Next.
For three days in a row, the courtiers were discussing "whether to establish a prince."
Zhao Zhen suppressed all such memorials and refused to issue them. When officials asked for correct memorials, he dismissed them with "we will discuss it another day."
No man is willing to admit that he cannot give birth to a son, let alone today.
at the same time.
The king of Runan County, Zhao Yunrang, brought his son Zhao Zongshi to plead guilty.
The two burst into tears and said that the matter had nothing to do with them. They had always hoped that the official family would give birth to a prince and inherit the throne.
For this pair of spare tires, it is common for them to apologize.
Empress Cao also apologized in the harem, saying that the matter had nothing to do with her.
As long as a minister asked for the establishment of a prince or asked for Zhao Zongshi to be admitted to the palace, Zhao Yunrang, his father and his son and Empress Cao would plead guilty to eliminate suspicion.
Zhao Zhen knew that they were not the instigators behind the scenes, and they also knew that Zhao Zhen knew that they were not the instigators behind the scenes.
But when you should apologize, you still have to apologize.
…
This day, afternoon.
Zhang Mao appeared in front of Zhao Zhen.
"In the official family, Su Yushi told me that there are rumors among the people that the heirs of the official family died early, which is most likely caused by excessive lead and mercury in the palace. After investigation, I found that this is most likely the reason."
"Since the late emperor ascended the throne, in order to keep the house bright and bright, lead, mercury, cinnabar and other materials were used during maintenance. In the eight years since Dazhong Xiangfu was banned, a fire broke out and the palace building was burned down. It took seven years to rebuild. At that time, the official As soon as he ascended the throne, he moved in. Then in the tenth year of Tiansheng's reign, the palace caught fire and all eight palaces in the imperial palace were destroyed. During the reconstruction, lead, mercury and cinnabar were used to prevent mosquitoes and brighten the color. "
"I have consulted several medical officials and found out that mercury is volatile and can easily lead to mental trance and make it extremely difficult to have children. Even if you give birth to children, your body will be very weak and it is very easy to die..."
Zhao Zhen's face turned pale, and he suddenly understood.
No wonder the late emperor and the Eight Great Kings (Zhao Yuanyan) all suffered from madness in their old age.
No wonder the late emperor had six sons who died in infancy, three of his three sons died in infancy, and most of his daughters also died in infancy.
Zhang Maoze went on to say: "I am not completely sure that the late emperor's madness and the early death of his official heirs are related to the lead, mercury, cinnabar and other materials in the palace, but on this matter, I would rather believe it or not!"
Zhao Zhen nodded.
"Please quickly ask the medical officer to check again. In addition, remove all architectural decorations containing lead, mercury, and cinnabar in the palace, and quickly clear out the Chongde Hall, Changchun Hall, Zifu Hall, Huiqing Hall, etc. in the inner court. Eight palaces for the Queen to relocate to!"
When Song Zhenzong was old, he loved elixirs and often took cinnabar.
Zhao Zhen, who was young at that time, was also forced to eat this product. He was very disgusted with this kind of alchemy product.
"I obey!"
Immediately, Zhao Zhen summoned all the princes from the two mansions and three departments to inform them of the harm of the banned poison.
The princes couldn't help being shocked after hearing this.
It is no longer important whether lead and mercury poisoning was the main reason for the early death of Zhao Zhen's heir.
Poisons are bound to harm the body, and comprehensive removal is the key.
Immediately, everyone from the outer court to the inner court and the back garden began to clean up the poisons of lead, mercury and cinnabar.
Medical officers began to conduct tests one after another, and some famous doctors from other places were also invited into the palace by Zhao Zhen.
Three days later.
Several medical officers jointly wrote a testing document.
It is said that the eight newly built palaces are indeed poisonous by lead and mercury, while other places will not be toxic as long as they do not use paint containing lead, mercury and cinnabar during maintenance.
The poisons of lead, mercury, and cinnabar may indeed cause people to become insane and cause difficulty in childbearing or the premature death of their heirs.
None of the medical officials were absolutely certain that lead and mercury poisoning was the cause of Zhao Zhen's childlessness.
But this possibility is extremely high.
Later, the medical officers also took the pulse of Zhao Zhen and the concubines in the harem. Later, they said that this kind of toxin was a chronic toxin, and taking medicine was useless. As long as they were not exposed to such an environment for a long time, the toxin would disappear on its own.
Immediately, the ban launched a large-scale poison removal operation.
The eight palaces have been completely emptied. On the advice of the medical officer, they will not be inhabited until August next year.
Zhao Zhen instantly felt that he had regained his glory and would definitely be able to give birth to a son.
Due to the poisons of lead, mercury, and cinnabar, ministers no longer established princes early.
Whether an official family can have children depends on destiny and the situation in the past few years.
As for the poisons of lead, mercury and cinnabar in the palace, it is no longer possible to hold them accountable. And this time the palace improvement will cost a lot of money.
…
At dusk, after leaving the office.
Su Liang changed back into his long gown, and as soon as he walked to the lane in front of his house, he saw a middle-aged man looking furtively under the wall of his house.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Su Liang scolded and strode over.
The middle-aged man looked at Su Liang and said, "Is this your home?"
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, revealing a big crooked tooth, and he looked very happy.
"yes!"
Su Liang looked around and clenched his fist with his right hand. If he found that the other party had bad intentions, he would take action immediately.
The middle-aged man suddenly showed a bright smile.
He bent over and said respectfully: "Excellent, I am Fang Ya from the west of the city. My name is Fang Daya. Are you willing to sell your house?"
"I won't sell it!" Su Liang didn't expect that he was a bitch, and he pretended to be ready to go home.
"Except for me, this is the best time to sell your house. If you don't sell it today, I'm afraid it won't even be sold for half the price in a few days!"
Hearing this, Su Liang couldn't help but become interested and asked: "Why?"
"Did you know that the palace is currently being purged of lead, mercury, and cinnabar poisons?"
"I've heard a little bit about it." Su Liang nodded.
Fang Daya lowered his voice and said, "According to reliable information, the official family is planning to move the capital?"
"Moving the capital? Impossible!"
"How is it impossible? The palace is full of poisons, which will not only cause the heirs of the official family to die early, but will even endanger their lives. The official family will definitely not live there anymore!"
"Then...where to move?"
"Luoyang City!" Fang Daya said with determination.
"Except the young man, you can make at least 3,000 yuan by selling this house. Then you can go to Luoyang to buy two houses. If you sell it, you will be a millionaire. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Su Liang looked sideways at Fang Daya and asked, "Who did you listen to?"
Fang Daya puffed up his chest and said, "Do you know who is the best remonstrator in the court at the moment who can speak, write, and fight?"
"Could it be Su Liang and Su Jingming, the supervisory censor?" Su Liang said shamelessly.
"That's right! Su Jingming is my best friend. Can you trust his character? He told me about this!" Fang Daya said, patting his chest.
Su Liang resisted the urge to beat him and said: "I also have a bigger house. Do you want to take a look? If the price is right, I will sell it!"
"Okay, let's go there right now!" Fang Daya had a smile on his face.
After a while.
Su Liang took Fang Daya to a very majestic mansion and said, "How much can you give me for this?"
"Kaifeng Mansion?" Fang Daya was confused.
Bang!
Su Liang kicked Fang Daya to the ground and cursed: "I am Su Liang and Su Jingming. If you spread rumors like this, you must be punished by the Kaifeng Mansion!"
…
The next day.
Rumors of moving the capital swept through the entire Bianjing city like the wind.
Some people were so convinced that they were ready to pack their bags and move to Luoyang.
The Kaifeng Mansion quickly posted a notice to refute the rumors, saying that the capital move was purely a rumor, and this was how the incident was put to rest.
I didn't write enough 8,000 words today, and I owe you all 7,000 words in total. I will make up for it, and I will try my best to make it up this month. Good night, everyone. Tomorrow will be another 8,000-word day. It's great!
