Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Chapter 441: Boiling Frog in Warm Water

As for His Majesty's demolition of the ancestral hall and the bombing of the imperial mausoleum, Song Jinxiu glanced at the two elders and said: This matter must be explained to the ministers in the court.

However, she had to go back to the palace to discuss it with her father first.

imperial study room,

Liu Renxiu had another strand of white hair.

Song Jinxiu frowned and asked, "Is my father in good health?"

Liu Renxiu smiled and said, "I'm in good health. I take the nutritional pills you gave me, one a day, without fail."

Since the death of the Holy Maiden of the Cui family, no one in the Cangwu royal family or emperor has lived long.

I didn’t understand why at first, but now I finally understand that it’s because my luck has been taken away and my life span will not be long.

He was forty-two years old, and he could clearly feel his vitality slipping away. If it weren't for the nutritional pills Kang Le had given him, he would have looked even older.

Back then, my father also aged rapidly after he turned forty.

My father was nourished with deer blood and barely lived to be forty-seven. It seemed that my own time was approaching.

"Kangle, I demolished the ancestral hall and blew up the underground palace and the imperial mausoleum. I should have broken the sacrificial array, but I still feel uneasy. Could there be more somewhere else that we haven't discovered?"

Song Jinxiu said: "Your Majesty, your guess is correct. I need to check the daily records of the Cui family's Saintess and Emperor Shengde to confirm it.

However, my initial guess is that there should be ninety-nine and eighty-one of these sacrificial arrays."

Liu Renxiu's face froze, and he clenched his fists. "So many?"

What should he do if he suddenly wants to whip the corpse of his ancestor Emperor Shengde?

When the emperor does not care about his people and is bewitched by a witch, he is a tyrant, a very tyrant.

Look at myself, I like the little girl so much, as long as it is for the country, I can let her go without hesitation.

Humph! This ancestor is far inferior to me!

So, even if he went to the underworld in the future, he could still say to his ancestors with a clear conscience that he had dug up their graves for a reason, and that the culprit was this ancestor. And he was the hero who saved Cangwu!

Liu Renxiu's eyes became firm.

Song Jinxiu nodded and said, "I want to check based on their daily records. If they want to build an altar, there must be records. Even if they want to hide it, we can always find clues.

So, as long as we follow the clues and find them one by one, we can destroy them."

To ease the atmosphere, Song Jinxiu said with a smile, "Hasn't your father used the explosives I invented? How powerful are they?"

Liu Renxiu finally smiled and praised, "Yes, my Kang Le is truly a child prodigy."

……

On the third day after Song Jinxiu returned to the palace, while all the court officials were feeling uneasy, His Majesty summoned the Grand Secretaries and the six ministers to the Imperial Study for a secret meeting.

The fact that Qi Chenghua, the leader of the sword-bearing guards, and Zhu Beichen, the imperial city official, were guarding the doors and windows respectively, was enough to illustrate the importance of this meeting.

His Majesty's expression was calm, and he spoke directly to the point, "I have read the rumors circulating in the capital. They say that the Holy Emperor has no moral integrity and is pursuing immortality..."

Everyone looked at His Majesty's expression, and the left and right censors of the Censorate looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty. These people dared to slander the Holy Emperor. I will investigate them strictly and put an end to this unhealthy trend."

Liu Renxiu waved his hand and said, "Your mistakes are your fault. We'll talk about it later. What I want to say today is that this rumor is not groundless!"

Everyone was stunned. What did His Majesty mean by this? It wasn't just a rumor. Could this be true?

Everyone's faces suddenly became serious.

"Kangle, you speak." Liu Renxiu rubbed his forehead.

He recently demolished the ancestral hall and blew up the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum. Although it was for the national destiny of Cangwu, it was the place where his ancestors lived and slept after all.

He even thought about how he would answer if his ancestor appeared in his dream in the middle of the night and wanted to question him.

However, none of the Liu family's ancestors, even the emperor and the queen, had ever appeared in his dreams.

Could it be that the souls of these ancestors have really vanished into thin air? Then, to whom was he offering sacrifices so devoutly every year?

Song Jinxiu got straight to the point and asked, "Does everyone know Queen Feng Ling?"

Everyone: Isn't this nonsense? How can someone who can enter the cabinet and the six ministries not understand the history of Cangwu?

Not only must he be well-versed in the history of Cangwu, but he must also be familiar with the taboos of the royal family and the taboos of emperors and empresses of all generations.

Song Jinxiu said, "Everyone, please read Queen Feng Ling's letter first, and then I will talk about other things."

As she spoke, she took out the letter that Queen Fengling wrote to Ahuan.

Everyone took the letter suspiciously and respectfully and passed it around.

The reason why Song Jinxiu took out the letter from Queen Fengling was to make her words more convincing. After all, who would believe her if she said that Cangwu's national destiny had been taken away by someone?

Your Majesty believes in yourself because, as the ruler of a country, you know a lot, and as a monarch, you have personal experience.

For example, ever since I became the Crown Princess, I have always been uneasy.

Only you understand this feeling.

Therefore, using Queen Fengling's letter, everyone can have a preconceived notion and have an understanding of that period of history, so that her subsequent words will be easier for people to accept.

Zhou Kunran said in disbelief, "What does Queen Feng mean by this letter? Is the Cui family's Saintess not human?"

"Queen Feng, are you saying that the Holy Maiden of the Cui Family is a monster? That anyone within a radius of eight hundred miles will be bewitched by her? This is sheer nonsense!"

"Well, it's said that Queen Feng is jealous, so she must have said this out of jealousy. How could someone be able to bewitch people within 800 miles?"

Song Jinxiu asked, "You don't believe what Queen Feng said?"

Everyone nodded. "Our Cangwu is doing well, but Queen Feng said that the Cui family's Saintess wants to bury the entire Cangwu. This lie is self-defeating and cannot be believed."

Someone else said, "However, there are indeed records of people refining blood pills, praying for immortality, and building altars and ancestral temples for over 9,000 people of great fortune."

Song Jinxiu glanced at everyone and said sternly, "Queen Feng is right. It has now been confirmed that the Saintess of the Cui family did indeed manipulate the Cangwu Kingdom."

Everyone looked at her.

Song Jinxiu nodded solemnly and continued, "The Royal Ancestral Hall is a sacrificial formation. That's why Your Majesty wants to tear it down."

"Sacrifice?"

The word "sacrifice" was a bit creepy, and everyone looked at the emperor anxiously, "Your Majesty, is what the Crown Princess said true?"

Liu Renxiu nodded: "What we can confirm now is that there is indeed something wrong with Cangwu's national destiny. There are problems with the royal ancestral hall and the underground palace mausoleum."

Everyone asked in disbelief, "Are these all sacrificial formations? I just don't know how these sacrifices are performed."

Song Jinxiu said, "What we sacrificed was our luck. If our luck is taken away, what do you think will happen to us?"

Zhou Kunran gritted his teeth and said, "Having your luck taken away means you're just unlucky."

Liu Renxiu glanced at Zhou Kunran and said, "Your Excellency Zhou is right. It's just bad luck."

He rubbed his forehead and spoke slowly, "Ever since I ascended the throne, I have felt an inexplicable throbbing and worry in my heart.

Especially in the middle of the night, I woke up from nightmares several times.

Moreover, after every nightmare, I would receive reports of disasters from all over the country.

In the past, I thought I was worried about the people's livelihood and that God was giving me a warning.

Now that I think about it, it's not like that. It's because I'm the king, and every time I draw the national destiny, I can empathize with it."

Everyone: From what Your Majesty said, the country's destiny is being continuously extracted again and again?

What is this treating Cangwu like? Boiling a frog in warm water?
