Chapter 104
Wang Muhan also knew that he was not the time to come in, so he carefully bowed and handed the note up. Chu Shaoling took it and opened it and looked at it and smiled, "It's fast for Lord Zuo to handle the case..."
In the afternoon, I just scared them a few words. It was only a few hours before everyone was detained.
The guards inside packed up their clothes and came out. Wang Muhan bowed, "Hello, Lord Wei."
Wei Ji nodded, "Hello, father-in-law, the emperor...but it's found out,"
Chu Shaoling nodded and handed the letter to Wei Ji. Wei Ji looked carefully. He originally thought that someone who dared to cause such a big deal must have some big force behind it, otherwise it would be the Zhen family or Chu Shaoyang's old subordinates. Unexpectedly, it was just a Taoist priest in Wanshan Town.
The Taoist priest's surname is Chen Wanshan. It is said that this person is "Chen Shenxian". He used to be divined in the south, but later he offended the local people. He was unable to survive. At that time, Chu Shaoling's army returned to the imperial city with his triumphant return to the imperial city. Chen Wanshan followed the army of the Western Expedition all the way north. He was originally on the edge of the imperial city to divine people and show the feng shui of the house. He went to Wanshan Town a month ago to do rituals for a haunted house. Somehow he lived in Wanshan Town, claiming that he was a god who came to save all living beings in troubled times.
Chen Wanshan and his disciples pretended to be a god and were fooling the people in Wanshan Town. In addition, there were always major funerals in the imperial city these days, and Chen Wanshan even played a role in telling the people that the new emperor was an immortal who came to the earth to experience tribulation. The new emperor was tyrannical and was incompatible with him when he was in the heaven. Now he saw him coming to harm the people and came to the mortal world, just to save all sentient beings and avoid being poisoned by Chu Shaoling.
Chen Wanshan said it was not enough, and his apprentice secretly taught the children in Wanshan Town to sing songs. This caused panic for a while. Many people believed his words and really offered Chen Wanshan as a god. They kept offering sacrifices every day. In less than a month, Chen Wanshan accepted hundreds of apprentices, and had already formed a climate.
Wei Ji was amazed: "This is a sinking mountain... nothing else can do, but it's a good player to build momentum."
Chu Shaoling thoughtfully and said lightly: "The people are pure and kind, and they don't have so many twists and turns in their hearts. They just want to have enough food. It is the easiest to encourage them, not to mention that they are based on some storm. People are more respectful of ghosts and gods, and it is easiest to use this to build momentum."
Wei Ji looked at the Zhezi: "He said... the emperor is an immortal who has descended to earth to experience tribulation?"
Chu Shaoling smiled and said, "Do you believe it?"
Wei Ji nodded seriously: "The emperor is a god, and other things are nonsense, this is true."
Wei Ji looked at the clue carefully and whispered: "Now Chen Wanshan and his disciples are locked up, how are the emperor preparing?"
Chu Shaoling sneered: "Didn't you say that the leader will kill nine clans, and the rest will kill three clans. After the Ministry of Justice investigates and closes the case, the nine clans of Shen Wanshan will be killed and their disciples will be killed."
Wei Ji thought of what Mr. Zi said to him in the daytime, and hesitated and whispered: "The emperor just said that the people are pure and kind, but they are confused by this demonic path. Most of the disciples he took were the people of Wanshan Town, and their family members were ordinary people, and they really killed the three clans..."
Chu Shaoling smiled faintly: "I am kind to not killing their nine clans. Will Duke Wei come to plead with me for these irrelevant people?"
Chu Shaoling did not dismiss the palace servants in the inner room. Wang Muhan and a dozen palace servants were worried when they heard Chu Shaoling's words. Wang Muhan followed Chu Shaoling for the longest time. He heard that Chu Shaoling was already angry. He was afraid that Wei Ji would be implicated. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wei is the most kind person. It's just that. Lord Wei is still young, so how can he know a lot?"
Wei Ji had already figured out Chu Shaoling's temper, and was not very scared. He bowed and said, "I don't dare. I just think that Chen Wanshan's crime is unforgivable. It is too lenient to kill his nine clans. It is better to... kill his ten clans, and behead him with his disciples."
Chu Shaoling understood the meaning of Wei Ji and couldn't help but laugh softly: "Then where are the three clans of his apprentices?"
Seeing that Chu Shaoling was relieved, Wei Ji felt relieved and smiled and said, "The emperor has been kind and destined to kill the ten clans of Shen Wanshan. Those irrelevant people... that's fine?"
Chu Shaoling laughed: "Forget it, I'll listen to you."
Wang Muhan finally put his heart in his stomach, and he couldn't help but admire the Wei Ji. When Chu Shaoling put down his face, he dared to continue to advise. Wang Muhan brought in the ink and Chu Shaoling gave a few words in the memorial. Wang Muhan took the palace servant back. Chu Shaoling held the Wei Ji and kissed him lightly and asked: "I used to pretend to be angry and could scare you, but now I'm not afraid anymore. Is he growing up so he's brave?"
Wei Ji pursed his lips: "Even if the emperor is really angry, he will not do anything to me, let alone just scare me? I am so arrogant because of my favor."
Chu Shaoling smiled: "I am more and more good at coaxing me. It's okay, I like you to be arrogant..." Chu Shaoling said softly in Wei Ji's ears. Wei Ji's ears turned red in an instant. Chu Shaoling smiled and pulled Wei Ji and turned the screen...
Chen Wanshan's case was settled a few days later. Seeing that Chu Shaoling didn't want to kill more, he came back to his senses, he bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, will you no longer punish Chen Wanshan's apprentice?"
Chu Shaoling nodded and said lightly: "Wei Aiqing advised me for a long time. Most of the people in their families are ordinary people, and it is pitiful to be implicated in innocent people. I can't bear it, so let it go."
When the Minister of Justice heard this, he couldn't help looking at the Wei Ji. The Wei Ji still looked calm in front of the people. The Minister of Justice nodded: "The Lord is benevolent."
Chu Shaoling turned his head and glanced at Wei Ji, and smiled: "This matter is just a demon who makes trouble by using the gods. It's just for money. It's not a big deal. But I don't want such a demon to appear again in the future. He can gather people to make money with some name. Wouldn't he also use some name to rebel?"
Mr. Zi nodded: "That is, officials from all over the country should pay more attention in the future. Never let these people take advantage of loopholes. Such things cannot happen again."
After the morning court, Chu Shaoling sent the Guards to the army to send a memorial to the War Zhan, and he stayed in Chengqian Palace to secretly summon people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison to discuss matters.
The envoy of the Imperial Heavenly Prison has not been fortunate to see Tianyan since Chu Shaoling ascended the throne. Now he heard the summons and came quickly. After kowtowing, he could not see any movement in Chu Shaoling. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but look up. He saw Chu Shaoling looking at him, and quickly lowered his head.
The hall was very quiet. Chu Shaoling casually fiddled with a string of Buddhist beads and said slowly: "The weather has been bad since the beginning of spring. When will the weather be warm this year?"
The envoy kowtowed and said, "Returning to the emperor, the year is not good. I have already calculated that it will take February to get better."
"Oh... it's not a few days." Chu Shaoling slowly counted the Buddhist beads and asked after a while, "A few days ago, you know what happened to Shen Wanshan in the imperial city was so popular?"
The monk paused and nodded: "I have heard of it a little."
Chu Shaoling smiled: "Speaking of this Shen Wanshan is similar to yours. You just count the world with your fingers, and you can easily see others' past and present lives. It's really interesting."
As soon as the messenger heard this, he was sweating on his forehead and quickly confessed: "Your Majesty! I have never discussed the government affairs! The responsibilities of the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau are all hereditary. I have learned to see the celestial phenomena and stars since I was a child. I have not understood anything else. The ministers who have just said have just been."
"How can you say that to yourself?" Chu Shaoling looked at Zhengzhang with a smile and said lightly, "How can you only know those things? You can do it too."
The messenger shook his head quickly: "Then Chen Wanshan is talking nonsense. Since ancient times, I have only heard of the matter of sacrificing people's fate in the book. Where is this true?"
Chu Shaoling put the Buddhist beads in his hand and smiled, "Have you forgotten? Then I would like to remind you... Do you still remember that you had a life-threatening death for someone in the spring of the 14th year of the Apocalypse."
Just as I was thinking hard, I didn’t know what Chu Shaoling was talking about, the spring of the 14th year of the Apocalypse?
Chu Shaoling kindly reminded: "It was the year when Zhen Taipin entered the palace."
As soon as this said, it made a body sweat suddenly burst into cold sweat. Beads of sweat fell from their heads. Chu Shaoling said coldly: "It seems that I remembered it."
The past was recovering, and it was causing cold sweat. In the spring of the 14th year of the Tianqi period, Zhen Taipin, of course, remembered that he took Chu Shaoruan's silver that year. When the empress dowager asked about Zhen Si's horoscope, he said that Zhen Si's fate was flying high, which was a very noble fate. Because of his words, Zhen Si, who was originally going to marry Chu Shaoling, was taken into the harem by the emperor.
Then Chu Shaoruan looked him out and asked him why he was talking nonsense. At that time, he realized that the letter Chu Shaoruan gave him was dropped. Chu Shaoruan originally said that Zhen Si had the appearance of being a good man and a strong husband. By chance, the letter he came to his hand said that Zhen Si was the mother of the world, and he never understood what was wrong.
Chu Shaoling sneered: "I haven't known yet, right? That letter was replaced by me."
Just as I instantly understood everything.
In the 14th year of the Apocalypse, it was the time when Chu Shaoling fought with the Zhen family the most powerful battle. At that time, he was just Chu Shaoruan who used a chess piece. After the incident, Zheng Envoy was worried that Chu Shaoling would cause trouble for him in the future. However, after a long time, Chu Shaoling ignored it. Zheng Envoy thought that his little fish had been missed by Chu Shaoling, but who thought that he would be suddenly brought up today!
Just as I felt that I was being stared at by a poisonous snake, my heart in my chest was tightly held by a pair of cold hands, I looked at Chu Shaoling in horror and didn't know what to say, begging for mercy? Explain? So many years have passed, why did Chu Shaoling turn it out again?!
Just as he couldn't help but kowtow, "Sir, please spare your life" in his mouth, Chu Shaoling said lightly: "I haven't caused you any trouble. It's because you still have usefulness that you have saved your life. Whether you want this life or not depends on you."
The messenger agreed: "As long as you can do your best to be the Lord, the criminals will never dare to refuse, and they will never dare to refuse."
Chu Shaoling smiled: "It's not something that makes things difficult for you. I just want to say a few words through your mouth."
Just as he nodded, Chu Shaoling gave the matter to him and said lightly: "This is not difficult compared to when you dared to help Chu Shaoruan plot against me, right?"
Just as the messenger kowtowed quickly, he agreed repeatedly, Chu Shaoling put down his face and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. If you have to do something wrong with my thoughts, I will directly defeat you. I will just pretend to be cleaning up the old subordinates of Zhen. Do you understand?"
Just as the mission was very proud, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the sinners must atone for their merits and atone for their sins, thanking the priest for not killing them."
Chu Shaoling waved his hand: "Go."
Just as I knelt down, I left in cold sweat.
Chu Shaoling took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist and played with it. The matter of Shen Wanshan reminded him that people always respect these illusory things. It is better to be more intimidating than to constantly make the Guards make achievements and win the hearts of people. Thinking back to the time when Wu Zetian ascended the throne as a woman, didn’t he claim to be the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha to create momentum? It can be seen how useful these strange powers and chaotic talks are.
Chu Shaoling chuckled in his heart, and he would do everything he could to the future.
The outside informed that the Wei Ji had returned. When Wei Ji heard that Chu Shaoling came to pay his respects in the side hall, he asked, "What are the emperor doing here?"
"I have nothing to do and come and see..." Chu Shaoling handed the string of Buddhist beads to the Guji. "This morning, when I went to Ci'an Hall to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, I gave it to you, and I gave it to you for fun."
Wei Ji's thoughts were taken away by the Buddhist beads. He looked down at the red beads and nodded: "Thank you... Thank you for the reward of the emperor."
"You guys... will express your gratitude verbally." Chu Shaoling chuckled, "How much grace I have received, I can only say this. Is that okay?"
Wei Ji lowered his eyes and his face turned slightly red. Chu Shaoling smiled. He didn't understand what he was doing. He knew that he was ashamed, and the more he liked to bully him, Chu Shaoling rubbed Wei Ji's head and said deliberately: "You blush when I say anything? Well? Duke Wei, where are you thinking?"
Wei Ji shook his head and stopped talking. Chu Shaoling smiled and said, "Okay, it's still early. Come with me for a meal. I'll have the Jiujiu Duck Palm you like at noon today."
