Cangyang Continent, Northern Qi, the leader of the Three Kingdoms, March 31, the sixth year of Tianxiang calendar.【】
This day is a day that people in the entire continent can't remember in that era. How many people are willing to remember it, and how many people are unwilling to remember it. This day of memory exists extremely vividly, with the bright color of blood.
If you smear it, you will never forget it.
The Northern Qi witchcraft incident that shocked the Three Kingdoms took less than two days from beginning to end, but in just these two days, almost half of the big figures who were active in the Northern Qi Dynasty's political arena collapsed. Countless people were implicated.
, the number of people detained and executed alone reached five figures, the number of people exiled and exploited reached hundreds of thousands, and the number of people affected by the earthquake that followed was even more numerous.
The witchcraft incident was blocked by Emperor Qi Mu of the Northern Qi Dynasty from the beginning to the end. Until the end of the ordeal, those who should be imprisoned, those who should be exiled, and those who should be blocked were blocked, and the gate of Jingyang City, the capital of Northern Qi, was reopened. The news is mixed.
The bloody smell continued to spread around, causing waves wherever it went, and with increasingly exaggerated momentum, it crazily traveled towards the Eastern Shang and Southern Song Dynasties, which were intertwined with the Northern Qi.
As an ally of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Yeluxie of the Eastern Shang Dynasty who came to the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty with his troops this time was the first to express his position, pointing out that this matter was an internal matter of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and that he, the Eastern Shang Dynasty, would not be involved in it no matter how it developed.
A short paragraph, dozens of words, said in a smiling tone, completely freed Dong Shang from this incident, and made it clear that he was a bystander, neither supporting nor opposing, completely leaving it out.
.
The Southern Song Dynasty, which was the least powerful among the Three Kingdoms, also immediately received news. They unanimously stood on a united front with Dongshang, showing sympathy and secretly sarcastic attitude towards the occurrence of witchcraft. Although they acted like bystanders in every word and deed,
, but there were a lot of gossips flowing out smoothly, and each sentence was sarcastic about Qi Mu, the emperor who was sitting around and deserved Northern Qi to suffer this great crime.
Because there were so many people involved, the government of Northern Qi was somewhat unstable. In addition, the witchcraft incident happened suddenly and ended very hastily. Even though Qi Mu's people hysterically proved that the prisoner had confessed, and produced a series of
evidence, but obviously the people are not so easy to deceive, and they are more or less suspicious of this major witchcraft case that came and went suddenly.
Ancient feudalism is not as good as modern times. Human beings are born with a sense of awe for mysterious and unknown things like witchcraft. Out of this fear of awe, coupled with the fact that this matter is too hasty, there are countless mysteries.
Gathering together is enough to shake the hearts of the people.
Once the people's hearts are uncertain, all kinds of gossip will increase immediately. People are panicked, storms are rising, and various forces are growing in secret, either showing their heads or making secret noises. The situation suddenly feels chaotic.
It is often said that the king is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it.
It's not a big deal if dozens of people are confused, but if all the people across the country are confused, that's not a good thing. Zhong Qingye doesn't know what Qi Mu is thinking, but if this happens, it must be
He also has a budget in mind.
However, it is not her turn to worry about these things for the time being. No matter what Qi Mu's specific plan is, as long as she is not threatened, Zhong Qingye will be happy and leisurely. In addition to properly grasping the situation, he can live as he should.
At the same time, Qi Mo, as the highly prestigious King Rui, was in a rare crisis in this incident. The panic-stricken people all focused their attention on him, hoping to get a definite answer from him. What exactly is going on?
Is it a definite case of witchcraft, or is it a murder with a hidden agenda?
But Qi Mo's attitude was even weirder. He gave full play to his nickname of Lord Yama, turning a blind eye to all the rumors with a cold face. He kept an expression on everything, even if there were exaggerated remarks among the people about this time.
The incident was entirely created by him in order to eradicate dissidents, and he acted as if he didn't hear anything and did whatever he had to do.
His evasive attitude obviously added a layer of fog to the already chaotic situation, and the situation suddenly became complicated and confusing. The doubts in the people's minds became even greater, people were in turmoil, and some forces hidden behind the scenes also
Some of them couldn't hold back and wanted to take advantage of this incident to achieve success.
All in all, this drama, directed by Qi Mu, has become uncontrollable, and the situation has vague signs of chaos. Zhong Qingye can't guess what Qi Mu is thinking, but there is always an idea in his heart.
Mu is secretly planning a big move.
This action may be more violent than the witchcraft incident. For his own safety, Zhong Qingye decided to have enough chips this time and could no longer rely on luck like the last time.
When these things come to an end for the time being, we must make some efforts to get to know Qi Mo and Qi Mu, these troublesome guys. In addition, there is also the Dongshang wedding team that has been stalled for a long time. What is Yeluxie thinking about?
People know that there is nothing wrong with his smiling face, and they have to be careful.
Zhong Qingye stood in front of the big red wooden pillar at the door. He was wearing a simple black robe. His long hair was pulled up into a knot. He wore no makeup on his face. He wore a belt and riding boots, dressed as a man. He raised his head slightly because March
The sky is not bright due to moldy rain, and the eyebrows are slightly furrowed.
When I first walked into the palace, I clearly wanted to avoid getting too involved in the king's struggle between Qi Mo and Qi Mu, and try to avoid implicating myself. However, according to the current situation, this is just a luxury wish.
.
Involuntarily, just like in modern times, since she chose to stand with Qi Mo, it seems that there is no way to break away from the relationship between the two.
What's more, she can't force Qi Mo to die now... She can't do it anymore.
At this point, we can only take one step at a time.
Xi Zhang walked out of the room and was slightly stunned when he saw Zhong Qingye's back. The expression on his face was obscured by the gloomy sky. He walked to Zhong Qingye and said with an expression on his face: "Let's go.
"
Today is the day when the perpetrators of the witchcraft incident are to be executed. Qi Mu specially ordered that the whole city watch, in order to warn those who are ready to act, what will happen if they betray the royal family.
Zhong Qingye is a princess and is not within the scope of the order. It doesn't matter if she doesn't go, but Xi Zang said that she would never refuse the child the opportunity to say goodbye to his family.
