Chapter 371: Revenge
Gao Ju's face turned pale suddenly, and his feet couldn't help but soften. Before the escape plan began, he was discovered, what will the emperor do with him this time?
But thinking that his mother was in the emperor's hands, he gritted his teeth and fell to his knees: "Your Majesty, every qiΔ is the fault of the criminal minister, and my mother doesn't know about it, please spare her!" β
When Mrs. Zhang, who was originally pale, heard this, her face looked better. She glanced deeply at her son who was kneeling on the ground, and hated that iron could not become steel: "So you still have filial piety?" Then why poison me again?! β
Gao Ju's face became more and more pale, and he cried bitterly: "Mother Rongqi! My son never thought of poisoning you, it's not ......"
"Do you think this is really not poison?!" Mrs. Zhang interrupted him, "You can believe what people say, and even your mother's life will be handed over to others." Are you so stupid and what ambition to say? What kind of wealth and power?! If you can survive peacefully for the rest of your life, you are already blessed by God! She scolded her son fiercely, her eyes were red again, and she turned to the emperor, "The sinner woman has no way to teach her son, ask the emperor to punish ......" and was about to kneel.
The emperor motioned for Gao Zhen to hold the man up, then walked into the room and sat down on the right seat. He looked at Gao Ju, who was kneeling and crying bitterly, and then glanced at Gonggong Huang, who was paralyzed on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Who handed you this bottle of medicine?" If you faked your death, did the man say it? He didn't mention anything else? β
Huang Gonggong replied with trembling all over his body: "Yes...... It's Lord Fang Yishan from the Ministry of Rites......" He repeated Fang Yishan's words, naturally. It was not mentioned that the bottle was poisonous, nor did it say that the leader of the dead soldiers wanted to kill Mrs. Zhang, only that it was a fake death medicine. It was prepared to assist Gao Ju's mother and son to escape, and even their escape plan was said.
The emperor smiled: "It sounds like listening to a story, where did the fake death medicine come from in this world?" β
Gao Zhen helped Mrs. Zhang to sit down next to her and said to the emperor: "What kind of medicine it is, please ask the imperial doctor to find out." In front of my uncle and grandmother and Uncle Ju, they could also see clearly that we hadn't done anything wrong. β
The Imperial Physician arrived soon. They also brought a live brood chicken. Gao Ju recognized that it was a new member added to Yingtai Island not long ago, and it was also a new toy for him after a long period of boredom. Sometimes he stared at the golden chicken. Just watching it burrow through the flowers can take you for most of the day. He had fed the pheasant only two quarters of an hour earlier.
The imperial doctor took out the white powder in the medicine bottle and looked at it, and immediately said, "This is definitely not a fake death medicine. It's poisonous. It is called Bai Jiandan, which is a kind of elixir. A small amount can be used externally, but it is extremely dangerous to take internally. If you take it according to the words of the person who gave the medicine, the dose is too large, and I am afraid that the person who takes the medicine will die immediately, and the medicine will be reckless. Even the internal organs are rotten, why do you mention that you will be revived after taking the antidote in a few days? In order to prove his words, the imperial doctor asked the palace people to catch the golden chicken. He put a small half spoonful of powder and water and forcibly fed it. The brocade rooster struggled twice. And he did not move, and black blood flowed out of his mouth. The imperial doctor also said: "The emperor can order someone to dissect the golden chicken and check the internal five organs, and then you will know how powerful this medicine is." β
There is no need for this, Gao Ju has long believed the words of the imperial doctor. His face changed and he looked at Gonggong Huang in disbelief. Huang Gonggong's face also turned pale, no matter what he thought before, he could only keep kowtowing at the moment: "The slave really doesn't know, the slave and the maid were also deceived by Lord Fang!" β
The door opened again, and this time it was Master Fang who had been pulled in. He had been listening to it outside for a while, and he knew that his deeds had been exposed, and he had already softened into a puddle of mud. When he entered the door and saw the emperor, he could only kowtow and cry with a handful of snot and tears: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" Weichen was only threatened by those dead soldiers and was afraid for a while, so he made a messenger for them. But Weichen really didn't know that this medicine was poisonous! β
The emperor smiled lightly and didn't speak, Gao Zhen looked at Fang Yishan and said, "You don't know? I think you know a lot. Didn't you say that King Ying was actually very easy to deceive? β
Fang Yishan choked and looked at Gao Zhen in disbelief. If memory serves, he said this to only one person who heard......
Gao Zhen smiled again: "You also said that whether others are dead or alive, what does it have to do with you?" Who told Uncle Ju to be stupid enough to believe you? Even if he was deceived to death his own mother, he deserved it. When he is taken away by those dead soldiers, you can continue to be your ruler and enjoy your wealth with peace of mind. β
Fang Yishan finally determined that Fang Sanye had defected, and all the qiΔ he said was betrayed to the emperor by this cousin. No wonder...... He just handed the medicine into Yingtai, and when he turned around, he was caught, because someone had already reported to the emperor, and people were waiting for him to enter the trap! It's a pity that it was too late to figure it out at this time, and it was too late for him to regret it.
Gao Ju looked at Fang Yishan's appearance, and knew that what Gao Zhen said was true, and he suddenly hated in his heart: "Why are you doing this? What do I owe you guys?! I just want to live a comfortable life, and you won't agree? Keep saying that it is the dead soldier of my father, and you are loyal to him, but you don't care about the lives of his wife and children, which heart are you loyal to?! It's my enemy! β
Mrs. Zhang said to her son, "Do you understand now? It would be foolish to trust those people. If they really think you are your father's son, how can they ignore you when your father is still there? This time they are doing everything possible to get you out, there must be a plan, but we don't know yet. I told you not to believe it, just live here in peace, why don't you listen?! If it weren't for the emperor's clear understanding this time, I'm afraid that I would really die. You were out by them, and you can still have a good life? β
Gao Ju hugged his mother's thigh and cried bitterly: "The son knows that he is wrong, the son can't stand his mother!" After crying, he crawled to the emperor's feet and said: "It is the wishful thinking of the criminal minister, who mistakenly believes in adultery, and the criminal knows that he is deeply guilty, and he does not dare to ask the emperor for mercy, but only asks the emperor to forgive the mother of the criminal minister." She didn't know in advance, and repeatedly advised the guilty minister not to listen to outsiders, because the criminal was stupid, fell into the hands of others, and almost caused a catastrophe. The criminal ministers are willing to smear the emperor's liver and brains, and only want to eradicate those vicious villains! At that time, even if the emperor wants the life of the guilty minister. The sinners are willing to have no remorse. With that, he bowed his head deeply.
Mrs. Zhang's tears fell again when she heard this, and she knelt down and choked up, "Your Majesty." The sinner knew that this child had made a big mistake, but he had been raised in the palace since he was a child, and because of his frailty, he could not even go out of the gate, so he would be so dull and naΓ―ve. Ask the emperor to spare his life for the sake of him being deceived by others. The sinner has nothing left in this life, only this son. I can't bear to see him lose his life......"
The emperor said softly: "Auntie, please get up." I naturally knew that my brother had been deceived. In fact, I had long known that Fang Yishan had a connection with the remnants of the dead soldiers, but seeing that my brother was so gullible, I thought it would be better to teach him a lesson. I believe now he understands. Who is the one to be trusted. β
Mrs. Zhang and Gao Ju's mother and son nodded in tears, things have come to this point, it would be too stupid for them to still believe in any of the Ying Wang Yu party. And since the emperor was able to stop the plot of the dead soldiers before the last moment. It can be seen that I still don't want them to die. Compared with. It's better for them to hug the emperor's thighs tightly. As for the dead soldiers, since they didn't care about the lives of their old masters, let them be the real dead.
Seeing that their mother and son were already obedient, the emperor smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to Fang Yishan again.
Fang Yishan shuddered and said tremblingly, "Minister...... The minister knows that he has sinned deeply, and he wishes to ...... I would like to write and resign......"
"Resign?" Gao Ju said coldly, "You know the truth of the matter. He also colluded with traitors to harm our mother and son, which is a great crime. I just want to resign?! β
Fang Yishan trembled, bit his lower lip and didn't dare to make another sound. He didn't want to die! Even Fang San didn't die, why did he want to die? He knew he had done something wrong, but he hadn't killed anyone, had he?
The emperor smiled and said to Gao Ju: "Fang Yishan will be handed over to his aunt and brother." What are your plans? β
Mrs. Zhang held her son's hand tightly, and the mother and son glanced at each other, and they had reached a tacit understanding. Gao Ju gritted his teeth and said, "Since he plans to poison my mother, and he keeps saying that it is a fake death medicine, then let him taste the effect!" β
Fang Yishan immediately struggled when he heard this, but unfortunately a eunuch had already suppressed him. The emperor smiled and glanced at Gao Zhen, who was standing aside. Gao Zhen glanced at the Imperial Doctor again. The Imperial Physician immediately poured the white powder from the medicine bottle into an empty teacup, poured water on it, and served it to Gao Zhen.
Gao Zhen looked at Gao Ju with a smile: "Uncle Ju, don't you want to take revenge with your own hands?" β
The Emperor paused, and continued to smile and not speak. Gao Ju directly snatched the teacup, rushed to Fang Yishan, and poured the water in the cup into the latter. In an instant, Fang Yishan bled to death.
Looking at his tragic death, Gao Ju's face turned pale again, staggered back a few steps, and turned around and hugged his mother, Mrs. Zhang. Fang Cai was only angry for a while, so he killed people regardless of it, but now after calming down, he was not greatly stimulated, his face was pale, and he couldn't say anything.
The emperor said softly: "Okay, this person is just a chess piece, and the culprit has not been caught yet." Brother is good at giving birth and raising, and when I lay out a net of heaven and earth, I will ensure that you will be captured when you watch your enemies! β
Mrs. Zhang said in a trembling voice: "Thank you to the emperor for ......" Gao Ju tried his best to squeeze out a sentence: "If there is a place where the guilty minister can be effective...... The emperor just smiled and waved his hand: "I have my own opinions, you just need to follow the order and act." Rest assured, you won't be asked to take risks. β
Next, the emperor gave Huang Gong's bus to Mrs. Zhang, who was a deep boudoir woman, and her way of doing things had always been traditional, so she only ordered someone to kill Huang Gonggong with a cane. However, she has always been soft-hearted, she can't see the bloody scenes, and she is afraid that her son will be frightened, so she takes her son to avoid it first. She still needs to educate her son. Today's incident is a lesson, and their mother and son have no other way to go in the future except to be obedient and obedient. In order to live a better life, the knowledge of hugging the thighs also needs to be learned.
The Emperor moved back to the palace again. On the way, he called Gao Zhen to Long Zhen and scolded with a smile: "What's wrong with you today?" Fang Caizhen originally wanted you to avenge your father with your own hands, but I didn't expect you to give up the opportunity to Gao Ju instead. β
Fang Yishan assisted King Ying at the beginning, inserted several men into the defenders of the border city, and secretly poisoned King Guangping during the war, making him seriously injured and blind, and had to regret retiring from the position of prince. When the emperor said hatred, he was referring to this matter.
Gao Zhen lowered his head: "Didn't the emperor say it too?" Fang Yishan is just a chess piece. The real culprit is the man behind him. The nephew ruined his affairs with his own hands, and seeing him die with his own eyes was already revenge. This kind of useless villain, kill him, and his nephew will be dirty. But it was the dead soldiers, and the purpose they wanted to achieve even if they betrayed the old master, which made the nephew more interested. β
The Emperor smiled with satisfaction: "Good." Since you have the heart to eradicate the remnants of King Ying for Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang naturally wants to fulfill you. Do a good job, Uncle Huang will never treat you badly. β
Gao Zhen showed a humble and slightly shy smile, but his heart gradually sank.
After sending the emperor back to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately rushed to the second place in Qianxi to see his father King Guangping, but King Guangping rushed to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor, and the father and son went a fork. The king of Guangping will not be able to come back for a while. Gao Zhen stood in the courtyard, was silent for a long time, turned around and left, and then went directly out of the palace.
He rode along the official road on horseback, and without going anywhere, he ran directly to the Jiannan Hou Mansion.
At this time, Zhao Wei went out to Shang Qiong's appointment, and the Zhang family entered the palace to talk to the Queen Mother, and only Zhao Xiu was left in the Hou Mansion.
When Zhao Xiu heard that Gao Zhen was coming, he wondered in his heart, so he came to the flower hall to greet him. When she saw Gao Zhen, she said with a smile: "I only came yesterday, why did I come again today?" The Fang family didn't send any more books today. Feeling a gust of wind, Gao Zhen rushed over and hugged her tightly, but did not speak.
She frightened her whole body. (To be continued......)
