211,—the twenty-third cannon fodder—(1/3)
For Ma Yuanzhi, it no longer matters whether the poison on his body was poisoned by Li Yi. In fact, he was the only one who had this motive and had this opportunity.
He hated that he had misjudged the situation. He thought he was helping a puppet, but unexpectedly it was a wild wolf. Now that wolf turned around and bit him, it was really not worth the loss.
Since you want me to die so much, then you don't want to live in peace.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Ma Yuanzhi has dominated the court for decades. Even after Li Yi came to power, some of his party members were eliminated. However, due to Ma Yuanzhi's power, he did not retain some of his important ministers.
move.
Among these important ministers, some are truly smart and able to wait and see the situation, while others are simply attached to Ma Yuanzhi to obtain official positions. Such people are now being exploited by Ma Yuanzhi.
Maybe they knew that Ma Yuanzhi was using them, but they were not used by Ma Yuanzhi. When Ma Yuanzhi died, they were also disposed of by Li Yi. They might as well follow Ma Yuanzhi as always and be used by him.
, maybe Ma Yuanzhi will stand up in the future, and they will become heroes by then.
Since Ma Yuanzhi had determined that it was Li Yi who had brought him to this end, he was ready to retaliate with an eye for an eye while he was awake.
If Ma Yuanzhi was not ruthless enough, he would not be in his current position.
However, Li Yi also regarded Ma Yuanzhi's current condition as a sign of God's will, and he got retribution. He had no idea that Ma Yuanzhi wanted to deal with him. The first one to discover some problems was Yao Jinling.
Since she became Concubine Li, she has been the only mistress of the harem besides Queen Mother Zheng. Her life is naturally very nourishing, but she has not given up her wisdom and has become a fool.
Li Yi often looks sleepy now, and sometimes he can fall asleep during meals. Everyone thinks that he is tired from dealing with official duties. Only Yao Jinling, with her keen intuition from many years of living in the palace, lets her know all this.
It's not that simple.
She also specially asked Bu Xiaoshun to bring her some refreshing incense and other things from outside the palace. She used it on Li Yi but it had no use at all, which made her even more convinced of her idea.
She didn't know who did this, but she knew that Li Yixin always remembered a woman. This woman was Ma Yuanzhi's niece. Ma Yuanzhi always wanted to take power. Everyone knew this. If
If Li Yi has three strengths and two weaknesses, then he is very likely to take power, so she only needs to use it.
"The emperor always thought that his physical condition was due to sleepiness. There is no difference at all. It's just General Ma. Why don't we just use those powerful drugs?"
Ma Yuanzhi, who was lying on the bed, could no longer move, but a sinister smile appeared on his face, "He brought this general to such an end, and I want him to taste the feeling of neither life nor death."
He knew that it would be easy to be discovered by doing this, but that's what happened. They poisoned him and he was already close to death, so they relaxed their vigilance. But they didn't expect that he was still the same Ma Yuanzhi. He thought
What needs to be done is something that no one can stop.
If the little emperor wants him to die, then let's die together.
"Madam, can you please stop walking around in front of me? My eyes are dazzled." Wan Jianfeng sighed and said helplessly.
"My cousin is like this now, how can I sit still if you want me?" Sun Jiabi looked anxious. She knew that Wan Jianfeng and Ma Yuanzhi had been at odds since they broke up on bad terms last time.
But now one of them is unconscious. They were called here by Ma Yuanzhi's followers. Ma Yuanzhi has already vomited blood and is unconscious. How can they not be anxious?
Li Yi naturally also got the news. Whether he wanted to see Ma Yuanzhi's results or care about his ministers from the perspective of an emperor, he always left the palace and came to Ma Yuanzhi's residence.
"General Wan, how is General Ma?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the doctor is treating you inside. We don't know the situation yet." Wan Jianfeng answered with cupped hands.
Li Yi gave the imperial physician behind him a wink, and the imperial physician entered the inner room, "I have brought all the imperial physicians on duty in the palace today. I must ask them to cure General Ma's illness."
"Then I would like to thank the Emperor in advance on behalf of my cousin." Sun Jiabi bowed her knees and said.
Li Yi smiled and said nothing.
At the same time, in the temple on the outskirts of the city, it was still the same temple, but it was no longer as deserted as when I came last time. The weeds had been dealt with, and everything was cleaned up, whether it was the Zen room at the back or the
The front lobby has been cleared.
It is novel to see such a big change in just a few days.
But the same thing as when Taomi came last time, Shanyu was still sitting on the futon, banging the wooden fish and chanting sutras. Taomi and Gao Xianyang stood behind him and waited until he finished reciting sutras before coming forward.
"Long time no see, how are you two disciples?"
Shanyu smiled, "Do you know why I came to you?"
"But because of Ma Yuanzhi?" Gao Xianyang asked doubtfully.
Shanyu looked at Taomi and nodded, "Yes, it's precisely because of Ma Yuanzhi."
"Baoxian, can you blame me for being a teacher?"
"It's not strange." Taomi said simply. She didn't say why, she just said it wasn't strange. In fact, even if he hadn't done it, she would have done it.
Shan Yu smiled again, "Actually, you should blame me, after all, he is your uncle."
"Today should be the time when Ma Yuanzhi's poison shows up. I don't want to explain my behavior. I can only tell you that until now, I don't think I was wrong." Shanyu still looked at it.
Zhu Taomi said, "I am an incompetent monk. I will not hesitate to harm others for the sake of my family. If you want revenge, you can do it now."
After saying that, Shanyu walked to the door and looked at the clean yard outside. Although it was clean, there was not even a single pilgrim, which made it even more strange.
Gao Xianyang looked at Taomi. He used the words "deep understanding and righteousness" to talk about her before, but he didn't want things to come to this point, but he never expected that things would really come to this point. At this moment, those words in his mouth
"Understanding the righteousness deeply" seems so physical and pale. Who can truly annihilate relatives with righteousness, at least he can't do it.
Taomi didn't understand. Didn't she already say she didn't blame him? Why did she still say she wanted revenge at this time?
If a monk has all six senses clear, he will not worry about worldly things. However, Shanyu said that he is not a competent monk. Is being a monk a profession?
Why should we use the terms competent and incompetent to describe?
So how will she react now?
If she doesn't attack Shanyu, does it mean that she has no feelings for Ma Yuanzhi and doesn't care about his death? If she does it, does it also seem that she is a bit unreasonable, and she clearly knows that Ma Yuanzhi is wrong?
, and still defend him?
"Master, you just said that you are not a competent monk. Do you also not want to be a monk?"
Taomi's simple words made Gao Xianyang and Shanyu's eyes fall on her, "Baoxian, what are you talking about? Master, how could he not want to be a family member? Master is truly destined to Buddhism."
people."
Of course Taomi knows that Shanyu is a person who is truly destined to Buddhism, otherwise he would not be able to know the past and know people's fate well. However, he knows the fate of others, but he does not know his own fate. The so-called doctor cannot do it himself.
Doctor, this is probably the truth.
And the reason why he entered Buddhism, according to Shanyu himself, was because he was told by an old monk in the temple that it was because of the reincarnation of the former prince. Because the former prince was too smart, he suffered misfortune. He was only three years old and could not speak.
This is a kind of self-protection.
Shanyu still protects the auspiciousness of the entire country, but he cannot become the emperor, which will only shorten his lifespan and damage the national line of the Tang Dynasty.
But who knows whether what the old monk said is true. Anyone can say it, but if it is said normally, it is making unreasonable remarks about the royal family. But if the old monk says it, it is a glimpse of the secret.
, but is this secret so easy to spy on?
Maybe Shanyu really has a predestined relationship with Buddhism, which is why he was able to become a master. But is the reason why he became a master in the first place really because he likes Buddhism?
"My disciple is wrong, please don't worry about it, master." Taomi looked at Shanyu for a while and then said, some things have already happened, there is no use in chasing the source, it will only make the mood worse, and even more
Besides, Shanyu is not a stupid person, so why can't he figure it out?
Time, fate, happens, just accept it, there is nothing to regret or miss.
Shanyu also looked at Taomi, reaffirming his original idea that Taomi is really a smart person.
The three of them stood in the temple. As it got darker, Shanyu said, "You should go back. By now... there should be results."
There were cries in Ma Yuanzhi's mansion, and Sun Jiabi also fell into Wan Jianfeng's arms. Wan Jianfeng hugged his wife, looking at the house that was already covered with white cloth, he couldn't believe it.
Ma Yuanzhi, who had dominated the court for decades, died like this?
"Your Majesty." Gao Xianyang walked directly to Li Yi. Although he knew that the result had been determined, he still couldn't stop asking for confirmation.
Li Yi nodded to him. Although Gao Xianyang was his bodyguard, he didn't have to be with him all the time. He didn't restrict what Gao Xianyang was going to do, but looking at his current attire, he seemed to have something.
It looks somewhat familiar.
"Mom, dad, uncle, he is really..."
Before Taomi finished speaking, Wan Jianfeng shook his head at her, and Taomi understood everything.
As an overweight loyal minister, Ma Yuanzhi died of illness. Naturally, many people came to see him off. Because Ma Yuanzhi did not have a wife, and his parents died early, leaving only a cousin like Sun Jiabi. Li Yi could only say some reluctance to Sun Jiabi.
words.
Li Yi is so hypocritical at this moment. He is obviously the happiest and the most direct beneficiary of Ma Yuanzhi's death. Now he is still here hypocritically saying that Ma Yuanzhi is his humerus minister. Really?
It means as many fakes as possible.
"Your Majesty, my mother is tired and wants to rest." Seeing that Li Yi wanted to continue speaking, Taomi said directly.
Li Yi looked at Taomi with some embarrassment, but Taomi looked at Sun Jiabi who was sitting next to her without giving him a look, "Then I will go back to the palace first. I hope Mrs. Wan will take care of her body.
The dead have passed away, and the living can only live a better life."
After Li Yi left, she helped Sun Jiabi back to the room. It must be said that Sun Jiabi really cared about Ma Yuanzhi. When he died, Sun Jiabi was also very sad.
But on the other hand, it seems that is not the case. Sun Jiabi died at that time, and he knew clearly that he was framed. However, after returning, Ma Yuanzhi could not help but not avenge her, and even formed a faction with Yao Jinling to deal with Li Yi.
Apart from rights, there is nothing else in my heart.
It's better if he dies like this, otherwise who knows if he will do the same thing in the future.
After Sun Jiabi was sad for a while, she was fine. After all, she still had her own husband, her own children, and her own life.
