Chapter 718: A Thought of Good and Evil
A person's character determines fate, and of course, status also determines fate.
The palm print of the ten-year celebrant is not in vain, it is precisely because he sits in this high position that all eunuchs can't reach, and normal physiology men have no interest, so Zhang Yong can see higher and farther than ordinary eunuchs, so when Tang Zihe said that he could only continue Zhu Houzhao's life for ten days, all the eunuchs and eunuchs looked disappointed or desperate, but Zhang Yong was inexplicably excited.
Compared with the desperate predicament, ten days of life is a glimmer of life that he can grasp, and Zhu Houzhao's vitality is also his own vitality.
Ten days, there are too many miracles that can happen, as the most powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yong has the power to mobilize everything, just a paper order, people or things in the Ming Dynasty can be used by him, ten days to collect these people or things that may happen miracles, and completely wake up His Majesty, it is not impossible for Zhang Yong.
This glimmer of vitality is too important to Zhang Yong.
"Please Miss Tang perform the spell for Your Majesty, without further ado, I am afraid that things will change." Zhang Yong's attitude towards Tang Zihe became more and more respectful.
Everyone, including the Imperial Doctor, nodded.
They all realized that their vitality might be in Tang Zihe's hands.
Tang Zihe got up and walked from the side hall to the main hall, walked to Zhu Houzhao's bed and stood still, and then quietly looked at Zhu Houzhao's pale and gray face.
Liu Wentai, who was next to her, diligently opened the medical box she had brought with her, and the precious rosewood box contained forty-nine golden needles and many bottles and jars side by side, as well as several rare and precious medicinal materials in the world.
Tang Zihe's slender fingers gently picked up a golden needle, and the tip of the needle glowed with a cold light under the dim palace lamp. The golden needle stopped in mid-air and trembled slightly, showing the unrest in the heart of its owner at the moment.
She stared at Zhu Houzhao's face in a daze, and her beautiful eyes were constantly flashing with contradictions and struggles.
He and Qin Kan are not only seamless monarchs and ministers, but also close friends who have been with each other for more than ten years without reservation, he is not a good emperor, and can even be said to be a mediocre and absurd king, these years in addition to the conquest of Mongolia, there is no achievement, the reason why the Ming Dynasty is prosperous under his rule, all thanks to Qin Kan's painstaking management. He may be a rare friend. But he was by no means a competent emperor.
She and Zhu Houzhao should have been enemies who shared the sky, because the faint monarch did not deserve to own this splendid country.
Now the enemy is in sight, and it only takes a stitch to go down. No one can see the flaw. Zhu Houzhao couldn't have survived tonight. Even if she died, it was fate, and she could completely leave it alone.
However, he was Qin Kan's completely open-minded confidant in this life. Relatives who are closer than brothers, friends who don't need to defend each other, she can kill Zhu Houzhao without a trace in the face of the world's condemnation, but how can she face Qin Kan's disappointed and angry eyes?
The golden needle in his finger couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the cold light on the tip of the needle flickered, but Tang Zihe couldn't start.
She wanted to kill Zhu Houzhao, she really wanted to.
She was an orphan adopted by the elders of the White Lotus Sect, and she lived with the elders since she was a child, and the elders taught her to read and write, taught her the art of war, and taught her medical skills, acupuncture, and medicine. While the elders taught her these things, they were also brainwashing her, telling her who the enemy she had dealt with all her life, and that all the skills she had learned in this life were to kill this enemy, stir up the world, and replace him.
She obediently followed the elder's instructions to do, so Tianjin Xiangtang flourished, Bazhou ascended to the heights, gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to wreak havoc in the three provinces of the north, and the court fought for life and death, brilliant, but also failed, once high-spirited, once discouraged, experienced all kinds of ups and downs in life within a few years, the corpses of thousands of soldiers and people in Bazhou City finally made her give up her lifelong dream, not because of fear, but because of compassion and guilt.
Tired and enlightened, Tang Zihe repaid the debt for ten years for the thousands of corpses, and in the past ten years, she has saved thousands of lives, cause and effect are offset, and the crime has been eliminated, so the ambition quietly sprouts again, this time the ambition is not for herself, but for Qin Kan.
If one day, the man he loves in the yellow robe will reign in the world, creating a prosperous scene of the Tang and Song dynasties and the coming of all nations......
Tang Zihe trembled with excitement every time he thought of that picture.
At this moment, the golden needle is in hand, the enemy is half a step away from her, and a needle can cause chaos in the world, and she Tang Zihe will definitely push out her man with her own hands and be the hero who chases the lost deer.
However, when he thought of his handsome face that was disappointed, angry, and even murderous with himself after learning of Zhu Houzhao's death, the excitement and madness in Tang Zihe's eyes suddenly faded completely, and his beautiful eyes immediately regained their clarity.
He is a person who values love, with her understanding of Qin Kan, between the choice of power and love, he will inevitably choose love, even if one day Zhu Houzhao has suspicion of him, he will not fight, but silently pack up his belongings and fly away with his wife and children, love is more important in his heart than anything else.
This needle, Tang Zihe can't fall.
She is a demon with a natural backbone in the back of her head, but she is also a woman, a woman who is afraid of losing her husband's favor.
The main hall was silent, so quiet that you could hear everyone's nervous and anxious heartbeats.
Everyone looked at the golden needle in Tang Zihe's hand in amazement, and that needle not only decided the fate of His Majesty, but also their fate.
"Miss Tang, you ...... Isn't it time for a needle drop? Zhang Yong's voice was cautious, trembling with a little nervousness.
This needle has been in her hand for a small half column of incense, and it has not fallen for a long time, Zhang Yong can no longer bear this fear that is worse than death.
Struggle, hesitation, contradiction, just half a pillar of incense, Tang Zihe's back was unconsciously soaked in cold sweat, after hearing Zhang Yong's careful urging, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked, glanced back at him, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.
Taking a long breath, Tang Zihe gritted his teeth, saw the three acupoints on Zhu Houzhao's body, and quickly took out a dark red pill from his sleeve, and before everyone could react, he pinched Zhu Houzhao's mouth and stuffed the pill into his mouth.
Everyone gasped, their faces were extremely ugly, and Liu Wentai, who was sentenced by the Tai Hospital, was even weaker in his legs and sat on the ground.
It is easy to say that although the onlookers felt that the needle method was strange, they could basically understand the reason, but the pill that was quickly stuffed into His Majesty's mouth......
That's a dragon's mouth, without the inspection of the imperial doctors and eunuchs, how can all kinds of messy things be stuffed into it?
"You...... You ......" Liu Wentai was afraid and angry, trembling and pointing at Tang Zihe, speechless for a long time.
Tang Zihe snorted coldly: "What are you, he can't live tonight, is it necessary for me to kill him?" If you don't come up with a way to save his life within ten days, don't blame me at that time, I've done my best. ”
Zhang Yong and the others were overjoyed, and they were busy bowing to Tang Zihe to thank him.
Tang Zihe no longer looked at Zhu Houzhao lying on the bed, and only said lightly: "It is very dangerous for a drowning person to be rescued but not wake up, and his life has gone seven times out of ten stops, and whether he can wake up after ten days can only depend on his creation." ”
*******************************************************************
Outside the leopard room, in the pavilion on the east side of Xihua Pond.
Qin Kan's face was even more ugly than the dying Zhu Houzhao.
In the pavilion, Yang Tinghe's face was even more ugly than Qin Kan's.
One is the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, and the other is Ning Guogong, who is powerful and above tens of thousands of people, but at this moment, the two are like two fighting cocks fighting to the death, stubbornly stalking each other's necks and glaring at each other.
Yang Yiqing, Yan Song, Mu Bin and others in the pavilion rubbed their hands quite embarrassedly, and Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, crossed his legs and enjoyed the scenery outside the pavilion without caring about himself, and he didn't know what the old man could see in this place where the black lights were blind.
I don't know how long the confrontation lasted, Qin Kan's momentum suddenly declined, and he sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion tiredly, and sighed: "Your Majesty's breath is still there, and it has not yet been mourned, and the incident only happened in the evening, and you are just unconscious at the moment, but you are plotting to set up a new monarch, don't you think it's too early?" If there is really a ...... under His Majesty There is really an unspeakable pain, and it is not too late to convene the ministers and industry to discuss the new monarch at that time, so why do you have to discuss it at this time tonight, and clear the name of the bad people and ministers? ”
Yang Tinghe also sighed, and in the dark night, two lines of turbid tears could be faintly seen slipping down his eyes.
"Do you think the old man is willing to do this ruthless and bad thing? It's really the times that force it! His Majesty is different from the previous emperors, he has no heirs, this is a very fatal shortcoming, no heirs means that there is no inheritance, so the hearts of the subjects of the world are unstable, and it is very prone to turmoil, the world knows that His Majesty has no queen, once something happens to His Majesty, whether it is a vassal king, a grass coward, or a foreign enemy, how can ambitious people let go of this excellent opportunity? In the past two years, the most sparse courtiers are asking His Majesty to choose a concubine, just to let His Majesty reproduce the dragon vein, in order to calm the hearts of the people of the world, today His Majesty is unfortunately drowning, life and death are uncertain, and now it has been more than two hours since the incident, and the news must be impossible to hide, so we must hurry up before the whole world knows the new monarch and how to stabilize the situation in the court and the world, and also prepare for my own future, so as not to be caught ......off guard in the future."
Yang Tinghe stared at Qin Kan and said slowly: "There are many parties in the DPRK and China, tonight's incident happened suddenly, does Grandpa Qin think that there are only a few of us discussing the secluded and uninhabited place near the leopard room?" ”
Qin Kan was silent, and his gloomy face showed irritability and anger in his heart.
Yang Tinghe's words are reasonable, regardless of emotional factors, Yang Tinghe's words are the words of seeking the country, and there is nothing wrong with public or private, but Qin Kanda just doesn't want to talk about such a topic in his heart, he can't accept this kind of behavior as if arranging for Zhu Houzhao's aftermath, as soon as he thinks that Zhu Houzhao may die, his heart is like being pierced by a steel needle, and the pain is unbearable.
