Chapter 6 Taking advantage of the situation to seize power
He raised his legs and kicked the eunuch to the ground, and said to Ying'er: "Yinger, tie him up."
Ying Er did not hesitate to carry out Zhao Dongting's words, untied a few belts from the guards on the ground, tied the eunuch to a chair, and then looked at Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Zhao Dongting's calmness made her feel that the image of this little emperor became unprecedentedly tall.
Zhao Dongting did not answer, walked back to the bed and sat down, pondering for a few minutes before saying, "Doctor Xuan'an is here to meet him."
Yang Wanli has a high position and a powerful person. He is a little emperor with no name and no clue. He is not clear about the situation in the court. This little eunuch alone may not be able to deal with Yang Wanli.
Only by taking down Doctor An first and then having two testify as a witness can Yang Wanli be captured as much as possible.
Ying Er took the order and left the house and ordered her to continue.
As an imperial physician, Doctor An was not far from the royal palace. He only asked for a meeting outside the door for dozens of minutes.
Zhao Dongting asked Ying'er to open the door and only let Doctor An come in.
Doctor An walked into the room and saw the body all over the room. His color changed instantly, as pale as paper. "Emperor, Master, this is..." Zhao Dongting stood up slowly and said, "Why is this? Don't you know it?"
Doctor An, sweating like rain on his forehead, knelt on the ground, "Emperor, I am not understanding."
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be really unaware of the truth.
Zhao Dongting thought that these eyes were countless people, and it was still obvious whether Doctor An was acting at this time.
He frowned and said bluntly: "Yang Wanli, deputy chief of the guards and infantry, asked you to do something in medicine to harm me, right?"
"minister!"
Doctor An looked up at Zhao Dongting, with a shocked face.
At this moment, there was almost no blood on his face.
Zhao Dongting pointed at the tied eunuch and suddenly pulled up the tone, "He has confessed, don't you?"
"I deserve to die for thousands of crimes! I deserve to die for thousands of crimes!"
Doctor An kowtowed to the ground desperately.
"snort!"
Zhao Dongting snorted coldly, "Except Yang Wanli, who else is your other party?"
Doctor An knelt on the ground, his face full of shame, but said, "The criminals don't know."
"After this matter, do you still have to protect them?"
"The guilty minister is ashamed of his holy grace, but he does not know the guilty minister."
As he said that, without waiting for Zhao Dongting to ask again, Doctor An explained the whole story, "Since you fell into the water on the sea and got infected with the cold wind and cold, Yang Wanli found the criminal minister and asked the criminal minister to do something in your medicine. The criminal minister was filled with righteous indignation, but... why... Yang Wanli held the criminal grandson hostage...the criminal minister...please ask the emperor to give him death!"
Zhao Dongting felt cold in his heart. Yang Wanli really knew how to find a way to deal with the medicine, and he could really not know it.
Zhao Jing died early, and he must have been killed by this Taigong doctor An.
If you don't kill this person, you will be unable to sleep or eat.
He looked down at Doctor An and asked, "Yang Wanli really took your grandson hostage?"
Doctor An said: "The criminals must never speak nonsense!"
"good!"
Zhao Dongting said heavily: "I will come to confront you now. If what you said is true, I will spare you."
Immediately looked at Ying'er, "Yinger, go and bring Yang Wanli to you."
When Ying'er walked to the door, she said, "By the way, invite the Empress Dowager and Su Liuyi and other humeral ministers."
The Empress Dowager and other people who hold real power are not here, and Zhao Dongting is really worried that he will not be able to surrender to Yang Wanli.
In addition, maybe there are also Yang Wanli's accomplices among them. If you interrogate Yang Wanli in front of them, you may find some clues.
After a few dozen minutes, Empress Dowager Yang Shufei, Su Liuyi, and others arrived one after another.
Seeing the scattered corpses in Zhao Dongting's bedroom, everyone's faces changed a little.
Su Liuyi was in charge of the front office of the palace and the guards. Looking at the corpses of the guards on the ground, he thought someone was assassinating. He pretended to be frightened and bowed to Zhao Dongting, "Master, is there any thief assassination?"
"yes!"
Amid the doubts of the people in the room, Zhao Dongting sneered coldly, "But the ones who assassinated me are these my guards!"
When Su Liuyi heard this, he was really frightened and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "I am not in good supervision and I deserve to die. Please ask the Empress Dowager to give me the crime."
He was a smart man and immediately admitted his mistakes.
Zhang Shijie, deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, said: "Even the guards' personal army have become rebels. Where is the safety of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor?"
Zhang Shijie was also a celebrity in the late Southern Song Dynasty and held a high position, but this person liked to flatter.
Su Liuyi was afraid that he would hate him to death, but he was not easy to argue at this time. He just kowtowed, "I will die!"
Then, several generals knelt down.
These generals are undoubtedly commanders of the Palace Front Office or the guards' personal army.
Concubine Yang's face was calm and she just asked, "Zhier, what's going on?"
Zhao Dongting slowly told the story in front of all the ministers, including two little eunuchs who wanted to poison him with roasted chicken.
After saying that, he glanced at everyone and said, "I wonder who is Mr. Yang Wanli, the deputy chief of the guards and infantry,?"
Among the kneeling generals, a stout man with dark face raised his head, "I will be here!"
He didn't look very flustered on his face.
Zhao Dongting was secretly surprised by the calmness of the man, and then said, "Yang Wanli, don't you want to explain something to me?"
Everyone present noticed some signs and looked at Yang Wanli one after another.
Yang Wanli lowered his head and his voice was muffled, "I don't understand what the emperor means, so please make it clear."
"Oh!"
Zhao Dongting looked at Doctor An and the little eunuch, "Doctor An, and you, now Lord Yang says he doesn't know what you two want to say?"
The little eunuch had already looked as if he was dead and could not speak at this time.
Doctor An sighed and said, "Mr. Yang, things have come to this point, so let's confess! You asked me to do things in the sages and medicines, and I have reported to the sages."
"You slander!"
Yang Wanli suddenly raised his head, staring at him like a copper bell, "I have no grudges and you, why do you harm me?"
Zhao Dongting was not in a hurry. He walked to the eunuch, patted his shoulder, and asked, "Did Yang Wanli ask you to poison me in the roast chicken?"
The little eunuch's psychological defense line had long collapsed, and he just nodded, "Yes!"
With two testimony, everyone could naturally see that Yang Wanli must have nothing to do with this matter.
Su Liuyi was furious in an instant and suddenly stood up and kicked Yang Wanli to the ground, "You unfaithful and unfilial thief, I will kill you now!"
Although his voice was sharp, his appearance was not very scary.
Most of the senior officials in charge of the army in the Southern Song Dynasty were civil officials, and Su Liuyi was one of them.
He wore two long-winged official hats on his head, and he looked more like an old master.
