Chapter 333 Die generously
Taoist Tianji paused for a moment, still doubting his life: "Bai Lin, how can you speak such holy words?"
"Holy words?" Bai Lin's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Oh, these four sentences were not said by me, but by my sister by chance."
Everyone:...
emperor:……
Is such obvious favoritism appropriate?
Bai Zhaozhao: Holy words? Sure enough, my 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization is a dimensionality reduction attack!
Just when everyone was looking at Bai Zhaozhao again, she actually nodded shamelessly: "Yes, that's right, I heard it by chance from a hermit named Wang."
Everyone:...
Whether people believe it or not, no one has exposed it.
In fact, Emperor Yongkang is very conflicted now. He does not want to hand over Taoist Tianji to the Embroidered Uniform Guards, nor does he want to label Bai Zhaozhao as a witch who brings chaos to the world.
The most troublesome thing is that things have developed to this point, and so many nobles and officials are watching helplessly. If there is no satisfactory result, who knows what kind of rumors will spread tomorrow.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Bai Zhaozhao spoke up: "Your Majesty, I feel that this Taoist Tianji is righteous and would not frame me for no reason! It is very likely that he really calculated that hexagram!"
Everyone:? ? ?
What is Princess Showa doing?
Even Taoist Tianji looked at Bai Zhaozhao in surprise. How could she say such a thing?
Bai Zhaozhao said calmly: "Didn't the Taoist priest just say that I would not be afraid even if I was punished!
Since the Taoist priest is willing to lead the way for the people of the world and is not afraid of life and death, then please go to the underworld first!
As long as the Taoist priest can prove it with his own death, everyone will believe this hexagram!"
Everyone:! ! !
Princess Showa is so strong!
Taoist Tianji was stunned and said, "You! You are indeed a disaster, you have such a cruel heart! When did I ever say that I would lead by example?"
Bai Zhaozhao sneered, "What a joke! The Taoist priest wants my life because it is the righteousness of the world, and I want your life because I am so cruel? Your double standards are so obvious, does your master know?"
Everyone: That makes sense!
Bai Zhaozhao turned around and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I promise in front of everyone now that as long as Taoist Tianji is willing to die as a warning, I, Bai Zhaozhao, will follow closely and completely eliminate the possibility of rebellion!"
Taoist Tianji:!!!
Bai Lin said anxiously: "Zhao Zhao!"
Prince An also became nervous: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Bai Hao, Bai Che, Tang Yanyan, Princess An, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Crown Prince were all shocked!
Everyone: Oh my god! What kind of lewd words are these! Bai Zhaozhao is actually willing to die!
Emperor Yongkang was also very moved: "Showa! This is not the time for you to be impulsive!"
Bai Zhaozhao smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, Zhaohe is not impulsive. If there is no satisfactory result for this matter today, then the hexagram of rebellion will become a permanent doubt!"
Indeed, even if Taoist Tianji was defeated by Bai Lin and Prince An today, he still has some real skills, so making a comeback will definitely not be a problem.
What's more, among the people present, there may be people who believe him but just don't want to speak out.
Especially the emperor, even if he believed Bai Zhaozhao this time, what about next time? What about the future?
The way of an emperor is to rather kill someone by mistake than let him go!
There was not a fool present. The meaning behind Bai Zhaozhao's intention was very clear. She was willing to die with Taoist Tianji to eliminate all future troubles!
Of course, Bai Zhaozhao didn't want to leave a reputation of being forced to die. She racked her brains again, recalled Chinese poetry, and said passionately: "I laugh at the sky with my sword, and my loyalty will remain in Kunlun! Everyone has to die since ancient times, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history!"
Everyone:! ! !
Princess Showa is so domineering! What kind of sentiment is this! Just based on these few lines of poetry, can she be remembered in history?
Everyone was excited again: "She is worthy of being the sister of Bai Zhuangyuan!"
"Oh my god! Is the gap between me and Princess Showa so huge?"
"This is a role model for women, a heroine!"
Taoist Tianji had a gloomy expression. He had never expected that Bai Zhaozhao had such courage. Even if she really died, she would completely nail herself to the pillar of shame.
How does this work?
So, he taunted, "Bai Zhaozhao, since you have even decided to die, why don't you let His Majesty investigate your life experience?"
Oh, this Taoist priest is quite sober.
Bai Zhaozhao was surprised: "My background? Hasn't my background been revealed? Taoist priest, you are changing the subject like this, are you afraid of dying?
Besides, I'm willing to die, why do you still want to investigate my background? What? What other background do you have that you have prepared for me? Are you unwilling to give it up unless you use it to deceive me?"
"You!" Taoist Tianji was furious. "Nonsense! How could I prepare a life story for you? Moreover, even ants try to survive, so why should I accompany a witch like you to die? It's really not worth it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were filled with disdain, and this Taoist Tianji was inevitably inferior.
"Not worth it?" Bai Zhaozhao said sarcastically, "Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather, it all depends on how they are used! Taoist priest, you should think clearly, for the sake of the stability of the people of the world, you died for a good cause, how can it not be worth it?"
Now everyone started to agree:
"Well said! This is the true righteousness!"
"Princess Showa is so loyal and brave, how could she possibly rebel? I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either! Such a noble spirit appearing in a woman would simply put all men in the world to shame!"
"That's right. If a woman as dignified and righteous as Princess Showa were forced to death by a mere hexagram, it would be a sign of our incompetence as men!"
"..."
Listening to everyone's whispers, Taoist Tianji's face became extremely ugly.
At this time, an old man who had been silent all this time stood up. Just as he walked to the middle and was about to salute, Emperor Yongkang hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Uncle, there is no need to be so polite! Just tell me if you have any instructions!"
Everyone quieted down and looked at the old man respectfully.
Bai Zhaozhao was also slightly surprised. She knew that this old man was the most senior person in the royal family. He was given the title of Prince Heng and also served as the Chief of the Imperial Clan.
Prince Heng spoke slowly, "It is easy to die bravely, but it is difficult to die calmly! The words of Princess Zhaohe today are quite in line with the style of our Tang family's great ancestor! How about this, we can ask Master Guiyuan to come and verify the hexagram of Taoist Tianji. If it is true, we should also find a way to crack it! Your Majesty, Queen Mother, what do you think?"
The solution?
Yes! Since it is a calamity, is there no way to break it?
The Queen Mother agreed immediately: "Uncle Huang is right! Someone, go and invite Master Guiyuan to the palace!"
"Yes!"
Bai Zhaozhao secretly sighed, thinking that she probably couldn’t fake her death!
That's right, she had secretly contacted Tietie a long time ago and was ready to stage a fake death. After escaping, she would go to Yunwu Mountain to hide for a while, and when she reappeared, she would be a brand new Bai Zhaozhao!
However, before she fakes her death, this Taoist Tianji must really die!
It’s hard to say now. Master Guiyuan treats her very well. Maybe he can really solve this problem, and then she won’t have to die.
Did I just act too cool?
If she doesn't have to die, then Tianji Taoist doesn't have to die either, right?
hehe! Don't even think about it!
