There's A Beauty

Chapter 39 4

To be honest, the emperor had been suppressed by the Empress Yuan for so many years, and when he saw the third son who looked similar to her, he would inevitably feel fearful and guilty.In particular, the older the third son grew up, the more extraordinary his demeanor became, and his noble aura dwarfed even the emperor himself.Just ask, how can he not hate to die.

Seeing a group of people walking towards the couch with different expressions, the emperor said sternly, "Why don't you go to organize the funeral of the crown prince and noble concubine, but come to my bedroom without a report? Who taught you the rules?"

"My son was expelled from the palace since he was a child, and he hasn't learned any rules. He still asks his father to forgive him." Ji Changye stabbed him gently, but his expression was very gentle.He greeted the Empress Dowager, then sat down beside the couch, and said slowly, "I'm here to tell my father about the funeral."

"The burial is according to the specifications of the prince and queen. Why do you need to come and report? If you can't even do this, then leave it to your brother. He should also hone his skills." The emperor put down his pen and pointed Refers to a meat ball sitting next to the Queen Mother.

The sixth prince squeezed his small eyes and smiled dryly at his brother.Anyone who doesn't want to be an emperor is cowardly like him, and he doesn't want to push out the pie that fell from the sky.Anyway, the empress dowager has already agreed, after he ascends the throne, he doesn't have to worry about anything, he only needs to eat, drink, have fun, give orders, and he can also recruit beauties from all over the world to fill the harem, wouldn't it be happier than when he was a prince?

Ji Changye breathed a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands at the sixth prince, "Then leave this matter to the younger brother." He actually admitted that he was not capable enough.

"It's easy to talk about." The sixth prince smiled and waved his hands.

Ji Changye said at the right time, "Because the Seventh Emperor's younger brother has not yet passed away, the remains of the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao cannot be moved no matter what. Even if a dozen strong men try to lift them, they are still stuck to the floor tiles, as if they weigh a thousand catties. My lord Really helpless, I can only find two pieces of white cloth to cover them. If the younger brother accepts this matter, you might as well go to the spirit to ask the seventh younger brother, and he said that death is like a lamp going out, and let him let the prince and concubine Xiao go out together. Ma. The weather is still very hot now, and it is not a problem that the remains are always placed in the Xuande Hall. Sooner or later, they will rot and stink, and they will lose the dignity of the crown prince and dignified concubine."

His tone was gentle and modest, but there was sarcasm in his words.

What is there to say about the current crown prince and concubine Xiao Gui?The occurrence of such a miraculous event, no matter in the upper circles or in the streets and alleys, has long been known to everyone.Moreover, the deaths of Wang Xiangqian and Wang Tianyou were the foreshadowing a few days ago. Everyone thinks that the princes and his family are like dogs, full of evil, human faces and animal hearts.

Can they bear the funeral with the specifications of the crown prince and queen?Don't carry the coffin to the street, only to be smashed back by the rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves of the people.Thinking of this, Concubine Cheng, who had been silent all this time, laughed out loud.

In just a few days, she has undergone earth-shaking changes. Before, she only knew to look at the Queen Mother's face, but now she is sitting far away from the Queen Mother, and she is not wearing plain clothes. It looks coquettish and weird.

With Xiao Guogong's mansion standing in front of him, the emperor couldn't do anything about this murderer, but he couldn't see her taking pleasure in other's misfortunes, so he immediately reprimanded, "What are you laughing at? The emperor's disrespect, you get out!"

Concubine Cheng leaned back in the chair, sat more securely, and said softly, "The concubine is laughing at the emperor's confusion! Rape and murder the concubine's mother, form a party for personal gain, plot to usurp the throne, poison and kill blood relatives, the mother and son committed all kinds of capital crimes, the emperor Instead of killing their nine clans, they were buried according to the specifications of princes and queens. Even if the ministers don't care, the common people don't care, how can the ancestors under the nine springs not care? The ministers and concubines are worried that the coffin will be transported to the imperial mausoleum, the ancestors It would be embarrassing not to open the door. It will be difficult for the emperor to go to Jiuquan at that time."

Is Concubine Cheng crazy?This is a blatant curse on the emperor!The ministers didn't dare to speak, and the hall was so quiet for a while, except for Emperor Yu's heavy panting and the sound of the sixth prince wiping his sweat frequently.

I thought the funeral would be very easy, but unexpectedly the evil spirit still has control over the corpses of the prince and Concubine Xiao, which means that they will not let them go even if they go to hell.Too cruel.However, Concubine Cheng's words were even harsher.However, based on the crimes committed by the emperor in conniving the crown prince and Concubine Xiao over the years, he really felt sorry for the country, the common people, and even more sorry for the ancestors who created the prosperity of Ming Dynasty.I don't know if they are watching from the top of their heads at this moment, and will the punishment from heaven come down again?

Thinking of this, the emperor sweated like a waterfall and his heart beat like a drum. He looked around nervously for a while, closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and beat his chest, as if he would faint at any moment.Death is not the end, but another beginning. All the sins he committed during his lifetime will be repaid after death. This undoubtedly deepened his fear of death.What is the throne, what is power?In the end it is useless.If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have...

The emperor regretted and despaired for a while, and gnashed his teeth for a while. In the end, his self-willed character prevailed, and he tried his best to pick up the pen and continued to write the imperial edict.He must not let the third son ascend the throne, and then deprive himself of the honor he deserves after death.If he randomly gave himself a posthumous title, he would be ashamed to go down to see his ancestors, and he would leave a bad reputation for thousands of years.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but moved forward, feeling extremely excited.She didn't believe that these people dared to go directly to snatch the emperor's imperial brush.

The fat of the sixth prince's whole body trembled, and he gasped heavily.He has endured humiliation for many years, and now he has finally come to an end. As soon as the old man dies, he will immediately recruit girls, collect treasures, and fill the harem and private treasury to the brim.

The old princes were very angry, but seeing the third nephew looking at them nonchalantly, they slowly regained their composure.Just write the imperial edict, and it's the same when you take it over and change the words.Now the outside of the hall is surrounded by layers of imperial guards, even birds cannot fly in.How would the outside world know what happened in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?This is the truth of the so-called "winner loses the bandit".

However, what they didn't expect was that the third prince didn't care, but he cared very much about the ghostly sores on the emperor's body.She had already promised that evil god to help the third prince ascend the throne, if the edict was promulgated, there would be no guarantee that the other party would not forcibly dig her out of the emperor and burn her to powder.

Thinking of this, she spewed black air and corroded the cloth on the emperor's chest, shaking her head while struggling to probe, and said sinisterly, "Ji Zhengze, you really don't cry when you see the coffin!"

When she showed up and spoke again, everyone in the hall was startled.Especially the Empress Dowager, who screamed and rolled down from the embroidered pier, her hairpin rings were messed up for a while, and her complexion changed suddenly.Is this ghost face sore actually alive?

The most frightened was the emperor himself.There was such a thing growing on his chest, and it was transformed by a wicked ghost. He didn't dare to touch it, and he didn't dare to look at it. He didn't take off his clothes or take a bath for several days.Of course, even if he dared, neither did the servants.

The emperor originally wanted the imperial doctor to cut it off, but he didn't expect it to be directly connected to the heart. Unless the heart was also cut out, he would not be free in this life.However, a more terrifying situation happened after all, it, it is not a dead thing, it can move, and even talk!

Others felt creepy and horrified when they saw it, not to mention the emperor's mood at this moment.He wanted to faint very much, but because his heart was controlled by ghost face sores, he was actually very strong at the moment.Concubine Cheng, who had always been very hostile to him, poured him a bowl of strong medicine in a hurry, fearing that he would not be able to hold on.

These women all wanted him to live and be tortured!

The emperor felt that he had failed terribly, but the words of the ghost face made him fall into a deeper hell.

"Do you think that with an extremely revered posthumous title, you can still be king and enjoy all the glory after death? You think too well! To be entrusted to be the emperor of the world is indeed a blessing. If you are good at governing the country , treat the common people kindly, it is not a problem to become a god after death. However, if you are so stupid that you lose your life, those karma will be multiplied on you. Because you are afraid of the mother clan of the Empress Yuan, you deliberately delayed the reinforcements and caused the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the frontier. As a result, all the people in the five cities were buried with them, and their dead souls lined up in front of Hades to sue you. Your karma has accumulated to a weight of a million catties. When the day of liquidation is reached, you will not be able to make up for it if you reincarnate forever, unless you are reincarnated from generation to generation. Ants have been trampled on for generations, so that you can taste the taste of life like a mustard. This is the reincarnation of heaven, karma, and no one can escape!"

In fact, the consequences should not have been so serious, but the emperor wanted to kill Ziwei Dixing several times, and he had already offended the heavens. This is the real karma.Even if the evil ghosts don't come to deal with him, the heaven will also send down the punishment of heaven, and the end will only be more miserable.But these internal causes are not enough for outsiders.

After the words fell, the ghost-faced sore looked at the sixth prince again, and said with a sinister smile, "Ji Xu, if you want to sit on the throne, do you have that fate? Look at the top of your head, and let's talk about it after paying off the karma! Man is doing what the sky is watching." , it’s not that the time has not come.”

The emperor's last hope was shattered.Being reduced to being an ant and being trampled on for generations, is this what will happen to him after he dies?It would be better to be completely out of your wits!Great despair and remorse finally defeated him, he threw away the edict, and dug hard at his chest, wanting to die with it.

The ghost face sore opened its mouth to bite his finger, and let out a sharp and piercing laugh.hate it?Regret?Afraid?Well, that's what she wanted!

On the other side, the sixth prince was looking at the top of his head in horror.Although he is cowardly and incompetent, he has done a lot of outrageous things, so he will naturally be affected by these words.He is so frightened right now, not to mention being an emperor, even a prince doesn't want to be a prince, he wished he could find a Buddhist holy place to be ordained and become a monk.Ghosts will never chase there, will they?

He picked up the imperial edict and tore it up two or three times, and ran out in a frenzy, "This emperor is not the king anymore, don't look for the king, the king knows it's wrong!"

At the same time, the ghost face sore that bit off one of the emperor's fingers slowly turned into black smoke and stench, floating in the air.But the emperor suddenly fell on his back, his chest gradually sank, forming a black hole of rot and pus.

The accident happened too fast, and after a few breaths, the ministers were still immersed in horror.Only Ji Changye stepped forward slowly, felt the emperor's pulse, and announced, "Father has passed away."

Great, it's finally over!This is the voice of everyone, including the Queen Mother.The emperor never dies, and the ghosts and ghosts never leave. Naturally, the capital is full of evil spirits, and people are panic-stricken. It is hard to guarantee that there will be chaos.

"Your Majesty, the late emperor has gone, please mourn." Wei Guogong spoke first, and the rest of the ministers came back to their senses, knelt down and shouted long live.

Ji Changye nodded, his expression remained calm.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne naturally required a lot of trouble, and at the same time he had to deal with the funerals of the emperor, prince, Concubine Xiao and the Seven Princes. Beijing was under martial law for a while.The crimes committed by the crown prince and concubine Xiao Gui were made public, their titles and titles were stripped away, they were demoted to common people, they were not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum after death, and they were not allowed to enjoy sacrifices.The funeral of the Seventh Prince was held in a grand manner, the new emperor presided over the ceremony in person, and treated the Concubine Chenggui very preferentially.As for the late emperor's funeral, except for the Empress Dowager who wept bitterly for him, the rest of the ministers felt relieved.

He died in a disgraceful manner, and the new emperor did not cover it up for him. He ordered the historian to record the truth and gave him the posthumous title of "Yang".Yang, taking the meaning of "good at slacking off at home" and "following chaos at home and abroad", from this word, we can see how much the new emperor hated the first emperor.

Some pedantic courtiers were very dissatisfied with this, and frequently wrote to ask the emperor to change his posthumous title, and bluntly called it "great unfilial piety".However, on the day of the burial, none of them dared to speak, instead they secretly regretted in their hearts.I saw that the late emperor's coffin suddenly fell down when it was being carried to the imperial mausoleum, and ninety-nine eighty-one traction ropes broke, causing all the coffin bearers to fall down.

At this time, the people hadn't noticed any abnormalities, they only thought that the coffin was too heavy and the rope was too thin, which caused an accident.The ritual officer immediately replaced the rope with a thicker and bigger one, but it still couldn't lift it, so dozens of strong men continued to exert force, but they still didn't move at all, only then did they realize that something was wrong.

Seeing that the time for burial was about to be missed, the new emperor had no choice but to kneel in front of the mausoleum and write a letter of guilt, burn it to the ancestors, and then ordered people to continue to carry the coffin.

This time, ten more people were added, but they still couldn't move.A highly respected old prince thought for a while, and proposed to let the new emperor write an edict of sin in the name of the first emperor.The new emperor tried it for the time being, and burned it to the ancestors again, and the coffin was moved.

At this point, those who want to change their posthumous titles are considered to have completely given up.You must know that the inscription on the Edict of Guilt is exactly this word, and the ancestors did not think it was disobedient, which shows that they were also very dissatisfied with the late emperor.If the new emperor hadn't interceded for him, he might not even be able to enter the imperial mausoleum, and he didn't know how he would be scolded if he went to hell.

Of course, these are beyond their control, and it's better to serve the new emperor well.

Youshu has not seen her master for two consecutive months, so she is naturally panicking.

The four funerals had already been held, but white banners were still hanging everywhere on the street, and the people did not dare to talk and laugh wantonly. Walking on the road, the atmosphere was very dull.You Shu held a bunch of candied haws and strolled to the Three Princes' Mansion.The enthronement ceremony is still in progress, and Ji Changye still lives here.

There was an endless stream of people coming and going in front of the door, all of them were dignitaries in brocade clothes, Youshu had no choice but to go around to the back alley and knock on the corner door.

The porter naturally recognized him, but he didn't dare to let anyone in because he was told by his superiors.

"Young master, wait a moment, I'll report it." He locked the door with a smile on his face, and then hurried away.

Youshu frowned, already feeling that her position in the Three Princes' Mansion had changed.If it was the past, why did he have to knock on the door?Why do you need to report?Why wait so hard?Is the master still angry?That's right, I took advantage of him while he was drunk, but ran away without explaining afterwards.

Not everyone can accept Long Yang's goodness, Youshu still knows this.

While thinking about it, the door opened, and Ah Da nodded at the boy with embarrassment on his face, "Youshu, the master is out on business, you go back first. When the master comes back, I will tell him that you have been here."

Blinking frequently, her heart beating faster, and her eyes dodging, Youshu, who has studied micro-expressions, naturally knew that Ada was lying.People are obviously inside, but they avoid seeing them, so they are really angry.He nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."

But Ah Da stopped him suddenly, "Youshu, listen to me, don't come again. You are no longer suitable to stay with the master. You know, the master will get married after he ascends the throne, and the queen is the head of the Duke of Wei. Daughter, at the same time, I have to accept the daughters of the Dingguo Mansion and the Anyang Marquis Mansion as concubines. In the future, we will recruit more beautiful women to fill the harem and continue the blood for the royal family. Rather than being sad at that time, it is better to give up early. Besides, besides..." The rest of the words were spoken with the meaning of revenge, but Ah Da did not continue after all.

However, Youshu has clearly understood what he left behind.He fixedly looked at his former companion, and added, "Besides, I have strange abilities. Staying by the master's side is a hidden danger. You have to guard against it." He squeezed the candied haws tightly in his hand, and nodded heavily, "I'm leaving , goodbye."

Just like mind readers were slaughtered and extinct by other supernatural beings, the people here can't tolerate a strange person who can control ghosts.Although she knew this would happen, Youshu still felt very sad.But in his previous life, he understood that tears are the most useless thing, even if they flow down, they will not be able to move those who cannot be moved.They may feel guilty, but that is only for a while. Once the issue of their own safety is involved, everyone will choose to be hard-hearted.

He didn't cry, and naturally he didn't beg or even beg for mercy. He just bit off a candied haws silently, then turned and left. As for the heartache that Ah Da said, he heard it but didn't understand it.His feelings for his master have not reached the level they imagined. There may be liking, respect, dependence, and gratitude, but there is absolutely no deep love.Children who grow up in the last days never know what it's like to love and be loved.

Ah Da looked at his thin and frail figure minus gradually moving away, and could not bear it in his eyes.He took a step forward and said comfortingly, "Youshu, you are different from us. You are free, and you have more choices besides staying with your master. You are so smart, what is wrong with you? Go, go back and think about it." Whatever you want to do, what you like to do, one day you will find that in this world, no one can live without it.”

Having said that, his fear of the young man has not diminished in the slightest.Driving it away from the master's side is the first step, and then he will send people to monitor it every day, and kill him immediately if there is any change in the other party.What happened these days was enough to make him realize the unpredictability and power of ghosts and gods.And the young man who can control ghosts and gods is undoubtedly a more dangerous person.

Youshu didn't look back, didn't answer, just waved her hands casually.

Having fought with debt collector ghosts for more than ten years, he is naturally very sensitive to the surrounding environment, and soon realized that someone was watching him.He felt cold at first, but then he took it for granted, so let's just watch him, since he won't harm his master anyway.Thinking of this, he walked into a restaurant, ready to have a big meal to relieve the sadness in his heart.

He comes from the end of the world, living day to day, apart from thinking about how to have enough food, he never has the leisure to think about the philosophy of life, let alone hurt the spring and autumn, and look at himself.This is a good thing for him, because the suffering makes him strong enough, but it is also a bad thing, because the precarious life makes him never grow up.

Appropriate suffering can promote the growth of the mind, but there are too many sufferings, so many that in addition to trying to live in the present, they are not even qualified to look forward to the future, so how can the mind mature?Youshu lived to fifteen in his previous life, and now he has grown to sixteen. He is 31 years old in total, but he only has a huge and complicated knowledge system and various survival skills in his head, and he has no mature ideas. .

He lived a very simple and pure life. Apart from protecting his life and filling his stomach, he never thought about what path he should take in the future, because people in the last days were not qualified to mention the future.But now, sitting alone by the window, looking at the bustling crowd below, he suddenly realized that in a different world, maybe he should think about it seriously.

Putting your life on a certain person will only lead to disappointment in the end.Youshu once again verified this saying that was widely circulated in the last days.He clenched his fist with his left hand, beat the palm of his right hand, and murmured, "Fortunately, it's not too late to correct this mistake. I have to leave my master and live a new life. I have already paid off what I owed him."

He nodded heavily, and then took a big gulp of food, all the gloom between his brows and eyes dissipated.

At this time, someone from the next table sighed, "This boiled fish dish is not authentic, it is almost the same as the one I ate in Shuzhou!"

"Have you ever been to Shuzhou? I heard that the roads there are very difficult and dangerous." Someone next to him struck up a conversation.

"I'm a traveling merchant, and I've never been anywhere. Not only in Shuzhou, but also in Yunnan and Guizhou, the mountain roads are also full of dangers. Every time I pass by, it's like a life-threatening struggle. Fortunately, I can taste the unique food there, which is also considered Solace."

All foodies are connected with each other, and Youshu was deeply touched after hearing the last words of this peddler.In fact, he didn't want to take the imperial examination, nor did he want to become an official, especially now in order to stay away from his master, so that he could rest assured, and he couldn't sway under his nose, so leaving Shangjing was the only choice.

But where to go after leaving?What are you doing?This became Youshu's biggest worry.One word awakened the dreamer, and he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Only life and food can't be let down. Well, I also want to travel all over the world and eat all the food." The words swept away the dishes on the table like wind and clouds, and I went home to pack my luggage went.

Hearing that her son was going to leave Shangjing, Song couldn't accept it for a while.But she is a woman from a family, and it is difficult for her to walk, so it is difficult for her to adapt to the life of no fixed place and ups and downs, so she has to compromise.It might be a good thing to stay away from the new emperor. There are undercurrents in the court and intrigues. With Shu's stubborn temperament, something will happen sooner or later.She hoped that her son would be safe and healthy. As for the prosperity, wealth and wealth, they were all just a fleeting moment.

"Everywhere I go, I write a letter to my mother to tell her I'm safe. If I'm tired, I'll come back. You don't have to come back if you don't want to, and you can pick up your mother." Song stood at the gate of the city and waved her hands frequently.

Youshu nodded in agreement while driving the ox cart forward. After leaving Shili Pavilion, seeing no one around, she got into the shed to sleep and changed the water ghost to drive the cart.Walking to the narrow mountain road, a skinny old man in ragged clothes blocked the way in front of him, begging, "This kind man in the car, the old package was snatched by monkeys and hung on the tree, can you please help me take it down?"

Youshu poked her head to look, and saw that he took out a dry and hard bun from his arms, and continued, "I don't have any good things, I only have this dry food, and I will give it to kind people as a reward."

With such a shabby reward, ordinary people would definitely slap him in the face, but Youshu, who came from the end of the world, would not refuse any food.He immediately jumped out of the car, rolled up his sleeves and tied up his clothes, and said flatly, "Which tree is the package hanging on?"
