Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 843 Please help me, Lord Hou!

   Just when Li Xin was adjusting the documents in the Taiyuan Hospital and looking up the prescriptions Zhang Daozheng had prescribed in the palace over the years, he suddenly received the news that Zhang Daozheng had died.

   When he returned from the Imperial Hospital to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, Zhang Daozheng's body was cold.

  The expression of the Lord of Jing'an was extremely ugly.

   He glanced coldly at Zhang Daoyuan and the others, and said coldly, "It seems that this Marquis treats you prisoners very well!"

   With a big wave of his hand, the people of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain were all put in shackles, and even the contemporary Tianshi of Longhu Mountain was put on heavy shackles.

   The Celestial Master gave Li Xin a wry smile.

   "Master Li, what did you say to the fifth brother, Lao Dao, after he came back, he used Yuhua Dan..."

This sentence    put aside the relationship between the Tianshifu and the dead Zhang Daozheng, meaning that the Tianshifu did not know anything about Zhang Daozheng.

  Li Xin was expressionless and walked up to the Celestial Master.

"Old Daoist, this Marquis doesn't need any evidence, and now he can directly order to kill more than 50 of you, and then designate you as the rebels who murdered the late emperor. At that time, the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain will also be executed. will cease to exist."

   "And the various yamen in the capital don't even have a word, does the old Taoist believe it?"

Religious forces are always religious forces, no matter how respected Longhushan's status in the Taoist sect is, and no matter how many years the Tianshifu has been passed down, when they face Li Xin, a powerful man in the court , still seems too pale and powerless.

As Li Xin himself said, he can directly use the name of murdering the late emperor to kill all the people in Tianshifu in the capital without any evidence, and even go further, the thousand-year-old Taoist tradition of Tianshifu will be easily obliterated by him. If it is lost, Longhu Mountain will be together, and it will also be designated as a cult by the imperial court, and it will never be recovered from now on.

   Zhang Tianshi also heard the threat in Li Xin's words, and he bowed his head helplessly.

   "Master Li, my Zhang family will definitely cooperate with Master Hou in investigating the case."

   Li Xin glanced coldly at Zhang Daozheng's body lying on the ground.

   "If it's really what your Zhang family did, it's impossible for a Zhang Daozheng to die. This is the end of the matter."

   "If you didn't do it, then there's no need for him to die."

   After saying these words, Lord Jingan threw his sleeves angrily and walked away.

  …

Originally, the investigation of this kind of thing would not be the responsibility of the Ministry of the Army anyway. Even if it was to be investigated, it should not be investigated by Li Xin, a first-rank senior officer, but because of his affection back then, Li Xin was still willing to do it. thing.

In the next two or three days, he led people to read all the prescriptions left by Zhang Daozheng in the Taiyuan Hospital, and then handed them over to the Taiyuan doctor for identification. In the end, every prescription was identified, and most of them were solid There is no problem with the recipe of this Yangshen.

   If there is no problem with the recipe, then the medicine is no problem.

   After the doctor enters the palace for diagnosis and treatment, he is only responsible for prescribing the prescription, and then dispensing the medicine and testing the medicine, all of which are operated by the people in the palace. That is to say, as long as the prescription is correct, the final medicine is unlikely to be problematic.

   He tossed for two or three days in the Tai Hospital, but in the end he didn't find any problems.

  In the end, he entered the palace, and the inner waiter found Xiao Zheng, the **** who was busy.

  This **** Xiao is not very old. He is about the same age as the late emperor, which means he is only thirty-four or five years old, but in just a few months, this once high-spirited **** has turned white.

   The death of the late emperor was a great blow to him.

Originally, one emperor, one courtier, the new emperor heir, other positions may be replaced bit by bit, but the position of the inner court should be replaced as soon as possible, just like Chen Ju back then, Xiao Zheng should also be replaced. Go to Tailing to guard the mausoleum of the late emperor.

   But because the new emperor is still young, it is not easy for the inner court to have a particularly big turmoil, so Xiao Zheng can stay in the palace for a few more years, but after the new emperor takes control, he probably cannot escape the fate of guarding the imperial mausoleum.

   Therefore, Eunuch Xiao has been very haggard recently.

   When Li Xin found the inner servant, it was impossible for him to disappear. He immediately welcomed Li Xin in person and served tea in the main hall. Li Xin had no intention of sitting with him and drinking tea, so he asked straight to the point.

"Eunuch Xiao, all the people from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain have now been locked up by me. In the past few days, I checked the prescriptions that Zhang Daozheng from the Tianshi Mansion had given to the late emperor in the Tai Hospital, and found no problems. "

  Li Xin frowned and continued to ask: "All these years, Eunuch Xiao served in front of the late emperor. Does Eunuch Xiao know that Zhang Daozheng has used other medicines for the late emperor?"

  Xiao Zheng was already a little haggard, and his face became even more unsightly when he heard this.

  The Son of Heaven entered the elixir, he naturally knew, but if this elixir really harmed His Majesty, then the people around them would be guilty of dereliction of duty.

   He bowed his head slightly and thought for a long time.

   Lying is naturally inappropriate, otherwise it would not be as simple as dereliction of duty.

   "Master Hou, the people from the Tianshi Mansion, in addition to giving medicine to the late emperor, he also took a medicine pill."

   He said solemnly: "It's just that there shouldn't be any problem with this medicinal pill. Before entering the pill, there are people from the inner guard who try the pill."

  The Marquis of Jing An moved in his heart, and after asking Xiao Zheng in detail about the efficacy of the Mengdan this time, he frowned slightly.

This thing, to put it bluntly, is similar to the effect of sleeping pills. It is useful at the beginning, and the natural effect will get worse and worse when you eat too much. So later, in order to be able to fall asleep, Emperor Taikang will change from one to two. In the ninth year of Taikang, even if he took three or four Huimeng Pills, it would be difficult for him to fall asleep again.

Originally, insomnia should be caused by anxiety, etc. If you take care of it slowly, there will not be any major problems. At most, it will only be a few years of neglectful and lazy government. The foundation of Dajin is so deep that even if the emperor stays behind closed doors for a few years, he will not be able to recuperate. There won't be any big problems.

   But in those years, both the southwest and the northern border were hidden problems. There was a powerful person like Li Xin in the courtroom. Emperor Taikang didn't dare to rest for a day, and he fell asleep with this medicine.

  It’s fine for a month or two, but after two or three years, the body will naturally collapse.

   Coupled with the so-called prophecy, he kept suggesting to himself that he could no longer hold on at the end of the ninth year of Taikang, and soon passed away.

   In the end, the emperor himself has to bear a large part of the responsibility for this matter, and the people in the Tianshi Mansion are also responsible, but they are only part of the joint responsibility.

  Thinking of this, Li Xin was expressionless.

The "truth" he found out is reasonable and unexpected. If this is the case, Zhang Daozheng, who gave the emperor's medicine, is dead, and he really doesn't know how to hold the Tianshifu accountable. .

  Li Xin was sitting in the main hall of the inner guard, frowning and thinking about the Tianshi Mansion. Xiao Zheng on the side took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.

   He looked left and right, then lowered his head and whispered to Li Xin, "Master Hou..."

   Li Xin woke up from his contemplation and glanced at the big eunuch.

   "Eunuch Xiao has anything else?"

  Xiao Zheng has been in charge of the inner court for more than ten years, and he has already seen the big wind and waves, but at this time, his voice is still trembling slightly.

   "Master Hou, I don't want to guard the imperial mausoleum..."

   He murmured.

   "I'm only thirty-five years old this year, and I can still do things in the palace..."

   "Please Lord Hou help me..."
