Chapter 2996 Forced marriage (44)

To wait until the immature little hands grow up and grow into adults, the time needed is not long or short.

During this period, the situation in the court became more and more changed.

The emperor who used to be obsessed with poetry and songs, did not know when he began to delve into the art of cultivating immortals.

At first, he just had a preliminary understanding, but later, with the help of the empress, he gradually became interested in this technique of cultivating immortals.

In order to cultivate immortals, he sent people to invite many Taoist priests who practiced elixir from the people, as well as many semi-immortals who claimed to be masters of the Tao, and learned a lot of crooked techniques from them.

These people, who are especially eloquent, immediately coaxed him around as soon as they came, as if possessed by a demon, completely losing the ability to think.

First, they went to Penglai to seek immortals, and built a mountain temple with great fanfare, which cost a lot of money.

Even, a half-immortal said that the afterbirth clothes of a thousand pregnant women with the most yin constitution were mixed with the baby's hard work, and it was refined in a slow fire for seven to forty-nine days, and mixed with ginseng, poria cocos, and herb Take it together, you can get the effects of prolonging life and nourishing qi and blood.

The emperor, who was so deceived that he couldn't turn his head, heard it, and didn't doubt whether it was true or not. With a wave of his hand, he was about to send someone to catch the pregnant woman.

Finally, Pei Tingwen, who came after hearing the news, forcibly cut off his crazy request.

The emperor is demented, and the courtiers have the right to act on behalf of the sky.

The situation was serious, Pei Tingwen ordered all the imperial army to guard, arrest all the fake Taoist priests, and kill them on the spot, leaving no one behind.

The methods were tough and vigorous, which promoted the entire purge process.

The emperor was furious and reprimanded him for his treason.

There is a gap between the monarch and his ministers. At this time, the queen has an opportunity to take advantage of it.

She kept blowing the pillow wind in the emperor's ears, leading him to think that Pei Tingwen was a traitor, trying to gain imperial power.

The emperor who never talked to him before, under such influence, the rift between him and Pei Tingwen widened even more.

Especially, when Pei Tingwen was able to forcibly accept his order and ordered all the court guards inside and outside the palace to obey him alone, he finally reacted

I have delegated too much power to a relative.

Decentralization of power too much, the imperial prestige of calling himself has disappeared, and everyone can ignore him as the emperor and his imperial orders.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly take root, germinate, and finally grow into towering trees that can never be cut down again.

But under the queen's pillow, the emperor became more irritable and irritable, and lost his temper every day in the palace.

Like a demented child, impotent and furious, he kept torturing the servants in the palace.

He tried to seize power in vain and regain power.

How can it be so easy to take back something that has already been taken by someone?

What's more, the target is the Pei family who has military power.

With military power, there are roots. Even if the courtiers disagree with the Pei family, they dare not resist it openly.

So, even if the emperor is in the court hall, in front of hundreds of courtiers, he yells that Pei Tingwen is a traitor and should be killed immediately

No one dared to move, and no one responded.

Deadly silence.

The soldiers waiting outside the hall were even more indifferent, as if they had lost their hearing and could not hear anything.

The party involved, Pei Tingwen, was dressed in a crimson court dress, holding a wat board, standing upright at the head of the court officials, with a calm and indifferent face, listening to the reprimand from the people on the dragon chair, his expression remained unchanged.
