The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 325 The Extra Story ([-])

After eating and drinking enough, the dining table was removed, the moonlight was just right, and the family walked around the yard for another half an hour, completely eating, and then went back to the house to sleep.

And in a certain side hall, it was bustling right now.A group of men in black, each holding a bowl of white rice, stared at the pot of braised pork in the middle and refused to take their eyes away.

More wolves and less meat is the best portrayal of this situation.

With a wave of his hand, Xuan Yi pushed out Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu who were also surrounded by him, "You guys didn't eat less just now, so don't follow along now."

Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu protested, but they were squeezed out of the circle, "Boss is right, you are still not on duty. You are no longer held accountable for eating alone, and you still dare to share our braised pork."

No matter how much Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu coveted the braised pork, they didn't dare to say anything more.Committed to public anger, they will definitely have a hard time in the future.

The few remaining people lost two opponents, so they naturally smiled.

Everyone is a brother who eats in the same pot, the old rules, winning or losing is determined by punching, the winner gets a piece, and the loser gets nothing.

Therefore, in the small side hall, there was the sound of punching, and people who didn't know the inside story thought they were drinking, but they didn't think they were fighting for a pot of braised pork.

Moonlight listened to the excitement, sneaked in from the window and walked around, ruthlessly swirled on the pot of fragrant, oily braised pork, and then ran out...

The night is peaceful, but under the cover of darkness, there are often many conspiracies breeding.

"Ah, come quickly, someone is dead!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Tianjian, located under the observatory in the southwest corner of the palace, suddenly let out an exclamation.

A little eunuch rushed out of the door, screaming heart-piercingly, obviously terrified.

Chaoyangmen, the nearest one, has guards on duty every day, and they rushed to inquire after hearing the movement.

The little eunuch's face was so pale that he couldn't speak, and only pointed to the main hall in the distance.

The commander of the guards ran over quickly with his people, and when he opened the door of the hall, he saw a figure hanging on the beam of the hall.

The morning sun just shone through the opened door, which also made the face of the hanged man turn paler and paler, but the tongue in the depths was blood red, which was extremely strange and terrifying.

Even though these guards are all masters of martial arts, they were all taken aback.

"Come two people, put them down."

The two guards boldly threw a throwing knife and cut off the belt, and the figure fell down in response.

After it was placed properly, the whole picture was revealed, and everyone recognized it, "This is... Mr. Cai, the sacrificial wine!"

"Lord Cai, why would you commit suicide?"

Everyone was surprised and didn't understand why.Although the current emperor doesn't really believe in the theory of astrology and numerology, he didn't treat Qin Tianjian harshly.There are no concubines in the harem, and many palaces are empty, and the palace closest to the observatory was specially allocated for the use of Qin Tianjian.

But there are often rewards for sacrifices on New Year's Day.Now Lord Jijiu is dead, and he hanged himself and died in the palace. It's really hard to say when the word spreads.Anyone would probably guess whether the emperor treated the old Jijiu harshly...

"Here is a letter? Is it the last letter of Master Jijiu!"

The little eunuch who reported the letter earlier, perhaps a little bit too late, picked up the letter on the table and boldly opened it.

The leader of the guards frowned, and was about to snatch it away, but the little eunuch yelled again, "Oh, Lord Jijiu said that the Empress is a remnant of the Fire Worship Cult, which affected the fate of the Yuan Dynasty, and that's why the southern states were affected by the disaster." .If the empress continues to be in charge of the harem, I'm afraid there will be even greater disasters!"

The leader of the guards couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed the letter paper, and scolded, "Who gave you permission to write letters without authorization!"

After that, he waved his hand and called out to his subordinates, "Arrest him, his behavior is suspicious, and he will report to the emperor later to deal with it."

The two guards immediately gagged the little eunuch's mouth and dragged him down.

The commander of the guards wanted to tell everyone a few words, but he glanced at everyone's expressions and sighed again.

I am afraid that this matter cannot be concealed. Those who can serve as bodyguards in the imperial city are mostly the concubine sons of officials in the court, or have relatives with the emperor's relatives, even those with the worst status, and they also have a title in their families.

For such a big matter, it is really impossible for him to seal everyone's mouths.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more suspicious he became when he thought of the little eunuch just now.

"Take care of the person and interrogate him later!"

"Yes, my lord."

All the guards agreed, but they didn't know what they were thinking.

Today is the Great Court Meeting, and all Beijing officials of the third rank and above must go to the court.Outside the Zhengyang Gate, carriages and sedan chairs were already lined up.

The weather was fine, there was no rain, and the morning sun was not shining. The civil and military officials stood in front of the palace gate, walking and gossiping for a while.

Seeing that the palace gate was about to open, some young servants rushed up to him one after another and whispered something into the master's ear.

The faces of those officials changed obviously, and they couldn't tell whether they were cautious or excited.

Li Lin frowned, subconsciously feeling that something was about to happen.

Some elders in the pavilion also got the news. After thinking about it, they said in a low voice, "I heard that Mr. Cai...hanged himself."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"I heard that a letter was left behind, saying...the empress is a remnant of the Zoroastrianism, and the disasters in the southern states were caused by her. God...sent down!"

"What nonsense!"

Li Lin immediately scolded, and the other adults also had a bad face.

Originally, these few days were extremely busy for disaster relief.Now that there is a wave of unrest and another wave, if it is spread, it is not a trivial matter for a queen of a country to be so criticized.

Besides, with the love between the emperor and the empress, I am afraid that this matter will never be let go.

Several people looked at each other with heavy hearts.

At this moment, the two palace doors were pushed open with a "squeak" and the eunuch had long bowed to invite everyone to enter.

Everyone consciously lined up in two rows according to civil and martial arts, and filed into the palace gate.

In Fengxiang Palace, it was rare for Xiaomi to get up early and cook breakfast for her husband.Golden millet and red date porridge, plus pork patties, four fresh side dishes.Although it is simple, it is very appropriate to get up early and eat it in your stomach.

Feng Ze ate to his heart's content, and finally went up to court in high spirits.

When Xiaomi was about to hug her youngest son and daughter to catch up on sleep, Linglong walked in with a dark expression.

"What's wrong? Who annoyed you?"

Linglong has a quick temper and a straightforward temper, often annoyed by the lack of smartness of the court ladies and eunuchs.On the other hand, Jixiang who entered the palace with her, fearing that Linglong would upset her master early in the morning, pulled her sleeves and said angrily, "Speak up if you have something to say, and the empress will support you. Why bother to keep a dark face? I thought one of us bullied you."

Linglong heard the words, but her complexion was not at all good, she said in a low voice, "Madam, something happened at the star observatory. It is said that it was a sacrificial wine, Mr. Cai... hanged himself!"

"Suicide?"

Xiaomi was taken aback. She remembered that not long after she took the position of queen, there was a national sacrifice. Because she was pregnant, Feng Ze didn't want her to be tired, so he made excuses to spare her a lot of etiquette. Adults are not less nagging.

It stands to reason that this old man had a temper of not saying anything when he was wronged, how could he commit suicide quietly?
"Do you know the reason?"

Linglong stomped her feet, and the anger on her face became heavier, "This is the reason why the servant is angry, this old man, he will die if he doesn't want to live, and he left a letter, which was read by the sent guards Come out. Say..."

"say what?"

Xiaomi's expression darkened, and Jixiang Ruyi and Shuangxi were also anxious.

Linglong didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said everything out of the bamboo tube.

"The letter said, Madam, you are a remnant of the Zoroastrianism, and the disasters in the southern states are the punishment from the heavens!"

"nonsense!"

After hearing this, Xiaomi was not doing well, and Jixiang Ruyi and Double Happiness were in a hurry.

Ordinary women in the back house are still afraid of the name of Kefu or Ke's parents, not to mention the empress of a country, if she really bears the notoriety of hindering the country's fortune and harming the people, how will she gain a foothold in the future, how will she be in charge of the middle palace, and how will she be taught? Prince princess?

Xiaomi also raised his eyes, with a rare serious expression on his face, "That is to say, now everyone inside and outside the government knows that Master Cai committed suicide because he was afraid of revenge from the palace?"

"That's right, ma'am, that's what those guards said. Now the entire harem knows, as for the previous court... I'm afraid it's..."

Linglong didn't finish her sentence, but how could such a big matter be hidden from those well-informed civil and military officials.I'm afraid that within an hour, the whole capital will know about it.

Shuangxi stepped forward tentatively, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want your slaves to visit Qiankun Hall?"

Xiaomi was silent for a while, but waved his hands, "Forget it, you all go to rest for a while, I will sleep for a while, don't turn off the fire in the stove, and I will cook vegetable porridge for a few children when I wake up."

"Miss?"

Linglong and the others disagreed and wanted to persuade her again. At this time, shouldn't she go to the emperor and cry, or submit a memorial to defend herself?
"Go down, the emperor has his own disposal, and none of you should go to the front court to inquire."

"But ma'am..."

Linglong wanted to say more, but Jixiang Ruyi pulled her away one by one.Xiaomi took off her dress, walked to the bedside, and slowly lay down next to the two children, patting them lightly while thinking about something.

During the Eastern Expedition back then, because of her narrow victory, she was abducted to the grassland on the first day of the lunar new year. Feng Ze was anxious to pick him up, and he was a bit negligent in many follow-up matters.

Even though it had been deliberately covered up for her, the Zoroastrian Cult could not be extinct. Bai was once a Zoroastrian saint, and she was the last one, so it was inevitable that she would be dug out.

She and Feng Ze had long expected this day, but in the six years since they got married, they had four children, so she thought there would be no more waves.

Didn't expect it to come!

She was still a peasant girl back then, and he was just a prince, so they were not afraid.If the emperor and empress, who are now the most expensive emperors and empresses in the Yuan Dynasty, still panic because of such a small plan, then the people behind it will really underestimate their husband and wife.

Xiaomi closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep...

Outside the door, Linglong clung tightly to the crack of the door, hearing that there was really no crying inside, so she barely felt relieved.
