Chapter 53: Serial Poison Scheme (2)
The two brothers Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun were instructed by Li Xian, and naturally their hearts were clear, and the two brothers discussed it like this, so they decided to set up a banquet the next night, and invited Gaozong, Empress Wu, Prince Li Hong, King Pei Li Xian, King Li Xian of Zhou, Li Xulun, King of Yin, Mrs. Wu Shun of Korea, and Mrs. Helan Minyue of Wei to go to the house where the two brothers lived for the banquet.
It is definitely a great honor for them to be able to invite so many court dignitaries, especially those in power in the empire such as Gaozong and Empress Wu, so the entire mansion has long been full of lights and joy.
As the masters, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun led all the men in the mansion to stand outside the door of the mansion, respectfully waiting for the arrival of the car. Although the cold wind was biting, it was difficult to hide the joy on his face.
Gaozong and Empress Wu did not let them wait longer, about half an hour when they waited for half an hour, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them, and there were only 100 knights on horse, but they were all heroic and extraordinary, carrying a horse lance, carrying a bow and arrow on their shoulders, murderous, this team was naturally the most elite royal guard in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it was also the emperor's exclusive guard - a hundred horses.
There is only one person who can be worthy of hundreds of horses to open the way, and that is the supreme son of heaven Gaozong.
I saw that Gaozong slowly got down under the support of Cheng Lishi and the guidance of Empress Wu, and then came to the side of Wu Weiliang's brothers, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the warm invitation of the two uncles today, today I led my wife and relatives to come to disturb me, I hope not to be surprised." ”
Although Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun are royal relatives, it is also the first time to see the holy driver, and now they see Gaozong smiling and kind, full of spirit, all of them are moved to tears, and then bowed and said: "Thanks to the saint who does not give up, the jade toe is here, and the ministers are terrified, I hope that Your Majesty can show a little dragon face at today's dinner, then the ministers are already flattered." ”
But I saw that Gaozong said kindly: "The two of them don't have to be polite, this is a family banquet, only about family affairs, regardless of the monarch and minister, both of them are my wife and brother, and they are the masters here. ”
"Your Majesty's words make the ministers and others panic, although we and Your Majesty are relatives, we are also monarchs and ministers, although it is a family banquet, how dare the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers be abolished? Or Your Majesty please first, otherwise, although the ministers know that this is the emperor's grace, I am afraid that future generations will also think that the ministers are indiscriminately inviting favors because of the emperor's relatives, and there is no king. ”
"Haha, Aiqing is polite, even so, I am disrespectful." Gaozong was very satisfied with what Wu Weiliang said, laughed, and entered the mansion accompanied by Empress Wu, and then entered the hall.
Originally, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun were a thorn in the history, and it was impossible to have a mansion here and now, but Feng Chan, who was in charge of distributing the mansion, made Lu Dun believe that their brother was the emperor, so he assigned them a spacious mansion, and now it is just used to feast the emperor and others.
After some humility, everyone sat down, and Gaozong, as the supreme, was of course arranged to be the chief, followed by Empress Wu and the crown prince Li Hong, and then Mrs. Han, Mrs. Wei, Li Xian, Li Xian, Li Xulun and others.
As soon as the banquet began, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun clapped their hands, and then only heard the sound of music, and a team of high-nosed and deep-eyed orchids twisted their soft waists and danced, which made people applaud and praise endlessly.
After a dance, the Wu Weiliang brothers stood up together, bowed to Gaozong and said, "Your Majesty, today the ministers have prepared a dish, and I have come to enjoy it with Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Queen." ”
"Oh, I don't know what it is?" When Gaozong heard this, he suddenly became interested, and said with a smile.
But seeing Wu Weiliang smiled mysteriously, and then clapped his hands lightly, he saw several servants carrying a huge wooden plate to the hall, and on the wooden plate was a whole roasted whole sheep.
"It's just a roast sheep, isn't there anything new?" Gaozong couldn't help but be very strange and asked.
saw Wu Weiliang smile mysteriously, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, there will be a good show to watch soon." ”
After that, he saw a blister waiting next to him take out a short knife and cut it into the belly of the roast sheep, and then Gao Zong saw that the belly of the roast sheep was originally sewn on.
When the blister opened the belly of the sheep, Gaozong saw that there was a fragrant roast goose hidden inside!
I saw Wu Weiliang smiling and personally serving the roast goose meat cut by the blister to Gaozong, Empress Wu and others, and then said with a smile: "This dish is called Hun Yang Death, it is a famous dish from the Western Regions, its practice is very particular, the goose is washed, the meat and glutinous rice of the five flavors are mixed into the goose's belly, and then the sheep is slaughtered, the skin is peeled, the internal organs are removed, and then the goose is loaded into the sheep's belly and sewn properly, roasted on the fire, and then the goose is taken from the sheep's belly to eat. ”
"Muddy sheep succumbing? I have never eaten this dish before, and today I will see Aiqing's new dish. After finishing speaking, Gaozong picked up the ivory chopsticks and prepared to taste the fragrant roast goose.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Empress Wu suddenly stretched out her hand to stop and said: "Your Majesty is slow, although this dish is novel, but it has not been tried, I don't know if it is delicious or not, Your Majesty is the supreme in the world, how can you try it?" If it is because of the bad taste, causing His Majesty's spleen and stomach to be discordant, it is a great sin for the concubine and the elder brother, according to the concubine, it is better to find a cronie to try a bite on behalf of His Majesty, if it is really delicious, it is not too late for His Majesty to eat it. ”
"Well, the queen has a point." Hearing this, Gaozong nodded, then stopped and asked, "I just don't know who should try it this time?" ”
"Hehe, this matter is naturally done by the concubine, as the wife of His Majesty, the concubine should be responsible for the food and daily life, how can anyone replace the concubine in this world?" Empress Wu smiled at the corner of her eyes, then glanced around casually, and even more provocatively glanced at Helan Minyue, the wife of Wei not far away, and then stretched out her ivory basket to take food.
"Wait." At this time, he heard Helan Minyue stand up, and then slowly saluted Gaozong and Empress Wu: "The queen just said that His Majesty is the body of a daughter, which is good, but the queen has forgotten that she is also a body of a daughter, and many major events in the court are waiting for the queen to assist in handling. The concubine is the queen's niece, Your Majesty is my uncle, the queen is my aunt, the concubine grew up in the palace since childhood, and was favored by His Majesty and the queen, and treated it as a daughter. ”
Helan Minyue has been competing with the queen for favor since she was in the palace, and she has provoked the emperor to be fascinated by her youth and can't control herself, how can she give this opportunity to "take care of the emperor's diet and daily life" to others? So after Empress Wu brought it up, he stood up without hesitation and said unyieldingly.
"Hehe, Yue'er, this matter is still good for my aunt, my aunt is older than Er, and she is more experienced in this area, after all, you are young, if you are a little uncomfortable, how do you know how to deal with it?"
Although Empress Wu's words were ostensibly about tasting food for Gaozong, it was a different taste in Helan Minyue's ears, that is, laughing at himself for being too tender and inexperienced in serving Gaozong, so he was not worthy of competing with him at all.
Helan Minyue has always thought that her beauty is better than that of Empress Wu, and she is even more ready to use this as capital to instigate Gaozong to abolish Empress Wu and establish herself more, but now when she sees the other party's provocation, how can she bear it? hurriedly refuted: "Auntie's words are not right, although Yue'er is young, she also knows the way in this, and the accumulated experience is not inferior to that of her aunt, who is busy with affairs and diligent in political affairs. ”
After finishing speaking, Helan Minyue didn't care what Empress Wu said again, stretched out her ivory basket to grab a piece of goose meat, and took a bite hard, and then a look of aftertaste and admiration suddenly appeared on her face, and she laughed loudly: "It's really delicious, delicate and refreshing, it makes people move their fingers, this kind of deliciousness is really the best in the world." Hehe, to be able to dip His Majesty's rain and dew, the first to eat such a delicious delicacy in the world, Yue'er is really worth the trip. Ah......h
"Yue'er, Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" The Korean lady Wu Shun on the side saw that her daughter was suddenly sweating profusely, covering her abdomen in pain, and almost lying on her back, so she hurriedly supported her daughter and asked with concern.
"This, this dish has, poisonous." Helan Minyue was already very difficult to speak at this time, and by the time she finished saying this, she was already bleeding and purple.
"Yue'er, Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Don't be scared. Wu Shun hugged his daughter, gently wiped away the black blood that flowed out for Helan Minyue, and cried loudly.
"This, this, Yue'er, you are fine, how did you become like this now?" Seeing that Helan Minyue was only a moment, he was already poisonous, and he couldn't help but have his liver and intestines broken, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly go to the Tai Hospital to worship, quickly go to the Tai Hospital to worship, at any cost, I want to save my Yue'er." ”
Gaozong said as he walked towards Helan Minyue.
Unexpectedly, Empress Wu suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said loudly: "Your Majesty, no, Yue'er is highly poisoned, it must be out of the conspiracy of thieves, if Your Majesty comes, I am afraid that there will be a young person who will take the opportunity to assassinate him, and please ask Your Majesty to take Jiangshan Sheji as ......"
"Fuck off." Before Empress Wu could say the word "heavy", he was yelled at by Gaozong, ripped off his sleeves, and then continued to go to Helan Minyue.
"Hundred horses, escorts." Empress Wu took advantage of the fact that everyone didn't see it, stared at Gaozong viciously, and then shouted loudly, stunned to let the hundred horses block in front of Gaozong, cutting off Gaozong's passage to see Helan Minyue for the last time.
"Yue'er, Yue'er." Gaozong cried bitterly, and finally couldn't help but have black eyes and fell straight to the ground......
