In the first year of Qianfeng (666 AD), the seventh day of the sixth month of summer, around seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Penglai Palace Penglai Hall is the queen's dormitory and the center of the dormitory. In the courtyard of the main hall, the palace people were in a hurry, and the eunuchs were in a mess. All of them were in a hurry, their expressions were impatient and panicked, and their steps were disorganized. The left and right guards the Qinxun Mansion, the North Ya Yulin Forbidden Army, and the martial law palace gates.

The Imperial Physician's Department ordered Duan to send him, who was already over the age of old, and his hair was as pale as snow. With a medicine box on his shoulder, four guards held him hostage, trembling with fear. Entering the inner hall of Penglai, when he saw the picture in front of him, his face was as white as paper. I felt that the world was spinning, my eyes were black, and I almost fainted.

There was a banquet in the hall, and there was a mess nearby, with cold and cold scraps everywhere, and countless porcelain fragments. Several palace people guarded, the queen's face was pale, and her phoenix eyes were full of anger, glaring at the southeast of the dinner table. Two middle-aged men, dressed in light scarlet official robes, knelt on the ground with their heads down, their bodies trembling like chaff.

Under their knees, small yellow stains oozed out, probably scared to pee. On the opposite floor, curled up women in palace costumes, dressed luxuriously and nobly. He was less than twenty years old, and his white eyes were turned upward, and the corners of his eyes were oozing blood.

The vermilion cherry mouth, with a steady stream of blood, pollutes the cyan floor. The face of the country and the city is extremely hideous at the moment, full of ruthlessness and unwillingness. The hair on his head is disheveled, his body is covered with vegetable soup, and his appearance is embarrassing. The spoon in the palm of his hand had broken at the moment, cutting through his white fingers.

Duan Xun got permission and forced his heart to calm down and tremble to check. It was just a routine check, and the person had already lost his breath, so he left the body. Take the silver needle bag in the medicine box, insert the silver needle into the food, and wait for two or three minutes. If the needle turns black, it means that the food is poisonous.

The scene was silent, and soon the result was determined, Duan Xian suppressed his fear, and carefully reported: "Mrs. Wei Guo died, and the poison is Heding Hong, which is in the kudzu porridge." After the test of Lao Chen, the table was full of food dishes, and only this porridge was poisonous. ”

The two people who were kneeling suddenly raised their heads and cried out for injustice. Kowtowing was like pounding garlic, Wu Huaiyun couldn't cry: "Ask the queen to see clearly, the minister did not poison him." The minister also didn't know why there was a crane top red in the kudzu powder offered. We are wronged, please let the queen know from us..."

Mei Niang's face sank like water, her chest rose and fell violently, and her phoenix eyes stared at Helan's. The hand hidden in the sleeve couldn't help but tremble, and the chest was uncomfortable. In the face of such blood, no matter how strong and firm the mind is, it will also be terrified.

I don't know how long later, the guards outside the door reported that Emperor Li Zhi was coming. There was a slight commotion again, Mei Niang instantly came back to her senses and motioned to the palace people to help. Hurriedly went to meet the car, and just walked out of the door, Li Zhi hurried over. Unexpectedly, he bypassed her and strode into the hall.

The bloody scene in the hall, he didn't hesitate for a moment, and went straight to the corpse. Squatted down and hugged him, quickly brewed emotions, hugged and cried loudly. The crying was heartbreaking, and he asked while crying: "Why is this happening, I was fine just now, why was I poisoned?" ”

Countless palace guards were trembling, and no one dared to speak. Mei Niang leaned in slowly, glanced at the martial brothers, and ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "Wu Huaiyun Wu Weiliang, enter the Tugong Ge powder, Helan ate a few bites, and suddenly died of poison." ”

Li Zhi didn't respond, he was still crying loudly, Mei Niang was not comforted, and continued to sue the two: "They were originally Beijing officials, but because the concubine didn't like it, they were demoted to other places." So he was resentful, and tried to poison the concubine under the pretense of offering tribute. Who knew that by mistake, Helan snatched the kudzu porridge and unfortunately suffered from the poison. ”

The brothers were frightened, shouting loudly, shouting that they were wronged, and denied that they were impatient. The German officer secretly looked at him, and several Yulin guards controlled him and blocked their mouths. Li Zhi was furious, did not look at the Wu brothers, and scanned the surroundings with eagle eyes.

found that Wu Kang was not there, and accusations followed: "Why is Wu Kang not there, I sent someone to pass on the system, why don't you come to the banquet?" He dared to disobey his orders, he dared to defy the king's orders, what did he want to do? Could it be Wu Kang, poisoning the food, left and right Yulin guards, quickly go and get this. ”

Mei Niang was stupid on the spot, and hurriedly explained the reason: "Kang Lang was worried about Liaodong, saying that there was a military matter, and he went to Zichen Hall to face the saint." The chamberlain Li Deguan reported that the concubine got the news and ordered a banquet. He has always been loyal to the court of the saints, and he did not dare to disobey the order. There must be a misunderstanding among them, and the concubine asks His Majesty to learn clearly. ”

Li Zhi jumped like thunder, stretched out his hand to point at Mei Niang, and his roar was almost roaring: "I was in Zichen Palace, he didn't come at all, and the chamberlain didn't report." The facts are clear and clear, he colluded with the martial arts brothers and poisoned the tribute with the intention of murdering the Wei state. I have long suspected in my heart that he can't get rid of Mrs. Han's death. ”

Mei Niang was struck by lightning, she only had fear in her heart, and she didn't care about etiquette, so she tried her best to excuse herself. At this time, Baliang hurriedly entered the hall, fell to his knees, and cried out in a voice: "The servant told the saint, Zuo Fengyu Du Huaigong, saying that Chu Gongzhong is highly poisonous, and I am afraid that his life will not be long." ”

The hall was suddenly quiet, Mei Niang's eyes turned black, and her body collapsed instantly. The eunuch palace people exclaimed, it was another chicken flying and a dog jumping, and Duan Xun immediately rescued him. Li Zhi stopped crying, stunned flashed in his eyes, and hesitated for half a minute. Then he continued to run wild, and immediately ordered the German officer to pass Du Huaigong to meet him.

Huai Gong crawled and ran into the hall and knelt down, wet all over. With a hoarse voice, tears flowed down his face and said: The minister led a team to patrol the palace, and when he inspected the Zichen Gate, he found that the palace people exclaimed, saying that someone had fallen into the water. The minister immediately went to check, and when he came to the garden bridge, he saw that there were ripples in the lake.

At that time, I didn't think much about it, and jumped directly into the lake to save people, but I never expected that it was the general who fell into the water. When he was brought ashore, he was already dying, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth. The minister was frightened at that time, and left with the general in his arms, and went directly to the Imperial Doctor's Office.

The medical doctor diagnosed that it was a strange poison in the body, which would be life-threatening. They were helpless, and Weichen was anxious, thinking of the general's words. He once talked about it, Li Gong in the secret pavilion, Taoist forensic skills, and his magic hands can cure all kinds of poisons.

The minister didn't have time to think about it, so he ran to the Secret Pavilion Bureau and begged Li Gong to help. Fortunately, Li Gong was still there, and the ministers rushed to the guard and were applying needles at the moment. The general didn't get a drop of water, he kept vomiting blood, and his body stiffened.

I heard from the witnesses that the general went to the Zichen Palace, walked to the garden bridge, and suddenly went crazy. I kept shouting that my stomach hurt, lying on the ground and rolling around, and then falling into the lake. If it is not rescued in time, it will not be poisoned to death, but it will also be drowned in water.

Huai Gong was like crying, and finally finished speaking, pursed his lips and whimpered. Li Zhi's face sank like water, his expression was quite complicated, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Today's court meeting is over, he is still alive and well, why is he poisoned?" ”

Huaigong was so anxious that he didn't know why, so he suddenly thought of something, so he told him: When Zuo Fengchen ordered, the general found Weichen and sent a box of food. He said that he brought arrowroot powder from his father and brother from Zizhou, and asked me to take it home and give it to the children to taste.

When the court meeting is over, the general will return to the guard post first and take the left feather forest fish talisman. He said he was a little thirsty and asked me to make a pot of hot tea, but unfortunately the tea was gone. So I boiled hot water and made some arrowroot soup with the arrowroot powder he had brought. The general had a good appetite, ate the arrowroot powder, and then went to the Yulin camp ...

Before she finished speaking, she heard the sound of crying, and Mei Niang had already woken up. knelt on the ground and accused the Wu brothers: "The arrowroot powder that Kang Lang ate was also sacrificed by them." Yesterday, the concubine sent a virtuous official to Zuo Fengchenwei and Qiu Shenyun to collect it. ”

Crying in a hurry, his fingers trembling: "They are snakes and scorpions, and they have long plotted to poison and kill their concubines." never thought that it would not only harm Helan, but also affect Kang Lang. Wu Huaiyun Wu Weiliang, we are relatives, why are we so vicious? The concubine begged His Majesty to return justice to Kang Lang. ”

Li Zhi's expression was bitter, and he went over to support Mei Niang and stared at the Wu brothers. After a long time, he sighed, some angry, some stunned. Ordered the Yulin Forbidden Army, detain the Wu brothers, and send them to Xiantai first. Then he instructed the palace people to clean up the mess in the hall and collect the corpse of the Helan clan.

On the first day of the seventh month, Li Zhi issued an edict, and his son Li Xulun, King Yin was renamed King Yu. The left middle guard of the prince of the school, the great Sixian Liu Renliang, worship the right minister of Xitai. And on the evening of the same day, Xiuzhen Fang Chu Gongfu, Wu Kang leisurely took his eyes.

I found my wife and two lovely daughters in front of the bed, all with red and swollen eyes. They looked at each other for three seconds, they cried and laughed, and the room was noisy and noisy. Wu Kang opened his mouth with difficulty and asked metaphysical questions: Who am I, where is this, am I dead?

After saying that, he lost consciousness, and compared to the last time he was unconscious, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. The mood is really good, the second daughter Wu Xiuniang, the haggard face, makes him very pleased. Tribulation sees true love, it turns out that this daughter also loves her father in her heart.

On the evening of August 13, Wu Kang woke up again and felt much better. I was no longer nauseous and uncomfortable, and I was breathing smoothly, but my muscles were stiff. Mu Ne turned his head, looked at his wife and daughter beside the bed, and squeezed out a smile.

They were overjoyed, gathered in front of the bed, the woman called Daddy, and the daughter-in-law said in a hoarse voice: "Two months and five days, the husband finally woke up, and the concubine didn't know how she survived." If something happens to you, how will my two daughters and I live..."

After speaking, he couldn't cry, and hurriedly comforted him, and the second girl brought tea. Wu Kang felt guilty in his heart, kept squirming his throat, and his words were pale and weak: "Madam, don't get excited, it's all over, and I promise you that there will be no next time." ”

Xiao Qing couldn't speak, grabbed his hands, and kept shaking his head. Troublesome wiped away tears, took the bowl held by Erya, fed warm water with a small spoon, and kept sobbing: "Dad, get better, make trouble and Erya, I can't live without you." ”

Wu Kang was also very uncomfortable, unable to speak, so he could only smile and nod. I don't know how long later, there was a knock on the door, and I opened the door in a commotion. Qian Shun and Li Chunfeng, before coming to the sickbed, Chunfeng sighed and explained to Xiaoqing's mother and daughter: "It's no big deal, let's go back and rest, I'll take care of it tonight." ”

Qian Shun also whispered persuasion, wasted the boss's strength, and finally persuaded them away. Qian Shun left the gatekeeper, leaving only Li Chunfeng. After a physical examination, he sighed again: "The medicine that the old man gave you came in handy after all, and I finally escaped this catastrophe." I can't imagine that you have the guts to harm yourself. ”

Wu Kang laughed, in order to save his life, what is self-harm, put it to death and come back to life. On that day, he clearly felt that a catastrophe was coming, and he decisively chose to take poison. The medicine is prepared by Chunfeng, sealed in a wax pill, and hidden in a counting bag.

When Yu Zhining died, he left a strange suicide note, alluding to the disaster of killing. Wu Kang remembered it and went to visit Li Chunfeng and begged him for guidance. Chunfeng pinched and calculated, and was so embarrassed that he only said one sentence in the end, come back in three days.

Visiting the door as scheduled, Chunfeng gave the wax pill and the instructions for taking it, and explained to him like this: If the high waiter comes to invite, it means that there is no way to return to the sky, and the two will be taken together. If Li Neishou comes to invite, it means that he is in a desperate situation, and he can only eat one.

The instructions for use are as follows: Compared with arsenic cream, this drug is not inferior to the toxicity, but it will not be painful. If you swallow two, Da Luo Jin Immortal will not be able to save his life. If you only take one pill, you must take the antidote within two hours, otherwise you will die.

The side effects were quite large, with the physique of the general, at least two months in a coma. The so-called Li Nei is Mei Niang's henchman, and the corresponding Gao Nei Shi is Li Zhi's henchman. Fortunately in the misfortune, Li Deguan came to invite, so he only took one.

Chunfeng sat on the edge of the bed, held his wrist to check the pulse, put it in the quilt after finishing the matter, and said: "Cultivate for another two months, the blood and blood toxins will be removed, and you will be able to recover as before." You have to be grateful to Huaigong, it was he who found me in time, otherwise there would be no way to recover. Do you want to know what happened after the coma that day? ”

Wu Kang nodded hurriedly, you are not serious, don't sell it, hurry up and explain it. Chunfeng sneered, sat in front of the sickbed, and began to say briefly: Penglai Hall Wu family banquet, Wu brothers offered arrowroot powder, and Shangshi Bureau boiled arrowroot porridge.

Mrs. Wei's porridge was red by the crane, she only drank half a bowl, and the seven orifices bled to death. There are rumors in the inner palace that the two Wu brothers, in order to curry favor with the queen, conspired to poison the Wei State. was detained in Xiantai, and Liu Renliang, the chief priest, was personally responsible for the interrogation.

After listening to Chunfeng's narration, Wu Kang smiled and said nothing, Li Jiu was really ruthless. The Helan clan was poisoned, and I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will put the basin on my head. Because everyone knows that she has an affair with Li Jiu and intends to replace the queen.

Because everyone knows that I, Wu Kang Wu Changzhi, am the queen's lackey. For the sake of my sister, I can take risks, which is the motive for the crime. The family banquet in Penglai Palace, if I am also present, then the place and time of the crime are there.

So to sum up, this will become an iron case, and Nai Weng jumped into the Yellow River, and he can't clear the charge. The consequences are very serious, poisoning the palace is absolutely certain death. Li Jiu, the black-bellied emperor, can be grandiose, cry pretendly, and kill his relatives with tears.

The more I think about it, the more disdainful I become, Li Jiu, who killed a thousand knives, is so indiscriminate in order to calculate Naiweng. Mrs. Wei Helan, how can you be so ruthless when you share the same bed. Say sacrifice is sacrifice, you kid is really a cow, Nai Weng is willing to bow down. If any woman has a relationship with me, even if she falls out, I won't do harm.

You are scheming, the main target is me, and the secondary target is the samurai. You will take the opportunity to implicate and dispose of all the relatives of the martial arts. Wu Huaiyun Wu Weiliang, and even Haozhou Thorn History, Yuan Shuang, who did not enter Beijing, will also be unlucky.

Roughly sorting out the process, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked Li Chunfeng: "If the sage wants to kill me, all he needs is an edict, why bother so much?" With such a banquet in the palace, do you have to sacrifice your concubine, go around in a big circle, take off your pants and fart? ”

Chunfeng sneered, and the yin and yang weird spirit taught him: "General Zuo Fengchen, General Zuo Yulin, and General Zuo Rongwei are not just little bugs." After several years of military career, he has made countless achievements, how can he be easily killed? Without the corresponding charges, the charges cannot be convincing to the public, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will feel chilled. ”

It seems that there is some truth, Wu Kang was flattered, and at the same time secretly complained. Li Jiu put down this game, thinking that he was seamless, and the result was smiling and generous. Yan Guogong Yu Zhining, Guangping County Duke Liu Xiangdao, has long had insight into opportunities.

They even know that your overall plan, Chu Wei can't eat together, it is a perfect interpretation. The two of them reminded me not to sit with Helan anytime and anywhere. But what I did was even more desperate, swallowing poison with bitter meat, directly becoming a victim, and completely staying out of the matter.

Li Jiu, Li Jiu, miss this opportunity, don't think about repeating your old tricks. Li Chunfeng is right, kill me justifiably, unless it is a major crime of treason, I will not give you a chance. Intrigue with you, although it is dangerous, but it is also endlessly fun.

It's just that his wife and daughter are involved, and it is estimated that they will wash their faces with tears for the past two months. With Xiaoqing's persistence, if I report first, she will end up depressed. And my second girl, who has lost her mother, if she loses her father again, how will she live?

I can't help but feel sad from my heart and gather my mixed thoughts. Looking at Chunfeng again, Chen sincerely thanked: "Mr. has been caring for me for a long time and has saved my life several times. Wu Kang feels very much and wants to ask for advice, why help me? ”

Chunfeng was silent, and replied after a long time: "The teacher once commented that in July of the third year of Yonghui, my longevity was exhausted. If the stars appear in the daytime, Li Xing will be Wu Dynasty, and he can live for 18 more years. Because of the kindness, so try to repay the debt, this is right. ”

Wu Kang was dumbfounded, in July of the third year of Yonghui, when his soul pierced the Tang Dynasty. These words are mysterious and mysterious, am I so good that I can Wu Dai Li Xing? Eighteen more years to live, according to his meaning, the year 670 A.D., is the date of his death?

Feeling a little heavy, Wu Kang forced a smile: "You don't owe me anything, but I owe you a lot, please rest assured, sir, I will repay the debt of favors." Let's not talk about this first, the Wu brothers were detained and interrogated by Liu Renliang. Shangguan Yi called him a gentleman, and Mr. Liu Renliang thought how would he handle this case? ”

Chunfeng sneered even more, and took out a silver needle from the bag and stabbed him in the acupoint in the face. Soon it became a hedgehog, and after about two quarters of an hour, it was pulled out one by one. Putting away the silver needle sac, Yin Yang said angrily: "Change is a real villain, Ren Liang is a hypocrite, tell you a story." ”

The story was told quickly, and the evaluation of the old god stick hit the nail on the head. On the first day of last month, Ren Liang was promoted to the right minister, the governor of Zhongshu Province. In the past, when he was in trouble, the people who forced him to commit suicide supervised the imperial history Yuan and obeyed Wu Kang's arrangement. Relying on the relationship to find a way, I want to leave Xiantai and go elsewhere to be an official.

After some operation, the secretary of the young Changbo Li Anqi was awarded the title of Duan Yin Cheng, only waiting for the emperor's approval. Duan Yin is an official of the East Palace, originally the crown prince Zhan Shi, and changed his name to the crown prince Duan Yin. The supreme official of the East Palace, the leader of the three temples and the ten rates, the position is quite important. Wu Kang's right Chongye Wei is also under the jurisdiction of Duan Yin.

The so-called Duan Yin Cheng is Duan Yin's third-in-command, and his official rank is the sixth grade. is a soy sauce player, regardless of the position of authority, it is not as prominent as the imperial history. Public opinion was very loud, and the masses did not know the truth, and they all ridiculed Liu Renliang, saying that he excluded the different styles, and that he declared personal vendettas.

Liu Renliang was not happy, and in order to keep his reputation, he decisively wrote to the court. recommended Yuan Yishi, the doctor of Zhongtai Siyuan, is Hubu Langzhong. The official rank is from the five grades, in the words of later generations, the accounting director of the Ministry of Finance. Compared with Duan Yincheng, not only has a high status, but also has great authority.

With the approval of the imperial court, he took office in a different way, and the people who ate melons climaxed. all praised Liu Renliang, did not avoid revenge, and repaid the true gentleman with virtue. But there are also people who understand, supervising the imperial history Du Yijian, and said to Xu Jingzong: Liu Renliang's move is overkill.

If something is crooked and righted and then crooked to the other side, it is overkill. The metaphor corrects the error, beyond the limit of what should be. Wu Kang deeply thought that this was a political show, and he was not surprised, Ren Liang is a politician. With his shrewdness, this poisoning case will not be carefully investigated.

Li Zhi's intention is to use this incident to defeat all his relatives. Ren Liang knows it well, and he must be convicted of the crime and pat the emperor's ass. Wu Kang secretly said that it was a pity, Brother Huaiyun is only a good brother, you two brothers are unlucky. If Di Renjie presides over the trial, there may be variables, and if Liu Renliang presides over the trial, you will definitely die...
