Chapter 396: Danger Signals
Kan Xin is checking himself? Zhu Yonghao couldn't help but panic.
"What?"
"Yes. His Royal Highness's property, His Royal Highness's friendships, His Royal Highness's past positions, the backgrounds and contacts of everyone in the Prince's Mansion, and even the slaves are all being checked. ”
"Secret investigation?"
"Yes, it's just a secret investigation."
"I'm not going to do anything, I'm just collecting evidence, right?"
"Yes." The man nodded. "In addition, the old clan led by the Chang family also seems to have some changes."
"Be clear."
"At noon today, Zhao Ge secretly took a small sedan chair to Chang's house. It took an hour to come out. ”
"That father-in-law of Zhu Yongtai?"
"Yes."
Zhu Yonghao panicked.
It's not that I'm afraid of being found out, but the signals sent by these various movements are dangerous. The old eight forces represented by Zhao Ge, the old guy has always been cautious, and he suddenly dispatched at this time, and the contact was still the Chang family, who had just torn his face with him, and obviously wanted to take action and plot.
No, no!
Suddenly, there are so many abnormalities, there must be something wrong with my father!
He had to figure it out.
So......
Zhu Yonghao received news again, it was from the queen. said that the Imperial Forest Army in the palace was suspected of investigating her. Even Zhu Yonglin's biological mother, Xin Guifei, was searched in the palace for a trumped-up "theft".
In this way, Zhu Yonghao felt that his eyebrows were burning even more.
"Find someone to keep an eye on my father's side. As soon as there is news, hurry up and report it. ”
"Find someone to go to Yan's house, and let the old man keep an eye on the external situation."
"Let our people be cautious in everything, strictly check the prince's mansion, and be careful of being mixed in."
"Go back to Beijing and find a doctor who can use it!" In this way, if you find your father's medicine residue, you will probably be able to determine your father's condition.
Can...... How so?
Yesterday, my father was still alive, why was he stung by a poisonous insect and couldn't do it? He still couldn't believe it.
However, he immediately received another message.
Zhu Yongze was summoned by the emperor.
said that he went cautiously, but returned with a bitter face, and then was surrounded by a group of forbidden soldiers into the mountain.
I heard that two hours later, when they went out of the mountain, they brought a lot of bottles and cans with them. Some people say that it is full of poisonous insects. There are also rumors that Zhu Yongze went up the mountain to find the worm that bit the emperor, and then they found the worm and came back to test the poison.
So, my father was really bitten by an insect?
Zhu Yonghao, who was worried about everything, received news from the person he had planted in the paddock, saying that Zhu Yongze and the others had sneaked into the forest soon after they went up the mountain, changed into the protective clothes and pants worn by the beekeeper, and also wore an iron veil mask. After descending the mountain, they also deliberately went to the forest to change their outfits, pretending that they were fine......
The rumors should be true, and they probably went up the mountain to catch insects.
Zhu Yonghao could only take a deep breath when he heard this.
It's true! It's true!
It's really not a wind chill! It's really a bug bite!
How can ordinary insects be so troublesome, how can Zhu Yongze go to this trip in person, why do you need a protective mask, obviously it is really a poisonous insect.
If his father's injuries are not serious, why hide it? There is only one possibility: it is very serious, and I am afraid of chaos, so I hide it and cover it up.
And the news that made him even more anxious came: it was said that an assassin had sneaked into the palace, and the forbidden army had ordered people to escape after some pursuit, so from this moment on, an investigation would be carried out. No one in the palace was allowed to enter or leave unless they had a warrant from the Holy Lord.
Obviously, the so-called "assassins" are just talking heads, and controlling speech and stabilizing the situation is the key. Most of the princes are in the palace, are they afraid that once the news leaks, the princes will contact the capital and fight with the family forces?
Can be capable of fighting...... Isn't it just him and the eighth?
He is the crown prince, so at this time, it is right to find him to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the situation, right? Unless......
Unless he wasn't in his father's consideration. Unless otherwise arranged by my father! Unless the person my father wants to prevent and control is him!
The more Zhu Yonghao thought about it, the more anxious he became.
Isn't it?
Look, after being forbidden to enter and exit, not only could the doctors he wanted to transfer not come in, but he also couldn't receive and spread the news from Beijing......
He went to visit the emperor again, but was still stopped.
But when he turned around, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Zhu Yongtai in the hall.
How so? The eighth was summoned?
He asked Father-in-law Shun, but the dead eunuch bluntly said that he was dazzled.
Dazzling?
Zhu Yonghao went to Zhu Yongtai's residence.
Zhu Yongtai was really not there.
After inquiry, Zhu Yongtai's cronies said that he had gone out for a walk.
But when he asked the specific location, the other party couldn't say.
"Then I'm waiting here for the eighth brother." Zhu Yonghao is controlled everywhere, and at this moment, he can only use such a stupid method to infer the situation of his father.
As a result, he waited for a full hour before Zhu Yongtai came back.
"I just saw the eighth brother at my father's place."
"Brother Huang is dazzled." Zhu Yongtai smiled and said that he went to visit Zhu Chengyi.
"The eighth brother has a good relationship with the son."
"Definitely. The pillars of the princely country, we, as princes, should treat them well. Zhu Yongtai's waist is straight, and his confidence is completely different from usual.
"The eighth brother looks like a representative of the royal family! I don't know, I thought the eighth brother was the prince. ”
"Don't dare."
Zhu Yonghao snorted and left.
His people have been staring at Zhu Chengyi, and when they asked, they knew that the eighth child had never been there at all. And the person who was staring at the emperor came to report that not long ago, the king of Thailand came out of the small door of the emperor's apse.
Zhu Yonghao took a deep breath again.
The father only summoned the eighth child, and the time was one or two hours, and the key matter was kept secret.
Is it really going to be windy?
"What about the other princes?"
"None of them."
"Keep watching."
"Yes!"
It was getting dark, and another day passed.
Zhu Yonghao became more and more uncertain.
He could feel that he was getting more and more risky at the moment.
If he continues to wait like this, in case his father is really in danger, he who is imprisoned in this world will not be able to bear the consequences. No matter how big the backer behind him is, no matter how strong his ability is, no one can save him. This is not only an opportunity but also a crisis, once he misses the opportunity to take the position, he will never be able to make up for it, and he will never recover.
But if he disobeys the emperor's orders, and his father is not as serious as he imagined, the consequences will be terrible.
There were risks both horizontally and vertically, and after some consideration, he decided that he still couldn't sit still. At the very least, the facts still have to be clarified, and the preparation still needs to be done!
What else does he have to worry about?
Guo Pin's matter will definitely be investigated after he goes back, and the Chang family's matter is not over yet, his father must explain to the Chang family, and what awaits him after returning to Beijing is a punishment......
It's better to fight, not to be coaxed, maybe it's done?
It's better to be wrong than to leak, who told him that he can't afford to lose?
Zhu Yonghao was calculating and couldn't sleep.
"Master!" At three o'clock, the next person came to report. "There's news. Father-in-law Shun had just sneaked back into his house, and our people took a look. ”
It turned out that Zhu Yonghao had arranged manpower in the palace early in the morning. Although his people entered the emperor's residence, they could not touch the medicine or get the dregs. The process of dispensing and boiling medicine is completed by the imperial doctor himself, and the handling of medicine residue and other affairs are all done by Shun Gonggong himself.
So his people retreated and simply stared at Junzi secretly.
After the time, Junko withdrew from the emperor's side with a burden.
His appearance is cautious and distinctly eccentric.
Staring at Junko, the guy smelled smoke wafting from the house. He had already visited the Shunko House and knew that there was a charcoal stove inside. In such weather, you can't burn charcoal, so it can only be that the straight has something to burn. What is to be destroyed is naturally a secret. Must check.
So, he played the trick.
Not far from the periphery of Shun's father-in-law's house, he hit a stone with his internal force, and asked a waiter on night duty to drop a dog to eat, and the copper basin on the elevated side also fell down and sprinkled a lot of water.
The movement was too loud, and the father-in-law Shun in the house was startled, and he didn't have time to pack up the things in the house, so he hurriedly pulled the door and ran out.
Seeing Father-in-law Shun come out, Zhu Yonghao's people over there opened the window of smoke from behind and jumped in. At a glance, Father-in-law Shun was really burning things. There was already a lot of ash in the stove, and it seemed that there was still a lot to burn.
Look again, what is piled up on the stove at this moment is actually a middle coat with auspicious clouds on the cuffs.
After a quick shake, he found that most of the burned middle clothes were faintly visible with bloodstains.
He quickly tore off a small piece of bloody satin and stuffed it into his coat, and found a food box on the floor by the fire.
Thanks to his sharp eyes and cleverness, he opened his hand, and there was medicine residue inside.
It didn't take much effort to get it, and obviously it was going to be burned as well.
He quickly grabbed a handful of medicine residue and left.
Shunzi, who came back after scolding a few words, didn't know that anyone had come, and continued to burn his things......
At this moment, Zhu Yonghao was holding the bloody piece of cloth, and his hands trembled slightly.
The average person can't see it, but he can tell the fabric at a glance. Suzhou weaving is the favorite material worn by the father. According to his subordinates, the position of this cloth is in the placket. So, my father vomited blood.
Is it so serious?
There was a knock on the door of his room, and an attendant came in, kneeling and kowtowing to him.
This chamberlain was disguised by his doctor.
Zhu Yonghao thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still felt that he couldn't sit still. So, he used his contacts in the paddock to find an entrance to get in and out. This doctor came from Beijing overnight.
This doctor is not ordinary, he has always been a famous doctor, and he has been his confidant for many years.
"The blood is black, and it looks like poison." After the doctor said this, he got silver needles and powder. As a result, both the silver needle and the powder were discolored.
"It's poison. It's still very special poison. After tinkering for a while, the doctor said.
Zhu Yonghao took a deep breath.
"Could it be a poisonous insect bite?"
"It's possible." He couldn't tell what kind of poison it was for a while, so it was naturally possible.
The doctor took the residue and studied it again.
"The residue is also poisonous."
"What?" Zhu Yonghao was stunned, and the cups fell to the ground. So, wasn't my father bitten by a poisonous insect, but was he poisoned? Could it be the eighth? So, the eighth is ready?
In a hurry, he got up and stood up to face the doctor.
"Your Highness, don't be nervous. This poison should not be harmful, but a treatment method of the imperial doctor. Fighting poison with poison is used to force poison. ”
Zhu Yonghao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"However, these drugs are very strong and toxic. From this point of view, the condition of the poisoned person is only afraid of being mild. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! And judging from this mouthful of blood, it is obvious that the effect of this prescription is not very good. I'm afraid that the imperial doctors are also trying this prescription. ”
Zhu Yonghao suddenly thought of Zhu Yongze going up the mountain to catch insects.
It's all right.
No wonder before dinner, his people came with the news that there were rats in the emperor's palace, so someone went to catch a lot of cats and dogs.
My father was poisoned, and he couldn't get rid of it for a while. So I had to ask Zhu Yongze to catch the same insects for experiments, and those cats and dogs are likely to be the first batch of animals to test toxicity, study antidotes and detect drug properties.
And so far, apparently they don't have a good idea.
"In your opinion, if you can't cure the poison, what will happen to the poisoned person?" In fact, Zhu Yonghao only cares about this one.
"Xu Hui will take his life."
"Detoxified......"
"I'm just afraid...... The situation is still worrying. ”
"Tell me more."
"Because detoxification drugs also contain poison, even if they can be successfully detoxified, some of these drugs will inevitably enter the human body. This is very harmful to the body. Therefore, after detoxification, the body still needs a long time to detoxify, and even if it can be cured, it is difficult to return to normal. The subordinates are also domineering when they look at the poison of detoxification, but they are afraid that they are not optimistic. Like the end of the crossbow, just delay. "The truth is that what he wants to say is that he is still breathing.
Zhu Yonghao was not only frightened, but also a little excited.
Daddy is dying. He had been secretly looking forward to it for many years, and this wish was finally about to come true.
However, this great good thing is accompanied by some crises.
This is the time...... It's really not good!
"Can the detoxification be successful, in your opinion, can we see it in these two days?"
"Yes. Although the subordinates did not see the situation of the poisoned person with their own eyes, they only saw that the other party had used such a wolf and tiger medicine to clear the poison, which showed that the other party was helpless. "A dead horse is just a live horse doctor.
The doctor knelt down.
"If the inference is good, the other party has no countermeasures, and that person is only afraid that it will be within three days. Your Highness should make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"Yes...... Mr. Gu felt a little uneasy. ”
"It's not impossible. If His Royal Highness has any scruples, it is better to stare at it and see when the other party starts to stew ginseng soup, then it should be the end of the day. ”
"Why?"
"Ginseng is the king of great supplements. But the poisoned person has the disease of vomiting blood, which should be due to the poison and dryness, and the use of ginseng at this time is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. In addition, ginseng anti-urisis is also the opposite for detoxifiers. Therefore, once the other party starts to use ginseng, nine times out of ten it is time to be terminally ill, the medicine stone has no spirit, and it is time to use ginseng to continue his life. ”
Zhu Yonghao exhaled heavily.
It's simple.
There is a palace maid he installed in his father's place. Although his people have no access to food and medicine, they can see it. Although the imperial doctors boiled the medicine and tucked it away, the medicinal materials did not seem to be hidden.
He can keep an eye on this.
At the end of the ugly moment, he received news again.
There are signs that the defense of Kyochung has become stricter. The same is true in the palace. The number of palace guards is obviously increasing.
In addition, it was said that the news from the paddock had been sent to Zhao Ge's hometown, asking him to come over tomorrow morning to gather around the saint.
Zhu Yonghao's heart was full of sighs again.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has been stable for more than 100 years. In the early years, there were seven members in the cabinet, but by the time of the first emperor, it was reduced to five.
At the moment, too.
The cabinet of five people, the emperor has summoned two people yesterday, if you add Zhao Ge Lao, who has already stood for the eighth child, doesn't it mean that no matter what the father wants to do, he already has three votes.
Red flag!
