According to Queen Mother Yisun, Zhu Qizhen and the two princes were obviously poisoned.
As for the person who poisoned him, he could only be the emperor's man.
It's just that Jin Ying, the current chief minister of Shangshan, is Sun's own confidant. It makes no sense to rush to blame the emperor before the matter is found out.
From beginning to end, Zhu Qiyu never placed anyone in Shangshan Prison. Your grandson, your own cronies, can't manage the Shang Shan Superintendent well. It's because you have no ability. How can you blame the emperor?
Zhu Qiyu had been preparing for this day for a long time, so he had always adopted an attitude of indifference and staying away from Shangshan Supervisor and Imperial Hospital.
Why does Zhu Qiyu have anything to say now? What does Shangshan Supervisor and these wastes from Taiyuan Hospital have to do with me? Even if you go through the eighteen generations of these people's ancestors, there won't be any one who is my confidant.
If you want to accuse me of secretly instigating, there is no way to beat me to it.
This bitter pill can only be swallowed by ourselves.
Imperial doctors may not understand whether mixing mercury, lead powder and cinnabar to paint walls will evaporate, cause poisoning, or harm people's health.
Even if an imperial physician knew it, he would definitely not tell it.
In the same way, there is Hongluo Tan. The imperial doctors may not know that charcoal gas can damage the body, but no imperial doctor would ever tell the emperor about it.
The human nature and psychology involved here are too complex.
Zhu Qiyu saluted the Queen Mother Sun, and then went to the bedside to visit his eldest brother with a concerned look on his face.
I saw Zhu Qizhen, who was sleeping deeply, with a face as white as paper and a frown on his face. He coughed a few times from time to time, giving people a feeling of chest tightness and being unable to cough up.
Zhu Qiyu also frowned when he saw this, so he had to tuck his eldest brother into bed, then turned around and motioned for everyone to go to the outer room to talk in detail.
Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian, Empress Zhou, plus Zhu Qiyu and Concubine Wu, went out to the outer room together, took their seats, and began to discuss how to solve the problem.
Zhu Qizhen and the two princes suddenly became like this, and Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian were already anxious.
The top priority is to calm the two people's emotions first.
Zhu Qiyu was the first to ask: "The imperial doctors at Tai Hospital are all leaders in medicine, and all of them have the ability to rejuvenate. I see that they have been discussing it together for a long time. Do you have any explanation?"
This sentence almost made Queen Mother Sun furious. You admire the doctors at the Imperial Hospital so much, so why do you keep avoiding them like snakes and scorpions?
Now they need to treat Emperor Gongrang's illness. It doesn't matter if they can't be cured, but I think of all these imperial doctors' wonderful skills in rejuvenating him.
Then Empress Dowager Sun replied with a cold face: "They said that the Emperor's foundation was damaged due to three years of hunting in the north outside the Great Wall in the bitter cold. In addition, he worked all the way from Oara to the capital, so his health was weak.
Before entering the city, the Wala mission rioted and was frightened again. I even caught wind and cold last night. All kinds of factors combined to cause today's illness. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like a thread. According to the words of the imperial physician, as long as the eldest brother rests more, and then the imperial physician uses his skillful hands and takes good care of himself, he will be able to recover naturally. Please also ask the Queen Mother to help you." Don’t worry too much.”
Queen Mother Sun nodded, and then fell silent.
Empress Qian answered: "It's just that the second prince and the third prince also suffer from chest tightness, shortness of breath, fever and vomiting. The doctors also said that the two princes were young and frail, and the weather was hot and cold, and they suddenly fell from the body. The original Yonghe Palace moved to Nangong and was unable to adapt, which is why such symptoms appeared.
But I don’t understand why His Majesty, the second prince, and the third prince had the same symptoms and fell ill on the same day? "
Zhu Qiyu asked with concern: "What about the emperor's sister-in-law's wishes?"
Queen Qian replied: "I thought it was vomiting and fever caused by eating something."
Before Queen Qian could say anything more, Zhu Qiyu immediately ordered: "Come here, capture Jin Ying and all the palace residents of Shangshang Shanjian, and escort them to the Jinyi Guards for imprisonment."
Zhu Qiyu is not sloppy at all. Don’t you, Queen Qian, think someone has poisoned you? Okay, no problem. First, send all the palace members of Shangshan Prison to the Imperial Prison and let the Jinyi Guards interrogate them carefully. The results will be known on the same day.
If Jin Yiwei is asked to do anything else, they may not be able to do it. But when it comes to extracting confessions through torture, Jin Yiwei never disappoints.
Before Queen Qian could speak, Queen Mother Sun became anxious. Are you kidding? I finally have a confidant like Jin Ying, but you are going to throw me into prison. Once inside, he was suspected of poisoning Emperor Gongrang. Even if he survived the torture and came out alive, he would never be reused again.
"Emperor, wait a minute. Your sister-in-law is also concerned but is in trouble. The palace servants of Shangshan Supervisor have been serving your brother for more than ten years and have never made any mistakes. Jin Ying has been with me for decades and has always been loyal and conscientious.
He will never do anything detrimental to your brother, and I am willing to guarantee it.
As for the illnesses of your eldest brother and the two princes, I think the doctor’s words are reasonable.
Vomiting and fever are also common symptoms. It is not impossible for three people to fall ill at the same time.
Since the imperial doctor has said that none of the three people's lives are in danger, I thought it would be better to observe and observe first.
If it can get better after being nursed back to health, then everyone will be happy. If he still doesn't get better, it won't be too late for him to be interrogated by Jin Yiwei again. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded. Since Empress Dowager Sun no longer wanted to delve deeper, he was happy to just go with the flow.
So Zhu Qiyu ordered to Xing'an: "First collect all the things that the eldest brother and the prince have eaten and used in the past two days and give them to the imperial doctor for examination.
The hospital should not neglect it. If the eldest brother's health does not improve, these things will be evidence.
From now on, all the people in Nangong must serve you more carefully. If there is another problem, you know what I will do. The only thing waiting for you is to kill me with a stick. "
Xing'an quickly accepted the order and thanked him with fear.
After appeasing Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian and Empress Zhou, Zhu Qiyu accompanied the concubine out of the bedroom.
Qianxue and Su Xi were seen standing in front of the palace, pretending to 'reprimand' Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong and Wang Qin.
Anyway, something happened to Emperor Gongrang and the prince, so he still had to reprimand the four most trusted eunuchs who were in charge of the power of the inner court, just to show off to others.
However, now the power of the inner court and harem is not in the hands of the Queen Mother, nor in the hands of the Queen, but is scattered in the hands of more than a dozen eunuchs.
Therefore, even Queen Qian and Queen Zhou did not dare to offend Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin easily.
Only Qianxue and Su Xi, the two princesses who were extremely doted on by the emperor, dared to 'reprimand' the four of them.
However, Qianxue and Su Xi were just pretending. The two princesses seemed to be very fierce to outsiders, but in fact, they just said that they were not hurting or itching, and they just dealt with it casually.
Zhu Qiyu called from the side, and the two princesses left Wang Cheng and others and followed the emperor.
Not long after Zhu Qiyu left, the news spread among the cabinet and various government offices.
The ministers were panic-stricken and gathered spontaneously to come to Nangong to pay their respects.
Especially the officials at the middle and lower levels generally thought that the emperor could not bear it anymore and Chao Gong asked the emperor and the prince to take action.
