The king of Jiyin County was arrested.

Linchengbo's father and son were also arrested.

As long as any clan dares to show a little loyalty, they will be arrested and imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Xu sat gloomily at the table, and Zaisuke's cruelty to Zhongliang became more and more unscrupulous, which made him angry and accumulate in his heart.

But what made Zhao Xu even more angry was that there were only so few people in the loyal clan.

Every year, millions of dollars are spent on supporting the clan, but these people don't even feel the kindness at all, what is the use of raising them?

It is to raise a dog, and when the owner suffers, he can at least bark a few times, and these clansmen are not as good as a dog.

Zhao Xu stared at the plates and dishes full of tables in front of him, eager to copy them and smash them all over the ground. He felt that only in this way could he vent his anger in his heart.

He originally had high hopes for the clan.

Even if the clan is a potential rebel, only the clan is the most credible when the courtiers with foreign surnames have bad intentions.

Otherwise, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, why did those emperors give military and political power to the clan, no matter what, their own family members are more trustworthy than people with foreign surnames.

But the traitors were too quick to attack, and the loyalty of the clans was so weak that there were almost no people, and almost overnight, there were few people who could still be relied on.

The situation took a sharp turn for Zhao Xu, and the clan relatives who could be used as arms and assistants were cut off one by one. Zhongliang, who originally had high hopes, also took refuge in the traitors one by one. Those who are promoted by traitors will not be loyal courtiers.

It's time to run out of water.

The courtiers were ready to hold a ceremony at any time.

Can't wait!

Zhao Xu was about to shoot the case, the rope around his neck became tighter and tighter, and if he waited, it wouldn't be long before he could be blessed by the first emperor of Shanyanggong.

No. The next moment his mind changed again.

We have to wait a little longer.

If you act rashly, you will only lose your life in vain. The thieves have the right to do it, and they don't have to worry that no one will come out to make a profit.

Only by keeping yourself can you persevere to the end.

Zhao Xu lowered his head and quietly poured rice into his mouth. His eyes were squinted, and his gaze lingered on the teacup on his left.

On a pleasant spring day, after just eating a little food and drinking some soup, the emperor already had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

The waiter who served Zhao Xu to eat skillfully took out a sweat towel, the emperor was weak, often had night sweats, and he sweated a little when eating, so he didn't feel strange.

Zhao Xu swallowed a mouthful of food and let the waiter help him wipe his sweat. The small paper bag that the concubine quietly stuffed is now in his sleeve, as long as he pours it in and drinks it, he can suddenly get sick, and the symptoms are no different from poisoning.

To drink, or not to drink, this is also a question.

If it is the permission of the Empress Dowager through the parliamentary council, you can abolish yourself and set up a new monarch, and there are old precedents to follow, and it can even be said that it is in line with the principles of heaven and human feelings, and it can be done justifiably.

But if the Son of Heaven is poisoned, that's a different story. At this time, if you still want to do the abolition of the establishment, it is tantamount to admitting that you are the murderer of poisoning and killing the king. Regardless of whether this trick can be used next time, once it succeeds this time, it can be safed for at least half a year.

The drug is effective and ineffective, Zhao Xu is not worried, the mother concubine will definitely let people try it before giving it to herself. The only thing that worries Zhao Xu is whether the news of his poisoning can be spread out without being turned into a minor illness that is no different from usual by the Zaifu.

However, Zhao Xu believed that the mother concubine could still spread the news of the poisoning, otherwise she would not have come up with this plan.

Once it is spread, no matter how many people believe it at a time, as long as the rebellious ministers and thieves want to do the abolition, those who did not believe in it will also become believed. When the time comes, it will be the rebellious ministers and thieves who will be in trouble.

As long as you take the medicine, you can keep it safe for at least half a year.

But there is another voice in my head shouting, don't fantasize, things will never be so smooth, you can't be in a hurry, you must not be in a hurry!

To eat or not to eat? Zhao Xu was in a dilemma.

"Official, let's eat some more."

Seeing that the Son of Heaven stopped for a while and didn't move the chopsticks, the waiter couldn't help but persuade him.

Zhao Xu, who was still hesitating, blurted out at first glance, "Don't eat!" ”

"Official?"

Zhao Xu sent an evil fire before, which frightened everyone in the Funing Palace. At this time, seeing that the face of the Son of Heaven was different, he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.

Zhao Xu came back to his senses, looked around, and frowned slightly, "I'm full, pour a cup of tea and soup...... No, a glass of cooked water will do. ”

It was not clear whether the tea soup would offend the medicinal properties, but Zhao Xu felt that it was safest to use boiled white water. Whether you eat it or not, it doesn't hurt to have an extra glass of water on hand.

The people in the left and right palaces were sent down, and even the personal attendants were driven down by Zhao Xu, and they couldn't see the movement on the table when they raised their heads.

The not-so-large paper bag is pressed under the palm of the hand, and on the side is the cooked water with the lid peeled off, lukewarm, just in the mouth.

As long as you pour the contents of the paper bag into the cup and put it on your back, you can get half a year's restful sleep.

Can't wait any longer, must eat.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu's mind changed a little.

He kept urging himself in his heart. Until the day he takes power, he must remain in his current position.

This is what my father left behind, and I will not give it to anyone. ’

Su Song is already old, as soon as he goes, the two thieves of Zhang and Han will fight internally, and there will be only one throne, and they will fight to the death first.

After being an emperor for so many years, Zhao Xu knows very well how attractive the position of the Son of Heaven is. The face of the second uncle when he rebelled, he still remembers it clearly.

The position of the Son of Heaven is the best bait, and even if the two thieves of Zhang and Han are sanctimonious, they will definitely not be able to withstand the temptation of the king's domination of the world.

As long as you can delay it for a while, you can rest assured that you can watch the dispute between the two phases.

At that time, the court was in turmoil, and it was an opportunity for him to regain the big government.

There is also the Liao people, Yelu Yixin, the rebel minister who successfully usurped the throne, is the most intelligent person in the world, as long as he learns of the civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty, he will definitely raise the army in the country and invade the south.

Zhao Xu has been educated since childhood, and he has read through the history books many times. He had never seen an example of the DPRK and China being incompatible, and a general could still make meritorious contributions to the outside world.

Even if the two sides could sit down and make peace at that time, it would not be much trouble to sow discord. No matter how you say it, it is the Son of Heaven, and the general trend is difficult to reverse for a while, but in small aspects, there are too many places where you can go up and down.

At that time, the thieves will lose their hearts, and they will be able to come forward to clean up people's hearts.

After mastering the military power, he will use a group of unambitious famous generals who have been suppressed by the traitors to defeat the Liao people in one fell swoop, and even further destroy the Liao State, mix up with China, and achieve the long-cherished wish that the ancestors and the father and emperor have not been able to fulfill.

The world's Kyushu, hundreds of millions of people, are all my things, no matter who steals it now, I will definitely get it back in the future!

Zhao Xu pressed the medicine bag under the book, ready to open it.

The outside of the medicine bag was wrapped several times with thin twine, and two layers of fine oiled paper were wrapped. The rope and oiled paper were wrapped tightly, and they had to be careful not to be noticed by the personal attendants below, so they could only use one hand.

Zhao Xu clumsily used his right hand, didn't pay attention, slipped his hand, and the medicine bag almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Xu hurriedly caught the medicine bag with his legs, and his wrist accidentally touched the edge of the table, making a bang.

There was a sharp pain in the radius at the wrist, and Zhao Xu almost burst into tears. But he gritted his teeth and didn't dare to scream. He even held his breath and waited for the reaction of the attendants below.

Zhao Xu waited for a while, there was no movement at all, he looked up cautiously, but saw the attendants standing like wood carvings one by one, looking as if they were about to fall asleep.

Probably didn't notice.

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease, he opened the medicine bag with all his might.

In the paper packet, there are some extremely fine black powders, which feel a little toxic just by looking at them.

The originally firm heart shook again at this time.

Zhao Xu began to worry again, if the poison in it was too toxic, and the disguised poisoning became real poisoning, what should it be?

No, the mother must have found someone to try it, and it was because of the effect that she would secretly give it to herself.

Zhao Xu barely calmed down his uneasiness, and when he looked at these medicinal powders again, he was a little embarrassed.

The pure black powder is not suitable for pouring into the cup, as the cup will stain and will be discovered. If you find an imperial doctor to check it, you will definitely find out what is going on.

After a little hesitation, he peeked at the attendant below, Zhao Xu gritted his teeth, lowered his head, opened his mouth and took a small sip.

There was no taste at the end of the medicine, but Zhao Xu ate it in his mouth, and it was bitter from the bottom of his heart.

As the Son of Heaven, what kind of humiliation is it that he has to take medicine to protect himself?

In the case of his father and ancestors, which courtier would dare to climb to the emperor's head and be powerful?

Even Zhang Dian and Han Gang, who are now arrogant and domineering, are also bowing their heads to their ears and dare not have the slightest disobedience.

In the future, when I am in charge of the government, I will definitely cut the thieves with a thousand knives, even if he is dead, he will open the coffin and kill the corpse to vent his hatred today.

Zhao Xu took a sip of the medicinal powder, and made a thousand oaths in his heart. From the rebellious ministers and thieves themselves, to their parents, ancestors, children and relatives, they were all sworn by Zhao Xu to use the most brutal punishment to cut them one by one.

No, the men will be cut by a thousand cuts, and the women will be sent to the camp. Prostitute, let the prostitutes of the world come to taste the taste of the prime minister's daughters.

Licking all the remaining powder on the paper package, Zhao Xu looked at the oiled paper that was still a little wet, gritted his teeth, threw it into his mouth, chewed it with enough strength, and finally washed it down with white water.

As for the string that tied the small medicine bag, Zhao Xu casually put it into the boot. Suspicious traces of paper will be noticed, but clean ropes, as long as they are thrown outside, or even in the boot shaft, no one will make a fuss.

Put the string away, and then look at the table, there is no trace of it.

'Alright. ’

Zhao Xu closed his eyes tiredly, anxiously waiting for the pain to come.
