Chapter 697 The Wind Rises 13
“People who are poisoned will gradually weaken in March, and in the last half of the month, they will show the characteristics of typhoid fever.”
Chai Xirong gave everyone the details Explanation: "The symptoms of typhoid fever manifested in March Ning are not visible to ordinary doctors."
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin relaxed his brows a little.
The imperial physician probably did not betray him.
Zhao Kuangyin: "Is it possible to solve it?"
Chai Xirong: "Yes. I will prepare an antidote for you right now."
After saying that, he bowed and exited the study.
Liu Hao followed him out and gave space to Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Ke.
Liu Hao didn’t know what the two were discussing.
Anyway, he had secretly reminded Liu Ke and revealed Zhao Guangyi's ambition.
After that, the court and harem were peaceful and nothing happened.
A month later, the emperor's third brother Zhao Guangyi suddenly fell ill.
The imperial physician diagnosed him with wind-cold and prescribed medicine for treatment.
But Zhao Guangyi did not recover from his illness. He dragged his feet and died of the illness half a month later.
The emperor was grieved and angry because of the death of his brother, and began to vent his anger on others.
Many of the palace attendants around Zhao Kuangyin were executed by the emperor, and no one survived.
The imperial physician who initially treated Zhao Guangyi was also killed by Zhao Kuangyin on charges of being a quack doctor who harmed people and did things poorly.
At the same time, the court also went through some major changes.
Many officials were demoted, and some were even imprisoned.
The evidence produced by the emperor is sufficient, and none of these people are innocent.
But the smart people in the court discovered that these officials were very close to Zhao Guangyi.
It can be said that those officials are all members of Zhao Guangyi's faction.
When Zhao Guangyi was still alive, he tried to win over officials in various ways.
Smart people in the court can see Zhao Guangyi's ambition and know that he is interested in that position.
It seems that the emperor couldn't bear Zhao Guangyi's ambition and took action against him.
I just don’t know if Zhao Guangyi really died of illness.
It’s scary to think about it, it’s scary to think about it.
The officials lowered their heads and were extremely honest.
Didn’t you see that the Prime Minister was dismissed from office by the Emperor?
Prime Minister Zhao Pu is the emperor's right-hand assistant and a good friend of the emperor.
The result...
Zhao Kuangyin sighed to Liu Ke: "I didn't expect Zhao Pu to betray me."
Liu Ke: "Human desires are difficult to satisfy."< br>
Zhao Kuangyin: “But I have obviously given him a lot.”
Liu Ke: "He thinks it's not enough."
Zhao Kuangyin sighed.
After a while, Zhao Kuangyin recovered a little and said: "Thanks to Xirang this time, I just don't know how to reward him."
Chai Xirang is already a king. , it is impossible to upgrade the title.
As for real power, Zhao Kuangyin will not give it to him.
money?
Liu Yuyan’s dowry made Zhao Kuangyin drool with envy. How could Chai Xirang care about money?
In the end, Zhao Kuangyin gave Chai Xirang another title.
Not for himself, but for Chai Xirang’s son.
Chai Xirang's eldest son will inherit his title, and his other son can inherit the title.
Chai Xirang did not like staying in Kaifeng, although after the poisoning incident, Zhao Kuangyin canceled the secret monitoring of him.
But Chai Xirang didn't like the days of intrigue in the capital, nor did he like his living brothers pulling him to miss Chai Rong, implying that he asked the Liu family to help them restore the country. Chai Xirang likes to spend time wandering around with his wife.
Not long after, he was the first to propose continuing to go to sea.
Liu Yuyan raised her hands and feet in agreement, and Liu Heng naturally had no objection.
Liu Ke and Zhou Ehuang also agreed, and the children were no longer young. Liu Ke taught the three children internal skills.
As a result, the three children are in good health and will not get sick easily.
The two decided to take their three children to sea together.
Emperor Zhou E didn’t want to stay in the capital because of the existence of Xiaohou.
Xiao Zhouhou recognized Zhou Ehuang.
No, it should be said that she recognized Haruyuki.
Haruyuki, who disappeared inexplicably in the Later Tang Palace, appeared next to a woman who looked very similar to her sister. What was the identity of that woman?
——After arriving in Kaifeng, Zhou Ehuang stopped embarrassing himself and painted his face in a way that did not look like his own.
——Everyone in Kaifeng saw the true appearance of Emperor Zhou E.
Think about who is Zhou Ehuang’s current husband?
He was Zhou Ehuang's original fiancé. If nothing had happened to the Liu family, Zhou Ehuang would have married Liu Ke long ago.
I heard that the two are still childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is definitely better than the relationship with Li Yu.
Xiaohou Hou figured out that the one who died was not his biological sister, but Mrs. Liu.
When Emperor Zhou E asked someone to be her substitute, she ran out of the palace and eloped with Liu Ke.
Little Empress Zhou couldn’t help but feel that her man was not worthy, and Emperor Zhou E cuckolded Li Yu.
But now he and Li Yu have become prisoners, while Liu Ke and Emperor Zhou E are the emperor's most trusted nobles.
How they fought against Liu Ke and Emperor Zhou E.
Even if she revealed the identity of Emperor Zhou E, no one would embarrass Emperor Zhou E.
After all, the Great Zhou Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty was indeed dead.
Instead of offending Emperor Zhou E, it is better to make friends with Emperor Zhou E by virtue of her identity as sister, so that she and Liu Ke will feel guilty towards her and Li Yu, so as to take care of them.
Therefore, Xiao Zhouhou often ran to Liu Mansion.
Emperor Zhou E really didn't like her and Li Yu.
Guilt?
Does not exist.
Not to mention that she was forced to break off her engagement with Liu Ke and marry into the palace because Xiao Zhou's mother was behind it. Li Yu only married a wife but was also intimate with other women. Emperor Zhou E would not Treat Li Yu as your husband.
You said that Li Yu is the emperor, and it is normal to have three palaces and six courtyards?
For Emperor Zhou E, she didn't care whether her husband was an emperor or an ordinary person, she only cared that her husband was loyal to her.
She is the only woman in Liu Ke's life, so naturally she will be sincere to Liu Ke all his life.
Emperor Zhou E would not help Little Empress Zhou and Li Yu. She was really annoyed by Little Empress Zhou.
Go to sea, and you won’t have to see Xiao Zhouhou’s face every day.
Naturally, Haruyuki followed Zhou Ehuang. Wherever Zhou Ehuang went, she also went.
She also had to help Zhou Ehuang take care of his three children.
It can be said that the three children of the Liu family were raised by Haruyuki.
The three children are also very close to her.
Zhao Kuangyin personally sent the Liu family out of the city. He was reluctant to leave the Liu family.
After taking the throne, the only person who could interact with him in a normal manner was Liu Ke.
Zhao Kuangyin: "Third brother, how long will it take for you to come back?"
Liu Ke looked at his younger brother.
Liu Tiao calculated the voyage and said: "Three to five years."
Zhao Kuangyin: "So long? Can't you come back earlier?"
Liu Heng took out a drawing and thrust it into Zhao Kuangyin's hand.
Zhao Kuangyin asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Liu Hierng: "The chart to the location of the gold mine."
"What?" Zhao Kuangyin was shocked. He didn't care about retaining Liu Ke and focused on the sea chart.
