Wei Shao Wang Yongji belched, only to see him holding his stomach with both hands, and immediately squatted on the ground.

Tu Danyi hurriedly stepped forward, supported him and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" Yes...... Is it the stomach?"

There was an ominous premonition that suddenly hit Tu Danyi's heart, and he helped Yongji to sit down on the chair while asking, "Does it hurt badly?"

I saw that King Wei Shao nodded, the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down one by one like bean grains, and his face looked yellow. Tu Danyi looked at Yongji's painful expression and thought to himself, "Could it be that there is poison in that wine? Hu Shahu also drank three glasses of wine in a row? Could it be that the wine jug has a ...... Questions?"

Tu Danyi was thinking about it, and recalled the scene of drinking just now, when suddenly Tu Danyi slapped his forehead with his hand and whispered, "Ah! So the problem is on that wine jug!"

When Ke Hongwei poured the first two glasses of wine, they were all poured in the same way, and the wine was naturally the same, but when he poured the third glass of wine, there was a difference between the two people. After Ke Hongwei poured the wine for Hu Shahu, Tu Danyi saw it very clearly, only to see Ke Hongwei reach out and press it lightly on the lid of the wine jug, and then pour wine into the cup of Wei Shao Wang Yongji, he remembered it very clearly.

When Tu Danyi saw it, a thought flashed in his heart: What did he do with the lid of the wine jug?

Tu Danyi was thinking about it, turned around and looked, and saw Wei Shao Wang Yongji sitting on the chair, actually falling asleep quietly, he walked to the chair, took a closer look, the emperor's eyes were slightly closed, and the saliva from his mouth soaked the clothes on his chest, Tu Danyi couldn't help but shout softly twice: "Emperor, Emperor." ”

Seeing that the emperor did not react, he reached out and touched the emperor's forehead, feeling very cold, and then touched the emperor's nose and felt that he was not breathing, thinking: "It's over! The emperor is afraid that he will lose his breath and die!"

Tu Danyi stretched out his hand and pressed the emperor's pulse, feeling that he didn't even move, and then shouted loudly outside the door: "The emperor is dead! The emperor was poisoned by you!"

Hearing the shouting, many soldiers outside the door came in, and Ke Hongwei also came, and he said to Tu Danyi: "What are you shouting? What's the big deal about him dying?"

Tu Danyi couldn't help but be angry for a moment, walked over and grabbed his sleeve, and shouted loudly: "You are so cruel! Why did you poison him?"

He was shouting when Hu Shahu came and said to Ke Hongwei, "Get the body to the car." ”

Ke Hongwei commanded the soldiers and carried the body of Weishao Wang Yongji out, Hu Shahu seemed to remember something, and hurriedly instructed: "Send someone to watch it, but don't let the dog eat the corpse." ”

After finishing speaking, Hu Shahu turned around again, sat on the chair, looked at Tu Danyi and said, "Now, let's talk about the next step." ”

Tu Danyi said to him disdainfully: "I have nothing to talk about with you, nothing more than death." ”

Hu Shahu smiled: "You can't say that, it's not easy for a person to come to the world, especially a person of insight like you, how many people can we have in Dajin Country?"

Tu Danyi said to him awe-inspiringly: "For a rebellious person like you, I will not bend down, only the ghost who is afraid of death is willing to beg for mercy, and there will be death in a hundred years, and I will keep my innocence in the sky." ”

After hearing this, Hu Shahu laughed: "Don't write poetry, that's what you literati like to do, you have to face the reality, you have to be innocent, I want you to bear the charge of poisoning the emperor, can you believe it?"

Tu Danyi was about to speak, when he saw Yan Chou Nu coming in, Hu Shahu pointed at him and said to the assistant who participated in the coup: "You come to enlighten him, as long as he does what we planned, let him be the prime minister, otherwise this account will be pushed to his Tu Danyi's head, and he will kill his entire family and exterminate his nine clans." ”

After Hu Shahu finished speaking, he glared at Tu Danyi fiercely, and then walked out, leaving only Tu Danyi and Wanyan Chounu in the room, only to hear him say slowly: "He can do it, if you don't comply, you will die and your reputation will be ruined, and you will have to bear the charge of poisoning the emperor, you have to think about it carefully." ”

But Tu Danyi said, "Don't scare me, I'm not a three-year-old child. ”

"Who scared you? This thing is like lice on a little bald head -- obviously, who can't see it clearly? Hu Shahu poisoned Yongji, but kept you and didn't kill you, what do the ministers of the court think of you? Besides, the emperor came with you, and even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash your body. ”

After Yan Chounu's words, the apostle Danyi was deeply shocked, but he still stubbornly said: "No one will believe that I poisoned the emperor, not only the civil and military ministers in the court do not believe it, but the people of the Jin country also do not believe it, I am not afraid that you will frame me." ”

"You, you're really too angry. Wanyan Chounu looked at Tu Danyi, and said with a smile: "You read the scriptures all day long, haven't you heard the story of those three people becoming tigers?"

Tu Danyi said: "I haven't done anything wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, I'm not afraid of others gossiping." ”

Wanyan and the ugly slave said: "You may not be able to calm down, when people see you, they pick their noses and gouge out their eyes and spit on you, point at your backbone and scold you, point at Sang and scold Huai in your face, and sneer at you, can you stand it?"

"Then I'll die, just die. ”

"It's more troublesome to die, and even future generations can't forgive you if you are guilty of that crime, and this is called being burdened by life, and suffering from sin when you die, and there is only one way to go. ”

"Which way?

Seeing that he was a little resigned, Wanyan Chounu further persuaded: "Although the emperor was poisoned by Hu Shahu, if you want to find a way to send him back to the central capital, let him spend two days in the palace, and then announce the news of his death, who can know the truth?"

"Isn't that a deception to the people of the country?"

"Alas, you are a little pedantic as an honest person, things in the world are often true and false, false and real, too serious, but it will cause trouble, not understood, it is better to go with the flow and be at peace with what happens. ”

After this enlightenment, Tu Danyi was really interested, and the two sat down to carefully discuss the aftermath of Wei Shao Wang Yongji. That night, all the soldiers who knew that King Wei Shao had been poisoned were all killed by Hu Shahu's order, and this news was only reduced to a few of them, so that the whole army was kept in the dark, thinking that the emperor was still in the army.

The next day, under the command of Hu Shahu, Tu Danyi took the initiative to step forward and assist them in placing the body of Wei Shao Wang Yongji in the car, closing the car door, lowering the window curtains, and no one outside could see anyone. Except for Hu Shahu, Tu Danyi, Wanyan Chounu and a few cronies, the entourage did not know that the emperor had already died.

So the emperor's motorcade marched to Zhongdu as usual, and everywhere he went, the civil and military officials and the people knelt down as usual, and Hu Shahu, Tu Danyi and others lied that the emperor was overworked and was resting, so they covered up the past.

In order to hide people's eyes, they deliberately delayed time on the road, until it was late, and then they entered the middle capital city by night. Hu Shahu and others were worried that the palace concubines had leaked the news, so they sent troops to guard the palace of King Yongji of Weishao, and only let a few palace concubines go in to wait for the emperor, and then killed those palace concubines inside.

The next day, during the court meeting, Hu Shahu announced the emperor's death to the minister of civil and military affairs, which shocked the court and sighed, and everyone knew in their hearts that the death of King Yongji of Wei Shao was suspicious, but he was afraid of Hu Shahu's power and did not dare to speak.

After a while, Wan Yan Gang, the prime minister of Shangshu Zuo, who had a high prestige in the court and was in charge of heavy troops, suddenly asked: "When the emperor went to the old barracks, he was still in good health, why did he suddenly return to the palace and die two days later, this is really strange." I suggest that the ministers take the imperial doctor to the autopsy to see the cause of the emperor's illness, so as to give a clear explanation to the people of the whole country. ”

As soon as Yan Gang's words fell, a group of ministers such as Zhang Xingxin, the doctor of Zuo Counsel, and Liang Wangtang, the governor of the political council, agreed in unison and asked to go to the palace immediately to examine the body. When Hu Shahu heard this, he said quietly: "What to investigate, what to test? You don't believe me, don't you believe in the right prime minister? He is the minister you have always believed in." ”

After Yan Gang listened, he immediately said: "Okay, let Tu Danyi explain it clearly to solve everyone's doubts." ”

This stumped Tu Danyi, and he was stumped for a long time before he said, "I ...... this matter I can't tell you clearly, so let Hu Shahu tell the ministers himself. ”

Tu Danyi's words fell like a big stone into the pond, which suddenly stirred up huge waves, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty talked about it one after another, and said it in a mess.

"The emperor must have been killed, and he must be investigated to the end!"

"What is the crime of killing the emperor and deceiving the minister!"

“……”

When Hu Shahu saw that the matter had come to this point, he didn't say that he couldn't do it, so he said: "What are you arguing about? If you are a person who is dead, what is the fuss? When the emperor was seriously ill, he asked me to be the marshal of the prison state, and if anyone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, or deliberately provoke trouble with me, I have Shang Fang's sword here, and those who are not afraid of death can just stand up!"

Listening to Hu Shahu's words, the ministers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, not only Shang Fang's sword was in his hand, but His Royal Highness's guards were all his cronies, so it was better to bear with it. At this time, Wan Yangang, who was holding a heavy army, first said: "There is nothing to do, let's retreat!" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards His Highness with Zhang Xingxin, Liang Wangtang and other ministers.

Who knew that just a few steps away, Hu Shahu shouted loudly: "Walk slowly, during the funeral for the emperor, I, the marshal of the prison country, will personally be in charge of the army, please leave the talisman." ”

Wan Yan Gang immediately said: "This soldier talisman was originally sent to me by King Yongji of Wei Shao, but now that he is dead, I should return it to the new emperor when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, how can I hand it over to you?"

Hu Shahu sneered: "Nonsense! I am the marshal of the prison state, if you don't hand over the talisman to me, will you be in charge alone?"

Wan Yangang said: "This is a major national event, please give your opinions, if the ministers all ask me to hand over the military talisman, I will hand it over." ”

As soon as his words fell, Wanyan Chounu immediately said: "I speak on behalf of the ministers, and I want you to hand over the talisman immediately!"

Wan Yan Gang shouted angrily: "Phew, you are just a small deputy general with troops, and you don't have the power to speak in the court, how can you represent the opinions of the ministers?"

Hu Shahu immediately said: "No, as the marshal of the prison state, I have already sealed Yan Chou Nu as the defense envoy of the central capital, he has every reason and qualification to speak on behalf of the ministers, and he has the right to ask you to hand over the military talisman." ”

Wan Yangang couldn't help laughing: "This is really a deception, deception and fame, before the new emperor ascended the throne, he was crowned an official and knighted." ”

Hu Shahu roared: "Shut up! You are not allowed to slander the marshal of the prison country indiscriminately, Shang Fang's sword is here, aren't you afraid of death?"

Wan Yangang also said loudly: "I also have a sword given to me by the emperor here, which can beat the unconscious king and the traitorous ministers, do you know?"

Hu Shahu was so angry that he even twisted his nose to the side and shouted: "The emperor who gave you the sword is dead, and your sword is not as good as a burning stick. ”

"What if I don't hand over the talisman?

Tu Danyi, who had a close relationship with Wanyan Gang in the past, persuaded: "You just give him the talisman, why ...... it"

When Yan Gang heard this, he added fuel to the fire, and immediately chirped: "Soft bones! You don't have the face to talk to me again, I want to tell you, those who act for the tiger will leave a stench for 10,000 years." I will be like the sun and the moon through the sky, the rivers and the earth, and I will always be on top of the clouds. ”

Hu Shahu was so angry that he jumped like thunder, waved Shang Fang's sword in his hand, and shouted: "Quickly arrest Wan Yan Gang, this old immortal thing!"

With this roar, Ke Hongwei hurriedly led a group of wolf-like soldiers, pressed Wan Yangang to the ground, and tied it firmly with a rope.

At this time, Wanyan Chounu walked over, took out the tiger talisman in charge of the national army from Wanyan Gang's arms, and in order to show off his ability, he deliberately showed off in front of Wanyan Gang's eyes and said: "Why toast and not eat, you have to eat this cup of fine wine?"

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Yan Gang take a step forward suddenly, open his big mouth, and bite the thumb of his right hand holding the tiger talisman, which hurt the greedy Zhongdu defense envoy and screamed for a while.

When Hu Shahu saw this, he shouted like crazy: "Stab him to death!

Ke Hongwei immediately stepped forward and stabbed him with a knife, hitting Yan Gang's back in the heart, the veteran of the Jin Kingdom, staggered forward two steps, pointed at Hu Shahu and said in a sonorous voice: "You...... Nor shall it ...... Good death!"

Then he threw himself on the ground and never got up again.
