There are many ways to kill a person, the easiest way is to stab him to death, or poison him, in short, all kinds of murder methods are fine.

It's just that if the person to be killed is the emperor, things will be a little difficult to handle. Some conventional means are useless, so some other means can only be used.

One of the simplest and most effective is to lure the emperor into indulging in alchemy.

There are many smart people in this world, and many people know that there is no benefit to taking pills. But history proves that many emperors died by taking pills.

Others Zhu Houzhao don't know, but Emperor Yongzheng, who has been criticized a lot in history, is addicted to pills when he is old, and then dies.

Zhu Houzhao has always been very, very careful about this, and he is very, very wary.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, this is a low-cost, low-cost, and very suitable means for murdering the emperor.

As long as the emperor is lured to indulge in immortality, he can make the emperor take the pill. As for whether it is drugged in the pill or the pill itself, it is a problem. It's hard to say.

If the emperor doesn't believe in immortality, then he can also start from other aspects, such as other medicines, the most common of which is aphrodisiac.

Give the emperor a beautiful woman and let the emperor take aphrodisiac. After all the fighting, no kind of strong body can stand it.

Beauty and longevity are the only ways to attract the emperor.

Not to mention other emperors, how about being as wise as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? What about being as wise as Tang Taizong? Far away, there is Qin Shi Huang.

Isn't it the same with your own dad? was coaxed by a mere eunuch, and after the eunuch died, he still believed that their family had a book from heaven.

As long as people have **, they are easy to be used, and everyone is the same.

Now that such a Taoist priest has appeared, how can Zhu Houzhao not be worried?

What made Zhu Houzhao feel that there was a conspiracy in this was that this time it was actually a Taoist priest who was responsible for giving birth to children.

This is a weakness, a weakness that Zhu Houzhao cannot participate in and cannot stop.

Once Zhu Houzhao participates or stops it, then it can be understood that Zhu Houzhao is afraid that his father will have a son. What is it?

Daddy will be unhappy, there is a trick hidden here to separate the emperor's father and son. Don't think this kind of thing is uncommon, and it's not uncommon in history.

The most famous should be Emperor Jiajing's two dragons not meeting.

The simplest truth is to exclude all the people trusted by the emperor, only trust yourself, and then use power to mess with the government.

This is what every powerful minister will do, so don't mention how loyal Wei Zhongxian is. Kill the emperor's children, or kill the emperor's favored concubines, this can be done. Even though they were loyal to the emperor, they wanted to consolidate their power above all.

It is not so much that they are loyal to the emperor as that they are loyal to their rights.

There is only one mother with my father, and it is basically impossible to start with beauty. Even if the woman who is sent to the palace, it is useless. Mom's power is definitely not mortal. The ministers will not only fail to achieve their goals, but will offend the queen.

If you start from Changsheng, the danger factor is too great, and it is easy to attract the opposition of the courtiers, especially the crown prince.

Now with his own strength, there are not many people who dare to offend him.

So they chose the angle of having a child, which is obviously Sima Zhao's heart, which is to exclude themselves. How could Zhu Houzhao not be suspicious?

Glancing at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Recruit Yang Lian to the palace." ”

As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days is a time to use soldiers.

He has raised Yang Lian for so long, and he has always let him fight, and this time it is time for him to take the lead.

Zhu Houzhao wants to see if Yang Lian can do anything?

If you can, consider getting him on the table; If he can't, let him get out of the way as soon as possible.

This probability should not be large, because when I was in Yangzhou, I had already inspected Yang Lian in detail, and this is a talented person.

Of course, in terms of organizational structure, we need to continue to look at it. This is a great opportunity.

Yang Lian came quickly.

He didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had summoned him, but he didn't dare to delay.

For Yang Lian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is his everything.

Because of the promotion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has today's status. Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, his status and power will inevitably rise.

Therefore, for the affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Lian did not dare to slack off at all.

Walking into Xianyang Palace, Yang Lian directly picked up her clothes and knelt on the ground, "Slave Yang Lian, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and glanced at Yang Lian.

At this time, Yang Lian was dressed as a red eunuch to serve, and the whole person was actually charming.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, Yang Lian seemed to have painted her eyebrows and wiped her blush, becoming more and more like a woman.

However, Yang Lian herself is a eunuch, and Zhu Houzhao can't interfere with anything, and suspects that Yang Lian is a homosexual.

However, Zhu Houzhao is not ready to meddle in this kind of matter. He was an enlightened monarch, and if the eunuch wanted to engage in homosexuality, he could go with him.

In Zhu Houzhao's impression, homosexuality did not seem to be very averse in ancient times, especially in aristocratic circles. It seems to be quite common for top aristocrats to raise some **. Scholars raise scholars, and sometimes they are **.

However, Zhu Houzhao had no interest in this aspect, so he did not explore.

"Alright, get up!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.

When Yang Lian stood up, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "There is an errand for you to do." ”

Yang Lian hurriedly said, "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to command." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "The palace summoned a Taoist priest called Qingyezi, who was recommended by Qin Yong, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. This palace wants you to check these two people, and this palace wants to know where this green leaf came from and what things have you done before? How did you get on the line with Qin Yong, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple? ”

"As for this Qin Yong, this palace wants to know where he is from and where he is studying? Who to worship as a teacher? Who are you friends with? Whose kindness has you received? Who have you offended? One by one, you will check them all for the palace. ”

"This errand is done, and this palace has a heavy reward. If you mess up an errand, you know what the consequences will be. ”

When Yang Lian heard this, she was shocked. He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not only serious this time, but also ruthless.

Obviously this is a big deal. In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave an errand, and basically did not have this attitude, but this is the first time.

If you can't do it yourself, then it is estimated that the lightest punishment is dismissal from office; If it fails, it is estimated that the head will be gone.

Thinking of this, Yang Lian hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the slave maid understands that she will definitely live up to His Royal Highness the Prince's expectations." The slave must do the errand. ”
