Empress Zhangsun's words made the other three come back to their senses.
Indeed, with the matter in front of them, there was no point in being afraid.
They had almost died a few times, but the situation in front of them was too shocking. That was why they were in a daze and didn't know what to do.
"I'm a man, but I'm not as thorough as Guanyin Maid." Li Shimin laughed at himself.
"How can I compare to Your Majesty? Your Majesty cares about the world and thinks about many things, but I only have Your Majesty in my heart." Empress Zhangsun smiled and looked at Li Shimin. "No matter what, I'll face it with Your Majesty."
This was also the reason why Empress Zhangsun could be the first to remain calm.
She was different from Li Shimin who valued power, status, and reputation.
In Empress Zhangsun's eyes, the most serious thing would be Li Shimin's death.
She had already made such preparations during the Black Tortoise Gate incident.
"Guanyin Maid …"
Li Shimin's expression was quite moved.
He naturally understood what his wife meant.
"Your Majesty and Her Majesty are so close. I'm really envious." Zhangsun Wuji raised his hand. "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should send someone to Luoyang to investigate the Xie Mansion. Ask carefully, not only the Immortals, but also the ghosts."
"Makes sense." Li Shimin nodded.
Previously, he only cared about the Immortals, but after Zhangsun Wuji's reminder, he realized that ghosts were no small matter.
He looked at the information.
This ghost was Xie Gan's concubine who was pregnant. Because of some small mistakes, Xie Gan ordered her to be beaten to death. After her death, she turned into an evil ghost and killed dozens of people, including Xie Gan's wife, in just two days.
If this was true …
Didn't that mean that the others could also turn into ghosts?
Li Shimin's eyes were filled with fear.
There were more than hundreds of people who died directly or indirectly in his hands, especially those two …
Thinking of this.
Li Shimin's heart actually beat a few times.
He had to get to the bottom of this, or he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace.
"In your opinion, who should I send?" Li Shimin looked at the two people in front of him.
The person he trusted the most was one of the two people. According to his plan, he would send one of them.
Zhangsun Wuji saw through Li Shimin's thoughts.
He trembled slightly and actually retreated a little.
He had never believed in ghosts and gods. This was also related to the fact that he was rather crafty in his actions. However, it was precisely because he did not believe in ghosts and gods that when there was a possibility of evil ghosts appearing, he was even more terrified.
Fortunately, Fang Xuanling took the initiative to speak.
"Your Majesty, allow me to make a trip."
"Good. With Minister Fang going, Zhen can rest assured." Li Shimin nodded, "Men, prepare the horse."
Fang Xuanling was not only a civil official. In his early years, he had followed Li Shimin to conquer the world.
And Li Shimin didn't plan on letting Zhangsun Wuji stay idle.
He directly ordered him to send people to investigate the places where immortals had appeared.
After a series of arrangements, Li Shimin finally felt a little relieved.
She went back to rest with Empress Zhangsun.
However, the worry between his brows could not be removed.
Tonight's news was simply too shocking.
If there really was an immortal and this immortal was dissatisfied with him, he really had no confidence in dealing with this kind of existence. Disregarding everything else, just a single bolt of lightning would be useless even if there were thousands of troops and many top experts guarding it.
There were also ghosts.
After realizing that there might really be ghosts, the quiet palace at night seemed to exude an atmosphere of fear that had never been there before.
Even before getting ready to go to bed, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask the old eunuch.
"In this palace recently … Has anyone died?"
"Your Majesty." The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully. "Four days ago, a little eunuch was punished with 20 beatings because of his incompetence. As a result, he couldn't survive the cold weather and was already buried."
“.....”
Li Shimin's expression suddenly twitched a little.
Beaten to death?
The concubine of the Xie family was also beaten to death.
"Pass down the order. From now on, all punishments in the palace are not allowed to kill anyone. Do you understand?" Li Shimin said in a serious tone towards the end.
"Yes!" The old eunuch hurriedly answered.
However, this night, Li Shimin still couldn't fall asleep.
Only when he closed his eyes.
In a daze, evil ghosts came to take his life, and then immortals scolded him. Until the next day, he had two big dark circles under his eyes and was extremely tired.
And this scene.
It was all seen by Shen Yi.
"Looks like this emperor is not too different from the history of other worlds." Shen Yi smiled.
He was neither evil nor evil, nor did he dare to say that he was an ancient saint.
"Part of the reason is because he has a guilty conscience." Clove's shadow appeared beside Shen Yi. "According to the analysis of micro-expressions, he is still very concerned about killing his brother."
"In this era, it's against morality." Shen Yi wasn't surprised at all.
For the throne, it was not uncommon for princes to kill each other. However, the morality of this world was also very particular.
Even after the incident at the Black Tortoise Gate, Li Shimin often dreamed that the ghosts of Li Jiancheng and Li Jiyuan wanted to harm him.
And now, he had heard several "ghost stories".
It would be strange if he could sleep well.
"Captain, when are you going to contact him?" Clove looked at Shen Yi with some curiosity.
Now, Li Shimin already knew about the rumors of immortals and ghosts.
And with Shen Yi's strength.
As long as he descended from the sky and showed his strength in front of the officials and even the common people.
He would be able to control the situation.
Shen Yi thought for a while, but shook his head.
"Let's wait a little longer. After the legends of immortals and ghosts are further fermented among the common people, it would be best to wait until ghosts appear in Chang 'an. To some extent, the horror of ghosts is a foil to our status."
This point was applicable to all doomsday worlds.
Just like when the Devil King was raging, the value and status of the brave were the highest. Similarly, only when the world was ending, the savior, who represented the only hope, would be above everything.
And in this world.
The horror of ghosts brought the supreme status of immortals.
First, take the initiative to do the next thing.
"But it depends a little on luck." Clove said, "Based on existing examples, I established a probability model for the appearance of ghosts. I found that the appearance of ghosts at present still has a certain probability of changing the conditions. For example, the time of death of the deceased is near the coldest time of the day, or the deceased often has a strong unwillingness, etc. Only when these conditions are met, there is a higher probability of ghosts appearing."
