Chapter 680: Palace Change
The old emperor didn't say no, he just put his wrist on the edge of the bed, obviously asking Zhou Heng to take a look now.
Zhou Heng put down the medicine box, found the pulse pillow under the old emperor's wrist, and began to check.
This inspection, Zhou Heng was stunned, the last time he took the pulse of the old emperor, it was almost a year ago, although he didn't diagnose the pulse, he still looked at it, and didn't find any problems, why did the pulse become like this?
A poem that his grandfather taught him about the vein of death, that is, the beak of the finch comes to three or five beaks, the house leaks for half a day, the bullet stone is hard to find and disperse, the fingers are scattered and the real solution, the fish seems to have and seems to have nothing, and there is no medicine to die on the eve of Dan Zhan, and the old emperor has not fallen all of these six items.
Zhou Heng hurriedly withdrew his hand, and the surprised expression on his face didn't have time to put it away, but after a slight pause, Zhou Heng approached the old emperor unknowingly.
"Your Majesty, please open your mouth and I want to see your tongue."
The old emperor opened his mouth, the tongue coating was normal, but the tongue was bruised, the two veins were open angrily, and the tip of the tongue was even blacker, and Zhou Heng's eyelids jumped.
With such a pulse, coupled with such a tongue, Zhou Heng was a little confused.
The problem of tuberculosis is basically under control, but it is said that such a tongue image is black and purple caused by liver tumors, but this does not match the pulse, Zhou Heng was stumped for a while, what is the reason?
Seeing that Zhou Heng didn't speak for a long time, the old emperor coughed.
"What do you think, just say it!"
Zhou Heng squinted his eyes, realized instantly, quickly knelt down and glanced at a few people around him, and finally looked up at the old emperor.
"Your Majesty means to let the minister say it in front of everyone?"
The old emperor smiled and bowed slightly.
"Say, I want to hear the truth."
Zhou Heng said: "At the beginning, it really confused me, but in terms of pulse, Your Majesty is a dead vein, except for the liver accident, all the internal organs have lost their vitality, but Your Majesty's bruised tongue makes me confused, this is a crisis of hepatoma, but it is so contrary to the pulse, which is too unreasonable."
However, according to the symptoms, the minister can conclude that His Majesty has taken a poisonous herb unique to Yingzhou, which caused such a pulse and tongue to appear.
This poisonous weed is called Hu vine, I have not seen this thing in the capital at present, this thing Yingzhou people pound into a slurry to smear the arrow to hunt beasts, but ordinary people do not know, a small dose of a short time to take, can also treat lung disease.
Of course, some of them are slightly not well controlled, and they may vomit blood, because this effective amount is very close to the amount of poisoning, I think someone must have given His Majesty this medicine, and took it for about three months, of course, if you want to detoxify, you just need a big bowl of vinegar. ”
The old emperor smiled and looked at the three people sitting next to him.
"What's the matter, only Zhou Heng found out, and no one else can do it, right?"
Zhang Ju let out a sigh of relief, and the worried expression on his face relaxed.
"This can be regarded as reassuring, since Your Majesty Zhou Heng has entered the palace, the old ministers have all retreated, and it is easy to cause changes for too long."
Wei Guogong and Lu Pingbei also nodded, and they both stood up and saluted.
"Your Majesty can rest assured that the arrangement has already been arranged, and the ministers will retire first."
Zhou Heng was stunned, what does this battle mean?
Let yourself come, come in a bunch of people, listen to your own diagnosis and treatment, one by one runs faster than the other.
Zhou Heng's thoughts did not affect everyone's movements, and soon the few people in the dormitory left, but what Zhou Heng didn't see was that a few people seemed to be still with sad looks when they went out, and some people raised their sleeves and were still wiping the corners of their eyes.
Fang Jizhong withdrew those brocade piers, and the old emperor sighed and said:
"Zhou Heng, did you find out that I have a serious illness for a long time, but it seems that my body bones are quite tough, but I haven't said it?"
Zhou Heng shuddered, and his hairs stood up at these words, and he hurriedly lay on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what to ......"
The old emperor waved his hand indifferently and interrupted Zhou Heng's words.
"Get up, don't kneel at every turn, I know that you have always questioned Liu Yanjie's medical skills, and you are still wondering why I trust him so much, besides, many things, especially several things related to Princess Ning and Zhu Yunmo, are all at my behest, right?"
Zhou Heng didn't speak, but his back was already wet, and what he said was right in his heart, and he forgot to refute it at the moment.
From Princess Ning's difficulty in giving birth to Zhu Yunmo's death, to Zhu Yunmo's perennial drug control and almost becoming a fool, as well as the old emperor's body, no matter what happens, I feel that Liu Yanjie is not simple.
Since the old emperor said so, Zhou Heng raised his eyelids and looked at them, nodding slightly.
"There are some doubts, Your Majesty's lung disease has dragged on for too long, although there is no new medicine we have developed that can be cured immediately, but it is still possible to control it.
When Kechen first saw you, his fingers had become obvious clubbing, but he couldn't see any symptoms of lung disease on the surface, so he was really suspicious. ”
Zhou Heng did not say anything stupidly about Ning Wangfu, but directly said that the old emperor's body, he didn't know anything when he first entered Beijing, and it was not an exaggeration to find out that he didn't say anything.
The old emperor nodded, "I have always known that there are not a few people from the Golden Crow Sect in this palace, and Liu Chengjie is one of them. ”
Zhou Heng was stunned, the old emperor knew everything, this was using himself as bait to fish!
He is really a ruthless person, but it is obvious that the old emperor has a backhand, after all, he just checked the toxins in his body and knew it.
Oh yes, and the medicine that Su Xiaoxiao and they were taking, obviously this is not from Liu Yanjie's hand.
If there is a conspiracy theory, the old emperor used Liu Chengjie's hand to poison himself, but he knew that the poison would help his lung disease, so it seemed to make sense.
"The poison in Your Majesty's body was placed on you by yourself?"
The old emperor smiled and waved his hand towards Fang Jizhong on the side, only to see Fang Jizhong coming over with a big bowl of vinegar, the old emperor didn't have the strength to serve the vinegar bowl at this time, Zhou Heng hurriedly opened the medicine box and found a special straw.
Fang Jizhong saw this thing, and quickly took it and put it in the bowl, the old emperor drank the vinegar in one go, Zhou Heng looked at his teeth and knew that this vinegar was old vinegar when he smelled it, but it was instantly detoxified after a bowl.
Zhou Heng seemed to understand a little that what the old emperor was going to do, pretending to be sick before and letting the people of the Golden Crow Sect relax, just to hit with one blow.
Obviously, this is going to close the net tonight, but I heard the third prince say that the defense of Beijing, the five military camps have been scattered at this time, even if they want to fight back, there is no one?
The old emperor didn't rinse his mouth, sat on the edge of the bed and endured for a moment, then exhaled, the whole person seemed to be more comfortable, and quickly let Fang Jizhong help him up, Zhou Heng blinked, is this to be complimentary?
Zhou Heng wanted to get up, but the old emperor waved his hand.
"Just wait for me!"
Zhou Heng didn't move, although the gourd vine can use vinegar to detoxify, but the process is still not very beautiful, because if you drink vinegar, you will have unbearable abdominal pain, and then you will have a wild diarrhea, and then the poison will be cleared.
Sure enough, listening to the sound behind the screen, Zhou Heng subconsciously lowered his head, and from time to time, a little eunuch was called in by Fang Jizhong, and after changing the gong bucket a few times, the old emperor was helped back, and the whole person looked a lot weaker.
Zhou Heng hurriedly stepped forward, this time he didn't need to be instructed, he checked the old emperor's pulse again, and sure enough, all the symptoms of the dead pulse were gone, and he looked at the tongue again, ruddy and shiny, and the previous symptoms were swept away.
"Your Majesty's poison has been resolved, and the minister has brought new medicine, and the remaining lung diseases in Your Majesty's body still need new medicine to control, so that the clubbing finger will slowly improve."
The old emperor smiled, "Then use medicine, why don't you ask me why I called you into the palace tonight?" ”
Zhou Heng shook his head, what is the use of asking this.
"Your Majesty, everything is under Your Majesty's control, and the ministers dare not discuss it! It's just that these homeless people, if they break out, with the state of the five military camps at this time, it seems that it is difficult to control the overall situation, even if these upper-level personnel of the Golden Crow Sect can be caught, the number of homeless people cannot be underestimated. "Sister Literature Network
The old emperor looked at Fang Jizhong and said with a smile:
"How about it, I'm not mistaken, although Zhou Aiqing is not very old, she thinks very reliably!"
Fang Jizhong nodded, "Your Majesty Shengming, with a unique vision, after receiving the secret letter from Uncle Zhou, the old slave knew that all this Uncle Zhou guessed is not far from ten!" ”
Zhou Heng shuddered, these words really gave people goosebumps, and saying his guess at that time was also a way to get out of trouble.
It can't always be that he is on the cusp of the storm, since he wants to catch the people of the Golden Crow Sect, he must catch the biggest leader.
As for the last sentence just now, Zhou Heng didn't want to say it at first, he just slipped out as soon as he spoke, obviously the old emperor was very aware of the state of the five military camps, since this was the case, Zhou Heng was no longer worried.
As for who he asked for to escort him?
Where to mobilize the team?
In what way?
Where are people hiding?
When to get your hands on?
What do you want to do?
Zhou Heng doesn't have to worry about this, he will lose if he says too much, he doesn't want to take care of things, just listen to orders honestly.
No matter what they do, as long as they can avoid causing war, otherwise their industry will be wiped out.
Zhou Heng didn't say much, he hurriedly prepared the newly developed medicine, infused it to the old emperor, adjusted the speed, and then stepped back, the amount of medicine was not large, and it could be over in a quarter of an hour, he waited quietly.
The old emperor leaned on the pillow, leaned sideways, and looked at the dropper.
"Tonight, I'm afraid they're going to do it, are Zhou Aiqing and me afraid here?"
Zhou Heng smiled, and said at this time that he was afraid, there was a fart.
"The minister is not afraid, it's not that the minister is not afraid of death, but His Majesty has been planning for so long, and the posture of leading the king into the Weng has been placed, so naturally he will not return empty-handed, His Majesty wants to put himself in danger, and these old ministers will not ignore it, so the palace seems to be dangerous, but it is actually the safest."
"You're smart, but don't worry, I already have an arrangement, I have an acquaintance of yours, he will protect the capital, just wait quietly for changes."
Zhou Heng blinked, the old emperor wanted to sell Guanzi, so he naturally had confidence, but who was this acquaintance?
Could it be, a veteran of Kyochu?
Although these veterans are all dominant, they do not control the military power at the moment, even the son of Wei Guogong is far away in southern Sichuan, and the capital is beyond the reach of the whip, as for the garrison of Tianjin Port, this Zhou Heng does not understand.
Looking at the infusion tube, it was already the end, Zhou Heng stood up and pulled out the needle for the old emperor.
In fact, there are still some muttering in my heart, I can give the old emperor medicine to control his condition, and the method of pretending to be poisoned is not an ordinary person, but why hasn't it appeared now?
Moreover, such a capable person, why didn't the eldest prince and Princess Ning come to the rescue when something happened?
Zhou Heng's heart was full of doubts, but he gave up after thinking about it, Bacillus anthracis, even if the medical skills are advanced, without the corresponding antibiotics, this is difficult to control.
As for Princess Ning, if she makes a move, she can only have a fifty percent hope of saving her life by removing her uterus.
After packing up his things and putting the medicine box on the side, Zhou Heng sat on the chair in a regular manner, and Fang Jizhong came over at this time.
"Your Majesty is already ugly, and there is already a commotion outside the city!"
"Got it, watch the movements in the palace, remember not to move!"
Zhou Heng didn't look up, it seemed that the other party had already made a move, although none of them said anything, but Zhou Heng knew that all the speculations in his letter had come true.
Wen Changjin is the ruler of the Golden Crow Sect, this is really taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the old emperor is critically ill, whether it is to push the crown prince to the throne, or to support the army and self-respect, it is very easy to succeed.
At this moment, the firelight flickered outside the window, and the sound of footsteps, weapons clashing, and fighting was endless, and there were so many that it was impossible to distinguish the number.
Where did these people come from?
Why did you suddenly appear outside the Heart Cultivation Palace?
Even if there is an internal response, it will not be able to reach this speed, is there also a secret passage like Ma Wenliang and their family in this palace?
Zhou Heng's eyes widened, he stood up and looked out the window, this bed was pasted with window lattice paper, not Beishan's glass, and the situation outside could not be seen.
Hearing the sound of getting up behind him, Zhou Heng turned around, and the old emperor stood up and tidied up his bedclothes.
"Come on, Fang Companion will change my clothes, and Zhou Heng will not go to the window."
Zhou Heng nodded hurriedly, seeing that the old emperor was not worried about the rebels who fell from the sky at all, his heart that had just beaten and overdrive, and he was a little quieter.
The old emperor was not slow, he quickly changed into clothes, Zhou Heng opened the medicine box, and this time he rummaged through it, and a pistol wrapped in fabric was revealed.
Zhou Heng hurriedly grabbed it and put it in his sleeve, found a quick-acting heart-saving pill, if he couldn't catch the other party for a while, the old emperor had to keep his best condition, and he should stabilize his mind in advance.
"Your Majesty, taking this medicine under your tongue can make Your Majesty look more energetic."
The old emperor didn't push back, he took the pill under his tongue, and a cool feeling rushed straight to his head, and the old emperor nodded.
"It's true that my mind is a lot clearer, although I drank vinegar and detoxified, I still feel a little dizzy, and my chest is still stuffy, this medicine is so magical."
Zhou Heng endured it and didn't have a seizure, what time is this, why is he not in a hurry at all.
"Your Majesty has praised it, shall we go out?"
The old emperor nodded, straightened his sleeves, and put his hand on Fang Jizhong's arm.
"Let's go, go out and meet my good son!"
Zhou Heng didn't talk nonsense, took a step behind the old emperor, and followed to the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the door opened, and the three of them walked out.
In front of the door of the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, it was illuminated by many torches as bright as day, and there were thousands of people in black pressure, these people were wearing armor very similar to the forbidden army, but they all tied a white cloth on their right arm, presumably to distinguish between friend and foe.
On the old emperor's side, in addition to Zhou Heng and Fang Jizhong, there were only Pang Qi and more than a dozen trembling little eunuchs left, and there were more than 20 hidden guards of the factory guards under the steps.
Zhou Heng was just a little puzzled, where was the reinforcements that the old emperor said, could they be blocked, so that even if these people were trapped from the periphery, they would be meat on the chopping block.
In the crowd opposite, two people walked out, one was Wen Changjin, and the other was the crown prince, these two people walked slowly towards the bottom of the steps, and the hidden guards and those little eunuchs kept retreating.
Wen Changjin looked at the old emperor with a smile, and saw that the old emperor was leaning on Fang Jizhong almost all of his body, and the confidence on his face was a little more.
"The minister sees Your Majesty, there is no need for the minister to say such a battle, Your Majesty knows what to do if you want to come, and please ask Your Majesty to write an edict of abdication, at least this can save the last trace of face!"
The old emperor's eyes fell from Wen Changjin's body to the prince beside him, no matter how submissive and mediocre the prince was, this was the heir of the old emperor.
"I want to know, does the prince think so too?"
