Confused country poison concubine

545 Chapter 2 Turning against each other ([-])
Generals like Li Mu and Lord Chang were so angry that their faces were ashen, and their fists were crunching.

"No...I don't accept it!" Li Shilang was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out suddenly. Fortunately, there were colleagues nearby who could help him.

The atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall became desolate and indignant, depressing.

And the grief and indignation that has been suppressed for a long time will become a complete anger that burns like fire?

Although Xiang Guogong still held his chest straight, the gleam in his eyes betrayed the fear in his heart, and the Du family's children around him even lowered their heads, and they didn't know what they were thinking, were they afraid or ashamed?
Qiu Yebai looked around at the scene in the Taiji Hall, and sighed secretly in her heart, she was really amazed at the man Bailichu's ability to grasp people's hearts and control the situation.

It seems that as long as he hopes and thinks, he can lead everyone's emotions.

I just didn't want the national teacher to walk to the gate of the palace, but suddenly stopped.

Everyone in the Taiji Hall looked at his back and felt a 'click' in their hearts.

Yuan Ze turned his body slightly, and said lightly: "That's right, there is one more thing that the poor monk almost forgot to tell everyone. This sacrifice is not over yet. We need someone who is noble in the palace and has served the Buddha for more than 40 years." At noon the next day, I will sacrifice my body with fire on the altar, and the ceremony will be considered complete, and we will show our sincerity to God and the Buddha.”

Fire festival? !
The courtiers were terrified for a moment, and almost doubted their ears.

Is this to tie a living person to a pyre and burn him alive to sacrifice to heaven?
After the Han Dynasty, history books seldom record the burial and sacrifice of living people in later dynasties, and there is no such terrible tradition whether it is the previous dynasty or the imperial state that lasted for nearly 300 years!
"I want someone with a noble status in the palace to show my sincerity..."

"Women who have served the Buddha for more than 40 years..."

Everyone's eyes could not help but fell on the two people - one was kneeling on the ground, extremely embarrassed; the other was sitting on a big sandalwood chair, covered in pearls and emeralds.

The empress dowager is jealous, all the concubines who have no children in the palace die young, and those who have sons have followed their sons to fiefs as empress dowagers for many years. In the past 40 years of practicing Buddhism, a female layman with a noble status is the most suitable for the empress dowager. Of course, there are reluctance Ran Deng, who has something to do with the inner palace, has a high status and is also the owner of the Palace of Mantras.

So, these two sisters are the ones who are used for sacrifice?

After the courtiers were stunned, most of them showed cold and mocking expressions, and some even showed a gloating smile.

No matter how the queen mother denies it, the situation of Ran Deng's words and the hatred and resentment in her eyes cannot be faked. Some things do not need evidence, because the evidence is in the heart.

No matter who is going to sacrifice to the gods and Buddhas with fire, that is the only thing that makes people happy today.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at the ashen face of Duke Xiangguo, and said sarcastically: "Mr. Xiangguo, who do you think this female layman is? Now the national teacher has opened his mouth. This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise the Buddha will be angered." But what should I do?"

Seeing that he used his own words to block him, the Duke of Xiangguo's face became more and more embarrassing, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "This palace is so big..."

"But who has served the Buddha for more than 40 years, who else is noble besides Lafayette?" Li Mu had already broken his face with the Queen Mother Du's family. out.

After the rest of the people were astonished, they laughed in a low voice.

Sensing the malicious gazes from the courtiers around him, Duke Xiang couldn't bear to reprimand him angrily.

"Li Mu, are you crazy? The empress dowager is the mother of the world. Not only is she the first emperor's concubine, she has merit in taking care of the young master, but she is also the biological mother of today's sage. Who dares to sacrifice the empress dowager? This is rebellion!"

The national teacher has always been used by their Du family, but they don't want to stab themselves with a sharpened sword, which will also be fatal!
Lord Chang stroked his beard in a strange way and laughed: "Mr. Xiangguo, have you forgotten about usurping the emperor? If you don't follow the Buddha's will, the Buddha will blame you and bring down natural disasters. Wouldn't it mean that all the people will suffer and the society will be destroyed?" disaster?"

"Exactly. Since the Queen Mother is the mother of a country, she should set an example and personally go to the stake to sacrifice to the genius!"

"Duke Xiangguo said before that disobedience to the state teacher would bring great disaster, do you still remember?"

"Since Lafayette is Lafayette, wouldn't it be a good thing to serve Buddha with all his heart..."

The low-pitched discussions among the ministers made Lafayette, who was at the top, look pale.

Who would have dared to talk about her, the dignified empress dowager, so unscrupulously and without respect in the past!
Especially after the palace change, when her prestige reached its peak, like the queen behind the scenes, who would dare to be so rude! ?
And now...

Qiu Yebai looked at the aggressive appearance of the courtiers, and also at the distressed and uneasy appearance of those who supported the Du family. She already had no idea what she was feeling.

Just now he was just amazed, but now there is nothing but astonishment.

The devil at the beginning of Baili had almost reached the point of perfect control over people's hearts.

With a few understatement words, he can control who laughs, who cries, who goes from hope to despair, and who goes from despair to ruthlessness on the stage of Tai Chi Hall.

Whether it was the courtiers or the Du family, they all seemed to be drawn by invisible threads.

The Duke of Xiangguo was forced to retreat steadily, and wanted to question the national teacher, but found that the national teacher had disappeared outside the gate of the palace, and there was no one there.

He had no choice but to immediately look at the burning lamp kneeling on the ground, his eyes flashed coldly: "The person mentioned by the national teacher, there is another person who is very suitable - the burning lamp!"

Of course, the ministers knew that Master Ran Deng barely met the conditions for those sacrifices, not to mention that Ran Deng was also from the Du family, but they seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person as Ran Deng, and only kept mentioning the Queen Mother.

But since the Duke of Xiangguo had already mentioned it, they naturally understood in their hearts that if the emperor didn't say anything, they wouldn't dare to really set up the queen mother to go to the fire sacrifice with their ten guts.

Some things are just lip service, the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother after all, and seeing the empress dowager, Xiang Guogong and other members of the Du family suffering, can be regarded as a solution to the resentment in their hearts.

Hearing Duke Xiang's words, there was a crack in Ran Deng's blank expression, but that 'crack' could only be called ferocious!

She looked at Duke Xiang, only to see him spitting and pointing out how she met the standards of sacrifice.

A moment later, a strange smile curled up on her lips, and she suddenly said: "The poor nun is willing to serve the Lord Buddha."

As soon as Ran Deng's words came out, everyone was startled, almost doubting their own ears.
