Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 299
No matter what Li Congshan and Xu Xuan thought in their hearts, except for the 10 taels of silver and [-] bolts of silk that had been delivered to the third division, the rest of the gifts were offered in court and were already waiting outside the hall. with.

Fifty beauties from the south of the Yangtze River were brought to the main hall, all of them were young beauties with cloudy buns, misty temples, bright eyes and white teeth.Zhao Kuangyin smiled lightly, and said on the spot: "According to my will, these fifty beauties will be distributed to meritorious ministers, Pan Mei, Ye Chen, and Zhao Zan will each have fifteen, and the other five will be sent to Cao Bin's mansion for me. Said that I rewarded him."

Ye Chen and Pan Mei who were present hurried out of the shift and knelt down to thank the Lord Long En.Zhao Zan also led his army to garrison in the original Southern Han Dynasty. Although Cao Bin was detoxified by Ye Chen, his body was injured, and the emperor specially ordered him to stay at home to recuperate.

Zhao Kuangyin's actions made Li Congshan and Xu Xuan's hearts feel awe-inspiring, and they deeply felt that Emperor Song really had the style of a wise emperor. Thinking about the various actions and virtues of their own emperor, they felt even more worried, even a little frustrated.

Xu Xuan also made people present fifteen boxes of gold, fifteen boxes of jade, fifteen boxes of precious stones, and fifteen cages of pearls. Zhao Kuangyin also smiled and accepted all the treasures.On the spot, each left a tenth to the harem, and the rest was handed over to the third division as military expenses.

While the chief and deputy envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty forced smiles, Li Congshan finally presented a jade belt, inlaid with gold and jade, which is extremely gorgeous.

After Xiaohuangmen checked it carefully, he presented it in front of him, Zhao Kuangyin stroked it, and asked suspiciously: "Compared with the treasure just presented, there is no difference between this object, so why present it separately?"

Li Congshan bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, there is another mystery about this thing. Please press the jewel in the buckle and try it."

"Your Majesty, no!" Zhao Pu, Wang Jien, and Ye Chen stopped at the same time, but it was already too late. Zhao Kuangyin took the jade belt and pressed the gold-colored bead worth thousands of gold in the buckle, only to hear a clang, and the jade belt You ran straight, a sharp blade popped out half a foot, and a puff of green smoke suddenly emerged from it. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't react in time, and sucked the green smoke in.

Zhao Kuangyin's complexion changed drastically, and he staggered and fell directly from the dragon chair.

"His Majesty!"

"Escort!"

Dozens of ministers and eunuchs shouted at the same time as their faces changed drastically, and rushed towards Zhao Kuangyin.

Li Congshan and Xu Xuan didn't know what was going on at all, they turned pale with fright and fell to the ground.

At this moment, sixty Southern Han envoys holding fifteen boxes of gold, fifteen boxes of jade, fifteen boxes of precious stones, and fifteen cages of pearls in the hall suddenly scattered the treasures in their hands to the guards rushing to the side. Go, look at that powerful and precise, clearly a master.

In Bang Bang's body, half of the dozens of guards who rushed over immediately screamed and were knocked down to the ground.The other half was also blocked.

Immediately afterwards, a gray ball suddenly appeared in the hands of the two Southern Han envoys, and it hit the ground. With a bang, the ball burst, and a puff of gray smoke enveloped half of the hall, separating the officials from Zhao Kuangyin on the dragon chair. open.I don't know who shouted to be careful that the smoke is poisonous. Several generals who had rushed towards Zhao Kuangyin and almost all the guards instinctively stopped outside the smoke, and some ministers even ran outside in fright.After all, those who would rather die for the emperor are the very few.

The faces of all civil and military officials suddenly became extremely ugly, only Zhao Guangyi's expression fluctuated, and he didn't know what to think.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the gray smoke.A series of screams followed.The smoke gradually dissipated.Everyone looked intently at the corpses lying on the ground where the gray smoke was. Xiangfu Hou Yechen stood among the corpses alone. There was blood on his body, and he didn't know if it was his own blood or the blood of the assassin.But at this time all the assassins had been killed by Ye Ge.

"Get out of the way! Let me detoxify His Majesty." Ye Chen shouted loudly while rushing towards the dragon chair.

Wang Jien, who was in front of Zhao Kuangyin with more than a dozen eunuchs, hesitated for a moment, and Ye Chen's eyes burst into murderous intent, and he shouted: "You want to kill the king, so get out of here."

Shouting in his mouth, Ye Chen has already rushed up regardless, seeing that posture is about to use his body to directly knock those eunuchs into the air.

"Wang Ji'en! Why don't you get out of the way quickly and let Ye Hou detoxify His Majesty." Zhao Pu rushed over with a group of ministers, cursing as he ran.

Wang Jien glanced at Zhao Guangyi quickly, seeing that the latter had no clear instructions, he hesitated for a moment, before Ye Chen bumped into him, he stepped a little, but already dodged to the side, unfortunately the two eunuchs behind him dodged a little later, and were directly caught Ye Chen was hit and flew out, hitting a pillar four or five feet away, spitting blood and dying on the spot.

Zhao Kuangyin was already angry at this time, with black and green aura faintly appearing on his face.Ye Chen took it from an eunuch, lifted him up, let the eunuch next to him support him, put his palm on Zhao Kuangyin's back, and exhaled his true energy into Zhao Kuangyin's body.

The detoxification method he used was the same as when he detoxified Cao Bin in Bazhou.

"Eunuch Zhang, what do you want to do?"

"stop!"

"Bold!"

"Stop him."

An old gray-haired eunuch suddenly came from the side door, quietly approached Ye Chen and Zhao Kuangyin who were surrounded by the crowd, and then slapped Zhao Kuangyin with his palm.

This old eunuch is none other than Zhang Jiye, who is also the head of the palace with Wang Jien.

Zhang Jiye entered the palace as an eunuch at a very young age. He went through the Later Jin Dynasty, Later Han Dynasty, Later Zhou Dynasty, and then the Song Dynasty. He did not know how many members of the royal family he served.No one knows his exact age. At first glance, he looks about 50 years old, but on closer inspection, he seems to be 80 to [-] years old, which is a bit strange.

Zhang Jiye relied on decades of observation skills, cautious and tactful ability to deal with all kinds of affairs in the palace. After a long time, he finally won the appreciation of Zhao Kuangyin. To be precise, he was appreciated by Zhao Kuangyin's dead mother. , so when the queen mother was still alive, Zhang Jiye became the head of the palace.

Although this position is only a rank five, and its rank is not high, it is actually very important.In addition to the guards, all the internal affairs of the palace, such as material supply, meal arrangements, and the daily life of the royal concubines, are under its jurisdiction.It can be said that in the harem is the real position and weight.

At the beginning of the year, it was Zhang Jiye and Mrs. Huarui who secretly planned to collect Lu Duoxun's treasures and belongings, and let Lu Duoxun secretly donate ten thousand crowns to Mingwang Temple, and finally helped Lu Duoxun's daughter become the concubine of Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao.

Obviously, Zhang Jiye is a master of the Maitreya Sect who has been lurking in the Song Palace for many years.

With Zhang Jiye's palm, there was something like wind and thunder, and his inner strength was so deep that it was not weaker than Yu Daoxiang and Ye Chen.

Pan Meinai was a first-class expert, she was the first to react, and with a loud shout, she punched straight out, stopping Zhang Jiye's palm at the last moment.

With a bang, Pan Mei fell straight out, knocking over a group of people, and Zhang Jiye slapped Zhao Kuangyin after a short pause.Dozens of palace guards and eunuchs rushed up from the side, and he slapped them flying like the wind.

"Go to hell!" For a while, no one could stop Zhang Jiye, and Zhao Kuangyin was left with Ye Chen who closed his eyes and detoxified him.Everyone exclaimed loudly, with despair on their faces, only Zhao Guangyi had a trace of unnoticed ecstasy in his strange expression.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, raised his right hand against Zhao Kuangyin's back, and stopped Zhang Jiye's palm.

There was a loud bang, Zhang Jiye's face changed, he screamed, and fell three feet backwards. Although he landed steadily, he spit out a mouthful of blood with a puff, and looked at Ye Chen with disbelief. He didn't expect Ye Chen to fall back. Such a deep heart at such a young age.

At this time, hundreds of guards finally came in from outside the hall and surrounded Zhang Jiye, and another hundred guards firmly protected Zhao Kuangyin and Ye Chen.

On this side, Ye Chen also spewed a big mouthful of blood on Zhao Kuangyin's back, his face turned pale, but his body refused to retreat, and his other hand was always on Zhao Kuangyin's back.

After a stick of incense, when Ye Chen's face became paler and paler, and the civil and military men and women of the court were frightened and at a loss, some people were worried, and some people were inexplicable, the black and green aura on Zhao Kuangyin's face suddenly disappeared, and his body fell apart. He woke up shaking, and at the same time, a black and green aura suddenly appeared on Ye Chen's face, and he fell backwards.

Zhao Kuangyin is also a martial arts practitioner, with a good background, with the support of Zhao Pu and several eunuchs, he stood up and turned to look at Ye Chen.

At this time, Qian Yi, the head of the imperial physician in the palace, finally got the news and rushed over.

Although Zhao Kuangyin was poisoned just now, he was so angry that he didn't even have the strength to speak with his spirit, but he was still awake, so he saw everything that happened just now.

Under Zhao Pu's call, Qian Yi came over to check Zhao Kuangyin's pulse first, and said, "Your Majesty, your body is fine and there is no toxin in your body."

Zhao Kuangyin shouted impatiently: "Then hurry up and look at Ye Chen."

According to the method Ye Chen gave Cao Bin to take drugs with zhenqi last time, the toxin that Ye Chen inhaled into the meridians should soon enter Ye Chen's strange dantian, but just now Ye Chen hastily disregarded the backlash and Zhang Jiye tried his best to fight against it. One slap, but he suffered a serious injury. The efficiency of his dantian to absorb toxins was greatly reduced. The toxins that could be inhaled in an instant were dozens of times slower, and most of the toxins still stayed in his meridians.Fortunately, Ye Chen has a special physique and profound internal strength, otherwise he would have been like Zhao Kuangyin just now, with his qi like a gossamer, the poison would spread all over his body at any time, and he would die from the poison.

Seeing the black and green aura on Ye Chen's face, Qian Yi was startled, and said in a voiceless voice: "This... this is the black centipede poison, and there is no medicine to cure it. You will definitely die within half a stick of incense. My minister... is incompetent and cannot be cured. This poison."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were drenched in cold sweat, terrified.It is not difficult to see that Ye Chen somehow inhaled the toxin from Zhao Kuangyin's body into his own body just now.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Ye Chen completely differently, and he called Ye Chen.Then he rushed over to hold Ye Chen's hand.After recovering, Zhao Pu, Xue Juzheng, Qian Yi and others pulled Zhao Kuangyin tightly, Zhao Pu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this poison is strange and may be contagious. Your Majesty must not touch Ye Chen."
