Emperor Yao yawned tiredly before going to court early in the morning, and asked Wei Heyan to help him get dressed. After going to court, he ordered Shen Panxing to arrange the official position of the new Jinshi as soon as possible, and to fill the vacancies vacated in the capital a few years ago as soon as possible.
It was the time of spring sleepiness, and the originally lifeless court suddenly began to boil. After retreating from the court, Shen Panxing and all the officials from the Ministry of Personnel were surrounded.
Si Yiluo was about to go to the Yamen, but was stopped by Si Hai.
"Master Si, the emperor has ordered you to go to the imperial study room to discuss matters."
Si Yiluo turned around and asked, "Is there anything special?"
Si Hai couldn't explain clearly, so he stooped and replied: "I don't know, but the emperor's face is a little ugly."
Si Hai pushed open the door of the imperial study. Emperor Yao's eyes were heavily blue, which showed that he had not had a good rest last night. Seeing her, Emperor Yao leaned back on his chair and pointed at Wei Heyan.
She looked along and Wei Heyan said: "The emperor wants you to check the background of each prince. There have been many rumors in the capital recently, which makes the emperor very dissatisfied."
Speaking of this, Si Yiluo naturally knew that Emperor Yao was already suspicious. It was true that Zhou Yu wanted to marry Chang Jinchan. Emperor Yao was aware of all his little tricks.
But to the extent that it has spread to everyone, it is not necessarily his fault alone.
Having the ability to create public opinion directly threatened the imperial power... Emperor Yao was dissatisfied.
This was a thankless job, but Si Yiluo had no choice but to accept it. It was not difficult for her to handle.
The people below were monitoring every move of the princes. Si Yiluo returned to the Yamen and asked Miao Cong to sort out the information about the princes. She took a look at it first. At this glance, she discovered the problem. Such a small thing, everyone actually The princes all participated.
Shen Moran's actions were not deliberately concealed, and it was easy to find Prince Zhan's Mansion.
She wanted to get involved through this.
Si Yiluo deleted the useless information and sorted out the information himself. In the evening of that day, the two folders appeared on Yao Di's desk at the same time.
Emperor Yao originally announced that Shu Meiren would be at his bedside, but when he saw the information, his thoughts changed, and he waved his hand, and Wan Zhong blocked Shu Meiren from the palace.
Wan Zhong didn't know whether Emperor Yao would continue to summon Shu Meiren later, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he asked Shu Meiren to stand outside and wait.
Emperor Yao read the information in one glance and slapped his palm on the table angrily.
"I'm not dead yet!"
Opening another copy, Wei Heyan's investigation was more detailed than the one submitted by Zhi Si Yiluo, but there was not much difference.
The things found out by the two people were similar, so it can be seen that the news is true.
What are the princes down there doing? Forming gangs, framing and colluding, directing and acting on their own... There is a record of Si Yiluo's pursuit of Zhou Rong's assassination. There is no conclusion and only the facts are stated.
A month had passed since the corpse was placed in Yizhuang. When the public had forgotten about the case, someone went to claim the body and followed the clues to investigate. It turned out that the assassin of Zhou Rong was a distant relative of the slave of Prince Rong's palace!
The assassination was directed and acted by Zhou Rong, which made everyone think that he was the perpetrator, and also made him doubt Zhou Chen!
Among all the princes, Zhou Chang, the most inconspicuous one, actually had a huge fortune and secretly formed a caravan to go out to sea for smuggling in order to win people's hearts...
In addition to scheming against his brothers, Zhou Chen also sought out flowers, blatantly raised a singer in his house, and lived an extremely luxurious life. In addition, he also colluded with courtiers...
Zhou Yun actually did things like abducting and selling women, opening a brothel and setting up a casino...
Emperor Yao covered his heart and felt that his breathing was not smooth. Looking further, Zhou Yu was fine. Apart from wooing his officials in private and leaking the test questions, there was nothing else... No, he used public opinion to force him to grant a marriage.
That’s what’s so heartbreaking!
Zhou Xian passed away and lived in seclusion in the fiefdom, but no bad news came.
Zhou Zhan...why did he get involved? Could it be that he wanted to facilitate this marriage?
None of the sons were worried. Emperor Yao dropped the tea cup again. Wan Zhong rushed in hurriedly. When he saw Shu Meiren coming in behind him, Emperor Yao grabbed the fold and threw it on her body.
She is a singer raised by Zhou Yu's family. My son gives me a woman?
"Get out!"
After all, Emperor Yao was no longer young, and he favored Shu Meiren one after another. Without even mentioning her, his vision went dark and he fainted.
There are also ingredients added to the fragrant powder used by Shumei people. Wei Heyan wrote this very clearly in the booklet. He even found out the source of the fragrant powder, and also found out the signature and stamped confession of the person who made the fragrant powder.
In the past, he only thought that the spices used by Shumei people were special, but he didn't expect that...he couldn't get enough of it.
Before Wei Heyan left the palace, he got the news and hurriedly invited Chief Liu to come over. Chief Liu pricked a few needles into Emperor Yao, and Emperor Yao woke up slowly. He opened his eyes and saw the beauty kneeling in front of the bed tremblingly.
The first thing is to ask Wan Zhong to bring the spices used by Shu Meiren and let Chief Liu inspect them in person.
President Liu took it, put it under his nose and smelled it, then twisted some with his fingers and put it on the tip of his tongue to taste.
"Back to the emperor, the fragrant powder uses ylang-ylang, cnidium, and other aphrodisiac spices. In order to cover up the smell, cardamom, agarwood, acacia and other spices are added. This kind of fragrant powder can be used occasionally to increase pleasure. If used for a long time,
Using... will drain a man's essence."
Emperor Yao's face was as dark as the sky outside. He pointed at Shu Meiren who was kneeling on the ground and waved his hand outward.
"Death, I'll die tonight! Don't use Bai Ling, just pour poison that will break your liver and intestines, and let her die tomorrow morning!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Shu Meiren knelt down and walked to the bed, "Your Majesty, I don't know. I don't know that there are aphrodisiacs in the spices. These things were given to me by others! Someone wants to frame me!"
Emperor Yao closed his eyes and didn't want to look at her. As soon as she came closer, the unpleasant fragrance spread all over his head and face and entered his nostrils. Wei Heyan covered his mouth and nose with his handkerchief and ordered: "Why are you still standing there? Drag Shu Meiren down!"
"Your Majesty -" the beauty neighed sharply, "One day is a blessing for a hundred days, Your Majesty, don't you remember Ashu's kindness?"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
The shrill scream gradually faded away.
Emperor Yao suddenly started coughing, and as he coughed, he suddenly coughed up a pool of black blood.
At this moment, everyone present was panicked. President Liu stepped forward to feel his pulse, took out a silver needle and pricked several large points on Emperor Yao's chest.
"Your Majesty, when I checked your pulse these days, I always felt that your Qi and blood were stagnant, and I couldn't find the reason. Now I discovered that it was these spices that were causing the problem."
"Fortunately, it was discovered early. Your health is not serious. You only need to replenish the lost essence and you will be back to normal. I will prescribe medicine right now."
Emperor Yao felt that the world was spinning and he was very tired. He lay down with a sigh and fell asleep within two words.
When Liu Yuan first prepared the prescription, Wei Heyan took it and handed it to the chamberlain beside him.
"Thank you, Chief Liu. I will go with you to get the medicine, please."
"I don't want to take it. Please ask the governor."
The two of them walked out of the palace one after another. Wei Heyan asked: "Prince Liu, is the emperor really okay?"
Shu Mei people don’t use aphrodisiacs every day or two anymore. Even if Emperor Yao is in good health, he will have his fiftieth birthday this autumn. Even a young man can’t bear to summon Shu Mei people to his bed every day like a young boy.
live.
Chief Liu's face looked solemn, Wei Heyan was a close relative of Emperor Yao, and Emperor Yao's illness required the dedicated attention of those around him.
"Aphrodisiacs consume essence. The emperor has lost a lot of energy. If he wants to recover as before, he needs to rest peacefully for three to five months. However, the government is busy with government affairs and the crown prince has not yet been established..."
The doctor only had patients in his eyes. President Liu knew he had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "I am not talking about the affairs of the government, but the emperor needs to rest in peace and recuperate. If there is no one in the government to share the burden, it may not be so easy to take care of him."
"Just now, I saw that the emperor was in a bad state and didn't dare to tell the truth. I asked the governor to give me a few nice words and give him some advice..."
