Chapter 1099 The road back to the fiefdom will not be peaceful
The officials were surprised, but no one dared to say anything at this time.
The emperor continued: "This is man-made manipulation of birds and beasts."
His Highness the Tenth Prince stiffened slightly, but immediately lowered his eyes to hide all his emotions.
Everyone present was a human spirit, and they seemed to have guessed something.
Many officials looked ashamed, thinking that they had read the books of sages and sages, and hated the idea that strange powers could confuse gods, but they were led by the nose just now.
People said it was a bad omen, so they thought it was caused by an unknown person named King Xuan. People said it was a hundred birds and beasts paying homage to the phoenix, so they followed the mountain and shouted long live the mountain.
Zheng Zimo came out and said: "Your Majesty, if it were done artificially, it would be very cruel. This is trying to overthrow our country, Dongming!"
Shangguan Tianxiao secretly gave the official next to him a wink, and the official came out and said: "Your Majesty, we must find that monster, otherwise the rumors cannot be clarified and the people's hearts will not be stable."
Dongming Ziyu said: "I guess everyone must also know that Xuanzhou suffered from ant plagues and that I was attacked by birds and beasts many times."
The emperor cooperated and said: "I also heard that it was done by the former concubine of King Qin. She was born with the ability to control beasts."
Some officials questioned: "But isn't the former Qin King's concubine dead?"
Dongming Ziyu glanced at the official and said: "Her daughter who stole a dragon and turned into a phoenix inherited her superpowers, and now she has been controlled by someone with ulterior motives."
The official said respectfully: "I haven't found anyone, and I'm afraid it's hard to convince everyone if I just say that I have no proof."
Although his attitude was respectful, the implication behind his words was that Dongming Ziyu was just making excuses, and he had to produce authenticated evidence to stop everyone from talking.
Dongming Ziyu said nothing and looked towards the sky.
I saw three people appearing in the sky. They used their strength on the whirling birds a few times and landed lightly in the middle of the poisonous insects.
"Master Huiming!" Someone recognized the monk wearing cassock.
At that moment, everyone looked at Master Huiming with awe-inspiring eyes.
Needless to say, the young monk next to Master Huiming was Dongming Jingyu, the eldest son of King Xuan.
But who is that seven or eight-year-old girl?
His Highness the Tenth Prince's eyes flashed coldly, and his hands tightly grasped the jade pendant at his waist.
The emperor took a few steps down from the height, clasped his hands and said, "Master Huiming."
Master Huiming put his hands together and returned the greeting: "I have met the Emperor."
The emperor looked at the little girl and said, "Are you the daughter of King Qin who was left among the people?"
The girl scanned the whole place in fear, obviously she had never seen such a big scene and was a little bit frightened.
Duofu said sternly: "How dare you, the queen still doesn't kneel down when you meet the emperor!"
The girl trembled with fright and knelt on the ground with a thud, "Bye bye to the Emperor, the Queen."
The emperor glanced at the birds in the sky and the snakes, insects, rats, and ants on the ground, and said calmly: "Get rid of all these things. I didn't invite them to my conquest ceremony!"
"Yes! Yes!" The girl kowtowed and straightened up.
Then, many sounds of birds and animals continued to come out of the mouth. Sometimes the lips moved, but no sound was heard.
I saw that the birds hovering in the sky dispersed in all directions, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants on the ground also retreated one after another.
In just a moment, all the birds and beasts disappeared without a trace.
There is nothing more convincing than what was said on the spot, and the scene was completely silent.
The emperor asked: "Tell me, what did you do?"
After all, the girl is a little girl who has never seen the world. Under the emperor's power, she will say whatever she does.
Master Huiming clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, this poor monk has a merciless request."
The emperor's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "Master, do you want to beg me to spare this girl's life?"
Master Huiming smiled slightly and said: "Exactly, this child was bewitched and controlled by others. Although she is not completely innocent, the Buddha has a good life. Please spare her a life."
The emperor frowned, "Since Master Huiming begs for mercy, I should agree to it, but she has such a power, I'm afraid more people will miss her..."
Master Huiming understood what the emperor meant and said: "The poor monk will abolish her supernatural powers and make her no different from ordinary people."
The emperor smiled lightly and said, "Master Huiming is very considerate, so let her go to Ganye Temple to lead her practice."
Ganyean Temple, like Gokokuji Temple, is also a royal temple, where the female relatives of the royal family who committed crimes practiced.
Thinking about what happened today, even if the girl doesn't have the ability to control beasts, she will be looked at in a strange way by others, so she might as well go to the nunnery to think about her past.
The girl's eyes were filled with tears. She knew what the nunnery was and didn't want to go. But if she didn't want to go, where could she go?
Even if she didn't want to go, she didn't dare to say it.
Master Huiming smiled and nodded, placed his big hand on her Tianling Cap, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he muttered something.
I saw a wisp of green smoke gradually coming out of the girl's ears, eyes, nose and mouth. It seemed that her five senses that could communicate with birds and beasts were destroyed.
The girl was sent to Ganye Temple, and the ceremony of conferring the queen continued.
Although it was interrupted in the middle, fortunately the rest was uneventful.
Everyone is speculating on whether the emperor will favor the East Queen or the West Queen on his wedding night, or will they have a couple?
However, the emperor's choice was beyond everyone's expectations.
The emperor said that he had been poisoned for a long time and had not recovered yet, so he could not waste his energy. Therefore, on the wedding night, he slept in the palace.
The person who controlled the girl was also taken to prison by Gu Lingran and the royal guards. After some severe torture, it turned out that several people were paid to do things, and it was unclear who was behind the scenes.
As for the officials who insisted on calling it a bad omen during the conferment ceremony, Jinyiwei has information here. As long as the emperor wants to punish them, he can demote them, remove them from office, confiscate their families and exterminate them at any time.
Dongming Ziyu doesn't worry about any of this.
He secretly punished Xiyun's envoy. Although no one was killed, he also lost face and did not get any benefits from Dongming.
At the same time, rumors spread everywhere about the withdrawal of the vassal state. They all said that King Xuan, King Chu, King Heng, and King Ling would all be left in the capital by the emperor this time and would not be able to return to their fiefdoms.
Jing Yu put the gifts that Shangguan Tianxiao, Zheng Shuyue, Zheng Zimo and others gave to Shangguan Ruoli and his sister and brother into the space, and asked: "Father, do you think we can leave the capital and return to the fiefdom smoothly?"
Dongming Ziyu was looking at the accounting books of Beijing Industries and said without raising his head: "You can do the math yourself."
Jing Yu blinked his eyes and pouted, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable."
Dongming Ziyu was very happy when he saw his eldest son acting coquettishly. He smiled fondly and said, "We have stayed in the fiefdom and have never done anything illegal. The emperor has no reason to withdraw the feudal vassal, let alone detain us."
Jingyu waved his sleeves and put a box of silk into the space. He said like a young adult: "Some people want to do certain things, and they don't need a reason."
Dongming Ziyu raised his eyes, "Do you know that someone is trying to rob and kill us on the road?"
Jing Yu smiled lightly, "Well, I'm afraid the journey back to the fiefdom for these princes will not be peaceful."
Dongming Ziyu continued to read the account book and said calmly: "If you want to see your mother and concubine as soon as possible, you can decide the route back."
This kid can pinch, count, and predict good and bad fortunes, so it won't be a problem to avoid assassination.
