Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Hearing the news brought by Dai Quan, Emperor Yongjia immediately rushed to visit the Supreme Emperor, and then shut himself in the house, heartbroken, not allowing anyone to disturb him, saying that he would chant scriptures to pray for the Supreme Emperor. His clan came to the palace.

Dai Quan agreed to go on, and when he turned around, he inadvertently glanced sideways, but caught a glimpse of the joyful smile in Emperor Yongjia's eyes, but his face showed a cold expression.He suddenly trembled, quickly lowered his head, and quickly exited the room, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.

The important ministers and clan members came quickly, and they all went to visit the Supreme Emperor with the permission of Emperor Yongjia. Everyone knew that it was very irritating to the Supreme Emperor that his trusted Zhen family was raided mercilessly by Emperor Yongjia. One thing, coupled with the advanced age, there will be something wrong with the body.But it is very legitimate to question the Zhen family, and they have all reached a consensus and expressed their approval. Therefore, everyone can only pretend not to know the Taishang Huang who is on the sick bed and glaring at Emperor Yongjia. Its meaning is to diligently express the care and sorrow for the Taishanghuang's illness, while avoiding the Taishanghuang's hopeful eyes on them.

Concubine Zhen was waiting on the sidelines, crying all over the place, the Emperor Dao Tai was always in good health, why did he suddenly become so seriously ill?The meaning inside and outside the words all point directly to Emperor Yongjia, begging the courtiers to be the masters and find out the truth for the old master.She understood that without the support of the Supreme Emperor at this time, she would be a piece of meat on Emperor Yongjia's chopping board.Even if he can save himself, what about his son, the Zhen family?Only by putting all his eggs in one basket and connecting Taishanghuang's stroke with Emperor Yongjia can he have a chance of turning over.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and they screamed in their hearts that it was not good. How did they let themselves come across such an important palace secret?This is too bad, the emperor, the emperor, this son harmed his father?The emperor will not kill people to silence him, will he?

Emperor Yongjia listened to Concubine Zhen's cry, but remained calm, his tone was still calm, and he took the initiative to say that since this is the case, everyone happened to be there, so why not call the judge of the Imperial Hospital to inquire, so as to find out.

This matter was no small matter, it involved the innocence of the emperor, everyone dared not neglect, they all listened solemnly to the summoned Korean court to explain the illness of the Supreme Emperor.Han Yuanjuan was hesitant at first, with a heavy face and a trace of fear, as if he dared not tell the truth.

There seems to be something tricky in this?Everyone couldn't help being frightened, and couldn't help but think that the Supreme Emperor showed up at the palace banquet a few days ago, and he was indeed rosy and in good spirits.If the Taishanghuang's stroke was serious and it was caused by Emperor Yongjia, then even if he is the emperor, with the crime of killing his father and the king added to his body, the throne will not be secure.But didn't Emperor Yongjia think that Concubine Zhen would fight back with this, and even casually summoned them here?

Seeing this, Concubine Zhen deeply felt that she had caught Emperor Yongjia's deadly handle, she showed both kindness and power, and repeatedly urged the court judge to tell the truth. The chief culprit who killed the Supreme Emperor.The Supreme Emperor also glared at the Emperor angrily on the bed, and signaled everyone with his eyes, showing his support for Concubine Zhen, and he must take revenge.Nizi, you have harmed me, and I will definitely ruin your reputation and make you unstable on the throne!If I had known today, I should have insisted on handing over the throne to Duke Zhongxiao, the son of Concubine Zhen, and regretted it!

Everyone was held up to the south wall by Concubine Zhen's actions, and looked at each other, all beating in their hearts, showing wry smiles, and helplessly asked the court judge to speak out quickly, not to hide it.

"Han Court Judgment, you just have to speak out boldly!" Concubine Zhen said loudly: "So many grown-ups are watching and listening, the ancestors are above all, no matter who harms the Supreme Emperor, they cannot escape the laws and ethics of the country! "

The Han court judge looked at Concubine Zhen straightly, and sighed: "My lords, it is so!"

"What? What nonsense!" Concubine Zhen screamed, "You traitor, you dare to frame me, who ordered you?"

After she regained her composure, Concubine Zhen cried out to the Supreme Emperor and everyone: "Why did I want to harm the Supreme Emperor? He is the heaven of our mother, mother and son. We have received the favor of the Supreme Emperor, and we all rely on the Supreme Emperor to live, so that we can honor and be safe. Now To be slandered like this, adults, please think about it, is this reasonable?"

"Your Majesty, get up and say something, my concubine is going to be forced to death!" Dowager Zhen wailed loudly, feeling extremely terrified.Once she is accused of such a crime, even if she is the honorable concubine, she will not be able to escape death!No, it must not be true!

"Taifei empress," Han Yuan judge sighed, "that day, when the Supreme Emperor was obsessed with alchemy, the minister tried to persuade him that the raw materials of this elixir would mostly use cinnabar, realgar and the like, which contained some Bad stuff. In a short period of time, it does have the effect of boosting the spirit and looks radiant. But if it is taken for a long time, it will be very harmful to the body. For example, during the Jin Dynasty, many celebrities liked to take "Wu Shi San". Insanity, absurd behavior, and no longevity. Helpless," he said with a wry smile: "The emperor and the concubine are unwilling to listen, but instead reprimanded the ministers for vegetarian meals, jealous of virtuous and capable, and said: those who serve gold live as long as gold, and those who serve jade live as long as gold." Yu! The Taoists are also taking pills themselves, so it’s not all right!"

"The minister had no choice but to try his best to prescribe some warming and detoxifying medicines for the Supreme Emperor, and to treat the Supreme Emperor with medicinal diet every day, so it didn't show up for a while. This time, perhaps the Supreme Emperor heard about the Zhen family, was heartbroken, and was stimulated. ....." As he said that, Han Yuan judge looked a little confused: "But even so, it shouldn't be so serious? I really don't know why. Diagnose the pulse of peace."

"The Supreme Emperor's Tai Chi Palace has always been independent of the Six Palaces. It is inconvenient for me and the Empress to interfere in the affairs of the Tai Chi Palace. The affairs of the Tai Chi Palace are all handled by Concubine Zhen." After hearing this, Emperor Yongjia asked coldly: "Mrs. Zhen Concubine, I ask you, where did the Taoist priests who make alchemy come from?"

"This, this..." Dowager Zhen hesitated and couldn't answer.These Taoist priests were able to enter the palace and the eyes of the Supreme Emperor only after following her way.These are not secrets in the palace, and she cannot hide them.

When everyone saw this, they naturally understood in their hearts. If this is the case, Concubine Zhen will be unable to escape the responsibility of negligence. What a serious crime that is!

"Is there any evidence for the statement of the Han Court?" Concubine Zhen protested sharply: "Daoist priests have always taken elixir, and they have a long-lived spirit and a lot of youthful hair. Why don't you see any problems with them? Just based on your family's words, Do you want to frame me?"

Han Yuan judge shook his head and said: "It's okay to take a small amount. Those high Taoists are very measured. I'm afraid that in order to show the effect, the Taoist priests who concocted alchemy for the Supreme Emperor are eager for quick success and instant benefit. In the formula of the elixir, the amount will increase How about the specifics, you have to wait until you get the elixir before making a judgment. Furthermore, high-level Taoists tend to be pure-hearted, eat more fruits and vegetables on weekdays, and drink pure spring water, which is not contaminated with meat, and can also dissolve the elixir. The impurities are toxic. Taishanghuanghe" He didn't say any more, but everyone understood the meaning.

"Since Concubine Zhen thinks that the family's words are not reliable, come here and call all the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital for diagnosis. Dai Quan, you and the clan order, immediately go and take down the Taoist priests of Taiji Palace. All the medicines have been collected, and then the abbots of the orthodox Daoist Temple in Beijing will be invited to inspect and judge." Emperor Yongjia said to the crowd: "Your family can also recommend trustworthy Gaoming doctors and Taoist priests, everyone will look at it together. Why did the Supreme Emperor become seriously ill?"

Emperor Yongjia's approach was very frank, and Concubine Zhen had no reason to resist.The matter quickly spread throughout the government and the public, and everyone who heard it was shocked.There were also some people in the clan who did not deal with Emperor Yongjia, fearing that there were ghosts among them, they instigated the clan to invite famous doctors who were well-known among the people, and the high priests also came.Under the supervision of each other, everyone analyzed and studied the reason why the Supreme Emperor suddenly became seriously ill.

After tossing and tossing for more than a month, I finally came to a result that was recognized by everyone and was convincing, that is, the Supreme Emperor had a stroke and fell ill after taking these elixirs.In order to please the Supreme Emperor, those Taoist priests were so bold that they increased the amount of raw materials for alchemy without authorization, and the effect was expected to be immediate.And the Taishanghuang's diet has always been extravagant, every meal has all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, the taste is strong, and he eats less fruits and vegetables, so naturally he can't digest the pills like those high-ranking ones.

What is even more astonishing and embarrassing is that during this period, the Supreme Emperor also took some medicines that are not well understood by others. .According to the confession of the eunuch who served the Supreme Emperor, the drug was very effective. Concubine Zhen got it from nowhere and dedicated it to the Supreme Empress. The effect made the Supreme Emperor very satisfied.A few days ago, the Supreme Emperor had been taking it all the time. With the help of these medicines, there were many lucky people in the palace every day. He was very happy, and he even rewarded Concubine Zhen for it.

The imperial physicians checked these medicines and found that the ingredients in them were very strong, otherwise they wouldn't have such a strong effect.And these medicinal materials conflicted with the elixirs refined by the Taoist priests, which made things worse, harming the body of the Supreme Emperor and consuming his vitality and spirit.The imperial physicians all said that if it wasn't because they were excited by the news of the Zhen family, they would have dispersed early, and after the toxins in the body had settled deeper, by that time, sudden death would have been possible!Isn’t that the Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty, the one who died after taking too much meth?

After knowing the result, all the courtiers and clan members felt extremely embarrassed.If this result is spread, it will be too ugly. Not to mention the ruined reputation of the Supreme Emperor I, the court and the royal family will also lose face, and even make the neighboring countries a joke. In this way, where is the majesty of the Shang Kingdom? ?

As a result, everyone tacitly agreed and quickly reached a consensus.They all went up and said that the reason why the Supreme Emperor had a stroke and was paralyzed on the sick bed was all due to Concubine Zhen's lack of service, and because of selfishness, the Supreme Emperor was given medicines of unknown origin.And Concubine Zhen is charming and seductive, and has been controlling the harem all year round. She has evil intentions and committed a heinous crime. She should be deposed as a commoner and given death!

Emperor Yongjia couldn't bear it because Concubine Zhen served the Supreme Emperor for many years and gave birth to a prince.But the ministers insisted, so in desperation, they decreed to give Zhen Taifei white silk and poisoned wine, and decided to tell the Supreme Emperor himself.
