Intelligence shows that when Zhu Di was young, he went on an expedition to Mobei, sleeping in the ice and snow, which caused him to suffer from rheumatism. When he was young, he relied on his physical strength and superb martial arts to be able to sustain himself. After the age of fifty, as he aged and became weak, rheumatism
The disease became increasingly serious, making Zhu Di miserable. Doctors across the country were mobilized, but they still could not relieve the emperor's pain.
Seeking no cure, Zhu Di even placed his hope in alchemists. He once set up a temple in Nanjing to seek elixirs, but later gave up due to the advice of veterans.
From this piece of information, Wang Xian saw an opportunity. Because Zhu Di wanted to seek help from the immortal alchemist back then, but was blocked by others. In other words, the emperor has not tried this way yet. I believe that as Zhu Di's illness worsens, as long as someone is here,
If he mentions it in front of him, the emperor will choose to give it a try...
Wang Xian also learned that it was Zhu Di's close confidant, the eunuch Huang Yan, who originally suggested that the emperor seek immortality and medicine. Huang Yan himself had also sought the art of male root rebirth. Although he was unsuccessful, he still believed in alchemists.
Wang Xian ordered Wu Wei in the capital to find a person who was good at pretending to be a Taoist among the talented people in Jinyiwei to pretend to be a Taoist. The news that Wu Wei reported back made Wang Xian very happy. It turned out that Jinyiwei's
There is a charlatan in the team who specializes in playing tricks and deceiving people.
Under Wang Xian's instruction, Wu Wei applied for the ultimatum for the charlatan at the Daolu Department, and arranged for him to register at the Baiyun Temple where Huang Xian often went. The charlatan became the Taoist Hu in the Baiyun Temple.
The whole story of deception and abduction actually made him quite famous in Beijing within half a year, and finally attracted Huang Yan's attention.
Daochang Hu knew that everything he did was to attract Huang Yan's interest and ask him to introduce him to Zhu Di. In front of Huang Yan, he saved several dying patients... Of course, those patients were arranged by him.
It was just a good entrustment. Huang Xie really believed it, prepared a generous gift, and asked him seriously for advice on the art of rejuvenating dead trees with spring. Hu Daodao boasted about the trick, and supplemented it with some deceptive tricks, making Huang Xie completely believe that he was an expert who had gained the Tao.
, fully capable of curing the emperor's illness.
After winter, bad news came one after another, and the emperor's condition worsened again. Huang Yan tentatively asked the emperor whether he could seek help from the gods. Zhu Di was tortured so much that he would definitely try it if there was a way, and he agreed to see Hu.
God, this is how everything happened after that...
The formula of the elixir that Hu Shenxian refined for the emperor came from the experts at Jinyiwei6. The red elixir can be said to be a powerful tonic, which can stimulate the human body's potential to the greatest extent, making people feel energetic and full of energy in a short period of time.
Strength, but in fact it is based on severe overdraft. If taken for a long time, it will lead to liver yang and kidney deficiency, heat qi depression, and the risk of stroke at any time.
If the red elixir is an explosive, the yellow elixir the emperor took today is the fuse that detonates the explosive, which will cause severe phlegm fever... And these two elixirs themselves are not toxic. The young eunuch who tested the elixir is young
Although he was strong, he would feel hot all over the body after taking the medicine and would not have much reaction. However, the emperor was already old and frail, and he had been taking red elixirs for a long time. His whole body had become a powder keg, and all he needed was a burst of phlegm-heat.
Anger will definitely trigger a stroke!
In the evening, Dai Hua confirmed that the emperor had indeed suffered a stroke... The first stage of Wang Xian's revenge came to an end. As for when the next stage would begin, it would depend on how the various ghosts and gods performed after the emperor fell ill.
"Sir, everyone inside and outside the palace now thinks that you are the one who made the emperor angry and had a stroke," Dai Hua said with some worry: "Although no one dares to take your life, I am afraid it is impossible for us to leave the capital..."
"That's natural." Wang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think about leaving Beijing in a short time." He looked at Dai Hua and said, "Go pack up and prepare to move."
"Moving?" Dai Hua was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't the emperor give me a marquis mansion?" Wang Xian sneered: "They will definitely urge me to move there quickly."
"The Emperor's Marquis Mansion, I'm afraid it's not that easy to live in, right?" Dai Hua frowned.
"That's for sure," Wang Xian nodded: "It's just a decent way of saying residential surveillance..."
Although Wang Xian expected that he would move soon, he did not expect that early the next morning, a eunuch came to deliver the order, ordering him to move immediately to the Marquis's residence in Yuci, and that his entourage should not exceed ten people.
"Whose will is this?" Dai Hua asked the eunuch who delivered the order.
"This has been decided by the Emperor a long time ago, and it is naturally the Emperor's will." The eunuch who delivered the order said expressionlessly: "Our family cannot return to the palace until we see your uncle move here today."
"I think you are falsely passing on the imperial edict!" Dai Hua said angrily.
"Forget it, just obey the order." Wang Xian, however, did not let Dai Hua pester him anymore and accepted the order happily.
Let the eunuch who delivered the order wait in the front hall, while Wang Xian and Dai Hua went to the backyard to prepare for the move.
"Sir, you are too talkative, how could you agree to it like this?" Dai Hua asked in confusion.
Wang Xian said calmly: "We have to let those people focus on business as soon as possible, how can we cause more trouble for them."
"At least bring a few dozen more people." Dai Hua was very worried about Wang Xian's safety.
"Don't worry, before the dust settles, everyone needs a stable situation. If you don't want the world to be in chaos, no one dares to touch me." Wang Xian smiled and said: "In this case, bringing more people over will just accompany me to jail.
It's better to put it outside and have more manpower then..."
"Hey..." Seeing that Wang Xian had made up his mind, Dai Hua had no choice but to follow it. He carefully selected seven highly skilled and careful people from the guards, and arranged a maid to take care of Gu Xiaolian.
He gathered ten people by himself.
At noon, three carriages carrying Wang Xian and his party of eleven people drove out from the Earl's Mansion.
Through the car curtain, Wang Xian saw that the street had been cleared. Along the way were soldiers and horses of the Dongchang Jinyiwei, marching three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, fully alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy!
Obviously, those people were frightened by the grand occasion when Wang Xian entered the city. They were afraid that something would happen again when he moved to the capital, so they put martial law on the road he had to pass overnight.
Wang Xian laughed silently and closed the car curtain. Then he looked at Gu Xiaolian who was sitting quietly aside, held her hand and said softly: "Let's move, but don't worry, there's nothing dangerous..."
Gu Xiaolian had a look of reassurance on her face and gently held his hand.
The carriage drove into Dongchang Hutong, and then drove straight into the Le'an Marquis' Mansion, which is adjacent to the Dongchang Yamen. Dai Hua sat in front of the car and saw that the door of the mansion was quite impressive, but when the carriage drove into the mansion, he could see the shape of the house inside.
The walls on all four sides of the same prison are more than two feet high, and the walls are covered with thorns. At first glance, they are from the same family as the walls of the Prison Temple.
Inside the courtyard wall is a U-shaped courtyard. Soldiers with armor and armor are stationed in the outer courtyard, closely monitoring the small inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is Wang Xian's main residence, with two south rooms, plus the east and west rooms.
The wing room, a total of four rooms, surrounds a narrow patio. There is a tall locust tree in the patio, and its towering branches cover the entire patio, which provides a rare shade in summer.
"This must be the shabbiest Marquis Mansion in history, right?" Dai Hua stood in the courtyard, looking at the rather decadent surroundings. Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but get angry. He mocked the eunuch.
The eunuch just smiled and said nothing.
"If it's okay, you can go back and answer the order. Do you still expect to be in charge of the food?" Dai Hua glared at the eunuch.
The eunuch smiled, nodded, bowed to Wang Xian, and quietly left.
"Actually, the quality here is not low anymore." After the eunuch left, Wang Xian reached out and touched the stone table in the courtyard. His hands were covered with dust, but he said with a nonchalant smile: "Back then, the King of Valley was imprisoned.
Before and after he was deposed, he was imprisoned here. Now it is used to imprison me as a little marquis, I should be flattered."
"Then don't talk about granting a Marquis Palace!" Dai Hua said angrily.
"I'm so angry, why don't you allow your son to embarrass us?" Wang Xian smiled and pushed open the door of the main room. He saw a four-foot-square room with moldy walls and spider webs hanging on the beams.
, a kang table was bare without any paving. Wang Xian rolled up his sleeves and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Before dark, we have to clean up this room and heat up the kang, otherwise we will suffer a lot at night."
Although Wang Xian wanted to do it himself, how could Dai Hua agree and ask him and Gu Xiaolian to stay in the courtyard while he and others quickly cleaned the main room carefully.
Hurrying slowly, they tidied up the main house before dark and lit up the kang. When Wang Xian helped Gu Xiaolian enter the house, he saw that it was indeed clean and warm inside. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay
Wow, I can have a good sleep tonight." After saying that, he said a little embarrassedly: "You guys should go and tidy up your room..."
"My lord, don't worry about us, we can do whatever we want." Dai Hua laughed naively, and then asked as if he was remembering something: "My lord, do you think it was King Zhao who brought us here?"
"Zhu Di wouldn't do things in such a arrogant manner, and only a petty-minded guy like King Zhao would do such a thing." Wang Xian said lightly: "It's really not safe to put all your hopes on him...
…”.
In the Xiyuan dormitory, King Zhao had been waiting with the princes and ministers for a whole day, looking a little tired, but no one dared to leave.
King Zhao held his arms and stood outside the curtain, looking at the emperor who was still receiving acupuncture inside the heavy curtain. His heart was wandering to nowhere. He really wanted to take the opportunity to send his father to Emperor Taizu. This would be perfect.
Wang Xian was framed. However, Zheng He, like a door god, always stayed by the emperor's side, leaving him no opportunity to take advantage of him. Seeing time passing by and opportunities being lost, King Zhao became anxious.
Running around but having no choice but to do anything, it really feels like you are in a state of confusion.
Eunuch Yang walked in, came close to King Zhao, and whispered a few words softly.
