Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 252 The buried Hunan noble concubine (10) [-in-]

On May 27th of the first year of Ming Xuan's reign, which was the third day after Emperor Taikang officially ascended the throne, the deposed Empress Zhang and the deposed Crown Prince suddenly hanged themselves together. Several palace maids and eunuchs also hanged themselves with them.

The palace maids, including Empress Zhang, all wore bright red wedding gowns.

The deposed crown prince and the eunuchs wore blood-stained clothes.

Bai Sheng was arranging a dream meeting between Emperor Xuan of Ming and her son Emperor Taikang, so she didn't pay much attention to that. When she found out, the ghosts of the deposed Empress Zhang and the deposed Crown Prince, one wearing a red wedding dress and the other wearing a blood-stained dress, appeared in the back hall of the Qianqing Palace, and began to attack Bai Sheng angrily.

There is indeed some resentment and a lot of negative energy in him.

Definitely more powerful than Emperor Xuan of Ming!

But compared with Bai Sheng, even compared with just a trace of her mental power, they are still pitifully weak.

In a world with basically no spiritual energy, no matter how heavy the resentment is, it is difficult to become very powerful. Even the reason why the mother and son can form ghosts instead of their souls directly entering reincarnation or directly dissipating after death is that.

It probably has something to do with their identities.

And it has something to do with the good fortune that they have.

Because the moment Bai Sheng discovered them, he used his mental power to check the palace they were previously in, and he only saw the ghosts of the two of them.

The eunuchs and palace maids who hanged themselves with them.

Only very faint soul fluctuations could be detected near their bodies, which could not even take shape in the eyes of mental power. They were quite illusory, like smoke.

It is estimated that it will completely dissipate in less than three days!
In such a world, people with higher status can more easily form ghosts after death than ordinary people, and they can exist much longer.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty died of a normal illness, but his soul has remained for so long, which is probably related to his identity.

Even though he was emperor for less than a year.

After all, it is magical.

As for why the deposed empress and the deposed crown prince did this, Bai Sheng could guess without asking or searching their souls. They probably felt that the living could not possibly be their opponents, so they chose to hang themselves, which they thought was the most likely way to become a terrifying resentful ghost. One wore a wedding dress, the other wore a blood-stained dress, and they specially chose the midnight, which was twelve o'clock.

Is it possible to say that you don't have any thoughts of revenge?

Unfortunately, they had the wrong idea!

Even though the two of them attacked Bai Sheng with anger, they were instantly defeated by Bai Sheng's casual attack and were imprisoned.

It's like Monkey King meeting Buddha.

Bai Sheng held it directly in his palm.

Then of course comes the soul search. Although Bai Sheng can roughly guess why they did this, he doesn't know the specific details or whether there are other masterminds behind the scenes.

We still need to find out through soul searching.

After all, both of them were seriously injured and dying. Not to mention hanging themselves, even changing clothes would be difficult for them, so the possibility of involuntary death cannot be completely ruled out. Given their physical conditions, even if someone forcibly helped them change clothes or help them hang themselves, it would be easy.

Fortunately, they had just died, and their resentment was not strong enough to destroy their intelligence, so their memories were relatively intact, and the soul search was naturally quite smooth.

What they did was not voluntary.

At least not completely voluntary.

But they deserved it, and were truly repaid with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Their original bodies were buried alive, but they were hanged by the civil service group.

The civil service group headed by Prime Minister Yang had originally hoped that after the Prince of Han entered the imperial palace, he would kill the deposed Empress Zhang and the deposed Crown Prince, and then destroy Concubine Xiang. Once their goal was successfully achieved, they would then join forces with the nobles.

Control the King of Han, or rather, destroy the King of Han.

But the King of Han was wiped out by the Baojiaozi group before he could even capture the Qianqing Palace, and none of Prime Minister Yang's goals were achieved.

In order to prevent the new emperor from becoming a puppet of Concubine Xiang.

But cannot become their Holy Son of Heaven.

The civil service group can only keep trying.

The first step is to let the deposed Empress Zhang and the deposed Crown Prince hang themselves, and they must hang themselves in the form and time that represents the heaviest resentment in folk legends. If Imperial Concubine Xiang really turned into a ghost because of too much resentment after her death,
When both the deposed queen and the deposed crown prince died.

Her resentment had to dissipate somehow.

Then, when the deposed Empress Zhang and the deposed Crown Prince died, they were wearing red wedding dresses and blood-stained clothes, and they hanged themselves in the middle of the night. Theoretically speaking, they should have turned into ghosts that are more terrifying than Concubine Xiang.

So after all this operation, if Concubine Xiang is really a ghost, she will definitely die. It would be unfair if she didn't die.

Or maybe Concubine Xiang is not a ghost at all.

If Concubine Xiang is not dead, they will directly assume that Concubine Xiang is still alive and that everything is just a trick. At that time, they will naturally try to change the original plan.

Deal with Concubine Xiang the same way you would deal with a living person.

As for the specific plan and how to deal with Bai Sheng, there was no relevant information in the memories of the deposed empress and the deposed prince. Even the previous information was given by the civil service group because they were afraid that after the deposed empress and the deposed prince hanged themselves, they would find the wrong target for revenge and then find the person who hanged them. They specially sent someone to whisper in their ears to ensure that they would find the person they hated the most for revenge.

Although the information obtained from soul searching is incomplete.

But at least it made Bai Sheng understand who the murderer behind the recent trouble was. The civil servants group was an opponent that Bai Sheng had never expected. In the case that the former crown prince had not been deposed, it was natural for the civil servants group to oppose, after all, many officials in the past were princelings.

But the former crown prince has been completely deposed.

The new emperor, Taikang, has no power at all, so as long as they surrender in time, they don't have to worry about being liquidated.

So they have no reason to cause trouble.

Bai Sheng didn't pay much attention to them. His main focus was on Empress Zhang, the former Crown Prince, and some princes of the royal family. They were the biggest threat.

Unexpectedly, the civil service group directly imagined her as the villain behind the scenes, or the evil queen who tried to control the new emperor and act as a puppet.

"No wonder the banners raised by the King of Han during his rebellion were so strange, and he even called me a demon queen. It turns out that the root of the problem lies with the civil service group. No, they must be sick. They have so many things in their minds all day long, and they don't have the time to think about doing something for the country and the people."

Bai Sheng really rolled his eyes and complained.

She originally thought that things should have been basically settled and the opponents had been almost eliminated, but she didn't expect that the Civil Service Group would suddenly appear. She really didn't know what else they would do. It was so annoying!
They can curse her, but if those civil servants really suspect that she is not dead and controls such a huge force in the palace, who knows how they will try to infiltrate the palace.

Then try to deal with her and kill her.

Even if she was considering her son, Emperor Taikang, the best choice at the moment was to make the officials of the civil service group believe that the ghost of Concubine Xiang was completely dead.

It would be best to die together with Zhang Feihou and the others.

This should save a lot of trouble.

So after thinking for a while, Bai Sheng quickly squeezed hard, sending the souls of the deposed Empress Zhang and the deposed Crown Prince in the palm of his hand back to heaven and earth, and then broke directly into the dream of her son, Emperor Taikang, interrupting the teaching between father and son.

And told them what had just happened:

"Although I wish I could give those old guys headed by the civil servants group a dozen slaps each, so that they don't know which way to go, or even send them to see their ancestors, it's really too much trouble. Besides, you have just ascended the throne, and those foreign races on the border are ready to make a move. Maintaining stability is the most important thing at the moment. So I decided to leave the palace for the time being.

Just doing something I want to do.

You don't have to say it explicitly, but you can do something indirectly to make Prime Minister Yang and others think that I'm dead.

He died together with Empress Zhang and the others.

I think you can do it!"

"Wait, but if you leave, how can I enter his dreams at night to teach him? Also, I can feel that my soul is getting weaker and weaker. It was you who gave me some help, which made my soul more solid.

Can exist for a longer period of time.

What should I do if you leave? "

Before Emperor Taikang could react, his father, Emperor Mingxuan, became anxious and quickly expressed his concerns.

Both things are very important to him.

He really couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, I will add a contract to your two souls later, and then you will be able to meet each other automatically at night. Also, I will leave a portion of nourishing medicinal food for my son. My son, remember to drink it every day.

Then let your father breathe in some of the spiritual energy at night.

Can help him maintain his own soul.

It will not gradually dissipate and fall back into reincarnation.

Of course, if one day you don’t want to see him anymore, or he’s no longer useful to you, you can break the contract, and he will automatically disappear in no time.”

As he spoke, Bai Sheng had already flicked the secret recipe for nourishing the soul and spirit directly into Emperor Taikang's soul.

Then he turned around and threatened Emperor Xuan of Ming:
"Behave yourself. You can only absorb two strands of soul power every day. If you absorb too much, it will hurt my son's soul.

Just wait and see if I will kill you when I come back.

You can neither live nor die..."

"Okay, I'll just explain the general situation here for now. You two should take care of yourselves and be careful.

I placed a few incense sticks and a jade pendant on the bedside.

If anything happens but it's not urgent, just light incense and contact me. If your life is in danger, just throw the jade pendant away. It will protect you temporarily for a while.

I will come back in time to rescue you."

Finally, after giving a few more instructions and establishing a communication contract between the souls of the father and son, Bai Sheng withdrew from his son's spiritual platform and sea of ​​consciousness. Then, as he had said before, he left behind a few sticks of incense sticks and a protective jade talisman.

So he left the palace and went out traveling.

As soon as Bai Sheng left, Emperor Ming Xuan started to complain:

"Your mother is too cruel. If that's the case, my life will be in your hands from now on. If you want me to live, I can live. If you don't want me to live, just cut off the connection. In a few days, I will starve to death."

"Father, I am not that kind of person.

As long as Father is unwilling to leave, I will not break off contact with Father, nor will I stop offering two strands of spiritual power every day to protect Father's spiritual well-being."

Emperor Taikang certainly would not blame Bai Sheng, so he could only make a promise to comfort Emperor Mingxuan.

How could Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty really believe it? He sighed helplessly and stopped worrying about it. He continued to teach the emperor's mind today. Although for a moment, he thought about teaching his son to be filial to his parents to ensure that his soul would not be harmed, but in the end, he felt that it was more important for his son to become a qualified and capable emperor.

So we are still teaching according to the original plan.

As for the rest, it depends on fate.

……

What Bai Sheng called leaving was actually taking back that strand of mental power, and then his real body walked out of the portable dimension, releasing hundreds of thousands of nanorobots that were invisible to the naked eye, and taking out a personal aircraft, turning on the stealth function.

Start walking around.

Gather intelligence and do some justice at the same time.

The main function of hundreds of thousands of nanorobots is to go to various parts of the country to collect intelligence and eventually summarize the information, which should be helpful to her son.

Since he is the emperor, he must do his job well.

Can't make a mess!
With Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty around, Bai Sheng believed that her son would never become a tyrant and would definitely reach the passing level. A passing emperor plus a perfect and comprehensive national intelligence system, it might be a little doubtful whether he could become the greatest emperor of all time, but he would definitely have no problem creating a prosperous era.

This is what Bai Sheng is going to do for him.

In addition, she also planned to take this opportunity to collect intelligence information from all over the country to understand the situation of burial alive, and do her best to ban burial alive and prevent it from happening again.

Hundreds of thousands of nanorobots were released in the early morning of the 28th. The collection of basic national information was completed on the morning of June 1st, and the compilation and summary of information on burial sacrifices was completed in the afternoon of June 1st.

Half an hour after reading the summary report, Bai Sheng was so angry that his head hurt and he wanted to kill everyone.

Let's put it this way, the focus of burying people alive with the dead, or the total number of people buried alive with the dead, the proportion of the entire royal family is actually not that large. After all, there are less than a hundred princes and dukes in the royal family, and generally there are only three to five people buried alive with the dead. There are also cases where the number of people buried alive is zero if someone clearly stated before his death that he did not want to be buried alive with the dead.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the country.

The total number of people buried alive with the entire royal family was less than five hundred.

Of course, it sounds like a lot, but compared to another number, this number is really not worth mentioning, that is, there have been more than ten thousand heroines in the past hundred years.

After her husband died, the woman who followed him became a heroine.

It sounds nice to be called a heroine, and they can even be praised. If the family has some status, they can also use this as an opportunity to ask the court to erect a memorial arch for her.

But how can this not be considered as burial alive with the dead?
Since the founding of this dynasty, some heroic and chaste women have been continuously honored with titles and archways for heroic women and chastity. As a result, many women who could have remarried had to either commit suicide for chastity or be killed for chastity, or live alone and remain chaste because of these false titles.

A woman who dies with her deceased husband is called a heroine.

A woman who remains faithful to her deceased husband, never remarries, and has no contact with any other man is called a chaste woman after her natural death.

Both are extremely destructive to women...

Since the founding of the country, there have been more than ten thousand recorded heroines. How many are not recorded?
And the overall numbers have been rising continuously.

The total number of heroines in the past eighty years is not as high as the total number in the last twenty years. The increase in the number is definitely directly related to the archways for heroines bestowed by the imperial court, which is actually indirectly encouraging martyrdom.

The most terrifying thing is that although Emperor Taikang issued an edict prohibiting burying people alive with their husbands, suicide by chastity has never been regarded as burying people alive with their husbands.

Only the royal concubines were freed.

Countless women also sank in the sea of ​​martyrdom.
