Chapter 1018: What a big black cauldron!
Several people on the side listened to Duan Jue's words and looked at Duan Jue with a foolish gaze, and even Zhao Zhong glanced at Duan Jue and said: "You can't be a fool when He Jin is a fool, I'm afraid that we will lure him into the palace here, and then his henchmen will lead a large army to attack the palace." ”
Listening to Duan Qi and Zhang Rang's argument, he couldn't come up with an idea at all, Liu Hong, who was leaning on the bed, turned pale and terrible, waved his hand and said, "You all stand down, I will be quiet alone." ”
Several people glanced at each other, bowed to the Son of Heaven and retreated.
A carriage galloped away to the Beijing Division, and went straight to the campus of the Eighth School of the West Garden.
In the camp of the Eighth School of the West Garden, Chu Yi was handling military affairs in the camp tent when he saw a figure hurriedly breaking into the camp tent, and Chu Yi could guess who was coming without looking up.
Except for Jian Shuo, there are really few people in this military camp who dare to trespass on his tent like this.
Putting down the brush in his hand, Chu Yi looked up at Jian Shuo and said, "Brother Jian came in such a hurry, could it be that there is something urgent?" ”
Taking a slight breath, Jian Shuo sat opposite Chu Yi and glanced at Chu Yi and said, "General He Jin has attacked His Majesty." ”
Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, glanced at Jian Shuo in surprise, and subconsciously said, "Could it be that the general is in trouble?" ”
Jian Shuo shook his head and said: "That's not it, but today He entered the palace and bluntly said that he wanted His Majesty to elect the prince as the crown prince, and said that if His Majesty did not agree, then he would unite a group of civil and military officials in the court to jointly write a letter tomorrow morning." ”
Chu Yi showed a little surprise, to be honest, Chu Yi was really a little surprised by He Jin's actions, after all, if He Jin really had such determination and courage, then it would be impossible for him to be beheaded by Zhang in the future.
But this time, if it is really as Jian Shuo said, He Jin dares to threaten the Son of Heaven, then it can only be said that things have changed that he does not know.
In fact, what Chu Yi didn't know was that the reason why He Jin was so crazy, and even some of the dogs jumped off the wall in a hurry, was entirely because of him.
If he didn't get in, even if the Eighth School of Xiyuan couldn't be completely in the hands of He Jin, at least it wouldn't be used by the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven didn't have a trustworthy army to call in Beijing, so he naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
However, this time Chu Yi took control of the Eighth School of the West Garden, which means that as soon as the Son of Heaven gave an order, there were tens of thousands of troops to use for him, and with such a powerful arm, if Liu Hong wanted to do something, it was really not a difficult thing.
As the son of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong has a righteous reputation in his primitiveness, and if there are soldiers and horses for his use, then it is not difficult to do anything to He Jin's party.
And He Jin was worried about this, so he took the lead in attacking the Son of Heaven.
Looking at Chu Yi, Jian Shuo said with a worried face: "Your Majesty has now been bedridden by He Jin, if you don't want to do it again, unless Your Majesty turns his face with the general, otherwise, I'm afraid I will really be forced to make the prince the crown prince." ”
A hand lightly tapped on the table, Chu Yi's thoughts flew in his mind, and suddenly a gleam flashed in his eyes staring at Jian Shuo and said, "Who is serving by Your Majesty's side now?" ”
Jian Shuo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Chu Yi ask like this, and subconsciously shook his head and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to retreat temporarily, and now Your Majesty should be serving by those few close little yellow doors......
Saying that, Jian Shuo seemed to understand something, his face showed a little shock, and he even stood up all of a sudden, and exclaimed, "You...... You won't be worried that He Jin wants to kill the king, right? ”
Chu Yi's face was full of righteousness and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I'm worried about He Jin's killing of the king, but looking at He Jin's actions, if he has the opportunity, he may not be willing to fight, don't forget, Your Majesty is now terminally ill, even if he dies suddenly, I am afraid that not many people will suspect it in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty......"
Jian Shuo was really loyal to Liu Hong, and when he heard Chu Yi say this, he immediately strode towards the outside of the tent and said, "No, I have to rush back to the palace, Your Majesty must not have an accident!" ”
Jian Shuo didn't even care about taking the carriage, and directly ran the cultivation to hurry, with the cultivation of Jian Shuo Tianjun level, it was just half a cup of tea, and Jian Shuo appeared in the palace.
Outside the main hall, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were busy discussing Liu Hong's condition with the imperial doctor, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw Jian Shuo coming in a hurry and even broke into the Son of Heaven's bedroom.
Zhang Rang, who reacted, hurriedly stepped out and grabbed Jian Shuo and said: "Jian Shuo, Your Majesty wants to be quiet, you break in like this, aren't you afraid of disturbing Your Majesty's purity!" ”
Jian Shuo's heart was full of thoughts about the safety of the Son of Heaven at this time, and he said while opening his eyes and pulling Zhang Rang: "I must see Your Majesty, we will leave Your Majesty alone in the palace, in case there is any accident, who can afford this responsibility, you, or me......"
Hearing Jian Shuo say this, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were not fools, and their faces immediately changed, and the two of them broke into the Son of Heaven's bedroom almost one step faster than Jian Shuo.
The dormitory was quiet, and the faint sandalwood suppressed the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the dormitory, but I don't know why, when they walked into the dormitory, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were full of ominous feelings in their hearts.
After glancing at each other, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong appeared in front of Liu Hong's bed almost for the first time, and when they looked at it, the two of them suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and almost instantly their bodies were weak and slumped on the edge of the bed.
"It's over, it's all over!"
"Your Majesty......"
Jian Shuo took a step slower, and before he could see the situation on the bed clearly, he saw Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong lying softly on the edge of the bed, and his heart suddenly chuckled, and his heart sank.
Strode forward and only glanced at it, and Jian Shuo's body couldn't help shaking, with a look of horror on his face.
On the bed, Liu Hong's eyes were wide open, black blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and even exuded a faint fishy smell, and he could see at a glance that this was highly poisonous.
Trembling hands on Liu Hong's wrist, Jian Shuo held one in ten thousand hopes, but what made Jian Shuo feel desperate was that although Liu Hong said that his wrist still had residual warmth, he had already lost his pulse, which means that Liu Hong had returned to heaven at this time, and even if there was an elixir, it would be difficult to save Liu Hong's life.
"He Jin, you are so vicious!"
With a low shout, Jian Shuo's face was full of anger, only to let Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong come back to their senses, and they heard Jian Shuo shouting He Jin's name, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were not fools, and they reacted immediately.
Although they still feel a little unbelievable that the Son of Heaven was poisoned, thinking of He Jin's actions today, they have to suspect that the death of the Son of Heaven was instigated by He Jin.
Zhao Zhong took a deep breath and said, "Quick check, where are Hu Li and the others today." ”
Hu Li's few little yellow men are the attendants who stayed to take care of the Son of Heaven's daily life, after all, Liu Hong can't walk, and it is very difficult to move, so there must be someone to serve by his side.
Previously, Liu Hong drove away Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, but there were personal attendants left to serve.
The one who was able to poison Liu Hong at this time, except for those personal attendants, was really unlikely to be anyone else.
Soon, Zhao Zhong and Zhang let them find several corpses behind the screen next to the bed of the Son of Heaven, one of these corpses was half leaning on the screen, and black blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the other chamberlains were twisted off their heads with a shocked expression.
Just looking at this situation, Jian Shuo almost gritted his teeth and said: "Hu Li, it turned out to be him, I didn't expect him to be He Jin's dead soldier!" ”
The little yellow door who committed suicide by poisoning was Hu Li, even Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong did not expect that it would be Hu Li, a personal servant trusted by the Son of Heaven, who poisoned the Son of Heaven.
You must know that even they sometimes have to give Hu Li a little thin face, which shows Hu Li's status next to the Son of Heaven, but it was this Hu Li, who was deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, who poisoned the Son of Heaven with his own hands.
Just when Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang, and Jian Shuo were shocked in their hearts, they saw a figure coming in a hurry, and their faces were full of horror and ran to the side: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good!" ”
Duan Jue's figure appeared in the sight of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and Duan Jue showed a little joy on his face when he saw Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong: "You guys are so good here, He Jin, He Jin He actually brought people into the palace, he is going to rebel!" ”
Saying that, Duan Jue looked at the bed and said, "Your Majesty, He Jin wants to rebel......
The next moment, Duan Jue seemed to have seen a ghost, his voice stopped abruptly, he took a few steps back, sat on the ground, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, he ......"
Obviously, Duan Jue saw Liu Hong's dead look, and he was so frightened for a moment that he lost his mind, and the powerhouses of the realm of the dignified Heavenly Master couldn't stand on their feet and sat on the ground.
Glancing at each other, Zhang Rang took a deep breath and said, "Don't let He Jin and them break in, if they see Your Majesty's situation, I'm afraid we will die and have no place to be buried." ”
Zhao Zhong also reacted, why did He Jin suddenly bring someone to break into the palace at this time, obviously the poisoning of the Son of Heaven was definitely arranged by He Jin, so He Jin would get the news as soon as possible and have the courage to lead someone into the palace.
And what is the purpose of He Jin bringing people here at this time, which has to make Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong think deeply.
Determining the death of the Son of Heaven must be the first place, but the death of the Son of Heaven must have an explanation, if they were He Jin, they would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to poison the Son of Heaven directly on them.
Thinking of this, both Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang panicked, the Son of Heaven was dead, and obviously died of poisoning, so even if they were covered with mouths, I am afraid that they would not be able to tell.
Even they could already imagine that He Jin and the others must have prepared the so-called evidence to prove that the Son of Heaven was poisoned by their ten permanent servants, and when the time came, with the name of righteousness, they could easily be put to death.
"Queen, for today's plan, the queen of freedom who can save us, go and beg the queen!"
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Duan Jue went straight to the queen's dormitory as if they had grasped the last straw, and for a while, Jian Shuo was the only one left in the dormitory.
Jian Shuo was not as busy as Zhang asked the queen to save his life, but stepped forward to sort out the remains of the Son of Heaven, because he was poisoned, it can be seen that Liu Hong must have suffered a lot of pain before he died, his face looked a little hideous, and his hands were clenched into fists, it was difficult to associate it with the supreme Son of Heaven.
"Huh?"
With a low shout, Jian Shuo noticed that there seemed to be something in Liu Hong's clenched fist, seeing this situation, Jian Shuo carefully broke Liu Hong's hand away, fortunately Liu Hong's body was not stiff at this time, and when he broke Liu Hong's fist, Jian Shuo saw a jade pendant in his palm.
Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Jian Shuo glanced at it, and saw that the jade pendant was engraved with a co-word, seeing this jade pendant, Jian Shuo's expression immediately changed, this jade pendant He is naturally no stranger, it is clearly a personal thing given by the Son of Heaven to the prince association, and it can almost be said to be a token of the prince association.
"He Jin, who is so vicious, refuses to even let go of the Prince Association?"
Obviously, if He Jin and others found this jade pendant in the hands of the Son of Heaven, then it would be completely possible to slander that it was the Prince Association who poisoned the Son of Heaven, and this jade pendant can be said to be evidence.
But for the mind of the Son of Heaven, Jian Shuo knows a lot, but it can even be said that the formation of the Eight Schools of the West Garden is the preparation of the Son of Heaven for the election of the Prince Association as the Son of Heaven, as for the Prince Association to poison the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that few people will believe it even in the Manchu Dynasty.
The prince really poisoned the Son of Heaven, which was basically to distinguish the prince and clear the obstacles for the general He Jin.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Shuo held the jade pendant in his hand, bowed to the body of the Son of Heaven, and said with a look of determination in his eyes, "Your Majesty, you have a spirit in the sky, please bless Jian Shuo to successfully support the prince of Xie's ascension to the throne." ”
After worshipping the body of the Son of Heaven, Jian Shuo immediately left the Son of Heaven's dormitory, disagreeing with Zhang Rang and Mr. Zhao and running to the queen's bedroom, while Jian Shuo quietly left the palace and went to the eighth school of the West Garden.
Just when Jian Shuo left less than dozens of breaths, he heard a noisy footsteps, led by the general He Jin, the three princes and nine kings came most of the time, and the northern sergeants in armor were guarding outside the palace of the Son of Heaven.
Seeing that the general He Jin and several ministers broke into the palace of the Son of Heaven, he heard He Jin say respectfully: "Minister He Jin was shocked to hear that the eunuch wanted to harm the Son of Heaven, so he specially led the army to escort him, and asked His Majesty to see him." ”
"Your Majesty begs you to see you!"
Quietly in the dormitory, He Jin bowed in the direction of the bed again and said, "The minister begs Your Majesty to give you a meeting." ”
At this time, Yuan Huai frowned and said, "No, why didn't Your Majesty react." ”
Saying that, Yuan Huai said to He Jin: "General, let the old man go to visit Your Majesty." ”
He Jin nodded slightly and said, "So there is Lao Yuangong!" ”
Yuan Huai straightened his clothes, slowly walked to the bed, crossed a screen, Yuan Huai bowed down and bowed: Minister Yuan Huai disturbed Your Majesty, I am terrified, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness.
However, there was still no movement on the bed, so Yuan Huai slowly looked up, and at a glance, he heard Yuan Huai exclaim: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"
He Jin and the others, who were waiting outside the screen, immediately broke in when they heard Yuan Huai's exclamations, and at a glance, they all showed shock and anger.
"Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, you are so bold that you dare to poison the Son of Heaven......"
He Jin smashed the screen with a slap, his face was angry, and he roared angrily as if he wanted to kill.
