What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 78
Participation is also a kind of vote.

Such an unreasonable thing is found to be death. Once Xie Chenyu agrees, he will block his life and use human flesh to take the blame for Xie Chenke.

But obviously not gambling.

Xie Chenyu readily agreed.

That night, I received a total of sixteen packets of arsenic, each weighing half a catty.

There are other poisons mixed in it. If you take a small dose, you will be fine at the time, but your internal organs will gradually break down, as fast as three or four days, as slow as half a month, and people who take the medicine will die one after another.

On the surface, it looks like people died of a strange disease, and they died in large numbers. The imperial physician can easily characterize it as an epidemic.

At that time, by the way, he will "cure diseases and provide disaster relief", and then share weal and woe with the people, Xie Chenke will have everything he wants.

Imagination always goes well.

In fact, it did go well.

Xie Chenyu personally led people to distribute porridge and medicine, and also personally mixed these poisons into every bowl of porridge and every medicine.

In less than three days, the weak and hungry people fell ill one after another.

The only difference is that these victims seem to be dying of illness, and not many actually died, most of them are still dying.

Not many people died until seven or eight days passed.

Xie Chenke was a little anxious.

"Hey, look at what I do. I mixed the medicine in exactly as you said, and the result has nothing to do with me."

Xie Chenyu spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, looking like he was doing something.

Xie Chenke hurriedly comforted him: "Second brother also said casually, not doubting you"

"Supposedly, this poison should have results. How could there be no movement until now? Look at the group of three old ladies. They didn't die after being so sick. What kind of bullshit poison is this?"

"I don't know about this, my brother doesn't understand this"

Xie Chenyu answered irrelevant questions, but in fact, his mind had already flown to Zuixianlou for a few drinks.

The most suitable girl in Zuixian Tower is always the next one.

When you go back next time, should you look for a slim waist or a plump and slightly fat person?

"By the way, there are two new Huren dancers who can make wine from the Western Regions, Huren...", Xie Chenyu fancied.

Xie Chenke called him several times before returning to his senses.

"Second brother asked you what to do next?", the next time the poison is really not easy, and it will be unbearable to do it again.

Xie Chenyu stroked his chin.

"As far as I'm concerned, that's it. These crooked people can't eat much, and it's up to them to live or die."

Xie Chenke frowned lightly, and nodded: "Alright."

I have to say that this younger brother still understands himself, and these people are really getting in the way.

Just do what you say, and the next day, Xie Chenyu continued to give porridge.

If new grain is not enough, old grain will be used to make up, and if there is not enough, bran, sand, etc. will be used.

Lin Lin always made ten carts, 1000 and [-] dans of grain, and distributed porridge outside the city vigorously.

The hungry people are so hungry that they don't care what is good or bad, they get it in the bowl and eat it hungrily.

Some people's teeth were pierced by sand, some people's throats were pulled by bran, some people noticed that the taste was wrong, but no one refused.

There are also silver coins, which are only given to those who are strong and able to return home.

"Have you heard? This is what His Highness the Sixth Highness said. You can go back from the official road after taking the silver and leading the way. Before you leave, you can also get ten white steamed buns and a meal of meat."

If you go back from the official road, you will not be a disaster victim, nor will you be suppressed by the government, and you can continue to farm the land as a good citizen when you go to the local area.

Once the siege is arrested, he is a prisoner, and he will be imprisoned as a pariah.

The young men and women couldn't wait to get the silver and go home.

In less than three days outside the city, half of them are left, old, weak, sick and disabled, unable to crawl back home.

Xie Chenke was very satisfied and patted Lao Liu on the shoulder.

"That's right, what's left is not enough evidence. The gruel is hanging and the herbs are growing. The hall wants to share weal and woe with them."

The previous poison will gradually take effect, and there will be fewer and fewer people here. When the time comes, find a few Zhuangzi to deal with it, and this matter will be over perfectly.

"Second brother, you go, I won't go, it's dirty and smelly"

Hearing that we shared weal and woe, Xie Chenyu slipped faster than a rabbit.

Xie Chenke chuckled: "It doesn't matter if you go or not, second brother goes."

From the end of August to the beginning of September, for more than 20 days, Xie Chenke stayed outside the city in person.

They pitched tents, brought guards, and ate and lived with the victims.

When the courtiers heard about it, they burst into tears.

"The second prince is really kind-hearted and talented."

"Yes, he is actually the eldest son. He is both civil and military. The Taifu and the generals praised him. Such a person is worthy of the crown prince."

"What is the emperor hesitating about?"

"According to me, let's continue to advise and settle the big things early. Otherwise, who knows who will be favored by the emperor, and a newborn baby will be appointed as the prince."

"Old Wang Ge is right, let's continue to advise"

As a result, the papers on the old emperor's imperial case exploded again.

Eighty-nine percent of the ten percent is a remonstrance to make the second prince the crown prince.

Late at night in the imperial study room, the old emperor leaned back on the grand master's chair.

"It's absurd, it's all absurd, I can't make decisions about my country, there is such a thing in the world"

"Hahaha"

He laughed a few times, and the flesh on his stomach shook.

Liu Fu buried his head very low, and said to himself that you should have thought of this day long ago.

At that time, the old man of the Wang Pavilion supported you all the way, and then he controlled the government for many years, and you have been doing nothing to save trouble.

Sit back and relax after being the emperor for so many years.

There is no welfare for the people, no new policies, no dealing with corrupt officials, nothing.

Only enjoy the power of the emperor, singing and dancing, three thousand beauties, resplendent and resplendent, so, isn't she being emptied?

"Liufu, tell me, did I lose?"

"Your majesty, what are you talking about? There is no winner or loser between your own father and son. The second prince is virtuous and polite, and he will definitely love the country and the people in the future."

The old emperor closed his eyes.

-

September [-]th is Double Ninth Day.

The old emperor left the palace in person, took ten carts of rice, eight carts of cloth and cotton-padded clothes, and two carts of herbal medicines and went out of the city in a mighty manner.

He stood beside the tent of the second prince himself, holding his son's hand.

"Folks, this is my son. I have seen all his hard work these days."

"This is my private treasury, and it is my whole heart. I hope you can take care of your health and return to your hometown as soon as possible."

Xie Chenke understood instantly, and held his father's hand back.

"The father forgives the sin, the son is ineffective, and the villagers have not been allowed to go home after so many days"

The eye sockets are moist, the beard is unshaven, and the face is full of vicissitudes.

The old emperor patted his son.

"Don't worry, I know you've done everything you can"

"Father's private treasury is empty. These things belong to me, and I leave them to you now. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations."

Xie Chenke was ecstatic in his heart, and his breath was short of breath.

"Yes, thank you, Father, for your trust"

"Good job, I'll see you later"

The old emperor walked all the way along the official road.

On the side of the road lay frail old people, sallow and emaciated children, and frail women.

He shook the old man's hand and stroked the children's heads.

"You have food and clothing. You all need to be good. I will hand you over to the second child. He is a good boy and will treat you well."

"The emperor's grace, the grassroots are grateful", someone knelt down and shouted.

Most of them were dying people who fell to the ground without saying a word.

There was no surprise in their eyes, but deep despair.
