After Daji entered the palace, Emperor Xin neglected government affairs and did not go to court for three months. Xiang Shangrong and other loyal ministers were heartbroken but could do nothing. Emperor Xin had been confused for a long time since he was assassinated by Zhunti. Ever since Daji entered the palace, he had not been awake for a day. He had been confused all day long and saw that the six hundred years of Yin and Shang Dynasties were about to be ruined in the hands of Emperor Xin.
But he said that Yun Zhongzi had been meditating in the cave every day since he came to take over the incident in Jizhou, waiting for the disaster to pass. One day when I went out to collect medicine, I suddenly saw a demonic aura filling the air above Chaoge. I opened my eyes to take a look.
Seeing that it was a thousand-year-old fox hiding in the palace, he couldn't help but said angrily: "This monster is so courageous that she has the power to seduce the king in the palace. If he is not eliminated early, he will be in trouble. The monks are merciful and look out for the poor, so they get rid of her for the people of the world." "
After saying that, he broke off a branch from the back mountain, cut it into a wooden sword, and drove towards Chaoge in the clouds.
But it turned out that Daji was so favored by Emperor Xin after entering the palace that she could not help but become complacent and neglected to wear the aura-covering treasure given by the Nuwa Empress.
It was rare for Emperor Xin to go to court on this day. It turned out that Shang Rong and other ministers couldn't bear it when Emperor Xin had not been in court for a long time, so they rang bells and drums and asked Emperor Xin to come to court to handle political affairs. Emperor Xin came here unwillingly, so he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed because he could finish reading the memorials he had accumulated in the past three months in just a short time. Suddenly, I heard the report from the chamberlain that there was a person outside the palace gate asking to see Emperor Xin. He thought to himself: "How can all the civil and military ministers still hold me and serve me? It would be better for the preacher to see me chatting and all the officials would not talk about it, and avoid me being known as refusing to remonstrate." ." He said hurriedly: "Xuan."
Yun Zhongzi entered the Meridian Gate, crossed the Kowloon Bridge and took the main road. He came slowly in a broad robe and long sleeves, holding a fly whisk in his hand. Holding the flower basket in his left hand and holding a whisk in his right hand, he came close to the dripping eaves, held the whisk in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty is so poor."
Huang Feihu was a little dissatisfied with the Taoist priest summoned by Emperor Xin to visit him. But when he saw that the visitor was Yun Zhongzi, he couldn't help but forget his etiquette. Chuban said: "It turns out that Immortal Yun Zhongzi is not practicing in Fushan, so how come he has time to come to the secular world."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his move was a little rude and he hurriedly said to Di Xin: "Your Majesty, Immortal Yun Zhongzi, is a former minister of the True Immortal from the Upper Realm who was ordered to conquer Jizhou. It was thanks to Immortal Yun Zhongzi that he was blocked by the monks from Jizhou under the city. Only by subduing the demons and ministers can the king's order be fulfilled."
Emperor Xin was a little dissatisfied with Yun Zhongzi's rudeness. When he heard that Huang Feihu said that this person was a true immortal in the sky, he immediately felt relieved and asked people to give him a seat. The two chatted happily. In the end, Yun Zhongzi said that he saw evil spirits in the palace. He came here to succumb to the demon and then left the pine branch and sold the sword and floated away.
Emperor Xin followed Yun Zhongzi's instructions and almost killed Daji by hanging the sword. Later, he was bewitched by Daji and destroyed the sword. Daji escaped the disaster, but Huang Feihu called people's attention when he heard that Yun Zhongzi said there were monsters in the palace. Who in the palace would behave strangely? But what happened to Daji was seen by Huang Feihu.
Huang Feihu knew that Yun Zhongzi was a true immortal in the sky and he would not be wrong about it. When he found out that Daji was a monster, he took Emperor Xin's face into consideration and went to see Emperor Xin alone at night, hoping to let Emperor Xin drive Daji out of the palace. The harem is not a place where ministers should come, and others are not allowed to come in or out at night. However, Lord Huang Feihu conferred the titles of King Wucheng and Emperor Xin as kings and ministers. In fact, they are like brothers and their sister is a concubine in the palace. The imperial guards did not dare to be embarrassed and went to report it.
At this time, Emperor Xin was having a banquet with Daji in the Zhaixing Tower when he heard from the servant that King Wucheng was outside the palace to see him. Emperor Xin said confusedly: "I don't know why King Wu Cheng came to see you at this time." Then he ordered people to announce Huang Feihu.
After Huang Feihu came to Zhaixing Tower to pay homage, he said to Emperor Xinyan: "Your Majesty, I came here today because of the evildoers in the palace."
Emperor Xin said: "Wucheng Wang Xiu wants to tell you again that Yun Zhongzi is a true immortal in the sky, but unexpectedly that person turned out to be an unscrupulous alchemist and almost killed the Sumei people."
Huang Feihu said: "Your Majesty, Yun Zhongzi is indeed a true immortal. This person's ability is something that I can't believe if I see it with my own eyes. Your Majesty hung the sword sent by the immortal Yun Zhongzi in the palace. Why was Daji fainted when everyone was fine?" Feeling sleepy?"
Emperor Xin was also a smart person. When he heard this, he knew that Huang Feihu was saying that Daji was a monster. He immediately yelled and cursed: "Huang Feihu, Su Mei, is obviously a human being, but what's your intention of saying that he is a monster? I'd like to thank you for your many years of merit and I won't argue with you." The man took Huang Feihu out of the palace."
But it was said that Huang Feihu was forcibly taken out of the palace by the Royal Forest Army and happened to meet Prime Minister Shang Rong and Si Tiantai Du Taishi.
Why did you come to the palace when you arrived in Shangrong? It turned out that Yun Zhongzi had not left Chaoge for a while after giving the sword. Suddenly, he saw the demon light rising again and rushing towards Zhao Palace. Yun Zhongzi shook his head and sighed: "I just want to use this sword to suppress the demon atmosphere. It will spread into the soup. Who knows that most of them are already there?" Go and burn my sword. One is that the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed; the other is that the Zhou Dynasty will be prosperous; the third is that the immortals will suffer a great disaster; the fourth is that Jiang Zijia will receive wealth and honor in the world; the fifth is that the gods want to be crowned. Pindao went down the mountain and left twenty-four words for posterity."
After that, Yun Zhongzi took the four treasures of the study and left his handwriting on the wall of Master Du's photo in Sitiantai. "The demonic atmosphere confuses the palace and the holy virtues are spread throughout the Western Land.": After the question, he went back to Zhongnan Mountain.
When Du Taishi returned home from court, he saw the twenty-four characters on the wall. The meaning was so profound that it was difficult to understand for a while. The Mingmen servant washed it away. The grand master went into the mansion and carefully analyzed the twenty-four characters, but it was still unclear.
I thought to myself: "This must be because the Taoist who came to the court today to offer swords said that the evil spirit was swirling around the palace has some answers. I have been watching the Qianxiang at night for the past few days and saw that the evil spirit is getting stronger and swirling around the palace, which must be ominous. Today, I am debauched and ignores the government; power; The treacherous people are worried about the rise and fall of the people. We have been favored by the late emperor and can sit back and watch. When we see the civil and military officials in the court and everyone is worried, why don't we take advantage of this chapter to remonstrate with the emperor?"
Master Du wrote a memorial overnight and sent it to the duty room. Shang Rongben was a little suspicious of what happened to Yun Zhongzi today because he knew that Huang Feihu was not a bluff. He said that Yun Zhongzi was a true immortal in heaven, so Yun Zhongzi must be considered not a true immortal. He must be a person of great ability. At this time, after reading this chapter of Master Du, I became even more convinced that there was a monster in the palace.
Then he said: "Today you and I will forcefully admonish the emperor." After saying that, he took Taishi Du to the palace gate. When the two came to the palace gate, they saw King Wu Cheng being forked out by the palace warriors. Busy
Huang Feihu, however, couldn't help but sigh and turned around to leave.
Master Du said to Shang Rong: "The old prime minister, King Wu Cheng, met the Taoist priest but he didn't speak at this time. I think King Wu Cheng had the same purpose as me and came here to deal with the evildoers in the palace."
Shang Rong said: "The heavy responsibility for King Wucheng's return without success falls on you and me." After that, he asked the warrior to report.
At this time, Emperor Xin was angry about Huang Feihu and heard the words of his chamberlain. Taoist minister Shang Rong and Du Taishi were waiting for orders outside the palace gate. He couldn't help but thought with some displeasure: "Why are there so many things happening today?" However, Shang Rong was an old minister who took care of his life, but he didn't see him and ordered Shang Rong to be announced.
Shang Rong came to the Star-Zhaing Tower and handed over Master Du's memorial to Emperor Xin. After reading it, he said to Daji: "Beauty, Master Du also talks about the evildoers in the palace. What do you think, beauty?"
Hearing this, Daji knelt down and sobbed: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the court must be dissatisfied with your Majesty's favor and trust in me, so they joined forces to prepare this concubine for death. Otherwise, how could it have happened that King Wucheng and Master Du had just left, and the Taoist priest and Wu We are familiar with each other when we become kings."
Di Xin hurriedly helped Daji up and said, "Beauty, get up quickly. In my opinion, how should we handle this matter?"
Daji said: "The day before yesterday, Yun Zhongzi was a sorcerer from outside the country. He made up false rumors to deceive the saints and destabilize the people. This is false talk and chaos in the country. Now Du Yuanxi has used this as a title to deceive the people and cause trouble. The people are extremely stupid. Those who do not panic after listening to these evil words will naturally cause chaos to the people and emperors. After all, it is because of these nonsense words that they will be killed without mercy!"
After hearing this, Emperor Xin thought for a moment and said, "Just follow what the beauty said." Then he ordered Du Yuanxian to warn the ministers.
Shang Rong tried every means to dissuade him, but to no avail. Du Yuanxian spoke out and remonstrated, but was innocently killed. After being killed. His soul was wandering, but he came to Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain and entered the list of gods.
Du Yuanxian's soul has just entered the list of gods. Yuanshi Tianzun already knew what he was thinking in his heart: "The first person on the list of gods is already on the list. The calamity of becoming gods has begun. It's time for Jiang Ziya to go down the mountain."
In the song of the next day, all the ministers were shocked and angry when they heard that Taishi Du was innocently killed. The superior doctor Meibo bluntly said that his admonition angered Emperor Xin and Emperor Xin wanted to kill Meibai.
Unexpectedly, Daji said: "Your Majesty, when you set up a palace, raise your eyebrows, raise your eyes, and say insulting words, you are extremely treasonous and unethical. It is abnormal that you cannot be redeemed by death."
Di Xin asked: "How should we deal with it?"
Daji said: "My concubine once heard that Xia Jie made a torture instrument in the past, two feet high, eight feet round, with three fire gates on the top, middle and bottom. The copper was made like a copper pillar; the inside was burned red with charcoal fire. But he used evil words to deceive the public and speak sharply. Those who insult the emperor, disrespect the law, issue admonitions for nothing, and other lawbreakers strip off their official uniforms, wrap iron ropes around their bodies, and burn only their limbs and bones on the copper pillars. The smoke will not burn out the bones in a moment, which is called "cannon burnt". "If this instrument of torture is made, the treacherous villains in the court will not dare to humiliate the emperor again."
Di Xin smiled and said: "This instrument of torture is so wonderful, I don't think there is such a beautiful woman with so many talents, hahaha."
This torture method of cannon and burning was done by Xia Jie in the past. After Shang Tang exiled him, he destroyed this instrument of torture. Unexpectedly, it was repeated in the hands of Emperor Xin today. What would Shang Tangquan think if he knew about it?
Not long after the cannon was built, Di Xin executed Mei Bai in the main hall. Prime Minister Shangrong was greatly disappointed when he saw Emperor Xin fainting, so he resigned and returned home.
However, Huang Feihu once again broke into the inner palace and saw Emperor Xin. After that, he paid homage and said, "Your Majesty, you are not the minister, but the great merchant. The one you are selling is Chengtang Sheji. Gu Yun said it well: 'Your Majesty's Vision If the ministers are like brothers and feet, then the ministers will treat the king like his heart; if the king treats the ministers like dirt, then the ministers will treat the king like a bandit. "If the Lord does not implement a benevolent government and does not punish me, there will be chaos within a few years."
When Emperor Xin heard this, he was so angry that the Five Spirit Gods were so furious that the three flavors burned in his chest and he cursed: "Huang Feihu, how dare you curse me? The day before yesterday, you summoned Yun Zhongzi, the evil way, to harm Su Mei. Fortunately, Su Mei has nothing to do. I can't think of my classmates for many years." I wonder if you have come to curse me again today. Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?"
Huang Feihu replied: "My Huang family has been deeply favored by the emperor for six generations. If I can use my life to make Your Majesty regret it, I will not hesitate to do so."
Although Di Xin was getting fainter day by day, he still knew in his heart that he could kill Du Yuanxian or Mei Bai, but he could not lack the protecting general Huang Feihu. Therefore, although he was furious, he still had no murderous intention in his heart and only let the warriors in front of the palace drive Huang Feihu out of the palace. The warriors in front of the palace had no choice but to beat Huang Feihu out of the palace with a club.
When all the ministers knew that Huang Feihu had gone to see the emperor, they all waited outside the palace. When they saw Huang Feihu being beaten out, they felt cold in their hearts, sighed, shook their heads and left.
Only Bigan, Weizi, Jizi, Weiziqi, and Weiziyan were left to help Huang Feihu up. Bigan only said one sentence: "King Wucheng..." But there was no follow-up. Even he didn't know how to comfort Huang Feihu.
Huang Feihu raised his hands and said to the five people: "Your five highnesses, I, Huang Feihu, am incompetent and failed to persuade the king to return." As soon as he said this, the general who had fought for the rest of his life burst into tears.
What he was crying about was not that he had been wronged, but that he was helpless when he saw Yin Shang Sheji corrupting him.
The five princes also wept secretly.
At this time, a disaster occurred in the palace.
It turned out that Queen Jiang from the middle palace heard that Emperor Xin had killed Taishi Du under Daji's bewitchment, fired a cannon, burned Meibai, and beaten Huang Feihu with a stick. She was so angry that she drove to Shouxian Palace to persuade Emperor Xin. But it made Di Xin unhappy and Daji resentful for nothing.
On the second day of the lunar month, all the concubines in the Chen Palace went to congratulate Queen Jiang. Then she yelled and scolded Daji in front of Concubine Huang and Concubine Yang. Daji retreated in shame, and the resentment in her heart deepened. So he secretly summoned Fei Zhong and asked him to plot against Queen Jiang, which eventually led to Queen Jiang's tragic death. The two princes escaped with the help of brothers Fang Bi and Fang Xiang.
Later Emperor Xin issued an order to pursue him, although King Wucheng secretly helped him, but he never escaped and Shang Rong died tragically due to exhaustion. However, the two princes were rescued by Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi. Everyone knows the details, so I won't go into detail here.
