The Eight Winds of Rebirth

Emperor Zongzheng was naturally furious about the incident of poisoned wine during the prince's coronation ceremony, so he went up to all the people who were crowned in the palace that day, down to the servants who cleaned Chengfeng Palace, and the attendants brought by the guests all had to interrogate them one by one. , Vow to find out the real culprit.

And the little guard who identified the poisoned wine in the hall was called to the emperor for questioning.

Emperor Zongzheng said, "What's your name?"

The little guard knelt down and looked straight at the emperor's face and replied: "Young man Yizheng."

"You are Yizheng?"

It was not the emperor who asked the question, but the third king Zhao Dian who was on the lower left.

Emperor Zongzheng changed his expression slightly when he heard the name, but he still asked Zhao Dian with a puzzled face, "Have you ever heard of him?"

Zhao Dian nodded and looked at Hou Bingchen, "I have admired the name of 'Ghost Doctor' in the Shenwu military camp for a long time, and I have always hoped to see it. I never thought that Xiao Wang would fulfill his wish today. The general hid him really well."

Hou Bingchen just laughed, without denying it, and said modestly, "Where is it."

Emperor Zongzheng suddenly realized: "So you are the ingenious doctor who saved countless Daye soldiers? So it is not surprising that you recognized the poisoned wine."

Yizheng snorted and laughed: "This poisoner is really a fool. The herbal medicine smells so strong that you can smell it a foot away. Is there really a fool who can drink it?"

Zhao Ze, with the word "fool" on his head, said dissatisfied: "You have a dog's nose, and you still think everyone is a dog."

Yizheng gave him a disdainful look, "What's wrong with the dog's nose? The dog's nose can save your life and save yours. If you despise it, then you will return your life? I'll follow."

In front of civil and military officials, talking so stubbornly with the emperor's son, even the emperor and the three kings, who knew the amazing medical skills of this genius doctor, couldn't hold back. Hou Bingchen had to cough twice, signaling Yizheng to restrain himself a little.

Seeing Zhao Ze's face flushed with anger, Yizheng pursed his mouth and stopped talking.

Emperor Zongzheng called out: "Zhang Fan."

Zhang Fan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, immediately knelt down.

Zhao You said: "I will give you half a month. If you can't find out what happened today, you can take care of it yourself."

Startled, Zhang Fan quickly kowtowed to receive the order, repeatedly promising that the truth would be found out.

"I also know that it will be difficult for you," Zhao You thought for a while, and then shouted, "Xue Yiyang, you will take the Metropolitan Procuratorate to monitor this matter. If you encounter any inconvenience, you must eliminate it and do everything at all."

As soon as these words came out, all the fools understood that Emperor Zongzheng was using excuses to break the balance of the Ministry of Punishment. Once Xue Yiyang entered, it would be difficult to let him out, and Hou Bingchen was behind him. The emperor couldn't do it himself, so he planned to get General Shenwu to back him up. Even if General Shenwu didn't want to, there was no way to shirk for the time being. Dereliction of duty, not a big job, the emperor's calculations are very precise.

For a moment, many people in the hall looked at Hou Bingchen and the third king Zhao Dian.

The two of them were quite calm, and they seemed to be somewhat prepared for this, but the third son Zhao showed a smile on his face, and looked around the hall, looking a little sinister.

Xue Yiyang received the decree, and Emperor Zongzheng said to Yizheng again: "The genius doctor has made great contributions in saving the two princes, and he deserves a big reward. I will give you a court sentence. What do you think?"

The emperor's mind was very clear, if Yizheng wanted to be safe, he would accept this, and he could stay in the palace in the future without running around.

However, how could Yizheng be willing with his temper, he just said strangely: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin is a military doctor in the Shenwu Army Camp, and he should be with the army to fight in all directions. Why should I keep such a spare job? Will I bring it with me?" If you don’t take it with you, others won’t think it’s so majestic if you report your name on the battlefield, and they might even laugh at me.”

This made Emperor Zongzheng's face turn green, and he endured it so much that he didn't have an attack in court. He went to see Hou Bingchen again, but saw that he only patted Yizheng on the back, with a smile on his lips, and said nothing.

Emperor Zongzheng couldn't, since the things that should be done have been done, don't worry about these trivial matters.

After waving Yizheng to retreat, and appeasing the prince and courtiers, the crowning ceremony ended in some weird atmosphere.

Before leaving Chengfeng Palace, Gu Xiangtan caught Zhao Yuan's gaze from afar, and that gaze was rarely filled with hesitation and faint displeasure.

Gu Xiangtan lowered his eyes intuitively at the moment, raised his eyebrows at Zhao Yuan the next moment, and then got into the sedan chair without saying anything.

As soon as he returned to Sumeru Hall, Su Xi closed the door and couldn't help talking about it with An Yin, and asked mysteriously: "Tell me, who injected this poison? Will it kill the sixth or seventh son? Why? ?”

An Yin said in a low voice: "It must be to harm the prince. If something happens in Chengfeng Palace, the prince's face will be ugly."

"That must be the Three Kings. No one else in the palace wants to do this except him."

"If you think like this, others will too. How could the Three Kings be so stupid."

"Could it be the prince or the emperor... himself?" Just to blame others?

Gu Xiangtan heard them talking more and more, and he couldn't help coughing and interrupted: "I don't want to sleep anymore, let's see how many hours are up."

Su Xi hurriedly stepped forward to make the bed for him, and after a while his mouth was still itchy: "My lord, who are you talking about?"

Gu Xiangtan took off his outer robe and untied his hair tie, and then slowly said: "The crown prince's meals have been taken care of by someone specially since he was a child, just like the wine he drank at the coronation ceremony was different from other people's. The method of poisoning generally cannot harm him, and the same is true for the third king and the third prince."

An Yin nodded: "Then it will really kill the sixth and seventh princes."

"The seventh son has lived in the palace for so many years, so he would have been killed if he was killed. Why choose such a date, and the sixth son..." Speaking of Zhao Yuan, Gu Xiangtan paused, with a slight smile on his lips : "It's not that easy..."

"In that case, the person who poisoned him either didn't know the rules of Chengfeng Palace, but if he didn't know, how could he be poisoned so easily, and it was at such a tightly guarded crown ceremony, or Even if he knows the rules of Chengfeng Palace too well, he intentionally poisoned it just to attract the attention of others, and he also knows that the poison will not succeed!" Su Xi suddenly opened his mind, "But why do you want to attract the attention of others? , the three kings and the emperor are all likely to do this..."

Gu Xiangtan heard that Su Xi was going to talk at length, so he couldn't help yawning, waved to him and said, "Go away, just tell me these things, if you talk too much when you get out of here, I'll send you back Deer Li."

Su Xi was dragged out by An Yin with a face of unwillingness.

Gu Xiangtan was lying on the bed, looking at the faint candlelight in the room, thinking of something, a trace of deepness appeared on his face.

Then he listened intently to the movement outside the window for a while, and after a while, he got up and opened the door directly.

I saw Yan Fangzheng walking quickly outside the house. He was covered in night dew, and his hair was damp, as if he had traveled back and forth for a long time, and he came to work in front of Gu Xiangtan's door by chance.

Yan Fang didn't expect that Gu Xiangtan was still awake, let alone that he would lean against the door and wait for him, and his expression was a little dazed for a moment.

Gu Xiangtan looked at him for a while, then asked, "Where did you go?"

Yan Fang opened his mouth, not only how to answer.

Gu Xiangtan shook his head: "Okay, if I blame you, if you tell him secretly, I won't let you do these things."

Yan Fang hesitated for a while, and said lightly: "The young master was only afraid that something would happen to you, so he asked me to ask questions."

Of course Gu Xiangtan knew that his previous life was enough proof. If Zhao Yuan wanted to hide it from him, he could not know at all from the beginning to the end, just like his heart, but if Gu Xiangtan wanted to hide it from Zhao Yuan, he always had Various methods can see him clearly, just like... this matter today.

Gu Xiangtan thought for a while and asked, "Then what did he say?"

Yan Fang said: "The young master told you..."

"Let me eat fast and chant Buddha's name in peace?"

Yan Fang remained silent, in fact Zhao Yuan also knew that Yan Fang couldn't persuade Gu Xiangtan, and only asked him to pay more attention, and everything was about his safety, as if he had to tell him again and again every time he saw each other during this period of time, Take the trouble and be cautious.

Gu Xiangtan curled his lips lightly, he had already guessed the answer, so he was not angry, and murmured softly as if talking to himself.

"If one day, he can get what he wants, I will do what I should do."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door without looking at Yanfang.

……

That night, Mu Wangfu.

Zhao Dian walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, and Zhao Jie stood in front of him, shaking the fan in his hand again and again, and couldn't help but said for a while: "Father, Zhao Yuan must have injected this poison, Zhao Mian didn't This brain, and the emperor has always been indecisive and only picks up ready-made advantages, and this proactive attitude is not like him, there is no one else except Zhao Yuan."

"No matter who made it, most people outside must think we did it!" Zhao Dian snorted, and finally stopped.

Hou Bingchen's entry into the capital was indeed a great disaster for Zhao Dian. He really wanted to get rid of him, but Zhao Dian also knew that it was not time yet.Hou Bingchen has a strong personality, even if he is dissatisfied with Zhao You's political achievements in his heart, as long as Zhao You is on the throne for a day and is personally pointed out by the previous generation of spiritual Buddha, Hou Bingchen will not have the heart to replace him or support others. Dian's reliance is also Zhao Dian's worry.

The two sons relying on the great prince Zhao Mi will not support Zhao Yuan as king because he is better for the time being, but they are also worried that Zhao You will kill him early because of this backer.

Zhao Dian couldn't help showing a sneer as he thought about it.

Zhao You is still far from fighting him with his own ability, and there is that elm-headed son behind him to hold him back.

It's just that there is one more thing that needs to be guarded against right now, which makes Zhao Dian very preoccupied.

"If this poison was really poisoned by Zhao Yuan, then this kid's thoughts are too extraordinary."

"My child is stupid, is Zhao Yuan just doing this to get Xue Yiyang to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Zhao Dian shook his head, a fierce light flashed in his eyes for a moment: "Not only the Ministry of Punishment, but also others... You see, this matter will not be easily settled, and this move is very clever."
