Yun Fenghuang was slightly awe-inspiring, and he didn't care about Zhao Qing and others in front, and asked: "What did they find?"
"Qian's mother and daughter said that the relationship between Shanyuan Temple and the royal family does not begin with the Empress Dowager, but rather with the Qu family, the first successor of Emperor Sejong Bidong." Chie spoke quickly, "Empress Qu's birthplace The rich family, and the direct aunts and sisters of Emperor Sejong and Yuan Dynasty, were both talented and beautiful, and they were considerate. She first entered the palace as Jieyu, but within two years, due to the death of Emperor Sejong's third empress Bidong of illness, she entered the middle palace! "
… That’s not a role model for our generation!
In comparison, it has been so many years since I first became a Baolin, and I am still lingering in the position of imperial concubine. I am simply a waste...
Yun Fenghuang was filled with envy and hatred in his heart, and said slowly: "Continue talking."
"No." Chie said, "Not long after Queen Qu became the queen, a prince came from Dong. He was the second legitimate son of Emperor Shizong. The first legitimate son was born by Empress Yuan. He died not long after arriving at Qiongjiu Palace. Therefore, Emperor Sejong Bidong loved the prince very much and wanted to make him the crown prince. But at that time, Sejong had no idea about the age of destiny, and all the princes and grandsons had grown up. Many of them were not born. Sejong Bidong was very fond of the emperor's heir, and even stayed in the imperial capital as a vassal king... Empress Qu was uneasy, and because of the death of her son after the Yuan Dynasty, she could not sleep at night. Later, the Taoist nun of Shanyuan Temple offered benzoin incense. , whether it can help sleep, Queen Qu was quite satisfied after trying it, and rewarded the Taoist temple... "
After that, the two parties became closer and closer. Even during summer vacation every year, Queen Qu would go to Shanyuan Temple to offer incense and have meals. When she was in the imperial capital, she would often send people to repair Taoist temples and donate money. Silk... Shan Yuan Guan became involved with the royal family from then on.
"Queen Qu?" Yun Fenghuang asked with a frown, "Later Shenzong ascended the throne, it was rumored that the queen was gone?"
Chie said: "Not only the queen, but also the Qu family behind her were slaughtered. It can be said that no chickens or dogs were left alive!"
"Then listen, it seems that Shan Yuan Temple was the fault of Emperor Shenzong. Did he pay Empress Qu by mistake?" Yun Fenghuang frowned, "Otherwise, after Queen Qu left, Shenzong and his wife would not clean up Shan Yuan Temple. Even if it’s good, let alone the favor?”
She was a little dissatisfied, "I know this, so I can give them whatever I want."
Although the news was a bit unexpected, it was nothing like that.
Ru Ming is of no use to her.
After all, Shenzong, as the previous winner of the national war during the reign of King Sejong, had some legs that were beyond normal.
As for Queen Qu who plotted against Shizong...that's even more normal.
Otherwise, why would Queen Qu commit suicide by swallowing gold
Even so, she had no idea how to protect Dong's own flesh and blood.
"Empress, it's okay to just look at things, but there are problems with people." Chie whispered, "According to Qian's mother and daughter, the Taoist nun Shanyuan Guanruming, in just two years after the late Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne, I changed them all... If something happens to me for various reasons, I will travel far for various reasons. But those who say they travel far must have left the Taoist temple. As for whether they have gone far away, no one knows. If this is the case, it can be said that the late Emperor Shenzong has been silenced. A mere Taoist temple is nothing. The key is, after those people were replaced, the royal family did not alienate Shanyuan Temple. Instead, they were rewarded every year in the name of the Empress Dowager. "
"From the third year of Shenzong's accession to the throne, it has never stopped."
"Even the amount of the reward is not large, and those who are good enough to Yuan Guan can live a life of fine clothing and fine food without doing anything... At the same time, there are occasionally wandering female crowns in the Guan who come to place orders. Every time someone comes, The Taoist temple will notify the palace."
"But Qian and her daughter didn't find out what Gong Wei would do after he found out."
Only then did Yun Fenghuang become cautious.
Judging from the experience of Queen Qu, the first successor of Sejong was probably deceived by Shan Yuan Guan through benzoin. As a result, Shenzong won and Jian Zuo succeeded to the throne, and then he massacred his legs and feet as a way of venting and retaliating for all the depression and grievances he had suffered when he was a prince.
At the same time, of course, he also wanted to erase all traces of his murder of his stepmother.
Just don’t…
Of course, there is no proper meaning in observing Shan Yuan in the East, but what does it mean to continue to give it to the Tao
There are many women who want to report to the palace after they appear, then...
Yun Fenghuang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked: "Is it possible that some of the Taoist nuns who traveled far away when Shan Yuan watched them were still alive?"
Chie whispered: "My servant is also a little suspicious, but Qian's mother and daughter said that the little Taoist nun who was the one who gave them the news from Si Dong is not clear. The master of the little Taoist nun was originally from another Taoist temple in Qishan, and Si Dong was with Shan A Taoist nun in Yuan Guan was familiar with her, so she knew better. After all the people in Shan Yuan Guan were replaced, she was trembling with fear. Fortunately, no one knew about her association with the former Taoist nun in the temple, and it had not been traced before. Her head was there. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, her own Taoist temple was unable to move eastward due to the lack of pilgrims, so she found a way to go to Shanyuan Temple."
"How did the Qian mother and daughter talk to their disciples?" Yun Fenghuang was a little suspicious. It is said that even the Shenzong purge can be avoided, even if it depends on a certain amount of luck... he is obviously not a careful master.
The disciples trained by that kind of person must not be very good at all. How can Qian and his daughter be deceived
Chie pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "The little Taoist nun... The little Taoist nun wants the Qian family and her daughter to help her become a secular person, or find another Taoist temple in Yuanji that is more prosperous to house her."
"So you're Sifan?" Yun Fenghuang nodded, "It's a small matter, we'll make arrangements for her later."
But I saw Chicai was about to speak but stopped.
She asked, "What's so great about it?"
"It's not necessarily Sifan." Chie said euphemistically, "The little Taoist nun's master has some... um, special hobbies. The little Taoist nun does like men, so... So she doesn't really want to be with her master. So she The family sold her to her master, but if there is no one to support her, she will have nowhere to go."
Yun Fenghuang was a little aware of what the little Taoist nun's master could do to avoid Shenzong's purge.
Since her relationship with the original Taoist nun of Shanyuan Temple was not an ordinary friendship at all... then it was natural for her to avoid contact with others.
When Shenzong was cleaning Shan Yuan Temple, it was inevitable that there was such a person.
The imperial concubine twitched the corner of her mouth and said: "What is the temperament of the little Taoist nun? Even if she doesn't like her master, she is practicing in Shanyuan Temple and has met a lot of nobles. Why didn't she choose other people to ask for help, but she chose money? Mother and daughter?"
"Our people have repeatedly questioned us, but they have confirmed that the second daughter of the Qian family has made contributions." Chie said, "At first, the mother and daughter were so anxious that they were unable to do anything. They were running around like headless ants. At that time, the little Taoist nun was like She was very ruthless in asking Qian's daughters to play with her, but kept her mouth shut when asking about things. Qian's second daughter accidentally discovered that the little Taoist nun may not actually like playing, but she liked being with them, and even wanted to be together in the morning. Son... But her master told her that Qian's daughter was clinging to her, so she couldn't get away. Qian's second daughter noticed that the little Taoist nun seemed to be afraid of being with her master... "
The second daughter of the Qian family could instigate the princess's cousin to help pay for someone else's mistress, and of course she was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
So I chose a quiet place with no one and had a showdown with the little Taoist nun.
Please tell her the reason honestly, please, and she will go and expose it to her master!
And she didn't refuse to expose her, and she begged the imperial concubine to complain to her, saying that the little Taoist nun was dishonest, etc., so that she could be imprisoned.
The older Taoist nun Shan Yuan Guan, Na Dingbu, ignored her words and even treated her in turn.
But the little Taoist nun came from a humble background. After being bought by her master, she became her apprentice. She had never been out of a Taoist temple when she grew up. She chanted sutras every month and served her master... What did she know
Coupled with her master's quirks, the little Taoist nun was already a little nervous, but when she was frightened, she immediately panicked.
I really wanted to lie, but the second daughter of the Qian family, even if she is not a first-rate shrewd person, is still thoughtful. What's more, the daughter of a high-ranking official has no knowledge, skills, or ability comparable to that of the little Taoist nun? After seeing through several lies in a row, he walked away, threatening to make sure that the little Taoist nun would not be able to survive the confinement period... Only then did the little Taoist nun give in, and of course she would not let Qian's second daughter take anything away from her.
"The second daughter of the Qian family said that she had the guts to promise the little Taoist nun some benefits first, such as comforting her and helping her master to continue the insinuation." Chie said softly, "Then the little Taoist nun didn't. She is a very scheming person, and even the second daughter of the Qian family does not dare to vouch for it, so she can ask more questions to avoid arousing her teacher's suspicion."
Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Is that all they asked about? Is there anything else?"
Chie thought for a while and said: "It's very interesting... But I don't know whether to be strict or not: the little Taoist nun said that cats are not allowed in Shanyuan Temple."
"Oh?" Yun Fenghuang became interested, "Why?"
That rule was originally nothing.
Is it possible that a person with a high status doesn't like cats
However, considering what happened with the Three Corpse Insects before, it is worth pondering.
Chie said: "My maid also thought about the Three Corpse Insects at first... Although Bidong found out earlier that Ji Sheng, a common man, did it when he was the Crown Princess. But since it is a cat, who knows if there is any extraneous affair? Bu The little Taoist nun Nao said that the reason why cats are not allowed in Shanyuan Temple has something to do with Queen Qu. Could it be that during the reign of Emperor Shizong, during a palace banquet, Shizong opened the Royal Beast Garden due to the casual request of a certain emperor. He collected rare and exotic animals that were suitable for the nobles to raise and presented them to the people present. At that time, there were all kinds of birds, fish and insects. One of them, the lion cat with mandarin duck eyes, was exceptionally handsome, intelligent, agile, and very vigorous, and won the hearts of many people. attention."
"Among them, Empress Qu and the late Emperor Shenzong were quite moved. In the past, Emperor Shizong gave it to Empress Qu, who did not deny Jieyu."
"Shenzong didn't say anything at that time."
"But later Empress Qu swallowed gold and committed suicide. The lion cat was considered too old. After the palace incident, someone remembered it and specially captured it and sent it to the late Emperor Shenzong. Who knows, the late Emperor Shenzong stared at the lion cat for a moment, but... Without saying a word, he drew his sword and chopped it into several pieces!"
"Originally, there were quite a few lion cats in Shanyuan Temple, but the descendants of Dong who accidentally stayed behind when the lion cats accompanied Queen Qu to the temple... After learning the news, they drowned them overnight. From then on, even if snakes and rats were rampant, they would still be alive. I don’t dare to keep cats anymore.”
"Perhaps due to the passage of time in the past two years, there were occasional wild cats wandering nearby, but they did not chase them away, but ordinary civet cats were just fine. As long as there were lion cats, they would not dare to let them go."
Yun Fenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, everyone knows that the late Emperor Shenzong did not live a good life when he was the prince.
Looking at it at that time, it was very bad.
Otherwise, the lion cat would not have been killed. Years later, he would have been very upset and killed him in public.
To be honest, that move was quite un-royal.
Coco knew how much he had suffered when he was a prince... Well, okay, compared to the lion cat, Shizong's huge bones and blood were terrible.
"After all, it's all the past events of Shenzong, and it has nothing to do with Ruming..." Yun Fenghuang complained enthusiastically, but was disappointed and thought to himself, "That's not what I want to know."
After all, exposing Shenzong's dark history would do no harm to her. Why would she do that
Just as they were about to continue questioning Chie, Zhaoqing and others outside were impatient. The other princesses were nieces, but Princess Zhaoqing held the door frame and shouted: "Mother, mother, are you in there? What's the matter?" So you haven't been out for a long time? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
