Chapter 122: Divine Pill
"What do you say? Not only did the king of Chu not die, but he also returned to the capital safely and smoothly? King Han looked at Yang Qi in disbelief, "Mr. Yang, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Your Highness, I don't believe it's true either, but it's true." When Yang Qi heard the news, he reacted the same as King Han, "This is news from the capital, there will be no mistake." ”
"How is that possible?" King Han's face became very ugly, "Didn't the fourth child be killed by our dead soldiers, didn't you send someone to destroy the corpse, aren't you sure that the fourth child is dead?" You tell me now, he is not dead, he is still alive and returned to the capital, who died before that, is there two Chu kings in this world? "King Han has never been angrier. If the person in front of him was not Yang Qi, but someone else, he would have slashed him with a knife a long time ago.
Yang Qi said with a look of shame: "Your Highness, the person who died at the beginning was not the real King of Chu, I guess someone used the disguise technique to pretend to be the King of Chu. "He didn't notice it, and he blamed him for being careless.
"Transfiguration?" King Han laughed angrily, "Is there really a disguise technique in this world?" ”
"Your Highness, it is impossible for the dead soldier we sent to chase and kill to see the wrong person, if that person does not look exactly like the King of Chu, our people will not think that it is the King of Chu." Yang Qi calmly analyzed, "There can't be two Chu kings in this world, so the fake Chu king is definitely someone who is disguised and pretended." ”
"Disguise and pretend, hehe......" King Han felt that Yang Qi's statement was too ridiculous, "If there is really a disguise technique, wouldn't it be able to pretend to be me?" So do you think I'm real or fake right now? ”
"Your Highness, can't you still trust our dead soldiers?"
The dead soldiers of King Han have been carefully cultivated, and it has taken countless painstaking efforts. The dead man will never mistake the king of Chu, so it can only be someone who disguises himself as the king of Chu, so that the dead man can't tell the truth from the fake.
With a bang, King Han pulled out the sword hanging on the wall next to him and slashed at the desk in front of him. The desk split in two in an instant.
Yang Qi saw King Han's angry appearance, and only felt that his scalp was numb. He stubbornly continued: "Now it seems that when the King of Chu was hunted down by the former crown prince and them, he also found someone to disguise and pretend to be him, so that he could get out of his shell. "King Chu is really good, and there are people around him who have disguise techniques to help him.
"What's the use of you telling me this now?" King Han was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead protruded, his face was hideous, and his tone was very gloomy and terrifying, "The fourth child is not dead, and we will die next." ”
"Your Highness, we should be fine."
King Han asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"The news from the capital, after the King of Chu returned to the capital, nothing happened in the court, and the emperor did not react at all."
"How is that possible?" King Han raised his eyebrows in astonishment, "Didn't the fourth elder tell my father about my cooperation with the third princess?" ”
Yang Qi guessed: "After all, the King of Chu has no evidence, if he goes back and boldly talks to the emperor about this matter, the emperor will definitely not believe it, and will think that he deliberately targeted you." ”
Han Wang felt that Yang Qi's analysis made some sense, and his face looked a little better.
"It's not impossible for you."
"Your Royal Highness, if the King of Chu really told the emperor, it is impossible for the emperor not to have any reaction, and he will definitely send someone to investigate this matter secretly." Yang Qi felt that his guess was right, "The person who came to investigate you at the moment is to investigate the matter between you and King Zheng, not the matter between you and the third princess." ”
He added: "Besides, Concubine De has not written from Concubine De to remind you to be careful. ”
Hearing Yang Qi say this, King Han's heart that had just been hung up instantly returned to its original place.
"Mr. Yang, this king's courage is very small, can you finish the words in one breath."
"Your Highness, you didn't give me a chance to finish in one breath." Yang Qi thought to himself, he was the one who was scared.
King Han smiled helplessly: "It's the king's fault." ”
"Your Highness, now that the King of Chu has returned to the capital, there is no way to investigate the matter of you and the third princess, so we don't have to worry about him for the time being." I knew that the King of Chu would not say it, so they didn't have to send such someone to assassinate him in the first place, and even dispatched the dead soldiers of the Han Wangfu to risk being discovered. "What we have to think about now is how to deal with the people who came to investigate the matter between you and King Zheng."
"This king lent a lot of money and people to that fool, not to it." King Han said casually, "As a younger brother, there is something wrong with this king lending his brother some money and people. Besides, this king doesn't know what he is going to do, so how can he slander this king and that fool in cahoots. ”
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that the people who came to investigate won't believe what you said."
"It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, the important thing is that they don't have evidence." King Han is not afraid that someone from the capital will investigate this matter. He didn't have a ledger of money and people for those fools. Also, there is no record of what he asked that idiot to do.
Waiting for the people in the capital to investigate, he could fool around by saying a random number, after all, they couldn't find out the exact number.
"Even if my father is really angry about this, at most he will reprimand me a few words and punish me for a few years." It didn't matter to him.
"That's what Your Highness said." Seeing that King Han was so confident, Yang Qi was relieved. "Your Highness, there may be a chance on the acting king's side."
"What do you mean?"
"Once it is proven to be true that the acting king and the Marquis of Xuanping recruited troops and forged weapons in Annam, this is a great crime of rebellion, and the king of the era will be escorted back to the capital to be punished. Let's take advantage of this time to lobby the acting king, and the acting king should agree. ”
"Mr. Yang, you think so, where do you put Concubine Rong." King Han didn't think so, "The Xuanping Marquis Mansion is the mother family of the father, even if the acting king really rebels, the father will not kill him, do you think the acting king is that fool?" ”
"The former King Zheng just tortured and killed some people, which is not a big crime, and rebellion is a big crime of the Nine Clans, the emperor can even kill the former King Zheng, why not kill the acting king?" In Yang Qi's view, the former Zheng Wang's disregard for human life is not a big crime, and the crime is not death. And rebellion is a big crime, and the emperor should kill the acting king.
"Mr. Yang, can that fool be compared to the acting king? Don't you know how much work the king has done over the years? Don't you know how much your father dotes on him? King Han felt that Yang Qi underestimated the weight of the acting king in the emperor's heart, "Besides, the acting kings only recruited troops and forged weapons in Annan, and did not do it in the Great Zhou, and they did not bring people and weapons back to the Great Zhou, which is not considered a rebellion." ”
"Your Highness, you say so, they will be fine with the acting king?" Yang Qi originally thought that he would use this matter to make the acting king obediently listen to them, but he didn't expect it to work.
"At most, the title of Marquis of Xuanping has been taken away, but as long as Concubine Rong is still there, Marquis Xuanping will be able to restore the title in the future." King Han said again, "My father still wants the acting king to stay in the north to resist the Xiongnu, how can he condemn him at this time." ”
"Did the king just give up?"
"Who said that this king gave up, the acting king will not return to the capital during this time, and the people sent by the capital are also coming, so we will let the acting king go for the time being. After the people sent by the capital leave, we will take action. ”
"Your Highness is thinking about it." The people in the capital will soon arrive in Youzhou, and for the sake of safety, it is better for them not to do anything during this time.
At this moment, the official family of King Han's Mansion walked in.
"Your Highness, Mr. Wu is here."
King Han looked surprised: "Why did he come, he came alone?" ”
"It's not one person, Mr. Wu also brought two beauties, saying that one is dedicated to you and the other is dedicated to the acting king."
King Han looked at Yang Qi and asked, "What is his idea?" ”
"Your Highness, the two beauties brought by Mr. Wu are not simple." Yang Qi instantly thought of the beauty plan, "Your Highness, let's meet him first." ”
"You take him to the hall, and the king will go there at once."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Mr. Wu finished drinking a cup of tea, King Han appeared in front of him with Yang Qi.
Mr. Wu was respectful to King Han and hurriedly told King Han about his intention. The two beauties he brought were not ordinary beauties, but those who had been carefully trained. They are the best at pleasing men and seducing them. Dedicate one of them to the acting king, and the king of the era will be bewildered, and let him do whatever he wants.
King Han understood that Mr. Wu was here to offer him a beauty. He did not refuse this kindness, two beauties, one was given to the acting king, and the remaining one stayed in the palace of King Han.
Before, King Han didn't send a beauty to the acting king, but he was rejected by the acting king. However, the beauties sent by Mr. Wu are very different, they are the descendants of the Western Regions and the Great Zhou people, and they have the exotic sex appeal and charm of the Western Regions people, as well as the softness of the Great Zhou people. The combination of these two different temperaments makes it even more flavorful.
Sure enough, as expected by King Han, this time the acting king did not send the beauty back.
Within two days, King Han heard that the acting king was very fond of the beauties he sent, and he was upside down with the beauties at home every day, and he didn't even go to the barracks.
The beauty who stayed in King Han's mansion, King Han did not touch. Although he also loves beauties, he doesn't like such a trained beauty, especially if this beauty has another purpose.
The reason why he kept a beautiful woman in the mansion was naturally to spy on her.
When the acting king was obsessed with women, the people sent by the capital to investigate King Han and King Zheng had already arrived in Youzhou. As King Han expected, they couldn't find anything.
The people sent by the capital checked in Youzhou for a few days and left. Not long after they returned to the capital, King Han was reprimanded by the emperor and fined him for three years, all as King Han expected.
After the people sent by the capital left, Mr. Wu came to King Han's mansion again and contributed the divine pill to King Han. It is said that this elixir comes from the Western Regions, and has the effects of prolonging life, aphrodisiac and tonifying the kidneys, strengthening the body, and nourishing the skin.
King Han was not interested in the Divine Pill contributed by Mr. Wu. He also doesn't believe in these so-called divine pills. However, Mr. Wu told him that if you take it for a long time, you will get younger and younger. He also said that the two beauties he sent before took the Divine Pill every day, which is why they were so young and beautiful.
Although he didn't believe in the Divine Pill, he still accepted it.
"Shendan?" The corners of King Han's mouth hooked up a mocking arc, "I didn't expect this Mr. Wu to learn from those monks to swagger and deceive, is he treating this king as a fool?" "He is young, and he doesn't need to take any elixir to prolong his life, or to become younger.
"Your Highness, I don't think Mr. Wu has the courage to deceive you."
"Sir, you shouldn't believe his words, thinking that these elixirs are really miracle medicines."
"Your Highness, of course there is no magic medicine in this world, and the divine pill that Mr. Wu said should be a tonic." Yang Qidao, "As far as I know, there are many forbidden drugs in the Western Regions, and the efficacy of these banned drugs is beyond people's imagination, so they are listed as banned drugs. ”
King Han took out a divine pill from the brocade box and looked at it with interest: "Do you mean that this medicine can really prolong life as Mr. Wu said, and can also make people younger and younger?" ”
"Your Highness, if you don't say what Mr. Wu said, you can find an old man to try it. If he eats it and really gets younger, it means that Mr. Wu didn't lie to you. ”
"Sir, your proposal is good, then find an old man to eat." King Han smiled, "If it's really as he said, this king will look up to him." ”
At this time, Zhao Yao, who was far away in the swamp mansion, also heard about the divine pill.
Zhao Yao didn't believe that there was a divine pill in this world, and this medicine appeared in Lingnan out of thin air, and he intuitively felt that there was a problem. He immediately sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, he found out the problem.
