Chapter 555 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind(1/2)
A large group of soldiers surrounded a ox cart and headed towards the palace. Among the ox carts, King Xiao Yi of Xiangdong held the handrail with one hand and covered his abdomen with the other, and his face was solemn.
His abdomen was slim, which made him feel nauseous. He then retching one after another and vomited a few mouthfuls of sour water.
However, he did not vomit blood, so the condition did not worsen.
After a while, the nausea felt much lighter and the abdomen was not so swollen. Xiao Yi gradually sat up straight, and his stern face gradually showed joy.
Things went smoothly. After the swords and swords of the Shangshu Province, the ministers of the regent were all finished and were killed by the subordinates of King Xunyang and King Yidu.
Hou Andu, who "hearing the news", attacked the palace and killed all the key figures that should be killed, including those old friends from the East Palace among the eunuchs.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor thought Hou Andu and others were bewitched by King Xunyang and King Yidu...
Now, as planned, the hostage of Xunyang King and the King of Yidu should have been hacked to death by the soldiers who "discovered being deceived".
The two emperor uncles who launched the palace transformation were killed, but the prime minister, many officials, and the generals of the imperial guards were killed in this palace transformation. Then, the aftermath naturally led to the resignation of the prime minister, who was ill in bed.
Xiao Yihui pardoned Hou Andu and others for breaking into the palace and committing crimes committed by "not understanding right and wrong and being used by treacherous ministers", so that they could make meritorious service and quell the rebellion.
During this "Palace Incident", the empress dowager, who was almost completely injured and killed, and the emperor, could no longer escape Xiao Yi's control.
If you control the emperor, you will have the right to be righteous and it will be much easier to deal with the kings.
Xiao Yi suddenly felt relieved when he thought about what happened today:
Just pretending to be sick can cause a "mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind". If I had known it was so relaxed, why would I hesitate for so long?
On the Shangsi Festival, his abdomen suddenly felt like a twitch, which later relieved. Although it was not fatal, his abdomen swelled from time to time and felt a slump.
According to the diagnosis of doctors such as Yao Sengyuan, it is like indigestion.
The so-called indigestion disorder is caused by unclean diet or overeating, which causes food accumulation to stagnate and retain the stomach and intestines.
Or if the spleen and stomach are weak, and if the diet is not careful, the food is stagnant and the food is stopped, causing gastrointestinal discomfort.
On the Shangsi Festival, Xiao Yi used a diet that was the same as his family. He did not overeat, and he did not have symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness on weekdays. Therefore, he thought he was either really unlucky and had an unclean diet.
Or, someone is poisoning.
Some people poison their diet, but because tea and food are steamed, the toxicity is much weaker.
After he took it, he was not poisoned, but caused gastrointestinal discomfort due to mild poisoning, which caused the food he had eaten to stagnate and stayed in the stomach, causing diet disorders.
Just as the river channel in the mountains is blocked by debris, causing the river water to flow poorly, and gradually the dam is blocked to form a lake, his stomach and intestines are enlarged by food accumulation, so he often feels nauseous, swelling, and a feeling of depression.
It also causes loss of appetite and sour and rotten air in the mouth, which is the smell of food accumulation in the stomach.
As long as the indigestion is cleared and the river channel is unobstructed, the disease will naturally be cured.
However, the vomiting caused by several consecutive days did not vomit out the incubation of food. If the decoction is used to "digest" food, it will take a long time and may not be effective.
Once the condition is delayed, it is very likely to worsen. The stomach and intestines that were not seriously ill will gradually be injured and the injury will worsen. At that time, it will turn into a fatal serious illness and will soon be born.
Preliminary estimates: If the indigestion syndrome cannot be cured and continues to affect people's appetite, it will weaken the body and take advantage of the situation.
In this way, the patient may be sick for a long time, live for more than ten years, and may have stomach damage, so he can only live for one or two years.
This is what Xiao Yi thought after the doctor secretly asked him to diagnose. Xiao Yi rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold for the purpose of keeping his family.
Then pretend to be sick, vomit whatever you eat in front of others, and then eat secretly to replenish your energy.
He was not sure whether the indigestion could be cured. If it could not be cured, would he be "sick and living for more than ten years" or gastrointestinal damage, and would die if he lived for one or two years.
But he was unwilling to end his life like this, because that position was so close.
Once you taste the taste of power, you will never forget it. No matter how powerful the book is, there are still people above you.
Only by sitting in that position can you truly grasp supreme power.
Xiao Yi could not really bow down to a young man because the other party was not worthy of rule over the world.
He felt that as the only son of Emperor Gaozu, the oldest and most prestigious vassal king in the royal family, was the best master of the country.
Therefore, after Xiao Yi re-entered the Shangshu, he kept making arrangements.
This layout will take several years to complete, but with the change in Shangsi Festival, he didn't want to wait any longer.
He was scheduled to take several years to do nothing, and this year he would be able to complete his work and then be called emperor by Zen.
Then, the rebellion of the kings was quelled and all parties were arranged. Even if they could only be emperor for one or two years, they could still allow their sons Xiao Fang and others to succeed.
His crown prince Xiao Fangzhu was twenty-four years old. One or two years later, twenty-five or six years old. He would definitely be able to handle the government affairs personally without making any moves.
At that time, Xiao Fangzhu will be assisted by his uncle Wang brothers and his wife's family.
Outside, Wang Sengbian and other disciples of the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion were shocked by the sluts. In addition, Hou Andu and other Xinfuling generals were lackeys, Xiao Yi felt that his son would definitely be able to settle down.
Therefore, if he does bad things, he can control the orphan and widowed mother in the palace, and use the emperor to command the princes to quell the rebellion of the kings, and then he will be accomplished.
But for this, we need to compromise. Those who should have dealt with must first give some sweetness to stabilize.
As she thought about it, Xiao Yi thought of Li Li.
Li Li is talented, but after Emperor Wen and his son suddenly passed away, Xiao Yi felt that no one could tame Li Li, so Li Li was a disaster.
Xiao Yi originally planned to put Li Li's family in the capital after the situation stabilized, so as to threaten the Xuzhou army to be honest, and then divide and disintegrate the generals in Xuzhou and then eliminate the roots.
But now, time is tight, and he must use Li Li's reputation to intimidate those foreign vassal kings, heroic officials and generals, new lackeys Hou Andu and others, and even restrain Wang Sengbian and his generals.
Let these warriors restrain each other and restrain each other, while the relatives of the outside world guard the left and right, and the son is in the center to mediate the struggles of various forces, and the situation is stable.
So, Xiao Yi called Wang Lin back to deal with Li Li.
Wang Lin invited the other party to visit the mansion today and dragged him to the mansion as much as possible. Xiao Yi made such arrangements in order not to give this boy Li Li a chance to take advantage of the troubled waters.
Now that the palace has been taken down, the empress dowager and the emperor are under house arrest, they have not yet reacted. Even if they react, it is too late.
When Xiao Yi left, Wang Lin came to report that Li Li had left his private lesson.
The Empress Dowager, the Emperor is under his control, so Xiao Yi does not think that Li Li, who is a few steps late, can still take advantage of the situation, and must have to face the reality: the overall situation has been decided.
The overall situation has been decided, and the infamous must be borne by King Xunyang and King Yidu, while King Xiangdong is the mainstay of turning the tide.
Xiao Yi was very happy about his great success in using the trick. He really wanted to know what the mastermind behind the Shangsi Festival poisoning (if it was indeed poisoning) would look like in the current situation?
The team quickly entered the palace and the ox cart stopped. Xiao Yi, who could have walked by himself, got off the carriage, was so weak that he needed to ride on the carriage, and someone was carrying it into the hall.
In front of the hall, Hou Andu and other generals were waiting for a long time. When they saw the King of Xiangdong coming, they knelt down one by one and apologized for guilt: "Prime Minister! The last general is deceived by the treacherous ministers and caused a great disaster. Please punish the Prime Minister!"
"Cough cough cough... Come on, take them down!!" Xiao Yi suddenly coughed a few times, then started to curse. The soldiers around him immediately stepped forward and captured Hou Andu and others.
"You are helping the evildoer to be abused, and the soldiers are directed to the emperor. Wait, wait until the emperor is defeated! Cough cough cough!!"
Xiao Yi cursed and cursed to the back, coughing violently, which showed that he was extremely angry.
The soldiers around could see clearly. Seeing Hou Andu and other generals breaking into the palace, they were timid in front of the King of Xiangdong, like a mouse who saw a cat, dared not resist and surrendered. They couldn't help but admire:
Sure enough, the scene is still the one in Xiangdong King Town!
The King of Xiangdong rode into the hall on his shoulder carriage, and Hou Andu and other generals were tied up and stood aside.
They finished all the plays they should act. Next, the King of Xiangdong would "persuade" the emperor and the queen mother to put the overall situation first, pardon them, and let them atone for their sins.
Of course, the other party may also destroy the bridge and kill people to silence the victim.
Hou Andu and others are not stupid enough to be dogs for others. If the King of Xiangdong wants them to do dirty work, they must be guaranteed.
Therefore, the prince Xiao Fangzhu, the most beloved son of the King of Xiangdong, is now a guest somewhere, which is considered pledge.
With hostages, Hou Andu and others will work hard and make great contributions this time. Although they will not be valued because of their infamy, they will have a bright future in the future.
In the future, they may also be demolished by crossing rivers, but Hou An can think clearly that it is impossible for them to have high positions and high salaries without taking risks.
Adventure can be on the battlefield, but in terms of war, their military achievements are not as good as the generals of the Xuzhou army.
However, if you want to climb up, you can also take risks in the officialdom. As long as you follow the right backer, you can be much more stable than a person like Pengcheng Gong Li Li who fights alone in the officialdom.
Hou Andu was not panicked. He looked up at the sky, but saw that the sky was dark, and the golden crow was falling westward and the jade rabbit was about to rise eastward.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were in the hall, and there were heavy troops around him, which was very safe, but it was described as house arrest and could not escape the control of the King of Xiangdong.
The ministers of the regent have been "killed" by the King Xunyang and King Yidu.
After the failure of the two kings, they died in the chaos, so the overall situation has been decided.
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
He suddenly started coughing and felt a little itchy in his throat.
Hou Andu, who kept coughing, felt a little strange because he was a little uncomfortable with the pollen flying everywhere in spring and was prone to coughing.
Some people cannot stand pollen and show various discomfort symptoms. In severe cases, they are allergic to large areas of their bodies, redness, or redness and swelling of their throats and difficulty breathing.
It is said that the King of Xiangdong had this problem, so when the King of Xiangdong met them at the beginning of the year, Hou An followed his instructions and could not have pollen on his body, so it was best to wear a cloak and take it off after entering the room.
Hou Anduo's allergic symptoms of pollen are just coughing. Now he coughs, and feels strange: he has not caught a cold.
He felt itchy throat, just like after being stimulated by pollen in spring.
However, the season when pollen is flying is over, and there are no blooming trees nearby, how could it be?
After a while, there seemed to be movement in the hall, and Hou An listened and felt uneasy.
But the eunuch ran out in a panic, and soon, he hurried over with the imperial physician.
