The official family was poisoned by the traitors!

In the Sanqing Hall, Cao Tai's sharp voice came, panting and impatient.

After hearing this, Jinzhan, who was kneeling helplessly in front of the statue, stood up from the cushion in surprise, turned to look at Cao Tai, the anger and anxiety on her face appeared alternately, making her cheeks turn red in an instant.

I'll go over and take a look.Jinzhan immediately left Sanqing Hall.

When they arrived at the Wansui Palace, a group of imperial doctors were brought to the Queen Jinzhan, and they were still arguing.

Lu Lan and several imperial doctors used the pulse as evidence to deny that Guo Shao was a symptom of poisoning.

But the Imperial Medical Office Order insisted: You just don’t have much knowledge.It is a rare poison that has gradually taken effect. I saw a person who was poisoned once in my early years. The pulse and signs of poisoning are no different from those of the current official family!It is said that the rare poison comes from outside the border.

The old imperial doctor immediately agreed and said in a disdainful tone: Madam Lu has the reputation of a miracle doctor and has a good level of cultivation in medical skills, but she is too young after all, and how many roads she walks and bridges she crosses...

Jinzhan was in a very complicated mood at this time, and her mind was in a mess. She took a long breath and said coldly: Cao Tai, immediately seal the Wansui Palace and send someone to see everyone here!

Cao Tai hurriedly clasped his fists and said: I will follow the imperial edict.

When the imperial doctors heard this, their conversation paused and looked at each other.

Jinzhan asked the Imperial Medical Department again: Is there an antidote?

The old man frowned and said: The old minister believes that he has traveled a lot and has a lot of knowledge, but he has only seen it once in his life and does not know how to detoxify... It is said that this poison comes from an ancient tomb, it is colorless and tasteless, and ordinary people do not know it, and it will only occur over time.

Jinzhan asked: What did you see intoxicated people?

The old man lowered his head and said helplessly: Go back to the Queen, when the incident was found to be a poisoning case, the victim had already poisoned the five internal organs and died.

After hearing this, Jinzhan frowned and said: You must find a way to detoxify the official family!

Look... Everyone responded in a low voice.

Jinzhan then stood up and left the hall, and walked quickly into the side hall with a group of followers.

When I saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids who had been driven here to gather together, I saw the queen coming in, some kneel down, and some bow to the emperor to pay homage to the queen.

Jinzhan said nothing, walked to the palace maid leader Li Shanggong and stood for a while.

Li Shanggong half-squatted, looked at the floor with his head down, his body gradually trembled, and after a moment, his body softened and he fell to the ground: I have to die if I am dereliction of duty!

The side hall became silent, and everyone lowered their heads tremblingly, fearing that they would be noticed.Jinzhang walked slowly past everyone, and his bright eyes looked at them very carefully.

After a while, Yang Shiliang and Jingniang entered and they held their fists to meet.

Jinzhan then turned around and looked at them, leaving the place without saying a word to people on the spot.She came to Guo Shao's bedroom to visit, and then Yang Shiliang and Jingniang and others followed in.

Jinzhan sat beside Guo Shao's bed and said without looking back: You are in accordance with the imperial edict of this palace and do not avoid the imperial concubine, eunuch, or female officials. You can search and interrogate them. Find out who is harming the official family!

yes!

Yang Shiliang whispered: I have something to do...

Jinzhang turned around and looked at him coldly and said.

Yang Shiliang pondered for a moment and bowed and said: Not long ago, Concubine Li Xian (Li Yueji) met some Dangxiang people from the northwest in the palace gate. I sent someone to listen secretly. The Dangxiang people wanted Concubine Li Xian to say good things in front of the official family... I reported this to the official family, but we didn't pay much attention to it because the Dangxiang people didn't say anything else.When I think about it now, it seems a little strange.

Cao Tai immediately glared and said: Didn’t the imperial doctor say that the poison comes from outside the border?!Who else in this palace who can get close to the official family is besides Concubine Li Xian?

Yang Shiliang nodded and said: So I feel it is strange.Moreover, the official family defeated Pingxia, and was the enemy of his father Li Yiyin; recently Daxu's army attacked the Dangxiang tribe again... Who can know whether Concubine Li holds a grudge against the official family?

Jinzhan said anxiously: Send someone to Li Xianfei's palace to find out the truth as soon as possible, and force the detoxification method to save the official family first!

She looked at the tall roof of the Wansui Hall, as if there was a layer of haze on her head, making people breathless.

She immediately said to Cao Tai: Go and prepare and change the official family. My second sister and I will serve you in close proximity, so that outsiders will no longer be allowed to get close to you.

……

The emperor may not be seriously ill, but the news of poisoning has not yet reached the foreign court outside Xuanyou Sect; however, because of this incident, the Imperial Medical Office has long been alarmed, and all the civil and military officials in the court knew that the emperor was bedridden and unconscious.

Ministers of civil and military affairs and officials of various yamen are still on duty. The various institutions of the court seem to be operating on the surface, but people have long been indifferent to work.

In this turbulent time, who still has the heart to pay attention to government affairs?

Memorials were piled up in Jinxiang Hall and Zhengshi Hall, either ignored or processed slowly.Even the prime ministers went to the Political Affairs Hall every day to go through the motions, mainly to find out the emperor's condition.

Everyone bowed and pretended to be calm and polite when they met, but no one knew what the other person was thinking about and how to plan the situation in front of him.

Dong... Suddenly a bell came.Prime Minister Fan Zhi found that Wang Pu, who was sitting opposite him, was trembling all over.

Seeing this, Fan Zhi looked up at Wang Pu and said meaningfully: Listen, the drum is also ringing, it is just the bell of the hour of You.

Wang Pu exhaled, his face a little embarrassed: It's time to go.

The two stood up and bowed seriously to face each other, and Fan Xiang announced his farewell.Wang Xiang said goodbye.

Fan Zhi was like the usual amount of money, and went home by carriage.As soon as he arrived at home, a literati wearing a cloth robe and a head-haired man hurriedly saw him, and Fan Zhi led him into the inner room and went straight to the secret room of the inner house.

The scholar stepped forward and said in a deep voice: At the entrance of Yijing Lane next to Maxing Street, Luo Yanhuan, the Duke of the Guardian, met Zuo You, the cabinet assistant.

oh?Fan Zhi was slightly surprised.

The scribe whispered: Now that the court is in turmoil, Li Chuyun leads the army outside, it is still unclear what will happen... If Li Chuyun has something, Luo Yanhuan will definitely not be able to escape. These two people are friends in distress, and no one knows that one nostrils exhaled...

He paused and said, "But Luo Yanhuan went to find Zuo You, why?"

Fan Zhi said calmly: When Guo Shao was in a state of contempt, Luo Yanhuan was recommended to him by Zuo You.It is reasonable to say that Zuo You had the kindness of knowing Luo Yanhuan.

It turns out that there is still such a past.The scholar suddenly said, and he frowned and pondered, but... Zuo You is Guo Shao's confidant, and his friendship with him must be deeper than Luo Yanhuan.

Fan Zhi sneered: If Guo Shao is still there, not only Zuo You, but also Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun are his people?

The scribe said a sudden interruption.

After the two sat opposite each other for a while, Fan Zhi stood up and moved a bookshelves away, with a piece of white cloth hanging on the wall.He lifted up the white cloth and saw a tablet in the dark wall, writing: The position of Emperor Ruiwu and Xiaowen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Fan Zhi lit three incense sticks, knelt in front of the spiritual throne with the scholar, and bowed several times.

Fan Zhi knelt there, looking sad and angry, and said nothing for a long time.

Scenes of past events surged into his heart again. In the heavy snow, Fan Zhi, who was hiding in the dilapidated temple, was found by Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Guo Wei took off his cloak and put it on him with his own hands... Under the candlelight in the middle of the night, the late emperor (Chai Rong) talked with him about Zhuye, heart-wrenching...

A scholar died for his confidant... Fan Zhi's voice was sad and humiliating, and I should have died back then.

The literati looked solemn and advised carefully: If Mr. Fan is careless of his life, it will be useless.

Fan Zhi said painfully: The late emperor entrusted his orphans and his old ministers. The old minister watched the strong man bullied the orphans and widowed mothers to usurp the throne, and even joined the traitors. How to face Taizu and the late emperor in the future?

The scholar advised: The Duke was an official in Xu Dynasty, not to seek glory, wealth, but to wait for the opportunity. If the Emperor Taizu knew about him under the spring, he would also understand the loyalty of the Duke.At that time, the traitors colluded with both internal and external forces, holding heavy troops, and then excluding dissidents, and all the power inside and outside held the hands of their gangsters. If they acted rashly, they would only give their lives in vain, so what would be the benefit of it?If all the loyal ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were useless to send their lives, they would be wiped out and there would be no hope of restoring the country...

Fan Zhi was persuaded, but suddenly became even more embarrassed and angry, gritted his teeth and said: The traitor not only usurped the throne, but actually married the widow of the late emperor. Such humiliation is simply crazy!God is angry and people are resentful!

He looked up at the tablet and said seriously: I swear in front of the late emperor that I am not ungrateful and live a life of mercy!It is actually a temporary solution to be fully qualified and wait for the opportunity.At this time, it is time for us to repay our lives!

The two kowtowed and bowed devoutly again, and then stood up.

Wen Shi said: Even if there is turmoil at this time, our strength is too weak and the future is quite worrying...

Fan Zhi sighed and gritted his teeth and said: Even if it is a sea of ​​swords and seas of fire and a thousand feet of hell, we will jump over it.Just because of such a turbulent opportunity, I'm afraid I can never wait for it again!

The scholar said seriously: What Mr. Fan said is extremely true.

Fan Zhi paced back and forth a few steps: How are you preparing for the uprising over there?

Wen Shi said: Everything is the same, and no news has been received yet, so there should be no accident.

Fan Zhi nodded and looked at the scholar and said, "I have something to ask for."

The scribe said in surprise: Why did Mr. Fan say this?If you have something to do, just give it.

Fan Zhi glanced at him and pondered: We are so powerful that we can hit the stone with our eggs, and we have to win over some old ministers... We have to receive the favors of Taizu and the late emperor, and we must have real power.

The literati thought for a while and asked in a low voice: Wang Pu?

Fan Zhi stared at the scribe's eyes and nodded slightly.

The literati's face suddenly changed: Wang Pu had been bribed and won over by the "traitors" and had really changed his appearance.

Fan Zhi said in a deep voice: Of course I know, but as long as the traitor dies, the friendship between Wang Pu and Guo Shao will no longer be... This person is from a humble background and the late emperor treats him well.The Privy Council has great military power, and even if we risk our lives, we must try to win over Wang Pu!

The scribe frowned: Wang Pu is an old fox. The only way to let him choose us is to make him believe that we have the greatest chance of winning!

Fan Zhi shook his head and said: This is a bad statement.The real old fox is not the one who chooses the most likely victory.

The literati clasped his fists and said: Please teach Mr. Fan, that's...

Fan Zhi sneered: The best way is to operate from multiple parties and stay in the road everywhere.
