The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 519 The Gu that controls people

On weekdays, Zhao Yao, His Highness the King of Han, would never go to court in advance and take the initiative to do so. This time, he actually went to court one day early, which shocked all the ministers.

Before going to court, the ministers couldn't help but look up at the sky to see if the sun was coming out in the west today. Unfortunately, it was cloudy today and they did not see the sun.

It has been sunny these past few days. Could it be that it is cloudy today because His Highness took the initiative and went to court early?

When they went to court, the ministers saw His Highness the King of Han for the first time with an angry face and a murderous aura all over his body. His Highness the King of Han has always been cheerful and it is rare to see him angry. This is the first time they have seen His Highness look so angry.

When Wen Daoji and Zheng Qian saw Zhao Yao's angry face, they guessed that something big must have happened, otherwise His Highness would not be so angry.

Zhao Yao asked Tong Xi to tell the ministers the ingredients of the magic pill and the effects of these ingredients.

The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty indeed put a lot of thought into making the magic elixir and used many precious medicinal materials. These medicinal herbs can and do make people feel better and prolong their lives. However, the most important medicinal ingredients in the elixir are not these, but the medicinal hibiscus that can make people younger.

Medicinal hibiscus is not hibiscus, it can be said that it has nothing to do with hibiscus. It is not a flower or a medicinal material, but a poison.

This voodoo was not called Medicine Lotus at first, but later it was called "Medicine Lotus" for some reason. When most people hear the name "Medicinal Hibiscus", their first reaction is hibiscus flower, or a kind of medicinal material, and they will never think of Gu.

Medicinal hibiscus is not an ordinary voodoo, it is fed with various poisons. When people eat it, their health will become better and their appearance will become younger.

If you eat it for a long time, people will indeed become younger and younger, but eventually they will become crazy. Becoming a madman is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that it can control people and make people become its puppets. This is the ultimate goal of the Southern Wei people.

First, they used magic pills to control dignitaries in various places and let these powerful people do things for them, so that they could later control the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the royal families of Annan, Johor and other countries.

Fortunately, Zhao Yao discovered it early. Currently, not many magical pills have flowed into the inland areas of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The most important thing is that the people who buy it take it for a short time. If Zhao Yao discovered it three months later, the poison would have taken root in the bodies of those who had taken the magic pill, and would not be able to get rid of it.

Now those who have eaten the magic pill already have the poison in their bodies, but the poison is very small and has not been raised by human flesh and blood, so it will not control people for the time being. At this time, you can also find ways to remove the poison from the human body. If you wait until three months later, the medicine stone will be useless by then unless the mother voodoo is killed.

When the ministers heard that there was poison in the magic elixir, they were all frightened. At the same time, I am glad that they did not take the magic pill.

The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty sent magical pills to some officials in important positions in the court, hoping to control them and then achieve the purpose of controlling Zhao Yao's small court. However, Zheng Qian and Wen Daoji are very cautious and do not take medicine given by outsiders. Besides, they don’t believe in any magic pill.

Zhao Yao once warned officials not to easily believe in Lingnan's miracle medicine. Although there are many medicines in Lingnan that have amazing effects, the ingredients in these medicines are not necessarily safe, because Lingnan people like to put some strange things in when making medicines, and sometimes they even add poison.

Of course, not all poisons are bad. There are many voodoos that are good, can treat people's diseases, and are also good for people's health. However, you cannot guarantee that the poison in the medicine you get from outsiders is good.

The officials of Zhao Yao's small court heard a lot about Gu. They were very afraid of Gu and were very jealous.

At the end of the story, when they learned that the poison in the magic elixir could make people crazy and control people, the ministers' faces were full of horror.

A few days ago, Zhao Yao suddenly ordered a crackdown on the magic pill. Many ministers felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill and wondered what kind of trouble a magic pill could cause. Now it seems that His Highness the King of Han had the foresight to realize that the magic pill would cause serious harm to people.

Zhao Yao once again issued an order in the morning to strictly prohibit the magic pill. Anyone who sells or buys magic pills will be beheaded. Anyone who conceals or covers the purchase or sale of magic pills will be put in jail.

If the ministers of the DPRK have relatives and friends who buy the elixir and take the initiative to hand over the elixir to the Tingwei Mansion, they can be exempted from guilt. If in the future it is discovered that an official concealed the purchase of the magic elixir from his family members, the official will be directly demoted and his family members will be beheaded in public display.

The ministers all knew the methods of His Highness the King of Han. When he said beheading, he meant beheading, and it was by no means scary.

After the court, many ministers ran home to ask their families if they had secretly bought the magic pill. If there is, hand it over quickly.

When I was young, the people of the entire Marsh Mansion knew that there was poison in the magic elixir, which was harmful to people and should not be eaten. Once you eat it, you will become crazy.

Zhao Yao also specially issued a reward order. If you find someone selling or buying magic pills, you can report it to the Yamen. After verification, you will be rewarded by the Yamen.

When the people heard this order, their faces showed excitement. They can't wait to find these people who sell and eat magic pills.

With the common people watching everywhere, it would not be so easy for the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty to continue selling magic pills.

Zhao Yao was worried that the Southern Wei people would continue to use magic pills to harm people in foreign countries such as Annan and Piao. He wrote a very solemn letter to the emperors of these foreign countries, telling them in detail about the dangers of magic pills. , and hope they can crack down on Shendan. Finally, he warned these foreign countries that the magic pill was a forbidden drug in Dazhou. If someone from their country was found to be selling magic pills to Dazhou, then don't blame him for being unkind. Anyone who sells or buys magical pills during the Great Zhou Dynasty will be beheaded, and it will be useless for anyone to plead for mercy. Finally, he reminded these foreigners to carefully consider whether the divine elixir or the Great Zhou was more important. He didn't want the magic pill to affect their relationship. After writing letters to these foreign countries, Zhao Yao deliberately held a maritime military parade in the waters of Marsh Mansion. This naval parade deeply shocked Annan, Johor and other countries and made them understand that they must not offend the young His Highness the King of Han, let alone go against His Highness the Han King, otherwise they would not end well.

These foreign countries have stated that they will also list the magical elixir as a banned drug and severely crack down on the magical elixir. They will never let the magical elixir affect their friendly relations with Zhou Dynasty and His Highness the King of Han.

The emperor who was far away in the capital received a secret letter from Zhao Yao two days ago and learned that the magic pill contained poison that could control people. He was very angry and immediately issued an order to classify the magic pill as a banned drug.

In the imperial study, the emperor was discussing the matter with He Xiang and Liu Taishi.

"Your Majesty, we can no longer let the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty do whatever they want." He Xiang frowned, his expression very solemn, "What they have done over the years has become more and more rampant, and now they are even bolder in making pills to control people. They This is to destroy Dazhou."

"Fortunately, His Highness the King of Han was keen and discovered in time that there was something wrong with the magic pill, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous." Taishi Liu was extremely disgusted with the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty, "Your Majesty, we can no longer keep the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty."

"We can't let them rub our noses in our faces anymore." The emperor had turned a blind eye to the Southern Wei people over the years, not because he was afraid of them, but because of the secret behind them. "It's also time to deal with them."

"If His Highness the King of Han had not noticed in time and prevented more magical pills from flowing into the capital, I am afraid that many ministers would have taken the magical pills now. After a long time, they would have become puppets in the hands of the Southern Wei people." He Xiangbu I can believe that most of the ministers in the DPRK were controlled by the Southern Wei people.

"Your Majesty, the power of the Southern Wei people in recent years cannot be underestimated." Taishi Liu reminded the emperor, "Don't let yourself get away with it again."

The emperor said: "Everything is under my control."

When Taishi Liu heard what the emperor said, he mocked unceremoniously: "So, the matter of the magic pill this time is also under your control, the emperor."

The smile on the emperor's face froze.

He Xiang said: "Obviously, the matter of the magic pill this time is not under the emperor's control."

"That's right, this time the magic pill happened thanks to His Highness the King of Han. If it weren't for His Highness the King of Han, maybe the emperor would have taken the magic pill." Taishi Liu said in a sharp tone, "Your Majesty, if this is what you said, everything is under control. No wonder the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty can make magic pills to control people."

The emperor heard Taishi Liu and He Xiang laughing at him and glared at them.

"The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty can make magical elixirs that control people. Next, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty will probably make something even more powerful, which may shake the power of the Zhou Dynasty." Taishi Liu said sarcastically, "Then the Emperor will have to say something more Is everything as expected? Did you let the Southern Wei people do this on purpose? "

Sun Kui, who was standing aside, heard Taishi Liu mocking the emperor unceremoniously, and quickly took a peek at the emperor. Seeing that the emperor's face was so wonderful, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly lowered his head as if he didn't see anything.

He Xiang nodded in agreement: "How can the people of Southern Wei hide things from the emperor? Of course everything is within the emperor's expectation."

Taishi Liu continued to ridicule: "The emperor really has a plan."

Being ridiculed by Taishi Liu and others, the emperor lost his face and said, "That's enough for you."

"Your Majesty, I did not agree with the retention of the remnants of the Southern Wei Dynasty at the beginning. They must be exterminated, otherwise they will do things that will endanger the country of Great Zhou. Now it is confirmed that I was right."

He Xiang continued what Liu Taishi said: "Your Majesty, the big fish behind the Southern Wei people is very important, but I don't think it is as important as the great Zhou Dynasty."

"Over the years, people from the Southern Wei Dynasty have penetrated into various places, even in foreign countries such as the Western Regions and Annan." Taishi Liu's face became serious. "If we let them continue to develop, I'm afraid they will rebel before long."

"Old Liu, do you think too highly of the Southern Wei people, or do you underestimate me?"

"What about the magic pill this time?"

"If Xiao Shi doesn't inform me, I will know about it two days later." The emperor was not speaking harshly, but he was telling the truth. If Zhao Yao didn't notice about the magic pill this time and informed the emperor, the emperor would know about it in two days.

Taishi Liu and He Xiang looked unbelieving.

"I will take care of the affairs of the Southern Wei people, so you two don't have to worry." The emperor raised his lips and smiled meaningfully, "Also, don't underestimate Lao Ba." Lao Ba is the one he will deal with. The most important chess piece of the Southern Wei people.
