weak to him

Yu Zhiji took the food box and came to Dali Temple under the escort of the guards. Unlike King Wu's imprisonment, after King Yan was imprisoned, someone outside has been trying to rescue him.

King Yan's life in prison wasn't too bad, and he was much better than Yu Zhiji.So after Yu Zhiji went in, he saw King Yan sitting on the clean quilt and sighing, he had an urge to draw his sword and kill him.

When King Yan heard the footsteps of someone coming, he thought it was some party member who came to see him, but he turned around excitedly and saw Yu Zhiji's expressionless face.

"What are you doing here?" King Yan sneered and said, "Are you here to see my jokes? Don't forget, if you can get out of the prison, I can get out too."

Yu Zhiji wanted to laugh at him for being overconfident, but he remembered Wei Han's words. He suppressed his anger and said, "Why does Second Brother talk like that? I just came here today to talk to Second Brother."

King Yan frowned, looked Yu Zhiji up and down, and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Yu Zhiji was unhappy, but he still said, "I just feel a little bit emotional about the years of fighting between the two of us."

Yu Zhiji went in and opened the food box, took out the food and wine inside and arranged them.He poured a glass of wine for both himself and King Yan, and said, "Second brother, aren't you tired after fighting for so many years?"

"Tired, why aren't you tired?" Yan Wang said: "You can quit if you feel tired. As a brother, I can assure you that you will have endless glory and wealth in this life."

Yu Zhiji said: "If you quit, I can also guarantee your glory and wealth."

"Heh, neither of us should think about who quits." King Yan said with a disdainful smile: "Let's each rely on their own abilities. When the time comes, the winner will be the king and the loser. Even if they lose, they will just die."

"You speak lightly." Yu Zhiji said, "Come on, let's have a drink." After speaking, he put the wine glass to his lips.

He caught a glimpse of King Yan not drinking at all, he said: "Why not?"

"Now I'm a prisoner." Yan Wang lazily leaned on the quilt and said, "Don't dare to drink indiscriminately."

"Are you afraid that I will poison you? Hmph, I'm not going to do such a thing." Yu Zhiji picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He raised his chin at King Yan and said, "You are as cowardly as a mouse. Can I drink now?"

King Yan looked at the wine glass, then reached for it.Yu Zhiji said: "If I can come out from Zongzheng Temple, I will never give you a chance to come out. Yu Zhijing, don't you just want to join forces with the ministers of the DPRK and China to intercede for you? There is no chance, I will not let you come out of."

"Hmph, you thought you..." King Yan suddenly saw something and screamed, "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Zhiji asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with me?"

"Blood..." King Yan pointed to his face and said, "There is blood..."

Yu Zhiji's heart suddenly panicked, he stretched out his hand to wipe his face, his hand was covered with bright red blood.

"what……"

He took a step back in fear, and picked up the dishes on the table.His head suddenly became dizzy, and he sat down on the ground, feeling unable to figure it out.

King Yan looked at the jug in fear and said, "It's poisonous! It's poisonous..."

poisonous?How can it be poisonous?The food and wine were prepared by the imperial chef bestowed by the father, and no one except Han'er touched it from the beginning to the end.

Haner...

No, it's not possible...

Yu Zhiji's nasal cavity was bleeding, and he stared forward with bloodshot eyes.I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out, what reason does Han'er have to harm herself?

"Come on, there are assassins!" King Yan jumped up and down and shouted, "Come on, come on!"

Yu Zhiji fell to the ground, unable to understand why Wei Han wanted to harm him until his death.He obviously likes Han'er so much, he thought he finally found someone qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him...

Emperor Yuanfeng's health has been deteriorating recently, and Yu Zhijing stayed with him in the imperial study.Emperor Yuanfeng said: "These days you come to Father Emperor's place, but you come frequently."

"Mother and concubine has a headache, and my son-in-law comes to the palace to visit every day." Yu Zhijing said: "The last time the father said that the son-in-law was only filial to the mother and concubine, the son-in-law just wanted to prove that the son-in-law was filial to the father His filial piety is no less than that of his mother and concubine."

"Hahahaha..." Emperor Yuanfeng laughed heartily, "The sixth child has really grown up."

He looked Yu Zhijing up and down and said, "If you were the king, how would you govern this country?"

This question was too big, Yu Zhijing was taken aback, and then he remembered what Wei Han had said to him.He calmed down and said: "I don't understand it very well, but I feel that it is not enough for the emperor to govern the country alone. To govern the country depends on officials, um... I think that to be a king, you only need to let the ministers do their part. The king only needs to manage the ministers."

"Well, although it's rough, it's also true." Emperor Yuanfeng nodded and said: "Then how to manage the ministers?"

"Well... First of all, the imperial examination must be absolutely fair." Yu Zhijing said: "Then..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Fuhai rushed in, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good!"

Emperor Yuanfeng's right eyelid suddenly twitched violently, a very ominous premonition appeared, his heart was pounding, and he said, "What's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness Wu is dead." Li Fuhai knelt on the ground in panic and said: "His Royal Highness Wu was poisoned to death."

"Uh……"

Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and then his vision was pitch black, and he vaguely heard someone calling for an imperial doctor...

Zhao Yi went to the small courtyard where the dead man of King Wu's mansion was located alone, because Wei Han took Zhao Yi there last time, and because of Wei Han's calculation, King Wu successfully came out of Zongzheng Temple.So this group of dead men were not prepared against Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi said after entering, "My lord has a new task for you to do."

The leader of the dead soldiers asked, "What do you want us to do?"

Zhao said with expressionless eyes and piercing cold eyes: "Follow me."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. The soldiers looked at each other and followed Zhao Yi out.Zhao Yi led them all the way to the wilderness, and after walking for a long time, they finally came across an abandoned dilapidated hut.

Zhao Yi pointed to the hut in front of him and said, "The things that the lord told me are inside."

The dead soldiers walked over, and after confirming that there was no danger in the house, they opened the door and entered.

"Cough cough..."

No one lived in the house all year round, and everyone was choked by the dust when the door was opened.The dead man turned the house upside down, but found nothing.The leader shouted to Zhao Yi who was outside the door: "There is nothing here, what does the prince want us to do?"

"Be patient." Zhao Yi crossed his arms in front of his chest, holding the knife and said, "The matter that the prince wants you to award is inside, you should look for it."

The leader glanced at Zhao Yi angrily, and then continued to rummage around with the other dead men.The room was filled with dust, and the leader always felt that something was wrong.

"Uh……"

"Pfft!"

Suddenly a dead man fell down, everyone was startled, the leader squatted down to check for a while and said: "Dead."

"Huh? How did you die?"

"Uh... plop"

Another dead man fell, and the leader roared, "Who is it? Come out!"

After he finished shouting, he felt as if the blood in his brain was about to burst out of his veins, "Ah...how could it be?"

How could he be poisoned?All the dead men around began to show symptoms of poisoning, and the leader suddenly looked at Zhao Yi who was standing motionless outside the house.

"It's you?"

"It's me." Zhao Yi said calmly, "It's a pity you found out too late."

The leader spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. He said, "I don't understand..."

"You don't understand why you are poisoned?"

The leader couldn't speak anymore, but his eyes told Zhao Yi that he didn't understand.Zhao Dao said: "You only know that poison can be put in drinks and food, in hidden weapons, and poisonous smoke can be used to kill people. So I just sprinkled poison on the ground, on the door, and everywhere you can see. Can you not detect it if it is mixed with dust?"

"Uh uh..." The leader stared at Zhao Yi with wide eyes. He never expected that he would assassinate other people for King Wu, and he was assassinated today...

Zhao Yi stood alone for a long time, then went in and mended everyone with a knife to make sure no one died in fake death.He lit a rag and threw it in.The beams and furniture in the dilapidated house have been in disrepair for a long time, and they are severely eroded by insects and ants, and they can easily catch fire.

He walked away silently with the knife in his arms, with raging fire behind him.It's almost winter, he thought that he would not suffer from the cold again this winter when he was in the Wei Mansion.

This night was destined to be restless, Yu Zhijing sent someone back from the palace to report that Emperor Yuanfeng was critically ill.

Wei Han waved the messenger to leave, and calmly said to the housekeeper, "Where's my brother? Are you back?"

"No." The guard said, "The general is still in the barracks."

Wei Han said: "Call him back immediately, hurry up!"

Butler Wei shrank back, he had never seen such a Second Young Master before.So calm and composed, people forget that he is still a 17-year-old boy.

"Yes, I'll find someone to go to the barracks right now."

The steward Wei turned around and looked for someone. He suddenly forgot Wei Han's appearance when he first entered the Wei mansion.That male favorite with a face full of makeup and a hippie smile can't overlap with today's serious Wei Han at all.

The general said that the Wei family might be brilliant again because of him, maybe it could be...

Wei Liao was training in the barracks, when suddenly a servant from the Wei Mansion came and said that the second young master wanted him to go back immediately.

Zhou Jun said: "Is there something wrong with the general's residence?"

Wei Liao knew about Wei Han, he usually solved things by himself, and when he knew about it, everything would be over. Today, someone specially sent someone to the barracks to ask him to go back, something must have happened.Wei Han said to Zhou Jun: "I'm going back first, you watch them practice."

"Yes."

Wei Liao rode his horse and galloped all the way back to the Wei Mansion, and said as soon as he dismounted, "Where is the second young master?"

"Second young master is waiting for you in the study." The butler Wei led the horse and said.

Wei Liao strode into the study without taking off his armor, "Brother, what happened?"

"The emperor is critically ill."

"What?" Wei Liao asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"

"Just now." Wei Han said: "The news that Yu Zhiji was poisoned to death in prison spread to the palace, and the emperor became critically ill."

"This……"

Wei Liao wanted to ask whether you did this, Wei Han said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, the emperor is critically ill and probably has not passed down the imperial decree to establish a heir. King Yan has not yet been convicted and he has many followers in the court. Want you to distribute some men and horses to Yueqi school captain Bailiji."

Wei Liao: "Why do you want to distribute the troops to him?"

"Because he wants to fence off the Dali Temple to ensure that even a mosquito can't get in or out."

Wei Liao said: "I can do this, why do you need him?"

"Because you have more important things to do." Wei Han said: "There is no one in Yu Zhijing's court. I am afraid that something will happen in the palace. I need you to bring the Zhenbei Army to prepare."

"what to prepare?"

"Ready to rush into the palace at any time to the Qing emperor's side."

"..."

Rao even Wei Liao, who had been nervous since he was a child, was also frightened by Wei Han's words.Wei Han said: "I'll go to the palace right away, if you see three bunches of fireworks going off in the palace, then lead someone to kill them."

After Wei Han finished speaking, he changed into his official uniform and went to the palace. Zhao Yi stopped Wei Han and said, "I'll go with you."

Wei Han frowned and said, "You can't bring weapons into the palace."

"Hmph." Zhao Yi raised his head proudly and said, "If I don't have weapons, I can't kill people, so I won't be called Zhao Yi."

"Okay." Wei Han said, "Follow me."

The two of them came all the way to the gate of the palace, and the guard at the palace gate said: "The forbidden area of ​​the palace gate, idlers are not allowed to enter."

A eunuch saw the two of them and said: "They are the people the imperial concubine wants to see, this is the token of the imperial concubine."

When the guard saw the token, he made way for a passage, "Please!"

Wei Han went all the way to the harem, and the eunuch said as he walked: "The imperial doctors have all gone to the Huangji Hall, the emperor is dying, the imperial concubine and His Royal Highness the King of Yue are guarding the emperor."

Wei Han said: "Where is the Empress?"

"The empress is also in the Huangji Hall."

Wei Han said: "I'll be waiting in the imperial concubine's palace, you hand this piece of paper to the imperial concubine's hands." As he spoke, he took out a small folded note from his sleeve and gave it to the eunuch.

Even if the civil and military officials couldn't know what happened in the palace immediately, they should know by this time.Lin Juefeng wrinkled his old face and said, "Masters, have you heard the news that the emperor is critically ill?"

"If I didn't already know, how could I come to you, Boss?"

Lin Juefeng said: "Your Majesty is critically ill and cannot live without the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness King Yan has both political integrity and ability, and has held important positions to help the Emperor solve problems many times. He is indeed the best candidate for the Crown Prince. Please come with me to Dali Temple to welcome the King of Yan. , to send King Yan into the Huangji Hall."
