Volume 3 [The Mystery of Longquan] 220: Emperor Daming's Strange Heaven
() Gather up and down the government and the opposition, and everyone hums a sad song!
The moment Xingyun stepped into the imperial bed, he saw dozens of old ministers kneeling and crying in front of the dragon couch. Sincerely, or falsely.
The cry made Xingyun feel that the death of the emperor and the death of the people were like an abyss. The death of the people is nothing but the death of people, and the death of the emperor is the fall of the sky!
These courtiers hung their 'sincerity' on their faces without reservation, and poured their 'loyalty' into their tears with pompous expression. The whole atmosphere was drenched in sorrow by them, which was worse than the death of his father.
Xingyun swept his gaze and immediately took the furnishings in the emperor's bedroom into his eyes. The carved dragon and jade beds made of real gold, the rare carved tables and chairs, the hard-to-find tribute satin fabrics, and the screen paintings with horizontal brushwork and ink all show the true colors of the emperor everywhere.
But none of this caught Nebula's attention, but instead it was an inconspicuous porcelain bowl that kept Nebula in sight. She ran over and picked up the porcelain bowl. This abrupt move made the ministers below immediately panic......
Who dares to break into His Majesty's palace without permission?
Already a responsive minister stood up and scolded him......
Only then did the other ministers react, and they all stood up one after another, staring directly at this unknown intruder with an abrupt demeanor......
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even more surprised: Isn't this the eldest sister of Dao Meimei, Baili Xingyun? How could she suddenly appear here? For a while, he also looked at Xingyun at a loss.
Baili Xingyun didn't care about these courtiers with earthy faces, but just handed over a kind of trust that only had between friends to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince through his eyes.
The prince understood the metaphor in her eyes, and knew that she was not an assassin, let alone a spoiler. So he silently looked forward to Nebula's next move.
Xingyun raised the porcelain bowl in his hand and said: Who murdered the emperor with the poison of the feather?
Her words without warning were said without a beginning or an end, which surprised all the ministers. A person of unknown origin broke into the palace for unknown reasons and said a word of unknown origin. How can we get people to believe and accept it?
Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense under the Son of Heaven's bed? Come, quickly take down this unknown assassin! A minister can no longer tolerate this criminal act.
The roar of the lion attracted a group of soldiers who were about to come forward to arrest the woman who was pretending to be a eunuch......
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately stood up and said: "Stand down for me...... This is my cronie who has been planted in the palace. You have to be presumptuous!
Another minister said: Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, today is the day of the death of our emperor, and it involves the overlapping of the thrones, and before the announcement of the holy decree to determine the successor, except for the auxiliary ministers, even the concubines are not allowed to enter without permission, so as not to be suspected of being an adjudicator. But she is neither a relative of the emperor nor an auxiliary minister, and she is still talking nonsense here, she has violated my daimyo's law, and she should be caught and whipped to death!
Xingyun watched from the sidelines: these people don't care about the cause of the emperor's death at all, and they are still slandering me here. It seems that I have to make you all calm and calm!" So he pointed to the minister who had just spoken, and said: Do you want me to shut up like that? In this way, you are the one who poisoned and plotted to kill the emperor!
The minister did not expect that this fake eunuch would be beaten upside down, and this trick would make it difficult for him to deal with, and he would become a sinner when he opened his mouth! If he arrested her, he would be suspected of killing him, and if he did not arrest her, he would not be able to realize his loyalty to the saint. An old face was no longer bloody, and his mouth was half-open and he was dumbfounded......
Another minister was calmer, and after judging the situation, he asked, "This girl, you are pretending to be a eunuch."
It is already a crime of deceiving the king, but since you are a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince, we will give you a chance to explain, if you lie to confuse the public again, it will be a capital crime! Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to save you!
Xingyun said confidently: I can't decide whether I die or not! But I need to get justice for the emperor! The poison in the emperor is the incense of the feather, which is a rare poison, and it is slow/sex/poison/medicine. Once poisoned, the deceased has no warning and leaves no trace.
Since there is no trace of the poison you are talking about, how do you know that?
Although this poison does not leave a trace after death, it also has its characteristics, that is, although it is colorless, it has a smell. The smell of feathers was already pervasive in this imperial bed, and the bowl in my hand was even more poisonous, so from this alone I can be sure that His Majesty must have taken the medicine in this bowl before dying invisibly!
At this time, there were already a few people among the ministers with abnormal expressions, and they were making eye contact with each other in private. One of them said: It's just nonsense, this is obviously a medicine for His Majesty's illness, but you say what kind of poison is it. Is it medicine or poison, can't so many imperial doctors see it? Why is it smelled by you? Your Royal Highness the Prince? I see that this person has ulterior motives at all times, and the minister has the courage to implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to correct her on the spot in order to repay the emperor's kindness!
Xingyun said: Since you say so, then I will convince you to take it orally! How many imperial doctors might as well stand up, I will know the medicine you have prepared for the emperor as soon as I smell it, and if you say the wrong thing or omit a medicine, it is up to you to kill or chop it! If you deliberately deny the facts, then the crime of deceiving the king is not me, but you!
I don't believe there are such people in the world. Four generations of my family have been officials, all of whom are imperial doctors in the palace, and now I have been an imperial doctor for 40 years. I have seen countless diseases in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the three palaces and six hospitals, and I have also treated countless diseases. But even I don't dare to say that you can distinguish all drugs by smell alone, and you are not very old but have a very big mouth, so let me see what you are capable of! If you lose, you will be deceived by false words, and you should be punished for your crimes.
Nebula asked rhetorically, "What if you lose?"
The old imperial doctor replied confidently: I lost, I don't want this head!
And me!The imperial doctor next to me came out......
Later, more than a dozen imperial doctors came out one after another, and in their cognition, it was absolutely impossible for Xingyun to surpass himself. Otherwise, this imperial doctor would be lucky enough. This is a bet that will never be lost, for the sake of the protection of officials and officials, how can we let go of this opportunity to win people's hearts?
Nebula smiled smugly, and then said, "Okay, I'll tell you now: you have a total of one hundred and twenty-four herbs for this medicine......
As soon as these words came out, the dozen or so imperial doctors were shocked, looked at each other, and comforted each other: she was just a fluke guess, you can rest assured!
Xingyun began to gush on and on: Saponaria thorn, grain essence grass, turtle plate gum, Xinyi flower, Lianqian grass, sand garden, honeysuckle vine, chicken blood vine, chicken bone grass, green leaf seed, neem bark, loquat leaves, eleutherococcus senticosus, Yu Li Ren, weeping grass, golden sand vine, desmodium, golden cherry seed, Houttuynia cordata, houttuynia cordata, houttuynia cordata, Sheep flower, Poria cocos, Zhu Weizi, Crow gall, Yu surplus grain, pangolin, andrographis, child ginseng, Luoshi vine, Frangipani, sulforaphane seed, summer no, Prunella vulgaris, duck plantar grass, inverted grass, Lingxiao flower, wide tendon vine......
She smelled the smell of the bowl and said as she tasted the medicine......
It was a few listeners who were more and more frightened the more they listened, but they still had luck. couldn't stop looking at each other, comforting their accomplices with their eyes, and they had the persistence of not crying when they didn't see the coffin.
His Royal Highness the Prince
I was also impressed by this Baili Nebula, but I didn't expect that the eldest sister of Dao Meimei was really a god of medicine, and her skills were by no means comparable to the quacks in this palace. There is evidence for saying this, and her father was indeed poisoned.
However, my father has passed away, and no matter what I do, it is still impossible for my father to wake up. Now the Manchu civil and military are all taking sides, and they are all looking at what I will do next. At this time, if the real culprit is caught, I am afraid that before he can successfully ascend the throne, it will cause strife. But if the real culprit is not arrested, how can this matter be appeased?
Forget it, at this time, it is better to leave it to the future to investigate thoroughly, and at the moment I cannot let these dozen ministers die because of a gamble. Although they are a little arrogant, I need to buy people's hearts before I find out the real culprit who poisoned my father......
Nebula still dictates: sea sands, sea crickets, sea pumice, mulberry white bark, mulberry parasitism, mulberry crickets, dodder seeds......
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately interrupted: Okay, okay! Today, in this national disaster, you are still betting here, which really makes the king feel cold. I'm free to judge who's right and who's wrong, and your bets don't count!
The prince's words undoubtedly spared the risk of more than a dozen imperial doctors from being decapitated, and they rejoiced and thanked the soon-to-be-enthroned prince. The virtuous also secretly sighed in their hearts: practicing medicine in the palace for half a life, it is not as good as a girl in the year of flower letters. What a shame!
Xingyun also knew the prince's intentions: since His Royal Highness the prince has an order, then this bet is stopped!
After the battle just now, all the ministers of Gongqin also saw that this fake eunuch was very capable, and he had a good background. Due to the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they had no choice but to stop making things difficult for Xingyun.
An auxiliary minister said: Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made a judgment, it is postponed at this time. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the top priority is to prepare for the crown prince to ascend the throne. I immediately read out the edict of the emperor, and the ministers bowed down......
All the ministers shook their official robes and knelt down in unison......
.......................................
Fengtian transported, the emperor summoned and said:
Reading the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, the love of the people.
It is the society of the country and receives the grace of the emperor.
Self-cultivation for self-discipline, family for righteousness,
Governing the country is always in the way of decency, and leveling the world in order to ensure the peace of all the people.
In a trance, he worries about the country and the people all his life, and the white horse is dying of old age.
Today, Ji Ziyan and Wang Long will be established as the crown prince and inherit the unification in the future.
King Zuo Mian of Qingxiang was the auxiliary political prince and supported the crown prince to ascend the throne.
Ronghui Wang Gaoji was an auxiliary minister and assisted the prince in power.
I hope that everyone is Aiqing:
With the heart of the common people for the common people, with the heart of the courtiers for the Son of Heaven.
Do your best to ensure the prosperity and stability of the Ming Dynasty.

.......................................
The ministers obey the emperor's orders, long live my emperor, long live, long live!
The ministers got up and began to talk about it......
This edict is very clear, and the third prince has already been canonized as the crown prince. Although these were all things that the ministers had already anticipated in their hearts, for some reason, after hearing the edict with their own ears, it still caused whispers among them.
After the old minister read out the holy decree, he handed it into the hands of the crown prince and said to everyone: Since the edict of the former emperor has been read, then according to the will of the first emperor, it will be announced to the world on the fifth day of the first month of the next month. The Auxiliary Minister immediately prepared for the enthronement ceremony......
No way!
Suddenly, there was a sonorous veto from outside......
