Chapter 218 Lin Zhuangyuan went straight into the purple robe, the imperial envoy
Lin Yi stood up.
Go to the door and open it.
He shouted loudly to the outside: "Xuan, Taoist priest Zhao Lingji enters the hall."
Zhao Lingji, wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe, led his two apprentices, dragging the white jade box with one hand and picking up the Taoist robe with the other and walked quickly into the palace.
When he came to Song Huizong, he bowed and saluted with a smile on his face, "Meet Yuqing leader Wei Daojun Emperor. Xiaodao was blessed by nature. It took a year and two months to finally develop a furnace of golden elixirs, nine in total, nine for
The extreme number predicts that I, the Nine-Fifth Emperor, should enjoy this furnace of golden elixir."
As he spoke, he picked up the white jade box with both hands and raised it above his head.
"Here is the golden elixir, dedicated to Your Majesty."
Song Huizong showed an excited expression, "Well, well, well, after waiting for two years, the golden elixir is finally refined. After I take it, I will be rewarded heavily."
After saying that, he stood up and personally took the white jade box and opened it. Inside the jade box were nine colorful pills the size of glass beads.
Looking at the color, Lin Yi knew that the heavy metal content must be extremely high.
It is indeed a golden elixir.
Metallic gold.
"Show me the royal garden pavilion. I want to take the elixir there." Song Huizong ordered.
The eunuchs immediately prepared.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty personally held the jade box and came to the pavilion by the lake in the Imperial Garden surrounded by people.
There are blue waves of lotus leaves in the distance, a gentle breeze nearby, and light gauze curtains hung around the pavilion, swaying gently in the wind. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty is sitting in the pavilion wearing a Taoist robe, which indeed feels a bit fairy-like.
Open the jade box.
After taking another look at the golden elixir, Song Huizong asked Zhao Lingji: "How to take it?"
"Go back to the official's house and take it with warm water." Zhao Lingji said with a smile.
Song Huizong nodded, took the Ru kiln tea bowl handed over by the eunuch, dropped a golden elixir into his mouth, and poured it down with warm water.
Then he closed his eyes and began to sit up cross-legged and meditate.
Everyone looked at Song Huizong. The surroundings were extremely quiet. People did not dare to breathe loudly. After a stick of incense passed, suddenly, Song Huizong's face turned red and his whole body began to tremble.
"Your Majesty, is your Majesty okay?"
The eunuch asked Zhao Lingji nervously: "Master Zhao Xian, what's going on, Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Zhao Lingji looked at Song Huizong. He was also beating a drum in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, maybe the medicine is too strong. Your Majesty is at the key point of performing the work, don't disturb him."
Before he finished speaking, Song Huizong suddenly jumped up, shook off Fu Sheng in his hands, and pulled open the purple robe on his body, revealing the underwear underneath.
"Ah, it's so sad, it hurts!"
Everyone around was shocked, and many people were frightened and helpless.
Zhao Lingji also became helpless. In fact, he didn't know what would happen if he ate the pills he made.
Song Huizong shouted and ran forward.
He was very close to the lake, so he ran to the lake in a few steps, and then jumped into the lake suddenly, making everyone around him scream in fright.
At this time Lin Yi shouted:
"Save Your Majesty quickly~!"
After shouting, the first one jumped into the lake.
Song Huizong was struggling in the lake. Lin Yi swam over, hugged Song Huizong's body and dragged him back hard. Only then did the imperial guards and several eunuchs in the distance react and jump into the water one after another. Finally, everyone worked together to drag Song Huizong back.
Get ashore.
But at this time, Song Huizong was already in a coma.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Quickly call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician~!" the leading eunuch roared with all his strength.
Lin Yi looked at Zhao Lingji, who was already dumbfounded, and loudly shouted to the imperial guards around him: "Zhao Lingji is suspected of murdering His Majesty, arrest him."
The guards immediately set out to arrest Zhao Lingji.
at this time,
Zhao Lingji's suspicion was indeed ranked first. Zhao Lingji and his disciples were pushed to the ground, their Taoist crowns were knocked off, and their hair was scattered. There was no trace of the appearance of an immortal master.
Zhao Lingji was so frightened that he could only keep struggling and begging for mercy, "I didn't mean to harm your majesty. I was wronged."
"His Majesty only became like this after taking your elixir. You are still unjust. If your Majesty has any shortcomings, Ling Chi will be the least." The eunuch in charge screamed next to him.
As the eunuchs beside the emperor, they cannot absolve themselves of the blame for anything that happens to the emperor. Now they must find someone to take the blame.
at this time.
Song Huizong suddenly woke up. He looked at Zhao Lingji who was pressed on the ground, then at the surrounding eunuchs, and finally his eyes were fixed on Lin Yi.
He said in a weak voice, "Qing Lin, now I grant you the title of Imperial Envoy. You can take my sword and have the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises. You have full authority to handle this matter and investigate who is trying to murder me."
Then he looked at the commander of the Royal Palace Guards who was kneeling aside, and his tone became more serious, "Zhao Gang, from now on, you have full authority to obey Lin Qing's orders. Now Lin Qing's words are my words. If you violate it, you will be punished."
Rao."
Zhao Gang lay prone on the ground.
"I accept the decree!"
As Song Huizong said, he pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lin Yi tremblingly, "Take this, if you encounter resistance during the investigation, show this to them. Seeing the jade pendant will be like me coming in person."
"It's an official family."
Lin Yi took the jade pendant.
Next to him, Zhao Lingji saw Song Huizong waking up. Knowing that he would be doomed if he didn't speak, he loudly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, your Majesty. There must be something wrong. Let Xiaodao take care of you, and you will be fine."
"Your Majesty, I also refined the elixir according to ancient recipes. It's not my fault."
Song Huizong glanced at Zhao Lingji, then tilted his head and fainted again.
"His Majesty."
"Your Majesty~~~!"
Lin Yi screamed, the eunuch screamed, Zhao Gang, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Zhao Lingji also screamed. They were more cheerful than the toads in the lake. It was so lively.
Lin Yi stood up and loudly ordered the eunuch: "Send His Majesty back to the Palace of Longevity immediately and ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment."
Then he turned to look at the commander of the Imperial Guards, "Zhao Gang, take a good look at Zhao Lingji and the other three, and separate a team of people to immediately arrest everyone in the gym where Zhao Lingji belongs, and seize all items pending investigation."
"In addition, all entrances and exits of the palace are blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Information within the palace is not allowed to be leaked. Anyone who violates the rules will be shot to death."
Zhao Gang immediately responded.
First, Zhao Lingji and his apprentice were taken away and imprisoned. Then, the eunuchs and maids serving in the Royal Garden were gathered together and not allowed to go anywhere. Finally, the palace gate was closed and no one was allowed in or out.
The imperial doctor came and felt Zhao Ji's pulse. He felt that his meridians were messy and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Lin Yi asked anxiously: "Imperial doctor, what's going on with your majesty?"
"Your Majesty's pulse is in confusion. I really can't find out what's wrong." The imperial doctor said that people who are dying are not like this either.
Lin Yi thought for a while and said: "I suspect that His Majesty has been poisoned. First, please prescribe an antidote to His Majesty's poisoning."
"But, I don't know how to detoxify the poison?" The imperial doctor couldn't help it.
"Use a general antidote." Lin Yi shouted.
The imperial doctor trembled with fright, but Weiwei responded and hurried down to get the medicine. Lin Yi took the imperial guards to another place and began to interrogate Zhao Lingji.
His two apprentices were also detained separately for interrogation.
Zhao Lingji was now pale with fright. He had long lost the arrogance of the immortal master in the past. When he saw Lin Yi coming over, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Lin Yi asked him about the elixir. At first, the guy wanted to hide it, but he was so frightened that he confessed everything in just three sentences.
His so-called ability to make elixirs is, at best, refining some elixirs that are similar to strengthening the body, strengthening yang and nourishing the kidneys, but these imperial doctors can also do it, so he came up with the so-called longevity gimmick to deceive people.
In the past, when he was in the arena, he used the slogan that he could refine longevity elixirs, and he created a reputation. He relied on deception. Even if he took his elixirs, it would take decades to increase his lifespan.
be discovered later.
With his ability to talk and deceive people, his reputation grew. Later, Cai You found him and hoped that he would make elixirs for the emperor's official family. Zhao Lingji felt that the time had come for him to become famous, so he followed him.
But Song Huizong's requirements were much higher than those of wealthy businessmen and officials. What Song Huizong wanted was immortality. He asked him if he could make a pill that would give him longevity. Zhao Lingji gritted his teeth and promised that he could make a pill that would give him a lifetime.
of elixirs.
This shows that he has a conscience, he only said sixty years, not a thousand years.
But after he returned, he had a problem, how to make alchemy. Finally, he found a large number of alchemy classics and began to imitate the alchemy mentioned above. During this period, he requested a large amount of medicinal materials from Song Huizong, partly to confuse the public and partly for corruption.
Time passed by a year ago. Song Huizong was pressing hard these days. Zhao Lingji really had no choice but to bite the bullet and refine this furnace of elixir.
In fact, these pills are indeed toxic and contain extremely high levels of heavy metals, but not to the extent that one pill can kill a person.
The previous coma after jumping into the lake was completely staged.
Lin Yi was going to sing a big show, so he had to have a grand opening and catch everyone's attention at once.
As for Zhao Lingji’s two apprentices,
Mikishita couldn't ask for anything more, so he told everything he knew.
Lin Yi asked people to confirm the confession, and then immediately ordered Zhao Gang to lead a large number of Forbidden Army guards to Zhao Lingji's gymnasium, which was now blocked by the Forbidden Army. Lin Yi ordered people to investigate and question the confessions one by one, and found out those who had meritorious service and those who lied were guilty of the same crime.
Immediately, many people came forward to expose what their master Zhao Lingji had done.
In the temple,
A large amount of gold and silver treasures were also found. On the one hand, these were rewards from Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, on the other hand, they were offered by incense devotees, and on the other hand, they were bribed by officials.
That's right,
It's official bribery.
Because Song Huizong believed in Taoist priests and spent much more time with them every day than with ministers, some ministers may not be able to see the emperor for years or even decades.
People know that currying favor with these Taoist priests is easier than currying favor with anyone else, so many people come to them to smoothen their relationship. If there is a chance for them to say a few nice words in front of the emperor, promotion and title will be just around the corner.
Zhao Lingji is also a thoughtful person. He keeps a note. He will write down everyone who has bribed him, including the name and the amount.
This note also came into Lin Yi's hands.
Not counting the treasures in the Taoist temple, there are more than one million in gold and silver. Damn it, being a Taoist priest makes such a lot of money.
Lin Yi glanced through it briefly, with a sneer on his face, and then went into the space.
Not in a hurry,
These accounts will be settled later.
The current empire of the Song Dynasty ostensibly belongs to Song Huizong, but in fact it already belongs to him. These moths are completely destroying his empire by doing this.
Lin Yi didn't stop moving.
After dealing with Zhao Lingji's gym, Zhao Gang was immediately asked to divide his troops into two groups to control Li Shanlei and Yang Daoxuan's gym.
What,
Why do you think Zhao Lingji's matter also involves Li Shanlei and Yang Daoxuan?
Lin Yi said that if there were any, all he had to do was to kill them, and besides, they were not good birds either.
What,
You said Lin Yi was ungrateful and turned his back on others?
No,
It can only be said that it was premeditated.
When Lin Yi paid in installments, he had already arranged for today to happen.
First they came to Li Shanlei's Taoist palace, and soon the imperial guards announced that all the other Taoist priests were there, and their belongings were also there, but Taoist priest Li Shanlei was not there.
Later, a Taoist priest who was close to Li Shanlei was brought for interrogation. The Taoist priest said: "Yesterday, the master said that he was thinking that he was in great danger. If he didn't leave today, he might be jailed and his life would be in danger tomorrow. So he told us to keep an eye on the Taoist temple. Yesterday,
He left Bianjing in a carriage, but the master didn't say where he went."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
I thought that Li Shanlei was the best at criticizing orders. It seemed that he had some skills, and he really escaped the disaster.
Whatever,
Just run away.
What Lin Yi wants is not to kill people. His biggest purpose is to make everyone who is familiar with the original Song Huizong disappear, so that there will be no way to find out the clues in the future.
Of course, to deal with the three Taoist priests,
The main reason was to eliminate the original Taoist influence and put the future development of the court on the right track. After all, the demise of the Song Dynasty was also caused by Song Huizong's excessive worship of Taoism.
It is not very powerful now. In a year or two, a Taoist priest named Lin came to the capital. Song Huizong highly praised him and began to build Taoist temples all over the country. For this reason, he had to increase taxes, waste people and money, and greatly affected the country.
As a result, people everywhere could not survive and had to rebel one after another.
Lin Yi asked the imperial guards to search.
More than one million pounds of property were also found.
Lin Yi took people to Yang Daoxuan's Taoist palace again. Lin Yi was very familiar with this place. In the open space in front of the Taoist temple, Yang Daoxuan and a group of young Taoist priests gathered together. Looking at the imperial guards holding swords, guns, swords and halberds around them, Yang Daoxuan felt sad in his heart.
trembling.
He still doesn't know what happened?
When Yang Daoxuan saw Lin Yi, his eyes immediately flashed with the light of survival.
"Lin Zhuangyuan, this is, why is this, why suddenly the imperial guards came to block the gym. I want to see your majesty."
"Daozhang Yang, come into the hall with me and talk," Lin Yi said.
Yang Daoxuan quickly followed and approached the main hall.
Lin Yi did not play tricks with him, and said: "Taoist Master Zhao Lingji presented a golden elixir to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty almost died of poison after eating it. Now I am ordered to investigate this matter thoroughly as the Imperial Envoy."
Yang Daoxuan was shocked.
"But this matter has nothing to do with me?"
Yang Daoxuan felt that he was wronged.
Lin Yi shook his head, "Zhao Lingji said that he refined elixirs and sold many Taoist books from you, and you also provided him with some elixir recipes and suggestions."
Yang Dao
A few words, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Lin Yi shook his head, "Your Majesty has given an order that all three of you will be killed."
Only then did Yang Daoxuan realize the seriousness of the matter. He was dumbfounded for a moment, then looked at Lin Yi and kept bowing.
"Lin Zhuangyuan, you have to save me, save me!"
Lin Yi remained calm.
Yang Dao
I guarantee with my life that this is absolutely the complete book."
Lin Yi took the book and read it, thinking to himself that this is definitely not the complete version, the system rewards the complete version, but he still put the Coiling Dragon Skill in his sleeve.
He continued to look at Yang Daoxuan without speaking.
Yang Daoxuan looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth, and took out a wooden box from another secret compartment. When he opened it, there was a thick Jiaozi ticket inside.
"Lin Zhuangyuan, here are 300,000 yuan, all given to you."
Lin Yi still didn't speak.
Yang Daoxuan's eyes flashed with anger, thinking that Lin Zhuangyuan was really greedy. Finally, he found a small wooden box from another secret compartment, and when he opened it, there were several house deeds and land deeds inside.
"Lin Zhuangyuan, there are three properties here in Bianjing and the title deeds of two fields, worth about 300,000 yuan."
Lin Yi took Yang Daoxuan to the front yard and ordered the Imperial Guards to arrest him. Yang Daoxuan looked at Lin Yi in surprise, "You, you don't follow martial ethics. I gave you all my property, why don't you let it go?"
I!"
Lin Yi smiled faintly.
"Those are your Majesty's. I will not accept bribes."
Now Song Huizong is Lin Yi's clone, and what belongs to the emperor is actually his, so there is no need for private transactions.
Now you don’t charge money and you can still earn a good reputation.
Lin Yi then ordered the Imperial Guards to search and imprison all the prisoners to wait for processing. As for whether the Taoist priests knew Taoism, killed the Imperial Guards and escaped or did other things, in fact, through contact with Lin Yi, he knew the power of these Taoist priests.
It's not high, it's just that some of his abilities are weird and mysterious. But in a real fight, Yang Daoxuan, who is so successful in cultivation, can't do more than a few moves in his hands.
The series of actions taken by the imperial guards to arrest the three Taoist priests had already alarmed all the civil and military officials in Bianjing.
Although Lin Yi came down to block the news, it was impossible to completely block it. Those who were well-informed would naturally know what happened in the palace. His Majesty was almost poisoned to death by taking drugs, so he issued an arrest warrant for the three immortal masters he most trusted.
Many people understand this.
Another point that has attracted much attention is that the person in charge this time is not Cai Jing, not Gao Qiu, not Cai You, not Wang Fu, not Tong Guan Yang Jianliang Shidao, but Lin Yilin Dongyang, the number one scholar in Jinke.
It is said that His Majesty gave Shang Fang a sword and a jade pendant, and appointed him as the Imperial Envoy to investigate the matter thoroughly. He has the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises, and the Imperial Guards are at their disposal.
Many people are worried about being implicated at home.
As for Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, and Wang Fu, they all felt uncomfortable. His Majesty did not notify them to deal with such a big thing, but instead appointed a newcomer Lin Yi. Could it be that he and others were out of date and no longer popular?
Tiantian becomes Mrs. Niu, a new generation replaces the old one?
And at night,
Another news came from the palace.
The several senior eunuchs who usually served the emperor were all arrested and replaced with a new group of eunuchs. There were seventy or eighty young eunuchs implicated.
this night,
Many people in the capital stayed awake and waited for the latest news from the palace, including Cai Jing, who is nearly 70 years old.
Cai family.
Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Cai You, Cai Ping's father, son, uncle and nephew were together. They ignored the cold tea. Cai You said: "Dad, if we want to find a way to meet the official family, we can't let Lin Yi control everything by himself."
.”
There are rumors that Cai Jing and Cai You have a bad relationship with their father. In fact, they are all staged for others to see. Everyone in the Cai family has official positions. This is just to prevent His Majesty and outsiders from being too afraid.
Cai Yi also agreed with her elder brother's opinion, "Yes, Dad, we can't be with His Majesty at this time. What will outsiders think of our Cai family and father?"
The Cai family narrowed their eyes and said after a long time: "It's good that the Cai family can't be implicated this time. As for the rest, we'll have to worry about it another day."
"Why are we involved in the Cai family? There is no reason?" Cai Yi said in surprise.
Cai Jing glanced at his eldest son and said, "Those three Taoist priests were all recommended to the officials by your elder brother."
Cai You was also stunned.
There was suddenly no sound in the room.
Cai Jing’s guess was correct,
the next day,
News came from the palace that His Majesty has woken up. It is indeed poisoning. Now it has been partially cured. He will need to stay in bed for a while for treatment. It will take about a month to completely eliminate the remaining poison.
It is said that His Majesty woke up,
After listening to Lin Zhuangyuan's report, he issued three imperial edicts.
The first imperial edict was to grant Lin Yi the title of Zhongshu Sheren, lead him as a direct bachelor of Longtuge, walk in front of the emperor, and order him to be the imperial envoy to continue to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Many people were shocked,
Zhongshu Sheren was a member of the fourth rank, and was the secretary beside the emperor who was responsible for drafting imperial edicts. Liang Shicheng, the hidden minister, was the one beside the emperor who wrote imperial edicts.
Normally, the emperor's imperial edicts should be drafted and written by Zhongshushe. Later, Song Huizong felt that he was constrained by civil servants, so he changed it to eunuchs.
In any case, the rights of this Zhongshushe person are very important. He has the right to write imperial edicts for the emperor and participate in the confidential affairs of the court.
As for the direct bachelor of Linglong Tuge, the official title is from the third rank, which is a virtual title, but this third rank has a great use here.
According to the official rules of the Song Dynasty, those from the third rank and above are purple robes, those from the sixth rank and above are scarlet robes, and those above the ninth rank are green robes. Lin Yi was originally a green robe, but now he jumped from the red robe to the purple robe.
Zipao is already an important official in the imperial court.
With this title of direct bachelor of Linglong Tuge, Lin Yi can directly put on the purple robe.
It has only been three or four months since Jinke Jinshi was assigned to work. Some officials may have just arrived at the place where they took office, and the situation has not been clear yet. And Qin Hui's bones are not rotten yet, and Lin Yi has already become an important minister of the imperial court.
He is a third-grade official.
This promotion speed is faster than a rocket.
If Lin Yi's promotion to eight levels in one step was surprising, the other two imperial edicts issued by the emperor were even more shocking.
An imperial edict was issued to revoke Cai You from all his positions.
Cai You, who was originally a third-grade official, suddenly became a commoner.
This is not over yet.
Another imperial edict was sent to Cai Jing's house, reprimanding Cai Jing for his incompetent discipline, which caused Cai You to lead evil ways to murder His Majesty. Cai Jing was ordered to self-examine for three days and be fined half a year's salary.
Cai Jing knelt down to receive the order.
I stayed in the study for three days and three nights without eating or drinking.
Now the entire Bianjing capital knows what happened in the palace, and feels that the changes are dizzying. It's not that they don't understand, it's that the world is changing rapidly.
Is the Cai family about to lose power?
But now they can clearly see that Lin Yilin, the number one scholar, has completely won His Majesty's favor, and is more favored than Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Cai You, Gao Qiu and others.
Many people are eyeing Lin Yi and preparing to curry favor with this senior official.
