Chapter 162 The Red Pill Case ([-])
"By the way, after Zhu Changluo ate a fairy medicine from Li Kezhuo, he praised him again and again. Then Zhu Changluo poked his head out, looked at Li Kezhuo, and called him."

"At this time Li Kezhuo looked up quickly, only to hear Zhu Changluo continue to say, you continue to bring the elixir tomorrow, I guess if you take another one, your physical illness will be cured."

"At this time, Li Kezhuo said that I still have a fairy medicine in my home, but the fairy who gave me the medicine once said that after taking it once, it will take three days before I can take the second medicine. So I'll bring it to Your Majesty in three days."

"Hearing this, Zhu Changluo nodded, saying that it is very good, and when I recover from my illness, I will definitely give you an official title."

"Since taking the fairy medicine offered by Li Kezhuo, Zhu Changluo's illness has really eased a lot. Although I don't know if it's because of the fairy medicine, Zhu Changluo really feels better."

"In the past two days, apart from sitting in front of the Dragon Table to rest his mind from time to time, Zhu Changluo even went out of the palace twice. This is enough to show that after taking the fairy medicine, Zhu Changluo's spirit has indeed improved a lot."

"Two days ago, under Zhu Changluo's order, Fang Congzhe had no choice but to take Li Kezhuo to see Zhu Changluo."

"Although Zhu Changluo took the so-called fairy medicine at that time, it had an effect, but based on his years of experience, he always felt that it was only caused by Zhu Changluo's psychological effect, not necessarily the effect of the fairy medicine."

"So after Fang Congzhe returned home, several staff members came to inquire about the situation in the palace, and Fang Congzhe told them one by one."

"After hearing this, the staff advised Fang Congzhe not to bring that Li Kezhuo into the palace again, especially the several imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital denied that it was a fairy medicine."

"And the aides also said that if Fang Congzhe brought Li Kezhuo into the palace to meet Zhu Changluo again, then they would resign collectively and quit."

"On the third day, Zhu Changluo sent someone to urge Fang Congzhe to bring Li Kezhuo into the palace to offer medicine."

"Moreover, Zhu Changluo didn't know where he got the news, and he issued an imperial decree, saying that if the cabinet prevents Li Kezhuo from offering immortal medicine, he will be punished for the crime of resisting the decree and deceiving the emperor."

"That's what Zhu Changluo said, and Fang Congzhe has no choice. Not only to ensure his own safety, but also for the safety of other cabinet ministers, he can only do what Zhu Changluo wants."

"So Fang Congzhe called Li Kezhuo into the cabinet, and repeatedly asked Li Kezhuo whether the immortal medicine could really cure Zhu Changluo's illness."

"And Li Kezhuo is also trying to ensure that his elixir is really effective, so Fang Congzhe then dragged Han Huoguang to take Li Kezhuo into the palace together."

"After seeing Zhu Changluo, Li Kezhuo hurriedly presented the elixir, but this time the elixir that Li Kezhuo presented was a red elixir."

"It is said that after Zhu Changluo took the elixir, Li Kezhuo asked Zhu Changluo to lie on the bed and rest, but Zhu Changluo refused, and said that I am in good spirits today, and that Li Aiqing has contributed to the offering of the elixir, and I will reward you for your merit in the future."

"However, hehe... Zhu Changluo died that night after taking the immortal medicine, it was the red medicine pill."

"Fang Congzhe actually expected that after Zhu Changluo's death, there would definitely be countless impeachment notes flying in the next day, and he might be charged with regicide."

"According to the court's old rule, once the emperor dies, the will will be drafted by the chief minister of the cabinet."

"Fang thought about it from a philosophical point of view, and felt that he had to use the opportunity of being able to write the will on behalf of himself, and stated that it was Zhu Changluo's own opinion to take the so-called fairy medicine, and put the responsibility on Zhu Changluo."

"On the second day, as expected by Fang Congzhe, Zhu Changluo's sudden death aroused the attention of the entire court. There were hundreds of memorials to trace the cause of Zhu Changluo's death within two days."

"Hey, at this time, someone discovered that some memorials handed over clearly stated that Cui Wensheng, the eunuch who gave Zhu Changluo the laxative, was originally the eunuch in Concubine Zheng's palace."

"Later, Concubine Zheng recommended Cui Wensheng to Zhu Changluo, and Cui Wensheng used laxatives to torture Zhu Changluo, so I think there must be someone behind Cui Wensheng."

"These words have been said so nakedly, the finger is directed at Concubine Zheng Gui."

"So Fang Congzhe couldn't wait to solicit the opinions of the cabinet ministers, and quickly promulgated the will written by him himself."

"The posthumous edict described in detail the conversation between Zhu Changluo and Li Kezhuo, saying that Zhu Changluo not only praised Li Kezhuo's elixir for its effectiveness, but also rewarded Li Kezhuo with silver coins."

"With the edict, all the courtiers immediately erupted. They all knew that the edict was written by Fang Congzhe, and invisibly linked Fang Congzhe and the Hongwan case closely."

"By mid-October, calls to investigate the cause of Zhu Changluo's death reached their climax, which set the tone for the investigation of the murderer of the Hongwan case."

"Faced with such a climax, Fang Congzhe thought about it, so he wrote a very long memorial."

"On the one hand, he defended himself, and on the other hand, he said that he was old and wanted to retire, and then submitted it to Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao."

"In less than ten days, Emperor Tianqi's approval order came down. At the beginning of November, this veteran minister who had been in power in the cabinet for eight years left the capital."

"Zhu Changluo's sudden death made Yu Shi Zheng Zongzhou, Nanjing Taichang Temple Shaoqing Cao Zhen and others feel that the Hongwan case may be related to the stiletto attack a few years ago, and maybe the mastermind behind these two cases so that they are all the same person.”

"Wang Zhicai, the head of the criminal department, directly pointed out that Zhu Changluo's death is definitely related to the conspiracy of Concubine Zheng and Zhu Changluo's favorite concubine Li to seize power."

"After Zhu Changluo's sudden death, coupled with the intensified party disputes in the imperial court, the discussion about the cause of Zhu Changluo's death has become rampant, and it more or less seems like the Donglin party members took the opportunity to attack the aliens."

"Furthermore, these discussions revolve around the cause of Zhu Changluo's death. Suddenly, Fang Congzhe, Li Kezhuo, and Cui Wensheng all became the target of public criticism."

"It is said that Zhang Wenda, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Yingjiao, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Sun Shenxing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zou Yuanbiao, the Yushi of Zuodu, and other officials all went up to impeach Cui Wensheng and Li Kezhuo for the crime of wrongly offering medicine."

"Among them, Censor Wang Anshun believes that Zhu Changluo's pulse was unstable during his lifetime, which was caused by being too impatient, and his face was purple, hot, impatient to eat porridge, etc., which eventually led to his death."

"Because Zhu Changluo died after taking the elixir presented by Li Kezhuo, and Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet at that time, drafted the edict to reward Li Kezhuo on the day Zhu Changluo died, this has to be doubted Think of Fang Congzhe who has left the capital."
