Chapter 175.
After a long time ……
A eunuch came in hurriedly.
In a low voice, he said, “That traitor finally confessed, it was arsenic.”
Upon hearing that it is arsenic, also lost ha face miserable, he was to assist Zhu to turn over, but at this time, two legs are soft, directly the whole person spread on the ground.
Arsenic ah …… this is a very poisonous thing …… no medicine can be solved.
That Imperial Doctor Xu also gave a violent start, his eyes glazed over, and he didn’t say a word.
On the contrary, Zhang Anshi …… at this time, a stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground.
If it was any other poison, he really wasn’t sure.
But the only arsenic …… he remembered that in his last life in the middle of the readings of science, but kept in mind the antidote method in the head.
His first reaction, was to induce vomiting, which is actually useless against some poisons, except for arsenic, which is very effective.
Of course …… this is all predicated on …… getting to the arsenic before it is digested by the gut.
Beyond that …… is that the arsenic eaten was not excessive.
And Zhang Anshi’s judgment was that the person who poisoned could not have overdosed, because a large amount of poison would definitely make the food or tea have a strange taste, but instead it would be easy to be detected.
As long as the amount is small and the means are taken in time, if Zhu’s health is good, he should have a good chance of making it through.
All of a sudden, Zhang Anshi’s heart was filled with hope!
Of course, at this point, it has to be a race against the clock.
So he hastily bellowed, “What are all frozen for? Hurry up, all come over to me, go on …… and …… prepare me the egg whites, oh, and the milk, I see that the salt water is almost ready, and then bring me a bucket of this each, be quick!”
Zhang Anshi’s voice had calmed down Yiluoha, he fixed his mind, right now it was a dead horse, there was no other way but to trust Zhang Anshi.
As for Imperial Doctor Xu, his face was pale and his hands were trembling unconsciously.
But Zhang Anshi glared at him and drank coldly, “Into your mother, if you slack off here again, the first one will kill you.”
By this point, Imperial Doctor Xu realized that there was not even the last possibility of paddling.
You know, this is the wife and brother of the crown prince, if His Majesty dies and the crown prince grandson succeeds to the throne, the crime will certainly not be Zhang Anshi’s.
Then …… the doctor died His Majesty …… must have planted it on his head.
How am I so destined to suffer, learning how to paddle in the palace all my life, and as a result …… the good swimmer drowned!
Eunuch Xu, however, did not dare to complain, and could only obediently listen to Zhang Anshi’s commands at this time.
Zhu Di, the poisoner, only felt the sky spinning at this time.
Vomiting over and over again made his entire body pumped up and uncomfortable.
First it was that salt water, and then it turned into egg whites, and the fishy flavor of the egg whites, which violently poured into his throat, and then …… his stomach began to expand continuously.
Grumbling, forced to pour this egg white into Zhu Zhu s stomach, and so on Zhang Anshi a few a turn, Zhang Anshi a pat on his back, so …… Zhu Zhu began to vomit desperately again.
It’s a feeling that’s really worse than being dead.
When he was in the throes of consciousness, he heard the word arsenic, and his heart had sunk to the bottom.
Thus …… countless regrets came into his mind.
In this life, from the war heroes of the emperor, and then seized the nephew’s throne of the emperor …… for today …… I do not know how much to spend on the heart, but now ……
Regrets ……
Unwilling ……
A myriad of emotions flooded the mind.
Empress Xu, the Crown Prince, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxu, as well as …… his grandchildren …… and even …… Xu Huizu, Zhang Anshi… …Zhang Yoking for Yoking ……
This a personal …… streak.
These are the people and experiences he has lived through in his life ……
Fear began to grow in him violently.
After death, will he meet Emperor Taizu Gao, and will he meet his brother Zhu Biao.
If you see them …… I have not yet accomplished my work, what face ……
At last …… it was no longer the white of that egg that filled his throat, but milk.
This milk was viscous and poured through the funnel, moreover, it made Zhu’s gradually losing consciousness, awake again for a moment.
Unfortunately, the funnel was pointed at him, making it impossible for him to make any noise.
Yes, yes …… the crown prince is not on the imperial side, what will …… change at this time?
Everything has been put out of Zhu’s control, and this loss of control makes him even more tormented.
Slowly …… he lost consciousness ……
Just reflexively continue to vomit.
Zhang Anshi was already sweating profusely, and he was too exhausted to speak.
Having already gone through the operation an unknown number of times, Zhang Anshi already felt disengaged.
Yilungha looked at Zhang Anshi six-fold and said, “Do you still want to pour?”
Zhang Anshi slowed down and said, “Filled so many big buckets …… I think …… it is enough, why don …… t you wash your intestines on the way? ”
“Cleansing?” Yilseha was unsure.
Zhang Anshi then said, “I’ll teach you how to do it, and you’ll get it for His Majesty yourself later.”
Also lost ha panicked: “Annan Hou, can not ah, not you around, we …… we have no idea ah.”
Zhang Anshi said, “It’s fine, aren’t there still eunuchs here?”
Zhang Anshi pointed at Imperial Doctor Xu.
Imperial Doctor Xu began to roll his eyes, he rolled his eyes with premeditation, feeling that at this time, he had to hasten to faint, this is the last killer, as long as the ‘fainting’, perhaps it can be muddled through, if even this scheme of the golden cicadas is useless, then one is really at one’s wit’s end.”
Who knows he just started rolling his eyes.
Zhang Anshi was instantly furious and directly and dryly raised his hand to give him a slap.
Snap ……
Imperial Doctor Xu winced and covered his fiery face.
Zhang Anshi said, “So close, I almost thought that Dr. Xu was going to faint, fortunately I saved you in time, how is it, Dr. Xu, are you in good spirits now?”
Dr. Xu: “……”
Also Lostha said, “Dr. Xu, help quickly when you are in spirit.”
Doctor Xu nodded his head slowly and said in a sultry voice, “Oh, oh …… here it comes ……”
Zhang Anshi then patiently taught the so-called enema method of this Yilungha.
On the side, Imperial Doctor Xu was shocked to hear this.
His whole body went numb ……
That would be considered pallbearer work, wouldn’t it?
Zhang Anshi then said, “Eunuch, now you understand.”
I also lost Ha Road: “We do not understand these, Dr. Xu, do you understand?”
Imperial Doctor Xu wanted to shake his head, but he was afraid that Zhang Anshi would hit him and subconsciously said, “Understood.”
“Good.” Yiluoha said, “Let’s send His Majesty to the chambers, and this is an enema with Imperial Doctor Xu.”
Also lost Ha then said: “Now that His Majesty was poisoned, we have been a monstrous crime, the palace …… and the accomplices of the rebellion, we have let Liu Yongcheng side of the preparedness, which Liu Yongcheng is the most trusted, in addition to …… I teach Park Sanjie to assist Annan Hou, Annan Hou do not trespass in the palace, need to wait for the crown prince down, this Park Sanjie is also able to trust people, Annan Hou have something, can command him to do.”
Zhang Anshi nodded wearily, “Go, it’s not too late.”
At that moment, the two agreed, but also lost the Ha ordered people, puffing and puffing to lead the Xu doctor carried Zhu on the carriage, rushed to the big inside and go.
Zhang Anshi sat for a few moments, his mouth was dry and wanted to drink tea, but also thought that the tea in the palace was now uneasy.
Then he asked Park Sanjie to take him to the place where he was holding that Xu Wen.
However, he saw that Xu Wen had been tied up, his head hanging low and a disheveled look on his face.
He obviously knew what he’d be up against.
Just when Zhang Anshi walked in, he immediately revealed a smug look and said, “How are the student’s means?”
Originally, he thought that Zhang Anshi would definitely go forward and beat him severely to vent his anger.
But Zhang Anshi was actually surprisingly calm and said, “Not bad, it seems to have quite a few levels. It’s just a pity …… that you always have a bad move.”
Xu Wen laughed: “Hahaha …… by now, but also dead duck mouth hard, oh, I actually forgot, you are the crown prince s wife and brother, this Zhu Di died, your brother-in-law will be able to grams to succeed the great system, this is not a bad thing for you.”
“It is just a pity …… that you this brother-in-law’s big position, I am afraid that you can not sit steadily, now the world is beginning to settle, and how many people are convinced that Zhu Di? Even Zhu Di are not convinced, let alone Zhu Gaoqi? Furthermore ……”
He continued with a weird face: “His Highness, the King of Zhao, is not still in the capital? As for His Highness the Acting King, hand in hand with Datong’s troops, this Nanjing city on his whip can not reach, if he took the opportunity to rise, the local inevitable response, at that time, it will be a military Jingdan, in a matter of days will be able to arrive in Nanjing under the city, you and Zhu Gaoqi, will have to do the ghost of the knife.”
Zhang Anshi still looked at him calmly and said, “Have you ever had a feeling?”
“What?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Has there ever been a …… feeling that although he thinks highly of himself and always feels as if he has done everything right, but in the end he always fails.”
Xu Wen sneered, “What do you mean by that?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Soon you will experience what it’s like, don’t be in a hurry, I won’t make things difficult for you, take a good rest here now and enjoy the most relaxing and enjoyable time in the rest of your life, because after some more time, there will be no more good days like this.”
Xu Wen said, “By now, even still talking hard. I know that I will die, but there is no residual hatred, but you …… wait for the generation of the king to take the throne …… my children and grandchildren will be able to become the dukes and lords, and you …… all clan extinction. ”
Zhang Anshi only said, “We’ll see.”
Walked out of the small hall.
Park Sanjie hurriedly came and whispered, “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Imperial Grandson have entered the palace.”
Zhang Anshi did not dare to delay and was hurriedly led by Park Sanjie to greet him.
After receiving the news, Zhu Gaoqi’s face became ugly, limping and trotting into the palace.
As soon as he saw Zhang Anshi, his face was full of anxiety and he panted, “How could such a thing happen, where is Father?”
Zhu Zhanji also bawled, “Royal grandfather, my royal grandfather …… wooooooooo ……”
Zhang Anshi said with relief, “Brother-in-law, you and do not be anxious, it is still in the medical treatment ……”
Zhu Gaoqi said, “What kind of poison did Father get?”
Zhang Anshi said truthfully, “Arsenic.”
Hearing the word arsenic, Zhu Gaoqi only felt faint, he looked desperate, fortunately, Park Sanjie held him up.
Zhu Gaoqi said, “How could it come to such a point ah, who poisoned …… me to see my father …… to see my father for the last time.”
Zhu Zhanji also cried harder, his body twitching as if he was going to faint.
Zhu Gaoqi made a decision on the spot and hurriedly headed to the big interior.
Because Zhu Zhanji cried a lot, simply left Zhu Zhanji here and taught him to go back a step.
Zhang Anshi then held Zhu Zhanji in his arms and saw his brother-in-law limping away.
Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t cry, why are you crying at this time!”
Zhu Zhanji burst into tears and continued to bawl, “Uncle, this time it’s true …… I’m heartbroken …… Imperial Grandpa treated me so well… …Oooooooo……”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty still has a chance of survival ……”
“I don’t believe ……” Zhu Zhanji voice are crying: “You don’t lie to me, eat arsenic, then must die.”
Zhang Anshi said, “But there’s Uncle, what are you afraid of.”
Zhu Zhanji’s howling a little stopped the meaning of no, the side said: “A uncle will be the most deceitful …… A uncle is a big liar, A uncle mouth words, none of them is true …… My royal grandfather is gone! …… Whoops ……”
Zhang Anshi stormed at this time, wanting to scold him, but finally sighed and said, “Hey …… you are good, listen to A uncle, save it for crying later.”
Said, even coaxed, finally Zhu Zhanji howling turned into a sob.
After all, he was just a small child, tired of crying, he lay on Zhang Anshi’s shoulder, his head skewed, tears and saliva and snot, all falling on Zhang Anshi’s shoulder, whimpering, “A-uncle, I’m having a hard time in my heart.”
Zhang Anshi hugged him, step by step, and walked towards the grand interior, sighing, “You also have hard times, you sleep for a while, maybe if you sleep for a while, your imperial grandfather will be fine.”
Zhu Zhanji said, “I don’t dare to sleep, I can’t sleep.”
Zhang Anshi said helplessly, “Why are you so long-winded.”
Zhu Zhanji said, “Then A uncle you hum a tune for me, Sister humming a tune …… I’ll gradually fall asleep of.”
Zhang Anshi said, “I am not a Sister ……”
“Imperial grandfather ……” Zhu Zhanji showed signs of crying out again.
Zhang Anshi was annoyed in his heart, “Okay, I’ll hum a tune and listen well, no talking.”
Zhang Anshi chirped and sang, “I’m going to bomb school …… No, I’m going to school ……”
“I don’t want to listen.” Zhu Zhanji said, “It’s too hard to hear, forget it, I’m not going to sleep, and I’m not going to cry, I can’t cry, and later on, when Royal Grandpa knows that I’m crying sadly, he must also be extremely sad ……”
Zhang Anshi carried Zhu Zhanji into the big house.
In the bedchamber, Empress Xu and Crown Prince Zhu Gaoqi were already at the couch.
Zhu had already taken an enema, but the toxin had entered his body and his consciousness was already blurred and in a fainting state.
Zhu Gaoqi has long been in tears, kneeling under the couch.
Empress Xu also dropped her teardrops one by one, sitting in front of the couch, indifferent to the outside world.
Yishakha was hunched over, and had no claim at this point.
The one who was the most miserable was Imperial Doctor Xu, who was trying to slowly move to the entrance of the hall, a little further away from that sick couch, in order to put his mind at ease a little.
But at this moment, Zhang Anshi came in holding Zhu Zhanji, and he immediately stopped his footsteps and stood motionless like a wooden stake.
Zhang Anshi rested Zhu Zhanji, who was cradled in his hands, on the ground.
Zhu Zhanji didn’t go forward, seeing that his Royal Grandfather was ‘asleep’, he obediently sought out a corner of the hall and sat down on his knees, burying his head and not letting out any air.
Seeing this, Zhang Anshi also obediently went next to Zhu Zhanji and sat down on his knees.
At this point, Zhang Anshi could no longer do anything about it.
At this point, all that needs to be done has been done. Whether or not His Majesty will come back to life is up to him.
After experiencing today’s busyness, Zhang Anshi was able to spare some time at this time, and at this time, he could not help but calm down a bit, thinking of the worst possible outcome in his heart.
If His Majesty doesn’t wake up ……
This thought nourished, but it startled Zhang Anshi in his heart.
This may …… not be a bad result for Zhang Anshi.
But …… Zhang Anshi was not happy.
To be honest …… he likes Zhu Zhu s nature.
It’s not because the guy has a foul mouth.
Rather, it’s because ……
In short, I can not say, in any case, they can not think like this, people live in the world, if everything is to benefit from the loss of evaluation, that can only be driven by the interests of the people, but he a person with feelings!
Unconsciously, someone was sobbing and actually knelt down and sat beside Zhang Anshi as well.
Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but look sideways, but saw that it was Yi Wang Zhu sobbing in a low voice and also entered the hall, not daring to come close to Zhu’s bed, but went to the side of Zhang Anshi and Zhu Zhanji, silently sitting down on his knees, wiping his tears continuously.
The three men were of varying sizes, but they all looked frustrated beyond belief.
Just then, Empress Xu wiped her tears and said, “Also lost ha.”
Yiluoha had a mournful look on his face and was busy bowing forward, “Your Highness.”
Empress Xu’s voice seems extraordinarily cold this day, “The person who poisoned, have you found him yet?”
“Slave girl ten thousand deaths, slave girl now can’t care …… but …… all the people who may have poisoned, slave girl has taught people to control …… ”
Empress Xu nodded, “Then this blood debt will be settled later.”
“The slave girl has the crime of ten thousand deaths, there is such a traitor in this palace, the slave girl did not even notice …… the slave girl ……”
Yishakha fell down in obeisance, whimpering and sobbing.
Empress Xu said, “Now is not the time to talk about this …… Your Majesty …… Your Majesty …… Hey… …”
Saying that, Empress Xu looked at Zhu Gaoqi, “Crown Prince ……”
Zhu Gaoqi only felt in a trance, and only after hearing Empress Xu’s words did he slightly ease some of his mind and kowtowed in Empress Xu’s direction, “Mother ……”
Empress Xu said, “Your father …… If there is really …… really an eventuality, this ancestor’s rivers and mountains, will be burdened on your body …… You …… you ……”
Zhu Gaoqi busy shaking his head said, “Father’s good fortune will help you, it will not be fine, and …… there is also Anshi …… his medical skills are extremely good, there must be a way.”
Empress Xu glanced at Zhang Anshi in the corner, it was not easy to stop the teardrops, and could not help but tearfully said, “Such a poison, is not trivial, you have to be prepared in your heart, your father …… must now be full of posthumous hatred, what he hates, in addition to is the unwillingness to let go of us, there are also …… can not let the world’s subjects …… subjects ……”
Empress Xu painfully said: ”Subjects to see a glimpse of him, he this emperor, can certainly make the world’s subjects live in peace and happiness, want to set up a monumental achievement …… Only then, this Jingnan can not be looked down upon, do not teach those behind the back of chewing on the root of the people … …have an excuse. Your father is a life of bravado, now …… he may not be able to do some of this, in the future, you will be succeeded by the great system, be sure to inherit his legacy …….”
Zhu Gaoqi’s eyes were full of sorrow, just said, “Yes, yes …… the child minister …… will never forget.”
Empress Xu’s health is not good, at this time has said no more words, serving her eunuchs see, busy assist her to one side to rest.
Zhu Gaoqi knelt like this, not moving, and did not dare to make a sound, and this hall became even quieter.
Only the occasional sound of tiny footsteps came out.
A eunuch tiptoed in and whispered, “Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Zhao …… asks to see you.”
When Empress Xu heard this, her face suddenly became stern.
She scanned the surrounding area and suppressed her tired voice, “How does King Zhao know about what’s going on in the palace? Not only are there people poisoning the palace, but there are even people passing messages with foreign ministers?”
At these words, everyone was even more afraid to utter a breath.
Traditionally, when an emperor is ill, he has to be barred from the news first, and only by order of His Majesty or the Empress can the most beloved ministers be summoned to the palace to finalize the affairs of the afterlife first.
Now that His Majesty had fainted and Empress Xu had yet to issue her decree, the King of Zhao had suddenly entered the palace to ask for an audience, and it was not hard to guess that news might have leaked out.
The eunuch who came to deliver the report was so frightened that his face was miserable and he just kowtowed.
Yizhuoha wailed, “Your Highness, it is the slave girl who is lax in her supervision, if there is really any good or bad, please be gracious enough to allow the slave girl to go to the underground palace to accompany His Majesty’s side.”
Empress Xu ignored him.
Instead, he calmly said, “Go tell King Zhao to teach him to be peaceful and obedient and listen to the decree outside the palace; His Majesty doesn’t want to see him right now, and this palace doesn’t want to see him right now either.”
When the eunuch heard this, he went off in flames.
Empress Xu turned to Yiluoha, “Where is Liu Yongcheng?”
“It has gone to the Warrior Camp.”
Empress Xu nodded: “Give Liu Yongcheng under a note, after nightfall, with warrior battalion to guard the gates of the great inner. As for the imperial city …… fortunately, the brother of this palace is still in the capital, also give him a note, the five military governor’s office to strictly order the mobilization of soldiers and horses, any soldiers and horses dare to go out of the camp without authorization, go out of the camp of the upper and lower officers and soldiers, no matter what the reason is, the stand to kill without amnesty!”
Also Lostha said, “The slave girl will go and do it now. Just ……”
Yizhuoha thought about it, just to get up, suddenly kneeled down again, said, “Your Majesty …… there is another matter …… when to call the minister into the meeting?”
The ministers here are not summoned by just anyone.
Instead, they invited into the Great House, the ministers of the heart who had deliberated on the posthumous edict.
These men had to be both highly placed and ensure absolute loyalty, and it was only after they had finalized all matters by entering the Great House that the Emperor’s true condition could be announced.
Now that His Majesty is in such a state, in order to ensure that the Crown Prince can succeed to the throne, it is necessary to do so early.
If not, now that the inner sanctum has been blocked, and the palace has begun to change its defenses, inside and outside the court, rumors are sure to spread, and the longer the time drags on, the more likely it is that something will change.
To know …… now is Yongle three years, Zhu Di ascended to the throne in fact, but only the area of three or four years, within such a short period of time, many of those who do not serve is still not purged, and those who still miss the hearts of people in the previous dynasty, or think of the people who miss the Jianwen, are as many as the hairs of the head.
Empress Xu’s face was filled with pain, and she looked at Zhang Anshi instead at this moment, “Anshi, you come forward.”
Zhang Anshi then busied himself by going forward and said, “Your Highness.”
Empress Xu said, “You say honestly, this arsenic …… can still be saved? Don’t talk to this palace about what if, what maybe, you tell the truth.”
Zhang Anshi said, “I am quite certain.”
Although Empress Xu does not dare to fully believe, but at this time …… she seems to be mindful of what to expect, then nodded, looked to also lost Ha Road: “Hear that?”
Yizhuha understood Empress Xu s meaning, which is …… not to call the minister.
Because once the minister is summoned, it means that the emperor is either hopeless or has already died.
In his heart, he did not store such a glimmer of hope, so he was relieved, “The slave servant first went to pass on the Queen’s oracle.”
He said, and went off in a hurry.
Empress Xu was in no mood for anything at the moment, she had already forced herself to speak after trying to restrain herself and say something just now, and now she was only silent.
After another moment, the eunuch came in, knelt down, and said, “Your Majesty …… Zhao Wang came to ask for an audience again, saying …… that he …… wished to serve His Majesty. ”
Empress Xu was saddened to hear this.
In any case, the King of Zhao is also her son.
It’s all in her heart, too.
Now your own husband is like this.
And the king of Zhao, who is a son, …… pleaded again and again.
Any mother who is a mother is afraid that she will not be able to refuse this request.
Empress Xu only felt exhausted, but she was strong and said, “Once again, tell him that you relayed to him the original words of this palace, and don’t omit them at once.”
The eunuch strained his ears.
Empress Xu said word for word: “If he still has filial piety, immediately back to Zhao Wangfu, closed door, to the time, the Palace will call him to the Palace. If he still want to be like this, then it is not care about the mother and son, you Zhao Wang is born out of me, is also a piece of meat off the body of the Palace, the Palace regards you as a pearl, but now this time, if you Zhao Wang still do not know how to advance and retreat, then …… the Palace does not have you as a son, and must be taught to immediately take you down, your life is the Palace, the Palace At any time can take back. Hope he can be good for himself, filial piety to his majesty’s matter, there is the crown prince can, the crown prince is the first eldest son, should serve the emperor, you for the youngest son, do their own part of the matter.”
The eunuch’s face was miserable as he listened.
This eunuch could already imagine that once he went to the King of Zhao with these original words, the King of Zhao’s nature would only be afraid that he would have to tear himself apart.
Empress Xu stood up and stared at this eunuch, it seemed that she also knew what kind of virtue her youngest son had, therefore, she stood up with a slight tremor, took a deep breath, and swept her gaze at this eunuch as if it were electricity: “Tell him again that if he doesn’t listen to him, he will be executed!”
The eunuch kowtowed, “The slave servant knows.”
Said ……
This eunuch flamed out of the Great Hall.
Soon, outside of this great inner sanctum, many ministers who had heard some rumors appeared in the cabinet.
Everyone had no idea what was going on, yet they had a vague feeling as if something was happening.
This Wen Yuan Pavilion university professors are well-informed, and in the palace office, naturally, some people come to Wen Yuan Pavilion to spy on the news.
But Xie Jin several …… also ignorant of this.
Instead, they were the last to know of a possible change of heart within the Grand.
Yang Rong pacified to Wen Yuan Pavilion of several Shangshu, said: “gentlemen, gentlemen …… do not speculate around, this is where the rumors ……”
And Zhao Wang Zhu Gao Suo, in fact, has also arrived, he entered the palace, but can not enter the big house, under the helplessness, thinking that if there is something wrong with his father, must be called Wen Yuan Ge ministers.
If the Minister of Wen Yuan Pavilion was summoned to the Great House, then in all probability, Father had really met with an untimely death.
As soon as he thought of this …… Zhu Gao Suo had a feeling that time was running out.
…………
I’m tired of writing these days, so every time it’s after twelve o’clock before I finish, it’s even later, so I apologize to you all again, and by the way, brothers and sisters, can I get some monthly votes? I love you all.
