Kou Zhun turned his head, glanced around everyone's faces, gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe... it's more terrifying than rebellion..."
When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback.
Then his face changed again and again.
In the Song Dynasty, rebellion was certainly a terrible thing.
But it is not uncommon.
From the beginning of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin’s accession to the throne, until now, in the 59 years, rebellions have occurred one after another, and after careful calculation, there have been more than 30 (non-authors, historical records, there are as many as 400 rebellions in the Song Dynasty). Thirty-nine times).
Whether it is the civil and military officials in the court, or the Li people in the countryside, they have long been used to it.
But something more terrifying than rebellion is really terrible.
No one doubts the authenticity of Kou Zhun's words, and Kou Zhun's status and temperament are not enough to deceive them with lies.
Wang Shu turned his head sullenly, and told his wife and son: "You go to the wing of the mansion and rest first."
Wang Kou knew that Wang Shu had political affairs to discuss next, and that she was not good at staying as a woman, so he nodded and prepared to leave.
On the contrary, Wang Shu's son Wang Yuan was arguing and insisting to stay.
When Wang Shu treated his son, he didn't have a good face. When Wang Yuan was making noisy, he just calmed his face and said coldly.
Wang Yuan immediately ran away with his tail sandwiched between them.
After Wang Kou and Wang Yuan left, Zhou Huaizheng also dismissed the eunuch who followed him.
In the main hall of the Kou Mansion, Kou Zhun, Li Di, Wang Shu, Wang Zeng, Yang Yi, Yang Chongxun, Zhou Huaizheng and others remained.
Wang Shu closed the door, walked quickly to Kou Zhun, and said in a deep voice, "Father-in-law, what happened?"
Kou Zhun glanced at him and said quietly: "What do you think of that kid Kou Ji?"
Wang Shu was taken aback.
Everyone present was also taken aback.
They don't understand why Kou Zhun mentioned Kou Ji for no reason.
Wang Shu frowned and said, "Father-in-law, why are you mentioning him well? What happened?"
Kou Zhun stared at him and said seriously: "I want to know what you think of him."
Wang Shu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Some cleverness, a little responsibility..."
"Gone?"
"Gone!"
Kou Zhun shook his head and asked, "Then do you think he will fool the old man?"
Wang Shu was taken aback, frowning and said, "Is the father-in-law's worries related to Kou Ji?"
Kou Zhun stared, "You answer the old man's question first."
Wang Shu pondered: "Returning to his father-in-law, my son-in-law feels that although Kou Ji has been tricky, he will never lie to you."
"Boom!"
Kou Zhun patted his hand on the table and wailed: "I hope the old man, he is coaxing the old man this time."
Wang Shu's eyes widened, and he glanced at each other, and said in shock: "Is it really related to Kou Ji?"
Li Di is straight-tempered and doesn't like roundabouts. He directly asked: "Brother Kou, don't betray you. What happened to you that worried you so much? Let's talk about it."
Kou Zhun fumbled out the jade box containing the elixir from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Zhou Huaizheng was stunned, "The elixir?"
Kou Zhun nodded, looked at everyone, and said word by word: "Someone told the old man that this thing is poisonous..."
Everyone was shocked.
Are you kidding me
If this thing is really poisonous, it would be terrible.
In the entire Song Dynasty, there were not many people who were qualified to take the elixir.
However, these few people affected the lifeblood of Song Dynasty.
The safety of each of them determines the safety of Da Song.
Li Di said stiffly: "Brother Kou, are you playing with us?"
Wang Zeng and others nodded in agreement.
Kou Zhun sighed quietly: "The man also told the old man that people who take elixir for a long time will cause dizziness, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, insomnia, heart palpitations..."
Every time Kou Zhun said a symptom, Li Di and others' faces changed.
When Kou Zhun said his last sentence, the faces of everyone present turned blue.
"It is said that the more serious... the children are difficult to prosper..."
Li Di was dumbfounded and froze in place.
Zhou Huaizheng weakened his legs and slumped on the ground.
Only Wang Zeng said in a trembled voice: "Kou Xianggong, the hearsay... not to be believed..."
Wang Zeng said so, but did he really think so in his heart
Every symptom mentioned by Kou Zhun has been fulfilled in the officials. They believed in their hearts, but they didn't.
The reason for this is that it is too involved.
Li Di was reminded by Wang Zeng's voice and slowly recovered. He trembled and said: "Brother Kou, the officials have been taking elixir for more than ten years... The crown prince has been taking elixir for a long time for four years...
Do you know what your words mean? "
What does it mean
It means that if the four words'children are difficult to prosper' are fulfilled on the crown prince, the official line of the Zhao family may be the last.
Throughout the ages, Chinese people have attached great importance to the inheritance of offspring.
If the Ninth-Five Supreme Master of the official family knew that he might be extinct, God would know what crazy things he would do.
Kou Zhun grimaced and said, "The old man knows the stakes in it, so he deceived himself not to believe this. But tomorrow, the old man is afraid that he won't believe it."
Wang Shu widened his eyes in vain and said anxiously: "Kou Ji has a way to verify that the elixir is poisonous?"
None of the people present were fools. They had passed Kou Zhun's words long ago and knew that the person who told Kou Zhun that the elixir was poisonous was Kou Ji.
Kou Zhun shook his head and whispered: "No..."
Everyone was taken aback.
Before they could react, they heard Kou Zhun say again: "He didn't tell the old man how to verify that this elixir is poisonous..."
Kou Zhun looked at everyone and said faintly, "But he told the old man that he would also refine this thing. The reason why the old man made a lot of effort to let the people in the house go out to the major pharmacies at night is to help him prepare alchemy. s things."
It is Li Di and others who are very knowledgeable and don't know what to say at this moment.
They stood in place one by one, like wood, motionless, with a very strange look on their faces.
There is suffering, there is shock, there is stunned, there is panic...
The main hall of Kou Mansion was quiet, and the needles fell.
It was also quiet in Sijun Garden.
Kou Ji slept very sweetly and even kicked the quilt a few times.
He didn't know that, in order to calm Kou Zhun's anger, what he said casually turned several important officials in the court into wooden people.
At night, slipping away quietly.
It's four hours later.
A group of important ministers headed by Kou Zhun walked into the Sijun Garden.
Everyone's faces were cold, without any expression.
Kou Zhong followed them, and behind Kou Zhong, followed by a group of servants of the Kou Mansion holding medicinal materials, Danding, cinnabar and so on.
