Chapter 1 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (1)

Qingzhou, Qidong County, Zhao'an Prefecture.

In the backyard of Prince Lu's Mansion, outside the Huainian Hall of Fengxiang Palace, several eunuchs who came by imperial decree were standing at the door and whispering.

"Which one did you choose, the dagger, the crimson crest, or the white silk?"

"I chose the red crested crocus."

"That's good, it saves us from having to go in and get her down from the beam, and it also saves us from seeing too much blood and making things difficult to clean up. Besides, the Crane's Beak Red is a better choice than the other two. We can just drink it without worrying about the consequences. There shouldn't be any need for us to go in and help."

“It’s hard to say, but we still have to give Princess Lu some respect. Let’s go in and take a look after an hour.

If she hasn't drunk it yet, we have to give her some respect."

"I hope we don't have to do anything."

……

Three hours had passed by the time Ding Shui got through the soaring resentment, formed a pact with the ghost of Princess Lu, and officially entered this world, agreeing to help her take revenge and resolve the grudge.

After taking the poison of Crane's Beak Red, Princess Lu suffered torture for nearly two incense sticks of time, and finally vomited blood and passed away with a blue face. Her body has been placed in a coffin that has been prepared long ago, and she only needs to be kept in peace for seven days before being buried.

Ding Shui is in the coffin, at the altar of the corpse.

Check out Princess Lu's memories to understand her resentment.

The Princess of Lu's surname was Meng and her given name was Mingyu. She was the eldest daughter of Duke Shu. Five years ago, she was married to Zhu Qin, the Prince of Lu. Four years ago, she followed the Prince of Lu to his fiefdom and settled in Zhao'an Prefecture in Qingzhou.

He doesn't have a good relationship with King Lu on weekdays.

Later it could even be described as terrible.

Because the King of Lu is really a piece of shit.

It was okay when he was in the capital. After all, he was under the emperor's nose. The most he did was practice making ordinary elixirs when he had nothing to do, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous or do anything wrong.

However, as he became a vassal and lived under the emperor's nose, he became far away from the emperor. Therefore, Prince Lu began to do evil things without restraint. There is no need to mention his other minor evil deeds, but the biggest evil was refining human elixir.

In a vain attempt to seek immortality.

The so-called human elixir is a relatively popular and relatively obscure alchemy method in the alchemy world of this dynasty, or a faction, and its core is to use part of a human being to make elixirs.

The main idea is to supplement the body with the same kind of things and to supplement the people with the same kind of things.

The lower-end, or relatively restrained ones mainly use boy's urine, or the private parts of girls under the age of marriage, to make elixirs.

It is basically used as a medicine inducer.

Those who are more daring and have no bottom line will do much worse. Heart blood and even some special parts of the human body can be used to make human elixirs.

It can be regarded as the prototype of the Kingdom of Monks and the City of Children.

When Prince Lu was refining pills, he used raw materials of no real substance, which harmed many people. The original body didn't know about it at the time, after all, she didn't like refining pills.

Two years ago, Prince Lu Zhu Qin was in trouble and his actions were exposed by the censor, and he was subsequently recalled to the capital.

As for what punishment?
Haha, a series of officials including the Chief Secretary of the Royal Palace were all executed because they failed to fulfill their responsibility to persuade the king and stop Prince Lu. In addition, the Minister of Rites who had originally taught Prince Lu was also dismissed and arrested. His education was inadequate.

If a child is not taught strictly, it is the teacher's fault, which is reasonable. But if a child is not taught strictly, it is the father's fault, which is not mentioned at all.

As for Prince Lu, he was released after reflecting on his mistakes in the capital for three months. By the way, his salary was also deducted for half a year.

There is much dissatisfaction among the public and officials about this.

It is also impossible to change Emperor Tianwu's decision.

How can a prince who breaks the law be punished the same as a commoner? The so-called loving the people like one's own children is nothing but policy propaganda. I wonder if they really think his sword is not sharp enough, or that the nine clans are too many.

After returning home, Prince Lu was safe for less than two months before he returned to his old ways and continued to refine the human elixir, but this time he was more cautious and bolder than before. After all, compared to the immortality he wanted to obtain, the punishment he suffered was insignificant.

What’s the big deal about returning to the capital to reflect for three months?
Half a year's salary is even less important.

Which prince really relies on salary to live?

The so-called more cautious means that they do it more covertly, and the bolder ones think that refining elixirs with children's hearts and livers cannot achieve immortality, and that the innate qi in the body may have dissipated after birth, so they begin to try to use unborn children to refine elixirs.

Perhaps that is the only way to be considered as the innate nature of the Tai Chi method.

Because of the innate energy, one can live long.

The original body later vaguely discovered something, and tried to persuade him several times, and even saved some pregnant women and children. Then he sent people back to his mother's home, hoping to use the power of his mother's home to impeach and stop Prince Lu Zhu Qin from continuing to do evil.

Unfortunately, she had already exposed herself by rescuing someone, and later wanted to send her own steward to the capital to file a complaint, which further offended the Prince of Lu. Although being imprisoned for three months was nothing, it was better to avoid going if possible. So the Prince of Lu decisively sent someone to kill the original person's steward, and then killed all the original person's maids and the village head's close associates.

At the same time, he personally tortured the original body for three days and put him in solitary confinement.

It took half a year of recuperation before I could get out of bed.

After that, he was locked up and couldn't even leave the yard where he lived, so naturally he couldn't try to do anything.

Some local officials discovered the situation and wanted to impeach.

Almost all of them were assassinated by him.

The rest did not intervene in the matter either out of fear or because Emperor Tianwu's previous actions were chilling.

After all, what would happen if he was impeached?
Put him in solitary confinement for another three months, and then kill some officials in the palace. Then, when he comes out, kill his entire family?
The previously impeached censor died in a fire in his family of 17 three months after Prince Lu returned to his fiefdom. The case was later closed as an accidental fire.

Who would believe it? But what if you don’t believe it?
Two years later, three months ago.

Families whose pregnant women or children were missing or murdered found out something was wrong and, with the help of some officials who had known about the incident for a long time but did not dare to do anything, they finally made a big deal out of it. Under the tacit and secret protection of a group of officials, they went to the capital to file a complaint under the imperial edict.

The so-called Great Edict was a simplified version of the law book compiled and issued by Emperor Tianwu under the guise of loving the people like his own children and ruling for them. If a commoner was mistreated by an official, they could bring this law book to the capital to file a complaint, and no one could stop them. This earned a considerable reputation, and some officials deeply resented it. They even protected those who filed complaints, perhaps with a motive of revenge.

Why do they have extremely low salaries and will be skinned and stuffed with straw for embezzling a few dozen taels of silver, while his sons have extremely high salaries and can do evil things without getting hurt?

Even though they knew that doing so would not do anything to Prince Lu Zhu Qin, they were still willing to do so. At least it could make those ignorant people who thought that the emperor loved the people like his own children sober up, and it could also improve the reputation of Emperor Tianwu in history books.

And make more officials fully aware.

What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. The current emperor has no intention of ruling the world with them. He just treats them as domestic slaves who can be beaten or killed at will and who can be kept from starving to death.

It will be convenient for them to form a group in the future and practice together what it means for the king to treat his subjects as worthless and for the subjects to treat their king as an enemy.
