Male Supporting Strategy [Quick Transmigration]

No matter how much Marquis Wu Chuang of Pingdong County ridiculed Xu Ming during the night party at the Fifth Prince's Mansion, it could not change the fact that Xu Ming was becoming more and more popular with the emperor and his status was rising day by day.

In a blink of an eye, it is the 17th year of Tiande's Buddha's birthday. Since the emperor of this dynasty entered Buddhism, this unremarkable day has become a big day comparable to New Year's Eve.On this day, the emperor will invite all the courtiers above the third rank to hold a large banquet in the imperial city. Of course, the dishes are all Vegetarian dishes, and the drinks are replaced by green tea.

In the past, on Buddha's birthday, the custom was to honor the monks in the palace. Since the 14th year of Tiande's Buddha's birthday, this custom has naturally been reduced to enshrining Xuming and rewarding the rest of the monks.

However, in the two years of Buddha's birthday and various festivals, the illusory status has long been the highest among palace monks in this dynasty, and if it goes higher, it will be a marquis.The throne and the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty were extremely honorable. There was only one Marquis of Pingdong County in this dynasty, and none of the fifteen princes could get the prince. Only the two brothers who were still alive by the emperor were worthy.

If it is really a marquis, it will be a big deal.No matter from which aspect, the officials and the royal children at the banquet silently made up for it in their hearts, and at the same time stole a look at Wu Chuang, Marquis of Pingdong County, who was the first among the military officials.

Naturally, Wu Chuang also thought of this episode, his face was very gloomy at the moment, most of the civil servants and generals below would not pay attention to the toast, only the prince and first-rank ministers would appreciate it.

In the middle of the banquet, the atmosphere was in full swing, and the emperor was so intoxicated by the bustle, he patted the long table carved with dragons in front of him, and said in a loud voice: "This is the Buddha's birthday, and the court is celebrating, there is no reason not to reward the disciples of the Buddhist sect." ?”

As he spoke, he chuckled and waved his fingers in mid-air: "There are millions of Buddhist disciples, it would be too much work if you seal them all, it would be too much work if you seal the best one!"

At this point, the emperor didn't realize that something was wrong, and all the ministers and princes who were with the banquet felt thumping in their hearts, secretly thinking that something was going to happen, but it's unclear how much of this secretly saying is really worrying, and how much is happy to see it.

The emperor continued: "If the disciples of the Buddhist sect are the first, it is naturally Master Xuming who is always by my side! I have already planned to enclose Master Xuming as the Marquis of Prajna, and the Marquis of Prajna will live in the Prajna Palace and recite the Prajna Sutra. !"

Oops!It doesn't matter whether he is named a Marquis, but he is still a Marquis with an unprecedented title.Compared with the ten or twenty Marquis of Pingdong County who have been enshrined since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although there is no difference in rank, Wu Chuang is probably lower than Xu Ming. .

Everyone with the banquet stopped their glasses silently, waiting for the storm that would happen next, so as not to be unprepared and suddenly choke.

Sure enough, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, before Xu Ming stood up to thank him, Wu Chuang stood up abruptly, knocked down the food table in front of him with his clothes, and spilled tea and vegetables all over the floor.

Wu Chuang had a stern face, his almond eyes were full of anger, and he bowed his hands to the emperor on the steps and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, think twice."

The sound of silk and bamboo in the hall stopped abruptly at this moment, and the clanking sound that suddenly stopped was still echoing between the carved beams on the golden wall, the candles flickered on all sides, and the atmosphere in the room was stagnant to the extreme.

"What's the best opinion of Marquis Wu?" The emperor had a half-smile, with a chill in his eyes.

Going around the mess on the ground, Wu Chuang flicked the hem of his clothes, knelt down on one knee, and straightened his back: "The Great Zhou has been established for more than two hundred years, and the feats that can not continue the life of the country are not conferred. Above a monk, there are 57 lords who have lost the heart of the country! The emperor must not be deceived by the treacherous villain, so as to do such a detrimental act to the country!!"

In Guangying Hall, there was not a single noise, and even the exhalation and inhalation of the officials were suppressed on the same frequency. Wu Chuang's thick and powerful voice was like the ringing of a large golden bell, and the last sentence slammed down , Provoking tens of thousands of layers of echoes.

The emperor on the steps was extremely angry, and Wu Chuang looked at each other like two strange beasts with copper bell eyes, and he was panting heavily.

The thorn in Wu Chuang's words is three inches thick, pointing directly at the emperor's stupidity, listening to sycophants and misleading the country, the current emperor's face is the most important, and everyone else is second, how can he not be angry?

Seeing the emperor slowly put the silver cup in his hand back to the long table in front of him, there was a bang when it touched it, which made all the officials in the hall tremble in their hearts.

The emperor said unhurriedly: "The Marquis Wu is probably drunk from the good tea, come here! Send Marquis Wu back to the mansion, be sure to take good care of him!"

All the people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, they don't care about the follow-up of this matter, as long as they don't have to attack on the spot.At that time, if you stay still, you will disregard your face, and if you move, you will be in collusion with Wu Chuang. It is really embarrassing.

From the corner of Guangying Hall, two armored guards came out quietly, one on the left and one on the right stood beside Wu Chuang, who was kneeling on one knee, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab Wu Hou's arm.

The leather-wrapped hand hadn't really touched Wu Chuang before he swung it away vigorously. Wu Chuang said loudly again, "I'm not drunk! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers in the palace dared not look at it again, the fault of Marquis Wu who loves to be stubborn is really terrible!If you want him to die by himself, just let him go, as long as they are buried with him to guard the tomb.

Sure enough, Wu Chuang's voice was still rolling in his tongue, and the emperor suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely, and Zishen shouted: "Is the Fenghou matter sorry to the past princes or hurt your Wu Chuang's face! Arrogant self-esteem, disregarding Your Majesty, don’t be afraid to harm the country and form cliques for personal gain! You Wu Chuang have the nerve to talk about your merits!... As for the merits of Marquis Prajna, I have them all in my heart, so I’m up to you to comment on them?!”

The four words were harsh, and Wu Chuang broke out in cold sweat when he said it. He didn't dare to answer any more, and obediently let the guards half-support and half-drag him down.Among these four words, especially the one of forming a party for personal gain, has a strong implication. Not only Wu Chuang is in a cold sweat, but the princes present and their subordinates feel in a trance that a giant knife is hanging over their heads.They had never heard of Wu Chuang forming a party, but the emperor knew about it, not to mention that they all knew about it.

Anyone present who could make the vast land of Dazhou tremble three times by just taking it out, realized for the first time that he was actually no different from the monkey grandson of the Buddha who rolled around at the sight of five fingers.

----------------------------

What happened in Guangying Hall that day, no one mentioned it afterward, they all regarded it as unspeakable.From that day on, the contacts between courtiers and the prince suddenly decreased a lot. For a while, the east gate of the city was deserted, and the east and west corner gates of each mansion could not pass two or three people a day.

In this situation where everyone was in danger, the Second Prince's Mansion and Zhao Baiwan seemed to be in the clear, visiting once every two or three days, occasionally staying for dinner together.

Gao Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, also hid in the crowd of the Xia Dynasty, secretly asked Ning Zhi if he needed to avoid a little taboo with Zhao Bai, at least not to communicate so obviously.

After hearing this, Ning Zhi didn't take it seriously, and replied calmly: "Since my father didn't say anything before, he naturally doesn't care about it. Besides, the more he avoids it now, the more he exposes it. Zhao Bai and I It's better to be more calm when you wait for selfishness that is hidden deeply."

Having said that, everyone in the court was still in danger, until a bigger disaster broke out half a month later.

At the same time, the emperor felt that the sickness was coming again, and he was not feeling well, so he had a fast meal with Xu Ming, ordered not to be neglected, and then went to rest early.

In the middle of the night, Prajna Palace let out a mournful scream, which caused all six palaces in the east and west to light up their candles, eager to hear the news.

At the fourth watch, all the six palaces received the secret news that Master Xuming of Prajna Palace was already stiff, his seven orifices were bleeding, and his body was curled up like a shrimp, which was very frightening.Moreover, the emperor secretly passed on the Qingzhi Palace Concubine Shu, who is the concubine of the fourth prince and mother.Hearing that the fourth prince stayed in the palace tonight and did not return home, he also went with him.

Only three white wax candles were lit in the huge Prajna Palace, and the flickering flames were clearly warm in nature, but there was a trace of cold air.The emperor was sitting on a wooden chair under the altar in the middle of the east chamber of the palace, with a gloomy expression on his face, staring straight at the four princes, mother and son who were kneeling next to Xu Ming's corpse.

Under the light and shadows of the candlelight, Xu Ming's corpse was intertwined with light and dark, one line of black and one line of hazy yellow. People are too scared to take a second look.

The cause of death has been found out, Xu Ming's tonight fast food was ingeniously mixed with a highly poisonous poison, colorless and odorless, even silver can't be detected, just a few mouthfuls of food can kill someone.

In order to ensure sincerity, several high-ranking concubines always cook the fasting meals in the palace in turn. Tonight it happened to be the turn of the fourth prince, mother and concubine Shu.

As soon as she entered the East Chamber, her eyes glanced at the small amount of fast food on the table and the emptiness on the ground. Concubine Shu, who had been immersed in the palace for many years, knew what had happened, and knelt down with a plop, regardless of whether there were any broken pieces on the ground. Stone dregs, even if they can't stop kowtowing, crying for grievances.

When the fourth prince came in, seeing the appearance of Concubine Shu and the emperor, he also knelt down to analyze and exonerate his mother.

The emperor is not stupid, naturally he also knows that Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years, it is impossible to resort to such crude methods.Moreover, Concubine Shu herself has no conflict of interest with Xu Ming, so she cannot be self-defeating.Calling Concubine Shu here this time is just to confirm one thing or two, and to find a suitable person to investigate the matter in detail.

After eloquently explaining the arrangement for concubine Shu to investigate the matter carefully, the emperor asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand?"

Hearing this, the Fourth Prince and Concubine Shu both heaved a sigh of relief, the white wax candles in the Prajna Palace no longer looked ghostly and cold, but revealed a strong fire of ambition.

Concubine Shu tentatively asked: "If the power of the six palaces is held in the hands of Concubine Gao, it may be inconvenient for the concubines to act..."

The emperor's cold eyes followed the candlelight, stood up on the sandalwood chair, and said in a cold tone: "This matter is reported to the noble concubine, she is kind-hearted by nature, and will not embarrass you. But you must be clear, don't borrow This trip is unreasonable."

As soon as this remark came out, Concubine Shu hurriedly took a look, not daring to ask again.

---------------------------

The atmosphere of self-insecurity outside the palace city broke through the palace gates and invaded the palace. The concubines and eunuchs of the six palaces were extremely cautious, unwilling to say too much, and would bow their heads and walk quickly when passing by the Prajna Palace, not daring to delay a step.

With the approval of Concubine Gao, Concubine Shu sweeps up all the gardens in the six palaces. She has a violent temper by nature, and her position is only under Concubine Gao who is temporarily acting as empress, and no one dares to contradict her.

However, as the investigation continued day by day, the matter finally went beyond the thousand gates of the harem, and found the chief supervisor of the conservatory, the internal supervisor.

It turned out that this person secretly poisoned the fast meal by taking the opportunity of offering flowers in front of the Buddha every day.There are all witnesses and material evidences for this matter, and the neighbor of the flower house jailer reported it. Although he did not admit it, he couldn't argue with it.

However, the object of the inner eunuch's food was a maidservant from Concubine Shu's Qingzhi Palace, serving a noble person who lived in the wing of Qingzhi Palace and had been in the palace for a long time. There is a lot of traffic.
