Duobao Taoist

Chapter 66

Daoist Duobao was sitting with Su Jin in the back garden drinking tea and discussing the Tao, but he saw the six-eared macaque Yuan Ming standing in the distance and winking at him, knowing that he had something to look for, so he apologized to Su Jin immediately He smiled, got up and walked out of the back garden.Su Jin nodded slightly to show her understanding.

After going out, he came to the six-eared macaque. The six-eared macaque came forward and said: "Master told the disciples, Gao Ming and Gao Jue to monitor the dynamics of Yin and Shang. A few days ago, they discovered that the grand master Wen Zhong was tied up in the prison. Beihai, my disciple came here to report."

Daoist Duobao frowned when he heard the words, and asked, "With Wen Zhong's talent, how could he be imprisoned by Yuan Futong in Beihai? Could there be something hidden in it? Did you discover anything, or something unusual?"

The six-eared macaque heard the words and said: "That's true. The disciples and others found out that Yuan Futong seems to be supported by monks. It's just that those monks usually live in secluded places, and they never took action directly. The disciples have not yet known that they are following."

Taoist Duobao nodded, and said, "That's the case, go back and continue to monitor. Now that the catastrophe is about to start, don't retreat anymore." Yuan Ming nodded and retreated after hearing this. I am afraid that the only ones who still have the energy to intervene in the affairs of the world are the Western Sects.The Taishang Laojun only has one disciple, Master Xuandu. No matter who wins in the catastrophe in the future, he will not be able to threaten him, the leader of the human religion. Now he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. Yuanshi Tianzun will support Xiqi in the future, so there must be no side effects , Most of the matters of intercepting the teaching are handled by themselves. The Nuwa Empress does not establish a great teaching, and she has few disciples. Although she can move those wild monsters, she can't hide from the catastrophe, so how can she easily get involved.Only the Western religion, and only if the internal strife in the Eastern Taoist sect is fierce enough, will it be more conducive to the prosperity of the Western religion.

Taoist Duobao secretly sneered when he thought of this, and said in his heart: Your Western religion is really good at calculating. On the one hand, you borrowed the hands of Empress Nuwa to cholera the Yin and Shang dynasties and provoke a catastrophe; Dongfang, hum, although the two sages taught by the West are fully capable of protecting a few disciples, but you are only a few people, and now you have meddled yourself into the catastrophe. Tell you to look good.

Not long after that Yun Zhongzi left the palace of Yin and Shang, he sensed that the giant sword he had made had been burned, and he sighed secretly. He didn't want to see the swords and soldiers in the world rise again in the future, and the people of the people suffer, but now it seems that it is Due to the number of days, it is not something ordinary people can stop.But since I met him, I can only do my best and obey the destiny.So it was convenient to leave 24 characters on the wall of the Tiantai Grand Master Du Yuanxian that night, and floated away.

The next day when Grand Master Du Yuanmian returned to court, he saw crowds of people watching at the gate of the mansion. He didn't know why, so he sent people to look at it, only to find out that someone had left a poem on the wall. What the Taoist left behind was washed immediately.He watched the astrology every day, and he also noticed that there was a monster in the palace recently, but the monster disappeared in a flash. Although he was proficient in astrology, he didn't have the slightest magic power. Submit it the next day.

Since King Zhou is now ignoring the government, the ministers of the court and the central government took turns to approve the memorials. The grand master Du Yuanxian came to the study room the next day and saw that the Prime Minister Shang Rong was on duty. He was very happy at the moment. Submitted it, and informed Shang Rong of his findings.Shang Rong also looked solemn when he heard the words, and immediately took his grand master Du Yuanxiao to the inner court to meet him.The two passed through Longde Hall, Xianqing Hall, Jiashan Hall, and then passed the palace tower.When he came to the Shouxian Palace, he was blocked by the imperial officer.The Fengyu officer didn't want to inform the two of them, but they couldn't help them so they had to go to report.Although King Zhou didn't like to see Shang Rong very much, he also knew that Yin Shang could not do without him now, so he could only see the two of them.

That Shang Rong and Du Yuanxiao entered the Shouxian Palace, and Du Yuanxiao presented the memorial.After the King Zhou took it over and looked at it, he nodded secretly in his heart, but he was not happy when he saw that Yun Zhongzi presented the sword to eliminate demons again, so he asked Na Daji how to deal with it.I thought that King Zhou was so stupid that he wanted to discuss matters in the court with Na Daji.Daji had lingering fears about the matter of Yun Zhongzi, fearing that he would sneak into the palace late at night and end her life. Now that she heard this, she was furious.So he accused King Zhou of Du Yuanxiao of having a nest with Yun Zhongzi, a snake and a mouse, and said that the person who deceived the public by such evil words should be executed.At this time, King Zhou was obedient to this Daji, obeying his words, without thinking about it at the moment, so he passed down his own decree, saying: "Show Du Yuanxiao the head to the public, so as to stop evil words!"

At this time, Shang Rong and Du Yuanmian were waiting for King Zhou's reply, but they saw a pair of wolf-like soldiers coming to take Du Yuanmian down.Shang Rong just wanted to go forward to persuade him, but was also driven out of the palace by King Zhou.But it was said that Du Yuanxian was escorted out of the Meridian Gate by a group of soldiers. He saw a doctor in a big red robe coming towards him. It was Mei Boye.When Mei Bo saw this, he was about to go forward to inquire, but he saw Prime Minister Shang Rong walking out of the palace with a displeased expression on his face, and immediately stepped forward and asked: "May I ask, Prime Minister Du, what crime did Grand Master Du commit against you, and he was even convicted?" Shang Rong He went forward and told the cause and effect of this matter, how he and Grand Master Du entered the palace to persuade King Zhou, how King Zhou treated this matter, how Empress Su said, and finally King Zhou's decision.Na Meibo was originally a straightforward person, now that King Zhou not only treats state affairs as a trifle, but asks a woman, and now executes the ministers of the court for no reason, he is so angry that the three corpses jump violently, seven orifices Endogenous smoke.Immediately stopped the soldiers on both sides, and went to the palace with Shang Rong to face the saint.

This Mei Bo was originally upright, but now he was angry again, how could he persuade him well, entered the Shouxian Palace, saw King Zhou, and sternly said: "I heard that King Yao ruled the world, obeying heaven and obeying people; Listen to the words of the civil servants, follow the advice of the generals, one day at a time, talk about the way of peace and governance of the people; go to slander, and enjoy peace together. Now Your Majesty will not be in court for half a year, and he is happy in the deep palace, drinking and banqueting at court, and having fun every night You, ignore government affairs, and do not allow remonstrance. Du Yuanxian is a loyal man who governs the world. If your majesty beheads Yuanxian and abolishes the minister of the former king, and listens to the words of the concubine Yan, it will hurt the beams of the country. I hope the lord pardon Du Yuanxian's last life, so that Civil and military worship the great virtue of the sage.”

King Zhou was furious when he heard the words, and shouted: "Meibo and Du Yuanxian made friends and broke into the inner court privately, regardless of inside and outside. He should have been beheaded together with Du Yuanxiao. He thought that he had worked half his life for state affairs, so that he would be spared the death penalty. He will be cut from the position of a doctor, and there will never be order." use!"

When Mei Bo heard the words, he cursed sharply: "The faint king listened to Daji's words, and lost the righteousness of a monarch and his ministers. If you kill Du Yuanxian today, you are not beheading Du Yuanxiao alone, but you are actually beheading all the people of Chaoge Song! What a shame to resign from Mei Bo's post now! It’s just that I can’t bear to lose hundreds of years of foundation in the hands of the fool! Today, I heard that the grand master went to the north, and there was no rule in the court, and everything was confused. The fool listened to the slanderous ministers, deceived people from left to right, and lived with Daji in the deep palace day and night, seeing the world with his eyes The chaos caused me to have no face to meet the late emperor under Huang Quan!"

King Zhou was furious, and just about to let the warriors step forward to take him down and kill him, he heard Daji next to him say: "Your Majesty, let this man die like this, wouldn't it be easy for him, and my concubine knows a way to make him die." It can't survive, it can't die, and it can also be used to frighten Xiao Xiao."

King Zhou heard the words and said: "Oh, there is such a method, and the beauty will come quickly."

Daji said: "You can make a red copper thing about two feet high and eight feet in circle. There are three fire doors on the top, middle and bottom, like a copper pillar, and the inside is burned red with charcoal fire. To confuse these demons and insult the king with their mouths. , Disrespecting the law, giving remonstrance without anything, and all kinds of lawbreakers, take off their clothes, tie them to copper pillars with iron chains, and burn their limbs, muscles and bones. In just a moment, their bones will disappear and they will be reduced to ashes. The name of the punishment is 'Pao Lao'" Namei Bo heard from below, and sternly scolded Daji for being vicious.

But King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "This method is very wonderful. The beauty is really smart." At that moment, he ordered someone to deliver a decree to behead Du Yuanxian to show the public, and took Mei Bo into custody, waiting for the torture of cannonball to be completed.The prime minister, Shang Rong, saw that the king of Zhou was so mediocre, he was disheartened for a moment, and immediately knelt down on the ground, resigned and retired.That King Zhou had long disliked him and was in the way all day long. When he heard that he had resigned, he immediately agreed to play.

Not long after, all the officials knew that the Prime Minister Shang Rongzhi had returned in honor, and they came to see him off one after another.Huang Feihu, Bigan, Weizi, Jizi, Weiziqi, Weiziyan and other officials all bid farewell to each other in the ten-li long pavilion.All the officials left with wine and tears. After the farewell, Shang Rong got on his horse and left, and everyone turned to chant.

After three days like this, the cannon was finished, King Zhou came to court, the bells and drums rang, and all civil and military officials came to the court hall.Everyone saw that twenty large copper pillars were newly installed in the east of the hall, but they didn't know what they were used for.At this moment, King Zhou ordered people to bring Na Mei Bo to the hall. When Na Mei Bo saw the yellow-orange copper pillars standing beside the hall, he was terrified.Turning around and yelling at King Zhou, he said, "Foolish King! Uncle Mei's death is not a pity. It's just that I am a senior official and an old minister of three dynasties. What crime do I have to suffer this torture today? It's just that the world is so pitiful, and now I'm going to lose it to you." This is the hand of a fool! I don’t know how you will have the face to meet your ancestors in the future.”

King Zhou was furious when he heard the words, and made people take off Mei Bo's clothes, tied his hands and feet with chains, and dragged him to the copper pillar. In a short time, Mei Bo was burned to the bone in the nine halls , smelly.That Meibo screamed in pain, and everyone who heard it shed tears. After a while, he screamed and died. Even the corpse was turned into ashes after a while.A poor generation of loyal ministers spent their entire lives working for the great cause of Yin and Shang, but ended up in a tragic end with no bones left.

Hundreds of officials in the court were very disappointed with King Zhou's actions, and because of his lustful power, they dared not say much. After retreating from the court, they retreated one after another.It's just that this incident angered another person in the palace. This person is the original consort of King Zhou, Empress Jiang, the head of the harem.After hearing this, she said angrily: "Daji, this bitch, tortured Mei Bo, bewitched Sheng Cong, seduced Renjun, and acted recklessly. Today, this palace will teach this bitch a lesson on behalf of His Majesty." People are preparing to drive to the Shouxian Palace.
