Chapter 12: Old people and old things, peace and injustice
"No wonder you are so anxious, it turns out she was attracted..."
Zhou Qing glanced at the erratic figure and picked up the mysterious cat again. It seemed that this time the mysterious mysterious cat had consumed a lot of energy. Now he no longer even had the energy to run or jump.
"I haven't seen you in the past few days. Do you know that she is missing?"
"Why don't you just tell me?"
As if he was too lazy to answer Zhou Qingdu's words, Xuanmao leaned on Zhou Qingdu's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest. Suddenly he started to purr and fell into a deep sleep.
As if he felt helpless towards this mysterious cat, the young Taoist priest didn't say anything more, but his hands were a little gentler when he held it, and then he walked outside.
Now outside the pothole, Li and Du were looking anxiously.
It was not that they were unaware of the strange noise coming from the pit just now, but it was just too sharp and they couldn't distinguish anything. However, later, a demonic wind drifted out, blowing up a lot of dark and evil aura, and the whole thing
The area around the pothole seems to be a little brighter.
I don’t know if it’s their misunderstanding.
Just as he was hesitating whether to rush in and take a look, he saw the young Taoist priest walking out holding the sleeping black cat.
The two of them immediately breathed a long sigh of relief and let go of their tangled emotions of worrying about this mysterious young Taoist priest.
"It's okay, the source inside has been processed by the trail."
"The rest depends on God's will..."
Zhou Qing glanced back in the direction of Chang'an and spoke with a deep meaning. Then he greeted Li and Du, who were still confused, and walked in the direction of the Taoist temple.
"Don't stay in the land of right and wrong for long."
"Otherwise it will be of no benefit to you."
Du Zimei seemed to want to explore the true identity of the tomb of the female prime minister during the Wu and Zhou Dynasty, but was blocked by Zhou Qingdu with a word.
He is not a ungrateful person. He knows that given his status, he really wanted to do this. It would be fine if no one else knew about it. If he knew about it, it would be detrimental to his career. After all, there is no way for outsiders to do it conveniently.
By this time, the young scribes were envious of Zhou Qingdu's special status.
You must know that even for a high-ranking family like his, it is very troublesome to travel to various places. You must bring your name and official documents before you can travel freely.
On the contrary, it is not as good as those in Taoism, who can travel to and from all places with just a name tag and Taoist records, without having to worry about being treated as a homeless person and being imprisoned and doing hard labor.
"I'll tell you slowly along the way..."
"This place will soon become lively. It's not a place to stay for a long time."
Seeing Du Zimei's obedience, Zhou Qingdu rarely explained more. Du Zimei, who was quite sensitive to these things, pulled his brother Taibai and immediately followed his footsteps.
...
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the shadow of the mountain where the Taoist temple was located was already faintly visible. Zhou Qingdu slowed down and gave the two scholars, Li and Du, who had been chasing behind him, time to breathe and regain their strength.
Even though they experienced a lot this day, they actually didn’t spend much time.
It's just after noon now, and it's still the hottest time of the day.
Seeing that it would take a long time for the two of them to regain their strength, Zhou Qing simply found a place in the mountain forest. After making a hand gesture, he motioned to Li and Du to sit on the ground and take a rest without worrying about snakes, insects, or rats.
Ant infestation.
"Shangguan Wan'er's tomb has been ruined a long time ago, and there is nothing evil in it. What happened this time was deliberately done by someone."
I saw the two of them resting for a while and coming back to their senses.
Zhou Qingdu just gave what he saw and heard.
For a moment, Li and Du looked at each other, obviously not expecting that they would encounter such a secret matter involving the palace.
"So even if you have seen what happened this time, don't spread it to the outside world, otherwise it will not be a good thing for your future."
After hearing Zhou Qingdu's warning, the two of them nodded in understanding.
However, Li Taibai still doesn't understand this point.
"Forgetting that Shangguan Wan'er was killed after being involved in Empress Wei's rebellion, why did she still use her name to do these evil things?"
"Besides, it's been so long since it happened. Will the saint still care about it?"
After hearing this, Zhou Qing knew why Li Taibai would get involved in the fight for the throne at will. He is a good person, and his talent is talent, but he has no ambition.
"There is a sentence that sums it up well..."
"Those who have wronged you will always know how wronged you are."
"Your Majesty has never spoken about this matter, but he can't get over it in his heart."
"Not only because Shangguan Wan'er used to be the bridge between the Supreme Emperor and the outside world, but it undermined the family ties between heaven and earth that His Majesty desires today, forcing the saint to lock up the late emperor, but also because Shangguan Wan'er did nothing wrong in this matter, so
Anyone who mentions this scar will meet an unreasonable emperor."
Zhou Qingdu's words seemed to have lifted the haze of sanctity surrounding His Majesty, but they also made him closer to an ordinary person.
Li Taibai hesitated to speak, because he understood that as long as the current saint is still a person, judging from Zhou Qingdu's words, things will indeed develop like this.
Because people who want to cover up their ugliness often lose their usual reason.
Once someone takes advantage of this opportunity, even if it is a random involvement, they can do something that was impossible in the past.
It's just that... those who play with fire will inevitably burn themselves. This move can only be a dangerous move, but it can never happen again.
Who is so bold as to resort to such a trick?
Li Taibai, who claimed to be familiar with senior officials from various departments in the court, as well as candidates for prime minister, could not think of any of them for a while.
Even Du Zimei didn't have the slightest clue.
"But..."
"Even if the involvement in Queen Wei's rebellion is false, it is true that Shangguan Wan'er has a close relationship with Princess Taiping."
"If Princess Taiping plots rebellion in the future, and there is such a female prime minister planning, the danger will be even more unimaginable."
"Nowadays, it is not a big deal for Your Majesty to strike first."
Jingzhao Du Family has more records of these secrets, and Du Zimei has a rough understanding of some of them.
I don’t think there was anything wrong with what His Majesty, who had already ascended the throne at that time, did, but when it came to the follow-up process, it did seem that he had a narrow sense of scope when it came to digging graves.
"Princess Taiping..."
"He is also a man with a proud heart and a life as thin as paper."
Zhou Qingdu gently combed the black cat's hair, and his expression became more and more dull.
"Don't get involved in this matter. That's it for now."
"I'm telling you some inside information because I'm afraid that you might rush in when your brain gets hot. Whether you become cannon fodder or a chess piece, it will be a waste of the 'Month Refining Method' I taught you."
"Now that you have the road to heaven at your feet, don't do anything stupid."
Seeing the young Taoist priest's words, the two of them knew the seriousness of it, and both said they would keep this matter in their stomachs and not say a word to the public.
After chatting for a while, the two of them had almost recovered their physical strength, and they quickly stood up, preparing to return to the Taoist temple with Zhou Qing. However, not long after they left, someone was already galloping to the ground behind them.
