Chapter 296: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
Hao Tong didn't need him to speak, he just wanted to say that he was speechless:
The younger brother of the old slave, in the past ten years, has dedicated to serving the first emperor and serving the elixir. If you want to say that he is diligent and honest, there is only one shortcoming, poor memory, and he loses three or four, but fortunately, he is on an errand in front www.biquge.info of the emperor, and the old slave mentions him, and he has never gone wrong.
After the first emperor was poisoned and fell into a coma, the old slave and his younger brother were burning in their hearts, remembering that when the old slave was crying, the younger brother had whispered to the old slave that he had made a big mistake and planned to ask His Majesty for forgiveness after the birthday banquet.
The old slave asked him what was going on?
He said that the amount of elixir taken by His Majesty has not increased in recent times, but the time interval has shortened.
At that time, His Majesty went to the Dragon King Temple to beg for rain, and performed the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, near noon (referring to 11 o'clock), it was originally the time to enter the medicine, but at that time, His Majesty led the hundred officials to kneel down to worship heaven and earth, and sprinkled wine to send the execution, such an occasion is really not suitable to disturb. Therefore, he had to wait for the ceremony to be completed, and he asked the court officials of the Honglu Division, and was told that there would be at least three moments left when the ceremony was over.
He had a stomachache for a while, so he put the elixir and Sanqing water in the Xingyun Palace where His Majesty was resting, and went to the toilet in the back, but he was knocked out in the alley, and when he woke up, he touched it, and the broken silver on his body was touched away, he didn't know who was so bold, and he thought that it was done by a monk and Taoist priest who didn't know whether he was alive or dead in the Dragon King Temple.
This delay was great, and he hurriedly ran back, and when he asked, he knew that the ceremony was over, and the emperor not only used the vegetarian fast, but also took a lunch break in the Xingyun Palace because he was very sleepy......
He had a hundred guts, and he did not dare to call His Majesty up to take medicine. Therefore, he was nervous, and waited until His Majesty woke up, and he hurriedly planned to deliver the medicine, but found that there was no medicine on the plate where he put the medicine, only an empty jade cup containing three clear waters......
At that time, the old slave couldn't care about being sad, he went over, he was stunned, and the old slave scolded him, what a memory! Obviously, as soon as the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is over, you will come in and kneel in the medicine for His Majesty, and then go to find the medicine, naturally there will be no more!
The old slave's younger brother was overjoyed, and said repeatedly, it turns out that I remembered wrongly, since Your Majesty has served it, otherwise I will be severely punished, and my life will not be guaranteed!
At that time, the old slave also thought that he must have remembered wrongly, thinking that he had not given His Majesty the medicine and was scared to death, so he made that clumsy excuse. That day, the forbidden army of the Dragon King Temple was strictly guarded, and idlers were exempted, how could anyone dare to rob the emperor?
But the old slave never expected that it was the last thing he said to me in this world! And the reason why His Royal Highness King Qi killed him was that the Queen Mother at that time read a passage of "Buddha Says Moonlight Bodhisattva Mantra" to the Queen Mother, and the slaves and maids of the first palace wept on the ground, and he was the farthest away.
The old slave had to think more, why was His Royal Highness so sensitive when he listened to the text of killing the king, and was the emperor really poisoned by the puffer fish as the imperial doctor said? If Hao Shun really didn't give His Majesty medicine as he described, could it be that after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, there was a person exactly like him who took advantage of the chaos to give His Majesty medicine? You must know that because the old slave brothers are the most trusted people of His Majesty, the matter of taking the pill fell on the younger brother.
Yong sneered: What does it have to do with this king? Hao Shun is dead, can the dead speak?
"Back to His Royal Highness King Qi, dead people can't speak, but what you do can't be hidden from Your Majesty."
Only then did Yong notice that the other inner eunuch who spoke behind him had a long body and a long face, and he was the "horse-faced impermanence" Gao Changshi next to the current emperor.
Gao Changshi explained: "Your Majesty went to the Hanliang Hall of the Reed Yuan Palace at dusk on the day of the first emperor's birthday banquet, and he personally saw Hao Shun enter the elixir and give it to the first emperor. Later, I asked Hao Gonggong to find out that the elixir was offered by the head of the Heavenly Pivot Dao and kept by Hao Shun alone. A few days ago, His Majesty saw in the princess's mansion that the deceased Dongcheng Grand Prince was in exactly the same condition as the first emperor, so he concluded that they all died from an overdose of the elixir. ”
"This is nonsense! The imperial doctors in the palace clearly said that it was caused by the poisoning of puffer fish. "Yong protested loudly, but he spoke strongly.
"As we all know, the imperial doctor serves the royal family, many taboos, even if you know something, you usually don't dare to declare it, especially at that moment, a word will lead to death, just imagine that the first emperor was just in a coma at that time, if you wake up later, listen to the imperial doctor criticize the elixir they take is poison, then their heads are still saved?"
"The elixir needs to be calculated strictly for a long time, and a strict dosage is taken, twelve years ago, the emperor took one pill every three days, and slowly took one pill a day. Then two pills a day, then two pills every six hours, and more recently two pills every four hours...... In this way, step by step, although there are night sweats, palpitation, shortness of breath, coughing up blood and phlegm and many other weak diseases, the emperor can no longer do without that thing. ”
"His Royal Highness King Qi is also because of this point, so that people in the Dragon King Temple pretended to be Hao Shun to take advantage of the chaos to give the emperor two pills of elixir slightly larger than the usual dose, at that time Chen was delayed, the dose was slightly larger and did not make the first emperor feel uncomfortable, and before the birthday banquet began, His Majesty ate two pills as usual by Hao Shun, this time the amount was overtime and completely overdosed, you know that people who overdose are most afraid of getting angry and angry and stimulated, just look at the eldest prince of Dongcheng who was very excited when he fought cocks after taking medicine, and he knew that he bled to death from seven orifices. At that time, you saw the opportunity and scolded the emperor for overdosing, causing him to be extremely angry, his eyes were congested, and then the blood gushed up and he fell unconscious, if it wasn't for a certain interval from the first time he took the medicine, His Majesty would not have been able to drag on for a day and a night. ”
King Qi scoffed at this statement.
"I have to say that King Qi's method is clever, because if the first emperor died of an overdose of the elixir, then even if the imperial doctors knew it, they would not declare it, and would only cover it up by eating poisonous pufferfish, just like that, the first emperor died in a daze, and he took off his face and flew to check for so long, and there was no eyebrow at all, and there was no evidence at all."
Yong sneered, "Naturally, it's impossible to find out anything, it's unbelievable, is this king an immortal?" Where to become a person exactly like Hao Shun? ”
Gao Changshi said with a smile: "Coincidentally, His Majesty also handed over that person to the Shang Criminal Division, and he recruited everything in order to save his life." As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the internal guard outside came in, escorting a person......
Yong looked at it and asked in a trembling voice: Hao Shun? You are..... No......
"Lord Wang, save the grass people!"
Since Hao Shun has been dead for more than half a year, at first glance, it looks like he is alive, but the man's voice is not decorated, it is still his own, but the clean inner supervisor speaks as sharp as a woman, and it is easy to imitate, everyone knows this. (To be continued)
