Wishful Things

The prince and his party entered the hall to salute.

"Father finally woke up!" The boy knelt down to salute, his eyes were slightly red when he raised his head, and there was a happy smile on his face.

No matter what his father had done, he was still his father. He was still happy when he heard that his father was able to wake up.

But just after the words were spoken, Emperor Qingming, who was helped back to the bed and sat on the bed, grabbed the medicine bowl on the small table beside the couch, and threw it at the boy without saying a word.

The prince did not hide.

He didn't have time to hide, and he didn't dare to hide.

The enamel medicine bowl hit his right eye hard, and immediately fell into pieces under his feet.

"Your Highness!"

Xie Shoufu and his party of six officials were all taken aback.

Two of them hurried forward to check the boy's eyes.

"What are you doing, Your Majesty!" Xie Shoufu looked at the emperor who had just woken up on the bed, his expression was bewildered - it was not important to wear a green hat, maybe it made people crazy!

He has made no political contributions, and one of his only two sons was raised for others. Now there is only such a sick and weak prince available, but he is fine, and he was smashed when he came up!

If they really smashed people out of good or bad, who else could they count on?

If I don't know, I'm afraid I still think that His Majesty loves King Yan deeply, trying every means to set off the other party, and spare no effort to give up the country in a reasonable and reasonable way!

"What do you ask me for?" Emperor Qingming was furious and said, "I want to ask you what your intentions are! Taking advantage of my illness, you actually commit such an evil plan... The crown prince's body is weak, his heart is innocent, and his vision is limited. , You have no opinion on political affairs! You actually ordered him to supervise the country, don’t you want to coerce him to order the world and seek personal gain from it!”

Xie Shoufu sneered angrily in his heart - listen to what nonsense nonsense these are talking about!

The rest of the people also changed expression.

Of course they know that the prince is not good, but give them a good one?

And after these two days, apart from his poor health, the prince is better than his father in everything else!

The prince ignored the injury on his eye socket, put his forehead on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Father, calm down... the matter of supervising the country is just an expedient measure, and my son can prove that all of you are dedicated to Daqing, and you have no second thoughts! Having woken up safely, everything should still be decided by the emperor..."

What he had experienced in the past made him dare not have any unrealistic expectations for this father. What he always wanted was to live as long as possible, and try not to hurt others as much as possible.

This time he came forward to supervise the country, it was all adults who tried hard to persuade him, and he dared to accept it after repeatedly stating the pros and cons.

But in the end, I still violated the taboo of my father...

"I'm asking them, who allowed you to speak!" Emperor Qingming glanced coldly at the thin figure of the boy kneeling there, and looked at Xie Shoufu and the others again.

Facing the emperor's sight, Xie Shoufu's face was tense, and he said in a firm voice: "The emperor's words are too chilling! You have been in a coma for several days before, and at such a critical moment, everything cannot be delayed. Chaos, military affairs, and rumor control all require someone to make a timely decision! The court situation also needs His Royal Highness to come forward to stabilize it! What's more, throughout the ages, if the monarch left the capital, or when he was ill and unable to govern, he ordered the prince to supervise him. The country is in the ancestral system of jurisprudence! This is the meaning of the word "Chu" in the name of Chu Jun—this truth is something that even a five-year-old child in the city can save!"

The members of the Minister of Rites broke out in cold sweat when they heard this.

Xie Shoufu is saying that the emperor is not as good as a five-year-old child?

This scene reminded them of Xie Shoufu's old demeanor when he served as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate under the former emperor...

Over the years, the court has been controlled by Xia Tingzhen's party, and the voice of the "direct ministers" headed by Xie Shoufu has been suppressed, and their voices have weakened a lot.

Fortunately, the emperor is not too confused and has a mind of checks and balances.

Today, Xie Shoufu, who has regained the right to speak, can see that his bloodiness has not diminished in the past...

Of course, this bloodiness that had been silent for a long time was most likely also stimulated by the emperor.

To be honest, anyone who has a problem with his body is not suitable to be an official under the emperor, otherwise he might not be able to stand up easily.

"Your Majesty invited the prince to supervise the country according to the ancestral system, and it became a conspiracy in His Majesty's mouth. Then dare to ask Your Majesty, if you have not invited the prince to come forward and handle political affairs privately, when your Majesty wakes up now, will you rule me again?" Wait for a crime of arbitrariness and usurpation!" Xie Shoufu looked straight at Emperor Qingming without avoiding his eyes.

Emperor Qingming was so angry that his lips turned purple.

"How dare you teach me a lesson! I use you as chief assistant to share my worries! What you are doing now, is it because you want to be the second Xia Tingzhen, trying to control the court!"

"Your Majesty is admonishing His Majesty right now!" Xie Shoufu's voice was up and down, his eyes open and awe-inspiring: "Your Majesty has been in a coma until now. After waking up, he didn't ask about political affairs and military affairs. Instead, he was in a hurry to accuse His Majesty the Crown Prince and the ministers. Pai, it is really a loss of the dignity of a country's monarch, and it is difficult to convince the public! The emperor has made mistakes, and as the emperor's close ministers, he has the responsibility to advise and remind--under such circumstances, if the minister keeps silent, he is ashamed of his majesty's reuse. Ashamed of the entrustment of the late emperor, ashamed of Daqing Jiangshan!"

At this point, he raised his robe and knelt, raised his hand and said: "Chen, His Majesty Wanwang can clear his head, abandon useless doubts, look at the overall situation, and consider the preservation of Daqing!"

Jiang Taifu, the oldest, shook his head secretly.

Clear mind, get rid of useless doubts?

It doesn't work at all.

If His Majesty really wanted to get rid of his useless suspicions, he would have to dig out all his brains.

After all, Shu Ming is still too young, young people can't do it if they don't believe in evil.

"That's a good set...a high-sounding rhetoric! You really think I am..." Emperor Qingming's breath fluctuated violently, and he could hardly finish a complete sentence, so he coughed violently again.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down..." Li Ji hurriedly patted Emperor Qingming on the back, and gestured with his eyes to dismiss the first assistant.

Advice is certainly correct, but it must also be combined with reality...

With the current appearance of the emperor, if Xie Shoufu continued to talk like this, he might not want to watch the emperor's performance and die suddenly on the spot!

——If you dare to say it, I dare to die!

Emperor Qingming's withered and yellow face was flushed, and after a loud cough, his strength seemed to be taken away, but his eyes full of rage and suspicion were still firmly fixed on Xie Shoufu's body.

These people always like to claim to be righteous, but they have their own ghosts inside!

He will never allow another Xia Tingzhen to appear!

Xie Shoufu knelt straight, meeting those eyes, his heart felt as if pierced by an ice pick.

The situation is so difficult that he, an old man over sixty years old, can't sleep all night because of this time, and it is not uncommon for him to stay in the palace for more than ten days without returning home——

There are frequent riots in various places, and the rush to pay for the soldiers and horses is pressing pile after pile. The situation in Ningyang is unpredictable.

But no matter how difficult it was, he had never felt so cold and hopeless before.

After a while, he slowly took off his official hat and held it in his hands——

"You...you..." Emperor Qingming struggled to speak, gritting his teeth.

"Shu Ming... what are you doing!" Jiang Taifu on the side urged and stopped him in a low voice.

"As long as I am in this position for one day, I have the responsibility to advise Your Majesty! If Your Majesty does not want to believe what I do, listen to what I say, and want to keep my mouth shut, then please remove me from my position!"

He wasn't angry with anyone——

It's fine on weekdays, but in the current situation, whether the monarch can deal with it clearly is a matter of life and death!

If the emperor doesn't wake up, then it would be futile for these courtiers to risk their lives!

"Okay...you actually threatened me...you are known as a direct minister outside the world, and you are trying to force me to take your post, so that I will have the reputation of not distinguishing between loyal and evil, and not listening to advice. Insulting the emperor and slandering his name...to shake the hearts of the people in the court! Trying to trap me in injustice, so you dare to say that there is no other conspiracy...Now I am a little curious, who are you secretly loyal to!" Emperor Qingming saved With a little strength, he gritted his teeth and trembled.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites felt their hearts sink when they heard this.

If the emperor can put his jealous thoughts on the right path, why worry about the failure of Daqing?

Xie Shoufu straightened his lips, but did not make any excuses.

"Since you want to plot against me with your own body, I might as well fulfill you!" Under the torment of anger and sickness, Emperor Qingming obviously lost the so-called rationality, and ordered sharply: "Come here, let me get rid of you!" Xu's official robe, drag it down... fifty sticks!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" The Minister of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly stepped forward and said, "There has never been a precedent for an official with a court staff in our dynasty! What's more, Mr. Xie is the chief assistant of the court. If it is spread, it will break the hearts of all scholars." ah!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, although Xie Shoufu's words are inappropriate... But it can also show a heart of loyalty to the king and the country. Your Majesty must not treat him impulsively!"

Emperor Qingming raised his voice, his face flushed with rage: "Those who dare to intercede will be regarded as accomplices... all are guilty of the same crime!"

"Xie Shoufu is upright and upright, and has no different intentions, please think twice!" The prince kowtowed heavily.

"Your Highness, there is no need to plead for your minister..." Xie Shoufu turned his head slightly.

The prince's eyes were filled with tears.

Xie Shoufu is all for him!

He was angered and misunderstood because of his affairs of supervising the country!

Sensing the boy's thoughts, Xie Shoufu sighed in his heart - that's not the case!

The fact is that he has endured the emperor for a long time!

"..." Emperor Qingming squeezed out a strange sneer.

His prince is not stupid at all, and he knows how to win people's hearts at this moment!

One by one, they are all hidden, not to be underestimated!

It really is the environment where tigers and wolves look around!

Turning his face, he saw the two inner eunuchs who stepped forward hesitated and did not step forward immediately, which made him feel uneasy that the power was out of control: "Are you all deaf! Don't drag people down!"

Xie Shoufu: "I can still walk by myself!"

Li Ji suddenly felt something bad when he heard the words...

The emperor is afraid that he will feel that this sentence is connoting him...

Xie Shoufu got up, the corners of his mouth were tense, and he took off the crimson robe.

Seeing this, Emperor Qingming's throat suddenly gushed out a fishy sweetness.

Li Ji immediately turned pale with shock.

Judging from the previous two experiences, His Majesty is definitely going to vomit blood!

as expected--

"……His Majesty!"

"Father!"

"emperor!"

In a panic, Imperial Physician Zheng quickly came to the hall.

"Your Majesty, don't get angry anymore, don't get angry anymore!" Imperial Physician Zheng confessed repeatedly while helping the man to lie down halfway - he probably said this sentence no less than a hundred times, and he has never been so wordy in his life!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please appease your anger..." Li Ji persuaded the emperor while wiping the blood on the side—he was different, he said this sentence no less than a thousand times!

Emperor Qingming lay there, his sunken eyes widened due to his thinness, his chest heaved up and down, and there was a strange and indistinct sound in his throat, obviously his anger still refused to dissipate.

He stripped off his shirt, and doctor Zheng gave some acupuncture treatment, and finally managed to stabilize his breathing.

Li Ji didn't know whether to relax or what.

"Your Majesty's legs..." He looked at the lower body of the Ming Huang Jin quilt, and said in a low voice, "Please ask Zheng Taiyi to have a consultation..."

Just now he looked at it, it seemed that he was not well...

The prince and two officials around the bed changed their eyes when they heard this.

Imperial Physician Zheng was also slightly surprised.

leg?

During the period when the emperor was in a coma, he and Imperial Physician Lu were responsible for all the wiping of the body. Because of what they saw, there were some speculations...

But as for the specifics, we have to wait until the emperor wakes up to make a conclusion.

"But what's unusual about your Majesty?" Imperial Physician Zheng asked tentatively as he lifted the quilt to look.

Li Ji sighed slightly.

The abnormal ones can't stand up anymore, so is there any need for "self-awareness"?

"...Your Majesty can't go to bed, even if someone supports him, he can't stand up, and his legs seem to be unable to use the slightest strength."

In fact, His Majesty also had symptoms of pain in the bones of the knees, ankles, and even fingers before this. Several imperial physicians prescribed medicine and continued to take it, but it did not improve.

Hearing the low voice in his ear, Emperor Qingming was extremely ashamed.

His legs are fine!

He didn't want to be surrounded by these people as if he was watching a joke!

He is the king of a country, and he is blessed by his own gods!

He wanted to drive everyone out and let them go, but he was so weak that he couldn't make a sound at all.

He could only let Dr. Zheng roll up his jacket and trousers, exposing everything about him to others.

As far as the prince and others could see, his knees and other joints were all unusually red and swollen.

Doctor Zheng felt hot when he touched it.

"Your Majesty's disease is very similar to Bi syndrome..." After checking and diagnosing the pulse, Imperial Physician Zheng said in a serious tone: "But compared with ordinary Bi syndrome, this disease comes on much more urgently..."

Anxious and even a little strange.

However, for the same disease, different people often have different symptoms and priorities, and they are also affected by other causes.

"Arthralgia...is it commonly known as gout?" The Minister of Rites frowned slightly: "How could your majesty suddenly suffer from gout? As far as I know, your majesty rarely drinks alcohol—"

This disease is not uncommon, especially among officials and wealthy families. His father suffered from it, and Lang interrupted it because of his alcoholism. But even so, his father was never paralyzed on the bed, unable to stand up—could the emperor's body be inferior to that of a seventy-year-old man?

"Although gout is related to drinking, the cause is not just drinking..." Dr. Zheng glanced at the emperor who seemed to have fallen into a coma, and said in a low voice hesitantly: "It is recorded in the "Huangdi Neijing" that the five internal organs Function, qi and blood imbalance, arthralgia is endogenous. Indulge in lust, kidney qi declines day by day, without the steaming of kidney qi and the warmth of kidney yang, under the accumulation of dampness and turbidity over time, the stagnation turns into heat for a long time, and flows into the joints, causing constipation Became a gout..."

Everyone looked complicated.

I don't quite understand the other ones, but I only remember one sentence--Let's indulge in sensuality, and the kidney qi is declining day by day!

In other words, the emperor's body was hollowed out, that's why he was so unwell, once the illness came, he couldn't stop it!

"And... as far as I know, Your Majesty has secretly taken a lot..." After a subtle pause, Zheng Taiyi said: "This will damage the foundation of the body..." I tried to persuade, but I didn't listen. , I insisted on giving birth, but my life was almost lost, and the one born was not my own... Hey, what is this called.

While the prince was worried and uneasy, he was a little dazed—what did the emperor secretly take to damage the foundation?

The same is true, but why do you adults seem to have understood it?

No one noticed that Emperor Qingming's eyes were trembling slightly on the bed.

"...Besides, His Majesty's liver qi has been stagnant for a long time, and he has been getting angry frequently recently. It is inevitable that the situation will deteriorate."

"The emperor's leg...is there still a way to heal it?"

"Now the lower officials can only do their best."

After hearing this answer, everyone understood.

I'm afraid I don't have much hope...

Not to mention the doctor Zheng, let alone the legs, how long this life can be saved is uncertain-the blood will be vomited from the head every three days, who's blood can withstand such a vomit?

After asking some other questions, several ministers left just now.

"Okay, put it on quickly..." Jiang Taifu picked up the official robe, walked to the outer hall and stuffed it into Xie Shoufu's hand.

Xie Shoufu frowned.

"You said you too, why do you have to say those radical words..."

Xie Shoufu didn't speak.

He didn't intend to anger the emperor...

And seeing that the emperor was cuckolded, he felt a little sympathetic, and he deliberately picked something nice to say, if it was in the past——

Hey, don't say anything.

"I know you have a passionate heart... But how can this matter be controlled by you and me alone? Haven't you understood what the emperor is like? Shu Ming, there is still a long way to go, it must be done." , but you can't walk on the cliff..." Jiang Taifu said earnestly.

On this point, how can he not learn from Jifu Yin?

Thinking of this "good student", Jiang Taifu was very satisfied - in the knowledge of how to survive in the turbulent waves and how to protect oneself when the two dynasties change, Jifu Yin has successfully graduated.

Xie Shoufu understood what he heard, but in the end he just sighed.

Everyone's fate is different, just like temperament, it is not so easy to change.

A group of six people had just left the Hall of Mental Cultivation not far away, when they saw an inner eunuch walking towards them.

This is a familiar face——Xiang Qing who serves pen and ink in the cabinet.

"Xie Shoufu, my lords!"

The inner eunuch saluted, obviously he was looking for them: "There is an urgent report from the south!"

south?

Could it be that there is something wrong with Dongwu? !

No matter how chaotic and exhausting it is, the King of Yan is also surnamed Xie, and it is always more frightening to compare that it has something to do with a foreign race.

"Where is the person who reported the letter!" Xie Shoufu asked while wearing his official robe-the emperor has done it, and the people of Daqing dawn are not wrong, but one day as a minister of Daqing, they still need to worry about it!

"I have been invited to the cabinet, please come back quickly, my lords!"

A group of people hurried away.

Thank you for asking yourself for the 15,000 book coins rewarded again, I am extremely flattered!

Today is a 5,000-word chapter, and the author of Turtle Speed ​​briefly expresses his apology for asking for leave yesterday.

The following are my thoughts about tuberculosis, which can be ignored——

After reading the reaction after the vaccine that everyone said, I really have everything. I agree with one thing, that is, I am thirsty, very thirsty! How thirsty I am, I am still thirsty to drink water while eating watermelon! But I don't have a headache today, and my symptoms should be very mild in comparison.

In addition, today is really a good day, it is the 19th birthday of the starting point, and it is also the day when Zhu Rong landed on Mars~

Let me celebrate the extra thousand words by the way hahaha
