A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 213

Zhanlu was a little surprised. With his master's plan, he took over the city without spending much effort to take over the yamen and the government. Isn't that just opening the way, but not completely occupying it?Now that he has decided to attack Zhao, why should he give up the cities along this road in vain?

I kept this doubt in my heart and didn't dare to ask it out. Anyway, the master has his reasons for doing things, maybe he didn't understand it.Zhanlu sighed, and was about to go out to see the collection of grain and grass, but Shen Zaiye said: "Follow me to see Empress Lu."

"……Yes."

Empress Lv of Zhao State held the power, but she was arrested and imprisoned for a few days. She was just an ordinary panicked woman.Being tortured by Xu Yangui for the method of medicine, Empress Lu was very embarrassed, but she was very smart, and tried to fool her by uttering a few fake prescriptions.

However, Xu Yangui was not stupid, he asked the imperial doctor to study the antidote before, although he could not name all the medicinal ingredients, he still listed several.If the prescription written by this woman does not match, it is probably a fake.

"Your Majesty is really stubborn." Xu Yangui squinted her eyes: "It's all up to this point, and you still refuse to tell the truth, do you want to live?"

Sitting in the cage with disheveled hair, Empress Lu sneered, "Isn't it true that I can't survive if I tell you? If you can kill me directly, then two more people will be buried with me!"

"Two people?" Shen Zaiye came in from the outside, stood with his hands behind his back, and frowned at Empress Lu: "Who else is there besides Jiang Taohua?"

Empress Lu lived in the deep palace for a long time, so naturally she didn't know who they were, but when she saw Shen Zaiye's handsome appearance, with a gentle and refined air, she couldn't help but relax her guard, looked at him and said: "This palace promised others I can’t say it, but if you ask me, I might be willing to tell you.”

Shen Zaiye narrowed his eyes, Xu Yangui laughed loudly: "It is rumored that Empress Zhao Guolu is very romantic and addicted to male sex, it is true."

But it's really courageous to dare to tease Shen Zaye's head!
With a cold snort, Shen Zaiye walked two steps closer to the cage, looked down at her and said, "It's okay for the empress not to say anything."

"What?" Empress Lu was startled, and stepped back: "Don't scare people, I just don't say a name, you can still kill me? Unless you don't want the antidote anymore!"

"Why kill you?" With a slight smile, Shen Zaye opened the cage, pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, looked at her tenderly, and said, "Before you write the prescription, you can live well, but look You don't seem to want to live a good life. It doesn't matter if your hair and eyebrows are gone, right? Anyway, it won't hurt your life."

Empress Lu: "..."

How important hair and eyebrows are to a woman!She is not going to escape into Buddhism, what is it like to lose her hair and eyebrows?It would be better to kill her with one knife!

"You...you stop!" Seeing that the dagger really came over, and cut off a large section of her hair without saying a word, Empress Lu screamed, completely panicked: "Ben Gong said, Ben Gong said that's all." The other one is Jiang Changjue, who has also been poisoned!"

Shocked slightly, Shen Zaiye was so furious that he reached out and put the dagger on her neck: "When did it happen?"

Frightened half to death by his murderous aura, Empress Lu trembled and said, "Not long ago, Jiang Taohua didn't know, but her master knew..."

Damn it, what Jiang Taohua loves the most is her younger brother, what if she finds out?Shen Zaiye pursed his lips, looked at her coldly and said, "Write out the antidote immediately, or I don't mind turning you into a human pig, leaving only your hands and mouth, and destroying everything else. "

Lu was dumbfounded. If she said that there was no antidote at this time, would she be killed immediately?
"Bengong... I just write it down."

This person is even more frightening than that person just now, and the aura all over his body makes people feel shuddering. Although she doesn't know who he is, she has an intuition that offending such a person must not end well.

They should have half a prescription in their hands, so they can know that what she just wrote is fake.Empress Lv gritted her teeth, looked at the pen and paper sent up, thought carefully about the usual prescriptions for suppressing Gu poison, picked out the medicines that were easy to find, and wrote them down, and then messed up the medicines that ordinary doctors couldn't find out, Write less and blindly key, and then hand it to him carefully.

"I personally make this antidote every time." Empress Lu said, "Even if you have a prescription, you have to keep me to prepare it, otherwise it may not be possible to cure it."

Shen Zaiye took a look at the prescription and handed it to Xu Yangui. Xu Yangui compared it and nodded: "It should be this."

"Where's the final antidote?" Shen Zaiye asked.

Empress Lu was taken aback, and casually touched her body, and took out a small bottle: "...here."

There is no ultimate antidote to Gu poison, so let's put something on it first, so as not to anger these people.

Both Shen Zaiye and Xu Yangui didn't understand Gu poison, and then looked at the antidote, thinking that anyway, Empress Lu was still locked up here, so it would be fine, so they let her go for the time being, so that it would be easy to guard.

"I don't understand." Looking at them, Empress Lu frowned and said, "What's so good about Jiang Taohua that you all protect her like this?"

Shen Zaye paused: "They? Who else?"

"Of course it's Qianbaimei and Emperor Wei." Turning her head to listen to the movement of the weapons and armor outside, Empress Lu narrowed her eyes: "Could you be also from Emperor Wei?"

With a cold snort, Shen Zaiye opened the curtain and went out.Xu Yangui followed behind him, holding the antidote in his hand, and said, "I don't know why, but she gave it so easily, but I feel uneasy."

"Then try to find another way to ask." Shen Zaiye said displeasedly: "Your Master Xu is capable, but you still can't ask such a thing. Are you afraid of smashing the signboard of Yan Guimen?"

Slightly taken aback, Xu Yangui looked at him inexplicably: "Who messed with you again?"

Shen Zaiye didn't say a word, he raised his foot and walked forward.

He sent a message to Mu Wuxia, asking him to join forces with him to attack Zhao's capital, but the child refused and withdrew his troops for thirty miles.He couldn't figure out the reason at first, but who would have thought it was because of Jiang Taohua again.

He also wanted to know the answer to the question that Empress Lu asked. How could this woman, He De, let so many people worry about her?
The army approached the capital all the way, and the civil and military officials in the capital were arguing fiercely. Someone advocated that Jiang Changjue should succeed to the throne. After all, the military power was in his hands, and he was the only prince. The emperor was paralyzed in bed, the queen disappeared, and the eldest princess died tragically.Under such circumstances, isn't the third prince the only one who can hold up the situation?
Some people disagreed, denouncing Jiang Changjue and others as murderers who murdered the royal siblings. Such virtues are not enough to be emperors.

Taohua let them quarrel, and only invited Dr. Yushi and Lai Shiqing out for tea.

"There is no need to talk about the second princess." Lai Shiqing said: "I will not agree with the third prince's succession."

Unhurriedly pouring tea for them, Tao Hua smiled and said, "Why do you need to speak in such a hurry? Should you listen to what I want to say?"

The two glanced at each other, and Lai Shiqing said, "Princess, please tell me."

"The current situation in the court is in chaos, and the two of you insist on not allowing Chang Jue to take the throne, just because you think that after he takes the throne, he will wipe out the former Empress Lu's party." Taohua smiled: "But if Chang Jue doesn't guard the capital now, you It may be even more difficult for the two families to survive the war."

Slightly taken aback, Lai Shiqing frowned: "Why should the princess scare the ministers? Didn't the second prince already prepare food and arrange troops to defend the city?"

"He arranged it because he is from Zhao country, so he should protect his mother country anyway." Taohua said: "But you two can't take it for granted. Everyone has self-interest, if Chang Jue can't continue If he is not in the position, then his fight is meaningless, and when the army of the Wei State approaches the city, what he does may not be defending the city, but opening the city gate."

"..." The two old ministers frowned, Fan Yushi said: "The second prince has a pure nature, he is not such a person."

"If Chunliang has to let everyone take him as a shield without giving him what belongs to him, then I would rather teach him to be a bad person." Taohua smiled: "A good person in the world, anyway There will be no good rewards. Doing good deeds is a matter of course, and doing bad deeds is heinous. It is not as good as being a bad person. Occasionally do a good deed, and you will be praised as kind. Do you think so?"

Fan Yushi was silent, Lai Shiqing pursed his lips and said, "What good is it to him to open the city gate? The second prince doesn't need to be charged as a traitor."

"I married into Great Wei, and I have a good relationship with the emperor and prime minister of Great Wei, like a family." Taohua said: "Now Great Wei has the heart to accept Zhao Guo as a vassal state, thinking about Zhao Guo will not suffer, Just be a real family and save the people from wars. And the lord of this country will definitely be Chang Jue, why not do it?"

The implication is that if you don't let Chang Jue ascend the throne, after Zhao Guo becomes a vassal state, he will still be the lord of the country, and he will still not make it easy for you.

Lai Shiqing frowned, took a deep look at Peach Blossom, and said, "I never imagined that the second princess who used to do laundry under the palace wall would have such captivating abilities now."

"Sorry, I'm just a woman." Sensing the looseness in their tone, Taohua stretched out her hand and handed over two volumes: "These are two imperial decrees without a jade seal. If Chang Jue ascends the throne, the jade seal will be sealed , How about you two?"

Lai Shiqing and Fan Yushi paused and took a look.It turned out to be a series of rewards, allowing the two of them to be titled titles, hereditary wealth.

"This……"

"Chang Jue is a child who knows how to repay his kindness." Tao Hua said seriously: "If the two of you are capable of overcoming all opinions and supporting him as the throne, then he will naturally be grateful to the two of you and rely more on him. If the two of you are unwilling to do If the hero of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, then I can find someone else."

After all, people care about their own interests. With such generous conditions and no other way out, the two old stubborns are finally tempted.
