Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and others were in the state pastor's mansion, and when they were treating Han Zhan, the news of Han Zhan's poisoning entered the palace through some special channel.

When Zhang Yu, the middle attendant, heard the news, he was immediately frightened. Ignoring the fact that it was getting late, he trotted all the way towards the sleeping palace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Guarding the small yellow door outside the door, when he saw someone running towards the dormitory, he immediately asked, "Stop!" Who dares to trespass on His Majesty's bedroom. ”

"Little bunny, get out of the way of our house." Zhang Yu pushed open the small yellow door blocking the way, pushed open the door of the dormitory and rushed in. Xiao Huangmen saw clearly that it was Zhang Yu, the middle attendant, who pushed him, so he didn't dare to squeak and quietly followed into the door.

I saw Zhang Yu rushing to the bed of Emperor Han Xian, kneeling on the ground with a puff, and shouting in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, disaster, disaster is coming!" ”

Hearing Zhang Yu's shout, Empress Fu, who was sleeping next to Emperor Han Xian, sat up, opened a corner of the curtain, poked her head out and called Zhang Yu's name and asked, "Zhang Yu, what's wrong, you want to disturb Your Majesty in the middle of the night?" ”

Although there was a hint of anger in Queen Fu's tone, Zhang Yu didn't care at all. Compared with life and death, Queen Fu's anger is basically negligible. He kowtowed heavily and hurriedly said: "The old slave just got the news from outside the palace, and soon after Anyang Hou returned to the mansion, he fell unconscious, and Anyang Hou's subordinates invited the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing into the mansion, and after diagnosis and treatment, they found that he was poisoned. ”

Upon learning of Han Zhan's poisoning, Empress Fu immediately realized that the matter was very important, and hurriedly retracted into the tent, shaking Emperor Han Xian vigorously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up quickly!" ”

Emperor Xian of Han, who was shaken awake, opened his eyes in a daze, and asked unhappily: "Zitong, why do you want to wake me up, is it going to court at dawn?" ”

"Your Majesty, something has happened." Seeing that Emperor Han Xian was still drowsy, Empress Fu hurriedly leaned close to his ear and said loudly: "Zhang Yu, the regular servant, came to report that the Marquis of Anyang returned to the mansion and fell unconscious. ”

"What, Anyang Hou was poisoned?" Hearing that Han Zhan was poisoned, Emperor Han Xian was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and his drowsiness was also frightened without a trace. He sat up suddenly, lifted the curtain, and asked Zhang Yu, who was kneeling beside the couch, "Zhang Yu, what the hell is going on?" How could Anyang Hou be poisoned? ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Zhang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, replied, "The diet of the Marquis of Anyang at the banquet is the same as that of Your Majesty, and every time the food is served, the old slave has carefully checked it, and there is absolutely no problem with the diet." As for how Anyang Hou was poisoned, the old slave is unknown. ”

"Zhang Yu," Empress Fu, who was sitting next to Emperor Xian of Han, then asked, "What about the rest of the courtiers who attended the banquet?" ”、

"The old slave has already sent someone to inquire." Zhang Yu hurriedly replied: "I'm afraid it will pay off soon." ”

"Anyway, immediately arrest all the imperial chefs who are preparing dinner." Emperor Han Xian remembered Dong Zhuo, who turned the harem upside down, and he couldn't help but be frightened, he said tremblingly: "If there is anything bad about the Marquis of Anyang, his subordinates will enter the palace to ask for the guilt, and they will hand these people over to take the blame." ”

"The old slave obeys." Zhang Yu agreed, got up from the ground, and walked backwards out of the dormitory.

Watching Zhang Yu leave the dormitory, Emperor Han Xian jumped off the bed and walked back and forth in the dormitory with his hands behind his back. Empress Fu was worried that he would catch a cold, so she took a cloak and put it on his body, comforting him and saying: "Your Majesty, don't worry, according to the concubine, the Marquis of Anyang is a loyal and righteous person, if he can be safe and sound, he will definitely not pursue this matter." ”

"The Marquis of Anyang is quite popular, and the civil and military forces of Jizhou are loyal to him." Emperor Han Xian said in horror: "If he has three longs and two shorts, I am worried that his subordinates will wash the palace in blood." ”

When Empress Fu heard Emperor Han Xian say this, she immediately remembered that Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others had misbehaved and disregarded human lives in the palace back then, and couldn't help but fight a cold war. She lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the concubine remembers that Concubine Dong's father, Dong Cheng, has a very close relationship with many generals in Jizhou. If Anyang Hou really has three strengths and two weaknesses, he may be able to resolve this crisis by mediating it. ”

After such a reminder from Empress Fu, Emperor Han Xian immediately remembered that not only Dong Cheng and Jizhou civil and military had a very close relationship, but even Taiwei Yang Biao, Dasi Nong Zhu Jun and others could also speak in front of Jizhou civil and military. If you really encounter the siege of the palace by Jizhou soldiers and horses, maybe these courtiers can come forward and resolve the anger in the hearts of Jizhou civil and military.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Empress Fu waited in the palace for about two incense sticks, and Zhang Yu entered again from the outside and reported to the two: "Your Majesty, the old slave has taken down all the imperial kitchens and is ordering people to torture them, I believe it won't take long to get a confession." ”

Some time ago, Yang Qi and others were expelled from the Beijing Division, and Emperor Han Xian's heart has always been worried, and he is deeply afraid that Han Zhan will do something to settle accounts after the autumn. Since I heard that he was poisoned, a strange thought came to my heart, could it be that among these imperial chefs, there were Yang Qi's comrades, and in order to avenge their master, they took the opportunity of their own banquet to poison the diet of the Marquis of Anyang?

Thinking of this, he asked Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, you have to torture carefully to see if there are any comrades of Yang Qi and others among these imperial chefs." ”

Zhang Yu, as an old man beside Emperor Han Xian, was naturally not a fool, and as soon as he heard Emperor Han Xian mention Yang Qi's name, he immediately understood what the other party meant. hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the old slave will definitely pull Yang Qi's comrades out of the imperial kitchen and give Anyang Hou an explanation." ”

Zhang Yu's words reminded Empress Fu, she felt that if she could really find out Yang Qi's comrades from the imperial kitchen, then even if something happened to Han Zhan, she could transfer the anger of Jizhou's civil and military forces to Yang Qi, who was demoted to Qingzhou. She hurriedly told Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, hurry up and tell those little yellow men who are in charge of interrogation that they must find out Yang Qi's comrades, otherwise be careful of their heads." ”

Hearing Empress Fu say this, Zhang Yu's heart couldn't help but gasp, and he couldn't help but secretly think: The queen is so vicious, she actually wants to forcibly plant the poisoning of Anyang Hou on the heads of Yang Qi and others, so that even if Anyang Hou has any accidents, Jizhou Wenwu can only settle accounts with Yang Qi. But he thought about it, if he could really divert the anger of Jizhou's civil and military forces, then the palace would be safe and sound, and it would be better to kill a Yang Qi than to suffer from the people in the palace.

After figuring out this joint, he hurriedly went to the place where the imperial kitchen was interrogated again, ready to order those little yellow doors to catch Yang Qi's accomplices from the imperial kitchen.

Zhang Yu came to the imperial dining room, and he followed him far away, when he heard the screams inside and the sound of leather whips whipping people. The little yellow door guarding the door, when he saw Zhang Yu coming, he quickly nodded and said, "Ancestor, you are here!" ”

Zhang Yu nodded, looked inside and asked, "How is it, did they confess?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Huangmen replied: "These cooks are harder than the other, and the younger ones have beaten them to the flesh, but no one admits to poisoning Anyang Hou's diet." ”

Zhang Yu couldn't help but be annoyed when he learned that the imperial chef inside refused to admit to poisoning, and was about to go in and ask the little yellow men to teach them a hard lesson, but he heard a shrill voice behind him shouting to himself: "Old ancestor, old ancestor!" ”

Zhang Yu stopped when he heard the sound and turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from. A little yellow man ran to Zhang Yu out of breath and reported to him: "Enlighten the old ancestor, the little one was ordered to inquire about the homes of several courtiers, and they were all safe and sound. ”

"The courtiers that our family ordered you to check are all safe and sound?" When Zhang Yu heard the report of his henchman, he couldn't help muttering: "What the hell is going on?" He felt that he should immediately report the matter to Emperor Han Xian, turned around and walked in the direction of the dormitory. After walking a few steps, he heard the screams coming from the house, and hurriedly stopped again, and ordered the little yellow door guarding the door, "Okay, let the little cubs inside stop." What to do with these imperial chefs, we will talk about it after our family has consulted His Majesty. ”

When Emperor Han Xian saw Zhang Yu who had gone and returned, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Zhang Yu, is something wrong again?" ”

"Your Majesty." Zhang Yu replied respectfully: "The person sent by the old slave to inquire reported that the courtiers who drank the banquet together were all safe and sound. As for Anyang Hou, the old slave has sent someone to inquire again, and as soon as there is news, he will report back immediately. ”

Although Zhang Yu sent people to investigate in time, due to Han Zhan's poisoning, Chen Zhi strengthened the vigilance around the mansion, in addition to three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, there were also several mobile patrols, patrolling back and forth on the streets. Don't say it's a human, even if it's a mouse, don't think about it. The person in charge of the investigation could only look at the governor's mansion from a distance, but he couldn't get close, so he could only stomp his feet in a hurry.

When it was almost dawn, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji came out of the mansion, and Chen Zhi knew that Han Zhan was safe and sound, so he ordered the vigilance around the state pastoral mansion to be lifted.

Taking advantage of Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji passing by him, the spy grabbed an entourage, stuffed a few copper coins into the other party's hand, and asked tentatively: "What happened in the state pastor's mansion, why is it so heavily guarded?" ”

The entourage thought that this was not a big deal, so he said casually: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Anyang Hou has been poisoned." "I'm going to walk away.

The spy hurriedly grabbed the other party's sleeve and stuffed another handful of copper coins over: "How was Anyang Hou poisoned, and how is it now?" ”

"When I came back from a banquet in the palace, Miss Cai in the palace fed him honey water to sober up, and the honey turned out to be poisonous." The attendant stuffed the copper coin into the sleeve of his robe and said in a low voice: "The two divine doctors found out the cause of the poisoning and prescribed the right medicine, and in less than half an hour, Anyang Hou woke up." ”

"I see, thank you dude." After the spy figured out what was going on, he couldn't help but secretly call it a fluke in his heart, and after thanking his entourage, he turned around and walked quickly towards the palace, preparing to go to Zhang Yu to return to his life.
