Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Mid-Autumn Festival Night
The young doctor who was invited to sit with the two dragon kings couldn't help hesitating when asked about the incident.
"This matter is bizarre and absurd... I don't know if the two of you believe it."
"Anyway, try to explain it first."
Under the urging of the Qinglong King, although the young doctor was somewhat concerned about his local accent, he still spoke.
The young doctor named Feng Wenzhi, 27 years old, has been practicing medicine in Bingjing in the north for generations. Later, he got tired of living in the countryside and decided to come to Kaifeng to learn the most advanced medical skills in the capital, with the goal of becoming a famous doctor in the world.
Different from the leisurely pace of his hometown, Kaifeng has a large population and the speed changes rapidly. As soon as he squeezed into the crowd, he began to feel dizzy, so he could only sit paralyzed by the side of Yangliu Avenue.
Just as he was struggling to find a place to stay, a child fell down in front of his eyes, his knees were bleeding, and he was crying in pain.Unable to sit idly by, Feng Wenzhi opened the medicine box to treat the child, and then watched the recovering child run away, while smiling wryly, "Oh, it's a waste of time." The vicious big man was standing beside him.
"Are you a doctor?"
"Yes, as the strong man sees it."
"I have a patient here, please take a look."
"It's not a problem to see a doctor, but I have just arrived in the capital and haven't decided where to stay yet."
"I will arrange the accommodation for you. If you come to see a doctor immediately, I will pay you fifty taels of silver, and if you cure the patient, I will pay you three hundred taels of silver. How about it?"
When Feng Wenzhi heard that he was wary, there was no such good thing in the world, and there must be a lot of inside information.Just as he was about to refuse, he caught sight of the man holding the handle of the knife. Before he knew it, other accomplices of the man had surrounded him.
Once he refuses, he will definitely lose his life, Feng Wenzhi realized this, the worst thing is to let the other party know that he has just come to the capital from somewhere.Even if his whereabouts are unknown, it will not cause an uproar, and the incident will be wiped out without anyone noticing.
So Feng Wenzhi had no choice but to resign himself to fate, and nodded in agreement.
"Then let us lead the way for the doctor."
One man covered Feng Wenzhi's eyes with cloth strips, another carried him on his back, and another held the medicine box.
Feng Wenzhi came to Kaifeng for the first time in his life. Now not only his eyes are covered, but he is not allowed to go by himself, and he has no idea where he is being taken.
When the blindfold was removed, Feng Wenzhi was already standing in a dark cave with lights on.Amid the unbearable stench, I saw a strange-looking creature lying on the rock platform. It had two horns and six arms. It was tied up with big locks and leather ropes, probably to prevent it from rioting rashly.Seeing a long spear penetrating from the top of its head to its jaw, Feng Wenzhi couldn't help frowning.
"Under what circumstances did you get injured?"
"You don't have to ask too much about the accident that happened during the cleaning of the long gun. Come on, and treat it quickly."
"I understand, then please light up the lights a little bit, and then absolutely ask the patient to keep quiet. If you break the spear casually, there is nothing you can do if you try to take it out."
After his careful observation, the cave is made of stones, which seems to be man-made.Feng Wenzhi had no idea about the underground waterway in Kaifeng, so he mistook it for the mysterious room of the mausoleum. Then he glimpsed a strange pattern of a god statue with a bull's head and a human body on the wall. Feng Wenzhi was so frightened that his heart went cold. .
"What do you think, doctor?"
"Let An take a large amount of Mabosan first, then cut his mouth and take out the spear, then disinfect the wound and suture it."
"This will restore it, right!?"
"To be precise, there is no other way. Next, you have to follow my instructions completely and prepare all the necessary items. If you don't listen to me, what happens? There is no need to be responsible."
Feng Wenzhi believes that even if he doesn't have much confidence in his heart, it is better to have a tougher attitude at this time.His judgment was correct, and the villains nodded in agreement without saying a word, and asked:
"What should I do now?"
It can be seen that they are very afraid of this monster, and they don't know how to face a crazy monster.This is no wonder, because the monster is more than one foot tall, but Feng Wenzhi is not interested in the real height of the monster, that is, the motu.
"The gun handle is sewn through the upper and lower jaws. I will use a saw to cut off the gun handle from the middle, first pull out the part that penetrates the upper jaw, and then pull out the lower jaw. Treat in this order."
"How long will this take?"
"Only by doing it will you know. The most important thing is not to let the patients move around. Please cooperate fully with this point. If there is a slight mistake, they will also suffer disaster."
"Okay, doctor, please do it as soon as possible, and you can ask for as much thank you gift as you want after the cure."
"thanks."
Feng Wenzhi didn't trust what these villains said from the bottom of his heart, but he still took out all the Mafeisan around him. This amount can be used for a year to treat hundreds of patients, but now is not the time to be stingy.I saw him enduring the stench, concocting medicine, and then inserting the bamboo tube into the monster's mouth, and pouring the prepared Mabosan into the monster's body.
Feng Wenzhi knew that he would be killed when the monster fully recovered, so he didn't want to sit still.
He treated the monster's palate in a serious manner, and that alone used up all the mobosan, which was a necessary means to put the huge monster to sleep.
"Remaking Mafeisan requires buying multiple materials at once."
"You write it on paper, and we send people to buy it."
"I'm sorry, these materials have to be screened by a doctor. Anyway, I am very new to Kaifeng. You can send someone to lead the way and monitor me."
So Feng Wenzhi was taken to the North District of Mahang Street, where dozens of pharmacies (pharmaceuticals) were opened. Feng Wenzhi and the people in charge of monitoring went in and out of these pharmacies, and he finally reached the point of breaking free when he reached the sixth one. Chance.
After listening to Feng Wenzhi's explanation, the Green Dragon King and the Red Dragon King exchanged glances. The young doctor didn't know the details, but the Dragon Kings knew it all too well.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Kaifeng is really not a very strange place... In just one day today, I have tasted an experience that is so terrifying that it almost frightens people. .”
"It's hard for you, come and have a drink."
"Thank you... ah, it's such a delicious wine, it's the first time I've had such a delicious wine since I was born."
Feng Wenzhi was inexplicably moved, this is a world-renowned lamb wine, and it is also a new wine with excellent natural flavor.
"Zhongqing, I think of one thing. In the countries such as Tilos and Kartag established by the ancient Phoenicians During sexual ceremonies, living sacrifices are usually offered to the god Baai. The statue of Baai is made of metal, and the bottom is heated with fire. The abdomen of the hot statue is hollowed out, and the living sacrifice is thrown into it alive. Roast."
What Qinglong King proposed to his second brother, Feng Wenzhi on the side was completely listening to thunder.
"The body of God Baai is human, and the head is the shape of a cow."
"...It really is a cow breed. Doctor Feng should have seen that mural somewhere in the underground waterway."
"Put Dr. Feng in Yongfu Temple first, it's a pity that I don't have time to eat, drink and have fun now."
At this time, Feng Wenzhi cried out that he was dizzy from hunger, so after he finished his untouched snacks, the two dragon kings immediately checked out and left the restaurant.
Feng Wenzhi followed by his side, unable to speed up his pace. When Yongfu Temple was in front of him, he happened to meet a strange group of four on the way.
"Huh? Big Brother, Second Brother."
White Dragon King shouted.Among the four strange groups, the shorter two are the White Dragon King and the Black Dragon King, and the other two are young military officers who seem to be restless.One is clearly a man, the other is reminiscent of a beauty in disguise.
They are Cao Ke, the son of Cao Bin, the privy envoy, and Qin Han, the eunuch.King Qinglong had met them in Zhuozhou City before, but it was night and there was no chance to have a face-to-face conversation.
After a hasty greeting and self-introduction in the room of Yongfu Temple, they began to explain the situation. The White Dragon King and the Black Dragon King met Cao Ke and Qin Han in the fruit market (the market selling fruits).
Qin Han had already seen that the White Dragon King could use food to distract him, so he invited the White Dragon King and the Black Dragon King to the nearest teahouse.Cao Kui and Qin Han were ordered by Privy Envoy Cao Bin to actively search for the two people who were shining in Zhuozhou City at that time, and they have circled Kaifeng City several times for ten days.As soon as the four of them were seated, before they could order some tea, the impatient Cao Ke asked:
"Excuse me, where are you sacred?"
"A busker who happened to pass by."
"Don't talk about it yet."
Qin Han showed a wry smile, and called his uncle to bring the menu, and spread it out in front of the White Dragon King.
"This teahouse is most famous for these eighty kinds of tea, you can order all of them to eat."
"Ah, do you want a treat?"
"certainly."
"Then I want pastries, sticky cakes, rice dumplings, sweet bean soup, milk cakes...it's too much trouble, I'll bring you all from one side of the menu!"
When the White Dragon King was ordering, the Black Dragon King was very quiet.In fact, it was because he had never met an eunuch before, so he was careful not to offend the eunuch while secretly observing Qin Han.
Eunuchs do not only exist in China, they are indispensable in ancient Rome, Patriarchy, Persia, Ottoman Turkey and other great empires.
Eunuchs are not considered court officials, but servants of the royal family.The main job is to take care of the many "concubines" in the harem. In addition, they also have to accompany the young princes and princesses, manage the palace and gardens, and serve as the emperor's secretary. In fact, there are quite a lot of work to do.
Some people criticized the eunuch:
"They are human scum, because of this group of eunuchs, Chinese history has been seriously distorted."
It is true that many eunuchs abused their status and privileges, causing misfortune to the world; however, on the other hand, there were also many eunuchs who made great contributions to history and culture.
For example, Cai Lun, who invented paper, was an eunuch in the post-Han period in the early second century. According to strict textual research, paper existed in ancient times before Cai Lun. Due to the primitive and rough production method, Cai Lun improved it to make a new paper quality, so the old ones The usage rate of paper has been greatly reduced and gradually disappeared.Therefore, the inventor of the paper used all over the world is Cai Lun.Books criticizing eunuchs were also made of paper, and they were not published solely with the help of eunuchs.
The same great eunuch as Cai Lun was Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty in the 15th century. He was a hundred years faster than Vasco da Gama (Portuguese navigator) and led a large fleet to Africa, driving trade and Immigration boom.His achievements have even become the subject of novels, and he is still revered as a patron saint by Chinese living abroad. name.
Even if he did not become a great man in the history of the world like Cai Lun and Zheng He, Qin Han is also a well-known eunuch with a long history.Until his death at the age of sixty-four, he served the Song Dynasty consistently, and made brilliant military exploits on the battlefield. It is said that he had forty-nine wounds all over his body.In addition, he also has the talent in construction, building fortresses along the frontier, and supervising major buildings in the palace.He has always been highly respected, and his subordinates are willing to run for him. It is said that when he passed away, the soldiers cried and wailed.
Cao Di joined the army for many years and led troops to fight on the northern and western borders. In his middle age, he was promoted to the imperial court. His daughter was selected as the queen of Renzong, the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty. As his father, he was named King of Wu and received a gift The title of "Uncle Guo (Emperor's foster father)", that is, "Uncle Cao".
However, Cao Di was tired of the power struggle inside the court and deeply felt the emptiness of prosperity and wealth. One day, he suddenly abandoned all his status and left Fengfeng. No one knew that Cao Bin's fifth son, who was also the queen's biological father, did not leave any records in the second half of his life.
When Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, a sensational prophecy book was widely circulated in Kaifeng. Prime Minister Zhao Pu asked: "What should I do?" Zhao Kuangyin smiled and replied: "Never mind." This sensational prophecy book is even more rampant, which makes Zhao Pu very unhappy.
"I think this matter should not be underestimated. The publication of inappropriate prophecy books must be completely banned and the author should be severely punished. I don't know what the Holy Grail wants?"
"Can't you turn a blind eye anyway?"
"Continuing to let it go will get out of hand."
"Then please bring the prophecy to the Qing family, I will consider it myself."
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin received the prophecy book, he tore off the sutures on the book, scattered all the inside pages, and reassembled it indiscriminately before handing it to Zhao Pu.
"Create one hundred prophecy books according to my method, and spread them throughout Kaifeng City."
The dismantled and reassembled prophecy book did not understand what was written in the content, and the more I read it, the more funny it became. Later, everyone dismissed it, and the prophecy book faded away. In this way, Zhao Kuangyin did not punish anyone, and successfully cut off the inappropriate prophecy. The popularity of books.
After Zhao Kuangyin's sudden death, his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi succeeded him as emperor, and actively eradicated the existence of inappropriate prophecy books. Not only in Kaifeng, but all fortune tellers and prophets in the world were arrested, the publication of prophecy books was completely banned, and those who disobeyed were executed.Hundreds of people were imprisoned, sweeping away the inappropriate prophecies and deceitful seers.
From this incident, we can clearly distinguish the difference in personality between Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi. Everyone fears and respects his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi, but the most popular is his broad-minded brother Zhao Kuangyin.Zhao Kuangyin did not execute Wang Jixun, his beloved wife's younger brother, for a long time.
Compared with the current emperor Zhao Kuangyi, Cao Yu actually admired the former emperor Zhao Kuangyin very much, and he also looked forward to the day when Zhao Kuangyin's son, King Dezhao of Wugong County, would become emperor. However, Dezhao had been cornered by his uncle Zhao Kuangyi and died a few days ago.Cao Yu was very sympathetic to Dezhao's experience, and he couldn't help but have a grudge against the emperor Zhao Kuangyi.
This grudge has been growing in his heart for a long time, which eventually led to Cao Qi abandoning his official position and becoming an immortal, but this was a long time later.
"Then why did you come to Kaifeng? No, do you mean something will happen soon?"
The White Dragon King answered Cao Di's question.
"A group called Killing and Sacrifice Ghosts is trying to cause trouble in Kaifeng. They abducted babies and offered them as sacrifices to Mo Tuo."
"Moto is..."
"It's the monster that appeared in Zhuozhou City last month."
"Is this true?"
Cao Chi's voice turned sharp. At that time, a six-handed monster suddenly appeared in Zhuozhou City and killed hundreds of soldiers. Cao Chi dreamed of that monster in nightmares more than once.
Qin Han poked his upper body out from the table.
"What is the actual situation of that group? Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"That's a good question."
The White Dragon King swaggered and stuffed the pastry into his mouth with one hand, the aroma of raisins spread in his mouth.
"The actual situation is not completely clear, but one thing is certain."
"how do I say this?"
Cao Di also leaned out, and the White Dragon King took a sip of tea and replied calmly:
"They are the remnants of Wang Jixun, younger brother of Empress Xiaoming, who was executed in Luoyang in February the year before last."
"……what!"
Cao Di and Qin Han yelled in unison, causing the uncle who was standing by the far wall to stare in astonishment.Noticing the reaction of outsiders, Cao Di coughed a few times and sat back in his original position.
"This matter is of great importance, are you really sure? Do we believe your words?"
"Whether you believe it or not is completely up to the freedom of the two of you. However, if this matter is true, it must be of great importance. The sooner you take action, the better."
The White Dragon King wiped his hands sticky with dense sugar with a towel, while the Black Dragon King held the tea bowl in both hands, staring at the two generals in front of him with relish.
Qin Han sighed lightly.
"It stands to reason that the sooner we take action, the better. However, the efficiency of the government office (government agency) has never been called quick and reliable. It would be great if we could have enough evidence to convince high-level officials."
"Evidence..."
The White Dragon King had a good eye for people, and he judged that bringing the two to Yongfu Temple to meet his elder brother would not have any effect, so he ordered the teahouse to wrap up all the dim sum for him to take away, and then led Cao Di and Qin Han back View of Yongfu...
Then, after listening to the young doctor Feng Wenzhi's narration, Qin Han nodded vigorously and changed his expression again.
"Doctor Feng is truly wise and courageous. If you intend to practice medicine in Kaifeng, we can be in charge of making arrangements to hire you into the palace."
"Thanks to the care of adults."
At that time, Feng Wenzhi was just a silent and unknown teacher, and later he was promoted to Shangyao Fengyu (Royal Physician), and became one of the seven famous doctors in the early Song Dynasty recorded in history books.
"Okay, without further ado, I will immediately report to my father, no, and the privy envoy, and the murderer and sacrificial ghost will definitely be eradicated."
He did not say "sweeping everything in one go", and it will take fifty years to realize this sentence.
If the gigantic evil god who was in chaos in Zhuozhou City at that time appeared in Kaifeng on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Mid-Autumn Festival——
Qin Han and Cao Yu couldn't help trembling all over the body, Zhuozhou city was full of generals of the Forbidden Army (regular army), but there were millions of men, women and children in Kaifeng.
"I'm sorry to bother everyone. When the matter comes to an end, we will definitely pay a visit sometime."
Qin Han bowed his head humbly, and hurriedly stepped out of Yongfu Temple with Cao Yu.
The Black Dragon King watched the eunuch and general leave with a praising expression.
"That Qin Da is really beautiful, although he is not as good as the second brother."
"But his personality is much better than that of the second brother."
The White Dragon King replied with these words, then looked around nervously.The Red Dragon King and the Green Dragon King went to the gate of Yongfu Temple together to see off the young generals, but they didn't hear the words of the White Dragon King.I saw that they tied several boxes of rattan boxes containing several documents to the cart and handed them over to Cao Di for transportation.
Mrs. Taizhen Wang began to clear the tea sets on the table.
"Cao Yu is Cao Bin's fifth son, right? His daughter will become the queen of Emperor Renzong in the future, and he will also be promoted to a member of the royal family and be named King of Wu. Uncle Cao Guo, one of the Eight Immortals, looked like when he was young."
"Oh, so he is Uncle Cao Guo."
The White Dragon King expressed his admiration.
"So there are only seven of the Eight Immortals at present, which is equivalent to the Seven Immortals."
"Whether it's the Seven Immortals or the Eight Immortals, I just hope they don't intervene for no reason, otherwise things will become more complicated."
The Red Dragon King who returned to the room made such a comment, while the White Dragon King left his seat with a nonchalant expression on his face.
"I went to the streets to check the situation."
Just as the White Dragon King ran out of Yongfu Temple for the third time today, there was movement in the palace. Emperor Zhao Kuangyi summoned Prince Taibao Zhao Pu to enter the palace, and the meeting of the two historical giants took place in the Palace of Ruisi. "It's been a long time, Taibao." Zhao Kuangyi's tone of greeting seemed somewhat unnatural. "Thank you for your concern, may the dragon body be safe and peaceful." Zhao Pu calmly bowed and saluted.It was four years ago that Zhao Pu was demoted from the position of prime minister. Since then, Zhao Pu has never been summoned into the palace even once. "...My younger brother, Tingmei, you should know." Zhao Kuangyi got to the point quickly with a little impatience. "Yes, I know." "I canonized him as King Jin." Zhao Kuangyi wanted to see how Zhao Pu would react, but Zhao Pu waited silently and expressionlessly for the emperor to say something, so Zhao Kuangyi had no choice but to continue. "Currently, our dynasty has not registered a crown prince. The status of King Jin is second only to me. Before I ascended the throne, I was also King Jin. This time, Tingmei was named King Jin, which means that he is recognized as my successor." After taking a breath, he continued: "Therefore, I intend to hand over to Tingmei the power that occupies a considerable amount of political and military power. As the future emperor, it is necessary to accumulate experience and achievements now..." Zhao Kuangyi licked his lips. "I don't know what the Qing family thinks about this matter?" This sentence gives a feeling of "finally speaking". Zhao Pu respectfully bowed and saluted, but remained silent, time passed bit by bit, Zhao Kuangyi became restless and irritable, just as he was about to break the unbearable silence, Zhao Pu decided to speak. "Forgive me for expressing my humble opinion." "... let's talk." "My humble minister dares to ask the Holy Majesty if he intends to repeat the mistakes of His Majesty the Taizu?" "A repeat of the same mistakes...?" His Majesty Taizu means that the former emperor Zhao Kuangyin did not register as a crown prince. When he fell to his death, because the crown prince did not exist, Zhao Kuangyi, who held the highest real power, was able to forcibly ascend the throne.Originally, the throne was passed from father to son, but it turned into a brother-to-brother model. This result caused discord within the court, and led to the suicide of King Dezhao of Wugong County. "...I understand what the Qing family means. What the Qing family said is true. It is enough for such a tragedy to happen once." Zhao Kuangyi smiled lowly, he didn't want the fate of his nephew to happen to his son. "I enshrined Qing's family as Liang Guogong, concurrently served as Situ and Daizhong, and returned to the temple in the Ming Dynasty." Temple is a political term, meaning the imperial court.It is tantamount to granting the highest status to the nobles and allowing the prime minister to return to the government. "Restore your original status during the reign of His Majesty Taizu." Zhao Kuangyi added, representing Zhao Pu's status has been fully restored. The prime minister, who had always been cold and resolute, must have mixed feelings in his chest at this moment, and there was a click deep in his throat, his voice trembling slightly. "In the first half of my life, I serve His Majesty Taizu to bring peace to the world, and in the second half of my life, I will devote myself to the Holy Majesty to create a world of peace." Ten days ago, Zhao Pu also said the same thing to the uninvited guest who broke into the private house. Of course, Zhao Pu himself has lost his memory. Whether he remembers it or not, he conveys the same thoughts to everyone, representing Zhao Pu's beliefs and ambitions unshakable. Zhao Kuangyi narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "I leave everything to you, Duke Liang." This day can be said to have laid the foundation for the peace and prosperity of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and at the same time decided the fate of another person. Jin Wang Zhao Tingmei, who became a stumbling block to the new political system, must be removed mercilessly.
The fact that she was promoted to be the king of Jin made Zhao Tingmei cringe in her heart. Once something went wrong, she might be forced to step down under this excuse. I'm afraid she might lose her life, let alone her status.In this way, he was in a state of anxiety and anxiety every day, wondering whether the subordinates around him, even the maidservants, were secretly sent by the court to monitor him. In fact, there is no need for Zhao Tingmei to be afraid of failure, because even if he does not fail, he will be forced to step down. In addition, the fate of Dezhao's younger brother Defang is the same. Defang is weak and sick. Ever since his elder brother Dezhao committed suicide, he has been sick all day. He is worried about being poisoned all day long. He is extremely vigilant when eating or taking medicine. I don’t know how long this kind of life will last...
The moon mother climbed to the sky of Kaifeng. This is a full moon with a round and full shape and shining silver light. The lunar calendar is formulated according to the waxing and waning of the moon. Therefore, the first day of each month is a new moon, and the fifteenth day is a full moon. The most beautiful full moon among the full moons is the mid-autumn day on August 15th, full of autumn, the air is clear, the dryness is moderate, the cool wind is everywhere, and the sky silently changes from a perfect blue color to a dark blue that is close to deep black. Households and streets were lit up one after another, and a city that never sleeps appeared in the middle of the great plain where the Yellow River flows.On the third floor of the restaurant or in the wide courtyard, rich people look up at the full moon while listening to music, and poor people also open their windows to bathe in the moonlight streaming down from the houses. "Fortunately, the weather is clear. No matter how you look at the bright moon in the cloudy sky, it will lack the atmosphere of the bright moon." In the distance came the lively and loud romping of children, and they would probably be so excited that they would not be able to sleep all night. But that night— "My baby is missing." "My child is too, where did he go?" "Did you see my baby?" Parents shouted one after another, their voices trembling with anxiety.Some mothers started to choke up, which never happened last Mid-Autumn Festival. "It looks like it's already started." The White Dragon King frowned, he knew what was going on in his heart, the ghost believers kidnapped children everywhere, and used them as living sacrifices to the evil god Motuo. "Over there, my child is over there!" Looking along the handlebar of a howling mother, I just saw the back of a stalwart man receding away, carrying a child on his left side, and waving a dagger in his right hand to disperse the crowd. The White Dragon King immediately ran after him quickly. Located deep in the huge underground waterway in Kaifeng, Mo Tuo struggled painfully on the rock platform after the effect of Ma Bo San's medicine wore off. Pain and high fever occupied the entire head of the motuo, and the spear on the upper jaw had been pulled out, but the wound that had been sutured opened again, and poisonous blood and pus flowed into the mouth, which aggravated the pain and discomfort of the motuo . Mo Tuo opened his mouth and spat out poisonous blood and pus, which was stained with a murder sacrificial ghost stalk. The man screamed loudly on the spot and rolled on the ground in pain. His colleagues quickly poured water on him, but the man's The skin was scorched, and several blisters appeared. "Damn it, how could this happen, what should I do?" A group of ghost-killing believers lurking underground in Kaifeng have had bad luck in the past half month, as if they have encountered an "eventful autumn".If Mo Tuo's injuries don't heal within a day, they won't be able to get asylum. Not only that, because Mo Tuo's pain is so painful that almost half of the believers have been killed. Will be completely destroyed by his patron saint. "Hey, something is wrong." A voice mixed with mourning came, and one of the men who went to the ground to kidnap the child turned back, causing the companions who stayed underground to cast stinging and reproachful glances. "You don't have anything in your hands, and you still have the face to come back?" "Now is not the time to pursue this matter." The man was panting. "There are Custodian (regular army) soldiers standing guard everywhere in the street." "Today is the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the soldiers would have been preparing all night." "But they were chanting the holy mantra of the jade umbrella in unison." The believers who killed and sacrificed ghosts were in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other tensely. A man who looked like a cadre yelled: "There's nothing to be afraid of. Those soldiers have neither spiritual power nor magic power. No matter how many times they recite the Jade Umbrella Sacred Mantra, it will never take effect. Which guy came up with such a bad idea..." At this time, a deafening roar shook the stone wall. The believers of the murderer sacrificed ghosts looked at the direction of the sound in surprise, and saw that the chains turned into black shadows and spread out. The giant body of the motu sat up on the pedestal, and its six arms swung in midair, like a bouncing snake. "Ah, ah, God Motuo..." The motuo who staggered off the pedestal spit out a large amount of poisonous blood, and moved his feet while staring at the believers who killed and sacrificed ghosts.
At this time, on the ground, Cao Di and Qin Han gripped the hilts of their swords tightly, and put on a posture to protect a young and veteran general. They flanked from left and right, and stood under the full moon. On the city wall was Privy Councilor Cao Bin. "Will this spell work?" Cao Yu said with a little worry, and Qin Han replied: "According to the priests of the Yongfu Temple, no matter what, ordinary people have a small amount of spiritual power. Once a hundred thousand soldiers recite the mantra at the same time, the spiritual power will increase and form a great power." What's more, among one hundred thousand people, every hundred or thousand people will have one person with strong spiritual power. As long as they exert their own power, they will be able to strengthen the spiritual power of all. The effect of chanting the mantra at the same time. "If you think about it carefully, printing is really convenient. It only takes a few days to make thousands of books with the same content." Privy envoy Cao Bin also held the "Jade Umbrella Sacred Mantra" in his hand and murmured. During the Song Dynasty, the earliest movable type printing was discovered in the world, so books with the same content could be printed in large quantities, because both paper and printing were invented by the Chinese. Until the invention of electronic publications thousands of years later, if human civilization lacked Chinese people This invention simply cannot survive. It has been ten days since returning from Luoyang, and the Azure Dragon King and Red Dragon King did not waste this time.They handed over the "Jade Umbrella Sacred Mantra" to the printing workshop, paid a high fee, and ordered the workshop to rush to print it.Finally, the thousand volumes were completed on the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cao Di and Qin Han, who were entrusted to transport a thousand volumes of mantras in Yongfu Temple, quickly visited Cao Bin, the privy envoy, and made countermeasures in a very short time.The "Holy Mantra of the Jade Umbrella" was distributed to soldiers who could read aloud, and one of them read aloud, and hundreds of soldiers sang along.In less than half a day, everything was ready, which shows the extent to which the whole army has implemented Cao Bin's orders. It's best to have an effect that can be seen with the naked eye, Cao Di thought in his heart. "……Appeared!" The screams of the soldiers reached Mingyue. At this moment, the ground close to the city wall swelled, and the stone slabs burst open. A huge black figure crawled out of the ground, and stood upright amidst the gray smoke, like an evil golem.
Just as the White Dragon King ran out of Yongfu Temple for the third time today, there was movement in the palace. Emperor Zhao Kuangyi summoned Prince Taibao Zhao Pu to enter the palace, and the meeting of the two historical giants took place in the Palace of Ruisi. "It's been a long time, Taibao." Zhao Kuangyi's tone of greeting seemed somewhat unnatural. "Thank you for your concern, may the dragon body be safe and peaceful." Zhao Pu calmly bowed and saluted.It was four years ago that Zhao Pu was demoted from the position of prime minister. Since then, Zhao Pu has never been summoned into the palace even once. "...My younger brother, Tingmei, you should know." Zhao Kuangyi got to the point quickly with a little impatience. "Yes, I know." "I canonized him as King Jin." Zhao Kuangyi wanted to see how Zhao Pu would react, but Zhao Pu waited silently and expressionlessly for the emperor to say something, so Zhao Kuangyi had no choice but to continue. "Currently, our dynasty has not registered a crown prince. The status of King Jin is second only to me. Before I ascended the throne, I was also King Jin. This time, Tingmei was named King Jin, which means that he is recognized as my successor." After taking a breath, he continued: "Therefore, I intend to hand over to Tingmei the power that occupies a considerable amount of political and military power. As the future emperor, it is necessary to accumulate experience and achievements now..." Zhao Kuangyi licked his lips. "I don't know what the Qing family thinks about this matter?" This sentence gives a feeling of "finally speaking". Zhao Pu respectfully bowed and saluted, but remained silent, time passed bit by bit, Zhao Kuangyi became restless and irritable, just as he was about to break the unbearable silence, Zhao Pu decided to speak. "Forgive me for expressing my humble opinion." "... let's talk." "My humble minister dares to ask the Holy Majesty if he intends to repeat the mistakes of His Majesty the Taizu?" "A repeat of the same mistakes...?" His Majesty Taizu means that the former emperor Zhao Kuangyin did not register as a crown prince. When he fell to his death, because the crown prince did not exist, Zhao Kuangyi, who held the highest real power, was able to forcibly ascend the throne.Originally, the throne was passed from father to son, but it turned into a brother-to-brother model. This result caused discord within the court, and led to the suicide of King Dezhao of Wugong County. "...I understand what the Qing family means. What the Qing family said is true. It is enough for such a tragedy to happen once." Zhao Kuangyi smiled lowly, he didn't want the fate of his nephew to happen to his son. "I enshrined Qing's family as Liang Guogong, concurrently served as Situ and Daizhong, and returned to the temple in the Ming Dynasty." Temple is a political term, meaning the imperial court.It is tantamount to granting the highest status to the nobles and allowing the prime minister to return to the government. "Restore your original status during the reign of His Majesty Taizu." Zhao Kuangyi added, representing Zhao Pu's status has been fully restored. The prime minister, who had always been cold and resolute, must have mixed feelings in his chest at this moment, and there was a click deep in his throat, his voice trembling slightly. "In the first half of my life, I serve His Majesty Taizu to bring peace to the world, and in the second half of my life, I will devote myself to the Holy Majesty to create a world of peace." Ten days ago, Zhao Pu also said the same thing to the uninvited guest who broke into the private house. Of course, Zhao Pu himself has lost his memory. Whether he remembers it or not, he conveys the same thoughts to everyone, representing Zhao Pu's beliefs and ambitions unshakable. Zhao Kuangyi narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "I leave everything to you, Duke Liang." This day can be said to have laid the foundation for the peace and prosperity of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and at the same time decided the fate of another person. Jin Wang Zhao Tingmei, who became a stumbling block to the new political system, must be removed mercilessly.
The fact that she was promoted to be the king of Jin made Zhao Tingmei cringe in her heart. Once something went wrong, she might be forced to step down under this excuse. I'm afraid she might lose her life, let alone her status.In this way, he was in a state of anxiety and anxiety every day, wondering whether the subordinates around him, even the maidservants, were secretly sent by the court to monitor him. In fact, there is no need for Zhao Tingmei to be afraid of failure, because even if he does not fail, he will be forced to step down. In addition, the fate of Dezhao's younger brother Defang is the same. Defang is weak and sick. Ever since his elder brother Dezhao committed suicide, he has been sick all day. He is worried about being poisoned all day long. He is extremely vigilant when eating or taking medicine. I don’t know how long this kind of life will last...
The moon mother climbed to the sky of Kaifeng. This is a full moon with a round and full shape and shining silver light. The lunar calendar is formulated according to the waxing and waning of the moon. Therefore, the first day of each month is a new moon, and the fifteenth day is a full moon. The most beautiful full moon among the full moons is the mid-autumn day on August 15th, full of autumn, the air is clear, the dryness is moderate, the cool wind is everywhere, and the sky silently changes from a perfect blue color to a dark blue that is close to deep black. Households and streets were lit up one after another, and a city that never sleeps appeared in the middle of the great plain where the Yellow River flows.On the third floor of the restaurant or in the wide courtyard, rich people look up at the full moon while listening to music, and poor people also open their windows to bathe in the moonlight streaming down from the houses. "Fortunately, the weather is clear. No matter how you look at the bright moon in the cloudy sky, it will lack the atmosphere of the bright moon." In the distance came the lively and loud romping of children, and they would probably be so excited that they would not be able to sleep all night. But that night— "My baby is missing." "My child is too, where did he go?" "Did you see my baby?" Parents shouted one after another, their voices trembling with anxiety.Some mothers started to choke up, which never happened last Mid-Autumn Festival. "It looks like it's already started." The White Dragon King frowned, he knew what was going on in his heart, the ghost believers kidnapped children everywhere, and used them as living sacrifices to the evil god Motuo. "Over there, my child is over there!" Looking along the handlebar of a howling mother, I just saw the back of a stalwart man receding away, carrying a child on his left side, and waving a dagger in his right hand to disperse the crowd. The White Dragon King immediately ran after him quickly. Located deep in the huge underground waterway in Kaifeng, Mo Tuo struggled painfully on the rock platform after the effect of Ma Bo San's medicine wore off. Pain and high fever occupied the entire head of the motuo, and the spear on the upper jaw had been pulled out, but the wound that had been sutured opened again, and poisonous blood and pus flowed into the mouth, which aggravated the pain and discomfort of the motuo . Mo Tuo opened his mouth and spat out poisonous blood and pus, which was stained with a murder sacrificial ghost stalk. The man screamed loudly on the spot and rolled on the ground in pain. His colleagues quickly poured water on him, but the man's The skin was scorched, and several blisters appeared. "Damn it, how could this happen, what should I do?" A group of ghost-killing believers lurking underground in Kaifeng have had bad luck in the past half month, as if they have encountered an "eventful autumn".If Mo Tuo's injuries don't heal within a day, they won't be able to get asylum. Not only that, because Mo Tuo's pain is so painful that almost half of the believers have been killed. Will be completely destroyed by his patron saint. "Hey, something is wrong." A voice mixed with mourning came, and one of the men who went to the ground to kidnap the child turned back, causing the companions who stayed underground to cast stinging and reproachful glances. "You don't have anything in your hands, and you still have the face to come back?" "Now is not the time to pursue this matter." The man was panting. "There are Custodian (regular army) soldiers standing guard everywhere in the street." "Today is the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the soldiers would have been preparing all night." "But they were chanting the holy mantra of the jade umbrella in unison." The believers who killed and sacrificed ghosts were in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other tensely. A man who looked like a cadre yelled: "There's nothing to be afraid of. Those soldiers have neither spiritual power nor magic power. No matter how many times they recite the Jade Umbrella Sacred Mantra, it will never take effect. Which guy came up with such a bad idea..." At this time, a deafening roar shook the stone wall. The believers of the murderer sacrificed ghosts looked at the direction of the sound in surprise, and saw that the chains turned into black shadows and spread out. The giant body of the motu sat up on the pedestal, and its six arms swung in midair, like a bouncing snake. "Ah, ah, God Motuo..." The motuo who staggered off the pedestal spit out a large amount of poisonous blood, and moved his feet while staring at the believers who killed and sacrificed ghosts.
At this time, on the ground, Cao Di and Qin Han gripped the hilts of their swords tightly, and put on a posture to protect a young and veteran general. They flanked from left and right, and stood under the full moon. On the city wall was Privy Councilor Cao Bin. "Will this spell work?" Cao Yu said with a little worry, and Qin Han replied: "According to the priests of the Yongfu Temple, no matter what, ordinary people have a small amount of spiritual power. Once a hundred thousand soldiers recite the mantra at the same time, the spiritual power will increase and form a great power." What's more, among one hundred thousand people, every hundred or thousand people will have one person with strong spiritual power. As long as they exert their own power, they will be able to strengthen the spiritual power of all. The effect of chanting the mantra at the same time. "If you think about it carefully, printing is really convenient. It only takes a few days to make thousands of books with the same content." Privy envoy Cao Bin also held the "Jade Umbrella Sacred Mantra" in his hand and murmured. During the Song Dynasty, the earliest movable type printing was discovered in the world, so books with the same content could be printed in large quantities, because both paper and printing were invented by the Chinese. Until the invention of electronic publications thousands of years later, if human civilization lacked Chinese people This invention simply cannot survive. It has been ten days since returning from Luoyang, and the Azure Dragon King and Red Dragon King did not waste this time.They handed over the "Jade Umbrella Sacred Mantra" to the printing workshop, paid a high fee, and ordered the workshop to rush to print it.Finally, the thousand volumes were completed on the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cao Di and Qin Han, who were entrusted to transport a thousand volumes of mantras in Yongfu Temple, quickly visited Cao Bin, the privy envoy, and made countermeasures in a very short time.The "Holy Mantra of the Jade Umbrella" was distributed to soldiers who could read aloud, and one of them read aloud, and hundreds of soldiers sang along.In less than half a day, everything was ready, which shows the extent to which the whole army has implemented Cao Bin's orders. It's best to have an effect that can be seen with the naked eye, Cao Di thought in his heart. "……Appeared!" The screams of the soldiers reached Mingyue. At this moment, the ground close to the city wall swelled, and the stone slabs burst open. A huge black figure crawled out of the ground, and stood upright amidst the gray smoke, like an evil golem.
