Chapter 60 10. The ghostly shadows of Ming Palace

"Old Tang Book" records that Wang Shouyi, the elder brother of Queen Wang, broke through iron shoes, crossed mountains and ridges, worked tirelessly, and waded through mountains and rivers, and finally found a monk who was proficient in witchcraft in a valley.This monk's name is Mingwu - he has studied the path of witchcraft, and he has clearly gone on the evil way, so he is still enlightened! So the confused Mingwu stepped on straw sandals and floated into the capital. Wang Shouyi secretly arranged for him to sneak into the palace quietly at night, and a blazing fire was lit beside Wang's bed. Step on the fire, dance and sing.The song said: How many good sisters do you have and why do you marry tears? How many good sisters do you have and why is every sister willing to sleep with you... Wood, said: "I want to teach you to know that this wood is not an ordinary product in the world, but it is Perak wood."So what is Perakwood?It has been bombarded by thunder and lightning, and burned by thunder and fire. As the song sings, this piece of wood, this piece of wood, thunder and lightning have struck you and burned you. I have prayed under the wood... Now the monk carves this piece of wood into a square seal , engraved: Longji, the third son of the Li family, is in a hurry like a law, go home and sleep with his wife, if you sleep too much, the child will be conceived, and when your queen conceives a child, then you will be Wu Zetian in the future.

Wang Shouyi and the queen's sister thanked each other repeatedly: "Thank you, master, thank you, please go slowly, I won't see you off... Monk Mingwu came out of the queen's bedroom and happened to meet Concubine Wu, who asked, "Monk, have you eaten?" No?Mingwu replied: Eat, eat, have you eaten, benefactor?Concubine Wu said: "I have eaten, monk, are you here in the palace, what's the matter?"Ming Wu said: It's nothing to do, just do some black magic, witchcraft and so on, it's just a small case, don't joke.Concubine Wu said: "Look at what you said, who would laugh at you?"

After chatting, Concubine Wu went back to her bedroom and got into Li Longji's bed to sleep.Li Longji asked: Concubine Wu, who were you talking to just now?Concubine Wu said: "I didn't follow anyone."Li Longji said: No, I clearly heard you whispering with a boy.Concubine Wu said: Where did the boy come from? The queen invited a wild monk to come into the palace and do some black magic... dark magic?Li Longji sat up abruptly: I said that I break out in cold sweat every night, and feel terrified. I often see all kinds of ghosts running around in the palace. The queen is arrested and her black magic is found!

The criminal officer entered the palace overnight and dragged Mrs. Wang off the bed involuntarily. Poor Mrs. Wang didn't realize it until she died, holding the piece of thunderbolt wood tightly in her arms. Mu snatched it over and took a closer look, and it was indeed engraved with Li Longji's name and birth date. Now that we have the physical evidence, the next step is the confession. With tears in her eyes, Wang told the story in detail.The criminal officer reported the case to Li Longji's desk: His Majesty Qi Zuo, that's the case, the black magic is absolutely true.However, the Queen's purpose in playing with this black magic is not to murder His Majesty, but just to sleep with you... Your Majesty, you also know that girls like to think about this when they have nothing to do. Your Majesty, look at this case...

Li Longji said: "It's not a question of whether to sleep or not. The problem is that she made this black magic just to sleep with me. It's so scary. Every night, some strange things with scales and horns will come out of the ground and pull my ears." , pulled my tail, scared me to sleep all night... How dare you pull His Majesty's tail?The criminal officer was shocked: This is a big deal, so it would be better if it was not like this, after all, the Wang family is not the mastermind of this matter, but her brother Wang Shouyi is the mastermind.According to Chen's intention, Wang Shouyi sneaked into the palace and performed black magic secretly. The crime was unforgivable, and he was sentenced to death and executed immediately.As for the Empress Wang... let her be dispatched to the cold palace, under the supervision of the ladies of the court, and undergo labor reform, what do you think, Your Majesty?

Li Longji is pleased: ready to play. The unlucky Queen Wang was implicated by her brother, so she was thrown into the cold palace.But Monk Mingwu's whereabouts are unknown, he probably saved his hair and became a veteran, and went to sell his lover's loyalty medicine somewhere.At this time, the empress position in the palace was vacant, so Li Longji thought: How about... how about making Concubine Wu the empress? Not wanting this idea, he was strongly protested by the famous official Zhang Jiuling. Zhang Jiuling said: "Your Majesty, you are short-sighted, and you don't say who your current crown prince is."The Crown Prince was born to Li Ying, who was born to Concubine Zhao Li, the former third companion. The Crown Prince was already burdened by a bad background and improper bloodline. If you make a Concubine Wu to be the Queen, then you might as well kill the Crown Prince first.

Li Longji heard it: Damn, Aiqing, you are right. Concubine Wu cannot be a queen. If Concubine Wu becomes a queen, then there will be diversification of interests and conflicts.Let's forget about it. But Concubine Wu was very angry when she heard that Zhang Jiuling, a well-known minister, opposed her becoming a queen, so she went to Zhang Jiuling's deadly enemy, Li Linfu, a famous traitor in history. Speaking of Li Linfu, he is well-known in history. When he was the prime minister, Li Longji entrusted him with an official recruitment examination.So Li Linfu came up with a question, and he didn't know what kind of strange question this guy asked. Talented people from all over the world flocked for reference, but no one could answer his strange question.So Li Linfu officially declared: The quality of officials is the best, and the level is the highest. If you are not an official, then you must not be excellent, and your level must be poor... The officials who were gathering together in the trough for eating hard in the North and China were overjoyed and immediately They contributed to the flames and raised their hands in favor, but intellectuals like the great poet Li Bai and the great poet Du Fu were inexplicably labeled as poor quality and rejected from the ranks of officials.

Hearing about this situation, Li Linfu smiled and said, "For such a trivial matter, don't you just want to kill the son of Concubine Zhao Lifei, the escort girl, and become queen yourself?"Let me tell you, Concubine Zhao Li has mistaken herself as an escort lady, so you know how poor her IQ is. Children born to this kind of woman are unlikely to be reliable... Come here, come here with your ears, I will teach you A way to provide you with a package solution. Concubine Wu moved her ear closer, and Li Linfu bit the tender ear, snapped and gnawed.Seeing Concubine Wu's face beaming with joy, she couldn't help shouting: "Old Li, you really deserve to be a peerless villain, to come up with such a bad idea..."

Boss Li Linfu is not happy: Look at you bitch, you are kind enough to give you advice, and you call him a peerless adulterer... Concubine Wu got advice from Li Linfu, and rushed back to the palace as if flying, first sang a lullaby to lull Li Longji to sleep, and then sent someone to call Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao and King Guang Li Ju, and said to them: "It's terrible, An assassin has come to the palace and wants to kill your own father!Hurry up, grab a kitchen knife and hurry up to the palace to protect your dear father... Speaking of these three children in detail, their IQs are not so unbearably low, but the problem is that their opponents are too formidable, unrivaled traitors.In the history of mankind, there has never been a second person who can compete with Li Linfu in heart and mind, and Li Linfu's plan came out of nowhere and was beyond standard.As far as the three prince brothers were concerned, it was impossible not to have the slightest suspicion after receiving the order, but if the rescue came late, the consequences would be even more serious.So the three brothers got up without even thinking about it, with bare feet, holding the kitchen knife high, shouting loudly: Charge, kill, whoever stands in my way dies, kill with me... woo Aoguai screamed and rushed into the palace.

Hearing the sound of shouting and shouting from outside, Li Longji jumped off the dragon bed, leaving Concubine Wu alone, and ran out of the palace, looking for Prime Minister Li Linfu: "Hurry up, Lao Li, hurry up and get rid of the imperial concubine in the palace." The rebels were killed. a piece of cake.Li Linfu responded with a smirk in his heart, and led the soldiers to rush in. First, he couldn't help but beat the three princes to death, and then arrested them. Knowing that the rebellion was put down, Li Longji heaved a sigh of relief: Then what, Lao Li, how to solve this matter, come up with a plan quickly.

I don't want Li Linfu to refuse flatly: I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this is a matter of your own family, and it is inconvenient for the old minister to intervene... You don't intervene... Li Longji is furious: Your grandma, if you don't intervene, don't I know how to kill people?A decree was passed to expel Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, and King Guang Li Ju from the royal team and depose them as ordinary people... Also, which of you is clever, let me quietly kill these three little bastards... "New Book of Tang" said that Prince Ying, E Wangyao, and Guang Wangju were all guilty of the same crimes, and they were deposed as common people, and they were bestowed with death... The last sentence means quietly killing them. Li Longji is ruthless enough to kill three of his own sons. These three children who were killed in vain gained great sympathy from the people at that time, and they were called "three common people", which means three unlucky people.However, the grievances of the three common people lingered, causing misfortune in the palace again. The first to be entangled by the three wronged souls was of course Concubine Wu.It is said that Concubine Wu was sleeping at night, when she suddenly heard someone walking in from outside, stepped forward and lifted her quilt: Hi, long time no see.Concubine Wu stared at her, and her soul flew away: ah, how could it be you, aren't you already dead? The people who came were the unjust souls of the three common people headed by the prince. They saw that the three of them were covered in blood, their faces were stained with blood, and their internal organs exuding a rancid smell fell out of the gaps in their bodies.In the horrifying atmosphere, the three innocent souls laughed and said: It is true that we died, but death does not mean that the matter is over. It is so good that you killed our three brothers unjustly. You have to give an explanation for this matter, right? The explanation... You are dead, what more do you want to say?Concubine Wu was very depressed, she sat up and looked outside, she saw that the outside was very gloomy, with countless evil spirits scurrying around.There are hanged ghosts with long tongues, drowned ghosts with naked and ugly bodies, skeleton ghosts who have been dead for thousands of years and their flesh is rotten, and filthy ghosts who have just died and maggots are drilled out of the rotting flesh.After seeing Concubine Wu, these demons and ghosts immediately became ecstatic, waved to her vigorously, and sang loudly: Come, come, come, come to me quickly, come to accept me, sincere love... With the whistling ghost moans, Concubine Wu rolled her eyes and passed out. According to the history books, from this day on, it was as if someone secretly opened the gate of hell, and all the resentful spirits ran out, occupied the palace, ran around in the palace, chasing the palace servants and teasing the eunuchs.Li Longji was so frightened that he hid, but Concubine Wu had nowhere to hide, so she could only curl up in the bed, surrounded by a large group of scary ghosts, who lifted her quilt from time to time, scratched her feet, pulled her ears, He also stuck to her ear and said some dirty words.Poor Concubine Wu is a living person, how can she endure the torture of so many ghosts?Although she invited monks and Taoist priests to do rituals at a high price, it was useless. Tie up a raft, drive a canoe, and come across the ocean to participate in this unprecedented grand gathering of monsters. The imperial palace fell and became inhuman. There is no other way - no, for Concubine Wu, there is one last way: die! In 737 AD, Concubine Wu was frightened to death by a ghost.After she died, there was a loud noise in the palace, and all the ghosts and ghosts disappeared completely as if blown away by a gust of wind. This year, Li Longji was also fifty-three years old.
