Chapter Thirty-Six: The Undercurrent Is Surging
"Your Majesty's face is pale, I don't know what happened, is it sick?"
Seeing Zhao Yuan's pale face and coughing twice from time to time, people couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong with his body. Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, looking at Zhao Yuan's increasingly ugly face, and even someone whispered, "Your Majesty, are you poisoned?" But as the rumors in the market say, say! ”
"Who said that I was poisoned, I just felt the wind chill occasionally, yes, I felt the wind chill occasionally!" A trace of obvious panic flashed on his face, and Zhao Yuan immediately said, "I was a little frightened by the assassination yesterday, and I suffered a little bit of wind and cold, so that's why it's like this." As long as you recuperate for a while, you will be healed! ”
"Your Majesty, but there are rumors in the market, say!"
"What did the rumors say? Tell me about it! ”
Looking at the person who spoke, Zhao Yuan's cold and blade-like gaze stabbed his face with pain, and this person couldn't help lowering his head again, and whispered, "There are rumors in the market that Your Majesty was injured and poisoned yesterday, and there may not be much time!" ”
"Nonsense, it's all rumors, it can't be true, you see, I'm alive now, cough cough!" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yuan hurriedly covered his lips with his hands, but the little blush at the corner of his mouth was seen by the sharp-eyed person in his heart. The men just looked at each other cautiously and did not speak again.
"Your Majesty is not poisoned, naturally it is the best. However, Your Majesty should pay more attention to your body, or take more rest, but "glanced at Zhao Yuan carefully, and said slowly, "But now rumors are flying all over the capital, saying that Your Majesty is deeply poisonous and will not die soon!" ”
"Huh, ahem!" His face was cold, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but slap the table hard, but he didn't know if he was using too much force, and Zhao Yuan couldn't help coughing. The corners of his mouth were even more bloodshot, but they were hurriedly wiped off by Zhao Yuan.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" After taking a few deep breaths and slowing down a little, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "You are all important ministers of the country, you should put all your thoughts on national affairs, how can you believe such market rumors!" ”
"But the power of the Taisho Kingdom depends on Your Majesty alone, Your Majesty must not"
"Enough!" couldn't help but wave his hand to interrupt these people, Zhao Yuan said coldly, "I was assassinated yesterday, and all kinds of rumors have spread in the market today, and some people even say that my life will not be long. Such heart-wrenching words must be spread by people with good intentions. As an important minister of the country, not only do you not know how to stop it, but you add fuel to the fire, what is your intention? ”
"The ministers are guilty!"
"Okay, you lords are fighting for the country, I know in my heart, but I hope that such a thing will not happen again in the future!" After saying a few words intermittently, Zhao Yuan then looked underneath, and then continued, "Your Excellency has also seen it, I have occasionally felt cold in the past few days, so my body is weaker, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go to court early these days, so I will ask you for the next few days!" ”
"Your Majesty is in poor health, you should rest more, and the ministers of state affairs should do their best, please rest assured!"
The early dynasty passed in a dull state, and Zhao Yuan's performance was very bad during the whole process. Not only is he weak when he speaks, but he often coughs uncontrollably, as if he can't breathe the next moment. Soon, the early dynasty was completed, and Zhao Yuan immediately returned to the inner palace with the support of the inner servants, and no one was seen again.
And Zhao Yuan in his own hall did not have the appearance of the sick seedling in the early dynasty, and the whole person looked vigorous. It's just that Zhao Yuan's face is not very good-looking at the moment, and the whole person's mood seems to be very bad.
Just now, Jin Yiwei came with the news that Imperial Doctor Feng, who treated him yesterday, committed suicide at home after returning home. What's worse is that now the news has spread throughout the capital. Rumors have been flying all over the capital, and this time it is even more boiling.
Now the rumors on the street are getting stronger and stronger, saying everything, but the spearhead is directly aimed at Zhao Yuan. The content is similar, all of them say that Zhao Yuan is highly poisonous, and in order to cover up the matter, Imperial Doctor Feng, who treated him, was secretly killed.
Originally, such rumors could not shake people's hearts, but they could not be fueled by people with intentions. Now Zhao Yuan looks sick again, as long as he is a caring person, he can't help but link these two things together.
You must know that the Taizheng Kingdom has been a single biography since the founding of the country, that is to say, Zhao Yuan has no brothers at all, not to mention that he is not married now, and he has no children to inherit the throne.
Once something happens to him, the Taisho Kingdom will inevitably fall apart in an instant. The rumors on the streets seem to be powerless, but they have amazing lethality and can disintegrate the fighting spirit of the whole Taisho Kingdom in the shortest possible time. The emperor is gone, what are you fighting, it's better to find a new master as soon as possible and vote quickly.
"The water in the capital is really getting more and more mixed!" Looking at the scenery outside the hall, Zhao Yuan muttered, "They all want to fish in troubled waters, I want to see who is the yellow finch!" ”
There is a curfew in the capital of Taisho Kingdom at night, and the streets of the entire capital are quiet, without the slightest figure. In a palatial mansion, the lights are bright at the moment.
The hall was full of people, and several voices came from time to time. Hearing the conversation inside, the little guys outside all shrank their heads, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if they were extremely afraid to hear the voices inside.
"Master Su, you have also seen the situation of Your Majesty in the past few days. The old man dared to conclude that the little emperor must be highly poisonous. What an accidental wind chill, it's just a cover-up! ”
"Not bad!" After saying this, the other person then said, "Since the little emperor overthrew the prime minister and the general, he has always shown diligence and firmly grasped all the power in his hands. Now he suddenly let go, and he hasn't been to the court for a few days. I'm afraid it's not for any rest and treatment, but for looking for famous doctors to detoxify him! ”
"Hmph, the little emperor thinks too simply, this is a strange poison that the Jade King Ye got from my Southern Regions Medicine King Valley at a great cost, how can it be solved by ordinary quacks. According to the person sent by the Jade Prince, this poison is extremely violent, and even a trace of contamination can kill people! ”
"Yes, the reason why the little emperor is okay is just because he is lucky. At that time, those guards were desperately guarding, so there was only a little bit of poison entering the body, and Imperial Physician Feng's medical skills were also very good, so he was able to treat him in time, so he could temporarily save his life! ”
"But Imperial Physician Feng also said that he could only suppress this strange poison for a month with all his might. If nothing else, he will surely die in a month. I'm afraid that this little emperor can find a peerless doctor and help him get rid of the poison, then I'm afraid it will be."
"What are you afraid of, even if you can find such a famous doctor, what can you do, the little emperor only has a month. For a month, the old man didn't believe that he could find it in a month. Even if we find it, we have already achieved the general trend, and the little emperor will not be able to turn the sky upside down! ”
"That's it!" The old man sitting on the throne suddenly spoke, looked down, and then said slowly, "Now we have not accomplished great things, and it is not time to be happy. Lord Feng, during this time, the rumors in the market are flying, let us move in the forbidden army! ”
"Master Su, I'm afraid this can't be!" Hearing the old man's words, the people below couldn't help but speak, "In the forbidden army, our people are very small, once they are exposed, I am afraid that they will be taken down by the little emperor immediately!" ”
"What are you afraid of, if you are taken, you will take it, what is there to be a pity!" Snorted disdainfully, the old man said lightly, "I want you to do this because of two aspects. The first is to use this to involve the little emperor, so that he has no time to find a famous doctor to detoxify. On the other hand, it is to make the little emperor feel in danger, so as to transfer Yan Yingyuan of Dayong Pass back!
"In this way, the Great Yong Pass will be completely controlled by General Fang. It's no wonder that this Yan Yingyuan was too arrogant in Dayong Pass, and he dared to get involved in General Fang's military power. And this Yan Yingyuan does have some ability, he will not fall behind in the face of the nearly 200,000 troops of the Dayu Kingdom, and the prestige in the army is higher day by day, which makes General Fang extremely dissatisfied, so he agreed to cooperate with us! ”
"Yes, it's strange to blame the little emperor for doing it himself!" With a cold snort, the other couldn't help but interject and said, "If it weren't for the little emperor being so conceited, he would want the three sides to start a war at the same time." These three-sided battles were originally the way to death, but he insisted on going his own way despite the obstruction of his ministers. He died, but we could not be buried with him. General Fang is also a person who understands current affairs, so he naturally knows the truth that people go to high places and water flows to low places! ”
"Yes, as long as General Fang controls the Dayong Pass, the 200,000 troops of the Dayu Kingdom will be able to drive straight into the capital in an instant, and there will be no opponent under the front of the army. When the time comes, we will all be great heroes, and it is not impossible to pay homage to the prime minister! ”
"What Master Su said is very true, I'll wait for the reward, haha!" Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud, as if the general trend had been completely controlled by them. But no one noticed that on the roof of the hall where they were, a vague figure was lurking in the dark!
