The five young eunuchs didn't know what was going on, only the Prime Minister Zhang Daxianggong who came out of the warm pavilion looked at him stupidly.
?Shang Shu Zuo Servant shot down the servant (i.e.: Prime Minister) Zhang Dun was a tall, handsome uncle, probably in his fifties at this time. Probably because the politicians are full of energy, they seem to be in their forties, wearing a purple official uniform, but they look like a marshal who is going to fight and sit in the town, majestic and majestic.
A young eunuch turned his head to see that Mr. Zhang was far away, and muttered in a low voice: "Ah, this is the birth of Lao Tzu and grandma?"
This is talking about Zhang Daxianggong's scandalous life experience. It is said that he is the illegitimate son of his father and his father's mother-in-law.
Although Mr. Zhang didn't hear the gossip, he didn't hesitate, so he pointed at the talkative monkey:
"Come on, throw him into the pot!"
Both Master Xu and Tong Guan were dumbfounded. They thought they were dreaming, but they saw two or three guards coming over, picking up the talkative little eunuch, and throwing him into the boiling cauldron.
"Ah! Ah! Grand Master the little one dare not ah ah!"
The child's screams and the sound of him splashing in the boiling water scared the remaining four little eunuchs to the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.
When the talkative little eunuchs were boiled to pieces, Mr. Zhang asked the servants to come over, scooped out five bowls of unidentifiable parts of meat, and served them to several young eunuchs.
A few young eunuchs under 20 didn't even care about boiling them, so they ate them quickly, because no one wanted to be the next pot.
At this time, Grand Master Zhang asked:
"Does anyone know where the treasure toad that Guo Xianren brought back from the Liao Kingdom went?"
Several young eunuchs did not dare to speak out.
So, one of the guards shouted loudly and pointed at Tong Guan among the young eunuchs: "The great minister is questioning you! You are the tall one with a big frame! You speak first!"
Tong Guan's feet were numb: "Go back Go back to Grand Master, I haven't seen any treasure toad"
"Huh?" Master Zhang snorted, and a few guards were about to catch Tong Guan.
On one side, Master Xu hurriedly shouted:
"My lord, my lord, it is true that there is no treasure toad. Today, the little ones picked up a golden chicken the size of an egg in the yard. It probably belonged to Mr. Guo. Because Mr. Guo laughed at us as eunuchs, so the little ones were not angry, so we took the chicken The thing was thrown into the Xuanyu pond."
The other two also quickly kowtowed: "Master, the younger ones dare not lie!"
Tong Guan also hurriedly kowtowed: "Master, you guys are telling the truth!"
Mr. Zhang saw that the four of them were frightened, so he nodded:
"This pavilion believes that you dare not lie. However, you may have heard that Empress Dowager Gao has suddenly contracted a serious illness From now on, this pavilion will share the worries of the emperor inside and outside the palace."
Several young eunuchs only felt buzzing in their ears, and they lost even the last backer.
"This cabinet also wants to know another thing. Come here, lock these four teenagers in the room alone, and this cabinet will question them one by one."
None of the four young eunuchs knew who answered Mr. Zhang's question first.
Only the next day, Tong Guan was left in Wenhua Pavilion, and Master Xu was sent to Kunning Palace of Empress Meng.
The remaining two young eunuchs were sent to serve in the palace of Empress Dowager Gao. Two days later, Empress Dowager Gao died, and because she accidentally broke the ceremony, the two unlucky ones were beaten to death with sticks.
At that time, Empress Meng, who was still very young, was a trouble-free person, but she went to keep watch for Empress Dowager Gao every day, and she didn't order everyone very much, so Master Xu took the opportunity to go to the Wenhua Pavilion to see how Tong Guan was doing.
As soon as I passed by, I heard a few guards passing by chirping:
"Have you heard? Zhang Daxianggong took Taoist Jia to the inner prison, and wanted to ask him for the crime of 'disrespect'."
"Hey? Didn't say that Taoist Jia belonged to Lord Renzong"
"So!"
"However, even if you want to ask for a crime, you need some evidence, right?"
"I heard that he swallowed the most precious treasure from the Liao Kingdom, saying that it is a magical medicine that can give birth to boys if given to women!"
"Huh? Daoshi Jia's wife is already pregnant"
"I don't know, I heard that it was confessed by the people who were sent by Empress Dowager Gao to serve Taoist Jia."
When Master Xu heard this, he was about to leave when he was discovered by a few big men in Wenhua Pavilion who cooked the little eunuch last time. They caught up with Master Xu, two in front and two behind, and carried him into the inner prison.
The inner prison is different from usual, even the movement of individual breathing can be heard clearly.Go in three or four steps from the gate, first kneel down on Tongguan, then follow the torch on the wall, look inside, and at the corner at the end, there is a woman delivering food, kneeling on the ground with her hands and feet on the ground. Going further inside, I saw Guo Xianren kneeling at the door of a cell inside.
In the cell behind him stood Mr. Zhang Daxiang, a tall and thin young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. Both of them are very fair and elegant, but the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy is more round and round.
Master Xu knew that the one who was seventeen or eighteen years old was Zhao Xu, the emperor at that time (the later emperor Zhezong); ).
When Master Zhang saw that his cronies had brought Master Xu here, he called him over.
However, Master Xu couldn't control his feet anymore, so he had to be dragged by several guards.
The Son of Heaven looked at Master Xu dumbly, and then at King Duan.
King Duan cautiously looked at Master Zhang, and asked with a dry throat, "You said that Taoist Jia got the magic medicine from Liao Kingdom?"
Before Master Xu could answer, he heard Zhang Daxianggong say to the emperor:
"Officials, Taoist Jia Jia has been overbearing for a long time. Not only in this matter, but also in food and beverages. The Empress Dowager Gao spoiled her so much that rumors continued among the people. Guo Jing, who is also a Taoist priest in Lingxu Palace, can testify."
Having said that, the old Guo Xianren bowed his waist, crawled low into the cell, and bowed to the emperor a few times.
Zhao Xu had a cold face for a long time:
"I'm just annoyed by what he often says about 'rest and recuperation'. However, you say that he stole the magic medicine, but I don't believe it Grand Master, why did you justdestroy him? !"
Grand Master Zhang glanced behind Old Immortal Guo.
The old Guo Xianren said in an extremely soft and flattering voice:
"Officials, slaves don't dare to lie. The magic medicine is the most precious treasure of the Liao Kingdom secretly given by my grandmother. Liao Xingzong didn't have a son back then, and it was because of this magic medicine that he got a son. As long as the woman takes the magic medicine orally, the inside The attached golden toad will emerge as a male fetus. Even if a woman is pregnant with a daughter, she can also emerge as a male"
Zhao Xu would definitely think it was nonsense if he heard these words normally. But deep in his heart there are two worries:
First, although he was only seventeen years old, he was very afraid of becoming Song Renzong's second: not only did he have no son to succeed to the throne, but he also had no support for his daughter in the future, and was abused to death by his husband's family in the end. (At this time, Empress Meng had already given birth to a princess to Zhao Xu.)
Second, he had previously heard that in order to prevent Taoist Jia from having offspring, the palace also used some decoction methods. Now he heard that Taoist Jia's wife, Gao Shi, was pregnant and had a very good pregnancy image, so he couldn't help but be shocked.
Therefore, Zhao Xu asked the charlatan old Guo Xianren: "For those who cannot be given birth by women, what effect will it have if they use it?"
Immortal Guo hurriedly kowtowed: "Even eunuchs can make women give birth."
Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Ji, who was bowing his head, and was in a daze again: "I will listen to these nonsense for now, and I will deal with you after Gao Shi gives birth."
As a result, half a month later, before Jia Daoshi recovered, he heard that his wife had given birth to a daughter for him.
That night, several big men dragged Master Xu into the inner prison again. At the door of the inner prison, the woman who delivered the food happened to be kneeling, and at the door of the innermost room, there was still the old immortal Guo. Inside the cell, this time, there was only one person, but there was an extra chair, on which Mr. Zhang sat.
Mr. Zhang Daxiang did not immediately ask Master Xu to go in, but asked Guo Xianren:
"Mr. Guo, you and the officials patted your chest and said that if you use the golden toad, you will have a boy?"
"Master, there is indeed such a thing!"
"Now, Jia Yunzhang gave birth to a daughter!"
"Grand Minister, let the villain say that he is actually playing tricks. The villain has evidence!" Guo Xianren kowtowed like garlic: "The dog can testify!"
Having said that, the old Guo Xianren brought out a four-year-old child who could just speak.
"Longyun, report back to Grand Master, is your mother a little brother or a little sister?"
The child said in a milky voice: "The mother gave birth, and she cried loudly. The mother-in-law said, it must be a little brother"
Mr. Zhang Daxiang winked at both sides, and one of the guards picked up the four-year-old child, making a gesture to throw him to death. Guo Xianren quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The dog is not lying, my lord, spare the dog's life?!"
"Then where is the child who is crying loudly?"
Mr. Zhang Daxiang winked at his subordinates, and the four-year-old child stopped in mid-air.
"Inin Huaxi Pavilionhidden in a comedian's house."
"name?"
"Heymother" Old Guo Xianren said out of his wits.
Only then did Mr. Zhang Daxiang help him up from the ground with a smile, and then he carried the four-year-old child over and returned it to him:
"Mr. Guo is tired. Come, send Mr. Guo and his family to Guangzao Hospital for resettlement. Come to think of it, in the future, it will be difficult for you to enter the Lingxu Palace" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com)half empty.
