399. Is the emperor a suspect?
After hearing that Du Ruhui was poisoned, Li Shimin immediately asked for a solution. Jing Wen quickly gave a solution, which was to let Du Ruhui rest seriously and never be able to deal with anything. Jing Wen finally knew the cruelty of the person behind the scenes, that is, the poison he used was very clever. He would not use anything poisonous directly. In fact, he used some exciting things to make Du Ruhui consume his body functions in a transitional manner. Once the body functions are over-consuming, the entire human body will become abnormal. Once this situation occurs, it is very easy to get overwork into illness and eventually die of illness. In fact, this "stimulant" itself will not poison people, but it will over-consuming them and end up exhausting.
As for the death of exhaustion when taking stimulants, when the body was finally tested, it was only possible to detect the illness caused by overwork and death of exhaustion, and would not be detected too much poison. The mastermind behind this is really smart enough. Not only can he poison Du Ruhui to death, but he can also avoid exposing himself.
"Du Pushe, have you offended anyone?" Jing Wen asked.
"Old Du has always been kind to others, and he should have never offended anyone!" Fang Xuanling said.
At this time, Li Shimin immediately said: "Fortunately, this poison is not directly fatal, so there is no problem. However, Keming, you should have a good rest soon! You really need to have a good rest, otherwise I may really lose you forever!"
Li Shimin doesn't say that he is busy with official duties now. Anyway, compared to losing Du Ruhui forever, these official duties can still be delayed. Du Ruhui did not force any further work because he knew that he was poisoned. Of course, he wanted to find out who the poisoned person was. He had never offended anyone, but he was poisoned, which made him a little unacceptable. Therefore, he also wanted to know who it was, hated him so much and poisoned him to death. If he died of this "stimulant" and died, he might not be able to seek justice even if he died! Because all the signs indicate that Du Ruhui was exhausted.
Next, Li Shimin immediately said: "Jing Wen, since you were the first to discover that Keming was poisoned, then this matter will be left to you to investigate. In the palace, you can dispatch anyone, even me. I can grant you the military power of Qianniu Guards and the Gate Guards, so you can investigate it."
"Okay!" Jing Wen took on this task.
Soon, Jing Wen asked immediately: "Du Pushe, have you eaten anything recently? Or, after you have eaten something, you feel full of energy, and it seems that you have a lot of energy for a while?"
Jing Wen knew that the effect of stimulants was that after taking it, there would be a period of excitement, and often after taking it. Now that I want to know that Du Ruhui was poisoned, I have to investigate the time of the poisoning. As long as I figure out when Du Ruhui was most energetic, maybe it was the time when he was poisoned for a while ago.
When Du Ruhui heard this, his face changed for a moment, and then he really wanted to say something.
"Du Pushe, tell me!" Jing Wen said.
Li Shimin seemed to say, "I once asked the imperial kitchen to make some medicinal food for him. If this is also counted, then I have given it to him."
Du Ruhui also stammered: "After drinking the medicinal food given by the emperor, I felt full of strength. I thought it was medicinal food that worked."
Jing Wen immediately looked at Li Shimin in surprise, obviously a little surprised. Everyone was looking at Li Shimin. Could it be that Li Shimin wanted to attack Du Ruhui?
"What are you watching me? How could I kill Keming?" Li Shimin quickly retorted.
Li Shimin was absolutely depressed, and everyone doubted himself. If the shit in this matter was taken to the emperor, then all officials in the court would be disinterested. An emperor who could drug his subjects would probably be afraid of him.
"It won't be the emperor. Absolutely not! We have been friends with the emperor for many years, and the emperor will not treat me like this!" Du Ruhui first refuted Li Shimin.
Then, many people can be sure that Li Shimin would never poison Du Ruhui. Jing Wen also felt that it was impossible because Li Shimin did not have this motivation! If he really took a step back and said that Li Shimin did not want Du Ruhui to continue to be prime minister, then just one edict could allow Du Ruhui to go home to support his old age. Du Ruhui was not a powerful minister, and there was no need to let the emperor use such extreme means.
"Emperor, now, since Prime Minister Du Ruhui was poisoned by drinking the medicinal food you gave, then you are also a suspect! Although you have no motivation, after all, the medicinal food you gave is suspected, so naturally..." Jing Wen said.
"What?" Li Shimin was also angry.
Li Shimin was very frustrated. He saw Du Ruhui working hard for a while, so he gave him medicinal food. But now he has become the first suspect. How can this not make Li Shimin feel frustrated? As for whether Li Shimin poisoned, Li Shimin is very clear. He has no idea of killing Du Ruhui at all. But now the number one shit basin is on his head. How poisonous is this method! Moreover, this is also the best cover. Most people will not think that Du Ruhui was poisoned, but that Du Ruhui was poisoned, and the number one suspect was the emperor. Ordinary people, after finding this, they may not have the courage to continue investigating. Because there are some things, it is better not to offend the emperor. Many people may not have the courage to investigate after finding this.
"Okay! This matter cannot be forgotten like this! Since Jing Wen thinks that I am the first person to doubt, I should be locked by the government according to the rules. But I am the emperor and cannot go to the prison cell. So, I stay in the palace and let everyone stare at me. I will never leave the bedroom." Li Shimin said.
Everyone was shocked by Li Shimin's cruelty. He actually asked himself to be "custodged" in the bedroom and not come out, so he asked Jing Wen to take someone to investigate. From this perspective, the emperor would never be good. I am afraid that this time I don't know how many storms and rain will be caused. Poisoning a prime minister and holding the shit basin on the emperor. No matter which one is, it is a great crime.
"Your Majesty, this may not be necessary. Maybe the chefs in the imperial kitchen have something wrong!" Jing Wen said hurriedly.
