In the room, Yuan Min snorted, "Dou Xian was killed by himself, he didn't want to conspire with us to make a big deal, he fled with more than a thousand generals, trying to escape back to Guanzhong, but was chased and killed by Chen Ling with five thousand cavalry, to put it bluntly, it was the Dou family who had already gained the benefits, and didn't want to take any more risks, but the arrow was already on the string, and we had to send it, we should not be afraid to take risks if we want to do big things, and it is unknown who will kill the deer in Guanzhong." ”

Next to him, Yuwen Zhiji added: "I talked to my brother yesterday, now the army's morale is extremely chaotic, the people are panicking, the time for us to start an incident has come, my brother asks us to wait a few more days, once the time is ripe, he will notify us immediately." ”

Everyone nodded, and at this time, Sima Dejiao leaned over and asked, "Zhang Yizheng, how is the condition of the faint monarch?" ”

Doctor Zheng Zhang Kai brushed his beard and said: "His condition is still the same, he is addicted to wine all day long, his body is getting worse and worse day by day, and he is about to completely collapse." ”

"Will you die?" Huyalang asked Zhao Xingshu.

"Of course, it will be short-lived, once his body completely collapses, I estimate that he can only support it for two or three years at most, and his longevity will be exhausted."

"Damn, it will take two or three years, and I can't wait a day."

Zhao Xingshu screamed and shouted: "It's best to give some medicine to the faint monarch and let him go directly to the Yellow Spring, wouldn't it be happy!" ”

Zhao Xingshu's words touched the hearts of many people, many people don't want to bear the reputation of killing the king, of course it is best to poison the faint king, everyone looks at the doctor Zhang Kai, he is the head of the imperial doctor, if he is drugged, of course he has to count on him.

Zhang Kai smiled bitterly and said: "It is estimated that it is difficult, any food and wine of the faint monarch must be tested by Empress Xiao, and it is difficult to hide the poison from Empress Xiao." ”

Yuan Min thought for a moment and asked, "If you use a tasteless chronic medicine, it will attack in a month." Can it be done? ”

"I'm going to think about that."

Zhang Kai saw that there were too many people in the room, and this kind of thing was not easy to discuss in public, so he was vague, Yuan Min immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's discuss it here today." Let's drink bars! ”

"Drink! Drink! ”

The crowd raised their glasses and said no more, and the eavesdropper on the roof stepped back lightly, and he went to the backyard and relayed the conversation in the room to the king's shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Wang felt that the matter was very important and that he had to report the situation to Li Houzheng immediately.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen people had eaten and eaten to their heart's content, and they dispersed, leaving only Yuan Min, Yu Wenzhi and Heyi Zheng Zhang Kai in the room.

Then. Zhang Kaicai said to Yuan Min: "There are too many people just now, it's hard to say clearly, if you use chronic medicine, it is indeed feasible, but if you use it too violently, it will still be discovered, if you put a chronic medicine called Yue Yusan in the wine, ordinary people only drink one or two sips of wine at least two or three years before they have a seizure." But if you drink like a faint gentleman, the effect will appear in a month at the earliest. At most, ten days will definitely die, but I don't know how to drug the wine. ”

Yu Wenzhi frowned, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that the wine that Dujun drinks is thyme brewed by Zhao Ji Wine Shop, and Dum Jun only recognizes his wine, and we can do something at the source." ”

Yuan Min waved his hand, "Zhao Ji Wine Shop will send dozens of jars of wine into the palace every day. Who knows which jar he drank? I will arrange someone to do the medicine in the wine, and the key is that Doctor Zhang is dispensing the medicine as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Kai nodded, "I will prepare the medicine within three days!" ”

Without waiting for the liquor store to close, Shopkeeper Wang hurried to the Bohai Commercial Bank in Beishi, which is the General Intelligence Bureau of the Qingzhou Army. Except for a very few core figures, most of the intelligence spies did not know the true identity of this firm.

Bohai Commercial Bank covers an area of about five acres, three acres of land in the front yard is a nominal commercial bank, and two acres of land in the back yard of more than 20 houses, is where the Jiangdu Information General Administration is located, out of the back is the Beishi Cao River, if there is an emergency, you can evacuate from the waterway.

There are a total of 12 people stationed in the General Intelligence Bureau, and it is Li Qingming, and among the 11 people below, eight are responsible for sorting out the intelligence of the four lines of officialdom, military, opposition, and civilian, and summarizing them to find out valuable information and send it to Li Qingming.

The other three were messengers, responsible for sending the information written by Li Qingming to the Eagle Slave outside the city in time, and then the Eagle sent the information to Beihai County, which was very efficient and rigorous.

Since the shopkeeper Wang brought oral information, a clerk led him directly to Li Qingming's room.

"Hou Zheng, the shopkeeper Wang is here, and there is important information to report."

"Let him in!" Li Qingming's voice came from the room.

Shopkeeper Wang walked into the room quickly, Li Qingming was writing a piece of information on the desk, and the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Hou Zheng!" ”

"What's the matter?" Li Qingming put down his pen and asked with a smile.

"Today, Yuwen Zhiji and others came to my wine shop again, a total of fourteen people."

Li Qingming suddenly became interested, the information he got was that Yuwen Zhihe and his sworn friends had a total of fourteen people, but he just didn't know the specific list of fourteen people, Li Qingming was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a list of them?" ”

The shopkeeper Wang took out a piece of paper, on which was written a list of about ten people, and he said apologetically: "I have identified them one by one, and only ten of them have been recognized, and the other four are coming to the wine store for the first time." ”

Ten people are enough, Li Qingming was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly took the list, he looked at it carefully, and asked, "What did they talk about at the party?" ”

"They're talking about the time to get things going."

Shopkeeper Wang recounted the information he had overheard in detail, and Li Qingming's expression became more and more solemn, he had realized the importance of this information, and it could be said that this was the most accurate and important information they had received so far.

Yuwen Zhiji and the others were likely to start an incident in a month, and Li Qingming suddenly felt that time had become urgent.

But it was not rigorous enough to draw conclusions based on just one banquet discussion, and he had to get more accurate and effective information.

Li Qingming glanced at the list again, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Kai, who was a doctor, and his intuition told him that this person would be the key to the Jiangdu uprising.

………

Zhang Kai, a medical officer, is about 478 years old this year and has been an imperial doctor in the palace for more than 20 years.

His father Zhang Qiuzheng was also the imperial physician of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his grandfather and great-grandfather also served as medical officials in the palace.

If you have to find some reason why Zhang Kai participated in the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty, there are two main points, one is that Zhang Kai is Yuwenshu's person, he was originally just an imperial doctor, and under Yuwenshu's strong recommendation, he was promoted to the head of the imperial doctor and became the palace doctor.

The second reason is that Zhang Kai is personal, he is from Chang'an, his wife and children are in Chang'an, the news of Li Yuan's attack on Chang'an makes him worried, he wants to return to Chang'an, but fleeing is a capital crime, and he can only hope that the coup will succeed.

Because of his special status, he gradually became a key figure in the process of Yuwen Zhi and the plan being advanced step by step.

After the wine shop discussed, another three days passed, Zhang Kai had been secretly arranging a ******** in the Medical Officer's Office, and it took him three full days to finally prepare it successfully, Zhang Kai was also exhausted, dragging heavy steps back to the temporary residence in Jiangyang County.

Because there are too many officials who come to Jiangdu, according to the regulations, officials below the fifth grade can only live in Jiangyang County, although Zhang Kai's position is very critical, but the official position is not high, just from the seventh rank of the petty official, he can only live in Jiangyang County.

Zhang Kai's residence in Jiangyang County is just a small mansion covering an area of one and a half acres, and there is only one old servant to serve him.

Zhang Kai usually goes to have a drink when he returns to Jiangyang County, but today he is very tired, riding back home, he turned over and dismounted and knocked on the door, the courtyard door was not closed, it was hidden, and it was opened with a slight push.

"Fifth uncle! Fifth uncle! ”

Zhang Kai shouted twice, no one answered, he glanced at the corner of the courtyard, the basket for buying vegetables was gone, it seemed that the fifth uncle went out to buy vegetables, but forgot to close the courtyard door.

"When people get old, it's easy to forget this and that!"

Zhang Kai shook his head, tied the horse to the tree, and waited for the fifth uncle to come back before feeding it water and food.

Zhang Kai dragged his tired steps into his study, the curtains of the study were closed, and it seemed that the room was very dark, he suddenly felt that there was someone in the study, and hurriedly touched the sword on the wall next to him, but it was empty.

"No need to look for it, the sword is here!"

A young and deep voice came from the corner of the room, and at this time, Zhang Kai's eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the room, and he saw a person sitting in his seat, holding a sharp sword in his hand, which was the sword he hung on the wall. (To be continued.) )
