Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 18 Weird

A smile that was not easily noticed by others broke out on the emperor's face, and he said: "In my opinion, the incident in Luyuan was only heard by Lu Zhiyuan, and the specific situation may not be as he said. Marquis Weiyuan, this Wang Jian will be sent by the Fifth Army

The Governor's Office has urgently called back to Beijing to find out the whole story and then report it to me."

Since the founding of the Dayan Kingdom, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has been controlled by several founding families in turn, controlling the world's troops.

When Emperor Ruizhong put down the rebellion, several princes died in battle one after another, and the Fifth Army Governor's Office declined. In recent decades, the Five Army Governor's Office and the Ministry of War have been intertwined with each other, and have become like fire and water.

The Luzhou Guard was an important military strategic location. Fang Luan had shown his favor to the emperor in every possible way so that he could grab the position of commander from the Ministry of War. He didn't expect that the emperor would take it back so easily.

Fang Luan was unwilling to give up, but when the emperor caught him in his mistakes, he could only secretly resent Wang Jian for being useless, so he casually played a few words and resigned.

The emperor winked at Huang Sheng. Huang Sheng immediately understood and said to Fang Luan with a smile: "Your Majesty Weiyuan, the palace door is locked at this time. We will escort you out of the palace."

Marquis Weiyuan nodded slightly towards Huang Sheng and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Meng."

The emperor stared at Fang Luan's back and disappeared at the door of the study. After a long time, he sighed: "Yao'er, the state affairs are so complicated, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the day when my great fortune will be restored."

In Xie Yao's mind, his father had always been wise and magnanimous, but he didn't expect that his words at this time were filled with loneliness.

Jade stopped combing her hair, thought for a moment, and said, "To tell you what to say to Miss, the master and his wife were so worried last night, how could they be in the mood to see anyone else?"

After the monk finished speaking, he closed the sleeves of his robe and strode out of the courtyard. Bi Shi hurriedly chased after him, and asked in a low voice as he walked: "Master, please explain something more clearly. If you just leave, which one will you count as your exit?"

Just now, his mother was sobbing in front of him, and now his father looked depressed again, which made Lin Zisu's heart hurt.

After these few months of getting along, Lin Zisu knew that her brother would blush whenever he lied, so he smiled and asked: "Brother, are you hiding something from me? Hurry up and tell the truth!"

But he also knew that Ms. Bi had been worried all day long, so she tried her best to smile and said with a relaxed face: "Mom, I'm back safely, you see, I haven't lost a piece of flesh either."

Facing Lin Zisu's question, Lin Wenjing's face turned a little red.

"Yeah?"

With the experience of being in court, I will be able to handle state affairs with ease when I become an adult. Therefore, after I had my eldest son, I also deliberately cultivated him from an early age. In addition to the poems and calligraphy etiquette that the prince must learn, he also focused on cultivating state governance, which laid the foundation for his adult son.

Laying the foundation for succession.

Lin Zisu said softly: "Mom, I know you love me the most. You go out and rest first. After I wash away the bad luck, I will go out and honor your old age."

After saying that, he bowed to Bi Shi again and said with a smile: "The rewards of good and evil follow each other like a shadow, and the cause and effect of the three lives will not be lost. The family of your house that has accumulated good deeds will have its own protection, so Tan Yue does not need to worry. The poor monk is done today.

Now I’ll say goodbye.”

Xie Yao was stunned for a moment and said: "Master Lu has always been mature and steady in the court. Just now it is a cabinet meeting, so naturally he will not speak nonsense. I saw Huang Yushi's performance a few days ago, and I said to Master Lu today

It’s exactly right.”

She turned her head and smiled at Lin Wenjing again: "Brother, do you think so?"

The emperor sighed in his heart and said: "Yao'er, the way to govern a country is to employ people first. The so-called employing people naturally requires knowing the people first. Knowing the abilities of the ministers and placing them in appropriate positions is the way to know people."

able."

There were more and more doubts in her mind, and the battle with the bandits on Zhuangzi was not worth mentioning. She lay on the bed thinking about her thoughts, and fell asleep without knowing when.

When Lin Yuanzhi saw his daughter arriving, he changed from his usual calm image. A strange color flashed across his face, and he asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you okay?"

Although the sound was slow, it was like a loud bell. Curious, Lin Zisu opened the door and walked out of the room.

Lin Zisu thought she understood Bi's meaning, so she took Bi's words and said: "Yes, all the pharmacies in the city are closed at this time, and my injury is not serious. I will be fine in a few days. No need to

No more trouble."

Lin Zisu felt that the whole family looked weird tonight, her eyes swept over the faces of her parents and brothers one by one, and she shook her head in confusion.

Bi Shi, who was still looking concerned in the clean room, actually had a look of alienation on his face after he arrived at the flower hall. It seemed that his mother must have heard something from his father before he went to the flower hall, but his brother didn't say anything.

The tone was not revealed either.

Lin Zisu was a little confused. Apparently the family was fine in the carriage when they returned to the city, and her brother had always been a chatterbox in front of his family.

Hu Bo saw that his young lady and Jade Cui both looked confused, and then said: "The master said that the young lady and the young master suffered a big disaster yesterday. He invited a master from the temple early in the morning to ward off disasters and evil spirits. He is currently in the front yard.

Woolen cloth."

"'It takes three days to test jade, and seven years to identify the material.' Since ancient times, there have been countless people who seek fame and reputation, and hiring people should be especially taboo. Some people have talent and reputation but no real knowledge, and some people can only work hard without adapting to the situation.

Ability."

Bishi said this and walked out of the clean room.

She deliberately made her parents happy. She held up her skirt with both hands and spun around in a circle, saying, "What can happen to me? Look, my daughter has grown up. Today she joined forces with her brother to kill the bandits."

Lin Wenjing hesitated and replied: "Yes...yes."

After experiencing such a big battle during the day, it should not be so quiet, so he then asked: "Brother, what did you and father say?"

Lin Zisu thought that this was also the case and stopped asking any more questions. She had a simple breakfast in the boudoir when she heard a rustling sound outside the door.

Xie Yao nodded as if he understood, and continued to listen to his father's teachings attentively, not paying attention to the sound of the fourth watch drum.

"The so-called talent is not static. Use it when you can use it, and remove it when you can't. Never act on your whim."

Lin Wenjing's surprise frightened several people in the room for a moment. Bi's face was a little embarrassed, with a hint of alienation, and he said calmly: "I said to invite the doctor just now, but..."

·But some things have been delayed, and it’s so late, so maybe...”

There was silence in the flower hall for a moment, and Lin Yuanzhi whispered again: "What the eldest sister said is that it's already this hour, and we'll discuss the matter of asking the doctor tomorrow. Brother Jing, it's getting so late, you two should go back to the courtyard to rest."

Bar."

Bi Shili stood beside him, wiping her tears and comforting her in a low voice. Lin Wenjing had not yet changed his clothes and was sitting dumbly under Lin Yuanzhi.

Lin Zisu deliberately said "mother" in a way that sounded coquettish.

Even though she was the eldest daughter of a Duke's family in her previous life, Lin Zisu was not used to being served by others for bathing. At this time, not only were two maids busy helping Lin Zisu bathe, but her mother was standing beside her.

I feel a little constrained in my heart.

At that moment, he comforted the emperor and said: "Father, the Spring and Autumn Period is in full swing, and some of the refugees are just scabies. Now that the great government has become popular and people are harmonious, China's resurgence is just around the corner. Why should my father be melancholy?"

"I didn't say...oh, I just told you the general situation today."

Then he looked at Bi and asked, "Mom, why didn't you ask for a doctor?"

However, in recent years, as his energy has dwindled, he has become increasingly unable to deal with political affairs. It seems as if a pair of invisible hands are slowly pushing Dayan to the cliff. However, as the emperor, he can only watch.

Dayan fell step by step.

During the melee in Zhuangzi, I didn't know when I received a heavy blow on my back. There was a large bruise on my smooth back, which made people feel sad.

Lin Zisu saw that this monk was about forty years old, with a tall and straight figure, a face like a rock, a white monk's robe, a Buddha's crown and monk's shoes were all white, and a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck. His appearance was kind and solemn, which made people feel close to him.

Xie Yao knew that his father was testing himself, so he thought for a moment and said: "As several adults have said, today's bandit rebellion is ultimately caused by Luyuan. Luyuan has been suffering from severe drought for several years since the year before last.

The officials acted perversely, so that the refugees were scattered and forced to become bandits. Fortunately, the political situation is now peaceful, and the imperial court has sent several well-known local officials to provide relief and care for the people, and to rest with the people, and the predicament in the pass has been solved."

Bi's voice came into the house: "Master, this is my daughter's courtyard. Do you think there are any obstacles in this courtyard? Is it a big influence?"

Hearing his unclear words, I thought he was trying to quarrel with me, so I smiled at him and said, "Master, this is wrong. The scriptures say, 'all living beings in the three realms, reincarnation and six realms, are like swirling fire.

Wheel', life and death are endless, just like a wheel has no end. Since it has no beginning, how can you know where it comes from?"

Lin Zisu washed herself carelessly, let her maid wring her hair, put on her clothes, tidied up briefly, and walked into the yard where her parents lived.

The maid Jade was washing herself when Amber burst into the door and said: "Miss, we have a master in our house!"

Lin Zisu thought that her father was still distracted by what happened during the day, so she went to Lin Yuanzhi, bowed in front of her, and said softly: "My father is frightened by my daughter's unfilial piety."

Lin Zisu was suspicious, but she heard Lin Yuanzhi say slowly: "Sister, your brother is thin-skinned, so you should stop teasing him. I just heard from your mother that you were injured, is it okay?"

Because his father, Emperor Lizong, ignored the affairs of the court, the emperor was less than ten years old and followed his tutor Ye Quan to attend to the affairs of the court.

Lin Wenjing turned his face away for fear that Lin Zisu would see some flaw.

The monk was pacing at the door of Lin Zisu's boudoir, but his eyes were looking around the courtyard.

The emperor did not comment on Xie Yao's words, and said casually, "Exactly? As soon as Lu Zhiyuan received the letter from Lu Yuan, there were rogue bandits in the suburbs of Beijing. It happened that these refugees came from Lu Yuan.

What a coincidence!”

Bi stood aside, clasping her hands and sobbing softly, "You damn thief, you made my daughter suffer so much."

Lin Wenjing still looked like he was keeping away from strangers. When he heard that Lin Zisu was injured, he suddenly picked up from the chair and said loudly: "Is my sister injured? Is the injury serious?"

Just now he was talking about Lu Yuan, but now he jumped to the topic of knowing and employing people. Xie Yao suddenly understood that his father was dissatisfied with his response just now. He speculated on the emperor's thoughts and said cautiously: "Father, please

Teaching.”

This was the busiest time in Tingfeng Courtyard. Seven or eight servants stood around Bi and a monk in the courtyard. Bi watched the monk's every move closely, fearing that he would do something extraordinary.

In the Kang Ningbo Mansion outside the Forbidden City, Lin Zisu was cleaning the bloody smell from his body in the clean room in the backyard.

When the emperor heard Xie Yao talk about ZTE, he felt a little bored. He immediately changed the subject and asked: "Yao'er, today you witnessed the siege by rogue bandits and accompanied me to listen to the memorial all night. What do you think?"

Lin Zisu returned to the yard and remembered the look on her family's face just now.

Bi's tears suddenly turned into laughter, and she complained: "You are so heartless. My master and I have been praying to you two brothers and sisters at the gate of the city for a long time. If I had known you were like this, we would have waited at home."

Lin Zisu said "Oh" and let Jade comb her hair. After thinking for a moment, she asked Jade: "Who did the Master and Madam see after my brother and I came back from outside the city last night?"

In the east room, his father, mother and brother were all there. Lin Yuanzhi was sitting on the chair in the middle, leaning against the back of the chair in a daze.

The two exchanged glances for a moment. In an instant, the monk's eyes changed from sharp to softened. He then saluted Lin Zisu Heshi and said, "Amitabha, this poor monk offended me today. Don't blame me, Miss." He looked very respectful.

"It should be noted that the ministers have different opinions. You must make your own decisions in everything. You must not listen to one side or believe in others, let alone be influenced by your ministers."

I thought it was a matter of course, but unexpectedly, the prince died before he reached adulthood, and all the emperor's efforts were in vain, so he had to work hard on the remaining princes.

The emperor had been in power for more than 20 years, and he was very ambitious in his position as prince. He always wanted to follow the example of the previous emperor Qi Sheng and push Dayan to its peak. This can be seen from the change of the reign name to "Zhengxing".

The emperor asked: "How do you know that the bandits in the suburbs of Beijing were caused by Lu Yuan?"

The day was so tiring and tiring that she slept until about three o'clock in the morning before waking up.

Immediately afterwards, someone sang the name of the Buddha and said: "All dharma arises due to causes and conditions, and will perish when the causes and conditions are exhausted. Tan Yue does not need to be anxious. The poor monk is here to resolve the causes and conditions."

When he saw Lin Zisu approaching, a light flashed in his eyes and asked, "Where did the lady come from?"

Looking at it now, it is obvious that Xie Yao, the second son, learned how to govern the country a little late. He has studied the classics and history from his masters for so many years and has written colorful poems, but his understanding of governing the country is really shallow.

The monk was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Zisu with some confusion.

Bi held up her hair and pretended to be angry: "You damn girl, are you the youngest?"

The servants heard that the master invited by the master had supreme magical powers. They originally thought that they would subjugate demons once they saw it, but when they saw that the monk and his wife had left the courtyard, they could no longer stand in the young lady's courtyard and watch the fun, so they all started to

poured out of the yard.

Lin Zisu watched Bi's departure and frowned, feeling that the monk seemed to be conveying some Zen message to him.

Amber beside her suddenly clapped her hands and laughed: "Ah! Why does that master look so familiar to me? It turns out to be Master Lingyun from Yuanjue Temple!" Lin Zisu felt that the name sounded familiar and asked: "Yuanjue Temple?

"

Amber nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, during the Lantern Festival, my wife took us to Yuanjue Temple to offer incense, and the lady also secretly asked for signatures in Yuanjue Temple!"
