"Don't you want an official to do it like Huan Ji?"
"Back to the emperor, serving the country is the glorious mission of the man's life, and he will be useful to the country in the future, and the Fu Xuan will serve as a servant, and at this moment, ...... Fu Xuan also didn't want to wear the high hat of the official position, but he had nothing to do. β
Huan Jun laughed embarrassedly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Gongzi Xie is a member of Wang Xie's family, and it is not a problem for others to be crowned with an official and a half-post, so naturally there is no need to seal it at this moment." β
"So ......" the emperor also seemed embarrassed, and said, "In this way, the big reward will be put aside for the time being, and I will think about it carefully, and reward you with a hundred taels of gold first, in order to show your merits." β
"Thank you for the emperor's favor. Fu Xuan bowed his head and thanked him, but he was still faint, and he was not touched by this golden tael.
The emperor happily returned to his seat and sat down, raised his glass and said: "Today I have another good work, and another feast for my eyes, I am really happy, all the sons must not be restrained, drink this cup together, and salute the two sons of the game!"
The sons drank the elixir brought by the palace together, and the servants brought a snack at the right time to accompany the aged jujube wine that opened the altar for this banquet today.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Concubine Er, who had been sitting next to the emperor for a long time, said gently, "This flower cake is a flower cake that the concubine collects the peach blossoms in the palace and personally mashes it into a puree. β
"Thank you, Lady Er. "The sons said. Concubine Er is not a few years older than this class of sons, and she has always been dignified and gentle, and she is as close as her own sister.
The emperor also grabbed a piece of cake and said to everyone: "I like to eat the cake cooked by Concubine Er, it is sweet and delicious, so you can taste it quickly!"
The servant walked between the princes with the jade plate, and everyone took a piece and tasted it, all of them praised the craftsmanship of Concubine Er.
The cake was sent to Fuxuan, and he also took a piece, only to see that the cake was about the size of a woman's palm, and the aroma was fragrant, so he broke it into two pieces, and quietly stuffed half of it into the first dream behind him: "You can taste it too." β
Chu Meng hurriedly took it with both hands and thanked Fu Xuan, but he saw that the wound on his arm was oozing more mottled blood than before.
The emperor ate the cake, and suddenly turned his head to look at Fu Xuan, and said: "I only recall what you just said, the metaphor of plum blossoms and peonies, which is exactly like this." Your words are like green pines, and Huanqing's words are like plum blossoms, and they really can't be divided into high and low. β
Huan said: "Emperor Qi, in this way, Weichen is even more curious, if it is judged by Gongzi Xie, Weichen and Wang Xi's concubine, the pen has the posture of pine and plum blossoms, who is better?"
"Huan Xian Ma, why is Xian Ma always so competitive and competitive, everything needs to be competed?" Fu Xuan replied, "The Jin people said that the word race, although it is 'race', it is just to use the race to make it more interesting, and the key is still in the 'word'." If you surpass yourself, what's the harm if you can't race others, and if you make a good work, what's the harm if you don't race?"
The emperor listened attentively, nodded his head, and finally said: "Fu Xuan is reasonable." Today was supposed to be a word competition, but I unexpectedly gained a wonderful debate, which can be described as unexpected. According to my words, you and other sons are too restrained, how good it is to be as good as Fu Xuanhuan, speak freely, speak out, and there is no old guy from the emperor's uncle Da Sima today, you can say whatever the young son wants, you will be presumptuous, I will be in charge of you today!"
After the emperor said that, he got up suddenly, demonstrated by example, smashed one leg "bang" on the dragon case in front of him, and drank wildly, which was very imitating the dripping and free of the seven sages of the bamboo forest.
was in a good mood, suddenly, the emperor suddenly changed color, his facial features were very hideous, he was talking and laughing a moment ago, but at this moment he seemed to be bound by something and froze there, and then, with a sound of falling to the ground, the emperor actually held the wine and poured straight back.
"The emperor has been poisoned! Someone is comingβescortβ" Before everyone came to their senses, the little eunuch beside the emperor had already screamed loudly.
A heavy uneasiness diffused under Chunrong's stage, and at this moment, there was no blood but a dull and turbid atmosphere in the air, and everyone instantly felt terrified, the emperor was poisoned in front of everyone!
The eunuch and the imperial physician immediately came, carrying the emperor to a safe place for treatment, Sima Xi was approaching the town, and he quickly called someone to inform. Cheng Ji stepped forward and led the guards of the Nanling Royal Mansion to guard the banquet site, and the young lady who was present accompanied by their respective maidservants, assigned a room for one person to settle down to the wing room to rest, and sent guards to guard the door, and all emergency measures were done in an orderly manner.
Chu Meng followed Fu Xuan into the wing room to rest, the two of them looked solemn, Fu Xuan sat in front of the desk and pondered for a long time, raised his eyes and asked Chu Meng: "What do you think of today's incident?"
"I'm afraid that the emperor's poisoning is just the beginning. "The first dream was making tea for Fu Xuan, and the tone was extremely flat.
Fu Xuan's head and took the tea, but he didn't drink it, but said, "You go on." β
Chu Meng put down the teapot and said to Fu Xuan's gaze, "This matter should be divided into two issues. First, who wants to harm the emperor, and second, who can harm the emperor. To put it mildly, if the emperor has something to do, who can benefit? Our emperor is fun-loving and has never posed a threat to the war, so it should not be that the Hu people sent assassins to kill him, but if the country suddenly loses its king, and at a time when the enemy outside the gate valve is worried about internal and external troubles, it is natural that someone needs to immediately take the position of monarch, who is this person? Second, at this moment, he is in the Nanling Palace, which is heavily guarded, and if it is not for the advantage of the time and place, who can get close to the emperor and be poisoned, and the answers to these two questions happen to point to the same person. β
"You're so discerning. Fu Xuan said, in fact, he also thought about this level, but he also wanted to hear the first dream's opinion, according to the first dream's answer, she should have taken off her disguise, thinking of this, Fu Xuan felt a little relieved in her heart.
"Since the poison is stabbed, if you want to enjoy the fruits naturally, you must find a scapegoat who has been poisoned. Fu Xuan said.
"About that...... The first dream didn't think about how they would blame others. β
Fu Xuan was silent for a long time, and then sighed again: "I don't know what the emperor's condition is! β
The heart of the first dream also sank, and the house was as silent as time stood still for a while.
"The emperor is auspicious, he should be blessed by the gods, the prince and relax, at the moment, it is useless for us to be anxious, and we need to be calm. β
At this time, the carved door of the wing room was kicked open, and the people came in groups of three or five, which was extremely rude, if it were not for the fact that they were dressed in the uniforms of the guards of the Nanling Palace, the first dream was in a trance and thought that they were thieves again. The guards moved quickly, and a column drove away, surrounding Chu Meng and Fu Xuan, and when the two were looking at each other vigilantly, the guards at the door gave way and Cheng Ji stepped forward in the tall and majestic guards, his expression lost his usual pleasant face.
Cheng Ji ordered: "Xie Fuxuan assassinated the emperor, the crime should be punished by the nine clans, and someone came - Xie Fuxuan and his maid were imprisoned here, strictly guarded, and not allowed to go out." β
"Cheng Steward!" Chu Meng stepped forward and said sharply, "The prince did not assassinate the emperor! Catch a thief and take dirty, and do such a thing as assassinating the saint, how can Cheng Steward disregard human life on trumped-up charges!"
Cheng Ji was walking outside the house at that time, and when he heard this, he stopped walking, turned around and stared at the first dream, a strange but kind smile appeared on his face, and said: "If there is no evidence, how can the old servant dare to easily touch the son of the Xie family? The old servant has sent someone to inspect all the things on display at the banquet, but the poison was detected in the ink that the prince Xie brought into the Nanling Palace, and it can be regarded as a stolen person!"
