East Palace.
For example, after Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxu were crowned kings, they should live in separate houses.
But Lao Zhu did not give the three of them separate houses, but still lived together.
Now that Zhu Yunxi was named the emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi did not move out of the East Palace.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen's room was filled with sorrow.
Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are both sitting there.
The faces of the two of them were uglier than the other.
Huang Zicheng fainted on the spot in the court. Although he was not punished for it, there was no doubt that he was disgraced.
Everyone knows what happened this time.
The final twist was completely unexpected.
"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it. All of this was your Majesty's deliberate arrangement. It's ridiculous that we thought that this move could bring down King Nan, but we didn't expect that it would help him become the crown prince. What a big joke."
Until now, Huang Zicheng still has not recovered from the failure.
He still couldn't accept that his painstaking planning had caused such a big joke.
"I didn't expect this. I didn't expect that Grandpa Huang had already made up his mind and decided to make him the grandson of the emperor. He won't be defeated without fighting! Mr. Huang doesn't have to blame himself too much."
Zhu Yunwen comforted him with words.
His face was also very ugly.
"There is news from the palace. Tomorrow His Majesty will officially issue an order to let the emperor's grandson supervise the country." Qitai said.
Lao Zhu had no intention of concealing this news, but instead wanted to release it in advance so that everyone could be prepared, so he could know.
"It's ridiculous, so ridiculous. A seven-year-old child is imprisoned in some country. Does he know how to handle government affairs? Can he read memorials?"
Huang Zicheng patted the armchair angrily.
Qi Tai glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "My grandson is young and talented. Although he is only seven years old, his academic ability has exceeded that of an adult. Reading memorials may be difficult for an ordinary seven-year-old child. For him, it should be It’s pretty easy.”
Huang Zicheng suddenly stopped talking.
What Qitai said is true.
Zhu Yunxuan could write stunning poems, how could he not be able to read the memorial?
Zhu Yunwen was dejected and unwilling.
He had always regarded the position of prince as his own, but he did not expect that it would be snatched away by others.
"Gentlemen, is there anything else you can do?"
He refused to give up and wanted to regain his position as crown prince.
Qi Tai shook his head: "Now that his favor is rising, there is nothing we can do in a short period of time. The only solution now is to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity."
"That may not be the case." Huang Zicheng said: "Supervising the country is not an easy task. The government affairs are heavy. I don't believe that a seven-year-old child like him can have so much energy to handle them all."
"If he can't finish the memorial, or makes repeated mistakes, then our meeting will come."
"This is a good idea." Qi Tai pondered for a while and said, "I have a way. We can mobilize all civil and military officials to get everyone to submit more memorials."
"For example, if he is appointed as the crown prince this time, everyone can submit a congratulatory form, or even one person can submit two or three copies."
"If you pick some more things, don't worry about big or small things. Everyone should be more diligent and report more."
"We drown it with memorials."
Huang Zicheng's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good idea."
"Since the abolition of the Prime Minister in this dynasty, His Majesty has been in charge."
"Your Majesty is diligent in political affairs. He reads hundreds of memorials and handles countless affairs every day. He never rests unless he is bedridden."
"Now that His Majesty is old and frail, and his health is not as good as before, he has ordered his grandson to supervise the country and handle political affairs."
"But after all, he is only a seven-year-old baby. How can he read through hundreds of memorials?"
"When the time comes, he will be unable to handle political affairs and even make big mistakes because of it. We can use this to ask His Majesty to change the crown prince."
Zhu Yunwen was still a little uneasy and asked: "Is this strategy really feasible?"
Huang Zicheng said: "In the current situation, this is the only way. We always have to give it a try."
"This is a millstone. It will take time. Your Highness, Prince Heng, must remain calm and wait slowly before proceeding."
Zhu Yunwen nodded, but he had other thoughts in his mind.
He couldn't wait, and he didn't want to wait.
Seeing Zhu Yunwen become the crown prince, Zhu Yunwen's heart felt like a knife.
A vicious thought slowly came to his mind.
However, Zhu Yunwen did not express this idea.
This is inconsistent with his image of benevolence and righteousness.
Moreover, Zhu Yunwen knew very well that Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai would not be able to support him in doing this.
Although the two supported him, as great Confucian scholars, they had their own bottom line.
After the two left, Zhu Yunwen also quietly left the house.
When he came out this time, he put on ordinary clothes and didn't even bring an entourage.
Naturally, no one recognized Zhu Yunwen on the street, but he still paid great attention and covered half of his face with a scarf.
Soon, Zhu Yunwen walked into a pharmacy.
That's right!
He wanted to buy poison and poison Zhu Yunxian to death.
Although Zhu Yunzhen is his half-brother, the relationship between the two has always been very deep.
To outsiders, they are good brothers.
Zhu Yunwen even knelt in front of Lao Zhu for two hours in order to plead for Zhu Yunxu.
This deep and profound love made many people sigh.
What a good brother!
However, once Zhu Yunwen's fundamental interests were involved, his viciousness became apparent.
The deep brotherly love and respect between brothers and sisters are just performances for outsiders to see.
The death of Qin King Zhu Xi inspired him.
Poisoning is the simplest method and the most effective.
Zhu Yunzhen and he are brothers. They still live in the same mansion and see each other every day.
If he wanted to poison him, there would be plenty of opportunities.
As for what happened afterwards, just find a servant to take the blame.
Zhu Ping was poisoned to death, and Grandpa Huang did not investigate further.
Who knows if there is someone behind those maids?
Zhu Yunwen never thought at all that Zhu Yunwen was not Zhu Xi. Based on Lao Zhu's love for him, if there was any accident to Zhu Yunwen, Lao Zhu would dig into it.
Not to mention that Zhu Yunzhen is still the prince.
Once something goes wrong, the government and the public will be shocked, and it is definitely not comparable to Qin Wang Zhu Ping.
Under strict investigation, Zhu Yunwen could not escape.
But now he just wants to kill Zhu Yunxian, and he takes it for granted that the consequences of poisoning him will be similar to poisoning King Zhu Ping of Qin.
"Shop, buy me some raw nux vomica."
Zhu Yunwen walked to the counter and said in a deep voice.
Nux vomica is a traditional Chinese medicine with cold nature and bitter taste. It has the effects of unblocking meridians and dispersing stagnation, reducing swelling and relieving pain.
It can be used to treat bruises, fractures, and sore throats.
Similarly, strychnos vomica is highly poisonous and overdose can cause tremors, convulsions, difficulty breathing, and even coma.
Therefore, the medicine must be strictly processed.
Another name for strychnos vomica is diuretic.
The meaning of pulling machine is that after eating it, people will convulse and die like a puppet on strings.
To put it bluntly, it will be an ugly death.
Of course, this depends on the amount of medicine taken.
If you eat less, you may still survive.
According to legend, Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was poisoned to death by the drug.
The three major poisons since ancient times are heartbroken grass, crane's crown red, and motivating medicine.
Zhu Yunwen felt that if he bought Gutgrass and Hedinghong, it would inevitably attract attention.
But buying nux vomica, which is itself a drug, will not attract too much attention.
The production methods at this time were still very primitive, and many people would buy raw nux vomica and cook it themselves at home.
The court didn't care about it.
The store owner quickly took it out and weighed it. Zhu Yunwen paid the money and hurried out.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go out, a person came in.
When the man saw Zhu Yunwen, his eyes suddenly widened.
"His Royal Highness Prince Heng?"
