Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 220 The Poisoned Traitor
Zhao Bensan was painting the portrait on the side. The emperor didn't let him participate in it just now, but asked him to start painting on the table prepared by the side.

The activities of the grand ceremony were not limited to these. After the emperor had a drink with all the courtiers, the singing and dancing activities of the ceremony began.

The officials were finally able to relax and found their own seats not far away. They began to drink ice water comfortably in their mouths while watching the carefully prepared song and dance performance.

All of a sudden, the singing and dancing were peaceful, and the scene was extremely harmonious. If they didn't know the inside story, several people would really suspect that there was something wrong with their eyes.

The emperor on the high platform didn't care. Instead, he chatted happily with the elders in the court hall, as if he had completely forgotten what happened today.

At this time, the leaders of various departments of the imperial court also put down their serious expressions in the court hall, and chatted with the officials they had made friends with in a low voice.

"What the hell is this?"

Seeing such a scene, Zhu Yipin couldn't help asking Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen spread his hands to express that he didn't know, and he didn't have an answer to this question.

I don't know how long it took, the song and dance performance in the center of the square slowly came to an end, and the ice cubes stored in wooden barrels in various places in the venue were exhausted.

Zhu Yipin looked at the people around him, counted the time in his mind, and reminded again: "Xiaochen's time is almost here!"

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "This is a rare experience in life, not everyone can have it!"

Zhu Yipin couldn't help but pat Zhang Chen. If he had a choice, he would rather not have this kind of experience.

At this moment, several courtiers, whose Highness was laughing loudly, yelled at the same time, covered their stomachs with their hands and began to hum.

The people around looked at these people, and before they could greet them with concern, they felt their stomachs suddenly cramping.

People fell down one after another, and for a while, many civil and military officials were still clutching their stomachs and humming.

The bosses on the high platform were startled by such a sudden situation, and they all panicked when they saw the fallen officials.

After a while, all the military officers who could stand up in the field were military officers with profound internal skills, but most of them were pale and obviously weak.

In the guards, Zhang Chen hurriedly sent a voice transmission order when he saw this situation: "Pretend to be a little bit, don't wear clothes at this time!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yipin and Bai Zhantang showed a painful look instantly, which shocked the surrounding guards.

Zhang Chen was full of black lines, and he should not look for them for such things in the future, otherwise, he would be scared to death before the enemy was dealt with.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair clenched his fists even more at this moment, and the veins on his face were bulging, obviously giving people a painful expression. The emperor resisted the pain and shouted angrily: "What's going on?"

Gong Xifacai and the other guards didn't answer, because they were biting hard to resist the force of the medicine. Although they didn't fall down, they were too weak to answer the emperor's words.

At this time, among the many courtiers standing on his head, several figures suddenly stood up, looking at the surrounding courtiers expressionlessly, and the leader even looked at the emperor on the dragon chair from a distance.

All the courtiers who fell to the ground looked at them in astonishment. In this situation, even if they were stupid, they knew that something serious had happened.

"What a rebellious minister and traitor! How dare you make trouble in my hall."

Enduring the pain, the emperor yelled at His Highness's traitor. The sound spread far away, but everyone could clearly hear the weakness in it.

Zhang Chen arched his body, leaned close to Zhu Yipin and said, "What the hell did you do? Why does Your Majesty feel that you are really poisoned?"

Zhu Yipin turned around and let himself hide in the crowd and whispered in Zhang Chen's ear: "Linglingfa and I added something to the ice cube, which can trigger the toxicity in the ice cube, but after that It will be neutralized by herbs."

Only then did Zhang Chen understand that the courtiers were really poisoned, and the antidote given by Zhu Yipin and Ling Lingfa was also real, but it was just to let people feel the power of the poison first, and then the antidote could play its role .

Zhang Chen peeked at the high platform, although he didn't see the emperor's face, the weakness in his voice just now couldn't be faked.

Zhu Yipin saw Zhang Chen's actions clearly, and then explained: "This is His Majesty's own decision!"

Zhang Chen nodded slightly, this emperor is really a ruthless character, he actually dared to test poison himself.

While Zhang Chen was thinking wildly, those people outside the hall suddenly started to move, and they controlled the whole audience in just a short moment.

"Didn't think so, my dear majesty!"

A courtier under the high platform said with a smile.

This person was extremely rampant, and the expression of ignoring everyone in the arena caused the expression of everyone who fell to the ground to change.

"Censor Zhang Guang? What exactly do you want to do?"

A servant who fell on the ground said while clutching his aching stomach.

"What am I going to do? Isn't it obvious? Look at the Hunjun on the high platform. Since he ascended the throne, our Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil. Today, I Zhang Guang is to kill the Hunjun and give my Daming a bright future!"

Although everyone felt it, Zhang Guang's reckless declaration still frightened them.

Zhang Guang smiled indifferently, he still understood the psychology of these courtiers, as long as they were given the seat under their buttocks, they didn't mind who was on the stage.

"You gang of rebellious ministers and thieves, I think I treat you well, but you dare to rebel!"

The emperor reprimanded with a pale face.

Zhang Guang shook his head indifferently, looked at the emperor who barely stood up, and said with a sneer without respect, "Will you wait for me? Then what do I want from your Zhu family?"

The emperor's face turned livid in an instant. This was a great insult to him as an emperor, and it was an insult to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor just wanted to continue to reprimand, but Foyin, with his frivolous and unsteady steps, supported the emperor's body and advised him pointedly: "Your Majesty's most urgent task is to take them down, and it is the best policy to make calculations later. "

The emperor seemed to have heard the words of Foyin, and then said to the guards in the hall: "Come here, take down these rebels for me!"

The surrounding guards did not move at all, but turned around to look at a person who came out of the corner, and the respectful God shouted: "My lord!"

Cao Zhengchun, who practiced martial arts to ward off poison, looked at the smiling figures of the palace guards, and the eunuch's unique sharp voice called out: "Cao Shaoqin?"

Cao Shaoqin laughed, and asked the masked master behind him to touch the acupoints of the people on the high platform, and then walked to Cao Zhengchun's side.

"Master, you are well these days!"

Cao Shaoqin patted Cao Zhengchun on the shoulder and said.

Cao Zhengchun had a puzzled look on his face. He knew Cao Shaoqin's identity a long time ago, but he just used him to let him stay in Dongchang.

Not long ago, after he received a secret report from Yang Yuxuan, he already knew that Cao Shaoqin would not be able to stay, and the emperor could no longer hold back his anger towards the same boat meeting.

Cao Shaoqin was no longer useful, so he captured him early and locked him in the heavily guarded dungeon.
