Chapter 102: The Judge of the Yin Division
Guanyin Bodhisattva repelled the soul of the old dragon of Jinghe, and dipped the willow branch in his hand into the fairy dew in the jade bottle, and sprinkled the drops of fairy dew on the willow branch to Taizong Li Shimin......
In the dormitory, Taizong was waking up leisurely, and he just shouted in a loud voice: "There are ghosts! There are ghosts!
Empress Changsun and the concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards all heard the news, and the eunuchs carefully served Taizong, and everyone trembled, lest something happen to the emperor, and the people in the palace were also sleepless all night.
Early the next morning, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting outside the court gate to go to the morning court. Waited until the sky was bright, and still did not see the emperor coming to the court, and the officials talked about it, not knowing why the emperor did not come to the early dynasty, which did not seem to be the style of Emperor Taizong, who had always been diligent in government affairs.
The officials waited patiently for a long time, and waited until the third pole of the sun, when a eunuch dressed in yellow came out of the palace gate and announced that Taizong said: "I am not feeling well today, and all the officials are exempt from the court." ”
Unconsciously after seven days, the officials still did not see Emperor Taizong, so the worries of the court officials deepened, thinking that "the country cannot be without a monarch for a day", under the leadership of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, they were about to crash open the palace gate and forcibly greet the driver.
"The Queen Mother's decree has arrived!"
A eunuch's sharp voice sounded, and the officials hurriedly received the queen mother's decree.
"The Empress Dowager has a decree: Xuan Hu Guogong, Wei Chi Gong, and Wei Cheng Xiang will meet and drive. ”
Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, and Wei Zheng received the order and hurriedly came to the dormitory.
The three of them met Taizong and greeted Emperor Taizong, Taizong, who was in poor health and tired, had a dark face at the moment, with a white belt on his forehead, and he was no longer energetic and high-spirited in the past, after being helped up by the palace maid, Taizong sighed: "Three virtuous people, the widow led the troops at the age of nineteen, fought in the south and the north, fought in the east and west, and worked hard for more than ten years, I have never seen the slightest evil worship, but I didn't expect to see the hell that day!"
Wei Chi Jingde is a military general, and he is used to being rude, so he said loudly at this time: "When Your Majesty founded the country, he also had bloody battlefields and killed countless people, why are you afraid of ghosts now?"
"Jingde, Qing doesn't believe it. But outside the door of my dormitory, as soon as the night falls, the ghost calls the ghost, making it difficult for me to sleep. There is nothing in the daytime, but at night it is noisy and abnormal, the bricks and tiles are ping-pong, and it is difficult to help it all night, and I have been teaching me to have a splitting headache for the past few days!"
Uncle Qin comforted: "Your Majesty is relieved, tonight, the two of you and Jingde will guard the palace gate to see what kind of sneakiness is there." ”
"Okay! Then it's hard work for the two Aiqing. Taizong nodded in agreement.
For three days and three nights in a row, Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Jingde wore military uniforms and fulfilled their duties to guard the front door, while Wei Zheng held the sword of Zhulong and stood in front of the back gate, guarding the back door.
In the past few nights, the lights in the dormitory are bright, and there are no ghosts at night. However, Taizong was frightened due to those nights, and was invaded by yin and evil in his body, so he couldn't afford to fall ill, and his illness gradually became heavy.
One day, the sick Taizong called Wei Zheng to the bed in the dormitory, ready to entrust the aftermath. Wei Zheng couldn't bear it in his heart, so he played: "Your Majesty is relieved, the minister has a way to ensure that Your Majesty recovers as before and lives a long life." ”
Taizong smiled bitterly, "I am terminally ill and my life is in danger, how can I recover as before?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister has a letter here, deliver it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty can take the letter to the Netherworld Mansion and hand it over to Cui Qi, the judge of the Xudu Capital. As he spoke, Wei Zheng handed over a letter he had written to Taizong.
"Who is Cui Jue?" Taizong couldn't help but ask.
"This Cui Jue was originally a courtier of the Emperor Taishang (Gaozu Li Yuan) before driving, and he was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. When he was alive, he had eight friendships with his ministers and got along very well. He is now dead, but he is in charge of the book of life and death in the Yin Si, and he often meets his ministers in his dreams. ”
Taizong braced his body and listened attentively.
"Your Majesty is gone, you can hand over the minister's handwriting to him, he cares about the brotherhood of Weichen, and will inevitably let His Majesty come back, and teach His Majesty's soul to return to the Yang world. ”
Hearing this, Taizong took the letter in his hand, wrapped it in his sleeve, and then closed his eyes and passed away.
In an instant, Taizong Li Shimin's soul has been out of the body, fluttering, insignificant, a wisp of soul path since came to the front of the Wufeng Tower, only to see a group of Imperial Forest soldiers and horses have been waiting here, the general of the Imperial Forest Army saw the emperor and hurriedly saluted, and asked the royal car to go out to hunt.
Taizong readily agreed, so he walked all the way. After marching for a long time, all of a sudden, the men and horses of the Royal Forest Army disappeared without a trace, leaving Taizong alone in the wilderness, not knowing where to go.
When he was hesitating, a person over there shouted: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, come here!
Taizong heard the voice and looked up to see the man, the man's sideburns were fluffy and floated to his ears, his face was full of thick beard, the black gauze floating soft belt on his head, the waist was rhino horns, and he was stepping on foundation boots, and a book peeked out of his arms.
When Taizong came closer, the man was extremely respectful to Taizong, made a big salute, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has never greeted him from afar, I hope to forgive my sins!"
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
"Your Majesty, half a month ago, Weichen saw the ghost dragon of Jinghe on the Senluo Hall and told His Majesty to save and fight back, and the first palace of the Yin Division, the king of Qin, sent the ghost envoy to urge His Majesty to confront him. After the minister knew about this, he specially came here to wait for His Majesty, I am afraid that you do not know the way of Yin Si. I didn't expect it to be late today, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins, forgive your sins!"
"Oh, what do you call you, sir?"
"When Weichen was alive, he first served as the commander of Zizhou, and later served as the official salute of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister's surname was Cui Mingqi. Now the minister is in Yinsi, and he is the judge in charge of the capital city. ”
Taizong was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly approached Judge Cui, "Mr. Cui has worked far away." Before I drove Wei Zheng Wei Aiqing had a letter, which was about to be handed over to Mr., but I didn't expect to meet here. ”
As he spoke, Taizong took out the letter from his sleeve cage and handed it to Judge Cui. Judge Cui took the letter from his brother Wei Zheng, and opened the letter to read it.
Wei Zheng's letter is sincere, eloquent, full of brotherly affection, read the letter of the righteous brother Wei Zheng, Judge Cui was very happy, so he said to Taizong: "My righteous brother Wei Cao Qiantian dreamed of cutting the old dragon of the Jing River, the minister has long known, the minister has always admired my righteous brother, and after I passed away, he took care of my children and grandchildren every day. Today, since the righteous brother has a letter to come, His Majesty will relax his heart, and Weichen will keep it and send it to His Majesty to return to the world, and re-ascend the Yuque Jinluan. ”
Taizong hurriedly thanked him. When the two were talking, they saw a pair of boys in green clothes, holding black and white banners, shouting: "Then Emperor Tang, the king of Hades is invited, the king of Hades is invited!"
So, a pair of boys in Tsing Yi led the way, and Taizong Li Shimin and Judge Cui walked forward.
In front of it is a majestic city, and there is a big sign hanging on the city gate, on which are written seven big golden characters of "Netherworld Ghost Gate".
The two boys in Tsing Yi who led the way shook the black building and led Taizong into the city, and Taizong and Judge Cui walked down the street.
Suddenly, Taizong's eyes widened, with an unbelievable expression on his face, it turned out that on both sides of the street there were his father, the former emperor Li Yuan, and his brother, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who died in the Xuanwumen Mutiny, suddenly saw his brother and enemy Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were also very surprised, but immediately raised their voices and shouted: "Shimin is coming! Shimin is here!"
The voice is high-pitched, poignant, and excited, mixed with anger and deep hatred......
