The eunuch named Chen Jie was obviously frightened. He kowtowed as if pounding garlic and was trembling all over.
Zhu Di was slightly moved. He squinted and glanced at Chen Jie.
Then, his eyes fell on Master Xu again.
Zhang Anshi smiled at this time and said: "Then, if I continue to speculate, the real person must have been prepared after receiving the tip-off from Chen Jie."
"That's why, after he entered the palace, he dealt with it so appropriately. He recognized 'His Royal Highness King Yi' at a glance and saw that His Highness King Yi did not have any illness. If someone who didn't know the details looked at it, he would think that he was serious.
Is there any art of observing qi, or some extraordinary ability to reach the heavens?"
"But in fact, these people's tricks seem mysterious and mysterious, but in fact they are nothing more than that. It's just because he is in the palace and there are people to help him."
Zhang Anshi then smiled again and looked at Master Xu: "When you learned that we entered the palace, were you thinking that we would definitely start with your pill to testify against you?"
Xu Zhenren's face was expressionless, and he just looked at Zhang Anshi coldly. There was no fear in his expression, but the more he tried to force himself to be calm, the more Zhang Anshi had taken reassurance and looked like he was convinced.
Zhang Anshi sighed: "Now that things have happened, what else do you have to say."
Xu Zhenren said: "If you want to impose a crime..."
Before Xu Zhenren finished speaking, Zhang Anshi looked at him mockingly and said, "Want to impose a crime? It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
Xu Zhenren said nothing.
Zhang Anshi then winked at Yi Wang Zhu.
Zhu seemed to be unable to sense Zhang Anshi's tacit understanding, and said blankly: "What do you want me to do?"
Zhang Anshi was helpless and had no choice but to do it himself.
He walked up to the eunuch Chen Jie, kicked him first, and then said angrily: "Now that things have happened, do you want to be so stubborn? You are from the palace, so you naturally know how powerful the factory guards are. Things have reached this point.
, do you want to say it or not?”
This Chen Jie was just like chaff in a sieve, but he didn't say a word.
Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. In fact, I just need to check your recent whereabouts! In addition... search your dormitory again and ask the eunuchs around you, there will naturally be clues.
What's more, since you dare to accept the benefits of this real person, you must be worried about doing such a thing. In all likelihood, there are parents and brothers outside the palace who are relying on you to support them. Just check their recent financial situation.
Everything will be clear based on the status of the silver flow."
"Now, I can't hide anything. If you refuse to admit it until death, it will only make you and your relatives suffer more. It's better to admit it frankly. At least it can give you a happy life. Otherwise, you will not be able to survive or die.
.”
Chen Jie almost fainted.
In fact, he didn't listen to Zhang Anshi's words at all.
But in fact, as long as Zhang Anshi speaks, this deterrence is actually enough.
He howled and said: "Last year... last year at the end of the year... slave... slave's brother lost some money... so he secretly asked someone to send a message to the palace and ask for it from slave. slave... slave's monthly salary is meager.
, and... there was not much money, so I had to borrow money from everywhere... I think... it was because the matter of borrowing the money... was known to others. So... so... someone contacted the slave brother outside the palace and said
Yes...as long as His Majesty's joys and sorrows, as well as His Majesty's daily life, are conveyed to them on time...there will be great benefits! The slaves were also afraid, and at first they refused...thinking that this was some treasonous chaos.
The party... has great courage and dare not join in with them."
Chen Jie paused and continued: "But obviously the other party... also became impatient. It seemed that he was also trying to dispel the slave's worries. Later he told the slave that... it was to convey a message to Master Xu. He said that Master Xu was not there.
There is no evil intention, just to better refine elixirs for His Majesty. The money they gave... was too much, not to mention, they also promised that in the future... they would also find a good job for the slave's brother outside the palace...
It is possible to enter Taoism. Once admitted..."
Chen Jie said: "All of this is just as His Highness said... the servant would pass the message over every once in a while. But today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, King Yi, and the Prince of Wuhu suddenly entered the palace and questioned Zhenren Xu, and the servant was frightened.
, I am afraid that Master Xu will not respond properly and show some flaws. Once something happens to him, the servant will not be able to let go of the relationship. In the past, the slave was very careful and tried his best not to come into contact with Master Xu, even if it was to pass on news.
, and also very cautious. But this time, the matter was urgent, and I really didn’t dare to delay, so I took the courage... took leave, and went to find Master Xu... I... was guilty of ten thousand deaths... I just begged for mercy for my family.
...This slave is willing to be cut into pieces by a thousand swords!"
After saying that, he shed tears and cried endlessly.
Zhu Di was furious at this time.
And Xu Zhenren... his face turned pale.
In fact, his calmness was completely disguised, but now, everything was before his eyes, and the eunuch... had also made it clear that at this point, he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
Yi Shiha sighed in his heart, what he hated was... Chen Jie had a bright future in the palace because he could become a regular attendant. Who would have thought that he could be bribed with some gold and silver.
But Yishiha didn’t know how many eunuchs in the palace were cruelly purged and sent to the palace by their families, hoping to gain wealth. In the palace, with their meager salaries, they walked on thin ice all day long, cautiously
, but even though she was cruelly abandoned by her family, she was still willing to think about her family outside the palace and tried her best to protect the family outside the palace. She even tried her best to save some of her monthly salary and tried every means to send it out of the palace.
The more they are cruelly abandoned by their families, the more they become victims, and the more they enter the palace, the less they can rely on, and the more they hope to get a little comfort from their families.
But in fact...the only value they can provide to their families is to give out gold and silver for charity, or...wait for that glorious day, become eunuchs, and finally one person achieves enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Poor and hateful!
At this time, Zhang Anshi was looking at Xu Zhenren coldly and said: "Now, what can I say?"
Xu Zhenren's face was livid, and he obviously didn't intend to admit it yet.
He tried his best to calmly say: "One family's words cannot be trusted..."
Zhang Anshi smiled: "A eunuch admitted his treason and confessed his crime, but when it came to your mouth, it became the talk of the whole family! Could it be that...he couldn't think of it and had his whole family beheaded just to frame him?
For you?"
In fact, at this time, any excuses are useless.
Xu Zhenren was like a drowning man, unwilling to throw away any life-saving straw, so he asked: "Is this so?"
Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "It seems that you are not as smart as Chen Jie. Chen Jie even knows that when death is imminent, he should give himself a good time. But now, you still think that you can get away with it. Since you can find out Chen Jie
Jie, then... do you believe that Jin Yiwei can't follow the clues and catch all those who have contacted Chen Jie?"
"And the people you come into contact with on a daily basis, as long as they are examined one by one, do you think... there is no other evidence of guilt? Do you really think that you can imitate the alchemists of the past dynasties, deceive the emperor, and then escape unscathed?
But you have obviously forgotten that there have never been factory guards in the past dynasties, but today there are!"
Yi Shiha: "..."
Yi Shiha didn't know whether he should cry or not, saying that Zhang Anshi had not forgotten the word "factory guard" at this time.
Xu Zhenren looked hesitant. In fact, at this point, he could no longer hold on.
Zhang Anshi added: "And your elixir... In fact, it is very easy to test it. It just takes some time. The reason why I don't start with your elixir is not because you are impeccable, but because you want to test it."
It's just to save trouble, are you really sure now...you still want to be so stubborn?"
Zhang Anshi's voice was neither high nor low, but this rhetorical question finally allowed Master Xu to completely break his guard.
His face turned gloomy, and he finally said word by word: "That's right... poor Taoist... poor Taoist..."
He seemed to have mustered up the courage, but what he said next was really difficult for him. In the end, he said obediently: "The poor Taoist... is just... just trying to get a share of glory and wealth."
As soon as this statement came out.
Prince Zhu Gaochi breathed a long sigh of relief.
King Yi was also relieved.
Zhu Di's face became increasingly livid.
At this time, his face was extremely embarrassed.
"Dog thief!" Zhu Di felt that he was being treated as a fool, so he said angrily: "How dare you do this."
Xu Zhenren was no longer able to bow down, and his body was crumbling: "Pindao... Pindao... I am originally from outside the country, but in fact... there are people... there are people..."
"Is there someone there?" Zhang Anshi seemed to have noticed something.
Xu Zhenren said: "Someone actually... found Pindao. He told Pindao that a great fortune was just around the corner. The Taoist temple where Pindao was originally located had been in disrepair for a long time. The gate was already crumbling. I heard that there were
The opportunity to revitalize the mountain gate, so...therefore...promised...then offered the medicine, and then entered the palace..."
After Master Xu finished speaking, he kowtowed and said, "Xiao Dao knows that he will die, so he has nothing to say..."
Zhu Di shouted angrily: "Take it down!"
Just say it, someone walked in quickly from outside and without saying a word, they held Xu Zhenren down and dragged Chen Jie out together.
Zhu Di was furious and said angrily: "It's unreasonable. Damn it! Damn it! The world has changed. Now...the world is full of cheaters."
Seeing that his father was furious and furious, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to say anything for a while.
On the other hand, Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty... pay attention to the dragon body."
But Zhu Di was still furious and said: "I will cut these traitors into pieces with a thousand knives, I will definitely cut them into pieces with a thousand knives..."
Then, Zhu Di suddenly said: "If this Master Xu is fake, then what is the elixir they gave me?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace fell into a deathly silence.
Since the warlock is fake, the medicine must also be fake.
In fact, if this elixir is poison, it is easy to say, after all, there are people who specially test the poison, but if it is a fake medicine, God knows what the hell it is made from!
The most important thing is...this thing...what are the unpredictable consequences?
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, it seems to me... we still need to check something, my side..."
Zhu Di was already furious: "Kill all those involved in this matter. Kill them all for me. No one will be left alive... How can I tolerate these evil beasts who have no king and no father, who bully the king and ignore their superiors?"
As he spoke, he became even more angry, trembling slightly, and began to pace eagerly back and forth in the hall, wanting to bite his teeth into pieces.
Yi Shiha was startled and quickly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty... calm down your anger, Your Majesty, calm down..."
Zhu Di continued to be furious: "I will never spare them... I will never..."
When he said this, he seemed to be in a rage and shook his body suddenly. The frightened eunuchs rushed forward quickly and helped Zhu Di.
There was great chaos in the palace.
At this time, Zhu Di seemed to have fainted.
Zhu Gaochi was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.
Everyone worked hard to carry Zhu Di into the bedroom in the literary building. Zhang Anshi was responsible for diagnosis and treatment. The rest of the people did not dare to disturb him and had to wait anxiously outside.
Zhang Anshi was also a little anxious. If it was the same illness as before, he would have a solution.
But now he was so anxious and anxious, and he didn't know what pills he had taken before, which may have caused lead poisoning. There was nothing he could do about it.
Only then did he remember something. Zhu Di passed away in this year in history!
I thought to myself, could it be that the famous Emperor Yongle will die this year after all?
But the Yongle Emperor in history had no feelings at all. But now facing Zhu Di with his eyes closed in front of him, he couldn't care less.
At this moment, Zhang Anshi was also afraid that the person in front of him would never open his eyes again.
Just when Zhang Anshi was at a loss.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should feel Zhu Di's pulse.
He put his hand into the quilt, and when he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, suddenly... a big hand grabbed Zhang Anshi's wrist like an iron pincer.
Zhang Anshi was caught off guard and was shocked.
These big iron pliers-like hands were so powerful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Zhang Anshi subconsciously wanted to shout.
Lowering his head, he saw Zhu Di lying on the bed under the quilt. His eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were shining. How could his whole body not look as sick as before?
The fatigue on that face seemed to have been swept away in the blink of an eye.
The situation happened so unexpectedly that Zhang Anshi was shocked and immediately wanted to say something.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, was calm and relaxed. He let go of Zhang Anshi's wrist and said, "Okay, don't yell."
Zhang Anshi hurriedly covered his mouth, and then whispered: "Your Majesty...are you...recovered?"
Zhu Di glared at him and said, "What a bird."
This voice is full of energy, and it doesn't sound like a person who is in poor health.
Zhang Anshi finally relaxed at this time, and even teased: "Your Majesty is really in the prime of his life. At such an age, a bird can still..."
"Shut up." Zhu Di glared at him again and said, "Stop gossiping."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhang Anshi sneered quickly, and then frowned and said: "Although Your Majesty seems to have recovered a lot, I am worried... His Majesty has taken so many pills.
The medicine... most likely contains lead, and this thing will cause chronic poisoning. Over time... it will definitely..."
Compared with Zhang Anshi's obvious worry, Zhu Di actually looked very calm and said slowly: "Who said I took that elixir?"
"Ah..." Zhang Anshi was so shocked that he was speechless.
Zhu Di said coldly: "Although I am old, after all, I conquered this world. Have you forgotten that I am surrounded by people like Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong? Speaking of them, they are also magicians. When it comes to pretending to be gods and ghosts,
, I, Master Yao and the Jin Qing family are all the ancestors of this industry. If it weren't for these... how could we have inspired the morale of the Northern Army and conquered the world in one fell swoop? The way of such sorcerers is to fool them.
Ignorance of the military and civilians is just a means, how can someone like me believe it?"
Zhang Anshi: "..."
It sounds very righteous?
Zhu Di continued: "As for the so-called Zhenren Xu, his Taoism is still shallow. With this so-called alchemy skill, he dares to come to the class to do something? Do you really think... I don't know the lessons from the past? Then the First Emperor, and
Don’t I know that throughout the dynasties, the emperors have been bewitched by sorcerers?”
Zhu Di asked back question after sentence, which made Zhang Anshi even more stunned.
He can no longer tell what is true and what is false in this world.
Zhu Di, however, seemed extraordinarily calm. He sat up slowly and said calmly: "I haven't taken a single bite of these medicines. Of course... How can others know whether I have taken them or not?"
Zhang Anshi was shocked and said: "If that's the case, then Your Majesty...why...why..."
Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi speechlessly, and then said: "Hey...you kid, you are too smart, but this time, you ruined my big event. Why do you think I kept this Xu Zhenren! Just because...
...I want to take his elixir, but I have something that I need to verify from Master Xu, but you are so smart that you actually... expose him. Of course, I have to admire you for being able to teach him in the blink of an eye.
There is nothing to hide. The only flaw is... I had to change this scene."
Seeing Zhu Di's regretful look, Zhang Anshi said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhu Di said calmly: "What do I do that I still need to explain to you?"
Okay, there's nothing wrong with this. Zhang Anshi said: "I don't dare."
Zhu Di was too lazy to argue with him about this, and continued: "In any case, it's time for Master Xu to teach him to die without a burial place, and then... he has to change his method."
Zhang Anshi then said: "Your Majesty, can you make it clear so that I will not... be unable to guess the holy will and ruin your Majesty's good deeds?"
Zhu Di squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhang Anshi: "You really want to know?"
