Today, the hostess, has she lost her studies?

Chapter 2996 Forced Marriage (44)

To wait for immature little hands to grow up and grow into adults, the time needed is not long or short.

During this period, the situation in the court became more and more volatile.

The emperor who used to be obsessed with poetry and poetry, did not know when he began to delve into the art of cultivating immortals.

At first, he just had a preliminary understanding, but later, with the help of the empress, he gradually became interested in this technique of cultivating immortals.

In order to cultivate immortality, he sent people to invite many Taoist priests who practiced elixir from the people, as well as many semi-immortals who claimed to be masters of the Tao, and learned a lot of crooked techniques from them.

These people who are especially eloquent, as soon as they come, just coax him into a circle, as if possessed by a demon, completely losing the ability to think.

First, they went to Penglai to seek immortals, and built a mountain temple with great fanfare, which cost a lot of money. They also searched for virgins and virgins from all over the place, and forced them to arrest them in order to refine the alchemy.

Even, there is a demigod who said that the afterbirth clothes of a thousand pregnant women with the most yin constitution are mixed with the baby's hard work, and it is refined in a slow fire for seven to 49 days, and it is taken together with ginseng, poria cocos, and atractylodes. , you can get the effect of prolonging life and nourishing qi and blood.

The emperor, who was so deceived that he couldn't turn his head, heard it and didn't doubt whether it was true or not. With a wave of his hand, he was about to send someone to arrest the pregnant woman.

In the end, Pei Tingwen, who came after hearing the news, forcibly cut off his crazy request.

The emperor is demented, and the courtiers have the right to act on behalf of the sky.

The situation was so serious that Pei Tingwen ordered all the imperial army to guard and arrest all the fake Taoist priests and kill them on the spot, leaving no one behind.

The methods were tough and swift and resolute, which pushed forward the entire purge process.

The emperor was furious and reprimanded him for his treason.

There was a gap between the monarch and his ministers. At this time, the queen had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

She kept blowing the pillow wind in the emperor's ear, leading him to think that Pei Tingwen was a traitor and a traitor, intending to seek imperial power.

The emperor who never talked to him before, under such influence, the rift between him and Pei Tingwen widened even more.

Especially, when Pei Tingwen was able to forcibly accept his order, and ordered all the court guards inside and outside the palace to obey him alone and not listen to him, he finally reacted——

I have delegated too much power to a foreign relative.

If you delegate too much power, your own imperial prestige has disappeared, and everyone can ignore him as the emperor and his imperial orders.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly take root, germinate, and finally grow into towering trees that cannot be cut down again.

But under the wind of the queen's pillow, the temper became more irritable and irritable, and the emperor lost his temper every day in the palace.

Like a demented child, impotent and furious, he kept torturing the servants in the palace.

He vainly attempted to seize power and regain it.

But how can it be so easy to take back something that has been taken by others?

What's more, the target is the Pei family who has military power.

If you have military power, you have roots. Even if the courtiers disagree with the Pei family, they dare not resist it openly.

Therefore, even if the emperor is in the court hall, in front of hundreds of courtiers, yelling that Pei Tingwen is a traitor, he should be killed immediately——

No one dared to move, and no one responded.

Deadly silent.

The soldiers waiting outside the hall were even more indifferent, as if they had lost their hearing and could not hear anything.

The person involved, Pei Tingwen, was dressed in a crimson court dress, holding a wat board, standing upright at the head of the court officials, with a calm and indifferent expression, listening to the reprimand from the people on the dragon chair, his expression remained unchanged.
