purgatory-like misery, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to say no, because there were lessons from the past.
At the beginning, Wei Shengguang wanted to exterminate a certain official's family, and there was a third-grade senior official surnamed Wang who was killed on the spot by the armor on the side and beheaded for public display just because he had one more sentence to plead. Faced with this scene, the ministers were terrified, and couldn't help but set their eyes on Sikong Quan and Xun Wuya, hoping that the two of them could use their seniority and prestige to dissuade the new emperor.
And Sikong Quan closed his eyes and said nothing, Xun Wuya bowed his head and said nothing, and no one stood up.
Those who stand up are already dead, and there are not many people with lofty ideals.
The blood of serving the country has long been wiped out by the cold killing, and the rest of the people may die when Wei Shengguang does something more out of the ordinary one day.
And they also hope that in the near future, Tai'an will be able to return to the same as before.
North of the Imperial City, south of Xingtai, Ziwei Palace.
As the third forbidden place in the deepest part of the imperial city, although its scale is not comparable to the entire Beidou and Nandou Palaces, it is far more luxurious than a single one.
Because here is the star soul of the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the leader of the Fourteen Star Monarchs, Zi Weixing.
At this moment, in this dim hall, the three-legged tripod burning with illusory golden flames at the head of the hall suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
The strangely shaped golden runes imprinted on the surface of the copper tripod seemed to glow with new life, and those words emitted a strange sound, and then hung in the air, rising, coiling, and rotating.
The sun was still wearing that wide robe, sitting cross-legged, and between his legs lay quietly a dusty man, like an immortal who had attained the Tao.
Taiyin on the side was also sitting cross-legged like this, but there was one thing between his legs, that is, the artifact left behind after the old man of Tianji was damaged, the Xingluo abacus.
"How?" asked the sun, opening his eyes suddenly.
Taiyin stretched out a hand, opened his thin five fingers, and gently pressed it on the starfall abacus, and the gurgling aura trickled down like flowing water, slowly injecting into the round and lustrous abacus.
Then a deep blue light floated on the surface of the abacus, and a chessboard whistled out like a net, erecting in front of the two. Then the beads on the abacus disappeared one by one, turning into a streamer of light and flying towards the chessboard, like stars falling on the Milky Way.
On the chess board, the stars are dotted, flickering and dark, each piece is connected to the line, and each piece is also in the game.
"That kid from Tianji is really powerful, even I am ashamed of this. After Taiyin made this move, he raised a hand and tapped it lightly in front of a star on the chessboard, and suddenly smiled: "He calculated that 'the greedy wolf enters the house, and the prosperity and decline', so he wants to use the ability to defy the sky and personally stop this hexagram." ”
"Tianji has the ability to perceive everything, and he also has the spell to spy on numerology, but he doesn't know that in the end, he can't see through the will of heaven and can't guess people's hearts!"
"The greedy wolf entered the royal family, and the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years has since gone from prosperity to decline. Tianji is conceited of its ability, and he wants to change his life against the sky, but he was defeated in the hands of the greedy wolf, I really don't know whether to say that the heavenly machine is stupid, or the greedy wolf is treacherous, if it is not for this son to make a hindrance, then Wei Shengzhao that kid will not die, Wei Shengguang will not ascend to the throne, and the country of the Great Zhou is still long. ”
"There is no doubt about the ability of that kid in Tianji, this hexagram, he has calculated it, then no one can reverse it, even if he pays for his life, it is useless, everything is a foregone conclusion. ”
Hearing this, the sun narrowed a pair of wrinkled eyes, and sneered: "This kid is still in a hurry, he knows that his fate cannot be violated, but he still has to try it himself, it is really self-inflicted." If he is willing to let go of the greedy wolf this time, he may not have a chance in the future. If the machine is dead today, save us a big trouble, and no one in this world can renew the life of the Zhou room. ”
Taiyin smiled and echoed: "If it weren't for the fact that the micro-shengzhao was useless, the holy monarch wouldn't have to wait until this moment, the kid of the micro-shengtong made us suffer a lot back then!
"But ......" Then Taiyin changed his words and said with an unkind expression: "It's still difficult to say everything now, the will of heaven is changeable, who knows what will happen in the next moment?"
The sun nodded and said in a deep voice: "The next hexagram, how is the hexagram?"
Taiyin shook his head and sighed: "I am not a heavenly machine, although I have a hexagram, but it is not accurate, and there may be variables." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
Taiyin got up slowly, his waist was straight, and with a wave of his hand, the wide sleeves of his robe rose with a gust of breeze. He stretched out his two fingers and pointed at the brightest star in the northernmost part of the chess board like a chess game, drew a curved arc downward, and pointed it on a board where the stars gathered in the west, and lightly clicked.
"Ziwei greedy wolves fight, seven kills into the Central Plains!"
"Oh? A strange smile appeared on the sun's face as thin as rotting wood, and his ears twitched slightly, and his long eyebrows hanging down from his ears were raised, as if he had heard some news.
Then the sun looked back at the secluded gate of Ziwei Palace, and his eyes were as bright as lightning: "Two people, here." ”
Taiyin stood with his hands in his hands, looked sideways slightly, and said with a smile: "Weisheng was summoned by Zi Weixing, so what is the greedy wolf for?"
"What else can there be, the first palace of the Beidou, the greedy wolf palace. The sun sneered with disdain, and said, "But with this kid's ability, if he really breaks into the Greedy Wolf Palace......
"The realm of Tai Chi is just around the corner, right?" Taiyin still maintained a spring breeze-like smile, then turned his head to look at the chessboard that emitted a ghostly blue light again, stretched out his hand and casually embellished the stars on it, and then waved his big hand, and the chessboard dissipated.
On the altar, the golden and transparent flames in the three-legged tripod burned even more vigorously.
"Tai Chi, so what?"
