"Has the Emperor rested?"

Yang Jian quietly approached the Baoci Palace. Although he was asking, he had already come to a positive conclusion.

Otherwise, the palace would not be so quiet.

"It's resting." The imperial physician on duty at the Baoci Palace replied, "The Empress Dowager drank the medicinal soup and fell asleep. ”

The Imperial Doctor's face had several long blood marks, which could be seen as fingernail marks, the longest of which dragged from the left forehead to the right jaw, turning a fairly good-looking face into a fierce and vicious bandit.

"Good work." Yang Jian said sincerely.

Unlike those who were found guilty of betraying the party, the Empress Dowager would not, let alone be punished, no matter what she did.

Parents don't have to be sentenced to prison for killing their children, and they don't even have to give reasons, and the drowning of babies has never been burned in every state and county in the world. And if a child kills his father or mother, or even deliberately beats his parents, after reporting to the official, there is basically only one sentence of death.

Although the Empress Dowager has been placed under house arrest in the Baoci Palace and has committed the felony of rebellion, if she suffers any physical harm, the criminal law and public opinion will still be on her side. The chamberlain, the palace maids, and the imperial physician who were in charge of her were all tied down because of this, and they would inevitably suffer some injuries.

"It can't be helped." The imperial doctor sighed, "The Empress Dowager has a big temper today. ”

'Just a little bigger?' ’

Yang Jian looked around, and more than half of the palace maids and chamberlains had varying degrees of damage and injuries on their faces and bodies.

However, they will not beg Gao Tao to be decent like Wang Zhongzheng, and can only beat and scold him, but the thoughts in their hearts are the same.

The Empress Dowager does not have the appearance of the Empress Dowager, and she is like an old shrew.

Whether it is to learn to sprinkle when she is old, or whether the shrew has become old, in fact, the palace has long been decided.

'Sacred and strict' is already the most benign and euphemistic evaluation of Gao Tao. Empress Cishengguangxian, who raised her with her own hands, said that she would be pushed back with a word.

But no matter how big his temper was before, he could still say Yan Yi, but he was in a commotion for a while, and his image was gone. Anyway, I grew up in the palace, and I scolded and beat people on the street like a woman in the market. I also injured several of them.

Thankfully, it was late. ’

Yang Jian secretly thought about his luck and quietly walked into the inner compartment. Probably stepping on the broken porcelain on the ground, the soles of his feet creaked.

The Empress Dowager's bed did not hang down the tent, and she could directly see her every move.

The palace maids and chamberlains who served the Empress Dowager were all just sent, and they all looked nervous, standing solemnly in the corner, and they didn't dare to come out.

The air in the room tightened as a result. There is also a strange scent in the air.

Yang Jian sniffed, turned around and asked, "This is the medicine for the Empress Dowager?" What does it taste like? ”

"It's the medicine that the Queen Mother just gave to drink. It's the smell of opium. ”

"Opioids as the main drug?" Yang Jian doesn't know how to use medicine, but he has worked in the Imperial Pharmacy, although the Imperial Pharmacy in the palace is not simply an institution in charge of the use of medicine in the palace, but this is also one of the responsibilities, Yang Jian has a little common sense about medicinal materials, "Will it hinder the body?" ”

"It's just going to make you fall asleep quickly."

Yang Jian nodded, that is, the amount of stool is poisonous.

But it doesn't hurt, there are a lot of poisonous herbs, and the amount is controlled. At least in the near future, the Empress Dowager must be kept alive.

Walking to the side of the bed, Gao Tao was lying on the bed with his hair scattered, sleeping deeply.

'It's been a long time. Yang Jian thought hatefully.

Yang Jian was kicked out of Funing Palace because of this old woman before. However, Seon is not blessed, and this fall is a lucky thing for him.

After leaving Funing Palace, he did not run into the public case of the accidental death of the first emperor. According to Yang Jian's knowledge, all the acquaintances who were in the Funing Palace at that time were driven out of the imperial city, and it is said that they were imprisoned in the temple of the building, but it is also said that those people were all secretly executed.

And even more fortunate that he avoided the rebellion this time. Most of the Huangmen in the palace with official grades were held hostage by the rebels in this rebellion, either rebellious or dead. Most of them obeyed, and the few who refused to submit were all executed—except for Wang Zhongzheng, who was too high-ranking to be the exception. But as the Zaifu set things right, the rebellious eunuchs were all imprisoned, and what awaited them was either death or worse than death.

After this incident, hundreds of eunuchs above the Yellow Gate in the palace were almost swept away in one day today. And Yang Jian, because he was kicked into the cold yamen in the palace early, was left behind by the rebels. Didn't even think of pulling him in. And by the time the rebellion ended, there were less than ten internal attendants in the palace who still had official bodies like Yang Jian.

Although Yang Jian had made some mistakes before, this name was still left in the heart of the Empress Dowager Xiang. After Song Yongchen, Shi Deyi, and the two of their henchmen were all wiped out, Yang Jian was reactivated, and he could do something more or less.

After carefully observing for a while, seeing that the Empress Dowager's breathing was as smooth as ever, Yang Jian confirmed the judgment of the imperial doctor.

Turning back to the imperial doctor, who followed him, he asked, "How long will the effects of opioids last?" ”

"It depends on the situation of each person, and there are some minor and some serious. It depends on the amount of medicine and the person's body. The imperial doctor frowned and thought for a while, "This is the first time the Empress Dowager has drunk medicinal soup, and it is not clear how long it will last." But there's always time in the middle of the night. ”

"When I wake up, it's trouble again." Yang Jian smiled and asked again, "Can I take this medicine all the time?" ”

"You can't stop three meals, the medicine depends on the situation, as long as the Queen Mother is not emotional, there is generally no need to give her medicine."

Yang Jian pondered and said, "You have to think about yourself, don't tell the Empress Dowager about outside matters casually." Especially the news of the two kings. ”

"The Empress Dowager must have already known the Dao." The imperial doctor replied in a low voice, "If it is not even clear what the outcome of the second king will be, it is impossible for the empress dowager to make a big fuss." ”

Yang Jian sighed, when he came out, the Chongzheng Palace was already writing an edict, and now the two kings are either hanging on the beam of the house or hanging on the lampstand, the mother and son are connected, no wonder the queen mother will make trouble.

"The second king is the culprit, and the queen mother and the ministers can't spare him. But the three kings are still there, why bother making such trouble? If you don't get it right, the three kings will be ugly. When the Empress Dowager comes to her senses, just tell her so. When the time comes, you should be careful not to let the Empress Dowager have an accident. "If things don't go well, the lower officials will order someone to boil another piece of opium soup."

"Then you should deal with it carefully, if it really doesn't work, continue to let the Queen Mother drink soup. In short, one thing is not to let the Empress Dowager be damaged at all. ”

"Xia Guan understands!"

……………………

"Queen Mother. Wang Zhongzheng is back. ”

The report from outside the hall interrupted the discussion that had not stopped in the Chongzheng Palace.

"Let Wang Zhongzheng come in!" There was a hint of eagerness in the cold voice.

Empress Dowager Xiang was directly on the Chongzheng Palace, and asked Master Hanlin to write a letter, called Wang Zhongzheng over, and ordered him to lead people to Zhao Hao's side to announce the edict. In his words and demeanor, he couldn't wait, so he said to Wang Zhongzheng to go and come back quickly.

However, Wang Zhongzheng was considerate, and he really went back quickly, without much delay.

Zhao Hao's verdict did not go through the necessary procedures, and could only be completed afterwards. Although it is best to walk from Dali Temple, the situation is unstable, rather than waiting until after dark, worried that someone is plotting against him, and wants to rescue Zhao Hao and fight to the death. It is safest to cut it off from the root.

Wang Zhongzheng, who returned to the Chongzheng Palace, was full of murderous energy. Although he is not armoured, he is still majestic. Looking at Wang Zhongzheng's current appearance, outsiders will not doubt his identity as a world-famous general when they see him. But when he really led the army, it wasn't necessarily like this.

Wang Zhong is bowing down in the temple: "The minister was ordered to order Qi to rebel and self-judge, and now that the matter is over, the minister has come to pay the order." ”

"Finally dead...... Empress Dowager Xiang seemed to be relieved.

Since the first emperor Zhao Ji fell ill, everything in the palace and court has not been normal.

The queen and the prince have no etiquette to meet each other, and in terms of etiquette, the queen mother and her husband's two younger brothers cannot meet at all, and even the etiquette of meeting after meeting has nowhere to follow. The prince and Zai Zhi were also taboo to even speak, but Cai did hook up with Zhao Hao.

If it was when the first emperor Zhao Hao was well, how could Zhao Hao dare to commit a light offense?

Now that Zhao Hao is dead, he is finally normal.

"It is the Queen Mother's benevolence and virtue that allows her to judge herself."

"Rende? Cheap him. She said unceremoniously.

It's too cheap.

Several Zaifu in the hall have relatives.

Normal should be Ling Chi, and before the flesh on his body is cut off, he can't be allowed to die happily.

Han Gang doesn't care, it's just a matter of dying.

Hanging, beheading, beheading, and Ling Chi, each one is more brutal than the other. But no matter how cruel the capital punishment is, it is actually just to deter the world, or to breathe a sigh of relief.

"The first evil is all punished. The minister asked the queen mother to quickly spread the message to all parts of the city, and the court dealt with Zhao Hao, Zeng Bu, and Xue Xiang. ”

This edict to be made public has been written, and when Wang Zhongzheng led the edict to invite Zhao Hao on the road, the Hanlin scholar had already completed the edict.

"Wang Zhongzheng, this edict is for you, go out of the palace and tell the hundred officials and the army. Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang were exiled to Jiaozhou, and their sons and nephews were exiled to Leizhou and Xinzhou Prefectures. As long as he can confess his guilt, the court will not punish him severely, but if there are still people who dare to die without repentance, the court and I will never be forgiven again. ”

Wang Zhongzheng fell to his knees, took the will, and then turned and went out of the temple gate. is a vigorous and resolute place, and he is completely a famous general who is forbidden by order.

Seeing Wang Zhongzheng leave, he asked the queen mother the courtiers below: "Okay." There won't be a problem now, right? ”

Wang Anshi bowed and saluted: "The Queen Mother is already so generous, except for one or two extremely vicious people, who can not be grateful for the kindness of the Queen Mother." ”

Han Jiang also said: "Even if there are people who can still confuse the public, as soon as the edict is announced, the people will disperse one after another." ”

"And what's next?" Xiang asked the Queen Mother.

What else?!

Lu Jia asked if he wanted to help the Queen Mother wrench her fingers. One, two, three, don't you see so many people missing?

"Nope." Han Gang said, "In order to calm people's hearts, the imperial court needs everything to be as usual. And now that the first evil has been punished, the aftermath has gradually subsided, and the business cannot be delayed for some trivial things. ”

He glanced at several impetuous colleagues, especially Lu Jia, don't be in such a hurry!
