The illness comes like a mountain falling, and the illness goes away like a thread spinning.
The King of Jin was ill for three days. He did not see the Xie family and his son, nor did he go to the criminal department to see Zhang Xutang. Instead, he met Song Huiyue in the palace day after day.
Song Huiyue came in the morning and left at night, feeding King Jin three times a day. King Jin did not resist drinking medicine, but because the bubbles did not break for a long time at first, and then became more and more painful after breaking, he did not want to eat anything.
.
He was weak and pale, and gradually became less shameless in front of Song Huiyue. He would often fall asleep watching her knitting bamboo strips. When he woke up, his hair would be disheveled, his face would be pale, without a trace of blood, and he would have no charm at all.
.
Compared with the lively Song Huiyue, he is simply a yellow-faced king.
Song Huiyue didn't care about this. King Jin did have charming charm, but occasionally he was not so charming for a few days, which did not damage his beauty. Instead, he looked like a wretch and needed her care.
She took care of King Jin like a little nun, holding a plate of lotus seed cake, breaking it into two pieces, eating half of it first, then pressing King Jin into the chair with one hand, and holding the lotus seed cake with the other hand.
After forcing it into his mouth, King Jin tried his best to hide back, but there was no way to avoid it because Song Huiyue almost thrust her finger into his throat.
The King of Jin had no choice but to swallow the lotus seed cake, but Song Huiyue showed no mercy and stuffed in another half piece.
After finally finishing the lotus seed cake, Song Huiyue poured more than half of the lychee syrup into King Jin's mouth.
King Jin drank too much sugar water and had a strong urge to urinate. He had to go to the clean room again and again. Sometimes he couldn't hold it for even four-quarters of an hour and had to make a trip.
Xie Zhou came to visit the doctor forcibly. Seeing him going there one after another, he couldn't help but said: "My lord, you must have kidney deficiency."
"no!"
"Then you are so wet and dry?"
"No! Get out!"
Xie Zhou got out and saw Song Huiyue coming with a big medicine jar. He was very worried about Song Huiyue's future and decided to go back and tell his old father that if there was a good internal medicine expert, he would also find one for King Jin.
The King of Jin was so embarrassed in front of Song Huiyue and Xie Zhou that he was almost hopeless. However, he received "careful care" from Song Huiyue. On the fourth day, he recovered quickly from the illness and did not dare to continue to get sick again.
Went down.
It happened that the next day was the Ghost Festival, and Song Huiyue and Mrs. Song were going to the street to buy bran leaves and magnesium glutinous rice, so they went home first.
King Jin sent her to the carriage and couldn't help but ask: "Will you come tomorrow?"
Song Huiyue shook her head: "You are fine, so I won't come."
And she also wanted to find Yin Xiao.
King Jin regretted that he recovered too quickly.
After sending Song Huiyue away, the King of Jin went to the Punishment Division and met Zhang Xutang again in the Prison Temple.
Zhang Xutang has not entered the quiet room in the past few days, and his complexion has obviously improved. However, there is no cup of hot tea on the table for him to snatch, which makes him very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, you are so calm. I thought you would come to see me early the next morning."
He was eagerly waiting for that day, and even prepared a few words of understatement to comfort him. As soon as King Jin arrived, he would immediately send out those sarcastic words. Who knew that he was so eager to see through it, but King Jin didn't come to meet him at all?
mean.
At this time, he looked at King Jin's words and expressions, trying to find depression, grief, hatred, and anger in King Jin, but he couldn't find any.
Maybe King Jin has calmed down for a few days, which is enough time to digest all these emotions. Maybe King Jin is more calm than when he was in Tanzhou.
Even so, Zhang Xutang still felt a slight change in him.
He found that King Jin had lost part of his "love" and part of his "human desire", and had castrated his feelings. When he sat in the chair, he was like a mountain, overwhelming everything without emotion.
The King of Jin did not gossip with him, but spoke concisely and to the point: "The past events you told are not enough for me to let you go."
"I understand," Zhang Xutang laughed, "the value of our Zhang family cannot be exchanged with a small story, so I prepared another big gift."
King Jin gave him a sideways look: "You have been planning for so long. I hope your gift is big enough, otherwise it still won't buy your life."
"It's not a plan, it's a big gamble." Zhang Xutang corrected him, "Now it seems that I made the right bet."
The fact that the Zhang family once rebelled with King Chen was a huge powder keg, with the fuse hidden somewhere and the fire held in Li Jun's hand.
They all know that this pile of gunpowder will explode sooner or later. If the timing of the explosion is not good enough, the Zhang family will be blown to pieces, and even the noble concubines in the harem and the former King Yan will be affected.
So Zhang Xutang took the decision and made this huge gamble.
He asked the Zhang family and King Yan to retreat to a corner, leaving everything open for King Jin and Song Huiyue to investigate until they found Li Jun, found the Zhang family's letters, and exposed it in the court
So far.
In this way, the Zhang family can decide when the fuse is ignited, control the scope and power of the explosion, and finally eliminate the incident that could bring disaster to the Zhang family.
Everything was as Zhang Xutang expected. There were slight errors in the details because of Song Huiyue, but it didn't matter. The main points were the same.
The King of Jin found the fuse and lit it. Zhang Xutang carried the gunpowder barrel into the prison. He endured pain and torture and carefully held the pile of gunpowder until today.
Next, this pile of gunpowder will be extinguished in his arms and become ashes, and will never have an impact on the Zhang family again.
At the same time, he also hollowed out King Jin's means.
The Zhang family no longer has any leverage. Even if you, the King of Jin, have great means, the Zhang family can fight back openly and stand up to each other in the court.
King Jin had murderous intent hidden in the corners of his eyes and brows: "Your bet is really big, and you will lose your life if you are not careful."
Zhang Xutang nodded: "It's very big, and the conditions we used in exchange are also very big."
As he spoke, he covered his heart with reluctance, almost crying with regret: "It's the Dingzhou Tiger Talisman, which can mobilize one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Dingzhou."
He had said these words thousands of times in his heart, but when he actually said them, he really felt that the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Dingzhou were leaving him.
But there is no way, except for this thing, anything else is just out of reach for King Jin, and it is not enough to make him tempted - unless the Zhang family can catch Song Huiyue in exchange, but this action is too dangerous, because Jin
The king lost his beloved, and in his rage, he most likely killed him to sacrifice to heaven, and then negotiated terms with the Zhang family.
"We, the Zhang family, will give you the Tiger Talisman on the condition that you write down a dossier on the spot that can prove that the Zhang family did not rebel, and have Shen Zhijie send it to Jinshang immediately for review."
King Jin "scattered" in the chair.
His body was still sitting upright in the chair, but his soul had drifted with the current, following the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, to the land of Dingzhou.
Military power was something that King Yan was proud of, and it was also something that King Jin lacked. As long as he had the tiger talisman, he could arrange his own troops to enter Dingzhou.
Pei Jiaerlang, the four heads of the family, You Song and other retainers are a force that cannot be underestimated in Kyoto. Once they enter Dingzhou, they are like a dragon lurking into the sea. Within a year, they can make great achievements.
