Chapter 586: Entering Wude to find the source of poison
"Smack...!"
"Ahh
"Smack...!"
"Ahh
The court staff is to beat people with a cane in the court, which is a punishment imposed on the officials in the court, which first began with the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty... The court staff of the Tang Dynasty was generally made of chestnut wood, and the end of the blow was cut into a mallet, and it was wrapped with an iron sheet, and there was a barb on the iron sheet.
If the executioner does not show mercy, needless to say sixty strokes, it is thirty strokes, and the flesh and skin of the tortured person will be torn to pieces.
Many of the officials who were convicted died under the rod of the court. Even if they don't die, nine out of ten people will be crippled for life.
The highest number of rods was a hundred, but it was of no practical significance, and by seventy or eighty strokes, the man was dead. There is very little record of a hundred people who survive. Eighty of the court staff means that the feet have stepped into the threshold of the Lord of Hades.
Li Tai's thirty blows are down, and this big fat man is estimated to have only half a life left, and it can also be known here that Li Shimin is extremely angry this time, because Li Tai, the bastard, insulted the two heaviest people in Li Shimin's heart.
Thirty court canes are still the reason for Li Shimin's restraint, after all, this is his own son, if someone else tells him such a beastly thing, it will be at least the Jiu Clan.
For example, the eunuch Hu, when Li Tai was announced to be thirty years old, Li Shimin had already hinted that the eunuch Hu had been killed, and such a person must die.
After the beating of the thirty court staff, Li Tai's ass was already smashed, but there was still a breath of anger, Li Junxian came to ask how to deal with it in the future, and Li Shimin waved his hand to let him take it back.
Not only that, Li Shimin once again announced that Li Tai's Literature Museum would be cut, and all the bachelors recruited by Li Tai would be filled into the Prince's East Palace.
It's just that this is just the beginning, and soon, Empress Changsun knew about the beating of her four sons, and this time because the beating was too serious, Empress Changsun still came to ask Li Shimin in person what happened.
Li Shimin, who didn't want Empress Changsun to know, saw his wife's very resolute expression of wanting to know, and finally told the true situation.
Saying this, Empress Changsun almost fainted, because Empress Changsun really didn't expect that her son would think of herself like this, she was his mother, how could he do such a thing to herself.
Empress Changsun's heartbroken expression made Li Shimin panic, and soon, Li Shimin told Empress Changsun that Li Tai didn't actually disbelieve his mother, and Li Tai probably did this to deliberately hit Li Zhan, and then hit Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin is an old fritter, and he knows too well what Li Tai's purpose is for doing this.
But this statement not only did not make the eldest grandson queen feel better, but made the eldest grandson queen completely faint, and when the eldest grandson queen woke up, her stomach suddenly hurt, it was the kind of heart-rending pain.
All of a sudden, Li Shimin was about to go crazy, and he immediately ordered Sun Simiao to enter the palace, and then brought news to Li Zhan.
In the early hours of the morning, Li Zhan and the crown prince Li Chengqian entered the palace together.
"Father... What happened to the Queen Mother? Li Zhan and Li Chengqian hurried over, and after seeing Li Shimin, they stepped forward to ask.
Glancing at Li Zhan and Li Chengqian, Li Shimin said a little bitterly: "I don't know yet, Doctor Sun has just come, and he is still inside for treatment, so you should stay outside for a while...!" ”
As he spoke, Li Shimin sighed.
Li Zhan and Li Chengqian saw their father's tired appearance, so they couldn't bear to ask any more, but sat aside and waited slowly... This is about the time to wait for a cup of tea.
followed Sun Simiao out, and as soon as Sun Simiao walked out, the father and son surrounded him as soon as possible.
Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "Doctor Sun... My queen, is she alright? ”
"Oh...!" Sun Simiao looked at Li Shimin and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, after the queen's body has been treated by the old way, there is no problem, but...!" ”
"But what...?" Li Zhan looked at Sun Simiao and said, "Please come to Mr. Sun according to the truth, no matter what you say, I, Li Zhan, guarantee Mr. Sun's safety." ”
"Don't worry...!" Li Shimin said loudly: "I will also ensure the safety of the divine doctor...!" ”
Finally, Sun Simiao spoke: "The queen's mother suddenly had colic, one is restless, and the second is the most important reason, that is, the queen mother is poisoned...!" ”
"Poisoned...?" Sun Simiao's words made Li Shimin's father and son collectively shocked.
"How can you be poisoned?" Li Shimin was the first to say in disbelief: "Guanyin's food is all taken care of by the people in his palace, those people shouldn't do such a thing?" ”
Li Zhan looked at Li Chengqian beside him at this time and said, "Have you fulfilled my request, didn't I say that you can't let the queen mother eat anything sent by others?" ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Big brother... I did it, and I didn't let my mother eat anything from anyone else, and not only that, but I kept everything that was sent by others.
I didn't let the queen mother drink the fetal pills that Wei Guifei boiled herself. ”
"What... Concubine Wei boiled a fetal pill for the queen mother? Why...? Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and asked in surprise.
"It seems to be thanking the queen mother for asking for the title for Li Yi." Li Chengqian hurriedly replied.
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "This can still explain the past!" After speaking, Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian: "Where is the fetal pill, take it out and let Doctor Sun take a look?" ”
"Oh... Good...! With that, Li Chengqian ran out, in fact, this fetal pill has been kept in the Lizheng Palace, so after Li Chengqian ran out, he came back with a bowl of fetal pills.
Medicine is different from other things, looking at medicine actually can't see whether it is poisoned, because now this Datang does not have a microscope, so it can't be analyzed at all, and in ancient times, it was necessary to look at the residue of medicine to analyze whether the medicine was poisonous.
So even if the fetal medicine came, Sun Simiao couldn't figure out whether there was any medicine in it at this time.
After getting such a result, Li Shimin's father and son all began to frown a little, and soon, the Lizheng Palace was under martial law, and Li Zhan personally tried all the slaves and maids in the Lizheng Palace.
The trial will not start the next day, nor will it start after it is prepared, but it will start now.
Wei Chang was urgently transferred to the palace, and together with Li Zhan, he began to interrogate all the slaves and maids in the Lizheng Palace.
Li Zhan settled in the Wude Hall that night... You must know that the Wude Hall is not an ordinary person can settle in, the Wude Hall is very close to the East Palace, Wei Zheng once said, "the Wude Hall is close to the Hou Yan" and "in the west of the East Palace", and its geographical location can be seen.
What's more, Li Yuanji lived in the Wude Hall and communicated with Li Jiancheng, and Xuanzong of the Later Tang Dynasty listened to the government in the Wude Hall at the beginning of his accession to the throne, which shows how important and sensitive the Wude Hall is.
After Li Zhan settled in the Wude Palace, he began to check all the suspicious people in the Lizheng Hall one by one.
It's just that the night has passed... With the help of Wei Chang, Li Zhan came to a conclusion, that is, no one in the Lizheng Palace had a chance to be poisoned, which was both a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that the people in the Lizheng Palace have cleared their suspicions, but the bad thing is that it is still unclear how the eldest grandson queen was poisoned.
According to what Sun Simiao said, the poison in the eldest grandson queen is very slight, but it is a poison that is slowly aggravating, fortunately, it can be discovered in advance this time, and it will be troublesome if it is found after the poison is aggravated.
So this episode is also a good thing.
But Li Zhan didn't find the source of the poison, which means that the poison has always been there, as long as it has always been there, even if it is treated now, there is still a danger of poisoning.
"Your Highness... It's all been investigated, but unfortunately no poison was found, and no suspicious person who could be poisoned was found, except for this Yu Bao... Almost all of them are the people of the Lizheng Hall itself. Wei Chang looked at Li Zhan, who had not slept all night, and his face was a little pale.
At this time, Li Zhan got up from his chair and said, "This is weird... How did this poison get into my mother's body, if I can't find out, I think there is only one way! ”
"What's the solution?" Wei Chang asked.
"That is, to transfer my queen mother to Dunhuafang, and then change a group of people who serve, palace maids, and chamberlains... Let those closest to you serve... In that case, I guess it will be fine. ”
After Li Zhan finished speaking, suddenly, Wei Chang looked at Li Zhan and said, "Your Highness... Something suddenly occurred to me. ”
"What's the matter...?" Li Zhan looked at Wei Chang.
Then I heard Wei Chang say: "We seem to have ignored the closest person to the queen...!" ”
"What do you mean?" Li Zhan looked at Wei Chang with some frowns.
Wei Chang thought carefully for a while and said, "Please don't be surprised, Your Highness, what the subordinate means... We checked all the people in the Lizheng Palace, but we didn't check the people closest to the queen's mother, His Royal Highness Li Zhi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Son...!
Your Highness, I think so, maybe Your Highness doesn't know that you have brought poison, or you have been passively turned into poisoners...! ”
Wei Chang's words made Li Zhan's eyes suddenly light up, because this was also a breakthrough point, and then he saw Li Zhan and said: "Then you hurry up and check, who has the queen mother been in close contact with recently."
Remember... No one can let go, and they want the most complete record. ”
"Yes...!" Wei Chang turned around and went out, looking at Wei Chang's departing figure, Li Zhan also sighed slowly, at this time Li Zhan made up his mind, no matter what, he must find out the person who poisoned his mother.
Li Zhan believes that no one in his relatives is allowed to harm him.
