Chapter 346 Test
The official must have been overworked and fell ill, and the disease took advantage of his weakness to invade. There had been signs of this before, and now it has become a consensus.
The illness is not serious, actually. It's just that the official is 27 or 28 years old after all, which is considered middle-aged. He can't do whatever he wants like when he was young. Moreover, he spent half of the past seven or eight years in the military camp, so he is somewhat weak inside. In addition, it is winter now, and the weather is getting colder, so it is a consensus that the illness is gradually receding.
Everyone remained calm, but the one person who should have remained calm was a little panicked.
Yang Yizhong told himself again and again that there was no problem. As the person in charge of intelligence, all his intelligence channels told him that no one had any problems.
The Queen Mother continued to watch the show after not sending the parrot away, and she even came to visit once in the middle. The key point is that the Queen Mother did not have any power to mobilize, and she should not be so smart; there was no problem with Pan Guozhang's use of the medicine. When the prescription was taken out, everyone who saw it said it was appropriate. Even on the second day, Yang Yi Zhong was uncharacteristically and took away control of the medicine in an almost rude and impolite manner... He personally asked the squad leader from other places to go to the medicine warehouse in the south of the city to get the medicine, and then he personally took the medicine from the same jar to test it before the official used it.
The result was that even after drinking the medicine, he would feel sleepy, but it was just normal drowsiness with no other adverse reactions. In other words, the only adverse reaction was Father-in-law Pan's anger towards him.
No problem, no problem for anyone.
At the end of the daily secret cabinet meeting initiated after the emperor fell ill, the ministers would send a eunuch to the palace to greet him. Concubine Pan and Concubine Wu, who was not pregnant yet, would take turns to look after him. Even Emperor Zhao would occasionally communicate normally with others when he was awake... But deep in Yang Yi's heart, there was a fear that came from the bottom of his heart, and it was released continuously!
Just like that, on only the fourth day when the emperor began to get tired, this imperial commander, who ranked first among the 108 commanders of the Song Dynasty, could no longer sit still.
He must use a series of means to give himself a sense of psychological security - because that kind of fear cannot be communicated with others.
However, as a member of the Imperial Guard who is in charge of the Imperial City Bureau, he has to operate on the edge of imperial power, and any action he takes could lead to serious consequences... Therefore, he first needs to find a collaborator who is a prime minister.
There are some things that, if done by others, would be considered as going beyond the rules or even breaking the law, but if done by a prime minister, it would be considered as not living up to the overall situation.
"What Zhengfu means is... someone will take advantage of the emperor's bed to do something bad?"
In late October, the air was getting colder. That evening, in the back hall of their home, Zhang Jun and Zhang Deyuan, the prime ministers of the Western Palace, looked up in surprise. The vigilance and doubts they had previously felt because of the sudden visit of Yang Yizhong, who had a special identity, were instantly thrown out of their minds.
"It's not just that." Yang Yizhong replied solemnly. "Even though I can't find any definite evidence about your illness, I still feel that there is something strange..."
Zhang Jun was stunned.
Yang Yizhong did not wait for the other party to question him, and continued to speak: "Mr. Zhang, the emperor is frugal and does not want to add more palace maids, but this also means that all the palace maids are old ones. Later, the palace was cleaned up, and the two concubines had children, so some people were added. They were either old ones or servants in the two fathers-in-law's families. Forgive me for being frank, these people have a myriad of connections, all of which were connected when the harem was prosperous and prosperous, and some of them are resentful of the emperor because of the hardship in the harem now."
Zhang Jun, who had recovered from the shock, did not say anything directly. Instead, he picked up the tea and took a sip before frowning and saying, "Zhengfu, if that's the case, then everything you said is just your own speculation..."
"Mr. Zhang, even if it's speculation, so what?" Yang Yizhong replied solemnly. "Is it not my fault? There are three queen mothers, two emperors, two concubines and two princes. Some things can only be dangerous if you are not prepared! Besides, what if something goes wrong? If something goes wrong, Mr. Zhang, don't say that you are Zhuge Wuhou. You might even be a sinner like me!"
This was to admit that he was making groundless assumptions, and it also revealed who he was targeting... while also secretly pointing out the reason.
On the other side, Zhang Jun heard this and just looked at him solemnly: "Yes, this is related to the safety of the emperor... Then what is General Yang going to do?"
Yang Yizhong quickly stood up and saluted solemnly: "I heard that before the Shenlong coup, Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi tried Li Duozuo, and Li Duozuo replied that he was grateful for the kindness of the Emperor Tianhuang (Tang Gaozong) and was willing to obey the Prime Minister's command... I also felt the same way today. As a military officer, I am grateful for the kindness of the emperor, but I will never act on my own. I am willing to follow your arrangements."
Zhang Jun was extremely satisfied and nodded in response: "If so, I will go back and give you an answer tomorrow."
Yang Yi Zhong didn't say much, he walked out of the back hall directly and hurried away in the winter night... Of course, if you want to do something big, even if you don't mention the emperor, the empress dowager, the concubine and the prince, just purge the palace maids, it is an extremely serious matter, even Zhang Jun, the husband, must obtain the necessary support in advance.
Apart from anything else, we must reach a consensus with the so-called core members of the Wood Party.
However, just as Yang Yizhong walked out of the backyard, three people hurried out from a side room in the back hall. They were the Minister of Revenue Lin Jingmo, the Minister of War Liu Ziyu, and the Vice Minister of Personnel Lu Zhi.
It turned out that except for Qu Duan, whose identity was sensitive and whom he could not interact with frequently, the other three so-called core members of the Mu Party were at Zhang Deyuan's house.
