Chapter 271: Lord Zhao died of poison
The sound of people passing by was running away as fast as they could.
The fact that the ministers were poisoned was a secret, and it was publicized to the outside world that they had come to the Xishan Courtyard to discuss matters, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.
Now there is such a voice coming out of this Xishan Annex, and it is rumored that there are ghosts in the Xishan Courtyard, which often frightens the ministers inside to cry wolves.
This rumor became more and more exaggerated, and later, it was rumored that these ghosts were ghosts of the royal unjust death.
The so-called ghost of the royal unjust death is just an allusion to the former crown prince.
Today, the emperor can sit in this position, and he has also experienced a fighting and gladiatorial battle.
The original crown prince of the former emperor was someone else, and the former prince was upright and very capable.
However, when the first emperor went to the fairy, he was doing business in the field, and he didn't have time to return to Beijing.
The person the former emperor saw before his death was the current emperor, and the current emperor was decisive in killing, gathered his own power, and did not let the former prince enter Beijing.
And after passing the emperor's edict, the former prince was beheaded in front of the city gate.
The edict said that the former prince formed a party for personal gain, intending to rebel, so that the current emperor could succeed to the throne as soon as possible and dispose of the former prince.
This edict is said to have been dictated by the emperor in front of the courtiers, written by the chief of Ouchi, and the jade seal was also stamped by the emperor himself.
It's just that no one knows how much of it is true and how much of it is false.
At that time, the common people were spreading the so-called edict, but it was just a play written and acted by the emperor today!
After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he can be regarded as working hard and has been doing things for the people.
Finally, these rumors were finally not mentioned anymore, and now they are spreading again.
What's more, it is said that it is precisely because the emperor came up in the wrong way that it affected the feng shui of the entire Jibei Kingdom, which made the Jibei Kingdom fall into the current predicament.
The army of Nanyang State pressed the border, but the courtiers only knew how to hide in the Xishan Courtyard to eat, drink and have fun.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, the emperor angrily threw and folded: "How can this be reasonable, how can these ignorant commoners, as well as that Wang Xiao, make such a big move and give her the Xishan Courtyard, don't they just want to calm things down and solve this matter secretly?" ”
The eunuch beside him wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he didn't dare to let out of the atmosphere.
"Let's go, follow me to see how this Wang Xiao cures his disease!"
"Do you want to send someone over first and inform Princess Heshuo?"
"No need, let's go quietly and see what tricks she's up to!"
"The Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother is old and can't stand the toss, so don't tell her, save her from worrying in vain, I will go back when I go!"
Knowing what the emperor meant, the old eunuch immediately called a thousand: "The slave will go and prepare, the emperor will wait a minute!" ”
"Bring less people, bring less things, let's go and come back quickly!"
That being said, but the old eunuch still packed up a carriage of things, and when the time came, if it was useful on the road, the emperor could not find it for a while, and they were the ones who were blamed.
After leaving the palace gate, the emperor and his entourage went straight to the Xishan Courtyard, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling inside.
The corners of his mouth twitched, is this a cure or a prison question!
Guarding the door are the Ouchi guards, can they not know others, can they not know the emperor?
So the emperor and his entourage went unimpeded and followed the direction from which the sound came from.
When I came to the door of this row of rooms where the next person lived, I saw that most of the room doors were open, and the people living in it didn't know where they had gone!
There were a dozen or so rooms with closed doors, and the sounds came from there.
The emperor walked lightly and looked inside through the window lattice.
I saw that in the simplely furnished room, Kuang Daren, who was usually polite and polite, was tied to a chair, and the two people standing next to him were wiping his sweat and feeding him water.
But he couldn't drink a sip, he just kept struggling, shouting: "Let go of me, I can control myself, really, I will never hurt people and smash things again!" ”
He cried out in pain as he spoke.
His face and neck were full of blood marks that he had scratched by himself, and the two people around him seemed to be used to seeing such a situation, and they looked expressionless.
The emperor looked at the other rooms again, and this time he saw Lord Zhao, who was jumping around the room, smashing things, and constantly shouting and scolding: "Wang Xiao, this slut, locked Lao Tzu here, and said what does the emperor mean, can the emperor make such a stupid holy decree?" If you let me out quickly, if you don't let me out, I'll die for you to see now, so that you can't eat and walk around! ”
The two men in the room had ropes in their hands and tried to tie him up, but they couldn't catch up with him.
Lord Zhao not only scolded Wang Xiao, but even the emperor scolded when his mind was not clear: "The old ministers are still helping the affairs of the past, otherwise the emperor can have today?" But the emperor is doing this to me now, it really chills my heart, I want to tell the world what he has done, what edicts, what plans for the throne, all of them are fake, fake ......"
The emperor's face was cold: "This Zhao Shude is really impatient, full of nonsense!" ”
The eunuch next to him only felt that it didn't seem like a good thing to come out with the emperor this time, so he silently took a step back, pretending not to hear what the emperor was saying.
The emperor pushed the door in and looked at Zhao Shude coldly: "What were you talking about just now, repeat what you just said!" ”
Although Zhao Shude was addicted to poppies at this time, he had not yet reached the point of being dizzy with old eyes, and immediately knelt down when he saw the emperor coming: "Your Majesty, you have to save the old minister, the old minister also made great contributions back then, you can't just leave me here, this is not a human life......"
The emperor said sharply: "I want you to repeat what you just said again!" ”
Zhao Shude knew that the situation was not good, so he immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, it was the old minister who was talking nonsense just now, and the old minister knew that it was wrong!" ”
As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face with a "snap": "The emperor spared the old minister, the old minister was locked up here in a hurry." ”
The emperor narrowed his eyes and glanced at the people around him dangerously: "Lord Zhao has died of poison, why don't you hurry up and inform his family?" ”
The person who came to the emperor understood it, and immediately drew his knife and solved Lord Zhao with one sword.
There was only a "poof" sound in the air, and the blood on Lord Zhao's neck immediately spurted out and sprinkled on the face of the person standing next to him.
Although the people who take care of Lord Zhao here are also the Ouchi guards, they are all the children of the minister's family who came in through the back door, and they have a little kung fu, but when they saw such a battle, they were immediately scared stupid.
The emperor is very disdainful, and it seems that after this incident, the Ouchi guards will also have to clean it up.
