The risk of assassination was too great. Even the assassination of a chief minister who had a salary of 1,000 stones failed. What method should be used to assassinate the emperor? Zhang Mian, who thought he was forcing Liangshan, thought nervously for a night, and finally decided to use poison. As long as he could poison Liu Xun's diet and let him die silently, he would be done.

In this matter, you should move faster. After you succeed, you should move faster. While Cheng Mo was extremely sad and his thoughts were in chaos, Huo Guang had not received the news of the emperor's death and controlled the government in one fell swoop. He was a little worried about whether he could control the Weiyang Palace in such a short time, but Liu Xun had a little eunuch he bought around him, and he could use it when things were urgent.

Zhang Mian decided to take the risk. Although time was short and the chances of success were less than 30%, if you don’t take a try, you will have a dead end. What if you make a thousand achievements?

During the morning court, he sat on the mat and looked at Liu Xun who was obeying the government carefully. There was a sarcastic sneer on his lips from time to time. The more times he had, Liu Xun might have noticed and glanced at him.

Zhang Mian also always pays attention to Cheng Mo. Whenever he sees someone talking, Cheng Mo looks at whom he doesn't notice anything.

He was like a monkey's butt, twisting his body on the mat.

Cheng Mo had never looked at him in person. On the way to court, he received a message from Heizi. No one in and out of Taichang Mansion was allowed to enter and exit the whole night, and Zuo Feng and Zhao Dan did not come out after entering the mansion. He ordered Heizi and others to continue monitoring, and then as if nothing had happened, Shi Shiran went to court.

Zhang Mian did not listen at all when the morning court discussed something. When he was dispersed, he did not leave the palace immediately. Instead, he guessed that Liu Xun had arrived at the East Palace and rushed over to ask for a meeting.

In the Xuanshi Hall, Cheng Mo came one step ahead of him.

"What do he want to do?" Liu Xun had noticed that Zhang Mian's behavior was abnormal in the morning. He could not help but frown when he learned that Zuo Feng and Zhao Dan had not left the mansion.

Zhang Mian is usually respectful to him. Although it is only on the surface, it is much better than Wu Yan's true colors. This man first assassinated the official, what do he want to do next?

Cheng Mo said: "Your Majesty, my people have followed him, let's see what he wants to do."

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch came to report and Zhang Mian asked for a meeting.

Liu Xun and Cheng Mo looked at each other, and Cheng Mo smiled and said, "I'm avoiding it."

"Okay, brother, let's go behind the screen to avoid it." Behind the seat where Liu Xun was sitting was a screen, and behind the screen was a wall without windows. There was a width between the wall and the screen that could allow two people to stand.

Cheng Mo responded, got up and walked towards the screen.

When Zhang Mian came in, he saw a set of tea sets placed in the middle of Liu Xun's desk, a small clay stove next to the tea set, and a white porcelain pot on the small clay stove. He couldn't help but look at the pot for a while.

When he went out in the morning, he had poison in his arms. In a hurry, he had no time to find the silent and tasteless poison. He had arsenic/frost in his arms. He ate seven holes and bleeded, but it was okay. As long as he controlled Liu Xun's close eunuch and wiped the blood on his face, who would know.

The emperor's diet was extremely strict. There was a special person who tried the poison. He couldn't do it. His holy favor was not revealed, and Liu Xun did not leave him to use food. He had already figured out that the best way was to ask for an audience and then poison it in a teacup. Such a small cup, as long as the nails were larger, could kill people.

Liu Xun was already very alert to him and looked at him without blinking. After he bowed and met, he quickly took a look at the porcelain pot, all in Liu Xun's eyes.

Liu Xun did not give him a seat and said, "What's the matter with Zhang Qing?"

The emperor has a lot of troubles every day, so there is no time to chat with you. The face of the saint must have a serious matter. Zhang Mian had already thought about it, and then quickly glanced at the porcelain pot and said, "Your Majesty, Tao Taichang Cheng went to Yuzhang for disaster relief for many days, but no news came. I think that people should be sent to see it again, or something unexpected may not be possible."

This is nonsense. You are responsible for the ancestral temple sacrifices. If you don’t take care of your own acre of three-point land, why are you involved in disaster relief?

Liu Xun's face darkened and said, "The Prime Minister will deal with disaster relief. Are you doing this?"

It’s really not to blame Zhang Mian for this. In recent times, there are no festivals and no sacrifices. He is not responsible for administrative affairs. What did he ask him to say in a hurry?

Zhang Mian glanced at the porcelain pot again, just thinking, why is the water not boiling? He heard from the eunuch that Liu Xun liked to drink tea very much. After going to court every day, he would definitely drink two cups of tea and eat two snacks before starting to handle government affairs. That's why he rushed to this point. This is the only time for Liu Xun to drink tea.

"I am afraid. Your Majesty, when I was a child, I also encountered floods in my hometown. My relatives died in the water. Yuzhang flooded. I empathized with it and expressed deep sympathy for the victims in the disaster area. Tao Taichangcheng had no news for many days, and I was very worried."

"You don't have to pay attention to this matter, let's go."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." When Liu Xun asked him to go out, a trace of white smoke came out of the spout of the porcelain pot. Zhang Mian was very anxious. The water was about to boil. How could he go out? But he didn't expect that Liu Xun was not given a seat. The place where he stood was more than 1 z. away from the back of the chair and two z. Even if he was allowed to stay here, how could he have the chance to poison him?

"What else do you have?" Liu Xun was obviously impatient.

Behind the screen, Cheng Mo heard Zhang Mian stammering and being insincere, and he would definitely move, but he hid behind the screen and couldn't come out. Fortunately, Liu Xun did not insist on letting Zhang Mian get out.

Zhang Mian searched for the dry intestine: "It will be July and a half in another month. May I ask your Majesty, will the sacrifices this year be the same as in previous years?"

Last year, Huo Guang was in power, and the sacrificial preparations were completed under Huo Guang's attention and approval. Liu Xun just took a car with Huo Guang to the Taimiao for sacrifice.

In a hurry, Zhang Mian had a sudden inspiration and finally found a topic to discuss in detail. If Liu asked about the details of sacrifices, utensils and other details, what music to play during the sacrifice, the conversation would be long.

At this time, the water from the porcelain pot boiled. Cheng Mo picked up the pot to make tea and said, "More than a month? Do you have to prepare so long in advance?"

"Yes, July 19th is a big festival, and there are a lot of things to prepare." Zhang Mian looked at the slender spout that poured out the clear waterline, and his eyes glowed.

Liu Xun knew something was wrong, so he pondered for a moment, put down the porcelain pot and said, "I'm going to the toilet, you can wait here."

The emperor is also a human being, and he also needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. It is very normal to go to the toilet.

Zhang Mian was overjoyed, nodded and bowed, "Okay, Your Majesty, please wait here."

There are eight screens, which are unfolded when used and closed when not used. There is a thin slit between each fan. Although the slit is very thin, it is still possible to look at the outside.

Cheng Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Mian sneaking around and looking around. Seeing that there was no one in the hall, he hurried to the table, uncovered the lid of the porcelain pot, and put a piece of powder in it.
