"It's the queen, please get up, no courtesy." The emperor looked up at the person and said lightly, with a hint of alienation in his words, but his attention returned to the official document.
After stepping into the royal study, Queen Xiande tried her best to calm down her expression, showed a smile, and said in a quiet tone: "Is Your Majesty so busy with official duties these days?"
The emperor replied without raising his head: "It's acceptable."
Seeing the emperor's indifferent look, Queen Xiande felt a prick in her heart, and said with a slight complaint: "Your Majesty has not been to Qianning Palace for several days. Doesn't it mean that Your Majesty doesn't miss Zi Tong?"
The emperor said casually and perfunctorily: "Because I have been feeling a little tired these past few days."
"His Majesty obviously resides in Xianfu Palace permanently. Zi Tong knows that His Majesty is busy with affairs and his body will be tired. I don't want Your Majesty to receive rain and dew. But if you put so much emphasis on Concubine Ding, I am afraid that the other concubines in the harem will feel resentful. ." The queen said with a somewhat sad expression.
After mentioning the word Concubine Ding, the emperor suddenly raised his head, with a stern look in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any objection to my decision? When will it be your turn to comment on my affairs?" That’s right!”
"Your Majesty..." Queen Xiande was so frightened that she covered her mouth with tears rolling in her eyes. There was a look of disbelief in her eyes. You must know that for the first time in more than ten years, he was in front of the emperor. You can see that ferocious expression on his face. The emperor has become like this since Concubine Ding entered the palace.
Xian De felt sad and left the imperial study in tears.
Seeing this situation, the emperor was unmoved. After hastily processing the official documents, the beautiful woman who had longed for him appeared in his mind again, and ordered the eunuch to prepare the sedan chair.
After getting on the sedan chair, he headed towards Xianfu Palace like an arrow.
…
…
For several days, the capital city was very calm, like the calm before the storm.
However, many areas outside the capital are not peaceful. For example, demons are causing trouble in Jinling County, Nanyang City, and even Guobei County.
For a time, evil spirits were raging, and ferocious life-threatening incidents occurred frequently. It can be said that people were panicked and the people were filled with resentment.
Six days later, there was a meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"If there is a starting point, I will withdraw from the court if nothing happens!"
All civil and military officials were present, and they vaguely formed two forces with the Protector of the Country and the Heavenly Master as the core. The emperor on the dragon throne looked haggard and in a daze, as if he had been drunk. He seemed empty. You should know that he had not gone to court for five days. If it hadn't been for the invitations from many ministers today, he would probably still be in the palace.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Li Xiao couldn't help but frown. The last time he saw the emperor, he just looked a little haggard, but after not seeing him for just a few days, the demonic aura on him became stronger and stronger. He looked so weak, as if his body had been drained by alcohol and sex.
Li Xiao informed the emperor of the latest investigation results of the recent blood-letter rebellion case. After some investigation by Zuo Qianhu, it was confirmed that the blood-letter rebellion case was false and was framed by treacherous ministers.
But before Li Xiao could continue speaking, a military attache in the main hall confessed on the spot. He said that he was responsible for the bloody rebellion. In just a few words, he blamed all the crimes at the same time. It's really weird to push it on yourself.
Li Xiao looked at Pudu Cihang who was standing opposite, and Pudu Cihang also gave him a meaningful smile. It was obvious that this person was pushed out by Pudu Cihang, but,
Of course, Li Xiao did not place any hope on being able to overthrow Pudu Cihang with a bloody rebellion case, but if he could rescue Fu Tianchou and a group of loyal ministers, then his goal would have been achieved.
Those who were wronged due to the blood letter rebellion were rehabilitated and restored to their original posts, while the military general of the capital was executed on the spot.
Since there has been no court meeting for six days, all civil and military officials and even local envoys have many things to get involved with.
Just when the emperor was about to leave the court, Pudu Cihang, who had not spoken for a long time, announced the Buddha's name and finally said: "Your Majesty, I don't know why, there have been demons everywhere recently, and the people are also deeply affected.
As a result, I, the Buddha, mercifully saved a scenic spot and built a seven-level pagoda. This abbot believes that this matter cannot be ignored."
When Li Xiao saw this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"If there is a demon causing trouble, then of course it is necessary to exorcise the demon!" After a pause, the emperor faced the ministers of civil and military affairs again and asked, "Whoever has the method to exorcise demons, please tell me."
At this time, a man named Shen Hu came out and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Li Tianshi has a high level of Taoism, and there are many Buddhists in his house with high magic power.
He is good at subduing demons and quelling troubles. If Tianshi Li comes forward to deal with this matter, it will naturally be solved easily."
"I think so too."
"The power of the Heavenly Master is unparalleled, and it is naturally extremely simple to deal with those monsters."
Just after Shen Hu said what he said, many ministers appointed by Pudu Cihang agreed, saying that they would recommend Li Xiao to go to slay demons and pacify the people.
Looking at the subtle and sly smile on the corner of Pudu Cihang's mouth, Li Xiao suddenly understood. Now he finally understood why there was no sign of Pudu Cihang for several days, and at this time
This period also coincides with the time period when demons were rampant. Presumably this matter must have been done by Pudu Cihang. No wonder there was no trace of Pudu Cihang during those times, and the capital was also so peaceful. It turned out that this was the plot.
plan.
"And his purpose is to distract me from fighting those monsters? I have to say, this is really a sinister move!" At this time, Li Xiao also murmured to himself.
It's just that as a heavenly protector of the country, he is naturally bound to do such things, and he can't tolerate Li Xiao's refusal. So after thinking for a moment, Li Xiao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, curled up the corners of his mouth, and stepped forward.
He said: "Since I am the Celestial Master who protects the country, I naturally have the unshirkable responsibility to exorcise demons and eliminate demons. This matter will be left to me."
"Well, it's true that he is the Heavenly Master who protects the country. He really has a good spirit!" Pudu Cihang said hypocritically.
Li Xiao didn't care about Pudu Cihang's words, because at this time, he had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind!
