Chapter 171: The one in the cold palace is gone
On the second day, before the early dynasty ended, Cheng's father-in-law was shocked by a piece of news.
Glancing at the Son of Heaven on the throne in the hall, he waved his hand and motioned for the little eunuch who was passing the word to go down.
In the council hall, under the high steps, Jiang Feng was wearing prison clothes and kneeling on the ground.
Cang Ming took a fold and counted the silver taels he had obtained from selling salt mines over the years.
Jiang Feng had a Chinese face, and he felt a little unangry and arrogant, but now his face was gray and his eyes were blank.
He lowered his head, and after finishing his recitation, he honestly drew and signed.
"Jiang Feng, how did you escape back then?" Zhenning Hou Qi Yuan really couldn't figure out this problem.
Jiang Feng raised his head and looked at Cang Ming blankly, his eyes rolling.
Then, he lowered his head again, smiled lowly, and replied to the question, "If you can live for all these years, it can be regarded as stolen." ”
It's just that the innocent juniors have been implicated because of their greed.
This can be regarded as retribution.
"Your Majesty, the old minister didn't notice the orphans of Loulan back then, let them endanger Dongchen, please ask Your Majesty to condemn you!" Qi Yuan lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
Emperor Zhaoyang had a calm face and said coldly: "Jiang Feng was beheaded three days later, Qi Yuan and Xia Jinpeng did not detect the remnants of Loulan in time, and they were fined for half a year. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Qi Yuan and Xia Jinpeng hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Announcing the next dynasty, Gonggong Cheng quickly caught up with Emperor Zhaoyang and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, the one in the cold palace is gone." ”
Emperor Zhaoyang didn't understand what Cheng Gonggong meant: "Gone?" ”
Who else dares to go to the cold palace to rob the prison?
Gonggong Cheng nodded: "What the palace people found this morning, the people have hardened." ”
Emperor Zhaoyang reacted, paused, and lowered his eyes, so that people could not see the emotions in their eyes.
After a while, he continued to walk forward and said lightly: "Deal with it according to the rules." ”
Gonggong Cheng respectfully responded, thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is handling government affairs in the imperial study, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”
The hand in the Yellow Dragon robe of Emperor Zhaoyang clenched suddenly, and his eyes fluctuated violently.
He turned his steps and walked in the direction of the imperial study.
In the imperial study, Zhang Yao glanced at Xuanyuan Qingmu behind the low table, and a sense of ominousness lingered in his heart.
He raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, are you unwell?" ”
Xuanyuan Qingmu looked at the folds on the table, and didn't raise his head when he heard the words, "The palace is fine, I called Imperial Doctor Zhang today, but there is something I want Imperial Doctor Zhang to see." ”
Zhang Yao's heart became more and more frightened, and he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "I don't know what His Highness wants the old minister to see?" ”
Xuanyuan Qingmu put down the pen in his hand, closed the fold, and picked up another book at random, "How long has Imperial Doctor Zhang been in Tai Hospital?" ”
Zhang Yao didn't understand why he asked like this, thought about it carefully, and replied cautiously: "Back to Your Highness, it's been thirty years since Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
Xuanyuan Qingmu hummed softly, and her beautiful face couldn't show any emotion, "It's been thirty years, and he can be regarded as an old man in the palace." ”
Zhang Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't dare to respond.
Xuanyuan Qingmu closed the fold in his hand and raised his eyes to look at him, "Why doesn't Imperial Doctor Zhang let his son inherit your mantle?" ”
Zhang Yao's face turned pale, and he snorted, "Dog...... Dogs are in the same medical skill...... No talent......"
Xuanyuan Qingmu seemed to believe it, and nodded: "So that's the case." ”
Zhang Yao did not let his children and grandchildren enter the Tai Hospital, but opened a pharmacy outside, just to protect his children and grandchildren in case of an accident.
However, no one in the Zhang family could escape this time.
Zhang Yao opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the high-pitched voice of the eunuch outside the door: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
Zhang Yao's pupils shrank, his face became more and more pale, and he quickly turned around and knelt on the ground, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Xuanyuan Qingmu propped up the desk and got up: "Father." ”
Emperor Zhaoyang glanced at Zhang Yao and looked at Xuanyuan Qingmu, "If you are not in good health, you don't need to be polite, sit down." ”
Zhang Yao knelt on the ground and watched the corners of Minghuang's clothes turn around.
Cold sweat soaked through his underwear, and his heart beat like a drum.
Emperor Zhaoyang walked to the desk and sat down, staring at Zhang Yao on the ground, silent for a long time.
The thick coercion spread, Zhang Yao's body fell lower, and he trembled unconsciously, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
Emperor Zhaoyang's tone couldn't hear any ups and downs: "It's hard for Zhang Aiqing, and I still recognize the emperor." ”
Zhang Yao's body trembled even more, and the cold sweat on his face dripped down his chin, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is the lord of Dongchen, and no one ...... No one doesn't know ......."
"Humph!" Emperor Zhaoyang slapped the table and said coldly: "Zhang Aiqing's master, I'm afraid it's not me for a long time." ”
Zhang Yao looked up at Emperor Zhaoyang with a pale face, and immediately lowered his head, "In the heart of the minister, His Majesty has always been the master of the minister. ”
Emperor Zhaoyang slammed the bowl on the desk at Zhang Yao, and said angrily: "Then you tell me, what is the use of the medicine residue in this bowl?" ”
Zhang Yao was smashed firmly on the head by the bowl, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and a stream of heat flowed down from the top of his head.
The smell of medicine rushed to the tip of his nose, and his brain exploded with a bang.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Yao didn't care about the blood on his face, and kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, this medicine ...... This medicine ......"
"This medicine was given by the Queen Mother to His Majesty to regulate his body." Xuanyuan Qingmu took his words lightly.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother did ask the minister to prescribe medicine, but the minister's prescription ...... It's a ...... to recuperate."
"Zhang Yao, I see that your whole body is the hardest, and this mouth is the hardest." A sarcastic laugh came, and Su Xiaoxiao took Imperial Doctor Wang and several doctors into the imperial study.
"I've seen Your Majesty." Several people saluted in unison.
Emperor Zhaoyang waved his hand: "No need to be polite. ”
Su Xiaoxiao got up, picked up the medicine residue on the ground, and seemed to smile, "There are two herbs in this medicine, and it is indeed beneficial to the body when used alone."
But when mixed together, it will produce chronic poison and make people die in their sleep unconsciously.
And usually probe the pulse, and no signs of poisoning can be detected, and within ten breaths of death, this poison will dissipate, and the cause of death will also become a mystery.
Imperial Doctor Zhang, you say, am I right? ”
Zhang Yao's body trembled like a sieve, sweat like rain, and he argued forcefully, "Your Majesty...... The old minister was wronged......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, these two medicines are extremely rare, not precious, but very few people know their uses, I don't know how many people have seen relevant records?" Su Xiaoxiao threw away the medicinal residue in her hand, got up and looked at Imperial Doctor Wang and the others.
Imperial Physician Wang and two doctors stepped forward and picked up the medicine residue to observe carefully.
For a while, in the imperial study with extremely low air pressure, only the sound of discussion was heard.
Zhang Yao listened to the discussion of Imperial Physician Wang and others, his heart hung in his throat, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
The properties of these two herbs were also told to him by the Queen Mother.
He had looked through all the books in the hospital, but there was no record.
It's just that I don't know where Su Xiaoxiao learned about it.
Now, only the extravagant hope that Imperial Physician Wang and others will not see anything unusual.
