Section 52 Gradient (4)

The departure of Du Zhubei made the two heads of the Dayun Guangming Temple feel very disappointed, and the Manichaean Pope Balutosa had a good impression of Du Zhubei, and the Pope thought that this person who was very disappointed in the Yu Dynasty might become an important part of Manichaeism's establishment of a bright country, but he did not expect Du Zhubei to be so stubborn about the distinction between Hu and Han.

"Du Zhubei is just a rotten man with extraordinary force. You don't have to take it personally. Mr. Xiao stroked his beard, he was among the three saints and seven sects of the Central Plains martial arts, known as the "Five Extremes Returning to the Sect", and looked down on the newly rising Jianghu like Du Zhibei.

"Thank you so much for the Son. Jing Shenghui said: "If it weren't for the Holy Son getting food from Han Xiangguo, otherwise this action would be unsustainable." ”

Mr. Xiao shook his head, Han Gang's thoughts, he was looking at the fire. With Han Gang's vicious old spicy, most of them wanted to use these grains to find out the organizational context of Manichaeism and the snares of Hu merchants controlled by Manichaeism.

Now that the situation is compelling, I know that it is Han Gang's poisonous bait and I have to eat it.

"Han Gang's thoughts, I don't say it, you know it. I'm afraid that in a few days, it will be a legal disaster. Garrisons in various places have begun to move. Mr. Xiao said to Jing Shenghui: "The Pope has ordered His Holiness to be in charge of Bai Yujing's arrangements, I don't know what His Holiness plans next?"

"Or petition for the Lord. Jing Shenghui sighed, the internal fighting of the Mobei Uighurs had expanded to such an extent that it was really beyond their calculations. With regard to the Uighurs, Manichaeism had originally intended to slowly encroach on the Uighurs under the guise of backdoor listings. But he didn't expect that Yao Luo and Duli would be so strong, and they would not hesitate to fight.

Since then, the power of the Manichaeans has declined, after all, they and the Uighurs are one and the same.

"What's the use of petitioning? The imperial court's intention to ban Manichaeism has spread widely. Mr. Xiao pointed his fingers and said: "The emperor's close ministers, Li Deyu and Li Shen, have always mentioned that they want to ban Manichaeism. Han Gang also agreed, the reason why he didn't do it now was because he wanted to take down Wen Minxing. ”

"Holy Son, rest assured, we are not without countermeasures. Jingsheng Hui said: "It's just that the strength of the remnants of the Guangming Sheng's tent is still too weak, if you can get the land of Fengzhou and the three surrendered cities to stay in the herd, it would be good to take advantage of the situation to suppress the Yu Dynasty and hand over the land of herding." ”

Manichaeism's current strategy is still based on the Uighurs, and the first priority now is to renew the tone of the weakened Uighur court.

"Song'er, you often walk in the palace, what kind of person is the emperor?" Mr. Xiao asked He Basong.

Mr. Xiao and He Basong's father are old friends, and the son of the old friend was framed and imprisoned, so Mr. Xiao naturally has to take care of it. On that day, he broke into the prison of Dali Temple, rescued He Batsong, and took He Batsong under his door. He Basong was also able to cultivate the martial arts of Yue Gu Han and Mr. Xiao, two peerless masters.

The young man who escaped the catastrophe was not happy, and his fate fell from the clouds to the bottom of the mud in a few days, and then turned over from the bottom of the mud, but life turned a corner, and he could never return to the past.

"Before His Majesty, everyone said that he was gentle and almost cowardly. He Basong said: "If it weren't for his rootlessness and lack of support, and Cheng Qili was particularly partial to him, he would have been bullied to death long ago." I heard that this time it was also a plan by a bachelor named Bai Letian and the eunuch leader Cheng Qili. ”

"A weak lamb, no matter how fat it is, is only the prey of the wolf. Nu Nan said: "I originally thought that the Son of Heaven who could win the position was such a great person, and I didn't want to be a person who made things happen because of people. ”

"The emperor cannot be underestimated. Mr. Xiao shook his head and said, "Although he is a faint monarch who abides by the doctrine of Confucianism, after all, there are masters like Na Luo Yan and Cheng Qili by his side. ”

"I'm going to visit the palace tonight, hoping to change the emperor's mind. Mr. Xiao sighed and said, "If he can be sensible and avoid the bloodshed of the world, it will also be a blessing." ”

Jing Shenghui and Nu Nan glanced at each other, and found the irrepressible joy in each other's eyes.

"The two of us are willing to accompany the Holy Son into the palace and make a speech to the emperor. ”

Mr. Xiao nodded and said, "It's okay, Song'er, you are familiar with the situation in the palace, so you will lead the way this time?"

He Basong glanced at Jing Shenghui and the slave was difficult to get rid of, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Since the Empress Dowager was no longer in the Linchao Dynasty, she still lived on the top floor of the Mingtang Palace.

The tallest building in the Miyagi complex is the best place to watch, and once the surrounding entrances and exits are closed, anyone who wants to contact the Empress Dowager will need to climb along the outer wall of the Mingtang Palace, which is an almost impossible task.

The palace maids who used to serve the Empress Dowager have all been dismissed from the palace, and their rosters have been made separately, and their husbands and children will also appear on this list.

Chen Chaoen once proposed to Li Xu that he simply do nothing and say that all these palace maids would die, but Li Xu was still unwilling to commit such a crime against humanity.

After the culprits are strictly controlled, these ordinary people, who are not even minions and henchmen, will not cause any more trouble. Li Xu didn't want the struggle at the top to spread too widely.

Since Li Xu reached an agreement with the inner court and the outer court to pro-government, the second and third floors of the Mingtang Palace were discontinued.

Li Xu didn't want to summon ministers under the huge iron phoenix to deal with state affairs, and the emperor chose to continue to live in the cool hall he was accustomed to.

Miao Siyi respectfully led Li Xu in front, he had always been worried that his ignorance of Li Xu in the past would bring disaster to him, but judging from the current situation, the emperor intended to let him continue to serve as the caretaker of the Queen Mother.

Miao Siyi didn't dare to believe the strength shown by the emperor, in fact, he had not rested well in the past month, and often woke up in the middle of the night, dreaming that he had been caught and cut by a thousand knives.

In order to save his life, he had to tighten his control over the Queen Mother. Hoping that his conscientious performance will make the emperor forget the offenses of the past.

However, a few days ago, there was a problem, and the Queen Mother, who was under house arrest in the Mingtang Palace, began to show some symptoms of madness.

The Queen Mother began to speak into the air, as if to the concubines she had given her death, and sometimes the Queen Mother's words seemed to be to the God Emperor. Sometimes, the Queen Mother acted as if she was still in power, and issued orders to the invisible ministers in the air, saying that she would depose the unscrupulous emperor Li Xu and replace it with Li Jian, the king of Shu, to inherit the throne of the God Emperor.

So Miao Siyi hurriedly reported it to Chen Chaoen, and Li Xu naturally wanted to come and see this kind of thing in person.

Seven or eight fat chamberlains moved down the cumbersome wooden pole that sealed the third floor of the Mingtang Palace, and Li Xu stepped into the place where the Queen Mother rested.

Compared with the last time he came to meet the Queen Mother, the third layer at this moment seemed to be a little declining. The palace maids who shuttled among them have now been removed from the palace, and there are only not many servants left, and most of the porcelain and jade have been packed into storage, nominally in order to prevent the queen mother from using these things to find a short view, but in fact, the people below are trying to cater to Li Xu and Cheng Qili.

Li Xu looked at the third floor of the depressed Mingtang Palace, and recalled the luxury of the last time he came here, and there was a kind of trance where the wind was always blown away by the rain and wind.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is there at this time. Miao Siyi hung a flattering smile and led the way in front, the rooms in the Mingtang Palace were scattered, I don't know why, the Queen Mother is now confined in the room called "Wanqing", which is exactly the last time Li Xu met the Queen Mother.

Pushing open the door of the house, the household items here are still the same as when Li Xu came last time, Persian carpets, hookahs, and the huge round bed.

The windows were nailed to death by Miao Siyi to prevent the Queen Mother from jumping off the window if she couldn't open it for a while.

Miao Siyi and Chen Chaoen stood quietly outside the house, and only Li Xu walked into the house alone.

The woman who had nominally ruled Dayu was imprisoned in the palace where she lived, and the eunuchs who watched over her were once her close ministers. All this was so ironic that Li Xu couldn't help but smile.

Li Xu walked to the Queen Mother in a few steps, the Queen Mother was wearing a bright palace dress, a pale yellow skirt, a purple placket, and gold and silver jewelry on her head.

"You're here. The Queen Mother suddenly laughed when she saw Li Xu walk in, she smiled, and the silent room also had a lot of color. "The slave family has been waiting for you for a long time, Brother Quan. ”

Li Quan is the name of the God Emperor.

Li Xu looked at the Empress Dowager's carefully dressed makeup, would a woman who had gone crazy dress up for herself?

"Brother Quan, are you taking the slave family to go on a trip or hunting today?" Empress Dowager Wen stretched out her hand to Li Xu, wanting him to catch it. But Li Xu stepped back and ignored her.

"What's wrong with you, don't you want me? Didn't you say that you want me to be your queen, and you want me to give you a future emperor of Dayu?" The queen mother's eyes were ignorant, with a little sadness.

"Brother Quan, I know, it must be King Zhou who bullied King Chu, don't worry, I'll go talk to the Holy Queen. King Zhou was confused and wanted to be the emperor. Brother Minxing knows much better than his Lao Tzu, he said that this world is only the Li family, and our Wen family is to give birth to you children, hehe......"

Li Xu looks very much like the God Emperor, which was mentioned by Yu Fuguo and Cheng Qili.

"Brother Quan, Brother Quan, do you know? I fell in love with you when I was twelve years old, and you went hunting on the outskirts of the city every day, and passed by my door in the evening, and I hid in the embroidery tower every day to watch you. Hehe, I never told you......"

"Later, the Holy Queen liked me and brought me to the palace to raise me, and my father and mother were very happy, but I was happier than them. Daddy and mother are happy because the Holy Queen cares for me, and I am happy because I can get closer to you when I enter the palace. ”

"People married you later, hehe, you are so good, you didn't lie to me, you really would marry me, you didn't let me wait for you all the time. There were some tears in the Queen Mother's eyes: "But Brother Quan, why did you secretly pour me that kind of medicine, so that I couldn't have children." Didn't you say let me raise the emperor for you?"

"There are also people surnamed Zheng and surnamed Wang, why did you bring them into the palace, you and a little palace girl went down to the king of Jin, you said that you wanted to give the king of Jin to me as a son to raise, but why do you have to find someone else? Didn't you say that you only love me alone?"

Tears rolled down her face, wetting the blush on her face.

"I killed them, hehe, Brother Min Xing and that minion from Han Gang joined forces with Yu Fuguo to kill you, hehe, you can't think of it, they all betrayed you. ”

Hearing this, Li Xu turned around and left.

The Queen Mother is not crazy, or she has long been crazy.

"All of you are not allowed to talk to her, not a word. Whatever she said, I copied it down and sent it to me, and I read it every day. Before leaving, Li Xu instructed: "Only give her two large bowls of unsalted lard bibimbap every day, with some boiled vegetables." Eat normally every 5 and 10 days, but not too much. ”

Li Xu turned around and left, and the third floor of the Mingtang Palace was sealed with a wooden bar.
