The red cloth fell to the ground. The old **** surnamed Han had turned pale at this time. Not to mention the right hand that had just grabbed the cloth, his whole body was swaying slightly.
Looking at Eunuch Li aside with a pale face, and then looking outside, he found that there were guards outside. His legs went weak and he knelt down immediately.
Eunuch Li looked at him and spoke with an indifferent expression.
“Eunuch Han, Your Majesty is grateful for Eunuch Han’s many years of service. He will reward Eunuch Han with a foot of white silk and a pot of poisonous wine. Eunuch Han can choose on his own. As for why he received such a reward, Eunuch Han should be clear in his heart.”
“Hoo uh…ho…”
The old **** on the ground looked at Eunuch Li, and then at the tray held by the young eunuch, with a look of horror on his face.
“No! No! I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die… Please Eunuch Li inform Your Majesty, please Eunuch Li remember the friendship we have had for many years of official business!”
The old **** hurriedly crawled on his knees, trying to hug Eunuch Li’s legs, but he easily dodged him. Looking at his nose and tears, he was really afraid of the humiliation of getting his clothes dirty. Holy Eyes.
“Eunuch Han~~You don’t know His Majesty’s temper. If you had known this, why did you do it in the first place! But it seems that my father-in-law doesn’t know how to use Bai Ling himself. Someone, come and feed Eunuch Han to drink!”
“Yes!”
Several guards with high martial arts skills immediately stepped into the room and pressed the old **** who was trying to escape hastily to the ground like an eagle catching a chicken. One of the guards gently pinched his chin, forcing the old **** to open his mouth. .
The other guard took the wine bottle, and without doing anything like pouring wine, he opened the top of the bottle and poured it into the old eunuch’s mouth.
“Woo…Woo uh…Woo…”
The old **** was so excited that he struggled violently with his hands and feet, but the greatest strength in his life was not worth mentioning in the hands of the guards. After drinking the poisoned wine, the guards directly held his mouth down to prevent him from vomiting.
Gradually, the struggle of the old eunuch’s hands and feet began to weaken, and he only twitched a few breaths later, until there was no sound anymore.
Several guards stood up.
“Rumble…”
The light from the lightning illuminated the face of the old **** on the ground. Purple foam was pouring from his mouth, his face was blue, and his eyes were bulging.
The weather has been gloomy these days, but it has not rained. Tonight was the first thunder in several days.
The sudden sound of thunder and lightning this night woke up many people who couldn’t sleep, including the eldest prince and Prince Jin.
. . .
When Eunuch Li returned to the imperial study, the old emperor was lying on the bed, covered with a thin silk quilt, and a palace maid gently massaged his forehead.
When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, the old **** subconsciously slowed down his steps and spoke softly when he was at an appropriate distance.
“Your Majesty, Han Baishan is on his way.”
The old emperor opened his eyes and glanced at the old eunuch, waved his hand, and the maid next to him immediately pushed away a few steps.
“Well, send someone to send the secret decree on the desk to Qian Junke and Yu Han, and tell them to just do their part and don’t worry too much.”
The old **** looked at the two volumes of yellow silk imperial edict on the desk in the imperial study room and swallowed subconsciously.
“Yes!”
Did not dare to guess the emperor’s thoughts. After bowing down and bowing, the old **** took the imperial edict and left.
In a courtyard room in the largest post house in Gyeonggi Prefecture, Yin Zhaoxian and Ji Yuan had already talked about the growth of the second son of the Yin family.
Compared with the unusual intelligence of Wei Wuwei’s son Wei Yuansheng, the second son of the Yin family, who is only three years old, looks much more normal. He is smart, but there is no exaggerated difference from other children of this age group, and There is only one nickname called “Hu’er”.
When the thunder sounded, the conversation between Ji Yuan and Yin Zhaoxian was also silenced. It seemed that they had just made a bet. When Ji Yuan heard the thunder, he felt something in his heart. He turned to look out the window and stretched out his hand to pinch his fingers. , he didn’t need to be too clear on the details, but he knew that the bet was beneficial to him.
Yin Zhaoxian frowned as he watched Ji Yuan’s movements. An expert like Ji Yuan must have noticed something.
“Why, Mr. Ji feels something is wrong? Is there anything wrong with the child’s nickname?”
Ji Yuan shook his head.
“No, it has nothing to do with Hu’er. It has something to do with the bet between you and me. Master Yin will understand.”
On the second day, it was supposed to be a grand meeting, but Emperor Yuande was ill, so it was canceled.
But at noon, Yang Qing in Prince Wu’s Mansion looked panicked.
“How could it be possible? How could it be possible? How could it be possible!”
Wang Wang walked back and forth in front of the hall, his face covered with fine beads of sweat, and his usual composure disappeared.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, don’t panic!”
“Yes, Your Highness, there must be no chaos!”
King Wu looked at the several ministers and staff gathered in the hall, and said in an angry voice.
“There is news in the palace that Han Baishan slipped and fell into a well last night, but I know that he died from poisoned wine. This is obviously because my father knew what happened to me and killed him. How can I not be anxious? , with my father’s temper…”
The people in the hall were all very trusted confidants of King Wu. At this moment, King Wu was in a hurry and halfway through speaking, he suddenly turned around and faced everyone.
“How about we just…”
“No! No, Your Highness!”
Almost when King Wu was halfway through what he was saying, an old minister shouted to stop, and a few of the bystanders noticed it and tried to persuade him.
“Your Highness, Mr. Zhang is right, you must not have such thoughts now!”
“Yes, Your Highness, since you think the Emperor has noticed it, it is extremely difficult to succeed even if you use this concentration at this time!”
“Oops!”
King Wu slapped his thigh hard.
“It is extremely difficult to succeed. At least there is a glimmer of hope. My father has already begun to clear out the hidden clues laid by this king. By the time I am unable to resist, everything will be too late. If I were not in the palace, There are also ears and eyes. If you are still in the dark at the moment, you will be a fool in the future, but now you still have the strength to fight…”
“Yes, if His Highness is planning to start an uprising, we should follow him!” “The same is true for the general!”
Several military officials shouted in response.
“Your Highness! Listen to my words!”
The old minister from the province suddenly spoke again, causing a moment of silence in the hall. The impatient King Wu also suppressed his anger and looked at him, but his expression was not very good.
“Your Highness King Wu, compared with Eunuch Han, are the other eyes and ears in His Highness’s palace hidden deeper?”
King Wu was stunned, frowned and did not answer immediately.
“Your Highness, I dare to say that the murder of Han Baishan may have been deliberately made known to Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty has already seen everything about Eunuch Han, then His Majesty’s other eyes and ears may not be the same!”
King Wu trembled subconsciously and his face became even more ugly.
“Don’t be anxious, Your Highness. You must not start any trouble at this time, otherwise everything will be lost. If Your Highness can stay calm, we may still have a chance!”
“What chance?” “You should speak clearly!”
A few people who had not yet figured it out could not restrain their impatient questioning, while some smart people began to think carefully, and the old minister solemnly bowed to the King of Wu.
“Your Highness, King Wu, now we have only one way to go, and that is to wait quietly without any more delusions! Your Highness, please think twice!”
“Your Highness, please think twice!” “Your Highness, please think twice!”
Some people who have wanted to understand have agreed to invite. King Wu is not stupid, but as a person involved, it is really difficult to calm down. Even if he has figured it out now, it is still difficult to calm down the strong uneasiness and anxiety in his heart. It is really too insecure. Feeling.
But even so, it is still possible to force yourself to choose a correct judgment.
“Okay! I’ll wait for you!”
In the afternoon of the same day at Prince Jin’s Mansion, Prince Jin and a few people around him also learned that Han Baishan in the palace “stumbled and fell into the well” last night.
It’s just that King Jin didn’t have the eyes and ears to know the fact that Han Baishan died of poisoned wine.
But having no eyes and ears doesn’t mean that you can’t guess. In fact, both Li Mu Shu and King Jin himself guessed that Han Baishan was definitely killed and not an accident.
In particular, an informant reported that King Wu hurriedly summoned many confidants to go to the palace. Although they all traveled in secret, they could not escape some of King Jin’s hidden clues.
“From what Mr. Li said, it seems that Han Baishan may be His Majesty the King’s eyes and ears on His Majesty’s side?”
The head of the Chu family said in surprise.
“His Royal Highness King Wu is so courageous. He dares to reach out to the emperor’s personal eunuch?”
“My eldest brother is naturally very courageous.”
The King of Jin replied in a daze upon hearing this.
There was also a young counselor in the hall who also interjected.
“That being the case, His Highness King Wu and the others must be extremely uneasy, right? They must have done something outrageous, but we just know that His Highness King Wu’s hands have reached out to the Forbidden Army Zhang Jianying and the Southern Army. If King Wu suddenly attacks and What should I do? ”
Li Mu Shu shook his head and smiled.
“Since Your Majesty has moved Han Baishan, everything is in His Majesty’s hands. Maybe King Wu also knows that he moved the Imperial Army, but I don’t know how hard His Majesty’s stick will hit. Does knocking the cloud down count, or knocking it directly to death…”
The head of the Chu family looked at Li Mu Shu and said the same thing.
“If His Highness King Wu starts an uprising, it is unlikely that he will succeed, but His Highness King Wu’s temperament may mean that he will choose to fight to the death, so we have to guard against it!”
Li Mu Shu looked at him and was about to speak, but suddenly found that King Jin had been absent-minded from just now.
“Your Highness, isn’t this good news? Why is Your Highness so worried?”
Prince Jin smiled at his teacher.
“Of course it’s good news…”
But King Jin’s smile quickly faded, and he went to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to continue.
“I’m just thinking, if it comes to this, would my father still want to make my eldest brother the heir apparent?”
“Ah!?” “This…”
“Is this possible?”
King Jin squinted his eyes and looked outside the hall. Outside was the garden where auspiciousness fell that winter.
“Haha, I just take it like this, but before we were in a desperate situation, now we have a chance…”
King Jin turned around.
“Teacher, I think the eldest brother will still choose to cause trouble. If he can’t make a decision, we will help him!”
“Your Highness, you…”
“Teacher, I know what you want to say, but I only saw this one chance, the only chance. After all, we are brothers. In terms of courage, I am no worse than my eldest brother!”
