Chapter 213 Playing Missing
In the entire Northern Wei court, except Tuoba Tao and Yingyan, no one wanted Tan Yaoyu to become the queen. It was not how noble the queen's position was, but the legitimate son born to the queen would determine the rise and fall of each family.
Although the Northern Wei Dynasty had the custom of having a son and a mother die, it was possible to abandon a daughter in exchange for a prince with his own bloodline. In the eyes of all the heads of the family, this kind of thing is worthwhile.
So after Tan Yu successfully cast the golden man, all the Xianbei nobles and noble families began to take action, intending to work together to get rid of Tan Yu.
Originally, everyone didn't know where to start, but Tan Yaoyu gave up the best excuse himself.
The day after the Baiyi Temple was demolished, someone said that there were strange knocking sounds and women's crying in the ruins.
Gradually, the rumors left. It was said that there were originally evil spirits under the Baiyi Temple, but now the temple has been demolished and evil spirits have appeared in the world, so there are ghosts crying.
Baiyi Temple has been built for seventy years. Since it is the only temple in Pingcheng, the entire mistress of Pingcheng is almost all pilgrims of Baiyi Temple. The abbot has always been very polite to these ladies, and no one is willing to believe that the kind-hearted master would be executed for breaking the precepts.
The clan wives condemned Tan Yuyu one after another, and several even sued the empress dowager. Although the empress dowager had never been to Baiyi Temple, she knew about it.
In the Queen Mother's opinion, Mrs. Cui had no need to lie, so the violation of the precepts must be true. However, the sentence was sentenced to the extreme just because of the violation of the precepts, which was obviously too much. Moreover, the people who were killed were still Buddhists, which could easily give the emperor a reputation of being cruel and cruel and disrespectful to the Buddha.
The Empress Dowager himself believed in Buddhism, so she would never let Tuoba Tao kill people like this. But the matter would become a bit complicated when it comes to Tan Yaoyu.
The Empress Dowager thought about it carefully. Now the emperor was angry. When she persuaded him at this moment, it would only make the emperor even more annoyed. So the Queen Qiu asked for the death. After a while, the emperor's anger disappeared, and it would not be too late to persuade him again.
The Empress Dowager also felt that the old nun who was not a Buddha should suffer some trouble in prison.
When the wife saw that the Empress Dowager did not express her opinion, she seemed to be unwilling to take care of her, so she was a little restrained.
But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
First, the blood letter from the abbot of the Master came out of the prison, saying that he was wronged. It was Tan Yaoyu who deliberately framed him.
Some people also advocated that this was the charge that the Cui family deliberately fabricated for the host teacher to protect Tan Yaoyu. In fact, it was just to use Tan Yaoyu's incident to bite the Cui family's meat.
Under Cui Hao's control, the Cui family was very calm. They stood on Tan Yaoyu's side from beginning to end, in other words, on the emperor's side.
As long as Tuoba Tao feels that Tan Yaoyu is innocent, Tan Yaoyu is innocent.
What's more, the testimony of the accusation of the presiding teacher's wife at the beginning was from Mrs. Cui, and even if you want to clear it up now, you can't do it.
Mrs. Cui is now hiding at home all day long without seeing anyone. She is a wife of Situ Mansion, the clan wife of Cui in Qinghe. Now she is being looked down upon everywhere and is regarded as accomplice of Tan Yaoyu.
The most annoying thing is that several major families have always been proud of not relying on their daughters to invite the holy favors. The Cui family is now protecting Tan Yanyu to the throne on the surface, either because they want Qingliu’s reputation and are reluctant to give up the help of the harem.
Mrs. Cui has heard others sarcastically mocking more than once, "It's not from the belly. Do you really think that people will be more in your heart? I'm afraid it's not greedy and swallowing an elephant!"
Mrs. Cui couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to complain to Cui Hao, "I said I didn't want to go to the front of His Majesty. You said that I would only benefit if I went there. Now, she, Tan Yaoyu, caused trouble and hid without a trace, but I was criticized and excluded. Today, Princess Xihai held a flower viewing banquet. All the ladies invited me, but I didn't invite me!"
Seeing that his husband's face became more and more ugly, Mrs. Cui retreated a little and then calmed down a little and said, "It's okay for me, I'm a wife after all. At worst, I won't go out for social events in the future. But, you are in the court and you can't be enemies with all the officials, right?"
Cui Hao asked with a cold face, "What exactly are you going to do?"
Mrs. Cui hurriedly said, "According to my opinion, we might as well meet Your Majesty again. We would say that the words that day were all said by Tan Yaoyu. In this way, let's clear it up?"
Cui Hao shook his head in disappointment, "I'm foolish, do you think everyone else is a fool? You also know that Tan Yaoyu has successfully cast a golden man, but she wants to be the queen. Do you want to give up the queen for a group of life-long wives?"
Mrs. Cui was unhappy, "What are a group of destiny women? Are they ordinary destiny women? Those are all destiny women! They are the mistresses of Xianbei noble families. Shu Chen said bluntly that a queen who doesn't know whether she can be awarded a title is really not as good as these destiny women."
Cui Hao sighed. He also knew that Mrs. Cui was right, but if it was left with Tan Yaoyu, it would not be clear with just one word of right.
"Madam, please feel relieved. It's better to have a few days off at home. Tan Yaoyu will decide on his Majesty."
The reason why Cui Hao insisted on his wife to tell the truth was that he wanted to bet. When the bet was right, when Tan invited Yu to marry into the palace, whether it was the queen or not, her words before His Majesty could be worth a hundred words from others.
If you bet wrong, it would be nothing more than being scolded by Your Majesty for not being strict in managing the family. However, Cui Hao did not expect that things would become more and more serious.
If it were just a trick played by the clowns in the court, Cui Hao wouldn't be afraid of them. After all, His Majesty is not so easily confused.
Why these people repeatedly targeted Tan Yaoyu and Cui, Sima Zhao's intentions were obvious.
In fact, what really made Cui Hao’s headache was that more and more civilians participated in the crusade camp.
More and more people near Baiyi Temple heard Devil's crying. The rumors became more and more evil. Some people with ulterior motives suggested that Tan Yaoyu should be buried alive to calm the original evil spirits.
For the people of Pingcheng, Tan Yaoyu was a goddess who came out of thin air. They did not witness the "miracle" of Yaoyu like those of Zhenxi Army. What they knew was all heard about.
In addition, since Tan Yaoyu was named the Goddess, she has been staying away from the door, which is mysterious and makes people feel a little unworthy of her name.
Compared with Baiyi's Ancient Lady who has been in full swing for more than 70 years, it is obviously the latter that is more convincing.
The people's dissatisfaction grew, and later it turned into a complaint from Zhi Jinwu in Pingcheng. He asked Zhi Jinwu to immediately release the presiding master to suppress the evil spirits. He also handed over the culprit's Invite Yu to severely punish him.
Shu Yun felt that he must be a horoscope with Qiu Chi, so why does it have nothing good to do whenever he is involved in this country?
But Shuyun was also in trouble. Tuoba Tao issued an order to lead him to secretly find out Tan Yaoyu's whereabouts, and it will be within ten days. He really wants to know where Tan Yaoyu is now.
But Tan Yaoyu seemed to have disappeared in Pingcheng, leaving no trace at all.
