Shi Xiaozhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was an old man who was nearly eighty years old, and when he saw that the two big men were arguing, he was about to fight, so he hurriedly came to bring in the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Yelu and Lu Wei, and the king of the Southern Courtyard, Yelu Bawotai, to help persuade him.

The old man's face was wrinkled, and his speech trembled, "King Xiao and His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, don't quarrel, Your Majesty is still in the Golden Tent and life and death are uncertain, you two are arguing loudly outside the tent, and there is a big fight, if Your Majesty knows, I don't know how to worry."

What's more, in this bowl event, His Majesty also invited many envoys, in front of outsiders, the two Khitan nobles had a bad relationship, and it was not good to spread it. ”

The old man looked at Yelu and Lu Wei with a blank eye, expecting him to stand up and persuade him.

Yelu and Lu Wei were still waiting to see the jokes, and they didn't want to care about this kind of dog-eat-dog thing at all, and they wished that their brains would be cool enough, but the old squire was a veteran of the two dynasties, and there was still some popularity in the officialdom, even if he was the generalissimo, it was inconvenient to refute the face.

So he brought a few subordinates and lined up between Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Sabi, forcibly separating the irascible two.

"What are you arguing about? Master Shi is right, His Majesty was assassinated, and it is true that the culprit should be found, but you two bite back and forth, how can you bite out the real culprit? ”

Yelu Yanxi was still very unconvinced, pointed at Xiao Sabi and scolded, "If he didn't poison him, who else poisoned?" ”

"It's the poison you who stepped on the horse, don't blame the king!"

Yelu and Lu Wei didn't want to help anyone, but in his heart, he was a little suspicious of Xiao Sabi about Yelu Hongji's poisoning, so he looked at Xiao Sabi with a little strange eyes.

Xiao Sabi saw that everyone seemed to have similar thoughts, although he threw out another theory, saying that Yelu Yanxi poisoned this cheap grandfather in order to hide his true identity as Yelu Hongji's biological grandson, so as to inherit the throne as the imperial grandson.

But this sounds even more bizarre than Yelu Yanxi's lack of evidence to say that he poisoned Yelu Hongji's wine.

Although the rumors spread like that, even if everyone is suspicious, they will never really think that the things in the rumors are true, and when it comes to the orthodoxy of the royal family, no one dares to really say that they doubt it in their hearts.

Rather than thinking like this, they are more willing to believe Yelu Yanxi's statement, Xiao Sabi deliberately made up such rumors in order to attack Yelu Yanxi's identity as the heir, and it seems that things are more likely to be like this.

So if you think about it according to this logic, it is logical that Xiao Sabi poisoned Yelu Hongji's wine.

The more Yang Huairen listened, the more confused he became, Yelu Hongji was poisoned, and Xiao Sabi did show a hint of joy, but when he and Yelu Yanxi argued about who poisoned him, what he said didn't seem to be false.

Is there such a possibility, Xiao Sabi did think about assassinating Yelu Hongji during the Bowl Festival, but his plan may not be today, nor at the marriage ceremony of Yang Huairen and Princess Anguo.

He didn't expect Yelu Hongji to be poisoned suddenly, so that not only did he save a lot of effort to achieve his goal, but he could also use this to slander Yelu Yanxi, so as to win more people's support.

If this is the case, then who caused the poison in Yeluhongji?

The two pots of wine served by the maid should have been poured from the same wine jar, even if Yang Huairen had never seen it in person, he felt that he would never guess wrong.

The Liao emperor and the diet system may not be as strict and cautious as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, but for the emperor's diet, there must be a special chamberlain to be responsible, and before the food is provided to the emperor, there must be strict review and testing, and there will even be people who test the poison.

Only after trying it is absolutely fine, will it be served to Yeluhongki to enjoy.

And these attendants who manage Yelu Hongji's diet are definitely people that Yelu Hongji can trust and have used for many years.

Some people may say that the person behind the murder of Yeluhongji could have bought off one of these people with a lot of money, or forced someone to do something in the wine by coercion and coercion.

There are similar plots in many palace fighting dramas, but Yang Huairen feels that such a plot is too nonsense and completely unreliable.

In the ancient court system, these people who provided and passed food to the emperor, once the emperor had an accident because of poisoning, no matter who was behind the ghost, these court servants would be held accountable, and they would really be punished by the nine clans.

When Prince Zhaohuai was poisoned, Yelu Hongji issued an order, regardless of whether these people participated in or knew about it, to kill all the relevant people in the prince's mansion and raze the three clans, not to mention that this time it was Yelu Hongji himself who poisoned him?

Those chamberlains and maids who waited for Yelu Hongji, no matter how greedy they were, would not take their lives and their families seriously.

Xiao Sabi's attack on Yelu Yanxi for poisoning is even more impossible, there is no doubt about this, Yelu Yanxi is not suspicious at all, Xiao Sabi's theory sounds reasonable, but from Yelu Yanxi's point of view, it doesn't make sense at all, there is no reason to risk doing something that is harmful to him but not beneficial because of the rumor incident that has gradually faded.

So who poisoned it? How did he bypass the supervision of so many old guards and poison the wine?

Yang Huairen's sense of smell and taste is so sensitive, he didn't notice that there was a problem in the wine, so what kind of poison was Yelu Hongji?

Yang Huairen was still puzzled, everything that happened was too weird, and in today's situation, he could only observe the key people despite the changes, trying to catch a clue from their expressions.

Seeing that Yelu and Lu Wei didn't really want to persuade peace at all, Yelu Bawotai stood up and said, "Don't quarrel between the two of you, right and wrong, you can't quarrel, but today's poisoning of Your Majesty must be investigated." ”

His words were also affirmed by the Khitan ministers, Yelu Yanxi held back his anger, he was sure in his heart that it was the poison under Xiao Sabi, but unfortunately he couldn't come up with any solid evidence, so he had to say coldly, "What the king of the Southern Courtyard said is reasonable, but I don't know how to investigate?" ”

Xiao Sabi snorted coldly, "Hmph! The poisonous wine that His Majesty drank just now was given to His Majesty by the precious daughter of the King of the Southern Courtyard and the concubine, and it seems inappropriate to find out the poisoned person and hand it over to Yelu Bawotai, right?

There is another point, everyone must not forget, just now Princess Anguo suddenly said that the wine is poisonous, how did she know? Don't...... Hehe...... You don't need to say more, right? ”

Yelu Bawotai said angrily, "Xiao Sabi, you are quite good at biting, first biting His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, what's the matter at this time, and biting the head of this king again?" ”
