Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 374 errands
There are many ways to kill a person, the easiest way is to stab someone to death, or to poison him. In short, all kinds of murder methods are acceptable.

However, if the person to be killed is the emperor, things will be a little difficult to handle.Some conventional means are useless, so only some other means can be adopted.

Among them, the simplest and most effective is to lure the emperor to indulge in alchemy.

There are many smart people in this world, and many people know that taking pills is not good.But history proves that many emperors died after taking pills.

Others Zhu Houzhao didn't know, but Emperor Yongzheng, who was criticized a lot in history, was addicted to elixir when he was old, and then died.

Zhu Houzhao has always been very, very careful about this, and is also very, very wary.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, this is a low-cost, low-cost method that is very suitable for murdering the emperor.

As long as the emperor is lured to be addicted to longevity, he can be made to take the elixir.As for whether to add medicine to the elixir or the elixir itself is a problem.This is hard to say.

If the emperor does not believe in longevity, he can also start from other aspects, such as other medicines, the most common of which are aphrodisiacs.

Present beauties to the emperor, and let the emperor take aphrodisiacs.Any kind of strong body can't stand it.

Beauty and longevity are the only ways to attract the emperor.

Not to mention other emperors, how about being as wise as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?So what if he is as wise as Tang Taizong?Far away is Qin Shihuang.

Isn't your own father the same?He was coaxed by a mere eunuch, and after the eunuch died, he still believed that their family had a heavenly book.

As long as people have desires, they are easy to be used, everyone is the same.

How could Zhu Houzhao not worry about such a Taoist priest appearing now?
What makes Zhu Houzhao feel that there is a conspiracy is that this time it is actually a Taoist priest who is in charge of giving birth.

This is a weakness, a weakness that Zhu Houzhao cannot participate in or stop.

Once Zhu Houzhao participates or stops, it can be understood that Zhu Houzhao is afraid that his father will give birth to a son.what is this?
The old man will not be happy, there is a trick of separating the emperor's father and son.Don't think that this kind of thing is uncommon, and it is not unprecedented in history.

The most famous one should be Emperor Jiajing's Two Dragons Don't Meet Each other.

The simplest reason is to exclude all the people the emperor trusts, only trust himself, and then be good at power and mess up the government.

This is something every powerful official will do, so don't say how loyal Wei Zhongxian and the others are.Killing the emperor's children, or killing the emperor's favorite concubines, can be done.Even though they were loyal to the emperor, they first wanted to consolidate their power.

It is not so much that they are loyal to the emperor as they are loyal to their own rights.

My father only has my mother, so it is basically impossible to start with beauty.Even if it is a woman sent to the palace, it is useless.Mom's power is definitely different from ordinary people.Not only will the powerful minister fail to achieve his goal, but he will offend the queen instead.

If you start with Changsheng, the risk factor is too high, and it is easy to attract opposition from courtiers, especially yourself, the prince.

With his current strength, there are not many people who dare to offend him.

So they chose the perspective of having a child, which is obviously Sima Zhao's heart, and this is to exclude themselves.How could Zhu Houzhao not doubt it?
Glancing at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao said directly, "Bring Yang Lian to me."

As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while.

I have raised Yang Lian for so long, and I have always let him take the lead. This time it is time for him to take the lead.

Zhu Houzhao wants to see if Yang Lian can do things?

If you can, you can consider getting him on the table; if you can't, let him go and replace him as soon as possible.

This kind of chance should not be great, because when I was in Yangzhou, I had already inspected Yang Lian in detail, this is a talented person.

Of course, in terms of organizational structure, we need to continue to investigate.This time is a good opportunity.

Yang Lian came very quickly.

He didn't know what His Royal Highness had summoned him, but he didn't dare to delay.

For Yang Lian, His Royal Highness is everything to him.

Because of the promotion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has the status he has today.Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, his status and power will inevitably rise.

So Yang Lian did not dare to neglect the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Walking into Xianyang Palace, Yang Lian lifted up her clothes and knelt down on the ground, "Slave Yang Lian, see Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and glanced at Yang Lian.

At this time, Yang Lian was serving in a red eunuch, and she was actually charming.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and Yang Lian seemed to have drawn her eyebrows and blusher, looking more and more like a woman.

However, Yang Lian is an eunuch herself, and Zhu Houzhao can't interfere with anything, and even suspects that Yang Lian is gay.

However, Zhu Houzhao was not prepared to intervene in this kind of matter.He is an enlightened monarch, and the eunuchs can let him go if they want to engage in homosexuality.

In Zhu Houzhao's impression, the ancient times did not seem to be very disgusted with homosexuality, especially in the aristocratic circle.It seems to be quite common for the top nobles to raise some child prostitutes.Scholars raise book boys, sometimes it is child molestation.

But Zhu Houzhao had no interest in this aspect, so he didn't explore it.

"Okay, get up!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.

When Yang Lian stood up, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "I have an errand for you to handle."

Yang Lian said quickly: "Please give orders from His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "The palace summoned a Taoist priest named Qing Yezi, who was recommended by Qin Yong, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. I want you to investigate these two people. I want to know about this Qing Yezi. Where did you come from, what have you done before? How did you get on line with Qin Yong, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple?"

"As for this Qin Yong, I need to know where he is from and where he studied? Who is his teacher? I will check it out."

"If this errand is done well, I will reward you a lot. If you fail the errand, you know what the consequences will be."

When Yang Lian heard this, she was shocked.He knew that His Royal Highness was not only serious this time, but also ruthless.

Obviously this is a big deal.In the past, His Royal Highness basically did not have such an attitude when explaining errands. This is the first time.

If you can't do it well, then it is estimated that the lightest punishment is to be dismissed from office; if you fail, you may lose your head.

Thinking of this, Yang Lian quickly knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness, this servant understands, and will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations. This servant will definitely handle the errand well."
