Confused country poison concubine

Chapter 541: The Deceitful Dynasty (1)
Li Shilang even asked someone to hold him down, so he couldn't rush forward and tear up the burning lamp.

The tragic state of his beloved daughter's corpse made him wish he could cut her into pieces!

"See Your Highness!" The lamp burner knelt down too slowly and with difficulty, but he didn't seem to see the queen mother sitting in the hall.

Bailichu looked at the lamp, and said indifferently: "Who is in the hall?"

Ran Deng whispered: "The poor nun, Ran Deng, is the current owner of the Mantra Palace."

Bailichu nodded, then looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple, and raised his chin: "I'll leave it to you."

The Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice immediately came out to lead the order. They glanced at each other, and they both saw deep hostility.

They belonged to the camps of the Du family and the eighth prince, and in less than half a year, the two stood on the same ring again, but this time it was unknown who would win and who would win!

After Dali Temple Minister got up, he immediately asked Ran Deng first: "Master Ran Deng, do you know why His Highness and the Queen Mother summoned you here?"

While speaking, he kept winking at the lamp.

"The poor nun knows, it's because of the Tianning Temple case." Ran Deng looked up at Dali Siqing, and even twitched at him.

The Minister of Dali Temple thought that she had understood her hint, and immediately said: "Oh, what is your relationship with this matter, my teacher? Offering money and seducing the pilgrims who offer incense all the time, you can understand this since you haven’t been on the mountain for a long time in the Mantra Palace!”

This is clearly hinting at Ran Deng, asking her to say 'I don't know', and then pull herself out of it.

But he didn't want Ran Deng to suddenly lower his head and whisper: "No, the poor nun knows about it."

As soon as this remark came out, Dali Temple Minister was stunned for a moment, looked at her in disbelief, and then at the Queen Mother Lafayette who had been sitting on top.

The Empress Dowager tightly squeezed the Buddha beads in her hand, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Could it be that Ran Deng knew something, so he didn't accept her 'kindness'?
"Ran Deng, since you know about Tianning Temple's activities, why don't you stop it as the owner of the Mantra Palace!" Shangshu Xingbu's eyes lit up, and he immediately continued to ask.

Ran Deng gave him a blank look: "Because this is what the poor nuns ordered them to do. Tianning Temple was originally the biggest source of income for Zhenyan Palace besides the Du family's financial assistance."

"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.

The Minister of Dali Temple immediately frowned and said sharply: "Lan Deng, stop talking nonsense, where is the evidence!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice glanced at him, and said sarcastically: "Why are you so annoyed, are you intimidating witnesses?"

One sentence changed Ran Deng from a 'prisoner' to a 'witness'.

So who is the 'prisoner'?
Everyone's eyes drifted over Xiang Guogong and other members of the Du family's faction.

Duke Xiang's face was gloomy. He expected that Ran Deng would spit out the truth, but he didn't expect that she would directly drag the Du family into the water so simply. After all, the blood of the Du family was flowing on her body!

He opened his mouth, and just about to say something, he saw Lord Chang staring at him and said in a cold voice: "Master Guo, it's better not to speak casually, intimidating witnesses hinders the justice of the case."

Bailichu's cold gaze swept over him, making Duke Xiang froze, and finally he didn't dare to yell any more. If the name of "intimidation" is justified, even if the result is beneficial to the Du family, he will be taken away with pigtails.

"Ran Deng, just say what you say." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment looked at Ran Deng seriously, and at the same time signaled to the clerk on the side to continue recording.

Ran Deng lowered his eyes, and said everything like beans in a bamboo tube. From the beginning, the establishment of the Palace of Mantras was the hidden secret of the Du family's investment, to participating in the affairs that affect the emperor's succession every year, and the benefits obtained from it. Say nothing.

It's just that the influence of the national teacher from these things has been diluted a lot.

Although the courtiers knew about the relationship between the Mantra Palace and the Du family, they were still shocked and dumbfounded. The only thing was that they were reluctant to mention the role of the National Teacher and Living Buddha in these matters, or even let it go. .

Of course, it also includes the fact that the recent emperors were all caused by Du's daughters, and they are also kept secret.

After all, no matter who the emperor is, or what kind of person Empress Du looks like, but from the perspective of the family ancestral temple, they are all orthodox descendants, and there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention that the emperor's throne is still sitting firmly.

"The Palace of Mantras form cliques for personal gain, how can they be indulged lightly!"

"It's really blasphemy for a monk and Buddha to intervene in the affairs of the court!"

"Don't take it lightly!"

"..."

Li Shilang, who had been staring at the burning lamp, suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Duke Xiang, and sneered hoarsely, "I'm afraid someone is using the name of Buddhism to manipulate the court. It's simply treason!"

The word "conspiracy" made everyone's faces change, and they all remembered the case of the Eighth Prince a few months ago. At the beginning, it was the Du family who accused him of treason, but now the situation has changed drastically. Feet also stepped into this 'swamp'.

But all the parties involved in the treasonous matter will be stripped of their skins!
Duke Xiang immediately knelt down with a 'plop', and led the members of the Du family to swear to the sky, expressing their loyalty with tears streaming down their faces.

And the ministers who accused them made a memorial one after another to impeach the Du family's family. The posture of everyone holding a memorial was clearly planned long ago, and Duke Xiang's eyes were dizzy with anger.

There was almost a mess of porridge in the court.

Until the Empress Dowager slapped the table, she quietly said: "Now Your Majesty is also from the Ai family. The previous generations of emperors all have the blood of my Du family. Anyone in this world may rebel, except the Du family."

At this moment, all the courtiers finally calmed down, even the people from the Eighth Prince's faction had to secretly praise the Queen Mother Lafayette for being Lafayette!
Seeing this, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was moved in his heart, maybe this opportunity...

He coughed lightly and continued: "Ran Deng, let's not get involved in other things, let's discuss the matter."

Since the leaders of the Eight Princes faction have all expressed their attitude of controlling the matter within a certain range and not involving too much, the courtiers can stand on this golden palace, and naturally all of them are human beings. Knowing that Lafayette is here, the Du family Will not really die.

Why bother to break up completely with the still powerful Lafayette at this time, after all, she is the emperor's wife!

Their purpose was nothing more than to impeach the Du family and force the Du family to draw a clear line with the Palace of Mantras. Winning the Palace of Mantras would be a great achievement, so they all temporarily stopped.

Dali Siqing and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Yebai looked boredly at the various people in the hall who were full of ghosts, and then glanced at His Highness She Guo who was still reclining on the Dragon Seat as a couch. She saw his face was indifferent, but she saw a little interest in his eyes , She couldn't help lowering her head to hide the smile on her lips.
