Chapter 102: Poisoning
There are eunuchs in North Korea, of course, they did not form a huge interest group, to bite and joke with the scholar group, between the two classes of nobles, there has been enough dog-eat-dog, and another group of eunuchs to divide up the already scarce resources of North Korea, how is that possible. Δ ㄟ.
However, by Li Liang's side, there are still so many eunuchs who are confidants, and in the inner court's inner court, the official is from the second-grade Shangshan, that is, the eunuch, at the same time, Li Liang's side, there are a few little eunuchs who are behind at any time, and the task of one of them is really not new to say, and the task of the eunuch is to eat the food of the monarch in order to verify whether it is poisonous.
The eunuch walked in front of Zhaoxian Shizi and took the box of "Aigu", and when he saw that it was actually a pitch-black color and a boxy shape, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he thought that this was a gift from the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire was naturally advanced.
This is natural, the Celestial Empire of this era, almost as great as the United States in later generations, is naturally a little chocolate, and the eunuch ate a piece of chocolate in front of everyone.
He grovelled on his back, he didn't dare to move at will, he didn't dare to feel the bitter and fragrant taste of chocolate for the first time, but it was not bad, and he nodded, as if everything was feeling great.
Everyone was satisfied, after all, this was a gift from the Celestial Empire, and the prince said that it was best to eat it while it was fresh.
The internal reason and logic of this North Korean people have the tradition of eating kimchi, and in the end they actually ate tricks and eat pride, the internal reason and logic are naturally because in order to promote their national independence, there is no way to compare with the nationalist chicken blood, and the negative effect of this chicken blood is naturally that South Korea's kimchi is the most delicious, the best for thousands of years, and all kinds of Sun Yat-sen is Korean, Confucius is Korean, such grotesque rumors, in fact, people who understand that they naturally know that it is nonsense, but the ultimate brainwashing is to believe it.
However, everyone understands the truth that food is not resistant to storage, and since the chocolate that the eunuch ate, that is, after this "Aigu", his expression seems to be better, and there seems to be no reason not to give the prince a face.
Li Liang looked at his son, he had a look of hope and yearning, very plain, so he also happily picked up the box offered by the eunuch, picked a piece of Aigu to eat, he didn't care about any appetite, but if the dignified son of the family is filial to his father and the king of food, and the father does not care about it at all, I am afraid that it will give some people bad guesses, such as the prince has lost his power, he is not favored, the king is going to change the general, and the prince will be abolished.
In this palace, it's just such a fuck, every line and every move is full of all kinds of fucking meanings and intrigues, anyway, it's impossible to be a good person, but when other people also start to use their hands and feet, after eating "Aigu", they all know some tastes, and they all nod secretly.
Well, in this era, this kind of thing is very common, among the eunuchs of the Qing court, there are special counts for lychees and grapes, and in some places, grapes are sold individually, which is a manifestation of the bitterness of the ancient material is extremely unreachable, so it is normal for a group of people to share a little food
As we said before, this is a very fucked up era, even if there are countless ideas in mind, on the surface, it still has to be high-sounding, and someone immediately asked: "By the way, Shizi, where is the envoy sent by General Xu?" When his people arrive, we should also treat them well, and we might as well talk about them carefully. ”
These people who can stand beside Li Liang are all the two classes of literary classes and martial arts nobles of generations of nobles, the most noble and trustworthy, but they also have their own plans, they are still thinking about doing business with Shenyang, not to mention anything else, since the Jurchens are finished, then the economy of Liaodong will naturally get up, and if you don't take the opportunity to take advantage of this time, sell a variety of tobacco, and you will all regret it.
In this era, the pillar industry of the North Koreans is to export their fist products to the outside world, which are ginseng, tobacco, and women.
Zhao Xian Shizi said lightly: "That person went back halfway. ”
After a while, someone had their own reaction, what does it mean to go back halfway: "What does this mean, isn't this blaming me for not being able to entertain well." ”
"Oh, yes, this Jurchen tribulation can be regarded as a safe one, and it should be celebrated ......"
Suddenly, a voice came from a distance, it was the eunuch who had just tasted food, covered his stomach and fell to the ground helplessly, and one of the ministers saw it, and seemed to be very worried, and said, "Isn't this thing fresh?" ”
He spoke for a reason, this eunuch position is not done by people, at least not by normal people, it is all kinds of training since childhood, from various attitudes to do things, to observing the master's eye movements, only one habitual action is needed to know whether to light a cigarette or pour wine, and his own training can also be called, what not to eat or drink, just a small amount of food, can support a day.
The reason is very simple, the master still needs you to serve 24 hours a day, you dare to sleep casually, it's against you.
Therefore, the eunuchs and palace maids, before the age of 3o, will be released from the court, or be favored, and are not allowed to go home, but they can also find another business outside the palace, and they can be regarded as being able to live in peace for a long time, also because, after the age of 3o, they are basically boiled until the oil runs out and the lamp is dry, and they are crumbling.
However, the eunuch in front of him was just in his twenties, and he was "in the prime of life", suitable for being a slave, but suddenly fell like this, which was naturally strange to everyone.
"Come on, take him down, so that he can be born and cured, this autumn tiger has arrived, and sure enough, the food is not fresh."
Li Qi said casually, according to the original habit, there were naturally eunuch attendants around him who carried the little eunuch out of here and sent him for treatment, but he immediately saw a picture that he couldn't think of for a while.
Those who originally carried the "gift" box into the house, quickly occupied the door of the main hall, their hands, originally empty, but, who knows, those boxes are unique, in the poles, in the gaps, there are weapons hidden, of course, are small short knives.
The internal power struggles in North Korea are one after another, all kinds of palace fights, and relatives killing relatives are trivial, so the rules of this palace ban are much stricter than those of the Celestial Empire, and there are samurai in front of the palace at any time.
In this case, without waiting for Li Liang's order, several guards in this small hall had already pounced and shouted: "You are so bold, do you know what you are doing, and you still don't retreat?" ”
Compared with others, most of them are dressed in leather armor, holding swords and other weapons in their hands, and their lives are all pinned on Li Kun, and they are usually more desperate, it is decades ago, after the Japanese invasion, Li Kuo specially collected orphans, and the usual activities such as marrying wives and having children are also under the control of Li Kuo, so they can naturally break away from the so-called political struggle in North Korea and be loyal to Li Kuo alone.
Not to mention, when they approached those few silent men who were obviously brought in by Zhaoxian Shizi, King Li Qi also shouted behind him: "Take it, don't be merciful." ”
At the same time, he looked at his son, as if he didn't know him, as if he thought of some rumors, some legends, but he didn't dare to think about it, just inexplicable fear, and a faint sadness, and at the same time, there seemed to be some pain in his abdomen.
He returned to his seat, several old courtiers were shocked at this time, and they didn't dare to rashly walk over to greet Li Liang, so as not to be suspicious of Li Xia, these people have no great knowledge in their lives, but they are just fools under the small country and widows, at this time, everyone put their spirit on the silent and mysterious men brought by the rebellious prince, as well as the personal guards of King Li Liang.
Of course, on the surface, these guards have a great advantage, their weapons, the leather armor on their bodies, are all good things, but what no one can imagine is that the truth is actually the opposite, these people's craftsmanship, that is, combat skills, and really desperate energy, completely sorry for the equipment on their bodies that is not cheap, and the plain and expensive income, many people still think that this is in the blacks, in fact, this is a very consistent situation with the facts, the monarch's guards have always been, The best choice is actually an iron-blooded man who fights on the tip of the knife, not to mention anything else, it's true that people have something.
Of course, these guards really worked hard, but compared to the few men opposite, they were always a head behind, whether it was strength, kung fu, or desperate ruthlessness, they were all a step behind.
They did cause some damage, slashing a few mysterious men, and after those men were injured, they were even more like crazy demons, facing their weapons and fighting, for a while, everyone was defeated and retreated, and even after a few people were knocked down and the long knives in their hands were taken away, these mysterious men became even more crazy, and their advantages became bigger and bigger, and soon, the guards around Li Liang fell to the ground one after another.
The degree is too fast and too urgent, at this time outside, another group of Li Liang's cronies have already surrounded them, as if they are going to attack in, but they don't dare, on the other hand, the people brought by Zhaoxian Shizi have already begun to block the door, and then divide labor and cooperate to take care of all the ministers.
Here, the shortcomings of North Korean politics are revealed, because the descendants of two classes can do two classes, and at the same time, all kinds of party struggles are really unchanged for thousands of years, and in order to consolidate power, the king of North Korea must always suppress the capable and strong people in the system, so the consequences are ......
The strong can't have, the brave can't have, and in the end they are all a bunch of vulgar people, at this time, in fact, the number of ministers is much more than these men, and there are really a few young and strong, if you really work hard, although you don't say defeat these men, at least you can create opportunities for the guards who are about to rush in outside, with the advantage of numbers and equipment.
But everything seems to be fate, countless coincidences, all converged, just as tens of thousands of Japanese troops could be rampant in Korea a few years ago, the Li family of North Korea is not right, it is relying on the general to make the king of the queen, it can be regarded as ascending to the position, so the mind of internal defense is stronger than the mind of foreign war, therefore, the court minister is a waste of things, in fact, it is normal.
Zhao Xian Shizi seemed to be very nervous, and after a heavy breath, he seemed to be very anxious, came to his father, and looked at him, the king of Joseon, Li Liang, was full of gray face at this time, most of the reason, but it was because he saw the rebellion of his own son, and the small half was because of the chocolate, the "Aigu".
He looked at his son, and could only spit out a few words: "Why ......"
But in fact, I already seem to have thought of many things in my heart, such as what the envoys said, some words of the prince, changes in his attitude towards the Jurchens, and so on.
Details determine everything, and if Li Liang can't grasp the importance of details, he will naturally fail.
He quietly looked at the dome of his main hall, as if he was a little dumbfounded, after his death, what will happen to the road of North Korea?
And then he died.
Zhaoxian Shizi walked quietly to his father's side, seemed to be able to finally hold his chest high, and said: "My father is dead, he was poisoned by something sent by the Ming people, from today on, I will be enthroned as the new king of North Korea, and the commander of the army swept the north of the Yalu River, laying a big territory for my Korean army and people, you will never obey." ”
Li Liang is also a king for decades in the end, with the majesty of accumulation, the grace of usual benevolence, and some loyal ministers, I saw that among the ministers, a person flashed out, moving his gray beard, and said: "Shizi, the Ming Dynasty has always been merciful, even if it is a change of dynasty, it will not have any thoughts about my little North Korea, but you, what Aigu, didn't you take it, no one has anything to do with it from beginning to end." ”
"Yes, that's right, the son of the world is a murderer of his father, a great rebellion, and a heinous crime, deposing him and setting up another king!"
"Yes, a new king."
The vision of the masses will always be sharp and bright, but the power of the masses will never be able to change the facts, nothing can be changed, and they will all be reduced to nothingness.
"Huh."
A sturdy man, without waiting for Zhaoxian Shizi to order, had already slashed out, his knife was really accurate and ruthless, the position just cut to the weak part of the throat, and in one fell swoop, a large amount of blood flowed out of the man's neck and flowed all over the ground.
The smell of blood is very strong, these old men in the house, who has seen this situation? They were too frightened to make a sound, and they were silent like cicadas.
Everything seems to be very convenient, and for the prince of Zhaoxian, things are just beginning.
As if he was familiar with the road, he took out a small jade object from Li Liang's body, held it in his hand, like some precious treasure, and then held it in his hand, looking at the man who had just waved his knife and seemed to be the first minister to scold him.
The man seemed to know what it meant, walked over, took the jade tiger talisman, and said, "Shizi, I'm going to come out, you give me this tiger talisman." ”
Zhao Xian Shizi looked at the jade tiger talisman, this tiger talisman has always been the king's greatest reliance to control the army, once handed over, the initiative is in the hands of the man in front of him.
, I just planned to poison my father, and the three fat men stole from me, the three fat people, you are ruthless
