Chapter 1093: Poisoning
Intelligence shows that Zhu Di went on an expedition to Mobei when he was young, hugged the ice and snow, and fell into the old root of rheumatism. When he was young, he relied on his strong body, advanced martial arts, and could still support him. After the age of 50, with old age and decay, rheumatism became more and more serious, which made Zhu Di feel painful. Doctors from all over the country were mobilized, but they still couldn't alleviate the emperor's pain.
There was no way to seek medical treatment, Zhu Di even pinned his hopes on the monks, and once set up a temple in Nanjing City to seek immortal medicine, but later gave up under the persuasion of the old ministers.
From this piece of information, Wang Xian saw an opportunity. Because Zhu Di wanted to ask for help from the immortal priest back then, but he was blocked, that is to say, the emperor has not tried this road. I believe that as Zhu Di's illness worsens, as long as someone mentions it in front of him, the emperor will choose to give it a try......
Wang Xian also learned that it was Zhu Di's confidant Huang Wei, the great eunuch, who advised the emperor to ask for immortal medicine, and Huang Wei himself had also sought the male root rebirth technique, although it was unsuccessful, but he still believed in Fangshi very much.
Wang Xian ordered Wu Wei, who was in the capital, to find a character who was good at pretending to be a god and a ghost among the capable people of Jinyiwei to pretend to be a master. Wu Wei's feedback made Wang Xian very happy, it turned out that there was a charlatan in Jinyiwei's team who specialized in pretending to be a ghost and swaggering.
Under Wang Xian's instructions, Wu Wei handled the degree for the charlatan in the Daolu Division, and arranged for him to place an order in the Baiyun Temple where Huang Wei frequented. The charlatan became the chief of Hu Dao in the Baiyun Temple, and took out the whole copy of the story of walking the rivers and lakes and abducting and deceiving in the past, and he actually tossed a lot of fame in Beijing in half a year, and finally attracted Huang Wei's attention.
Hu Daochang knew that everything he did was to attract Huang Wei's interest and let him introduce himself to Zhu Di. In front of Huang Wei, he saved several dying patients...... Of course, those patients were just the ones he had arranged. Huang Wei really believed it, prepared a generous gift, and solemnly asked him for advice on the art of dead wood in spring. Hu Dao grew up to blow the conch, supplemented by some deceptive tricks, so that Huang Wei completely believed that he was a master of the Tao and was fully capable of curing the emperor's illness.
After the winter, the bad news was repeated, and the emperor's condition deteriorated again, and Huang Wei tentatively asked the emperor if he could turn to the magic of the gods. Zhu Di was tortured in pain, and if he had a way, he would naturally try, so he promised to meet Hu Shenxian, and this was the reason for everything......
And the elixir that Hu Shenxian refined for the emperor had the formula from the experts of the six places of Jinyi Wei. To put it bluntly, the red pill is a strong tonic, which can stimulate the potential of the human body to the greatest extent, making people feel energetic and full of strength in a short time, but in fact, it is based on the premise of serious overdraft, and taking it for a long time will lead to liver yang and kidney deficiency in the human body, heat and depression, and the risk of stroke at any time.
If the red pill is dynamite, the yellow pill that the emperor is taking today is the fuse that ignites the explosive, which will produce severe phlegm and heat...... And these two pills themselves are not toxic, the little eunuch who tried the medicine is young and strong, and after taking the medicine, he will feel hot and dry at most, and there will be no big reaction. But the emperor is already old and weak, and he has been taking red pills for a long time, and his whole body has become a powder keg, and he only needs a breath of phlegm heat and a breath of anger to trigger a stroke! .
By evening, Dai Hua was sure that the emperor had indeed suffered a stroke...... Wang Xian's first stage of revenge can be regarded as the end. As for when the next stage will begin, it depends on how the ghosts and gods perform after the emperor falls ill.
"My lord, now everyone inside and outside the palace thinks that you gave the emperor a stroke," Dai Hua said with some worry: "Although no one dares to ask for the life of an adult, I am afraid it is impossible for us to leave Beijing if we want to ......leave Beijing."
"That's nature." Wang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think about leaving Beijing in a short time," he said and looked at Dai Hua and said, "Go and pack up and get ready to move." β
"Moving?" Dai Hua was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't the emperor give me a marquis' mansion?" Wang Xian sneered: "They must urge me to move over quickly." β
"Your Majesty, this marquis' mansion, I'm afraid it's not so easy to live in, right?" Dai Hua frowned.
"That's for sure," Wang Xian nodded, "It's just a decent statement of residential surveillance......
Although Wang Xian expected that he would move soon, he did not expect that early the next morning, a eunuch would come and deliver a decree, ordering him to move to the palace of the marquis of the imperial palace immediately, and the attachΓ© should not exceed ten people.
"Whose will is this?" Dai Hua questioned the eunuch who had sent the message.
"This is what the emperor has decided a long time ago, and it is naturally the emperor's will." The eunuch said expressionlessly: "Our family has to see the uncle move over today before we can return to the palace to reply to the decree." β
"I think you're a false herald!" Dai Hua said angrily.
"Forget it, just obey." Wang Xian didn't let Dai Hua entangle anymore, and happily accepted the order.
Let the eunuch wait in the front hall, Wang Xian and Dai Hua went to the backyard to prepare to move.
"My lord, you are too good at talking, how can you agree like this?" Dai Hua asked very puzzled.
Wang Xian said lightly: "We have to let those people focus on business as soon as possible, how can we make trouble for them again." β
"At the very least, bring a few dozen people." Dai Hua was very worried about Wang Xian's safety.
"Don't worry, before the dust settles, everyone needs a stable situation, and if you don't want the world to be in chaos, no one dares to touch me." Wang Xian said with a smile: "In this case, bringing more people over is just to accompany me to prison, it is better to put it outside, and there will be more people at that time......"
"Hey......" Seeing that Wang Xian's mind had been decided, Dai Hua had no choice but to follow the implementation, carefully selected seven martial arts and meticulous people from the guards, and arranged a maid to take care of Gu Xiaolian, and even he made up ten people by himself.
At noon, three carriages carrying Wang Xian and his party of eleven people drove out of the Earl's Palace.
Through the car curtain, Wang Xian saw that the street had been emptied. Along the way, there are all the soldiers and horses of the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, all on guard, like facing the enemy!
Obviously, those people were frightened by the pomp and circumstance of Wang Xian's entry into the city, and feared that there would be another situation when he moved the palace, so they put him under martial law overnight.
Wang Xian laughed silently and closed the curtain. Then he looked at Gu Xiaolian, who was sitting quietly on the side, held her hand, and said softly: "Let's move, but don't worry, there is no danger......"
Gu Xiaolian showed a look of relief on her face, and gently held his hand......
The carriage drove into the Dongchang Hutong, and then drove straight into the Le'an Hou Mansion adjacent to the Dongchang Yamen. Dai Hua sat in front of the carriage and saw that the gate of the house was quite magnificent, but when the carriage drove into the house, he could find that the inside was like a prison - the courtyard walls on all sides were more than two zhang high, and the walls were covered with thorns.
Inside the courtyard wall, there is a hollow-shaped courtyard, and soldiers wearing armor are stationed in the outer courtyard, closely monitoring the narrow inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is Wang Xian's main place, with two south rooms, plus the east and west wings, a total of four rooms, enclosing a narrow patio. A tall locust tree in the patio, with towering branches shrouding the entire patio underneath, is a rare shade in summer.
"This should be the most shabby marquis's mansion in history, right?" Dai Hua stood in the patio, looking at the rather decadent surroundings, although he had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but burst into flames. ridiculed the eunuch. The eunuch just smiled and said nothing.
"It's okay, you can go back and reply to the order, and you still hope that the food will not work?" Dai Hua glared at the eunuch.
The eunuch smiled and nodded, saluted Wang Xian, and quietly withdrew.
"Actually, the grade here is not low," After the eunuch left, Wang Xian touched a stone table in the courtyard, his hands were full of dust, but he smiled disapprovingly: "Before and after King Gu was abolished, he was confined here. Now I should be flattered to put me under house arrest as a little marquis. β
"Then don't say anything to the Marquis's Mansion!" Dai Hua said indignantly.
"Make people angry like this, and don't allow us to embarrass ourselves as a son?" Wang Xian smiled and pushed open the door of the main house, only to see that the wall skin was moldy, there were spiders hanging on the beams, and there was no laying on a kang platform. Wang Xian rolled up his sleeves: "Don't talk nonsense, before dark, we have to clean up this room and warm the kang, otherwise we will have to suffer at night." β
Although Wang Xian wanted to do it himself, how could Dai Hua agree, ask him and Gu Xiaolian to stay in the courtyard, and take someone to quickly clean the main house carefully.
Hurry up, clean up the main house before dark, and burn the kang again, when Wang Xian helped Gu Xiaolian into the house, he saw that it was really clean and warm, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "Wow, I can sleep well tonight." As he spoke, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Go and clean up your own room......
"Adults don't care about us, we can make do with anything." Dai Huahan laughed, and asked as if remembering something: "My lord thinks that King Zhao got us here?" β
"Zhu Di won't be so angry in doing things, and only a small guy like King Zhao would do this kind of thing." Wang Xian said lightly: "Pinning all your hopes on him, it's really not safe......."
In the Xiyuan dormitory, King Zhao had been waiting with the princes and ministers for a whole day, looking a little tired, but no one dared to leave.
King Zhao held his arms and stood outside the curtains, looking at the emperor who was still receiving acupuncture in the heavy curtains, but his heart had long since lost his mind. He very much wanted to take the opportunity to send his father to Emperor Taizu, so that he could perfectly frame Wang Xian. However, Zheng He, like a door god, has been guarding the emperor's side, so that he has no chance at all, seeing that time is passing little by little, and the opportunity is also lost little by little, King Zhao's anxious heart is in a hurry, but he is helpless, there is really some meaning that the six gods have no master.
Eunuch Yang walked in, leaned over to King Zhao's side, and whispered a few words softly.
