In the north study room of Tianqian Palace, Feng Linwen had already changed out of his dragon robe and was only wearing a dark black brocade robe.
Gao Qiang and several former ministers of the late emperor sat on the left and right sides, with different expressions.
Feng Linwen pretended not to see anything.
"Your Majesty, if you want to ask about the late emperor's sudden death, you can check the daily records. Why summon us again?" Gao Qiang's tone was inevitably filled with a bit of yin and yang.
Feng Linwen glanced over, but asked directly: "Are you testing me?"
Gao Qiang's brows jumped, he stood up and said respectfully: "I don't dare!"
"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare? The late emperor treated you well, and now I just ask you about the late emperor's sudden death, so you are making excuses like this?" Feng Linhui seemed to be using the subject, his tone full of anger.
Gao Qiang gave people an inexplicable feeling, more like relaxing.
A person's existence can make you happy or angry. This proves that he still has the value of existence. Just like in a company, if the boss is still willing to criticize you, it means that you still have a reason to exist here. If there are no more criticisms and accusations, and only superficial politeness is left, then it is best to be prepared to change jobs.
Whether Gao Qian regretted that he chose to cooperate when the emperor was at his weakest, and unintentionally but truly gave the emperor a hand, causing the trapped dragon to fly into the sky and become more mature, only he knew clearly in his heart. But now, in such a sensitive environment, the emperor's attitude towards him is very important.
If a highly respected minister no longer has the favor of the king, the chaos in the court is unclear, and the situation is unpredictable, he will lose not only his "job", but also his head and the rise and fall of his entire clan.
"Your Majesty, I am terrified!"
"My ministers don't really know much about the late Emperor's affairs, but what they have heard is all they can say." Gao Qiang said respectfully.
The original Gao Qiang would not be so willing to compromise, but now he has lost his original confidence.
Although he controls the Long Xiao Army, because the Long Xiao Army under his command is institutionally controlled by Dongchang, it has gradually been controlled by Dongchang in many departments. In many people's concepts, Long Xiaojun seems to have become Dongchang. of subordinate departments. Originally, the power in Gao Qiang's hands was at the bottom of the five ministers who took care of life. Later, Feng Lin and Wang En eliminated many of them through repeated attacks. Now, the Long Xiao Army has become almost his only support.
Seeing Gao Qiang's statement, several other former ministers also catered to him and did not dare to deal with it.
"Why don't you tell me quickly?" Feng Linwen glared, and Gao Qiang shrank his neck, as if he was scared.
After sorting out his thoughts, Gao Qiang said: "The late emperor reigned for seven years, and for the first six years he was always strong and healthy. It was not until the seventh year that he suddenly suffered from premature aging, as if every day passed longer than a year. To the naked eye, He is getting older at a visible speed. Several batches of imperial doctors were used in the imperial court, but they were still unable to diagnose the late emperor’s illness.”
"Later, two masters from the Buddhist and Taoist schools came into the palace to perform exorcisms for His Majesty. But... with the dragon energy in the body, not only were all evils invulnerable, but even many of the Buddhist and Taoist monks' methods of overcoming adversity and resolving difficulties could not be used. It works.”
As Gao Qian started talking, several other former ministers also made some detailed additions one by one.
Everything and every scene at that time seemed to have transcended the barrier of time and was more concretely placed in front of Feng Linwen.
"Spring, the second year of Changming! I remember that it was the time when the spring thunder started for the first time. The late emperor suddenly summoned our five ministers who took care of life. As if returning to the light, he suddenly faded away from his illness and paved the way for your majesty. The late emperor was heroic, and he naturally knew that it was difficult to have loyal ministers under power. But he chose five of us, with different origins, temperaments and preferences, to work together to help your majesty." At this point, Gao Qiang actually said Nothing to be embarrassed about.
Even if some words are not spoken out loud, everyone knows it. In this case... there is no point in trying to force it on or pretending.
"It's just that before the death of the late emperor, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He pointed at Grand Scholar Cheng without saying a word. In the last moment, as if a thousand years had passed, he turned into a withered skeleton in front of us all." He said. At this point, Gao Qiang's expression showed a bit of panic and fear.
And this... is exactly what is not recorded in the daily records.
It only says that the late emperor died of illness. But who would dare to record this kind of death? And this... is definitely not a sign of death from illness.
While Gao Qiang was like this, the other former ministers behaved even worse. After such a truth was revealed, even if the king asked about it, he was still frightened and uneasy.
"That's why there are rumors that it was Grand Scholar Cheng who cursed the late emperor to death?" Feng Linwen asked with a frown, pointing directly at Cheng Penghai.
No one answered this.
Rumors are just rumors, nothing confirmed.
It doesn't matter if you talk about it in private. On such a formal occasion, if you say it, it will be like questioning Cheng Penghai publicly.
Even Gao Qiang... doesn't have the courage.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Perhaps... the late emperor really did suffer from some kind of strange disease. After all, with the dragon's energy protecting his body, there will never be any curse that can harm the dragon's body." An old minister stood up. He said cautiously.
When Feng Linwen heard this, he just sneered.
In this world, there is no truly indestructible spear, and how can there be any shield that can never be broken?
The Dragon Qi of the Emperor is actually about the same as the incense of thousands of families. This thing is poisonous, but wearing it is also equivalent to being protected by all people.
The emperor rules the world and seeks the welfare of the people.
Then the people will believe in the king and protect the king with the thoughts of all sentient beings.
This is an equal exchange.
If there is any power that exceeds the upper limit of this protection, the power in an instant will be stronger than the combined power of the faith of the people in the world. It is not impossible to kill an emperor with such a powerful curse.
"It's just that...Cheng Penghai has such power?"
"Although it is rumored that Cheng Penghai has been suffering from the backlash of dragon energy, the backlash happened later. Before that, why did he curse the late emperor to death? Even if he is a monk in the Wuyun realm, he should never have such power." Thinking of this, a strange and strange scene in the underground palace could not help but appear in front of Feng Linwen's eyes.
"What are the origins of those corpses wearing dragon robes? If we find out their identities, we may be able to solve this mystery."
Stopping his thoughts, Feng Linhui considered it for a moment, and then said to Gao Qiang: "Gao Qiang! Now it is the general trend to open special subjects, change the old method, and implement the new calendar. I am determined to leave the country and expand my territory. , to attract all nations to come to the court. But... Even so, it is inevitable that I feel ashamed of my ancestors."
"Now I have specially ordered to lead the Supervisor of Heaven, the Ministry of Rites, and the Longxiao Army to the imperial mausoleum to clean and renovate the tombs of previous emperors. When the time comes, I will personally go to worship the ancestors to comfort the souls of the dead."
This sudden order made Gao Qian completely confused.
He did not follow Feng Linyi's train of thought.
But...it's just repairing the imperial mausoleum, it's not really a 'big deal', and there should be a lot of money. It was very in line with Gao Qiang's wishes, so he naturally wouldn't refuse and agreed loudly.
After sending Gao Qiang and others away, Feng Linwen played with Kruba's body... Why is this sentence so weird?
In short, he just played with the soft and elastic spherical object, completely ignoring the other party's resistance and protests, and continued to think.
"Wearing a dragon robe, it may be the bones of the previous emperors. It's just that the imperial mausoleum is guarded by an old turtle. If someone steals the emperor's bones, he shouldn't not know about it. That old thing... is cunning and cunning, not that easy to deal with. Why not First, let's make a big show of renovating the imperial mausoleum and focus on taking care of Emperor Jing's mausoleum, and then we can test the movements of the old turtle." Feng Linhu thought to himself. ()
