Chapter 563 Witchcraft
Early the next morning, Yue Shan came to the Danfeng Gate of Yong'an Palace to participate in today's morning court. At this time, there was already a large group of people waiting for the gate to open.

In the past, when seeing Yue Shan coming over, a large group would have come to say hello. Today, except for a few people who have a very good relationship, everyone else just watched from a distance. Yue Shan even saw sarcasm and hostility in the eyes of some people.

He understands why, the female chicken turns into a male.

Everyone knew that Yue Shan was the biggest magic stick in the Tang Dynasty, and if he wanted to use gods, gods and ghosts to attack the court, he had to pass him.But some people also breathed a sigh of relief and showed joy.

And some time ago, he had excused himself to retreat and study hard, and he hadn't been to the court for half a month, but he suddenly appeared today, and his purpose was self-evident.Those with ulterior motives will naturally be hostile to him.

Those who are loyal to the imperial power and don't want to cause trouble are naturally happy to see Yue Shan appear.

"Yue Hou, you are here, if you don't come, everything will be messed up." Jing Junhong walked over and said.

"Well, I know, don't worry, it's fine. Restrain your subordinates in the near future, and everyone will enter the first-level combat readiness state." Yue Shan said calmly.

"You mean?" Jing Junhong said with a happy face.

"What did I say?" Yue Shan asked indifferently.

"Uh... no, no, you didn't say anything. Haha... I, Lao Jing, have been waiting for a long time today to see how I can deal with them." Jing Junhong waved his hands quickly, and then scanned around murderously.

"Cough cough..." At this time, there was a light cough from the side, and Yue Shan turned his head to see that it was Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong and other core officials of the Zhenguan Dynasty.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you all?" Yue Shan said with a faint smile.

"Not good, not good at all. This old man was scared to death." Chen Shuda said with a wry smile, "I had thought of becoming an official for a long time, but I was greedy for power and reluctant to part with it. I hesitated until today."

"If I had been more decisive, I wouldn't have to worry about it today. After this matter is resolved, I will tell my old man and return home."

If someone else said this, Yue Shan would scoff, but Chen Shuda said that he had no doubt that this person was very real, and he really didn't look like an official.

And in the original history, he had already resigned at this time. Li Shimin tried to persuade him to stay, but it was useless, and he passed away three years later.

In this life, it is estimated that Tang Dynasty has made rapid progress in all aspects, and Guochao was in need of people, so he hesitated not to resign.

"Hehe...what did Mr. Chen say, the country needs a capable minister like you to take the helm, so you can't resign." Yue Shan laughed.

"You boy, don't flatter me, it's useless. It's no good, it's no good, my body knows it by itself. If I resign, I can live for two more years. If you continue to work, you may not see my old man tomorrow. The older you are, the more you fear death. , I still want to live a few more years." Chen Shuda said open-mindedly.

"This... the boy really doesn't know how to answer Chen Gong's words." Yue Shan said poorly.

"Haha...you don't need to talk about persuading me. If you really want to help me, you can settle this matter smoothly, so that the old man can leave with more peace of mind." Chen Shuda said.

The words finally got to the point, so many ministers gathered around must not be as simple as saying hello and chatting about family affairs, but asking about Yue Shan's attitude.

Glancing at the crowd one by one, Yue Shan said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Mr. Chen, this matter cannot be settled safely. Someone must pay the price for slandering and attacking the queen with witchcraft."

Everyone's expressions also changed, and Li Jing quickly asked: "Witchcraft? Yue Hou, are you sure that the transformation of a hen into a male is done by witchcraft?"

It's no wonder they were so panicked. You must know that in ancient times, nothing that had anything to do with witchcraft was a trivial matter.Especially when it comes to the imperial power and palace, it will even cause chaos in the world.

The most famous one is the scourge of witchcraft during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The prince was killed, dozens of famous families were punished by the clan, and hundreds of thousands of people were involved.

If the female chicken turned into a male this time was really caused by witchcraft, then the consequences... I can't imagine.

Jing Junhong's face also became ugly, just now he thought that Yue Shan was going to slap some people in the face with the chicken turned into a male, or kill some thorns.But now it seems that things are far more serious than I imagined.

Under everyone's gaze, Yue Shan shook his head first, then nodded and said: "I haven't seen the male chicken, so I don't dare to confirm whether it is the so-called witchcraft or not."

Before everyone showed joy, he said again: "But I also know how to turn a hen into a male."

Now all the expectations of the people were shattered. It is an unexplainable phenomenon that a female chicken turns into a male. Everyone can only attribute it to God's will, and only a genius has such a great ability.

But now Yue Shan said that he could turn a chicken into a male... It was surprising that Yue Shan knew this kind of magic, but considering the magic in the past, it was not unacceptable.

But here comes the problem, he possesses this ability, so other people can naturally master it too...

Then the answer to the question can only point in one direction, and the art of witchcraft must also point in this direction.

Otherwise, it can only be scrapped.

This is an alternative question with no other answer.Either it is true that the female chicken turns into a male, and the queen is abolished.Either it was done by witchcraft, to keep the queen and liquidate the rebels.

For a moment, they wanted to sacrifice the queen. After all, once the witchcraft technique was implemented, it would not be as simple as one or two people who died.

But everyone knows clearly that this is impossible.

Not to mention that the relationship between the emperor and empress is very close, even if the emperor and empress are at odds, the emperor will not tolerate the existence of witchcraft, the key is to use this method to deal with the royal family.

If you dare to use this technique against the queen today, will you dare to use it on the emperor tomorrow?
Therefore, anyone who has anything to do with witchcraft must be thoroughly investigated, and those who can be killed will never be spared.

At this moment, blood seemed to appear in front of their eyes.

Everyone exchanged a thoughtful look, and then they all backed away.No one persuaded Yue Shan not to speak, and no one persuaded him to change his words. There was no turning back when he opened his bow. From the day those people attacked the queen with a hen turned into a male, there was no turning back.

Now what they are thinking about is how to control the matter to a minimum, not to shake the foundation of the country, at least not to be as implicated as the scourge of witchcraft back then.

At such a sensitive time, it is very eye-catching for several ministers of the prime minister to talk to Yue Shan together, and all the officials present are watching them.

Seeing the gloomy faces of several Zaifu, everyone was imagining.Could it be that Yue Shan had no choice?

Thinking of this, those loyal to the imperial power are worried, while those with ulterior motives are happy.

At this moment, a carriage came over from a distance. There was a large cage on the carriage, which was covered with a layer of black cloth so that the contents inside could not be seen.

Thirty or forty strong men guarded the carriage, preventing anyone from approaching.

At first, everyone was still wondering what was inside, but suddenly a person raised his voice and said:
"Here it comes, Huaxiong's hen has finally arrived."

Now everyone finally knew what it was, and they all commented, "Is this the hen that turned into a male?"

"Haha...the evidence is here, this time I see how the sage will evade."

"Abolish the empress, you must abolish the empress..."

Those people with ulterior motives were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they surrounded him with a bang, while those who supported Li Shimin were like mourning.

But Chen Shuda and the others also showed sarcasm in addition to their heavy hearts. They really don't know how the word "dead" was written.

"Jing Gong, write down the names of these people one by one, and don't let anyone be taken by name." At this time, Yue Shan sneered.
