Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 497
The next day, the Empress Dowager went to the court to listen to the government. Although the Empress Dowager's spirit did not seem to be very good, she still insisted on dealing with the affairs of the court. She could not show weakness, because if she showed a little powerlessness, it might be very serious. Something happened, her power is not very stable, and now is the time to be stable, if something happens, she really can't control these powers.

The ministers naturally analyzed these matters. The Queen Mother was sitting there, looking really not very good. Several ministers among them glanced at each other and decided to say something. One of them seemed to be their head, so they came out Report: The empress dowager may have caused some bad things recently, but I can help you find some masters who can exorcise ghosts and evil, so that good things will happen. "

These witchcraft techniques are somewhat forbidden in the palace, but now the queen mother is very concerned about her body, so she doesn't care about these things anymore. She always feels that things are not going well during this time. For these so-called feng shui and luck related words, it is also a way to find some masters.

So when the queen mother heard that it was indeed a solution, she entrusted those ministers to do it.The minister at the head winked at the people behind, and they got together after they went down to discuss the matter of finding a master for the queen mother. These few didn't come out to talk about it rashly, but they really were Get to know a few people who sound mysterious, but whether it works or not is another matter.

"Are you guys sure about finding those people?" the leading minister asked.

One of them said, "I don't know if it can make people live forever, but it's absolutely fine to show off. Isn't the empress dowager just something in her heart? What about gods and ghosts, no I still feel uneasy and start to fear death.”

"It makes sense. Anyway, the old woman, the Queen Mother, is still confused now. Let's find someone first." The other said.

The leading minister didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he said, "Then go and find these people quickly, the queen mother seems to be very anxious to get these people."

Those few people discussed for a while, all of them were full of joy, as if they felt that the glory and wealth were about to come, so the more they talked, the more energetic they became, and they wished they could go to the Queen Mother to offer treasures now.

However, these ministers really found a group of people later, and this group of masters walked around the palace after entering the palace, saying that they must first make them feel respected.

To put it bluntly, it's just asking for money. Of course, the queen mother will not fail to hear this kind of asking for money, but she doesn't seem to care about these asking for money now, as long as she can make her life better and eliminate the current bad luck It is the best. I have to say that these ministers and masters have figured out what the queen mother is thinking. She felt that the money was nothing but possessions outside her body, and compared to her life, it was nothing.

These masters have figured out the thoughts of noble people like the Queen Mother, so they are very skillful in speaking. They only say that as long as there are sacrifices, they can continue their lives, and they can even make themselves live like gods, and they have described many gods. The queen mother has never heard of these immortal realms, and they are not the same as the Buddhist scriptures she read before.

These masters say they are masters, but in fact most of them are fake Taoists who have read half-baked Taoism, but they speak in a set way, which made the queen mother completely convinced, and didn't even think about whether it was true or not.

The queen mother understood the meaning of these masters as soon as she heard it, and asked people to prepare a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry for sacrifices.

The masters naturally acted unmoved by the gold and silver treasures, which convinced the Queen Mother even more, but these masters still have some skills, walking around many places in the palace, talking The feng shui is not good, and while talking about the ghosts and ghosts of what era, the minister told them some private things in the palace before, so when they told some palace secrets, the queen mother seemed to trust them even more.

The ceremonies performed by these masters are quite decent. They follow the Taoist ceremonies. The Taoist rites are called "jiao", which has strict procedures. Drumming, welcoming, praying to God, singing to God and so on.The whole process is accompanied by prescribed rituals such as chanting mantras and scriptures, stepping on the ground and fighting. According to Taoism, this is a ritual to communicate with God.Taoism believes that praying for blessings and avoiding disasters, seeking immortality and prolonging life, saving the dead and other things that are beyond the reach of human beings can be achieved through seeking the power of gods in this way.The "Jinzhuan Dajiao" held exclusively for the emperor lasted for 49 days.Of course, the ceremony they performed for the queen mother was not that complicated. It was just a symbolic ceremony to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, but it actually had no serious effect.

However, this posture is very big. The queen mother seems to believe what they said, and she is a little bit slack about the government, thinking about the big event of her being able to live forever.

After two days of expelling demons and ghosts, these masters told the queen mother that they would live for ten thousand years, and the current illness was just the end of their lives for the first time.

Su Ruoqi and Yunxi outside the palace also knew about this, Yunxi was the most surprised, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to believe these things, but she wasn't too surprised, emperors throughout the ages have reached the Queen Mother's age, no matter what Those who believe these are very few. Even if they are as mighty as Qin Huang and Han Wu, these things are still the same. In their later years, they pursue longevity frantically, even at all costs. In Yunxi's view, the current queen mother is just the same.

It's just that the queen mother's somewhat crazy move now, I don't know if it is a good opportunity, a chance to completely disappear the queen mother's unstable rule.But all of this still needs time to observe, Yun Xi feels that she can afford to wait, and coincidentally, Su Ruoqi also thinks so.

In short, there has not been any discordant voice in the court for what the queen mother is doing now. It seems that the courtiers have not expressed any dissatisfaction with the queen mother's behavior. I've seen them all, and it's not a very unusual thing, so the courtiers didn't care.
