Three Kingdoms King of the North

Chapter 519

After Zhang Yu received the report from the spies, he said repeatedly: "Thank God, thank God!" Then he happily returned to Han Xiandi.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who had been restless all the time, saw Zhang Yu entering his bedroom with a happy face, and immediately asked impatiently, "How is the Marquis of Anyang doing now?"

"Return to Your Majesty," Zhang Yu knelt in front of Han Xiandi, and reported to him: "The old slave has already found out that the Marquis of Anyang went back to the mansion drunk and drank some honey water. Who knows that honey is poisonous, which caused the Marquis of Anyang to faint. Can't wake up."

"Honey is poisonous?" After listening to Zhang Yu, Empress Fu asked curiously: "How can the honey in Anyang Hou's mansion be poisonous?"

"Due to the tight security of the State Shepherd's Mansion, the spies sent by the old slave could not approach the mansion at all. It was not until the two genius doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji left the mansion that the spies inquired about the matter from a follower on the way. As for the Anyang Marquis Mansion It is not known why the honey that is produced is poisonous.”

"Your Majesty, since the matter is over." Empress Fu saw that the matter had come to light, so she said to Han Xiandi: "Why don't you stop for a day today and rest in the bedroom?"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty put down the boulder in his heart, and felt a little tired at the moment. Naturally, he would not disagree with Empress Fu's proposal, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will stop for a day today. Zhang Yu, hurry up Go outside the palace to pass the decree, saying that I feel cold occasionally, so I will not go to court today."

"Old slave complies with the decree!" Zhang Yu agreed, got up and went outside to deliver the decree.

After Zhang Yu left, Empress Fu thoughtfully said to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, what happened to the Marquis of Anyang surprised you. You should stop for a day today, and you should go back to the couch and continue to lie down for a while."

Besides, Zhang Yu went outside and announced to the courtiers waiting outside the Golden Palace: "My lords, your majesty has caught a cold and feels a little unwell, so he will not go to court today."

"What, Your Majesty is unwell?" When everyone heard Zhang Yu's words, they immediately panicked. Yang Biao grabbed Zhang Yu and asked quickly: "During the banquet yesterday, Your Majesty was fine, why did you feel unwell today? Ask the medical officer in the palace for diagnosis and treatment?"

Zhang Yu was afraid that Yang Biao would make things worse, so he quickly pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "The Taiwei doesn't know something. Yesterday, the Marquis of Anyang came back from the palace and fell into a coma due to poisoning. Your Majesty is worried about the Marquis of Anyang. Once something unexpected happens, the Jizhou Civil and Military Association will bloodbath the palace and stay up all night. Fortunately, at dawn, when the definite news came back, His Majesty felt relieved and is resting in the palace right now."

"The Marquis of Anyang was poisoned?" Zhu Jun, who was on the side, couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news: "We all drank in the palace yesterday, and nothing happened. Why did the Marquis of Anyang get poisoned? Could it be that someone in the palace's cooks poisoned him?"

"No, no." Seeing the soldiers guarding the palace around him, Zhang Yu was deeply afraid that there were secret operations of Jizhou in it. It's just that Marquis Anyang drank poisonous honey in order to sober up."

"Poisonous honey?" Zhu Jun asked curiously, "Where does this honey come from?"

"I don't know." Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

"Hurry up and take me to see His Majesty." Yang Biao realized the seriousness of the problem, and quickly said to Zhang Yu: "If this matter cannot be handled properly, there will be endless troubles."

Zhang Yu knew that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would not be able to sleep well if he did not find out the poisonous honey.If Yang Biao, Zhu Jun and others come forward, the truth may soon be revealed.He didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly said to the two: "Yang Taiwei, Da Sinong, please come with this old slave."

The three came to the outside of the bedroom, Zhang Yu asked the two to wait for a while, and then went inside to report.

Although Han Xiandi was lying on the couch, when he thought of Han Zhan's poisoning, he felt flustered and couldn't fall asleep.Seeing Zhang Yu coming in from the outside at this moment, he sat up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to Your Majesty," Zhang Yu knelt on the ground and reported, "The Taiwei and Da Sinong are waiting outside the hall."

"Hurry up and announce the two of them to see each other."

Yang Biao and Zhu Jun entered the bedroom, knelt down in front of Emperor Xian's couch, and said in unison, "I see Your Majesty!"

"The two lovers are flat!" Han Xiandi sat up straight and asked the two: "I don't know what's the matter when I see you?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Jun saluted with his hands crossed, and said in his mouth: "I heard that the Marquis of Anyang returned home last night and fell into a coma due to poisoning. Afterwards, it was found out that he drank poisonous honey. I want to know, where did this poisonous honey come from?" Where did you come from?"

Zhu Jun asked this because he thought that some time ago, Yang Qi and others conspired to get rid of Han Zhan, and Han Xiandi knew about it, but turned a blind eye.Now if this matter is related to Yang Qi and others, there will inevitably be bloodshed.

"To be honest with the two Qing families, I don't know the origin of the poisonous honey." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at the two of them and said, "Why don't the two Qing families represent me and go to the state pastoral mansion to visit the Marquis of Anyang, and ask about the poisonous honey by the way. .”

"I will obey your orders!"

After two sticks of incense, Yang Biao and Zhu Jun came to the state pastoral mansion.

Chen Dao, who was staying in the mansion, heard that Yang Biao and Zhu Jun were jointly visiting, so he rushed out to greet him: "I have seen the two adults at the end."

"General Chen is exempt." Yang Biao asked with a smile, "I wonder if the Marquis of Anyang is in the residence?"

"If you go back to Taiwei, my lord is in the mansion." Chen Dao hastily moved aside, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation: "Please, my lords."

When Yang Biao and Zhu Jun followed Chen Dao to the mansion, Zhu Jun relied on his familiarity with the people in the mansion, so he asked bluntly: "General Chen, I heard that the Marquis of Anyang was poisoned after returning to the mansion last night. what's going on?"

"When my lord returned home last night, Ms. Cai saw that he was very drunk and was worried about hurting his health, so she ordered someone to prepare honey water and poured it on the lord." Chen Dao said to the two of them, "It turned out that the lord was in a coma soon." Wake up, invite Dr. Zhang for a diagnosis and treatment, only then did I know that I was poisoned.

Later, Miracle Physician Hua also arrived, and after a consultation, the two felt that there must be something wrong with the honey they drank.After checking, it turned out that there was something wrong with the honey. I gave the lord a few acupuncture needles and a dose of medicine, and the lord was safe and sound. "

Knowing that Han Zhan was safe and sound, Yang Biao and Zhu Jun felt more at ease.However, Yang Biao didn't explain the question in his heart. He was eager to know why honey was poisonous: "General Chen, I want to ask."

Only now did Chen understand that Yang Biao and Zhu Jun came here because they knew about Han Zhan's poisoning, and quickly explained to them: "Honey is what Ms. Cai's folks said. The poison is caused by the bees mistakenly picking poisonous flowers when gathering honey."

Chapter 520

The news of Han Zhan's poisoning was unknown to most people in Jizhou Wuzhong, except for a few important figures.And Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and several important ministers, who knew about this, also kept their mouths tight in order to avoid causing trouble.This incident, which was enough to make Yedu's blood flow like a river, just disappeared without a sound.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty went to the court the next day, and after all the military officials came forward to pay homage, Zhang Yu, the permanent servant of the Central Committee, shouted loudly: "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

As soon as his words fell, an official came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have an answer! Taifu Ma Rixun sent someone to send a message yesterday, saying that Cao Mengde has agreed to be an official now. But before he set off, I hope His Majesty can send a capable minister to take over the position of the prefect of Dongjun."

"Everyone." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty waited for the official to finish speaking, then looked at the military officials and asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate to take over the post of prefect of Dongjun?"

Hearing Emperor Han Xian's question, some officials immediately came out and recommended someone they liked to Emperor Han Xian.In a short time, 40 people were recommended.

Seeing so many candidates, Han Xiandi also felt a headache.In order to pick out the right candidate, he looked at Yang Biao and asked, "Taiwei Yang, who do you think can take over as the prefect of Dongjun?"

If it was the intention of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to let Cao Mengde enter Beijing as an official, Yang Biao would definitely recommend his relatives and old friends without hesitation. After all, there are many people waiting to become officials.But this matter was the intention of Anyang Marquis Han Zhan, so he had to be cautious: "Your Majesty, since it is Anyang Marquis' intention to let Cao Mengde enter the capital, it is better to ask him what he means and see if he has a suitable candidate."

"Xunqing's family." Seeing that Yang Biao mentioned Han Zhan, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also realized that the position of prefect of Dongjun was a hot potato now.Before Han Zhan's approval, it cannot be easily handed over to anyone.Thinking of this, he turned to Xun Yu who was standing in the crowd and asked, "I don't know if the Marquis of Anyang has a suitable candidate to serve as the prefect of Dongjun County."

"Report to Your Majesty," since the day Ma Rixun went to Dongjun to pass the decree and summoned Cao Mengde to Beijing, Han Zhan knew that Emperor Xian of Han would re-select the prefect of Dongjun sooner or later, so he had privately confessed to Xun Yu that if Emperor Xian of Han When asked about the candidate for the prefect of Dongjun, he answered like this.Hearing Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asking himself at this moment, he couldn't help admiring Han Zhan's foresight in his heart: "Dongjun is engaged in the Chen Palace and Chen Gongtai, so he can serve as the prefect."

"East County is engaged in Chengong Chen Gongtai?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard the name was very familiar, so he turned his head and asked Zhang Yu, the regular servant beside him: "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

"Return to Your Majesty." Zhang Yu hurriedly nodded and said, "This man entered the capital some time ago, lobbying all the court and military officials to deal with Cao Mengde."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked in puzzlement: "Since he is an official of Dongjun, why did he fight against the prefect?"

Zhang Yu knew a little about the grievances between Chen Gong and Cao Mengde. Hearing the question from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he quickly replied: "It is said that Cao Mengde killed Bian Rang, Chen Gongtai's friend, and not only occupied Bian's wife, but also destroyed Bian's family. Three clans."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty still had some impressions of Bian Rang. Hearing Zhang Yu mention it, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Isn't Bian Rang my Jiujiang prefect? ​​Why was he killed by Cao Mengde?"

"Report to Your Majesty," Zhang Yu explained, "Bian Rang lived in Chenliu after he resigned and went back to seclusion. Because of his own talent, he ignored Cao Mengde and despised and belittled Cao Mengde many times. Bian Rang His enemy went to Dongjun to inform Cao Mengde, and Cao Mengde, in a rage, ordered Bian Rang to be killed, and his family members were put in prison, and they were all killed soon."

"Damn, this is too hateful." Knowing that Cao Mengde had killed Bian Rang without authorization, Emperor Xian of the Han said angrily, "Cao Mengde is so courageous, a little Dongjun prefect, dare to kill the court official without authorization. I will definitely He should be punished severely."

"Your Majesty," Zhang Yu saw that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was angry, and quickly said: "Cao Mengde has several strong generals and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Even the Marquis of Anyang will give him three points, otherwise he will take the initiative to invite Cao Mengde to the court as an official." According to this old servant, it is better to wait until Cao Mengde enters the court, and then choose the opportunity to deal with it."

As soon as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard that what Zhang Yu said was reasonable, he gave up the idea of ​​​​disposing of Cao Mengde, and announced the decree in public that Dongjun should be in charge of Chen Gongtai and take over the post of Dongjun prefect.Then he sent an envoy to Chenliu to deliver an edict to Chen Gong, ordering him to take up the post in Dongjun immediately and take over the post of prefect.

After the court was over, Xun Yu hurried to the State Shepherd's Mansion and reported the matter to Han Zhan.After Han Zhan heard this, he was silent for a long time before he asked, "Uncle, Your Majesty asked Chen Gongtai to serve as the governor of Dongjun County. If Cao Mengde came to Beijing honestly, maybe I can recommend him for an important position; if he doesn't know good and bad, he can't obey the order." Enter Beijing, and then we can justifiably attack him."

"Master," although Han Zhan called his uncle one by one in private, Xun Yu maintained due respect for Han Zhan. He reminded Han Zhan: "If you want to send troops to attack Cao Mengde, then your subordinates must start preparing food and grass now." , for the army to go out to use.”

"Uncle, I don't need to prepare food and grass." Han Zhan felt that since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had issued an imperial edict to let Cao Mengde enter the court as an official, the other party would not dare to disobey the order, otherwise he would definitely become the target of public criticism, so he waved at Xun Yu He waved his hand: "Even if the Marquis sends troops, the war can be resolved within one month at most. Now General Taishi's camp has two months' worth of food, which is more than enough to destroy Cao Mengde."
