176 Zhang Jean's death

Seeing that the Spirit Emperor's complexion was not good, and his face was tired, Luan Yi was afraid that the Spirit Emperor would be angry, so he didn't dare to expose the guilt of the Ten Standing Servants on the spot.

After obtaining the permission of the Spirit Emperor, he gave the Spirit Emperor a lower pulse. After tasting it carefully, I found that if the pulse of the Spirit Emperor was absent, it was close to running out of oil and the lamp was dry, and if it continued like this, within ten days, the Spirit Emperor was afraid that he would go to heaven.

"Dare to ask what kind of medicine does Your Majesty use on weekdays?"

The Spirit Emperor was tired and didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Rang, who was standing aside.

Zhang Rang took the prescription and sent it to Luan Yi. Luan Yi took a look and was puzzled, there is no problem with this recipe, there are many refreshing medicinal materials in it, after taking these medicines, you can completely control the current condition of the Spirit Emperor, at least you can delay the disease for another year and a half. But why is the Spirit Emperor in front of him listless and looking like the deadline is approaching?

He asked, "Apart from these, what other medicine did His Majesty use?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Rang was speechless and looked at Emperor Ling. The latter nodded.

 *;Zhang Rang took out a delicate wooden coffin, opened the wooden lid, and handed it to Luan Yi to see.

Luan Yi took a look and found a delicate and dazzling round pill in the wooden coffin. Panic arose, and he shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, have you taken the pill?" ”

The Spirit Emperor nodded.

Zhang Rang said without smiling: "Yes! This is the elixir personally refined by Daoist Dongjizi, which can remove all kinds of diseases and prolong life. Your Majesty has committed all kinds of miscellaneous diseases before, and they are all cured by this elixir. Daoist Dongjizi also said that there is spirituality in the elixir, and if you insist on eating it, Your Majesty can ascend to heaven and become an immortal! ”

"How long has Your Majesty eaten?" Luan Yiyi's eyes were red.

"More than ten years! It costs a lot to refine this elixir! One piece will cost thousands of taels of silver worth of medicinal materials, and in the first few years, the palace is poor, and His Majesty will eat one a month at most. Now, thanks to the young master Hongfu, the inner house is full, His Majesty can eat one every day, and he was strong a while ago! No, in the past two days, somehow, I suddenly fell ill again. ”

"What? One a day? Luan Yi suddenly felt as if someone had smashed his head with a brick, dizzy, and fell to the ground. No wonder, no wonder Emperor Ling fell ill ten months early, it turned out that I was the one who started everything! It was because I made more money for him that he increased the dosage of the pill, which aggravated the process of poisoning. "How so! I knew that I should have persuaded His Majesty not to take the pill! But I didn't know that His Majesty was taking pills! ”

"Young master? Luan Yi? Zhang Rang saw Luan Yi's face of fear and self-blame, and was stunned in place, so he tried to wake him up.

"Be bold!" Luan Yi was furious and kicked Zhang Rang to the ground. The servants and guards in the hall were startled, and in order to prevent Luan Yi from attacking the Spirit Emperor, they pulled out their weapons in a hurry.

"Luan Yi, are you crazy? Your Majesty, look at it, Luan Yi dares to beat our family! Zhang Rang's mouth was full of blood, and he shouted.

Emperor Ling opened his eyes with great effort, and said weakly: "Aiqing, don't be presumptuous!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Luan Yiputong knelt in front of the Spirit Emperor's couch, "It's not that the minister is presumptuous, it's that the pill that Zhang let you eat is poisonous!" ”

"What?" Emperor Ling's eyes widened quickly, and he glanced at Zhang Rang.

"Impossible!" Zhang Rang retorted loudly, "Your Majesty, before taking the pill, the little eunuchs have specially tried it, and they will not be poisoned at all." ”

Luan Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Won't be poisoned?" Hmph, these are all chronic poisons, you can't kill people for a while, if you take it for more than ten years, the toxin invades the plaster, and there is no cure. Zhang Rang, you are so poisonous! ”

"You ......" Zhang Rang was shocked, "You spew blood!" ”

"Bloody mouth?" Luan Yi pleaded with Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, please send someone to the back kitchen to catch a rabbit for your ministers." Let the rabbit eat this elixir to see if it will be poisoned. ”

Emperor Ling gave a glance, "Zhao Ziqi has to do what he says!" ”

"Whoa!" The two eunuchs outside the door nodded to Luan Yi, and without waiting for Zhang Rang's consent, they trotted to find Yu Du.

Yu Du sneered in his heart, "The sect leader has finally made a move." Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang, you also have today! Giggle......"

He personally ran to the back kitchen to catch a rabbit, handed it to the two eunuchs, and sent it to Luan Yi of the Qingliang Palace.

Luan Yi grabbed the rabbit's ears with one hand, kneaded the pill into powder with the other hand, and forcibly poured it into the rabbit's mouth in the water.

Seeing this, the Spirit Emperor coughed angrily.

"Zhang Rang, take a look...... How do you explain that? ”

"Huh?" Zhang Rang Putong knelt down, "Impossible, impossible!" This ......"

"Someone! Drag me down and cut it down! The Spirit Emperor was furious.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty spares your life! Our family really doesn't know, even if the poison is under the Dong Jizi, our family is also kept in the dark! Your Majesty, our family has been loyal to Your Majesty for decades, how could it be possible to poison Your Majesty? Thinking in front of and behind the saddle of our family, there is no merit and hard work, so spare our family! ”

As soon as Zhang Rang said the old feelings, Emperor Ling's heart softened. He remembered that when he first ascended to the throne, his relatives Dou clan controlled the government and was arrogant, and he didn't take him as the emperor in his eyes at all. Only Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were loyal, stayed by his side, helped him with advice, and finally overthrew his relatives Dou and put the Empress Dowager Dou under house arrest, and seized power. It can be said that without Zhang Rang, there would be no current Liu Hong.

Luan Yi saw that Emperor Ling was suspicious, and continued to speak, "Your Majesty, the minister has a good performance. ”

The Spirit Emperor nodded.

Luan Yi took out the fold from his sleeve and read it aloud. The recital was full of more than 10 detailed statements of Zhang Rang's various crimes, and more than 300 crimes that were enough to be sentenced to hanging were omitted with the word "etc.", and said that the evidence of all the culprits was conclusive, and it was in the three large boxes outside the hall, and the Ling Emperor could call it at any time.

The anger that Emperor Ling had just suppressed jumped out again, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he got up angrily and snatched it from Luan Yi's hand to look up and down. He knew a lot of them, and a lot of them he kept in the dark. He angrily smashed the fold on Zhang Rang's face, "Look at it, this is all a good thing you did." Someone dragged him out and beheaded him! ”

"Huh?" Zhang Rang collapsed, he threw himself on the ground and crawled towards Emperor Ling, but was stopped by Luan Yi, pulled out of the hall by the collar, and handed it over to the guards.

For more than 20 years in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Rang, who ranked first among the top ten permanent attendants, lost his head like this.

Hearing the screams symbolizing death coming from outside the hall, Emperor Ling shuddered for a moment, he waved his hand, and said to Luan Yi, "I'm tired." Aiqing step aside! ”

Luan Yi gave up his hand, withdrew from the main hall, rode out of the palace, and went straight to the Feng Pavilion.

In the Tianzi box of Qifeng Pavilion, Yu Du has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Luan Yi enter the door, he came to Luan Yi in three steps and two steps, knelt down and bowed, "Xie Sect Master helped Yu Du avenge the destruction of the door." ”

Luan Yi shook his head with a wry smile, "When is the time for retribution." The reason why I killed Zhang Rang was not to avenge you, but to make the future Han less bitter like you who lived with hatred. ”

Yu Du kowtowed again, "The sect leader understands righteousness!" Yu Du admired. ”

Luan Yi helped Yu Du up and sat down at the table with him.

Yu Du praised: "Today's sect leader's plan of Li Dai Taostiff is really wonderful, and even the scheming Zhang Rang has been concealed. ”

"I don't dare to do it." Luan Yi waved his hand, "'I don't do bad things in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door in the middle of the night'." Originally, I didn't expect today's plan to directly bring down Zhang Rang, but I just wanted to frame Zhang Rang for poisoning the food during the banquet one day, so as to separate His Majesty and Zhang Rang and reduce His Majesty's trust in Zhang Rang. But he never thought that Zhang Rang the dog thief was bold and eager for quick success, and even fed His Majesty pills...... Whether the medicine in the pill is poisonous or not, he Zhang Rang can't figure it out. As a thief, I was bluffed all of a sudden, and for a while I ignored that the death of the rabbit was not necessarily a problem with the pill, and it was also possible that the rabbit had been poisoned before taking the pill. ”

"The Sect Leader is clever!"

"It's just luck!" Luan Yi's expression was gloomy, he would rather not have this kind of luck. Because, then the Spirit Emperor can at least live. "Of course, the elixir is indeed poisonous. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not be what he is now, but it will take a long time to argue, and we can't afford to wait. ”

Yu Du asked, "What is the sect leader going to do next?" ”

"As soon as Zhang Rang died, the ten permanent servants would have no backbone. Just take advantage of His Majesty's sober consciousness and break each one. ”

Yu Du asked, "Then who to start with?" ”

"Zhao Zhong!"

At the same time as Luan Yi and Yu Du were talking. Zhao Zhong, Feng Zhen, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were shocked when they learned the news of Zhang Rang's death, and hurriedly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Cao Jie was so anxious that he turned around, "Zhao Gong, how is this good?" He Luan Ziqi relied on His Majesty's grace and began to do something to us! ”

Duan Gui said: "I knew that today, even if I fought hard, I should have killed him Luan Ziqi!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

Zhao Zhong thought for a while, "Okay!" At this point, don't say those words of regret. ”

"Then hurry up and think of a countermeasure! You can't just be stupid and wait for death! ”

Zhao Zhong frowned and said: "Now, Luan Yi has won the favor of His Majesty, and His Majesty only has him Luan Yi in his heart, and there is no one waiting for me!" The tragic beheading of Zhang Gong is proof of this. Without His Majesty's grace, how can we save ourselves? ”

Among the ten permanent attendants, Duan Gui was the most ruthless, and he grasped the key point at once, "Your Majesty is successful, and Your Majesty is also defeated!" As? ”

"You mean?" A fierce light flashed in Zhao Zhong's eyes, "That's it!" One does not do two endlessly. ”

Yu Du discussed the specific matters with Luan Yi, and hurried to the palace, Luan Yi arranged a lot of affairs for him, which needed to be implemented as soon as possible.

Far away from the palace gate, he saw his most trusted apprentice waiting anxiously at the door. Seeing that he was returning, he hurriedly greeted him and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What? You said Your Majesty died! Are you sure? ”

The apprentice motioned to Yu Du to whisper, "It's true, I just died half an hour ago." The apprentice confirmed it from the doctor. Zhao Zhongmi is not mourning, I don't know what to do! In addition, Zhao Zhong also replaced the guards in the inner court with his own people, holding the power of the soldiers and horses in the palace. He had always known that the master had a good relationship with the sect leader, and the apprentice was afraid that he would be unfavorable to the master, so he came to tell him. ”

Yu Du had palpitations, if he was so dizzy and broke into the palace, it was really possible that he would be captured by Zhao Zhong to avenge Zhang Rang. "If it weren't for the apprentice, he would have almost lost his life for the teacher. If there is anything different in the palace, you can go to Qifeng Pavilion at any time to inform Luan Fu! ”

After speaking, Yu Du hurriedly returned to the Feng Pavilion and told Luan Yi about the situation in the palace.

Luan Yi was shocked, "What? Your Majesty is dead? No way! Judging from the pulse, Your Majesty will not ascend to heaven so soon! ”
