On the Lutai, there was a lot of entertainment and entertainment.
Unfortunately, with Bigan's appearance, all this came to an abrupt end.
King Zhou had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Uncle Bigan, why did you enter the palace late at night?"
Bigan glanced at the immortals present and saw that the so-called immortals were slightly drunk and ugly, and said softly: "I heard that the king was banquet for the immortals in Lutai. Bigan is ignorant and doesn't know what immortals are. Please be kind to the king.
Let Bigan also soak up the immortal energy and have a drink with other immortals."
"Okay okay"
King Zhou wanted to show off, so he did not refuse Bigan's request. He said to his left and right: "Give your uncle a seat, pour some wine, and we will continue the banquet."
The wine glasses were served, the fairy music started playing again, and singing and dancing began again on the deer platform.
Bigan held the wine glass and walked forward to drink with the demons.
One cup, two cups, all demons will not refuse.
Unexpectedly, Bigan had the capacity of a hundred dou, and could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Soon there was a little demon who was not good at drinking, and got drunk under Bigan's persuasion.
Bigan had a calm expression on his face, but he had been observing secretly. What caught his eye was that he was in the form of a drunken little demon, with frivolous words and weak magic power. After the alcohol hit his head, his magic power was even more unstable, and even the fox tail on his back was exposed.
Already.
Bigan Guanzhi was secretly angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face and didn't let it out.
Seeing this, Daji secretly groaned and winked at the little demons.
The little demons noticed something was wrong and quickly stood up and said, "The drums sounded in the Lingxiao Palace. It must be the heaven calling us. Let's just stop here for today's banquet."
King Zhou was very sorry to hear this. He just thought that Bigan came uninvited and disturbed all the immortals. He apologized repeatedly: "Bigan has mortal eyes and cannot recognize immortals. Please don't blame the immortals."
"No wonder, no wonder, we'll stay here for today, and we'll come back to have a feast with you another day."
The little monsters didn't dare to stay any longer and left one after another in the clouds.
When all the demons were gone, King Zhou became furious and kicked over the altar table: "Bigan, look at the good deeds you have done!"
After saying this, King Zhou threw his hands and left, leaving in a bad mood.
Bigan's face was expressionless, but he gave Daji a meaningful smile among the figures.
"Ya Xiang, have you seen anything?"
After getting off Lutai, a group of civil and military personnel waiting here quickly surrounded Bigan.
Bigan looked around and said in a low voice: "This matter is important, let's talk about it when we get back."
A group of civil and military ministers followed Bigan and left quickly.
When they arrived at Bigan's house, everyone sat on both sides, waiting for Bigan to answer everyone's questions.
Bigan did not speak immediately, but made everyone wait for a while.
After a while, four school captains walked in outside the door. Everyone looked up and saw that they were Huang Ming, the school captain from the east gate, Zhou Ji, the school captain from the west gate, Long Huan, the school captain from the north gate, and Wu Qian, the school captain from the south gate.
The four captains entered the hall and saluted the civil and military officials with clasped fists. They said, "Sir Bigan, we have already paid attention to the escaping light you asked us to pay attention to. Four hundred and fifteen escaping lights came from the sky above the imperial city.
Then it came out, and finally gathered into one stream, heading straight to the southeast."
Bigan was overjoyed when he heard the sound and asked: "Have you ever noticed where it landed?"
Wu Qian, the captain of Nanmen School, replied: "The general followed from a distance and found that the escape light fell on a place called Xuanyuan Tomb 800 miles away from Chaoge."
"good!"
Bigan laughed and stood up, laughing with Wenwu and saying: "Tonight at the banquet, I saw that these so-called immortals were all transformed by monsters and came to confuse the king. Now, I have found the monster's cave.
The prime minister will personally go out tomorrow to wipe out all these evil spirits."
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all looked happy, but one person was not happy but worried instead.
Bigan stopped smiling when he saw it and asked, "Doctor Feilian, why are you not happy?"
Fei Lian's eyes were filled with sadness and he said: "I heard that the banquet with immortals in Lutai was the suggestion of Empress Daji. Even the memorial text was written by the empress herself. I don't know the relationship between the empress and these evil spirits. What Prime Minister Bi Gan said,
Of course it makes sense, but I think this matter needs to be discussed further, and we must not alert the enemy."
After hearing this, the minister standing next to Fei Lian stood up and retorted: "It is because it is related to Daji that we have to alert the snake. Otherwise, how could Daji know our methods? Dr. Feilian, you are not trying to stop it because you are afraid."
Alright?"
Although Feilian was a high-ranking official and had 1,800 households, his reputation was not good among the government and the public.
Strictly speaking, Fei Lian was also one of the close ministers, similar to Fei Zhong Youhun.
However, Fei Lian was originally from a noble family, while Fei Zhong and Fei Zhong were commoners, so they were not squeezed out by the civil service group.
"This matter is still inappropriate. That Daji is not an easy person. If she takes action rashly, the disaster will be huge!"
When Fei Lian said this, he saw everyone showing contempt, and then fell silent.
After hearing these words, Bigan was also a little dissatisfied and said coldly: "Doctor Feilian, I will take full responsibility for this matter as it is. Don't say any more."
Fei Lian Gong bowed his hands and said goodbye to all the civil and military personnel.
Walking to the door, looking at the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion behind him, Fei Lian sighed: "Hit the snake seven inches, and attack its vitals, so that you can win with one blow. Even those monsters, what if they are really related to Daji? It is possible to eliminate them.
What’s the benefit? There’s no benefit. Apart from making Daji angry, it’s of no use at all. Not only does it not harm Daji’s strength, but it will add to the turmoil. This is a disaster rather than a blessing!”
Thinking of this, Fei Lian's face became even more bitter, and he whispered: "The Prime Minister does not listen to my advice, and I am afraid that his life will be in danger. If the Prime Minister fails, the civil and military forces of the court will no longer be able to restrain Daji. When the time comes, what should I do?"
?”
Everyone inside and outside the court said he was a jester, but Fei Lian thought he was not.
He is just good at investing, and when the court is clear, he is also willing to be a wise minister.
But now the government situation is getting more and more chaotic, and you often have no control over it. You can't do whatever you want, it also depends on what kind of people the king needs.
If you need a wise minister, he will be a wise minister; if you need a jester, he can also be a jester.
Whether he is a wise minister or a jester, they are all means to settle down and make a living. Fei Lian always only values the results and not the process.
Early the next morning, Bigan led hundreds of servants and two thousand soldiers from the South Gate City Guards, and headed straight for Xuanyuan Tomb.
Xuanyuan Tomb is a place name, not the tomb of Emperor Xuanyuan Huang, but a hill.
When I got here, I saw a cave in the hill. Nancheng captain Wu Qian saw it and immediately came to report: "Prime Minister, the light that escaped last night fell from here."
Bigan looked around and found a bamboo forest not far away.
Bamboo is noble and pure, and bamboo fire has restraint on evil spirits.
Bigan's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he ordered: "Cut down the bamboo forest, block the entrance of the cave, and burn the evildoers with bamboo fire."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
The general took the order and left. Within a short time, the fox's cave was in flames.
A kind of demon fox came back last night. They were all very drunk. In their blurred eyes, they saw the light of fire. They helped each other and ran out in twos and threes.
When I ran out of the cave, I was met with a burst of crossbow arrows. Occasionally, a fish caught in the net was swarmed by three or five soldiers and stabbed to death on the spot with their spears.
When the other foxes saw this, they did not dare to rush out anymore. They could only hug each other in the cave and cried: "We have agreed to practice here. We have never done any evil in daily life. How could we end up in this situation? Although we deceived the emperor,
I drank a few glasses of palace wine, but it’s not like I’m going to die for this crime. This is more ruthless than fighting an old thief. Your Majesty will definitely avenge us!”
The flames were raging and burned for a whole day. Under the smoke and fire, it was not until night that Bigan ordered the fire to be put out.
After putting out the fire, some soldiers went in and counted the corpses. They found 415 fox corpses, which exactly corresponded to the number of immortals last night.
Bigan laughed loudly when he saw this, and said proudly: "Many of these foxes were smoked to death, and their fur is not damaged. You choose the foxes with the best color and pluck the fur. I will make a fur coat for the king.
Save it for winter wear.”
Having said this, Bigan thought of Daji again and said: "No, make two and send one to Daji."
At the same time, Chaoge
"It's strange. I feel a dull pain in my heart today and can't sleep or eat well. Could it be that something happened?"
Daji was sitting deep in the palace, not knowing that all the descendants in Xuanyuan's tomb had been completely burned by Bigan.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone coming to report the funeral. A Taoist named Shen Gongbao came outside the gate of Yan Palace and kept saying that he was here to report the funeral.
When asked where it came from, the answer was: "Xuanyuan Tomb"
