Chapter 519: Manipulating People's Gu

On weekdays, when Zhao Yao, His Royal Highness the King of Han, does not go to the court, he will never advance, and take the initiative to go to the court. This time, he actually went to court a day earlier, which shocked all the ministers.

The ministers couldn't help but look up at the sky to see if the sun had hit the west today, but unfortunately, it was cloudy today, and they didn't see the sun.

It's been sunny these days, could it be that today's cloudy sky is because His Highness took the initiative and went to court in advance?

When they went to the court, the ministers saw His Royal Highness the King of Han for the first time with an angry face and a murderous aura all over his body. His Royal Highness the King of Han has always been happy, and it is rare to see him angry, this is the first time they have seen His Royal Highness so angry.

Wen Daoji and Zheng Qian saw Zhao Yao's angry face, and guessed in their hearts that something big must have happened, otherwise His Highness would not be so angry.

Zhao Yao asked Tongxi to tell the ministers about the ingredients of the Divine Pill and the effects of these ingredients.

When the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty made the Divine Pill, they did spend a lot of thought and used a lot of precious medicinal materials. These herbs can and do make people's bodies better and prolong their lives. However, the most important medicinal ingredients in the Divine Pill are not these, but the medicine Hibiscus, which can make people younger.

Medicine Hibiscus is not Hibiscus, it can be said that it has nothing to do with Hibiscus. It is not a flower, nor a medicinal herb, but a Gu.

This Gu was not called Medicine Hibiscus at first, but later it was called "Medicine Hibiscus" for some reason. When they hear the name "medicinal hibiscus", most people's first reaction is hibiscus flowers, or a kind of medicinal herb, and they will never think of Gu.

Medicine Hibiscus is not an ordinary Gu yet, it is fed with various poisons. When a person eats it, his body will become better and his appearance will become younger.

If you eat it for a long time, you will indeed get younger and younger, but eventually you will become insane. Turning into a madman is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that it can control people and make people become its puppets. This is the ultimate goal of the Southern Wei people.

First of all, he used the divine pill to control the dignitaries and nobles in various places, and let these high-ranking and powerful people do things for them, so that they could control the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the royal families of Annam and Johor in the future.

Fortunately, Zhao Yao discovered it early, and the Shendan currently flows into the inland of Dazhou not very much, and the most important thing is that the people who buy it have a short time to eat. If Zhao Yao found out three months late, the Gu would take root in the bodies of those who had eaten the Divine Pill, and he would not be able to get rid of it at that time.

Now those who have eaten the Divine Pill already have Gu in their bodies, but the Gu is very small and has not been raised by human flesh and blood, so they will not control people for the time being. At this time, you can still find a way to remove the Gu from the human body. If you wait until three months later, the medicine stone will be useless at that time, unless you kill the female Gu.

When the ministers heard that there was Gu in the Divine Pill, they were all frightened. At the same time, glad they didn't eat the elixir.

The Southern Wei people sent the Shendan to some officials in important positions in the court, wanting to control them, and then achieve the goal of controlling Zhao Yao's small court. However, Zheng Qian and Wen Daoji are very cautious on weekdays and do not take the medicine given by outsiders. Besides, they don't believe in any miracle medicine.

Zhao Yao once warned officials not to easily believe in Lingnan's miracle medicine. Although there are many medicines in Lingnan that have amazing effects, the ingredients in these medicines are not necessarily safe, because Lingnan people like to put some strange things when making medicines, and sometimes they will release Gu.

Of course, not all Gu are bad. There are a lot of Gu that are good, they can treat people, and they are good for people's bodies. However, you can't guarantee that the Gu in the medicine you get from outsiders is good.

The officials of Zhao Yao's small court had heard a lot about Gu, and they were very afraid of Gu and very jealous.

Hearing the end, knowing that the Gu in the Divine Pill can make people crazy and control people, the ministers' faces were covered with horror.

A few days ago, Zhao Yao suddenly ordered to crack down on the Divine Pill, and many ministers felt that he was making a big fuss, thinking about what kind of storm a Divine Pill could set off. Now it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Han had the foresight to perceive that the Divine Pill would harm people a lot.

Zhao Yao once again ordered in the early dynasty that the divine pill was strictly forbidden. Those who sell and buy the elixir will be beheaded. Anyone who conceals or shields the purchase or sale of the elixir will be imprisoned.

The ministers of the DPRK and China have relatives and friends who buy the elixir and take the initiative to go to the court governor's mansion to hand in the elixir, and they can be exempted. If it is later found that some officials conceal the purchase of the Shendan by their family members, the officials will be directly demoted, and the official's family members will be beheaded for public display.

The ministers all knew the methods of His Royal Highness the King of Han, and he said that beheading, it was really beheading, and it was by no means scary.

After leaving the court, many ministers ran home to ask their families if they had secretly bought the elixir. If so, hand it over quickly.

When he was young, the people of the entire swamp mansion knew that there was Gu in the divine pill, which was a harmful medicine and could not be eaten. Once you eat it, you become crazy.

Zhao Yao also specially issued an order for a reward. If you find that someone is selling or buying the elixir, you can report it to the yamen, and after verifying that it is correct, you will be rewarded by the yamen.

When the people heard this order, their faces showed excitement. They can't wait to find these people who sell and eat the elixir.

With the people watching around, it is not so easy for the Southern Wei people to continue to sell the Divine Pill.

Zhao Yao was worried that the Southern Wei people would continue to be the scourge of the Shendan in foreign countries such as Annan and Piguo, so he wrote a letter to the emperors of these foreign countries very solemnly, in which he told them in detail about the dangers of the Shendan, and hoped that they could crack down on the Shendan. Finally, he warned these foreign countries that the Divine Pill was a forbidden medicine in the Great Zhou, and if it was found that people from their countries were selling the Divine Pill to the Great Zhou, then don't blame him for being unsympathetic. Anyone who sells or buys the Divine Pill in Da Zhou will be beheaded, and it will be useless for anyone to intercede at that time. Finally, he reminded these Gentiles to weigh carefully, whether the Shendan is important or the Great Zhou is important. He didn't want the Shendan to affect the relationship between them.

After writing letters to these foreign countries, Zhao Yao deliberately held a naval parade in the waters of Marsh Province. This naval parade deeply shocked countries such as Annam and Johor, and made them understand that they must not offend the young His Royal Highness the King of Han, let alone oppose His Royal Highness the King of Han, otherwise they will not end well.

These foreign countries have said that they will also list the Shendan, crack down on the Shendan, and will never affect the friendly relationship between them and the Great Zhou and His Royal Highness the King of Han because of the Shendan.

The emperor, who was far away in the capital, received a secret letter from Zhao Yao two days ago, and learned that there was a Gu in the Divine Pill that could control people, and he was very angry, and immediately issued an order to list the Divine Pill as a forbidden drug.

In the imperial study, the emperor was discussing the matter with He Xiang and Liu Taishi.

"Your Majesty, you can't let the Southern Wei people do anything wrong." He Xiang frowned, his expression was very solemn, "What they have done over the years has become more and more rampant, and now they are even more bold to make pills to control people, they want to ruin the Great Zhou." ”

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Han was keen and found out that there was a problem with the Divine Pill in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." For the Southern Wei people, Liu Taishi was extremely disgusted, "Your Majesty, you can't keep the Southern Wei people anymore." ”

"I can't let them rub their noses and face anymore." The emperor turned a blind eye to the Southern Wei people all these years, not because he was afraid of them, but because of the secret behind them. "It's time to clean them up, too."

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Han to detect it in time and prevent more divine pills from flowing into the capital, I am afraid that many ministers have eaten the divine pills now, and after a long time, they will become puppets in the hands of the Southern Wei people." He Xiang could not believe that most of the ministers of the court and China were controlled by the Southern Wei people.

"Your Majesty, the power of the Southern Wei people over the years should not be underestimated." Taishi Liu reminded the emperor, "Don't play away again." ”

The Emperor said, "Everything is under my control. ”

When Taishi Liu heard the emperor say this, he mocked unceremoniously: "In this way, the matter of the Divine Pill this time is also in your hands, Your Majesty." ”

The smile on the emperor's face froze.

He Xiang said: "Obviously, the matter of the Shendan is not under the control of the emperor this time. ”

"That's right, this time the matter of the Divine Pill is thanks to His Royal Highness the King of Han, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Han, maybe the emperor would have eaten the Divine Pill." Taishi Liu said in a sharp tone, "Your Majesty, if everything you said is under control, no wonder the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty can make a divine pill that manipulates people." ”

The emperor glared at him when he heard Taishi Liu and He Xiang laughing at him in harmony.

"The Southern Wei people can make the magic pill that manipulates people, and then the Southern Wei people are only afraid that they will make more powerful things, and they may shake the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time." Taishi Liu sneered, "At that time, the emperor, do you want to say that everything is within your expectations, did you deliberately let the Southern Wei people do this?" ”

Sun Kui, who was standing on the side, heard Taishi Liu unceremoniously sarcastic about the emperor, and quickly glanced at the emperor, and saw that the emperor's face was very exciting, and he almost couldn't help laughing, and quickly lowered his head as if he didn't see anything.

He Xiang nodded in agreement: "How can the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty hide things from the emperor, of course everything is expected by the emperor." ”

Taishi Liu continued to mock: "Then the emperor is really a last resort. ”

was so ridiculed by Taishi Liu, the emperor's face was a little unbearable, "You guys are enough." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers did not approve of staying in the remnants of the Southern Wei Dynasty at the beginning, and they must be exterminated, otherwise they will do something that endangers the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now it is confirmed that the ministers are right."

He Xiang continued Taishi Liu's words and said: "Your Majesty, the big fish behind the Southern Wei people is very important, but the minister thinks that it is not as important as the Great Zhou Jiangshan. ”

"Over the years, the Southern Wei people have infiltrated all places, even foreign countries such as the Western Regions and Annam." Taishi Liu's face became heavy, "If you let them develop again, I'm afraid that it won't be long before they will rebel." ”

"Lao Liu, do you look down on the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty, or do you underestimate me?"

"What about the Shendan this time?"

"If Xiao Shi doesn't inform me, I will know two days later." The emperor is not hard-mouthed, but telling the truth. This time the matter of the Divine Pill, if Zhao Yao did not notice the emperor, the emperor would know about it in two days.

Taishi Liu and He Xiang looked incredulous.

"I will take care of the affairs of the Southern Wei people, so don't worry about the two of you." The emperor hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled meaningfully, "Also, don't underestimate the eighth child. "Lao Ba is his most important chess piece against the Southern Wei people.
