Chapter 1124 "The Mystery of Princess Chang'an's Death"

"What did you call me?"

Xiaoqian looked at Chen Hong blankly, with confusion and thought in her eyes.

Chen Hong wasn't too sure at first, he just thought it was a similar appearance, but after hearing the voice, he immediately became sure: "His Royal Highness, it is a servant girl. The servant girl once served in the palace of Concubine Duan, so the princess doesn't recognize the servant boy?"

Xiaoqian frowned, various messy images flooded her mind, she subconsciously waved her hand: "I... I don't recognize you... Get back!"

When Chen Hong found out that he was dead, he was terrified to the extreme. He finally saw an acquaintance, so he dared not leave. He fell on the ground and kowtowed: "I hope the princess is merciful! The princess is merciful! Save the slaves!"

Xiaoqian was a little agitated, she stretched out her hand, and the light flashed, Chen Hong and Zhu Shisan were sent to the center of the picture scroll, and went to the novice task.

"Princess Chang'an?"

Li Yan had been concerned about Xiaoqian's condition during this time, and when he heard Chen Hong's prayer, he immediately paid attention.

Princess Chang'an Zhu Shouyu, the eldest daughter of Jiajing, died of illness in her teens in history and was not well-known. However, her mother, Concubine Cao Duan, was involved in a famous incident, the Renyin Palace Change.

This palace change is also related to Tao Zhongwen. In addition to the classic "two dragons will not meet", this Taoist priest also has a notorious skill, that is, offering "red lead pills", "using red lead, taking When a virgin first performs menstruation, refine it like cinnabar to advance."

Li Shizhen criticized this in "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Nowadays there are alchemists' sorcery, instigating fools, and using the law to take virgins' menstrual water for food, which is called 'innate red lead'... Fools believe it and swallow the filth. Thinking of it as a secret recipe is deplorable."

The fool really believed it. Jiajing ordered the Ministry of Rites to send people to select more than a thousand folk women to enter the palace in Beijing, Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places. Another said that there were more than 400 people. "Select 14 women from eight to 300 years old "Entering the palace" and "choose 160 people under the age of ten, who will follow Tao Zhongwen's words for alchemy."

In order to keep the maids clean, they are not allowed to eat during menstruation, but can only eat mulberry leaves and drink dew. Tao Zhongwen has high requirements. Counting from the day when the virgin is born, the women's menstruation that occurs 48 days is the most precious. It is too early or too late. No, so many artificial methods were used to take a large amount of menstrual-inducing drugs.

This kind of behavior ruined many court ladies into inhuman shapes, and many of them died prematurely. In addition, Jiajing was moody and punished his subordinates at every turn.

The palace maid who couldn't survive organized the first and only maidservant rebellion in history.

The Renyin palace change broke out.

According to the "Wanli Ye Huo Bian", there were sixteen court ladies conspiring to sneak into the palace at that time. Since they could not get the murder weapon for direct assassination, they wove tassels into ropes and planned to strangle Jiajing to death, but because of excessive nervousness, the beating failed. One of the deadlocks, Zhang Jinlian, the youngest maid in the palace, saw that Jiajing was restrained and blackmailed by more than a dozen people, but there was always a trace of breath, thinking that the real dragon emperor could not be killed by mortals, so she ran to the queen's palace in a panic to inform the queen. Hastily brought people here, and finally rescued Jiajing with great danger.

The specific details are made up by Chinese people in unofficial history. Various versions are slightly different. The general process is recorded in the official history. , Misunderstood as a deadlock, endless gains. Colleague Zhang Jinlian didn't get things done, so he left and told the queen. Then he rushed over and disbanded the group, Emperor Su."

Regardless of Jiajing's death or not, these court ladies are actually hard to survive, and one of the most unlucky concubines involved in this incident is Princess Chang'an's mother, Concubine Cao Duan.

"Concubine Cao is beautiful, the emperor loves her, and she is registered as Concubine Duan." Jiajing had always favored this beautiful concubine, but it happened that when the maid assassinated that night, she slept in Concubine Cao Duan's palace, and the empress at that time had a heart attack. Jealousy, taking the opportunity to quell this big case, slandered Concubine Cao Duan as an accomplice to the palace maid's regicide, and convicted and executed all relevant people.

"Later ordered the internal supervisor Zhang Zuo and others to arrest the palace and miscellaneously... It is also said that although Concubine Cao Duan did not cooperate with her, she knew her plan. At that time, the emperor was ill and could not speak. Later, the emperor ordered Concubine Duan, Concubine Ning and Jin Ying to be informed. The graves were scattered in the city, and more than ten members of his family were killed. However, the concubine really didn't know it. After a long time, the emperor realized his injustice."

"Gravel in the city" means to be hanged. Unofficial history also said that Ling Chi was executed. It is debatable that Concubine Cao Duan was the concubine who suffered the worst torture in history, but Concubine Cao Duan died very wrongly, which is certain. .

The most damned did not die, the worst died.

Princess Chang'an is the daughter of Concubine Cao Duan who died in vain. Concubine Cao Duan died of illness a few years after her death. If Chen Hong did not admit the wrong person, then in this world, the soul of the princess who died of illness has been wandering around the world , and became a spirit ghost?

Li Yan worked hard, on the one hand, he continued to put pressure on Fan Xueya, on the other hand, he gave electrotherapy to the leech in the cage to prevent the sixteen parts from being reunited, and then sent Tao Yin and Chi Lian outside through sound transmission.

Tao Yin and Chi Lian were watching the talismans in the courtyard turn into ashes and scattered, lamenting the great power of the Thunder God's Forbidden Law and the serious wear and tear. After listening to the sound transmission, they came outside the hall: "Young Master, what do you want?"

Li Yan asked: "Do you have any impression of the reason Tao arranged for Xiaoqian to be by your side?"

Tao Yin also mentioned it once before, and recalled it carefully: "Four years ago, Tao asked 'me' to take Xiaoqian away, and his attitude at that time was quite weird, as if he couldn't wait. I think Xiaoqian's identity is Very extraordinary, maybe it is the daughter of a certain dignitary? 'I' has not been in Beijing for a long time, but it is hard to be sure..."

Li Yandao: "Since the birthless old mother god descended, Xiaoqian missed her mother, and her memories showed signs of recovery. Just now, Chen Hong's dead soul came out of the leeches and recognized Xiaoqian as Princess Chang'an. Although it has not been confirmed, but This person is an eunuch in the palace, so what he said has a certain degree of credibility."

Tao Yin changed his face: "Princess Chang'an? According to this, the old thief Tao intercepted the princess's soul and refined it into a ghost... Yes, this old thief is so bold, he really dares to do such a thing!"

Chi Lian wondered, "Although Tao Zhongwen is vicious and vicious, he will do anything to get the upper echelon. He does everything for the sake of gain. What is he trying to do to the princess?"

Tao Yin thought for a while and said, "When Xiaoqian came to me, she didn't have the ability of a spirit ghost. It was 'I' who discovered that she had an extraordinary spirituality and was extremely obsessed with bank notes, so I taught her slowly. It can be seen that Xiaoqian There is nothing to benefit from..."

Chi Lian said: "If Xiaoqian is really a princess, Tao Zhongwen will be handed over to my son to take with me? Aren't you afraid that the disaster will be exposed?"

Tao Yin was puzzled: "Yeah, he turned the princess into a ghost, and it's too late to hide it. How dare I carry it around?"

Chi Lian thought about it, and suddenly raised his thick eyebrows: "Grandma, he is trying to harm my son!"

Li Yan sighed: "Xiaoqian was a princess before she was alive, and her spirituality was extremely strong after her death. It is impossible for Tao Zhongwen not to see it, but she deliberately asked you to cultivate a spirit ghost. You have to bear this huge karma..."

Tao Yin's expression changed drastically.

Karma is a Buddhist term. Buddhism believes that all living beings have three karmas. The evil karma of the body: killing, stealing, and adultery; .

In this world, karma is closely related to calamity.

The karma of mortals is settled after death. Once more bad things are done, the sin karma will become deeper. After the dead soul goes to the underworld, it will enter the eighteenth level of hell.

The practitioner's karma is settled at any time. The deeper the karma, the greater the possibility of the Nine Calamities coming. Whether it is Buddhist monks, goblins, ghosts, or even gods of heaven and earth, they are not exempt.

Because of this, although there are monsters in the countryside that harm people, it is rare for an entire village or county to be slaughtered; monsters like the red-scaled python often hide in their holes and dare not go out; a warlike Taoist like Tan Yangzi, Be prepared in the heat of battle, not be swayed by anger...

On the other hand, Tao Taoist seems to be unscrupulous in raising spirit ghosts. At first, Xiaoqian rode on Li Yan, precisely because Tao Taoist valued the great merits and goodness of this famous doctor and living person. After the spirit ghost is finished, the doom is almost at hand.

Tao Yin understood, and was very angry: "The old thief really wants me to die, he is scheming everywhere, even digging a hole with a ghost?"

Li Yan faintly felt that something was wrong, and asked again: "Does Tao Zhongwen have a way to resolve karma?"

Tao Yin said: "Tao Shi'en mentioned that the old thief consecrated a celestial master's orb, which has ray light and auspicious energy, and has all kinds of magical effects. In addition to trust, the Celestial Master Orb is also the key."

Li Yan turned his gaze to Zhizhizi: "Chen Hong is the governor of the East Factory. If you devour him, don't you worry about karma backlash and doom?"

Leech released two souls, and was shocked by electric shock again. He thought this person was going to turn his face, he was relieved when he heard the question, and hurriedly said: "Swallowing this person, the karma is not enough to cause my doom."

Li Yandao: "In your eyes, roughly what level is the karma for killing Chen Hong?"

Leech said: "It's not as good as a county magistrate in Zhongtu, a famous name in Yingzhou."

After Chen Hong heard it, he might be very unconvinced. He was originally the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, one of the five highest-ranking eunuchs in the palace. Countless eunuchs have sharpened their heads, and they may not be able to squeeze into this position... …

But karma does not depend entirely on status, but also on causal influence. The eunuch Bingbi, who ranks at the bottom, is indeed not as influential in this aspect as the county magistrate with real power, and the parent officer in a place.

As for the governor of the East Factory, Chen Hong had only been on the job for a month, and he was on his way for more than half a month in the middle.

Li Yan nodded slightly, and asked again: "Do you have religious sacrifices in the country of Wa?"

This question made a huge jump, Leech was slightly taken aback, and replied: "Of course there are."

Li Yan looked at his form, his body was all soft, but his mouth was stiff, and he corrected him: "You were not allowed to sacrifice in Japan, but you devoured tens of thousands of souls, and your karma has accumulated to the point of terror. Now you are under Tao Zhongwen's orders." Are you acting for the Celestial Master Orb to eliminate karma?"

Leech was exposed, but he didn't deny it, and emphasized: "Not only Baozhu, Tao Zhongwen also has secrets related to Yingzhou, Your Excellency, let me live, I am willing to tell the secret!"

Li Yan already had a plan for this Japanese god in his mind, and after confirming his thoughts, he sent a voice transmission to Tao Yin: "Tao Zhongwen arranged Xiaoqian to be by your side, not just using you to raise ghosts to avoid karma, that matter The Celestial Master Orb can also do it."

"Taking a step back, Tao Zhongwen wants others to refine ghosts for him, and the disciples of the Heavenly Master have many choices. There is no reason to take the risk of exposure and let you carry it out. There should be other plans."

Tao Yin frowned: "What kind of plot can I have? At that time, 'I' was controlled by the 'Spirit Locking Ring', and I devoted myself to the Tao family, running around for the 'Jingxi Pill', wishing to hunt and kill my mother clan , even if you want to resist, you will end up like Guo Hongjing and Wang Yongning, right?"

Li Yandao: "Because of this, if doom is imminent, according to the state of one body and two souls at that time, who will be unlucky?"

Tao Yin was startled: "Nine calamities are not fatal, they are aimed at the soul, and I am the real master of the body... When the calamity comes, I am the first to bear the brunt of it? In this way, he has discovered my existence long ago, and knows my existence. Want to take back control of your body?"

Li Yan nodded: "That's right, Tao Zhongwen saw through your mother's infiltration of the 'Spirit Locking Ring' and arranged for Xiaoqian to come to your side. Not only will you bear the karma of raising spirit ghosts, but you will also use Xiaoqian to sabotage the rescue. If your true spirit is robbed, the will conceived by the 'spirit lock ring' can easily completely suppress you and completely control your body."

Tao Yin felt chills all over his body when he heard that, and Chi Lian clenched his fists tightly: "My mother's 30 years of hard work, in turn, was used by Tao Zhongwen to target my son?"

Although Li Yan didn't want to hit this guy, but now it seems that this is probably the closest answer.

In order for his son to get rid of God's forbidden control, Chi Lian used blood connections, and water dripped through stones, but in the end Tao Zhongwen was alarmed.

However, the celestial master never expected that Li Yan would appear and take Xiaoqian away, and help Tao Taoist invisibly, successfully get rid of the control of the "spirit-locking ring", which also triggered a series of subsequent changes.

Li Yandao: "Wu Sheng's old mother has a good saying, the way of heavenly masters should promote the orthodox teaching of heaven and earth, and eliminate the evil atmosphere in the world, but Tao Zhongwen is full of calculations, and one day he will suffer the consequences of his own evil."

"If Xiaoqian is really Princess Chang'an, and Tao Zhongwen personally refined her into a ghost, the death of the princess is by no means a simple death at a young age, death of illness, and a huge secret hidden behind it..."

"Fan Gaoshi, the divine prohibition left by the master on you is about to explode!"

The last sentence was addressed to Fan Xueya in the hall.

Fan Xueya didn't know that the person in front of her was communicating with several parties at the same time, but she was so shocked that she was already fidgeting, and was thinking about how to cover up for her teacher, when she heard this, she was startled suddenly: "Don't joke about Dr. Li..."

"Bring the spirit crane over here."

Li Yan gave an order, and the spirit crane in the courtyard quickly came to the front of the hall, with its slender neck bent down, which was originally a very elegant etiquette, but the floating halo greatly damaged the beauty.

Fan Xueya frowned, and explained: "This restriction is indeed set by the teacher, it is actually to protect the spiritual pet, not to be abducted by outsiders..."

Li Yan was noncommittal, the gold thread on his wrist flew out and tapped seven times on Fan Xueya's neck.

"what are you doing……"

Fan Xueya's face suddenly changed, and just about to scold her, her body froze suddenly.

Because a more mysterious divine prohibition slowly emerged from his neck, and the person in front of him shook his head slightly: "It seems that the teacher is also afraid that you will be abducted by outsiders!"
