The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 253
The Putuo Holy Temple is the headquarters of the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions. It is said that it is the projection of Mount Putuo in the world, and it is a holy place in the minds of all monks and believers.

The holy temple is built on the mountain, and it is completely built by believers with stones. The thickest part of the wall is six meters, and the thinnest is three meters. From the outside, it is seven or eight points similar to the big house in Shangguan Qing's house. It is the first time Seeing the testimonials of the big house, it is not surprising to regard these two buildings as miniature versions of the holy temple.

Monk Fadu tidied up his monk's robes and seemed to be barging in. An old monk beside him hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Living Buddha. This generation is the residence of the royal family, princess, and princess of the Chu Kingdom, and trespassing is not allowed."

"It's Little Putuo over there." Fadu was about to argue when another person rushed over, and the leader was Asutai who had just met Shangguanqing.

"Your Highness." Fadu bowed to Asutai and told about the encounter with Shangguan Qing.

"Is it the replantation of a severed limb?!" Asutai was surprised and pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that the person who traveled through the channel was proficient in surgery. With this technique of replanting a severed limb, it was enough to win a The honorary title of Female Living Buddha can become his excellent support in the future.

Thinking of Shangguan Qing's beautiful face again, Asutai's heart inevitably became a little hot.

"Look at my monk's robe." Fadu showed the damage on the sleeve of the robe to Asutai, "I don't know what magic weapon she used, but two loud noises broke the poor monk's monk's robe."

Asudai looked at the blackened edge of the damage and said, "It's a musket."

"The musket can be so powerful?" Fadu didn't believe it.

Asutai traveled back with modern memories, and as a prince, he had already started to manufacture muskets and earthen cannons in China. Due to the limitations of ironmaking level and craftsman level, Asutai only produced the simplest tiger crouching cannon. It can use black powder to shoot iron sand and stones, which is very powerful against ordinary people, but it is difficult to deal with super powerhouses. Even if it is close to the front, it is difficult to complete a one-hit kill, and with the speed of super powerhouses, the tiger crouching The rate of fire can't hit at all, and the musket ignited with matchlock can't accurately aim at the target.But the short spear in Shangguan Qing's hand was extremely accurate. Could it be that she has already started to manufacture firearms for the state of Chu?

"Damn it! Why don't you have any sense of secrecy." A Sutai cursed secretly in his heart.These modern products should all belong to his inventions. Women are really unreliable, so they take them out casually.

"It should be a better musket. There are many craftsmen in Chu State. It's not surprising. Master, let's go back and discuss the long-term plan." Asutai wanted to pull Fadu away.

Fadu pointed to the big house in the yard ahead and said, "There are two small Putuo temples there."

"Master, don't worry, we'll come back after we find out the situation." Asutai tried to persuade Fadu to leave.

Shangguan Qing and Nian Ci, who returned home, did not tell others about their going out. They ate the shortbread and maltose water they bought together, and then Shangguan Qing came out of the retreat, announcing that the next week would take a bath and intensive training Now, the work of the Luantai Division and the Craftsman Division will be put aside. If His Majesty and the Ministry of Households are interested in that property, they will hand it over.

"Princess, who is this?" Zhu Qing and the others looked puzzled.

Shangguan Qing said without hesitation: "The imperial court has taken away the right to issue banknotes. Those elders who read sage books must not be able to control the urge to cut salt rolls indiscriminately. Rather than being pushed out and blamed for something, I might as well have Some retreated and stood on the dry shore to watch the excitement and see how they prospered."

Zhu Qing said: "My concubine's painstaking efforts for more than a year have just gone to waste."

"Some people don't feel bad, why should I feel bad as a housekeeper." Shangguan Qing was also helpless, Chu Huaitian no longer trusted her.

After finishing the details here, An Lu rushed in and said, "Princess, something is wrong. His Royal Highness the Sixteenth has reported the fraud case of the imperial city to His Majesty. The Emperor Longyan is furious."

"Why didn't you stop him?"

"I persuaded him, but he refused to listen to me, saying that he must impress His Majesty." An Lu was about to cry.For the time being, she couldn't figure out why Shangguan Qing wanted to stop Chu Qianping, but she knew that Shangguan Qing's decision would not be wrong.

"Since Your Majesty knows it, it's too late to stop it. I want to wait and see, maybe it won't be so bad."

Shangguan Qing looked at the crying An Lu and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, I asked you to stop His Highness the Sixteenth Highness because the emperor handed over this case to His Highness Fourth Highness and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He shouldn't have The second is that it involves the clan, and it is difficult to measure the heavy punishment and light punishment, and there are too many people who have been stabbed and offended."

An Lu came to her senses and said, "That's why Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment brought the account books to the Xingshang Study Room?"

"He should have shown it to me, because I am the only person in the court who wants to be a lonely minister the most. I can report these things to Your Majesty without fear. He doesn't think about it. I am now Qianhan's princess. For Qianhan I wouldn't do that either, Liu Jinjiang and Dewey are both dexterous people, and Wang Shangshu can't move, so it's God's will that it fell on His Highness the Sixteenth in the end."

What Shangguan Qing said so clearly is to let An Lu see clearly that things in the court are often not as simple as they seem, and she needs to be more careful and use her brain more.

An Lu asked bitterly, "What should His Highness the Sixteenth do?"

"He is His Majesty's son. He cannot be an emperor. It's not bad to be a lone minister. What we need to do now is to support His Majesty the Sixteenth with power."

Shangguan Qing knew in her heart that once she embarked on the path of a lone minister, she would have to walk to the end for the rest of her life. Once she turned around or made a mistake, the entire officialdom would be your enemy.

The emperor's trust is often the most unreliable.

At this time Chu Huaitian was extremely angry, he sent someone to call Chu Qiankang over, and the servant who delivered the order came back and said that Chu Qiankang was seriously ill and was being carried into the palace by the guards.

Chu Huaitian thought that Chu Qiankang was pretending to be sick, but when he saw the guards carrying the pale Chu Qiankang in, he checked his pulse himself before he believed that Chu Qiankang was really sick, and the pulse was frightened and worried. .

Considering the complexity of this case, it is not surprising that Chu Qiankang was suddenly ill.

Chu Huaitian comforted him a few words, asked Chu Qiankang to go back to rest, and handed over the task of investigating the fraud case of the Imperial City Division to Chu Qianping, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs Zhang Tan.

Chu Qianping was suddenly given great importance and took office with full confidence. No matter what kind of elders of the clan, as long as they were involved in the case, they were all cautious. For a while, people inside and outside the capital were panicked, and all the clan clansmen behaved with their tails tucked between their legs.

In just seven days, more than [-] members of the clan involved in the case were arrested, and every day, the wives asked to enter the palace to beg for mercy from the Queen Mother, from the opening of the palace gate to the lock of the palace gate.

The Empress Dowager couldn't bear it, and talked to Chu Huaitian, but instead of appeasing Chu Huaitian, the Emperor Longyan was furious, and hundreds of clansmen were sent out in one go.

The reputation of the sixteenth prince Chu Qianping Xian Wang spread like wildfire.
