Chapter 148 "The Panacea"

After the court meeting began, Di Renjie spoke first.

He cupped his hands and bowed, "I'm reporting to the empress, my minister Di Renjie, chancellor of Dali Temple, has something important to report."

"speak."

Empress Wu said flatly that although she had received the memorial yesterday, she didn't know the specifics.

"Yes."

Di Renjie said solemnly: "The ministers have found out that all the sparrow tongue tea that was sent to Chang'an as a tribute has been poisoned by someone."

"what?!"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the court hall, and the officials all exclaimed.

You know, this sparrow tongue tea is popular in Chang'an, and they don't drink it less.

Empress Wu on the phoenix chair was even more furious:
"What nonsense!"

"Do you know that in Chang'an, almost all of the more than a thousand royals drink sparrow tongue?"

What she meant was that as a royal tribute, this sparrow tea would naturally have to go through many tests.

If there is a problem, there is no reason why the people in charge of testing and the doctors who test the poison can't find it.

Regarding this, Di Renjie explained: "Queen Qi, the Gu in the tea is called "Dung Beetle", and it is a thousand-year-old strange Gu."

"This kind of Gu worm is extremely hidden and unknown, so ordinary people can't find it at all."

"Wei Chen also turned to the former Imperial Physician Wang Fu to confirm the identity of this Gu worm."

"This……"

Hearing his explanation, Empress Wu began to hesitate a bit, not because of Di Renjie, but because of the former imperial physician, Deputy Wang.

The reputation of Deputy Wang was known to everyone in the palace, and everyone was ignorant of it, and many people were shocked by his miraculous medical skills.

If it wasn't because he was too old, it would be absolutely impossible for the emperor and empress Wu to allow him to retire and return home.

Now that he said there was a problem with the sparrow, it was very likely that there was a problem.

So, Empress Wu then asked: "Is there any conclusive evidence?"

Although I already have some doubts in my heart, in this court, there must be evidence to be convincing.

Di Renjie said softly: "Just let a minister who has drunk this tea drink a special antidote."

"When the time comes, the Gu worms will manifest themselves, and everything will naturally become clear."

Wu Hou nodded expressionlessly:
"That's right."

Han Fei on the side admired her calmness. Facing such a catastrophe of exterminating the nation, she didn't show any panic at all.

Sure enough, to achieve great things, a very deep city is a must.

Afterwards, Di Renjie picked up the special antidote he had brought, and began to inspect the hall.

And the officials in the court began to lower their heads one after another, for fear that they would be elected.

You know, the situation is unclear now, if there is a problem with this medicine, then there will be no tears.

After all, testing medicine is not as simple as drinking water.

In the end, Di Renjie chose Ding Yuan, the doctor of Guanglu, as the subject of the drug test in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Because according to the information he inquired, this Ding Yuan is very fond of sparrows, and he drinks several pots every day.

Now there are so many Gu worms in his body, he is the most suitable candidate for testing medicine.

The selected Ding Yuan's old face collapsed, and he said reluctantly: "Empress Empress, this..."

Although he was full of resistance, Empress Wu would not pay attention to these things:

"Ding Qing's actions now are for the stability of the entire Tang Dynasty, so don't refuse."

"Yes."

Ding Yuan responded with a bitter face.

The words have come to this point, even if he resists and fears again, he has no choice but to obey.

Afterwards, Ding Yuan took the antidote and put it to his mouth, just about to drink it, but a strange smell made him stop.

He was immediately disgusted: "What is this antidote made of, how can it be so fishy and sour."

He might not be able to eat for a day just after taking that sip. If he drank it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Regarding this, Di Renjie explained without blushing and heartbeat:

"This antidote is the ancestral secret recipe of the former Imperial Physician Wang Fu. Although the taste is strange, the effect is extremely good."

"Drinking a bowl...can prolong your life by one year."

Hearing this, Ding Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, he couldn't care less about the bad smell.

Without saying a word, he immediately drank the antidote in his hand, for fear that others would snatch it from him.

The onlookers looked envious. They knew that they had volunteered to drink this panacea just now.

And Empress Wu was also slightly moved, she asked tentatively: "Is this antidote really a nourishing recipe?"

Di Renjie shook his head, he did not choose to hide, but told the truth:
"Queen Qi, this antidote is actually...it's the boy's urine I just ordered from the management office."

"what!"

Ding Yuan, who had just finished drinking the antidote, turned pale with shock, and said indiscriminately:
"This, this, this is eunuch urine?!"

After finishing speaking, he retched immediately, and his whole face became more and more livid.

Seeing this, Empress Wu directly reprimanded Di Renjie angrily: "Bold Di Renjie, you dare to make my minister drink urine!"

In this court, doing such things can be said to be an insult to the state.

If Di Renjie didn't have a reasonable explanation, then his head might have to be separated from his body.

Seeing this, Di Renjie explained calmly:

"This boy's urine is indeed the antidote to dung beetles. I lied because I was afraid that no one would try the medicine."

Empress Wu looked at Di Renjie coldly, and asked, "How long will it take for this antidote to take effect?"

"According to Vice Wang, one hour is enough."

"it is good!"

Empress Wu immediately ordered: "Come here, send Di Renjie to the execution ground. If after an hour, Doctor Wang has not changed."

"Then kill him on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Several guards moved forward quickly, about to push Di Renjie down.

Just as Han Fei was about to make a move, he suddenly felt locked on by more than a dozen auras.

These auras are not only huge, but also extremely deep, many of which are even far above him.

The idea of ​​doing it was instantly vetoed by Han Fei. If he did it now, he would be dead.

Sure enough, the Xuanzheng Palace is the center of a country, and the hidden guarding power is really appalling.

Soon, Di Renjie was suppressed, and before leaving, he gave Han Fei a reassuring look.

At this time, Empress Wu suddenly said to Han Fei: "You come with him, if there is no result after an hour, then you should sit with him."

Han Fei was dumbfounded;

I didn't say a word the whole time, but if something went wrong, I had to die together. Who can I ask for reason?

However, at this time, people are under the eaves, even if they are reluctant, they can only bow their heads first...

Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Everyone's gazes were fixed on Ding Yuan leaning against the pillar with a look of lovelessness.

One of the officials boldly stepped forward and asked, "Master Ding, have you changed?"

"Variety?!"

Ding Yuan's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he asked back: "Go and drink a bowl of urine, let me see how you change?"

Now that he is drinking urine in the court hall, his face has been ruined and his reputation has been ruined.

When this matter gets out, he will have no face to live in this world.

So, don't say it's okay now, even if something really happened, he would keep it secret.

Di Renjie is not dead, it is hard to dispel the hatred in his heart.

Seeing that Ding Yuan was safe and sound, Empress Wu looked at Han Fei and ordered coldly:

"Behead Di Renjie, and let me crush him as well."

The guards moved forward slowly, Han Fei secretly charged up, and the people hiding in the palace began to move.

A tense atmosphere began to spread in the hall. Even if the ministers had not learned martial arts, they could still feel the wind and rain coming.

War is imminent...
