"Okay, what Lan Yunjie said is right Chen Jiu, you hurry up and send someone to block the palace gate, don't be a god to guide the army, go to the imperial guards, and let General Sun send out those guards who are resting today, no one can go out, those who come in can go in, you personally go and pass the decree to General Sun."

After Chen Jiu left, the emperor was silent for a while after the dragon case and asked me: "Lan Yunjie, you are an outsider, you can see clearly, what person will do you say about this." ”

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen's guess, it is still the remnants of those people last time, it should be that they are unwilling to be arrested like this, and they dare not attack Mr. Chen, so they will do it to the cronies who have just been transferred by Mr. Chen, and what Wechen said is not comprehensive, and I ask for forgiveness."

"Very good, I also think they did it, the gold medal I gave you is still there, when you are fine, you will give me a secret investigation of this matter, to assist Chen Jiu to solve the case, I can't let the palace become like this, this is all the legacy left by the first emperor, excessive trust in eunuchs, causing them to be too big to lose, it seems that it is time to move them."

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry in this matter, prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, cook the frogs slowly, let them know it, and then make a surprise attack and beat them all."

"Oh, what is a slow-cooked frog, you tell me."

"Your Majesty, slow cooking frogs is to put the frogs in cold water, and then slowly burn them with fire below, so that the frogs are cooked unconsciously, and they don't know how to die until they die."

"So that's the case, it seems that I will have to go to the people more in the future, I still have time to go out for a walk when the first emperor was in the past, but now I don't even have a little time."

"Your Majesty, it's better to go out and have a look if you have a chance, what is said in the excerpt is different from reality."

"Okay, when these things are taken care of, I will go out with you, and you can take me to see how it is."

"Weichen is willing, but this guard must be arranged."

"What are you afraid of, it's Lang Lang Qiankun now, is there anyone who dares to attack me in the country and the people."

"That's not it, long live the lord, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and you are in danger of the safety of the society, how can you easily take risks, that's why Weichen said so."

The two eunuchs who went to the celebrant came and came to the emperor to report: "Long live the lord, the master of ceremonies Wang Qiang's father-in-law is sick and can't come, he asked me to tell the master of the ceremonies, what can I tell him." ”

"And this matter, what kind of illness is this Wang Qiang, even I can't invite him."

"Long live the Lord Qiyu, the slave went to see it, the prince was still fine in the morning, but he was sick in the afternoon, and now he is going to ask for a doctor, and he really can't come when he vomits and diarrhea while lying on the bed."

"Then forget it, what about you, is Feng Bao also sick."

The second eunuch who went to call Feng Bao looked at the emperor and asked, and hummed and chirped for a long time before answering: "Long live Lord Qiyu, then Gonggong Feng is indeed sick, and he vomits and diarrhea like Gonggong Wang Qiang, and he can't get up, so let me tell Long Live Lord that I have something to tell." ”

The emperor sneered and said: "What a coincidence, they are all the same disease, and I will see their bodies even if they die today." ”

The two little eunuchs went to give them the decree again, and the emperor didn't say anything more, just left the chair and walked around the main hall, pondering as he walked, and I didn't dare to talk and disturb, so I was silent for a long time, and there was no footsteps in the hall because of the thick carpet.

It wasn't until Chen Jiu came back that the emperor stopped, and Chen Jiu went up to report to the emperor: "Long live the lord, the palace gate has been arranged, and no one can run, what should I do next." ”

"You go and mobilize all the personnel of the East Factory, and search all the suspicious places for me, and it must be done before dark, if it gets dark, it will be difficult to do."

"Yes, the emperor's servant has gone."

"Okay, let's go, by the way, you will send an order to let the imperial doctors in the palace come to the Qianqing Palace and wait."

I watched the emperor send an edict to the imperial doctor, probably to see if Wang Qiang and Feng Bao's illness was real, if it was fake, the two of them would not be able to run away from the crime of bullying the king, anyway, it doesn't matter about me, I'll just wait to see the excitement.

After a stick of incense, Feng Bao and Wang Qiang have not yet come, but the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital came very quickly, and the first one was the Tai Hospital's chief Hu Tai Doctor, after a group of imperial doctors saluted the emperor, they got up and stood aside, looking at a bunch of half-old men standing there, I couldn't sit still on the stool, and I wanted to stand up for every reason, it was really like a feeling of sitting on pins and needles, just when I was uncomfortable, I reported outside, saying that Feng Bao was coming, and the emperor was coming.

After a while, Feng Bao entered the hall with the support of the two eunuchs, and saw that his face was dry and haggard, and he really looked sick, and even knelt down to salute the emperor and spread it on the ground, and the emperor was also unkind when he saw this, after all, Feng Bao was also an old man in his sixties, so he asked the little eunuch to move a princess chair for Feng Bao to sit in, Feng Bao sat opposite me, drooped his head and said weakly: "Your Majesty, the slave accidentally ate a bad stomach, delayed the emperor's errand, please punish the emperor." ”

The emperor didn't look angry just now, but when he saw Feng Bao like this, he softened his heart again, and said softly: "Feng Aiqing, I also know that you are not feeling well, so I asked the doctors from the Tai Hospital to come and show you where you are uncomfortable, and I also ask you about some things." ”

"Your Majesty, the slave is grateful for the great kindness of the Long Live Lord, and if there is anything to do with the Long Live Lord, the slave will definitely do it."

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it after the imperial doctor diagnoses you, I also called Wang Qiang to come over, Wang Qiang heard that he is also sick, let's show you a piece, Imperial Doctor Hu, you can show Gonggong Feng first."

Imperial Physician Hu came to Feng Bao's chair, looked at Feng Bao first, then assessed Feng Bao's pulse, and asked, "Did Gonggong Feng eat something unclean, and went to the toilet a lot of times?" ”

Feng Bao replied weakly: "Yes, I've been to the toilet five or six times since noon, not only did I pull but also vomited, which didn't make me vomit so much that I couldn't walk." ”

Imperial Physician Hu turned around and knelt down in front of the emperor and said: "Long live Lord Qiyu, Gonggong Feng ate poisonous food, so he vomited and diarrhea, but Weichen showed Gonggong Feng, there is no worry about his life, just a temporary uncomfortable point, and he will be fine tomorrow." ”

"Okay, Imperial Doctor Hu, you can step aside first."

Imperial Physician Hu retreated to the ranks of those imperial physicians and stood up, and the emperor asked: "Gonggong Feng, how could you be poisoned, you are also an old man in this palace, who dares to touch you." ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave has always been loyal to the emperor, of course, there are more people who have offended, and it is normal to be poisoned, but this kind of indiscriminate means is too inauthentic, so that the old slave can find out, he must be plucked."

The emperor didn't speak, probably because he was suspicious, this is too coincidental, it was when the person disappeared, he fell ill, was he shirking his responsibility or trying to use his illness to avoid something.

After a moment of silence, the eunuch outside came in to report, Wang Qiang also arrived, and after passing it in, Wang Qiang's rhetoric was the same as Feng Bao's, and he was accidentally poisoned, and the symptoms were the same as Feng Bao's, and Imperial Doctor Hu said the same thing when he saw it.

The emperor looked at the two of them and said to the imperial doctors, "Okay, you guys go down." ”

More than a dozen imperial doctors withdrew from the main hall under the leadership of Imperial Doctor Hu, and just now they were looking at the very lively hall, and it was suddenly a lot quieter, and the emperor knew that some things needed to be kept secret, so he let the imperial doctors leave, and several eunuchs and palace maids were also sent out.

There are only a few of us left in the main hall, and of course the imperial guards can't leave the emperor's side.

The first to speak was the emperor: "Did the two fathers-in-law eat together at noon, is there anyone else who is poisoned?" ”

Wang Qiang didn't speak, Feng Bao said: "At noon, I ate with Wang Qiang's father-in-law, and the others were not poisonous, it seems that it was aimed at the two of us." ”

"There is another thing I want to tell you, the people who Chen Jiu transferred to Dongchang from outside, and the chief eunuch in the princess's palace, are all missing today, and it is said that they have not come back after being summoned to the celebrant eunuch, is there such a thing, do you two know?"

Feng Bao squinted and listened to the emperor's words, looking very tired, after the emperor finished speaking, he didn't answer, Wang Qiang on the side said: "Long live Lord Qiyu, we know about this, because the princess went to look for us, but we didn't send anyone to call them, and we didn't see them come to the celebrant eunuch, besides, there are so many celebrant eunuchs, everyone will see them when they come." ”

I'm an observer now, and I can't talk much, so I sit on a stool and stare at the two of them to see how they perform.

"You two are the old men in the palace, and they are also the highest official positions, Feng Aiqing has also been in charge of Dongchang for many years, and now this kind of thing has happened in the palace, tell me who did it, who is so bold and dares to do anything wrong in my palace, and whether my safety is still guaranteed."

The emperor's words were very harsh, which contained the meaning of reproach and anger.

Feng Bao opened his half-squinted eyes and said: "Long live Lord, although the minister has been in charge of the East Factory for many years, he has always been on the side of the celebrant supervisor, and it has always been my apprentice who is in charge over there, and I don't care much about the affairs over there. ”

Although Feng Bao's words were not hurried or slow, they sounded like they were justifying, but they were actually serving the emperor's army, which means, why are you asking me now, Dongchang is already Chen Jiu's, you should ask Chen Jiu, the emperor looked at Feng Bao, didn't say anything, the four of us monarchs and ministers fell into silence again, Feng Bao squinted, Wang Qiang lowered his head, the emperor was sitting on the dragon case and pondering something, I don't have a lot to do with this matter, although I reported it, but that little noble son is not my relative or my subordinate, speaking of which, I'm such an outsider.
