In the palaces of all dynasties, witchcraft was strictly prohibited.

The reason is very simple, the emperor is afraid of becoming a victim.

The most typical case is the witchcraft rebellion by Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of people involved, even the prince and queen who had been in charge for decades died in it.

At this time, a witchcraft incident suddenly occurred in the Tang Dynasty palace. In Zhang San's words, life is becoming more and more verdicts.

Everyone on the archery field looked at Wang Xiao with complicated expressions.

But Wang Xiao remained calm and slowly drew his bow and arrow, and shot the bull's eye with one arrow.

After slowly falling bow, Wang Xiao then said softly, "Oh".

Li Linfu, who was carefully planning this matter, was full of doubts.

This is a witchcraft thing, why did the emperor react as if he didn't understand at all?

Putting down the bow and arrow, Wang Xiao pulled his half-wisted clothes and signaled to Guo Ziyi, Abe Zhongmalu and others, "You go out and wait first."

Although he was full of curiosity, he had to listen to the emperor's words.

Everyone suppressed the gossip fire in their hearts and turned around and left the archery field three times.

Now only Wang Xiao and Li Linfu are left here. He held the bow and signaled, "Li Linfu, do you know what this is?"

Li Linfu, whose temples had already started to sweat, resisted and said, "It's a bow."

Wang Xiao stepped forward, walked to his side, and then put the bow around his neck. "What do you think of the punishment of strangling the bowstring to death?"

Feeling the cold bowstring, Li Linfu trembled all over.

He suddenly knelt on the ground and cried and shouted, "Your Majesty, I know I am wrong. I am guilty, I am guilty~"

Although he was a treacherous minister, Li Linfu had a very good mind.

He noticed the crisis, so he did not resist it. Instead, he voluntarily pleaded guilty and begged for mercy without Wang Xiao even providing any evidence.

This is a kind of intuition that is almost like a beast predicting danger.

Li Linfu realized that Wang Xiao was not joking with him, but that he was really murderous, so he immediately knelt down.

You can't kneel if you don't kneel. You don't kneel even if you put your neck around. Li Linfu doesn't have such a hard bone.

Wang Xiao squatted down in Asia and looked at him with a smile, "Then let's talk about it carefully. What's wrong with you? What's your fault? If you make it clear, you may still be able to see the sun tomorrow. If you can't make it clear."

Wang Xiao didn't finish his words, he just played the bowstring.

The 'buzzing' sound of the bow strings made Li Linfu shudder.

He hurriedly told the whole thing from beginning to end.

In fact, there is nothing complicated. The essential reason is that Queen Wang has no son, so she wants to ask for son.

After Wu Yuner learned the news, she felt that this was a good opportunity to defeat the queen.

She asked her relative Wu Sumei for help, while Wu Sumei came to Li Linfu.

Li Linfu, who was ambitious but lacked help, immediately decided to cooperate with Wu Yuner. The two of them were in the inner palace and the outer court, one attacked the queen throne, and the other ran towards the position of the chief prime minister.

Then the sister and brother-in-law of Queen Wang found a witch named Ma in Chang'an City and introduced a witchcraft talisman to pray for a child into the palace.

Li Linfu caught the witch Ma and got the confession, so he seized the opportunity to come to Wang Xiao to reveal the matter.

But what he didn't expect was that Wang Xiao didn't care about witchcraft at all.

Queen Wang and the others have never had children, because Wang Xiao refines essence and turns into qi, and it is useless to ask for any kind of magic talisman.

"You are quite brave to connect to the inner palace."

Wang Xiao patted Li Linfu on the shoulder and said, "You said, how should I punish you?"

At this time, Li Linfu couldn't think of any plan, so he could only keep begging for mercy.

He is not stupid, he actually knows that he will not die if he sins.

Because he didn't make up the witchcraft incident, but Queen Wang himself did it.

At most, Li Linfu is a crime of connecting with the harem.

To be honest, this crime is really not a big deal in the Tang Dynasty. Who among the government and the country has never done this?

Of course, Li Linfu was so clever that he didn't shout, "I will not die if I sin," because he was worried that this would anger Wang Xiao.

He kept begging for mercy and placed his position in the soil.

Wang Xiao stood up and said, "Get up."

Looking at Li Linfu who was still in shock, Wang Xiao said calmly, "For you are still honest, I will spare your life this time."

Li Linfu was grateful and thanked him, so Wang Xiao said, "The death penalty is avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. I will give you a chance. As an envoy, you will go to Tubo. After you get there, you secretly support Princess Jincheng to seize power. If things fail, you will have to fight in the Tubo in an internal battle.

If you do it, you will have to pay off your merits and demerits. If you can't do it, you won't have to come back."

Tubo has always been the most serious external threat to the Tang Dynasty, and is even more threatening than the resurrected Turks.

Now the Kaiyuan prosperous era is gradually emerging, and Wang Xiao does not want to be disturbed by the Tubo people.

So I gave Li Linfu a chance to survive. Isn’t he good at conspiracy? Then go to Tubo to provoke internal struggles and let the Tubo people fight hard, and don’t give them a chance to go down the mountain.

Wang Xiao always remembers that the Tang soldiers who were white-haired and guarding the Western Regions in history were swallowed up by the Tubo people.

Li Linfu's best achievement can be considered a result of his merits and demerits.

If you fail, there will be no loss. You are just a treacherous minister.

After Li Linfu left with lingering fear, Wang Xiao began to consider how to deal with this matter.

It’s not enough to depose the queen, but Queen Wang must have to beat her up.

And the sister and brother-in-law who do her work naturally have to pay the price.

There are also Wu Yuner and her relatives, and these Wu family members have never been worried about it.

A witchcraft incident that was enough to cause a huge storm was quickly calmed down under Wang Xiao's strong suppression.

The queen was scolded and her family members were severely punished.

Wu Yun'er was locked in the cold palace to calm down. No one knew when she would come out.

All the Wu family members who participated were exiled and would never think of returning to Chang'an City in their lifetime.

Another thing is that after Gao Lishi was severely slapped by Wang Xiao, he launched the cleaning of the palace again.

Wang Xiao didn't care about witchcraft, but he couldn't tolerate collusion between inside and outside.

This big thing that would have been very troubled was quickly calmed down.

In the days that followed, the Tang Dynasty was calm.

With many outstanding tools and tools, Wang Xiao is also happy and free.

There is no need to work hard, and others will put credit on him. Who can’t like such a good thing?

The major events before gradually began to come to an end.

The matter of circumcising the land of the world temples and strictly prohibiting high interest rates has ended.

The massive land yields found in various places were as high as tens of millions of acres of land. A large number of money, cloth, copper and other goods were found from many temples.

Strictly control the number of dictators. Those who do not have dictators will force the return of secular life, and many temples even went bankrupt directly because of this.

Although some people were unwilling to accept their choice to resist with various methods, in front of the soldiers of the Northern Imperial Army, any kind of resistance became a joke.

Most of the fields found were found to be academic fields in various places.

Normal schools began to send graduates annually, and they started to carry out popular education as teachers in schools in various places.

At least so far, the arrangements in each state have been completed. The next step is to fully promote them to all counties.

Xue Chongjian's business also achieved results and began to get on track.

He had a relationship with the Tubo people and smuggled a large amount of contraband to Tubo, including the fine salt mixed with lead powder.

After that, the transaction with the Black Food Festival began to go smoothly. Mines everywhere expressed their satisfaction with the employees sent by their Xue family, and they would definitely not be vague when paying for the money.

It’s not that no one sued the Xue family, but when Wang Xiao came, there was no sound, and everyone knew what was going on.

There are also people who want to participate in these businesses, but unfortunately they will be hit as long as they start doing business, and they will be completely damaged.

Xue Chongjian is a unique person from Wang Xiao, but he never thought that this matter would be something that anyone could do.

Dou Huaizhen's work has also ended. He checked out the situation of the noble family and wealthy families occupying the land. The resistance he encountered was far beyond the reach of those bald heads with a lot of heart.

Assassination alone has encountered more than ten times, and various military confrontations have emerged one after another.

Wang Xiao fulfilled his promise for these things.

No one who attacked Dou Huaizhen was let go. Those who fought with force were directly the soldiers who drove over and stepped on the ground.

Whoever dares to resist, both the princess and the prince will end up with one end.

After this attack, the aristocratic families that have been suppressed for hundreds of years have basically been completely finished and have no strength to call the wind and rain.
