Chapter 636: Poison at the Entrance

The only son ascended the throne as the emperor, but as the queen mother, she was so close to the prince who was crowned king by another grandfather's family with heavy troops, this is really wrong. Is it really a? Xu Hexiu twitched the corners of his mouth: If that's the case, it's really too messy!

calmed down a bit, Xu Hexiu continued to look at the next story she wrote from the wild history, this time it was not "The Inner Servant", but "Yongchang Age", compared to the "Inner Servant Experience" that was made up and hunted for countless curiosities, this "Yongchang Age" is obviously much more serious, and there is no such curiosity. Because the person who wrote this "Yongchang Year" is a lot more serious than the previous so-called inner servant, he is a small official who once wrote the emperor's living notes, and he has written the emperor's living notes for a few months, so although this "Yongchang Year" is a wild history, there are still many people who regard it as half a true history.

And the story that she deliberately picked out on the paper now tells that a few years before Emperor Yongchang abdicated, the queen succeeded the prince who was later named King An to her knees. The biological mother of King An was a little-known and talented person who died early, and Emperor Yongchang, who was still reigning at the time, was "very surprised", but in the end she was "persuaded" by the queen and agreed to this request. The author wrote this incident in order to reflect the "benevolence" of the queen, because he also deliberately wrote about King An's biological mother, that is, the little-known talent who helped the queen who almost fell down when she was slippery in the snow in winter, so the queen remembered it and did it deliberately.

Probably because of the first two stories, Xu Hexiu began to think deeply about every story she wrote.

The heavenly family also has a difference between the concubines, an ordinary King An became the emperor's son-in-law because of the queen's move, although it is not long, but I have to say that in this way, this King An can become the orthodox heir second only to the prince. In addition to writing this matter to express the queen's benevolence, he also deliberately added a comment to speculate: The prince had been hit by a hidden arrow by mistake because of hunting, although he finally caught a death row prisoner who intended to take revenge on the heavenly family, but many people felt that this matter was instigated by someone else. The queen may have been wary of the prince's previous conspiracy, and this little official felt that the queen should think that this move was done by the later Yongwang, so he deliberately succeeded King An in case the prince had an accident.

For the past 100 years ago? Speculation? Many things have long been unconsiderable, but the speculation in "Yongchang Age" is also completely tenable? After all, it's half a canonical history? So, until now? In Xu Hexiu's opinion, there is nothing wrong with this.

Can you put this story together with the story in the previous "Inside Servant"? It's a little meaningful.

Because you're looking into this case these days? Therefore, he has read the official history and the emperor's life notes during the Yongchang and Mingchang periods, and he also knows the final ending of King An, King Yong, and the crown prince at that time, and later Emperor Mingchang.

King An was caught in a trap by hunting shortly after being kneeled by the queen of his step, so that he fell into the problem of inconvenient legs and feet. Naturally, the dignified son of heaven could not choose a "sick" person, and King An lost the opportunity to inherit the throne. This matter was also picked up by her in "Yongchang Age"? It's written under this story. A book is naturally indispensable to the author's opinion? The little official who wrote "Yongchang Age" obviously felt that this matter was related to King Yong, and also hinted at it. Of course, this speculation also makes sense, after all, King An was succeeded and had an accident, and the biggest beneficiary of this matter is undoubtedly King Yong in the eyes of outsiders.

It's only so far that she's written these four stories? Xu Hexiu put down the page he had finished reading and knocked on Qiao Ran's table? Ask her, "What do you think?" ”

"What does she think?" The girl has been writing for a while, and she hasn't spoken yet? A voice rang out behind him.

Xu Hexiu, who had a familiar voice, didn't need to look back to know whose it was: what could it be if it wasn't him, Zhen Shiyuan?

"You don't want to lend her hand to help!" Zhen Shiyuan saw Xu Hexiu looking back at him, and coughed hurriedly? Remind him? "You and Xie Chengze are both friends of Zhang Jie? Don't make it difficult for her, check the case yourself! ”

Of course, she was embarrassed or not, Zhen Shiyuan didn't really care, what he cared about was the bet: after all, this group of rabbit cubs was able to eat some yesterday, and when he checked out, the Baishenglou couldn't close his mouth smiling from top to bottom, but his heart was dripping blood.

Probably because the account room had a good relationship with her, when he left, he also deliberately "tactfully" said: "My lord really has a group of good subordinates, and your Dali Temple can eat and do things at a glance." ”

Can you eat? This doesn't mean that the people in his Dali Temple eat a lot more, what else can it be? Zhen Shiyuan sighed with emotion: I have heard of playing with gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and painting to play poor, but the poor Sanpin master estimates that he is the only one in the entire court.

Therefore, this bet is still crucial.

was reprimanded by Zhen Shiyuan, Xu Hexiu's face turned red, and he hurriedly responded "I know that I was wrong", and did not ask Qiao Ran again, but thought deeply about the few pages that had only been written in his hand.

After thinking for a while, he seemed to remember something, and turned and went to the storeroom again.

After Xu Hexiu left, Zhen Shiyuan picked up the content written by the girl and read it, and after reading it, he couldn't help but knock on her table and said, "The content of this "Inner Servant" and "Yongchang Age" seem to be a little contradictory!" ”

Xu Hexiu couldn't discuss the case with her, but he could.

"Yongchang Age" obviously describes King Yong as the queen's worst enemy, but in the description of "Seeing and Hearing from the Inner Servant", the queen and King Yong seem to be very close, which seems to be unreasonable.

"It really doesn't make sense." The girl who was bowing her head and writing her pen did not raise her head, "If these things are true, there seems to be no reasonable explanation at first glance." ”

"yes!" Hearing this, Zhen Shiyuan instinctively nodded along with her words, and said, "Why is it that King Yong is the queen's biggest enemy for a while, and this pair of 'mother and son' have a very good relationship for a while." ”

"But there's a possibility that perfectly explains these two completely contradictory things." The girl said, put down the pen in her hand, rubbed her hands, and seemed to write a little sore.

Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly picked up a story she had just finished writing, and while blowing the ink that had not yet dried, she read it.

This story is not from "Inner Servant Experience" nor from "Yongchang Age", but from "Taiyi Codex", which was written by an old imperial doctor, who experienced Yongchang and Mingchang emperors when he was in the Taiyi Department.

This paragraph she picked out is a description of the maintenance soup recipe of the queen mother who lived in the harem after the death of Emperor Yongchang. Looking at a large number of drug names, Zhen Shiyuan only felt dizzy, and said in his heart: Except for this unforgettable person, there are few people who can completely remember these drug names except for those who understand medicine.

"My lord, you don't understand, do you?" The girl on the other side rubbed her hands for a while, as if she was comfortable, so she asked him with a smile.

Zhen Shiyuan raised his head and glanced at her dissatisfiedly: Is there anything bolder than her in this entire Dali Temple? How dare you run in front of him and laugh at him? Zhen Shiyuan snorted coldly, don't look over: Do you want an old face from him?

The girl seemed to realize the ambiguity in her words at this time, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, I didn't mean that. ”

What does it mean if it's not that? Zhen Shiyuan squinted at her.

The girl smiled, slid her hand over the names of the Chinese medicines on the paper, and said, "Skimming off the names of these unrecognizable medicines, and the names of medicines that are tonic at first glance, there are a few flavors in them, but there is something wrong with them, not quite like a tonic." ”

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her, looked down at the names of the Chinese medicines on the paper in his hand, and after slashing through the names of these medicines one by one, he paused and said, "Do you mean arsenic, grass black, and Chuanwu?" ”

He also doesn't know much about Chinese medicine, but he knows some "familiar" Chinese medicine names, because they appear in poisoning cases every day.

"However, medicine and poison are of the same origin, and the imperial doctor must have his own reasons for using drugs like this." Zhen Shiyuan thought for a while and said.

The girl was noncommittal, and only asked him: "Do you remember the death of Emperor Ming Chang?" ”

Without waiting for Zhen Shiyuan to think about it, she said to herself, "In official history, it is said that he suddenly suffered from a vicious disease, and he vomited blood and died several months before he died. And because he died too suddenly, he didn't leave an edict at all, and he didn't even set up a prince. ”

Zhen Shiyuan hadn't remembered this stubble yet, but he believed her words, so he simply thought for a moment according to what she said, and said, "Then this is really quite sudden, it is indeed possible to be such a vicious disease, but there are other possibilities." With that, he looked at the girl in front of him, waiting for her to say something else.

"It could also be poison." Qiao Ran said, "After all, the wise Emperor Ming Chang did not have a record of poor health and bones in official history, but hunted almost always and harvested. ”

Of course, every hunting has a harvest does not mean that the Emperor Ming Chang was a good hunter, after all, the hunting ground, who really dares to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Majesty the Emperor for prey?

But even if it doesn't mean that Emperor Mingchang is athletic, it at least proves that there is nothing wrong with Emperor Mingchang's body. Otherwise, running around in the hunting ground like this would have been a problem.

Therefore, the situation of Emperor Ming Chang, compared with the sudden evil disease, is also very likely to be poisoned.

Zhen Shiyuan obviously also thought of this stubble, and said to Qiao Ran: "But it is not easy to poison the emperor, especially since the things that the emperor eats are tried by someone." If it is poisonous, the father-in-law around Emperor Ming Chang should have similar symptoms, but in fact, this father-in-law stayed in the palace for nearly ten years after the new monarch ascended the throne before leaving the palace to recuperate. ”

"Then it could be that the poison wasn't ingested through food." Qiao Ran said and picked up the pen again and wrote, "Although Emperor Mingchang was a hard-working emperor back then, whether it was for the heirs or what, although there were not many concubines in the harem, there were still some, and the most favored one was not the queen of Emperor Mingchang, but the virtuous concubine. ”

"Emperor Mingchang died suddenly, leaving two sons, one is the queen's royal highness, that is, His Majesty's grandfather, and the other son is the concubine Xian, who was crowned the king early, that is, the grandfather of the princess Zhenzhen who has only returned to Beijing now."

When Zhen Shiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but skip a beat, and said secretly: He has never seen any real princess or fake princess, but he has heard his colleagues mention this real princess, especially this real princess is also involved with Zhang Jie, so as to listen more. Originally, he was thinking about when to talk to her, but now it seems that the woman's speed of awareness of this aspect is indeed very fast, just like his wife.

"Emperor Mingchang died young, but the Queen Mother is still alive, and the queen is fine, but the virtuous concubine suddenly vomited blood and died in April after the accident of Emperor Mingchang. Qiao Ran paused here before continuing, "Although one is called a sudden evil disease in the official history, and the other is called a sad mourning in the wild history, they are the same vomiting blood and dying, my lord, do you think this is a coincidence?" ”

There are countless possibilities that can cause vomiting blood and die, and neither of these can be miscalculated. What's more, they are facing a hundred years ago at this time, even the records in the palace may not be there, not to mention that after the death of Emperor Mingchang, the Queen Mother is still alive. There were courtiers in the previous dynasty, but in the harem, there was no doubt that the biggest one at that time was the queen mother.

For the Queen Mother, it is obviously easy to erase any traces.

said it so clearly, Zhen Shiyuan had already understood what she meant, and he thought for a while before he said to Qiao Ran: "I understand what you mean, Concubine Xian and Emperor Ming Chang may have been poisoned by the same kind and died, but how did the murderer do it?" "You must know that although Concubine Xian is not the Son of Heaven, she is also a very favored concubine in the palace, and there are also people who try the dishes for the entrance things, and Concubine Xian and Emperor Mingchang did not die violently at the same time, and Concubine Xian is still after Emperor Mingchang, why is this?

Of course, what puzzled him even more was how Emperor Ming Chang and Concubine Xian swallowed the poison into their stomachs.

The girl smiled at this and said to Zhen Shiyuan: "In fact, I reminded me of this kind of thing, and the adults will understand." ”

She's going to sell off again! Zhen Shiyuan snorted in his heart, and the corner of his eyes swept to Pei Qingqing, who was sitting on the chair, was also holding his cheeks and listening seriously at this time, and the half-bitten peach cake had been in his hand for a while, obviously he was also fascinated by it and forgot to eat it.

"Tell me about it!" Zhen Shiyuan said busily.

The girl smiled at him, and suddenly pointed to her lips and said to Zhen Shiyuan: "Lord Zhen, did the fat on Madame's lips eat more by herself or do you eat more?" ”
