Chapter 57: Empress Qu

Yun Fenghuan was slightly awe-inspiring, and he couldn't care about Zhaoqing and the others in front of him, and hurriedly said, "What did they find?" ”

"The Qian mother and daughter said that the relationship between Shanyuanguan and the royal family did not start with the Empress Dowager, but from the last successor of His Majesty Emperor Sejong, the Qu family." Chicalyx spoke quickly, "Empress Qu was born in a big family, and Queen Sejong is an aunt and sister, her talent and appearance are both complete, and she is empathetic, at first she entered the palace as Jieyu, and within two years, due to the death of the third queen of His Majesty Emperor Sejong, she entered the middle palace!" ”

…… This is a model for our generation!

In contrast, it has been so many years since he first sealed Baolin, and he is still hovering on the throne of the concubine, which is simply a waste......

Yun Fenghuang silently envied, jealous and hated in his heart, and said slowly: "Go on." ”

"Yes." Chicao said, "Not long after Empress Qu was sealed, she gave birth to a prince, this is the second concubine of His Majesty Emperor Sejong, the first concubine was born by Empress Yuan, but he died not long after moving to Qiongjiu Palace. Therefore, His Majesty Emperor Sejong favored this prince very much and intended to make him the prince. But at that time, Sejong was already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and all the princes, kings and grandchildren grew up. Many of them were the emperor's heirs who were very favored by His Majesty Sejong, and even stayed in the imperial capital as a vassal king...... Empress Qu was uneasy, coupled with the example of the untimely death of Empress Yuan's son, she couldn't sleep at night. Later, the Taoist aunt of Shanyuanguan offered benzoin, and the Tao was able to help sleep, and Queen Qu was quite satisfied after trying it, and rewarded the Taoist temple ......"

This is the beginning of the contact between the two sides, and after that, it is getting closer and closer, and even in the summer every year, Queen Qu will go to Shanyuan Temple to incense and dine, and usually in the imperial capital, she will often send people to repair the Taoist temple and donate money and silk...... Shanyuanguan has been involved with the royal family since then.

"Empress Qu?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and asked, "Later, when Shenzong ascended the throne, it was rumored that this queen mother was gone?" ”

Chicao said: "Not only this queen mother, but also the Qu family behind her was also slaughtered, it can be said that there are no chickens and dogs!" ”

"Listening like this, this Shanyuanguan seems to be the handiwork of Emperor Shenzong, specifically to deal with Empress Qu?" Yun Fenghuang furrowed his brows, "Otherwise, after Queen Qu goes, it will be good if the Shenzong couple does not settle the Shanyuan Concept, let alone still give grace?" ”

She was a little dissatisfied, "Bengong knows, just give them something." ”

The news was a bit unexpected, but that's exactly what it was.

It's of little use to her right now.

After all, as the ultimate victor of the battle for the national capital during the time of Sejong, Shenzong had no normal means.

As for Empress Qu, who calculated Sejong...... That's more normal.

Otherwise, what did Queen Qu do to swallow gold and kill herself?

Rao is like this, and she hasn't kept her own flesh and blood yet.

"Mother, it's nothing to look at things alone, but there is a problem with people." Chi Cao said in a low voice, "According to the Qian family's mother and daughter, the current Dao Gu of Shanyuanguan has all changed in just two years after the first emperor of Shenzong ascended the throne...... Either for various reasons, or for various reasons, they traveled far away. But those who say that they have traveled far away must have left the Taoist temple, and as for whether they have gone to a distant place, no one knows. If that's all it takes, it can still be said that the first emperor of Shenzong has extinguished his mouth. It's nothing to have a mere Taoist temple. The point is that after these people were replaced, the royal family did not alienate Shanyuanguan, but in the name of the empress dowager, there were rewards every year. ”

"Since the third year of Shenzong's accession to the throne, it has never stopped."

"Even the amount of reward is not small, enough for a person who is good enough to live a life of fine clothes and food without doing anything...... At the same time, there are occasional female crowns in the temple who come to place orders, and every time someone comes, the Taoist temple will notify the palace. ”

"But what Gong Yu will do when he knows it, the Qian mother and daughter have not inquired."

Only then did Yun Fenghuang become cautious.

Judging from Empress Qu's experience, the last successor of Sejong is likely to be pitted by Shanyuanguan from benzoin. Shenzong won from this, practiced Zuo to inherit the throne, and then slaughtered his siblings on a large scale, as a catharsis and revenge for all kinds of suppressed grievances when he was the prince.

At the same time, of course, he also has to erase all traces of his murder of his stepmother.

It's just that......

It is certainly the proper meaning of the good abyss view of extinguishing the mouth, and then it has been giving this ornamental gift, what is the meaning?

There is also a female crown of the traveling party who has to tell the palace after it appears, which ......

Yun Fenghuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "Isn't it the Dao Gu who traveled far away from Shanyuanguan at the beginning, and some of them are still alive?" ”

Chicao said in a low voice: "The maid is also a little suspicious, but the little Daoist aunt who said that the Qian family mother and daughter gave them the news privately is also not clear. The master of the little Taoist aunt was originally from another Taoist temple in Qishan, and he was secretly familiar with a Taoist aunt in Shanyuanguan, so he knew a little more. After Shanyuanguan was all replaced, she trembled with fear. Fortunately, no one knew about her dealings with the former Dao Gu in Guanzhong, and in the end, she was not traced to her. During the time of filial piety, her own Taoist temple could not be supported by the scarcity of pilgrims, so she thought of Shanyuanguan. ”

"How did Qian's mother and daughter talk to other apprentices?" Yun Fenghuang was a little suspicious, it was said that even the Divine Sect could avoid the cleansing, even if it was by a certain amount of luck...... Obviously, he is also a delicate master.

The apprentices taught by this kind of person must not be good at it, where can the Qian mother and daughter fool?

Chicalyx pursed her lips and whispered, "That little Dao Gu...... Xiao Daogu wanted Qian's mother and daughter to help her return to the vulgar, or find another distant wealthy Taoist temple to settle in. ”

"It turned out to be Sifan?" Yun Fenghuan nodded, "This is a trivial matter, let's arrange it for her when we go back." ”

But when I saw that the red calyx wanted to speak and stopped.

She asked, "What else?" ”

"It doesn't have to be Sifan." Chicalyx said euphemistically, "That little Daogu's master is a little ...... Well, the fetish is special. That little Daogu likes men, so she ...... Therefore, I don't really want to be with her master. It's just that her family sold her to her master, and if there is no one to support her, there is nowhere to go. ”

Yun Fenghuang somewhat understood what this little Dao Gu's master had done to escape the purges of the Divine Sect.

The relationship between her and Shanyuanguan's original Daogu is not an ordinary friendship at all...... Then it is natural to avoid people's eyes and ears.

When the Divine Sect cleansed the Shanyuan Temple, it was inevitable that there was such a person.

The corners of the concubine's mouth twitched, and she said, "What is the temperament of this little Dao girl?" Even if she doesn't like her master, she is practicing in Shanyuanguan, and there are not a few nobles she has seen. Why didn't you choose someone else to ask for help, but chose Qian's mother and daughter? ”

"This one of ours has also been interrogated repeatedly, but it is the merit of the second daughter of the Qian family." Chicao said, "Originally, their mother and daughter were anxious but at a loss, and they jumped around like ants in the sky. At that time, this little Dao aunt liked to play with the daughters of the Qian family, but she was tight-lipped when she asked about things. Qian's second daughter accidentally discovered that this little Dao aunt may not actually like to play, but she likes to be tired of being with them, and even wants to sleep together at night...... But on her master's side, she said that the daughter of the Qian family was pestering her, so she couldn't get out. The second daughter of the Qian family noticed that this little Dao aunt seemed to be very afraid of being with her master......"

This second daughter of the Qian family is the master who pouts the princess's cousin to help deal with people, and of course it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

So I chose a secluded and unoccupied place, and had a showdown with Xiaodaogu.

Either Aunt Xiaodao honestly explained the reason to her, or she went to expose it to Aunt Xiaodao's master!

And not only exposed, but also complained to the concubine Niangniang, saying that this little Taoist aunt was not honest and so on, and arrested her and sent her to prison.

If these words were changed to the older Dao Gu of Shanyuanguan, she would definitely ignore them, and even clean her up in turn.

But that little Taoist aunt came from a humble background, and after being bought by his teacher, she became an apprentice, and she basically never went out of the Taoist temple when she grew up, and she was chanting scriptures and meditating every day to serve her master...... Know what?

Coupled with his teacher's habits, Xiao Daogu was already a little trembling, and was frightened, and immediately panicked.

originally wanted to lie, but even if the second daughter of the Qian family is not a first-class shrewd person, she is also thoughtful, not to mention the daughter of a high-ranking official, where is the knowledge and skill that the little Daogu can compare? After seeing through a few lies in a row, he shook his hand and left, threatening to make Xiao Daogu unable to live...... Xiao Daogu relented, and then, of course, let the second daughter of the Qian family take it away.

"The second daughter of the Qian family said that she had the courage to promise some benefits to Xiao Daogu first, and now she has calmed people down, and she also helped her master to continue to knock on the side of the clichΓ©." Chi Cao said softly, "It's just that little Dao Gu is not a very scheming person, and the second daughter of the Qian family doesn't dare to pack the ticket, so she can ask something more, so as not to arouse the suspicion of her teacher." ”

Yun Fenghuang bowed his head slightly, and muttered, "Did they hear about this?" Is there anything else? ”

Chicalyx thought for a moment and said, "There is one more thing...... But I don't know if it matters: the little Taoist aunt said that Shanyuanguan is not allowed to raise cats. ”

"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang became interested, "Why?" ”

This rule was originally nothing.

Maybe the prominent person doesn't like cats?

However, considering the previous matter of the three corpse insects, it is worth pondering.

Chicalyx said, "The maid also thought of the three corpse insects at first...... Although His Majesty found out earlier, it was done by Ji Sheng when he was the crown princess. But since it's a cat, who knows what's going on? However, the little Dao aunt said that Shanyuanguan is not allowed to raise cats, but it has something to do with Queen Qu. It is said that during the time of Emperor Sejong, at a palace banquet, due to the casual request of a certain emperor's heir, Sejong took the Imperial Beast Garden to pick up rare and exotic beasts suitable for nobles to raise and presented them to the people in the seat. At that time, there were birds, fish and insects, and one of them, a mandarin duck-eyed lion cat, was particularly powerful, and was smart and smart, and very vigorous, which won the attention of many people. ”

"Among them, Empress Qu and Emperor Shenzong were quite moved, and finally Sejong gave it to Empress Qu, who was still Jieyu."

"The Divine Sect didn't say anything at the time."

"But then Queen Qu swallowed gold and committed suicide, the lion cat was considered old, and after the palace change, it was remembered by someone with a heart, and it was specially caught and sent to the first emperor of Shenzong, who knows, the first emperor of Shenzong stared at the lion cat for a moment, but without saying a word, he pulled out his sword and cut it into several pieces!"

"Originally, there were a few lion cats in Shanyuan Temple, which were the heirs left by chance when the lion cat accompanied Queen Qu to the view...... After learning the news, he drowned overnight, and since then, even if snakes and rats are rampant, he has not dared to raise cats anymore. ”

"In the past two years, maybe because of the passage of time, there are occasional wild cats wandering nearby, and they don't drive them away, but ordinary raccoon cats are okay, but where there are lion cats, they will never dare to let go."

The corners of Yun Fenghuang's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, this Divine Sect First Emperor, everyone knows that when he was the prince, he didn't have a good life.

It's not good to look at it now.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be for a lion cat, and many years later, he would still be angry and killed in public.

To be honest, this move is quite unregal.

may have suffered many grievances and suffered when he was a prince, only he knows in his heart...... Well, well, compared to a lion cat, Sejong's huge bones and blood are miserable.

"Speaking of which, it's all the old things of the Divine Sect, and it doesn't have much to do with it now......" Yun Fenghuang scolded with great interest, still disappointed, and said in his heart, "What this palace wants to know is not these." ”

After all, exposing the black history of the Divine Sect will do her no good, what is she doing such a thing?

Just as they were about to continue to interrogate Chicalyx, Zhaoqing and the others outside were waiting impatiently, and the other princesses and nieces were also returned, but Princess Zhaoqing grabbed the door frame and shouted: "Mother concubine, are you inside?" Why hasn't it come out for a long time? But what's the discomfort? ”
