Before the mob could reach their villag...

Chapter 478 Recruiting Ministers

Queen Mother Jiang had a gloomy expression. She wanted the glory to continue, and none of the four princes could sit on the throne.

"Is there any way to get rid of that ghost baby?"

Master Guichen said, "Yes, if we find the body of the baby girl, I will pray for her soul to be reborn for 779 days, which will help her eliminate her resentment and enter reincarnation."

Where could she find the body of a baby girl from more than 30 years ago?

She had been tortured so much that even if she could find it, she couldn't wait that long.

"If we can't find her body, is there any other way?" Queen Mother Jiang narrowed her eyes and stared at Master Gui Chen, as if she was going to question him if she realized that he was lying.

"Yes, but this method is too cruel."

"explain."

"If you use talismans to suppress it directly for 49 days, the baby girl's soul will be scattered and there will be no possibility of reincarnation. I don't recommend this method, Your Majesty, as it is against the harmony of nature." Master Gui Chen advised.

Queen Mother Jiang was willing to kill her own flesh and blood in the past, so how could she not be willing to do that now that his soul has been scattered to pieces?

"Then choose the second one."

"Your Majesty, please choose carefully." Master Gui Chen advised with compassion.

"Master, you just have to do what I decide. You don't need to consider anything else for me."

Master Guichen sighed helplessly and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha."

"Since your majesty has made such a decision, I have an unwelcome request."

"speak."

"Please allow me to preach the sutras for the world for three days. After that, I will follow the queen into the palace to drive away the evil baby."

How could Queen Mother Jiang postpone it for those ant-like people? She flatly refused.

"First, solve my problem. After the evil spirit is eliminated, it will still be time for you to come and preach to the world." Queen Mother Jiang's tone did not allow for any argument, leaving no room for Master Gui Chen to bargain at all.

Master Guichen sighed again, "Amitabha."

"Master, please follow me back to the palace today."

Not long after, Master Gui Chen was asked to leave by the imperial guards. Following the departure of Queen Mother Jiang, the imperial guards in the Fahua Temple all left at once like the receding tide, and the Fahua Temple returned to peace again.

The Fahua Temple was very peaceful, but the onlookers in the dark room were not at all. Cold sweat dripped down everyone's forehead and back.

Su Yin looked at the group of officials with a smile, "What do you think of this show? Is it exciting? Is it thrilling?"

Everyone was silent, still trying to digest the secrets they had heard today.

"Sorry, I almost forgot, you guys can't speak yet."

Su Yin clapped her hands, and the wall behind her moved slightly, allowing a large and a small person to walk into the dark room.

When the officials saw the two people in front of them, they were shocked beyond words, because the person who came was the grandson of Duke Su and the famous Nangong Jingzhi in Shangjing City.

The two men stepped forward and untied the ropes on them one by one, and took out the cloth from their mouths. They had been stuffed with cloth for a long time, and their mouths felt numb and painful for a while. After a while, everyone started to speak.

"Are you Prince Jing's men?" Censor Li blurted out.

Nangong Jingzhi is Prince Jing's man. This is something that all the powerful people in Shangjing City know. Now that he is here, they will naturally make this guess.

What surprised them was that the young master, who was supposed to be in the Northwest Army, appeared here and stayed with Nangong Jingzhi.

This can't help but make people wonder whether Duke Su has secretly colluded with Prince Jing.

If this is the case, then the probability of Prince Jing being the next emperor is greater.

But some people thought about today's situation and what Master Guichen said to the Queen Mother today. It was obvious that he was trying to deceive Prince Jing and let the Queen Mother and her party target Prince Jing.

If you say that the two of them are Prince Jing's men, then something is wrong.

There is only one possibility for this situation to happen. The person Nangong Jingzhi really joined was not Prince Jing. He pretended to join Prince Jing and confused everyone, including Prince Jing himself.

Which force could make Nangong Jingzhi surrender, and also make Duke Su, who has always remained neutral, surrender?

Su Yin brought Xin Guang and Nangong Jingzhi here today for exactly this purpose.

Because the forces represented by these two people, one is military power, and the other is a noble family that controls weapons, not to mention Nangong Jingzhi's move of joining Prince Jing, which will make them understand that the power they control is no less than that of the Four Kings, and even surpasses the Four Kings.

Sometimes the power of one plus one far exceeds the power of two.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat looked at Su Yin and asked, "Who are you?"

The door of the dark room was pushed open again, and Su Xiaozhong supported Empress Chen and walked into the room.

Among these people, all those who held high positions recognized Empress Chen and her face that looked very similar to the late emperor at a glance.

Those who had never seen Empress Chen and the late Emperor were all confused.

"The Queen."

The Minister of the Central Secretariat, Minister Bao, Censor Li and others all knelt down before Empress Chen. Upon hearing this, the others immediately realized who this person was and knelt down one after another.

Queen Chen said calmly, "Get up."

Everyone stood up.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat looked at Su Xiaozhong's face that resembled the late emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, is this the Grand Prince?"

"It's my son." Queen Chen said with a smile, "It is only with God's blessing that we can be reunited as mother and son."

No one present is stupid. Things have developed to this point, so how could they not know the purpose of today's game?

The death of Empress Chen in the Fahua Temple did not cause much sensation in the capital city. Many people forgot about it after hearing about it. Those who were familiar with her might even sigh.

Now seeing her standing in front of people in good health and no longer crazy, there are so many things implied and revealed in this.

Minister Bao is a smart man, and the strength they have shown and the identities they hold have made him make a decision in his heart.

Without waiting for Su Xiaozhong to speak, Minister Bao knelt down again. This time, the person kneeling was not Empress Chen, but Su Xiaozhong.

The only prince of the previous emperor was the rightful heir to the throne.

"Your servant Bao Qing is willing to follow Your Highness to restore justice to Dayong, eradicate the treacherous and corrupt, and uphold the orthodoxy."

As soon as Minister Bao said this, the other court officials who were still weighing and thinking were stunned by his shout.

Those who had originally intended to make a move secretly cursed Minister Bao for his cunningness, which allowed him to gain the upper hand.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat immediately knelt down and said, "I am also willing to follow Your Highness and restore peace and prosperity to the world."

Soon, one by one, they knelt down. Those who had not thought it through had no choice but to kneel down after seeing this.

Now I have no choice but to kneel.

The moment they knew their identities; the moment they knew such a big secret of Emperor Rong Xian; they were destined to take this path, otherwise either the late prince would kill them, or Queen Mother Jiang and her party would kill them.

Minister Bao was well aware of this, so he chose to be the first one without hesitation.
