Chapter 50: Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger
The emperor looked at Li Yu and asked, "Who made today's dipping sauce from the imperial dining room?" ”
Li Yu immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, it's the imperial chef Dai Maoxing." ”
Fortunately, I saw that the situation was not right just now, and when I went to ask for a doctor, I had already trapped the people in the imperial dining room. Sure enough, the emperor will definitely investigate this matter to the end.
The emperor said: "Hold people up, and all those who have come into contact with the dipping sauce today must be questioned one by one." Today's events are to be judged by the crime of killing kings. ”
"Huh." Li Yu immediately went to deliver the decree.
The crime of killing the monarch is a major crime of killing the heads of the nine clans.
When the guards with swords surrounded the imperial dining room, everyone began to cry and cry out for injustice, but they were all escorted away in the end.
The emperor sent Yingyun back to the dormitory, Yingyun took the medicine, the abdominal pain was relieved a little, and she fell asleep in a daze.
At dusk, Li Yu bowed down and entered the hall to return to his life.
The emperor glanced at the sleeping Ying Yun and motioned for Li Yu to go outside to speak.
Li Yu lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the people in the imperial dining room have all checked it, and their confessions are all consistent. Because he knew that the emperor could not eat peanuts, the imperial dining room would never have peanuts. Dai Maoxing has just arrived in the imperial dining room, and he is good at seasoning, so he handled the peanut dipping sauce on this plate alone. ”
The emperor looked far-sighted and asked, "People, have you been tried?" ”
Li Yu nodded and said, "It's been tried." According to him, the peanut butter was kept by him privately, perhaps because it was not stored properly, which caused the peanuts to become moldy, and he repeatedly stressed that it was an unintentional mistake. ”
The emperor said coldly and angrily: "Even if he is new to the imperial dining room, but my dietary taboos, hasn't he memorized it clearly?" Why are peanuts on the table? ”
Li Yu replied in a trembling voice: "The emperor is angry, the ancestral skill of the Dai family is to prepare peanut butter, which is very famous in the Jianghuai generation. But after he entered the palace, he knew that the emperor couldn't eat it, and he regretted it. It's rare for the queen to have a meal with the emperor today, and he selfishly thinks that he will give the queen a taste, maybe he can be reused and promoted. He also specially explained to the eunuchs who served the food, and the peanuts were exclusively for the queen to enjoy. ”
The emperor's face was very bad, and he stood with his hands in his hands, and the air suddenly seemed to freeze.
Li Yu hesitated, and then said, "There is one more thing...... Dai Maoxing knew that he had caused a big disaster, and he was afraid that he would be connected to the whole clan, and he was already ...... He bit his tongue and committed suicide in prison. ”
The Emperor remained silent.
Li Yu asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what should Dai Maoxing's relatives do?" ”
The peanut butter incident, with Dai Maoxing's suicide, also became a headless case. Whether it was his unintentional mistake, or whether someone deliberately did it, there is no way to find out now.
However, the imperial diet is related to the emperor's dietary safety, and there is no room for sloppiness and luck. Even if Dai Maoxing didn't deliberately poison him, he couldn't help the atmosphere of knowingly committing crimes for the sake of his career.
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he said: "Spread the decree, Dai Maoxing was derelict in his duties in the imperial dining room, beheaded to show the public, and punished the three clans of the Dai clan." ”
"Huh." Li Yu retreated in panic.
The royal errand, although it is the supreme glory, but it is also the head in the hand at all times, not paying attention, just like today's disaster.
In the end, the emperor did not punish him for the crime of killing the king, which can be regarded as an open side, but the people of the three clans of the Dai family were all implicated in this disaster, which is also sad and lamentable.
Li Yu stood in the wind outside the hall for a while, and sighed lightly, accompanying you like a tiger!
