Chapter 46: Trapped in a Killing Bureau
On the second day, when the sky was bright, a eunuch came to Lingxiao Tower and asked Zhang Hao to diagnose and treat Emperor Jingming.
Enter the palace, pass through the palace gate, and arrive at the Changle Hall where Emperor Jingming lives daily.
In the palace, a row of palace maids and eunuchs waited on both sides. Behind a screen, on the dragon bed, lay Shen Changgong, with sunken cheeks and a complexion as pale as death.
Shen Changgong caught a glimpse of Zhang Hao from the corner of his eye, his expression suddenly became very excited, and he struggled to get up. At this moment, a mouthful of black blood suddenly spurted out, with a putrid smell, and some dense insects crawled in the blood. , making people fearful.
"National Preceptor, I..."
Before he finished his sentence, Shen Changgong's pupils suddenly dilated and he lost his energy.
A Tai Lin heard a strange noise and rushed in immediately. When he saw Shen Changgong leaning on his side without making any sound, he boldly went forward to test his breathing. The next moment, his face was horrified and he yelled at the top of his voice. Said: "It's not good, it's not good, the emperor has passed away!"
The palace was in chaos. Some eunuchs went to find the imperial doctor, and some eunuchs went to report to the queen and prince. More people were sobbing in the palace. If nothing happens, they, the slaves who served the emperor in his daily life, would surely be buried.
Zhang Hao watched the chaotic scene with cold eyes, his expression still calm.
"Father, father!"
A moment later, the prince rushed in frantically. He didn't even notice that his shoe fell on the doorstep. His expression was extremely sad, as if he couldn't believe it!
Seeing Shen Changgong restrained on the couch, he immediately rushed forward and burst into tears: "Father, father, it's all my fault that I believed in this evil sorcerer, and that's why you suffered!"
He stood up and stared at Zhang Hao with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to eat his flesh, and said angrily: "Traitor, I would like to ask you to diagnose and treat my father. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious and commit such a murderous act. It's a pity that my father's health didn't improve until yesterday. Now I have been attacked by you, and I will fight with you!" He said, pulling out the sword from his waist and slashing at Zhang Hao.
One of the chamberlains quickly stopped him and shouted: "Your Highness, please don't be reckless. The evil ways are powerful. You have to take care of yourself. Who are you, please take down the evil ways quickly!"
"What's the fuss about?"
Outside the palace gate, several ministers came, one of them said majestically.
Among these people were Li Lin, the Duke of Dingguo, Yan Zhibai, the first assistant, Xie Cangwu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and Shen Changqing, the brother of Emperor Jingming who was named King An, all of whom were important officials in the court.
A chamberlain said: "Your Majesty, the emperor has passed away!"
"Here, here, I came here yesterday. Is the emperor still in good health?"
Shen Changqing looked shocked and hurriedly entered the palace. He saw the prince with disheveled hair and a long sword in his hand. He asked in confusion: "Emperor's nephew, what are you doing?"
The prince cried loudly: "Uncle, my father was killed by a demon and has passed away!"
"Here, don't talk nonsense. The Imperial Advisor is the pillar of the country. How could he murder the Emperor?" King An said hurriedly.
The prince gritted his teeth and said: "After my father became ill, the doctor's diagnosis and treatment has improved, and he was able to attend court yesterday. But Gu thought that this demon claimed to be a god and came to the world, and he might have supernatural powers, so he invited him to come and help. My father was undergoing diagnosis and treatment, but I didn’t expect that Gu Zhi was a moment late because he was dealing with government affairs, and my father was poisoned by him!”
"According to the palace servants, this monster only met for a moment before my father suddenly died. If it wasn't him, who else could be there?"
The eunuch who was the first to rush into the inner hall suddenly knelt down and said: "I saw with my own eyes that the imperial master forced the emperor to drink a bottle of potion, and the emperor vomited black blood and died!"
The eunuch pointed at the black blood, and everyone saw that the ground was filled with dense insects, and they couldn't help but feel horrified.
Duke Dingguo was shocked and said: "This is the art of witchcraft!"
The prince said sadly and angrily: "The monster controls the soldiers' pavilion, and many strange people and strangers are used by him. Who else can give my father such a strange poison besides him? Father, you have misjudged the person!"
The eunuch who testified against him cried loudly: "I am incompetent. I failed to save the emperor. I am willing to die to prove what the demon has done." After saying that, he hit the jade pillar in the palace. No one could stop him, and only heard a "bang".
, his brain collapsed and he died on the spot.
"This is a truly loyal and righteous man!"
Duke Dingguo looked at Zhang Hao angrily and shouted: "Yao Dao, what else do you have to say?"
Bang bang bang!
Zhang Hao clapped gently, with a smile on his face, "Wonderful, wonderful!"
"National Master, you'd better just surrender. This palace has been surrounded by four guards: Hu Ji, Long Xiang, Yu Lin, and Shenji. No matter how powerful you are, it's still hard for you to fly!" Xie Cangwuyin said.
Zhang Hao laughed dumbly: "No, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying how wonderful your plan is, but your acting skills are very wonderful. Well, you are qualified to win the Golden Eagle TV Arts Best Performance Award from a certain channel! Especially Duke Dingguo
You are really the finishing touch. I still lack a dramatic talent in charge of publicity and publicity. Is Mr. Dingguo willing to give in?"
Naturally, Duke Ding didn't understand what he was saying, but he said with all his hair and hair: "Traitor, you killed my father and harmed the common people. You have committed a heinous crime, and you dare to lie here!"
"Here comes someone, take down the demon path!"
"Oh, boring!" Zhang Hao sighed, and before the two guards even touched the corners of his clothes, they were knocked away by the body-protecting energy.
"The demon is powerful, protect the prince and prince!"
Li Lin, Duke of Dingguo, shouted loudly and stood guard in front of the prince despite being seventy years old, showing his loyalty.
Zhang Hao was speechless, it seems that this person is possessed by a "drama spirit"!
The prince said loudly: "The demons and sorcery are powerful, but fortunately there are strangers in the world who stepped forward to eliminate the demons for justice. I also ask all the knights to subdue the demons and clarify the punishment!"
"Amitabha!"
Suddenly, a monk shouted the name of the Buddha loudly. His voice was dignified and solemn, which made people feel admiration in their hearts.
An old monk in yellow clothes appeared at the door of the temple. He looked at Zhang Hao with a calm gaze and sighed: "Monks should not care about the disputes in the world, but the benefactor wants to destroy the righteous dharma and the world is contaminated by evil, but the poor monk can't.
Not coming!"
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Wen Ji, I strictly restrict Buddhism so that no one can accept incense from believers. The temple fields must be cultivated by one's own people and cannot be rented to farmers. The excess will go to the national treasury. Moreover, Buddha statues can only be plated with copper and cannot be made of pure
Casting Buddha statues from copper and other precious metals is an attempt to restore Buddhism to its original simplicity. What's wrong with that? You call yourself a poor monk, but how could you be so poor? I only see the stench of copper all over the temple and courtyard!
"
"Alas, no matter how much the benefactor's tongue blooms, it's hard to resist the desire of the poor monk to subjugate the devil. Why did so many senior brothers in Yunlin Temple suffer from your poisonous hands? Junior brother Huixin can sacrifice his life to subdue the devil, how can the poor monk dare to stay out of it!"
"That's right." Zhang Hao chuckled, "If you want to take revenge, take revenge. Don't use my management reform of Buddhism as an excuse!"
"The others, please come in!"
In front of the palace gate, several more people filed in, including Mu Wuji, the master of the Zhenwu Palace, Ling Duancang, the master of Canglang Island, Su Shaobai, the prodigal son of the Jianghu, Yin Li, the "poison sage" from the southwest, and "Heitian", the leader of the southern green forest.
"Hands" are not crazy people, there are the two elders of Dahuang who have been living in seclusion for a long time, etc.
