In the Daming Palace, a bright figure sat upright, with a brush in his hand, lit with cinnabar, looking at the book in his hand, frowning, and did not write for a long time.
At this moment, Dai Quan walked in with small steps, still holding the daily ginseng tea in his hand, and his eyes swept over the helmsman of the great Kangshan - Emperor Mingkang without leaving a trace.
Seeing that Emperor Mingkan's face was not very good, his steps became slower and slower, and in the end he could hardly hear the sound.
After standing there for three or two minutes, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you still have to take care of your dragon body! This is the ginseng tea that the Queen has just sent!"
Emperor Mingkang slowly raised his head, his face regained its calmness again, and glanced at Dai Quan who was bowing down, "Where did you go just now, you idiot? I just called for a long time and no one was seen! Feeling like this, you Dogs are even busier than me!"
Hearing Emperor Mingkang's words, Dai Quan trembled, handed the tray to the little eunuch beside him, and quickly knelt on the ground, "A slave is punished by death! A slave is punished by death!"
Through his observation just now, he knew that Emperor Mingkang was in a bad mood now. At this time, if he wanted to avoid suffering, he could only admit his mistake. After serving Emperor Mingkang for these years, he knew the truth that the emperor could only let his hair down. .
Seeing Dai Quan kneeling on the ground, not even daring to take a breath, Emperor Mingkang had no intention of punishing him. He put the memorial in his hand aside, picked up another one, and asked while reading it : "Okay! Get up! What did you do just now?"
Dai Quan did not dare to hesitate, stood up and replied respectfully: "It's Mr. Xu Yuantu who discovered a strange thing, but he was afraid that the emperor would blame him for his strange power, so he didn't dare to report it. So he asked the servants to go over and discuss how to report it to the emperor. Report back!"
Emperor Mingkang paused with the ink pen in his hand, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes, "What's the matter?"
Dai Quan did not dare to hide anything and told everything about what happened before, "It is said that an old woman from the Ning Mansion suddenly died suddenly. Her death was extremely miserable. The internal guards were present at the time and witnessed the incident. After that, It’s crazy!”
When Emperor Mingkang heard this, he simply put down the pen in his hand and said in surprise: "Are you crazy?"
Dai Quan nodded lightly, then stopped talking and stood quietly below, waiting for Emperor Mingkang's instructions.
Emperor Mingkang was sitting on the dragon chair, also lost in thought. He tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he asked again: "How miserable is the death, so that it scares the inner guards crazy?"
Dai Quan thought for a while and replied: "According to reports from other spies in Ning Mansion, they said that while they were drinking, their heads suddenly exploded without warning, and red and white things splashed all over the room. The inner guards were too close. , and even got a mouthful of it!"
After hearing Dai Quan's answer, Emperor Mingkang's face turned pale. He felt that the bowl of tofu pudding he had just eaten for dinner suddenly lost its aroma, and his stomach twitched, making him feel nauseated.
Now he understands why the inner guard was so frightened that he almost vomited. As a person involved, it would be strange if nothing happened.
After a long while, Emperor Mingkang asked again: "What's the reason?"
Dai Quan was still respectful as usual, "We haven't found out yet. The matter involves the Duke's mansion and the internal guards. Mr. Xu didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet, and the progress was slow!"
After hearing Dai Quan's answer, Emperor Mingkang chuckled and his eyes became a little deep. He looked at Dai Quan, who had his head lowered, and then looked to the northeast of Daming Palace - Longshou Palace. There was an old guy living there. !
"Okay, there's no need to say nice things to him. I'm afraid Xu Yuantu doesn't dare to investigate!"
Dai Quan lowered his head and did not dare to answer, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. Xu Yuantu had plotted against him, but he still remembered it!
The hall became quiet, with only the flickering of candlelight and lamps from time to time adding a ray of sound to the empty and silent hall.
"I know this, please go down first!"
Emperor Mingkang's eyes returned to the memorial on Table Mountain again, and he waved Dai Quan to retreat.
Dai Quan responded respectfully, bowed and left.
After a while, Emperor Mingkang suddenly said: "Songde, how on earth did that old woman die?"
Faintly, a dark shadow flashed across the hall, and a man appeared in front of Emperor Mingkang. He was Emperor Mingkang's personal guard and was responsible for protecting his life.
As the emperor's personal guard, his martial arts skills are extraordinary and he is extremely good at assassination and concealment. He is extremely familiar with the structure of the human body.
"Back to the emperor, human bones are very strong. The force that the skull can withstand is about three to four hundred kilograms, give or take no more than a hundred kilograms. But to smash a person's bones into pieces, it would take a huge force of thousands of kilograms. Just listen. Dai Quan said that it was really unbelievable that his head was blown open without any warning!"
"If the actual situation is really as Dai Quan said, it is definitely not man-made. How could anyone in the world have the strength of a thousand catties! Maybe the problem occurs in the food. If the thunderbolts used in the army are eaten by mistake, they can It’s what caused this horrific effect!”
After hearing Songde's explanation, Emperor Mingkang stopped talking because there was no better explanation.
Perhaps as Song De said, he accidentally ate some explosive things, which led to this tragedy. He immediately stopped paying attention to it, but from that day on, Emperor Mingkang became more careful when eating. This is It’s a digression, let’s not mention it for now.
Time flies by, and since that incident, no one has come to Jia Qi's place anymore, and Jia Qi's life has once again returned to peace.
He often went to the bookstore to sit and gain a lot of information unexpectedly. During this period, Dakang seemed to be unstable. There seemed to be friction in Mobei. There were also conflicts in Lingnan. There were water bandits in Yangzhou and they were intercepted again. There are more than a dozen ships of official salt. There has been no rain in Shandong so far this year, and a severe drought is coming; in southern Fujian, the White Lotus Sect seems to be resurgent; in Fujian, Japanese pirates are rampant and often come ashore to plunder.
For a time, Dakang was surrounded by chaos, making people feel as if they had returned to the time when the Supreme Emperor abdicated the throne to make way for the next generation. Dakang was also in the same situation at that time. There was no one in Beijing who was spreading rumors that the current sage was not worthy of his position. This caused many disasters, and people were talking about it for a while.
For these, Jia Qi goes in through the left ear and out through the right ear. Staying out of the situation, he could see some things very clearly. There must be someone behind all of this who was deliberately promoting it, but he never said a word about these things and just quietly did his own thing.
As Dahuangting continued to advance, he could feel that the warm current in his body became bigger and bigger. From the beginning, it was like a wisp of thread, and now when he looked inside, it seemed like a stream.
There are also two more methods of attack, sword intention and sword energy. Sword intention can destroy the mind, and sword energy can break through gold and jade.
The ancients often said that fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March. This March season is not friendly to the north. When Daiyu came to Beijing, she was still wearing a snow fox cloak, which can be seen.
On this day, as soon as Xichun finished listening to the story, she was called over by Jia Mu, saying that a new sister had come from Suzhou. Xichun reluctantly changed her clothes and led her to Xifu. , because she knew that she would not be able to come back if she did not stay in Xifu for ten days and a half.
Then she wanted to hear Jia Qi's story again, but she couldn't. What she just heard was so exciting! Isn’t she unwilling? I am also a little unhappy with this girl from Yangzhou!
