Chapter 66: The Dying
"Shuogong, Your Majesty will pass you in." Just when Qian Shuo was anxious, a small yellow door hurriedly came out of the palace and bowed to Qian Shuo.
Qian Shuo's face was overjoyed when he heard this, which meant that Liu Hong had come to his senses, and hurriedly took a quick step towards the palace.
In Changle Palace, Liu Hong was lying on his side on the dragon couch, obviously still full of energy during the day, but at this moment he looked sallow, his eyes were blank, and there was a faint twilight.
"How could Your Majesty be like this!?" Qian Shuo looked at Liu Hong in disbelief, Liu Hong at this moment is like a person who is in the age of a tiger and wolf, and he is clearly a dying old man, even if Liu Hong is weak before, he will not be like this.
The imperial physician beside him was a young doctor, only about thirty years old, but he was recommended to the Tai Hospital at such a young age, and his ability was nothing to say, so he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty's body is already weak and lacking vitality, so you should have carefully recuperated and slowly recovered your vitality, but recently, you have often taken cold food powder, although this thing can stimulate your potential in a short time, but taking it for a long time will only make Your Majesty's vitality disperse faster." ”
"You mean, it's this cold food that has made Your Majesty here?" Qian Shuo looked at the young imperial doctor and frowned.
"No, the cold food is only to speed up the dissipation of vitality, but it will take some time, and those who often take cold food powder, the skin is as smooth as white jade, that is, the vitality is exhausted, and the appearance will not be greatly changed, and at this time, Your Majesty has the appearance of the five decays of heaven and man, and it is definitely not caused by cold food and powder, and the minister guessed ......" The young imperial doctor said this, a little hesitant.
"Jiping, say it quickly! Why is Your Majesty here? Qian Shuo only felt a cool breath in his heart rushing up, although Ji Ping didn't say it, but the meaning was already obvious, Liu Hong became like this, in addition to his own weakness and the reason for the cold food, there were other reasons, just what reason, Qian Shuo didn't dare to think about it.
"Yes." Ji Ping pondered for a moment and said: "At first, the lower officials thought that His Majesty was poisoned, and he had just asked His Majesty's attendants, the drugs used by His Majesty, the daily meals, have been tested, if it is poisonous, it should not be only His Majesty who has something to do and others who are fine, and although His Majesty's pulse is weak, there is no poisoning, so the lower officials inquired about what His Majesty eats every day, and found that in addition to the cold food powder, His Majesty will also consume a medicine that the lower officials have never seen." ”
"Is it something that harms His Majesty?" Qian Shuo's eyes froze, and he asked in a deep voice.
"It should be." Ji Ping nodded and said: "This thing has no toxicity, if it is eaten alone, it is even beneficial to the body, and has the effect of activating the meridians, but if it is supplemented by cold food powder, it will speed up the effect of cold food powder, so that the medicinal effect of cold food powder will be strengthened several times, and accelerate the depletion of Your Majesty's vitality, but because this thing was discovered too late, Your Majesty is now in the state of five decays of heaven and man." ”
"Then ......" Qian Shuo swallowed his saliva, looked at Ji Ping, and said with expectation in his eyes: "Since you know that this thing is responsible for it, is there a way to save Your Majesty?" ”
"Your Majesty is now in the state of running out of oil and lamps, the vitality is almost exhausted, the medicine stone is ineffective, the courtier's medical skills are not refined, and he has no power to return to heaven." Ji Ping said in a deep voice.
"How so?" Qian Shuo's body shook, looked at Liu Hong on the dragon couch in a daze, suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Ping, and said angrily: "It must be you, a quack doctor, who colluded with those families to murder Your Majesty, I will kill you!" ”
"Doctors, the first priority is medical ethics." Ji Ping said indifferently: "Don't say that your majesty is in front of you, that is, the pawn of the peddler, if you are in front of Ping, your subordinates will never see death and not save it, if the general doesn't believe it, you can kill the lower officials!" ”
"Don't you dare?" As soon as Qian Shuo pulled out his sword, he was about to stab it.
"Shuo, stop!" Liu Hong, who was on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and moved his arms, but he was unable to lift them, so he could only say in a weak voice.
"Your Majesty?" Qian Shuo hurriedly threw down his sword, knelt down beside Liu Hong, and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this quack doctor's nonsense, there are countless famous doctors in the Tai Hospital, this person is just a new Tai Doctor, and his ability is limited, so the slave will go to pass on other Tai Doctors." ”
"No need." Liu Hong shook his head weakly, looked at Ji Ping and said, "If you had spoken like this a day ago, I would have killed you!" ”
Jihei bowed and did not speak.
Liu Hong sighed, looked at the direction on the top of the bed, and muttered: "But now, I suddenly figured out that when I am an emperor, if there are a few more courtiers like you who can tell the truth, the country can be stable." ”
"He's right, I'm at my limit!" Liu Hong looked at Ji Ping and said, "You go." ”
"Oh, the minister is leaving!" Ji Ping bowed and withdrew from Changle Palace.
Qian Shuo also reacted, and hurriedly dismissed the surrounding palace ladies and eunuchs.
"I ...... No more. Liu Hong looked at Qian Shuo and said in a deep voice: "There are two things, you go to help me do it, if this thing is not successful, my Han country will not be protected, and under my nine springs, I will not have the shame to see my Han Dynasty Emperor." ”
"Your Majesty, don't say that." Qian Shuo hurriedly knelt in front of Liu Hong: "What do you command, the slave and maid will never give up." ”
"At this time, I realized that you are the only one who can really use usable around me!" Liu Hong smiled bitterly, took Qian Shuo's hand and said: "At the head of my bed, there are two edicts, one is the edict of the emperor, and the other is the edict of the emperor. ”
"Your Majesty, ...... you" Qian Shuo raised his head and looked at Liu Hong incredulously, to make sure that he was mistaken, as Liu Hong's close minister, he knew very well that Liu Hong had always favored Liu Xie, and he also intended to make Liu Xie the heir, how could he make Liu Wei the emperor instead?
"Standing up for the emperor, then no matter how stupid the butcher is, he should know that it is more beneficial for him to support the debate, if he is the emperor, this great Han country, I am afraid that it will be completely dispersed." Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and said weakly: "As for the ...... The argument is pure and good-natured, and has a benevolent heart, and when it will leave the association alive, this is not necessarily a bad thing for the association, this big Han country, I have not been able to completely hand it over to them, they ...... I'm afraid I can't bear it, in this case, as a brother, let him bear all this. ”
"Huh~" Qian Shuo took a deep breath and bowed.
"The second thing, help me kill Ye Zhao!" Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intent.
"Your Majesty!?" Qian Shuo's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "The Marquis of Yuting is a loyal minister!" Why did Your Majesty ......?"
"Loyalist?" Liu Hong shook his head and sneered: "I used to think so, but it wasn't until I was exhausted that I looked back on the past and found that the Han Dynasty had come to this point today was simply secretly pushed by him!" ”
Qian Shuo was speechless, Liu Hong's words subverted all his previous concepts, after all, Ye Zhao has always given people the impression of being a loyal minister, absolutely loyal to Liu Hong, how come at this moment, he has become a traitor, Qian Shuo feels that his brain is not enough.
"This man is ambitious, but he is very good at disguise, and he deliberately handed over the printing technique to me!" Liu Hong said in a deep voice.
"Didn't Your Majesty say that this thing is beneficial for a thousand years?" Qian Shuo wondered.
"It's a good thing, but it's a pity that for my big man, it's a deadly poison." Liu Hong's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said: "Previously, the imperial doctor said that my body is weak and my vitality is weak, and it is not suitable to be treated with fierce medicine, I thought at that time, this great Han Jiangshan is similar to my body, and that printing technique is the fierce medicine, no matter how good, it is the poison that caused my Han to fall apart, with Ye Zhao's wisdom and far-sightedness, how could he not see it, but he tried his best to promote this matter!" I don't care at all whether my Han Jiangshan can withstand it, but unfortunately, I couldn't see through its poisonous plot early! ”
"That Muye rescues ......" Qian Shuo looked at Liu Hong and lost his mind.
"If I died at that time, even if Ye Zhao broke through, then Wang Fen and the others succeeded in rebelling, and he was not in a good position, even if it was not a capital crime, it would be difficult to turn over, and he naturally didn't want me to die!" Liu Hong said hesitantly: "It's a pity that I mistook him for a loyal minister, not only married Wei'er to him, but also gave him the momentum of today, this person's ambition is far from ordinary, not only has the ambition of a hero, but also has the ambition of seeking eternity, let me help him promote printing, let me help him face the revenge of the world's family, and he is shown to the world as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, his heart is ...... Be punished! ”
Qian Shuo only heard chills all over his body, and at the same time hesitated in his heart, after all, it is not easy to kill Ye Zhao, now in this Luoyang City, almost all of them are Ye Zhao's soldiers and horses, and Ye Zhao is cautious, and he can lead troops, and he is surrounded by tigers and wolves.
As if seeing Qian Shuo's hesitation, Liu Hong said in a low voice: "You can send someone to secretly order Ye Zhao to enter the palace, just say that I want to see him, at this time Ye Zhao should be defenseless, you have more armor soldiers in Changle Palace, once Ye Zhao appears, shoot him with crossbow arrows!" ”
Taking a breath, Liu Hong looked at Qian Shuo and said, "If you can't do anything, you can bring this edict and hand it over to the butcher, and he will protect you!" ”
"That scholar ......" Qian Shuo looked at Liu Hong, although what Liu Hong said was reasonable, but Liu Hong's body was like this today, but it was the scholar who planned it.
"As if this incident has never happened, that Jiping is not like a talkative person, you send someone to tell him not to talk much, I think that after those scholars understand my intentions, they will also choose to calm things and defend themselves!" Liu Hong sighed.
Hate?
Of course hate, but at this time his life is about to end, even if he kills all the scholars, it will not help, and the road left for Liu Wei will only be more difficult to walk, it is better to take this opportunity to transfer the contradiction to Ye Zhao, let Liu Wei and He Jin and the scholars stand aside and deal with Ye Zhao together, although Liu Wei may be set aside, but at least this world is still the world of his Liu family, as for more, he can't control it.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Shuo nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave will do it." ”
When Liu Hong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyelids drooped again, and he said so many words in a row, which made him even weaker, but he couldn't die now, at this moment, he noticed Ye Zhao's hidden ambition, Ye Zhao didn't die, and Liu Hong couldn't feel at ease.
