Suddenly I understood why her handwriting was so ugly, because her hands were short and there was not much room for her to use them. However, many ladies were shorter than her and had shorter hands, but they still wrote good handwriting.
It seems that it is still due to lack of exercise, the flexibility of the hands can't keep up, and they are a little stiff.
"Your Majesty." A voice suddenly came from outside the house, it was Chang Qing.
Since that time when he was disowned, he has behaved a lot. Now, with Fang Shu's identity, he will not deliberately embarrass him in private, or delay him from coming to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Shangshu Xingbu asks to see you."
Fang Shu panicked and almost spilled the teacup in her hand. She looked at the emperor with a cry for help.
What is Shangshu Xingbu doing here
Did you discover something
People with a guilty conscience always like to be so skeptical.
Yin Fei stood up, beckoned her to sit over, Fang Shu put down her teacup, walked over to sit where he had been sitting just now, and took a pen to review the memorial.
In fact, I couldn't read a single word, and I had to pretend to be calm while reading, "Come in."
Try to imitate the emperor's tone and demeanor, and being with the emperor is not short, and imitating him looks good, and you can't tell it unless you look closely.
The door curtain was pushed aside, and a man in a crimson official robe walked in, bowed respectfully, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Fang Shu thought to herself that everyone called it differently, but on the surface she was not ambiguous, and said, "Get up."
Shangshu Xingbu stood up with a hesitant expression, "Your Majesty..."
"What's wrong?" Fang Shu waited for his next words.
Xing Bu Shangshu's face was not very good-looking, "Another crazy one."
The work of the Hanlin Academy is very easy, such as drafting edicts, compiling history books, giving lectures at banquets, etc., basically sitting in the room all day, outlining boring documents stroke by stroke.
When we first came here, everyone was still very fresh. After staying here for a while, many people have begun to complain in private, overqualified, wronged and so on.
This time the second place sighed, "Writing and writing every day, my hands are broken."
Someone started, Tanhua followed, "Yeah, didn't you say that the court is short of talents? Why didn't you arrange for us to go to other positions?"
Strictly speaking, the Hanlin Academy is only a place of study, not a formal official position.
He poked the champion next to him, "It's fine with us, why are you still here?"
Song Changsheng's stroke was suddenly pulled out of the old man by him, and his good mood dissipated instantly. He frowned, put down his pen and stood up, "I'm going to the latrine."
Move the chair away, stagger your body and walk out from the gap.
There was disdain in a lowered voice behind him, "Isn't it just relying on the Song family's power and influence, what are you dragging?"
"If the Song family is gone, do you think the number one scholar can still be him?"
Song Changsheng heard it, but he only paused, then quickened his pace, and left from here. Before leaving, he also heard the words that he suspected that there was something wrong with him and went to the latrine every day.
He didn't care, he didn't go to the latrine, he just found a room by himself, and after he went in, he first checked to see if anyone was there, and if no one came to the door immediately, he hid inside to endure his discomfort.
There were bursts of blackness in front of his eyes, as if a wild beast suddenly rushed towards him, engulfing him in the darkness instantly.
boom!
The book at hand was knocked off by him, and the shelf not far away was almost knocked down by him.
He is having a hard time.
Like falling into an ice cave, cold from head to toe, from outside to inside.
It hurts! It hurts!
There must be ten thousand ants crawling inside his body, eating his flesh, blood and tendons.
It was worse than death. He had experienced it countless times, but he still couldn't bear it.
Compared with death, death seems to be a relief.
Something flowed out of his nose, tick-tock, and fell on the wooden board. He took out a veil from his pocket and covered his nose. When he took it off again, the veil was red in large patches.
He had a nosebleed, it wasn't the first time, and he seemed to be used to it.
Cold sweat broke out on his body, and he didn't care about it. He suddenly opened his mouth and bit his wrist. There were already many marks on the wrist, which were dense and dense. Obviously, it was not the first time he had done this.
He knew that it was good to get through it, get through this wave, and he would not commit another crime in a short time.
Get over it, get through it.
There was only this thought in my mind, at first it was like a kindling, and then it continued to magnify, magnify, and magnify again, as if time had stopped, the surroundings were quiet, only the kindling was changing.
After a long time, the pain as if the body was split in half gradually disappeared, and his sanity recovered.
He rolled his eyes, and his vision returned.
Standing up, tidying up the messy place and the blood-stained boards, a thought popped into my mind.
Carpe diem, who knows how long you can live, and treat each day as if it were your last, so that every day you pass, you will feel that you have earned a day.
Fang Shu was following Shangshu Xingbu, and the emperor saw the crazy man locked in the dungeon, separated by a layer of cages, screaming and hitting his head against the wall, it was extremely terrifying.
To be honest, she was intimidated.
Xingbu Shangshu said that more than a hundred corrupt officials in this batch have gone crazy one after another, and this is one of the few remaining.
Because the emperor attached great importance to them, he personally interrogated each of them, and basically knew something about everyone's situation.
"This is the magistrate of Liangzhou. When he went to the brothel, he was drunk by a woman. Since then, he has been inseparable from the wine. He has to drink it every once in a while. If he doesn't drink it, his whole body will feel uncomfortable. That wine is called a gentleman. Liquor is very famous in Liangzhou."
He pointed to another person, "This is the prefect of Quanzhou. He was also involved in the corruption case, similar to the prefect of Liangzhou. He ate a dish called bamboo roast pork at a banquet, and he has been away since then." Don’t eat it, once you don’t eat it, it’s like winning a gamble, and you can’t wait to die immediately.”
He pointed to the others, "Everyone had a similar experience. At the beginning, they could still buy them from the market. Later, they became less and less expensive, and finally they didn't sell them at all, and only let them do things."
"I couldn't control myself when I became addicted, and the man behind the scenes was also very cunning. At first, I only asked them to do small things, such as taking off a piece of clothing, turning around three times, etc. Later, I started to introduce friends, and then I started to let them do it. Something bad happened."
Shangshu Xingbu sighed, "The most important thing is that this thing is colorless and odorless, even silver needles can't be tested, so it's impossible to guard against."
Fang Shu frowned, wondering if it was her illusion, she always felt that this routine was familiar, put it in wine or vegetables, it was addictive consumption, colorless and tasteless, even silver needles couldn't work it out.
Afraid of making a mistake, Fang Shu observed everyone. Basically, everyone was thin, with slumped faces and dull eyes. She was already half sure.
This is drug use!
Once you don't smoke, you will hurt yourself and want to die, which is clearly prohibited by the country in the previous life.
Are there drugs in this day and age
Didn't it come later
No, no, I remember someone told me that there was Wushisan a long time ago, which is actually ecstasy.
And this thing is disgraceful, maybe it blocked the news, or changed it to another name, so no one in the future will know about it, but in fact it has always existed.
how so
How powerful the spread of drugs is. There was a period of history in the previous life where the country was defeated because of drugs.
It really can destroy a country.
Fang Shu turned to look at the emperor, the emperor's eyes were cold, what was he thinking
Coming out of the dungeon and returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the two of them were silent all the way, without saying a word, they didn't know what to say at all, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was terrifying.
"Is it serious?" Fang Shu tried to speak after a while.
"Yeah." Yin Fei didn't hide anything, "They're only a small number, and I don't know if any other ministers have been poisoned."
He took this as poison
It's almost the same, although it has two meanings, but the pronunciation is the same.
"If you don't have an attack, it's no different from a normal person, and you can't tell it by ordinary means." Speaking of this, his face was solemn.
The more than 100 officials detained this time are like a precedent, and they are the first batch of discoveries. Other than that, this kind of thing has never happened before.
That is to say, this kind of poison has only recently started to spread, and it should not have spread very far, but in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, he still took measures.
First, record the time and symptoms of the attack.
Second, spies were sent out, and if the same situation happened to officials and their family members, they would be shot to death.
Third, block known distribution channels, brothels and taverns, etc.
Fourth, break into the enemy's interior.
If he can't prevent it like this, even if he risks being called a tyrant by the world, he must get rid of the root cause.
"Actually..." Fang Shu felt a little guilty, "I know a little about this."
She doesn't understand even if she says she understands it, she just knows a few symptoms.
"People who have been poisoned will be very energetic, hyperactive, have hallucinations, lose their temper, be impulsive, don't like to eat, lose weight, and have dull eyes." Fang Shu added, "I read it in the book, the book That's what it says."
Yin Fei raised her eyebrows, "And then?"
"Don't look at me with such suspicious eyes." Feeling even more guilty, she was afraid that the emperor would ask her, which book
"Also." Considering him, "Let's put aside my affairs and deal with state affairs first."
There is a country before the family, and the country is stable before the family is stable. She is very sensible about this.
Yin Fei smiled, holding her face, she could actually smile nicely, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
If there are no accidents, it can be resolved, but I am afraid of accidents, the chances are not high, and he is not just taking office.
Now his foundation is stable. If his father controls 40% of the court, then he controls 70% of the court, and the rest will not be able to make waves, so there is nothing to worry about.
To be honest, with his words, Fang Shu felt more at ease.
In fact, I was still a little worried, and reminded him, "This thing is more terrifying than you imagined, so you must not let your guard down."
"En." Yin Fei nodded without denying it.
He had seen it with his own eyes, and he was by his side when recording it, so he naturally knew the horror of this poison.
Speaking of which, the dungeon was damp and dark, with a musty smell. After smelling it, it seemed to have infected her.
Fang Shu thought she was being rejected, so she quickly explained, "I have injuries on my body, so I can't take a bath."
There is no desire to survive at all, "sour."
Fang Shu: "..."
