Qiu Xianguang's request did not get Li Shenzhou's cooperation, he only said that when the time was right, he arranged for Shangguan Yunchong to go to the Sword Palace to explain, but he did not say when, Qiu Xianguang saw Li Shenzhou's perfunctory, and naturally returned disappointed.
Li Shenzhou's original intention was by no means perfunctory, as long as you think about Qiu Mubai's disappearance, you will find that there are too many things wrong in it.
Shangguan Tianhuo father and son since they defected to him, their whereabouts in Yongdu are secretive, except for him, few people know the whereabouts and contact information of their father and son, this time Qiu Mubai was exiled, all the contradictions point to Shangguan Yunchong, Qiu Xianguang wants to meet Shangguan Yunchong Although it is reasonable, but the reason for this cannot be ruled out that someone wants to use this method to force Shangguan Yunchong to appear.
The more this is the case, the more vigilant it is to avoid falling into the trap of others.
However, this also gave them a chance, and they could plan and arrange for Shangguan Tianhuo and his son to appear after the arrangements were made, so as to lure potential enemies to appear.
After Qiu Xianguang left, Li Shenzhou drove to the temple, today is the day of the new monarch Xue Daoming to worship his ancestors, Li Shenzhou arrived at the appointed time, but found that the temple was already empty, only to know after asking, Xue Daoming came early in the morning, the light car was simple, just a simple visit to the ancestors, the whole time in the temple did not exceed half an hour.
Xue Daoming's behavior is by no means low-key in Li Shenzhou's eyes, but a kind of evasion, which also contains antipathy and resistance to himself.
Although Xue Daoming is gone, the subsequent unfinished sacrificial rites will be dealt with by Sun Weiyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is directing the service of the Taimiao to complete the sacrificial ceremony.
Sun Weiyuan saw Li Shenzhou coming in person, and hurriedly put down other things to come over to meet.
Li Shenzhou said: "The emperor is in such a hurry" Sun Weiyuan smiled bitterly: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and everything is busy, not to mention that he has to prepare for the burial of the queen mother, so he left in a hurry after coming to worship his ancestors."
The rest of the matter has been handed over to Wechen. ” Li Shenzhou looked at the busy servants around him, and said with an indifferent smile: "Extraordinary times need to do extraordinary things, and the emperors must be able to understand the emperor's hardships." ” The snow was much thinner now, and it was like someone sprinkling salt particles from the air, but it was unusually soft, and it fell on the face numbly.
Sun Weiyuan said: "It's very cold outside in the metropolitan governor, so it's better to go in and get warm." ” Li Shenzhou shook his head and said, "I wanted to tell the emperor about some things, but I didn't expect the emperor to be gone." ” Sun Weiyuan said: "The emperor has just left, and if the governor rushes over, it should be too late." ” Li Shenzhou smiled indifferently: "How can the emperor's steps be able to catch up with those of us who are courtiers" Xue Daoming is just a puppet in his eyes, once he loses his use value, he will not hesitate to get rid of it.
Sun Weiyuan heard that there was something in his words, and he didn't dare to talk easily for fear of figuring out what Li Shenzhou meant.
Li Shenzhou said: "How are the funeral preparations of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager?"
Sun Weiyuan said: "The old man is trying to discuss this matter with the Metropolitan Governor, but the body of the Empress Dowager has not been found yet.
As for the queen mother, the emperor insisted on burying the queen mother and the emperor together, but when the former emperor died, it was set to be buried with the queen mother, so "he looked embarrassed, and his words were also very different.
Li Shenzhou had already understood.
In the past, when Xue Shengkang died, he was going to be buried with Empress Xiande, and he didn't mention the other concubines.
Concubine Dong Shufei was also posthumously honored by Xue Daoming as the queen mother after her death, and now it is against the will of the emperor to be buried with Xue Shengkang, so Sun Weiyuan does not dare to make decisions without permission.
Li Shenzhou secretly scolded Sun Weiyuan for being stupid, and said softly: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, whose courtier are you?"
You should know which emperor you serve."
Sun Weiyuan suddenly woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said with a happy face: "Thank you for your advice." ” Li Shenzhou secretly scolded in his heart, Sun Weiyuan has been an official for many years, how can he be so stupid, this old thing is simply pretending to be stupid with himself.
He didn't dare to take such a responsibility, so he asked for his opinion, and if something happened in the future, he could have a place to shirk, but on the other hand, this also showed that his status in Sun Weiyuan's heart had surpassed Xue Daoming.
Li Shenzhou said: "The Garden of Mercy is being excavated, I believe that the body of the Empress Dowager should be found, you should be prepared with both hands."
In fact, the body of the Empress Dowager Jiang has been found, but Li Shenzhou is not in a hurry to announce the news.
Sun Weiyuan nodded again and again.
Li Shenzhou finally talked about Xue Daohong, who even Sun Weiyuan did not dare to mention, this short-lived emperor is now burdened with a lot of sins, calamity to the country and the people, usurpation of the throne, coupled with disloyalty and filial piety, murder of relatives, any crime is enough to send him into the abyss of no return.
In fact, Xue Daohong's mausoleum has already been prepared, and now that this kind of thing happens, no one dares to decide how to bury him, Li Shenzhou asked Sun Weiyuan to prepare for Xue Daohong's funeral, but there is no need for a grand burial, and a statue is erected in front of Xue Daohong's mausoleum, facing the direction of Xue Shengkang's mausoleum and kneeling, although Xue Daohong is dead, but the sins he committed cannot be easily stopped, let him kneel and worship for a thousand years after his death, which can be regarded as a compensation for all his evil deeds.
In the Garden of Mercy and Grace, the body of the Empress Dowager was finally dug out of the collapsed tunnel, and it was found that after the death of the Empress Dowager's body, she was not covered with an inch, and a large piece of skin behind her was completely removed, and the flesh and blood were directly exposed, which was shocking.
Shi Kuan lifted the white cloth covering the corpse of the old empress dowager Jiang, and the back of the old empress dowager's body was facing up, and she could clearly see her current tragic condition.
Even Li Shenzhou, who was accustomed to violent scenes, couldn't help but be moved, knowing that the person who personally ripped off Empress Dowager Jiang's clothes and cut off the entire skin on her back was her own son, Xue Shengjing's cruelty and cold-bloodedness were really beyond ordinary people's expectations.
Shi Kuan said: "The whole skin behind the old queen mother has been removed, and most of the governors think it is the reason."
Li Shenzhou was carefully inspecting the rest of Empress Dowager Jiang's body, and was sure that her skin was intact in other places, hearing Shi Kuan's question, he frowned, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"
Shi Kuan said: "In my opinion, there are two possibilities, one is that Xue Shengjing hates the Empress Dowager, so he uses this method to vent the hatred in his heart, and the other reason is that there may be something very important left on the skin behind the Empress Dowager Jiang. ” Li Shenzhou said: "It should be a tattoo, you investigate, whether Empress Dowager Jiang had any experience of tattooing before her death, and if so, which tattoo artist made it for her" Shi Kuan said: "I have asked Gonggong Dong, and he doesn't know anything about this matter. ” Li Shenzhou narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but become a little confused in his heart, Dong Gonggong has been serving the Empress Dowager Jiang for nearly forty years, that is to say, he has never served the Empress Dowager Jiang to bathe in the past forty years, and naturally he has not seen the tattoo on her back, this kind of thing may only be known to the Emperor Taishang back then, why did Xue Shengjing know that Li Shenzhou can't help but be a little suspicious now, Xue Shengjing may have been aware of the danger he is facing, and the reason why he ventured to the Garden of Mercy and Grace is to take off the human skin on the Empress Dowager Jiang's body, What kind of secrets are hidden in this human skin?
Li Shenzhou pondered for a while and said: "Everything in the palace is often recorded, you go and carefully check the palace records of the past, the focus is to see if there is any experience of summoning tattoo artists into the palace in those years before the death of the emperor." ” Shi Kuan nodded and said, "What to do with the body of the Empress Dowager?"
Li Shenzhou glanced at Empress Dowager Jiang's gloomy face and said: "Since there are no secrets on her body, it is useless to keep them, and to publicly announce this matter to the public, by the way, no one should know what happened to her, and the eldest princess is no exception." ” Shi Kuan said respectfully: "Don't worry, the Governor of the Metropolitan will definitely do a good job in this matter." ” Xue Shengjing unfolded the human skin with both hands in the secret room, and his small eyes showed an excited light, the human skin had been embalmed, and it was not unusual on the surface, and there was not even a single character or pattern on it.
Xue Shengjing took out the Ice Spirit Concentration Bead and leaned on the human skin, but saw that the light blue handwriting was revealed on the human skin, Xue Shengjing could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and muttered: "You have always had such a big secret in your heart, no wonder you are so kind to me, you have never treated me as your son in your heart."
It was impossible for the human skin to speak, and it looked more and more pale under the light of the Concentration Pearl, Xue Shengjing gently stroked the human skin, and said in a low voice: "You are so eccentric, you will not fulfill me until you die" Shangguan Tianhuo father and son began to show up, An Zhai got a lot of news about him, and fed back to Hu Xiaotian as soon as possible, for the beggar gang, the main task of coming to Yongdu this time is to get rid of Shangguan Tianhuo father and son, and promote the return of Jiangbei to the beggar gang.
An Zhai said excitedly: "Young Master Hu, at present, we have preliminarily grasped the movements of Shangguan Tianhuo and his son, and we can eradicate them at any time. ” Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "It's not the time yet, we just arrested Qiu Mubai, Qiu Xianguang will inevitably turn to Li Shenzhou for help, Shangguan Tianhuo father and son are coming out now, it is likely to be a trap, Li Shenzhou wants to plan and use them to lead us to action, if we make a move now, we will be fooled." ” An Zhai was a little puzzled: "It was not easy to force their father and son to show up, should we just let go of this opportunity in vain?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, this is Dayong, we must not act rashly if we are not sure enough, they want to use Shangguan Tianhuo father and son to lure us to make a move, but we want to do the opposite." ” An Zhai said: "What do you mean?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Break them one by one, focus on the attack" Excessive exercise, severe shoulder pain, insisting on a chapter, it's not easy, I don't want to be an eleven lang, and I ask for monthly ticket support to be continued
