"What are you talking about? Emperor Jianwu came up with the idea of Si Xiu in order to sacrifice to the mad god?"
Qin Shaoyou's face suddenly became serious when he heard Ling Ling Gui mention this matter, and he hurriedly asked: "When did this happen? Are Si Xiu and Qin Gong okay?"
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou attached great importance to this matter, Ling Linggui did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "The incident happened five days ago. Don't worry, when I left, Master Si and Duke Qin were both in good condition and nothing happened."
Hearing that both Qin Lin and Si Xiu were fine, Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to Lulu Linggui to tell the details of the matter.
Ling Linggui accepted the order and told the story from beginning to end.
Since Sixiu returned to the capital with Qin Lin, she has moved into the clan mansion.
In the clan mansion, in addition to a group of dead soldiers raised by the royal family, there were also experts from the Yamen such as the Demon Suppression Department and the Jishi Factory to protect Si Xiu and Qin Lin.
The entire clan mansion was built like an iron barrel by these people.蘌
After all, Sixiu was Emperor Jianwu's only surviving prince, and Emperor Jianwu's actions disappointed many people.
If there was no prince in the past, we might not be able to do anything about it.
But now that Si Xiu is here, many people in the government and the public are beginning to have more thoughts, hoping that Emperor Jianwu will die soon.
When the new emperor comes to power, no matter how bad his performance is, it can't be worse than Emperor Jianwu, right?
This kind of faint king can be regarded as a rare thing that is difficult to find in history books and only appears once in hundreds of years.
For various reasons, both the royal family and noble court officials attached great importance to Si Xiu's safety.
But under this situation, five days ago, a group of people escaped the strict traps and sentry patrols in the clan mansion and quietly broke into the courtyard where Si Xiu and Qin Lin lived.蘌
Fortunately, Lu Bing personally made some special arrangements in this courtyard and did not inform other yamen.
This group of uninvited guests, unaware of these unplanned arrangements, triggered the alarm and fell into a trap.
In the end, the guards who came after hearing the news killed half of them and captured half alive.
Through interrogation, it was learned from the few people who were alive that they were fanatical believers of the Black Lotus Sect. Because the imperial court attacked the Black Lotus Sect, they came here to retaliate.
There is a strong sense of death and resentment in these people, and some of them also possess some special magical powers, which proves that they are indeed followers of the Black Lotus Sect and are following the evil path of murderous cultivation.
As for how they managed to avoid the layers of security in the sect's mansion, they said that the Buddha appeared and informed them of all this.
After Lu Bing and Qin Qiaoer heard about this, they immediately concluded that this group of demons from the Black Lotus Sect must have been sent by Emperor Jianwu.蘌
Others didn't know the relationship between Emperor Jianwu and the Black Lotus Sect, but they knew it.
Although the Black Lotus Sect is now treated as an outcast by Emperor Jianwu, it is even being used as a sacrifice to the crazy god in the Blood Moon.
But the Black Lotus didn't know this, let alone that their Buddha had abandoned them.
Therefore, Emperor Jianwu was still one of the masterminds of the Black Lotus Sect.
Especially after the death of Monk "See You Tomorrow", Emperor Jianwu's status and influence within the Black Lotus Sect may have reached its peak.
He used his identity as Buddha to give orders, how could the masters of the Black Lotus Sect dare not obey?
Nowadays, the Black Lotus Sect has no time to take care of itself. If it weren't for Emperor Jianwu's order, how would they have thought of coming here to kidnap Si Xiu?蘌
Even if he wanted to take revenge, he should attack the bureau, the Demon Suppression Department and other government agencies.
Besides, this group of fanatic followers of the Black Lotus Sect know the security arrangements inside the sect's mansion very well.
Apparently there was a mole who gave them information.
Emperor Jianwu and the editing factory under him were the traitors.
It is a pity that although Lu Bing, Qin Qiaoer and others came up with this guess, they could not prove that this matter was related to Emperor Jianwu because there was no ironclad evidence.
Emperor Jianwu was very cunning and hid his relationship with the Black Lotus Sect very deeply.
Although Qin Shaoyou and the others had known for a long time that he was the mastermind of the Black Lotus Sect, they had never obtained any concrete evidence.蘌
This time too.
That group of fanatic followers of the Black Lotus Sect insisted that they were following the Buddha's decree and came to take revenge on the imperial court.
But they didn't know who that Buddha was, and they had no clues or evidence that could point to Emperor Jianwu.
After all, Emperor Jianwu was the reigning emperor. Without ironclad evidence, Lu Bing, Qin Qiaoer and others had nothing to do with him.
I can only write down this account temporarily.
However, they have rearranged the security forces within the Zongren Mansion.
But this time, they were not only on guard against the editing factory, but also on several other yamen.蘌
The most irritating thing was that Emperor Jianwu actually pretended to be angry and summoned the heads of the yamen such as the Zongren Mansion, the Demon Suppression Department, and the Jishi Factory into the palace, and scolded him, as if he was very concerned about Si Xiu. safety.
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but sneered: "It's true that Emperor Jianwu vents his anger, but it's false that he cares about Si Xiu's safety..."
Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing with this statement.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou asked about the situation of the group of officials who had been expelled.
Lulinggui replied: "The prescriptions left by the Taoist priests of Yuhuangguan are very effective. After taking these medicines, the officials recovered a lot of their consciousness.
Many of them saw many evil practices and dehumanization when copying the bronze "fairy books".
So they were very sure that Emperor Jianwu had already gone on an evil path and wanted to drag the entire country into the abyss of eternal destruction!蘌
After some discussion, these officials planned to carry out the ancestral precepts and abolish the establishment.
These days, with the help of Commander Lu, they are secretly contacting loyal ministers in the court and generals with heavy troops..."
Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the officials had regained their consciousness.
Finally there is good news.
But soon, Ling Ling Gui told him another bad news.
While officials were secretly contacting courtiers and generals, Emperor Jianwu was the first to make a move.
This old fox, who is good at wielding power, actually used the Black Lotus Sect's case to eliminate dissidents in the court.蘌
Let the editors of the editorial office take down the courtiers who didn't listen to him and frame them for colluding with the Black Lotus Sect, and replace them with people who listened to him.
In particular, the generals of the guards in the capital were almost completely replaced by Emperor Jianwu, taking military power into his hands.
Even the Demon Suppression Department was cleaned up.
Emperor Jianwu used the Black Lotus Sect to besiege the imperial city and Sixiu was attacked. After reprimanding Lu Bing, he actually dismissed him from office!
Qin Shaoyou, Monk Ma and others were shocked and angry after hearing this.
Emperor Jianwu had not taken action against the Demon Suppressor before. On the one hand, he had no excuse, and on the other hand, Lu Bing hid it well.
Lu Bing always pretended to be loyal in front of Emperor Jianwu. Even if he was dissatisfied with his chaotic life, he only obeyed in private.蘌
On the surface, his loyalty to Emperor Jianwu was hard to fault.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianwu actually dismissed Lu Bing from his post this time.
Did Emperor Jianwu notice Lu Bing's overt and covert behavior?
Or did he discover that Lu Bing was secretly contacting officials from the DPRK and China to abolish the establishment?
Whatever the reason, it's not good news.
Qin Shaoyou frowned and asked with a gloomy face, "Commander Lu has been dismissed. Who is in charge of the Demon Suppression Department now?"
