As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

Five days before New Year's Eve, envoys from various countries had already arrived in Yun Dynasty, and Emperor Jingmu suddenly issued an edict to make Linghe Christianity the state religion!

One stone stirs up a thousand ripples. Linghejiao is the state religion of Qi State, and the gods they believe in are considered to be evil. Most people in Dayun Dynasty believe in the two orthodox religions of Buddhism and Taoism.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, all the sects, regardless of their formations, jointly submitted a memorial, "Your Majesty, the Dayun Dynasty is the leader of all nations. How can a small religion be regarded as the state religion in the world!"

Ordinary people worship a tablet of a god in their homes, while wealthy and powerful families build Taoist temples and private temples. Emperor Jingmu's move really went completely against their grain!

Once the state religion is established, wouldn't all other religions become unorthodox? By then, the disputes among religious parties would be enough to stir up a bloody storm in the Dayun Dynasty.

People may not voluntarily sacrifice their lives for the emperor, but they will definitely draw their swords to resist for the gods they believe in! That is the piety that is rooted in their hearts, how can they not be crazy.

The memorials were presented to the imperial desk like snowflakes, but Emperor Jingmu did not even look at them. He had made up his mind and no one could shake it. At the same time, he sent troops to suppress the resistance that was boiling everywhere, using extremely tough means.

There was chaos in the previous dynasty, and there is chaos in the harem too. Who isn't a fool? Linghe Sect, Qi State, it must be Mei Zhaoyi who is behind all this!

Twenty years later, the title of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country fell from the Royal Noble Consort of Yue to Consort Mei. Thousands of people cursed her and tens of thousands of people hated her!

Not only did the ministers protest in the Golden Palace, but the scholars who had not obtained official positions also collected the blood letters of the people, knelt together in front of the palace gate, and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, please restore the past purity and brightness! Revoke the imperial decree to make Linghe the state religion, and kill the evil concubine Mei Zhaoyi!"

"Kill the evil concubine Mei Zhaoyi!"

The common people did not have the courage to kneel in front of the palace gate, so they knelt at the door of their own homes and refused to get up, "Your Majesty, please show mercy! Take back the imperial edict!"

This trend has spread from Yuncheng and cannot be stopped. It is also impossible to put these people in jail. Where would there be so many jails? It would be impossible to catch all of them!

Furthermore, officials themselves have to pray to Buddha and Taoism from time to time. Whether they are sincere or not is another matter, but they don’t want to kneel down before spiritualism in the future.

The saying that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it is an eternal truth. Emperor Jingmu could not hold on for too long.

In Guangming Palace, Emperor Jingmu closed his eyes with a gloomy expression, rubbing his forehead with his left hand, and twisting the strange bracelet in his right hand all the time.

The palace maids dared not breathe heavily, for fear of making any noise!

Liu Lin bowed and offered the tranquilizing soup. "Your Majesty, you said the tranquilizing soup you used earlier was useless. The Imperial Hospital has changed the dosage of the prescription. Would you like to try it again?"

Emperor Jingmu has been having headaches lately, and the imperial physician has seen him but it's no use, saying it's because of his mental state. Indeed, the Dayun Dynasty is in chaos because of that imperial edict.

The palace door was opened from the outside by the palace servants. Emperor Jingmu endured the pain in his nerves and opened his eyes. It was Mei Zhaoyi. He said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid? Everyone in the former court and the harem wants your life."

Mei Zhaoyi, who was standing at the entrance of the palace, spoke in a very flat tone, which formed a strange contrast with her smiling expression. Her eyes were even more ruthless and emotionless. "Then I will use my life to help Your Majesty calm down some of the people's grievances and buy some time for the teachings."

Emperor Jingmu took the tranquilizing soup from Liu Lin's hand and drank a sip. He was silent for a moment, his expression indifferent, "Okay, I will erect a monument for you privately."

Mei Zhaoyi knelt on the ground with her hands raised above her head, and said calmly, "For Your Majesty, for the spirit and religion, I will not refuse even if my life is short."

Liu Lin, a man who had been up and down in the palace for most of his life, could hardly control his hatred for Mei Zhaoyi. If it weren't for this person who bewitched His Majesty, how could His Majesty issue such a ridiculous imperial decree!

Your Majesty, who once had a far-sighted vision and worked hard to govern the country, now has the appearance of a tyrant!

…………

The evil concubine Mei Zhaoyi, who brought disaster to the country, was sentenced to beheading, and the execution platform was stained with blood.

At the same time, a palace maid also died of illness and was taken out of the palace and buried.

In a remote house outside the palace, a woman with an ordinary face knelt on the ground, hugged a handsome man's waist, and cried bitterly, "Master, you finally come to take me back to Qi State! You don't know what a hard life I have lived in Guangming Palace!"

Emperor Jingmu was terrible, but the Crown Prince was even more terrible. What she said in the West Palace that day was passed on to the Crown Prince by the palace maid, but the Crown Prince did not summon her to meet him. The next day, when she was leaving Guangming Palace, she ran into Empress He's procession and was punished to kneel for another hour, until her knees were about to break.

How could the timing be so coincidental? It was clearly the prince warning her. She had never suffered so much since she was accepted as an apprentice by her master.

She felt extremely aggrieved, but she pretended to be calm and composed on the surface. At night, she hid in her bed, biting her handkerchief and crying sadly. It turned out that her master was the only one in the world who treated her well.

The man stroked her head and shifted his gaze to the Crown Prince Dayunchao who was sitting at the top. "Your Highness, the agreed matter has been completed. We, the master and disciple, will leave now."

"The deal is done, and everyone is happy." Ning Rusong nodded, smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves, stood up and walked towards another door, "I have asked my subordinates to hand over what I promised you to your servants."

After stepping over the threshold, the door closed and intermittent sentences came from the house behind me.

"Master, my identity is invalid. Can I still enjoy wealth and luxury? I don't want to suffer!"

"With the master here, I will choose a more honorable status for you after we return to Qi Kingdom."

The woman's voice became excited, "Master is so good to me! Then I don't want to be a princess anymore, I want to be the queen of Qi State. Master, you know, the queen of Dayun Dynasty is so majestic!"

The man sighed and said, "Stupid kid who has never gotten his mind right."

It was snowing outside, and Xiao Guanzi held an umbrella to protect Ning Rusong from the snow. "Your Highness, tonight is the New Year's Eve banquet, and the Crown Princess sent a message to me, saying that you should return to the East Palace as soon as possible. She is waiting for you."

These words warmed Ning Rusong's heart. He smiled and said, "Let's go back to Changxin Palace."

Being remembered and cared for by the one he loves made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was stirring up trouble in the court, feel relieved.

Human desires are endless, so they kowtow to Buddha and worship Taoism. He is not a clear-headed person. He is far more complicated and chaotic than people think. The only person who can make him bow his head and be pious is He Yue.
