Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

"Your Majesty, look, she refuses to die!
She even wanted to harm my body, my son, and even my parents' family. In this way, I would have no guilt if I harmed her and her son.

After all, it's fair to repay what's owed. "

Looking at herself who had been carried onto the pile of peach wood, and the three captured Prince Teng, Bai Sheng was not worried at all. She could even be said to be in a very happy mood. She turned her head to look at the ghost of Emperor Ming Xuan beside her and said with a smile.

"you do this delibrately?"

Emperor Ming Xuan, who was originally a little worried, looked at Bai Sheng in surprise and screamed when he heard Bai Sheng's words.

Obviously found it a little unbelievable.

Then, he couldn't accept it and yelled:

"What on earth are you going to do? Are you going to use the destruction of your body, or even sacrifice Prince Teng and the others, to increase your resentment and make you even more powerful?

So that we can attack them and take their lives?
Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs, so how can you…”

Obviously, Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty misunderstood. He thought that Bai Sheng did not kill Empress Zhang directly because he could not kill Empress Zhang and his grievance was not strong enough. When her three sons were also killed by Empress Zhang, maybe her grievance would be strong enough. That's right, he thought that Bai Sheng wanted to take advantage of the death of his three sons to make himself more powerful.

Bai Sheng just glared at him speechlessly:
"I am dead, not crazy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Zhang held the relic sent from the White Horse Temple in her hand, pointed at the pile of wood in front of her and gave the order:
"Pour kerosene on this palace and burn it!"

"If the ghost of Concubine Xiang dares to appear and cause trouble again, I will kill Prince Teng immediately. Concubine Xiang, listen to me carefully. Either you accept the result of your body being crushed to dust, or you watch your three sons die because of you!

What are you all standing there for? Why don't you take action? "

As soon as the voice fell, the eunuchs beside them hurriedly poured kerosene on the pile of peach wood, and at the same time, the three brothers of Prince Teng shouted angrily and sadly, "No." Nowadays, only Buddhists have the custom of cremation, and other people still pay attention to burying their mother in peace. It is natural that the three brothers find it difficult to accept that their mother is about to be crushed to ashes.

The look he gave Empress Zhang was full of hatred.

Empress Zhang obviously realized that the three brothers of Prince Teng would become a disaster in the future, so she never thought of letting them go. She planned to wait until she was sure that Concubine Xiang's body and her ghost were destroyed together.

The three brothers were immediately killed.

After a while, the kerosene had soaked all the peach wood. A eunuch nearby hurriedly took out the fire starter he had prepared long ago and threw it onto the pile of peach wood.

At the same time, Prince Teng let out a cry of grief.

The raging flames rose up along with the wailing.

Empress Zhang and the Crown Prince had smiles on their faces, because they felt that things should be settled. There was no need for any professional knowledge, as they firmly believed that the corpse must be very important to the ghost. As long as Concubine Xiang's corpse was burned, her ghost would be severely damaged even if it did not turn to ashes in an instant.

Now the fire is burning.

She still did not do anything to stop it.

It was obvious that they had used Prince Teng and other three biological sons of Concubine Xiang as threats and had controlled Concubine Xiang.

She dared not resist.

Once Concubine Xiang suffers a serious injury, those monks and Taoists will probably be her opponents and be able to completely destroy her.

But the next second, they could no longer hold back their smiles, because although the flames started, it did no harm to Concubine Xiang who was in the middle of the flames. Bai Sheng had already entered his personal dimension when the flames started, and what was left outside was just a projection.

Seeing Concubine Xiang's body engulfed in flames yet unharmed, Empress Zhang's face changed instantly.

Then he pointed at Prince Teng angrily and said:
"Cut him off for me, chop him off for me!"

Although the guards nearby were hesitant and even a little afraid of the body of Concubine Xiang which was unharmed in the flames, they had no choice but to obey the order.

He drew out his knife and prepared to attack King Teng.

At this time, Bai Sheng was satisfied, and at the moment when the knife was about to hit the King of Teng, his spiritual power immediately rolled up the blazing flames and split into two groups. One flame flew to the King of Teng, swept away the knife that was about to hit his neck, and turned it into molten iron. The other flame rolled towards Empress Zhang. In just a moment, she was burned by the flames and screamed miserably. Her clothes turned to ashes, and her skin and flesh began to burn under the burning flames.

At the same time, Bai Sheng also used his mental power to speak. Although the ears could not hear it, everyone's soul could hear it:
"I said an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

"If someone wants to do something to my son, then it's only natural for me to do something to her son!"

The next second after he finished speaking, the molten iron that had been transformed by the knife poured onto the prince's neck under the sweep of another flame from Bai Sheng.

The screams were accompanied by the smell of burning flesh.

It's really refreshing to listen to!

When Empress Zhang wanted to kill Prince Teng, Bai Sheng poured all the molten iron from the knife that was used to kill Prince Teng onto the neck of Empress Zhang's son. How could this not be considered a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and tit for tat?

“If you are not afraid of the annihilation of your clan, you can continue to attack the Guo family. I will accompany you to the end, hahahaha!”

Finish this, finish this.

Bai Sheng's body disappeared in full view of everyone.

A wisp of mental power was still disguised as a ghost. While watching the fun, it also beat up Emperor Xuan of Ming. This guy spoke so harshly and blamed himself for attacking the prince. Bai Sheng was already very merciful by not hanging him up and torturing him, but just kicking him a few times.

"Even if the queen doesn't die, she will be skinned alive!"

"I originally thought that even if you don't die, you will still have to shed a layer of skin. It was just a metaphor, but I didn't expect to see it for real today."

"Is the...Prince okay?"

"Pouring molten iron on the neck is not good. Even if boiling water is poured on the neck, it may cause serious injuries, let alone molten iron. Didn't you see that the skin and flesh disappeared in an instant? Fortunately, there was only a thin layer of molten iron. If there was more, I'm afraid the whole neck of His Royal Highness would be turned into ash."

"Can the prince still succeed to the throne?"

"The Queen has really ruined her own position as Queen Mother and even the Crown Prince's originally secure throne as Emperor by her own efforts. Now the purpose of Xiang Guifei's ghost is probably not just revenge!"

"Now that we have come this far, we must fight to the death!"

"Can a person be so powerful just because he's dead?"

"It's definitely impossible. There are many people in this world who died more unjustly or miserably than Concubine Xiang. Have you ever seen anyone causing such a big commotion? I'm afraid there must be something wrong with Concubine Xiang herself, or in her previous life, or even her soul."

"That's right. There have always been many wronged souls in the imperial harems throughout the dynasties. There have always been many people who were forced to be buried alive even though they did not volunteer to do so. It's just that Imperial Concubine Xiang is too special.

The Queen has hit a wall."

At this moment, although some people have rushed to check on the conditions of Empress Zhang and the Crown Prince and performed first aid, more people, especially the royal relatives who are watching, are now quite pessimistic about Empress Zhang and the Crown Prince. Some are even trying to make overtures to Prince Teng!
With such a terrifying mother, why worry about not being able to ascend the throne?

At the same time, because Empress Zhang and the Crown Prince, who were in a position to make decisions, were both seriously injured and unconscious, the scene was in chaos for a while. It was not until the current Emperor Zongzheng was brought forward to take charge of the situation that the situation was barely stabilized.

Those who should keep vigil should keep vigil, and those who should go home should go home.

As for blocking the news, who cares?

The two I care about most are already unconscious!
So it was natural that the relevant news spread quickly from the palace, and became more and more exaggerated. By the next morning, there were already three versions of Concubine Xiang's appearance. Some said that she turned into a terrifying ghost king, some said that she turned into a zombie Hanba who could control fire, and some said that she was a god who came down to earth to experience tribulations, but was destroyed by Empress Zhang and turned into a demon to seek revenge, etc.

In addition, the news that Empress Zhang and the Crown Prince had died was also spreading like wildfire, causing a lot of excitement.

Compared to ordinary people who only gossip about related matters, the royal family, princes, and civil and military officials undoubtedly have more things to consider.

Although it was during the national mourning period, the prince did not die.

However, they still convened a grand court meeting without the emperor. All the important ministers, important nobles, and royal family members gathered together to discuss how to deal with this matter and whether to continue to try to deal with Concubine Xiang.

And whether to depose the crown prince.

Let another prince or king ascend the throne and become emperor.

"Still going to deal with Concubine Xiang? What are you going to use? Are you going to use your life to deal with her? Zhang Tianshi, along with the three immortals and four monks, were all defeated. They were no match for them at all. The White Horse Temple even took out the Sakyamuni's relics, but they still couldn't save the queen, right?
What is the current situation of the Queen and the Crown Prince?

Don’t you know? "

"But compromising like this is too outrageous. Are all the civil and military officials going to succumb to a mere female ghost? This... this is really too absurd!"

"Don't think about whether it's ridiculous or not. The reality is that we really can't do anything about Concubine Xiang."

"In my opinion, Imperial Concubine Xiang is actually quite easy to talk to. So far, no one has died in the entire palace, right? Although the Queen and the Crown Prince were seriously injured and could die at any time, Imperial Concubine Xiang did not hurt them directly without reason.

Whether it was the eunuch who received the order and killed Concubine Xiang, or the guard who received the order and chopped Prince Teng with a knife, nothing happened. It can be seen that Concubine Xiang also knew that they were just tools and the culprit was the person who ordered them.

So, maybe we can talk to Concubine Xiang!"

"The Xiang Imperial Concubine's demands are very clear. She wants the Empress to pay with her own life, and she also wants to abolish the practice of burying people alive with their dead."

“The queen doesn’t have a single piece of healthy skin on her body now. Even the most skilled imperial physicians are helpless and can only try to keep her alive. Every day she lives is a day of pain.

If you really sacrifice your life for something, it will be a relief!"

"Burying people alive with the dead is not a good policy. The sages have long said that the first person to make clay figurines would have no descendants. Even using clay figurines to bury people alive is inhumane, let alone using living people!
It’s just that the founding emperor Wu was so cruel that no one dared to speak out! "

"So as long as we give the queen less life-extending medicine, she will die in a few days. At the same time, abolishing the practice of burying people alive with their loved ones can be done once the new emperor ascends the throne and issues an order."

"I just don't know if Concubine Xiang will agree or not!"

"That's why I said I wanted to talk to her!"

This is the group of people, and there are other groups of people who are currently having a heated discussion about who is more suitable to ascend the throne and become emperor.

"The prince is definitely dead. I saw his neck. Although it's not broken, it's really bloody. He's just hanging on. Even if he survives, he will be severely disabled and his body will be damaged!"

"I think it's appropriate to let Prince Teng take the throne!"

"That's right. If nothing else, at least the ghost of Concubine Xiang will definitely not be dissatisfied, nor will she cause trouble. She will even wholeheartedly bless Prince Teng to ascend the throne smoothly."

“No, even if the crown prince cannot ascend the throne, there are other princes who will take his place. Regardless of the order of primogeniture or seniority, it will not be the turn of Prince Teng. Moreover, Prince Teng is too young. Two emperors have passed away in less than a year, and foreign enemies are already ready to make a move. It is obvious that the country needs an older monarch to rule the world.

I recommend that His Majesty the King of Han should let his younger brother succeed his elder brother."

"When the Jingnan Campaign was launched, the King of Han had made great contributions, and even saved Emperor Jing'an several times. His merits are outstanding. If the King of Han ascends the throne, it will surely be enough to deter the foreign tribes on the border, and there will be fewer wars and conflicts."

"When the elder brother dies and the younger brother succeeds, it is a recipe for chaos!"

"That's right, it's orthodox for the son to succeed the father after his death!"

"I think it's meaningless for us to discuss this here. We have to see what Xiang Guifei's ghost means. If she is not satisfied, she can make the new emperor die at any time with her ability."

"This……"

"Probably, she shouldn't."

"Who knows? Just because she has dared to attack the crown prince now, it would not be surprising if she attacks anyone else in the future. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Han or other princes are not afraid, I don't mind who inherits the throne."

As soon as these words came out, several princes who were in front of Prince Teng hurriedly waved their hands, saying that they had no ambition to become emperor and that being a free and easy king was just fine.

But don't harm them.

Only the Han Wang lineage was still active, mainly because the Han Wang had not yet returned from his fiefdom, and those ministers who originally depended on him had to be more active in order to gain the credit of following the dragon. As for the ghost of Concubine Xiang, the Han Wang was not a weak prince. Having experienced countless battles, the Han Wang might be able to kill Concubine Xiang with his murderous aura alone.

This confidence made them not worry about Bai Sheng at all.

Still actively pushing the King of Han to the throne.

Unfortunately, the concept of the son inheriting the father's property is more deeply rooted in people's minds nowadays. Most civil officials and military generals, and even nobles, agree with it. After all, no one wants to leave the property they have accumulated throughout their lives to their children after their death.

Instead, it was inherited by his younger brother.

Therefore, there were many people who opposed the King of Han's succession to the throne.

But no matter what, when Empress Zhang and the Crown Prince were seriously injured and unconscious, the entire court, both civil and military officials, and royal family members, after some discussion, had basically decided to abandon them. The only difficult point was whether to promote the King of Han or the King of Teng to the throne.

Although the King of Han was not very smart, he was at least older, and his military strength was also very strong, and his prestige in the army was extremely high. When he came to power, many military generals and nobles were relatively satisfied and willing to support him. After all, a martial emperor would definitely be good for them.

Those who oppose it are basically the civil service group.

As well as military generals and nobles who have grudges against the King of Han.

Although Prince Teng was young and his specific abilities were uncertain, his identity at least conformed to the common understanding that the son inherits the father's position. In addition, he was educated in Confucianism since childhood, which was more in line with the interests of the civil servants.

The most important thing is that there will be no danger for him to ascend to the throne, and he will definitely not encounter any obstruction from the ghost of Concubine Xiang.

There will not be a situation where three emperors die in one year. (End of this chapter)
