Suddenly hearing these four words, Cheng Dexuan's face froze, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Prime Minister, the technique of disgust with victory in your mouth is the strange thing that happened in the Nine Years Palace of Kaibao?"
” Zhao Zeping stood for a long time, his legs and feet were a little sore, he took Shen Qing's hand and sat down on a big stone, scratched his nose, shook his head and said, "This disgusting technique is a kind of witchcraft of ancient alchemists, which means that they are disgusted and victorious, and use spells to curse to achieve the purpose of defeating the people they hate." ” "During the period of Tang Gaozong, Queen Wang was blamed by Gaozong for the violent death of Wu Cao's daughter, and then gave up due to insufficient evidence, but Queen Wang was nervous, so she conspired with Xiao Shufei Taoist priests, and tried to put Wu Cao to death with the art of disgust and victory, and was later told by Gaozong that he was furious and was beaten into the cold palace.
Later, with the support of Li Tao and other important ministers of the imperial court, Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty finally issued an edict: on the charge of 'conspiracy to poison, assassinate the palace people with the technique of disgust with victory, and lose the dignity of the mother and mother of the country', the queen and Concubine Xiao Shu were abolished as concubines and imprisoned, and their parents and brothers were also removed from office and exiled to Lingnan.
Soon Wang Xiao and the others were brutally killed by the Empress Wu. ” Cheng Dexuan nodded and said, "This matter is recorded in the history books, and the lower officials have also heard about it. ” Zhao Zeping smiled slightly, "Then do you know how they used this aversion to victory?"
” "It is said that he made a wooden man and pierced the acupuncture points of his limbs with copper needles."
Zhao Zeping raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Dexuan, "Master Cheng is well-read and knowledgeable, and he even knows about the wooden people.
What the adults said is right, if you want to perform the art of disgust and victory, you need to borrow things, such as carved peach versions, peach people, jade gossip cards, jade beast cards, swords, door gods, and so on. ” "Of course, the most common is the disgusting money, which is an auspicious or evil spirit in the shape of a coin.
From the praise of auspicious birthday money, washing money, and account money, to the money for destroying soldiers, spelling money, and eight treasure money; From men's money, women's money, and secret play money to playful and entertaining chess, horses, and lantern riddles. ” "The front of this kind of money is cast with words such as 'Long live the thousand autumns', 'The world is peaceful', 'In and out of Daji', 'Yishu IKEA' and other words, and on the back there are star buckets, double fishes, turtles and snakes, dragons and phoenixes patterns for wearing and playing."
Cheng Dexuan pondered for a long time, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Zhao Zeping with blazing eyes, "Back then, a copper coin was found under the thousand-year-old acacia in Yanfu Palace, and it is said that on the back of the coin, there was a villain dressed in filial piety."
Zhao Zeping waved his hand, "This matter has been many years ago, let's not mention it for the time being, now we want to talk about Lord Cheng's family affairs, this disgusting technique can confuse people's minds, let people see illusions that ordinary people can't see, and then achieve the goal of dividing people's hearts, if you don't stop it as soon as possible, maybe it will also cause the consequences of family ruin, Lord Cheng can't help but pay attention to it." ” Cheng Dexuan was taken aback, "What the Prime Minister means is that what I have seen and heard in the past few days is all illusions, not reality, could it be that I wronged Ziqian?"
Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Zeping with round eyes, "My lord, you just said that you need to borrow something to perform the art of disgust and victory, so in this way, there must be something hidden in the Xiaguan's house, as long as you find it, then this evil art can be solved." ” Zhao Zeping nodded and smiled, and patted his hand lightly on Cheng Dexuan's shoulder, "So Lord Cheng, don't go to any Daxiangguo Temple, it's useless, back then, Master Shi Hai made a special trip to the palace to chant and pray, but in the end, those things became even more rampant."
You, hurry home, find out the disgusting thing, and all will be well. ” Hearing this, Cheng Dexuan hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Zhao Zeping, "Thank you for your reminder, if you hadn't met your adult today, Xia Guan would still be kept in the dark by that thing."
The matter is urgent, so the next official will leave first. ” After speaking, he hurriedly walked down the mountain road, took two steps, looked back at Zhao Zeping, and hissed in his mouth, "Prime Minister, but who put this disgusting thing in my house?"
Xia Guan remembered that the coins in the palace were not found out by who was buried under the tree in the end, could it be that they had wings and flew over?
” Zhao Zeping helped Shen Qing to stand up, and a layer of light suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes, "Of course they don't have wings, as for who has evil thoughts about Lord Cheng, it's up to the adults themselves to investigate." ” Cheng Dexuan was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes a few times, turned around again, and walked down the mountain thoughtfully, but this time, his pace was much slower, and every step seemed to be full of entanglements.
Seeing that Cheng Dexuan had walked away, Shen Qing helped Zhao Zeping dust off his body, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, I just heard you talk about the strange thing that happened in the Kaibao Nine Year Palace, and also talked about a coin, I am curious, I don't know what the cause and effect of this matter is?"
” Zhao Zeping smiled faintly, but there was a bit of sadness in his eyes, Shen Qing hurriedly said, "My lord, it's me who is not good, I mentioned the sad matter of the adult, if the adult doesn't want to answer, then don't say it, let's go down the mountain now." ” Zhao Zeping shook his head, "Shen Qing, do you think that if something strange really happened in the palace, who would do it?"
” Shen Qing raised his head and thought for a while, then replied, "I don't know who did it, but the disciple always thinks that if such a strange thing really happens, with Lord Lin's ability, can he still crack it?"
Unless" he stopped talking, looked at Zhao Zeping, and showed a meaningful smile.
"Unless what?"
"Unless he doesn't want to take care of it, or maybe he's the one who started this strange thing at all."
After that, seeing that Zhao Zeping didn't refute, he knew that he had guessed correctly, so he raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively, "My lord, who found that coin in the end?"
” Zhao Zeping looked at the foggy top of the mountain, the first rays of sunlight in the early morning were falling from the sky, penetrating layers of white fog and sprinkling on the golden roof of Daxiangguo Temple.
He stared at the beam of light and slowly told Shen Qing the story that had not yet been told.
After Empress Song recovered from her injuries, Zhao Lang led the crowd to Luoyang to inspect and prepare for the relocation of the capital.
Of course, the first thing he did when he arrived in Luoyang was to go to the suburban temple to worship the sky.
On that day, there were still dark clouds and the wind was howling, but when the incense was lit, the sky changed suddenly.
Gradually, the clouds dissipated, and when the wind stopped, the sky became bluer and bluer.
The sky is clear, the clouds are not stained, the distant mountains contain daisies, and the wind warms.
