After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 256 Time Wrong

"Stop the emperor?" Yao Shouning couldn't help being taken aback when he heard what the eldest princess said, and then repeated.

Zhu Hengrui nodded, and gave Yao Shouning a meaningful look:
"Earlier, someone broke into the underground palace of Dai Wang. The soldiers guarding the tomb heard the movement, broke through the gate of the tomb to enter, and found traces of evil spirits inside, have you heard?"

Yao Shouning couldn't help but feel guilty when she heard her mentioning this matter.

More than heard?She and Lu Zhi even personally participated in this matter.

At this moment, she realized that why the eldest princess even complained about the "miscellaneous affairs" in the mansion was because she and Lu Zhi were the instigators.

"heard."

Yao Shouning nodded, always felt that the eldest princess's eyes were playful, but she could only pretend not to understand:
"A few days ago, when the people from Zhenmensi came to my house, they mentioned this matter."

Zhu Hengrui also knew what good things his son had done. After all, Lu Zhi's wound from being bitten by a snake had just healed, and the lingering poison had not cleared away. He was still in a wheelchair.

She turned serious and said:

"The emperor summoned the princes from all over the country to Beijing, and now he has drawn up a batch of lists, ready to open the coffin for autopsy."

Although this move is well-known, it is after all the graves of the royal ancestors to be dug, and many of them are even the descendants of princes, so naturally they strongly oppose it.

"They all think that the matter of the king's underground palace is just a coincidence. After all, it was 700 years ago when the monster race occupied the world and fish and meat humans!"

Human life is short, and some wounds are quickly forgotten.

If it wasn't for Liu Bingzhou's entry into the capital this time and forcing out the evil spirits lurking in Yao's house, it would have sounded a wake-up call to the world - "I'm afraid these descendants of the royal family will still be dreaming and dying, thinking that the monsters are just rumors, fabricated by the world. existence."

Zhu Hengrui has a straightforward temperament, speaks meat and vegetables, and is happy and angry, but when she mentions this matter, there is a rare expression of pity on her face.

But this kind of emotion only appeared on her face for a moment, and soon she changed into a sarcastic expression:

"These people all think that they are the proud sons of heaven, and that it is absolutely impossible for the evil spirits to harm their ancestors, so they oppose the opening of the coffin."

'Humph! ' She sneered, deliberately teasing Yao Shouning:

"The last one who was so confident was my son!"

'puff! Yao Shouning was immediately amused by her, and realized that he was not being kind to the prince, so he quickly folded his hands and covered his mouth.

However, she smiled with big eyes, and the eldest princess also hooked the corners of her mouth when she saw it, and then said:

"Taking advantage of my son's funeral today, I'll be stalking here."

Yao Shouning also heard clearly the meaning of Zhu Hengrui's words, but she was a little curious:
"Since you don't want to destroy the mausoleum, why don't you ask the emperor to play it?"

"emperor?"

Hearing what she said, Zhu Hengrui laughed several times in succession, with both disdain and disgust in his eyes:

"He followed Chen Taiwei, devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, and tried to live forever, so he didn't care about the government, the world, and the people."

The two walked side by side, and the eldest princess spoke bluntly in front of Yao Shouning:

"But Zhu Dingchen is not good at governing the country, but he is very good at playing with power."

In the imperial court, there are four major factions, Gu Dang, Lu Dang, Chu Dang and a prison division.

Except for the Prison Secretary, on the surface, the three parties are opposed and check each other, but in fact, the eldest princess and Lu Wuji and his wife are really at odds with the emperor.

And Gu Huanzhi is the father-in-law of Emperor Shenqi, and Chu Xiaotong was dialed by Emperor Shenqi back then.

The two parties are at odds on the surface, but they are actually colluding behind the scenes, and they are all forces in the hands of Shenqi Emperor Zhu Dingchen.

Coupled with the fact that Emperor Shenqi's prison division completely belongs to Emperor Shenqi, in fact, Emperor Shenqi has held the power inside and outside the court extremely steadily over the years.

He is moody and cruel, and he has two lackeys, Chu Xiaotong and Feng Zhen, working on his behalf. No matter whether he is a prince, general or common people, they are all frightened when they hear the news. How can they have the courage to challenge Emperor Shenqi?

"They didn't dare to say such things to the emperor, so they wanted to make me a leader."

Zhu Hengrui was a thorn in Emperor Shenqi's side, but she had one hundred thousand elite soldiers in her hand. Before the late emperor left, she was given a lot of authority. Now that more than 20 years have passed, Emperor Shenqi has become more and more intolerable to her.

In the eyes of these princes who came to Beijing from other places, Zhu Hengrui was powerful and domineering, and he had never dealt with the emperor, so it was most suitable for her to come forward.

Since the hatred will not be drawn to them at that time, maybe Emperor Shenqi will bear it because of the strength of Zhu Hengrui's troops.

Yao Shouning didn't pay much attention to the forces and factions in the DPRK and China, but now he heard what the eldest princess said, and felt that the situation of the couple seemed extremely difficult.

"What about the princess?"

She looked up at the eldest princess, with a bit of worry in her eyes, Zhu Hengrui's heart softened at the sight, and she reached out to rub her face:

"Oh, Shouning is really cute."

She has a keen sense and is good at detecting people's emotions - in other words, Yao Shouning has a strong ability to empathize, and a word of comfort at this time doubles the favor of the eldest princess.

"If only you were my daughter."

"Oh, princess!" Yao Shouning's cheeks turned red from being rubbed by her, and he was also a little embarrassed by the praise. He quickly held her hand and straightened his hair.

"I just watch them make trouble, anyway, it's none of my business, and it's not my ancestral grave that was dug."

Zhu Hengrui smiled, let her take her hand away, and said something nonchalantly.

Even if she dared to propose digging her own grave, Emperor Shenqi would not dare to agree.

"It's been 28 years since my father passed away, and it's been a few years since he entered Zhaoling."

When she said this, Yao Shouning suddenly remembered something!

A few days ago, when Liu Bingzhou arrived at Yao’s house in the capital of the gods, when he forced out the shadow of the monster snake hiding on Su Miaozhen’s body, before summoning the Confucian saints, he said a mantra: In the winter of the 29th year of Daqing Shenqi, Liu Bingzhou, a disciple of the sage Nan Zhaoru, went to the mansion of Yao Hui, the commandant of the army and horses in the capital of the gods, to kill the demon soul!

At that time, the situation was chaotic, first the demons appeared in the world, and then the figure of Confucian saints appeared in the sky above Yao's house like a miracle, everyone panicked and didn't pay attention to the details of Liu Bingzhou's words.

Yao Shouning didn't take it seriously at the time, but now things have changed, and today he had a sudden conversation with the eldest princess, and heard her mention that the late emperor died 28 years ago, and Yao Shouning suddenly realized that Emperor Shenqi had only been on the throne for 28 years.

It is only 28 years since Daqing, how did my grandfather record it as 29 years?
Liu Bingzhou only studied and did not become an official, so it is possible to remember wrongly.

Maybe it was because of a misremembering of the time that the fox demon got away with it—or maybe my grandfather was deceived by the fox king at that time.

After all, Lu Zhi said that fox demons are good at deceiving people and hiding their whereabouts.

She was thinking about something in her heart. After the eldest princess finished speaking, she saw that she was silent and looked thoughtful, so she couldn't help calling her:
"Shouning? Shouning?"

"Huh—huh?" She suddenly recovered.

"What are you thinking?" For some reason, the eldest princess looked at Yao Shouning more and more cordially, wishing she could stay in the mansion forever and not let her go home.

Seeing her in a daze at this moment, he couldn't help but patted her head:
"what happened?"

"I remembered something."

Yao Shouning didn't hide from her, so he told the eldest princess the doubts in his heart:
"...After my grandfather finished speaking that day, the Confucian sage appeared and killed the evil spirits. But this year is the 28th year of Daqing Shenqi, not the 29th year—"

Zhu Hengrui heard that she was thinking about this matter, so she couldn't help thinking for a moment:

"I don't know much about the awe-inspiring spirit of Confucianism, but I heard a few words from my teacher back then."

Because Liu Bingzhou's recognition of 'Senior Sister' today can be considered as a master-student status between the eldest princess and Zhang Raozhi, she called Zhang Raozhi 'teacher' in public and said:

"Confucianism uses awe-inspiring aura to urge speech orders. This technique is somewhat similar to the power of the Bianji clan."

Words are spoken and decrees are done.

But compared to the innate instincts of the Bianji clan and relying mainly on their own strength, the power of Confucianism is somewhat limited.

Relying on Confucianism, they turned their talent into righteousness, so that they could invite the shadow of "Confucian saints" and act with their strength.

Since it is to "borrow" the power to invite the gods, it is necessary to gather several major elements in order to truly kill the evil spirits.

"Among these major elements, time, place, and what you do are all indispensable."

The eldest princess explained:

"In this way, the evil spirits can be accurately killed."

She changed her voice and said again:

"Perhaps when we first saw a demon, your grandfather made a mistake and shouted at the wrong time, but the place was right, and another demon appeared in Yao's house, and the snake monster was not a big deal, so in the end there was no danger, but some A small accident will not affect the final result."

Zhu Hengrui's explanation was also considered reasonable. Yao Shouning hesitated for a moment, then nodded, which was considered to be his approval of the explanation.

After the eldest princess finished speaking, she smiled again:
"In any case, at that time, the snake demon was dead, the Confucian saint appeared, and your grandfather made a name for himself, which also alerted the people of the world. It was also a good thing that the conspiracy of the demon clan to come back quietly was strangled."

Yao Shouning responded, and suddenly remembered another thing:

"By the way, princess, Taizu back then—"

She remembered what Yao Wanning had said, and guessed that the 'River God' was born a long time ago, and may have something to do with the Taizu back then.

This matter should have been discussed with the prince, but at the beginning there were too many people and it was not convenient to talk to Lu Zhi.

The latter two finally got to be alone. For some reason, Shi Zi lost his temper and got awkward, but she didn't have time to say anything.

At this moment, he was about to ask the eldest princess about the life of Taizu Daqing, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly heard a child's voice.

"You guys are chasing me! Chasing me!"

The eldest princess frowned, then turned to ask:

"Where's the child?"

Yao Shouning looked sideways, there was a clump of dwarf vines beside the two of them, behind the vines was a path paved with blue stones, not far away a child rushed out from a corner of the octagonal pavilion, set foot on the path, and galloped in the direction of the two of them.

The child was about five years old, just at the age of mischief. He wore a sapphire blue thick brocade robe, shaved his head, and wore a mink hat. His cheeks were flushed and he was out of breath.

While running, the child turned his head to look, turned around a clump of grass, and bumped into the direction of the two of them.

The child was still turning around and looking behind, not guarding against anyone in front of him at all.

Seeing that the child was about to hit him, the eldest princess stretched out a long leg to hook him, and the child's short leg kicked Zhu Hengrui's protruding leg, tripped and lost his balance. He raised it high.

The child was caught in mid-air, panicked at first, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hug the eldest princess to stabilize his figure.

But the next moment, the eldest princess stretched out her long arms, and his outstretched hands were empty, a pair of small hands drew a circle, the body was hanging in the air, dangling, and a pair of calves curled up, swinging non-stop.

"Hey, who are you?"

He looks pink and jade-carved, but he is very cute, but when he speaks, his tone and demeanor are a bit arrogant.

The eldest princess couldn't hear such a tone, no matter whether the other party was a child or not, her eyebrows were twisted, and her eyes were already a bit unkind.

"Where did the child come from! He is rampaging in the mansion!"

"Bold!" The child was not afraid of life when he saw the two of them. Hearing what the eldest princess said, he yelled instead.

Then his big eyeballs turned 'gulu', and his eyes fell on Yao Shouning next to him, his eyes lit up:
"Beautiful sister!"

The eldest princess couldn't bear it anymore, her hand shook——

The child seemed to be flying through the clouds, and every time he went up and down, he was startled at first, and then kicked his limbs wildly.

It's just that the other person's calf is short and the back of the neck is suspended, so neither his arms nor legs can kick anyone.

Zhu Hengrui only held him up in the air, and he kicked and kicked him down, turning his body in circles and shouting loudly:
"Let me go, let me go! You bastard!"

The eldest princess is not a good man and a faithful woman.

She always treats people equally: no matter whether the other party is a man or a woman, old or young, she beats everyone who doesn't like her.

Seeing that the child was being naughty, she held him with one hand and slapped him with the other, lifted the hem of the child's thick clothes, and slapped him down on the buttocks and thighs!
"Wow--"

Perhaps because he didn't expect to be beaten, the child who was still fierce before suddenly lost his breath, cried loudly, and struggled:

"Let go of me, I am the eldest son of Prince Jian's son, if you dare to hit me, I will let my father kill you!"

It's fine if he doesn't say this, but when he said this, the eldest princess hit her harder.

After a few palms, the child immediately spoke honestly, just begging:
"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

The cry of the child soon attracted a large group of servants, and several nurses and servants rushed over. After seeing the eldest princess, everyone was shocked.

At this time, the eldest princess was no longer the cheerful and amiable appearance in front of Yao Shouning, but an indescribable majesty.

She let go of her hand, and the beaten child fell to the ground.

Fortunately, it was winter, and he was wearing thick clothes. After landing, he rolled on the ground, sat up, covered his buttocks and screamed for pain, crying very sadly.

Others didn't dare to coax him at this moment. After recognizing the eldest princess, a group of people knelt down on the ground.

"My Uncle Wang really gets more and more confused the older I get, the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, and the servants I raise have no rules, and I can't even look after a child!"

The eldest princess didn't have a good impression of King Jian, and she was not polite when she spoke, so that everyone dared not speak out.

The child who was still sobbing before would also look at people's faces, but now he stopped talking, rubbed his butt obediently, and hid behind Yao Shouning.
