Chapter 33: Begging sin from heaven and cutting open the liver and gallbladder
In the southwest corner of Qi Palace, there is a very abrupt palace.
It is located in a remote place and deserted.
At first glance, the appearance of this palace looks like a huge blue stone.
In fact, it is indeed made of a whole blue boulder, hollowed out inside.
This is the Bluestone Palace, where the deposed prince Jiang Wuliang is imprisoned.
Few people come here, and even those who have to pass by the area do so in a hurry, with their heads down, for fear of being contaminated by some misfortune.
When Jiang Wuliang was first deposed, he was still free. Apart from the fact that he had lost all hope of succession, he was not much different from the other princes.
But in the sixth year, the imperial censor reported that the deposed prince had private complaints.
The emperor was furious and imprisoned him in the Bluestone Palace, where he would die of old age.
At the end of the day, Jiang Wuliang has been imprisoned here for nineteen years!
In the past nineteen years, not to mention the comings and goings of powerful people, even moths, flies and birds have not flown here.
On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a scholar in blue shirt came outside the Qingshi Palace.
He was famous in Linzi eighteen years ago, but few people recognize him eighteen years later.
His body seemed a little weak, and his cultivation was not obvious, and even his steps were not very steady.
But his magnanimity is impossible to ignore.
Every step he took was slow, but every step was so resolute. This seemed contradictory, but it just showed that he had thought twice about every step and made up his mind.
This is a remote corner of the huge Qi Palace, a place that has long been forgotten by the world. Even the guards holding halberds and standing at the gate are nowhere to be seen.
It was not the guards who imprisoned Jiang Wuliang, but the order of Emperor Qi.
The blue-shirted scribe walked on the cold stone road. The tall palace walls surrounded the majestic Qi Palace behind him, and the only abrupt bluestone palace was right in front of him at the end of the stone road.
At the end of the road, the blue-shirted scribe stopped and looked at the palace gate that had been covered in dust for nineteen years.
The whole person prostrates himself on the ground, kowtows in the most humble posture, and knocks on the door in the most humble voice.
A sparrow rested on the eaves, tilting its head and looking at this person in confusion, probably feeling strange and strange.
This should be the feeling Xu Fang brought to the entire Daqi Palace.
He is strange and weird. He is abrupt and noisy.
But as soon as he said it, it was shocking!
"The sinner Xu Fang has come to plead guilty to the Holy Prince!"
It was a hoarse voice, roaring with all its strength.
Without the support of cultivation, he poured all his vitality into his voice, hoarse at the top of his lungs.
And the "Holy Prince"...
Counting the time when Jiang Wuliang was deposed, it has been twenty-five years since he left the center of power.
For twenty-five years, the title of prince had nothing to do with him.
In today's Daqi, His Royal Highness is Jiang Wuhua, and his residence is Changle Palace!
Jiang Wuliang was imprisoned here, so naturally there were "jailers" here, just not in the open.
For nineteen years, Jiang Wuliang has not left the house, and the "jailers" here have gone through dozens of rounds.
Those were a few eunuchs with good cultivation.
Nineteen years of wind and rain, outside the Bluestone Palace, moss grew on the stones and cobwebs formed on the eaves.
Not many people pay attention to this place anymore, including the "jailers" who guard it.
The current threats to Prince Jiang Wuhua's position are the third princess Jiang Wuyou, the ninth prince Jiang Wuxie, and the eleventh prince Jiang Wuqi.
Many people even forgot that Jiang Wuhua was not the eldest son of the emperor. The real eldest son of the emperor had been banished long ago.
So when the scribe Qingyi came slowly, the "jailers" didn't bother to pay attention.
Until he knelt down and prostrated, until he shouted that "Holy Prince".
Several eunuchs were shocked and moved!
Something big happened!
They don't know yet what will happen, but they already have such an awareness in their hearts.
And they didn't dare to stop it.
When the word "Holy Prince" comes out, they are no longer qualified to stop all this.
Xu Fang burst into tears and lamented sadly: "In the past, Xu Fang was wild and rebellious. He didn't understand the world and had no compassion. He was bewitched by traitors and used his tongue. He used distorted and shameless words to smear the noble body of a benevolent person!"
"
"It's been twenty-six years recently!"
"The way of heaven is constant, and retribution will not be satisfactory. Thunder will punish evildoers, and bitterness will fry the evil intestines!"
"Heaven and earth have promised me to let go, and this retribution is deserved. If it affects my family, I deserve it!"
"Eighteen years of life would be worse than death, and I would have to stay up all night!"
"When I look back at my past life and repent, I realize that there is no wiser person than the Holy Prince. However, it was unvirtuous to let him go, and the country lost its virtuous prince."
"Begging sin from Heaven, cut open the liver and gallbladder!"
Xu Fang angrily scolded Jiang Wuliang, which shocked the government and the public. When going through the past events, it was usually regarded as a sign of Jiang Wuliang's complete collapse.
That year was the 28th year of Yuanfeng in the Qi calendar, which was the 3892nd year of the Dao calendar.
And the very next year, the twenty-ninth year of Yuanfeng, Jiang Wuliang was deposed and officially left the center of power in Qi.
This year is the fifty-fourth year of Yuanfeng, so Xu Fang said that there have been twenty-six years recently.
Xu Fang, a famous celebrity who was known as "crazy" in the past, today apologized in the most humble manner.
Every word is sad, and every sound is bloody.
More and more eunuchs and maids were running around the palaces.
Various communication methods take effect almost at the same time.
This scene happened outside the Qingshi Palace, a remote and cold palace, and quickly swept through Linzi like a storm!
…
The spider web outside the Bluestone Palace is very much like the densely knotted Daqi Palace. The slightest movement will be immediately noticed by the predators on the "cobweb".
Why is it said that the direct battle between the Great Qi Dynasty starts among the crown prince Jiang Wuhua, the third princess Jiang Wuyou, the ninth prince Jiang Wuxie, and the eleventh prince Jiang Wuqi?
Except that they have all practiced the two parts of the Heavenly Classics, Earthly Scriptures, and Earthly Wefts in the Supreme Ziwei Zhongtian Canon.
Another very clear sign is that among Qi Jun's princes and daughters, they are the only ones who still live in the Da Qi Palace, and each of them has his own palace.
In the Huaying Palace, a heroic and well-dressed woman suddenly stopped her military drill and threw away the halberd in her hand, "No more practice! Let's watch the show!"
The painted halberd flipped and rolled in the air, making a roaring sound.
An old woman stretched out her hand to catch the halberd, lifting it with ease and making a hoarse roar. She seemed to be accustomed to her willfulness, so she took out a gorgeous cloth bag and carefully covered the front end of the halberd.
…
In the palace of nourishing the heart.
"Hehehehehehahahaha, interesting, interesting!"
The soft-faced man in rich clothes laughed strangely and pushed the disheveled maid away from his arms: "Bring me some wine!"
…
The old eunuch hurriedly walked into the Changsheng Palace.
A thin figure is sitting against the backlight, practicing calligraphy.
The old eunuch tiptoed closer and whispered something.
This young man is handsome, but his face is too pale, which makes him look a little sick. He was very calm when he heard the words, and even the hand holding the pen and writing did not stop for a moment.
Just write one word.
Then he said in a clean and pleasant voice: "Let's see how Changle Palace is doing."
…
All eyes are watching Changle Palace.
The current prince Jiang Wuhua, the owner of Changle Palace, has always been low-key and restrained. There are many rumors in the world that he just took advantage of the former prince. Just because he was born early, Jiang Wuliang repeatedly made big mistakes, so he was able to take over the East Palace.
Changle Palace should be the most alert to changes in Qingshi Palace.
But in Changle Palace at this time...
His Royal Highness, who has a very simple face, is still busy in the kitchen.
The eunuchs in charge of the kitchen stood in a row and looked at him with sad faces.
I saw His Highness the Prince with his sleeves rolled up high, his eyes fixed on the fire, and all he said was: "Madam, Madam! I need to make my elbows softer, don't say I didn't predict what I said!"
There was only a shout from far away: "Yes!"
…
And inside the Bluestone Palace.
Inside the Qingshi Palace, which is always silent.
After a long time, there was only a soft sigh.
No love or hate, no regrets.
