Chapter 152
After leaving the emperor's bedroom, Jiang Ling said to Li Langzhong who was beside him after leaving the palace gate, "Just now I can see what kind of illness your Majesty is suffering from, and why did you become unconscious?"

The palace is full of the prince's people. Although those people are dressed as internal officials, they hide their aura. They should all be masters of martial arts.

If he hadn't sent people to hide in the dark in advance, made noise, and lured those masters out, Li Langzhong would never have found a chance to feel the emperor's pulse.

Li Langzhong shook his head: "Although your Majesty's dragon body is damaged, he is still not unconscious. I wonder if it was the imperial doctor in the palace who diagnosed and treated His Majesty?"

"Imperial Medical Office, Imperial Physician Zhang." Now that Imperial Physician Zhang has been taken into the East Palace, he is held in Murong Jin's hands, and it is not known whether he is still alive.

Seeing the doubtful look on Li Langzhong's face, Jiang Ling asked, "Does Li Langzhong have doubts in his heart?"

"It's about your Majesty. The villain dare not guess at will, but the villain knows that there is a kind of herbal medicine. Although taking it will not hurt the body, but it will make people fall into a coma. This herbal medicine can be used to make Mabosan. Take this herbal medicine The symptoms are very similar to those of His Majesty, but this is just a conjecture of the villain and cannot be confirmed, it is best to get the dregs of the decoction that His Majesty took, so that the villain can have a way to confirm the conjecture of the villain."

Coming out of the sleeping hall, Jiang Ling's face was gloomy. The crown prince was so bold that he dared to prescribe medicine to His Majesty, and sent someone to control the sleeping hall and Imperial Physician Zhang.

After he sent someone to send Li Langzhong back to his mansion, he said to Mu Feng, "Go to Zhang Xiang's mansion tonight, and ask Zhang Xiang to find a way to contact the imperial concubine. If you want to get the medicine residue, only she can do it." arrive."

The fifth prince was murdered. Although the imperial concubine has no evidence to prove that the death of the fifth prince is related to Zhaoyang Palace and the prince, she only needs to think deeply about it. Who in the court wants the fifth prince to die the most? There must have been speculation about the murderer, but there was no evidence.

The fifth prince's nanny was poisoned to death, and the nanny's family was also killed. The clues have been cut off, and there is no way to find out. The fifth prince has been dead for more than ten days. No abnormalities were found.

After she recovered from her illness, she found a way to leave the palace and went to Zhang Song's mansion, asking Zhang Song to help search for evidence of the murder of the fifth prince.

When Jiang Ling came out of the palace, Murong Jin waited outside the palace. Those old officials were still kneeling outside the palace. Most of those old officials were old. If something happened today, the succession ceremony might not be held on time.

"Gu promised the general that Gu has done what he said, so the general should also keep his promise and persuade those veterans to leave for Gu?"

Jiang Ling nodded in agreement, and was about to go to the Xuanzheng Hall to persuade Zhang Song and a group of old officials.

But at this moment, General Shen of the patrol battalion rushed to report: "Your Highness, the hungry people have gathered a crowd to make trouble on the street. The goods and injured the shopkeeper, and now the shopkeepers of the whole street are crowding at the head of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, asking the governor to punish the hungry people who caused trouble, and also demanding compensation for their losses."

"Hungry people make trouble, and your patrol battalion just arrests them. Why do you need to report on trivial matters?"

Murong Jin pinched the center of his brows, his brows were furrowed tightly, and his face was worried. If it wasn't for Jiang Ling's presence, he would have scolded Shen Liang with a dark face to relieve his anger.

He was busy all day long, everyone came back and asked him about everything, seeing that the auspicious time had come, but everyone came to bother him, his heart was restless, the throne was clearly within easy reach, but at this critical moment Don't let him do what he wants.

He even suspected that the good days and auspicious days that Qin Tianjian had tested for him were all bad things, and the gang of Qin Tianjian's trash were not as good as fortune tellers on the street.

Jiang Ling glanced at Shen Liang and said, "They are all good citizens, Your Highness is not embarrassing General Shen."

Only then did Murong Jin's face soften a little, and he said patiently: "What the general said is true, he is not thinking well."

Shen Liang said again: "Your Highness, there are too many hungry people, nearly 3 people, and only a few people make trouble. Most of the hungry people just want to have a full meal. I don't have the heart to hurt them."

"According to the general, what should Gu do?"

Jiang Ling cupped her hands and said, "I think His Highness should go to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen to appease the people in person and persuade them to leave. If the hungry people are left alone, they will be allowed to develop into mobs and disorderly people. When the people rise up, it will definitely become a disaster. "

There are precedents of peasant uprisings in all dynasties. If left unchecked, it will develop into an uncontrollable situation, and may even lead to a rebellion, which will eventually lead to the collapse of a country.

"What about the succession ceremony?" Seeing that he was only one step away from the dragon chair, but he wanted to give up, how could he be reconciled.

I only heard Jiang Ling say again: "Auspicious times and auspicious days can be measured again by the Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites, but those hungry people will not wait. I believe that your highness is virtuous, and I have a choice in my heart. I am willing to personally escort your highness to Jingzhao Mansion. appease the hungry."

Murong Jin had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Forget it, let's go to the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion!"

The situation was more serious than imagined. There were too many hungry people. When Jiang Ling arrived with a team of soldiers and Shen Liang's patrol battalion, the hungry people had grown into a team of tens of thousands of people. They had captured Jingzhao Mansion. The gates of the Zhao Mansion were all taken down, and Mr. Qin, the governor of the mansion, had already been caught by those hungry people.

Prince Murong Jin sat on the chariot, looking at the excited and angry hungry people, he didn't dare to speak at all, he had never been on the battlefield, and he was not proficient in riding and shooting, he only knew some arty poems, how could he see Such a grand occasion.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he even stuttered: "General, Gu, Gu really feels unwell, so I will leave this place to the general and General Shen."

The prince said to the attendants of the East Palace: "Quick, hurry back to the East Palace."

The leading hungry people recognized the prince's chariot and shouted loudly: "This is the prince's chariot. It is him. As the prince, he doesn't care about the lives of our people and refuses to allocate money and rice for disaster relief. As a result, half of the people in our village were starved to death."

"Stop him, don't let the prince run away, it's him, my wife and child starved to death for three whole days, and died of starvation." The eight-foot man was so excited that he couldn't make a sound.

"Yes, the drought also brought epidemic diseases. My parents and sister had no money to see a doctor, and they all died of illness in the end."

"I can't live anymore anyway, I'm rebellious, catch him, catch the crown prince!"

The crowd was so loud and deafening, Murong Jin panicked and fled in despair. Those hungry people were fighting, and quickly rushed in all directions to the prince's car. Those people's anger, public complaints, and soldiers from the patrol battalion couldn't stop them. Only Murong Jin shouted loudly: "General, save me!"

Jiang Ling galloped his horse and rushed out. No one could see how he made the move. The silver long sword in his hand shone with a dazzling cold light, and the sword lay across the neck of the leader.

"Attacking an official of the imperial court and intending to murder the prince is a crime of genocide. The money and rice grains for disaster relief have been allocated to the state capitals. The homeless can live in Wan'an Temple. There is porridge there. If you are stubborn, insist on staying here If you make trouble, none of the soldiers under this general will agree."

The prince is indeed hateful, if he hadn't ignored it and allowed the disaster to develop into the current situation, the current situation would not have occurred.

But Jiang Ling promised His Majesty that he would protect the Great Yong River and Mountains, so he would definitely solve the hidden danger of the hungry people in front of His Majesty, and when His Majesty woke up, he would return him a stable country and a peaceful society.

The soldiers led by Mu Feng also quickly controlled the hungry people who took the lead in the martial arts, and then they put down their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground: "We believe in the general, the general is the God of War in the Great Yong Kingdom, is he right? will lie to us."
