Li Yan stretched out his hand to take the medicine bowl from the waiter, held the spoon in his right hand and slowly stirred it, and waited for the temperature of the medicine to dry to be suitable for the mouth, so he served Emperor Shengyuan to take the medicine.However, when the faint smell of medicine entered his nose, he couldn't help but change his face slightly.

In the next second, Li Yan flipped his hands decisively and poured all the bowl full of medicine onto the ground under his feet.

As soon as the dark brown concoction touched the ground paved with white marble, a strange blue smoke burst out immediately.

Emperor Sheng Yuan on the hospital bed also changed slightly when he saw it.

He didn't expect that his two ineffective sons would be so promising that they would have the guts to murder their father!

Li Yan looked at the green smoke still rising from the ground, and it was obvious that he had been poisoned with intestinal poison.

Fortunately, he had read a lot of precious medicine books in the Taihuashan Library Pavilion, and he had a lot of experience in identifying poisons. Just now he vaguely noticed that the smell of the medicine was not right, and became vigilant, so he saw through the bowl of poison.

If I hadn't noticed it for a while, and gave this bowl of medicine to the person in front of me even a sip, that person would definitely die of poison, and he would also be charged with the crime of poisoning the emperor and his father, and he would never be able to clean himself up by jumping into the Yellow River.

Heh... what a plan to kill two birds with one stone!

A bowl of poison can not only get rid of that person, but also set the blame on himself, and pull out his thorn in the side and the thorn in his flesh without any effort.

The person who poisoned him really has a poisonous mind and a very ruthless method!

Emperor Sheng Yuan looked at the bowl of poison on the ground, his expression had changed from initial shock/to anger.

In a fit of rage, Emperor Shengyuan ordered Dali Temple Minister Zhou Jin to investigate the matter thoroughly, and he must find out the traitor who was so rebellious and poisoned the king.

When such a big event happened, the minister of Dali Temple broke out in a cold sweat. Immediately after receiving the decree, he led a group of subordinates, starting with a few servants who were in charge of boiling and delivering the medicine. Under torture to extract a confession, the mastermind behind the scenes was quickly found out. make people.

And that person was the chief eunuch Qian Cheng and Eunuch Qian who had been serving Concubine De—that is, the second emperor's mother and concubine—for many years.

After Zhou Jin reported to Emperor Shengyuan, Qian Cheng was imprisoned and interrogated. After a lot of torture, Qian Cheng couldn't survive the torture. He confessed that he was entrusted by the empress of virtue and the second prince, so he ordered his servants to poison and kill the king. .

There are all the witnesses and material evidences, facing the emperor who was furious with Longyan and the iron evidence, Li Yu's face turned ashen, and he tremblingly admitted the crime of poisoning and killing the king.

Emperor Shengyuan was furious, and bestowed a three-foot white silk on the concubine De, and a glass of wine on the second prince, Li Yuzhen, and demoted his wife, concubine and children to common people.

At this point, the second prince and the party tree collapsed and the monkeys scattered, completely disintegrating.

It is not uncommon to see people who are at the helm of the wind or take refuge in the powerful eldest prince Li Hao, the powerful prince in the court, or do everything possible to show favor to the third prince Li Yan who is not crowned king but is in the limelight and is quite favored by Emperor Shengyuan.

However, Li Yan seemed to be completely unaware of those people's obvious intention to take refuge in him, and he still devoted himself to serving the sick every day, lived in a secluded place and was cautious in his words and deeds, and never made friends with foreign ministers without authorization.

Emperor Shengyuan praised this young son who was calm and respectful. More than once, in front of several important officials, he praised him for his benevolence, filial piety and righteousness.

Strange to say, after the incident of poisoning, Emperor Shengyuan's health began to improve gradually. I don't know if it is because the prescription newly researched by the Tai Hospital has seen miraculous effects, or it is just like what the star official said, the real dragon emperor has a hundred spirits to protect his body. Since bad luck can turn into good luck and death can be auspicious, some minor ailments can be cured even without medicine.

In short, like a dead tree in spring, Emperor Shengyuan's body became tough again, and his spirit improved a lot. Occasionally, he would go to court to handle government affairs when he felt in good spirits.

This made Jin Wang Li Hao, who only hoped that he would return to the west as soon as possible, so that he could ascend the throne as soon as possible in the name of his eldest son, secretly anxious.

On this day, Emperor Sheng Yuan came to the court again, Zuo Pu wrote a letter, proposing to build a mansion for the third prince Li Yan.

At that time, Li Yan was not yet old enough to be crowned, and according to the practice of this dynasty, no prince who was young enough to be crowned could not be crowned king.

You Pushe immediately stepped out and refuted according to this practice.

However, Emperor Shengyuan said that Daoyi had been wronged by being tainted as a half-demon, and his mother Concubine Shu was wronged and given to death, and I should make compensation.Now that Zuo Pushe proposed to be crowned king, then Yi would be crowned as King of Qin, given the Palace of King Qin, and three thousand personal guards for his control.

As soon as the son of heaven finished speaking, Jin Wang Li Hao, who was standing among the courtiers, immediately changed his face.

More than a thousand years ago, Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and proclaimed himself emperor, but now Emperor Shengyuan actually named Li Yan the king of Qin, his intention could not be more obvious.

After retiring from the court, Li Yan returned to Hanliang Hall after accepting the congratulations from all the officials.

A few days later, after the renovation of Prince Qin's mansion was completed, Li Yan moved to the newly given mansion with the three thousand personal guards bestowed by Emperor Sheng Yuan.

Just half a day after living in Prince Qin's mansion, a personal guard came in to announce that there was a general outside with hundreds of subordinates seeking to see him, and he called himself Qin Yang, the hundred generals of Baicao Valley.

Li Yan immediately remembered the Tiangang Wenrenyu he met that day in the suburbs of Jiangling.

Presumably she informed Baicao Valley of the changes in the capital, which aroused the attention of the rich man, and sent someone to help.

Li Yan hurriedly ordered the transmission, and a moment later a tall, heroic young general strode in and saluted Li Yan: "Hundred General Qin Yang of Baicao Valley, see His Highness King Qin."

After Li Yan asked him to watch the seat without ceremony, Qin Yang explained his intention of coming, exactly as Li Yan expected, the giant of Baicao Valley knew the situation in Gyeonggi, so he sent Qin Yang to show his support, and said that if His Royal Highness the Third Prince needs it, Baicao Gu can send troops to help at any time.

At the same time, in Prince Jin's mansion.

Jin Wang Li Hao was walking back and forth with an irritable expression on his face, but You Pushe opposite him was still as safe and stable as Mount Tai, and his old face still had an expression of unpredictable and profound knowledge.

Li Hao dropped the teacup on the table, and still couldn't help but burst into anger: "Isn't he just a concubine prince from a humble background, why should he be able to climb on the head of this king! Father is so stupid, he even made him a prince!" What King Qin, isn't it clear that he plans to pass the throne to him after a hundred years!"

"Cough," the right servant coughed dryly, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang is cautious."

Li Hao took a breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "The current situation is very unfavorable to this king, I can't sit and wait for death! You Pushe, you have always been resourceful, come and tell me, what should I do?"

The right servant bowed his head to Li Hao's ear, and whispered a few words in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

After hearing this, Li Hao's expression changed slightly: "So...is it really appropriate?"

The right servant nodded and said in a low voice, "This is the end of the matter. Only in this way can we survive from death and completely overturn the chess game. The king of Wei has been bestowed dead, and now there are only two princes, His Royal Highness and the King of Qin, under His Majesty's knees. As long as His Highness can kill King Qin, His Majesty will have no choice but to make His Highness the heir apparent. Even if he still refuses, His Highness still has an uncle who is the commander of the imperial army, won't he force the palace?"

Li Hao felt enlightened immediately when he heard the words, and he clapped his hands repeatedly and said, "Wonderful, great! You servant shot, fortunately you reminded me, so I won't miss this opportunity."
