The art of witchcraft, also known as the art of overpowering, has many types, the most typical of which is the art of overpowering with puppets.
A small doll is made of mud or straw, and the enemy's birthday and birth date are written on it. Then a curse ceremony is performed, a steel needle is inserted into the body of the small doll, and then it is put in a box and buried at a planned location.
It is said that if you do this, the cursed person will be plagued by bad luck and disease, and will die soon!
This kind of harmful witchcraft is not only hated by the people, but also a taboo among the royal family. It has caused many unjust, false and wrong cases and murders, and has harmed countless people.
For example, in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to frame the prince Liu Ju, the female officials Jiang Chong, Su Wen and others secretly buried a doll in the prince's womb, and falsely accused the prince of cursing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Unable to defend himself, Prince Liu Zhi was forced to send troops to kill Jiang Chong.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not know the truth and thought that the prince was plotting rebellion, so he mobilized the army to suppress it and started a huge melee in Chang'an City.
As a result of the melee, Queen Wei Zifu hanged himself, and Prince Liu Zheng was defeated and fled. Later, when he was desperate, he also hanged himself and died. Tens of thousands of people died due to the implication, and people were panicked and the political situation was turbulent. This is a famous witchcraft in history. Disaster!
In the third year of Emperor Hongjia's reign in the Han Dynasty, Zhao Feiyan reported that Queen Xu was practicing witchcraft in the harem. Queen Xu was deposed and died shortly afterwards.
In the sixth year of Yonghui reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, someone reported that Queen Wang was practicing witchcraft. Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty was furious. Soon, Queen Wang was deposed and later tortured to death. Many people were implicated!
…
All these are countless!
Nowadays, the doll Yasheng was found in Prince Qin's palace, buried in the northeast corner outside Chengyun Hall, facing the direction of the capital!
The little doll looks like a young man, and the talisman next to it has the writings of Xinhai and Gengyin. The birthday of the current Emperor Chongzhen is exactly the year of Xinhai, the month of Gengyin, the day of Yiwei, and the day of Jimao!
Putting these together, people can't help but seriously suspect that the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, has a disobedient heart and secretly used witchcraft to curse the current emperor, intending to rebel and seize the world!
Looking at the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, although this guy is a big idiot, he also knows the power of witchcraft. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and sweated like rain. Then he shouted at the top of his voice: "Master Yang, you are wronged. I am wronged." Ah... I am loyal to the emperor and have no intention of rebelliousness. This puppet was not buried by me. Someone is framing me, framing me!"
"The things were dug out in the palace. Whether it is a frame-up or not, the Holy One will decide... Come here, surround the palace of Prince Qin, collect weapons, monitor day and night, and don't allow anyone to enter or exit at will!"
"Honor your orders!"
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, put away the golden nanmu box with a gloomy face and took the people back to the post house.
Qin Feng commanded the soldiers to collect all the weapons of the guards in Prince Qin's palace, then surrounded the palace, controlled the front and rear gates, strictly prohibited entry and exit at will, and then returned to Yuhuchun Teahouse!
…………
Late at night, at the second watch, dark clouds cover the moon.
In the Tianzi No. 1 private room of Yuhuchun Tea House, Qin Feng did not rest, but sat next to the candlelight, holding a Song Dynasty-engraved version of "Su Shu" and looking at it with relish. He also drank two sips of strong tea from time to time to refresh himself. .
Stay up late and read at night to learn?
No.
Reading is false, waiting for others is true.
Will anyone come to visit me in the middle of the night?
Will do.
Sure enough, after a while, some soldiers came in and reported that Gao Youpeng, an official of the Prince of Qin's palace, asked to see him.
Qin Feng nodded and motioned to bring the person over.
Soon, Gao Youpeng came to the private room, wearing black clothes that were suitable for walking at night, and holding a black camphor wood box in his arms. It looked heavy, and he didn't know what was inside.
"I have seen General Qin, and I am causing you trouble late at night. I hope you will forgive me!"
"It's okay, please sit down!"
"Thank you, General!"
"Gao Qianhu came here late at night and I don't know why?"
"To be honest,
I'm here to deliver something to the General! "
While talking, Gao Youpeng placed the wooden box on the table, took out the key and opened the copper lock on it, and then opened the lid of the box. Under the candlelight, the inside was colorful and beautiful.
It turns out that the wooden box is filled with Dongzhu, agate, cat's eye, jade, emerald, chicken blood stone, field yellow stone...all rare treasures.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this box of treasures were sold, it would be worth more than one million taels of silver!
"Gao Qianhu, what does this mean?"
"To be honest, His Highness the King of Qin asked his subordinates to give this to the General as a reward for the General and the soldiers of the Tianwei Army for their help in rescuing the siege. I hope you will accept it!"
When the rogue army besieged the city of Xi'an, the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, was worried about his life. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so he made a promise that if the army could defeat the rogue bandits and relieve the siege of Xi'an, he would take it. Give out millions of silver to reward meritorious soldiers!
Afterwards, Qin Feng led the soldiers of the Tianwei Army, risking their lives and fighting bloody battles to defeat the rogue army and relieve the siege of Xi'an.
However, after the siege was lifted, King Qin Zhu Cunshu remained silent about the millions of silver rewards to the soldiers, as if he had never mentioned it before.
Qin Feng did not pursue the case, because the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, obviously wanted to break his promise, and the pursuit would be in vain. Instead, he would bring humiliation to himself.
Unexpectedly, tonight, the millions of silver promised were delivered.
Of course, King Qin Zhu Cunshu sent someone to send this box of treasures worth millions of silver. It was not because of his conscience that he discovered it, but because he had other purposes. Qin Feng knew this!
"Gao Qianhu, this box of treasures is probably not just to reward the soldiers for their efforts in rescuing the siege, right?"
"Hey, I didn't say anything secretly in front of Mingren. I sent a box of treasures here tonight. Actually, I wanted to ask General Qin to take action and save my Highness. My Highness was wronged!"
…
Was the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, wronged?
injustice!
Qin Feng also knew this very well, because he planned and promoted the whole thing behind the scenes!
After the war, there were countless victims who were in urgent need of money and food relief, but the treasury was empty and there was no money or food at all.
In the palace of Prince Qin, there are mountains of gold and silver, warehouses of rice and flour, and herds of mules and horses... and it also occupies a large amount of cultivated fields, mountains, rivers, and lakes. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the richest vassal in the world.
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, came to visit many times and begged the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, to provide some money and food to relieve the victims, but he was always rejected and humiliated.
Seeing this, he planned the royal family's children to besiege the post house, and put a big label on the head of the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, as "having evil intentions and intending to rebel"!
A big hat alone could not kill the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, so he took advantage of the opportunity to attend a banquet and asked the mouse to secretly bury the box containing the little clay figurine in the Prince of Qin's palace, and then searched it out in public, which was equivalent to detaining it again. A big hat.
The two big hats were stacked on top of each other. The King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, was speechless and could not explain clearly. He was even more frightened to death, so he reluctantly asked Gao Youpeng to send him a box of treasures, hoping to find a way out!
Qin Feng would naturally not refuse a box full of treasures. It was just used to pay military salaries, expand military equipment, and enhance his own strength. However, it was far from enough. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to seize the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, like a toad. Take out the urine and hold it clean.
"Well, if you want to save His Highness the King of Qin, it's actually not that difficult!"
"Oh, General, what's your clever plan?"
"Haha, since ancient times, when a ruler doubts his ministers, he first doubts his strength, and then doubts his heart. Those who are willing and powerless will live, and those who are strong but have no intention will die. Do you understand this truth?"
"I understand, I understand, what do you mean, General?"
"The Prince of Qin's palace is the richest in the world. He owns countless gold, silver, grain, mules, horses, and fields. If it is used to recruit soldiers and horses, it will be enough to run rampant in the world. Faced with such a situation, how can the Holy One not be suspicious?
Similarly, if His Highness the King of Qin can donate all the wealth in the palace to the court to use it to fight off the barbarians and save the people at home, to show that he has no intention of rebelliousness, then the Holy Spirit will
Once your doubts are gone, you will definitely be given a lighter sentence! "
"Ah, my Highness has always loved money. If he donated all the wealth in the palace, wouldn't it cost His Highness half his life?"
"Hmph, half a life is better than a whole life. If you don't have a life, what's the use of having more wealth? Doesn't it belong to someone else in the end?"
"That's right. It seems that this is the only way. I will go back and persuade His Highness to give up your wealth to save your life!"
Gao Youpeng sighed and nodded in approval.
"Besieging the post house, raising a rebel flag, using witchcraft and conspiracy to harm people, these two things are too big. Just donating wealth may not completely prove your innocence. It is best to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and prove that King Qin Your Highness has been framed, that way you will be safe!"
"Where is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"The mastermind who can secretly bury witchcraft in the heavily guarded Prince Qin's palace is most likely someone from the palace. As for who it is, it's up to His Highness the Prince of Qin to find out who it is."
It was said that King Qin Zhu Cunshu was asked to find the mastermind behind the scenes in the palace, but Qin Feng stretched out his right index finger, dipped a little tea in it, and wrote the word "paragraph" on the table.
Looking at the writing on the table, Gao Youpeng was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.
Zuo Changshi-Duan Yunliu, you have offended someone you shouldn't have!
"General Qin, I have to take my leave!"
"Go slowly, don't send me away!"
