Yesterday evening, Jin Zhong and a few people from Chunhe Palace cried and worshiped the deceased emperor.Soon, the crown prince and the crown princess Zhang asked the ministers to plan for the funeral.
At that time, except for the prince and his wife, there were nine people involved, including Jin Zhong and Guo Zi, the senior officials of the imperial court, Yuan Gong, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple; Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, the officials of the East Palace, as well as military general Tan Qing and eunuch Haitao.
The prince did not like eunuchs, but was an exception to Haitao. This eunuch had been with him for a long time; and Haitao even followed the Crown Princess Zhang.
Many eunuchs in the Eastern Palace were also very grateful to Zhang. I heard that Zhang saved the lives of those eunuchs more than once and often spoke for their servants.
Jin Zhong and other civil and military officials only knew that the emperor had passed away, but they didn't know what was going on.
So the prince first roughly described the incident and then ordered the eunuch Haitao to bring the already locked concubine Guo Ci and the eunuch Wang Gouer; then called the two imperial doctors into the house to testify.
Only then did Jin Zhong gradually figure out what happened at the You hour.
……
At the Youth hour, the emperor was playing with the grandson by the pond of Chunhe Hall. The emperor's hand was already covered with mud, and on a whim, he wanted to make a clay man for the grandson with his own hands.
Wang Gou'er, a confidant eunuch, went to the edge of the pond to dig a piece of wet mud; the pool was built with bricks and stones, and a place had collapsed, and the mud could only be dug there.
The emperor took the wet mud, threw it on the stone a few times, made it into a square shape, and then began to pinch it back and forth.Unexpectedly, before he could pinch it a few times, he suddenly stopped, wiped his palm gently, and saw blood beads coming out!
For a moment, everyone around was stunned, and his face changed suddenly.The emperor frowned and immediately dug out of the wet mud a few times, digging out a tiny rusty iron needle.
The prince hurriedly ordered the palace maid to fetch water and to bandage the wounds for the emperor's hands.
The emperor looked at the iron needle dug out for a while, turned to see the place where the bricks and stones collapsed by the pond, reached out and pressed the wound, and suddenly said: Go to the Imperial Hospital quickly and call the imperial doctor over!
When the eunuch Wang Gouer heard this, he immediately knelt in front of the emperor. Regardless of the mud on his hands, he directly used his mouth to suck the blood from the wound.
At this time, the emperor said angrily: No one is allowed to leave from the people from the Eastern Palace and the servants who came in!
The Crown Princess Zhang immediately sent the eunuch Haitao to call the imperial physician.
According to the emperor's wishes, Haitao first asked the eunuchs at the entrance of the East Palace to prohibit anyone from going out, and then rushed to Wenhua Palace to tell the East Palace official Yang Pu.
Yang Pu went to call the imperial doctor.
The emperor asked the eunuch to tear off a strip of cloth to tie up his right wrist.
At this time, the servants fetched water and brought chairs. The emperor sat on the chair and tried his best to remain unmoved, so that he could serve to wash the hands clean.
The eunuchs hurriedly carried the emperor's chair into the palace.
...The Ming Dynasty Imperial Hospital has thirteen departments, and the two medical officers in charge of each department came to the East Palace.
When the medical officer came to the East Palace, he didn't need to take the pulse. He saw that the symptoms were confirmed to be poisoned!
At this time, the emperor had been stabbed for at least one moment (about fifteen minutes). His eyelids were drooping, and his body was loose and weak. The emperor told the imperial doctor that he felt that his hands and feet were not easy to move, and it was a little difficult to breathe out and inhale, and it was not easy to swallow saliva, and he wanted to sleep.
A medical officer quickly came up to take his pulse, looked at the emperor's pupils, and looked at his expression in detail.Another medical officer was examining the iron needle that stabbed the saint.
The two of them worked hard for a while and then discussed again. The emperor asked: What kind of poison have I been infected?
The two medical officials did not dare to make it easy and reported that they wanted to invite more colleagues from the Imperial Hospital to come and confirm the diagnosis. The emperor issued another order to ask, what poison might be...
One of them finally said: Judging from the symptoms, it is very likely that it is the venom of the silver ring snake!
The emperor may not know much about the silver ring snake venom, but when he heard that it was the snake venom, he was angry and anxious. After struggling for a few times, he couldn't sit up on the chair.
The prince hurriedly called the servants, helped the emperor to the bed and lay down, and urged the medical officer to treat him immediately.
The medical officer took out a piece of plaster from the medicine box and first put a wound on the emperor, and then said that more imperial doctors would be required to confirm the diagnosis (sharing the responsibility).
Although the emperor was angry and worried, he didn't care about asking who was the culprit, nor did he care about revenge. What he thought most was of course to do everything possible to save himself.
The emperor waved his hand, and at this time he couldn't even say clearly.
One of the medical officials walked out of the palace, and the Crown Princess Zhang asked him: How can he save the emperor?
The medical officer looked scared and said: The silver ring snake venomous, and as long as the slightest invisible venom can be fatal!
Several southern governors have people who are bitten every year. Once the bitten people have toxic attacks, there is almost no cure.
According to the files reported by various places, it usually takes half an hour for people bitten to get poisonous and symptoms; while the emperor's poisonous relapse is less than a moment. It can be seen that the rust iron needle was repeatedly soaked with the snake venom of many snakes, which hurt people, which is much more toxic than snake bites!
How to cure this?
Xiaguan and the other two are probably over!
Zhang asked again: The eunuch Wang Gouer had taken poison as the emperor. Why is Wang Gouer okay with such a highly poisonous thing?
The medical official said: As long as there is no damage in the mouth and abdomen, the venom of the silver ring snake enters from the mouth and cannot be poisoned.
Zhang asked: If the treatment is not possible, when will the poisoned person die?
Medical officials answered: Usually it takes several hours to three days, and there are also longer.However, the poison that invades the dragon's body is obviously much more poison than snake bites, and maybe it won't be able to wait that long.
At this moment, someone from the palace reported to Zhang, and the emperor fell asleep.
So Zhang made a quick decision and said: This matter is of great importance. If it is suddenly spread, I am afraid that the teachers and students in the capital will be in chaos and the consequences will be unimaginable.
It is best not to alarm too many people. Too many imperial doctors will make a move and delay the time. You two will immediately try every means to save the emperor!
The emperor was sleeping in bed for a short time. The medical officer felt that the poison was getting faster after falling asleep, so he wanted to wake the emperor up.But the emperor was completely unconscious and could not wake up at all.
Medical officials said that once a poisoned person becomes unconscious, the toxicity will only become stronger and it will be difficult to wake up again.
...At that time, the people around were completely helpless and most of them were frightened.
The prince angrily ordered Wang Gou'er to be arrested.
Because the person who went to the pond to dig the dredge was the eunuch Wang Gouer, he had the chance to insert poison needles into the mud of the saint!
Wang Gou'er cried and complained unjustly.
But Zhang said coldly: It would be better to lock up Concubine Guo and ask...
There was something happened last time. Concubine Guo attacked Zhang and instructed her confidant palace maid Luoer and the designer to kill Concubine Guo's child.
Zhang was furious and reminded Concubine Guo Ci to stop at the right time, and threatened Concubine Guo Ci to have no good end in the future (Zhang's own son Zhanji will take power sooner or later).
Concubine Guo holds a grudge and wants to murder Zhanji and let her son Zhanji take power, but it may not be true!
Moreover, the wet mud containing the poison needle was dug out from the edge of the pond.So it is also possible that Concubine Guo had hidden it before, with the purpose of harming Zhanji, but unexpectedly injured the emperor!
Zhang also pointed out another strange thing. Guo Cifei's father Guo Ming, sent snake gallbladder medicinal wine to the East Palace to treat children's convulsions.
Snake gall!When the snake was mentioned, Concubine Guo was immediately arrested from her bedroom and locked up...
Zhang also suggested that the prince immediately drive the emperor's carriage outside Chunhe Hall into the East Palace and block the Chunhe Hall, so as not to let the news be leaked, so as not to have no time to prepare; and summoned officials from the East Palace to enter the hall to make plans.
The prince thought it was kind and asked someone to invite Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi, who were still in Wenhua Palace, to the East Palace.
After a while, the medical officer suddenly fell to the ground and said in fear: The emperor is taking less and less breaths!
The prince asked the medical officer to treat him immediately. The two medical officers were helpless and a brave man went straight to the emperor's chest.However, nothing was helpful. The emperor was unconscious and his breath became weaker and weaker.
Everyone in the palace knelt on the ground and started crying.
The prince and the princess summoned three officials from the Eastern Palace to a palace inside and discussed what should we do now?
Zuo Yude Yang Shiqi believed that if the emperor died in the East Palace, this matter would be of great importance, and it would not be possible for only the officials of the East Palace to maintain the situation; the ministers in the court should be summoned immediately.
Zhang proposed that there should not be too many people summoned first, but only those who can be trusted.
……
So Taichang Shaoqing Yuan Gong, Minister of War Jin Zhong, Minister of Revenue Guo Zi, and Commander of Jinwu Left Guard Tan Qing went to the East Palace one after another.As soon as everyone entered the East Palace, they were told that the emperor had passed away!
Then Jin Zhong and others heard the narrative of the prince and the princess, and met Guo Cifei and the eunuch Wang Gou'er, and finally understood how the emperor died.
Concubine Guo and the eunuch Wang Gouer came over to add some things, but they only care about injustice.
Wang Gou'er said: I am loyal to the emperor. During the Jingnan Campaign, I spared no effort to protect the emperor. I was just poisoned. I hurriedly wanted to help the emperor suck out the poison, but my life had already been put aside.
I would rather die for the emperor, how could I murder the emperor?
Concubine Guo said coldly: Although I am not very harmonious with the Crown Princess, how could my Guo family be the descendant of Wuding Hou. How could he use such despicable means to deal with the emperor's grandson?There are so many people in the Hou’s Mansion, can I do this?
Zhang raised his head and said: You think you won't be found out.
Prince Zhu Gaochi said: Is that jar of medicinal wine soaked in snake gallbladder?
Guo Cifei said again: Medicinal wine is used to treat Zhan'an, how can it be poisonous?What's more, even if my father brought him to the palace, the eunuchs had already carefully checked it!
Zhang said again: What kind of snake is that?
Concubine Guo couldn't answer for a moment and stood there without saying a word.
At this moment, Yang Shiqi suggested discussing the emperor's funeral first. As for who will take the initiative, we will check it out in detail later.
Although Yang Shiqi's official position is not high and his background is not famous, his words make sense, so everyone agreed with him.
Logically, although the situation at that time was shocking and sad, there was nothing to say.
The country already has a crown prince as the crown prince. Now that the emperor has passed away, the crown prince will die in accordance with the normal process and report to Empress Xu, and then he can inherit the throne of the emperor in front of the coffin of the former emperor with justification.
But the problem is that the emperor was poisoned to the East Palace!Moreover, the next morning, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han would come to Beijing with his great contribution to destroying Annan. Will he use this to attack the prince?Can the prince succeed to the throne so smoothly?
At that time, except for the prince and his wife, there were nine people involved, including Jin Zhong and Guo Zi, the senior officials of the imperial court, Yuan Gong, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple; Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, the officials of the East Palace, as well as military general Tan Qing and eunuch Haitao.
