Pinjing made Goo Dong kneel down and kowtow! "After the big one, Weichen doesn't know, the medicine is not old... Jing's is not a re-examination of Weichen

"Who is it?" The Queen Mother snapped.

"The signature on the paper package should be the medicine that Huang Jinmu was caught by the court, and the court sentenced Hu Xu to the concubine."

The Empress Dowager turned her head to Jiao Gong and said, "Libei sent someone to bring these two people to the mourning family!" ”

Father-in-law Jiao agreed, and hurried out of the lobby with a team of thugs.

In the lobby, the queen mother sat there with a cold face, although she saw the fat pig poisoned by cinnabar and died, she was puzzled and looked at Du Wenhao: "Du Aiqing, why can cinnabar be poisoned?" ”

The ancients have always believed that cinnabar is non-toxic, that is because cinnabar is different from arsenic, the poisoning amount is relatively large, and the lethal amount is greater, and the amount of medicinal cinnabar is generally not lethal. Therefore, cinnabar poisoning is very rare, so there is a lack of understanding of the toxicity of cinnabar, and cinnabar is mostly chronic poisoning, such as some emperors who seek immortality, take pills containing cinnabar and are chronically poisoned.

Du Wenhao had already figured out how to explain this problem, and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the so-called medicine is three parts poisonous, any kind of drug is actually poisonous, it depends on the dose of a single dose, if the dose is in the normal range, even the highly toxic arsenic is also a medicine." For example, there is arsenic cream cream in Shenghuifang, which can treat the sores of carrion that does not come off, and the purple gold pill made of arsenic can also treat cold phlegm and asthma. But if you take it in dose, even a high-grade drug like cinnabar is just as toxic. Another example is the commonly used medicinal material "Radix Radix" is a common medicine for the treatment of external heat and temperature disease, and there has never been a medical book in the past that indicates that Radix Radix is toxic, but if it is used in large doses, it will also die. Wechen has also encountered such cases in his previous medical practice. Another example is "Aoki incense" can treat abdominal pain, and medical books record that it is non-toxic, but it is often encountered in cases of death by taking large doses. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, she can take advantage of this time to try again! ”

The Empress Dowager said: "I believe your words, and you don't have to try." ”

Du Wenhao bowed and arched his hand: "Thank you to the Queen Mother, the emperor takes cinnabar, and there is an even more harmful one, that is, the emperor's illness." The emperor's illness is called kidney failure, that is, there is a problem with the kidneys, and the direct consequence of taking a large dose of cinnabar is to greatly aggravate the degree of this failure, which will cause acute kidney failure and death. Therefore, such a large dose of cinnabar is tantamount to arsenic for the emperor! ”

The Queen Mother nodded slowly: "The mourning family understands." This matter must be investigated! The mourning family has its own judgment! ”

"Yes!" Du Wenxuan was secretly happy in his heart, he had always suspected that King Yong was playing tricks in this, and now it seems that more and more signs can prove this. As long as the queen mother has this attitude, she is not afraid that King Yong can still ascend the throne.

After a while, Huang Jinmu and Hu Xu, the judges of the Imperial Medicine Academy, were brought, and when they saw the medicine bag spread out on the table, as well as the dead pig on the ground, both of them were startled, turned over and knelt down to kowtow.

The Empress Dowager asked coldly: "The medicine on this table, but you prepared it for re-examination?" ”

Father-in-law Jiao stepped forward and brought the medicine to the ground in front of them. After the two looked at it, they kowtowed and replied yes.

The Empress Dowager said sharply: "Shi Caiwai used the same amount of cinnabar as the medicine you caught, and fed this pig, but the pig was poisoned and died, let's say, what's going on?" ”

The two were stunned, kowtowed, and said: "The queen mother spares her life!" This is all ordered by King Yong to be done by Weichen. ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said sharply: "What's going on?" Recruit from the truth! Otherwise, the mourning family will execute the two of you Ling Chi and behead all the door! ”

The two of them were so frightened that their souls scattered, and Huang Jinmu trembled and said, "Weichen is willing to recruit!" Before the emperor's death"

"Wait!" Du Wenhao interrupted him and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the two of them should be interrogated separately, make a record, and then compare the confessions to know the truth and falsehood." ”

The Empress Dowager suddenly ordered Hu Xu to be taken down for trial. Huang Jinmu was examined first.

Huang Jinmu kowtowed and said: "Three days before the emperor died, Prince Yong came to the imperial pharmacy and asked the two of us to call aside, saying that the emperor was not in good spirits today. needed to recuperate, and he had already consulted Zheng Gu, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and said that he could increase the dose of cinnabar in the emperor's prescription.

The two of us were a little embarrassed, saying that they could only catch the medicine according to the dosage on the prescription, and Prince Yong said that this was to make the emperor prolong his life, and he was responsible for what happened, so let me do what he said. In total, cinnabar is a high-grade elixir, not only non-toxic. And it does have a longevity effect, and there is nothing wrong with increasing the dose. I agreed,"

The Queen Mother said sharply: "If you don't catch the medicine according to the prescription, what should be the crime, do you know?" ”

Huang Jinmu crawled on the ground and cried: "On the crime" on the crime should be beheaded, "Weichen should die, but this is all the order of King Yong, and Weichen does not dare to disobey, he is confused for a while, and begs the Queen Mother to spare his life!" ”

Du Wenhao interjected: "The medicine on the day of the emperor's death is far larger than the dose of the previous three days, what is going on?" ”

Huang Jinmu said: "The day before the emperor died, Prince Yong came to me again, saying that the emperor was still feeling bad and asked me to increase the dose. We didn't think much of it, and we did it. On the second day, we learned that the emperor had died, and we were also worried about the pill that the emperor was taking, so we asked King Yong. Lord Yong asked me if I had ever heard of cinnabar eating the dead? Of course, the two of us shook our heads, and King Yong comforted that this matter was a coincidence, the emperor was a violent illness, and it had nothing to do with our medicine, so we didn't have to worry, and we didn't go outside to talk about it. ”※

The Empress Dowager ordered Huang Jinmu to be taken down and Hu Xu to be brought up for interrogation, which was completely consistent with Huang Jinmu.

The Empress Dowager ordered the two to be sent to prison. Jiaotong Dali Temple asked for guilt. He was dismissed from all his posts as the envoy of the Imperial Medicine Academy, and was demoted to a commoner. Then he took all the medicine bags and drove back to the palace.

Back in the dormitory, the Queen Mother called Du Wenhao into the house, retreated left and right, and burst into tears: "Wenhao, what should I do,,? ”

The queen mother didn't expect that this matter would find out such a result, her second son killed the eldest son who was the emperor with poison that was not poisonous. This is an unacceptable fact for any mother.

This result actually made Du Wenhao smile secretly in his stomach, but his face was also very sympathetic: "You don't have to be too sad to treat alcohol." Maybe King Yong didn't know that a large dose of cinnabar could kill people. He may have had some good intentions too. ”

When the queen mother heard this, she said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, yes! Thankfully, you reminded me that this is possible! Po'er is kind-hearted, he will never do this kind of thing to kill his brother and seize the throne, he must be mistaken, or misheard people's words! Yes, yes, I will immediately send someone to call Yan'er, and I will know as soon as I ask!" ”

"Wait! Wine. Du Wenhao hurriedly grabbed her hand.

"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Do you really want to find out the truth, or do you want to exonerate King Yong?"

"Naturally, we have to find out the truth!"

"Then you can't ask that."

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Du Wenhao's words, nodded and said: "That's right, if you ask Yan'er directly, maybe Frequently Er will shirk responsibility, you can't ask the real situation, and the result is not credible, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Du Wenhao said slowly: "There is one way, but you have to take some risks." ”

"Well, you can talk about it first."

"Have you heard the story of Kou Zhun interrogating Pan Renmei at night?"

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment: "Kou Zhun, Kou Pingzhong?" Prime Minister of Emperor Taizong? ”

"yes."

I know this, but Pan Renmei has never heard of it. Who is it? ”

Du Wenhao was stunned for a moment, Pan Renmei was such a traitor in the Northern Song Dynasty, how could she, as the queen mother, not know about it? I have watched a lot of stories, storytelling, and TV series of Yang Jiajiang, especially the storytelling of Yang Jiajiang, Du Wenhao is even more familiar, and said at the moment: "Pan Renmei is the master of Song Taizong, the uncle of Emperor Taizong, and his daughter Pan Surong is Emperor Taizong's Xigong Niangniang!" ”

"Emperor Taizong's Xigong Niangniang?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, as the Empress Dowager, she was very familiar with the royal family genealogy, and thought about it carefully, "Emperor Taizong has had four empresses, namely Empress Yin, Empress Fu, Empress Li and Concubine Li Xian. Concubine Li Xian was posthumously posthumous. There are only concubines Wang Defei, and there are no concubines surnamed Pan. ”

"Really?" Du Wenhao was a little dumbfounded, and after thinking about it, he understood that the story of the Yang family was changed through artistic processing, and many of the stories were fictional, which was very different from the real events in history, and this Pan Renmei may be the same, maybe it was shaped by someone in history as the prototype. So I didn't know the number, so I smiled and said: "This" hehe, I also read it from the Romance of Wild History, it may not be accurate. ”

The Empress Dowager only wanted to know how to find out whether her second son, Yongwang Zhao Yan, had poisoned her eldest son, Song Shenzong. didn't delve into it, nodded and said, "That's it, then you can continue to tell this story." ”

Du Wenhao's eyebrows flew and he said: "Emperor Taizong's favorite general, Yang Lao Linggong Yang Jiye, martial arts, brave and strategic. There are a total of eight sons under his knees, known as the Seven Lang and Eight Tigers, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, loyal and sincere. The treacherous and cunning Taishi Pan Renmei, who plotted against the Great Song Dynasty, connived at his son Pan Bao to set up a ring to seize the handsome seal, and was hacked to death by Yang Jiye's son Yang Qilang in the ring, and the two families formed a grudge. Later, Emperor Taizong was trapped in Youzhou City, and the Yang family saved the monarch from Youzhou and fought a bloody battle on the golden beach

The Empress Dowager said curiously: "Has Emperor Taizong been trapped in Youzhou?" How did I not know? ”

"Hehe, I said it all, this is a story in the history of the wild, and I can't do it accurately."

"Oh, go on."

"The Yang family will fight in the golden beach, Yang Jiye's soldiers are trapped in Li Lingbei, Yang Qilang fought out of the siege and moved down the mountain to move troops, as a marshal, Pan Renmei not only did not rescue the soldiers, but took the opportunity to take revenge, caught Yang Qilang with a trick, tied him to the flagpole, and shot him to death with ten thousand arrows. Yang Lao Linggong did not want to be captured and humiliated, so he crashed to death in front of Li Lingbei. In the battle of Golden Beach, the Yang family died all over the house, and in the end, only Liulang Yang Yanzhao remained

"Wait, I heard you tell this story, it seems to be Emperor Taizong's Yang Ye. Yang Ye's son is called Yang Yanzhao. ”

"That's right! Yang Ye, Yang Jiye, almost, by the way, does the Yang family have any descendants? ”

"If it's really the general Yang Ye, then there is. Tianbo Yang Mansion is not far behind the Imperial Palace. ”

Du Wenhao said happily: "Is Yang Liulang still there?" ”

"You're talking about Yang Yanzhao, it's long gone, and after his death, he will accompany Emperor Yingzong to the funeral of Yonghou Mausoleum." ”

Only then did Du Wenhao understand that after Yang Yanzhao's death, he was buried in the emperor's mausoleum by Sheng'en, and he was buried in the mausoleum of Song Yingzong, the husband of the empress dowager. He asked again, "What about his son Yang Zongbao?" ”

"Yang Zongbao?" The Queen Mother was surprised. "I heard that Yang Yanzhao has three sons, the youngest one is named Yang Wenguang, but I haven't heard of Yang Zongbao. But Yang Wenguang is also dead, almost dead"

"Then who else will the Yang family have?"

The story of the Yang generals was popular after the Ming Dynasty, but the Yang generals in the Song Dynasty were far less famous than in modern times. The Empress Dowager didn't know very well, and shook her head: "When these eyes are done, you can visit Tianbo Yang Mansion, don't you know?" Let's talk about Pan Renmei in the middle of the night first

"Yes, yes! Later, Yang Yanzhao was sad and angry, and went to the Golden Palace to sue Pan Renmei for personal vendettas, but Pan Renmei was cunning and refused to confess. The emperor asked Yu Shi Kou to try the case. The Eight Sages Zhao Defang and Kou Zhun set up a plan, assuming that Zhao Defang, the Eight Sages of the Yin Cao Prefecture, pretended to be the Lord of Yama and pretended to be a judge, and interrogated Pan Renmei at night. Pan Renmei was taken to the Yama Hall in the darkness and didn't know whether it was a fraud, and in a trance, she went to the Netherworld as if it was true, and finally she was frightened and afraid, so she confessed the truth, and was finally killed. Hey hey"

The Empress Dowager was stunned and said, "You mean, we also set up a netherworld to try Yan'er?"

"Hmmm! Let's also set up a netherworld mansion, so that King Yong can see the emperor of the underworld. As the saying goes, "Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" If King Yong hadn't poisoned the emperor, he wouldn't be afraid to see the emperor, if he really did it, he would definitely be scared half to death, and at that time, if someone pretended to be the king of Yama for such a trial, he would definitely tell the truth. ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a long time, and nodded slowly: "This is a good idea." Then do it! You can arrange it! However, we must hurry up, and find out this matter before the fifth watch, so as not to delay the funeral at dawn tomorrow. ”

"Okay!" Du Wenhao hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "However," I was worried about one thing

"What's the matter?"

"If King Yong really murdered the emperor, then" Once he sees the emperor of the Netherworld, he may be scared crazy, you have to be mentally prepared for this, lest King Yong be scared crazy, and you will blame me

The queen mother's expression was gloomy, she very much hoped that the result would prove that the second son Yongwang Zhao Ying did not murder the eldest son Song Shenzong, but she combined the situation of the eldest son Song Shenzong when he died and the results of the previous investigation, she knew very well in her heart that the eldest son Song Shenzong was poisoned to death by the second son Zhao Yan. Hearing Du Wenhao's words, he couldn't help crying: "Don't worry, I won't blame you." If Ying'er really murdered his imperial brother, then he "went crazy because of this, and he was also to blame." He usurped a certain dynasty, killed the emperor's brother, and deserved to die for his crimes, just crazy, and he was already very cheap

"That's good!" Du Wenhao whispered his plan in the ear of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother listened to it and nodded slowly: "Okay, just do as you say." Right away! ”

Zhao Yan, the king of Yong, rode a sedan chair, followed the queen mother out of the palace, and walked forward on the quiet street. After the death of the emperor and the empress dowager, there was a curfew in the whole city during the whole funeral period, so the streets were very quiet, and occasionally a few dog barks could be heard.

King Yong didn't know where he was going, and the queen mother didn't tell him, he wanted to pick up the sedan curtain to take a look, but the sedan curtain was locked from the outside. I can only follow in a muffled voice.

After a long while, the sedan chair finally stopped. Then, someone outside said: "Lord Wang, it's here, you can get off the sedan chair." "The sound of the urn is angry. I want to be in the jar.

King Yong waited for a while, but no one helped him pick the sedan curtain, so he had to pull the sedan curtain himself, and now it has been unfastened.

He lifted the sedan curtain, got off the sedan chair, and looked up, it seemed to be a house, very barren, but I don't know whose house, and then the hazy moonlight, I could see a bend in the lake not far away, reflecting the moonlight, out of a faint silver light. On the surface of the lake, you can see flat bubbles that gurgle like boiling water.

His palanquin stopped right on the edge of the lake. The man carrying the sedan chair is gone. The queen mother's palanquin was also gone. There was no one around.

King Yong was a little scared, he felt a flutter on his body, and suddenly, he heard a voice behind him, it was the sound of footsteps, clicking.

Turning his head sharply, he saw a man standing not far away, a man in a yellow robe, to be precise, and when the man saw him turn around, he stood still.

"Who is it?" King Yong pretended to be bold and asked.

The other party did not answer, just stood there motionless.

He looked down and saw that the person was wearing a golden dragon yellow robe! And with the crown! At this time, the emperor's dress, who is so bold and dares to wear a yellow robe? He wanted to ask loudly, but suddenly felt that the man's eyes were very familiar, very familiar. However, the mouth is gone, and it has become a big hole in a black hole!

At this moment, King Yong heard a voice behind him, a fluttering noise, he turned his head sharply, and saw two black and white figures floating in the air, with very long robes, all the way to the lake.

looked at it again, but now that the two of them were blue-faced fangs, dragging their long tongues, holding a mourning stick, and sneering at him, is this the legendary black and white impermanence?

King Yong was frightened, knocked a few steps back, hit something in a panic, and turned back sharply, and now the yellow-robed man had arrived behind him at some point, raised his eyes, and frightened him into a dissipation

It turned out to be the Emperor Brother of the Divine Sect who had died!

This scared him so much that he fell to the ground, trying to get up and run, but his hands and feet were already stiff with fright, where could he still move? Seeing that Song Shenzong was fluttering over, a voice was floating far and near: "Give me back my life!" Give me back my life"! ”
