Xiao Qingmei bowed her head and said, "This is a self-torture trick. I have been wanting what I should want, and I know I am wrong. Please save me, Your Highness. I am willing to give you what I have."
As a secret guard of the Hidden Sect, he was forbidden to have a private relationship, especially since this woman had actually given Su Mo a bone-softening powder.
She did not do this in secret. In order to save the reputation of the princess' husband, after Su Mo left angrily, the woman was caught on the spot by the Hidden Sect's Discipline Hall.
Anyone who commits this kind of mistake will be subject to severe punishment in order to serve as a warning to others.
They were all stripped of their martial arts skills and thrown into the animal shed in the back mountains to feed the wild beasts.
The woman was confident of her skills and tried to escape.
But one punch was no match for four hands, and she soon lost the upper hand. at this time. The threat of death frightened her.
Instinctively, she wanted to ask Su Mo for help.
So she tried her best to escape, but when she saw Song Jinxiu's carriage, her head suddenly moved and she said those words.
She was smart enough to know that if she asked Su Mo for help, she might be adding insult to injury.
The Crown Princess came and left in a hurry.
He said he came to select secret guards, but he took a little girl away.
This girl was even chosen by a maidservant serving the Crown Princess.
Therefore, the purpose of the Crown Princess's visit was not to come for the secret guards.
These days, apart from inspecting the Six Gates, the Crown Princess also reads some manuscripts.
And she had seen those manuscripts before...
Since I don't have any bargaining chips to negotiate with the Crown Princess, I wonder if these manuscripts can...
Even though she didn't know whether it would work, she wanted to take a chance.
Song Jinxiu frowned. Just a moment ago, this man was looking for Su Mo for a date, but in the blink of an eye, he committed a capital crime?
She also said that she coveted what she should covet. Could it be that her seduction of Su Mo was exposed?
Su Mo had let go of this matter, and for Song Jinxiu, it was resolved. She had never expected that someone would die in this matter.
Song Jinxiu gave her own judgment on the rules of the Hidden Sect.
Although she felt that it was pitiful that the secret guard killed someone, it was indeed possible for the secret guard to have a private affair.
Imagine that if his secret guard liked someone else, he would give some of his feelings to that person. What if that person is still selfish? Then how could she dare to trust him and entrust her life and death to him?
Therefore, this hidden system also makes sense.
If I don't care, this person is Su Mo's childhood sweetheart. If this person loses her life because of this, it will be difficult for Su Mo to let it go...
Song Jinxiu glanced at Su Mo, whose brows were furrowed into a 川-shaped pattern, and asked, "Are you willing to abandon your martial arts and become a civilian?"
The woman's eyes lit up and she kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy in killing me. I am willing to do it."
For the secret guards, being able to be a civilian is the best outcome.
This was just a small episode, and Song Jinxiu didn't take it seriously.
But that woman was trustworthy and asked Yinzong to send her a manuscript book.
When Song Jinxiu opened it, she saw the handwriting of the first sect leader.
The woman said she found it in a cave.
It should be that the first clan leader lived there and stayed there.
Capital city.
Liu Renxiu acted decisively and ordered people to re-carve the ancestral tablets. He then temporarily used a small Buddhist temple to the east of the ancestral hall as the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.
However, when the ancestral hall was demolished, the remains of four people were found in the four corners of the house.
A large number of snake bones were found under the six coiled dragon pillars.
Whose ancestral hall would bury the dead in the four corners? Are there a bunch of dead snakes buried under the Panlong Pillar?
This seems to be problematic.
Liu Renxiu was so angry that he could not eat or sleep at night. He never thought that the emperor was so cruel that he would let people tamper with the ancestral temple.
How could I, who have worked diligently for the country and the people, have such a foolish ancestor?
Eunuch Hai said: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. The princess said that the crown prince is still waiting for your Majesty's teachings!"
"Well, since he is so cruel, don't blame me for digging his grave and exploding his bones."
Eunuch Hai was horrified, "Your Majesty, do you want to dig up the palace?"
Liu Renxiu's eyes were cold: "The Panlong Pillar in the palace is exactly the same as the ancestral hall. Since there is a problem here, how can the palace be safe and sound? While Kangle is in the capital, dig it up. If the ancestors have grievances, they are all directed at me."
Eunuch Hai sighed. It was no wonder that His Majesty was angry. Who would be willing to dig up their own ancestral graves? But the emperor had gone too far.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the remains of these human snakes?"
Liu Renxiu said: "When Kang Le left, he said that all these filthy things should be burned and then placed in the sun for 49 days."
On the tenth day of the winter month, Song Jinxiu's carriage had just entered the capital when it was stopped by Zhou Kunran, the Minister of War, and Cheng Gui, the Minister of Rites.
Song Jinxiu frowned as she looked at the two old men whose noses were running down their spines from the cold, and asked in surprise, "You two old men are waiting here, but what happened in the capital?"
Zhou Kunran said: "Your Highness, you are back. After you left, His Majesty demolished the ancestral hall and blew up the imperial mausoleum."
Cheng Gui rubbed his nose and said, "Although your majesty did it secretly, can this matter be concealed? The imperial censor reported it to the emperor, and he was dismissed from office. Now people in the imperial city are in a panic, saying all kinds of things."
Song Jinxiu frowned, "So the two elders are waiting here. Have you heard some good rumors?"
Zhou Kunran sighed and said, "Your Highness, I will speak frankly. Some people say that the fate of Cangwu is cursed, and the culprit is Emperor Shengde."
Cheng Gui also said: "It is said that Emperor Shengde sacrificed the fate of Cangwu to the evil god in order to achieve immortality. Now that your majesty knows the truth, he blew up the imperial mausoleum palace in anger."
Zhou Kunran nodded: "Now there are rumors in the dark that Cangwu has reached its end and the solar eclipse is a prophecy. This is a rumor that someone secretly spread."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper with a ballad written on it:
The song of famine is sung until one’s throat is broken, and nine out of ten people who hear it feel sad; natural disasters and man-made calamities occur year after year, all because the emperor has no virtue. Without moral cultivation, without moral cultivation, the harvest of all the grains in the vast expanse of land will be lost. You seek immortality but I will not live...
Song Jinxiu's face darkened: "Where did this come from?"
This is a reactionary ballad.
Throughout history, whenever such a song was spread, it was related to the rebel army.
When common people spread rumors, they would be bold enough to directly accuse the emperor of cultivating private morals. They sang about their own suffering.
There are people with ulterior motives who will incite the common people to oppose the royal rule.
Although the Holy Emperor is indeed lacking in virtue, His Majesty is always thinking about the people. Isn't it also for the people of Cangwu that he works so hard?
Moreover, although there have been many natural disasters recently, there has not been much damage.
The drought was severe, but because of the waterwheels and canals, it was a bumper year.
When the locust plague broke out, although grain production was reduced, every household raised chickens, ducks and geese to be fat and strong.
Song Jinxiu also asked the government to purchase these chickens, ducks and geese at a fair price.
But it made up for the loss of grain and there was a surplus compared with previous years.
That is to say, although there was a disaster this year, the people still had a good harvest. So where did these songs come from?
