The reborn worthy minister is difficult to do

Dayao Palace, Ganquan Palace

Emperor Taikang, who dismissed his servants, took out a wooden box from the dark compartment, opened it carefully, and there was a black balm the size of a fist lying inside.

He carefully cut off a small piece with a knife and set it on fire in the incense burner. After a while, a strong smell of incense came out.

Emperor Taikang fiddled with as much smoke as he could see on himself, dozens of times, and he didn't stop until the ointment was burned out.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Emperor Taikang put the wooden box back into the dark compartment and put it away carefully, then he pushed the door quietly and came to the plum grove in the back garden.

This was Empress Shengde's favorite place during her lifetime. Not long ago, Emperor Taikang ordered that no one should approach this place.

The plum grove has not yet bloomed, there are only stars in the night sky, and the cicadas on the trees have all silenced.

Emperor Taikang wrapped himself in a cloak to prevent the smell on his body from being blown away by the wind, and hurried his steps.

He walked into Merlin before calling softly, "Shengde... Where are you, Shengde?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he could only hear a soft moan from the depths of Merlin, "Your Majesty." Emperor Taikang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked towards that place.

In the depths of the plum grove, there is a woman in white with long hair reaching her waist, smiling charmingly, and looking at Emperor Taikang with a steady smile. Her appearance is exactly the same as that of Empress Shengde hanging in his room when she was alive!

Emperor Taikang even quickened his pace a few steps, rushed directly to the woman, and hugged her, "Shengde, I haven't seen you in ten days, I miss you so much."

The woman smiled coquettishly, and lightly patted Emperor Taikang on the shoulder, "Your Majesty, let me go, where is your usual demeanor? Why didn't I realize that you were still so frizzy before I was alive."

"That's because I tried my best to restrain myself at that time." Emperor Taikang let go of the woman, staring blankly at the face that had appeared countless times in his dreams, "If I had known that you would... I would have loved you with all my might... , how could you leave with regrets."

There was a trace of sadness on the woman's brows, "I'm just sorry for my Chen'er. He was only eight years old when my concubine left. Since then, he has struggled to gain power in this cannibalistic harem, and my concubine has seen it all." Yes. But people and ghosts have different ways, I am obviously by his side, but I can't help him with anything, I can only watch others bully our Chen'er."

Seeing this, Emperor Taikang took the woman into his arms again, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, Chen'er is much better than my father, and now he is only 19 years old, and he is already firmly established in the court, you don't need to worry too much. "

With tears in the woman's eyes, she raised her head and kissed Emperor Taikang's chin lightly, "Your Majesty, I can still talk to His Majesty like this again in this life. I have no regrets in my heart... I forced myself to stay in Yangjian because of an obsession. Now I have no long-cherished wish, and I will go to the underworld to reincarnate soon."

Emperor Taikang suddenly increased the strength in his hand when he heard the words, "No, you can't leave. We just met, how could you bear to leave me like this."

The woman burst into tears, "I don't want to, but I have to leave. Humans and ghosts have different paths, even if you can see and touch Chenqie with the scent of rhino horns, Chenqie is still a lonely ghost after all. , I have stayed in the human world for too long, if I never go to reincarnation, I will only end up in a disastrous end."

"No!" Emperor Taikang also had tears in his eyes, "Qin Tianjian Xuan Mingya must have a way, since he can offer rhino horn incense to let me see you, he must also have a way to keep you. I will go to summon you tomorrow Him, let him figure out a way! Shengde, don't worry, you will be fine, so stay by my side and don't think about leaving!"

Emperor Taikang's eyes were red, the woman raised her head and squinted slightly, she nestled into Emperor Taikang's arms, and said nothing more.

Emperor Taikang returned to his bedroom, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Not long after Li Haochen and his party left, Xuan Mingya, the Heavenly Superintendent of Qin, suddenly presented him with a strange object, rhino horn incense.

Xuan Mingya claimed that this object was found from the fairy mountain in the South China Sea, and it was a strange object that could communicate with ghosts.

The horn of the rhinoceros is burned, and there is a strange fragrance. If it sticks to the clothes, people can communicate with ghosts.

In this way, because of his longing for holiness, he began to retreat from his attendants when he went to bed every day, cleanse himself, burn incense, and dip his clothes and belts.

Five days passed like this, and he just fell asleep that night when he heard rustling sounds in his ears, his heart skipped a beat, and he took off the saber hanging on the bed and stabbed it.

But as soon as he stabbed halfway, he suddenly stopped and looked at the person who came by in disbelief.

Under the hazy luminous pearl, Shengde's clean and moving face was right in front of him...

But not long after Shengde came, he fell asleep, and when he got up again, she was gone.

Eagerly looking for Xuan Mingya, Emperor Taikang told him that everyone had quit, so he asked him why.

Xuan Mingya respectfully said, "Your Majesty, you are the son of the real dragon, surrounded by the righteousness of the sky, and all the ghosts and ghosts shy away from you when you see it. Empress Shengde was the body of a real phoenix during her lifetime. After death, she can barely use her soul to get close to you, but she also Can't stay long."

"so what should I do now?"

"Your Majesty, your bedroom itself is the Dragon's Nest, the place where Tiangang's righteousness is strongest. If you want to see Empress Shengde without hurting her, it is best to go to the place that Empress Shengde often visited before she was alive, such as Merlin or her. In this way, part of her phoenix breath can blow away your Tiangang righteousness, so that the empress will not be hurt, and there will be no harm to your majesty."

"In addition, rhinoceros horn incense is extraordinary, but its fragrance is easy to disperse, so it is necessary to burn the body every day, and only once every ten days can I see Empress Shengde, otherwise the fragrance is not enough, and I will not be able to see the empress."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this is a gift from the gods of the fairy mountain. Using it will only be beneficial and harmless. If you use it for a long time, not only will you not feel sleepy, but your complexion will be rosy and your energy will not decrease."

Up to this time today, he has seen Shengde four times, and each time it is only a short hour, Shengde will disappear.And after she disappeared, he began to look forward to the next ten days.

Even when the two met, he had never been so impatient to wait for Shengde.

I really want Shengde to never disappear and stay by his side forever...

The next day, Emperor Taikang secretly called Xuan Mingya into his study, and told Xuan Mingya what happened yesterday.

"Xuan Mingya, can you find a way to bring Shengde back to me?"

"This..." Xuan Mingya stammered, hesitating to speak, "There is a way."

Emperor Taikang's eyes lit up, "Let's hear it."

Xuan Mingya narrowed his eyes slightly, and counted with his fingers, "I calculated that somewhere in the north of the capital, there is a young girl in a village whose body is very compatible with the soul of Empress Shengde. If the soul of Empress Shengde is fused into her body In the meantime, Empress Shengde can return to Her Majesty's side as a human being."

"So this girl just died?" Emperor Taikang asked.

Xuan Mingya shook her head, "No, this girl was born with seven orifices and three orifices, and was born insane and foolish. We need to drive this girl's soul out of her body before we can put the empress's soul in again." .”

Emperor Taikang frowned, "Isn't that the same as killing an innocent woman?"

"But Your Majesty, she is just a fool, and the empress is born with a noble body. It is a blessing from her previous life to let the empress enter her body. Moreover, this body is rare in a thousand years. If you miss it this time, just I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years, and by then it will be too late." Xuan Mingya didn't expect Emperor Taikang to hesitate, and hurriedly persuaded him.

Emperor Taikang shook his head, "No. Although I want to keep Shengde by my side, I can't kill an innocent girl casually. I am the heaven of Dayao Kingdom and the parents of the people of Dayao Kingdom. Do I want to do it for my wife? Are you going to kill innocent children?"

"This method won't work," Emperor Taikang rubbed his face, "I order you to go back and think of other methods."

Xuan Mingya was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe that Emperor Taikang gave up this plan so easily.

……

It's night, Feifu

Li Haocheng thumped the table fiercely, "Tell Emperor Taikang that girl is just a fool, so what's the matter if she dies. He actually wants to abandon his queen for the sake of a fool?"

Xuan Mingya stroked his beard, "I also persuaded His Majesty in the same way, but he has already made up his mind, so it would be too much for me to persuade His Majesty."

Fei Yuanzheng leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, then raised his head and sneered after a while, "In this case, we will help people to the end."

"How do you say that, Grandpa?" Li Haosheng looked up at Fei Yuanzheng.

"He can't bear to hurt civilians, so let's help him kill them." Fei Yuanzheng's eyes were burning, "The autumn hunting is half a month away, and when the time comes, let Wei Shi dress up as a silly girl and sneak into the paddock from the back mountain. We will meet in one place. When the time comes, you will be the good guy and shoot Wei Shi."

"But you have to be careful, not too heavy, not too light, so that the imperial doctor can't notice anything, and you have to let Wei live well, so that you can "resurrect the soul" and become the empress of Shengde that Emperor Taikang always wanted. ?”

Their plan was foolproof. First, they used cakes to remind Emperor Taikang of his memory of Empress Shengde, and then asked Xuan Mingya to present the rhino horn incense to His Majesty.

Of course, what Xuan Mingya presented was indeed rhino horn incense, but this rhino horn was not that rhino horn.

This is just an ordinary water rhinoceros horn, not the rhinoceros horn of the god Tongtian rhinoceros.

Xuan Mingya told Emperor Taikang that "the rhinoceros horn burns, there is a strange fragrance, and when it sticks to the clothes, people can communicate with ghosts." Clothes, people can communicate with ghosts." The real one that can communicate with ghosts and gods is the rhinoceros horn of Tongtian rhinoceros, which is the so-called consonant horn, not the ordinary water rhinoceros horn.

But so what, is it really possible for him to see ghosts?

In the rhino horn presented, Xuan Mingya specially added some kind of condiment, so that Emperor Taikang could have a good meal.

Then one day later, Wei Shi was secretly sent into Taikang Emperor's room, making him believe in the legend of rhino horn incense.

Naturally, it was a very dangerous step to send the Wei family into Emperor Taikang's room, and the guards would find out if he was careless.Simply because the commander of the guards happened to be his student, he called the commander of the guards aside at the right time, and his personal guards took advantage of the opportunity to bring Wei into Emperor Taikang's room.

Emperor Taikang disappeared quickly after seeing her. Emperor Taikang couldn't see her, couldn't ask for it, and with the Tiankui incense mixed in the rhinoceros horn incense that disturbed people's mind, he would definitely change his temperament, become moody, paranoid and decisive.

Wei Shi has done a good job for so long, not only did she completely imitate Shengde's mannerisms, but she even learned her facial expressions and tone of voice perfectly.

And next, is the most important moment.

The Wei family would propose that she want to leave, but Emperor Taikang was unwilling.At this time, according to the plan, Xuan Mingya would suggest to Emperor Taikang that there was a person in the small village whose body could be fused with Empress Shengde.

But in fact, there is no such person, and this person was also pretended by Wei Shi from the beginning to the end.

If Emperor Taikang nodded, then their plan would be considered smooth, and the Wei family could live safely beside Emperor Taikang as a saint.

It is only said that in order to stabilize the soul, the rhino horn incense cannot be broken, and the rhino horn incense will continue to burn. Emperor Taikang inhaled enough Tiankui incense, his head would burst and he would die.

But when Emperor Taikang died, they still had to seize the right time, and first of all, they had to choose when Li Haochen was not in the capital.As soon as Emperor Taikang died, they supported Li Haocheng as emperor, and even if Li Haochen came back after his death, it would be too late.

The enthronement ceremony is too early, and he has no power to recover.
