I became auspicious

Prince Yiwen Zhao Jituo was already familiar with the Analects of Confucius when he was three years old, and could recite the"Book of Filial Piety" and the"Five Classics" by the time he was five years old. His desire for knowledge was so exaggerated that it was astonishing that the East Palace where Zhao Jituo was at that time had 30,000 volumes of books, and the palace was filled with 30,000 volumes of books. In addition to knowledge, he never fell behind in his studies of martial arts, riding and shooting. From a young age, he began to pave the way for his future and get involved in government affairs. When he was twelve years old, he went to watch the trial of a prisoner and felt that the sentence was too harsh. So he asked for the case file and studied it carefully for a long time, so he tried it himself and gave a lighter sentence. This behavior received unanimous praise from both inside and outside the court, and they believed that he was a benevolent king. At the same time, he was very compassionate. Every winter, Zhao Jituo would donate 3,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes and quilts from his palace to the poor. If someone dies and cannot afford a coffin, Zhao Jituo will donate the coffin. He also particularly likes to work among the people, and often delivers some rice to people living on the streets. He will try his best to handle people's affairs, no matter how big or small. And when he did these things, he took the initiative to hide his identity and not let others know that he did it. Folks use one sentence to describe him:"When a cock crows and does good, he is also a disciple of Shun." Everyone thinks that after Zhao Jituo ascends the throne, he will definitely become an extremely good king.

Zhao Jihuan was so emotional that he was almost speechless with sobs. His eyes were filled with tears and his voice trembled slightly, revealing deep sorrow and self-blame.

"My brother is really a wise king, smart and wise, with the world in mind. However, such a great person died because of a trivial arrow wound. The wound was really small, so small that it was unbelievable. And this wound was caused because of me………"

Zhao Jihuan shook his head in pain, as if he couldn't bear this inner torture. His voice became lower and lower, and it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying. The surrounding atmosphere became depressing, as if even the air was filled with sadness.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel ripples in my heart. I was about to comfort Zhao Jihuan, but I saw him suddenly cheer up and said:"If the water gets cold, there is a switch on the left inner wall that you can turn on, so that hot water will flow in."

I was stunned, I didn't expect him to be like this You will also notice the water temperature. I pressed the switch lightly, hot water flowed out, and warm water vapor filled the air

"How could an arrow wound...? Injured on the battlefield? Was it poisoned?"I asked cautiously, trying to understand the truth of the matter.

Zhao Jihuan was silent for a moment and said sadly:"It's not poisonous, just because it's not on the battlefield. No one thought that he would die from this....."

Zhao Jihuan smiled self-deprecatingly, with a trace of helplessness and bitterness flashing in his eyes. He said softly:"Haha, when I was fourteen years old, I had the idea of ​​joining the army and fighting on the battlefield. My father thought it was time for me to gain experience, so he asked me to follow General Zhang. At that time, I didn't know how high the sky was, so I secretly became a soldier. The first time I went to the battlefield, I was ambushed by the Zhou army."

A flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and his voice became a little trembling:"Under the random arrows of the Zhou army, our army suffered many casualties. I was While dodging, I fell off the horse. After being helped up by a soldier, the soldier was directly hit by an arrow and died, and he used his body to protect me. This scene almost scared me to tears. In the end, the commander-in-chief ran over and hurriedly rescued me. Drag it away."

Zhao Jihuan sighed longly, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes:"From then on, I learned that war is like this, and I also learned that only by experiencing life and death can one grow into a good general. But there are unforeseen circumstances......."

He took a few deep breaths and seemed to be calming down his inner excitement:"It was the Battle of Xiayu Pass. Our 50,000-strong army faced off against Zhou's 8,000-strong army. The Zhou army had been tightly surrounded by our army, and victory was right in front of us. My The elder brother requested to go to the front line in person, so his father appointed him as the commander-in-chief to increase his prestige."

"Several prisoners had been captured at that time. The elder brother couldn't bear to risk his life, so he was imprisoned."Zhao Jihuan's tone was a little heavy,"It's me... I think these prisoners need to be interrogated. Who would have expected that the prisoner who had just taken off the coin in his mouth said that he was the guard in front of Zhou Guodian. Xu Xi would not speak until he saw his brother. I'll go and invite..."

His words were suddenly interrupted, and a trace of pain and self-blame flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists hard, as if suppressing his inner emotions,"Unexpectedly, Xu Xi spit out a needle from his mouth, I blocked it with the hilt of my sword, but I didn't expect the needle to scatter. The guards rushed over to block the needle, but in the end, it only scratched my brother's calf. He closed his eyes and his voice choked up,"I asked a military doctor. After the military doctor pulled out the needle, he said it was not poisonous." We interrogated Xu Xi and other prisoners, and they also said it was not poisonous and was just to hurt his eyes.…."

Zhao Jihuan's tears fell down,"In the end, the battle was won. After returning to the imperial capital, my brother developed symptoms of general weakness, dizziness, headache, and difficulty opening his mouth. Later, he had difficulty chewing, difficulty opening his mouth, episodic spasms, and finally suffocation. It’s only been one month..." Zhao Jihuan had already burst into tears and his voice was choked:"When my brother finally passed away, he couldn't say anything, but he struggled to smile, and with trembling hands he wrote on my palm, 'Leave it to you.’"

Zhao Jihuan closed his eyes, as if recalling the sad scene,"But his eyes were full of reluctance and regret. I know he still has many unfinished things."..."The man's voice was filled with endless sorrow and pain.

Zhao Jihuan sank into the warm water, seeming to want to escape this cruel reality. After a moment, he struggled to stretch his head out and took a big breath of air. He raised his head, with a firm light shining in his eyes,"I know, I can't give up just now. I want to fulfill my brother's last wish and avenge him."

I was about to open my mouth to comfort, but was interrupted by Zhao Jihuan's voice.

"I thought it was just a coincidence until I interrogated the prisoners in the prison."Zhao Jihuan's tone became cold,"One of the prisoners who had never spoken laughed loudly and shouted, 'He must be dead.’"

I felt a chill, and I could feel the anger and grief in Zhao Jihuan's heart

"I stared at her angrily, she had been whipped to pieces, there was no good skin on her body, her hair was messy, and her whole body was skin and bones."Zhao Jihuan clenched his fists and said,"Under torture, I don't believe what she told lies. There can be no poison on the needle. I was so angry that I broke her hand bones"

"She didn't say a word, just laughed, 'So what if you break my hand? ' She mocked, 'It was you who should have died, but who knew he was here instead? God really gave me a chance! Do you think you can change anything? Hahaha! '" Zhao Jihuan said through gritted teeth."‘Do you think he was poisoned? The prisoner laughed and said,"Do you know who I am?" Tell you, my name is Wang Yingjiao, Zhao Jituo deserves death! He deserves to die! He actually wants me to be a brat. I was caught by you on purpose. They called you Prince when you came that day. I was so happy that I didn’t expect you to bring him here. I was ready to kill you. Hahahahahaha. She laughed and bit her tongue to death in the end’"Zhao Jihuan closed his eyes, as if recalling that terrifying moment,"I will never forget Wang Yingjiao's bloody smile at the end."

I couldn't help but shudder.

Zhao Jihuan suddenly hit the water surface hard with his hand, causing a splash of water. He seemed to be venting his inner emotions and unable to control his impulses.

I stayed quietly, didn't say anything, just silently observed his reaction.

After a while, he calmed down a little. I opened my mouth and said,"I know what the poison on that sword wound is. In fact, I can't blame you entirely for this."

Zhao Jihuan stood up and asked eagerly:"What poison?"

"You sit down first," I reassured,"it's tetanus."

"tetanus? Zhao Jihuan was stunned,"What is tetanus?""

I nodded,"It's just that there are germs on the arrows. I believe the needles should be mixed with feces or something like that." But there is a probability. Wang Yingjiao probably didn't expect that Prince Yiwen would die. So she said God help her."

Zhao Jihuan shook his head in pain,"You are talking about the"Golden Juice Arrow". The golden juice arrow was once suspected by the imperial doctors and military doctors, but the symptoms were completely different from before. After being hit by a golden juice arrow, only the skin festered, and later the internal organs festered and he died."

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault...it's all my fault."His words were full of endless regret and self-blame.
