Chapter 378 King Zhou has no way

After Yun Zhongzi finished speaking, King Zhou couldn't help but ask: "Since there are evil spirits in the palace, what should be used to suppress them?" Yun Zhongzi opened the flower basket, took off the sword cut from a pine branch, held it in his hand, and pointed it at Zhou The king said: "This sword is cut from a pine tree and is called Juque. Few people know its magical function. Although it has no precious energy to fight, there is clear dew in the blue flower of Pindao. When it drips on the sword, it can eliminate demons and kill evil spirits." ”

Yun Zhongzi said, and offered the sword to King Zhou. King Zhou took the sword and asked: "Where is this thing held?" Yun Zhongzi said: "Hang it in the palace for three days, and it will come true."

King Zhou followed the order and told Feng Guan: "Hang this sword in front of the branch official building." The Feng Guan took the order and left. King Zhou again said to Yun Zhongzi: "Sir, if you have such Taoist skills, you can understand the yin and yang, and you can detect evil spirits. Why don't you abandon Zhongnan Mountain and protect me? I will be an official and noble, and be famous in future generations. Wouldn't it be wonderful! Why bother and accept it? To be indifferent and unknown to the world?"

Yun Zhongzi bowed his hands and said in thanks: "Your Majesty does not want to give up seclusion, and wants to be a poor man and serve as an official. However, poor Taoist is a lazy man in the mountains and does not know how to govern the country and secure it, so he is afraid of disappointing your Majesty."

King Zhou shook his head and said in disapproval: "It's just like this, what's the benefit? It's like wearing purple and gold, having a wife and a shadow, and having endless enjoyment."

Yun Zhongzi said nothing, and after saying goodbye to King Zhou, he left the nine-room hall, bowed his head, and went out of the Meridian Gate with his big sleeves fluttering in the wind! There were eight doctors around, and when they were about to step forward to announce something, they were delayed by a Taoist telling them something about evil spirits.

King Zhou had been talking to Yun Zhongzi for a long time, but he was tired of it. He unfurled his dragon robe, drove back to the palace, and ordered all the officials to retreat temporarily. All the officials had no choice but to retreat from the court.

It is said that King Zhou arrived in front of Shouxian Palace, but Daji did not come to pick him up. King Zhou felt very uneasy. When the imperial attendant came to pick him up, King Zhou asked, "Why didn't the Sumei people come to pick him up?"

The Imperial Attendant said to Your Majesty: "Empress Su suddenly contracted a sudden illness, she was in a coma and couldn't sleep on her bed." After hearing this, King Zhou hurriedly got off the dragon chariot and hurried into the palace. He lifted up the golden dragon curtain and saw that Daji's face was like gold and white paper. , dizzy and miserably, breathless, and very sleepy.

King Zhou then called out: "The beauty sent me out of the palace in the morning. She is as beautiful as a flower. Why is she suddenly ill and in such critical condition? What should I do?" The judge saw that the sword of Yun Zhongzi was hanging on the branch palace tower, suppressing This raccoon looks like this. If you suppress this monster and die, you can save the world. It is also fitting that King Zhou was about to lose his kingdom and the Zhou Dynasty was about to rise, so King Zhou was finally deceived by him! Don't mention it.

I saw Daji slightly opening her almond-shaped eyes, forcing her eyes open, making a moaning sound, and panting: "Your Majesty! I will send you to Linxuan in the morning, and go to meet Your Majesty at noon. Unexpectedly, I walked to the branch palace building to wait for you, and suddenly I saw a sword. Gao Xuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, unexpectedly suffering from this critical illness. If you want to be a concubine, you will not be able to serve your majesty for a long time. "

After saying this, my face burst into tears. King Zhou was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time, and said to Daji with tears in his eyes: "I didn't understand for a while, and it was probably a mistake by the alchemist. The sword hanging on the branch palace tower was entered by Yun Zhongzi above the Qi of Zhongnan Mountain. He said: ' There is a demonic atmosphere in my palace, so I suppress it. 'What is the intention of causing trouble to the beauty? It is the evil spirit of this son who wants to harm the beauty, so I pretend that there is a demonic atmosphere in my palace. If not, how can there be any reason for a monster? The alchemist probably misled me, and I was betrayed."

The order was sent to the people around her: "Burn the wooden sword that the alchemist has entered with fire as quickly as possible without delay. It will frighten the beauty." King Zhou comforted Daji again and again, and he didn't sleep all night.

King Zhou Wuzhu did not know the magic method of killing evil in the immortal family, but because of the temptation of beauty, he took down the giant sword, which freed the soul of the vixen who had been suppressed for thousands of years. Right and wrong.

Yun Zhongzi, who had left Chaoge, returned to Zhongnan Mountain with Yun Yun. As soon as he sat down, he felt his mind tremble, knowing that the immortal magic he had arranged in the palace had been broken. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly, his energy was about to run out, and the gods had no choice but to do anything. It seems that the six hundred years of Chengtang have come to an end. At this time, the great catastrophe of becoming a god is coming, and the human catastrophe is coming. The human world is changing dynasties, and the three have merged into one. I don’t know how much murderous karma it will cause. Although I am devoted to Yuzhu Although he is cultivating in a cave, he cannot ignore what is going on outside the window, not to mention that his own opportunity should also be in this calamity.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhongzi burned incense, bathed, and worshiped the Mingyu statue three times. Then he sat on the futon, silently guided his soul, and began to calculate the fate and opportunities.

Nowadays, the secret of heaven is chaotic. If you don't say it is a cloud neutron, even Mingyu can only estimate one or two tenths of it. It is still hazy. If it is true or false, be careful to verify it. As soon as Yun Zhongzi sat in seclusion, several years passed, and the world had nothing to do with him.

In other words, King Zhou and Daji, who had been transformed into a thousand-year-old vixen, sang and sang every night, and it often took several decades before they went to court in the morning. The ministers in the court saw that King Zhou valued beauty and despised the country, and the life in the palace was even more luxurious. The two men in the court, Fei Zhong and Youhun, controlled it and used treacherous deceit to make the court so chaotic that all the virtuous ministers and loyal men could not bear to look at it.

Before Yun Zhongzi left Chaoge City, he wrote twenty-four words on the wall of Zengsi Tiantai: "The demonic atmosphere confuses the palace, and the holy virtue spreads in the western land; you must know that Chaoge is stained with blood, and you will be lucky in the year of Wuwu.", This is because Yun Zhongzi saw the demon light shining in the palace. He just wanted to use the sword to reduce the demonic atmosphere, and slightly extended it into a soup vein. Who knew that the final decision was made, and his sword was burned. One is that the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed together, the other is that the Zhou Dynasty will be prosperous, the third is that the gods will suffer a catastrophe, the fourth is that Jiang Zijia will receive wealth and honor in the world, and the fifth is that the gods want to seek titles.

Let's talk about Chaoge. When the common people saw Taoists writing poems on the wall, they all read them and couldn't understand their meaning. It was crowded and crowded. While he was watching, it happened that Grand Master Du Yuanxian was returning to the Yamen. He saw many people surrounding the front of the house, and the attendants on both sides drank away.

The grand master asked, "What's the matter?" The servant in charge of the mansion told his master: "A Taoist man was writing a poem on the wall, so everyone came to see it." Du Yuanxian saw on the horse that it was twenty-four characters, and its meaning was profound. Unexplainable, Mingmen servant washed it with water.

The grand master went back to his home and studied the twenty-four characters in detail, but he couldn't figure it out. I thought to myself: "The Taoist priest who came to court the day before yesterday to offer swords said that the evil spirit was swirling around the palace gate, this matter seems to have some answers. I have been watching the Qianxiang at night for the past few days, and I saw that the evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger, and it is swirling around the forbidden door, which must be ominous, so I leave this seal. Remember. Today, we are debauched, ignorant of government affairs, and deceived by power. We are worried about the people and are in danger. How can we sit back and watch with great kindness from the late emperor? How can we be so worried about the civil and military forces in the country? This chapter is written to admonish the emperor to fulfill his duties. It is not just to buy Zhigu's name, but to bring order to the country."

Du Yuanxian revised the manuscript that night and went to the library the next day. Who was reading the manuscript? Today, Prime Minister Shang Rong is in charge. Yuan Mian was overjoyed when he saw it. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and shouted: "Old Prime Minister! Last night when Yuan Mian looked at the Si Tiantai, evil spirit penetrated deep into the palace, and the disaster was imminent. It is obvious that the world is in trouble! The Lord has not repaired the state affairs and ignored the imperial court. There is joy in the evening, desolation and debauchery, the ancestral temple and the state are in control, and the control of chaos is not a trivial matter. How can I sit back and watch this special memorial? Thousands of emperors dare to tell the emperor to listen to it. What do you think of it? "

Shang Rong nodded when he heard the words, and said to Du Yuanxian with a thoughtful expression: "Since the Grand Master has this chapter, how can I sit back and watch? The emperor has not been in the palace for several days, so it is difficult to read it in person; today I and the Grand Master went to the inner court to see him. How’s the performance?”

Shang Rong saw it in his eyes and worried about King Zhou's waste of government affairs. This is a lesson from history. After the establishment of Xia Dynasty, he was unfavorable to beauties, valued luxury and despised virtuous people, which caused Xia to perish in Shang Dynasty. Now King Zhou is similar to Jie of Xia, but there are sages from the west, and their names are spread all over the world. If King Zhou follows this, Zhou will not be far away from taking Shang and replacing him. Thinking of this, Shang Rong entered the Nine Halls, passed Longde Hall, Xianqing Hall, Xishan Hall, and then passed the palace buildings.

When Shang Rong met Feng Yuguan, Feng Yuguan bowed his hands and said, "Old Prime Minister! This Shouxian Palace is the forbidden gate, the Holy Gong's dormitory. Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter here." Shang Rong saw that Feng Yuguan was in a dilemma. He nodded and said, "How could I not know? You tell me: 'Shang Rong awaits the decree.' We will wait until the king decides, and I will not put you in trouble!"

The imperial officer then entered the palace and announced: "Prime Minister Shang Rong is waiting for the decree." King Zhou was not happy and frowned and said: "Shang Rong has come to see me for any reason. But although he is a foreign official, he is a veteran of three generations. , you can order him to come in."

Life: "Xuan Shang Rong."

Shang Rong entered the palace, addressed himself as "Your Majesty" and bowed down in front of the steps. After seeing this, King Zhou asked: "What is the urgent memorial, Prime Minister? Come to see me in the palace."

Shang Rong started: "Du Yuanxian, the official in charge of Tiantai, looked up at the Qianxiang last night and saw evil spirits shining on the golden tower, and disaster was imminent. Yuanxian is a veteran of three generations, your majesty's hero, sitting back and watching undefeated. What's wrong with your majesty? Set up a court and ignore the affairs of the state? Sitting in the deep palace, making all the palaces worry about it day and night. This minister does not avoid the ax and the ax, but is not trying to be upright and beg to be heard by the emperor. After receiving the case, King Zhou started to watch. A little bit:

"Du Yuanxian, the minister in charge of the Tiantai Department, sent a memorial to protect the country and the people, and asked him to get rid of the evil spirits so as to stabilize the social affairs of the clan: I heard: 'When the country is about to prosper, auspiciousness will appear; when the country is about to perish, evildoers will arise.' Chen Yuan Watching the Qian Dynasty at night, I saw an ominous fog, a demonic light surrounding the inner hall, and a gloomy atmosphere shrouding the deep palace. My son, I saw the evil spirit permeating the palace and used the wooden sword to suppress the evil spirits. I heard that your majesty burned the wooden sword and did not listen to the words of the great sage, so the evil spirit became strong again. One day, it soared into the sky and penetrated the ox. The disaster was not small. . I thought: Since Su Hu entered the imperial family, His Majesty's court affairs have not been in order, and the imperial court has become dusty; the grass under Danqi has sprouted, and the moss in front of the imperial steps has been in chaos. Although all officials are disappointed, Your Majesty is greedy for beauty, and enjoys himself day and night, but the king and his ministers will not be able to do so, and they will be like clouds covering the sun. When will you be so happy to be married, and see you again in peace and tranquility? If your words are correct, I hope your majesty will send you your message soon and implement it as soon as possible. I am very anxious to hear the news."

After King Zhou finished reading, he thought to himself: "It's a very good thing to say. Just because this book contains the story of Yun Zhongzi exterminating demons, the Sumei people almost lost their lives the day before yesterday. With God's blessing, the burning sword will be safe."

Today, it was said that demons were in the palace. King Zhou looked back and asked Daji: "Du Yuanxi wrote a letter and mentioned that demons are invading. What is the reason for this statement?" Daji went up and knelt down and said: "The day before yesterday, Yun Zhongzi was traveling. The magician Fang falsely confuses the saints and destabilizes the people. This is the evil talk that brings chaos to the country. Now Du Yuanming is using this falsehood to confuse the people and cause trouble. The people are extremely stupid and turn around this evil talk. , Those who do not panic will panic, and those who do not panic will chaos; as a result, the people will not be able to calm down, and chaos will naturally occur. !”

King Zhou couldn't help feeling relieved, and said with great joy: "The beauty's words are very true." Therefore, he ordered to pass on the decree: "Show Du Yuanxian's owl's head to the public to warn against evil talk."

Prime Minister Shang Rong was shocked when he received the order. He quickly knelt down to King Zhou and said, "Your Majesty! This is not allowed! Yuan Xian is a third-generation veteran. He has always been loyal and good. He sincerely serves the country and sheds his blood. He is nothing more than repaying the kindness of the Lord. I have taken great pains to repay my kindness, so I have no choice but to say it. Moreover, I am in charge of the sky, and it is good and bad. If I don't do it, I am afraid that my Majesty will give him death if he directly advises me. I will repay you with my life, and I will die in the underworld. I am afraid that among the four hundred civil servants, there will be injustices, and I hope that your majesty will show his loyalty and forgive me."

After King Zhou heard Daji's treacherous words, he was already murderous. How could he be willing to listen to Shang Rong's explanation? He said resolutely: "I don't know, Prime Minister, if you don't kill Yuan Mian, the false accusations will be endless, and the people will be emperor." There is no Ning Yu.”

Shang Rong wanted to remonstrate again, but King Zhou refused to obey, but ordered the imperial officials to escort Shang Rong out of the palace. Following the imperial officer's orders, Shang Rong had no choice but to come out. When I arrived at the clerk's room, I saw Master Du waiting for his orders, but he didn't know that he was in danger of being killed.

At this time, the decree has been issued: "Du Yuanxian confuses the public with his evil words, take down the owl's head, and implement the national law." After the imperial officer read out the decree, he couldn't help but ordered the imperial guards on the left and right to take off Du Yuanxian's clothes, tie them with ropes, and take them out of the Meridian Gate. When we arrived at Jiulong Bridge, we saw only one doctor, wearing a big red robe, it was Uncle Mei.

When he saw Master Du tied up, he couldn't help but feel doubtful, so he stepped forward and asked, "Master Du, what is the crime like this?" Yuan Mian was crying at this time. When he saw Uncle Mei coming, he said in a sad and angry tone: "The emperor has lost power. In the inner court, it was said that the evil spirit was in the palace, and the disaster star was about to change the world. The prime minister conveyed that if he violated Tianyan, he would die and dare not violate the order. My loyal heart turned cold!"

After hearing this, Uncle Mei couldn't help being furious. King Zhou could do such a stupid thing. Qi didn't chill the hearts of the wise men in the world, so he stepped forward to stop him and said, "Stay here, wait for me to tell you what to do. Just wait a moment." I walked quickly to the Kowloon Bridge and met the Prime Minister.

Meibo asked: "Excuse me, Prime Minister, what is the crime of Taishi Du that the emperor specially punished for his death?"

Shang Rong responded with a grimace: "This chapter of the Yuan Dynasty is actually the imperial court, because the evil spirit surrounds the forbidden door, and the strange energy shines in the palace. Today, listening to the words of the Sumei people, sitting here to confuse the people with evil words, and panic all the people. I am sorry to advise you. "If the emperor doesn't obey, what can he do?"

After hearing this, Uncle Mei was so angry that the five spirits were furious and his chest was burning with Samadhi. He shouted: "The old prime minister regulates yin and yang, harmonizes the cauldron and the cauldron. The traitor will be beheaded, the sycophant will be punished, the sage will be recommended, and the capable will be praised. The king is upright but the prime minister is speechless. If the king is not upright, he will speak directly to the master. Today, the emperor Killing an innocent minister is like a prime minister who just waits for a moment without saying anything. He is too concerned about his own fame and neglects those in the court. He is afraid of death and greedy for life, loves the small body of flesh and blood, and is afraid of the king's punishment. These are not the actions of a prime minister. That’s what we did.”

After saying that, he called to both sides: "Stay here until I meet the Prime Minister." Meibo led Shang Rong through the hall and went straight into the inner court. Bo Nai, a foreign official, fell down at the head of the gate of Shouxian Palace. The imperial official announced, "Shang Rong and Mei Bo are waiting for the decree."

King Zhou said: "Shang Rong is a veteran minister of three generations. He can be pardoned if he enters the palace. Uncle Mei enters the inner court without permission and does not obey the laws of the country." The decree was passed: "Xuan." Shang Rong came forward, and Uncle Mei followed him and entered the palace to prostrate himself.

King Zhou asked: "What memorial does the second minister have?"

Uncle Mei said: "Your Majesty! My uncle Mei is very knowledgeable: Why did Du Yuanxian violate the laws of the country and be punished with death?" King Zhou shook his head and said with disappointment: "Du Yuanxian conspired with the alchemists, made lies, confused the army and the people, and spread chaos. If you are a minister, you do not want to repay your kindness, but you make lies and evil words to deceive the emperor. The law must be punished, and the traitors and sycophants should be eliminated without reason. "

Uncle Mei listened to King Zhou's words and said loudly: "I heard that King Yao governed the world, obeyed heaven and obeyed people, listened to the words of civil servants, and followed the plans of military generals. One day at a time, we jointly discussed the method of governing the country and tranquilizing the people, and went away from slander. Let's enjoy peace together. Your Majesty has been away from court for half a year, enjoying banquets in the palace and having fun every night. He doesn't care about the government and doesn't tolerate the officials. I heard: "The king is like the heart of the heart, and the minister is like the hands and feet." If the mind is upright, the hands and feet will be upright, and if the heart is not upright, the hands and feet will be crooked. "

At this time, Meibo's spirit was rising, and he continued to say without even looking at King Zhou's face turning dark: "Du Yuanxian is a loyal and good ruler. If your Majesty kills Yuanxian, deposes the former king's ministers, and listens to the concubine's words, it will harm the country." Dong. I hope that the lord will forgive Yuan Xianhao's life and make the civil and military officials admire the great virtue of the saint."

When King Zhou heard that Meibo defended Du Yuanxian everywhere and was not polite to his own people at all, like a father scolding his son, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Meibo and Yuanxian are in the same party, illegally entering the palace, without distinction between internal and external. I should be with Yuanxian It's a case of punishment, but I have done a lot of work in front of me, so I will exempt him from the crime and cut him off from the officials, so he will never be used."

Seeing that King Zhou was so unknown, Mei Bo spoke sternly and pointed his finger at King Zhou: "The foolish king listened to Daji's words and lost the righteousness of the king and his ministers! If you kill Yuan Mian now, don't you kill Yuan Mian? You will actually kill all the people in the court. Now stop Mei Bo His position is as light as dust, what a pity! But I can't bear to lose the six hundred years of Tang Dynasty's foundation at the hands of the ignorant king. Confused. I was in the deep palace with Daji, living in debauchery day and night, watching the chaos in the world, and I could not see the late emperor in the underworld."

King Zhou was furious when he heard Mei Bo's words, which made him look like a foolish king. He looked at Feng Yuan in a very angry manner and said, "Take Mei Bo down and hit him on the top with a golden melon."

The two sides were waiting to start, but Daji came over and said to King Zhou: "There is a memorial."

Zhou suddenly brightened up a little and said with a smile: "What memorial is there for the beauty?"

"I am your lord! The ministers set up in the palace, raised their eyebrows and raised their eyes, insulted the emperor with cursing words, and were treasonous and immoral. They are not redeemable by death. Also, Mei Boquan will be imprisoned, and I will be punished. Du Qiaochen's blasphemy will be removed." Evil words corrupt the good.”

King Zhou was shocked and asked Daji: "How is this punishment?" Daji bowed and said: "This punishment is about two feet high and eight feet in diameter. It has three doors of fire on top, middle and bottom, and is made of copper like this. They are like copper pillars, with charcoal fire burning red inside, but they confuse the public with monstrous words, use harsh words to insult the emperor, do not obey the law, submit memorials for no reason, and all kinds of lawbreakers, strip off their official uniforms, wrap iron ropes around their bodies, and wrap them around the copper pillars. On top, only the muscles and bones of the limbs were burned with a cannon. After a while, the smoke disappeared from the nose and turned into ashes. The name of this punishment was: "Cannon burnt." "

Although they have not seen this punishment yet, King Zhou and Shang Rong couldn't help but pale when they heard this. When Daji saw King Zhou's expression change, she was afraid that he would think she was evil-minded, so she said again: "Without this torture, cunning ministers and people who want to play with the law will not be afraid."
