Chapter 31 What is the difference between Chu and Wei?

In the first year of Qianfeng (666 AD), the seventh day of the sixth month of summer, around 7:00 noon.

Penglai Palace is the queen's bedroom and the center of the bedroom. In the courtyard of the main hall, the palace people are busy and eunuchs are rushing. They all look hurried, look anxious and panicked, and their steps are messy. The left and right guards' palaces, the northern yamen's Yulin Imperial Guards, and the martial law palace gates.

The Imperial Medical Office Order Duan Fan was over 70 years old and his beard was as white as snow. He was carrying a medicine box on his shoulder, and four guards held it hostage, trembling in fear. When he entered the inner hall of Penglai, he saw the picture in front of him, his face turned pale as paper. He felt dizzy, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted.

There was a banquet in the hall, and there was a mess nearby, with no soup and countless pieces of porcelain. Several palace servants guarded the palace. The queen's face was ashen, her phoenix eyes were full of anger, and she stared at the southeast of the dining table. Two middle-aged men, wearing shallow robes, kneeling on the ground with their heads down, and their bodies were shaking like sieves.

A small piece of yellow stain oozed under their knees, probably because they were scared. On the floor opposite, there was a woman curled up in the palace dress and her clothes were luxurious and noble. She was less than twenty years old, and her eyes rolled up and blood oozed from the corners of her eyes.

The vermilion cherry mouth is filled with blood, polluting the green floor. The fascinating face is extremely ferocious and full of cruelty and unwillingness. The hair on the head is scattered, the body is covered with vegetable soup, and the shape is in a mess. The spoon held in the palm of the hand is broken at this moment, cutting the white fingers of the scallion.

Duan Fan got permission and forced himself to calm down and go for a trembling examination. It was just a routine inspection, and the person had already died of breath, so he left the body. He took the medicine box and the silver needle bag, inserted the silver needle into the food, and waited for two or three minutes. He pulled out the silver needle to check. If the needle body turned black, it meant that the food was poisonous.

The scene was silent, and the result was soon confirmed. Duan Qian suppressed fear and reported carefully: "The wife of Wei State passed away. The poison was the red crane, which was in the porridge. After the old minister's test, the food and dishes on the table were full of food and dishes, and only this porridge was poisonous."

The two kneeling people suddenly raised their heads and cried in tears. Kowtow was like pounding garlic, and Wu Huaiyun burst into tears: "I ask the queen to know the truth, I have not poisoned it. I don't know why there is a crane red in the guar powder I presented. We are wronged, please ask the queen to know the truth..."

Mei Niang's face was as deep as water, her chest was fluctuating violently, and her phoenix eyes were staring at Helan. Her hands hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but tremble and feel uncomfortable with her chest. Faced with such blood, no matter how strong or firm her mind was, she would be frightened.

After a while, the guards outside the door reported that Emperor Li Zhi was coming. There was another slight riot. Mei Niang instantly came back to her senses and signaled to the palace servants to help her. She hurried to welcome the car. Just as she walked out of the door, Li Zhi hurriedly arrived. She did not hesitate to say goodbye, and bypassed her side and strode into the hall.

He didn't hesitate at all and went straight to the corpse. He squatted down and picked it up, quickly brewing emotions, hugging and crying loudly. The crying was heart-wrenching, and he asked while crying: "Why is this happening? It was fine just now, why were you poisoned?"

Countless palace guards were trembling, and no one dared to speak. Mei Niang stepped slowly, glanced at the Wu brothers, and her eyes flashed with cruelty: "Wu Huaiyun and Wu Weiliang presented earth tribute powder. Helan took a few bites and suddenly died of poison."

Li Zhi did not respond and was still crying loudly. Mei Niang did not comfort her and continued to sue the two: "They were originally officials in Beijing, but because they were not happy, they were demoted to another place to work. So they felt resentful and tried to poison me by posing for tribute. Unexpectedly, by chance, Helan robbed the food of ginger porridge, but unfortunately suffered a murder."

The two brothers were scared and shouted loudly, shouting unjustly, and denied impatiently. The decree winked secretly, and several Yulin guards controlled them tightly and blocked their mouths. Li Zhi was furious and did not look at the Wu brothers, and Hawkeye glanced around.

When he found Wu Kang was not here, accusations followed: "Why is Wu Kang not here? I sent someone to pass on the system, why didn't I come to the banquet? I dared to disobey the orders and dared to despise the king's orders. What did he want to do? Could it be that Wu Kang poisoned the food and left the guards of the Yulin, and quickly went to arrest him here."

Mei Niang was frightened on the spot and hurriedly explained the reason: "Kang Lang was worried about Liaodong and said that there were major military and national affairs. He went to Zichen Hall to meet the saint. The eunuch Li De reported that when he received the news, he ordered a banquet. He had always been loyal to the saints and courts and did not dare to resist the orders. There must be misunderstandings. I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a clear review."

Li Zhi was furious and pointed at Mei Niang, roaring almost roaring: "I am in Zichen Palace, he didn't come at all, and the eunuch did not report. The facts are clear and clear. He colluded with the Wu brothers, poisoned the tribute, and intended to murder Wei. He had long doubted that he could not escape the death of Mrs. Han."

Mei Niang felt like she was struck by lightning, and she was afraid and didn't care about etiquette. She tried her best to excuse her. At this moment, Baliang hurried into the hall, knelt down on the ground, and cried out: "My maid told the saint that Zuo Fengyu and Du Huaigong, saying that Duke Chu was poisoned, and he might not have been killed long."

The hall suddenly became quiet, Mei Niang's eyes turned black, and her body collapsed instantly. The eunuchs and palace servants exclaimed, and they were in chaos again. Duan Fan immediately rescued him. Li Zhi stopped crying, and hesitated for half a minute. Then he continued to go wild and immediately ordered the deputies to tell Du Huaigong to meet him.

Huaigong rolled and crawled, ran into the hall and knelt down, all over, and pulled his hoarse voice, and reported in tears: When I led the team to patrol the palace and inspected the Zichen Gate, I found that the palace servants exclaimed, saying that someone fell into the water. I immediately went to check it out and came to the garden bridge and saw ripples in the lake.

I didn't think much about it at that time and jumped into the lake to save people. I never expected that the general fell into the water. When I rescued him ashore, he was already dying and bleeding from the corners of my mouth. I was frightened at that time, so I took the general and left directly to the Imperial Medical Office.

The doctor of medicine diagnosed that it was a strange poison in the body and would be in danger of life. They were helpless, and the weak minister was anxious and thought of the general's words. He once said that Li Gong, the doctor in the Secret Pavilion, was very good at forensic medicine, and could relieve all poisons with great skills.

Before I could think too much, I ran to the Secret Pavilion Bureau and begged Mr. Li to rescue him. Fortunately, Mr. Li was still there, and he rushed to the guard station and was applying needles at this moment. The general did not enter, and he kept vomiting blood, and his body became stiff.

I heard from the witnesses that the general went to Zichen Hall and walked to the Garden Bridge. He suddenly became crazy. He kept complaining that his stomach hurt, he lay on the ground and rolled, and then fell into the lake. If he had not been rescued in time, he would have been drowned by the water.

Huai Gongru cried and complained, finally finished speaking, pursing his lips and sobbing. Li Zhi's face was as deep as water, his expression was quite complicated, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Today's court meeting ends, he is still alive, why are he poisoned?"

Huai Gong was anxious and didn't understand why, and suddenly thought of something, so he told me: When Zuo Fengchen was digging, the general found Weichen and sent a box of food. He said that it was the chicken powder he brought from his father and brother and from Zizhou, and asked me to take it home for the children to taste.

When the court meeting ended, the general returned to the guard office and took the Zuo Yulin fish talisman. He said he was a little thirsty and asked me to make a pot of hot tea. Unfortunately, the tea was gone. I boiled hot water and made some cherry soup with the cherry powder he sent. The general had a good appetite, so he finished the cherry powder, and then went to Yulin Camp...

Before he finished speaking, Mei Niang had already woken up when she heard the crying sound. She knelt on the ground and accused the Wu brothers: "They also offered the cherry noodles that Kang Lang had eaten. Yesterday, I sent a charity official to Zuo Fengchen Guard, which was collected by Qiu Shenji."

He cried so hard that his fingers were trembling: "They had already conspired to poison them and wanted to harm my life. I never expected that they would not only harm Helan, but also implicate Kang Lang. Wu Huaiyun and Wu Weiliang, we are relatives, why are they so vicious? I beg your Majesty to restore Kang Lang justice."

Li Zhi expressed his miserable expression, and went to support Mei Niang and stared at the Wu brothers. After a long time, he sighed, a little angry at him and felt a little lost. He ordered the Yulin Imperial Army to detain the Wu brothers and send them to Xiantai first. Then he ordered the palace servants to clean up the mess in the palace and collect the body of the Helan family.

On the first day of the seventh month, Li Zhi issued an edict, and his son Li Xulun and King Yin changed his title to King Yu. The Crown Prince Zuo Zhonggu and the Grand Secretary Xian Liu Rengui were appointed as the right prime minister of Xitai. That night, Wu Kang was in full swing.

I found my wife in front of the bed and two cute daughters, all of whom were red and swollen. I looked at each other for three seconds, and they cried and laughed, and the room was noisy and quarreled. Wu Kang opened his mouth hard and asked a metaphysical question: Who am I, where is this, am I dead?

After saying that, he lost consciousness, and compared to the last time he was unconscious, he had a smile on his lips. He was in a good mood. His second daughter Wu Xiuniang, whose haggard face made him feel very relieved. It turns out that this daughter also loves her father in her heart.

On the evening of August 13th, Wu Kang woke up again and felt much better. He no longer felt nauseous and uncomfortable, and his breathing was smooth, but his muscles were stiff. He turned his head dullly, looked at his wife and daughter by the bed, and squeezed out a smile.

They were happily surrounded by the bed. The woman called her father and her daughter-in-law's voice was hoarse: "Two months and five days, my husband finally woke up, and I don't know how to survive. If you have an accident, how should I live with my two daughters..."

After saying that, he cried and Nao Nao hurriedly comforted him. The second girl brought tea. Wu Kang felt guilty and kept squirming his throat, and his words were pale and weak: "Madam, don't be excited, everything is over. I promise you that there will be no next time."

Xiaoqing couldn't speak, grabbed his hands and shook her head constantly. Nao Nao wiped away her tears, took the bowl Erya held, fed the warm water with a spoon, and kept sobbing: "Dad, get better soon, Nao Nao and Erya, you can't live without you."

Wu Kang was also very uncomfortable, so he couldn't speak, so he could only smile and nod. After a long time, there was a knock on the door and Naoba went to open the door. Qian Shun and Li Chunfeng, before they arrived at the sickbed, Chunfeng sighed and told Xiaoqing and his daughter: "There is no big deal. Let's go back and rest. I'll take care of the care tonight."

Qian Shun also whispered, destroying the boss's spirit and finally persuaded them to leave. Qian Shun left the gate, leaving only Li Chunfeng. After a physical examination, he sighed again: "The medicine I gave you finally came in handy, and I finally escaped this disaster. I really can't imagine that you have the courage to harm yourself."

Wu Kang smiled and said, in order to save his life, what is self-harm? He put it to death and then died. That day, he clearly felt that a disaster was about to come, so he decided to take poison. The medicine was made of Chunfeng, sealed in a wax pill, and hid it in a calculation bag.

When Yu Zhining passed away, he left a strange suicide note, which alluded to the death. Wu Kang remembered it in his heart and went to visit Li Chunfeng and asked him for advice. Chunfeng was both slapping and calculating, but he sighed. Finally, he only said one sentence, let's come back three days later.

When I visited the door as scheduled, Chunfeng gave him wax pills and instructions for taking them, and told him in this way: If Eunuch Gao comes to invite him, it means he is unable to make up for the world, and take two of them together. If Eunuch Li comes to invite him, it means he will survive in a desperate situation and only eat one.

The instructions for use are as follows: Compared with arsenic|frost, this medicine is not inferior to that of arsenic and frost, but it will not cause any pain. If you swallow two, the Daluo Jinxian will not be able to save his life. If you only take one, you must take the antidote within two hours, otherwise you will die.

The side effects are quite great. With the general's physique, he was in a coma for at least two months. The so-called Eunuch Li is Meiniang's confidant, and the corresponding Eunuch Gao is Li Zhi's confidant. Fortunately, Li Deguan came to invite him, so he only accepted one.

Chunfeng sat beside the bed, holding his wrist to take his pulse, putting it in the quilt after finishing it, and said seriously: "If you have another two months of cultivation, all the toxins in your blood will be eliminated and you will be able to recover as before. You should be grateful and respectful. He came to me in time, otherwise he would be unable to make a comeback. Do you want to know what happened after you fell into a coma that day?"

Wu Kang nodded quickly, "You are unreasonable, don't keep it a secret, hurry up and tell it out. Chunfeng sneered at him, sat upright in front of the sickbed, and began a brief chapter: The Wu family banquet in Penglai Palace, the Wu brothers presented the cherry noodles, and the Shangshi Bureau made it into cherry porridge.

The wife of Wei State's porridge was put on the crane's head. She only drank half a bowl and died of bleeding from seven orifices. There was rumors in the inner palace that the Wu brothers plotted to poison the Wei State in order to please the queen. They were detained in Xiantai, and the Grand Secretary Xian Liu Rengui was personally responsible for the interrogation.

After listening to Chunfeng's narration, Wu Kang smiled but said nothing. Li Jiu was really cruel. Helan was poisoned and was afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court would put shit on my head. Because everyone knew that she had an affair with Li Jiu and intended to replace the queen.

Because everyone knows that my Wu Kang and Wu Bian were the queen's lackey. For my sister, I could take risks, and this was the motive for the crime. If I were also present in the family banquet in Penglai Hall, then there would be a place and time for the crime.

So to sum up, this will become an iron case. Nai Weng jumped into the Yellow River and could not clear the charge. The consequences are very serious. If you poison the palace, you will definitely die. The black-bellied emperor Li Jiu can be so arrogant, crying hypocritical, and killing relatives with tears.

The more I think about it, the more I despise Li Jiu, who killed thousands of swords, was so despicable to plot against Nai Weng. How could he be so cruel to share the same bed with you? Sacrifice it if you say sacrifice. You are so awesome, Nai Weng is willing to take the lead. If there is any woman who has sex with me, even if she has a fuss, I will not harm me.

You are determined and your main goal is me, and your secondary goal is the Wu family. You will take the opportunity to implicate and deal with all the relatives of the Wu family. Wu Huaiyun and Wu Weiliang, even the governor of Haozhou, Yuan Shuang, who did not enter Beijing, will be in trouble.

After roughly sorting out the process, he frowned and pondered for a moment, turned his head and asked Li Chunfeng: "The saint wants to kill me, so he only needs an edict. Why is it so troublesome? If you hold a banquet in the palace, you have to sacrifice your mistress, put a big circle, take off your pants and fart?"

Chunfeng sneered at the nose and taught a sarcastic lesson: "General Zuo Fengchen, General Zuo Yulin, General Zuo Rongwei are not just small bed bugs. After years of military career, he has made countless military achievements. How can he be easily killed? Without corresponding charges, he cannot convince the public. All civil and military officials in the court will feel disappointed."

It seems that there is some truth, but Wu Kang is flattered and secretly complains. Li Jiu sets up this situation and thinks he is perfect, but he ends up laughing at it. Duke Yan of Yu Zhining and Duke Guangping County Liu Xiangdao had already had insight into the opportunity.

They even knew that your plan was not eaten by Chu and Wei, which was a perfect interpretation. They both reminded me that no matter when and where, I would not be able to sit with Helan. But what I did was even more amazing. I tried to swallow poison by eating poison directly, and I would become a victim and be completely out of the matter.

Li Jiu, Li Jiu, if you miss this opportunity, don’t try to use the same trick again. Li Chunfeng said it right. Kill me legitimately. Unless it is a serious crime of treason, I will not give you a chance. Even if you are intrigue with you, you will be full of joy.

It’s just that my wife and daughter have been implicated. I guess she will cry in the past two months. With Xiaoqing’s persistence, if I report it first, she will die of depression. And my Erya has already lost her mother. If she loses her father again, how should she live?

I couldn't help but feel sad and restrained my thoughts. Looking at Chunfeng again, Chen Ken thanked me: "Sir, I have been caring for me for a long time and have saved my life several times. Wu Kang felt it very much and wanted to ask for advice, why do I help me?"

Chunfeng was silent and replied after a long time: "My teacher once criticized that in July of the third year of Yonghui, my life span was exhausted. If Taibai Star appeared in the daytime, he would have lived in the martial arts generation, and he would have lived for eighteen years. Because he owed kindness, he tried his best to repay the debt. This is natural."

Wu Kang was dumbfounded. In July of the third year of Yonghui, when his soul penetrated the Tang Dynasty. This is so mysterious. Am I so awesome? I can live on the Wushu Li Xing? I will live for eighteen years. According to his meaning, 670 AD is his death date?

It felt a little heavy, and Wu Kang smiled with a strong face: "You don't owe me anything, but I owe you a lot. Please don't worry, sir, I will pay back the debt of favors. Let's not talk about this for now. The Wu brothers were escorted and Liu Rengui were presiding. Shangguan Yi called him a gentleman. How would the sir think Liu Rengui handle this case?"

Chunfeng sneered even more, took out the silver needle and stabbed the acupoint on his face. He quickly became a hedgehog. After about two quarters of an hour, he pulled out one by one. He put away the silver needle sac and said sarcastically: "Bianzhi is a real villain, Rengui is a hypocrite, let me tell you a story."

The story was soon finished, and the old charlatan's evaluation was incisive. On the first day of last month, Rengui was promoted to the right prime minister and the chief of the Secretariat. When he was in trouble, the person who forced him to commit suicide was the supervisor of the censor Yuan Yishi, who followed Wu Kang's arrangements. He used his relationship to find a way, and wanted to leave the Xiantai and become an official elsewhere.

After some operation, Li Anqi, the young master of the Si Lie, appointed him as Duan Yin Cheng, and only waited for the emperor's approval. Duan Yin was an official of the Eastern Palace, who was originally the crown prince Zhan Shi, and was renamed the crown prince Duan Yin. The highest commander of the Eastern Palace, commanded the three temples and ten commanders, and his position was very important. Wukang's Youchongye Guard was also under the jurisdiction of Duan Yin.

The so-called Duan Yin Cheng is the third in charge of Duan Yin, and the official rank is the sixth rank. He is just a so-called person, and no matter his power or status, he is not as prominent as the censor. The public opinion is rampant, and the masses do not understand the truth, and they all ridiculed Liu Rengui, saying that he excluded the different styles and said that he took revenge on his own.

Liu Rengui was not happy, so in order to maintain his reputation, he decisively wrote to the court. He recommended Yuan Yishi as the doctor of the Zhongtai Siyuan, who was the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. He was from the fifth rank. In the words of later generations, he was the director of the accounting department of the Ministry of Finance. Compared with Duan Yincheng, he not only had a higher status, but also had a great power.

After being approved by the court, he took office in a different way, and the people who were obsessed with melons were climaxed. They all praised Liu Rengui for not avoiding grudges and repaying grievances with virtue. However, there were also wise people, the censor Du Yijian, who supervised the censor, and said to Xu Jingzong: Liu Rengui's move was too much.

If the bent thing is straightened and then tilted to the other side, it is an overcorrection. It is a metaphor for correcting mistakes, which exceeds the limit. Wu Kang deeply agrees with it, and this is a political show, and he is not surprised. Rengui is a politician. With his cleverness, this poisoning case will not be investigated carefully.

Li Zhi's intention was to use this incident to defeat all the relatives of the foreigners. Rengui knew it very well and would definitely confirm the charge and flatter the emperor. Wu Kang secretly called it a pity that Brother Huaiyun, Brother Weiliang, you two are in trouble. If Di Renjie presided over the trial, there might be a change. If Liu Rengui presided over the trial, you will definitely die...
