"Mother, official, are you two watching your concubine be humiliated like this?"
After Fang Meiren shouted at Kou Ji, before Kou Ji could speak, she shouted at Princess Li and Zhao Zhen.
According to the rules of human relations, Fang Meiren claims to be a monarch, but it is not a problem.
No matter how low her status in the palace is, she is still Zhao Zhen's person.
It's just that she has no confidence when she shouts, and she looks a little crazy.
The concubine and prince around, some people think she is crazy.
Some people think she is dying.
The Queen Mother Li had an ugly face and was angry with her heart. She felt that Fang Meiren, a bitch, was looking for death.
In the eyes of Queen Mother Li, Zhao Zhen called Kou Ji the fourth elder brother. It was a means of wooing, comforting, and soliciting officials.
Nowadays, Fang Meiren's words of emperor and minister can easily ruin the situation that Zhao Zhen managed to manage.
Empress Dowager Li is a humble background, has no strong means, and is not good at tactics.
But she knew that turning foreign ministers into her own was a way to stabilize the court.
In those days, Taizu and Taizong used this to conquer the gang of heroes under their hands.
Fang Meiren yelled at Kou Ji about what kind of monarchs and ministers, it was suspected of being separated.
Such a fool, whether the prince insulted her or not, she deserved to die.
The Queen Mother was angry in her heart, but it didn't happen. Instead, she called Zhao Zhen in a cold voice.
"Emperor..."
Zhao Zhen had a heart attack for a long time, but the Queen Mother Li did not speak, he was not easy to speak, and now the Queen Mother is clearly reminding him that it is time to speak, he naturally will not hesitate.
Zhao Zhen stared coldly at Fang Meiren and said, "Fourth brother is my elder brother! Even if you are a monarch, you can't ride on your head."
Fang Meiren was shocked.
"Boom!"
Zhao Zhen came up against the case and said angrily: "Even if I don't call him the elder brother, he is also the father-in-law of our emperor and the father of the king of Han.
The queen has to be polite to three points when he sees it. What qualifications do you have for a bitch to talk to him about the monarch and ministers? "
Fang Meiren stared in horror and slumped on the ground.
Zhao Zhen glared at Fang Meiren in disgust, and stopped looking at her again. His eyes fell on Kou Ji, his voice softened by three points: "Fourth brother, this matter will be handled by you. The person who should be killed. , Leave none."
Kou Ji got up and said, "Hey!"
Zhao Zhen said coldly: "I leave Chen Lin to you, whoever I want to kill and catch, I leave it to Chen Lin to do it."
After saying this, Zhao Zhen bowed to the Queen Mother Li and respectfully invited the Queen Mother Li to return to the palace.
Queen Mother Li nodded and let Zhao Zhen help her out of the bedroom.
After the Queen Mother Li and Zhao Zhen left, Kou Ji bowed his hands to the concubines of the Sixth Palace and said, "Ladies, Chen Kou Ji has offended..."
Except for Empress Cao, the other concubines returned their gifts one after another, claiming that it was OK.
Kou Ji walked to Fang Meiren in full view, squatted down, and asked straightforwardly: "Why frame the prince?"
Fang Meiren's pupils shrunk slightly, staring at Kou Ji and gritted her teeth: "The official handed this matter to you, and I admit it. But it's the prince who insulted me, why did you turn black and white
I know you Kou Ji is powerful, but you can't block the black and white in the palace. "
Kou Ji smiled indifferently and asked: "Even if you are humiliated, no one will be partial to you, do you know why?"
Fang Meiren stared at Kou Ji without speaking.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The queen mother will not let the official family leave a notoriety of killing children; nor will the official family kill her own son for a beauty who has nothing to do; let alone the queen.
So this matter will eventually become that you fail to seduce the prince and try to slander the prince.
You, your parents, brothers, sisters, and even your house, will be beheaded for publicity.
Other members of the clan will be assigned to the border and will never be hired. "
Fang Meiren looked at Kou Ji in disbelief, and shouted hysterically: "It's obviously I am insulted!"
Kou Ji sighed and looked at Fang Beauty like an idiot.
"As a relative, if your father has my status, the crown prince must be abolished... Unfortunately, your father doesn't...
Regardless of the queen mother, the official family, or the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, they are unwilling to see a prince who destroys human relations.
Because once a prince who destroys human relations appears in my Da Song Dynasty, it will be a shame to the queen mother, official family, and the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty.
If there is a bitch who does not obey the woman's way, it is easy for people to accept.
Even if this matter is spread out, others will only say that your father teaches the daughter to have no direction, and the queen is in charge of the harem.
It will not affect the majesty of the Song Dynasty, nor will it leave the face of the queen mother, official family, and civil servants in the Manchu dynasty dull.
Take the lesser of the two evils.
So in the end, only you and your family are sacrificed. "
After Kou Ji finished speaking, Fang Meiren opened her mouth and couldn't say a word.
"Is Kou Aiqing's remarks somewhat contradictory? I have laws and justice in the Song Dynasty. There is a drum in front of the imperial palace for the people to avenge their grievances."
It was Concubine Zhou Shu who was talking, a person who had little sense of presence in the palace.
But he added a prince to Zhao Zhen, one of the four concubines.
Among the queens and four concubines in the palace, there is only the great concubine Da Zhang, who has only one daughter, and the other four have princes.
The reason why Da Zhang was promoted to one of the four concubines was also because his daughter married Kou Tianci.
The queen gave birth to two princes, the prince Zhao Run and the fourth prince Zhao Ze.
Xiao Zhang gave birth to the second prince, Zhao Yong, and was promoted to a noble concubine.
He gave birth to the fifth prince, Zhao Nong, and was promoted to concubine De.
Zhou gave birth to three princes, Zhao Li, and was promoted to concubine Shu.
The other princes are not old, and the strength of their mothers is not strong, so their mothers are among the nine princes.
Although Kou Ji didn't pay much attention to the women in Zhao Zhen's harem, he knew Concubine Zhou Shu.
A woman who quietly climbed to the throne of the Fourth Concubine when everyone was arguing.
Kou Ji said with a faint smile: "Concubine Shu is going to help Fang Meiren explain a few words?"
Concubine Zhou Shu said lightly: "My palace just feels that there is still axiom in this world."
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "There are outside the palace walls, but it's hard to say inside the palace walls."
Zhang Guifei put her hands in front of her abdomen and chuckled softly: "Naturally there are also in the palace walls.
Concubine He De has a gentle smile, "The royals are the noblest people in the world. The place where the royals live should naturally be the cleanest place, not a place to hide dirt."
Kou Ji raised his brows and squinted around Zhou Shu, He Defei, and Zhang Guifei with a smile, and finally fell on Empress Cao.
In a simple conversation, Kou Ji has seen something intriguing.
Concubine Zhang Gui, Concubine He De, Concubine Zhou Shu, and even Concubine Zhang Xian, the four of them formed an alliance to deal with Empress Cao together.
The appearance of Emperor Cao was as usual, as if he were an okay person, standing there with a calm expression.
Kou Ji once again looked at Concubine Zhou Shu, Concubine He De, and Concubine Zhang Gui with a smile on his face, and said, "The three want to seek justice for Fang Meiren?"
Zhang Guifei sighed and said, "After all, they are sisters who have been together for many years. How can you watch sister Fang be unjustly dead?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Are the three empresses going to pull the prince off the horse, or are they going to pull the queen off the horse together?"
Concubine Zhou Shu, Concubine He De, and Concubine Zhang's expressions all changed.
Zhang Guifei gritted her teeth and said: "Kou Aiqing, you can't just bite at will."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "The three empresses shouldn't teach the minister to do things. The official handed over this matter to the minister. How the minister handles it is the matter of the minister.
Even if the minister killed a good person by mistake, he would kill if he killed it.
Officials are not going to embarrass ministers for the sake of a woman and the ignorant people behind the woman. "
Zhang Guifei gritted her teeth and wanted to scold Kou Ji, but in the end she resisted it.
Concubine Zhang Guifei, Concubine Zhou Shu, and Concubine He De paid salutes to Empress Cao.
"Sister, younger sister, and others are absolutely not wrong."
Empress Cao smiled lightly and said: "The three sisters are worried. Kou Aiqing just casually said a joke, how can this palace take it to heart."
"Thank you sister for being considerate..."
"..."
After thanking them, the three of Zhang Guifei returned to where they stood with complicated expressions.
There are some things that everyone knows in private, but they taste different when they are said.
They just wanted to pull the prince and empress off the horse by using Fang Meiren's affairs.
Not only did they think so, but the other women in the palace thought so.
No one in the palace can ignore the position of prince and queen.
Everyone in the palace knew about this, but no one said it on the table.
But Kou Ji, the asshole, just put it on the table, and everyone who got it was very embarrassed.
Kou Ji is so powerful that they are not good at offending, so they can only swallow their breath and swallow.
If it were someone else, Concubine Zhang Guifei, Concubine He De, and Concubine Zhou Shu would have rushed forward and tore their lives.
Kou Ji didn't pay attention to the three of them anymore. He stared at the Fang Beauty who was sitting on the ground and said coldly, "Tell me why you framed the prince
If you confess, I can ask the official to forgive the lives of your family.
If you refuse to say anything, it will not end well. "
Fang Meiren gritted her teeth and said with little confidence: "I never framed the prince, it was the prince who molested me."
Kou Ji tossed his sleeves, and said a little disgustingly: "No matter, you refuse to say, I won't ask. As long as I let people take the Tiewenxiong and interrogate, then everything will be clear."
As soon as Kou Ji said this, Fang Meiren not only did not panic, but calmed down a lot.
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment, and probably understood why Fang Meiren became calm after he mentioned Tiewenxiong.
Tiewenxiong has committed suicide in fear of sin.
But even if he had guessed the answer, Kou Ji still ordered the eunuch in the palace to give Chen Lin, so that Chen Lin sent someone to catch Tiewenxiong.
When Chen Lin sent someone to catch Tiewenxiong, Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Zhen's concubines in the bedroom.
It didn't take long for Chen Lin to enter the palace with a bloody smell.
"The slaves and maids have met all the empresses, and the prime ministers..."
After Chen Lin gave the ceremony, she said to Kou Ji: "The servants in Fangmeiren's palace and the servants in the uterus, the servants have been killed in accordance with the orders of the official."
As soon as this remark came out.
The concubines with the prince and the prince are still calm.
Without the concubine of the prince and the prince, the complexion is not very good.
Although only some slaves and maids were killed, they were not happy at all when they thought of the close slaves and maids around them, they would be killed by a single word.
Fang Meiren gritted her teeth vigorously, restraining the fear and sorrow in her heart.
Kou Ji didn't care about their faces, he said to Chen Lin: "Then find a place to bury it. Remember to bury it deeply..."
Chen Lin agreed, and said: "The Prime Minister, when the servants were arresting people in the Fangmeiren Palace, they found a room full of willow bark.
I don't know what's the use. "
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, thinking about it: "It is naturally impossible for the nobles in the palace to use willow bark for warmth. The only purpose seems to be to make soup..."
When Kou Ji said this, everyone in the palace was taken aback.
Fang Meiren was even more surprised.
Chen Lin hurriedly asked, "Can willow bark be used as medicine?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "It can... It can cure fever and relieve pain... It's just harmful to the human body..."
The reason why willow bark can treat fever and relieve pain is because willow bark contains salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is the effective ingredient of aspirin, a great medicine in later generations.
But the content of salicylic acid in willow bark is not much, basically it is difficult to extract, and it must be chemically synthesized.
But the synthesized salicylic acid still has great side effects and hurts the stomach.
Its effect on stomach injury is far greater than curative effect.
It must be reprocessed in order to reach the point of healing and saving lives.
Kou Ji didn't know that Willow Bark had such a magical effect before.
I saw this in the books written by the ancient Greek medical scientist Hippocrates when I was reading the Great Food Books.
Kou Ji didn't know that the salicylic acid in willow bark was one of the effective ingredients of aspirin.
He only learned from the big food books that willow bark soup can treat fever and relieve pain, but the side effects are great.
Kou Ji guessed that the herbal medicine Fang Meiren used to lure Zhao Run into the bait was probably willow bark.
Although willow bark has great side effects in treating fever.
But in this age, as long as you have a fever, you can only wait for death, or wait for the goodness of God to let the fever go down.
The side effects of willow bark can only be ignored.
It's better to live a good thing.
Live a few more days.
It's no wonder that Zhao Run can get enough so easily.
If Kou Ji didn't see the effect of willow bark in the food books, someone would use it to get him to the bait, and he would also be hooked.
The most lethal disease to the ancients was fever.
The plague did not kill as many people as having a fever.
The plague is like a rain, the next one will pass and it will pass.
Fever accompanies the ancients all the time.
If there is a doctor who can treat this symptom and pass the word down, then he will definitely be regarded as a medical saint.
Kou Ji never thought of being a saint.
But he will not miss the things that can live countless lives.
Kou Ji bluntly said that willow bark can treat fever and relieve pain, causing an uproar in the bedroom.
Even Empress Cao, who has been pretending to be calm, couldn't help but say: "Really?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "It hurts my stomach..."
Empress Cao immediately said: "Find a doctor to dialectically, add some other medicinal materials, and neutralize it. Maybe you can avoid hurting your stomach."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and he actually felt that what Queen Cao said was reasonable.
Traditional Chinese medicine is very particular.
Yin-yang reconciliation and the symbiosis of the five elements are the basic theories of Chinese medicine.
Poisons like arsenic can also be a good medicine for diseases under the wonderful hands of doctors.
Moreover, willow bark is not deadly enough.
"Look back and find the royal doctor to make a correction together."
Kou Ji nodded intently.
Cao Huang said decisively: "It shouldn't be too late!"
"and many more… "
Concubine Zhang Gui stopped the Empress Cao who was about to leave.
Empress Cao frowned, her face cold.
Zhang Guifei smiled dryly and said: "If the willow bark can really cure fever, then it is a good recipe. Fang Meiren can be regarded as a meritorious service, and it is still a great merit that can be recorded in the annals of history."
Speaking of this, Zhang Guifei did not continue.
But the meaning is obvious.
Fang Meiren discovered that willow bark can heal fever, and Fang Meiren will be regarded as a person who can stay in the history in the future.
Such a character cannot be killed without authorization.
Empress Cao frowned tighter upon hearing this.
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "I just don't know that Fang Meiren's relatives have been in the Tiansheng Pavilion."
Concubine Zhang looked at Kou Ji and asked, "What does Kou Aiqing mean?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Even if the willow bark can really cure the fever, the credit will not fall on Fang Meiren's head. In the land of the big food, some people discovered this more than 1,300 years ago.
And clearly entered into the book.
Fang Meiren is not a doctor, and there is no doctor in the family. How do you know that willow bark can cure fever
Therefore, Fang Meiren’s method must have been learned from the scholars who had previously translated the big food books in the Tiansheng Pavilion. "
Fang Meiren heard the words and clenched her fists tightly.
There is neither confession nor denial.
Zhang Guifei suddenly chuckled and said, "It turns out that Kou Aiqing wanted to grab credit. Kou Aiqing also grabbed the credit for a living person's life. Isn't he afraid of being criticized?"
Kou Ji faintly said: "The imperial concubine lady frequently helps Fang Meiren to talk about items, is it related to the lady
Zhang Guifei's face turned dark, and she snorted, not speaking.
Kou Ji didn't respond to Concubine Zhang. He told Chen Lin: "Go down and check to see which of Fang Meiren's relatives has been in the Tiansheng Pavilion.
By the way, ask the person under your hand, why hasn't the Tiewenxiong been captured yet. "
Chen Lin agreed and withdrew from the sleeping hall.
After Chen Lin left, Empress Cao said to Kou Ji: "Kou Aiqing, the matter here is left to you. If the prince really does something that does not return, you can just ask the official to deal with it, not to the palace. .
My palace is now going to the imperial doctor to dialectically verify the willow bark. "
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "Please, please..."
Empress Cao is Empress Cao, and she is full of courage in this matter.
Not only did he stay calm, he also showed his trust in Zhao Run.
If she didn't believe Zhao Run, she would definitely not be so calm, let alone say this.
Now, she is going to save the people of Li people more seriously than Zhao Run, and it is another good story to spread it out.
No wonder Cao Huang did not fear the alliance between Concubine He De, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Zhou Shu.
Empress Cao clearly knows what she wants and what can stabilize her position and the status of the prince.
After seeing that Kou Ji had agreed, Empress Cao decisively left the bedroom.
Concubine He De, Concubine Zhang Gui and Concubine Zhou Shu did not move.
Only Concubine Zhang Xian gestured to Kou Ji and said softly: "Kou Aiqing, I also go to see..."
Kou Ji opened his hand and smiled and said: "Please, please. If you want to leave, you can leave."
Concubine He De, Concubine Zhang Gui and Concubine Zhou Shu did not move.
Only Concubine Zhang Xian left the bedroom alone.
"It's the prince I seduce!"
Just after Concubine Zhang Xian left the sleeping hall, Fang Meiren didn't know what happened, and suddenly spoke.
Kou Ji was taken aback.
Concubine He De, Concubine Zhang Gui and Concubine Zhou Shu were also taken aback.
Then Kou Ji had a meaningful smile on his face, and the three of He Defei, Zhang Guifei, and Zhou Shufei looked at Fang Meiren with hatred of iron and steel.
Concubine Zhang wanted to speak, but Kou Ji took the lead: "Why did you suddenly recognize it?"
Fang Meiren did not answer Kou Ji's question, but said with a trembling voice: "You just said, as long as I confess, let my family go."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I will ask the official to ask this."
After a pause, Kou Ji questioned: "You just told your story to save your family?"
Fang Meiren nodded almost without hesitation.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Then tell me, why do you want to seduce the prince, what plot is there, and who is behind it?"
Fang Meiren lowered her head, no longer the arrogance at the beginning, she lowered her head and said in a weird voice: "I have been in the palace for more than ten years.
I am empty... I am lonely... I want a man..."
Kou Jiyu stood up.
The others in the hall stared at Fang Meiren in disbelief, and couldn't believe their ears.
"Snapped!"
Zhang Guifei went up angrily and slapped Fang Meiren fiercely.
"You bitch!"
Concubine Zhang yelled.
Kou Ji didn't care about the two of them at all. He almost shouted, and shouted at the little yellow gate at the entrance of the temple: "Go and tell Chen Lin that he will go to the Tiansheng Pavilion and be related to Fang Beauty Officials, bring all of them back to me."
Concubine Zhang, who was punishing Fang Meiren, and other concubines, looked suspiciously at Kou Ji.
He Defei seemed to have guessed something, and sighed in a low voice.
Fang Meiren lay on the ground, trembling all over, without raising her head.
After that, Kou Ji stayed in the sleeping hall for more than an hour.
Fang Meiren lay on the ground without raising her head from beginning to end.
More than an hour later.
Chen Lin hurried in to the sleeping hall.
Fang Meiren suddenly got up from the ground and rushed to the side pillar resolutely.
The concubines who were standing in front of the pillar stepped away, and Fang Meiren slammed to death on the pillar.
Blood splashed all over the floor.
Neither Chen Lin nor Kou Ji had time to stop them.
The concubines in the hall exclaimed after Fang Meiren was hit and killed.
Kou Ji sat on the seat with a dark face, "Idiot!"
Chen Lin glanced at the corpse of Fang Meiren with a gloomy expression, walked quickly to Kou Ji's side, and said with a heavy voice: "Tiewenxiong hangs himself in the mansion. Before he died, he left a long letter to bluntly teach the crown prince to be ineffective. , So that the prince committed a catastrophic destruction of human relations.
He was speechless to face the officials, so he hanged himself. "
Kou Ji had already guessed that Tiewenxiong would die, so he didn't feel surprised.
It was the letter left by Tie Wenxiong that surprised him.
