Lao Tzu said

Chapter 5

I remember someone who said in my memory: "Who is the most invincible? I am my own enemy."

↑Maybe it's a celebrity's catchphrase... All in all, it makes sense.

Thoughts are given to us by God, and we think we have thoughts, but that is just a joke made by God.

If you can't be a good person, why do you want to be a bad person?Maybe everyone has never had color before...

"There is no evil in one life, one life is demoted, and one life is evil."

These are the last words of Bai Keqing's farewell to childhood.

The nine clans were punished, and the whole family was copied and beheaded. More than 200 members of Donglingbai's family died under the authority of the emperor.

I don't know why, if anyone's family copy and kill, there will be a storm in the sky, maybe they are pitying something... Even the heaven-defying Dong Lingbai family is no exception.

Dongling Bai's family has produced child prodigies from generation to generation, is the right arm of the Holy Majesty, and is the victim of the court.

Most of the geniuses come from Donglingbai's family. They seem to be very beautiful on the surface, but none of them lived past the age of 40.

At the royal banquet, a well-planned chess game was played step by step.

"Does Bai Shangshu know the nest of birds in Donglin? Birds eat insects, and insects can also eat birds. Why don't insects eat birds when they know they can eat them? Do you know why?"

The little maid came to the table, took up the jug, filled the silver cup on the table with wine, and called for a fruit plate.

"Not all worms eat birds."

The singer came to the front of the hall with small steps, raised her feet, flicked her long sleeves, and a strange fragrance wafted in the air.

"That's not necessarily the case. Bai Shangshu don't pretend to be foolish. If the bird dies in a worm's nest, which worm's nest wouldn't eat it?"

The little eunuch led the little maids past, one of them fell down, got up again, and followed.

"Does the household servant want to be a bug or a bird?"

Qian Jin walked by and dropped the pills all over the floor, but never turned around to pick them up.

"Forehead……"

The minister came to the table, toasted and left.

"Bird? Worm?"

Before he could answer, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the palace: "It's not good! The second prince has been poisoned! Someone murdered the emperor's heir!"

At the same time, the little maid ran into the hall and knelt on the main hall: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Imperial Garden, Sun Qianjin fell into the water."

After the words fell, the little maid who was stopped by the guards at the entrance of the hall answered, "It's not good! Lin Jieyu killed herself with a three-foot white silk!"

Before everyone could react, there was a scream in the hall: "Ah! Prime Minister Li died of drinking!"

Everyone fell into a panic, and in the panic, someone's voice interjected: "Come here! Fengyi Palace is flooded!"

This farce is just trying to attract someone.

In the main hall, Donghu Yu sat on the dragon chair with his legs crossed and watched all this with a smile.Tilting his hand, he spilled the poisoned wine in the glass on the ground.

The empress dowager at the side glanced at the little emperor and took a sip of tea: "Won't the emperor go take a look? If you lose popular support, prestige, popular support, reputation, do you know that you will have nothing?"

The little emperor tilted his head and smiled: "What do those trash things of yours have to do with me? I just need to protect the person I want to protect, and that's enough."

After finishing speaking, the little emperor smashed the poisoned wine cup in his hand on the ground, and ordered: "Pass down the order, those lackeys of the Queen Mother who want to die, let them die, whoever dares to save, whose head I want!"

After a word, everyone thought that the little emperor was driven crazy by the empress dowager, no one listened to him, and the person who should be saved was saved, except Bai Shangshu who was sitting by the side.

The damned man came back to life, the little emperor stepped forward with his sword, intending to kill those who didn't listen to him, but before he stepped forward, he was stopped by the guards.

Two guards stepped forward with knives, and the two gleaming knives rested on the little emperor's neck.

The little emperor looked angrily at the guard holding a knife around his neck, and said angrily, "Chop! You two bumbling trash! You are going to chop!"

The guard still held the knife against the little emperor's neck, indifferent.

The little emperor took a step forward, and the two guards took a step back. When the little emperor suddenly bumped into the knife, the two guards shook their hands in fright.

The Empress Dowager really couldn't tolerate the little emperor's mischief, so she ordered someone to tie the little emperor back to the dragon chair.

This play still has to be performed, if the little emperor continues to make such a fuss, how can he defeat the enemies in the dark?

After some unnecessary struggles, the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair was given poisoned wine on the spot. Bai Shangshu, Dali Siqing and a group of forces wanted to rescue him, but the enemy was in the clear and they were in the dark. Get out and they will...

If no one stepped forward, the Empress Dowager might really kill the little emperor.

If the little emperor died, they would die too.Since they chose the little emperor, the little emperor is their reliance.

Someone has to sacrifice.

Seeing the little emperor being tied up on the dragon chair and dying from pain, Bai Shangshu ordered someone to call the imperial doctor who was waiting at the side.The imperial doctor hurried to treat him.

After a long period of diagnosis and treatment, the imperial doctor also cured the poison of the little emperor for many years.The Empress Dowager didn't stop her, she just sat aside and watched.

Bai Shangshu took a step forward: "The poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, not to mention that the Holy Majesty is your grandson of the Empress Dowager, why did the Empress Dowager do such a terrible thing?"

The queen mother who sat beside the dragon chair smiled.Tilting his head, he pretended to think for a while, then smashed the teacup, pretending to be angry: "Bai Shangshu, you are so brave! You want to usurp the throne?"

Bai Shangshu laughed and said: "Oh? How did the Empress Dowager see it? Could it be that the imperial doctor diagnosed the wrong pulse? Prescribed the wrong medicine?"

The Empress Dowager took the teacup brought by the little palace maid again, lifted the lid of the tea, and smelled the tea: "The second prince was poisoned, Sun Qianjin fell into the water, Lin Jieyu was three feet in white silk, Prime Minister Li died of drinking, and Fengyi Palace left." Water... How do you explain this pile?"

When the Empress Dowager finished speaking, the "victims" beside her all pointed their finger at Bai Shangshu.

The second prince clutched his chest and retched for a while: "Bai Shangshu, why does this prince say that the person who hurt me is so familiar, so it is Bai Shangshu!"

Sun Qianjin wrung out the water from her hair, and then wrung out her wet clothes: "I looked at Mian Shan, and when I fell into the water, I saw someone behind me. It turned out that Bai Shangshu did it!"

Lin Jieyu wrung the silk handkerchief and wept bitterly: "The concubine has lost her innocence long ago, so why did Bai Shangshu press so hard to kill the concubine? Now that the matter has come to an end, what face is there for the concubine? The concubine might as well die..."

Prime Minister Li angrily knocked over the wine glass on the table: "As an official, Bai Shangshu, the truth is that I only lent you 300 taels of silver and have not returned it. Why are you so harmful to the truth?"

The little maid of Fengyi Palace knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Fengyi Palace doesn't move water out of thin air. The slaves thought it was a ghost fire spread among the people. If they hadn't seen Bai Shangshu...the slaves wouldn't dare to pass by..."

When the little emperor woke up, the situation was dead.

The Empress Dowager ordered someone to summon the little palace maid and singer who brought the fruit plate, as well as the little eunuch, Luo Qianjin and others.

They all gave their "criminal evidence" one by one.

The little court lady carrying the fruit plate: "When my servant was carrying the fruit plate for Bai Shangshu, I heard Bai Shangshu say, 'Does the servant of the household department want to be a worm or a bird?', as far as the servant knows, the bird means the phoenix, and the worm means Dragon, there is often a saying in the folks, phoenix and dragon mean power, Bai Shangshu should want to tie up factions, it should be Bai Shangshu's carelessness, let the slaves listen to it, oh, yes, poison is also given by Bai Shangshu For slaves, the slaves threw the poison to Prime Minister Li and handed it over to Luo Qianjin."

The little emperor kicked the jade dragon table in front of him: "Full of nonsense! You bastards! I..."

Before the words finished, the little emperor's mouth was blocked by the maid holding a silk handkerchief.

Luo Qianjin hurriedly knelt forward and said: "After casting the poison, I left in a hurry, the medicine was spilled, but Bai Shangshu told me to go to the singer to see what happened to the three-foot white silk, here, that song Ji's long sleeves hang on the empress's neck."

The singer cried: "Bai Shangshu forced me to do it. If I don't do it, my sister will die at his hands. If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, my sister is a maid who works for Bai Shangshu. Bai Shangshu has Ask my younger sister to set the fire, my younger sister is timid and afraid of death, so she fell down when walking with the maid because of her impatience."

The little palace maid standing beside her immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "I hope the Empress Dowager can save this servant..."

Hearing these unnecessary things, the little emperor was about to despair, but his body was tied up, his mouth was gagged, and he was deeply helpless... He was really helpless...

When everyone thought that the dead end was dead...

"It's ridiculous. In order to give the people a reason, it's really absurd to bring the secret things to the surface."

After the words fell, the little emperor's rope split, and everyone fell to the ground one after another...

Fog, it was fog again, that memory was erased, and Dong Lingbai's family was punished by the nine clans.

During the rainy season, Bai Keqing and Bai Yixi were escorted to the gate of Qing's house in Dali Temple.

Lord Mo sent them to prison for a reason of pending trial.

When will the empress dowager and the thief die, and when will they be released from prison.But...if the stipulated time limit is up and the little emperor has not killed the empress dowager, Bai Keqing and Bai Yixi will have to die.

Bai Keqing and Bai Yixi cannot be released from prison, and the power of the Empress Dowager cannot reach the prison cell for the time being...

In the final analysis, it was Mr. Mo who killed more than 200 members of Dong Lingbai's family, just because he was the Minister of Dali Temple.

But the culprit was the Empress Dowager Yan Ci of Dadongdu.

Death means that the body has no soul.Being born means that the world has left a dead place for you.

Looking at the fish that died on the shore, Mo Guoke picked up the pen, dipped it in the ink, traced it on the paper three times, poked it again, and looked at the ink painting on the paper: "Cultivate sentiment? Three days is enough."

"Coo coo coo ~" The white dove in the sky flew into the lake, then flew to Mo Guoke's hand, and pecked at Mo Guoke's hand.

Mo Guoke looked at the small note tied to the white pigeon's leg, untied it, and looked at it.

The note read: "Brother, we have resolved the matter of the bamboo house. I heard that your father has placed you under house arrest. We have resolved everything for you. It is enough for you to play for ten or eight days. You are welcome."

Mo Guoke waved his hand, and the white dove flew away.

Mo Guoke picked up the Tao Te Ching Jing, packed up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, got up from the grass, turned around, and walked into the bamboo forest.

Thick smoke floated from a distance, and the moment the ink passed, the smoke became thicker and thicker, until it walked into a cloud of black smoke...

Totally lost.

The black smoke choked tears and snot, and Mo Guoke supported the green bamboo beside him and cried so hard that he couldn't help himself.

If this is "solved", darling... the smoke is too thick and choking!

The scalding temperature spread from the soles of the shoes to the soles of the feet, Mo Guoke covered his mouth and nose, and walked into the thick smoke.

When I saw a sea of ​​flames, I finally realized...

Mo Guoji ran to the bamboo house that was still burning, kicked open the hot bamboo door, looked around in the sea of ​​flames, and found... Bai Ke was standing in the sea of ​​flames, looking up at something.
