Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Ma Yuanju nodded, and said: "Heroes see the same thing, and Ma also thinks the same way. Now the problem comes. Your Majesty is a wise king. You and I can see things. Your Majesty will see it." not come out?"

"This...maybe His Majesty noticed it, but he was lucky...Your Majesty is only in his 40s this year. If God really opens his eyes and allows him to live to be 90 or 50 years old...in four or fifty years, maybe he will still be able to survive. It's really possible..."

Ma Yuanju smiled and said: "From your tone, I know that you don't really believe what you said. Take a step back and say, even if what you said is really reasonable, there is still a problem that you can't explain."

"what is the problem?"

"Zhongshuling Wei Zheng and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Kong Yingda were forced to resign! Although the two of them love to give advice to His Majesty, their talents are not just a censor. Your Majesty's unification plan requires a large number of Why did you exclude these two loyal ministers and generals?"

"This……"

"The character of the two is well known by the government and the public. As long as this unification plan is implemented, they will do their best to fill in the gaps. Could it be that His Majesty is worried that these two will stumble secretly when the army is going out?"

"This……"

Guo Ye originally thought that he had seen through His Majesty Li Er's thoughts, but after Ma Yuanju's reminder, he realized that there were many inadequacies in his previous thoughts.

Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were able to ascend to such a high position, not only by giving advice to His Majesty Li Er, but also because they have real skills, and it is not an exaggeration to be called the pillars of the country.The grand unification plan needs such talents.

As long as His Majesty Li Er uses a little trick, it will be enough for these two to contribute to his grand unification plan.Why use such a drastic means of dismissal?

Guo Ye asked, "Then what do you think?"

Ma Zhou shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know either. His Majesty's recent decision is like a different person, and he is no longer as wise and powerful as before..."

"It's like a different person?" Guo Ye's heart moved. According to Empress Changsun, His Majesty Li Er's health is not good recently, and the thing under his crotch is becoming more and more useless.Could it be that His Majesty Li Er became mentally abnormal because of this?

No way, even if it is a psychopath, it will only affect the temperament, not the IQ!In fact, the only thing that can affect IQ is... drugs!

Guo Ye's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said: "I understand! I understand! There is only one reason why His Majesty behaved so upside down."

"what reason?"

"He's poisoned!"

"Poisoned? How is that possible? The palace is an important place, heavily guarded, and there are several little eunuchs who test the poison. How could His Majesty be poisoned?"

Chapter 1752 Ziyi can't come out, why is Nai Cangsheng (3)

Guo Ye said: "To be honest, Mr. Guo is not sure whether His Majesty has been poisoned. But this is the only reason that can explain why His Majesty is no longer as wise and powerful as before."

"Where did the poison come from?"

"Brother Ma, do you still remember the sensational case of rebellion by monk Tianfu a few years ago?"

"Of course I remember. Because of this big case, the Supreme Emperor died, and King Cao, King Wei and King Shu also died unexpectedly."

"Just remember it. Then do you know why Monk Tianfu gained His Majesty's trust when his alias was Luo Er Sa Po?"

"Uh... I heard that he cured the empress's incurable disease."

"You only know one thing, not the other. In fact, there is another reason why His Majesty trusts Monk Tianfu so much."

"what reason?"

"That is, monk Tianfu gave His Majesty a lot of elixirs before refining the elixir of immortality. After taking these elixirs, His Majesty felt very effective."

Ma Yuanju said: "You mean...these pills are poisonous?"

"Exactly. These elixirs all contain aphrodisiacs. After taking them, although they can make people feel light and healthy for a short time, they are actually quite toxic and very harmful to the body!"

"That's not right... Even if what you said is true, it has been several years. Your Majesty's change, but since recently, how do you explain this?"

"According to my guess, although the case of Monk Tianfu's treason has been revealed to the world, His Majesty has not stopped taking those pills. Over time, the quantity and quality have changed. It works..."

"No way, Your Majesty knows that Monk Tianfu is not a good person. He will continue to take the pills he gave. Besides, after so many years, even if Monk Tianfu left a batch of pills, he should have already It was eaten by His Majesty."

"Let's talk about the first question first. After taking those pills, I only saw their benefits but not their harm in a short period of time. Your Majesty may not think that there is a problem with those pills. Of course, the most important thing is that even if Your Majesty thinks that those pills No, I'm afraid it's hard to let go..."

"What do you mean by that?"

Guo Ye said: "Furrong is very addictive. After taking it, it can make people feel ecstatic. But if you take it for a long time and stop occasionally, it will make people feel extremely painful and have to continue taking it."

"There is such a harmful thing in the world?"

"That's natural. If brother Yuanju doesn't believe it, I can ask someone to testify."

"who?"

"It's my follower, surnamed Qin Mingying. The master of Jianghu gave him the nickname Bloodsucking Daoist. Do you know how he got this nickname before?"

"Then how do I know?"

"It doesn't matter if I don't know. When I call him, you can ask yourself."

Ma Yuanju said: "Then let's go together!"

Guo Ye smiled wryly, "Brother Ma, don't we even have this bit of trust between us?"

"It's about the stability of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful. Brother Guo, I'm sorry."

……

The two went out together and told Sun Zishan to call Qin Ying over.When Qin Ying came, she told how she got her nickname again.

He said: "Before the villain got rich, he was a wandering Taoist priest. When he met a rich family, he would lure the head of the family to eat pills containing drugs. After taking the addiction, how much these pills are worth is not up to you." They're gone!"

He paused, and continued: "I use addictive pills as bait, so that those wealthy households have to donate a lot of money. Such behavior is like sucking blood, so there is such a Bandits."

Seeing that Ma Yuanju's face was not looking good, Guo Ye hurriedly explained for him: "Later, Qin Ying defected to the imperial court and has completely reformed himself. He even saved the life of Prince Li Chengqian."

Ma Yuanju waved his hand and said, "Now I'm on fire, how can I still care about a small person like Qin Ying? Let him go down."

After Qin Ying left, Ma Yuanju continued, "For the time being, I believe that drugs can make His Majesty want to stop. But after so many years, where did His Majesty get those medicines?"

"Uh... One may be that Monk Tianfu did refine a lot of pills for His Majesty back then, and His Majesty has not finished eating them yet. Another possibility is that His Majesty asked people to analyze the ingredients of the original pills and refine them again. A batch. The third possibility..."

"What is it?"

"The third possibility is also what I am most worried about. The case of Monk Tianfu is full of shady scenes, and it has not been investigated until today. I am afraid that those behind-the-scenes culprits are not dead, and through some channels, they re-dedicated the elixir to His Majesty. "

"Dare they?"

"They have done all the rebellious things, so why dare not?"

"Then they are not afraid that His Majesty will find out what to do and catch them all in one go?"

"Have you ever thought that although this matter is very dangerous, the benefits are also great. As His Majesty's addiction grows, in the end, I'm afraid they will be able to use these pills to blackmail His Majesty. With such huge benefits , a little dangerous, so what?"
