Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 194 The one who harms the King of Qin is the Queen

into the night.

Zhao Guangmei, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly heard a bang in the distance, which scared him so much that he sat up.

"What happened? Where did the gunpowder explode? Isn't Zhao Dezhao in Chengdu? Who the hell is playing with gunpowder again? Is it in the palace? Someone, come and check it out for me."

I was startled, but I didn't take it too seriously. I mumbled and put on my clothes and went to sleep.

Then, in less than half an hour, he was picked up by Zhao Guangyi.

"Second brother? What are you doing, you come to me this late at night? Is the sky falling?"

Zhao Guangyi looked serious and said: "The sky is really falling. Get up quickly. Let's talk as we walk."

At this time, Zhao Guangmei didn't dare to neglect. She put on her clothes and left. At the same time, she asked Zhang Ling'er to wake up the guards at home and asked, "What happened?"

"A fight broke out between the Beggar Gang and Yizimen. More than 1000 people were involved in the fight. Gunpowder was used and the Fan Tower was blown up. More than 300 people were killed or injured. The patrol camp has been dispatched, but we don't know how many people can be caught. "

"Who picked it? Fan Tower? Fan Tower exploded? The Fan Tower of the trading house exploded? The two gangs started a gunpowder fight at the gate of the special palace, right?"

Zhao Guangmei is crazy. This world is so crazy. The gangs are fighting. Why choose such a place?
As the most impressive restaurant in the Song Dynasty, Fan Tower is naturally also excellent in terms of location. It is opposite the Imperial Palace. With the Fan Tower above the fourth floor, you can overlook the people and scenery in the Imperial Palace from a high position.

So close.

Is this a gang war, or are you planning to take advantage of the chaos to enter the palace, kill your eldest brother, and change the dynasty?
"Currently, it seems that the reason is that the Sky Squirrel and a few key members of the Yizi Sect were drinking in Fanlou today, and the Beggar Clan... came out to kill him, and then during the fight between the two sides, their respective The younger brothers gathered together more and more, which is why they caused such trouble."

"The Beggar Clan is screwed alive, right? Who gave them the courage?"

"It should be...sister-in-law."

"what?"

Zhao Guangmei was stunned.

"Today, Hong San received a handwritten letter from the Queen. Many people in the Beggar Clan are also clamoring that their sister-in-law is behind them."

"Fuck."

"Rumors in the market, they say that the Skyrat is yours and Hong San is my sister-in-law's. Because you and my sister-in-law are at odds, the Skyrat and Hong San have been fighting so frequently recently."

Zhao Guangmei was furious: "Damn, isn't this just farting? I... what the hell, is my sister-in-law really related to these beggars?"

Zhao Guangyi shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but more than a month ago, my sister-in-law did question me about the Sky Rat, and asked me to deal with this person and teach him a lesson. Don't let this person smear the face of our royal family. , at first glance, it does look like it was done by my sister-in-law.”

"Thinking about it carefully?"

"If you think about it carefully, it seems like someone is setting her up."

"Yes, but who could frame my sister-in-law?"

Zhao Guangyi looked at Zhao Guangmei with strange eyes.

"Fuck you, this matter has nothing to do with me. Although she has always resented me and been against me, she is my sister-in-law after all. Besides, I always do things straight to the point. Such evil methods, like You are more like me."

"Go, my sister-in-law and I have no conflicts."

"Yeah, you don't have any conflicts with her, so who the hell could it be?"

The two brothers were puzzled for a moment.

I really don’t understand why someone would mess with a sister-in-law.

Neither of them thought about Mrs. Huarui, and they unconsciously ignored this person. In other words, they both thought about it, and then they both thought it couldn't be her and didn't mention it.

Although this woman is a beloved concubine, it is really unbelievable that she dares to take action against the queen. The eldest sister-in-law's father is the Duke of Chao Kingdom of Houzhou, Wang Rao, and Li Jun and his father are both close friends, and Although her younger brother was a man-eating bastard, his military exploits were real. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach the position of the head coach of Sanya just by being a relative.

Their family is the head of the Jin Dynasty clan and has an intricate relationship with the entire Forbidden Army system. When she first married Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin was not the emperor yet. This was a standard political marriage. Only with this status could she Only if she is worthy of the position of queen can she appease the generals in the world.

What is Mrs. Hua Rui’s origin?She is just a daughter of a private family, she is just a plaything, how dare she covet the position of queen?

In the Five Dynasties, there was no concept of fighting for favor in the harem. Just like the Liao Kingdom, the queens were all born, not fought for. Even if the sister-in-law's queen position was really abolished, no matter how she turned around, it would not be the turn of Mrs. Xu. To take over, there is a high probability that she will either find a daughter from a general in Hebei or a daughter from a general in Jin. Without such a background, wanting to be the queen is just a fool's errand.

"Brother doesn't know about this, right?"

"do not know yet."

"That's good, don't tell brother yet. Aren't our whole family going to Daguangming Temple to burn incense tomorrow? Let's take it one day at a time. Let's review and investigate ourselves first. In terms of market and public opinion, we should try our best to suppress it and try our best not to let it go. My sister-in-law has something to do with this matter, and we won’t talk about it until we find out clearly about it.”

"Well, that's what I thought too."

That night, Zhao Guangmei and Zhao Guangyi had the rare opportunity to work overtime together, interrogating the key members of the Beggar Gang one by one, and not hesitate to use severe torture methods, but in the end they gained very little.

He finally captured Hong San, the leader of the Beggar Clan, and even beat him to death. He was backed by the Queen, and it was the Queen who asked him to do it. No matter how many kinds of torture were applied to him, he would never change his words.

Both of them were shocked. Not even half an inch of good meat could be found on this man's body. All the imaginable tortures he could think of were done to him. He was actually biting the four words of the Queen's instructions and refused to change his words.

This... is so strong-willed that he can almost catch up with the martyrs.

The clerk came over with a trembling confession and said, "Dear, dang, dangdang... Your Highness, your two highnesses, this confession..."

Zhao Guangyi glared at him fiercely: "Do you think this is a confession?"

"Ah this..."

Zhao Guangmei grabbed it directly and burned it with a candle.

"I'm afraid I can't find anything out, so I'll just pull out his tongue."

"Yes."

Zhao Guangyi asked again: "Don't dare to talk nonsense after you go out." Naturally, the subordinates agreed repeatedly, saying that they had taken leave tonight and did not come to work overtime at all.

The two brothers worked hard all night, but they had no clue. All the evidence and directions pointed to the Queen. As for the Sky Rat, he was lucky to survive, but if you ask him, he was also confused and had no idea what was going on. thing.

I really didn’t expect that the Beggar Gang would dare to take action in Fan Tower, and even dare to use gunpowder in Fan Tower. He was completely passive tonight. After the reaction, this dignified underworld tycoon cried like a child. As if, with runny noses and tears, he begged Zhao Guangmei and Zhao Guangyi to save his life.

Zhao Guangmei agreed, but the Sky Squirrel couldn't come up with any more clues.

In this way, after working hard all night, they still didn't understand anything, so the two of them had to put the matter aside for the time being. In the morning, they followed Zhao Kuangyin to go for a walk to Daguangming Temple.

Zhao Guangmei himself is an atheist, but in any case, the completion of the Daguangming Temple is indeed a major event. In the future, he will not only recover the Ganzhou Uighurs, he even wants to recover all the Uighurs and make all the Uighurs As fellow compatriots and family members of Song Dynasty who love each other, we must take the Mingjiao seriously.

In the future, the Song Dynasty intends to directly canonize the saints and guardian Dharma kings of Manichaeism in the northwest. At present, the northwest side is doing so three times a day, and the Ganzhou Uighurs are obviously already talking about this matter. So the number one in the Song Dynasty He must give face to this Mingjiao temple.

Although, Mingjiao has changed beyond recognition after being localized and transformed in the Central Plains. It is estimated that when the Uighurs see something like Mani's Bright Buddha, those who believe in Buddhism and Mani will probably remain silent.

Isn’t this compatible with both of your demands?

Neither of the two brothers mentioned anything about what happened at night, so they followed Zhao Kuangyin up the mountain. As for Mrs. Huarui who came with them, they didn't care.

Since he hadn't slept all night and the weather was a little cool, it was inevitable that Zhao Guangmei looked a little haggard. In addition, he had just returned from Sichuan after a long journey. When the breeze blew, Zhao Guangmei looked a bit haggard. Mei's body has a little problem, she always has a runny nose or something.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Huarui and Queen Wang actually had a flash of ecstasy in their eyes at the same time.

"Are you sick?" Zhao Kuangyin also noticed and asked with a frown.

"I feel cold occasionally. It's not a big deal. I'll just go home and drink some ginger soup. It should be fine."

"This...you! How many times have I told you to exercise and keep practicing martial arts, but you refuse to listen. At such a young age, your greedy and lustful habit is deeply ingrained, and you can't change it no matter how much I tell you. It’s been ignored all over the place, how can a man shoulder the burden of the world in the future if he doesn’t even have this bit of self-control?”

Zhao Guangmei looked unhappy: "Brother, do you think this is appropriate? Is there anyone in the civil and military circles who is more greedy for wine than you? As for lustful."

Zhao Guangmei glanced at Mrs. Huarui calmly and thought, she is indeed very beautiful.

Then he chuckled and said nothing.

After all, being greedy and lustful are common problems among men. What’s the point of saying this?It's okay as long as it doesn't delay the business. He said it as if he was going to be drained by wine and sex.

"Are you still competing with me? Even though I am also greedy and lustful, my martial arts skills have not fallen behind. Don't look at me now that I have become an official, but my martial arts skills have not fallen behind. I am still the best master in the world and the best in the Forbidden Army. When the generals compete with me, no one can beat me. Look at you again, how can you still look like a general?"

Zhao Guangmei rolled her eyes and muttered, "Isn't this nonsense? Which Forbidden Army general dares to defeat you if he is beaten to death."

It was Zhao Guangyi who interrupted: "Okay, okay, this is a pure place of Buddhism. Our family is here today to stand on the platform of Daguangming Temple, burn incense, and pray for blessings. Why are we still quarreling? Third brother, the eldest brother is worried about you after all. body of."

"Oh."

Zhao Guangmei responded listlessly and continued walking forward.

He did know what Zhao Kuangyin was worried about. Of course he had not heard of the rumors about Buddha's enemies, but he just didn't take them to heart. He had never believed in the nonsense of gods and ghosts.

Although, including Chai Rong, a total of three emperors who massacred Buddhism in history all died mysteriously the next year, he believed this was just a coincidence.

Taking a step back, he just burned a few tantric Buddhist temples, and he should not be far enough away to be an enemy of the Buddha. Moreover, the tantric Buddha and the Zen Buddha are not the same family in the first place.

The group strolled up the mountain and began to visit the Daguangming Temple. After a while, they heard that Cao Yuanzhong had brought several eminent monks from Xiangguo Temple to visit and asked for an audience. Zhao Guangmei and Zhao Kuangyin were very happy.

At noon, everyone had a fast meal together, and then in the afternoon, the Mingjiao monks and the Buddhist monks began to pray for them.

Unexpectedly, when praying for blessings, the oil lamps on the Buddhist temple unexpectedly fell down, and a demonic wind blew, and unexpectedly a fire was lit. Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin and others naturally frowned and became unhappy.

"Master Mingyang, what is going on? Why does this happen when praying?"

I thought that this was just an accident, and that the master would just make up an excuse and say something nice to deal with it. However, Master Mingyang sighed and said: "Mani Guangming Buddha, Guanjia, this matter is out of the question." His Highness the King of Qin, His Highness the King of Qin, seems to be carrying bad luck, it seems... something is not good."

"What did you say?"

Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward and picked up Master Mingyang's collar and said, "Are you cursing my third brother?"

"Mani Guangming Buddha, officials and villains also tell the truth and don't dare to lie. If the officials don't believe it, they will take the villain's life. However... I think this person who has been cursed by His Highness King Qin's family seems to be different from the Buddhists. People, it’s not irrelevant.”

"You fart!"

After hearing this, all the eminent monks from Xiangguo Temple quit. They came here just for this reason. Buddhism cursed His Highness the King of Qin. If this matter were confirmed, I'm afraid there would be no Xiangguo Temple in this world.

Seeing this, Zhao Guangmei, the person involved, did not say anything. She sat down on the ground and patiently watched the show with her chin.

He knows that this Master Mingyang is a magic stick, and in his opinion, he can only perform some tricks. However, this magic stick actually dares to say such bastard words on such an occasion and at such a time, but there will definitely be consequences. Yes, he really wanted to see what kind of back-up move would make this monk have the courage to directly use him as a knife wielder?

Is it to frame Xiangguo Temple?

Did you borrow the courage from God?
"Mani Guangming Buddha, official, Your Highness, if you don't believe it, you will know after the next test. The person who cast the spell for Your Highness is in the small temple of the poor monk today."

As he said this, someone stood up and said, "Amitabha, Master Mingyang, indeed has great magic power. He actually figured out that he is a poor monk casting a spell for His Highness. It's a pity, it's a pity."

Everyone turned around to look at the visitor with a confused expression.

"Huineng?"

Looking at Queen Wang behind Monk Huineng, her face was as pale as paper.

Zhao Guangmei was also stunned.

Is this coming for me or my sister-in-law?

Then he couldn't help but ask: "You mean, you admit that you are cursing me?"

"Amitabha, it's good, it's good, it's true. It was the poor monk who cast the spell and cursed His Highness. If the officials want to put the poor monk to death, please start."
