Chapter 162
Chapter 162
Cinnabar, mercury, red lead.
Ji Yuan felt a headache when looking at these words.
Although ancient people did not understand the harm of these things, they ate half a pound at a time?
Everyone is scared.
But there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with Ji Yuan’s proposal?
Anyway, let them try it. They will know whether the pill is poisonous or not by trying it.
The emperor's eldest grandson was eager to try. His father, the crown prince, was in the bedroom talking to the emperor, and now everyone had to listen to him.
"Someone, bring the living Buddhas up here!"
The prince came out and actually said, "Bring the living Buddhas here."
But the two people's tones are completely different.
The prince had a sad expression, but his tone was not harsh. He said to his son, "Your grandfather wants to see them and ask the Living Buddha for help. Since the imperial physician is useless, we need to see if the Living Buddhas can help."
ah?
And let the living Buddhas come to save us?
The emperor's eldest grandson was shocked and obviously refused.
But the prince shook his head at him, asking him to obey.
What is going on?!
Why do you still believe that elixirs are useful at this point?
Ji Yuan understood.
1. Just for the sake of gambling, just in case the elixir works.
Anyway, the imperial doctors are helpless now and have to give it their all.
Second, it is even the most important point.
The old emperor wants to save face.
He can die.
But this death is to devote oneself to the country and the people, to die for a good cause, and to die gloriously.
No matter what the reason is, one should not die because of superstition in Tantric Buddhism.
Using the above reasons to conclude, the old emperor would have a good reputation after his death.
What if it’s because of the latter?
God knows how future history books will record it?
Ji Yuan was a little impressed by the old emperor.
It has come to this.
He actually regained his consciousness.
This is probably what it means when a person is about to die and his brain begins to regain consciousness.
But this also illustrates a problem.
The old emperor is doomed to die.
Even someone like him who didn't want to die realized that there was nothing he could do at this moment.
This shows how badly his health has declined.
Some people also say, won’t he take revenge?
Yes.
His obedient son will help him get revenge.
But at least now, I have to preserve my reputation during my lifetime.
Ji Yuan reacted, and Prime Minister Li, University Scholar Chu and others also reacted.
There was a flash of sadness in Prime Minister Li's eyes.
Has it really come to this?
The inner hall remained quiet.
But the warmth of the charcoal fire made everyone sweat, and it seemed to dispel the emperor's deathly chill.
At this moment, everyone in the inner hall felt comfortable and warm, and heard the news that the old emperor was about to die.
The combination of the two makes it difficult for them to think.
Facing a dying person.
How would everyone feel?
It’s hard to say, no one can say for sure.
Prime Minister Li had a window opened, and the cold air outside blew in, which dissipated some of the warmth in everyone's bodies and allowed them to return to the sad news.
To put it bluntly.
The next period of time was the time for the old emperor to arrange his funeral arrangements.
As for the formula for feeding elixirs to living Buddhas?
That still won’t work.
To maintain the dignity of the living Buddhas is to maintain the last dignity of the old emperor.
The three men came over tremblingly, muttering words that no one could understand.
Ji Yuan could understand a little bit, but it was mostly their local dialect.
As for the language spoken by the leader, Living Buddha Terry, I really couldn't understand it.
Ji Yuan asked directly: "Are you cursing something?"
Terry：???
He was just shouting for help.
But Ji Yuan changed his way of doing things with just one word, and he quickly spoke the official language of Tianqi.
The prince glanced at Ji Yuan and asked if they had any suitable elixirs.
Still taking pills?
The three living Buddhas were trembling with fear and really thought they were going to die.
When they saw the Emperor of Tianqi faint, they thought about escaping.
They had no idea what this pill was, they just knew it was effective after taking it.
Even they themselves have eaten it a few times.
But they were young after all and didn't eat it very often.
But the emperor is different. He eats them almost every day. For this sacrifice, he has eaten more than a dozen from the time he opened his eyes in the morning until now.
It’s also Prince He Hui’s fault. If he hadn’t urged them so hard, they wouldn’t have done this.
Tell them now.
The people of Tianqi Kingdom did not suspect that the problem was with the elixir, but instead asked them to find another solution?
This, what can you think about?
Should we feed him some more pills? If the emperor’s health gets worse, then it will be confirmed.
When the prince looked at them, his eyes were scrutinizing.
He doesn't believe it now either.
But as I said before, maintaining the dignity of the living Buddhas is to maintain the dignity of my father.
My father’s glorious reputation cannot be ruined now.
The emperor's eldest grandson looked at it and found it extremely ridiculous.
For the first time, he discovered that his father was also capable of pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Is there anyone who can't see the clues in today's incident? !
The emperor's eldest grandson looked around and set his sights on Prime Minister Li and Ji Yuan.
Prime Minister Li's expression was also complicated, but he obviously wanted to save face for the emperor.
What about the era?
Does Ji Yuan want decency or does he want the truth?
The living Buddhas over there didn't dare to feed them any more pills and decided to perform rituals.
Seeing that another ritual was about to begin, the emperor's eldest grandson was already standing next to Ji Yuan and whispered, "Master Ji, don't you want to expose these liars?"
The sixteen-year-old eldest grandson of the emperor is obsessed with exposing these scammers!
Don't be fooled!
Ji Yuan replied: "For the sake of the emperor's dignity, it cannot be exposed."
Ji Yuan spoke frankly, and the emperor's eldest grandson was speechless.
But is this respectability really important?
Ji Yuan said, "I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will believe it, which would be bad."
It is very appropriate for Ji Yuan to say this.
In everyone's opinion, he did not believe in these secret Buddhas and these elixirs from the beginning to the end.
He has also always questioned the legend of He Huiguo.
The emperor's eldest grandson had no suspicion, but was awakened by Ji Yuan's last words.
He was still hesitating.
The emperor's face is indeed important.
So he just asked Ji Yuan in private.
But if you ask him whether it is more important for the emperor to lose face or for his father to be deceived, he will definitely choose his father.
Besides, it’s just that the emperor lost face, so what?
The emperor's eldest grandson seemed to have made up his mind.
The "conspiracy" of the living Buddhas must be exposed.
The emperor's eldest grandson turned his eyes and played with the sword and jade ornaments on his waist.
But Ji Yuan has kept silent about it.
When Ji Yuan returned to the outer hall again, everyone looked at him. Ji Yuan shook his head slightly. Although he didn't say anything, he said everything.
Everyone is waiting.
Wait for the result that will surely come.
Everyone was a little confused, but also felt that this moment should have come a long time ago.
Listening to the sounds of rituals being performed inside, everyone knew that after today, the sky in Tianqi Kingdom would change.
It can even be said that the haze that has long shrouded the capital is about to dissipate.
Some people even think about it in their hearts.
This day seems to have finally arrived.
But why wasn’t the matter of the elixir exposed?
Or, do you not want to make things so embarrassing before the old emperor dies?
It is possible.
Forget it, everyone is going to die.
Let’s not talk about the past.
Are you really not going to mention it?
Ji Yuan found a stool and sat down. A charcoal fire was lit in the outer hall, so it was no longer cold.
Just wait and see.
Ji Yuan closed his eyes, as if he was resting, or as if he was waiting for news.
No one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew what he actually did.
He was actually wondering, the news was sent out of the capital in September and October, and whether Cheng Jiaoyu and others in Dianzhou Prefecture had received the urgent report that was sent there at full speed.
The old emperor is about to die.
Do they know that the Cheng family has been rehabilitated?
There is actually this advantage to traveling a long distance.
Before we have even digested the previous good news, the next good news is on the way.
The forty-fourth year of Huayuan, New Year’s Day.
Dianzhou Prefecture, Ning'an Prefecture, Cheng Family.
The eldest master of the Cheng family and the second master of the Cheng family celebrated the New Year together again.
This is the second year that Teacher Cheng and his family have spent in Ning'an Prefecture.
This year, the Cheng family’s house is a little bigger than last year.
Cheng Yisan was the head of the provincial school. As his bookshop started to make a profit, he expanded his house.
Mr. Cheng is now in good spirits, but his eyesight has recovered, so the expansion of the house was handed over to him, so he doesn't have to go out and can still do the work.
So the two families living here don't feel crowded at all.
The two families have obviously become accustomed to life here and even plan to settle down here.
No matter how stormy the outside world is, the Cheng family still has a place to stay.
During the Chinese New Year, families have little to do and just chat in the yard.
Ning'an Prefecture has a warm climate, and the winter morning sunshine is particularly warm.
"Urgent news, urgent news!"
Cheng Yisan looked over.
What urgent news needs to be delivered here on New Year's Day this year?
Teacher Cheng also found it strange.
Lord Cheng's expression turned strange, and the entire Cheng family became tense.
They have heard too much bad news over the years.
What will it be this time?
Cheng Yishan smiled: "Now no matter what it is, I can get used to it."
Habit.
What helpless words.
But she is optimistic.
When the messenger saw Cheng Yisan, he saluted quickly.
This person is the head of the provincial school and is very powerful.
Then I saw Teacher Cheng, and then I realized that there were other officials here.
The messenger received money from his superiors, who told him to deliver it as soon as possible.
So along the way, no one stopped, and no matter where the messengers were from, they delivered them with all their strength.
"It's an urgent report for Master Cheng."
"Hurry and take a look."
Lord Cheng.
Cheng Yisan's father looked up, his eyes filled with horror.
It's him again.
What to do this time.
Because of the peaceful atmosphere brought by the New Year, Lord Cheng was on the verge of collapse again.
Cheng Yisan opened the documents on his behalf.
No matter what it is, she can accept it, she can accept it.
Cheng Yisan gritted her teeth. Her hands were not rough, but they were not as delicate and smooth as before. However, if you look closely, they have a different kind of luster.
These are a pair of beautiful, working hands. Even the thin calluses on the fingers from writing are so eye-catching.
The document was very long, and the letter inside was also very long.
Cheng Yisan read ten lines at a glance until she raised her head and saw that everyone was looking at her.
Cheng Yisan is the backbone of the Cheng family. She is the backbone of the first house and, like the second master of the second house, Teacher Cheng, she supports the Cheng family.
Cheng Yishan had tears in her eyes, which was rare, and she said in a muffled voice, "The verdict has been overturned."
"My father's case has been overturned."
"It was the people from the Secret Buddha Temple who tortured my father into confessing."
"They framed my father and our entire family."
Cheng Yisan tried to describe the incident in as few words as possible, with her fingers clenched tightly.
"Those people have been executed."
"All dead."
The entire Cheng family stood up, their eyes filled with disbelief.
real?
Hasn't the case been confirmed?
How could the case be overturned when the culprit is even dead?
How could it be so fast?!
Yeah, how could it be so fast?
But since the person who handles this matter is Ji Yuan, then there is no problem.
Cheng Yisan read Ji Yuan's letters again, and he told him the whole story.
She talked about the grievances her father had suffered, the grievances her family had suffered, and what had happened.
But what Ji Yuan himself did was only briefly mentioned and could only be seen in official documents.
He also said in the letter, don't be anxious, just keep waiting.
What are you waiting for?
What else does he want to do?
New Year's Day, night, in the capital.
As night fell, the weather grew colder.
However, there was a heated argument in the palace of the Temple of Heaven and Earth.
The eldest grandson of the emperor had a living Buddha pinned down and said directly: "Tell me quickly! What other conspiracy do you have!"
Others simply couldn't stop him.
The emperor was ill and the prince was taking care of him.
Who can stop the emperor's eldest grandson from doing things?
"Report! General Zhang sent a letter! The barbarians from the southwest have escaped! They left the capital this afternoon!"
"It's the Hehui Kingdom! All the people of the Hehui Kingdom have run away!"
"When they found out that the emperor was in trouble, they immediately set off! When General Zhang went there, he found nothing!"
After these words were spoken, everyone who had originally wanted to hold the emperor's eldest grandson back was dumbfounded.
Run away?
How could he run away?
Is it really as Ji Yuan said, that everything is a conspiracy?
Is it really as the emperor's eldest grandson said, that the southwestern barbarians did it on purpose?
It's a mess.
It's a complete mess.
When the dying emperor heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and said with a weak breath, "No, no, don't check."
Cannot check.
If the investigation goes on, his reputation will be ruined.
If the investigation goes on, his final years will be in jeopardy.
But what's the use of his words?
Ji Yuan was already standing next to the emperor's eldest grandson.
He is good at investigating cases.
He will definitely get to the bottom of this matter.
It must be made known to the world before the emperor dies.
He guarantees it in the era.
