The black smoke reached the sky like a huge pillar. Look at the 'Mao line, Chinese text, and net Fuding Temple has been turned into a piece of rubble. The host and the monks were all pulled out, kneeling on the ground and frowning.

Thousands of people clenched their fists and waved their cries one after another.

A man stood on a high slope and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, the matter of sacrificing to the thousand-year-old god is related to the net worth and life of each of us present, and the queen alone cannot have the final say! Therefore, I appeal to all of you to make it clear to the Queen that the prisoners may be sacrificed to ensure the safety of our good people, and that there will be no concessions. Do you think so?"

The crowd boiled again.

Of course, not everyone was so fanatical, and someone whispered, "Dude, who is the one who is speaking up there?"

"He, he is a wealthy man of the Chamber of Commerce, and I heard that dozens of money banks have been opened across the country, and he is a figure who is rich enough to rival the country. I also heard that behind him is the Tuoba family, and his hands and eyes are up to the sky!"

"If you have the background of the prime minister, why do you want to oppose the queen?"

"I said, why don't you know anything? It's not a matter of a day or two that the queen and the prime minister are fighting openly and secretly. Also, I heard that the Prime Minister repeatedly courted the Queen without success, and finally hated because of love, and always made His Majesty unable to come to the stage......"

"Wow! Such a hot Mishin, man, how do you know?"

"Hey, it's just rumors. Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs......"

In the midst of the commotion, the crowd suddenly quieted down and automatically gave way to a road. I saw a woman riding a white horse slowly.

She is so graceful and elegant, people are unconsciously convinced.

People bowed their heads one after another and said, "Your Majesty......"

Unconsciously, the people had already fallen to their knees. The person who waved his fist just now instantly became the most docile citizen. People tend to be like this, and the most angry always seems to be the easiest to give in.

The queen dismounted and walked up to the rich man and asked, "You instigated the people to make trouble?"

These words are very powerful, and the surname Zhuang was convicted of a lot of crimes based on just one sentence. But the rich man of the village was by no means an ordinary person, he immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this is the will of the people, not the instigation of villains." I hope to see clearly!"

The queen said coldly: "I already know clearly enough: you organized people to set fire to the temple, and also instigated the people to put pressure on me in this way, what is it not incitement?

According to the laws of our country, whoever incites the people to make trouble shall be punished by exile. I advise you to go to the yamen and surrender yourself earlier, if you wait for the people from the government to come, you will have no chance to repent!"

The rich man seemed to have expected the queen to say this. He was not afraid, clasped his hands together in a meddling shape, covered the lower part of his face with wide sleeves, and said gloomily: "If Your Majesty convicts Zhuang with the royal law, Zhuang will naturally have nothing to say." But if it's your own likes and dislikes, it seems a bit reluctant to condemn it, doesn't it?"

The queen said, "Oh, what do you say is wrong?"

Zhuang said: "In Zhuang's view, only encouraging others to do bad things can be called incitement. But Zhuang just told everyone the facts, the big guys are dissatisfied with the policy, in the final analysis, there is something wrong with your approach, what does it have to do with the grass people? I would like to ask Your Majesty, has it been determined that you will not choose to be martyred when sacrificing to the thousand-year-old god?"

People suddenly fell silent, which was the main concern of everyone. In an instant, there was not even a single sound in the square of thousands of people.

Countless thoughts crossed the Queen's mind. Do you first stabilize the people and then mobilize the army to suppress them? Or do you draw bread for the people to satisfy their hunger? Or do you just make up an excuse to prevaricate the past?

The queen was very brave, and she chose to tell the truth. She shouted to the crowd, "Man is martyred." Even if I want to keep the peace, I will never use such cruel means!"

The crowd heard it clearly, and they were disappointed and angry. Everyone could feel the restless atmosphere in the venue, and there was a turbulent undercurrent surging under the indifferent faces.

The little spider hiding in the queen's hair only felt that the bristles on her body stood up one by one, and suddenly a person scolded: "What kind of thing are you, you faint king, who doesn't care about the lives of the people!"

When one person takes the lead, ten people respond, and if ten people respond, hundreds of people agree.

Insults and boos abounded, and the front of Fuding Temple turned into a sea of anger. At this time, the rich man smiled sinisterly, retreated from the high slope, and disappeared into the crowd.

Leaving a bunch of angry people to the queen is enough for things to do here. If you continue to meddle, you will be suspected of adding to the snake.

Everyone said, "Please take back your Majesty's fate!"

"Your Majesty, just a few prisoners can exchange the peace of our country, you can think clearly about which is more important!"

"Yes, how can bad people be protected everywhere in this world, and we law-abiding people will suffer with it?

The queen said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to my explanation!"

But how could her voice alone be more than the voice of thousands? Some of them, driven by anger, had already picked up stones from the ground, and if they were not controlled, the queen might be very unlucky today.

The little spider had a sense of courage in its heart, and it thought: If anyone dares to hurt the queen, he will definitely bite that person's face like a pig's head!

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted: "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to abolish this faint king, and let's choose another capable person to govern!"

It was a real response, and the crazy people rushed towards the queen like a tidal wave. The queen was shocked and lost her voice: "Stop, don't make a big mistake......"

But where are people willing to listen anymore?

But at this moment, a whistle sounded above the crowd, and a man in black fell from the sky.

He took the queen's waist in one hand, and threw out the rope with the other, and was putting a wooden beam in the ruins, and then fluttered up and flew over.

The little spider thought to herself: This person's skills are really good, and he is simply comparable to himself.

The man in black swung into the distance again, directly over the crowd, and landed on the back of a horse. The horse neighed, raised its hooves and threw the crowd far behind in a moment.

The wind whistled past the ears, and the little spider could barely open its eyes. They flew over towns, rivers, mountains, and finally stopped at a green meadow.

The man in black gently carried the queen off the horse, but the queen hooked his neck with her coquettish arm: "I knew you would definitely come to save me!"

The black man laughed and said, "Then you need to say, Your Majesty!" He said the word "Your Majesty" very emphatically, obviously with some ridicule.

After that, he ripped off his mask, and it turned out to be a handsome young man.

"How did you know I was in danger?" asked the Queen.

"Alas, you......" the young man sighed, "you always make me worry like this. I saw you riding alone on a white horse far away, and I thought to myself that if something happened to me, wouldn't there be no one to take care of you, so I hastily changed into black clothes and protected you in secret......

He pondered for a moment and said, "Today is not as usual, these people seem to be making a lot of trouble. I think someone must be behind them!"

The queen's brow locked into a layer of melancholy, and she nodded helplessly.

"Yes, but that's not what worries me the most. My greatest fear is that my people will do it for their own interests at the expense of the lives of others.

Today they can kill those who have committed minor crimes, tomorrow they will fight the ideas of innocent but annoying people, and when the nasty people are removed, the imperfect ones will become the next target......

My country shouldn't be like this, the people shouldn't be like this!, sometimes I really want to ......" At this, the queen's face suddenly turned crimson.

"I really want to ...... with you"

The young man came over and took the queen's hand: "Yu'er, don't talk about it." You are the king, and you are destined to carry more than ordinary people.

I told you that my father was originally a refugee from the Central Plains, and he fled all the way to the great wilderness mountains and almost starved to death.

It was the soldiers who patrolled the mountains that saved him, and it was the soldiers who gave him a stable job. With this job, he was able to support his family, and then he had me.

So even if I love you again, I won't agree to you giving up the throne for me!"

The queen said loudly: "Then I will make you a nobleman! I am the queen and have this power! After you become a nobleman, we can get married and have children openly and be together forever." ”

The young man shook his head: "I have not made any contributions to the country, if I am made a marquis because of your relationship, do I still have a little dignity as a man?"

Don't worry, Yu'er, I will definitely go to the battlefield one day and fight for my fame with a knife and a shot. At that time, I will marry you openly, will you wait for me?"

The queen looked at him: "Okay, I will definitely wait for your ......"

They glanced at each other, and immediately understood each other's intentions, and walked affectionately into the depths of the bleak grass. That night the stars closed their eyes, and the moon covered its face with clouds. The little spider crawled to the treetops and fell asleep.

The next morning, the queen went to the lake and wore her long hair down to the lake, like a goddess.

The young man looked at his lover from afar, his heart full of gratitude. He thought, "Oh my God, how many lifetimes of blessing have you given me such a perfect woman?"

While he was thinking wildly, a shout suddenly came from afar: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The queen was startled, stood up and said to the young man, "It's my personal guards, they're coming for me!"

The young man nodded: "Well, I know, I'll hide now." ”

But the queen held his hand and refused to let go.

He smiled and lowered his head and kissed lightly on the back of his hand. Then he pulled away and left. In a few moments, it disappeared into the shadow of the mountain.

It took a long time for the guards to find the queen.

There was an unconcealed panic on their faces.

The loyal captain of the guard turned over and knelt down: "My subordinates are late for rescue, please forgive your majesty!"

The queen did not immediately give him his up, as usual, but asked, "Da Mogan, since I was a year old, you have been by my side to protect me, and you are my most loyal confidant. Right?"

The head of the Great Mogan guard raised his head and said, "That's nature. Your Majesty can go to the soup and fight the fire, and you will not give up!"

The queen shook her head: "I don't want you to die, I just want you to tell the truth." What the hell is going on in the palace?"

The chief of the guard was suddenly speechless.

The queen said, "Da Mogan, do you want to deceive the king?"

"Weichen doesn't dare!" The head of the guard hurriedly lowered his head: "It's just that many changes have happened in just half a day, the minister ...... I'm afraid that His Majesty won't be able to accept it for a while

Yesterday, the group of Diao people besieged you, and after hearing the news, the ministers immediately rushed to the scene with their troops. only to find that General Murong Zhao also led troops to ......"

The little spider suddenly remembered that Murong Zhao was the red-eyed and white-haired general, he was very upright, and he should also be a loyal minister.

The queen was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Murong Zhao, what's wrong with him?"

"Great General, he ......" The chief of the guard paused and sighed: "The Great General's protector is very anxious, and he didn't see any trace of you at that time, so he was furious and asked his subordinates to arrest all the people present. The people were not convinced, and the two sides fought and fought......"

Hearing this, the queen exclaimed.

Murong Zhao's subordinates are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they are equipped with the most sophisticated weapons in the empire, how can ordinary people be their opponents?

A sense of foreboding rose in the queen's heart, and she asked in a trembling voice, "After...... And then?"

Later, General Murong was furious and killed hundreds of people. The blood flowed from the streets of the cross until he stopped......"

The queen turned pale, took a few steps back, and almost fainted.

The chief guard hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to support her: "Your Majesty, please take care!"

The queen only felt a buzzing in her head, and reluctantly said, "I'm fine, what about Murong Zhaoren, where is he now?"

"The general is going from house to house. Anyone suspected of harboring was arrested and imprisoned by him......"

"Confused!" the queen clenched her fists tightly: "As the head of a country, how can you be so impulsive!"

But then she suddenly realized that something was strange: "Wait. My personal safety should be taken care of by your chamberlain. If there really is any accident, the first to mobilize the forbidden army should also be the forbidden army, why did the forbidden army not move, but the standing army moved first, isn't it contrary to common sense?"

The chief of the guard looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that this is what Prime Minister Tuoba meant. It was he who deliberately revealed your whereabouts to General Murong. ”

The queen suddenly realized, and gritted her teeth and gurgled: "Tuoba old thief, you are so vicious. I must pay you this blood debt!"

The chief of the guard said cautiously: "Your Majesty, please be cautious in your words and deeds. The guards are not monolithic, and I'm afraid they are still the walls at the moment. ”

The queen nodded slowly: "Okay, I understand." Let's go back to the palace, and I'll go to the prime minister to theorize. ”

The little spider knew that it was time to set off again, so it grabbed the queen by the hair and returned to the palace with her.

There was no one on the throne, and the civil and military officials were as chaotic as a pot of porridge.

They divided into two factions and quarreled so much that they almost lifted the roof of the main hall.

One faction is naturally headed by Prime Minister Tuoba. His duck-like voice stood out even in the midst of the noise.

"As I said, the state has its own laws. It was the prince who broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention that Murong Zhao was only a third-class uncle! Doing such a big thing, even if our country has a tradition of 'discussing relatives' and 'discussing nobles', it cannot exempt him from his sins!" Tuoba Feng said proudly.
