Chapter 202 Please help me, Lord Hou!
The death of the late emperor was a big blow to him.
Originally, the emperor was once a minister and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Other positions might be replaced bit by bit, but the position of the inner court should be replaced immediately. Just like Chen Ju back then, Xiao Zheng should also go to Tailing to guard the tomb for the late emperor.
However, because the new emperor is still young and the inner court is not very likely to experience great turmoil, Xiao Zheng can stay in the palace for a few more years, but after the new emperor takes power, he probably still cannot escape the fate of guarding the imperial tomb.
So Eunuch Xiao has been very haggard recently.
When Li Xin found the eunuch, he naturally could not have disappeared. He immediately welcomed Li Xin in person and served tea in the main hall. Li Xin had no intention of sitting with him and drinking tea. He asked straight to the point.
"Eunuch Xiao, the people from the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain, have been locked up by me. In the past few days, I have checked the prescriptions that Zhang Daozheng of the Tianshi Mansion prescribed for the late emperor in recent years in the Imperial Hospital, but I have found no problems."
Li Xin frowned and continued to ask: "Eunuch Xiao has been serving the late emperor for the past few years. Do you know that Zhang Daozheng has used other medicine for the late emperor?"
Xiao Zheng was already a little haggard, and his face became even worse when he heard this.
He naturally knew that the emperor had entered the pill, but if this pill really hurt His Majesty, then those around them would probably have been guilty of dereliction of duty.
He lowered his head slightly and pondered for a long time.
It is naturally inappropriate to lie, otherwise it would be as simple as dereliction of duty.
"The Marquis, the people from the Tianshi Mansion, in addition to giving medicine to the late emperor, also received a pill."
He said in a deep voice: "But there should be no problem with this pill. Every time before entering the pill, there are people from the eunuch who try the pill."
Marquis Jing'an's heart moved. After asking Xiao Zheng in detail about the effect of the dream pill this time, he frowned slightly.
To put it bluntly, this thing is similar to sleeping pills. It was useful at the beginning, but when you take too much, the effect will naturally become worse and worse. So later, in order to be able to fall asleep, Emperor Taikang would go from one to two. By the ninth year of Taikang, even if he took three or four Dream Pills, it would be difficult for him to sleep again.
Originally, insomnia should be caused by anxiety, etc. If you take it slowly, you won’t have any major problems. At most, you will just be lazy for a few years. Behind the Jin Dynasty, even if the emperor stays in the door and doesn’t go out for a few years, there will be no major problems.
However, in those years, the southwest and northern borders were hidden problems. There was also a powerful figure like Li Xin in the court. Emperor Taikang did not dare to rest for a day, and it was all about this pill to fall asleep.
It was fine for one or two months, but after two or three years, my body naturally collapsed.
Coupled with the so-called prophecy, he kept suggesting himself, and finally he could no longer hold on at the end of the nine years of Taikang and soon passed away.
After all, the emperor himself has to bear a large part of the responsibility for this matter. Although the people of the Tianshi Mansion also have responsibilities, they are only part of the joint and several liability.
Thinking of this, Li Xin had no expression on his face.
The "truth" he found was reasonable and unexpected. If this was true, Zhang Daozheng, who gave medicine to the emperor, was dead, and he really didn't know how to hold the Tianshi Mansion responsible.
Li Xin sat in the eunuch's supervisory hall, frowned and pondered about the matter of the Tianshi Mansion. Xiao Zheng, who was beside him, took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision.
He looked around, then lowered his head and whispered to Li Xin: "Marty..."
Li Xin woke up from his thoughts and glanced at the eunuch.
"Eunuch Xiao has something else?"
Xiao Zheng has been in charge of the inner court for more than ten years and has seen great storms. However, at this time, his voice still trembled slightly.
"Mr. Marquis, I don't want to guard the imperial tomb..."
He spoke a little.
"I'm only 35 years old this year and can still do things in the palace..."
