Prison Dragon

Chapter 94

The day has never been short of a long rope, and the water goes to the clouds and returns.

If you want to buy the sea with Magu, a cup of spring dew is as cold as ice.

In the 26th year of Yuankang, Dingmao in the first month of spring, the yellow fog was everywhere, and just after the New Year's Eve, there was a severe cold.

The emperor just came out from Wu Yizhi's place, drank some wine, and was on his way to see Concubine Xian.

"What's the matter with Concubine Xian?" He touched Wu Yizhi's hand and asked.

"I don't know." Wu Yizhi smiled softly, leaning on the emperor's chest.

Yang Ting was over fifty years old, and his body seemed to be quite strong. After drinking for a while, he became dizzy and felt a little stuffy, so he tore off the clothes on his chest.

His strong chest exuded heat in the north wind, Wu Yizhi tactfully placed a kiss on his bare chest.

If it wasn't for her second prince Yang Ti, Concubine Xian wouldn't want to see him, and the couple would hate each other.

Concubine Xian has to do some superficial work, "Your Majesty hasn't been here for a long time, let's rest here today."

Yang Ting thought about it, he still needs Concubine Xian's father to preside over the overall situation of the court for him, and he can't be too indifferent to Concubine Xian.

"Alright." He pinched Wu Yizhi's slender waist, "You go back first."

Wu Yizhi saluted the two in turn, and walked back through the snow.

"It's been a long time since I came to Zilan Palace." Yang Ting spread his hands and let Xianfei and maids take off his clothes for him.

Concubine Xian said softly: "Your Majesty should come to Zilan Palace more often if you have time."

Yang Ting nodded.

The two chatted in a hurry before resting.

The next day, Concubine Xian got up first and was about to call Yang Ting to court.Yang Ting's breath was heavy, and he still didn't wake up after shouting for a long time.Concubine Xian touched his forehead, it was hot.

"Your Majesty, you must have a fever." The maid said, "Do you want to call the imperial doctor?"

"Hurry up and call the imperial doctor." Concubine Xian said anxiously, Yang Ting hasn't established a crown prince yet, so nothing can happen to him yet.

The imperial doctor took the pulse, and said that it was wind and cold entering the body, rest for a few days, and take a few medicines to drive away the cold.

Concubine Xian sent someone to go to the court and told the emperor that he had caught a cold and had to rest for three days.

After taking the medicine, Yang Ting became more energetic, sat up and said a few words to Concubine Xian, and then fell asleep.After taking the second patch in the evening, Yang Ting vomited blood and fell into a coma.

Concubine Xian turned pale with fright, the imperial doctor took the pulse, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her head, "Your Majesty, your majesty is suffering from a cold, and all the medicines prescribed by you are hot and dry medicines. Your majesty fell into a coma because he took the medicine of the same nature. Adding yang, the fierceness clashes, so it hurts the body."

"Who gave Your Majesty something else to eat?" Concubine Xian asked all the palace people to question her.

"Your Majesty," said her eldest maid, "In addition to taking medicine today, His Majesty just drank a few sips of clear porridge. The porridge and water were all seen by the imperial physician. There is no problem. Your Majesty is ill, and there is no incense in the room."

"Since there is nothing, why did something happen to His Majesty?" Concubine Xian roared angrily.

Concubine Jing is her cousin, who has been in the palace for three years, when she heard the news and rushed over, Concubine Xian was afraid that something might happen to the emperor in her palace, so she was already in a mess.

Concubine Jing said: "Sister, don't panic, who was His Majesty with yesterday, maybe he ate there."

Wu Yizhi.

Concubine Xian immediately issued an order to arrest all male favorites of Yang Ting, waiting for interrogation.Male pets do despicable work. Noble and innocent children will not enter the palace, and they have no heirs. They have to fight with each other for the emperor's favor. It can be said that they are the most popular in the palace when the emperor is here. Characters, when the emperor is away, they immediately become fish on the chopping board.

Wu Yizhi was an exception, he had the support of Concubine Wu Hui, and Concubine Xian dragged him to Zilan Hall before Concubine Wu Hui arrived, and called Yang Xiu who was in charge of the investigation.

Originally, Yang Xiu helped Yang Ting manage the dark forces and secretly monitored the officials and officials. Seven years ago, Yang Xiu wrote a letter to integrate some eunuchs, internal guards, border assistants who spied on the border military situation, and Yang Ting's forces in the court to form "" "Check things" means to check the affairs of the world for the emperor's use.

Supervise hundreds of officials, go down to take charge of the group, the official has no bureau, no position limit, follow the situation, make it ideally, the law is made in the pen, do not follow the imperial edict, the prison is established under the door, and the re-examination is not accepted.

Since the fall of the crown prince, the Qian family has also disappeared, and finally there is no one in the court who can hinder Yang Ting by himself. By relying on his investigation, he is more powerful than usual.

Yang Xiu completely listened to Yang Ting's orders, and even made false testimony for Yang Ting and arrested officials at will. It can be said that he is the prince who is most respected by Yang Ting.In contrast, the price Yang Xiu paid was that his hands were stained with blood, he was cast aside by the world, and his reputation was notorious.Yang Ting needed him and was wary of him. On the one hand, he kept giving him the power to spy, on the other hand, he restricted his actions, and even said in front of all officials that Yang Xiu would be a good minister to assist his brother in the future.

This is the determination that he is unwilling to let Yang Xiu inherit the Great Reign.

However, at this moment, if anyone can represent Yang Ting's meaning, it is only Yang Xiu.Only Yang Xiu has the right to bypass the officials and directly arrest people and throw them into prison.

As for whether he can survive the punishment of the imperial prison, it is uncertain.

Wu Yizhi and all the servants in his palace were escorted to the Purple Orchid Hall, and Yang Xiu and Concubine Jing stood by Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian only asked Wu Yizhi if Yang Ting had eaten at his place.

Wu Yizhi had known about the emperor's serious illness a long time ago, but now it seems that Concubine Xian is trying to blame the emperor's illness on him, even if he ate something, he dare not tell.Now I just hope that Concubine Wu Hui will come to rescue him soon after receiving the news.

He looked up at Yang Xiu, although Yang Xiu had some relationship with him, Wu Yizhi also knew that the relationship was all designed by him, Yang Xiu didn't take him seriously at all.

What's more, compared to him, Yang Xiu only listened to the emperor alone.

If something happens, Yang Xiu won't protect him.

"Your Majesty only ate some melons and fruits with me, and drank two cups of green clouds." Wu Yizhi replied.

Concubine Xian sneered, "Really?"

She pointed to the court ladies beside Wu Yizhi and asked one by one, "Come tell me?"

Before the maids had time to collude, they followed Wu Yizhi's usual instructions to talk to him.

Concubine Jing stood aside and threatened: "I tell you, the imperial doctor said that His Majesty got sick after eating something strong. Your Majesty was healthy and healthy a few days ago. He came from your palace yesterday and fell into a coma today. That is The accident happened in your palace, if you don't tell the truth, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor and agreeing to conspiracy."

Wu Yizhi wanted to hold back, but Concubine Jing put the hat on his head directly, of course he can't take this hat, Wu Yizhi said: "He was fine when I sent His Majesty over yesterday, but Concubine Xian Your Majesty stayed here for one night and fell ill today, why didn't Your Majesty Xian Concubine investigate the people in your palace?"

Concubine Xian said angrily: "Do you think this Palace didn't check? No one in Zilan Palace gave Your Majesty food to eat! Come and search Wu Yizhi's courtyard."

"Concubine Xian, don't bully people too much!"

"Wu Yizhi!" Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows, "How dare you talk to me like this when you are a petty boy? Concubine Wu Hui has a prince, and you dare not act presumptuously in front of me!"

Yang Xiu stood aside and watched their argument.

After a while, the people who searched the yard came up and reported that they had found spring medicine and Wushi powder from Wu Yizhi.

Wu Yizhi's face changed drastically immediately.He thought a lot, but he didn't think of aphrodisiacs and five stone powder.

After taking the five stone powder, the body is dry and hot, so I want to walk in a cool place, usually the emperor stays in the house to walk, but yesterday I received the news from the concubine Xian, and I went there without walking, presumably because I opened my clothes on the way and caught the wind and cold , the imperial doctor gave him another medicine, but this medicine and the aphrodisiac/medicine were mixed together, which caused a lot of troubles.

"Niang Niang," said the imperial doctor after looking at the aphrodisiac medicine, "this medicine is called Wanchunlou, which can arouse/emotion/help/invigorate. Good, it must be that this medicine collided with the medicinal properties of the Royal Hospital. Originally, the medicinal properties collided, and it would not be so serious, but His Majesty took it for many years, enjoyed a lot of pleasure on weekdays, and his body was empty, so the condition became more serious."

Wu Yizhi argued: "Ma'am, it's not me, all the male favorites have this medicine, and it was His Majesty who wanted to take it, and everyone has some in their palaces."

"Junyang Jun," Yang Xiu made a gesture of invitation, "If you have anything to say, please come to my procuratorial office to talk."

Wu Yizhi couldn't believe it. Could it be that he had been honored for many years and was about to fall into a fight for no reason?

"Don't worry," Yang Xiu said softly, "Your brothers will also accompany you. Anyone in the palace who has ** and Wushisan will not be able to escape. Please?"

"It's not me, Concubine Xian, Your Highness Sixth, it's not me..." Wu Yizhi was taken away by Yang Xiu's inspector.

"Your Majesty is currently ill and it is not appropriate to move," Yang Xiu said to Concubine Xian, "I hope your Majesty will take good care of His Majesty."

"It's natural, I want His Majesty to be healthy more than anyone else." Concubine Xian said, Yang Ting at least waited for Yang Ti to be the crown prince before he died.

Yang Xiu turned the palace upside down that night, and arrested all the people who had hidden medicine, Yiying, and brought them into the prosecutor's office for interrogation.

Concubine Xian's father, Lin Mu, had just been promoted to Zhongshu Ling. The night the emperor vomited blood, he and his grandson Yang Ti went to the palace to meet Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Jing were guarding the emperor's bedside, Lin Mu first asked, "When does the imperial doctor say His Majesty will recover?"

"I haven't said anything yet," Concubine Xian finally calmed down when she saw her father and son. Serve carefully."

"Isn't there a Daoist in Taiyun Pavilion? I heard that he is also good at medicine." Second Prince Yang Ti said, "Why don't you invite him to come and see?"

"I don't worry, the Taoist priest is an outsider after all, and the imperial doctor belongs to our own family."

Concubine Xian was worried about Yang Ting's illness, but Lin Mu just paced in the room silently.

"Uncle," said Concubine Jing, "you are talking. I have to give my sister and His Royal Highness an idea on what to do."

Lin Mu has been in the court for many years, and has dealt with large and small affairs. Yang Ti is still young, and his head is full of ink for writing articles, but his mind is not very long. Lin Mu is their only support at this moment.

"Concubine Xian, in your opinion, which prince will His Majesty appoint as the crown prince?" Lin Mu asked suddenly.

Concubine Xian thought for a while, "I don't know, but I always feel that His Majesty does not want to establish a crown prince."

"The crown prince is the foundation of the country, why would father not want to..." Yang Ti said.

"You're right," Lin Mu interrupted Yang Ti, "It's been ten years since the prince was abolished, and His Majesty hasn't established a new prince yet. He wants to waste the princes, and in the end, he will be responsible for the end. This is how the Qian family was consumed. Look, after the Qian family collapsed, how much power His Majesty took in his hands. Yang Xiu alone was a headache, and he even sent Yang You to the southwest. Now the southwest has long It became Yang You's pocket, and the three armies of the Zhaoyi Army, the Zhenning Army, and the Shenlong Army obeyed."

"The fifth younger brother is gentle and weak, and he can stabilize the southwest with the help of the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy. What's more, there is a corner in the middle of Shu, and the three armies in the southwest are only 20. The Fourteen Guards around Lidu alone have 40 soldiers. He It’s useless.”

"What do you know?" Lin Mu reprimanded, "The Fourteen Guards Mansion is in your hands? Doesn't Your Majesty know what kind of temperament Yang You is? It is because he is weak and obedient that he was let outside. The Southwest Army is not Yang You You's soldiers are His Majesty's soldiers. He raised Yang You to grind Yang Shi. He raised you and used me to grind the third prince. He raised Yang Xiu to grind me. Keep the seventh prince. , is waiting for us to run out, if there is no winner, he will make up for it.”

"So, Your Majesty doesn't want my son to inherit the throne at all." Concubine Xian was somewhat disbelieving.

"It's not that he doesn't want to, he just wants to wait for us to finally spell out the rest, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

The sickness of the imperial power falling away for many years has lasted for several generations. Even the courtiers took it for granted that the emperor was just a decoration, and the officials and prime ministers really controlled the court.

But it was Yang Ting, who seemed extremely bewildered, who slowly laid out the layout, and actually changed the structure of the court, tilting the center of power to the emperor.

If it weren't for his personal morality being too stained, Lin Mu would have admired him as a good emperor.

"We can't wait, this is the best opportunity." Lin Mu made up his mind, "Yang Xiu is a toothless dog without the emperor's support, and Concubine Wu Hui and the Seventh Prince are not enough without Wu Yizhi blowing the pillow wind." Out of fear. The fourth prince, Yang Shi, was still at war with the Turks in the northwest, and the fifth prince, Yang You, could not return to Beijing without an edict. The third prince, Yang Ren, restrained himself a lot after he was punished by the emperor for making noise in his early years, and now he is living in seclusion in Nanshan."

"The emperor is in our hands." Lin Mu twirled his beard, "Take the emperor to order the princes, Your Highness, while the old man is still in the position of Zhongshuling, you can order all the officials. This opportunity is not to be missed, and it will never come again. Don't think about it again." It depends on the emperor."

Concubine Xian nodded resolutely. Although Yang Ti didn't understand immediately, the blood was vaguely surging in his heart.
