Zhi Xuan

After waking up in the middle of the night, Zhi Xuan didn't feel sleepy anymore.

Leaving the bed, Zhi Xuan draped over his clothes and sat in front of the desk, half of his face was illuminated by the bronze lamp, and half of his face was hidden in the darkness.Staring at the fire with both eyes, there seemed to be a stormy sea in the bottom of the eyes.

The waiter moved more lamps, and his movements were as light as possible, not daring to make too much noise for fear of disturbing him.

Zhi Xuan sat alone for a long time, until the sky brightened and the darkness was replaced by light, then he stood up and ordered his servants to change their clothes and prepare for the morning court.

"Your Majesty, do you want breakfast?" the waiter asked cautiously.

Zhi Xuan paused, raised his hand to comb his front hair, and was rarely irritable and impatient.Taking a deep breath, trying to suppress the unfamiliar emotions, he nodded to the waiter, signaling for the meal to be served.

The waiter quickly went to make arrangements as if he had received an amnesty.

Zhixuan never treated the people around him harshly, but his majesty became stronger and stronger, and the admiration and fear of the servants spontaneously arose, which was several times higher than that of the previous emperor.

Following Dr. Sang's order, Zhi Xuan had a very rich meal.

There are several staple dishes for breakfast, and there are as many as three kinds of porridge.The steamed stuffed buns and barley cakes with various fillings taste quite good and stimulate your appetite.The clans have tasted pies and steamed buns, and they never forget them. They ordered chefs to make them one after another, and developed a variety of tricks.Nowadays, buns and pies have become the most popular delicacies in the western capital.

The tripod was full of broth, and it was still steaming when it was lifted.The meat is stewed until it is crispy, and it will fall off the bone with a light shake, completely melting in the mouth.

There are seven or eight kinds of sauces, all of which are cooked sauces.Two of the dishes have a spicy taste, and they are very appetizing when paired with millet porridge.

In addition, kitchen leeks and bean sprouts are quickly stir-fried, which has a refreshing taste and adds a new flavor to the meal.

Zhi Xuan was in a restless mood, and he didn't feel like enjoying the food at the moment.In order not to delay taking the medicine, he forced himself to take a few mouthfuls, then put down his chopsticks and ordered the food utensils to be removed.

The waiters took away the food boxes and looked at the dishes that were almost intact, their worries were palpable.

Physician Sang appeared on time, brought decoction and medicine and diagnosed Zhixuan's pulse.Seeing Zhi Xuan's appearance, he couldn't help but frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, worrying too much is not good for the disease."

Zhi Xuan sighed, the irritability in his heart could not be resolved.This feeling troubled him, making him like a beast in a cage.

He knew that Dr. Sang had good intentions and was completely concerned about his health.But he couldn't help but want to lose his temper, and wanted to vent out his uncontrollable emotions through anger.

It's a bad feeling.

Zhi Xuan clenched his fingers tightly, pressing his fingertips against his palm, leaving crescent-shaped red marks.

He kept telling himself not to lose control, absolutely not.

As a monarch, with an army in his hands, he returned to the court with a great victory not long ago, and there are too many eyes on him.Once something goes wrong, the consequences will be devastating, and it is very likely that previous efforts will fall short.

Seeing that something was wrong with Zhi Xuan, Doctor Sang frowned, covered the medicine bowl with one hand, and refused to let Zhi Xuan take it, and at the same time ordered someone to invite the witch doctor.

Zhi Xuan raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Doctor Sang still covered the medicine bowl, shook his head at Zhi Xuan, and said, "Your Majesty, I can't take this medicine for now."

The prescription was prescribed by Dr. Sang himself, and the decoction was cooked by him himself, but now Zhi Xuan is not allowed to take it, it is unavoidably strange.

"What's wrong?" Zhi Xuan asked.

"I don't know for now." Dr. Sang said truthfully.

Zhi Xuan stared at him, really couldn't see why, so he could only retract his arms and put down his sleeves.There is still some time before the morning court, he can wait.

The witch doctor arrived quickly, listened to Doctor Sang's explanation of the situation, and immediately diagnosed Zhixuan's pulse.

After a while, the witch doctor asked Doctor Sang to take the prescription and asked about Zhixuan's diet in detail, with a serious expression on his face.

The waiter in charge of passing meals remembers every dish and can clearly tell who made each dish.When a witch doctor asks a question, give an answer immediately.

"Mushroom sauce?" The witch doctor interrupted him and said, "Every meal?"

"Yes." The waiter nodded.

Mushroom sauce is not uncommon, and Zhixuan liked it very much when he was in Zhidi.The taste is rich and delicious, and when paired with millet rice and wheat cakes, Zhi Xuan can often eat a plate.The chef who made the sauce had served him for many years. If he had mischievous intentions, something would have happened to him long ago, and he would not have waited until today.

But the witch doctor didn't mention anything else, but mentioned the mushroom sauce, and even went to check the sauce jar himself, and asked people to take care of the cook and the helper. It was obvious that the problem was there.

"Is it sauce?" Zhi Xuan frowned.

"Indeed." The witch doctor had tasted the mushroom sauce himself, and explained, "the sauce is poisonous, the amount is very small, and it is difficult for the waiter to detect the poison. It will not hurt in the short term, but long-term consumption will make people crazy. The decoction taken by your majesty There is a medicinal material in it that collides with it, and suddenly induces toxicity, which is the source of Junshang's discomfort."

Zhi Xuan was silent.

The reason given by the witch doctor was flawless, but he somehow felt that there was another reason for his restlessness, at least not all due to poison.

"Your Majesty, this servant is guilty!"

Knowing that Zhixuan was poisoned, the waiter in charge of the meal was terrified.

Someone actually murdered the emperor under their noses, and they still used such a despicable method!

Thinking of what the witch doctor said, the servants all gritted their teeth, hating the poisoner to the marrow.They don't care whether they will be punished, they just want to tear the poisoner to pieces.

After finding out the source of the poison and confirming that it was not a problem with the decoction, Doctor Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhi Xuan was poisoned, fortunately, the poison was not deep enough to cause serious problems.It's just that the properties of the medicines conflict, and the toxicity has not been completely eliminated, so the previous prescriptions can no longer be used.

After the consultation between the witch doctor and Sang doctor, the prescription was re-prescribed, and it was brewed by Sang doctor himself without the hands of others.

"Your Majesty, it's best not to eat the sauce until you find out the situation." The witch doctor suggested.

Mushroom sauce is the source, but the poisoner is hiding in the kitchen, so there is no guarantee that other sauces will be fine.For the sake of caution, all the sauce jars were sealed up, and the chef and assistant chef who made the sauce were detained separately for questioning.

The rest of the people should not be indulged lightly, they must be carefully checked.Only after confirming that there is no problem can they continue to stay in the Monarch's Mansion.

It's definitely not that the witch doctor made a big fuss, but that Zhixuan, as the Marquis of Xiyuan, holds great power.His health is of great importance to the stability of Xiyuan country, and it is even more related to the balance among the countries.

Just after conquering half of the Eastern Liang Kingdom, the national strength of the Western Yuan Kingdom has flourished.At this critical moment, if something happens to Zhi Xuan, there will be chaos in the country, and the outside world will also be unstable.

After all, Zhixuan and Zhao Hao got married, and neither of them had any children, nor did they designate an heir.If someone seizes the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole, things will be quite bad.

Instead of remedying it afterwards, it is better to use thunderous means to cut it off from the source.For this reason, the witch doctor asked himself to torture everyone, and was willing to bear the name of a cruel official to eliminate hidden dangers for Zhixuan.

"Your Majesty, please agree!" The witch doctor bent down on the ground and said seriously.

Looking at the gray-haired old man, Zhi Xuan felt his throat tighten.He deliberately refused and told the other party that there was no need to do so, but the witch doctor had made up his mind, and Doctor Sang also joined in, begging Zhixuan Enzhun together.

"I will order someone to conduct a thorough investigation of the monarch's mansion, as well as the mansions of the sons and daughters." Zhi Xuan's voice was hoarse, and he made the final decision.Whether it was targeting him or the entire Xiyuan Kingdom, as long as there were traces left, it would be clear immediately.

"Your Majesty!" The witch doctor and Sang doctor were taken aback.

Their original intention was to take the matter onto themselves, and bear all the resentment and infamy.Zhixuan's decree is undoubtedly to divert the contradiction, and it may be difficult to get rid of the reputation of cruelty.

"I've made up my mind." Zhi Xuan stopped the two of them, not intending to listen to his persuasion, let alone change his mind.

The conspiracy was aimed at him, so naturally he should find out by himself, catch the mastermind and accomplices, and punish them severely.No matter who the master envoy is, he will not let it go.

Lifting it up high and putting it down gently will surely let XiaoXin take a chance.

To be kind to one who murders oneself is not generosity but stupidity.

It wasn't the first time Zhi Xuan was poisoned, nor would it be the last.He must kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, and tell the world through harsh means: As the Marquis of Xiyuan, he is not afraid of conspiracy.However, no matter who wants to do it, it is best to think clearly about the consequences.If you can kill him, let it go, if you can't kill him, you must be prepared to be hit back.

Zhi Xuan has made up his mind and it is impossible to change it.

The witch doctor Sang knows that persuasion is useless, so he can only accept orders and do his job well.

As the morning music sounded, Zhi Xuan got up and went to the front hall.

When he entered the palace, the clans were divided into two groups and bowed to greet him.

Luo Gong was dressed in a black robe, with a jade crown on his head and a jade ring on his waist. He was one of the Six Ministers and under Luan Hui.

Zhi Xuan walked past him without stopping.It was decided to leave the people behind after the dynasty dispersed, and hand over the thorough investigation to him.

Luo Gong has a special status and often lives in a border area. He has nothing to do with the high officials of the court, let alone other countries.

One of the important reasons for transferring him to the western capital and promoting him to the position of minister was his harshness.

Zhi Xuan needs a sharp knife, and Luo Gong is quite suitable.

Knowing this, after arriving in the Western Capital City, Luo Gong seldom walked with the clan, and his family members were also strictly controlled. He could push back invitations whenever he came across them. Unless necessary, he seldom interacted with others.

So cautious, people can't catch any loopholes.

Luo Gong knew Zhi Xuan well, and was not worried that he would be boiled to death.He taught his children and grandchildren that the Luo family is self-sufficient, as long as the monarch needs it, everyone can be a sword.Whether internally or externally, the blade must be stained with blood.

"Your Majesty values ​​benevolence and righteousness, and is unwilling to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Otherwise, I would be decapitated in Zhidi, and the Luo family would also be wiped out."

Luo Gong is strict with himself, and never forgets to teach his children and grandchildren that the king needs a sharp knife, and the Luo family will do his part!

"The Su clan controls the army, the Fan clan cultivates the law, the Yang clan and the Luan clan each have their own strengths, how can the Luo clan be compared with them, it is only cool!"

For the Luo family, Luo Gong's position is extremely clear.

After the early dynasty, Luo Gong was left behind.Hearing Zhi Xuan's order, he accepted the order without any hesitation.

"The minister will live up to the trust of the emperor!"

Since he was promoted to the position of minister, Luo Gong received an important task for the first time.With this incident, he will officially enter the political arena between the Western capital and even the vassal states.

Since it is a knife in the hands of the monarch, the blade is sharpened, and it is natural to drink blood.

As for who to whom, Luo Gong didn't care.

Whoever dares to murder Zhi Xuan and threaten him will be killed by Leng Feng!

There was a storm in the western capital city, and as the situation expanded, the main envoy faintly pointed at the central capital city.The news did not spread on the open side, and countries only passed it on secretly, and rumors arose for a while.

It seems that Xiyuan Kingdom is not in a hurry to reveal the real murderer to the public, which makes the truth more confusing and more treacherous.

Thinking of the ferociousness of the Xiyuan Kingdom, all countries are tense, and they are extremely careful even when inquiring, lest they will be targeted by the Xiyuan Kingdom and cause unnecessary trouble.

At the same time, the flames of war in Yingcheng had also been extinguished.

The Ying family expended all their efforts to set up a murderous situation, and did not hesitate to use the city and tens of thousands of people as bait, but the result was still in vain.

All the dead soldiers who ambush in advance were killed, and the soldiers who pretended to be city citizens were not spared. No prisoners were left outside the battlefield, and they were all killed if they surrendered or not.

The incident shocked the nations, and accusations came from all over the world.

All of a sudden, Nanyou Country became a victim instead, and was sympathized by the world.

"Cruel and cruel?" Qing, who gave the order to kill, sneered again and again, holding the long knife in his hand, and said solemnly, "If the young master can't wake up, don't talk about cheating thousands of people, and swear by my family's totem, that Nanyou country will be slaughtered, and no chickens or dogs will be left behind! "

The historian recorded at the side that such appalling words did not affect him in the slightest, his expression remained unchanged, and his strokes were described one by one, as stable as Mount Tai from beginning to end.

In the big tent, Wu knelt down to pray, cut his forehead with a dagger, and sprinkled blood into the fire.

Zhao Hao was lying on the couch with his upper body wrapped in a white cloth, bright red blood oozing out.The doctor standing by the couch carefully inspected the wound, and couldn't help showing joy.

"Poison solution!"

When he was assassinated that day, because his horse broke his front leg, Zhao Hao couldn't dodge all the arrows and could barely avoid the vital points.

After killing the soldiers, Zhao Hao was hurriedly sent back to the camp, and the battlefield was handed over to two ministers to command.

The doctor took the arrow for Zhao Hao and found that the arrow was highly poisonous.

If it was an ordinary arrow, it would not be able to pierce Zhao Hao's armor, but it was an iron arrow!

The blood loss and severe poison caused Zhao Hao to fall into a high fever. Thanks to the pills left by the witch doctor and the military doctors who are good at distinguishing poisons, they suppressed the poison and saved his life.

During the detoxification period, Zhao Hao fell into a coma due to high fever and never woke up.

The army captured the city of Ying, and in anger, Qing ordered to kill him, and no one in the army objected.

The historian recorded one by one, even though he was on a mission, he couldn't help feeling angry when he thought of the seriously injured Gongzi Hao.

It is conceivable that if Zhao Hao can't wake up, Qing's oath must become a reality, and what awaits Nanyou's monarch and ministers will not only lose their land, but destroy their country!
