Chapter 10: Zhu Conghou's Conspiracy (3)
Xi Zhengyong has been forced by the situation, if he does not display the antidote grass cultivation room in the imperial city in front of everyone, wouldn't that prove that he has selfish intentions? If the people are at ease, what if they lose a little reputation?
He waved his hand and said, "Since General Zhu is so insistent, then you will go to the cultivation room with the emperor to have a look, so that you can rest assured." ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhu hooked a triumphant smile from the corner of his thick mouth, stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
Everyone left the hall together, went to the deep palace, as the deepening continued, the number of guards gradually increased, and when they came to a heavily guarded hall, they saw a plaque hanging on the hall, which said "cultivation room" three big characters.
Seeing Xi Zhengyong coming, the guards hurriedly came over to salute, and at his signal, they opened the door of the palace.
After the hall was opened, everyone rushed in, only to see that there was a huge pool in the center of the hall, and there were a large number of detoxification grasses in the pool, densely clustered together, there were as many as two hundred!
As soon as he saw this, Xi Zhengyong couldn't help but be stunned, like a lightning strike, and Commander Li was even more stunned: "How can there be so many?"
All the officials were also taken aback, only Zhu Conghou's mouth showed a smug smile.
As soon as Fang Ling saw Xi Zhengyong's expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly, the cultivation room had already been manipulated by Zhu Conghou, and this was where his real conspiracy was.
Zhu Conghou shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, even if I am in the Zhu Department now, the total number of detoxification herbs is only 100, while the clansmen of my Zhu tribe have more than 2,000 people, and there are only 800 people in the imperial city, so there are so many detoxification grasses." Wouldn't it be a peaceful event to divide this excess between the two tribes?"
"You ......" Xi Zhengyong realized that he had fallen into the trap, but when he wanted to speak, he found that he couldn't argue.
The surrounding courtiers couldn't help but talk about it, and no one expected that things would turn out like this.
Zhu Conghou shouted indignantly: "Your Majesty, what else do you have to say now? How can a greedy person like you, regardless of the life or death of the people, be worthy of being the emperor of a country!"
Zhou Zujie also sneered and said, "Your Majesty, are you also worthy of being the emperor?"
Xi Zhengyong's hands were trembling with anger, of course Commander Li knew the true amount of the detoxification grass, and he also knew that all this happened too strangely, obviously Zhu Conghou bought the imperial doctor and secretly moved the detoxification grass from other departments here, but in the current situation, it was too powerless to make such an explanation.
The situation was almost one-sided, and the dignified emperor became the embodiment of greed in front of everyone, and was blamed by all the people, and even the guards looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with the current scene.
Fang Ling suddenly said in a loud voice: "General Zhu, this matter of detoxifying grass does not care about the emperor's affairs!"
Zhu Conghou would put him in his eyes, he didn't even look at him, and waved his hand wantonly: "What do you outsiders know, stay and go!"
But he heard Fang Ling smile slightly, and said endlessly: "Actually, there are only dozens of detoxification herbs in this pool, and the excess is what I put in." ”
"What?" everyone was taken aback, and turned their heads in unison, but their faces were full of suspicion.
