The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 182
"Huh? What?"

Lu Wanlan asked, but saw that Xiao Yanzhi didn't pay attention to him at all, and drove his horse towards the end of the team.

She was troubled in her heart, it was obvious that there were too many people around her and it was not easy to have a seizure.He turned around and was about to get into the carriage, but felt something was wrong:
"Fourth brother, why did you come to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"

The fourth brother Lu Yunzhao smiled wryly: "Well, why did my brother tell you? It's just..."

"Fourth!"

Lu Yunzhao hesitated to speak, but another artificial shout came from the back of the line, "You precious emerald cup~ seems to be broken!"

"What?!" Lu Yunzhao was horrified, he waved to Lu Wanlan and ran over.

"Fourth brother, don't worry!"

Lu Wanlan had just finished exhorting, when Lu Yunzhao's roar came over: "What's wrong with you! You can't do such a small thing well!"

The second elder brother Lu Yunfan would not listen to his rebuke: "What do you want me to do? I have been holding them all the way!"

"How can it be broken?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

During the quarrel between the two, there seemed to be the voice of the sixth brother Lu Yunce: "Okay, okay, isn't there a spare box?"

As soon as the words fell, there was another "crash".

"Oh, fourth brother, don't kick me, I didn't mean to!"

"If you don't touch it, it can still fall by itself..."

Lu Wanlan was full of question marks, and didn't bother to listen to the quarrel between the brothers.

Sitting back in the carriage, he asked Xiaoxi again: "Isn't the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet only for important ministers and relatives? Why are my fourth brother and the others here?"

"This..." Xiao Xi scratched her head, "Tian Fu Lou was chosen to serve the banquet today, so not only the masters came, but also our cook."

Lu Wanlan couldn't understand these words even more, how come she was drunk for a while, and when she woke up, the world was turned upside down.

"Vegetarian feast, okay?"

After listening to Chi Zheng and Xiaoxi's description, Lu Wanlan finally knew what happened when she fell asleep.

It turned out that it was the day when I was drunk and drunk.

The capital and the surrounding four chief secretaries had torrential rains for two days in a row, and all the mature fertile fields were submerged in the water before they could be harvested.

At this time, the southwestern border came to report that the 37 barbarians had committed another rebellion, and started a bloody battle with the Feng family at the Zhuyun Ferry in the southern part of the canal.The Feng family's infantry retreated steadily as usual, and the Lu family had no choice but to send troops to help.

The so-called pulling one hair can move the whole body, so the battle in Liaodong became stalemate again.

Now, the son of Danba, who was supposed to be a man with his tail between his legs, came to celebrate the queen mother's birthday with great fanfare.He even said that he wanted Da Zhou to see what a real warrior is.

The words are vulgar and provocative.

It's fine that the border is unstable, but the capital is becoming more and more uneven.

Not long ago, the Holy Majesty lost his dragon son, and in a blink of an eye, he found Taifu Xie's third son Xie Huaijin in Heizhuangling in the south of the city, and died unexpectedly.

Looking at the past month, several children from aristocratic families in the capital died in Huangquan, and many unsolved cases have not yet been solved.

All indications are that this is not a good sign.

At that time, Qin Tianjian watched the sky at night and discovered that the two astrological phenomena "Yinghuo Shouxin" and "Venus conjoining the moon" appeared at the same time.

It is indeed a rare ominous phenomenon in a hundred years!
Although Lu Wanlan doesn't know astrology and divination, she has also heard of this phenomenon of "Yinghuo guards the heart", which has always been a celestial phenomenon that is enough to scare the emperor to pee his pants.

"Historical Records" clearly stated: "Ying Huo is the star of law enforcement, his actions are impermanent, and he sacrificed his life for the country: for the remnants of thieves, for the sickness, for the mourning, for the hunger, and for the soldiers.

In addition, "Venus conjoins the moon", Taibai belongs to gold, and gold dominates soldiers and leather.

In short, when this celestial phenomenon occurs, the emperor will die, and the world will be in chaos!

The remarks shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

When asked how to resolve it, Qin Tianjian was in charge, and Su Tianjing replied to Xiao Jingyu like this:
"This time coincides with the Empress Dowager's birthday, and there must be no more bloody things. All officials must burn incense and pray, bathe and fast, and then open the altar to worship the ancestors to ensure the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"So, this is the reason why Lujiatian Fulou's all-vegetarian banquet was selected?"

Lu Wanlan twitched the corner of her mouth, for some reason, she could hear a hint of conspiracy.

"Yes!" Xiaoxi nodded foolishly, and then seemed to think of something funny, "But Su Jianzheng also said that if the theory of the death of the emperor is to be resolved, it needs to be transferred out."

"Transfer? Where will it go?" Lu Wanlan was quite curious.

"It is to transfer the calamity of the Holy One to others."

"What? How could the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty ignore all the people just to make a living?"

Although Lu Wanlan didn't believe in this superstition, if Xiao Jingyu really ordered to pass the disaster on to others because of these nonsense, then he wouldn't be a good emperor.

"That's what His Majesty said!"

Xiaoxi nodded, imitating Xiao Jingyu's tone:
"It's inappropriate to pass it on to important ministers, and you can't harm the pillars of the dynasty; I can't bear to pass it on to the common people. Since this is God's punishment for me, I can't hurt others. Can Su Aiqing have another way?"

"He really said that?" Lu Wanlan was a little surprised after hearing these words, "Then what did you think of?"

Thinking of this last resort, Xiaoxi was out of breath from laughing again.

Seeing this, Lu Wanlan became anxious, so she asked Chi Zheng, "Come on."

Thinking of this, Chi Zheng also curled the corners of his mouth, one can imagine how absurd this approach is:

"Su Jianzheng said that instead of finding other ways to resolve it, it is better to pass it on to the hostile people directly."

"An enemy?"

Chi Zheng nodded:

"The sons of the seven tribes of Danba and the princess are nominally celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday, but they are restless. They even proposed to compete with the generals of the Zhou Dynasty in riding and shooting skills. The birthday banquet was arranged in the Shaolu paddock. It was originally an autumn hunting. But now you can't kill Therefore, the Ministry of Rites wanted to replace hunting with playing polo, and let the two sides compete on the pasture."

"Playing polo to pass on?" Lu Wanlan was puzzled.

At this moment, Xiaoxi finally stopped laughing, and answered again:
"Su Jianzheng said that the disaster should be cast on the spell and then stuffed into the polo. As long as the soldiers of Da Zhou hit the polo into the hole in Danba Qibu, it will be passed on!"

After she finished speaking, the three people in the carriage burst out laughing together.

Silver bell-like laughter spread far away, and Tang Feng, who was standing immediately following Xiao Yanzhi to inspect the team, felt at ease when he heard it.

He was about to tell his prince that this time he came out to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, and the princess would definitely eat and have fun.

But Xiao Yanzhi shouted with a dark face: "Cha!"

In an instant, Mo Xiaolie's horse neighed like lightning and galloped away.

The three people in the carriage stopped laughing, Lu Wanlan regarded it as a joke and stopped mentioning it, but Xie Huaijin's death surprised her.

No wonder Jia Dafang searched everywhere but couldn't find Xie Huaijin, and he was in a hurry to get rid of the batch of cotton silk. It turned out to be the reason.

Lu Wanlan originally wanted to send someone to wait at Meishi Ferry, and after the transaction between the two parties, when Xie Huaijin and Ke Yunlai met the shopkeeper, they would continue to follow the shopkeeper to find evidence of making salty cloth.

Buying and selling cotton and silk is a normal business, and it doesn't matter if you catch it.

But if they were caught by the government while trading in salt cloth, it would be the real stolen goods.

However, the news of Xie Huaijin's death has already spread throughout the capital, and the connector must have gotten wind of it, so he won't show up easily.

After Chi Zheng finished explaining Jia Dafang's situation, and then talked about the changes in the capital in recent days, Lu Wanlan pondered for a moment, then became worried again:

"Is there any news from Shuntian Mansion?"
