Chapter 307

The art of witchcraft is a kind of belief and folk custom that originated in ancient times, including curses, puppet hate and so on.The technique existed in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the laws of the Han and Tang dynasties both expressly prohibited it. For example, the laws of the Han Dynasty stipulated that if a Gu worm raised by a certain family had formed, the breeder would be sentenced to death and the whole family would be exiled for three thousand miles.

The famous empress Chen Ajiao in the Han Dynasty, also the heroine of the idiom Jinwu Zangjiao, was demoted to a commoner because of witchcraft. Framed the prince, resulting in the death of all the prince and his family members, and even the legendary woman Wei Zifu who was promoted from a female slave to a queen was also ordered to commit suicide because of this, a tragedy involving tens of thousands of people before and after her death!

Therefore, witchcraft is the most taboo and terrible thing in the courts of all dynasties!It's not surprising that Li Linfu sued Wang Shou, the uncle of the country, for a group of witchcraft to beg for a child for the queen, and he was still in the forbidden palace!don't panic!

Zhang Jiuling said solemnly: "Master Li, this matter is of great importance, so there is no room for falsehood!"

Li Linfu spoke righteously and honestly: "The lower officials will guarantee to the superiors that if what they say is false, they are willing to kill the whole family!"

Seeing that he said so swearingly, everyone saw that Wang Shouyi, the uncle of the country, had already collapsed on the ground, so everyone couldn't believe it, so they focused their eyes on Li Longji for a while.

Li Longji's brows and eyes were full of anger, but they were all suppressed. His voice was ethereal, not like a human emperor, but like an emperor in the sky. He sneered and said, "He is really my good uncle!" After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Wang Shouyi stretched out his hands on the ground and howled, "Your Majesty is merciful! Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty!"

Li Longji pretended not to hear, and walked into the curtain in a flash.

Everyone was taken aback!Why did His Majesty leave like this?How to deal with this matter?Talking, whispering, discussing.

But Gao Lishi said loudly: "Ministers, please wait patiently!"

When everyone heard this, they kept silent, but they still asked and passed on the news with their eyebrows.

In the Kunde Palace, the queen's greetings are not over yet. The concubines in the Six Palaces are all discussing how to prepare and how to choose the once-in-a-lifetime general election for the Shangsi Festival. Only Chang Xi is lazily sitting on a chair because of her pregnancy. , Drinking tea and not speaking.

The queen is so happy!

Since the death of Concubine Li, Chang Xi is the only one who has the right to act as assistant to the sixth house in the harem. Therefore, Chang Xi's power is getting stronger and stronger, and she almost has a tendency to surpass the queen. This is what the queen is most frightened of. !You must know that the secret of being able to stand still without a favor for many years is to use the queen's prestige and power to win over the palace people in the palace, and eliminate all potential threats in the bud!Once this power is also eroded by others, she will face a crisis that no one can use!Therefore, it is best for Chang Xi not to use her authority as an assistant to the Sixth Palace without desire or demand. She is happy to make people forget that this beloved concubine not only has His Majesty's favor, but also has another great power!
The queen listened carefully to the opinions of the concubines, and intervened to correct them in a timely manner. Seeing that everyone was convinced by her power, she was about to send everyone away, and said: "My sisters are also tired. today…"

"His Majesty is here!"

Xiao Luzi's shrill report interrupted the queen's speech, which surprised everyone. At this time, Li Longji should be in the Hanyuan Hall, why did he come to the harem?Everyone wanted to return to their thoughts, but no one dared to be negligent, and they all stood up, only to see Li Longji, wearing the most solemn court clothes and a jade crown, flying in with strides.

"The concubine sees Your Majesty!" The voices of Yingying and Yanyan in the room were also very pleasant one after another.

But Li Longji didn't answer at all, didn't even say "please rise", and walked straight inside. Amid the astonishment of everyone, the queen said in surprise, "Your Majesty? What is this?"

"Hmph!" Li Longji glanced at the queen with a sharp look, and flew into the inner palace with his hands behind his back.

Because everyone didn't know what Li Longji was going to do, they all knelt on the ground and dared not get up. For a moment, they only heard the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong. Makeup boxes, vases, embroidery cages and other sundries were all flying in the air, and the queen shouted in horror: "Your Majesty, what are you doing!" Then brocade quilts, pillows, and quilts were all thrown out, and there were still people inside. Holding the Queen's bellyband embroidered with a mandarin duck in white moon satin, it fluttered from the mid-air and fell under the eyes of everyone, causing a burst of ridicule. The Queen was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. She was also aware of the matter Seriously, just cried: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do!"

The whole scene in the Kunde Hall was extremely chaotic, as if a house had been raided, and all the maids serving in the inner hall screamed and were kicked out by Li Longji.

At this time, some shrewd concubines have realized that Li Longji is looking for something!
For a moment, when the queen was still crying and asking, Li Longji strode out from the inner hall, raised a black wooden doll to the queen with a face full of anger, and shouted: "What is this!"

The queen was scared out of her wits just by looking at it. This is exactly the wishing charm her elder brother Wang Shouyi got from the sorceress in Chang'an city!

Li Longji looked at the queen whose complexion turned from white to blue, and asked again: "I'll ask you again, what is this!"

The queen was so frightened that she trembled all over, knelt on the ground and stammered: "This is.... This is for a child.... Divine amulet!"

"You!" Li Longji yelled furiously, and threw the wooden doll towards the queen's face. The queen didn't dare to dodge, and let the solid wooden doll fly over her right cheek, drawing an arc, Falling at the feet of the kneeling talented man.

At this time, the queen could no longer care about her demeanor and dignity, and said with tears flowing down her cheeks, "Your Majesty! The concubine didn't do it on purpose! It wasn't on purpose!"

Li Longji snorted coldly, pointed his halberd and cursed angrily: "As the lord of the six palaces, you know that witchcraft is strictly forbidden in the harem, but you dare to bring such dirty things into the palace, you are going to die! Say it! "

When everyone saw Li Longji throwing out the wooden doll, they felt concerned, but they still hesitated and couldn't believe it, after all, it was too sensational!The lord of the first palace took the lead in practicing witchcraft, and everyone thought of the queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Chen Ajiao. Later, when they heard Li Longji yelling and cursing, they realized that this was true, and they all wiped their sweat secretly. It is the most widespread, and if you are not sure, you will be involved. For a while, everyone in the hall is in danger except Chang Xi.

The queen was so frightened that half of her souls were scattered, and she cried: "Your Majesty, calm down! It's too hard for my concubine to have no children for a long time, so I came up with such a stupid way. It's really useless for my concubine to harm people! Please, Your Majesty!" show mercy!"

Li Longji snorted and shouted, "You are the only one who deserves a child!"

These words are really hurtful, the empress cried like tears, knowing that her life is hanging by a thread today, if she doesn't explain clearly, she will be deposed at least, or given death at worst!He pulled Li Longji's sleeve and mourned: "Your Majesty! This concubine is nearly forty years old, but she is still old and childless. I have tried all kinds of methods and suffered all kinds of hardships, but I can't do it like other palaces. The concubine is so happy to have a son, and the concubine is very lonely and scared! I really want to taste what it is like to be a mother! Since this talisman was invited into the palace, the concubine has been chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha in Baohua hall all day long. I have never used it to harm anyone! I beg Your Majesty to forgive my concubine once for the sake of years of love!"

"You! How confused!" Li Longji closed his eyes angrily, not wanting to say anything more.

Guo Shunyi, who was kneeling beside her, was also quite frightened. Once the empress fell, there would be no place for him to stand in the harem. Seeing that Li Longji's words were a little loose, he hurriedly stepped forward to intercede: "Back when Webster made rebellion, Your Majesty led troops into the harem." The palace is in chaos, and the empress swore in the mansion that if one day, the heavens do not bless me, Tang Dynasty, she will die for her! Please recite the loyalty and integrity of the empress, and forgive her for being confused for a while!"

Yu Zhaorong also took the opportunity to say: "Besides, the empress did not use this thing to harm anyone, she just wanted to beg for a son, please be merciful, Your Majesty!"

"Please be merciful, Your Majesty!" The concubines behind him kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Li Longji looked at the kneeling crowd, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. After all, he was married to his wife. Although he didn't love her very much, he had a relationship with her for decades. He still couldn't bear to depose her and give her to death like this. of.

Chang Xi also knelt on the ground and begged for permission: "Your Majesty! The empress is the mother of a country. She has always been dignified and virtuous. What she did today was because she was eager to have a child so she was so foolish. Please recite the benefits of the empress's usual days and forgive my empress. Once, it will be regarded as accumulating virtue for the child in the womb of the concubine!"

The queen didn't expect that Chang Xi would intercede for her at this time instead of reading a joke, and she was deeply moved. The other concubines also secretly praised Chang Xi for being broad-minded and tolerant. Only a few concubines thought that Chang Xi's move was so stupid. It's obvious that he will be in the lower position, so why bother to do such thankless things.

Li Longji stretched out his hand to help Chang Xi up from the ground, settled her on a chair and sat down, and said: "You are pregnant with a child, be careful, kneeling on the ground like this, what if you hurt the child!"

Chang Xi didn't expect that Li Longji was still thinking of himself in such an environment, and was greatly moved in his heart, but said softly: "My concubine is fine!"

Only then did Li Longji turn his head in reassurance, and looked at the sobbing queen on the ground. Although he was angry, he was ready to let her go. When he returned to Hanyuan Hall, he said that Wang Shouyi was the mastermind and the queen was an accomplice. !But this Queen's position cannot be allowed to continue!Well, it's good to be reduced to a beauty!Thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "It's up to you..."

"Eh? What is this!" The talented man interrupted Li Longji, and fiddled with the talisman in his hand, only to see a row of small characters engraved on the back!
The queen was startled, only to hear Li Longji say in a deep voice, "Show me!"

The talented man respectfully presented the talisman. Li Longji held it in his eyes and looked carefully. It turned out that just now he was so angry that he only saw his birthday engraved on the front of the puppet, but he didn't pay attention to the small characters on the back of the puppet. After being mentioned by the talented person, he put the puppet under the lamp to examine it for himself, and saw a very small line of words engraved on it: those who match this talisman will have a son who will stand shoulder to shoulder with Queen Zetian!

 I was sick and vomited until the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were dark. I just came back from the hospital to prescribe the medicine. I sent a chapter of 3000 words. Please forgive me!Hey, did some readers make an appointment with Zi Mo to stop updating?Zi Mo has never been updated, and now he will continue to work hard and strive to send the remaining 2000 characters in a while!
